CORRECTION:

Kayode Adebayo,

To the best of my knowledge and belief, Nigeria's external debts up until the OBJ or GEJ administration were forgiven and totally written off through the professional cum administrative ingenuity of Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the then Super minister that superintended the country's national Economy. 

Against this backdrop, the money that Nigeria saved from subsidy couldn't have been used to service debts from Obasanjo administration, Perhaps you may want to look for other areas (albeit in vain), to spin, in order to justify the unpardonable inexplicable waste and ineptitude of the Tinubu Administration.

Dummy who doesn't know how Public Finance works called Nebukadimonkey Adiele. You and other ignoramuses are talking about where the money saved from oil subsidies went. You don't know that part of the money saved went and still going to Nigeria's External Reserves, savings that are now about $50 billion. You don't that part of it is used to service Nigeria's International trade and International payments. You don't know that part of the money saved is used to service Nigeria's gargantuan debts owed way back from Obasanjo administration to date. You don't know that part of it is used for capital and non-capital spending like railway, road and bridge, schools, hospitals, other constructions, power projects, several other capital projects, salaries and others. You don’t know that part of the savings are being shared between the three tiers of the government: Federal, State and Local Governments. Yoy don’t know that part of it is used to manage Nigeria's foreign exchange rates. You don't know that part of it is stolen by NNPC officials and only recently that Tinubu tried to stop the leaks, by ordering NNPC to send all oil earnings to the Single Treasury Account like other agencies of the government and the Senate is currently investigating the past and present NNPC officials for the frauds. You don’t know that part of it goes to maintain Nigeria's foreign missions abroad and Nigeria's External Obligations like the UN, AU, ECOWAS and several international organizations that Nigeria is a member of.

Dumbest Igbo Boy Called Nebukadimonkey Adiele:

You failed Economics woefully. That's why you don't understand how borrowing and government revenues work, you stark illiterate from Mbaise Bush who dropped out of college to become Mai Guard of Central Park.

For your ignorance, government revenue is different from government borrowing. The government may be making money through several sources and still fall short of executing capital and non capital projects with its budgets. For a long time, Nigeria was earning just $60 per barrel of oil under Tinubu and only recently was it earning between $90 and $110 per barrel with Iran war, which is still subject to fluctuation. There are a number of capital projects embarked upon by the Tinubu regime which are underfunded by Nigeria's revenues and which necessitates borrowing. Your source also failed Economics woefully. She was contradicting herself and doesn't know what project approval and project funding are. She was also quoting rumors. Rumors are not facts. They are what they are: Rumors and as a journalist, she is not supposed to be quoting rumors. She supposed to do her homework through investigations before she opens her mouth on national TV.

For your ignorance and that of your ignorant source, project approvals are different from project funding and budgets are mere statistical assumptions of anticipated revenues and spending. They're mere projections of what the government thinks it would earn and spend. And when projections fall short of realities, the government has to borrow to make up the difference. Unfortunately, she doesn't know that. 

Furthermore, government approves capital projects without funding. It's when government eventually sources the funds that it makes money available for the projects. 

A number of projects that Tinubu administration approved have been funded, while others are yet to be funded, due to lack of money. Sokoto Badagry Expressway is one of the ones that have not been funded, yet it has been approved and Lagos Calabar Expressway has not been fully funded. The government partly funded it and the project execution is moving along as expected. You and your source don't know the difference between approval and funding and need to go to school and learn and stop disgracing yourselves on the internet.

While Edun did a fantastic job as Finance Minister under Tinubu, Tinubu must fulfill his campaign promises to Nigerians. Capital Projects are part of Tinubu's promises to Nigerians and owe them to Nigerians like any government. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with borrowing. Governments around the world borrow money all the time. America which is the biggest economy in the world, owes over $39 trillion to creditors inside and outside America. It owes trillions to China and servicing debts is not something new, even though the ratio of debt servicing to revenue in Nigeria is very high, which Nigeria needs to renegotiate with its creditors. 

However, I will encourage the government to keep borrowing, as long as it is used properly and judiciously for development of Nigeria until it can pay no more and start again from scratch. It works every time.

For your ignorance, Nigeria can at anytime renege on its payments and force the creditors to the table for negotiation and ask for debt forgiveness. It works every time in International Finance. Like my Yoruba people say: Owo Ti O Si, Ko Si Eni To Le Gba. In other words, no body can collect the money that is not available. It's impossible. The worst thing Nigeria's creditors can do is stop lending to Nigeria and Nigeria can ask for debt forgiveness when the time comes. 

Nigeria has a lot of potentials unlike many developing countries that owe monies like Nigeria. That's why its creditors will agree to debt forgiveness, if Nigeria reaches a level of defaulting on its obligations and debt payments. It has the ability to repay loans and can always reference that during debt forgiveness negotiations with creditors.

Unfortunately, you're too daft to know that, because you failed college woefully. You don't know anything about Economics or International Finance.

Go to school and learn.

Kayode Adebayo,

You wrote inter alia, that "You don't know that part of the money saved is used to service Nigeria's gargantuan debts owed way back from Obasanjo administration to date."

By the saved money which you alleged was used to service Nigeria's gargantuan debts, you mean savings arising from subsidy removal, abi? 

I have just visited the web. Please see below what I got in this regard:

CGD began working on Nigerian debt issues in early 2004 to provide analytical support to Nigeria's ongoing efforts to persuade its creditors to agree to an appropriate debt relief package. In October 2005 Nigeria and the Paris Club announced a final agreement for debt relief worth $18 billion and an overall reduction of Nigeria's debt stock by $30 billion. The deal was completed on April 21, 2006 when Nigeria made its final payment and the books were cleared of any Paris Club debt. CGD Research Fellow Todd Moss, who leads Center's work on Nigeria's debt, explains the outcome of the deal.

Now, if, according to the above report, Nigeria's "books were cleared of any Paris Club debt", where in the country's books did the Tinubu Government find  "gargantuan debts owed way back from Obasanjo" for which savings from the subsidy was used to service? You may want to throw more light. Meka

Pastor Emeka Okala:

You're wrong. Let me tell you how Debt Forgiveness works in International Finance, you gullible Pastor of London. When creditors forgive debts owe by a country, only certain percentage is forgiven and certain percentage is due for payment by forgiven country upon forgiveness, Nigeria in this case.

During Obasanjo's administration, Nigeria's creditors called the Paris Club, forgave Nigeria 60% of it's debts which was approximately $18 billion out of a total of $30 billion owed to the Paris Club by Nigeria. The debt forgiveness required a payment of $12 billion by Nigeria known in International Finance as Debt Buy Back, to satisfy the forgiveness condition for the $18 billion, leaving Nigeria with a debt of $5 billion. So, apart from the fact that Nigeria paid $12 billion to secure an $18 billion forgiveness, Nigeria was still left with a debt of $5 billion which was carried over to Yar-Adua's administration and subsequently Jonathan Badluck administration.  

In addition, Obasanjo and his defective PhD holder Finance Minister called Ngozi Okonjo continued to accumulate more debts after the forgiveness which were passed on to Yar-Adua and Jonathan.

Furthermore, for your information, there was nothing special or extraordinary that the defective PhD holder called Ngozi Okonjo did to obtain the debt forgiveness for Nigeria, any Finance Minister of Nigeria could have done that for Nigeria. As a matter of fact, I advised Obasanjo administration to approach Nigeria's creditors to seek debt forgiveness for Nigeria at the time, because it's a common practice in International Finance. If the new Finance Minister approaches Nigeria's creditors, he could obtain similar debt forgiveness for Nigeria under Tinubu. That's why I advised Nigeria to keep borrowing until it can't pay anymore and and then approach its creditors for debt forgiveness. It works every time.

The logic behind debt forgiveness is that rather than creditors losing all the monies owed to them, they will prefer to get whatever is offered to them. Like my Yoruba people say: Owo Ti O Si, Ko Si Eni To Le Gba. In other words, nobody can force a debtor to pay money that's not available. It's impossible.

Your dumb Okonjo did nothing extraordinary for Nigeria. She was paid unnecessary money by Obasanjo administration as Finance Minister. She is an unpatriotic Nigerian.

She is a disgrace to Nigeria and Igboland.

"Gbam! Gbam! Bad news for your hijacker leaders in Kachikwu's case against David Mark-led faction. The Federal High Court ruled against Mark today, asking INEC not to recognize them as Executive members of ADC."  -  Kayode Adebayo

Comment:

Kayode Adebayo,

I make bold to say that, in reality, there are no factions in ADC, as the only Executive of that party is led by David Mark and his officials. What you call factions in that party are the brazen makeshift creations within the party by President Tinubu in cahoots with the INEC and the Judiciary with the main purpose of destabilising the party like they did to the Labour Party and the PDP. Did you not hear what some of Tinubu's evil lieutenants such as Gbajabiamila, Festus Keyamo, et tal, said to their errand boys in ADC? They advised their errand boys in the ADC to remain in that party and scatter it. They (errand boys) were guaranteed the support of the APC in no ambiguous terms. You are privy to all of this, so, why do you pretend?

ADC: Supreme Court decision should not warrant elebration – SAN, Maduabuchi

Daily Post 

A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Oba Maduabuchi, says the Supreme Court decision on the African Democratic Congress, ADC, should not warrant celebration.
Speaking during an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Morning Show’, Maduabuchi said nothing has been decided.

He was reacting to the April 30 decision of the apex court, which vacated the order of the Court of Appeal that barred the recognition of David Mark as the National Chairman of the ADC.

DAILY POST reports that in a unanimous judgment of the Supreme Court, Justice Mohammed Lawal Garba held that the Court of Appeal ought not to have made such an order because it was not sought by any of the parties in the matter.

Airing his own opinion, Maduabuchi said, “The ADC had no business at the Supreme Court. There was no appealable decision by the Federal High Court.

“The Court of Appeal overstepped its bounds by making an order no one sought. In reaching the proper decision that there was no valid appeal by the David Mark faction, the Court of Appeal went a step further and ordered that the status quo be maintained.

That was wrong. When INEC, acting on the Court of Appeal’s order, removed David Mark, it was on solid ground. The Appellate Court’s order was to maintain status quo ante bellum, not status quo.”

Comment:

Kayode Adebayo,

If for personal greed, parochialism or any other factor for that matter, ADC makes the mistake of not unanimously agreeing to present Peter Gregory Obi as their Consensus Candidate for the upcoming Presidential election, they would have made a very COSTLY mistake, as that would cost them a colossally humongous LOSS  - a loss that could make them fatally eternally irrelevant in the scheme of things.

On the other hand, any political party that gives Obi the ticket to fly their Presidential Flag for the said upcoming presidential election would produce the next PRESIDENT of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in the person of Peter Gregory Obi.

He, Peter Obi has been destined to takeover from the inept OTP (One Term President), Bola Ahmed Tinubu. You can take that to the Bank. 

So, it's left to the ADC to put on their thinking cap and make their choice aptly wisely now that it's not yet too late! My 1p. Meka

PCO,

Thank God that your parochial optimism is not infectious at all.

I have never seen a supposedly grown and educated man embrace an obvious mission that is destined never to take off and pin his faith on it.

It is said and has been psychologically proven that those who go into law enforcement usually have a violent trait inherent in their character.

And, those who go into religious and other clergy profession are disposed to belief in faith rather than reason.
Yours make a case for QED in that clergy respect!

Kayode Adebayo,

I honestly don't  know what you are beefing about. You guys (Tinubu, APC and their accomplishes like you) have brazenly made ADC highly toxic - thinking that it's a monopolistic vehicle available for Nigerians to use in the indispensable task of flushing Tinubu and his ineptitude out of power in no distant future. But Peter Obi has wisely left ADC for you. The entire landscape of the ADC is now free for you to continue with your litigation and counter litigation the much you want. You are free now to either recognise David Mark or Nafiu Bala Gombe as the Party's Chairman the much you want. You're also at liberty now to interpret for yourself what the court means by status quo ante bellum the much you want, that's not Peter Obi's cup of tea anymore. The serious-mind has moved on with all of his intimidating millions of supporters worldwide - including this writer for the onerous task ahead.

So, what's your problem?

Don’t go to court, Obi urges NDC members against litigation

Former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, has urged members of the Nigeria Democratic Congress to shun litigation and internal disputes, warning that court battles could undermine efforts to build a viable political alternative ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Obi made the appeal in remarks captured in a video circulating on Sunday, shortly after he and former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, were seen receiving membership cards of the party, signalling what appears to be their formal entry into the platform.

Addressing party members, Obi stressed the need for unity and discipline, noting that internal legal conflicts have historically weakened political parties in Nigeria.

“Please let there be no litigation. Party members, please don’t go to court. We want to build a party, we are not lawyers.

We are pleading with the judiciary. Please end cases in party so we can face the job of building a new Nigeria that is possible,” he said.

Obi framed his appeal within a broader vision of national transformation, arguing that political actors must prioritise institution-building over personal interests.

“We want to build a country where a child of nobody can be somebody without knowing anybody. That is what we want to do,” he said.

The former Labour Party presidential candidate also warned against actions capable of destabilising the party at a critical stage of its formation, suggesting that discipline would be enforced where necessary.

The development comes amid intensifying political realignments among opposition figures seeking to form a united front ahead of the 2027 polls.

Obi and Kwankwaso had, hours earlier, held a closed-door meeting with leaders of the NDC at the Abuja residence of the party’s National Leader and former Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson. The meeting, held in Guzape, is believed to be part of ongoing consultations to consolidate opposition forces.

Their appearance at the event drew supporters under the Obi-Kwankwaso Movement, who chanted in solidarity as both leaders were ushered into the venue.

The move followed Obi’s recent exit from the African Democratic Congress, which he attributed to internal crises, persistent legal disputes, and what he described as a toxic political environment marked by division and distraction from national issues.

Obi had maintained that his decision to leave the ADC was not driven by personal grievances with party leaders but by systemic challenges that, in his view, hinder effective political organisation.

Despite the shifting alliances, he reiterated that his political engagement is driven by national interest rather than personal ambition.

“I am not desperate to be President, Vice President or Senate President. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people can live in dignity, without hunger, fear, or displacement,” he had said.

His latest appeal to NDC members underscores concerns among opposition figures about the destabilising impact of intra-party litigation, as they attempt to build a cohesive platform capable of challenging the ruling party in the next general elections.

This is an unstrategic, unwise decision against Nigeria's refinery Development. The Chinese will use FGN and Chinese government resources to drive Dangote refinery out of business.

This will reverse indigenous refinery Development. Other upstart Nigerian refineries cannot compete/survive.

If these refineries are still owned by FGN, there is a problem. Sell off the refineries and cut your losses. Disband NNPC, it is a complete failure to Nigeria.

Subject: Good Job, Tinubu: Chinese Firms to Operate Warri, Port Harcourt Refineries — NNPC

 

Good job, Tinubu. This is what I've advocated for all government corporations: public-private ownership or private sector management of government companies in order to avoid corruption and waste. I've said it repeatedly that government cannot operate or manage companies and the government must not privatize public companies, because they will be undervalued and the monies realized will go to private pockets.

Good Job, Tinubu

Chinese firms to operate Warri, Port Harcourt refineries — NNPC

Vanguard 

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with two Chinese firms for the restart, operation and expansion of the Warri and Port Harcourt refineries.

In a statement on Monday, NNPC’s Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Andy Odey, said the agreement was signed with Sanjiang Chemical Company Limited and Xingcheng (Fuzhou) Industrial Park Operation and Management Co. Ltd.

He said the deal is expected to pave the way for a Technical Equity Partnership (TEP) aimed at completing ongoing rehabilitation works and ensuring efficient operations of the refineries.

The MoU was executed in Jiaxing City, China, on April 30, 2026, by NNPC’s Group Chief Executive Officer, Bashir Bayo Ojulari, alongside the Chairman of Sanjiang Chemical Company, Guan Jianzhong, and Chairman of Xingcheng Industrial Park Operation and Management Co. Ltd, Bill Bi.

Under the proposed arrangement, the Chinese partners will support the completion of outstanding rehabilitation work at both facilities and take part in their operation and maintenance to achieve sustainable performance.

The partnership will also explore the expansion and upgrade of the refineries to meet cleaner fuel standards, improve profitability and boost petrochemical production capacity. It is further expected to support the development of gas-based industrial hubs around the facilities.

Speaking after the signing, Ojulari described the agreement as a major milestone following months of negotiations.

“All parties recognise mutually beneficial opportunities for the development and long-term sustainability of NNPC’s refining assets,” he said.

He added that the MoU represents a key step toward securing technical partners for the rehabilitation and expansion of the country’s refineries, while also unlocking opportunities in petrochemicals and gas-based industries.

Ojulari, however, noted that the agreement is non-binding and subject to regulatory approvals and further negotiations.

The rehabilitation of the Port Harcourt Refining Company was approved in 2021 at an estimated cost of $1.5 billion, with contracts awarded to Italy’s Saipem and other partners to restore its capacity of 210,000 barrels per day.

Similarly, the Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company is undergoing rehabilitation under a contract valued at about $897 million, aimed at reviving its 125,000 barrels per day capacity and integrating petrochemical production.

Both projects form part of NNPC’s broader strategy to reduce Nigeria’s reliance on imported petroleum products.

The Port Harcourt refinery had briefly resumed operations in late 2024 after years of inactivity but was later shut down due to operational and financial challenges.

Nebu,

You're a fool.

Would you call Dangote a foolish business man? Or why would he and his consortium offered to buy the refineryfor US$750 million?

What do you know about machines or equipment that makes distillation process obsolete? What technology is involved in crude distillation that isn't achieved by illegal distillation everyday in delta area?

The refineries simply doesn't work because they are public or government entities. Privatize it and you will see the turnaround by the private sector.

Doing business has never been the business of governments. No government or publicly owned enterprise is ever effective, efficient and profit-making that is what governments around the world have found out a long time ago. Hence privatisation of former national airlines, rail businessesetc etc.

Tinubu might be politically shrewd (political shrewdness means that the person is nasty, wily, cutthroat-like, dishonest, palpably corrupt, and mafia's godfather-like in every material particular) but he is the stupidest leader Nigeria has had. Tinubu does not know what he is doing and he is surrounded by no good Bantus who kiss up to him. Those refineries are obsolete and should have been sold for scraps decades ago -- as matter of fact, Obasanjo sold them but Yar'Adua dumbly reversed the sale, Jonathan and Buhari dumbly kept burning money in repairing them. 

Any investment in these refineries is a waste of money and time, nothing positive will result from them, Chinese managers or not. The Chinese are here to exploit Nigeria by pretending to be doing something with the refineries. When they are done with exploiting Nigeria, they will come out with the same report we already know and hand it to Tinubu (assuming he remains in office after July next year) -- those refineries are obsolete.

To show how stupid most Nigerians are, look at how the bum who posted this story is jubilating at Tinubu's stupidly contracting the Chinese to doing nothing for Nigeria and getting paid. He pounds his chest in ape-like excitability that "government cannot operate or manage companies and the government must not privatize public companies," First of all, Chinese firms are operated by the Communist Party of China, which means they are owned and operated by the government. In handing these companies to the Chinese, Tinubu is indirectly saying that Nigerian government is inferior to the Chinese government -- he did not hand them over to the private sector. Second of all, the Deranged Ape doesn't want the government managing companies, yet he is happy that the Chinese have taken over, Since he is opposed to privatization, what does he expect the government to do with these companies, if not hand them over to the Chinese government? What point was this fool making?

This is an unstrategic, unwise decision against Nigeria's refinery Development. The Chinese will use FGN and Chinese government resources to drive Dangote refinery out of business.

This will reverse indigenous refinery Development. Other upstart Nigerian refineries cannot compete/survive.

If these refineries are still owned by FGN, there is a problem. Sell off the refineries and cut your losses. Disband NNPC, it is a complete failure to Nigeria.

Neo-Biafrans,

Is it possible that this vile fecundity of filthy verbiage has Nnamdi's Kanu's permission to be dishing out these personal matters? In posturing as abusive of Kanu's wife, on behalf of Kanu, he actually diminishes Kanu with his revelations. With Kanu having fired Directorate Of State, what now constitutes IPOB, just Kanu, his brothers and the phantom AUTOPILOT? Is this why no one hears from Emma Powerful anymore?

Biafranists: Please explain what's going on for Ndi Igbo or cease bothering us with IPOB. There is an infighting within you, therefore the people to whom you claim to be fighting deserve to know the truth. If you insist on keeping the feud/rift secret, then keep IPOB to yourselves henceforth. How could a grown man like this be calling Kanu's wife all sorts of demeaning names without any of you calling him to other? This woman is the mother of Nnamdi Kanu's children, assuming she has fallen out with Kanu, I still doubt that Kanu would authorize the disgusting belittling names that this old semi-literate fool calls her. This man asserts boldly that Kanu's second child was sired by his ex-lawyer Ifeanyi Ejiofor, he heightens that claim with another assertion: Uchechi had an abortion after Kanu was arrested, she sold his house and used the money to purchase another house elsewhere, etc. What this fellow says demeans Kanu more than it could ever demean Uchechi; Biafranists should ask him to cease and desist.  

 

My husband is a very sh∆m€l€§s - Uchechi and Lolo Nneakwuna Ataks Mazi Nnamdi Kanu says he is...

If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves. - Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill (1874-1965)

Biafran Dummy Called Nebukadimonkey Adiele:

Tinubu don scatter-scatter your fellow dummies called IPOB terrorists. Things have fallen apart among your Biafran dummies, you pretending Biafranist called Nebukadimonkey Adiele. 

Your terrorist brother called Nnamdi Kanu is in Sokoto Gulag for life.  Your terrorist cousin called Simon Ekpa is in Finnish Gulag. Emma Powerless is on the run.

Kudos to Tinubu!

Shame on you!
