[quote author=Rhino.5dm]Is that the speacial assistance to the president on "NEW MEDIA"? Please what is "NEW MEDIA"? Updating facebook, Twitter and attacking people on Nairaland?[/quote]Quit talking like a toilet fly. Nobody expects anything, but immorality from a boko haram promoter like you. Forging accounts, lying and gutter immorality are all expected off your kind.

This is Rhino.5dm expressing his love for boko haram. This is an excerpt from a thread he created that basically hero worshipped Mohammed Yusuf, the founder of boko haram as "a cool guy."

[quote author=Rhino.5dm]And thier reasons??. . . Illegal clamping, jailing and continue detention of their members without any recourse to justice, ordered by the state government. This was done purposely to satisfy “other” high ranking Islamic scholars in the state (pseudo-political scholars) with different ideology and doctrine. Before this, there was the incident of refusal of allowing them to continue practicing their faith in the state.
The slain leader of Boko Haram was a cool guy (No pun intended), which can be invited to ANY discussion without any hesitant or refusal. From my personal study and understanding the motive of the group, [b]I won’t be far from the truth if I say the group came out to protest against the long failure of northern political oligarch[/b]y, which has violated every opportunity to transform and educate their masses. I have listen and watched Yusuf (slain Boko Haram) leader defending his ideology, which I think to some extent is mainly trying to create awareness to the crime of the politicians.[/quote]https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-762548.0.html

Very dangerous statements indeed, no one describes terrorists as "cool guys." It shows the sort of cold blooded traitor we are dealing with here.

The nation is in mourning today.
Unlike you, I am not campaigning and don't give a damn if you vote for GEJ or not (and neither is GEJ my oga or whatever id!otic lies you line up); I really do not have the time of day for vermin for whom news of blood is an opportunity.

Bawss1: Fights like these are not good for anybody. Whether real or not the tragedy of yesterday's crash should not be used for any political agenda. Let's all for once desist from such behaviour
We can continue to call the president to order but not by making up stories concerning the crash. That's just plain distasteful.

Simple.
I don't even understand how a thread containing low forgeries and lies like this one could have made the front page.

All decent Nigerians are in mourning, and to many, this thread marks a deep violation of our morals and dignity. It would not be surprising if most of those on the Dana flight were NLers, is this how to repay their custom?

Lol! I can see the clouds of bats that had been prepared to feast on the aircrash victims blood springing to life!
A brood of liars, vampires and absolute demons.

150 Nigerians die in an air crash and the best and while the nation is in mourning, all the usual boko haram loving witches and devils can come up with is ways to forge Abati's account in under 24 hours?

How evil can people be? This is a real shocker.

I recall complaining about the forgeries of my own profile here on NL, but nothing happened. You can see the complaint below; now the miscreants have graduated to forging Abati's twitter account:

Beaf: Why are so many people allowed to register as variations of Beaf? Impersonation is a crime anywhere in the World and even though the rules on NL are lax to the point of absurdity, such a blatant display of criminality should not be allowed. To date I have counted the following impostors:

beaf
Beaf!
Beaf::
kill_Beaf
Roast_Beaf

...And who knows how many I've missed?

Please can something be done about this, I've already had at least one bitter argument with another poster who was very certain I said something about Edo people which I never did. I do not believe rules should be lax to the point that unhealthiness becomes pervasive. Thank you.

Kind regards

The only logic delivering, metal chomping, stup!dity healing, woman luv'n Beaf.

ballabriggs: Says the fraud who created this thread- Why Would ACN Spit On Mko's Name With Paid "Student Demonstration's" - Politics - Nairaland

https://www.nairaland.com/952580/why-would-acn-spit-mkos

Bloody SCUM!!!

150 Nigerians die in an accident all you can think of are grievous lies and how to forge accounts of top govt functioneries to lie on NL, twitter and facebook.
The amount of wickedness, evil and hate in you people is shocking. You started with boko haram, because that is failing, you are sinking to the low of using national tragedies to propagate your hateful lies. Dude, some things are a step too far and you better repent.

Those who died yesterday are people like you and I. People with families, husbands, wives, daddies, mummies, friends, relatives; they are people who left behind grieving loved ones. It takes a creepy kind of person to use their blood as a vehicle for lies.

But with boko haram, blood is not new to you and your kind.

Shame.

ballabriggs: Who are you mourning? Mourn not because your lies contributed in the killing of our compatriots. It is a system thrown upside down because frauds like you benefit from it. You dwell on propagating falsehood to the detriment of a better life for our citizens. Now we have seen the outcome and you say you are "mourning". Would your mourning change all the lies you have propagated in the past.

GET A LIFE YOU BLOODY HYPOCRITE!!!

Shout and lie all you can, buddy. Its great that all of this is happening in the most public way.

Who is dancing in the innocent blood of the crash victims? YOU.
Who has forged Abati's account? YOU.
Who is published false pictures of Beaf as Reno Omokri? YOU.
Who is using the unfortunate deaths of 150 yesterday as a cheap political tool? YOU.
Who is telling lies at this moment? YOU.
It is quite clear what has been exposed of you in one short NL page.

Quite clearly, you are like Satan. Lies and blood are your party. You are the most despicable and hatefilled lying creature that can exist.
Tell me, what makes a man so desperate as to sink to your lows?

All you are after is spreading hatred between the core-North and the rest of the country. Your boko haram is failing, so in desperation you are turning to aircrashes for the milk of your demonic rants.

Shame on you.

Get a life you fraud!

Enjoy your pathetic life mate, on any decent forum, you would have been banned long ago for defaming public individuals and spreading falsehoods.
While we mourn the dead, all you can think of are Satanic ways to profit from blood and falsehoods. Forging twitter accounts and publishing fake pictures.

Nairaland allows people like you to proliferate, so continue with your lies, hate and dance in innocent blood. It gets you on the front page.

Well done NL! Great work!

What is most pathetic is that while we are mourning 150 Nigerians unfortunately lost in the plane crash; the wicked and evil ones amongst us feel they can score cheap political points in blood.
Why dance in the blood of the dead? What is the difference between this thread and what boko haram does?

The way NL allows and actively promotes gutter lies and a[i]n[/i]al threads is absolutely disgusting.

Good work Nairaland moderators! You are one in a million!

Keep it up Nairaland, its easier than you think to achieve the status of the gutter.
An id!ots task is cheap. Even the Worlds greatest fool can deliberately spread falsehoods.
Welldone NL. Bravo!

Wilfem: Hmmm! Nigerians with their thinking mentality. The above OP should have made further findings before making the above post. The original/authentic twitter account of the Presidential spokes man is @DrReubenAbati, so you should know that the other one, @abati1990 is definitely up to something. You can do the findings yourself.

Quite clearly, NL has become an official engine to create falsehoods and launch personal attacks.
Every id!otic thread makes it to the front page.

Shame on the moderators and their toilet floor standards.

Pathetic.

The pictures on TV from the scene of the crash are very troubling and shameful. Many of us have sunk below the lines of rank bestiality.

Incidents like this prove that a huge proportion of Nigerians have mental problems. It is a very serious issue that govt needs to form strategies to tackle; seeing such pictures brodcast on TV to be shown all over is very deeply embarrassing.

Why are people insulting the governor? Is common sense in such short supply in the country?
Please people, think before you post.

[quote author=Akanbi_edu]This is largely about 2015 presidential elections. I believe GEJ would run for a second term.

We all know where Osun went in 2011.[/quote]LOLZZZZZZZ!!!
By 2015 Aregbesola will be in the zoo!

CuteTj: Is the simple truth 'extreme opinion'? I guess you have started enjoying Govt. money too. Yes, Abiola deserves to be honoured but your principal seems to be a professional in bungling goodwill. There are many areas your principal has performed poorly.

Please cut out the "your principal" crap, it doesn't make for intelligent conversation. I have no principal, or are you relaying the thoughts of your own principal, making you feel everyone is like you? Lets not annoy each other.

The reason I use the term "extreme opinion" is evident in the dogs post immediately above this one. It is mind boggling what anyone imagines such outbursts would achieve, aside from the sorts of utterly disgraceful scenes at Maulag; where those with contacts with Nigerians abroad acted in thoroughly despicable ways that have seen Yoruba elders begin to scramble for cover.

The closest description for what the unilag students did is, sacrilege. They spat on Nigeria's history, on June 12, on MKO and on the fundamental part Lagos played in the June 12 struggle.
The action of the students is an ode to the new loud emptiness everyone seems to be proud to exhibit these days. As one of those who battled on the streets for the June 12 cause, I feel betrayed, violated and shocked. Indeed, at the time, I battled on the streets shoulder to shoulder with brave Maulag students, eyeballing Abacha and daring the system.
Those were the days when the youth still had their heads firmly screwed on.

I posted this elsewhere about the importance of Lagos to June 12:

Beaf: GEJ can do anything he wishes with the name of Unilag Maulag.
If anyone deslikes it, they can build their own.

I am very happy Abiola has been immortalised.
He lived in Lagos, worked in Unilag, carried out the struggle in Lagos, was arrested in Lagos, many died for his mandate in Lagos, his wife Kudirat was shot dead in Lagos, Abiola's Concord newspaper house was burnt down and closed in Lagos, Alex Ibru was shot in Lagos over June 12, Guardian newspaper was burnt and closed in Lagos, Abacha attacked the BBC transmitter in Lagos.

Blood flowed like water in Lagos.

Many people don't know the gravity of the rejection of MKO. They really don't know.

Who are the fake Beaf(s)? Show yourself else you'll be smoked out...

Lol! I no get duplicate! Patent infringers will be summarily executed by molue accident.

I've complained to the mods about this, but they don't care (thats if some of the fake Beaf's are not mods). NL is a dirty place where some are eerily desperate.

@topic
Amaechi has played a very bad hand. It can only point to one thing, he hopes to set up as a godfather in Rivers with residual powers long after he has left. Governors usually become senators (fill in the gap).

brentkruge: Its obvious, El Rufai's game plan. Mix in your prejudice with some truths and it just may stick.

...
The way Jonathan administration is raking up debt is astonishing. Whats worse, the loans are for, as usual, things that have no direct bearing on the common man. In some cases, the loans or are not made public. I find it worrisome that the debt profile of Nigeria has blossomed since the efforts of OBJ to bring it under control.
...

Your summary was generally quite balanced (aside from being caught up in the "clueless" fad). Yje excerpt above needs correction, though.
The money states borrow is grouped as part of Nigeria's external debt, because Nigeria effectively borrows the money on behalf of the state govt and deducts the payments from its statutary allocations. Lagos, for example id responsible for between 9 and 10 percent of Nigeria's external debt.

There has been a rachetting up of massive borrowing in recent times by all ACN states and other states like Rivers. This is the figure that one can percieve to be mounting at an exponencial, but feral minds like El-Rufai's are too low to explain that fact. They would rather blame borrowing by state govts on GEJ.

Degis: Indeed, you can beat Joseph Goebbels at his game of misinformation. Is the Borno state's Governors Lodge not where Kabiru Sokoto was hiding?. Check your facts, Borno state is led by ANPP. Meanwhile, it was Kabiru Sokoto and not Abu Qaqa. BORNO STATE AND NOT FG paid 100M because it was a Judgement debt not because it caught its fancy. Will you stop misinforming gullible.

Lol! Are you paying attention to 1025? That dude is like NL's unrepentant mapographer and "electricity engineer," becomerich.

CuteTj: i know how Nigeria was and i still know how it is. It is now clear that GEJ is surrounded by sycophants.

So I was 100% right, enh?
Many of those abroad with the same sort of extreme opinions as yours are also either politians kids of move in the same circles as politicians kids.
There is a backlash against those uncouth souls that spat on MKO's legacy, if you don't know.

Please can the OP be warned and this thread be moved to the Culture section or to the Ethnic, Racial, Or Sectarian Politics section?

https://www.nairaland.com/954082/why-yoruba-culture-accommodates-success#11001688

Thanks.

Is there any reason why a thread like this is in the politics section?
I am quite sure the OP realises that a culture section exists.

CuteTj: i guess he didn't put that into consideration before. It won't be a smooth sail for GEJ on the floor of the house. I guess you didn't realise that his fortunes seems to be dwindling BADLY.

Why do you think it won't be a smooth sail? There aren't many ACN members of the NASS.
Who outside ACN, do you think is going to vote against MKO's legacy for petty political gain?

Anytime I hear tales about GEJ's fortunes dwindling, I can be 90% certain that I am talking to someone who lives abroad.

manny4life: Haba Beaf,

So you endorse this?

That Lagos does same doesn't mean Rivers should do the same... Like I was though, two wrongs don't make a right.

Look carefully, that was one of the fake Beafs.
I challenged it here:
https://www.nairaland.com/954217/governor-amaechi-awards-himself-lifetime/1#11001094

I do not endorse any such lifetime pensions. The money will be better spent on the poor.

CuteTj: the fact still remains that GEJ and you guys seem to be ignorant of the law. You guys should stop doing shoddy jobs.

This is the law, bro:
GEJ renames. NASS ratifies. Period.

This is the real reason for boko haram. A wildly desperate fight to keep ill gotten oil blocks whose licenses will expire between 2016 and 2018.

Rewind...

[size=14pt]DEPRIVATION & DERIVATION PRINCIPLES: WHY THE NORTH IS POOR (I)[/size]
26/02/2012 06:24:00 THEWILL

[img]http://thewillnigeria.com/thumbnail.php?file=poor_658286182.jpg&size=article_medium[/img]

"According to official figures, the leading oil producing state, Rivers, received N1,053 billion between 1999 and 2008 in federal allocations. By contrast the North-eastern states of Yobe and Borno, where the Boko Haram sect was created, received N175bn and N213bn respectively. Broken down on a per capita basis, the contrast is even starker. In 2008 the 18.97m people who lived in the six states in the north-east received on average N1,156 per person.

"By contrast Rivers state was allocated N3,965 per capita, and on average the oil producing South- South region received on average N3,332 per capita. This imbalance is compounded when the cost of an amnesty programme for militants in the delta is included together with an additional 1 per cent for a special development body for the Niger Delta. To boot, the theft of oil by profiteers in the region diverts tens of millions more weekly from federal coffers." – Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.

Yes, forget these per capita figures! I agree the North is poor. Yes, I agree the poverty has bred millions of destitutes, who have become instant and easy recruits for Boko Haram. But my question is: Who impoverished the North?

A caveat: I am an unabashed capitalist who believes that every citizen has a right to do good business and make profit. I salute hard work and do not disparage honest efforts. However, uncompassionate capitalism driven by pulleys of aristocracy breeds a brutal class order worthy of condemnation.

In my last article titled – “Elrufai’s amnesia: The day Boko Haram Wore Jeans”, I categorically stated that greed and the senseless chase for power by the Fulani aristocrats and political elites of the North are responsible for the extreme poverty of the North. I still and will always stand by that. My position did not go down well with my targets; they responded with vituperations.

[b]Mallam Sanusi’s statistics was intended to mislead us by ruffling the rudder of our common sense. See, Ekiti state has a 2012 budget 0f N88 billion; Kwara state, N90 billion; Cross River state, N144 billion; Anambra state, N82 billion; Enugu state, N74 billion. Now let’s look at the 2012 budgets recently passed into law by the four major Boko Haram occupied states – Kano state has a budget of N 210 billion; Borno state, 150 billion; Gombe, N94 billion; Yobe state, 80 billion.

A simple comparative analysis shows that Ekiti state has about the same revenue as Yobe and Gombe, but only 17 students passed WAEC and NECO in Gombe state last year, while Ekiti is known for its high literacy level. Gombe state has a bigger budget that Enugu and Anambra, why hasn’t MASSOB bombed anyone. Borno state has a budget twice that of Enugu state but the poverty and unemployment level in Borno state is more than thrice that of Enugu state. Borno has a bigger budget than a Niger Delta state- Cross River, while the leaders of that state over the last decade have transformed it into the Nation’s leading tourist destination; those of Borno have transformed it into a Somalia.

Kano state gets the highest statutory allocation from the FG, because on paper Kano is the most populated state in Nigeria, yet Kano has about 1.6 million destitute Almajiris. Kano has a budget almost thrice the budget of Enugu, twice the budget of Kwara, Anambra and Ekiti, but how come almost 90% of students in Kano fail WAEC? How come the poverty level in Kano is higher than all these states put together?[/b]

Why is the North so poor? From the figures above I have shown that Southern states with lesser budgets have shown better development performance than most North Eastern states with bigger statutory allocation and budgets.

Now, I need to tackle the sensitive question of revenue allocation that has infuriated the Mallam Lamido Sanusi and Mallam Elrufai and their likes. Niger Delta states get higher revenue allocation because they contribute virtually all the eggs in the national crate. That is expected. Albeit the 13% remains grossly inadequate, the CBN Governor has suggested that his Boko boys are resisting the disparity.

[size=14pt]I want to posit that the North-East through their aristocrats and ex-military rulers (except Gen. Mohammed Buhari) rake in more oil money (from the Niger Delta) individually than any Niger Delta state, and collectively more than twice the entire Niger Delta put together. In this disquisition, I have attempted to show that 80% of crude oil and gas produced by indigenous companies is controlled by the North-East. It is an area they have well conquered through General IBB, Abacha and Abdulsalami. However, the loots never get back home.[/size]

In this first part I will attempt to describe the very uneven nature of the distribution of the nation’s wealth among the Northern aristocratic families and their military generals who for decades looted Nigeria. They did so blatantly, and while Nigeria was weeping about oil windfall loot and others, Nigerians would wail if they know how much of the nation’s resources these folks allocated to themselves and their business fronts before they stepped aside.

Let us therefore begin.

To the state of origin of Boko Haram: Borno State. Enter Cavendish Petroleum, the operators of OML 110 – with good yielding OBE field. This oil block was awarded to Alhaji Mai Deribe - the Borno patriarch, who even in death will remain the richest man dead or alive in the history of Borno state- by General Sani Abacha on the 8th of July, 1996. OML 110 has a proven oil reserve in excess of 500 million barrels (More than the entire 300milliom barrels reserve of Sudan). As yet with the capacity to produce about 120,000 barrels of crude oil daily from its OBE 4 and OBE 5 wells. At current production levels, the Mai Deribes net circa N4billion monthly in crude oil sales (Using current oil price of $100pb). Cavendish Petroleum’s N4bn monthly net dwarfs the monthly statutory allocation of Borno which is about N3bn and its internally generated revenue staggers around N1billion.

See his mansion, a tourist attraction -
http://kyata.aminus3.com/image/2009-08-17.html

[b]I will then shift to the centre of the Fulani aristocratic hegemony in the North East – Kano. Here. Enter the Fulani Prince Nasiru Ado Bayero, Mallam (Prince) Sanusi Lamido Sanusi’s cousin. He is a Key shareholder and director in Seplat/Platform petroleum operators of the Asuokpu/Umutu Marginal Field with a capacity of 300,000 barrels monthly and A 30mmfcsd gas plant capable of feeding 100MT of LPG. The Ado Bayeros, Yar’Aduas and Atiku Abubakar are Nigerian holders of Intels. It is a private port that has grounded three Federal ports in the South. Intels is discussed later.

Enter South Atlantic Petroleum Limited (SAPETRO). South Atlantic Petroleum (SAPETRO) is a Nigerian Oil Exploration and Production Company that was created in 1995 by General T. Y. Danjuma. General Sani Abacha awarded the Oil Prospecting License (OPL) 246 to SAPETRO in February 1998.

The block covers a total area of 2,590km2 (1,000 sq. miles). SAPETRO partnered with Total Upstream Nigeria Ltd (TUPNI) and Brasoil Oil Services Company Nigeria Ltd (Petrobras) to start prospecting on OPL246. Akpo, a condensate field was discovered in April 2000 with the drilling of the first exploration well (Akpo 1) on the block. Other discoveries made on OPL 246 include the Egina Main, Egina South, Preowei and Kuro (Kuro was suspended as a dry gas/minor oil discovery).

In June 2006, General TY Danjuma divested part of its contractor rights and obligations to China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) for $1 billion (N160bn). Akpo exports about 230,000 barrels of condensate daily. Condensate export is not regulated by OPEC, so SAPETRO/TOTAL exports as much as possible each day. Egina exports about 75,000 barrels of oil daily.

Therefore, Akpo and Egina fields export just over 300,000 barrels of oil/condensate daily (three times what the country Ghana exports). SAPETRO (TY Danjuma) get 25% of this. Now, note I have not talked about the gas component – it’s about 2.5 trillion cubic feet. The money SAPETRO nets each month is more than the monthly statutory allocation of all the Niger states combined and also more than the oil revenue of Ghana. Do your math.

Enter AMNI (or is it AMIN?) International Petroleum Development Company. AMNI owns two oil blocks – OML 112 and OML 117. In the production sharing contract, AMNI gets 60% for owning the oil block and Total gets 40% for providing technical advice. OML 112 was awarded on the 12/02/1998 while OML 117 was awarded 06/08/1999 all by Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar. Operations started on both blocks 0n 26/02/2006. The licenses are due to expire 11/02/2018 and 05/08/2019 respectively. (Now you see why the next election is important?).

The Okoro and Setu fields in OML 112 are operated by Afren Energy, a company substantially controlled by Rilwanu Lukman. The Okoro and Setu oil fields have about 50 million barrels in reserve and currently produce/exports just a little below 20,000 barrels per day. The chairman of AMNI International Petroleum and Development Company is Alhaji (Colonel) Sani Bello a Fulani from Kontagora, Niger State. Lest I forget, Alhaji Bello’s son- Abu, is married to General Abdusalami Abubakar's eldest daughter.

Enter Oriental Energy Resources Limited, a company owned by Alhaji Mohammed Indimi, a Fulani and close friend of General Ibrahim Babangida. Also worthy of note is that General IBB’s first son is married to Alhaji Mohammed Indimi’s daughter – Yakolo Indimi-Babangida, who also serves as a director in the company. Alhaji Indimi hails from Niger State.

Oriental Energy Resources Limited runs three oil blocks: OML 115, the Okwok field and the Ebok field. OML 115 and Okwo are OML PSC, while Ebok is an OML JV. All of them crown offshore oil blocks. OML 115 on its own is 228 sqKm. On OML115 Oriental Energy Resources Limited has 60 per cent while Equity Energy Resources AS, which Alhjai Aliko Dangote’s oil and gas investment vehicle has 40 per cent (Aliko Dangote is from Kano). On Okwok, Addax has 40% and on the Ebok field, Oriental Energy Resources shares with none: its 100%. AMNI produces twice as much as Cavendish Petroleum.

Enter Express Petroleum and Gas Limited floated by Alhaji Aminu Dantata, solely for the purpose of fronting for winning oil block(s) even though he and the company are in no way qualified for the award. General Abacha awarded him OML 108 on the 1st of November, 1995. CAMAC Houston, a company owned by Kase Lawal bought 2.5% of Express Petroleum’s 60% holdings. The other 40% on OML 108 is owned Sheba E&P Limited an IBB tributary company. SEPCOL operates the Ukpokiti offshore field in Shallow water Nigeria, which was acquired from ConocoPhillips in May 2004.

Enter Shebah Exploration And Production Limited (SEPCOL) . It is the operator of the Oil Mining License 108 offshore Nigeria. Head office is in Lagos, but ‘head quartered’ in Minna.

Enter Consolidated Oil. Conoil Producing Limited is an integrated upstream oil and gas company. They are the operator of six blocks in the Niger Delta as well as 25% Equity holder in the Joint Development Zone (JDZ) Block 4. Corporate Head office is in Lagos, but its ‘Headquarters’ is in Minna, Niger State.

Conoil signed a technical operator agreement with Continental Oil and Gas Limited (CONOG) to provide 100% funding and technical service agreement to operate blocks OML 59 on a 40% (Conoil) / 60% (CONOG) basis. Conoil entered into a Production Sharing Contract with the NNPC by virtue of an agreement executed on 17th October 2008.

Conoil’s has overall potential hydrocarbon resources of over 1.0 Billion Barrels of Oil and 7.0 Trillion Cubic Feet of Gas. General Ibrahim Babangida awarded the first oil block to Conoil in 1991. The company produces about 100,000 barrels per day.

Enter Rilwanu Lukman, another Fulani multimillionaire with fronted controlling holdings in Afren, the operators of AMNI oil blocks and also with very key interest in the NNPC/Vitol trading deal, Vitol is a London based oil trading company. Vitol lifts 350,000 barrels of crude oil daily from Nigeria.

Enter Intels and the Yar’Adua , Ado Bayero family and [size=14pt]Alhaji Abubakar Atiku.[/size] The Oil and Gas Free Zone and Oil Services Centres, as well as Support Bases, are operated from government-owned facilities, leased to Intels under long-term agreements. Intels runs a ‘private port’, a venture that has systematically killed the Calabar, Warri and Port Harcourt ports. There are over one hundred major companies operating at the Intel facility in Port Harcourt. The company makes more money in profit than the government of Rivers, Bayelsa and Delta states put together. I shall give details and figures in the part two of this disquisition.

Finally, for the Part I of this disquisition, I introduce you to NorthEast Petroleum. The name is as clear as the message it sends. I do not need to write so much about NorthEast Petroleum registered as NorEast. NorthEast Petroleum Nigeria Limited is the holder of OPL215 license, covering an area 0f 2,564 square kilometres in water depths between 200 to 1600 metres. NorEast is the parent company of Rayflosh Petroleum Nigeria which got the 2005 bidding round and was awarded the blocks OPLs 276 & 283 closing thereupon a Joint Venture Agreement with Centrica Resources Nigeria Limited and CCC Oil and Gas.

Not surprising, NorthEast Petroleum is owned by another Fulani businessman from the North East, Alhaji Saleh Mohammed Jambo. The license was awarded to him by General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida in 1991 and then renewed in 2004. So far $50Million has been spent on the very promising Okpoi-1 and Egere -1 exploratory well.

In the Part II, we shall finish the discussion. We will table other North Eastern billionaires who make more money than their states of origin from Niger Delta oil blocks.

With all these oil blocks owned by ‘North- Easterners’ in the Niger Delta, it should be clear to Elrufai and Sanusi who really benefits from the Niger Delta Amnesty Programme.

Sadly, National Bureau of Statistics reports from 2010 show Niger State as the poorest state in the Federation, and the North East the poorest region.

With these figures from the National Bureau of Statistics, I rest my case.

Eziachi: My age is not the issue, I am worried about your judgement, that you considered El Rufai to be worthy of been called his supporter in the past, why should, one trust your judgement today about Jonathan whom you again today a big supporter?
Its simply reasoning, I don't know what it got to do with my age or grey hair?
It a brainstorm based on what you said, I did not abuse you in any form or style as that is not my way.
I am not asking for your respect as it means nothing to me being on cyber space, it about discussing issues, just that some people take beyond what it is, exchange of idea by people who will never meet each other ever.

You left the topic like a fool to discuss my judgement? What is your own judgement? Are you a member of boko haram like those I am debating? Do you have oil wells you are blowing the innocent up for? Maybe you have no relations amongst those traders killed in cold blood by gunmen.
Dude, nobody rewards an id!ot like you with niceties; especially when it is ours who are the target. Face the topic if you have the brains or shut the phuck up, sit the phuck down and listen.

The word for shameless sellers of their own like you is traitor.

Respect your grey hair.

I've already said the following on an earlier thread, so all fools screaming Beaf, please kill yourselves. Thank you.

Beaf:

Sky Blue:
Would like to get my hands on that bill. I am not against points 1 (depending on how much we are talking of), nothing wrong with pensions if it would encourage govenors to focus solely on the task of governance, instead of trying to then "get ready" for when they are out of office towards the end of their term which seems to be the case a lot of the time. Number of vehicles and policemen need to be reduced. What is definitely overkill is the 2 houses and furniture allowance. It shows disconnect and insensitivity towards the populace. Again, need to see that bill. Those 2 houses and furniture allowance definitely must be removed from that bill, quite audacious to have had them here to begin with.

Well said. Even if the money seems little, it could go a very long way to saving poor families instead.

It has nothing to do with PDP; Tinubu has received bullet proof jeeps, land etc from Lagos state, long after leaving; only, they couldn't even bother to cover their arses in legalese.

[size=14pt]Gov.fashola,asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu Get N600 Million Bullet Proof Jeeps![/size]

Governor of Lagos State,Babatunde Raji Fashola and his political Godfather,Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu just took delivery of new acquisitions.

Source identified the buy as three bullet proof cars- Jeeps- with bomb detector apparatus and surveillance cameras.

Findings revealed that two of the purchase are with Governor Fashola for official usage as the helmsman of Lagos state. Asiwaju Tinubu is said to have one to his name as party leader.

The brand of the bullet proof cars is identified as Toyota Prado Jeep.

The cost of each jeep- including handling, registration, insurance and other fees- is two hundred million naira. The three jeeps are valued at six hundred million naira.

The cars are customized- by special order.

It is however believed that the Lagos state government footed the bill for the cars.

The three automobiles were reportedly bought for Asiwaju Tinubu and Governor Fashola on grounds of 'security'

Insiders revealed that the two political figures have not gone public with their jeeps.

Beaf: It is totally wrong for governors to be awarded goodies after they've left. Next, we will have reps getting "pension" goodies too.
What it says in big bold text, is that those fellows went into politics strictly for money. For someone with a name like Amaechi, thats no good.
