My guy ,why you wan start trouble?

ghostmist:
please when would they start prosecuting other thieves like Tinubu and Amaechi?

omenka:
I have faith the money would be used judiciously and not embezzled in such a brazen and callous manner as witnessed in previous admins.

For all those who would flood here to throw tantrums, do this little math:

Your Hero was taxing Nigerians over 30 naira per litre of fuel. If you buy just 2litres, you've been "taxed" 60 naira. Do an estimate of the amount the government was making with regards to out total daily consumption- that was what they were realising under the phantom SURE-p. Pray tell, what exactly did they do with all that money??

Can't wait for a comprehensive probe of that programme- I'm sure we'd stumble on another gargantuan "gate".

Goke7:
Ben bruce is a pdp politician, its their game plan to make the APC ruling Govt look bad in the eyes of all Nigerians, you think he take the Nigerian masses that serious? What do you expect from an entertainer turn Politician?

[size=15pt]Can Ben Bruce be man enough and present all his questions to his fellow senators and national assembly for answer?

Is Bruce in the senate to throw his questions at the masses thru twitter or to provide answers to burning national issues through bills and laws?[/size]

@ benmurraybruce

India which imports oil from us, sells
kerosene at Rs 14.96 per liter (₦44). Why is
kerosene cheaper in a nation that imports oil from us


I guess we should be asking them in national assembly, and not the other way round......

Minister of State for Petroleum Resource, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, yesterday warned indigenes of Tarkwa Bay, host to the Atlas Cove Jetty, Nigeria’s biggest petroleum products reception, that the community was at risk of possible acquisition by the Federal Government, if they continued to shield pipeline vandals and oil thieves.

The minister, who issued the warning when he paid an unscheduled visit to the area, said: “We will take over the community if such activities persist,” and also told the community that they were also culpable in the criminal activities going on in the location.

Kachikwu, who expressed concern over the dilapidation of the national asset, noted that the jetty had assumed a prime spot for both local and international bunkering by vandalising the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC’s pipelines bearing refined petroleum products running across the island.

The Minister, who also doubles as the Group Managing Director, GMD, NNPC, took a tour of the community and was taken aback by the level of the illegal activities being perpetuated by vandals for their own personal gains at the expence of majority Nigerians.

During the tour, it was discovered that practically everyone in the community was involved in the illicit trade, as every hut or shanty visited was filled with loads of 50 litre jerry cans, with holes pierced through the pipelines to siphon products meant to be transported to other jetties and depots for onward distribution in the market.

He said: “What I have seen here today is amazing, very frustrating and an eye opener for the problem we are facing. I don’t think Nigerians understand the magnitude of the problems at hand; the more solution you bring in the more problems show up.

“This is a massive operation as you can see, it like a moving train where you can move two to three trucks using jerry cans and transport them through the water to different countries. This is a good discovery but the question is, how many more of this do we have to deal with? It is an eye opener but it’s very frustrating.”

He said the discovery of the hide-outs was made possible by the efforts of the extra security put in place by the government.

Noting that there was no immediate solution at hand, in view of the magnitude of the criminal activities, he however said solutions were a long term.

Ponponkon I know that you are just doing your job by showing the achievements of okezie but please take it easy. Stop this propaganda.

His master T A Orji said the same thing in 2009. Now he is following the same steps. He should just focus on the roads and help the enterprenuers in abia.

NavierStokes:
Don't worry winter would soon be over and the refineries will be open again, with increased demand.

[size=16pt]We yorubas have brains and we use it unlike some bigoted animals from the east.

If anybody called militant tries to blow up oil installation in Lagos or Osogbo, let the military be deployed. Its for the good of the nation as a whole.

Stewpid people want electricity yet they are supporting militant to blow up pipe. Useless tribessss.

Yes Ondo is Yoruba land. We Yorubas support the deployment of soldiers there to protect oil installations.

Militant must no longer hold the whole country in ransom. Never again

carinmom:
I think it is about time the government does something on this issue as it is now getting out of hand.

TheGoodJoe:
The economy felt better because of we sold Crude for over $100 a barrel. If we sold at $27 a barrel, you would have seen how terrible NOI was.

At $68 a barrel, we already borrowed to pay salaries under her and the state governors had to borrow to run the state.

Kyase:
Good.
Remain one governor like that.
