TheGoodJoe: TheGoodJoe: Of course oil is not the problem, the problem is the combo of easy oil money and a bunch of greedy useless leaders; a horrible combo which forced a once thriving and diversified economy into a comatose mono-economic huge mess. El Rufai saying he prays for oil to dry was obviously a figure of speech; he was only trying to make an emphasis on how bad the easy oil wealth polluted the minds of Nigeria's leaders over the years thereby killing Nigeria's productivity. I'm surprised you couldn't figure that out but rather swallowed his statement literally, I'm sure it's cos you hold a prejudice against the man. 1 Like |

oladeebo: Agreed, the present managers are horrible guys! But they are horrible because we have a system that ferlilizes horribility & makes it profitable! They will seize to be horrible when horribleness is made inconvinience & unprofitable. There is structural impediment to growth & development in Nigeria. Unless it is removed, there is nothing anybody can do including you. The evedience is the woeful performance of the present Government! I never believed Buhari would fail. But then, I realised the system under which he operates cannot allow even the Angels to succeed! It is as bad as that! And since Buhari of all persons has failed to do much, even the so called corruption fight, it mean that no other leader in Nigeria can succeed under this system. Nigeria as presently designed cannot work in the 21st century! Analogue ideas & policies cannot achieve any tangible result in a digital environment! So, let's search for new path as the one we followed has been tested severally and proved to be unworkable! 1 Like |

obailala: Even if the free Oil Money is not there, these same corrupt leaders will tax us and make us pay through our noses to fuel their ostentatious lifestyle. The Crude is a blessing. The problem are those handling the resources. Put better people on the seat and this Crude will transform the nation. |

paschu:I expected this to be a common sense issue, I even went ahead to explain in my previous post. But you went ahead to cancel my post and then returned with further meaningless questions. The allure of easy oil wealth forced the corruption and laziness out of Nigerians. Before oil, Nigeria had a thriving diversified economy and no region was parasitic on any other. But all that changed after oil. El Rufai's prayer for oil to dry up was only a figure of speech to lay emphasis on how oil wealth in Nigeria turned out to be a curse instead of a blessing; he wasnt literally asking for oil to dry up. Today, 5 out of the 6 zones in Nigeria are lazy and unproductive parasites to the south-south because of this same feeding bottle economy which Nigeria became because of easy oil wealth. As it stands today, the damage has already been done, oil is still Nigeria's only source of income. So I'm sorry, your question about the uproar due to militants stopping oil production is a very pointless question. 1 Like |

I Will Expose Your Role In Chibok Girls Kidnapping, Alhassan Threatens Elrufai The embattled Minister of Women Affairs, Amina Alhassan has threatened to expose Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir Elrufai and his role in Chibok girls kidnapping. The Minister said she was surprised that a dirty character like Elrufai could even have the gut to comment against her preference for Alhaji Atiku Abubakar for 2019 Presidential race. She said, there are lot of things Nigerians needs to know about the planning and execution of Chibok girl kidnapping because those behind it will be unmasked very soon. The intention was very obvious, to defame and blackmail PDP and Jonathan out of power. The Minister became angry by the comment credited to Elrufai where he was quoted as saying that Buhari was severely warned not to appoint Amina Alhassan as Minister. Mallam Elrufai said Amina Alhassan's leaved Video, an indication that she has never been loyal to President Buhari from day one, noting that her loyalty lies with someone who is not even ready to support the party to success just because the person also want to become a president In her response, Amina said those who know history well could tell about the treacherous nature of Elrufai who can go to any length to stab anyone just to rise politically, she said Elrufai was a nobody who was as poor as church rat if not for Atiku that brought him to political relevance. The same Elrufai was among those who plotted against Jonathan by tactically supporting Boko Haram and Kidnapping of Chibok girls, the information is out there where he lied that Jonathan wanted to kill him and other top members of APC by raising a false alarm about sniper list. No sane Nigerians will take Elrufai serious because he is an unrepentant addicted liar. The same Elrufai who claimed to be loyal to president is sponsoring some bloggers and his errand boys in the media to keep attacking and defaming Buhari, at least Nigerians and our party can see his deliberate action to blackmail the President when he released his memo to the media which was supposed to be a confidential memo to the President in his bid to tarnish and embarrass Baba Buhari. I am not a coward, Buhari is my President and one of the fathers of my party APC, if I can't be real with my choice of Atiku, then it would amount to eye service, I am not that kind of person. Former President Obasanjo through his book "My Watch" gave a valid description of who the midget Elrufai is, he thrives on stabbing the hands that fed him just to rise politically, he can lie and kill so far he will rise in his political career not minding the pain he is inflicting on others, one of such is his supervision of mass killing and hurriedly burying of over 1,000 Shiites killed in Kaduna. I will personally meet with President Buhari and explain myself to him, I am not afraid of anybody in the party, after all I am a politician, for those who have gone ahead to plant a corruption story about me in the media, you are just wasting your time she added.

omohayek: That is the reason behind the call for restructuring! He need not pray that it (oil) should dry up rather he should support restructuring and reasource control. There are many oil producing communities without drinking water and Abuja is build solely on monies from oil. It is a good thing some persons has realise that free monies (awoof- dey run belle) but for an oil producing communities without basic social ammenities whose farms and rivers has been totally destroyed by oil exploration and production,,,,,it is not free money o! |

TheGoodJoe:When Nigerians had to work hard to produce wealth, Nigeria was very well diversified and a thriving nation. In otherwords I'm saying, the corruption in the country was definitely not as bad as this when the stupendous easy wealth from oil wasnt available. That is the point I'm trying to make. And isnt this the reason why many sharp minds have called for restructuring of the country?... In order to force the different zones to get back to work and stop sitting idly waiting for feeding bottle money from the south south? |

Dare2Try: When Resources started dwindling due to a drop in Crude Oil prices, what happened? Pump price increase. This in turn led to the Occupy Nigeria protest. What we need is the masses waking up. Demanding laws and policies that will lead to the right channelling of our resources. Not they want to blame Crude Oil, instead of them. #OurMumuDonDo |

obailala: Not really. We were a country who just came out of colonial rule. Most of the decency and sound policies came from our colonial masters. After our independence, we have been in a free fall of bad rulership. It was not Crude that caused the problem. It was our greed. Even the leaders of the past were alleged to have been corrupt. If we must go back to work and develop different economic sectors of the country, we need the Crude Revenue to invest it properly and channel it appropriately. That is why the drying up theory by El-Rufai is ridiculous. |

kudosamass:I adore your intelligent bravo! There is nothing that wrong with this system but a lots were wrong with system managers! We are talking of diversification and governments were complain of no money! yah, you can't tax where you didn't invest, is like if you want to ripe where you didn't sow, it wont be easy if not impossible! All the civil servants pay tax in 100% but how much they pay compared to 70% of informal and private job! And don't forget government invest in any area it's collected taxes except private job, how can will increase on our IGR? government must invest on trading, artisan, farming, Animal husbandry and all the area they can generate Revenue from! this will automatically boost the moral of tax payers, and gear up the economy! There are many countries depend solely on taxes! |

Deceitfulsnakes. Please pray oil is never found in northern nigeria. The oil you are stealing today is the wealth of Niger deltans criminally dispossessed from them. If the oil were in northwest region, Fulanis would never share one kobo of it with anyone in Nigeria, especially the Southsouth, Southeast, Southwest or NorthCentral. |

This is just the bitter truth. I was in the oil city of Port Harcourt. I have seen deeply into the oil sector, what is solely keeping all of us here in Port Harcourt is oil. Take away oil and Nigeria economy will collapse. Nigerians are lacking in creativity thinking. Nigerians have become so addicted to (and dependent on) "free" oil money that they can't even conceive of another way of life other than scrambling by any and every means to maximize their share of the fixed "national cake" derived from oil rents. How much oil, gas, gold or other mineral resources do the likes of Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Switzerland or Austria have? Can anyone say they are worse off than resource rich countries like Congo, Nigeria or even South Africa? The parasitical mindset which oil money has bred in Nigerians is at the root of so many of the country's problems, but the allure of eating without working is so strong that most Nigerians can't even see the problem. |

You sound so confused Mr. Man. I know it's in your dna as an APC member, but you guys should quit getting things twisted. All Nigerians are not as dumb as APC. And, FYI, the US oil production is expected to hit 10 million barrels per day by next year: https://www.cnbc.com/2017/06/06/us-oil-output-to-hit-record-10-million-barrels-a-day-next-year-eia.html Whilst, you should also know, Russia's output is over 5000 barrels per day. http://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Russian-Maritime-Oil-Exports-Fall-For-First-Time-In-2017.html So, Mr., if oil money makes nations lazy, how come those two countries are not seen as lazy too? obailala: 1 Like |
