P&ID. Who Is Michael Quinn? How He Swindled Nigeria With The Help Of Nigerians. by NGpatriot: 2:26pm On Sep 04, 2020
The Nigerian Government meets P&ID


For decades, oil companies simply flared the gas that escaped when they excavated crude oil from oilfields, resulting in an environmental and health crisis in the Niger Delta. In 2008, the government decided it would end this practice, and instead capture and refine the gas to produce electricity via gas-powered plants.

Despite being one of the premier oil & gas spots in the developing world, the government found few takers among international oil companies (IOCs) when it laid out its proposal. IOCs were sceptical about investing in the infrastructure required to capture, transport and refine the gas. Instead, thirteen small and virtually unknown companies were finally granted concessions for the project. One of these was P&ID. Where Nigeria’s trusted international energy partners feared to tread, an obscure company boldly ventured—in hindsight, perhaps the first sign that all was not as it seemed.

On paper, P&ID was an engineering and project management company. Its founders and principals, Michael Quinn and Brendan Cahill, both Irishmen, claimed to have over 60 years of combined experience of project management and execution in Nigeria.

In reality, P&ID was a shell company registered in the British Virgin Islands with no operational history. It did not even have a website.

We fell for some Irish swindlers and hustlers, P&ID was not an engineering company, not even a company at all, it was a company on paper created via a shell company registered in the British Virgin Islands with zero operational history or records of previous works.


Obviously, theyse swindlers colluded with some Nigerians to create this fake company to swindle us, now we are on the hook for billions which if paid, some Nigerians are going to take their cut.

The company didn't even have a website.

Did no one at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) google the company? How was the lack of a website, office address, number of employees and previous experience with deals like this ignored by the Nigerian government?

Well, you see, the deal (and subsequent case) was never really about P&ID; it’s always been about the men behind it. One of them, Michael Quinn, was known to have strong ties with senior government officials and even presidents. Neil Murray, a former colleague of Quinn’s and friend for thirty years, confirmed to Bloomberg that Quinn knew Obasanjo and Yar’Adua personally.

In 2001, Quinn was involved in a failed contract to repair and upgrade 36 British-made scorpion tanks in Nigeria. The Irishman had charged the Nigerian army for tank parts that were never delivered, costing the government millions of dollars and earning him a considerable fortune. Quinn was eventually charged with espionage and handling secret military materials in 2006, but the case was dropped within the year amid claims from some prosecution lawyers that the government had intervened.

He swindled us before and we allowed him to swindle us more and more.

This is how corrupt we are as a people, our country means nothing to us when it comes to money.
