Outlined in this way, it does come across as very impressive indeed, especially coming from just one single administration in one country, out of over 200 countries on earth.

Love Dieziani or hate her, she's one of the best things that have happened to the Nigerian oil and gas industry, and by extension, the Nigerian economy. I've learned not to listen too much to a loud mouth and a faster talker. The noise some oil thieves made since early last year up to this moment were only meant to demonize a woman who sacrifices her many night sleeps and the laughter in a family dinner just to exorcise the nation of the greed of a few. I followed the debates and consultations building up to the removal of oil subsidy, and one thing was common almost every participant. They all agreed that oil subsidy was killing the poor and enriching a few rich. But the problem was, how would it go? Those who sponsored the protest and those mal-informed youths who participated in it claimed they were fighting for the poor and I wonder how they've not closed down Nigeria because of the high cost of Kerosine (a commodity used by the real poor). Even the govs who endorsed the subsidy removal could not face the heat when it came. But this brave lioness stood!

Tolexander: will it increase the amount of crude oil produced per day in nigeria or decrease the pump price?

Congrats woman!

I've learned from experience that when a human being is desperate for a thing they can become either so aggressive or so humble but as soon as they get what they want and the pain of the want wanes they seem to forget too soon. Ember months used to be the period that records the highest cases of domestic fire incidents in this country. That used to be due to people buying and storing petrol around their homes for use during the yuletide festivities as the commodity was harder than a goldmine. Today is Dec. 9th no rumour of impending fuel scarcity (artificial or real) and you walk or drive into a filling station and you collect what you want without any stress whatsoever. In fact, most of the stations are running promos this Christmas season. I tell you solemnly, Nigeria may never have an administration like this again in its history if it doesn't take time.

That's the inconsiderable state the middle class relegates the afflicted and helpless poor to.

When I was Union leader incharge of negotiating Salary increase for workers under my jurisdiction, I decided to negotiate on same pro rata instead of percentage increase. It took the rampage of Junior staff to survive the hard criticism on Union Leaders.

It's just pathetic

It probably wont but one thing it's sure to increase is the blood pressure of some e-rats we can do without.

Kudos to the GEJ administration. No man can deny solid proof of performance. Though a strong supporter of The GEJ administration, the criticism the president is attracting is due to his romance with corruption. I dont see any reason why Stella Oduah should still be a minister after she stepped out of line and purchased those bullet proof cars. If she cannot honourably resign, then she should be fired honourably. Though she is performing, no body is indispensible. Mr. President, take a tough stand on corruption. The pix is for APC

Rat poison Alert! Rat poison Alert! Rat poison Alert!
This post just brought about acute shortage of rat poison, as notable e-rats, e-rodents and e-nematode have gone on AWOL.

It goes without saying that Jonathan's administration is favoured with well over 80% of very high performing members. Most of the ministers and Directors seem to be holding their track tight.
Talking about Stella that you just brought up, I think she's not sacked for a few reason among others:
1) There's no prove that she "forced" the NCAA to buy those cars as alleged;
2) The siad cars were contained in the budgett as evidence from the documents we've seen. It's not my fault that the HoR didn't see where it was squeezed in after it had early been rejected. But the report had said it wasn't captured in the budget of the agency for 2013:
3) The report had alleged that the cars were bought for her whereas the cars were registered in the name of the agency. Amaechi sold the Rivers state gov't jet to the gov't of Cross River and bought a private jet. And refued to register it in the name of RSG (today he's enjoying e-applause on NL--not that this justifies corruption if Stella was complicit);
4) The political side of this whole saga. If she's sacked then the noisy and noosy opposition and their whistle-blower have won. This, too, isn't a good reason to retain a corrupt official. But it does appear that our Yoruba bothers took that case too personal and frontal.
Enough of Stella. We're talking about Dieziani, the second best thing that has happened to the oil sector since after the discovery of palm kernel oil...lol

Haters please find the nearest transformer




Jonathan till 2019....

The Nigeria Finance minister came 2nd in the IMF election and therefore she's the 1st runner-up and not 2nd runner-up. Thanks.

Congrats to DAM and Nigeria. This slot belongs to Nigeria and not the minister. If GEJ reshuffles his cabinet and appoint a new minister of petroleum, the new minister automatically becomes the Alternate President.

She cannot use her position to increase Nigeria's voting right, and she does not have a vote in her individual capacity as the President. The 'Conference' which is the supreme authority and consists of delegations headed by Petroleum Ministers operate on a principle of 'Unanimity and One Member State, One Vote. Nigeria is also not one of the founding members, so we do not have 'Concurring Vote' when the organization wants to admit a new member.

This isn't our first time also, Nigeria/Rilwan Lukman served as OPEC President for 8 consecutive terms(from 1986-1994), before he was elected as OPEC's Secretary General. All Member States have all had their turns as President of OPEC(election is just mere formality).

This is the kind of good news I like to read, kudos and a big congratulation to Diezani for a well deserved honour! Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, may you live long as your administration keep putting us on world map for good, you are working, haters are dying what more can we wish for!

We cannot be deceived by your subtle attempt to reduce the significance of this development. Fact is, Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Allison-Madueke, has become the FIRST woman to be appointed President in the history of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).

Sincere 9gerian:

** Allison-Madueke is first female OPEC President

Monday, 09 December 2013 00:18

SOPURUCHI ONWUKA

Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Allison-Madueke, has raised the Nigerian flag higher in the international arena, having become the first woman to be appointed President in the history of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).

Mrs. Diezani Allison-Madueke, who was appointed OPEC’s Alternate President for 2014 at the group’s meeting in Vienna, Austria is expected to become the next President of the group by 2015 when the substantive president is billed to step down.

The appointment of Mrs. Allison-Madueke as alternate president of the group was one of the key decisions of the group’s 164th meeting, changing the face of the exporters’ group which is dominated by Islamic countries.
Mrs. Allison-Madueke started altering stereotype in OPEC when she also became the first female minister to lead a country delegation to the group’s general meeting. She has also remained dominant in the group’s decisions and positions on global oil market supply.
