When you are the president, you cannot give the excuse that you have people against you. As unflattering as this is, it is an admission of incompetence.

The issue of the refineries is beyond trade, we can call it a factor of National security.

There can be no denial that under President Jonathan, there was massive corruption. Corruption here being knowing the right thing and refusing to do it because it favors your friends while the nation suffers and remain stagnant.

The resuscitation of the erstwhile moribound refineries was in progress before Buhari was sworn in as President.

The quoted piece was the situation of the refineries as at the 2nd of May, 2013

As you rightly posited, nothing much is wrong with the refineries, what seem to have improved since Buhari came on board was the reduction in pipelines vandalism, and to a large extent, crude oil theft ...

PRYCE:
Guy Like it or not, Barcanista is a good researcher!

Look, an APC supporter just published an anti-GEJ thread but hardly see insults to his person! Most arguments are issue-based!


I guess the Guy's just a threat to y'all... or y'all still bitter cos he threw away your brooms and embraced the umbrella!

Whynotthetruth:


[b]Sometimes we expose our ignorance by arguing from a point of annoying stupidityyyyy...

1)Jonathan/NNPC ditched foreign company(Saipem or what) recommended to them because of COST...

2)In all they saved the country over $1billion(verifiable fact) by choosing local engineers...Remember, its same Jonathan that implemented local content policy that saw the local engineers display their expertise and ingenuity as evidenced in Bonny, Okrika and other such projects sites of both public and private companies... Same policy led to emergence of FIRST indigenous big player like Seplat now quoted on NSE...

3)TAM already began since October 2014, to last for 18 months approximately...

4)Production will be going on alongside TAM... but with target of hitting 90% by the end of TAM...which is 18months...expectedly this is first quarter of 2016...

5)Jonathan doesn't need to release or approve any fund for NNPC as they according to the NNPC act which Jonathan sort to repeal via PIB(remember he did some changes in the original document); have right to deduct both their capital and recurrent expenditures before remitting balance to federation account...So bills for TAM is already taken care of by them...

6)If Jonathan wanted to loot via this, isn't it right that he go with foreign company than empower local engineers

7)If he's a subsidy beneficiary, it defies logic that he would seek to remove same by 2012...which policy though of national good but politically suicidal gave life to opposition then...It's a fact that biggest beneficiary companies of subsidy like Oando, Con oil etc have Jonathan's staunchest political enemies behind them(Obj...Tinubu etc)

Refineries TAM is to the credit of Jonathan as confirmed by buhari himself...2016 target date is still the target for 90% or optimal output... Nothing changed...

9)So why the hullabaloo?... why this celebration of ignorance and ineptitude?... why do we show crass comprehension skills and display of academic laziness?...why do we justify the unemployment rate by our mode of reasoning?...

Happiness87:
you r a fool, for saying its a miracle, idiot, did the refinery stopped working under Gej's tenure, he goat

Horlufemi:
Commander-in-chief of the Wailing Forces Mr. Barcanista oya prepare counter thread. We are waiting.

why bring tribe into this innocent threat again..u r a rily stuppid man.

midolian:
Nice 1, brother.

Some can argue that GEJ should take the credit for fixing our refineries. Its allowed. They can f00l themselves as much as they want. This is democracy. Its only annoying that these pple will blame Buhari for every ill that befalls Nigeria, regardless of where it stems from..buh when good things happen, they ld luv to refer us to the past.

Adeshina was interviewed yesterday concerning this same issue and here is what he said "There is something called the right atmosphere. I believe that the right atmosphere is responsible for the improvements that you are talking about all over the place". ..Now this is what I feel about the whole issue. When the head is good, the body will definitely function well. Buhari as we all know, is a no-nonsense man. No one dare plays "hanky-panky" games with him. He wld expose and deal with you without hesitation.. And that is why things are working perfectly well under him.

What is happening now shows that during GEJ's regime, we had what it takes to fix the refineries... but instead of doing the needful, the cluelesswicked one saw it as another ample opportunity to scam us(Nigerians)...I am sure if the man had won for a 2nd term, the "dribbling" would have continued. And more billions of dollars would have gone down the drain(to him and his co-horts)..

Buhari's victory is a clear proof of God's love for us.

Bloody lairs... Jonathan fixed the refinaries. . And for your info the target is about 4 million barrels a day.. TAM is a process...

APC fans what policy has buhari given us yet.. none
Then u all say that buhari is to be praised for the refinaries.

Jonathan was rigged out of the office. By the powers that own the country..

JONATHAN was the best thing that happened to nigeria as a president.

His fault was that he was from a minority

PLEASE ALLOW HIM TO REST. he is not in govt but you all still attack him.. I feel that he actually blocked some free cash you were all getting.. he is not in office anymore you can go and revive your ghost workers business and forgive jonathan

Happiness87:
if Pmb debunked claims that he was responsible for the maintenance of the refineries, and you claim Gej is not either, who did it then?

that is a case of corrupt elements in the system, of which Tinubu's oando company is a beneficiary, the marketers can claim that they imported 100millions tonnes and if they can proof it together with bad elements who are our parents, uncles and aunts working in those offices, Fg have to pay them.

Mynd44:


Lets breakdown your links to show you how flawed your links are


http://www.punchng.com/business/business-economy/nigerian-engineers-to-repair-refineries-for-n99bn-nnpc/


http://thenationonlineng.net/nnpc-to-repair-refineries-with-550m/

So according to your own links, the TAM has been happening since October last year and was supposed to last 18 months.

Which means that the refineries will start working by early next year but this is August. Not even up to one year. So do you now believe that the situation of these refineries has not been so bad? They were fixed in 9 months which included elections, strikes and government bureaucracy.

Now that they had been fixed in a time of less than a year, how come this has not been done since? Is it because the friends of the government have been benefitting from the importation and subsidy? I know you wont answer

neocortex:
@Image123

strong analysis is obviously alien to you.
A thousand pages of "facts" is useless without proper interpretation.

The only thing your post attempted to "prove" is that nothing was ever wrong with the
refineries and all the presidents we had starting from OBJ were simply lying and it was
just the "body language" of Buhari that makes the refineries started working without
lifting a finger or spending a dime.

We can also say that nothing was ever wrong with power, roads and education , the past
leaders were simply lying and Nigerians are blind to reality and in
due time these sectors will also start working because of Buhari's body language with no
money spent.
Nigeria must be the first perfect country in the universe where everything works perfectly
automatically as a result of someone's "body language".

Other countries need to borrow Buhari from Nigeria so that their country will become
perfect automatically.

It is instructive that all your "research" were filled with "planned to" nothing like "contract signed",
"work begins" , that says a lot about your selective
'fact finding".

You surely don't need the cheap internet to determine the difference between black and white , do you ?

anonimi:



The newspapers quoted by your friend said NOTHING about money being 'budgeted' for refineries TAM.

You should also ask yourself why the APC-held HoR and substantial numbers in the senate would keep approving YOUR phantom budget if the refineries TAM was not happening despite their oversight functions and N27 million paycheck

You should realise we are not all under the bewitching, hypnotising spell of APC juju.

Did you read the part where Deziani said that 32% of materials needed for the repairs of the refineries have been purchased?

Image123:
In this age of cheap internet, free access to google and other search engines, with online news media. It is unfortunate that many are attempting to twist and turn VERY RECENT History in everyone's face. i will like to use this thread to remind us with verifiable links what obtained in the GEJ administration as regards our oil refineries. In a nutshell(for those who don't want to read long post), the past administration/government lacked progressive direction as regards the refineries. The below facts are things everyone knows even though some choose to forget.

---

As at November 23, 2012, the news was "Refineries’ turnaround maintenance to start first quarter 2013"

Below are some excerpts from the news report, all are free to read the full report from the link given.

---

The next month of that same year, December 15, 2012. The story developed k-leg. The headline was "[url=http://www.punchng.com/news/fg-drops-planned-refinery-projects-%E2%80%A2jonathan-must-tackle-fuel-subsidy-corruption-labour/]FG drops planned refinery projects •Jonathan must tackle fuel subsidy corruption–Labour[/url]"

Here are some excerpts from the report.


The above quotes would have been funny if they were not utterly pathetic. It was all mouth, no action.

---

Ten days later, Christmas day, it was still discordant tunes as regards refining crude oil in Nigeria.
December 25, 2012, News headlines read "NNPC plans to repair three refineries with N152bn"
Some excerpts from the report are in the quote below.


Don't hiss just yet, the drama continues one year later.

November 28, 2013, the story had not improved in any way. The headline was "FG completes negotiations for Port Harcourt refinery"
Some excerpts from the reports are in the quote below.



It'leaves much to be desired when less than a year before, billions of naira were said to be approved and paid for maintenance, and we were expected to have billions of litres of products in 2013. But by November 2013, they were finally completed on selling the refinery without any so called 18.64 billion litres of products derived from local refining.

Enter last year, January 3, 2014. The news had it that "Jonathan hasn’t approved sale of refineries, says Abati" Don't get dizzy by the ding-dong, fasten your seat belts and read some excerpts from the report in the quote below.



So, did anything concrete or progressive happen all through last year as regards our four refineries? [size=13pt]NO[/size]. You can be sure, it would have being in the TRANSFORMATION campaigns. By the ending of the year, last year, our refineries were still hopeless despite all the billions of naira spent on TAM and all the failed promises.
November 24, 2014, News was "Oil slump: Nigeria’s crude refining to drop further" Our REFINING dropped further, the GEJ government did not sell them or produce anything tangible for the benefit of the country.
Some excerpts from the news report are in the quote below.


Quite a grim report, the unpatriotic acts and deliberate sabotage in the past government was unchecked. Did elections, campaigns and a new year improve anything during the GEJ administration? NO

This year 2015. March 3, 2015. This was ELECTIONS month, if the GEJ administration had any hope as regards our 4 refineries, any sort of joker, or light at the end of the tunnel, this was the time they would have presented it. GEJ would have gone to commission it, but even the very tunnel was taken away as soon as there was ever hope of light at the end of the tunnel. The news reads "Lack of support by labour stalls refineries’ sale"
To sell or to repair, to sell or to repair, to sell or to repair, March 3, mini mini mani mo. Well, some of the excerpts from the report are in the quote below.



The past FG wanted so badly to sell the refineries but for pressure from the labour people, and to avoid POLITICAL instability. Elections were coming and they didn't want any Occupy NNPC or whatever similar thing that might have disturbed them politically. It is therefore unfair and even criminal for anyone to commend the past administration for the current and sudden progress, development and production being experienced at the Nation's four refineries.
Finally, to the more recent and popular news about 2016 and the refineries. Any serious person as at that date knows this was yet another unserious promise. March 5, 2015, news headlines said "Refineries will produce 400,000bpd in 2016 – NNPC"

Excerpts from the reports below.


Here we are, its the beginning of August and the reports are that our refineries have started to work. Thanks to former President Jonathan? Really? Reality clearly shows he didn't even have an idea or clue.
