  1. You really can’t turn off the studio microphones while this guy gives his report??? You have people sniffing riding and moving around in the studio. It’s not a problem. But the problem is, we can hear them.!!!

  2. Rufai should go act a movie. He knows all the problems, doesn't appreciate all the solutions been put in place. Yet he drove on the BRT lane. I wish he was jailed for good example to others. He is playing to the galary and has long departed from journalism. Rubbish guy.

  3. You analysts are too stupid, when things are bad, you are going to rely on the dollar which is paper and can be burned, and the government which owns the paper is 35 trillion in debt, they moral standing is so low, and you still want to trust in that country and their religion shame.

  4. Saudi Arabia's national oil company, Saudi Aramco, is thriving, with massive profits and a strong track record of success. In contrast, Nigeria's national oil company, NNPC, is struggling to survive and seeking loans. A comparison between the two companies highlights the stark differences:

    Saudi Aramco:

    – World's largest oil producer and exporter
    – Net income: $88.2 billion (2020)
    – Reserves: 268.4 billion barrels of oil and 302.3 trillion cubic feet of natural gas
    – Production capacity: 12.4 million barrels per day
    – Diversified operations: exploration, production, refining, petrochemicals, and marketing

    NNPC:

    – Africa's largest oil producer
    – Net income: -$1.7 billion (2020)
    – Reserves: 37.2 billion barrels of oil and 187.4 trillion cubic feet of natural gas
    – Production capacity: 1.9 million barrels per day
    – Challenges: corruption, mismanagement, and underinvestment

    The key differences between the two companies are:

    – Financial performance: Saudi Aramco is highly profitable, while NNPC has struggled with losses.
    – Reserves and production: Saudi Aramco has significantly larger reserves and production capacity.
    – Diversification: Saudi Aramco has a broader range of operations, including refining and petrochemicals.
    – Governance: Saudi Aramco is widely seen as a well-managed and transparent company, while NNPC has faced criticism for corruption and mismanagement.

    Nigeria's problems are numerous, but the most egregious is self-inflicted. A notable example is the sabotage of a Nigerian individual's efforts to build an ultramodern refinery to end petroleum product importation. Government officers prioritized foreign interests over national progress, a clear case of treason. Those responsible should be held accountable and tried for their betrayal.

    May God save Nigeria from its wicked leaders.

  5. When feedstock supply is not guaranteed, it poses serious risk to objectives.

    I have been thinking: was this risk not captured ab nitio before the project was even started? How did the financiers not see this key risk? Was a mere verbal assurance from the government sufficient to discount such risk, considering the unpredictability associated with the statements and policies of governments in Africa. This unpredictability is even aggravated when power changes hands. If promoters of a business are not in the good books of succeeding government(s), their stakes in businesses could be torpedoed.

    It is sad that the Nigerian government is bent on destroying its own. So sad.
