Omo, I'm tired of this country.
*Bleep* the country!
*Bleep* all the mo'fvckers on this site who act and write like everything in this Shyt hole country is honkeydoorey!
Hello people! It ain't rosy here; and those in charge are a bunch of greedy coons.
Churches are everywhere.... Wickedness everywhere!!! I wonder how people can claim to be born again when every facet of life here is corrupt.Nothing is in anyway easy, i mean nothing! except you throw money at it.

Sorry, good fellas, I had to air my frustrations! But no apologies to dumb coons!

Chief,
Are you aware that there were consultants and auditors from PricewaterhouseCoopers Limited (PwC)involved in the work of the committee?
So I do not understand what you are saying. Have you read the report at all or are you one of the people who elRufai said don't read?
The report have been circulating for sometime now online and I will advise you to go and read it rather than listen to what you are told.
Exactly my thought bro.

Elueme: The committee should come back and clarify their mess.. Ribadu had fought corruption well in the past, though at a biase and partisan level, but I suspected he had something up his sleeves the moment that incomplete report was leaked to the international press. The rebound effect this could have on his reputation if he actually tried to sabotage government through this assignment for a suspected cheap political point will be unprecedented.. Orosanye could be right afterall.
But coming to think abt it the report gettn leked might prompt the govt to take bold steps against all indicted because the truth is already an open secret

How is that a credit to Ribadu's CV?
There's no how you can carry out an investigation of such magnitude without the involvement of professional Auditors and Consultants. In every audit, the keyword is "Investigation", "Verification" and "Reconciliation" of accounts and then "Recommendation" From what we hear, Ribadu only did the investigations and recommendations, leaving out the verification and reconciliation of accounts.
Ribadu went there to score cheap "Political Goals". If not, why should he leak the report to the media even before submitting it to the one that engaged his services. You guys are always amazing. The ones that were verified and reconciled what has retardeen done about it, what is Ribadu report saying dat we dont know, ur boss is pathetically corrupt ao he wont and cant fight corruption, there is no need trying to blame Ribadu for the failure of this committee cos all the reports of all the comittes set up by ur boss ve been programmed to fail cos they will never be implemented and Nigerians are no longer hoodwinked anylonger.

Were you the one that posted PWC and other consultants to the committee? We know the name of members of this committee.

I have maintained from day one that if you have a dirty job to do, Orosanye is not the guy to engage. If you have ever had something to do with Federal Civil Service when he was at the helm, you better know your stuff and have the right attitude. Steve is one hell of a process guy. He believes everybody can do it if the process is fool proof.

Let me repeat again, if Rubadu was given such an important assignment and he did not conduct independent figure verification and revert back to government for verification, he has failed woefully. Yes!! Okupe is terribly right. It is only in Nigeria that a committee come up with a report that indict a $100b worth organization without verified figures to back it up. ACN propaganda machine and other individuals brainwashed by Lagos press can never see anything wrong with it.

As i will always advice, people should learn to gather information for themselves and make an informed judgement and not base it on whatever NL or LTV pass on to them. Imagine, somebody is still calling this 'work in progress' a report and is even calling for prosecution of people indicted with unverified figures. What an embarrassment!

How material are those your 'unverified' figures to the outcome of the investigation.

I have worked partly in compliance and there is no where you carry out a 100% verification. You only select samples that are material to the outcome of your investigation.

Did Steve Orasanye who hardly attended committee meetings and lacks independence being a member of the NNPC board, carry out any procedure to determine the materiality of these so called 'unverified' figures.

So how did he reach his conclusion?

Orosanye is a thorough man as you claim, but the same Orosanye agreed to be a part of the NNPC board which he ought to be investigating? What kind of thorough man does not understand the basics of being a member of an investigative committee?

"He is, cos recents event shows Ribadu actually did not follow the right procedures to tender a fool proof report . . .And yet the lousy opposition who love to ejacula!ate over nothing will scream murder"

Nigerians should hold Ribadu responsible if this report is watered down.. You can't implement fully a report that didn't follow due procedure and standard. I still can't believe that Ribadu of all people after his experience as a police officer and EFCC boss will not know the implications of certain actions and inactions. Unilaterally reaching a decision without due consultation from the other parties involved and going ahead to state unequivocally that the committee could not verify the claims and asking FG to do so is a trap for FG by Ribadu and his opposition parties backer..
It is easy to be resentful against govt and abhor anything about government because we have been disappointed on countless occasion or still some don't like the faces of the people presently occupying the seat for different reasons but we should be courageous to tell ourselves some plain truth and judge if Ribadu has done well with this report? From the accusation of not carrying other members along and unilaterally reaching a decision as alleged by Orosanya and Oti which he smartly defended by accusing them of compromising by accepting appointment by the NNPC to this shady work of non - verification of claims.. Let you and I be the judge. I speak with pains because I want the petroleum sector sanitized and I don't want any loop hole that will give our common enemies ground to escape justice. The presidency has however, promised to implement the recommendations but Ribadu should come and complete his work.

The issue is that numbers were not independently verified and the govt can't act on such figures making the report half useless till a complete job is done.

Absolutely. The man came into power supported by the most corrupt in the land. In fact, it was embarrassing how so many corrupt men and AGIPs (any government in power) united to endorse and support 'project GEJ' before last year's election.

Only a fool will not realise that such nefarious support for GEJ came because corruption recognised one of its own i.e a man who will let the looting continue because he is happy to 'loot and let loot'. Seeing the talk of some here makes one want to weep for Nigeria. I personally think it is simplistic to blame bad leadership alone for our woes. Terrible followership is a very potent part of the mix as well.

SHUT yr mouth you eediot. Virtually ALL of the bad practices and infractures the incomplete report indicatd happend way b4 GEJ became President. GEJ didnt cause d problem, he is rectifying them. If this report had not been so shamelessly politicizd, the focus wud hv been in putting pressure on d NA to pass d PIB bill which d President has sent to them (we all were essentially insulting d President, demanding he shld quickly send d bill to d NA which he has since done) cos MOST of d recommendatns of d committee are already in d very critical PIB bill dat wud completely turn-around d opaque oil industry and make it more open.....on dis issue of unverified data, it was Ribadu himself that wrote d govt that d committee did not verify d data it usd to come to SOME of its findings and then askd d govt to verify d figures demselves; so eida the govt takes its time to verify d data as Ribadu suggestd Or d govt sends d report back to d committee to complete its work COS there is no way govt can legally use d findings of a committee that admittd on its report that its figures hv not been verified/reconcild to retrieve monies from Oil companies even if we know sm of dem are still owing us. It is just as simple as that; there's no need been overtly Emotional about this

You are on your way to high blood pressure if you don't have it already. Silly agbero. Stop going around ranting against others like a mad dog. No one told you to devote your life to marketing a very bad and rotten product to the extent you are always reduced to attacking others and foaming at the mouth like a lunatic.
