The truth is I do not know neither do you

Let us not get into silly assumptions or beer parlour analysis

What we need is facts not assumptions

This is a matter that can be easily audited forensically by examining therecords and bank accounts of all the petrol stations in the country

Mr. Fuel is my business and I am stating it even more clearer than Saraki that we don't consume anywhere near 50m litres, daily. How many trucks do load from the depots,daily.
Calabar is second after Lagos in terms of depot facilities. How many trucks leave the depot daily and how many of the depots are operational ... Over thirty depots in Calabar and not more than 4 has PMS

Let Saraki take a calculator and visit a filling station where God Is Good, Young Shall Grow,ABC,LIBRA Motors are fueling their buses then He should come back and tell us if truly Nigerians are not consuming up to that amount of Petrol daily...

Let me school you here, the landing cost of premium motor spirit ( PMS) also call Petrol is 172 Naira per litre ( according to NNPC 2018), while here in Nigeria, petrol are sold at 143 Naira per litre,now 172-143=29 Naira being paid as subsidy per litre, 29x50.32 millions litres being consumed a day in Nigeria =146.157billion Naira a month. Now multiply that figures by 12 months and see what Nigeria is spending on fuel subsidy.
Now, the criminality here is the inflated consumption figures per day. In 2014, Ngozi Iweala told us Nigerians consumed 30million liters per day when the economy was booming, Now when "Mr integrity " become the minister it was increased to 50.33 millions litres a day. That's the difference of 20.33million litres ✖ 29naira = 389.57 million Naira is being looted on daily basis by the ministry supervised by " Mr integrity.

5Ebiscoo:
Less than two months before the 2019 presidential election, the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, has taken a swipe at the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led federal government, accusing it of lying to Nigerians that the country consumes 50 million litres of premium motor spirit (PMS) daily. Saraki said the claim was criminal. He also accused the government of scaring away investors by creating a climate of fear and implementing poor economic policies.

Saraki, formerly an ally of President Muhammadu Buhari and member of the ruling APC, defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) following what he called “witch-hunts and political persecution” by the ruling party. He told some editors in an interview that the federal government’s anti-corruption crusade was an attempt to hoodwink the masses.

According to the senate president, “Under this government, we went from fuel consumption of 30 million litres a day to over 50 million litres per day. Where is this consumption taking place? This is criminal. What I am saying is that if we could be so hard on Jonathan that claims to be doing 30 million litres per day, now, they are debiting us with over 50 million litres per day.

“Nobody will tell you that we can consume more than 25 million litres per day. Calculate the amount of money that we are losing. It is not appropriated, that terminology is just a means to cover that transaction. Instead of reversing it, the president said it should be appropriated for and now we are coming back for it to be under the budget.”

Saraki, who is also the director-general of Atiku Presidential Campaign Council, the 2019 election campaign organisation of the PDP presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, said the president ignored repeated counsels he had given him regarding an alleged oil subsidy fraud being perpetrated under his nose.

“If you look at it, that this subsidy must continue, then let it be efficient, instead of doing that the NNPC wrote the government saying that without putting the money in the budget, they can take the money straight from revenue, called cost recovery. This is fraudulent, it is illegal. There is nothing we did not tell Mr President that this cost recovery is wrong.”

Unlike former President Goodluck Jonathan, who adjusted his policies when corrected, Saraki stated that Buhari saw him as an enemy and attacked him as such.

Recalling what happened to him and others then in the APC, the PDP stalwart said, “Go and look at 2016 when we were in a recession. I called a debate and we wrote the president, listing things that he was yet to do. I will give you an example: we said we should see how we can raise equity; he (Buhari) attacked us. They said we wanted to sell refineries to our friends – you can remember. If you see the 2019 budget, the President is saying he is expecting the sum of N810 billion from the restructuring of the JVC – exactly what we had said at that time.”

Furthermore, the former governor believed the Buhari regime was stifling economic growth through its opaque economic blueprint, and urged the president and his economic team to open up investments to the private sector.
He declared that the organised private investors do not have confidence in the president’s commitment to provide a level playing field. Saraki asserted that while ordinary Nigerians would cast their votes to elect a president next year, the investors had already made up their minds.

Saraki affirmed that only the PDP presidential candidate could bring back the investors’ confidence in the country.
“You can harass politicians but investors’ money can only go to where there is safety,” he stated. “As long as the private investor does not have confidence (in the government), things will be difficult due to the fact that the right decisions are not taken by the government. I keep saying that ordinary Nigerians will go and vote on February 16, 2019. But the business community have voted already – that is the truth.”

Speaking further, the senate president said, “Unless we bring that confidence in our economy it will be difficult. That is why for those of us that found ourselves on the other side of the divide, we are saying that for Nigerians to move this country forward, we must do the right thing and vote for our candidate, Atiku Abubakar, because that is what will bring confidence in the private sector to invest.”

According to him, Nigeria is not like Saudi Arabia, which has enough funds to fund any project. He urged Nigerians to vote out the incumbent president.

“We don’t have that money. There are some countries, like Saudi Arabia, those kinds of countries that can fund their projects successfully. We cannot. Where is the money and who is going to bring out the money? Who will bring out that money? Do they (investors) have confidence in the government? The answer is no. Then, the government has to go, if the government does not go, poverty will continue,” Saraki stated.

He economic disaster lurked if Nigerians chose to keep Buhari in power, as it will further scare away the few investors staking their resources in Nigeria.

“Because oil price is at this level, it’s not going to move up. So, we already know the revenues. The question with this revenue is: will it bring the needed investment? The answer is no. Where will the money come from? It has to come from somewhere else. This is why they have been taking loans, which is not good for us, it should come from investments,” Saraki said.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) had in a report last week said Nigerians consumed a total of 479 million litres of petrol from January to September 2018, representing an average of 53.2 million litres daily for nine months. NNPC’s operational and financial results for September 2018 also showed that the country consumed 80 million litres of petrol per day in March 2018, up from the 41 million litres consumed daily in December 2017.

You suggested to buhari to sell refineries , Buhari said you want to sell it to your friends , obviously that's the truth , the NEPA,NITEL and co that you sold whats the outcome ?? instead of giving you chance to loot crude oil , black gold of the world , he approved 38 licences for modular refineries , all those your friends are free to invest in that


and bros, your waka nor pass abuja estate reach house where you be oga , you cannot understand the hustle of pepper / onion / yam sellers who travel from east to north and west to earn a living

When NITEL was sold, the FG made a cool $1bn in licensing fees and gave us MTN, glo, Airtel, Swift, Spectranet, etc. Which in turn created more than 110million mobile connections and millions of internet users. Not to talk of millions of high paying jobs created in the Telecoms industry directly and indirectly. Need I go on?

NITEL was in shambles before being sold, and less than 500,000 lines were connected with all the meagre revenues being stolen by civil servants and politicians. Let's not because of politics forget this facts. NEPA privatization was poorly done, doesn't mean that it can't be fixed if there was enough political will.

how can Nigerian youths be this gullible?

In your haste to insult Saraki just to justify the day light robbery, you ended up sounding more foolish.

The headline said PMS ( premium motor spirit), which we know isn't used in Plants rather they use AGO (diesel), all heavy duty trucks uses diesel also while we have buses and cars that uses diesel, so that shaves off from the total vehicles or lest say your assumed 11million vehicles.

Remember diesel is already deregulated.

Still Where's the power
My post was about the privatization of the Telecom industry, and NITEL was "the telecom industry" prior to that so to speak.

Privatization of the power sector was poorly done, and still in it's teenage years, it can still be salvaged. Force DISCOS to distribute prepaid meters or liberalise it's private purchase, allow them to charge reasonable price for energy consumed, improve the transmission capabilities(or better still decentralize the grid. DO NOT forget that TCN is still government controlled.), crush the quasi monopolies of the DISCOs by introducing competition like in the UK where you can choose, and attract $$$ investments into power generation.

Those things require the political will to piss off some powerful people in other to get the desired result, including the "masses"who will have to probably pay more in the short term for energy consumed. And the current government is too unwilling or too clueless, too broke, too averse to private investment(but in love with debt undecided) to get those things done.

And selling a moribound and highly dysfunctional corporation with little in the way of useful industry assets and very slim chance of competing against the likes of Globacom and Airtel for $282m is a good deal for the Nigerian people if you ask me. And if those sales occur in 2015, you must not forget that Saraki and Atiku were in APC that time. It's OK to argue ideologically against privatisation of assets if you are a communist or socialist, but do not pretend as though those assets were delivering results before they were sold. Reality should, and must, always trump ideology.
