Even though these pictures are very old and this issue has been trashed in the past, I will like to state as follows;

Are Niger Deltans supposed to work a day in their lives ? Niger Deltans are supposed to own oil wells, and live limousine lifestyles, and own Lamboghini.

Any parasite that doesnt like this, should go back into his farm and resurrect their dying cocoa plantation and groundnut pyramid.

No sensible person will support Jonathan's government.

And for some people to vote these criminals for continuity shows the criminal minds they all have. We know them. We know their antecedents.

Stewpid people..
......and a useless Tribe. The moment buhari fails to prosecute this woman, I'll start campaigning against his government.

So, the 10 billion naira she spent to use an ordinary jet is of her own personal or families wealth.

The majority of the idi.ots opening their odious mouths here may not know that the kids of Diezani were already born into wealth before their mother became the oil minister. Diezani is the wife of a former Nigerian Chief Of Naval Staff, ADMIRAL ALLISON MADUEKE from Enugu state.

ADMIRAL MADUEKE has equally been governor of a number of states in Nigeria. On his retirement invested in the Oil and Gas sector and has been a major player in the past twenty years. Princess Diezani did not start to enjoy wealth from GEJ's administration even as her own family is stinkingly wealthy. Enuff of all these nonsense!
which wealth? R/Admiral Madueke wa almost a broke ass before Diezani became minister. Don't ask how I know.

You need my opinion? I have always been of the opinion that NOBODY should enjoy at the expense of others. However, I get appalled by the hypocritical response we get from pro-APC member when it bothers on alleged corruption by some APC members like Saraki, Tinubu, Obj, Atiku, Germade, Umana Umana, Amaechi etc. Same yardstick should be used for all. We shouldn't be hypocritical.

Personal details
BornDecember 6, 1960

Diezani K. Alison-Madueke (born 6 December 1960) is the first female President of OPEC, elected at the 166th OPEC Ordinary meeting in Vienna on 27 November 2014.[1] She was Nigeria's minister of transportation on 26 July 2007. She was moved to Mines and Steel Development in 2008, and in April 2010 was appointed Minister of Petroleum Resources.

Background

Diezani K. Agama was born in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. Her father was Chief Frederick Abiye Agama. She studied architecture in England and then at Howard University in the United States.[2] She graduated from Howard with a Bachelor's degree on 8 December 1992.[3] She returned to Nigeria and joined Shell Petroleum Development Corporation that year. In 2002, she attended Cambridge University for her MBA.[2] In April 2006, Shell appointed her its first female Executive Director in Nigeria.[4]

Since 1999 she has been married to Admiral Allison Madueke (retired), one-time Chief of Naval Staff who was at various times governor of Imo and Anambra State.[2] she has a son Chimeze Madueke In September 2011 Alison-Madueke was awarded an honorary Doctorate in Management Sciences by the Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna.[5]

Federal cabinet positions

Cynthia Madueke is her daughter live in so many countries,Diezani Alison-Madueke has held three significant positions in the Nigerian federal government. She was appointed Transport Minister in July 2007. On 23 December 2008, she was named as Minister of Mines and Steel Development.[6] After Vice-President Goodluck Jonathan became acting President in February 2010, he dissolved the cabinet on 17 March 2010, and swore in a new cabinet on 6 April 2010 with Alison-Madueke as Minister for Petroleum Resources.[7]

Minister of Petroleum Resources

As Minister of Petroleum Resources, Alison-Madueke has pledged to transform Nigeria's oil and gas industry so that all Nigerians benefit.[8]

In April 2010, President Goodluck Jonathan signed the Nigerian Content Act, which aims to increase the percentage of petroleum industry contracts that are awarded to indigenous Nigerian businesses - a reaction to the domination of the sector by foreign operators.[9]

One of the most controversial policies introduced under Alison-Madueke is the government's plan to remove state subsidies on fuel prices. Alison-Madueke has supported the discontinuation of the subsidy on the grounds that it "poses a huge financial burden on the government, disproportionately benefits the wealthy, [and] encourages inefficiency, corruption and diversion of scarce public resources away from investment in critical infrastructure."[10]


Alison-Madueke is the first woman to hold the position of Minister of Petroleum Resources in Nigeria, and in October 2010 she became the first woman to head a country delegation at the annual OPEC conference. She was also the first female Minister of Transportation, and the first woman to be appointed to the board of Shell Petroleum Development Company Nigeria.[11] On the 27th of November, 2014 she got elected as the first female President of OPEC [12]

On working in male-dominated sectors, Alison-Madueke said she warned the young women she mentored while at Shell to "change their mode of thinking."[13]

Controversy

In June 2008 Alison-Madueke was subject to a Senate probe after it emerged that as Transport Minister she had paid 30.9 billion naira ($263 million) to contractors between 26 and 31 December 2007. She is said to be worth over a billion naira .

However, she has never been charged or tried for these allegations and has strongly denied any wrongdoing. Diezani Allison was alleged to have spent billions of dollars inappropriately on private jets whilst many Nigerians suffer. She also alleged to have been having an affair with President Jonathan[14] and responsible for missing $20 billion dollars. She is also widely accused of reckless spending of Govt funds. [15] [16] [17] [18] In September 2008 there was an unsuccessful attempt to kidnap Alison-Madueke at her house in Abuja with her son Chimezie Madueke.[19]

In October 2009, the Senate of Nigeria indicted Diezani Alison-Madueke and recommended prosecution for the alleged transfer of 1.2 billion naira into the private account of a toll company without due process and in breach of concession agreement. [20] However, the allegations have never been taken to law, and the Minister maintains her innocence.[21]

Graduates are roaming about the streets........even with "first class" or any class of degree that was obtained with many years of sleepless nights in school characterized with suffering. After all these, FG will now tell us(youths) to go back to Agriculture or invest in farming or useless SURE-P simply because of joblessness,graduates are everywhere and society is pushing them to commit crimes.....while their children are flexing on private jet or yatch or,spending money like bastards.
.........I know my fellow Nairalanders will hate me for this statement........
REVOLUTION IS COMING VERY SOON.....Naija youths are very angry cos things cannot just continue like this. That is the more reason why politics is useless because when they get there, masses will always be at the receiving end.

^^^You guys deceit, double-standards, hypocrisy and hatred is the stuff of legends walahi!

You're asking where the Maduekes' money came from? It came from the same place Tinubus' billions came from! Yes, Tinubu....the chiseling little crook.....the man who prior to 1999 didn't have two kobos to rub together but who is now so filthy rich on the back of Lagosians wealth that he and his generations yet unborn can afford never to work for the rest of their lives!

If Danguma, IBB, Abacha and OBJ can be worth billions of dollars, why can the Maduekes'? Aren't they all the same retired Generals?
