PDP is really blowing out APC in Osun West (Adeleke’s base)while seemingly splitting Osun East (Omisore’s base) and Osun Central (Oyetola’s base). Not looking good for APC so far. Note: Osun West has the lowest registered voters & PVC collection.

Still amazes me that a lot of people still don’t know the difference between Nigerian federation revenue (ie FG+SG+LG) and FG independent revenue. The N318.5 bln is FG independent revenue. Also, the N2.691 trln is FG independent revenue for the whole year not for Q1.

Just finished reading this judgement. I agree with the judge’s ruling. NYSC was completely wrong here. Both sides agreed that Mbah started his NYSC in 2001, did 6 months & then requested for a 1 yr deferment which was granted in 2002. After 1 yr, he was granted reinstatement.

Everyone is talking about the “proper price” of petrol (PMS) given the high oil price. Here is a SIMPLE formula to determine the minimum cost of a liter of PMS. Naira/liter = NairaEx Rate * (Crude Oil Price + 60)/160 NB: This is the base cost & does not include profit margin.

The rigging in Rivers state (and the SS geopol zone) in 2015 was amazing. They claimed ‘failure’ of the SCR and stuffed the ballot boxes or just filled in false votes. They could not do so in 2019 after INEC made changes. Note the huge drop off in the SS turnout in 2019 vs 2015.

It does not make any sense and is incorrect. We currently produce 1.4 mln bpd. If that represents 5% of what we actually produce, then it means we actually produce 28 mln bpd and 26.6 mln bpd is stolen. I am ashamed that Nigerians cannot do this simple math.

It’s such comments on PMS price by supposed EXPERTS (marketers) that make me doubt many Nigerians who hold themselves out as experts in many fields. Crude oil at $80/bbl is equivalent to N601/liter at N1200 FX rate. Yet you expect a product from crude to sell at less than cost?

The only two geopol zones that showed increased total votes in 2019 vs 2015 were the NW & NE. All other zones had lower. Any good strategist will pander to the NW & NE. Tinubu knows what he is doing. The zones that refuse to vote will shout & still stay home in February 2023.

Temporarily (for 6 months)? Why bother? It will make no real difference in prices if importers know it is just for 6 months. Importers will be the only ones to benefit (“I still have old stock” so I can’t lower prices”). You either remove it completely or leave it alone.

In 2016, the UK produced ~1 mln bpd of crude & had a refining capacity >1.1 mln bpd of crude. Yet, they still imported almost 0.8 mln bpd of crude for their refineries. Why? Their refineries get better margins by using crude (e.g. WTI) that is cheaper than their Brent crude.

It is not an indication of the literacy/education (or otherwise) of the minister. BTW, anyone who says Buhari is not educated/literate shouldn’t be argued with. They should be left to their delusion.

From Seplat’s own acquisition presentation. The ExxonMobil Nigeria assets that Seplat wants to buy have NEVER produced up to 300,000 in the best of times. By 2021 they were doing less than 100,000 bpd. So where did the press you are quoting from get their 480,000 bpd from?
