PS; This project is different from the Nigeria-Morrocco pipeline project. This one terminates in Algeria while the later terminates in Europe.

Why
Say what you know

Vandalizing gas pipeline for the sake of monetary gains is not possible, but for the sake of terrorism, it is a disaster..
What is a 3LDPE pipeline that a bomb cannot blow up
Do we have a history of pipeline vandalism for terrorism related causes in sub Saharan africa? No
Ita always been for economic gain/reason..that what I referred to as being not easy compared to the risk associated..
Moreover how many gas pipelines linking Europe have been reported vandalised due to terrorism??

Can someone tell me the financial benefits of this for Nigerians. Genuinely asking.

That's the Trans-Saharan gas pipeline project that will transport gas from Nigeria to Algeria where European nations can also be serviced
Kudos to Niger republic for g the deal. It's been years since the gas project was conceived, alongside OB3 and AKK gas pipeline projects.

Better days ahead for Nigeria

you don't blow up a gas pipeline....oil pipeline yes.....gas no....if you try it how will you hold the gas? All you will do is set yourself and the surrounding areas on fire.......

Nigeria will start selling gas (which Nigeria has in abundance) to North African countries and countries in Europe. The idea is to get the gas to Algeria and then meter and sell the gas to Europe through existing gas facilities in Algeria. Nigeria would probably sign contracts and agreement with Algeria to enable her use Algeria's facilities.

It's a big deal and game changer if it scales through.. Nigeria will become wealthy (in dollars) once sales of gas to Europe commences and we won't have need to flare gas again in the Niger Delta and other O&G producing areas.

Am sorry to tow this line of thought.....
Not all Muslims are terrorists,but most terrorists are Muslims..
The said pipelines runs through Islamic dominated nations...
Terrorists don't stand a chance where the Pipeline ends in NATO guarded Europe and it directly benefits Muslim countries from Nigeria all the way through Algeria..
Only Russia can motivate such and Russia's key ally here Niger republic already sanctioned the deal....

You can blow up a gas pipeline for terrorism purpose

It's for monetary gains that you can't blow up a gas pipeline

The terrorists that have been blowing up power stations in the north don't do it for monetary purposes

Surely Russia won't smile at this deal..,.so we should expect uprisings ( military coups) against weak nations erstwhile ed by Russia (just to render the deal null) but against The west( in particular)..
Niger, Burkina Faso need to be aware

The Europeans need gas from Nigeria as most nations in Europe no longer want to depend solely on Russia for their gas supply. They need gas badly so they'd certainly see to the success of the gas pipeline project. I'm sure Niger republic and Burkina Faso are aware of what is at stake.

Don't stress much with that guy.. serious ground work is going on in the North regarding gas pipeline security for Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano (AKK) and the Trans Saharan gas pipelines.. heard from the horse's mouth and the person was Commander operation lafiya dole. The Military and Security services are all involved with 24/7 surveillance, any boko wey go near, na sorry.

I can't be more proud this project is far from being a dream into becoming realistic. Despite obvious political tensions with Niger Republic, I was quite optimistic it would sail through. A great piece of news to us as it will spectacularly bolster the economic value of the oil and gas ecosystem, bearing in mind that only recently, Portugal has indicated interests in buying more gas from Nigeria. Nigeria becomes an emerging market to Europe. I am glad Gen Tchiani did not let his ego get in the way by allowing common sense prevailed. This speaks to the fact that Nigeria being the giant of Africa is not mere a slogan but a testament of Nigeria 's capacity and her spirit of tenacity. Nigeria is like a mother cloud hovering over the continent of Africa.
That being said, I'm firmly in consonance with the declaration of President Tinubu that no unconstitutional leadership will be tolerated by ECOWAS on the continent. I therefore urge the respective military juntas in West Africa, as rapidly as possible to unveil a transition plan and inaugurate a transition committee to return their countries back to democratic government in the shortest possible time.

PS; This project is different from the Nigeria-Morrocco pipeline project. This one terminates in Algeria while the later terminates in Europe.


What exactly is good about this news? who is funding the project? ... what are we putting into it ? ...what are the investors putting into it? ... what are we putting into it? ...what are they getting out of it? ..what are we getting out of it? ...bragging rights? ...to say we are by far the biggest exporter of gas in Africa?..the Giant of Africa? I wish you can make references to back what you're saying. Any MoU the FG signs ...is to make Nigeria go deeper into the gutter. Ask any Nigerian what democracy has done for them or the country ...the responses wouldn't be positive. Ask someone from Burkina Faso what their young military leader has done for them and their country.... it's a different story. Our analog stuck in the past politicians need to go ... by any means necessary...or we will be continue building castles in the air

Nigeria benefits economically and environmentally.
For every 1.5m barrel of crude oil produced daily,several cubic feet of gas is being emitted which before now is beings harnessed for local use WHILE EXCESS is being flaired/ burnt 🔥 causing pollution and release of harzardous compounds..
This project will bring more dollars to our purse and also keep our environment fairly cleaner than what we used to have

Gas that can't give us steady power
Nigeria is inexplicable by all means
Power plants are complaining of low has supply
Power supply have been worse since 2024
No industrialization as a result of gas

Yet they want to export gas and help other more developed countries sustain their development

How exactly did I end up here
That's y we sell the gas and buy solar s 😁
Vision101(m): 2:02am On Feb 15
Have we ever had a president that separated petroleum and gas and gave them different ministers? This is the benefit of experience. The president has oil and gas background and not buying and selling background grin grin

Don't mind them, it doesn't have any benefit in real life scenario. The project has been on ground since Buhari era. At the inception of AKK gas pipeline project, they said the pipeline would be extended to carry gas to Europe to provide a cheap alternative to gas supply to Europe by Russia.

The rate of return on Investment, cost benefit analysis and payback period of any investment on the trans Sahara gas pipeline is nothing. Libya and North Africa countries with Gas are in best position to transport gas to Europe. Otherwise, let European Energy companies finance the gas pipeline project or let china finance the project while the only commitment from Nigeria would only be to sell gas .

The West Africa Gas Pipeline Company manages the 678 kilometers pipeline from Nigeria to Takoradi. I don't know about the profitability now. They should allow investors manage the North Africa gas pipeline project and put the headquarters in Niger Republic or Algeria if it is a good investment. This is better than subjecting Nigeria to loans to finance the project.

Same gas we are buying so expensive.

So dollars will be made for our elites, but the common man will keep buying it expensively right?
