Politics / Read Why Gen. Buhari Will Divide NNPC Into Two by 240naija(m): 8:41pm On Jul 25, 2015
Nigeria's President, Muhammadu Buhari has
revealed what he intends to do with the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation. President Buhari
said the national oil company will be divided into
two successor entities under his administration.
President Buhari revealed to journalists in
Washington DC that the decision would form one
of the key steps of his reform of the country’s oil
and gas sector.
While one of the successor companies will be an
independent regulator, the President said the
second would operate as an investment vehicle
for the country.
He said, “I am reforming the oil and gas sector,
breaking up the NNPC into two parts – the first
will become an independent regulator for the
sector, while the second will act as an
investment
vehicle for the country.”
Buhari also said there would be a new bid round
for oil blocks in the country, adding that he
favours transparent auction process.
“I will also end political control of the awarding
of
drilling and exploration rights by introducing a
system of independent, transparent auctioning
for
licences,” the President said.
Senate President Bukola Saraki had, recently,
described the NNPC as the engine room of
corruption.
He lamented that none of the perpetrators of
illegal deals in the corporation had so far been
apprehended and brought to justice.
“You hardly see where people who are the real
engine room – which is the NNPC – where most
of these corruption cases on oil are, being put on
trial,” he said.
Similarly, Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir
el-Rufai, had last week called for the setting up
of
another national oil firm as he argued that the
present NNPC would kill Nigeria if it was allowed
to continue running.
“If you don’t kill the NNPC, it will kill Nigeria,”
el-
Rufai said.
Buhari, as part of the ongoing reform of several
strata of the country, said his administration
would merge the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission and the Independent Corrupt
Practices and other Related Offences
Commission
into one strong and more effective anti-graft
agency.
He said, “Corruption is one of the top three
issues
facing Nigeria, along with insecurity and
unemployment. We must act to kill corruption or
corruption will kill Nigeria. I am determined to
lead that fight.
“My government is already taking several steps
to
cut out the cancer of corruption that has been
eating away at the state for so long.
“We are reorganising the existing plethora of
anti-
corruption bodies into single powerful agency
that
will have the focus, power and budget to clamp
down on corruption at the federal and state
levels.”
The President said ministers would no longer
have power to award contracts while announcing
the introduction of a new system of plea
bargaining to encourage looters of the
government money and oil thieves to return the
people’s stolen commonwealth.
He said, “I have already acted to remove political
control over awarding of contracts away from
ministers who use them to get political favours
and kickbacks.
“I will introduce a new system of plea bargain,
that will allow those who have stolen assets and
funds to return them – but if they do not take
that opportunity we will pursue them through the
courts.”
President Buhari insisted that his administration
would not relent in asking foreign countries,
including the US, to help in returning stolen funds
that are sitting in private accounts abroad, but
rightfully belonging to the people of Nigeria.
The President also lamented that the country
had
become over-dependent on oil because of the
incompetence and corruption of government that
concentrated on “how best to steal oil revenues
instead of how best to use our oil windfalls to
invest in a modern, growing economy.”
Rather than continue to depend on oil, Buhari
said
Nigeria must become a manufacturing giant.
“I will not be satisfied until the label ‘Made in
Nigeria’ is as common globally, as the label
‘Made in China,'” he added.

Politics / Argentine Politicians Breastfeeds Baby During Parliamentary Session (photos) by 240naija(m): 3:40pm On Jul 25, 2015
Victoria Donda Perez's eight-month-old daughter
was hungry while she was attending a meeting
in
Argentine National Congress earlier this month
so
she whipped out her breasts and fed her in the
full glare of everyone. She is being hailed as a
role-model for women and the picture had further
opened up a conversation on public
breastfeeding.
What do you think? How many women would do
same? Some women said that they would rather
go into the car or restroom to breastfeed their
children.

Nairaland / General / Magic! Man Sighted In Ikeja Sitting In Mid- Air (photos) by 240naija(m): 12:44pm On Jul 19, 2015
Is there the remotest possibility that someone can defy gravity by sitting suspended in the air with no visible sign of support or it is just illusion? This and many more must have been the questions running through the minds of passersby in the Ikeja area of Lagos State yesterday when they came across the man in the photos sitting on nothing for more than 30 minutes. See the photos and tell if it is possible or we're just looking at the work of a good magician.

Paul allegedly witnessed a road crash incident in Lorain, Ohio, which is about 30 miles from Cleveland and instead of extending a helping hand to the victims who were mostly children, he pulled out his cellphone and started recording the event while the victims battled for their lives.

Politics / Cameroon Bans Use Of Muslim Veil After Series Of Boko Haram Attacks by 240naija(m): 2:13pm On Jul 16, 2015
The governor of far north region of Cameroon,
Midjiyawa Bakari has banned the use of Burqa, a
face covering apparel worn by Muslim women.
The Governor said the ban is as a result of last
Sunday's suicide attack carried out by two
women wearing Burqa.
Announcing the decision yesterday July 15th, the
governor said
“I took this measure because of the security
situation prevailing in the region. No one
suspected them and that is why we have
ordered women to stop wearing veils and the
police and military to arrest all women
wearing veils,” he said.
Last month, Chad banned the use of full-face
Muslim veil throughout the country due to
increased female suicide bombing attack.

Health / Inhalable Ebola Vaccine Discovered by 240naija(m): 12:54pm On Jul 14, 2015
Who says an Ebola vaccine has to be injected?
Certainly not.
Researchers at the University of Texas Medical
Branch (UTMB), Galveston have discovered an
inhalable vaccine that can protect rhesus
macaque monkeys against severe illness and
death when they were exposed to the Ebola
virus.
Rhesus Macaques are among the most
widespread primates after humans and are the
monkeys most widely used in biomedical
research.
Medics in full gear to avoid contracting the virus
Findings published in the Journal of Clinical
Investigation suggests that the linings of the
airways may be an important point of entry for
the Ebola virus into the body.
Alexander Bukreyev, a professor of virology at the
University said the study demonstrates
successful
aerosol vaccination against a viral hemorrhagic
fever for the first time.
