Unperturbedpota:
Atiku was right when he said the FG should scrap NNPC ,Unfortunately I was among those who abuse him then. Now I know better..until.NNPC os scrapped our oil industry won't progress.

We will keep having all these escort of ridiculous experiences, just imagine we have oil yet dangote has to import crude to refine.

The Fulani mafia are controlling the NNPC

Won't you still abuse him because you see him through tribesmen lenses rather than through governance capabilities lenses, believing the fake stories about his corruption to distract from the WORSE corruption of his opponents?

EloquentMedia:
UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR ROLE IN SOCIETY, YOU CAN NEVER MAKE ANY MEANINGFUL CONTRIBUTION.

According to the Greeks there are three types of people on earth,

- the idiots,

- the tribesmen, and

- the citizens.

Studies show only 10% of Africans are citizens.

The remaining 90% are either tribesmen or idiots.


1. THE IDIOTS.
When the Greeks used the word "idiot", they did not use it as a curse word.

Idiots are people who just don’t care.

If they write exams, they will cheat.

If they are in government they will steal.

An idiot does not care at all, if he eats bananas he throws the peels anywhere instead of putting them in a trash bin.


According to the Greeks, some societies have more idiots than tribesmen and citizens.



2. THE TRIBESMEN
The next set of people are tribesmen, these are people that look at everything from the point of view of their tribe.


These are people that believe in you only if you are part of their tribe.

It can be terrible to have a tribesman as a leader, he will alienate the rest.


When the Greeks talk about tribes, it’s not just about ethnicity, they also consider religion as a tribe.

A great percentage of Africans are tribesmen, because they view everything from the point of view of their tribes.

They trust only their tribesmen.


3. THE CITIZENS
The last group are citizens.

These are people that like to do things the right way.

They will respect traffic light rules even if no one is watching them.

They drive within speed limits.

They respect the laws, won’t cheat in exams.

In government they won’t steal.

They are compassionate and give to others to promote their wellbeing.


Citizens often promote projects that benefit everyone.

The Greeks called this group the citizens.


Some countries have more citizens than tribesmen and idiots.

Others have so many idiots.


A tribesman can become a citizen through orientation.

And an idiot can become a citizen by training and constant enforcement of the law.


But things fall apart if you elect an idiot or tribesman to lead you if he has not been reformed.


Where do you belong?

Are you an idiot, a tribesman or a citizen?


Reflect about your life.

Reflect about your country and Africa in general before you answer.

You can't run an efficient government on lies, arrogance and propaganda.

It is worrying that BAT and his cronies/supporters feel that anyone who speaks up about the hardship and suffering his ineptitude and strong headed but seriously flawed decisions have caused is an enemy of Nigeria.

The real enemies of Nigeria are those who continue to praise failure.

This is terrible news for Nigeria. It simply means we can't meet up with our financial obligations to our international partners, meaning expect fuel scarcity very soon.
However,any right thinking Nigerian will think this report will motivate NNPCL to quickly work on the Refineries or in the short run, mandate Oil companies to supply Dangote Refinery all the crude it needs to supply all our needs as a nation but the reverse will be the case.
Asiwaju must mandate an end to Importation of Refined products the day Dangote pumps put its first liter of petrol.
He should also conduct an audit of Petrol Importation in the last 10 years,the figures I see this morning is alarming,how can Nigeria owe 6 billion dollars on petrol subsidy when our total budget for 2024 is around 23 billion dollars, enough of the madness going on in that cesspit of Corruption called NNPCL.
God bless Nigeria.

This is where Nigeria corruption resides , NNPC should be fingered like CBN. Without restructuring NNPC, Nigeria would continue to drown. This is where the cabals in the oil sector lies.

$6bn?
Tinubu is killing Nigeria. I hope it’s not intentional. He’s diverting money to things like the costal road that has no immediate benefits
And $250k or month for late payments?

You are right from your perspective, but when shall we implement it? We have been in it since Abacha's regime, how long will it take us to plan and prepare for it? Somebody just has to do it, if not the gang of thieves will keep on looking our treasury through Fuel Subsidy and FOREX.

But they are still looting it. So what did Tinubu achieve with all the hardships that he imposed on the nation?

Who are the suppliers?

The same cabal incharge of fuel subsidy from time immemorial.


They will always sort things out at the detriment of our collective resources.

Truth be told, Tinubu's policies were hurriedly pronounced and poorly implemented.

The "cabal" would disappear once the fuel subsidy is stopped and the price fully deregulated as done with diesel and kerosene

Where there is no wood, the fire dies out.

Anyone who supports the continuance of the fuel subsidy is part and parcel of the cabal.

If Tinubu was a sane person, he would have resigned for extremely poor performance. No, he would stay there to continue being called Mr. President and wasting our money on traveling just like Buhari. I think Nigerians should force him out since he doesn’t want to go by himself.

That is the reason why Nigeria should prioritize Dangote refinery by supplying it with crude oil for gasoline production. So that the country won't need to import gasoline anymore and incure this kind of costs

Lack of transparency in the oil and gas sector in Nigeria, will eventually lead to a revolution and Kenyan-like crisis.

Summary of this story is that subsidy still exist and Nigerians might have to pay like 1k per litre.

Did you say floating?

Now I know why these politicians get away with fooling the people easily when Niherians still think Naira is floated. It's a shame really. A floated currency is the one traded openly and no restrictions and all suppliers have equal foot in the market.

...even when the Minister if Finande made a Freudian slip that the currency needed to be devalued to attract more foreing investment?

...our people are blind forever.

timota:

Subsidy is not gone,floating of naira brought back subsidy cos fuel is sold in dollars,govt is secretly paying subsidy and is higher than what they were paying before removal of subsidy

Implementation is never a problem just dont put the cart before the horse simple. Nigeria is not a private enterprise where you wake in the morning n churn out one policy without due consultation.

I didn't even think in that direction I only used floated to mean destroyed naira.
Thanks for the correction

Ojuntana:

We have three budgets running and one incoming so it is statistically incorrect to say our total budget is $23bn.
Even if the refineries start working and you pump all your 1.3mbpd to them, how then do you get forex which comes from same crude sales. You see the dilemma now?

We lose more forex than we gain. Secondly we only need to supply the refineries what we would consume which is about 0.2 mbpd.

We should always look inward for long lasting solutions.

Hmm. Dangote will beg to disagree. He didn't build 650k bpd only to use less than 1/3
