The Cross River chapter of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has banned the sale and purchase of kerosene by surface tanks in the state.

The new Caretaker Committee Chairman of the body in the state, Elder Edet Umana said the ban was necessary considering the incessant cases of kerosene explosion at homes, causing lost of lives and property.

Umana said: “I want to warn all our members that nobody should put kerosene (DPK) in a surface tank outside the filling stations. I want to know the area this problem is coming from so I can block it. I want the public to know that any kerosene selling outside filling stations and in surface tanks is not IPMAN product.


“Any filling station that has any incident about the DPK they are selling to customers, maybe a fire, the filling station is going to have problems with IPMAN. That is the way I am coming in. I want the public to know that if you buy kerosene in any surface tank, it is your own business. But if you buy in a filling station belonging to IPMAN, let me know the person. I don’t have any business with the surface tanks. Mine is for the filling stations.”

According to him, following the December 14 Supreme Court judgement, which confirm Elder Chinedu Okonkwo as the authentic National President of IPMAN in an appeal brought by Chief Obasi Lawson against Okonkwo and 10 others, the so called executive in the state led by Mr. Lawrence Agim is illegal.

He stated that the Okonkwo led national executive had earlier dissolved the Agim led executive and put in place a caretaker committee headed by him, hence, “the law enforcement agents should go out and arrest and prosecute these persons who are impersonating. All of us know that the law has to take effect any time any day.

Reacting to the judgement, Okonkwo said “those people going against the Supreme Court judgement are not my members but just miscreants.

If they were to be members, they will not contest the position of the law, which is very obvious, were the Supreme Court has finally brought to an end the tussle.

So what are they agitating for again, the ruling is very clear and it says the appeal lacks credit and its incompetent. My preliminary objection was sustained, and N2million was awarded as cost against them. It is a straight forward matter.”

On measures that may be taken against those flouting the Supreme Court judgement, Okonkwo said “there is law and order in the country and it will be reported to appropriate quarter for necessary action.

Now we have one IPMAN under my leadership and my assurance is that we will work with all relevant agencies of government with a view to ensuring steady supply of this products.

Good measure.

This man needs to learn how to communicate effectively and stop behaving like a tout. Enlighten people or better still engage professionals to drive his point home.

I thought we how have the Kungfu Ipman in Nigeria.[b][/b]

that is for your members only because you lack the constitutional powers to enforce it on the public. why go all the way to the supreme court over a leadership tussle? thieves.

the background of the story shows that he's just a tout.

Later some brainless yoots will start attacking the government , and to think this move is to save thier lives and properties they'd still complain

Let's see how it will work out

Power tussle in Africa is so brainless.

I think, for the most part, the issue of safety has been abused by surface tank DPK sellers. If you see the way women sellers treat kerosene at their houses, you will almost think they never light a match. And a man would sit beside her, smoking packs of cigarettes.
So for the most part, the move drives home his point.
Safety first.

He is a tout, bro. I know him as Edet woewoe. He is always restless even in personal discussion. Everything Na gregre and gragra

He is 100 percent street ... No refinement.

Dpk is not suppose to explode because of cigarettes or matchstick ... It is the tanks that brings the product to those women that is the issue ..
Having used it to convey PMS and not having the patience to allow time for air to either blow off and dry out the remainder of product in the discharge line , the drivers rush to load those dpk


Another is when the product is from the bunkering people ..those ones that vandalize government pipelines

You are contradicting yourself. You mean IPMAN should also not proactive?

So IPMAN is now DPR that regulates the sector, right?

No law empowered her...they can only suggest,after all kerosine (surface tank sellers) are not IPMAN member.

You are clearly what your ID says you are. It's been confirmed that he is 101% street.
He made zero point in his ranting.....just so you know.

brotherly, I know Edet much more than you do. Matter of fact, we were together yesterday close to Fiester Fries watching carnival. Yes, he's street and he has never denied that, but you can't deny the fact that he's making sense here.

The guy wasn't talking about what the Edet guy said but how he said it. Same thing you recognised when you said the bolded in your statement.
