13. And a certain noble man by the name Audu the son of Ogbe declared unto the leaders of the camps that contended the throne with the king's camp saying: "howbeit thinkest thou in thy heart to prevail against the king's camp if comest thou not together as one?
14. Harken to my voice this day, come let us reason together that we may enlarge our coast and verily, verily I say unto thee, the throne of the kingdom shall be delivered into our hands.
15. Of the camps that came together that day to form the APC were ACN from the west, ANPP from the North and a part of APGA from the East of the kingdom. Even the unhappy in the camp of PDP crossed over into the camp too.

And Buhari was anointed king over the kingdom.
18. And it troubled the son of Abubakar in his heart that he was rejected as king again. But he saith in his heart, I shall be of long suffering and remain in this camp for I shall ascend unto the throne after the fourth year of king Buhari.

Wasn't it on this platform that it was reported that the Polish government had declared intention to buy Nigerian crude...
Buhariiiiii what have you done this time oooh!...
Poland’s largest oil refiner, state-run PKN Orlen, has bought its first ever Nigerian crude oil cargo expected to arrive in mid-October, the Polish company’s chief executive told Reuters amid Poland’s ongoing efforts to cut its reliance on Russian oil.
Nigeria may not benefit from rising oil prices due to petrol subsidies, the Nigerian Natural Resource Charter (NNRC), a United Kingdom funded organisation, has disclosed.
In a message which the NNRC issued through its twitter handle @NigeriaNRC yesterday, it explained that while oil prices continue to rise to new levels, Nigeria will unlikely benefit from it because it has also continued to maintain subsidy on petrol consumption. NNRC: Petrol Subsidy May Deny Nigeria Benefits of High Oil Prices
adioolayi: Time to think deeply and go back to Agriculture. Sentiments aside, PMB lead government is on the right track as far as AGRICULTURE is concerned.
On the right track? If it truly were why is there anxiety over lack of buyers? Why have the figures for income from agriculture not improved? Where are the improved infrastructure and storage facilities to enhance agriculture? Where is the security apparatus for farmers who have abandoned their jobs because of rampaging herdsmen? Make una take am easy dey lie abeg!
The landing cost of the Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) being imported into the country has risen to at least N205 per litre on the back of the recent increase in global oil prices, putting more pressure on the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. NNPC faces pressure as petrol landing cost hits N205
Indications emerged yesterday that the sale of Nigeria crude oil in the international market is currently facing challenges due to surging production of United States shale crude, which experts say has similar geological properties.
According to loading programmes compiled by Bloomberg, about 25 out of 60 Nigerian cargoes scheduled for October export remain unsold, while trading will switch to November shipments next week when new programmes are released.
Another factor said to be impacting negatively on the country's crude sales is the stoppage of crude imports from Nigeria by the US, which used to be the highest importer of Nigeria's crude.
