Gas supply to facilitate addition of 560MW of additional generation capacity into the grid

Seven Energy International Limited (“Seven Energy”), the indigenous Nigerian integrated gas Company has commenced the supply of gas to the 560 MW Calabar National Integrated Power Project (“NIPP”). The commercial delivery of gas to CalabarNIPP commenced in March 2015, and is being executed through Accugas, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Seven Energy. When operating at full capacityCalabarNIPP will increase national power generation by over 10%.   

Gas is being supplied to the power plant from Seven Energy’s Uquo Gas Processing Facility in Akwa Ibom State through the Seven Energy pipeline network. 


The gas supply will enable the power plant to complete commissioning and start deliveringelectricity into the national grid. 

Commenting on the achievement, Phillip Ihenacho, Chief Executive Officer, Seven Energy, said; “Delivering a cost effective and reliable gas supply is critical to providingsustainable power supply into the national grid to meet the government’s reform objectives and to facilitate industrial development. I am delighted that our ability to deliver an indigenous gas solution, from end to end is now being recognised by a broad range of industrial and power sector customers. Not only will the gas we supply drive enhanced power generation, but when combined with improvements in transmission and distribution it will also facilitate industrial and commercial developments which will have a far reaching impact throughout the community, stimulating industry and generating employment as a result.”

Steve Tierney, Managing Director, Accugas said “The Calabar NIPP is a major power plant in Calabar  and a further endorsement of the quality and reliability of our services. Our strong capability across the region with ownership of gas reserves and pipeline infrastructure have enabled us to commercialise our gas assets, delivering a solution that the market has been demanding for many years. We are ready and look forward to adding more customers to our network across the South East of Nigeria, bringing affordable and reliable gas to a wider audience.”

Seven Energy has continued to champion an industrial gas revolution through the development and production of natural gas, and, critically, its commercialisation through investment in processing and distribution infrastructure, where the Company has invested over $1 billion in the south east region of the Niger Delta in the last 5 years.

With significant capacity built into its distribution infrastructure, the Company is capable of providing a long-term supply of gas to additional off takers for power generation and for local industry.

Since the commissioning of the Uquo Gas Processing Facility in 2014, Seven Energy has begun the supply of gas to other off takers such as the Ibom Power Company, Notore Chemical Industries Limited and the United Cement Company of Nigeria, also in Calabar.

Photos: Pregnant lady charmed by a one eyed-beggar in a bus in Enugu

A LIB reader tells a scary and interesting story of something he witnessed in Enugu and backed it up with photos. Things are really happening. We all need to be careful out there. Read story below...

Two days back, being Wednesday, on my way back from school, I witnessed something extra-ordinary. If you are familiar with Enugu metropolis, this happened at MSP bus-stop, the one before IMT gate(Institute of Management and technology). As I was walking home approaching the bus-stop to enter a bus, one bus swerved in front of me and people started jumping down from the bus and each person that came down began crying. They were saying a pregnant woman who was in the bus was being charmed and made dumb by a one-eyed beggar who was also in the bus.

As was narrated by one of the occupants who was weeping, she said the pregnant woman who had entered the bus before the the one-eyed beggar had answered a call on her phone and a few bus-stops later, the one eyed beggar who was obviously identified as a beggar because of his music instrument entered the bus. When the pregnant woman wanted to then get down at her destination, she couldn't speak again, she tried motioning to the driver but the one eyed-beggar who sat beside her told the conductor that they haven't gotten to their destination and that the pregnant woman was his wife and that she was dumb. This caused confusion in the bus as some occupants of the bus had earlier seen her answer a call and also knew she didn't enter the bus together with the beggar. The driver then stopped the bus and as the occupants got down and narrated what happened in the bus to the crowd that had obviously gathered cause of the alarm they raised, the beggar still insisted the pregnant woman was dumb and was his wife.

As people were suggesting to take them to the police station, the man in yellow who you'll see in one of the attached pictures rushed the beggar and began punching him and flogging him with his belt telling him to confess and say the truth. Before i knew what was happeneing, more peole including angry drivers, conductors, students and passer-bys who were obviously pissed by the grid-lock the commotion has generated on the road because of the crowd joined to beat the beggar. After about 5mins of beating, one of the men beating the beggar brought car oil and poured on the beggar and threatened that if he didn't confess that he'l be set ablaze. That was when the man confessed that he touched the woman with his ring.

They asked if he could un-do it and he said yes. He removed the ring from his finger and touched the pregnant woman's fore-head and she regained her speech. I was shocked and dumb-founded. I had never seen such or believed such things existed. After seeing the pregnant woman regain her speech, the crowd then began the real jungle justice on the beggar, they beat and kicked him the more and called him a "heartless ritualist who wanted to use a pregnant woman and her unborn child for blood money". Mean-while the pregnant woman who had regained her speech wasn't acting normal. She had lost total memory and the only name she could remember was that of her sister which someone among the crowd collected the pregnant's woman's phone and retrieved the sister's number from her contact list and called her sister to inform her.

The police luckily arrived before the man could be set ablaze and everyone took to their heels. The few brave ones stayed behind to find out what the out-come would be and on interrogation by the police, the beggar confessed that the woman was his wife and accomplice and that he was supposed to touch her with the ring and make her dumb so she could join him in his beginning business. He said he touched her with it and she went dumb but that it also affected her memory and she couldn't realise where she was or what was happening which made her motion around like someone in distress inside the bus. While he was being questioned by the police by the side of the road, the pregnant woman sat by his side and didn't utter a word. Some said she lost her speech again. Some said she regained her memory and realized her game was up and quietly shut-up. The police later took both of them away with the beggar holding the ring in his hand. The pictures and videos of the beating, the pregnant woman and the one-eyed beggar are attached in the attachment.

14yea Old Teenager Rapes His Mother While She Slept

A woman was fast asleep, when she suddenly woke up to find her teenage son on top of her, first she felt confused, then disgusted but a court has however cleared the boy of raping his mother…

The woman had revealed during trial that she woke to find her 14year old son, “on top of me” and when he noticed she was awake, he scuttled out of the room.

“I sat screaming and thinking ‘What the hell’s just gone on?’
“All sorts was going through my head. Is he sleepwalking? Does he know what he is doing? Is he aware?”

At first she thought she was dreaming, then felt “numb and shocked and repulsed”.
The boy, now 15, denied he raped his mother and did not give evidence. He was found not guilty yesterday at Preston crown court.
What the world coming to???

It looks like Karrueche Tran is tired of playing “BREAK UP” with Chris Brown

It looks like Karrueche Tran is tired of playing “BREAK UP” with Chris Brown especially now that Rihanna is somewhat getting involved with Breezy – Some days ago, Chris was seen with Rihanna at rapper Travis Scott’s party and that might be a good reason for Kae to quickly stop the playing hard to get before she looses him for good(hehe)…

and a few days after the party, gist has it that Karrueche was over at Chris Brown’s house… And if this is true, I doubt anyone would be really surprised we all know she still loves him.
Or what do you think???

We Will Provide a Virile Opposition to the APC – Fani-Kayode

Femi Fani-Kayode on Thursday revealed that he wouldn’t leave the PDP, as he and other members of the party will stay put, to checkmate the incoming administration of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.

While speaking with journalists after the presentation of election report by the PDPPCO to President Goodluck Jonathan at the presidential villa, Abuja, Fani-Kayode said:

“The fact of the matter is that I have been in the PDP since 2003. I went to the APC for nine months and I have enunciated the reason for that and I felt that I was absolutely right to do that at that point in time.
“I retraced my steps when it was very clear to me that what was on the other side was far worse than what was on our side.
“We made our point, the necessary concession made within the PDP, there was far more south western participation, there was much more virile fight against Boko Haram and that’s why we came back. And I came back and I played a leading role in this campaign.
“We are not going anywhere. I can speak for myself and I can speak for many others. We are here to stay. We will provide a virile opposition to the APC, we will do all that is needed to be done to ensure that the in-coming government remains on its toes and we will all do this in a very peaceful and honourable way.
“Nobody is going anywhere as far as I am concerned, none of us is running away. There is nothing to be scared of. We fought hard, we did well, am very proud of my team, am proud of my President and our campaign organisation and we will continue in the trenches until this country is on the road to success. We will continue to do that”.
