ABIKE DABIRI WRITES:
ReplyDelete"1.Saudi Arabia with a population of 26m
has 16 functional refineries, to
commission another 2 of 400k barrel each
per day capacity in 2016.
2. The U.S State of California alone has
26, Texas has 19 refineries
3. While Singapore with a population of
5.6million people has 3 refineries with
combine refining
capacity 1.3m bp/d
4. Nigeria has 3 or 4 (non functional
refineries) built in the 70s & early
80s...now obsolete...16 years of oil
boom we didn't add even ONE.
5. When you don't invest in our
downstream sector, but handed out
importation licenses to cronies & acolytes.
Today we are paying the price.
6. We are paying the price of our past
profligacy, irresponsibility in governance
and blind leadership.
8. Egbin power plant was valued at $1.2
billion a German electricity company bid
but GEJ sold is to Sahara energy at
$470m.
9. Sahara had no previous antecedents on
power plant aside importation of petrol
but we handed them our LARGEST
thermal plant.
10. Easier to cry today but whatever
problems we see today was created
yesterday with the active connivance of
all of us...
11. Active connivance in the sense that
we all kept quiet & looked away... Our
day just dey break?
12. I am not exonerating the FG of
blame, but laying the facts as they are...
While you have the right to be angry, pls
be angry with sense.
13. Change will come but it will not come
overnight... A lot of mess was made
either out of omission or commission,
change will take a while,
14. I am laying these facts out and I
challenge anybody with contrary facts to
bring it.
15. I am doing this bcos I feel the pain
and agony we are going thru and I feel
the collective hurt but we must
understand why we are here.
16. I pray that the present FG will have
the courage and conviction to right so
many of the ills of the past. Our future
depends on it.
17. May Nigeria be great again & may our
collective suffering spur us to a greater
sense of true nationhood. Nigeria shall
rise again!!!"
All these were said 20 years ago and will be repeated 2036. Nigeria is genetically flawed. Cannot be fixed. The insane entity called Nigeria is doomed forever. I pity Buhari. Good man in a bad place.
ReplyDeleteDestroyed Prince I concur with you. Even at that we should see some made attempt from Buhari and his ministers. Yes the deed is done. He should forge ahead and let Nigerians see what plans he has in his sleeve. Oil price has fallen. What his he doing to generate fund from other mineral resources in the country. We import basically every thing we consume. What plans does he have in place to boost agriculture and help farmers. No electricity. What is Fashola doing to give adequate electricity to help young entrepreneurs and help boost locally made good. To make things happen in a society you don't jump to the top. Instead you start work underground and give the citizens hope that you are working and things will be fine. No electricity yet tarriff was increased. Is that a good move? Agricultural sector is decaying and you are putting a ban on some food importation. Is that the change we want to see? You put things in place and make some of these sectors working before you start attacking importation. Buhari leadership for me is like a round peg is a square hole. They should think very well before they act.
