Where are the 'our oyel-ians'? They will use your oil to develop Maiduguri like they used it to develop Lagos and Abuja. But unfortunately, some of you think Igbos are your problem

Don't mind the foolish Niger Delta people...they are the most stupid set of people in Nigeria followed by the guys in Middle Belt....


Minority thinking is disturbing them.....thank Lord I am not from these regions

Something their Northern brethren will keep blowing up every month, then they will start wasting money on repairs upon repair until they shut it down.

These people don't think

[b]God go bless u jare!!! The fear be say dem go play the game so tey na northerner go still enter come 2023. no say i no talk am o... I get very strong feeling say e go happen this way. No b mere prediction.. I wish other goepolitical zones can unite and project one candidate but greed will not allow them n as such we will foolishly give it to d north again... what a country, its like the sofa never reach o...[/b]

slowice:
See southerners speaking English with no sense.

These people are getting ready for eventualities cos they know it ll happen. Northern agenda is their only agenda, same reason Tinubu can't be president..... They don't trust him to support their agenda.

Resources from the south keep getting used to develop the north that contribute nothing tangible to the country, may thunder continue to strike Lugard's skeletons for establishing this fraud.

... Uncle, luggard has nothing to do with what going on now. U wanted independent he gave you. Pls is it luggard that says your leaders should embrace corruption.

Gas powered plant in Borno State with the insurgency is a misplaced priority and hazardous to those who resides nearby.

Another means of generating electricity Should have been sought for Borno.


Blowing it up at will won't be hard for BH

Solar farm could have been ideal for such place

And you think anyone will patronize this your business with this your mentality. Go and advertise is to the northerners, most of them are not on nairaland. So find a way of reaching them

The North needs this type of development in reality. Let's either support development in all parts of the Country or divide peacefully, no need to keep dragging ourselves.

Unfortunately, there's nothing they can do about it. Coming from a minority is something nobody should ever wish for. The majority will take you for granted and there's nothing you can do about it.

All na wash

Wike is busy chasing shadows fighting against just a cause(ipob/ESN) while war-torn region is being developed by money gotten at the back of his community

Waste of money. The north is a pest

Part of the plan.

It is the same idiot that went to sokoto and bow to the sultan of sokoto like a slave he is and even dash them 600 million naira.

He won't do anything. The thug of a governor is nothing but a fulani caliphate slave!!

North will continue to use their resources to develop their desert region since they see IGbo as their problems. There land will be exploited and polluted.

Almost all the oil block and oil in the South South are owned by Northerners yet the idiot called wike went to sokoto and bow down like a slave he is .

When you say south who are you talking about?

Zetty177x:
I don't even know what to say. Of what economic value is maiduguri? Anyway,the North knows one day we will all separate..so they want to take all they can. I blame the Niger Deltans...Guess what, they won't even react to this news. Or they might not even know the money and gas is coming from their region

They won't react because it has nothing to do with igbos. They are cowards!!

They are won't talk because they are slaves to the north.

The argument by many people here needs to be tested. There are currently many projects cited in the South like refineries, major gas fired power plants, petrochemical companies, seaports, massive LNG plants, numerous factories, major gas pipelines, depots, fertiliser companies, even several of Dangote's industries.

The North is largely underdeveloped in comparison with the South. To unleash our economic potential, the North has to be industrialised to an extent that it can wean itself off dependency on handouts. The country has gas in abundance, both from the rich Niger Delta or from newly discovered oil and gas fields in the North. Utilising gas for power is much cheaper and more sensible than solar or wind which are more expensive to generate and can't be anywhere near the same scale.

Rather than keep reading meanings to such moves, citizens should embrace it and ensure it benefits our people. The more regions of the country gets developed, the better for all. Attacks by militants on Southern infrastructure did not mean we shouldn't continue building them.

Finally, Mele Kyari the GMD NNPC is from Borno State so that would have weighed heavily towards citing the gas plant in Maiduguri. Afterall, this is Nigeria where some of the decisions get driven by such considerations.

I beg to say .. there is something fundamentally wrong with this proposition.

Does Micro and Macro economics mean anything to the
people at the aim of NNPC.

Do they do business case analysis and value engineering to validate their decision.

Where is the Gas feed coming from?

NLNG in finima is well suited - OGGS (offshore Gas Gathering System - Shell + JV) feeds LNG

Afam Gas Plant in Ogbigbo well suited

Gas plant for power generation in Maiduguri - Any thought of largest African Solar Panel ( Renewable Energy).

Gas monetization is not about building Gas Plant in Maiduguri. Nigeria was so supposed to be second behind (rival) Qatar when Raslaffan was incorporated in 1993.
Qas Gas has 14 LNG trains now.. The dream of NLNG was cut short in 2007 at train 6, took over a decade to revive train 7 project.

Saudi is building the world futuristic city called Neom inviting close to $500billon. Where AI /robotics will be 100% maximized.

Nigeria leaders?

Solar power plant would have been the best considering the abundance of solar energy they have up north. Dangote didn't choose lagos to site his refinery for no reason, security matters to all these big investments, because he is private business owner, he cares about the security of such a multibillion dollars investment. If Nigerian government is a private business owner, they would have been in a massive debt and liquidated by now. Gas powered plant only takes one shot of Boko Haram bomb to go up in flames. And how do they get gas to power the plant, another unnecessary massive infrastructural spending to construct the pipelines from the south that will serve the plant at the extreme end of the north. Even the pipelines are at risk of terrorist attack and massive cost of maintenance. The wasteful spending of this government on elephant projects is a call for concern.

How many have they built in the Niger Delta? If the Niger Delta State governors like make them form mumu.

They are protecting the oil pipeline that is used to drill and exploit their oil and gas

Chaii , Minorities are something else. They have minorities brain.

Oh Warri,PH and Bayelsa are fallen.A place that produces this resources are like ghost town.

michlins:
Where will the gas be coming from? This administration is plain stupid. The insane amount of money it will cost to lay pipe from South to far North will be enough to establish very big solar system in same North and it will forever solve their power issues.


The the South can use gas from oil rigs that are flared.

Oga , stop being clever by half.

Most of these investment were done by private sectors. How can you build as gas power station in a terrorists ravaged state like borno ? Have they solve the problem of Boko Haram there.

What is the borno state contributing to the treasury of Nigeria ? This project is waste of money and resources because Boko Haram boys will target it and bomb it.

we have a very useless government with zero brains....
Borno state that is experiencing a very serious security challenge. Even a governor is not safe in maiduguri with less than 15 army as escort.....

See Senseless people with Senselessness..

Zetty177x:


The way u reason eh...so it is nice to take resources from the south and use on the North..a city that has almost been destroyed by insurgency

Stop quoting that manna guy. He doesn't reason critically on his own all in a bid to be seen as faithful supporter of Buhari. Sometimes I wonder if he used to type certain things on Nairaland deliberately. Too bad honestly

The funny thing is that Northern cities of Kano Kaduna, Gombe are very well planned and structured more than oil producing states where the money with which they build Northern areas comes from.

A serious government would have taken advantage of high amount of sunshine in the North to construct solar powered energy capable of supplying electricity to the entire region.

The other time, Buhari led administration spent billions drilling oil in the North all to no avail. They think oil is what you can get in desert encroaching areas. Too bad
