Drilling and exploration is damn expensive. In this period where almost all the IOC are looking to diversify their portfolio and move to offshore and alternative source of energy, nobody is going to put that much money into onshore exploration that is damn expensive.

They should at least stop oil bunkering first, let us reach optimal production of the one we are exploring. Oil price has been stable in the international market for at $75 for some time now but almost all the money we should get from our own share of oil production has been pledged away in one loan or the other.

BlueRayDick:


The difficult terrain of the Niger Delta makes it almost impossible to stop bunkering . Even with the combination of Tompolo’s Tatiana and Nigerian Military , it’s quite difficult to police our oil facilities adequately .

Also , corruption and the level of injustice we have in this country makes it difficult to stop people from engaging in bunkering . There’s a general perception in the Niger delta that the Niger Delta oil is being used to fund the lifestyle of elite in different parts of the country . Like a Niger Deltan feels it’s unfair Nigerians from other parts of the coubtry get to one oil blocks , live large while their own region where the oil is being explored is left in a bad shape.

I believe that’s what pushed some people into bunkering . The fact that the security agencies charged with safeguarding those pipelines are equally corrupt is a major issue . Naval personnel posted for security operations in the Niger Delta are automatically seen as potential millionaires just like customs assigned to border patrol duties .

While u are right that IOC’s are moving to cleaner source of energy , I believe if the price is right some Asian investors will still be willing to invest in drilling and exploration of our untapped crude

The price of transport is ridiculous. from my place to Ikorodu garage that was 200 naira before subsidy removal is now 600. from Garage to Ketu that we used to enter 400 or at worse 500 is now 1k. The more the cost of transportation keep soaring, the more food prices keep soaring.

Even the minimum wage they increase. they haven't starting paying yet and baba dey go vacation. I saw the disaster of this fuel subsidy removal coming but i never think it will be this worse all caused by Tinubu lack of solid implementation of whatever plan he has (if he has any).

And it seems we are just starting sef.

Make them just sell this country for Alibaba make them lock gate. make everybody find their square root.

larride:
Dangote that was jumping from one TV station to another and releasing press release everyday, how far now. They announced oil sale to him in Naira and they increased the price of fuel again. Shey Dangote told us that his fuel is cheaper than the one they were importing.

Na thunder go fire Dangote for deceiving Nigerians and double thunder fire Kyari for promising the start of PH refinery every 3 months with no result in sight. Triple thunder fire Tinubu for not sacking Kyari since.

Nonsense.

BlueRayDick:


You are one of the few people who was objective enough to acknowledge that the haphazard subsidy removal was disaster waiting to happen.

Nowadays, grown up adults literally lap themselves in public transport just to save cost due to the high cost of transportation . Food prices keep soaring , electricity is expensive , fuel is expensive ; SMEs are literally dying off .

How do u even advise a young school leaver not to venture into Yahoo-Yahoo? Artisans are being seeing any job to do. Mechanics don’t get to repair vehicles like they used to because people have stopped using their cars as much as they used to( Most people use their cars lightly on weekends ). Artisans like electricians , aluminum window guys , bricklayers , etc are hardly getting jobs because nowadays people are hardly spending money on building projects.

People are spending majority part of their income on feeding and transportation now. It’s looking like we are in a dark place and the current leadership don’t know what to do to bring on the light other than to just keep promising false hope of “Tomorrow go better “

BlueRayDick:

Who will buy a country where we have armed bandits , Boko haram terrorists , unknown gunmen, etc ?

The person go buy trouble

BlueRayDick:


Dangote really carried a lot of Nigerians handicap , although I have never believed his entrant into the oil and gas market will change our oil industry woes .

At best , Dangote’s refinery will generate income for the federal government in terms of remittances as a business entity ; but definitely not going to do the common man much favors . If u are lucky enough to be qualified and get a job as an employee there , good for u. Dangote will never sell cheap fuel except he gets subsidized by the FG.

I think one major thing should be clear by now ; subsidy was never the issue . What is called “subsidy scam” was obviously the brain child of NNPC management , unscrupulous marketers only keyed into it. The fact that NNPC has refused to be transparent up till this moment definitely suggests they were the ones behind all those inflation of subsidy figures. Na dem Dey run am , oil marketers/importers just joined them in chopping the largesse .

Just look at NNPC buying from Dangote , refusing to sell to IPMAN at reasonable price but want to add their own profit margin despite doing absolutely nothing. Later when it’s time to account for all the funds and remit to federation account na stories go follow . House of assembly will do hearing and all, but that’s where it stops.

larride:


Na those wey dey trust Dangote i dey laugh. ( OasisX suppose dey front row dey collect cane ) Dangote will always prioritize his profit margin over anything. The only good thing about the refinery is that we will finally be able to know our daily fuel consumption as a nation as Dangote has implemented a metering system to track their deliveries.

Tbh i don't know why Kyari is still NNPCL GCEO. The failure to even get the PH refinery working after like 5 different announcement is enough for sack not to talk of the corruption in that organization.

Your last paragraph, i thought i read it few days ago that Dangote refinery is free to sell fuel to any marketer that want to buy, NNPC is no longer the sole buyer from Dangote. Let the IPMAN go and deal with Dangote directly.

DeadPresidents:


What the dubious mumu conveniently slid under the shelf when making that tweet is the simple fact that Germans pretty much don’t use bikes as the first option for transportation—they got trains for that (surface, high-speed and underground)

Removing fuel subsidy when public transportation infrastructure is narcoleptic is insane.

Its crazy mehn. every single thing is expensive, nothing is left out. To buy something to eat now na war. You no even fit say you dey hungry make you quickly enter buka chop again because things are expensive, i can't even blame them, na wetin them buy them go sell.

I've never been angry and disappointed in a politician as i am of Tinubu. the pontification that subsidy removal is bla bla bla and hope is bla bla bla just dey annoy me anytime i hear ham. Ok fine you've removed subsidy, is the common sense thing to do not to speed up whatever plan they have to rejig the economy? The only good thing i have seen this government do is the school loan. Every other thing is rice and rice as if rice is the only problem we have in the country.

I expected him to have sack most of his cabinet members by now. Carry incompetent people full almost all the ministry, apart from maybe the minister of interior, foreign affairs and health, the rest i no know wetin them dey do. Even Wale Edun has been overwhelming as Finance Minister and Coordinating Minister of the economy. Maybe they need to bring someone else in or another person to support him.

Those of us out of jobs na only through God we dey survive, those that are employed sef are loosing their jobs at an alarming rate as business close down. If say i no vote for Tinubu, he for no dey pain me the way it's paining me. Na shame no dey make me come here frequently again sef.

Forget the insult part , this guy raised a very valid question.

Since CNG as a fuel is cheap worldwide , why are car manufacturers not mass producing it ?

Even as India large population big reach , 13% of the vehicles sold in 2023 are CNG powered .

Baba no need for shame......

Men that openly says the truth irrespective of their prior stances are the real men...

I knew Tinubu would be bad but I never for once expected it to be this devilish. ....I rarely posts cos na so so anger full my belle whenever I see small "hope" n "tunnel" prophecies......

Your pain isn't exclusively urs,it is almost everyone.....


Things are extremely worse and I am in awe how Nigerians are maneuvering..

Remi want us to work harder.....like wtf.

Segedinho:

I read it is not really ideal for a longer distance.. .

BlueRayDick:


Omo! Just look at the way they casually call Nigerian citizens lazy 😲

Buhari called Nigerian youths lazy and Remi Tinubu is doing same . People are getting poorer due to their government’s policy and all they can do is imply that the people are not hardworking enough .

Na wa o. Well, I don’t blame her though I blame the people who saw shege under Buhari and still went ahead to pass Remi’s husband the baton to impose renewed shege on us all

Segedinho:

Tinubu..Remi n other top politicians don't really have problems tbvh.

Their mercenaries/footsoldiers chief security defenders and people ready to sacrifice their life for tribe sake and the real deal

GloriousGbola:


this may not be a proper analogy

my generator was 4 years old. when i put it on lpg, it was burning oil, and a cylinder would not last 10 hours. now with a new engine, it is not burning oil and a cylinder is going for like 18 hours plus.

i suspect the real issue is that so many cars have already been fked by mechanics with multiple tolerances adjusted. the conventional wisdom was change your car every 4 years, not because of age per se, but because the more mecanic touch am, the more fked the engine is. that may be the root issue, tweaking an already fked car engine
