How Dangote refinery exposed the lies of Buhari and Tinubu's government ...

Unfortunately,you don't even understand what is at stake or why did you bring in Tinubu here- for a govt that is just 7- Months Old!
Hatred will not kill you!

How
Or you just typed WD

Our planning approach in Nigeria is reactive and not proactive.

The fault is from everyone and not government institutions alone.

The question is: Did I lie?

If the Dangote refinery was built in Niger Delta, there would be no need for shipping, just pipe the crude there.

Niger Delta, una see unasef? Your insecurity is making you lose your birthright!

Dangote refinery was designed not only to refine crude from. Niger delta WHICH bis sweet crude. But also heavy crude from south America and Angola.

I don't kuku understand

the ship wey carry the crude oil na big one wey Nigeria no fit get. The ship small well well, e go carry 1 million barrels. Dem dey call that size suez max

They are only interested in driving keke, especially the university graduates.

Many companies moved their headquarters to Lagos when the kidnapping of expatriates intensified around early 2000.

One of the factors in deciding establishment of a production company is nearness to source of raw material. If the Niger Delta is safe, most of these oil companies will not have left and new ones would happily join

You have a point, but it's no longer like that compared to what Boko Haram is doing in the North.

Even with insecurity in Abuja, way worse than the Niger Delta, since 2015, companies and embassies are moving there on a daily basis.

Kidnappers operate in Abuja with ease. In fact, terrorists are in Abuja everyday. Why didn't they move essential establishments out of there?

Militants operated 10-15 years ago and their damages isn't as horrific as Boko Haram has been doing since 2014.

Think about it. If the government and companies are so scared, why not they move all the drilling companies out of the Niger Delta and drill them in Ogun or Lagos so that the Niger Delta can rest?

There are just too many lies and deception in Nigerian Government

Since you seem to understand the article, please tell what the article got to do with Nigeria govt? Who stops you from having a vessel business so Dangote can patronize you. It seems you all just like to criticize Nigeria.

They are trying to explain why the petrol will be expensive "in advance"

Most companies in Abuja are mandated to be there by virtue of Abuja being capital.

I'm from Niger Delta and I feel we're being shortchanged in Nigeria. I recognize that part of the reason is self inflicted while the other part is the insensitivity of the Nigerian state.

Hopefully, there'd be restructuring and resource control some day

Nigeria shall be great. God bless the federal Republic of Nigeria

Nothing was exposed, we know all along of the criminality going on in the country

Besides insecurity, Major marketers have there depot situated in Lagos, retaining the existing distribution network is cost effective

Dangote refinery is not only for local consumption, therefore closeness to Port is one big advantage for Lagos to Export

The need wasn't there b4...but now we have the need...

What is a welcome development?
Anyways, me I'll soon be building an indigenous vessel that can compete on that scale.

Thank you OP,for your exhaustive and detailed information on the so called Shipping Companies and Shipping Businesses in Nigeria.
You remember some years ago,when we used to have National Shipping and Maritime Company majorly based in Apapa and suddenly, Everything fizzled out!
1•You know at that time,we have NLC and their supporters in Maritime Companies,etc We also have the Unions, that threatened Govt-on many occasions but the question is on OP analysis:
2- So, what happened that all those noises were just for selfish and self -serving of Members alone and the Unions cadre,not for Nigerian Masses
3•So,no one and not even the NLC, could ask ,or even task the Govt-on the need to have the Big -Ships and Shipping Company ,with Capacity to deliver on What Dangote now have,just because Nigeria System - never Prepared for greatness like today!
4- So,Dangote's have to be renting these Big-Ships,to function, thereby paying heavily what we Nigerians- should have instead! The Foreign Ships will charge in Dollars ($) at the detriment of Nigeria Naira!
5- What happens to our NNPC leaders foresight -or they are more interested in Importing -Fuels,with other Nations Ships, because it's more lucrative and without the risk of owning Big Ships to the specification of those Ships that can meet Dangote's Refinery business,if only they Could Think Outside the Box!
6• Where are the Shippers Councils ,the NIMATA or what do you call them- under Fed.Govt Appointments?
•Rather than find Solutions to Nigeria Problems, they were busy, fighting, Collecting Union Dues on unnecessary Strikes,etc.
•That is the Shame of a Nation- that is being Exposed by Dangote Refineries Business, because all those who knows what to do, were busy looking elsewhere!
God bless Dangote!

When I went to Apapa port two years ago on a posting, we were not allowed to enter the ship. We only stood close to it and took pictures.


I was sad and angry at first but we were told the ships belonged to foreigners and there was nothing we could do about it.

There was no single ship owned by a Nigerian.

No airline national carrier, no maritime shipping line for crude oil. Abeg wetin Nigerian gan dey do sef ?

Ajehkpako4naija:
Abeg Dangote reduce fuel to 200/litre that is all I want to hear from you, not all these useless news to give hopelessness

Simple as ABC we don't want to hear another new lies again period 😡

You have a point but what happens to the Ondo oil wells? There are oil companies there drilling as well. Obat Oil, Agip shell and Chevron used to be there. Dangote can still tap from there and lay pipes across the coastal lines directly to his refineries.

Maybe he's afraid of the cost implications in the laying of the pipes, vandalism too.

I expect a change of that in close future as some big players are expected to step up or take up the opportunity to invest largely in logistics opportunities opened up by the commencement of production at the facility.

MORE WINS AHEAD


WE RISE!

Not only owning a ship, building one too. I do watch on Discovery ID how most Singapore companies build those extremely mighty ship and I can't just help but marvel.

I saw one documentary how Palm oil is being shipped from Malaysia, the risk navigating the sea and all the technology involved. Forget it, we still have a very long way to go as a country.

Besides, if someone from Nigeria owned ship with such capacity, what would he be shipping with it? Maybe register with NNPC to be shipping crude oil?

I have seen some folks on Nairaland who argue we should forget building steel plants because according to them, it is cheaper to Import from China.
How do we get to this level of technological development without steel plants?

Brandaniel, I guess your brain is wired to always see the negative in all positive news. You must create your own negative narrative to get "likes" from your Obizombie followers.

I don't understand this Dangote Refinery, Is he importing crude? Thought that he will get crude locally?

This post contains a lot of unnecessary words and phrases that are repeated throughout the text. It would benefit from some editing to make it more concise and clear.

He gets crude locally from Agbami offshore oil field

Now answer this question, if you want to transport a large size of crude from an offshore oil field to Lagos, how would you do it?

So what is your truth brother Brendaniel.

This is the same Aminu,owner of sea transport who owes his crew months of salaries despite working so hard and he is even the president of shippers council!

Most shipping companies in Nigeria are owned by northerners.
The south own the coasts but barely have anything to show.

the northern run past military govt awarded these guys enough dough to run things .
