Dangote’s refinery was built to handle 650,000 barrels a day. It just processed 700,000.
That makes it the largest single-train refinery in the world.
And they’re not stopping. The plan is to push it to 1.4 million barrels a day within the next 30 months.
It’s already selling petrol to America. Jet fuel to Saudi Arabia. Refined products to the UK, France, Spain, Italy and the Netherlands.
A few years ago we couldn’t refine our own crude. Now the world is buying from us.
During my NYSC last year in Adamawa State, our CDS group visited a prison.
Till today, I genuinely don’t think I’ve recovered from what I saw there.
We went there with good intentions. We carried detergents, food items and other little things we thought would help them. The plan was simple talk to the inmates, encourage them, advise them and remind them that life could still change for the better.
The moment we entered the prison compound, the atmosphere changed completely.
One of the officers told us to drop all our phones inside a small office before going further. At first I didn’t think much of it, but the moment that door closed behind us, I started feeling uncomfortable. The silence inside that place was not normal.
As we approached, the officers ordered them to come out and sit on the floor for us. Around 70 of them slowly walked out and sat quietly without making noise.
Most of them were very young. Maybe around 21 to 28 years old. Boys that looked like they should still be in school or hustling outside trying to survive life.
But what shocked me first was their appearance.
Almost all of them looked extremely skinny. Their hair was completely barbed low to the point where you could clearly see the shape of their skulls. Not normal skinny… the kind that makes you uncomfortable when you look too long.
Then I noticed an old man sitting among them.
who sweep roads turned out for Gov. Mutty during primaries.
Left to me, twitter supporters are infinitesimal to determine ones success in Plateau politics. Have a good relationship with the watchdogs and locals.
Emphasis on "GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH THE WATCHDOGS AND LOCALS".
From my own logical analysis, twitter noise has less effect in Plateau State's politics. Most of the voters aren't active here on Twitter. If I'm a politician, I'll blend more with locals and do what they'll benefit from directly. Just look at how market women and our mothers...
Let me tell some politicians on the Jos twitter timeline something,
if you really want to contest or build a serious political movement, be careful who you surround yourself with
There are certain people on Jos Twitter with so many scandals and credibility issues that nobody even takes them serious The moment they become your loudest supporters or “media team,” people automatically start questioning your judgment too.
Politics is not just about noise and dragging opponents online. Reputation matters. The people speaking for you can either strengthen your image or completely destroy it before the campaign even starts.
Selah!!
