Beaf: ^
If not for the stringent campaigns against the subsidy by both good women, would you be any wiser about the levels of corruption in the petroleum sector. You and those who pay you are simply trying to remove the obstacles to your stealing spree.


Only a fool believes that our local refineries can meet 100% of our fuel needs.
Try harder, vulture.

Thieves.
Iidiot, i dont have to. as usual u know more than the investigators. By the way, most are ur fellow PDP cohorts and not ACN (ur nemesis)
What useless campign are u talking about? did they take time to understand fully the rot going on under them before bringing forth hurtful policies? its obvious to all now even with the partial removal of subsidy that their primary aim is simply to secure more money to spend and not worried about the current leakages.

Obviously these set of people are from the dark side
The UAD therefore called for the prosecution of all the individuals and corporate bodies found to have been the beneficiaries of the supposed ‘subsidy’. “Further, we call we call for the immediate resignation or sacking of Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Minister of Finance, Diezani Allison-Madueke, Minister of Petroleum, and Labaran Maku, the Minister of Information for their demonstrated culpability by acts of omission or commission in the fuel subsidy, the anti people hike in the price of petrol and the conscious promotion of lies to cover up the truth,” the group said.


“ It exposes the fact that the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Allison Madueke has been presiding over sleaze and she has no option now but to take the path of honour," he declared.

Beaf: Abeg, go and tell your masters in the coven that your winsh attack was a failure.
A couple of brave and upright women stand up and say, "stop the entire subsidy thing, because the levels of corruption involved in it are mind bending." Then your vulture oga's pay you to go on NL and the press to say the two women should be removed.

It is obvious that you winshes are desperately trying to clear obstacles so you can continue looting. Your ogs's might have bribed the reps to release only 69 poverty stricken names, but your day in jail is still coming, bro.

Vultures.
[b]He disclosed that his committee was able to put a lie to the claims of government officials [/b]that local refineries cannot refine enough petrol to meet local demand. The committee, observed Lawan, established that if local refineries were able to refine 235,000 barrels of the 445,000 barrels they are alloted daily, they would still be able to refine 40 million litres of petrol and 10 million litres of kerosine, which, he said, exceeded daily local demand.

Why the intense concentration on the ministries of petroleum and finance? Lol!

Ngozi's offence (Likewise madueke) is to continue to allow high level corruption to continue under them and selling Lies to Nigerians as suggested by the house report.

However, I'm more sophisticated than your average Joe who would jump unto the bandwagon of let's get them, let's kill them, and let's sack them. The last time we heard this type of song was in 2009 when Sanusi"uncovered" massive fraud in the banks. He replaced the bank CEOs with 'angels' some of whom are not only facing worse accussations of fraud than the previous managers, but also even murder allegations.
When the fox steals a chicken, it helps him to divert attention, make noise, and chase and hunt the sheep for the same crime, as a tactic for covering up his own crime.
If you have been following N/L very closely, you would know that any article posted by DEMDEM, KILODE, or BITTYEND, or any of those hired or biased acn vs oil cabal supporters would eventually prove to be baseless. This group has elevated the art of deception, personal attacks, and innuendos on the person of Ms Madueke and Okonjo into an art form. When they're not describing her expensive underwear, they'll be focused on her handbag, or her step son, or her house in Vienna that doesn't exist. Don't take my word for it, look at their profile. They have an ulterior motive to destroy these women with lies and falsehood, so that somehow the ladies would be distracted from cleaning up the oil sector that has rotten for the past 40 years.
[b]Mmoron, if truly and indeed u are the son of ur father and not an hopeless bastard kindly substantiate those miserable allegation of urs by revealing any article i posted that is baseless (either on this thread or prevous threads), also reveal from any post of mine that suggest i am ACN and other allegations levelled against me.

naijaking1: Okonjo and Allison don't have to commit any offence at all for the paid agents of threatened oil merchants to pounce on them. The House committee led by Lawan is simply doing its constitutional duty: to investigate.
Has it completed it investigation, taken all evidence, listened to all witness, and presented it's finding to the whole house for a vote? Has the senate reconcilled its findings with the house? Has the house referred its finding to any investigative agency for police action. The answer to these questions remain, no , no, and NO.
Yet @poster wants a quick punishment before investigations are completed, sack them all he says.
we know there's an entrenched culture of corruption in the oil market since the 1970s, any attempt to remove even an iotha of this corruption is going to be resisted by the wealthy and mighty oil cabal.
If you watch recent postings by people who are bent on tarnishing Okonjo and Madueke's images, you won't be surprised that the same agents are here calling for their sack based on incomplete house findings or a so-called organised civil society request.
For ur info since u have refused to read, these are the demands of the Civil societies which i support and not my initiatives at all. The committe has completed its investigation and and has prepared their report. There is no minority report.
Secondly, do u mean the house report (after investigation) should be forwarded to the security agents controlled by this same govt that has been indicted for further investigation? nahhhh, i dont think a thorough job can be done by them. The Cabals which this govt and our security agents are afraid of have been exposed. Let the House reconcile its report with that of the senate which i know will also be damning and let actio be taken based on the consolidated report.

Yeah he made a wrongful comments about Yoruba's, I admit, but don't blame this one on "American degree holders", a nation which is corrupt, will always breed corrupt individuals.
Of cos not but no one can argue that it became much more worse under this administration



The Senate yesterday asked its committees to investigate how the Federal Government overspent the budgeted funds on fuel subsidy by up to N1.1 trillion since the beginning of the year.
About N240 billion was provided for the subsidies in the 2011 budget, but so far government agencies responsible for running the scheme have spent up to N1.3 trillion this year, the Senate heard through a motion moved by Senator Bukola Saraki yesterday.

The Federal Government has planned to stop the subsidies starting January, but this is facing criticism from labour unions, opposition politicians, lawmakers and many prominent people.

Ending the scheme would inevitably send petrol prices shooting up to about N150 per litre from N65 per litre.

In the motion co-sponsored by 13 other senators yesterday, Saraki said instead of spending N20 billion each month on fuel subsidy as budgeted, government spent up to N165 billion in one month alone in breach of the budget law.

Saraki said government has so far spent about N1.3 trillion on fuel subsidy this year, translating to 700 per cent above the budgeted sum.

He said reports by some prominent foreign economic journals and the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) has revealed how volume of fuel imported into Nigeria is inflated fivefold and then smuggled out and sold at higher prices in neighboring countries after collection of large sums of money as subsidies from the government.

“Fuel subsidy as it is being managed today has become a risk to the entire economy. The implementation of the 2011 Appropriation Act will surely be in trouble waters if a variation of N1.2 trillion arises as a result of the level of expenditure incurred on fuel subsidy so far.

“Although N20 billion was set aside for subsidy on a monthly basis in the Appropriation Act 2011, in August 2011 the total figure expended was N165 billion of which the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) was N88 billion and the Independent Marketers was N77.7 billion.

“In the first three months (Jan – March. Before elections in APRIL) of the year both NNPC and the Independent Marketers did not exceed N62 billion monthly but within the last three months (Ngozi was already on seat by then) figures have ranged between N150 billion and N186 billion,” Saraki said.

Speaking on the motion, Senate President David Mark said the scheme has been hijacked by a cartel operating like Mafia. “Whatever they do is completely exclusive to them. They are very few and 95 per cent of us don’t know what is happening. It is important to investigate the subsidy to know whether or not it has achieved the aim it is set out to achieve,” he said.

Saraki said illegal expenditure on fuel subsidy diminished the power of the National Assembly as the organ of government responsible for appropriation of all public funds.

Politics › Re: Benin Monarch Refuses To Endorse Pdp Candidate by Demdem(m): 11:25am On Apr 20, 2012
Oba of Benin endorses Oshiomhole for second term[color=#000099][/color]

The Benin Monarch, Oba Erediauwa, yesterday endorsed Adams Oshiomhole for a second term in office ahead of the July 14 governorship election. Oba’s endorsement came when the governor led leaders of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) to the Palace to seek his blessings and support. According to the Oba who spoke through his top chiefs “One good term deserves another.”

The Oba in a prayer said through Chief Sam Igbe, the Iyase of Benin Kingdom told Oshiomhole to start celebrating.
“We will not reward good with evil. God will give you strength. The only way to thank you for what you have done is through our votes. Whoever wants to contest this election should come and say what he has done.”

Also praying on behalf of the Benin Monarch, Chief David Edebiri, the Esogban of Benin Kingdom, said he refused to be at the palace when the PDP candidate, Major General Charles Airhiavbere visited the palace because he did not want to pray for him.
Describing Oshiomhole as “Benin Candidate,” Chief Edebiri said it did not matter whether they were accused of being partisan.


“What is it about that we are involved in politics? The Oba of Benin is the embodiment of politics. We want to appreciate Oshiomhole by voting for him. I pronounce him our candidate. The oracle has spoken. Anybody who wants to go against the decision of the oracle should wait for the battle,” the Esogban said.

In his remark, the Oba said: “My chiefs have spoken through prayers. We are waiting to see what happens. Goodluck to you.”
Oshiomhole had earlier told the Oba that the World Bank has approved $100m grant for the Benin Storm Water project, adding that the World Bank representatives were happy with the level of work done.

“We will discreetly restructure Benin City so that during your reign, you will see a beautiful city. With your support, I will take Edo State to the next level” “We believe we will do better in our second term because we have a House of Assembly that is supportive. Even the international community has recognised out efforts,” he said.

Politics › Oil Thieves Are PDP Financiers - PDP, Report Must DIE. by Demdem(op): 10:49am On Apr 20, 2012
ABUJA—Chairman of the House ad-hoc committee on the utilization of subsidy, Rep. Farouk Lawan at a press conference, yesterday, admitted serious pressure from government, marketers and other quarters on his committee for a favourable consideration during its investigation. [/b]Lawan at the briefing further asserted [b]that there would be no need for fuel importation in a regime of transparency in the petroleum sector.

This came as apprehension mounted in the presidency and the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP yesterday over the contents of the House of Representatives report on investigation of the utilization of the subsidy in the prices of petroleum products.

The apprehension based on the indictment of some major contributors to the party’s campaign coffers of 2011 heightened as the PDP summoned a meeting with the members of the House for April 30.

The party, however, dismissed the alleged anxiety saying that it welcomed the probe even as it admitted that only 12.75% cry cry cry of those indicted by the House report were contributors to the party’s campaign purse.


The apprehension nonetheless, criticism of the administration from opposition groups, lawyers, organised labour and civil society overflowed yesterday with calls on the administration to ensure full implementation of the report.

Tukur summons PDP House caucus meeting

The perceived apprehension in the PDP came as the national chairman of the ruling party, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur yesterday requested a meeting with the PDP House caucus on April 30. More than N1 trillion was recommended by the House committee to be refunded to government treasury on account of the alleged fraud by government agencies and marketers involved in the subsidy scam.

Briefing House correspondents after yesterday’s sitting, the Chairman of the House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Rep. Zakari Mohammed said, the recommendations of the Ad-hoc committee would be fully implemented to the letter.

Flanked by Lawan, Mohammed said, “we do not prosecute but we will ensure that the executive arm of government implements its recommendations to the letter. We will use all our legislative powers to ensure that after adoption, the report sees the light of the day.”

Asked how the legislative arm can achieve this, Mohammed said, “we are ingenuous, the executive arm will come to us also for certain things and we can use this report as a pre-condition and tell them that let this be done or we won’t do certain things that you are requesting us to do.”

Speaking at the briefing, Lawan admitted that the committee came under tremendous pressure from Government and oil marketers in the course of preparing the fuel subsidy report. WHY FROM GOVThuh??[/color]

Lawan said the pressure was enormous but we considered Nigeria first “because if we free the resources in the sector of its ills it would go a long way to benefit all Nigerians rather than a few of us.”

He said: “what we did was to look at 2009 till 2011 when the fuel subsidy started skyrocketing into billions because as at 2008 the fuel subsidy was just a little above N200billion and the companies involved then were only 20.

“So we dug from 2009 where there was a proliferation of companies as we needed to limit ourselves because of time to ensure we do a very good work. There were so many pressures from government officials and marketers who wanted to reach us through some of our colleagues. If we have compromised we wouldn’t have had the courage to ask them the questions we asked them.”

He, however, dismissed the initial media reports that the committee doctored the report before it was laid before the House. “The report has revealed a lot of things, and we extended the scope of our investigation”, Lawan said, stressing that “we are asking Mr President to reorganise the Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources”, considering the spate of corruption revealed during the probe.

The committee also asked the Presidency to dissolve the Board of NNPC and PPPRA in the bid to sanitize the sector.

He maintained that there is “no need for importation of petroleum products for local consumption, if NNPC can effectively manage the local production stressing that government was losing too much money granting licence for importation of petroleum products.”[color=#000099]


The legislator who doubles as chairman, explained that the escalation of money spent on fuel subsidy manifested when the committee resolved to extend the scope of the investigation to 2009. He added that the committee discovered proliferation of companies that participated in the subsidy rose during the period under review.

Politics › Yoruba ‘re Endangered Species In The North – HID Awolowo by Demdem(op): 10:44am On Apr 20, 2012
ABEOKUTA—The matriarch of the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo dynasty, Mama H. I. D. Awolowo, has described Yoruba sons and daughters living in the North as endangered species.

Speaking, in Yoruba, yesterday, at the general meeting of Yoruba Unity Forum, YUF, an umbrella body of all Yoruba socio-cultural organisations, at Ikenne, Ogun State, Awolowo’s widow, who is the Chairman of the forum, lamented the killings of non-natives in the northern part of the country.

She canvassed urgent measures to ensure peaceful co-existence of Nigerians anywhere in the country and reiterated the need for the Yoruba to remain “united” and speak with one “voice,” on issues that affect them.

She maintained that the continued relevance of the race in the Nigerian project rested on the unity of its sons and daughters.

Former vice-chancellor, University of Ibadan, Professor Kayode Oyediran, who spoke on the need to embrace traditional values among the Yoruba, attributed what he described as decay in social values in the country to loss of traditional values which encapsulated in the concept of ‘’Omoluabi.”

At the meeting were vice-chairman of the forum, Bishop Bolanle Gbonigi, Senator Anthony Adefuye, Chief Ebenezer Babatope, Senator Femi Okunrounmu, former deputy governor of Lagos State, Mrs. Kofoworola Akerele-Bucknor, Chief Olu Falae and Dr. Tokunbo Awolowo-Dosunmu, among others.

In a statement, YUF urged President Goodluck Jonathan to address corruption and graft in the oil and gas sector and to also accord Yoruba sons and daughters key positions in Federal Government’s institutions or establishments as other people from other regions.

A 50-member committee comprising Yoruba sons and daughters across the Southwest, with Bishop Gbonigi as chairman, was inaugurated as the intellectual engine of the forum.

Not only are Igbos killed in the north but also Yorubas and even the northerners themselves.
