World oil prices sank Wednesday as traders eyed rising gasoline and distillates stockpiles, amid ongoing jitters over the stubborn global crude supply glut, analysts said.

By 1630 GMT, US benchmark West Texas Intermediate for delivery in October had fallen 87 cents to $44.03 a barrel, reversing earlier gains.

Brent North Sea crude for November delivery lost 91 cents to $46.19 a barrel compared with the previous day’s close.

The US government’s Department of Energy reported Wednesday that commercial crude inventories fell about 600,000 barrels in the week to September 9.



That confounded market expectations for a gain of four million barrels, according to analysts polled by Bloomberg News.

Falling US crude stockpiles tend to push prices higher because they indicate strengthening demand in top global oil consumer, the United States.

However, traders focussed instead on news of rebounding reserves of gasoline, or petrol, and distillates which include diesel and heating fuel.

Stockpiles of gasoline grew 600,000 barrels and distilliates added a hefty 4.6 million barrels last week, according to the DoE.

“The oil report was not as bullish as the headline number may have suggested, so concerns about oversupply remain firmly in place,” City Index oil analyst Fawad Razaqzada told AFP.

“Not only did stocks of gasoline and distillates rise sharply, crude production was up for the first time in four weeks, too.

“So the devil was in the detail of the report and once traders realised that, they were quick to abandon their bullish positions, causing WTI to drop to $44.”

In earlier deals on Wednesday, the oil market had crept higher as traders mulled gloomy supply and demand forecasts which have cast a pall over the market this week.

Oil had also edged upwards after US industry body, the American Petroleum Institute, reported that US crude reserves had risen by less than expected last week.

Hopes for a sustained rebound in demand were dashed this week by fresh warnings a global supply glut would persist for longer than previously thought.

As the market eyed a producers’ meeting later this month for some reprieve, the Paris-based International Energy Agency forecast a continuing global supply glut in 2017.

The organisation reversed its previous projection that stubborn global oversupply would be soaked up by demand in the latter part of 2016.

Instead, it warned that the glut — which has sent prices crashing in recent years — would linger “at least through the first half of next year”.

The IEA — which advises oil consuming nations on energy issues — added that oil demand growth was slowing while supply was rising.

The news followed a report Monday by the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries predicting that non-member countries would see output rise in 2017, revising its previous expectations of a drop.

– ‘Major doubts’ over deal –

Traders will meanwhile be watching for any deals to freeze or cut output when OPEC and non-OPEC producers meet in Algeria later this month.

“There are still major doubts about whether a deal can be done,” IG Markets said in an analysis.

“The world’s largest producer, Saudi Arabia, is lukewarm about a freeze, while Iran and Iraq are still increasing output following wars and sanctions and they’re unlikely to support a deal until they’re pumping at full capacity.”

The 14-nation OPEC oil exporting group will meet informally in Algeria with non-member producers on the sidelines of the International Energy Forum from September 26 to 28.

TORRENTIAL rain, which has lasted more than two days in Osun on Tuesday claimed its first victim as a 60-year-old man lost his life after being trapped by flood.

The victim, simply identified as Elder Olabode, was said to have been trapped in his car by flood on his way back home on Tuesday evening, but his lifeless body was recovered on Wednesday at the bank of River Okooko in Oke Oniti area of Osogbo.

Sources informed Tribune Online that some Hausa men, who were contracted by his family were able to retrieve his body after an intense search, which lasted several hours, just as his corpse was deposited at the morgue of Osun State General Hospital, Asubiaro, Osogbo.

According to eyewitnesses, the 60-year-old Olabode was returning home in his car when he ran into flood and was advised to go back, but he refused.

One of the eyewitnesses, Mr Thomas Onaolapo, said “we all warned him to go back but he didn’t listen. After moving for few minutes, the intensity of the flood forced open the booth of his car and the flood trapped him.”

“Two people standing nearby made attempt to rescue him and one of them nearly got drowned in the process and we all became powerless. So there was nothing we could do again to save him,” he remarked.

However, during a condolence visit to the family of Olabode, the state commandant of Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Mr Ayodele Philips, implored residents to avoid flood prone areas, with a view to avoid being trapped.

Our correspondent, who monitored the effect of the flood, observed that areas terribly affected by the ravaging flood in Osogbo include Testing Ground, Fiwasaye and Rasco, where roads were impassable.

Many residents of the affected areas have vacated their residences, while goods and properties estimated at millions of naira were destroyed by flood.

MASSOB is 17 years old, for those who think the struggle has anything to do with 2015 election

Channels Television.
Updated September 13, 2016
MASSOB, BiafraMembers of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) in Abia State on Tuesday defied the rains as they marched in a peaceful procession through Umuahia and some local government areas.



The procession was to celebrate the 17th year anniversary of the group.

Men, women and retired soldiers who call themselves ‘Freedom fighters’ were seen carrying placards and singing songs hinting that they have reasons to celebrate.

Some of them who spoke to Channels Television disclosed that they would only believe in Nigeria as one nation if things would be done differently.

They condemned what they described as recent massive killings of their fellow southerners in the northern part of the country, inequality in governance, amongst many others.

According to Evans Okoronkwo and Kingsley Nwosu, the way the country is going has become a source of concern that indicates that it is not one nation as being portrayed to the world.

On May 29, 2015, Nigerians handed the ball of change to President Muhammadu Buhari (aka Captain Buhar), a self-acclaimed wizard of change. From the sidelines, they commenced the business of eating gbegiri, tuwo shinkafa and nkwobi, washing it all down with Orijin Bitters and squirts of pure water. From time to time, in between mouthfuls, the spectators would look in the direction of the field, and be thoroughly astonished. What they saw at each glance was that the very wizard of change was stuck in the midfield.
BY OKEY NDIBESEP 13, 2016
On May 29, 2015, Nigerians handed the ball of change to President Muhammadu Buhari (aka Captain Buhar), a self-acclaimed wizard of change. From the sidelines, they commenced the business of eating gbegiri, tuwo shinkafa and nkwobi, washing it all down with Orijin Bitters and squirts of pure water. From time to time, in between mouthfuls, the spectators would look in the direction of the field, and be thoroughly astonished. What they saw at each glance was that the very wizard of change was stuck in the midfield. They watched him dribble incessantly in the midfield, juggling the ball around such formidable opponents as political graft, legislative greed, judicial corruption, bureaucratic ineptitude, infrastructural backwardness, power failure, soaring unemployment, health scare, and educational collapse. He did amazing things with the ball, but seemed adamant against venturing toward the goal post.

Nigerians, exasperated, raised the amp of their voices, urging lanky Captain Buhar to move like Neymar, to slice past all defenders like Messi—and to aim at scoring goals for (a) change. For months and months, the captain was unheeding.

And then, last Thursday, September 8, as if tired of the noise from the sidelines, the captain lobbed the ball—no, not toward the goalpost—right into the stands. Then Captain Buhar donned his flowing white agbada and read us all a pretty speech to spell out his act. In sum, he told every single one of us to be our own Neymar and Messi, to score our own goal.

The subject of the speech was “Change Begins With Me”. Proclaimed the captain: “Nigeria today is passing through a challenging moment where hardly anything works in a normal manner. Many have attributed this phenomenon to the total breakdown of our core values over the years. It is safe to say today that honesty, hard work, Godliness have given way to all kinds of manifestations of lawlessness and degeneration in our national life. This is why we have among our cardinal objectives ‘change’, which implies the need for a change of attitude and mindset in our everyday life.”

Caught between false modesty and pride, he added: “I need not mention the serious effort we have engaged in since the inception of this administration on the fight against corruption in our public life. With the progress we have so far made in that regard, we feel the need to ensure that we put in place the necessary sustainable framework for action and measures that will help to entrench and consolidate the progress achieved so far.

“This we believe can best be maintained through attitudinal change, and the change of our mindset in private and public life. The campaign we are about to launch today is all about the need for us to see change not merely in terms of our economic, social progress but in terms of our personal behavior on how we conduct ourselves, engage our neighbors, friends and generally how we relate with the larger society in a positive and definitive way and manner that promotes our common good and common destiny, change at home, change in the work place, change at traffic junction, change at traffic lights etc…The long-cherished and time honored, time-tested virtues of honesty, integrity, hard work, punctuality, good neighborliness, abhorrence of corruption and patriotism, have given way in the main to dishonesty, indolence, unbridled corruption and widespread impunity.”

Having struck all the familiar rhetorical notes, the Captain urged all Nigerians to “realize that the change they want to see begins with them, and that personal and social reforms are not theoretic exercise. If you have not seen the change in you, you cannot see it in others or even the larger society. In other words, before you ask ‘where is the change they promised us’, you must first ask how far have I changed my ways, ‘what have I done to be part of the change for the greater good of society.’” And he signed off by declaring, “Indeed I say to the glory of Mighty Allah, ‘Change Begins With Me’”.

President Buhari’s testament on change is, in a profound sense, self-evidently sensible. No deity or angel, much less a mere mortal, has the capacity to solve Nigeria’s crises. In fact, you can’t change a people if they are determined to cleave to toxic values and pathological conduct. On numerous occasions, I’ve cautioned against the Nigerian attitude of wrecking our lives and country, all the while trusting that God (or some superhuman, deputizing for divinity) would come down and clean up after us.

The question is, what took Mr. Buhari so long? Why did he and his party give the impression, during his run for the presidency, that he personified change and incarnated the answers to Nigeria’s longstanding malaise? Months ago, in a piece titled, “What we all owe Buhari,” I’d written as follows: “What Buhari owes Nigerians is to invest his time and energy everyday to turning Nigeria around. But—even at his best—he can only get us so far. Nigeria’s fortune is in the hands of all of us—all one hundred and seventy million of us. If we want a different country, a healthier, more robust Nigeria, we better realize that it’s up to us, not to one man.

“Let’s take one example: corruption. Jailing a few corrupt politicians, or even a lot of them, won’t make corruption disappear from the Nigerian space. The police, customs officials, or reporters cannot, with one hand, demand and receive illicit gratification, and, with the other, declare that they want a clime free of corruption.

“If Nigeria must be rid of this malaise, then Nigerians must face up to their culpability in fertilizing this unwholesome practice. Every Okeke, Segun, Okon and Musa should resolve neither to offer a bribe nor demand one. We should abandon the habit of excusing or defending corruption when the accused perpetrators happen to belong to our ethnic or religious group…If Mr. Buhari is to succeed, he must define his agenda and stay the course. But—of even more critical import—he’d need Nigerians’ collective commitment and eternal vigilance.”

A more important question to President Buhari is why, as president, and having heralded himself as a change catalyst, he has hardly defined an agenda nor used his offices to alter the system of doing things in Nigeria. It’s not enough to urge Nigerians to cease giving or receiving bribes when you, as president, have not put in place a system to deter police officers who shoot and kill drivers for refusing to cough up a fifty naira bribe. It’s worse when the president has done zilch to address allegations of corruption against some of his top appointees.

Last week, the anti-corruption group, BudgIT, questioned the sincerity of the administration’s “Change Begins With Me” mantra. It noted that Mr. Buhari and leaders at all levels of governance had failed the transparency test. BudgIT challenged: “Let change start with National Assembly telling us how N115bn is spent. Let change start with a cogent explanation why Nigerian government needs 11 aircraft in a recession. Let change start with the government responding to our FOI (Freedom of Information) requests on how much money has been given to states as bailout. Let change start with the government explaining why it released N400bn for capital expenditure, with no project details…Let change start with the government telling the people how much funds have been recovered and who returned what…Let change start with the reversal of illegal recruitment into government agencies…”

Hundreds of air travellers booked on Nigerian Arik airline are currently stranded across the country, following the inability of the airline to airlift them to their destinations.
BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORKSEP 13, 2016
Hundreds of air travellers booked on Nigerian Arik airline are currently stranded across the country, following the inability of the airline to airlift them to their destinations.

Since early morning today, none of the airline’s aircraft has been operated to any destinations in Nigeria, West Africa and other routes.
SaharaReporters learnt that the massive debts of the airline to major oil marketers who regularly supply aviation fuel is partially responsible for the current situation of the airline. A source told our reporters that in addition to the airline's inability to buy for fuel, its insurers in Europe and elsewhere had withdrawn insurance cover from the airline forcing the airline to stop flight operations altogether.

A source close to the oil marketers told our correspondent that the airline is a bad debtor as it currently owes at least N3 billion to all its suppliers, a situation, which has made them not to supply Jet A1 to the airline.

The sordid situation may also affect the airline’s long-haul operations to Heathrow Airport in London and New York in the United States of America.

Some of the early morning flights of Arik Air include Lagos-Abuja at 6:45 am and 7:30, Abuja-Lagos at 8:00 and 9:00. Others are Benin, Port Harcourt, Asaba, and Kano.

A passenger with the airline, Chris Amokwu told our correspondent that he had been at the airport as early as 7:00 for a 7:30 am flight to Abuja, but as at 1 pm, he was yet to know if he would eventually make the trip to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

According to him, the airline attributed its inability to operate to the scarcity of Jet A1 and poor weather condition.

But, SaharaReporters can confirm that Jet A1 is available in the local scene as airlines like Med-View, Air Peace and Landover Airways have been operating since morning despite the alleged scarcity of aviation fuel and poor weather by the airline.

When our correspondent contacted the spokesman of the airline, Ola Adebanji, he said he was not aware of the development as he was still bereaved, having lost his mother over the weekend.

Arik Air is the third airline to shut down flight operations in Nigeria in the last three weeks following the suspension of flight by Aero Contractors and First Nation.

our problem is not reliance on oil alone, our problem is that Abuja has enslaved us all

So asking Buhari a simple question is now hatred?? And why has he not responded to the question officially instead of this crap.

Ndigbo kwenu. Say no to quota system. Let them continue enjoying nepotism in govt we must uphold our culture of meritocracy

when we watch President Muhammadu Buhari's administration, we see a series of crashes. The ministers are like large trucks. The Central Bank Governor Godwin Emefiele, Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari, the Army Chief of Staff Tukur Yusuf Buratai, the Attorney General Abubakar Malami, the Code of Conduct Tribunal Chairman Danladi Umar, the President's 4 or 5-member Daura-Katshina Kitchen Cabinet are like sedans. The Inspector General of Police Ibrahim Idris, Director General Chief of the State Security Service (SSS) Lawal Musa Daura, are like sports cars without wheels. The driving and the ride couldn't be anything else other than fender-bender with all the different makes and models dented and damaged in a head-on collision. Can you hear the crash?

What a unfitting tribute to unforgiving times we face in Nigeria. The Buhari administration lost most of its soul and much of its national appeal in the last few months. But it exploded in recent weeks. The administration has not moved the needle of the economy figuratively and literally.

In a recent exclusive interview on the economy with The Interview, a monthly publication, President Buhari said the Vice-President Professor Yemi Osinbajo is the head of his Economic Management Team. The Interview queries the President: “You have been criticized for not having an economic team. Don't you think you need one?” The President shot back: “What do you mean by team? The Vice-President heads our economic management team. You have a finance minister, a budget, and planning minister, a minister for industry, trade and investments, a governor of Central Bank, a national economic adviser, and others, yet some still ask for a team. I don't know how you define the word, 'team'.

August 22, 2016, SaharaReporters published a story titled “Buhari Seeks Emergency Powers to Tackle Economy” The story was credited to The Nation Newspaper. “Government sources said the decision to seek emergency powers for the President was based on a proposal from the economic team headed by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo,” reports SaharaReporters. According to SaharaReporters, “The objectives of the action-plan on the economy include shoring up the value of the naira, creation of more jobs, boosting of foreign reserves, reviving the manufacturing sector and improving power.”

The mandate given to Mr. Buhari March 28, 2015 was clear and challenging: rescue Nigeria from the throes of its worst economic depletion, and social and political depression. The President should realize that this recession is a serious and stubborn recession so much that the old solutions won't work. The country is in disorder and in disarray. Government policies and programs have been chaotic, confusing, and contradictory. Mr. Buhari's economic, social, and political incoherence is sure recipe for unrest. Nigerians aren't sure of the future or even present cause. The intoxicating mix of the President's foot dragging, indecision, and aloofness make the situation lethal. The President shows no pragmatism, no flexibility, and no aggressiveness to turbo charge the ailing economy.

We elected Mr. Buhari as President because we see him as the paragon of leadership, a father-figure who re-assured a desperate and frustrated nation that he was up to the task. We expect the President to bring sizable coterie of seasoned advisers to a degree unprecedented in the history of our nation. With able advisers we expect him to stabilize the Nigerian financial system, provide relief and jobs to the suffering, and re-energize Nigeria's capitalist economy. We expect him to re-create the role of the federal government in Nigerian economic and political life. We expect him to meet the immediate crisis of starvation and the dire needs of the nation's army of the unemployed by establishing public relief programs.

Because the President does not possess the expertise required to manage the national economy, an advisory body is needed to advise the President on domestic and international economic policy. Mr. President, you need a new economic crack team. Disband the Osinbajo team and replace with Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) similar to what the US have. The CEA should comprise at minimum three members and at maximum five appointed by the President, including a chairman subject to Senate approval. Each appointee should be a person trained and educated in economics. It'll be a group of distinguished economic high level economic professors and economic analysts.

They must have academic background that provides a high level of technical sophistication. They must be able to forecast growth, inflation, and employment. They must be able to see what happens if they change certain assumptions. The CEA will advise the President on economic policy. It will provide much of the objective empirical research for the President and prepares annual economic report of the President. The report will give the economic background that supports the President's annual budget. It will explain what's happened to the economy over the past year and forecast growth for the next year. They must be qualified to analyze, appraise, and interpret economic data and government programs, as well as formulate and recommend national economic policy.

The CEA will promote employment by way of job creation, production, and purchasing power. It will make recommendations for new legislation setting interest rate policy, export and import policies as well as suggest cuts or increases in government spending on general or specific budget items. It will review economic indicators. Each month it will provide the joint National Assembly Economic Committee a summary of crucial statistical areas – Gross Domestic Product (GDP), which means total economic output, income and employment, production and business activity, and inflation. It will also report on financial statistics like the size of the money supply and credit, security markets, federal finance and international statistics. It'll review federal agencies – their relevancy, duplication, redundancy. Suggest ways to avoid future economic crises or end existing ones, recommends ways to maintain employment and production. Provides economic research reports, provides sophisticated guidance to the President as he formulates policy and prepares annual budget.

The President doesn't need any emergency economic powers to jumpstart the economy. Nigerians are so confused about why the economy is so bad – and our President isn't telling us much. The government has to step in quickly to boost the economy. At a time when all the nation's eyes are on the President, seeking an answer to what's happening, he choose not to talk about the need for a bold jobs plan but talking about national orientation policy.

In his first address to the Congress, Mr. Obama put his top priority for America's beleaguered workers in simple terms: “ Now is the time to jumpstart job creation.” Known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, it seeks to bring timely relief to 11.6 million unemployed Americans. Shortly after Congress approved $787 billion stimulus plan, Mr. Obama Said: “We have once-in-a-generation chance to act boldly and turn adversity into opportunity, and to use this crisis as a chance to transform this economy for the 21st century.”

Mr. Obama's stimulus package breakdown is as follows: $27.5 billion for highway projects, $340 million for watershed and flood prevention operations, and watershed rehabilitation, $2.5 billion for distance learning, telemedicine, and broadband programs, $150 million for economic development assistance programs, $4.7 billion for a broadband technology opportunities program, $6 billion for local clean water initiatives, $21 billion to laid-off workers with employer provided health insurance through COBRA, $53.6 billion to help states deal with budget deficits, $36.2 billion for energy spending, $19.9 billion for aid to poor families, a tax credit up to $400 for low-and-middle-income individuals and $800 for families, a one time payment of $250 to recipients of Social Security and government disability.

In 2013, the Bank of Japan pursued an unprecedented $1.4 trillion stimulus plan to loosen monetary policy and spur economic growth. The Bank of Japan's shock therapy was designed to jumpstart the world's third largest economy which was hard hit by collapsing exports to China and European Union, falling domestic auto sales, and decelerating post-tsunami reconstruction spending. In 2008, China unveiled an economic stimulus program totaling $586 billion, aimed to bolster domestic demand and help avert a global recession. The plan includes spending in housing, infrastructure, agriculture, healthcare and social welfare, and a tax deduction for capital spending by companies.

Last year, South Korea reeled out a stimulus rescue worth 16.1 trillion won ($14.31 billion) to jumpstart Asia's fourth largest economy as it fought to overcome the twin challenges of weak domestic and global demand. “Our fiscal soundness will worsen temporarily,” says Bang Moon-Kyu Vice Finance Minister, “but we have decided it is more important to make the economy recover early on and create a sturdy fiscal foundation,” says Moon-kyu.

The US President, the Japanese Prime Minister, and the South Korean leader in the examples cited above, didn't ask for any special emergency powers to jumpstart their economies. They did what they have to do. All the President needs is activate his presidential initiatives and executive powers, and craft a job stimulus package bill and send it to the National Assembly. If the Osinbajo team doesn't know what to do and where it's headed, why not just copy and paste the Obama stimulus package that jump started the American economy? The magnitude of the current unemployment crisis demands a boldness and urgency that's utterly lacking.

In what way is Buhari different from any other Nigerian leader before him? Let us purge ourselves of hate Buhari can neither succeed nor fail . It is Nigeria that will fail or succeed and it is not Buhari that will make the difference it is each and everyone of us . If he is doing wrong we should keep up the pressure and come 2019 if we are not content we vote him out. Besides Buhari we have 36 state governors. They too have their own role to play.
If Buhari is not the right man what can we do? The nature of democracy is to talk and be heard. He was voted in and sometimes voters make mistakes. The Abacha issue is totally irrelevant.
If you identify the right person then start supporting them

I don't understand all this hate hate you people keep talking about, if anybody is full of hate it is Buhari himself, his hateful and vindictive posture is why we are here in the first place.

mayorbch:
Obasanjo under PDP made GSM technology available for us. GEJ under PDP made democracy and freedom of speech more attractive. He gave up power for you to come in; that's something Mr. President.

Most importantly, under PDP, there was food and there was a well defined economic policy and of course, a good economic team. Despite the stealing and corruption, Nigeria rose above global economic recession, and fought ebola. That's all I can remember for now. PDP failed in many other aspects but to be fair, things weren't as bad as they are now.
Thanks

you forgot the part where GEJ made our trains run again which the dullard's brothers are now using to transport their rams to Lagos
