Nigeria flared 25 bcm of gas in 2000 and reduced 71% by 2020 to 7.2 bcm while producing 2 million bpd during this period. LNG effectively converted a wasted resource into $130bn Image
$130bn in 20 years. A powerful example no other country has replicated.
 
According to OPEC, EIA, and The World Bank data, between 2012-22, Nigeria reduced gas flaring by 45% and flaring intensity by 14% - the best performance. /02/
Currently, $6.5 bn/yr of revenue are produced climbing to $9 bn when Nigeria LNG Limited Train 7 is operational. /03/

Re: Nnolim Nnaji’s Nigeria Air

Nigerians are an incorrigible lot, inveterate pessimists, the lots of them. You’d find enough misgivings and mistrusts in the Nigerian system to drown the most sanguine of minds, minds of good cheer. /01/ Image
I’d tell you for a paltry price: Nigeria’s most virulent adversaries are within its borders, huffing and puffing at every seeming infraction, contrived or not.

I digress. /02/
Nigeria Air was launched to the peals of celebrations, especially in quarters enamored by the prospects of a national carrier —an idea that was first mulled, then left to putrefy and gangrene over the years. /03/

Nigerian Minimum Wage And A Bucketful of Nigerian MeloDrama

Before some of us become a little flighty with ‘Minimum Wage’ disparities between Nigeria and a few other countries in the comity of oil exporters, we must cotton on to the simple fact; that… /01/ Image
… the ‘Mininum Wage’ of a country is not affixed arbitrarily —with the flippant whip of a magic wand, especially —it must be predicated upon certain corporeal economic indices; especially, by matching the parities between … /02/
… a country’s GDP (Gross Domestic Product), its ANP (Average National Productivity) and its population size.

Where,
ANP = GDP / Population

Let’s fetch the numbers, shall we? Crude mathematics coming right up; /03/

“Lagos is a No Man’s Land”: Origin and Truth

The claim that Lagos is a "no man’s land" is a controversial and contested topic. Lagos, a city located in southwestern Nigeria, started out as a fishing village, called Eko. /01/
Its inhabitants and settlers were the Yoruba people. Over time, the area grew and attracted traders from neighboring regions, including the Binis who conquered the area in the 16th century, and European explorers, leading to the establishment of a thriving port city. /02/
The phrase, Lagos is a “no man’s land” was first used by the First Speaker of the House of Representatives and later Minister for Foreign Affairs, Honorable Jaja Anucha Nwachukwu, in 1947. /03/

Compare And Contrast

The PDP, under Mr Goodluck Jonathan, borrowed $53billion in 5 years; averaging $10.06billion a year.

Contrastingly, the APC, under Mr Muhammadu Buhari, has only borrowed $30.35billion in 7 years; averaging $4.33billion a year. /01/
The PDP - availed with approx. 60% more funds from borrowing - had almost zilch in infrastructure to show for their inordinate, voracious borrowing. /02/
The APC - only scraping by with about 60% less from debts, dutifully fettered to infrastructure projects - shows workings with a rainbow of infrastructures - of varied shapes and hues - all delivered with an extensive, … /03/
