I really think you are a KID. I told you so yterday, and you kinda confirmed it today.

If you had any Sense you wud have known that the 3 of them said similar things within same time period (you may want add what Amaechi and that 'OLODO' Senator said about 'missing' Excess Fund and #500billion SURE-P Fund) means that we are only seeing a Co-ordinated move by a Group of very FRUSTRATED Old Power Mongers/Hangers who are seeing themselves been pushed aside in an evolving New Power Order and in predictable Desperation are clinging to 'dear life' by playing their last card NOW. If you were the thinking-kind, you wud have known quite Easily that ALL of their Allegations, particularly that bother on corruption, are all mere 'Air' with no foundations at all (and I wud love for you to take me up on any of them); and are meant not for truth but to create enough Headlines and hopefully (for them) create the environment to perpetuate their power-grabbing intentions. If you were Perceptive, you wud have known that there is a very very serious DANGER lurking at the doorstep, presently.

You then just might be sober and reflective. But here you are begging for 'likes' over such a very serious issue.

For the THINKING Types who may want to get a feel of what is really happening, see a comment I made earlier today on another Corruption made by Premium Times yterday night posted by e-Gorillla, which is part of the co-ordinated Desperate onslaught against the President for Raw Power whicslipping away.
Plz, Note the very clear errors(wrong premise) that were UNASHAMEABLY used by these Power Mongers, and ask yrself WHY?? Then make up yr mind after reading this, if you like, (that was not my intention anyways), but atleast Reflect on all d Info on every side.

http://premiumtimesng.com/news/151202-exclusive-jonathan-alison-madueke-okonjo-iweala-culpable-in-diversion-of-n8-trillion-oil-funds.html/
PREMIUM TIMES: Even so, when compared with prevailing data from different government agencies, the figure admitted by the CBN is still lesser than what Nigeria should earn from oil sales.
While the bank said its computation, based on pre-shipment details, showed that Nigeria sold N10.3 trillion worth of oil in 19 months, PREMIUM TIMES’ analysis shows the government should rather realize N10.6 trillion in the first 10 months of 2013-Janaury to October-alone.

PREMIUM TIMES’s estimates is based on the government’s data of daily production average of 2.11 million barrels of crude, sold at an average price of $105.84 per barrel.
If multiplied and converted to naira, the government should have realized N10. 6 trillion in 10 months alone.

But in that period, total oil receipts data provided by the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation, claimed between January and October, the government made N5.8 trillion.

Also, our estimates show that the government has not only lied or misled Nigerians about its total receipts from oil sales, but is also deceitful about its earnings in the contentious Excess Crude Account.

The ECA holds the difference between the real market price for oil and the government’s projection in the national budget yearly.

For 2013, the government approved rate is $79 per barrel (called benchmark for oil price), meaning any raise in price at the international market, will go into the ECA.

For most of the year, oil sold as much as $112 and $114 per barrel. At a conservative rate of $105 per barrel, the government should have realized $26 as difference per barrel for the Excess Crude Account.

Calculated at 2.11 million barrels per day, that should amount to $17.3 billion (about N2.695trillion) earned as excess crude revenue from crude oil exports as of October 2013.

But the government claims it generated only N986.6 billion in the Excess Crude Account

For those persons 'eating' this thrash, this is what the EDITORS of PT allowed through their 'Paper':

Their 'Analysis' was based on the Assumption of an Average Oil Sales of 2.11millionbpd and Average Price of $105 per barrel. According to them, using these figures for a 10 months period, Jan-Oct 2013, Nigeria 'Earned' (their very words) #10.6trillion from crude oil sales, while NNPC only remitted #5.8billion to the Federation Account within the period (so the difference of #4.8trillion has been 'STOLEN' or 'DIVERTED'); just as $17.3billion (#2.695trillion) was 'earned' as Excess Crude Oil, although the Govt remitted #986.6billion (so the difference #1.708trillion has also been 'stolen' or 'diverted')!!

Here was the Mathematics used:
--- 2.11millionbpd * $105 per barrel * 30days * 10months * #158= #10.5trillion Oil SOLD (equivalent in their own mind to money 'earned' by Nigeria).

--- 2.11mbpd * $26 Excess per barrel(ie $105- $97) * 30days * 10months= $16.5billion (approximately $17.3billion they used since am using 30days per month).

So PT wud have us believe that Crude Oil, at least the Nigerian Oil, just magically produces and sells itself just like that, kwa (maybe that's why it is called 'Sweet Oil')? PT wud have us believe that All the Oil Companies in Nigeria (Shell, Chevron, Total, Oando, Sahra Energy, ExxonMobil, Halliburton, NNPC itself, etc) are a bunch of Father Xmases who love Nigeria so much that they not only produce/sell our crude for us for FREE without adding the COST of production nor do they Share from the Oil sales. Such Wonderful set of Companies in deed!! May they be blessed, Always wink!!

OK, enough of Clowning around; lets get back to Reality now:
When a Country produces and sells Oil to the International market, the money that buyers pay (like the #10.6trillion above) is just the SELLING PRICE. There is a COST associated with producing and selling every barrel of Oil sold (Cost of Exploration, Licensing, Exploitation, Producing, Storage, Transportation, Running cost, Labour, buying of sophisticated Equipment/Platforms, Insurance, Security, etc, etc, etc). This COST is subtracted from the SELLING PRICE; the Resulting Difference been the SHAREABLE PROFIT. It is only this PROFIT that is SHARED bw the Govt and the Oil Companies in the ratio 70/60: 30/40 (depend

The dullard can not say more than what he just said, I bet he's scared because all his hiden secretes are filtering to the general public and it's because folks like OBJ got listening posts in his admin from top to bottom and even inside GEJ's bedroom gan sef.

This is very inevitable since they've been trying to get this dullards attention with all the dirtiness going around the country and his administration, but the dullard dug his own grave and the fact that the i.diot not only love and welcomes corruption, but also insults and attacks even people like OBJ, folks within his own party and regular Nigerians is not helping his sorry asss. The foolish clown picks up fight with everybody over the dumbest stuff as if he's invisible and untouchable.


Too bad they didn't tell then the clueless dullards that though he's the president, but folks like OBJ and IBB still sabi every thing that's going on in this country, they know where all the dead bodies are buried, they know he's next move, they know what he's hiding, they know who is doing what in Nigerian and generally everything about Nigeria, they know everything about his ASO ROCK, they've infiltrated his administration from top to bottom, I'm even sure they hear him when he snore and when shepo farts. Bottom line, his secretes are not safe and he's not inside some secured aso rock, he's invisible and folks like OBJ are on him like white on rice 24/7.

The gig is up...

[quote author=Akpangbon]u well so?[/quote) it is like D devil complaining of too much sins in D world. OBJ is D fountain, mentor and legacy of D new corruption in D democratic republic of D 20 century. He should remove his untraceable fangs of corruption frm D economy of nigeria, and see who will nt do likewise. To start with Obj, who was ur minister of petroleum? Is there anything as worst in corruption than what u did. U were president and treasurer at D same time. 2nd, D whole PHCN issues is nt up to $10billion, where is ur or our $16B? Whn u said 2008, power will be stable, i was nt happy becus i taught Christ would have come by that time, but i seems like a dream that we have 2008 passed and u didnt add a wire to our grid. The pole u erected and site u sandfilled that was shown in Tv during probe of ur illusional power project, u might have also sold them. Funsho kumplokun that u connieve to repair D refineries and he blowed grammer and charisma aftr u guys loot through that means, we havnt seen any change. D problem of nigerians is that once we find food and eat, we sleep and who dies or lives is on his own. My question to u Obj, wht will u do with ur much unmonitorable loot, records of loot u cant keep? Ur children cant or dont need half of wht u can recall of u loot. U just cant start condemning corruption, whn u left D road in potholes, lack of power, falling planes and murders, gross election rigging, high import to even tooth pick. If u have done anything, did we pull it down. Pls if u want to show us what u did, simply use line of sentence a line of sentence to say wht u did, e.g. I brough telecommunication plus high tarrif and collected 1niara till Jonathans time. I brought total power nigeria, ... becus whn u ppl talk, we get much confuse with ur incohorent words put backward and forward.

Sycophant taharqa, no need to shout yourself hoarse.
The contentious issue here is that money was diverted in contravention of laid down guidelines and, since we have no credible explanation other than the oblique response provided an NNPC mouthpiece, no amount of body contortions on your part would douse the calls for an inquiry.

Calm down before you go popping a vein, as this remains a matter of public interest grin

Everybody acting saint this days in Nigeria. But they did nothing to fight corruption while they had the opportunity. Corruption is endemic in the country and can only be fought systematically which i believe GEJ is doing. Privatize those sectors where corruption has grown into a Monster and see it fizzle away. (E.G PHCN) and recently, the proposed privatization of NNPC. Let me borrow the word of V, the author of MAFIA MANAGER "Opportunity makes the thief; the thief who has no opportunity to steal considers himself an honest man".

i thought Abati said Mr President has directed all aides not to respond to OBJ, while his Abati now usingthe folowing words :

“The President himself will, at the appropriate time, offer a full personal response to the most reckless, baseless, unjustifiable and indecorous charges levied against him and his administration by the former Head of State,” the spokesman said.

“We however find it highly unbecoming, mischievous and provocative that a letter written by a former Head of State and respected elder statesman to President Jonathan has been deliberately leaked to the mass media in a deplorable effort to impugn the integrity of the President and denigrate his commitment to giving Nigeria the best possible leadership,” the statement said.

“While many patriotic, objective and well-meaning Nigerians have already condemned the leaked letter as self-serving, hypocritical, malicious, indecent, and very disrespectful of the highest office in the land, President Jonathan has directed that none of his aides or any government official should join issues with Chief Obasanjo over it.”

Serves OBJ right

When he saw quality leaders from the South South like Donald Duke but chose to put a clueless Retardeen who failed miserably in every political office he has ever been whether as Deputy governor or Governor, to be the vice president of this country

OBJ knew if he chose a performer, within a yr OBJs ineptitude in governance would be exposed so he chose a man on his deathbed (Umaru are you alive) and a drunkard who due to perpetual drunkenness, cant locate his own asss with his two hands to be Vice president

A man Whose main inspiration comes from bottles after bottles of hard liquor

So as bad as OBj was, he still has someone who could surpass him in poor governance

OBJ wanted people to look back at his admin and still find reasons to commend him
