Why has the little nation of Qatar spent 3 billion dollars to support the rebels in Syria? Could it be because Qatar is the largest exporter of liquid natural gas in the world and Assad won't let them build a natural gas pipeline through Syria? Of course. Qatar wants to install a puppet regime in Syria that will allow them to build a pipeline which will enable them to sell lots and lots of natural gas to Europe. Why is Saudi Arabia spending huge amounts of money to help the rebels and why has Saudi Prince Bandar bin Sultan been "jetting from covert command centers near the Syrian front lines to the Élysée Palace in Paris and the Kremlin in Moscow, seeking to undermine the Assad regime"? Well, it turns out that Saudi Arabia intends to install their own puppet government in Syria which will allow the Saudis to control the flow of energy through the region. On the other side, Russia very much prefers the Assad regime for a whole bunch of reasons. One of those reasons is that Assad is helping to block the flow of natural gas out of the Persian Gulf into Europe, thus ensuring higher profits for Gazprom. Now the United States is getting directly involved in the conflict. If the U.S. is successful in getting rid of the Assad regime, it will be good for either the Saudis or Qatar (and possibly for both), and it will be really bad for Russia. This is a strategic geopolitical conflict about natural resources, religion and money, and it really has nothing to do with chemical weapons at all.

It has been common knowledge that Qatar has desperately wanted to construct a natural gas pipeline that will enable it to get natural gas to Europe for a very long time. The following is an excerpt from an article from 2009...

Qatar has proposed a gas pipeline from the Gulf to Turkey in a sign the emirate is considering a further expansion of exports from the world's biggest gasfield after it finishes an ambitious programme to more than double its capacity to produce liquefied natural gas (LNG).

"We are eager to have a gas pipeline from Qatar to Turkey," Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the ruler of Qatar, said last week, following talks with the Turkish president Abdullah Gul and the prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the western Turkish resort town of Bodrum. "We discussed this matter in the framework of co-operation in the field of energy. In this regard, a working group will be set up that will come up with concrete results in the shortest possible time," he said, according to Turkey's Anatolia news agency.

Other reports in the Turkish press said the two states were exploring the possibility of Qatar supplying gas to the strategic Nabucco pipeline project, which would transport Central Asian and Middle Eastern gas to Europe, bypassing Russia. A Qatar-to-Turkey pipeline might hook up with Nabucco at its proposed starting point in eastern Turkey. Last month, Mr Erdogan and the prime ministers of four European countries signed a transit agreement for Nabucco, clearing the way for a final investment decision next year on the EU-backed project to reduce European dependence on Russian gas.

"For this aim, I think a gas pipeline between Turkey and Qatar would solve the issue once and for all," Mr Erdogan added, according to reports in several newspapers. The reports said two different routes for such a pipeline were possible. One would lead from Qatar through Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq to Turkey. The other would go through Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria and on to Turkey. It was not clear whether the second option would be connected to the Pan-Arab pipeline, carrying Egyptian gas through Jordan to Syria. That pipeline, which is due to be extended to Turkey, has also been proposed as a source of gas for Nabucco.

Based on production from the massive North Field in the Gulf, Qatar has established a commanding position as the world's leading LNG exporter. It is consolidating that through a construction programme aimed at increasing its annual LNG production capacity to 77 million tonnes by the end of next year, from 31 million tonnes last year. However, in 2005, the emirate placed a moratorium on plans for further development of the North Field in order to conduct a reservoir study.

thanks bro

ronalmagic10: op, you did the right thing by telling her the truth. It's better you hurt someone with the truth than comfort them with lies. What if you covered it and she finds out when yiu are bith married? It will be hell!! Do your best and leave the rest to sort out itself.
Let her understand how hurt you were and what led you to do what you did.
Convince her with words and your actions that you are truly.
Address the issues that led to the break up at first.
Show genuine concern for her felelings and apologize for your actions.
Give her time and space
NB: Don't demand her to forgive you because you once forgave her. You must truly deserve it.
Tell her the plans you have for her because you have dated her for more than 7 yrs now. So make effort to settle down

If she can't move on after all you have done to pacify her then you better look forward and don't force her cos you really need her heart to be in the relationship for the marriage to work.

God help you.

no thats not what i mean, all i'm trying to say is,she shouldn't be blamed like the op tried to do but rather advised on the right steps to take which is going to take time. hope you feel me dear?

chidyhels:
so wen she's heading for destruction,i should be mute cos you can't control who you fall in love with?
Guy,u funny o

thanks dear

chidyhels:

sit her down,relate your observations to her,convince her to trust you. The decision is hers,who knows,her coldness may not be as a result of the truth you just told her, something is bothering her and you need to knw what exactly.

chidyhels:
You knw all these,yet you went back. Love is never enough.

this thing called love is very deep, can drive you crazy trust me..guy you need to see what it does to people, but yet its beautiful ..so guy don't blame her cos its something you can't control...

yeh i was acting based on my emotions then(wasn't thinking straight), i was hurt plus at that time her family never really wanted both of us to get married, and that was when i met this other girl and i decided to give it a try.I never said i was right all i'm saying is how do i get my love back?"..we all mistakes but the problem is living with our mistakes.

chidyhels:
This is how a lot end up in a mess and called it marriage. You claim to forgive yet u paid her back,cos as far as am concerned you have paid her back already,miscarriage or not. Who knw hw much more she would get when she falls short again. I really wished that your pay back worked,lets see who finally got a pay back.

na really who send me, guy that was my greatest mistake o..but i just believe things go turnaround somehow though

Jenams: GBAM, who send u msg? Do u tink u knw everytin abt her 100%? Girls r very funny set sha. She offended him wit sometin similiar, yet he came bak and forgives her without distrust, but she prolly can't do same for him. Hypos! Abeg leave her bro. Let her continue to search for a Jesus d son of mary.

she is hurt cos she never for once believed i wwould hav gone that far, she has done similar things to me in the past and i forgave her and took her back, so i think she is shocked that i really did something this time around .

chidyhels:
Gbamest!!

Love is never enough to keep two individuals together,you wanted a pound of flesh and who knows,you may come up with another one 2moro.

Oga,u have a lot of convincing to do,and if you don't you may lose her to even someone else she hardly loved but can trust.

@jumsnarol..tnx for your advice ..

since i have been in his shoes i can chip in a little advice..if he came back for you then you are the special one in his life. trust me his ex will understand if he talks it over with her and let her know he is not n love with but with you. anyway goodluck.

last year my girlfriend and i got into a fight and we decided to move on, i was hurt and i guess i wanted to pay her back and so i meet another girl, in the course of our dating(the new girl) she got pregnant, so i made arrangements to meet her parents, but somehow she had a miscarriage and things started falling apart and we decided we where not compatible, but i guess for me i was looking for my 'then Ex' in her(i have been with my then Ex for over seven years). And so i and my Ex got back together after that episode and i immediately started making moves to take us to the next level, and at this point i decided to come clean and i told her about the other relationship. After that our relationship have never remain same again and she has threatened to call off our marriage plans..even though we talk and she visits i still feel deep down that my girl is no longer the same person she is so different now and i don't understand why she is so cold especially considering the fact that i came back to her after she caused me so much pain. i still forgave her but ...? i l love her and she knows i guess that's one of my mistakes ..so please what do i do

THE Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE) has received $559.5 million (N88.4 billion) from 14 bidders for 15 successor electricity companies as at Thursday.

The BPE, in a statement yesterday, said all the preferred bidders for the 15 Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) (successor companies) have met the deadline for the payment of the mandatory 25 per cent of the offer value of their bids.

Meanwhile, succour may have come the way of Power Distribution Companies (DISCOS) as the House of Representatives yesterday adopted and passed a resolution urging the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, to accommodate their financial needs, as well as that of Power Generation Companies (GENCOS).

This, according to the Parliament, should come by way of a supplementary budget to facilitate the discharge of their functions of providing electricity to the people while waiting for the process of privatisation to be perfected.

The statement signed by BPE Spokesperson, Joe Chigbo Anichebe, stated that the agency, on March 21, 2013, received $31 million from four more Power Consortium for Port-Harcourt Distribution Company; $31.5 million from Interstate Electrics Limited for Enugu Distribution Company; and $27,913,633.50 from North-South Power Company for Shiroro Power Plc, being the mandatory 25 per cent of the bid value for the electricity companies.

It noted that earlier, Vigeo Consortium, the preferred bidder for Benin Distribution Company, had paid $32.25million; Transcorp/Woodrock Consortium, the preferred bidder for Ughelli Power Plc, paid $75 million; CMEC/EUAFRIC Energy JV, the preferred bidder for Sapele Power Plc, paid $50,249,965; Kann Consortium, the preferred bidder for Abuja Distribution Company, paid $41 million; Aura Energy, the preferred bidder for Jos Distribution Company, paid $20,464,968.15; Mainstream Energy Limited, the preferred bidder for Kainji Power Plc, paid $59,467,500; and Sahelian Power SPV, the preferred bidder for Kano Distribution Company, paid $34.25 million.

It added: “Other bidders are: Amperion Power Company Limited, the preferred bidder for Geregu Power Plc, which paid $33 million; Integrated Energy Distribution & Marketing Company, the preferred bidder for Ibadan and Yola Distribution Companies, which paid $42.25 million and $14.75 million for Ibadan and Yola Discos; NEDC/KEPCO, the preferred bidder for Ikeja Distribution Company, which paid $32.75 million; and West Power & Gas, the preferred bidder for Eko Distribution Company, which paid $33.75 million.

It would be recalled that the final approval of the preferred bidders by the National Council on Privatisation (NCP) and its announcement for the successor companies was done on October 23, 2012.

The Nigerian electricity industry has been unbundled into generation and distribution companies and a single transmission company with a view to encouraging private sector participation and attracting foreign and local investments into the Nigerian power sector to ensure economic and reliable electricity supply.

Adopting a motion introduced by the Chairman, House of Representatives Committee on Power, Patrick Ikhariale, the House contended that the power sector was critical to the economy and should not be neglected, especially in the area of funding.

Sincere 9gerian:
Even the ones that did not raise a finger on the issue of second Niger Bridge since 1979 has always gotten your votes. I dont understand your anger on this issue. Is it because Peter Obi's name was mentioned?

Previous report was that the Bridge will be completed in 2017 but I was pleasantly surprised to hear the minister say it will be completed in 2015.

The project is worth about N100billion, out of which FG will bring N30billion and Julius Berger N70billion.

I'm very sure of the construction of the bridge under this dispensation because the project is part of SURE-P. Any project under SURE-P is a forgone conclusion because the funds, which is usually the major cause of abandoned projects in Nig, is READY at hand.

However, what I dont know is whether they'll meet up with the target of completing it in 2015.

since julius berger will build and operate it for 25yrs plus with the AIMS financing, i see them completing the project in a modest time frame...MONEY MATTER

THIS SHOWS THAT THE OP UNDERSTANDS THE DEFINITION OF BEAUTY IN A UNIQUE SENSE..... KUDOS!

he is not my frnd all i no abt him is all she has told me n same for him too

lrguru:

So u mean u can snatch ur friends GF because u love her or lust after her?

@irguru and caracta,thnaks a million for ur contributions.

hear dis, b4 i met dis gal my mum called me n told me abt her n dat she wnts me 2 meet her,n i refused cos i didnt wnt arrangi marriage..months leta i traveled to the east for a different engagement and while i was waiting for my frnd to show up, i saw a girl and immediatly fell in love with her i chased her and few hours leta she happened to be the same girl my mum wanted me meet. so u see i believe thrs a divine touch ...she is a great person seriously she is worth it..irguru u talked abt having game n all dat(smiling), bro this is beyond that, bro believe me u no go undastnd but anyhow i like ur contribution and i need more

jst so u no she allowed me meet her family and the reaction has been positive so far

Mynd_44:
Don't be. Cos from your post, it seemd you don't understand what the OP meant. The girl did not say she loves the OP. She did not even say she wants him. She told him to back away and he should respect it. Now in my question to you which you answered, I aske you to put yourself in that situation.

You wrote that if your guy was in love with her but this is not the case.....your BF tells her he is not interested and she keeps calling his line and bugging him would you keep encouraging her? You really don't have to answer cos it is rhetorical

haba? no be true say "my woman today na anoda man woman yesterday" ..

Yield: Na wa for some people, haba!! The girl's taken already, TAKEN!! Do I need to say that again? OPEN YOUR EARS well well: TAKEN!! Leave her alone!! She doesn't like you, you're only seeing what you want to see and trying to get her confused. She doesn't want to leave her man for you, so find someone else. Besides, if you've to force someone to feel something for you and be with you, then that's not love and the r-ship won't work for you ...because the foundation was false to begin with. Oju kokoro o da ooo!! Make una find your own woman, plenty women dey Naija.

i feel you ..thanks man

Inosenduatall: So far the guy is question is not your friend or is not someone you know, i say go for her. Give it your best shot.

Life is too short. And i know some ladies personally who found their Mr Right (husband) after they thought they had found their Mr Right (ex-fiance).

So long as the other dude aint put a ring on it, i say she's fair game. Wish u luck!

yeh i still dey on am! one minute she go gree the other minute she go say, the oda guy neva giv her reason 2 leave am

dopeJemi:

gree-die:
..... something borrowed...

go for wat u want.

guys i appreciate ur sincere opinions..do i jst back out? dnt i hav d right to at least give it a shot! life it self is a mystery what if @ d end i turn out to be the guy.?

I met a girl last year,and fell in love with her almost immediately. i think she likes me but the problem is she has been in a relationship with someone else for over 3yrs.
she happens to be my kid sister's best friend. my parents also love her and they wish i get married to her, which is exactly my plan for the relationship.
the problem is she insist she cant let the other guy go cos he has done nothing to deserve such. i am sure she feels something for me and consistently ask that i stop calling so as not to get her confused, but i cant cos she the is girl of my dreams,she is all i think of this days.. sincerely i have never felt the way i feel each time i hear or see her .....

i want her and don't intend to stop till i make her my wife plz does this make a selfish person
