Nigeria is ramping up efforts to finish the construction of a pipeline that will help deliver its gas to Europe.
It’s also trying to triple its reserves as prices and demand for gas surge due to the conflict in Ukraine.

What will Africa benefit from this?CORRUPTION.
Hey now you’re a rock star!
We are going to destroy those pipeline believe you me.
Brainless leaders… when they can’t even fulfill the gas-need of the citizenry, they’re thinking of exporting to “Europe”.
I smelled sponsored corruption here… mtchew
Wow!
That is all youbever hear from Nigeria ” No money”. Really sick abd tired of that old saw.
Nigeria has been raking in billions on oil revenues in the last 30 years. Maybe ut is time for thevruling kleptocrats to repatriate some of their vash from the number accounts in Switzerland and invest it in this opportunity.
Nigeria is 4th biggest oil producer in the world and 1st in Africa. I understand the nature of business but why Europe???? Forget Africa even Nigeria citizens are struggling with fuel just think about it??? It doesn’t make any sense 😕 😒 😐 Nigeria government should put its own peoples first and do business with African nations period.
I’m a proud American and I agree with this report. Give them a chance to help us out. It’s a win win for everyone. Plus we get to make new ally’s who are trust worthy in the game And while Europe sits back and watches Russia struggle to breath once more well all be warm and cozy. 💪🏾
Yes I totally agree with you.
America go to “bed” with everyone who serves her need.
@Zeal Deazl americans dont need nigeria gas reserve, america have 303 trillion gas reserve 100trillion more than nigera. it is europe who need gas reserve.
Nigeria will be progressed in the upcoming days but the Nigerian government should amendment Zero tolerance against corruption.
No mention of long term gas contracts – I think this will end in premium tears…
If Nigeria will supply gas to Europe thru pipeline, then will your muslim brothers BOKO HARAM allow them.
Nigeria don’t put yourself into European matters they don’t care about our African continent
Split up Nigeria the northern government continues to exploit the resources of the South and all the benefits end up to them and and not us places like lagos and pourt harcourt should be more developed by now if it was runned by biafrans and oduduwans forget the 2023 elections because things can never change under one Nigeria yoruba and igbos should be campaigning for a referendum for the Republic of oduduwa and the Republic of biafra I have had enough of fulani rule and choke hold on Nigeria it time the south goes it separate way like it way before Britain joined southern Nigeria and northern Nigeria to form one Nigeria.
This is how you know that Africans leader and people are mentally enslaved because 90% of Africans lack gas and are using fiorest woods to provide energy for cooking and worst of all 95% of the nigerians population lacked gas for cooking and energy generation but you have their government rushing to supply gas to Erope while their people suffering as the result of lack of power of electricity,gas and fuel for tranposration in Nigeria
Thank you baba buhari
Good work working for the colonist
and that investments will be pouring in like rain
Nigerians to their Government: give security to your region before you give them a “pipeline.”
Why is africa looked down on when that continent has SOOOO much… sooo much.. they should never have anyone living in Poverty
Don’t waste your time Nigerian, by the time it’s complete, Europe will find a reason to sanction it ☹
Nigeria better keep a low profile lest the hegemon decides to invade and plunder the gas for herself!🤣🤣😂
This is just but a propaganda and waste. My country that I know is known for waste. You’ll see how it won’t take much long for this project to be abandoned after those that want to loot from it are done with their looting. In other words, this project is nothing but another looting mechanism for the sitting government, they are all have a means of cashing out 😂
No wonder gas prices is skyrocketing
The Western bloc is dependent on Africa and the Middle East for its energy.
its not nigeria gas but exxon, shell gas.
Nigeria should ramp up pipelines across Africa instead of Europe
So why hasn’t Europe dumped Putin sooner Nigeria can definitely use the money. And have a Nigeria as an ally would definitely help.
Africa needs to gouge Europe. Make them pay through their noses. 🗣️📢
And we’re suffering from high cost of gas in Nigeria 😥😥
Good
I just hope they are the one controlling this and not a western company.
Meanwhile, Uganda is also constructing an oil pipeline to the coast through Tanzania.
So ordinary Ugandans ain’t sure yet if oil is theirs or a plot to rob them of this treasure.
The proceeds won’t reach the Nigerian masses. Nigerian politicians are the greediest people in the world. Someone can steal billions and won’t flinch nor be bothered
Wow it’s my pleasure i work in one of the most trusted gas and oil pipe company here in Italy it will be a big advantage to me and other Nigerians that works in my company if we had an opportunity of contract, company name, INOX TECH SPA. LENDINARA ITALY
I wonder why Nigeria, still not prosperus, if they have oil
Just another way for the government to steal and empoverish it’s people, really sad
And the Europe are treating us like trash? Nigeria has it all but we gat bad leaders
Nigeria should keep its gas for itself. The europeans can take its manufacturing to Nigeria. Allowing for you resouces to be exported is a way to keep being poor.
Nigeria is a complete zoo,
Animal kingdom of the highest provocation….
Nigeria has crude oil ( in Biafran land of course)_ but it’s refined outside the country and imported back into the country _making gas price very costly for Nigerians…the Fulani cabals ruling Nigeria are just making money with gas from Biafran land at the detriment of Biafran people.
Tankyou
Nigeria despite being a country with a lot of resources is still one of the poorest countries on earth, the rich keeps getting richer and living a very luxurious life with the money meant for all and everyone is scared of talking because……..
These so called investments opportunities return will only end up in pocket of the politicians and their collaborators.
Despite this gas deposit,gas is still very expensive in Nigeria.
U want to send gas to Europe congratulations to all of you.and you want to target European countries okay and Russia federation shall be sleeping while the gas is from biafraland.nonsense
The problem the gas belongs to Foreign countries.
Why???
This gas pipeline is just for our stupid politicians and the Westerns, just like the excess oil we have in Nigeria.We have many wasteful natural resources but the stupid people are the ones managing it.
Vote wisely to make Nigeria work again
What Happened to farming and other resources… Failed leaders everywhere…..
..
I’m so happy to see this
But this is now a private company.
Praying the profits go to the people and at the same time screw the Russians out of a great market.
Mashallah this is great but I do hope the wealth that will come from this reach the poorest of Nigeria 🇳🇬🤝🇧🇷
Very odd that Europe & USA wants dirty energy from barbaric Nations with terrible human rights issues, but not clean ethical energy from Canada
west stealing nigerias oil for their own interest, poor people of Nigeria wont benefit from this… their corrupt goverment official are getting rich while citizen are getting poor
T
This Corrupt Nigerian being used by the West will have Civil War soon after they get to start Pomping gas and Oíl to their Masters Europeans? You can give independence to the Slaves but you can’t get The Slaves to be Independent because they miss to be told What to do!!
Looks like they love they colonizers 💯
Nigeria rule by dictatorship… Western find good friends when need it….
And unfortunately non of the proceeds from this will benefit the ordinary citizens because of exploitation, corruption and non patriotism. Smh
because of corruption, Europe will pay far less for the gas and bribe the leaders. Foreign companies will less taxes employ more foreigners, own a higher percentage of the company proceeds, pay less royalties, care less about the environment. After they’ve paid peanuts to the corrupt non patriotic leaders of Nigeria.
Pay up, pay up!
why don’t you build pipelines to supply oil in other Africa countries first before other continent
Good for Nigeria.
Africa will get well soon 🔜 when wake-up from deep sleep
Why not continue to supply Africa? 🙄 Europe will end up owning it… 😂
South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Angola are countries who are most likely to buy it but they have enough Gas and oil in Southern Africa mainly from Angola and Mozambique and its worth mentioning that South Africa gets its gas from Mozambique. All above mentioned countries are in Southern Africa and so Nigerian markets remain in Europe.
Africa rising
Problem with our African leaders is that they try to impress Europeans who stole everything from us and continue making us poor.
Europe will use Africa’s gas to substitutes Russians gas while looking for new solutions for their own. Nuclear energy might be their number one.
Give local contents a chance to participates in the project
Nigeria 🇳🇬 Na baba
Hope Nigerians benefit from their God given natural resources and the proceeds are not pocketed by few corrupt politicians and their accomplices. Nigeria can do better with the right people at the driver seats.
المملكة المغربية حطمت الرقم القياسي في سرعة و شدة التصهين المعمق . كل يوم زيارات و اتفاقيات التعاون و معاهدات في كل الميادين و خاصة العسكرية الامنية الاستخبارتية العبيدية اليهودية المرسخة في الدم و الجينات حب و عشق شديد لامة واحدة صهيونية في المهلكة المخزنية العلوية
I thank God for who has rememberd Nigeria
Is Nigeria have 70% electricity ???
this could be worse! relying on a Nigerian to get me coffee would have me walking to the bean myself.
I hope this [the construction site] is not an old clip…. I have learned to take nothing serious in this country, until I am almost certain that it is!
Mudi Mabiriani Alikuwa Hapa 🇹🇿
Hopefully they benefit from this but I doubt they will to many corrupt people on this earth.
Nonsense… Incompetent Nigerian politicians will never get the simplest thing done!
Funny your give oil while they is no oil in nigeria
*I don’t trust this report for two factors:*
*1. You don’t just build a gas pipeline without a deal. Did Europe request for this? These pipelines cost billions of dollars. You won’t run anything through any of those countries the man mentioned without actually business contract signed. If Europe didn’t request for this, you can’t build this and say you are targeting their market.*
*2. The places he mentioned have security issues. How will these pipelines be protected?*
*I’m Nigerian.*
Criminals
Boko Aram will destroy everything or were is the security that will protect the pipeline, Nigeria that bandits has taken over.
Those asking why not supply Africa seen to have less knowledge of Africa. South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Angola are countries who are most likely to buy it but they have enough Gas and oil in Southern Africa and all above mentioned countries are in Southern Africa and so Nigerian markets remain in Europe.
Yet they can’t power their power plants
As a Nigerian citizens… We will not allow our country to sale oil to Germany…
What company is handling this project.
nigeria should really distribute the wealth to its people. so much human exploitation lead to rise of illegal gangs and private armies that oppose the government. In the end if only the biggest company and the politicians become wealthy, it will only lead to civil war. before taking care of european countries, nigeria should take care of its own people first.
Meanwhile they can’t provide power to their own people
Cheers for Nigeria!
Will Europe not sanction Nigeria tomorrow? Nigeria should beware. They always use sanctions as a tool to get what they want.
What’s the share of the Nigerian common people going to be from this venture??????? Nigeria must take stock and expunge its ludicrous status.
Nigerians deserve better.
Africa please supply to your brother African countries first. You can make the same contract with your African counterparts. Africans
Love yourselves first. How will Africa develop . Africa wake up!!!! Have a little sense it will go a long way
It’s people can’t even benefit from it and they run to provide Europe
Good news for the corrupt governments and their families 😞💔 because the people won’t be getting anything 💰😞
Nigeria can’t even supply its own people with gas and electric but they want to supply Europe. This is just madness.
As a Ghanaian 5his is what we want to be hearing on a daily from Nigerian press… Not wars nor kidnapping etc..Arise Nigeria Africa needs you 🙂
Mad people everywhere. How much is gas in Nigeria. A country with selfish and wicked rulers can not benefit the poor masses. Oil and gas everywhere but insecurity is getting worse daily and underdevelopment as well. If Europe wants the gas they should understand that Africa needs to be developed as well
Africa leads but Nigeria saves – Europe would have been much more better off had they know this before Putin’s war on Europe (not Ukraine)
Make sure to charge them heavy for all the things they have done to you.
