excitement on Saturday, August 8th, 2015, at the
unveiling of the Dance with Peter reality show.
Globacom will be giving away N6m, a three cars

prize of N3m, a Toyota Rav 4, and a spot in P-
Square’s next music video.

Harcourt, Benin and Abuja as well as in Accra,
Ghana.
Six dancers will be selected by the judges from
each location for the real battle in Lagos.
At the unveiling were Peter, one of the P-Square
twin, dance queen, Kaffy; P-Squares’
choreographer, Nonso aka Don Flex and MTV
Base’s Video Jockey (VJ), Ehis Okoegule.

At the moment, the traffic gridlock in Lagos
Ibadan expressway is far turning to a big
mess.
Naij.com gathered that motorists and
commuters are finding it hard to meander
through the gridlock.
Heavy duty trucks held in Lagos-Ibadan
express way traffic.
Some commuters, who were stranded at the
axis, where sighted on Saturday’s morning
trekking to their various destinations.
‘Bumper to bumper’ along Lagos-Ibadan
expressway.

The gridlock along Lagos-Ibadan expressway
has been a major source of concern over the
years. The congestion along the expressway is
occasioned by several factors, which include
the poor state of the expressway, the ongoing
construction, presence of various factories and
religious bodies, who cited their conference
centres and camps along the axis.
The fact that the expressway is the major link
road between Lagos and Ibadan also
contribute to the traffic congestion.

A UK-based group has claimed that more
than £400bn of looted Nigerian money is
stashed away in Europe, Asia and America.
President Muhammadu Buhari has recently
commented on the steps being taken by his
government regarding the stolen funds :
“Some monies were paid to individual
accounts. We are identifying the financial
institutions and countries that are involved.”
According to The Punch, in a fresh
development, Africa Secretariat made serious
disclosures and suggested direct ways of
recovering the looted amounts.
The group’s coordinator Ben Oguntala on
Friday, August 7, spoke on the matter:
“The image President Buhari is projecting is his
promise to fight corruption. He cannot do this
alone and it is for this reason that we have
sent the president our proposal for addressing
corruption.

Selective — Osinbajo Cries Out
“There is over £400bn worth of Nigerian
money being fraudulently held in Europe, Asia
and America. When we met with the president
on his visit to London (earlier this year), he
asked us to find out how Nigerians in the
Diaspora can contribute to the development of
Nigeria and we see fighting corruption as a
cornerstone of that change that Nigeria is
leading across Africa.
“The perpetrators thought they got away from
the Nigerian law but now, finally, the law can
be extended to bring them to account.”
The official also said that Buhari had been
advised to have an anti-graft agency
established in Britain. The body would operate
under UK and European legislation, with the
cooperation of experienced international
agencies.

Amaechi
“The Nigerian Corruption Amnesty Commission
(NCAC) proposal has been suggested and
submitted to the President. It will be headed
by one of the most talented lawyers in criminal
law in the world. The commission will be
answerable directly to the president and will
be held in the UK, using the UK and European
Union laws to target perpetrators who thought
they were out of the Nigerian legal
jurisdiction.”
Oguntala further narrated how the NCAC would
ensure effectiveness of its work:
“Using social media and the Internet,
witnesses will be able to give evidence from
any location across the world, providing
evidence of corruption they know. The
commission will also give a window for
perpetrators to confess and return their loots
or face the book being thrown at them.
“As part of the confession they give, the
commission will demand details of how they
carried out the corruption and the information
will be used to plug the loophole in the
commensurate sources in Nigeria to ensure we
prevent such graft from happening again.”
Amid the active anti-corruption moves, the
senators of the last government have accused
Buhari and his team of leading a selective
anti-corruption war targeted at the officials of
Goodluck Jonathan’s administration. This
follows the presidency’s claims that the probe
would not extend to the government of
Olusegun Obasanjo. Peoples Democratic Party
chieftains said that it was pure witch-hunting.
Responding to the criticism, Vice President
Yemi Osinbajo dismissed the allegations
adding that the current actions were not about
the previous government, but “any form of
impunity”.

President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-corruption is
drawing support from unexpected quarters – the
opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
A senior member of the party and two-time
governor of the defunct Bendel State, Dr. Samuel
Ogbemudia, tells Buhari to jail those who may be
indicted on the looting of the treasury under the
regime of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Ogbemudia’s statement came on the heels of the
President’s claim, last week, that his
administration had uncovered some of the banks
in which the treasury looters stashed the stolen
funds.
Effort to recover the funds was a key leg of
Buhari’s recent visit to the United States (US)
where he met President Barack Obama and senior
American officials to solicit their cooperation, and
told his guests that about $150 billion had been
stolen from Nigeria over the last four years,
especially from the oil industry where
transparency is significantly lacking.
Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State, who
was on the US trip, followed it up, quoting an
unnamed official of the American government as
saying a minister under the Jonathan
administration stole $6 billion.
“All the information we read in the papers, if it is
correct that some people looted the treasury
under Jonathan, then they should be brought to
book. If they are convicted, they will, certainly, go
to jail”, Ogbemudia, also a retired army general,
told Sunday Vanguard in an interview.
But he had a caveat: All the allegations of
corruption against the Jonathan administration
officials should be properly investigated, to ensure
the innocent is not unduly labeled a thief.
The PDP leader also spoke on the search for
Oshiomhole’s successor, the National Assembly
crisis and the war against Boko Haram, among
other issues. Excerpts:
How is the Edo Mass Movement you launched to
search for a credible successor to Gov.
Oshiomhole doing?
Edo Mass Movement is in top form, it is in every
ward, local government and senatorial district in
the state. At the appropriate time, Edo Mass
Movement will show what it is capable of doing
at the 2016 gubernatorial election. We did say the
other time that we will support any party that has
a good candidate. And if a party produces a
candidate that does not meet our standard, we
will look elsewhere for a credible one.
What we are going to do is that once a political
party comes up with its own candidate, we will
invite the candidate for a chat, but if in his
wisdom he thinks he does not need us, no
problem. If he comes, we will interview him and
see what he is capable of doing, ensure that he
has a good background, that he will not let the
people down. This is because we don’t want
anybody that comes after Oshiomhole to mess up
the state. The media should help us make sure
that when political parties are deciding their
candidates, they should take into consideration
some of the issues we have raised.
Are you looking at the issue of zoning of the
governorship to a particular district?
We will not be zoning , we will only interview
those that are available. The party has the
responsibility of zoning, not EMM because we
don’t have the mandate. For example, if ten
people come to us and say they are interested in
the governorship, we will sit down and chat; at
the end of it all, we will make recommendation to
the executive of EMM.
But, are you still a member of the PDP?
Yes I am.


Supposing you find a credible candidate, may be
from APGA or APC, will your group endorse that
person as the candidate?
If I find any credible candidate from any party, I
will recommend to the executive of EMM to
inform the people, our supporters and members
to assist that party.
But, won’t your party accuse you of anti-party?
Well, we have not defined yet what is anti-party
activity; once we define it, I will limit myself to it.
The definition has not been brought to my
knowledge.
What kind of governor are you searching for?
A remarkable man, a man who thinks of others,
just like the current governor, Oshiomhole. One
who sees himself as a servant and is prepared to
justify his election.
But there is this fear in some quarters that this
group may be hijacked by rich guber aspirants?
(Laughter) It is not impossible but it is going to
be difficult. I alone don’t make up EMM but we
will ensure that does not happen. Now that
everybody knows that votes count, they have to
defend their votes and give it to whoever they
think will appreciate it and will do exactly what
he says he is going to do.
Do you have any arrangement with the governor
on this issue?
The governor is the leader of this state and,
therefore, we will do nothing that will upset his
own plans. So we will continue to keep in touch
with him.
So what are your expectations in the 2016 guber
race in Edo?
We want the election of next year to set a good
example on how a state can conduct election
without leaving emotional scars. Everybody has to
ensure towards peace and we want a transparent
election; we don’t want interference from outside,
those who are not supposed to take part should
not be involved.
We are aware that your party, the PDP, has zoned
their guber ticket to Edo South. We also learnt
the APC is doing same thing. How will the EMM
come into this situation?
If it is true that the PDP zoned the governorship
to Edo South and APC is likely to do same thing,
the job of EMM is to see which of the two can
represent the interest of the state better, then we
will support it. If those two are not satisfactory,
then we will put up our own candidate, using
another political party.
Many people have accused President Buhari’s
administration of being slow. Do you feel the
same way?
My impression is that those who are saying it
have my sympathy because they have never run
government before. If they had been in
government, they would have known how difficult
it is to put together a sincere administration.
Buhari is laying the foundation for a good take
off. I know he has not appointed Ministers but
Ministers are meant to help the President and, if
the President wants to appoint a Minister, he
does that for specific purpose. Those blaming
him are aware that he said he was going to
reduce the Ministries, he has to reduce them first
and look for technocrats who can deliver the
goods for him. So this issue that he is slow is
rubbish because, tomorrow, if he fails to perform,
the same people will blame him. And I know
Buhari, he cannot afford to fail Nigerians; so let’s
give him a chance.
Some of the Ministers who served under the
administration of President Goodluck Jonathan
have been accused of looting the treasury. Are
you comfortable with that, being a leader of the
former ruling party?
All the information we read in the papers, if it is
correct that some people looted the national
treasury under Jonathan, then they should be
brought to book. If they are convicted they will
certainly, go to jail. But you cannot do that unless
you investigate properly; so the Buhari regime
should spend time to investigate and not to
announce first that a man is a thief only to find
out that he is not guilty.
That will not help. Jonathan once described
bribery and corruption as petty thief; if that is the
new definition, let us see. This is the first time
APC is in government; therefore, all the theories
that they have been propounding along the line,
this is the time to test them and it will take them
time to assemble sufficient evidence of their
genuine readiness to govern. I give them one year
to prepare and three years to execute. If at the
end of four years they encourage the PDP to come
back, that will be good.
The EFCC suddenly started biting and we also
heard that our refineries will soon start operating
in full capacity. How come all these started
happening during Buhari’s administration?
Every society, the way the people behave is the
evidence of the type of leadership it has. It is a
reflection of the quality of the leadership in that
nation. If under the last government, the EFCC did
not have sufficient urge to act, then we should
know why. Now, no body is urging them on and
they are working. I think they will continue to do
so until somebody stops them. We are waiting for
evidence amid all the rumours; we are waiting to
hear that so so person who stole N10billion, is in
custody or he has returned N9billion. It is not
sufficient to suspect, you must have concrete
evidence because, for too long, people have been
suspected and called bad names when in fact
they didn’t know anything about what they were
being accused of.
Do you approve of the calibre of the Service
Chiefs appointed by the President will end Boko
Haram and his strategies to fight insurgency?
The sequence of events that have taken place
since they started is the right step in the right
direction. But our prayer is that the officers
assigned to be fighting should have sufficient
pressure and sufficient understanding to be able
to pursue the objective. Fighting Boko Haram is
not a war; if it were a war, all you need to do is
to drop bombs all over the place, but that is not
allowed; so you have to go in and fetch the
individuals out and deal with them. But what is
more important is the job of the intelligence unit,
the operatives; they should go out and identify
the man who is supplying arms to Boko Haram.
The Boko Haram people are using weapons, arms
and ammunition and they waste the ammunition
and replace them after they fire. So they must be
buying it from somebody. Which bank is opening
the LPO for them or Letter of Credit, or which
port are they discharging the arms, or to which
airport is the plane bringing the ammunition land.
The intelligent unit should find out all these and,
once they find the man who is paying the boys,
who is supplying the arms, then the war will be
over. But if they allow the man to be hiding,
resting, then we are in trouble.
There is also this information that when the Boko
Haram boys have worked till the end of the
month, the leaders organize them to be shot so
that they will not get salaries. The person
sponsoring these people is a human being, he is a
Nigerian, he will be found. If the person is not
found, when the source of the fund is exhausted,
there will be nothing left.
How optimistic are you that the Chibok girls will
be found?
I am very skeptical about that, but if they are
found, they will never be the same again. A lot of
transformation may have taken place. Some
people also alleged that they could have turned
them to suicide bombers, but it depends on the
orientation. What people call suicide bombers is
this: they hire a girl and wrap her with bombs and
tell her to walk towards a particular place. They
will not tell the girl she will die. The man who
will detonate that bomb will be monitoring the
girl, when he feels she has gotten to the centre of
the crowd, then he detonates the bomb. The little
girl does not know what they want her to do until
she goes into flames. The people involved in such
operations are the ones our intelligence people
should be looking for.
They are easy to reach if they go round Burukutu
bars and restaurants; such people, when they are
drunk, they will start vomiting things to people;
that is how we used to arrest such people. I
believe that our troops need to work harder, not
necessarily fighting, but on intelligence. Girls are
better in collecting such information. I know the
army has its own intelligence, but the Department
of State Security is the one saddled with this
responsibility to fish out people planting bombs
through information. The army does only military
intelligence, but the DSS deals more with civilians
who are perpetrating this evil.
What is your take on the lingering leadership
crisis in the Senate? The House of Reps has been
able to resolve its own, but that of the Senate is
still there. What is the way forward?
First, I believe that the way they make their bed is
how they will sleep on it. A political party of
substance gives instructions to its members.
Many years back, many people who were picked
to contest elections where made to sign undated
resignation letter; so if they misbehave, you just
date it.
By the time they start explaining that it was not
yesterday they signed it, it is already too late.
Because political parties don’t do it that way,
then these people have the right to do what they
like. They think they are supposed to be
independent of the executive and the judiciary, but
then the party which put them forward to contest
the election must have a say on what they do. So
it is wrong for the National Assembly members to
think they are completely independent of the
political parties that brought them in. In NPN
days, I was a member and they put me forward to
contest election.
On a D-Day, the Chairman of the party called me
to his office and gave me a run down of what I
was going to meet and that these are the
instructions of the party. The Commissioners,
these are what they should do, the Permanent
Secretaries, do this and so on.
And I looked at it and said there was no problem.
I signed it. When we won, I was reminded that
this is what I should be doing and I kept to the
instruction, there was no argument. But maybe if
I had on that occasion started selecting people on
my own, maybe the party would have called me
to order. Then everybody respected the Chairman
of the party, his words were regarded as the law.
So I think the APC leadership should meet more
regularly, allow the status quo right now to
remain with some modifications. And the party
should re-organize itself and get every member of
the National Assembly under the APC to sign a
document that they will obey the instructions of
the party. Whoever says he will not do it, expel
him immediately.

North Korea is to switch to a new time zone to mark its liberation from the Japanese at the end of World War Two, says state media.
North Korea is currently in the same time zone as South Korea and Japan, which are nine hours ahead of GMT.
But Pyongyang Time will see the clocks put back by 30 minutes on 15 August.
State news agency KCNA said "wicked Japanese imperialists" had "deprived Korea of even its standard time" by changing the clocks during occupation.
The entire Korean peninsula - then one country - was 8.5 hours ahead of GMT until Japan colonised it in 1910.
KCNA quoted officials as saying the decision to adopt Pyongyang Time reflected "the unshakeable faith and will of the service personnel and people on the 70th anniversary of Korea's liberation".

…despite CBN’s intervention on banks’ dollar payment
The naira yesterday could not sustain the gains recorded on Wednesday, as it depreciated against the US dollar in the parallel market, closing at N222 to a dollar. This represents a depreciation of N7 from Wednesday when a dollar exchanged for N215 in Lagos and Kano, and N220 to a dollar in Abuja. Also, the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN yesterday directed that banks should pay for their dollar purchases 48 hours in advance. Sources from the Bureaux De Changes (BDCS) said that the gains recorded on Wednesday could not be sustained yesterday due to the fact that the dollar sold to them by the CBN was bought by people that felt that the naira would fall as the CBN may not be able to sustain the sale of more dollar to the parallel market. Meanwhile, CBN has directed commercial banks to pay for their dollar purchases 48 hours in advance, after banning them from accepting foreign currency cash deposits to curb dollar demand and stem illicit financial flows. Reacting to the *development, BDC operators said banks would struggle to buy dollar on behalf of customers, while the ban on dollar cash deposits would stem speculation. The CBN in June curbed access to the interbank currency market to preserve its foreign reserves. The move led to the diversion of dollar demand to the black market, weakening the local currency. “We are now required to deposit the naira equivalent of our total forex bids to the central bank 48 The measures led to a sharp increase in interest rates on the interbank market, traders said. “The new measure has taken out some huge naira liquidity in the market and putting pressure on the cost of funds among banks,” one dealer said. The overnight lending rate jumped to 50 percent on Thursday from 12 percent the previous day, amid low liquidity as some banks scrambled to stock up on the naira to back up their forex demand with the central bank. Ugo Okoroafor, communications adviser to the CBN Governor had explained that the ban on dollar cash deposits with commercial banks was aimed at curbing the “increasing dollarisation of the economy.” Meanwhile, on Wednesday , it was gathered that the CBN issued a circular to sell additional $30,000 to all licensed bureaux de change (BDCs) in the country on Friday, apart from the weekly sale of $30,000 that the apex banks normally makes to each BDC. Earlier in the day on Wednesday , naira exchanged for as high as 235 to a dollar, but a parallel market source noted that the news of the CBN circular prompted various firms to hurriedly sell off the dollars in their possession leading to increase in supply of dollars to the market and thus crashing the exchange rate. The hurried sale is in anticipation that the market would be flooded by dollars when the additional sale is made by the apex bank on Friday. The official exchange rate remains pegged by CBN at N197 to a dollar. Vanguard investigations on Tuesday had revealed that the naira depreciation was as a result of panic buying of the dollar in the hope that it would further depreciate. Sources said that there was hoarding of foreign currency going on at the unofficial market. They said that the appreciation of the naira last week was temporary and that the exchange rate was most likely to return to its previous level. The naira had last week appreciated by N35 fromN245 per dollar to N210, due to excess dollars in the market, occasioned by refusal of banks to allow foreign currency deposits into domiciliary accounts.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday commenced the process of implementing the United Nations Environmental Programme’s report on the environmental restoration of Ogoniland. According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the development is in keeping with Buhari’s avowed commitment to working for the development and well-being of all Nigerians. Adesina said the President took the decision to fast-track the implementation of this based on recommendations to him by the Executive Director of UNEP, the UNEP Special Representative for Ogoniland, Permanent Secretaries of the Federal Ministries of Environment and Petroleum Resources and other stakeholders. The presidential spokesman said one of the steps approved by the President for immediate implementation was the amendment of the Official Gazette establishing the Hydrocarbon Pollution Restoration Project to reflect a new governance framework comprising a Governing Council, a Board of Trustees and the Project Management. He said Buhari further approved that the HYPREP Governing Council should be composed of Ministry of Petroleum Resources (one representative), Ministry of Environment (one representative), impacted states -Rivers (one representative), oil companies and NNPC (four representatives), Ogoniland (two representatives), United Nations System (one representative) and the secretariat headed by the project manager. Adesina added that the President also approved the composition of a Board of Trustees for the HYPREP Trust Fund, to include one representative each from the Federal Government, NNPC, international oil companies, Ogoniland and the United Nations System. The statement added, “Following a meeting held on the directive of President Buhari, it was also agreed that a contribution deposit of $10m will be made by stakeholders within 30 days of the appointment of members of the Board of Trustees for the Trust Fund who will be responsible for collecting and managing funds from contributors and donors. “A new implementation template has also been evolved at the instance of President Buhari and the environmental clean-up of Ogoniland will commence in earnest with the President’s inauguration of the HYPREP Governing Council and the Board of Trustees for the Trust Fund.

Nigeria’s former chief of army staff,
Lieutenant General Kenneth Minimah, on
Wednesday, August 5, accused the country’s
elite of using Boko Haram terrorists to
advance their selfish interests.
Leadership reports that the ex service chief
also alleged that the authorities neglected the
health and vitality of the army by not ensuring
adequate funding.
Minimah, who was sacked in July and replaced
by Major General Tukur Buratai, made the
claim when he was delivering a speech at a
ceremony held to commemorate his retirement.
“The insurgency snowballed into a graver
dimension because these people exploited the
security challenge to further sectional, religious
and political interests.”
Kenneth Minimah
He stressed the importance for the country’s
leadership to create adequate conditions for
recruitment, training and equipping in the
army, insisting that a nation can be strong as
long as its military is strong.
He further urged Nigerians to support the
government and security forces in the fight
against Boko Haram and other criminal
elements to ensure peace in the country.
“In the last decade, we have seen the extent to
which people who harbour evil against their
fellow co-patriots can go to inflict pain and
death on innocent people.
“This is the time for us to rise in unison not
only to condemn but to take actions against
the activities of the Boko Haram terrorists and
other criminal elements in order to foster peace
and security in our society.
“Perhaps, if we had all stood against the
terrorists at the outset through condemnation
of their activities and active collaboration with
the military to confront them, rather than use
it as a tool to advance section, tribal, religious
and political interests, we would not have been
where we find ourselves today.
“We must therefore all unite and support our
government and security forces to tackle the
current security challenges.”
Now, when Minimah talks about the under-
funding of the military, it is worth recalling
scandalous incidents of soldiers complaining
about bad equipment during Minimah’s tenure.

Awka—TWO persons were beheaded at Eziagulu
Otu, near the embattled Orient Petroleum
Resources Ltd in Anambra East Local Government
Area yesterday by armed men suspected to be
from Ibaji in Kogi State, who allegedly attacked
the people in their farms.
Four others, who sustained injuries have been
admitted at a private hospital in Onitsha.
The attack came barely 24 hours after members
of Board of Directors of Orient Petroleum informed
Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State, during a
visit, that the company had acquired two new
wells in Aguleri and would increase its crude oil
production to 3,000 barrels per day in September.
Vanguard gathered that the attackers, who were
armed to the teeth, took the farmers unawares
and as many of them ran into the river, the
attackers caught six of them, killing two and
injuring four.
As the news of the attack reached the people of
Aguleri in the upland, all those whose relations
went to farm became worried. Shortly after, the
victims were brought him.
At press time, it could not be ascertained if some
people in the area were still missing.
SOS
One of the distress messages sent to Vanguard
during the attack read: “Information reaching our
town indicates that Kogi people are attacking
Eziagulu Otu and Enugu Otu in several groups and
are about to overrun the area and the oil field
facilities there.”
Another message from the President General of
Aguleri read: “Eziagulu Otu is currently under
siege by our Kogi neighbours.
“I am informed that serious fighting is going on
and casualties have been recorded. We are at a
disadvantage under their superior fire power. The
situation is bad.”
Anambra State Commissioner of Police, Mr.
Hosea Karma, confirmed the incident, saying his
men and the Kogi State Police Command had
stepped in to stop further clash.

New army media boss

The story by Nduka Chiejina, Assistant Editor, went on to point out that “Two weeks after sharing tax proceeds from the Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas, NLNG, the three tiers of government yesterday shared a larger amount of cash from the Federation Account for the month of June than they did for the month of May 2015.” With all due respects to my colleagues in the media, this is a story for the front page of every newspaper and headline news on electronic media.

For those who have lately rained maledictions on the governors of Nigeria in general, and inexplicably Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola of Osun state in particular, it might give them a pause for reflection on the true state of the nation’s economy.
Without defending the governors against charges of profligate spending, the published allocation for June goes a long way towards sustaining the point that the fault is not entirely their own – irrespective of political affiliation, APGA, APC or PDP.
Incidentally, the fault does not belong entirely to the Federal Government under Jonathan either. A lot of what has happened could be traced to our faulty federal system, as will be explained later and to external factors which are totally out of their control.
The majour source of our current problem lies in the federal government assuming sole responsibility for determining the benchmark of price and volume of crude exports on which the annual budget is based, exclusively reporting the revenue generated without verification by the two other tiers of government, states and Local Governments, and declaring whatever the FG wanted as gross revenue, distributable revenue and Excess Crude revenue. It was a “Father knows best” system which had landed us in trouble.
The states, from the 1970s, when crude became the mainstay of the economy, not just now, had been administered by mentally lazy people – both as Governors and Commissioners of Finance—without exception. Otherwise, why should states which depend on revenue from crude for up to eighty (80) per cent or more of their revenue allow the FG alone to determine all the parameters mentioned above?
Why should the FG alone determine the benchmark, export volume, gross revenue and distributable income without checks and verification by the states? The Governors of states, up till now, had managed their relationships like members of a religious group based on faith in which the leader is totally trusted. “Faith”, meanwhile, “is not belief without proof, but trust without reservation.” (Elton Trueblood, in VANGUARD BOOK OF QUOTATIONS, p 55).
Unfortunately for the States and LGs, the trust had been totally misplaced as the current controversy over the disappearance of US$2bn from the Excess Crude Account, ECA, had demonstrated. That there is a dispute at all is clear proof that the states and LGs now have started to exercise doubt – which should have been there all along. That no small group of individuals can be trusted with funds belonging to others had been the verdict of history.
That is why there are independent or external auditors to verify what those in charge declare. Politicians, who should know themselves better than others should have been the last people to allow the fraud-prone system foisted on us by the military since 1967 till today to continue. The result, which should take some, but not all, the heat from the governors, is shown below between the allocations to states in 2006 and today 2015.
In July 2006, the aggregate to states was N196.26bn when the price of crude was under US$45 per barrel. In June 2015, nine years after crude oil at US$56-60 per barrel, “Mrs Anastatia Nwaobia, Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Finance, said the sum of N449.68 was shared…the states shared N111.04bn.
For further reference the states’ allocations in July 2006, were as follows: Abia, N3.96bn; Adamawa, N3.53bn; A/Ibom, N14.44; Anambra, N3.61bn; Bauchi, N4.10; Bayelsa, 13.16bn; Benue, N3.8bn; Borno, N4.1bn; C/River, N3.98; Delta, N15.8bn; Ebonyi, N3.0bn; Edo, N4.2bn; Ekiti, N3.08bm; Enugu, N3.3.29; Gombe, N3.15bn; Imo, N4.37bn; Jigawa, N3.92bn; Kaduna, N4.29bn; Kano, N5.55bn; Katsina, N4.30bn; Kebbi, N3.3.59bn; Kogi, N3.5bn; N3.12bn; N5.49bn; Nass, N2.99bn; Niger, N3.90bn; Ogun, N3.45bn; Ondo N6.95bn; Osun, N3.33bn; Oyo, N4.19bn; Plateau, N3.0bn; Rivers, N23.25bn; Sokoto, N3.72bn; Taraba, N3.4bn; Yobe, N3.39bn; Zamfara, N3.53bn.
No state will collect anything close to that now.
The year 2006 was two years after Obasanjo and Okonjo-Iweala imposed the ECA on the states and the Federal Government commenced robbing the states blind. In 2006-7 US$13-16bn was withdrawn from ECA for POWER PROJECT which has not seen the light of day till now. Thus today, states are receiving less than they did in 2006 –long before the minimum wage reached N18,000 per month and exchange rate escalated from N150 to N220 per US$1.
The first question we must answer is, how was it possible that states received N196bn in allocation in 2006, and a mere N111bn in 2015? The astonishing answer is: the Federal governments of Nigeria under Obasanjo, Yar’Adua and Jonathan had increasingly kept more than their own share of the revenue as a result of which the states are being pauperized.
The theft of states and LGs share of aggregate revenue, which started under Obasanjo, reached its peak under Jonathan. Between 2004, when ECA started and today, the states and LGs might have been robbed of close to a trillion naira because they were careless enough to allow the FG to determine everything about crude oil.
Now we are all in trouble as crude prices plummet to US$40 per barrel next year.

In his ex parte application, Gilbert Nnaji,
the senator representing Enugu east senatorial
district, sought to restrain the IGP and the
attorney-general of the federation, who are the
two respondents to the suit, from taking
further steps on the investigation of the alleged
forgery.
Justice Gabriel Kolawole held that he could not
grant the restraining order at the level of ex
parte hearing, since it was the same issue the
plaintiff canvassed in their substantive
suit. He held that, before the the decision on
the ex parte are made, the IG and the AGF
must appear in court to give their reasons why
the prayers sought by the plaintiff should not
be granted.
“The court is a bit wary on an ex parte
proceeding to allow the plaintiff [Nnaji] to have
his day in court because the courts are not
created or established to supervise the
National Assembly in the way and manner it
will run its own constitutional duties, except
where its acts border on a substantial
infraction of the constitution, which goes
beyond its own internal rules or procedure, or
the application of its standing order,” Justice
Kolawole said.
“To do otherwise is to work to subvert the
hallowed constitutional principles of separation
of powers upon which the machinery of
government is proposed to be run and to be
operated.
“My decision is not to make orders directing
both parties to maintain status quo as it is
often misinterpreted by both parties. Rather, I
will direct that the defendants, who had
already been served with the originating
summons, and the plaintiff’s motion of notice,
shall on the return date, show cause why the
orders being sought by the plaintiff on his
motion ex parte dated and filed on 23-07-15,
shall not be granted.”
The judge also holds the involvement of the
police, which is an agency of the executive arm
of government, in the forgery case (by inviting
for questioning, certain members of the
Senate) as worrisome.
