“We launched the refinery in 2013, and for five years we had issues with the land. Everything was being blocked by the oil mafia. We had to build our own port because no port in the country could handle the heavy equipment. We also had to build a harbour, roads, and a water system with a capacity of 440 million litres. Our water facility alone covers more than 30 hectares.”

BIG ENERGY:
I am pleased to announce that NNPC Limited has successfully completed the River Niger crossing of the OB3 Gas Pipeline.
Executed 2km beneath the riverbed using advanced HDD technology, this milestone unlocks a transport capacity of 2 billion scf/day—strengthening Nigeria’s energy security, power generation, and industrial growth. It also builds on our AKK crossing success and reflects disciplined execution, innovative engineering, and the unwavering commitment of our team and partner, PCE Nig. Limited.
I thank Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for his Gas-to-Prosperity agenda, our Board under Chairman Ahmadu Musa Kida, the host communities, and the resilient team at NGIC for their steadfast support and commitment.
The OB3 Pipeline links East to West and connects to the Northern corridor via the AKK Pipeline, unlocking over 500 million scf/day of domestic gas. The AKK will supply power plants, fertiliser, manufacturing, and new industries across Kaduna, Kano, and beyond, driving job creation, economic diversification, energy access, and West African exports.

I knew Maresca was a genius, but now he’s gone, I’ve realised just how much of a genius he actually is
He turned these BUMS into World Champions. Battered the likes of PSG & Barcelona etc and all he asked in return was ONE centre back — STILL can’t believe it…
Paulina by Ebenezer Obey, released in the 1960s, is one of the most iconic Nigerian love songs.
It has featured in different love scenes of old Nigerian movies and even new ones for a vintage vibe

Arrant psychophancy 🤣
"Tinubu is your grandfather", chai!
Now this dung is a governor in Kogi State. Nigeria we hail thee!!
Listening to this irritant hurts my ears.
Atiku Abubakar is the single biggest reason Nigeria is trapped in this APC nightmare.
In 2014, he betrayed the PDP, jumped ship to the APC, and threw his full weight behind Muhammadu Buhari bcos according to him GEJ should not contest because it was “the turn of the North.” That gamble birthed the disaster called APC.
Fast-forward to 2019, the PDP, honoring its constitution, zoned its ticket to the North, and Atiku gladly collected it and lost.
But by 2023, after the North had completed its full 8 yrs, Atiku shamelessly shredded the very principle he once preached, and insisted on contesting again against every logic of rotation and fairness. That singular act of desperation did not just fracture the PDP, it handed Bola Tinubu the presidency on a platter of gold.
The aftermath of that reckless decision was a broken PDP, a divided opposition, and Nigeria stuck in the jaws of APC’s misrule.
And now, instead of stepping aside for a Southern candidate in 2027, Atiku is once again scheming, obsessed with his own greed & ambition above rescuing Nigeria from APC.
History will never forget that Atiku’s reckless ambition is the root cause of PDP’s collapse and the reason APC still holds Nigeria hostage.
