None of your children will live old enough to talk.
Sorrow will never depart from your family.

Eternal body odour will always follow you wherever you go.

Strange Nigeria.

As soon as a private citizen opens the biggest refinery in Africa, suddenly the ancient public one starts working.

Tell me what's that if not magic? Hahahahaha 🤣

how has that "political will of Tinubu's government to make it work by fire by force" improved the living standard of nigerians, reduced inflation, corruption, insecurity, unemployment, budget padding, impunity, wasteful government spending, cronyism and nepotism?

how has this "political will of Tinubu's government to make it work by fire by force" improved public infrastructure and government social services to the people of nigeria?

No one is perfect except God. Appreciate good act first before pointing shortcomings. Obasanjo, Yar Adua, Jonathan and Buhari failed Nigerians on fixing of refinery. Nigeria did nothing to them.

That does not meant that ex presidents did not had positive contributions on some section of the Nigeria state.

Even emilokan critics are confirming his wonders.....
May God shame and silence your critics forever....
OBI himself already congratulated NNPC even while his dumb and zombified supporters are still wailing........

TUANKU:

Did you read the comment upside down or you just didn't comprehend. "As a critic of this government "...that means i am referring to myself as the critic of this government but is impressed with the refinery coming back up.

That guy is a robot.
Always on repeat.

Good news, thank God oo

How does that answer the questions below?

1. how has that "political will of Tinubu's government to make it work by fire by force" improved the living standard of nigerians, reduced inflation, corruption, insecurity, unemployment, budget padding, impunity, wasteful government spending, cronyism and nepotism?

2. how has this "political will of Tinubu's government to make it work by fire by force" improved public infrastructure and government social services to the people of nigeria?

That's your imagination. The fact is most of you sycophants only want something you can brag with not that you really care if anything improves in Nigeria. You all were the same folks praising Buhari for rice pyramids. Now that the pyramids have been proven to be a scam, no one is hearing anything from you. Same goes for the economy crashed by Buhari. You joined Buhari to blame Jonathan and you are helping Tinubu to blame Buhari today.
So your so-called hope is not because you really care that it works but so you can brag. Don't come here acting like you're so morally up there and love this country more than anyone else

Even you know that you just typed a pile of nothingness. I have never "blamed Buhari today" - whatever you think you mean by that. I have always mainted that Buhari did some good for whatever bad anyone wants to say about him. So where did you get your funny ideas from?

But I love the way you showed your emotions here, particularly the bolded. Isn't that a classic case of projective identification? My bragging, if any, is about the progress and greatness of the nation of Nigeria. You can easily go through my posts to see if you can find me "bragging" about anything else - like what? Am I a member of Tinubu or Buhari's family to brag on their achievements? What kind of senseless allegation is that even? Do you see how you think?

I hope you can now go back to your mirror and confirm whether what I said applies to you or not.

Ofcourse enlightened and patriotic Nigerians like myself know PHR has been operational and functioning since it reopened.

Good to hear its capacity has been increased to 90%

TUANKU:
Good news. As a critic of this government i commend them on this one, it is a good development. I pray they extend it to Warri and Kaduna refineries as well.
Some Ekuke are barking at me for commending the government. I am not a supporter of Tinubu but that doesn't mean i won't commend him if he does something right, this same refinery OBJ, GEJ and Buhari all promised to fix it but failed so why won't i be glad it has been done? I don't have anything personal against the president. You lot can go around like headless chickens and see nothing good in the government. Once again kudos to the Tinubu led administration for making this a reality, na Nigeria refinery no be Tinubu own so if you wish to be blinded by your hate for Tinubu that's your biz but don't try to force everyone to do same. Banza!

Well said!

Yemmysworld91:
One sad reality 2023 election brought to the fore is the fact that some persons just perpetually want their country to fail. Win or lose, that shouldn't be. And we should celebrate the few wins of the so called government, even if we ain't in support of them. Shalom

It's just very unfortunate!

DeepSight:


Well lets look at the instant subsidy removal on day one. Well, they claimed it was gone. How come the price went up again and again?
In fact the only place in the world where prices are increased two weeks after a nationwide protest was here.

The only place in the world where PMS prices were increased in one day by over 200 per cent was here.

Instantly you then float the naira and make everything worse.

Can you just look at the prices of groceries and foodstuff - and medicines?

Do you know how many people have died as a consequence?

Look, its not good enough to say he must have the NASS on his side and therefore bribe them. That is corruption.

As for the TAX Bill - it is not enough. The only contentious issue there is allocation of VAT.

This is a man who led protests against subsidy removal in 2012 on the streets. He didnt waste one second once inaugurated and removed it totally with four cynical words. Tell me, was that honest?

Okay, you then also remove electricity subsidies - drastically causing greater problems.

Look my brother, when Tinubu won, I actually thought it was a good thing because he is a visionary businessman. However lets admit he is not doing well.

Tell me, what is he doing with France? Is that not corruption? He has made this country the slave of the IMF and WB.

I dont think its right to say this kind of leader means well. He is out to destroy Nigeria and kill many of its people with harsh policies while he lives large.

Why did he buy a new jet? Was it necessary?
Why did he grant Chagoury a N15 Trillion contract - which was not approved by the NASS or even considered at all. It didnt go through any form of procurement rules of the BPP.

There are too many things to point to.
Its not enough to say "he means well" when people are being killed by his harsh policies.

You're mixing too many issues.

Let's start with the context: Nigeria's revenue-to-debt ratio was 97%. Do you understand what this means? Nearly every drop of income was going towards paying debts. This means living on more debt but already existing debtors were getting tired. Please do your research on these issues as it is impossible to have a reasonable discussion without this conctext.

1. Rising Fuel Prices

Up until recently, we have imported fuel, which means the price was dependent on the dollar. In the same post above, you have alluded to dollar being floated. Doesn't the resultant increase in dollar price then explain why an unsubsidized fuel price would then be increased? This is self-explanatory.

2. Is it relevant what he did in 2012? So if he was wrong in 2012, does that mean he should stubbornly persist in the wrong position just to appear honest? Come on. Let's have a serious talk here. Mind you, I never said Tinubu is a good person or he is the most honest person. I said he means well as Nigeria's president which he is today.

3. He is out to destroy Nigeria and kill many of its people with harsh policies

What would he gain from that? The easiest way to steal money as president is to maintain those fraudulent fuel subsidies and pay yourself as much as you like.

4. New jet is not a necessary talking point. I have agreed with you that some of the lavishing was wrong.

5. France and IMF. Now you are sadly delving into beer parlourisms.

a. How on earth can you say that having relations with another foreign nation - France - is corruption. What is the corruption there??

b. Under Tinubu, Nigeria has grown her foreign reserves and reduced her total loan portfolio. So what do you mean by slavery to the IMF and World Bank? In what way are we slaving to them? Does collecting loans amount to slavery?? How? What do they get in return other then their money back? This is disappointing and looking like you are simply hellbent on portraying the man in a bad light.

Well, while you are at it, I hope you can mention the Nigerian leader that has not collected loans since 1999. Good luck

I will give a detailed response later but first and foremost, please know that the claim that 97 percent of revenue was being used to service debt is the most silly lie ever spread in this country. If you think logically, you will see at once that it was always impossible.

PS: France / Corruption is not beer parlour talk. I know where Macron used to hang out in Lagos and it was a favorite hang out of mine as well. If you dont understand what's going on with France, I will take time to explain later.

PPS: If you know that the price of PMS is dependent on the USD, it is ridiculous to devalue the naira and expect that the same prices will not increase after you claim to remove subsidy. You will then have to pay more for the product again.

Later.

The funny thing is that this claim was made popular by the opposition, who used to sing this as an ode to Buhari's incompetence, so who is then fooling who? Well, I look forward to your rebuttal.

You don't have sense honestly. So criticising the government when they plan an obvious propaganda means they want the country to fail abi. Have you people forgotten how you maligned Jonathan when he wanted to remove subsidy which they was the best time to remove it. Also Labor leaders can be easily bought over, how can a refinery start being functional when the calibration has not started or has not been done to get goos quality distillate?

I've ignored every mention, but not this cos you came with the dumb brain of the set of people i was referring to. Since you are foolish enough to know better than the nlc guys and engineers that certified the refinery as functional continue to be stupid and be an armchair critic. Foolish dummy

Labour Leaders of all People, are the ones will will be using as a Litmus test in confirming important Govt things?

Have we forgotten that Oshiomole was a Labour Chairman under Obasanjo and Labour was Protesting the increase in Fuel Price?

Have we forgotten what himself and Abatti did to that protest and how it "helped" their career, making Oshiomole Governor and Abatti was then nominated by OBJ, as Presidential Spokesman for incoming Jonathan administration?

I would Trust the Police First, before Trusting any Nigerian Labour Leader.

Oga it is simple was the refinery calibrated? it was not, this is clearly political as they have been bought over. Stop being daft, you cannot deceive Nigerians anymore.
Why the desperation on PH refinery going live? The same refinery three months earlier missed its deadline to be fully fixed?

Thank you, for raising these issues.
Most Nigerians are either Brain-Dead, or they just enjoy being Hypocrites and Sycophants.
The fact that the Country is in a sorry state, for over 60years, should make any right-thinking person to realize that all those Leaders that they praise, as they come-and-go, have not done anything positive for this Country and we need to stop the "arze-licking" of our Rulers!

Absolutely nonsensical.
Not quite long the FG promised NLC that if they insisted on 200.000 naira as minimum wage then the FG will increase the pump price. This was what the purported labour leaders were told and in return they came and told those they claim they were fighting for and the rest is history by all.......
There's no sense in anyone who would believe this same labour leaders and also the FG and those who have turned the PH Refinery into a sham of different kinds of stories,come today and tomorrow.

That's true but don't deny that there is an element of people actually wanting this government to fail so that they can say "good for you, shebi we told you to vote a certain person."

If not, the naysayers would actually be happy when the government proves them wrong, after all it is for the benefit of the common man if things like these work. But nope, they are all silent and bitter because their negative talk is being confronted by workings.

It is the duty of the government to keep the naysayers shut by doing the right thing! You're shifting blame to the wrong person because ass slicking is your calling!

You would have taken him serious if he has said otherwise and called for strike

It is the duty of the government to shut the naysayers up and clearly the naysayers are shut up. Does that have a bearing on the particular subject of discussion?

It's a little too subtle for you eh? Too bad.

you go cry taya

The refinery doesn't have any significant benefits to the masses, it doesn't improve the welfare of the people, making the refinery to be functioning means nothing to people that pays so much for PMS in liters.

The Government policies are adversely non inconsequential.

What a failed state.

Sleekfingers:
Good....

I thought that useless old orangutan called Obasanjo said , the refinery cannot work ...

Don’t be too fast, how many months has the refinery worked?

Thank God the PH refinery is now working, our prayer is that it will continue to produce and also will eventually crash the pump price.
