Lagos is just like Barcelona of Ronaldinho and Messi time, even a local coach will do well, being a Governor of Lagos state makes u look like a super governor, Lagos have everything in place, the fund, the elite and well manner culture...just do right and everything fall in place... Nigeria is a complex country where tribe interests must be protected...So u have to be very smart like. OBJ to rule this country....Tinubu never saw this coming....First error was removing subsidy without precaution......This subsidy of a tin since the time of Gowon every president that comes will dodge it ...u supposed reason am, u never entre office u remove subsidy....there is hunger in the country.......

Omo, the fuel scarcity is really annoying and time consuming....

This country is really cursed...


How can you have natural oil yet you can't power your house or have enough gas to drive around....

How can you be surrounded with rivers and you can't build dams to have constant energy?

How can you have a population of 200m, enough create massive tax and generate revenue, yet the country is without good roads....


This country doesn't deserve a peaceful protest, but a brutal protest that should claim these politician's lives....

The suffering is enough... These people begged for good governance in 2012, Nigerians gave them power in 2015 and till date, they're still clueless....

Note: I advocated for state protest and not centered protest where damages will mainly affect properties and not the politicians.
the idea of FG is to keep majority of Nigerians in filling station so that majority of Nigerians will not be able to participate in the coming protest.

This is for those who have the time and patient to read. But if you want to understand the situation of things in Nigeria, fuel price increase and the attendant hardship, read this👇

Copied....


When I saw the Malta 🇲🇹 TV NNPC comment by Dangote, I suspected there was more to it. Our group decided to investigate further.

Our discovery was deeply shocking.

Thread !

Firstly I will breakdown the whole Oil theft process and how Oil exporting and importing business works here in Nigeria .
NNPC grants importation licenses to a select group of oil companies, which are responsible for importing petroleum products into the country. These companies set the prices for petroleum products, and the media often refer to them as "oil marketers."

We’ve another set responsible for exporting/selling unrefined petroleum products both locally nd internationally. NNPC nd few partner companies plays a major role in this sector, along with high-ranking govt officials, military leaders, & politicians who r involved in oil theft.

To better understand this thread i will briefly explain how oil exportation and importation works in Nigeria.
Please note every point I will list you will need them as reference as we progress, very important

1. Extraction: Oil is extracted from the ground using drilling rigs.

2. Processing: The crude oil is exported(internationally) to refineries where it is processed into refined products

3. Transportation: The processed oil are transported from the refinery to storage tanks, blending facilities, and ports, typically via pipelines or ships.
4. Export: At the port, the oil is loaded onto tankers or other vessels and shipped to Nigeria and other countries
5. Sale: The oil is sold to buyers in Nigeria at a price set by the importer (oil marketer). The government subsidizes a significant portion of the oil price to make it more affordable for citizens, a practice known as fuel subsidy.
Now let’s link the list together

Recently, Oando PLC announced the approval to acquire 100% of Nigerian Agip Oil Company. This effectively means that the Tinubu family now owns Agip Oil, which is part of Eni S.p.A., an Italian multinational oil and gas company.

Agip Oil operates 17 onshore oil blocks and produces 11 million barrels of oil and condensates annually, and it also manages the Bonny natural gas liquefaction plant. One might wonder why such a successful company would divest 100% of such a critical asset.

Observing similar situations, like the case with Dangote, suggests that this sale was not made lightly. Now, these crucial oil fields and plants in Nigeria are under the control of Tinubu through Oando PLC which is Tinubu’s family owned not even NNPC.

Stay with me please

Continuing, with their control over substantial oil reserves in the Niger Delta and the ability to explore further through Agip Oil, their next step is refining. Instead of building a refinery in Nigeria, they opted to construct one in Malta 🇲🇹.

This move allows them to exploit the country's resources and obscure their activities.

In early 2021, Enemed Co Ltd, the leading fuel supplier in Malta, issued a tender for the leasing of storage tanks and a blending facility at the Ras Hanzir Oil Terminal in Malta.

Ras Hanzir Oil Terminal Limited won the bidding. It is owned and operated by the Tinubu family, with Wale Tinubu, who is also the chairman of Oando PLC, serving as its chairman along with other members of the Tinubu family and their associates.

The company has already established a functioning refinery in Malta, they have now acquired the storage tanks and blending facility oil terminals, which were recently exposed to the public.

Stay with me please

After Tinubu was sworn in as president, his first major move was to announce the removal of fuel subsidy, while the government continued to pay in secret, allowing him to increase petroleum product prices. This move was designed to benefit his own monopoly.

With the recent forced acquisition of Agip Oil by Oando PLC, Tinubu as an individual has become the largest oil exporter, explorer, and marketer in the whole country, second only to NNPC.
Here’s the pattern: Tinubu, through NNPC, will sell Nigeria’s oil to himself at a low price via his company in Malta. He will also explore, extract and export oil using his newly acquired Agip Oil Company, which operates across the Niger Delta states of Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa,
I’mRivers, Imo, Abia, Akwa Ibom, and Cross River.

Tinubu will then buy back the refined oil from his company in Malta through NNPC and as an oil marketer via one of his companies OVH Energy(Oando) at a higher price and export them back to Nigeria
The refined oil is sold to the Nigerian public at a high price, while the subsidy, although officially removed, is still being paid secretly. Essentially, Tinubu is paying himself subsidy.‼️

This scheme an extraordinary level of financial exploitation

Even after he leaves office, and Nigeria remains without refinery which he will make sure of, his Oil Monopoly over the country will remain standing. As if that is not enough, the govt will still pay him for subsidy!

He sold Over 2 Billion Dollars worth of petroleum products to Nigeria through the Malta refinery just in 2023 alone, that’s an example of what the future of Nigeria Oil importation will look like

That’s why he will fight the Dangote refinery with everything he has; if it becomes operational, his multi-trillion-naira oil monopoly enterprise will collapse.

The price of petroleum products like fuel will keeping increasing, while he still pays himself subsidy.

Considering his age, one might wonder what he needs all this money for, other than sheer greed. It's truly disheartening.

Bobloco:
When Tinubu made that thoughtless "subsidy is gone" statement right on his swearing-in podium, sane Nigerians warned that the Tinubu regime would turned out the worst regime in the history of this country.

But his supporters would call those sane Nigerians bitter losers and other derogatory names. They said that Tinubu made a bold decision and very soon Nigerians would reap its benefits. We were told a whole lot of lies one of which is that money will be saved from subsidy removal, and our refinery will begin to work—in fact, they gave some deadlines. And the deadlines kept shifting as time went by.

One year after the removal of fuel subsidies, Nigerians are yet to be told how much has been saved so far—the money saved so far what is being used for. 

One year after removing subsidies, our refineries are yet to refine a drop of fuel. 

One year after removing subsidies, the price of fuel kept increasing with its attendant scarcity, leading to an increase in the prices of goods and services. 

Right now, Tinubu have run out of excuses and is now asking to be given some more time.

Of course, more time to continue to dish out calamitous economic policies that will continue to improverish the people.

It shall never be well with those who worked, supported, and encouraged this calamitous Tinubu regime.
