Ikengawo:


Why? When GEJ prayed and fought they stoned him and elected the same fulani that radicalize kill and oppress them. Now GEJ is gone and they're still attacking him. Meanwhile he's asking us to pray for them.

I'm more concerned about the safety of innocent people. Let's join hands to pray for the North

papaejima1:
Someone said earlier today that the next target would likely be Kano based on past patterns of the BH bombing.
Now it has happened.
Why couldnt even our security and intelligence people think for crying out loud?

Boko haram still gaining ground. The presidency needs to step up its game o, lives are being wasted on daily basis here.

Lagging in oral English.

But most gwonjo sellers dint not open for business as they went to bury the dead

When some wise guys said buhari was sick and too old to be President, APC said the pple's general will deliver.
The President is totally confused and needs rehabilitation ASAP

They will be defeated.They are just trying to put fear in people's mind and weaken our resolute to stand up to these evil people.

PMB should stay focuse and not get distracted with all the unnecessary social media niose.I want him to take responsibility of all that had happened and never blame opposition for Bokoharam activities.

lagdmark:

Northern Nigeria Petroleum corporation =NNPC

her full cup

Posted By TheScoop on April 12, 2014

By Ross Alabo-George

If her key accomplishment is making sure that a major oil producing country like Nigeria has petroleum products in filling stations around the country and the long queues disappear, then, the simple truth is that we do not need her. If all she does is make sure that our crude oil is shipped into foreign lands as raw materials that create jobs abroad, perpetuating poverty at home, then she deserves nothing but spite. If she was listed in the New York Stock Exchange, her value will be less than a dollar. The NNPC has become a big-for-nothing enterprise.

For over three decades, the NNPC has operated at a loss, and has not contributed a dime (from its profits) to the national coffers from all its multibillion dollar operations. The corporation has suffered from visionless leadership and poor management.

When President Goodluck Jonathan appointed Ms. D. Allison-Madueke as minister of petroleum resources, it was because the president wanted her to deploy her years of industry experience and the content of her glorious resume into productive leadership. Nigerians looked forward to rapid reforms in a sector that has become the cash cow of the nation. So far, the story has been that of colossal disappointment.

I am sure that the president is deeply disappointed about the sorry state of the petroleum ministry and the NNPC.
Ms. Diezani Allison-Madueke is the most powerful minister of petroleum this country has ever had. Before her, Prof. Tam David-West used to be man that held that ‘title’. Prof. David-West doubled as the chairman of NNPC board of directors, and no other minister of petroleum after him ever did, until Ms. Madueke demanded to be, and got the nod to become.

With that power, David-West built two major refineries, pipelines, and storage facilities across the country. In fact local gasoline production exceeded local demands. Minister David-West, with the support of General Mohammed Buhari laid the foundation for the petroleum industry we have today, and nothing much has changed, in terms of structure, since David-West left as minister.

The Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) was to be the flagship initiative of the Jonathan administration, but the political intrigues seem to have overwhelmed the minister. Some senators from the South-South Region quietly express their concern about the slothful manner and indifference with which the bill has been handled. They are disappointed that the minister has not been able to galvanize the required support of stakeholders.

More worrisome is their complaint that the presidency and the PDP has not completely deployed its weight on the matter. The PIB falls short of reforming the most critical organization of the industry. So, even when passed into law, the PIB will serve more as reinforcement to the existing regulatory framework, community participation and royalties. The PIB would not reform the NNPC.

The NNPC has no vision. It is a national enterprise that has not grown for decades and continues to depend on crude oil sales solely for its revenue. NNPC has no major profit yielding investment locally or internationally. Its subsidiaries, which are potentially viable groups on their own, have become mere departments of a sluggish behemoth. Most of the NNPC’s subsidiaries except the NPDC (credit of Ms. Diezani) operate at a loss, and this has been the case for decades.

Russia is the World’s number one oil producing nation. It dwarfs Nigeria in both exports and reserves. However, Russia does not just depend on sales from crude oil. It leverages on its comparative advantages in petroleum, and expands its frontiers globally.
Bashneft is an independent state-owned Russian oil company. It is one of the largest producer of oil products in Russia. The company operates 140 oil and natural gas fields in Russia and has an annual oil production of 16 million tonnes. Bashneft owns three oil refineries located in Ufa with a combined capacity of 820,000 bbl/d (130,000 m3/d) and 100 petrol stations.

After three decade, the NNPC is struggling to fix its 3 refineries, while other oil producing nations have transformed their state-owned oil enterprises into profitable ventures.
Venezuela is in many ways like Nigeria, the state-owned PDVSA is the government cash cow, in fact to be empoloyed in the PDVSA you had to be loyal to the Chavez revolution. Despite that extent of politicization , the PDVSA has been profitable and venturing beyond the shores of the Western hemisphere. In 2007, PDVSA bought 82.14% percent of Electricidad de Caracas company from AES Corporation as part of a renationalization program.
Citgo Petroleum Corporation, USA is 100% owned by PDVSA – PDVSA owns a 50% stake in Nynäs Petroleum, Sweden. Until April 2008, PDVSA was the sole owner of Bahamas Oil Refining Company (BORCO), Bahamas. Hovensa LLC refinery, US Virgin Islands – Hovensa is jointly owned by PDVSA and Hess Oil Virgin Islands Corp. PDVSA was a 50% owner of Ruhr Oel GmbH, the other half belonging to BP’s German unit Aral AG. PDVSA sold its part to Russia’s Rosneft on October 2010, raking in profit shared with Venezuela.

Gazprom, was created in 1989 when the Ministry of Gas Industry of the Soviet Union transformed itself into a corporation, keeping all its assets intact. The company was later privatised in part, but currently the Russian government holds a majority stake. In 2011, the company produced about 513.2 billion cubic metres (18.12 trillion cubic feet) of natural gas, amounting to more than 17% of worldwide gas production. In addition, Gazprom produced about 32.3 million tons of crude oil and nearly 12.1 million tons of gas condensate. Gazprom’s activities accounted for 8% of Russia’s gross domestic product in 2011.
Gazprom has controlling shares in over 300 major business subsidiaries, across over 50 countries. Mostly in oil and gas, and energy. Gazprom business empire extends to Nigeria.

Nigaz is a joint venture between the Russian gas company Gazprom and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. Nigaz was established in 2009. It plans to invest US$2.5 billion to build oil and gas refineries, pipelines and gas power stations in Nigeria.
The reforms the NNPC need are those that will re-establish it as a profitable venture. The whole idea of Transcorp Plc is what the NNPC is supposed to be. It should be investing in Telecommunication, Energy, Solid Minerals, Transportation and even Education.

Why are our refineries not working when the monies the NNPC claims it spent importing fuel can buy the NNPC at least four good refineries in Europe? It is simply because the NNPC is run like a ministry rather than an enterprise.
The NNPC cannot manage a refinery when its contemporaries across the globe are acquiring such assets. A ministry does not run a business.
But when an enterprise has been running at a loss for over decade, the question the president must ask is if such an enterprise should remain the way it is. The PIB will mean nothing if the NNPC remains this way. Time to reform the NNPC is now. She is finished!

You may not agree with me, But all these are part of the plan to end this boko haram thing without any outrage. Its all part of the game plan.

My point is, Let's be watchful. Even if boko haram ends today and every one goes on with praise singing, Let not ever forget to ask the right and hash questions. If we don't ask , then we have been defeated. But God forbid.

Boko haram didn't start killing today. Nigerians Don't be deceived. The people behind this thing are looking for a way to end it, so that we don't focus on them. This is the time we can catch them. any smart person should know this. Lets monitor these event very closely. we shall find the clue.

Boko haram MUST NOT END IN NIGERIA WITHOUT HEADS ROLLING. Lets be Vigilant. There are clues in these event.

Let me also copy dat guy say d nxt target mayb Maiduguri

The first move Buhari made after he was sworn in was to release $21 Million out of $100M to the Boko Haram guys and claimed it was for the MJTF. We are now seeing the result.
