From your reference, some sections of petrochemical plants were conceived.

Buhari was minster during the greatest expansion of our refining capacity and pipeline infrastructure.
However this is neither here nor there, all the credit goes to the young military governments of Gowon, Muhammad and Obasanjo. One thing we should thank Buhari for was the[b] lack of corruption scandal with those projects, [/b]even then 10% was common. Now with GEJ government, it is 100% kickback by building the project and selling it cheaply to yourself and cronies whilst giving tax waivers for the first five years...lol.
The military rulers worked the National Development Plans well and they had very good civil servants to work with.
Everything got bad with IBB and became hell with Abacha. Abacha's son is now working with Jonathan.
Like the N2.8B fraud, which was $4.6B back then, and around $17B today.

Just saw this post and thought I should share it. I think its worth reading.

[center]URHOBO MUST BE CAREFUL!!![/center]

“URHOBO UNITED WAKE UP AND PREPARE FOR THE BATTLES AHEAD! Mr. President mandated Tompolo. Sen.Manager and his Kinsmen to mobilize against our guber candidate David Edewvie. Its in record dat d Urhobo's gv Mr.President more votes than d entire Bayelsa state in d 2011 election. we must unite to ensure dat Mr.President does not win a single ward in our areas. The same Tompolo and his cohorts are acting like pirates in power hijacking and looting by changing names of those who already won their house of assembly primaries @ d PDP secretariat Abj. What a NONSENSE! Mr.President call Tompolo to order, to avoid another round of crisis in delta State. May wise counsel prevail!” – extracts from an SMS broadcast on the 15th Dec 2014

It is very heart rendering to read some of these inciting comments being peddled around social media and some online blogs by some mischief makers on behalf of the Urhobos in Delta State, the extract above is from an SMS been circulated by some elements claiming to be speaking for the Urhobos. Several of these messages have been flooding the media circle since after the PDP primaries and we the members of the Urhobo Youth Initiative Movement (UYIM) find this to be totally absurd, self serving and in fact cannot but equate it to a grand design by some paid group of persons whom by virtue of their selfish aims want to plunge the Urhobo nation into some hate related course with her neighbors.
We have watched carefully and noticed that all of these unholy comments that is been circulated around have nothing of importance to the urhobo people but rather a self serving exercise by some individuals whom out of their bias over the just concluded PDP governorship primary elections wants to plunge every Urhobo son and daughter into some tribal conflict. We as members of Urhobo Youth Initiative Movement will not allow some few elements to use us as puns in their grand political design; we therefore warn every indigene of the Urhobo race to ignore these calls and totally resist any such plans by this group of persons.

Firstly, we want to state categorically clear that we shall not because of this election have any conflict with either our Ijaw or Delta North brothers and sisters because these groups have supported the Urhobos tremendously when it was our turn to produce the governor of the state on two separate occasions. It is only fair and just that we the urhobos as a sign of good gesture support the course of our Delta north neighbors now that it has been bestowed on them to produce the governor.
The unholy media attack on the person of High Chief Government Ekpemupolo AKA Tompolo and some of his fellow Ijaw kinsmen like Sen. James Manager by a particular so called Urhobo group is totally unacceptable and should be discouraged by any reasonable Urhobo indigene. In an election, individual have the right to vote for whoever they so please, if chief Tompolo and his kinsmen decide to maintain the peace and unity of Delta by doing the right thing with their conscience - which is not to impose an Ijaw man with their strength and connection as this group actually attested to, but rather to play fair by respecting the zoning arrangement of Delta state which actually favors the Delta North at this moment, then we think these men are true Deltans and meant well for the peace and unity of our state.
We believe that instead of instigating the Urhobos against their Ijaw neighbours we should rather commend them for their show of patriotism by not trying to use their closeness to Mr. President to destabilize the state like many would have done by trying to impose an Ijaw man as governor. This we find very commendable and should be applauded by all well meaning Deltans most of all the Urhobos who have benefited immensely from the support structure of other ethnic groups.

Also this group should refrain from declaring that the Urhobos will not vote for Mr. President because of whatever grudges they are nursing. The Urhobos are solidly behind President GoodLuck Jonathan and are fully in support of his transformation agenda and the progress and development it has ushered into this country, we shall vote massively for him come feb 14th 2015 and also we shall make sure our group mobilizes strongly to see that we return the favors we have enjoyed from our Delta North brothers in past elections to see that Sen. Ifeanyi Okowa is elected the next governor of Delta state come Feb 28, 2015.
We have always been a people of peace and appreciate favors and no one shall because of his own personal loss drag our beloved Urhobo nation into some tribal and hate related conflict situation with our Delta brothers and sisters.
Long Live Delta State!, Long Live The Federal Republic Of Nigeria!!

Mr. Obaro Akpomiemie
For Urhobo Youth Initiative Movement
No Urhobo politician is an Ijaw political adversary, never was and never will be. More Urhobos delegates voted for Okowa than Ijaws. Tompolo and Manager started supporting Okowa years ago. It did not start yesterday. The campaign manager of Okowa is an Okpe man, he promised to deliver 50% of Delta central delegates for Okowa, he almost did.

The Interim Management Committee Members who compiled this report include Dr. Haroun Adamu (Chairman), Alh. Abdu Abdurrahim, Barrister Achana Gaius Yaro, Arc. Edward Eguavoen, Mr. T Andrew Adegboro and Engr. Baba Goni Machina.

PoliticsRe: The Buhari Ptf Days! The Untold Story by atlwireles: 10:53pm On Dec 15, 2014
(c) Treasury Account All the Treasury Accounts were verified and amount to be recovered is N 510, 749, 323 (Five hundred and ten million, seven hundred and forty nine thousand, three hundred and twenty three Naira only). This is mainly due to short-payment of interest on deposited funds. (See Box A).

The total sum of N 11, 658, 532, 448 (Eleven billion, six hundred and fifty eight million, five hundred and thirty two thousand four hundred and forty eight Naira only) is recoverable as per various reports completed as at now.



1.Other Potential Areas Of Fund Recovery : Road (Highways and Urban Roads) The PSTF uses about 70% of its income on highways and Urban Road Projects. In this project sector, there was total variation of contract sums of N 68,000,000,000 (Sixty eight billion Naira). These variations were not done with properly priced bills of quantities and approved civil contracts procedure as stipulated by government regulations. Taking the experience of what has been discovered after verification of previous contracts awarded by PSTF, the minimum potential recovery will be about 15%. This estimated percentage will be about N 10, 000, 000 (Ten billion Naira). The verification of this project sector was about to take off when the IMC members were replaced.



2. Rural Water Supply Programme The area of potential fund recoveries under this programme are basically two :- (i) Mobilisation paid to contractors who by now have not even commenced work (ii) Over pricing of contracts. The amount to be recovered from this project sector can be conservatively estimated at N 1,000,000,000 (One billion Naira).

The detail verification report on this programme has already been completed. The executive summary of this report was in the process of compilation when the IMC members were replaced.



3. National Health and Educational Institutions Rehabilitation Programme The detail verification exercise on this sector has already been completed by various independent Consultants. The executive summary for total amounts recoverable is now in the process of being compiled. The conservative estimate of amount recoverable due to non-performance of contractors and over-pricing of contract is about N 600,000,000 (Six hundred million Naira).



4. National Educational Material Procurement Programme This programme entails the purchase of educational materials such as text books, exercise books, chalk, dusters, pencils, biro, magazines, maps etc. The verification exercise of this programme is yet to commence. The conservative estimate of recoveries to be made due to non-performance by contractors and inflation of prices will be in the region of N 900,000,000 (Nine hundred million Naira).



5. Rural Telecommunication Programme The Rural Telecommunication Programme was supposed to be carried out in two phases viz: – (i) Pilot programme (ii) The main programme. The main programme was to commence after the pilot programme has been completed and certified as operational, but mobilisation of N 1, 600,000 (One billion, six hundred million Naira) was paid to the contractors for the main programme without any contract being signed at all.

In view of the government policy at present, the full amount of the mobilization paid can be recovered (i.e N 1,600,000,000), See Box B

The Committee recommended that the total recoverable amount can be used to offset some of the outstanding debts because some of the creditors are contractors from whom these amounts are to be recovered. It also recommended that the President may wish to set up a high powered judicial panel to recover the huge public fund and to take the necessary action against any officer, consultant or contractor whose negligence resulted in this colossal loss of public funds.
PoliticsRe: The Buhari Ptf Days! The Untold Story by atlwireles: 10:50pm On Dec 15, 2014
ii) PTF Assisted HIV/ AIDS Programmes : The intervention of PTF in the HIV/AIDS was flawed due to professional negligence by the management consultants. There was an excessive order of HIV/AIDS kits which resulted in most of the kits expiring before use. Also there was gross inflation of the purchase price. The two factors combined resulted in a loss of N 579,000,000 (Five hundred and seventy nine million Naira only).


(iii) PTF Intervention Programmes : PTF intervention in the health sector input programmes totalled to about N 9 billion Naira. The projects were executed by the management consultants and PTF in-house staff. In this sector there are three glaring areas of loss: (a) Purchase of specific frames which was done at N 1,900 each while they can be purchased locally at a price between N 80 and N 880. This resulted in total loss of N 45, 270,000 (b) Purchase of ambulances which was done at N 13,000,000 each instead of the price of N 3,000,000 each. This resulted in total loss of N 900,000,000 (Nine hundred million Naira only). (c) Purchase of drugs was done to the tune of N 3.08 billion. Price inflation and expiring of drugs resulted in a loss to PTF of about N 1, 500, 000,000 ( one billion, five hundred million Naira).


(iv) PTF Prevalence Expiring Drugs All Over The Country: A team of Pharmacists were commissioned to verify the Drugs Revolving Fund Programmes. Their findings were very depressing. A huge loss has been incurred by PTF as enumerated below:- (a) Drugs and consumables worth N 817, 831,723 (Eight hundred and seventeen million, eight and thirty one thousand seven hundred and twenty three Naira only) were found to have expired by October, 1999 (b) another quantity of drugs worth N 94, 741, 517 expired in December, 1999 (c) drugs worth N 233, 416, 829 will expire by March 2000 (d) Drugs worth N 461, 255,073 will expire by June 2000 (e) Drugs worth N 429, 117, 861 will expire by September, 2000 (f) Drugs worth N 1, 196, 276, 052 will expire by October- December, 2000.

There were many cases of deterioration of drugs as a result of faulty manufacturing, inappropriate packaging, improper storage and excess stock.



(v) PTF Residential Estate: The involvement of PTF in Residential Estate Development was out of its intervention sphere. As at now, the estate has been confiscated by government. The contract sum is N 703, 815, 416 (Seven hundred and three million, eight hundred and fifteen thousand four hundred and sixteen Naira only) while after verification, the whole project was valued at N 328, 901, 521 (Three hundred and Twenty Eight Million nine hundred and one thousand, five hundred and twenty one Naira only). There was an inflation of the contract to the tune of N 374, 913, 895 (Three hundred and seventy four million, nine hundred and thirteen thousand eight hundred and ninety five Naira only).



(vi) PTF Headquarters Extension: The IMC Commissioned Consultants to determine the current construction cost of the on-going extension at the headquarters office. The current construction cost determined by the Consultant came to N 326, 207, 861 (Three hundred and twenty six million, two hundred and seven thousand, eight hundred and sixty one Naira only) as against a contract sum of N 461, 216, 759 (Four hundred and sixty one million, two hundred and sixteen thousand, seven hundred and fifty nine Naira only) this resulted in contract sum inflation of N 135, 008, 879 (One hundred and thirty five million, eight thousand eight hundred and seventy nine Naira only).



(vii) Bank Accounts Operated By PTF From Inception To December 31, 1999: Various Consultants were commissioned to verify the Bank accounts operated by PTF from inception of the Fund up to 31st December, 1999. The Fund operated its bank accounts under three different categories viz- (a) Administration Account (b) Project Account (c) Treasury Account. Recoveries to be made from the various banks are as follow:

(a) Administration Account Total Amount recoverable is N 664, 415, 793 (Six hundred and sixty four million, four hundred and fifteen thousand seven hundred and ninety three Naira only). This is mainly due to overcharge on Cost of Turnover (COT), non-payment of interest on current account balances as stipulated by Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and other various discrepancies.

(b) Project Account On project Account, total amount recoverable is N 2, 467, 817, 167 (Two billion, four hundred and sixty seven million, eight hundred and seventeen thousand, one hundred and sixty seven Naira only). This is made up mainly from overcharge of Cost of Turnover (COT), non-payment of interest on Current Account balances as stipulated by Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and other various discrepancies.

The Horrendous PTF Fraud: How N 25 Billion Was Stolen Under Buhari’s Watch!

The Report That Indicted Him!
The Petroleum Trust Fund was inaugurated by the Abacha administration in March 1995 and General Muhammadu Buhari was appointed to head the Fund which was formed sequel to the increase in the pump price of petrol to N 11 from N 3.25. The then Head of State, Gen Abacha had said then that the Fund was to distribute the gain from the increased price on social and infrastructural projects.

The Fund started work with an initial capital of about N60b in 1996 with a mandate that included the rehabilitation of roads and waterways, educational and health institutions, providing textbooks and stationery, procuring essential drugs and vaccines, providing water supply systems, reviving crumbling agricultural sectors, connecting outlying areas to the national electricity grid, extending railways and telecommunications and ensuring consistent food supply.

Buhari often referred to as Mai Gaskiya (the honest one) was apparently considered for the job mainly because of the qualities he possessed, with the Abacha led government feeling that would douse the tension generated by the increase in fuel prices. With time however, allegations started flying that the PTF was no more than another avenue for the Abacha administration to siphon funds.

On assumption of office in 1999, Chief Obasanjo disbanded the PTF. One of the discoveries made by the administration was that between its inception and July, 1999, the funds that accrued to the PTF stood at N 181 billion. It was also found out that the Consultants appointed by the Executive Chairman of the Trust Fund, Gen Buhari constantly fleeced the country of funds running into billions.

In 2000, the Obasanjo administration set up an Interim Management Committee to take a look into the affairs of the Petroleum (Special) Trust Fund and ascertain among other things, how much has been spent by the PTF so far and what is on ground to justify the huge expenditure. The Committee the set to work and accomplished all the terms of reference by March 2000. The Interim Management Committee submitted that:

I was waiting for the alamjiri in you to come out. The same akobata populating this forum with their 20 million monikers. I knew, it was not going to take long to drag you out.

How much are you paying for my vote?

I rest my case...trying to reason with u would be a lost cause.

U are a proof of why suffering will never end in Nigeria. What baffles me is that the citizens that are most prone to suffering are d ones that reason like this. Keep selling ur votes and future. cry
Lazy ones like you are the ones suffering. Keep waiting for father Christmas. As for selling my vote, how much are you paying?

A trip to Ojo lagos will not be a bad idea. At least you can see with your own eyes.

I should also use my legs to power my gen abi or I should live,dwell and die in d dark like a caveman? huh ...I don't av a right to cheap petrol,I guess I also have no right to steady power supply,right? Abeg make una dey think b4 una post.

Please,remind me where I mentioned Buhari in my post. From ur premise,i can equally say Jona was our "yesterday" cos he has been tested and he has failed. So I stand on my point that I will vote any other person aside from gej.

Sentimentalism,ethnicism and religious bigotry has placed us in this deep shyte ...and it will ruin us totally until we start functioning as rational beings.
You have no right to steady power from government, go build your own power plant and drill your own crude oil. I am tired of of parasites crying about everything they want from government, without giving one kobo to create anything.

You want light buy your own 24 hours gen. Buy petrol/diesel/gas and power it. If you cannot pay the cost, then live in darkness like a caveman.

Don't bother me with your problems, solve them yourself. Government owes you nothing, you probably pay zero in any form of taxes, yet you people cry the loudest. I will allow your sentimentalism and ethinicism verbose,pass for you.
