Politics / Re: Senate Probes N11.35tn Spent On Rehabilitation Of Refineries by budaatum: 7:41pm On Aug 31
OkCornel:

All these refineries were working at full capacity at some point in their life cycle.

In Nigeria? When?

OkCornel:
Again, the combined capacity of the local refineries is sufficient to meet the needs of the nation with importation as a last resort, not the mainstay as it fraudulently is!
Capacity, perhaps. Actual output? I doubt it.

And I personally don't think "the combined capacity of the local refineries (minus Dangote's) is sufficient to meet the needs of the nation".

If you look at fuel usage per capita, you'd find we use less per person compared to most countries, and that's because of lack of availability. If we had the fuel, we'd use it. As it is, we are starved of fuel (and energy).

Thieving contractors and their cronies must be exposed for the frauds that they are!

I agree. I must shine my eyes so Thieving contractors and their cronies don't get to positions where they can steal from us.

I should start by not electing the thieves' cronies so they don't give their cronies thieves contracts to steal.

OkCornel:


The thieves are the contractors and their cronies in government that spent over $40 billion on refineries that are not functioning right now.

Leave the masses out of this and call out the thieves and traitors.

I guess you'd want me to leave the masses me out of the consequences too, but I'm afraid I'm far too responsible for that as to leave me out of the cause of my own sufferings, especially when masses me is responsible for electing the cronies in government.

I should rather shine my eyes and not let cronies in government than shut them and lament about cronies in government that got there due to my willful blindness.

Are you telling us Nigeria stopped refining crude oil locally from 1972 onwards?

No, I'm not telling you "Nigeria stopped refining crude oil locally from 1972 onwards".

I'm saying, (though not telling you, as I expect you not to take my word for it and do your own research to confirm or debunk), that our refineries never worked to capacity they were built for, and never fully supplied Nigeria's fuel needs.

Our refineries are probably currently refining crude oil today, but likely just so little that it doesn't show on any radar.

One just need consider that we can't get the amount of crude oil out of the ground that we have the capacity for, how much less refine it, a process that requires much more brain cells.

From your post:

The government's reliance on foreign refining of crude oil has negatively affected the country's fuel supply and economic stability.

Our reliance on foreign refining of crude oil began before we built refineries.

OkCornel:


The refineries that worked quite well in 60s, 70s, 80s and early 90s were suddenly “not designed to work” from the late 90s till date?

Those refineries did not work "quite well", apart from those built and owned by foreigners. Ever since Nigeria owned 60% of them from 1972 onwards, they've barely worked at all.

Who should we hold accountable for the $40 billion spent on maintenance with no results to show for it?

Me. You. Nigerians. For being so ignorant!

And you don't need to bother holding us accountable, because we are already accounting for it by having to pay back the 40b we borrowed and not having any fuel.
Politics / Re: Senate Probes N11.35tn Spent On Rehabilitation Of Refineries by budaatum: 2:41pm On Aug 31
OkCornel:


Between 1999 till date, the government has spent over $40 billion on “turn around maintenance” of its refineries with nothing to show for it.

Hence my question, why is our refineries not working?

Who should we hold accountable for the $40 billion spent on maintenance with no results to show for it?

The government will spend 80b on “turn around maintenance” and the refineries will still not work because they were never designed to work.

Its like you spending 80b on a car I sold you that has no engine or gear box. Until you learn about gear boxes and engines, your car is going nowhere. And even after you learn about gear boxes and engines, you'd only find out the car I sold you still wouldn't work because all the other materials I put in the car, including the seat and steering wheel, were not designed to work.

Besides, you know very well that the 'government' has not spent 40b on any "turn around maintenance”, but have spent it on turning around their own individual lifes.

Fuq! Do I seriously need to tell you of all people to be more cynical?

OkCornel:
Why are the refineries not working?

The refineries were not built to work.

We went to Russia to get people to build refineries for us and expect Russia that wants you to buy oil from them to build you refineries that work!

That's like asking the association of generator sellers to build you NEPA, and your are surprised you have no light. Or getting a mechanic who wants to sell you a car to certify the car is in good condition.

If Nigeria wants refineries that work, Nigerians would need to stop being naive and learn to say "let there be refineries" so refineries are.

That is what Dangote has done, and is why we ought to celebrate him.
Foreign Affairs / Re: Why Nigeria Does Not Have Any Colony ? by budaatum: 2:16pm On Aug 31
People who descend from Adam do not have colonies.

Colonies are for those created in the image of the gods, and who understand that they should "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground”, and are given "every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.

Those who don't eat the fruits of the trees of knowledge will always be colonised due to their lack of knowledge.

Government needs to look into this loan app issues.

They give loans with exorbitant interest rate, yet mandate people to pay in an unreasonable specific period of time.

They are all the same

Look at what someone is offering me as loan

I think loan applicants need to look into the loan they apply.

Why would a sensible person accept a loan for ₦6000 and accept to pay ₦10910 after 7 days unless they have no sense at all?

How do this guys those multiple numbers from?

A condition of giving you a loan is you give them your contacts. In some cases, their app is designed to steal those contacts in case they are needed when you don't pay.

Do you know what quid quo pro means?

Basically, you quidded but got no pro in return, so I guess you can take your phone back.

Personally, I'm glad her dad slapped her. No father wants their daughter to be in the ashewo business.

Next time, let the person know what you are quidding for to avoid misunderstandings with the pro you want in return.
