RECESSION: ARE SOUTH WEST TECHNOCRATS FLAWED?

The ongoing recession currently being experienced by Nigerians has been consistently blamed on Buhari’s action and inactions. However a review of on the cabinet members would be a reveal an overlooked fact: That the members of Buhari’s economic team have an overwhelming number of southwest technocrats!

You may ask of the relationship between the place of origin and the performance of an individual? It does matter a indeed matter a lot. You see an individual’s place of origin dictates his education and orientation.

The first south west technocrat to be linked to a National recession is Olu Falae [Mr. SAP]. He became popularly known as Mr. SAP due to his vehement argument for the Structural Adjustment Programme. Despite how unpopular the programme was, he went against all odds to choke down the unpopular pill down Nigeria’s throat. Olu Falae was the Finance minister at the time of Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida [1980’s] and as usual Recession was in the name.

The current crop of southwest technocrat led by Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, Yemi Osinbajo and Babatunde Fashola are presently the main arrow heads of the Buhari’s economic team. The trio are yet to show any clue on the job to the Nigerian economic stakeholders. The lack of economic blueprint is bewildering to many as it is now perceived that they may be learning on the job.

The inability of the trio to carry out any concrete steps or make headway is rather painful. More appalling is a comparison between the economic plight of Nigerians under southwest technocrat and South Eastern technocrats. The period of Okonjo Iweala and other Southern Eastern technocrats were a period of boom, both under Obasanjo and Jonathan.



Are South west Technocrats flawed?

The answer is NO.

REASON?

The inability of south west technocrats to successfully manage the Nigerian economy is not due to any flaw on their part, but a flaw in the Nigerian economy. You see the Nigerian Economy is a capitalist economy and the Awolowo educational system was socialist oriented. Hence the mantra or orientation of a typical south west born economist is tilted toward socialism.

Take a cogent look at the APC manifesto:

Free feeding
Government Jobs
Payment of 5,000 to Graduates
Government giving and giving and giving.
There is little or nothing left for the private sector or policy planning.

Take a quick perusal at the Southwest individual state economies:

Osun over-borrowed for socialist spending. Free food, tablets, jobs.
Ogun [/b]Pays Half salaries to workers which they over employed in line with socialist tendencies.
[b]Ekiti State governor continuously spoon feeds the people with food and other consumables. [Socialist]
Ondo is overburdened with debts due to heavy government spending for socialist spending.
Other south west states face similar challenges also. Lagos is spared due to south East technocrats that have been engaged in the economic planning ministries of the state.


The consistent concentration of South west technocrats on the government’s role has been the flaw repeatedly. The flaw is the result of a Socialist education which needs remediation in the shortest possible time.

The souths East technocrats are generally seen as being ahead of their peers due to their capitalist tendencies. The steps taken by the Anambra state government in cutting tax and in some case removing them in their entirety stands in stark contrast to calls by Adebayo Shittu to increase data tarrif and the likes in response to the ongoing recession.

The dominance of South East technocrats in International institutions such as the world bank and the global banking industry is a testament to their capitalist orientation. And until there is a change in the orientation of south west educational system, the perception of flawed technocrats remains.

Please this is not a tribal tirade but a factual analysis of the impact of the Awolowo education.

Typical afonja barking like dog, the way Osun state viable than all eastern states right Adenuga is in financial mess, he can even manage IBB global com and conoil

SPECIAL REPORT: Adenuga’s Mountain of Debt: Several firms, AMCON chase billionaire for unpaid bills

ConOil, owned by Nigeria’s second richest man, is being pursued by creditors for a combined debt of over $140.5 million by two foreign and one local companies, PREMIUM TIMES has learned.

Despite making several pledges to pay, ConOil and other companies owned by Mr. Adenuga have reneged on paying the debts, multiple sources in the oil and gas sector have told this newspaper.

Things have got so bad that some of the creditor companies have either commenced or are considering commencing legal actions to force the billionaire businessman to pay up, having exhausted all options to make him honour promises and agreements to do so.

In fact, one company successful secured an interim order from a federal court to place one of Mr Adenuga’s companies under receivership.

The increasing debt profile of the telecom and oil mogul, who increased his net worth by almost $5 billion in the last year, according to luxury lifestyle magazine, Forbes, has hit some of his creditors so hard that they had to shut down some of their operations.

One of such companies is Depthwize, a local oil servicing company, which is owed $40 million by ConOil.

The refusal of the management of ConOil to pay Depthwize, a small drilling contractor, has forced the company to lay off workers and shut down services on two of ConOil’s rigs until the money is paid, those familiar with the matter said.

“Depthwize says it can no longer afford the day to day running cost of working on the rigs,” one source said.
Similarly, American oil and gas firm, Baker Hughes, was forced to lodge a court petition to wind up one of Mr Adenuga’s companies, Belbop Nigeria Limited, over a USD $12.09 million bill they have been trying to get the company to pay.

Baker Hughes argued that in 2009, Belbop awarded it a contract for the provision of directional drilling, MWD/LWD services and supply of drilling fluids and drilling bits, logging cabin and surface acquisition system.

The company told the court that after it duly discharged its obligation and rendered all requisite services, Belbop refused to pay. Baker Hughes said it incurred a liability of $9.4 million in the course of executing the contract.

On April 12, 2016, Babs Kuewumi of the Federal High Court in Lagos placed an interim injunction on the accounts of Belbop, pending the determination of the suit.

The judge therefore appointed the Chief Registrar of the Federal High Court as the receiver/manager of Belbop until the substantive suit is determined.

Mr. Adenuga is also causing multinational oil firm, Total, headache over a $28.5 million debt it owed the French oil giant since 2009.

Although Total is trying to resolve the debt problem without litigation, the refusal of Mr. Adenuga to pay the debt has forced the company to stop work on the OML 136 gas field. Total is ConOil’s technical partner in the project.

At a meeting held with Total in November 2015, it was agreed that ConOil would pay the $28.5 million dollars owed before January 31, 2016.

That meeting, which minutes is in the possession of PREMIUM TIMES, was chaired by Mr. Adenuga and attended by four executives from Total.

But those familiar with the matter told this newspaper Mr. Adenuga’s company was yet to pay up. All attempts by Total to make him release the money have failed, insiders said.

Some said they were baffled by Mr Adenuga’s refusal to pay Total the $28.5 million, which would have seen work commenced on the lucrative oil field.

The OML 136 asset is considered one of the largest gas fields in Nigeria, with a proven reserve of 11 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of gas.

The exploration of the oil assets can boost Nigeria’s economy by creating jobs and would have yielded massive return to Total and ConOil, experts say.

When contacted, Total’s spokesperson, Charles Ogan, in an email to PREMIUM TIMES, said the matter was an “obvious internal administrative subject.”

Also, ConOil is engaged in a decade-long dispute with British oil firm, Vitol, over its alleged failure to pay a $60 million debt incurred from lifting of cargoes of refined petroleum products.

Vitol secured a court judgement in the UK in respect of the debt but has been unable to enforce it in Nigeria because ConOil got a stay of execution from a Nigerian court.

ConOil’s financial problems, PREMIUM TIMES gathered, may have been caused by Mr Adenuga’s slowness in taking advantage of potential money earners for the company.

For instance, in 2005, ConOil was granted exploration licence for OPL 257 by the federal government, but the company surprisingly left the block fallow until its licence expired. Now it is asking the government for a two-year extension of its expired licence to enable it explore the field.

On January 22, 2016, Taiwo Olushina, the managing director of ConOil, wrote a letter to the National Petroleum Investment Management Services (NAPIMS) blaming insecurity, high cost of drilling and technical hitches for its failure to explore the field before the expiration of the licence.

“Having attended to technical and financial challenges peculiar to ultra -deep offshore blocks, this approval will provide us with ample time in drilling three identified prospective locations in preparation for further development towards boosting national oil and gas reserves and production,” the letter read in part.

The spokesperson for Mr. Adenuga, Bode Opeseitan, could not be reached to comment for this story. He did not answer or return calls seeking comment.

Another spokesperson ducked when approached by this reporter to comment for this story.

Despite being identified by Truecaller app, Mike Oduniyi told PREMIUM TIMES that we had reached a wrong number and promptly terminated the call.

Tax palaver and bad loan

Mr Adenuga’s companies have also had tax issues in the recent past. In 2009, the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) sealed the Lagos offices of ConOil, and Continental Oil and Gas, another company owned by the businessman, over the non-remittance of $610 million tax to government.

Last month, seven years after his companies were first sealed, the FIRS shut the Lagos offices of Globacom, the second largest mobile telephone company in the country, owned by the billionaire, for allegedly failing to remit Value Added Tax worth N24.3 billion.

Earlier in February this year, the Osun State Internal Revenue Service (OIRS) sealed the offices of the telecommunication firm in the state for failing to pay outstanding taxes and other levies in respect of mast/base stations and laying of fibre optics.

The state said several meetings were held with the company’s representatives in the past three years to resolve the issue, but that the company failed to comply.

The Asset Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON) also listed Mr. Adenuga as one of the country’s biggest debtors for a N2.4billion loan his real estate company, Convenant Apartments Complex Limited, took from Wema Bank.

AMCON acquired the loan from the bank in 2010, after Convenant Apartments failed to pay up, authorities said.

But I will take you serious when you manage to have people in the ilk of:

YORUBAS that have won more than 10 grammy awards while you have zero.

A YORUBA MAN, PRINCE AJIBOLA HAD HEADED THE UNITED NATIONS ORGANISATION,UNO.

OBASANJO STILL HEADS THE FORMER PRESIDENTS AND HEADS OF GOVERNMENTS OF THE WORLD TILL DATE...
A Yoruba man was the president of the WORLD COURT [DR ELIAS] OJUKWUS CAN ONLY GASP AND HATE
2 Yoruba men are NOBEL LAUREATES....PROFS SOYINKA AND ANTHONY ADEGBULUGBE OJUKWUS HAVE NONE

DR AKINWUNMI IS THE PRESIDENT OF AfDB RECOGNISED ALL OVER THE WORLD ...
Yorubas are miles ahead of Ojukwus

OJUKWUS CAN ONLY BOAST OF MESSENGERS LIKE OKONJO IWEALA AND THE OTHERS SHE BROUGHT INTO WORLD BANK BOY BOY

Knowing the astuteness of Yorubas,Donald Trump just put pepper in the eyes of Ojukwus by appointing Ogunlesi into his ECONOMIC CABINET

, the first Nigerian professor of Medicine is Prof T.O Ogunlesi.Stop parroting Samuel Okafor's fairytale.

are u kidding me. U are answering , the guy is notorious for manipulating fact and twisting them the suit is selfish arguement. If u scrutinize the list he posted u will find more flaws in the list.

This thread shows in its entirety, the difference between iboes and Yorubas. The Yorubas have clearly used facts, logic and evidence to destroy the deluded lies of the iPod youths but rather than humble themselves, their shamelessness is so out of this world that they continue to tell fanciful lies.

Now people can see their misplaced value system which calls a cocaine smuggler, a business man to be celebrated. Please let them have their Biafra.
