Summary :
All major petroleum exporting countries have active refineries for local consumption of petroluem products except the ‘giant of Africa’ Nigeria!
United States of America with most refineries (129).
When they say “God bless America” I don’t think it is because the people who reside in the USA are so religious.
I think it is more about the determination of the people towards solving the challenges facing them.
Hospitals, Refineries, etc, are established in Nigeria and people Nigerians are employed to manage them.
Within a few hours, mismanagement and embezzlement of funds will take over.
My Yoruba people say ‘A se ni nse ara e’.
What we sow is exactly what we harvest!
We mismanaged our 3 refineries and all packed up simultaneously, some years ago.
Days of reckoning are here!
You see, there is no magic that Heaven will do if we won’t do what is right!
