Most of these propagandists have no idea about how business is done in the downstream oil sector. The worst part is names like Conoil, Total, Sahara, Oando, African Petroleum and Mobil were mentioned. These tomato sellers do not know what they are talking about. hahahahahahaha

NEXT has no information to suggest that the president’s campaign is in fact linked to this bribery scandal. It is not unusual for thieving officials to claim that they are acting at the behest of a president. Upon being contacted by our reporters, a spokesperson for the president’s campaign reacted with alarm and issued a sharp denial

Acharu Osime, a spokeswoman for oil marketer Sahara Energy, vehemently denied her company’s involvement in any wrongdoing.

“This is a false allegation,” she protested. “We go through due process upholding our integrity and credibility in all our business transactions. We have and will never involve ourselves in anything less,” she said.

Niyi Olowola of Oando, while confirming that his firm had received approval for petrol importation for the quarter, also denied paying any bribes.

“It is not possible, we did not make any payment,” he said, adding that authorisation for Oando, as a major industry player, should not come as a surprise. “Oando is the largest importer of fuel. That is not anything out of normal,” he said.

The spokesperson for the PPPRA, Wole Adamolekun, as at press time, still asked for more time to give an official response even though he had been given over 16 hours to respond. However, Lanre Oladele, who apparently spoke for Mr. Adamolekun, denied that any bribe payment scheme existed in his agency.

“To the best of my knowledge, I am not aware of anything like that and I don’t believe anything like that exists,” he said

Erm, forgive me but, was it not with the advent of Mrs Diezani Allison-Madueke that all of a sudden the previously 'intractable' problems of fuel queues, fluctuating prices for petrol and diesel, fuel shortages, fuel hoarding, adulterated fuel, and explosion of gas pipelines all over the country etc etc suddenly all came to a halt??

So, who were the oil ministers before she came in and how come there's no scandal surrounding them?

Did they pay off the journalists like the fool writing above who had the effrontery to label Diezani ''incompetent''?

''Incompetent'' for ending fuel queues and keeping prices stable?

Under the ''highly competent'' oil ministers before her, we all know what we experienced.

Surely they were 1000000000000 times more corrupt than Madam Minister?

People like Alhaji Rilwanu Lukman, oil minister on and off for over 25 years who oversaw the wrecking of the oil industry, including the systematic dismantling of our refineries.

Why have these knucklehead, sexist, spiteful, corrupt-to-the-bone journalists not investigated any of HIS deeds while in office?

They want to say they cannot find any evidence on Lukman, despite the numerous atrocities in the oil sector under his watch??

WERE THEY PAID OFF BACK THEN AND ARE NOW ANGRY THAT DIEZANI IS NOT PAYING THEM?

I don't know people keep asking for facts when it comes to corruption among nigerian government official as if there is any other way of doing things in nigerian system other than corrupt practices.

The only reason why nigerian leaders don't give account is because they don't work on facts,their analysis and actions are based on hearsay,even with the same NNPC that up till this day does not have near guess records of nigerian oil dealings.

Nigeria as a country is like one yeye boy when one yeye wind dey blow for one yeye corner
Re: Oil Minister In N2.2b Bribery Scandal by Nobody: 7:09pm On Apr 10, 2011
now lets spread some rumours -

http://elendureports.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1169&Itemid=33

Deziani Allison Madueke
A few days before names of then Acting President Goodluck Jonathan’s ministerial nominees were announced, there was a serious quarrel between the first couple. A source who witnessed the quarrel said, “The fight was so bad that madam nearly tore Oga’s shirt.” The bone of contention was the pending announcement of Deziani Allison Madueke as one of the ministerial nominees.

Two years earlier Patience Goodluck Jonathan had openly confronted Deziani Allison Madueke’s mother, Beatrice Agama, at an event in Port Harcourt. Patience told Deziani’s mother, “Mama, please tell your daughter to leave my husband alone. She is married and I’m married. What kind of thing is this?” An eyewitness told this reporter: “The woman was so embarrassed all she could mutter was, “What is she talking about?”

Days before Deziani was announced as the new Petroleum Minister, Elendureports.com had exclusively reported that she demanded to be given the petroleum ministry, a demand, we are told, she made in 2007 but could not get. Although there was overwhelming support for Odein Ajumogobia, SAN, who was Minister of State for Petroleum under Rilwani Lukman and was expected to get the substantive job, in the oil and gas industry, Deziani insisted that she be given the job. Ajumogobia was given the Foreign Affairs Ministry while Deziani Allison Madueke got her wish—the Petroleum Ministry.

In fairness, Deziani Madueke before being appointed minister in 2007 had worked with Shell Petroleum Development Company. She got to the position of Executive Director of the multinational conglomerate. While there is some controversy as to her experience in the oil industry and level of competence, the fact is that she left Shell as an Executive Director, a position few Nigerian women, if any had occupied.

On the day the First Lady of Nigeria, Patience Goodluck Jonathan traveled to Dubai, sources said, she wrote a note to her husband, President Goodluck Jonathan. The note, which was hand-delivered by one of her two children supposedly encouraged the President to invite Deziani Allison Madueke “to move into the Presidential Villa.” We could not independently confirm this but a source who was with her on the trip to Dubai told this reporter that the First Lady refused to take calls from the President for the first couple days she was in Dubai.

The day before her departure to Dubai, a Saturday, then Group Managing Director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Shehu Ladan spent two hours at the Aso Rock Villa. Most of the two hours the GMD was at the Villa was spent in consultation with the First Lady. Ladan traveled to London on official assignment the day the First Lady took off to Dubai. The next day Ladan was fired from his job and no reasons were given.

From what Elendureports.com has been able to piece together with information available, Shehu Ladan is said to have executed five oil deals on behalf of the Federal Government of Nigeria. The Minister of Petroleum signed off on these deals. One of the beneficiaries of this deal is Patience Goodluck Jonathan. According to some sources, the First Lady made $2,000,000 profit from her deal. This was later reported to the President by Deziani Madueke who claimed that Ladan “misled” her.

The Monday Ladan Shehu was sacked while on official assignment in London, Presidency sources said the Petroleum Minister had visited the Villa to see the President. She was said to have presented two documents to the President; one, for approval to sack the NNPC GMD and the second one was for the appointment of his successor. The President, according our sources, read the documents and quickly signed them. “The President did not even consult anybody or directed that a query be issued to Ladan. She just handed him documents, the man read them and just signed. I can tell you that is the fastest decision this man has made since I’ve known him,” said one Presidency official.

The President and Deziani Madueke have a relationship dating back to his time as Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State. Some even claim that the relationship predates his years as Deputy Governor. A source claims the President and the Petroleum Minister are cousins. This claim was quickly dismissed by several sources who have known them for years.

A very credible source informed this reporter recently that Pres. Goodluck Jonathan came close to divorcing his wife, Patience, last year. According to this source, what saved the marriage was the intervention of Hassan Tukur, current Principal Secretary to the President. Tukur was then the Head of the Nigerian Energy Commission. He is a “long time pal of the President.”

Deziani Allison Madueke’s place as one of the two most powerful women in Nigeria today is not in doubt. Nowhere is her power more visible and pronounced than at the Presidential Villa. According to several presidency and security sources, any time Deziani visits the office of the president nobody else is allowed to see the President.

One source told Elendureports.com: “Soon after Oga became Acting President, Deziani came to visit him. Shortly after she walked into the Acting President’s office, the then Principal Secretary to the Acting President walked in to take some documents to him. Jonathan just raised his hand to stop the man in his tracks. After that everybody got the message. You do not enter the President’s office when Deziani is visiting.” These visits we are told sometimes lasts up to three hours.

After the sack of Shehu Ladan as the GMD of NNPC, there were rumors that the former GMD had engaged in a shouting match with the Petroleum Minister. However, almost everybody we spoke to for this story who had known Ladan Shehu insisted that the man was not capable of such behavior. Some top NNPC staffers who spoke with this reporter insisted that Deziani was threatened by Ladan’s alleged closeness to Patience Jonathan. “You see, Deziani would’ve been ticked off by Ladan going to the Villa to spend two hours with Patience. The Minister in a meeting with us informed us that she demands 100% loyalty and would not tolerate any disloyalty. How do you think she would’ve seen Ladan’s visit to the First Lady even though there was nothing personal in that visit?” said an NNPC staffer. Elendureports.com could not confirm if indeed there was a meeting between Deziani and top NNPC staffers.

The President’s relationship with Deziani Madueke, official and harmless though it may be, has not been well received by Nigerians. Several people we spoke to for this article advised the President to “tone it down.” One very angry Bayelsa political chieftain said to Elendureports.com: “The President’s relationship with Deziani may be harmless…I tend to believe all these rumors are lies but even at that the man should tone it down. He is the man.” Another person told us: “How can on his first official visit to the United States, instead of going with his wife to see Pres. Obama who was with his own wife, he took as part of his entourage Deziani? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying there’s anything between them but if it were you would you do it? Tongues are wagging about you and one woman and on your first official visit you take her instead of your wife, on your first state visit to your wife’s state you take this same woman and send off your wife to Delta State. Haba, let common sense prevail here.”

A lady who has known Deziani and Goodluck Jonathan for years told this reporter: “Why is it that when a woman climbs to the top you start looking into how she made it? Do you expose men to the same scrutiny? It is even worse when people like you do it.”

This story is not about Deziani Allison Madueke’s personal life or how she got to the top. When Deziani’s name was first announced for minister in 2007, this reporter traced her history, up to her days in Washington as a student of Howard University but did not do a story.

my first question to u is , do u think a woman with the magnitude of exposure like alison madueke , can actually say that , shes collecting bribes on behlaf of Gej to fund elections? think, can u as small, big or whatever u are make such a damning comment in such a situation like this or was she under duress?

2)ur second post from elendure or what ever u called them was suicidal to u, all thats fiiled in that post is how one woman said this and that etc, the post is filled with junk, well i wldnt mind the part of goodluck wanting to leave patience, that woman need some schooling for that her post.

personally i like deziani, i wld marry her if opportuned , grin have u listned to that woman talk ? well the earlier part of ur post said alot about her, former executive director shell.nuff said

fact is gej will win the elections ,fortunately thers not much haters can do
