Just when we thought that the ills and omens of the past administrations are far behind us, we are once again faced with one of the very elements for which they we crucified and castigated. During the last fuel scarcity we had under former President Jonathan, the apostles of the then opposition, the APC rode on the back of such age long institutional malady largely orchestrated by inordinate covetousness and the obnoxious policy of subsidy, to mendaciously confuse the Nigerian people into believing that it was Jonathan’s delinquency. Now it is crystal clear to everyone that it is Nigeria’s fault. The same Buhari who once said that there is nothing called subsidy has now approved N413b for payment of subsidy. But it rather came a bit late because we are already faced with its gory effect. Lies and propaganda can win elections at the polls, but it will be foolhardy of one to think that those strategies can sustain a government, this is one fact APC and their cronies need to come to terms with. In the previous times, we were battling to clear subsidy debts of N200b and about that range, but today it is disheartening that even the N413b already proposed by this government is only a part payment to the monies owed the oil marketers. This is unfortunately a magnanimous deterrent to our shaky economy and quickly calls for a fast governmental action. And with the new cabinet recently commissioned, this government is expected to hit the ground running by developing their economic blueprints so we know where the nation is heading to and how best to salvage our ever dwindling economy.



Today we have seen petrol prices rise to its all high of N1000 per litre in the black markets. Most filling stations sell at prices ranging from N150 to N250 per litre. The hardship this unfortunate situation has caused Nigerians, especially the poor masses is untold. But even before this slow government reacts to this socio economic gridlock caused by fuel scarcity, individuals and organisations should learn to show their altruism and love for humanity. Most oil marketers take advantage of this national mayhem to aggrandise their selfish moans and thus escalate the sufferings of the ordinary masses. But even in the midst of this inhumanities and bizarre economic frustrations, one man has carved a niche for himself in the annals of posterity and the wellbeing of humanity; he is Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah, the CEO of Capital oil and Gas Industries Ltd.


On May 24th of this year, in the midst of the last fuel scarcity, Dr Ifeanyi Ubah, through his company, Capital Oils took a giant stride in rescuing the nation in its most enigmatic time, for which posterity will forever smile at him for that. At a time when all the oil marketers have unanimously decided not to release the products to the stations until their subsidy demands are met, Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah personally took it upon himself to bring the strike to an end, for the love of his people and country. He announced and actually released 13million litres of petrol products across the nation. This brave move from a man that cares for humanity was one of the major turnaround which caused the other marketers to rethink and go back to business. He minded less the consequences and the sanctions that are most likely to come his way, his passion and drive to see a better humanity has always been his watchword. It could be recalled that in the wake of that same scarcity of that time, his company, Capital oil ltd were the only filling station in the entire South East that sold the Premium Motor Spirit at the official pump price of N87 per litre. All these moves were not engineered by any political, ethnic or religious reasons; rather they were borne purely out of his affection for humanity. Ifeanyi is one man that should be said to have a crush on mankind. His spirit of altruism and patriotism is colossal and emulative. His strong belief in deregulation of the oil sector is the most reliable solution to the menace we currently face in that sector.


By that very act alone, he has set himself as a beacon of hope for the teeming poor masses in our nation, and through his Ifeanyi Ubah Foundation he has met the needs of most wailing Nigerians. By that very act, he has demonstrated that the cries and moans of the poor are his ringtones and his push to hearken to these national cries is the definition of his existence on earth. By that quantum leap, he has shown the youth and the world indeed that some risks are worth taking especially when these risks will at the long run help to promote humanity and enhance good living especially among the many poor in the world. By that very act, he could rightly be adjudged a moral icon and a man who delights and craves for a better world for all of us. It takes a whale of a moral courage to achieve such feat, especially in a majorly diversified nation like ours. Yet he took that step to bring smiles to the many even at his own expense and the expense of the few. And having pleased God so well by this act, it is not out of place if I claim that God has really blessed him the more through that. Nigeria needs more Ifeanyi Ubahs. We need people of his ilk in our leadership positions. Why we suffer most times is that most of our current leaders are largely unconcerned with the heart beats of the poor that voted them into power. If only we can have people like Ifeanyi Ubah in every state of the federation, our states would have been long developed and our poverty level must have reduced drastically. Now that we still battle with another case of fuel scarcity, we need more able Nigerians who can stand tall, firm and determined to change the story lines and alleviate the tortures of the people for God and for humanity.

God bless Nigeria!

Good.

This reeks of face-saving. The best way he can maintain his good image and supposed integrity is not to try and dabble into politics as this post suggests he might, going by the use of sensationalising words.

So what is he trying to communicate now? I dnt believe in all those hypes biko...PolitiCS IS politics

True talk

That money missed road Buffon should stop his financial support for IPOB.

After Ubah's show of goodwill during the last fuel scarcity, some people were still saying rubbish on NL. That PMB will still jail him, and all that.
I hope we are all seeing that it takes more than just talk to get things done.
We are all in this together, and we shall enjoy or suffer together.

Do you have a documented proof of what you wrote up there

Ask me again. Fool

Ubah the charlatan can only fool the gullible. He is one of the crooks, like Dasuki, Allison-Madueke, Otedola, Maina et al, who benefitted from the slackness and corrupt backbone GEJ operated with. This is why this fake patriot bankrolled and led TAN with the hope GEJ would get a second term so the looting can continue.

His time will come when PMB initiates a probe of the fuel subsidy scam they used to cart away billions of dollars belonging to Nigeria.. Until then let him continue forming "patriotic Nigerian". Intelligent and aware Nigerians are not fooled. We know Ubah, Otedola et al fall firmly into the category of AGIP (any government in power) and enemy of Nigeria.
