And they schemed, and Allah schemed, and Allah is the best of schemers.

[Mr. El-Bonga @el_bonga]

They will increase the prices of good A from N1,000 to N8,000. And when it later reduced to N6,000, they’ll shout and eulogise that reduction and expect the masses to still appreciate that “reduction” even though they’re initially paying far less just a few years.

The question many fail to realise is this: Why increase it in the first place?

[Sarki. @Waspapping_]

Honourable Isa Ali Pantami acquired most of his properties in Abuja during his time as DG of NITDA and after he became a minister.

What exactly makes you think we don’t have the right to ask questions about the source of that wealth?

Being a scholar doesn’t make anyone above scrutiny or accountability.

You can be a scholar and still be corrupt. Religious knowledge does not automatically make a person incapable of corruption.

[Abduljalal Musa Aliyu @AbduljalaalMusa]

Pantami didn’t own a house in Abuja before he was appointed minister; he said so himself. In fact, he didn’t even have the money to buy a house in Abuja before he became the DG of NITDA.

His career trajectory is fairly straightforward. Before his appointment as DG, there was no job or position he held, either in Nigeria or abroad, that suggests he had the financial capacity to buy a house, let alone multiple houses, in Abuja.

That said, this is ultimately none of my business. I’m sure he declared his assets with the CCB, and like anyone else, he remains innocent of the corruption allegations against him until proven guilty.

What you should stop doing, however, is pretending Pantami was already wealthy before Buhari’s eight years in office. He wasn’t.

The people from the south often talk about development as if they are living in some Eldorado that is entirely different from everywhere else. The SW people in particular are the loudest. I have been to many Nigerian states and I can confirm that Ekiti is the poorest. Lagos is a trillion Naira economy that doesn't even have good drainage systems. Nobody should bamboozle anybody in Nigeria. The rot and dysfunction is everywhere. The quality of life is abysmal for everyone except politicians and very high income earners.

Ajiya !

[Abdulsalam M. Nuhu @salamnuhu]

I honestly don't understand why Nigerians—especially northern Nigerians—hype this man. What has he accomplished, what's his track record, what is the mystery around him that you people so much want him?

[Asiya nomad 👑 @AsiyaRodrigo]

Of course not. But why is it a black and white issue where one must cancel out the other? Unlike your objection to my mentioning my seeing many non-Muslims eating freely, I even mentioned in my comment that there are some ignorant people who do things out of their personal opinion but that doesn't mean it is the law. Once in Abuja, I was told by some Muslim men I can't enter their mosque as a woman. They were not used to it so felt confronted, but I challenged them to bring evidence that it is not allowed. Of course, I had my counter arguments ready for them as I knew they were just imposing their wishes rather than any real religious mandate. The real enemies in the North are ignorance, no longer practical cultural mores, and hypocrisy. But you know, I am really tired of Nigerian tribal and other wars. Please leave me out of it and carry on attacking each other while those who just pretend to be religious and defending the persecuted laugh all the way to their offshore accounts. I'm on Christmas duties today and want to get back to it.

[Asiya nomad 👑 @AsiyaRodrigo]

I lived in the North for a total of around 15 years in 3 different states including Kano. Not just did I personally order food and eat, as a female, who doesn't need to fast during menses, I also saw non-Muslims eating. As someone who was very busy, I always ordered food as I didn't have the time to cook. And there was certainly always food being prepared somewhere that one could order from. Some choose not to eat in front of Muslims and others don't open their food shops until later in the day. You may find a few ignorant ones saying it isn't good for people to eat in front of fasting people but this is their personal opinion and not reflective of the majority who are well aware that even some Muslims cannot fast during Ramadan. There will always be people who present a few occurrences of extreme behaviour to be the norm. I was robbed at gunpoint when I first landed in Lagos and know of many other foreigners who were kidnapped at gunpoint in the South and required their embassies to pay huge ransoms, but it isn't newsworthy these days and we won't make it out like violence is the norm there.

[Amimi❤️ @Dr_Meenerh]

Since Tinubu became president, there has been a calculated attempt to create a rift between Northern Muslims and Yoruba Muslims.

SEEING IS BELIEVING- PH REFINERY

Today, I was opportune to visit Port Harcourt Refinery to have firsthand experience on the operations of the refinery which commenced operation last month after about 3 years of intensive rehabilitation exercise. 

1. The Refinery is a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, @nnpclimited and is located in Alesa-Eleme, few miles from Port Harcourt, Rivers State. The petrochemical complex consists of 2 different refineries, the Old PH Refinery, commissioned in 1965 with a nameplate capacity of 60,000 barrels per stream day (bpsd) and the New PH Refinery, commissioned in 1989 with a nameplate capacity of 150,000 bpsd bringing the combined capacity to 210,000 bpsd. 

2. After years of underperformance due to operational challenges and inadequate maintenance, NNPCL, under the able leadership of the GCEO, Mele Kyari, @MKKyari, initiated a comprehensive rehabilitation of the refineries in 2021. This effort resulted in the successful restart of the 60,000-bpsd hydroskimming refinery on November 22nd, 2024. As of November 26, 2024, the refinery was operating at 70% of its nameplate capacity, producing premium motor spirit (PMS), automotive gas oil (AGO), household kerosene (HHK), low-pour fuel oil and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). 

3. We were taken round the entire facility and I was excited about this particular rehabilitation project because almost all the pumps, instruments, valves, cables, flow meters, pipes, control equipment, tubes and cases have been completely replaced making almost brand new facility unlike ordinary rehabilitation projects where just few things are replaced.

4. The refinery currently produces the following daily outputs:

PMS- 1.4m liters
Kerosene: 900,000 liters
AGO or Diesel-1.5m liters
Low Pour Fuel Oil (LPFO): 2.1m liters

Loading was ongoing with about 5 of the loading gantries actively loading due to the upcoming holiday.

5. We also seized the opportunity to go round and see the ongoing rehabilitation of the New Refinery (150,000 bpsd) which is about to be completed with more than 90% of the major work completed. 

6. The revival of this refinery is one of the best things that happened to Nigerians because it has brought about competition in the market which impacted significantly on the price. The price today is N935/L nationwide for Dangote Refinery product and even N925 in some cases for NNPCL product. This is a direct benefit to hardworking Nigerians who are only interested in powering their activities with scarce resources. 

7. History will be kind to Buhari who initiated the project, President Bola Tinubu who ensured continuity and completion and also the NNPCL under the able leadership of Mele Kyari for their huge contribution to energy security and nation building. 

8. Thanks to the team of Engineers onsite for the warm reception and education.

9. God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬

[Dr Joe Abah, OON @DrJoeAbah]

Fair enough. I agree that it should be made public and that, where appropriate, the measures should even include ratings by the public. A Minister could be doing well but be communicating poorly. That in itself is something to improve upon.

Having said that, people are not stupid. If there is light, everyone will know there’s light. If there’s food security, everyone will feel it. If there’s safety and security, everyone will know it. The people’s experience of their government is the ultimate measure. Nobody needs fancy performance measures to do that rating.

[Hamma @HAHayatu]

University of Maiduguri is about to go totally off-grid with the completion of its 12 megawatts solar hybrid power station.

The power project funded by the world bank should be a model to all institutions and even states especially in the north with abundant sunlight

Kudos

Even by Nigerian standards this is just insane. And for millions of Nigerians, this oppression and inconvenience is the *only* contact they’ll ever have with their leaders
