Beaf: ^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. |
DaLover: Still wondering y some people want Okonji out of the wayThe 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.[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. http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/news/national/2012/apr/20/national-20-04-2011-001.html |
[quote author=Kilode?!]So I'm now a hired ACN and oil-cabal supporter on NL ? My stock must be rising ![]() The other day someone accused me of giving excuses for NOI, now I do personal attacks on NOI. I didn't even think I've ever engaged this Naijaking character on NL before. Can you provide proof of my bias ?[/quote]Believe me, those foools are miserable. |
Beaf: @demdemIts obvious u cant read because if truly u can u will know nothing is directed at u (except ur conscience is "pinching u" LIAR. |
Beaf: You wretched lot in the association of cabal representatives on NL will continue to fly around like the frustrated winshes you are. Demdem: still foools will continue to allege without substantiating. High level cretins.Next.

Beaf: Crap. Demdem: still foools will continue to allege without substantiating. High level cretins.Next. |
afam4eva: I guess but this statement, you're implying that apart from these two, the other ministers are doing really well and Jonathan too, he's the best president we've ever had.Of cos not. however the president can start with these two to send a message to his cabinet. We cant all just sit down and declare that its a general problem and do nothing. That is wrong. |
still foools will continue to allege without substantiating. High level cretins. |
afam4eva: What has Ngozi Okonjo Iweala done that people are calling for her head. I've noticed that Nigerians like looking for scape goats even when the culprit is staring them in the face. Buncha cowards.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. It shows they are simply imcompetent for the office they are occupying. I dont care who replaces them, be it from Igboland or naijadelta as long as these are competent fellows. |
naijaking1: No, no, no I don't work for GEJ, and neither am I without my own complaints about his government. 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.[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. If u cant, u should be ashamed of ursef iidiot and accept the fact that u are indeed very daft atimes i wonder how some peeps think? why is it that if anyone doesnt share their opinion about issues then such definately have a hidden agenda or a bigot of such. must we all reason the same way? why should my opinion be a distraction for these ladies from doing a thorough job? I have nothing personal against any govt official including these incompetent foools, their sacking wont even add any penny to my fortune however that wont stop me from crying foul if i see one. i have seen one, likewise NLers and am voicing out and u are talking thrash Sophisticated my foot[/b] |
Beaf: Not everybody is interested in ethnic/racist jousts like you. It is primitive and despicable, but you are only revealing the deplorable state of your mind.Foool |
Cry cry baby. What a coward. |
@kooto, it still boils down to the fact that they are incompetent managers. Before selling all those lies to nigerians, they ought to have done their homework well. This they failed in miserably. |
NEROSKY: na dem demhow dare u ![]() ![]() And to think that those men are family men that have wives and kids. i wonder what they are teaching them? |
^^^^^^^ very Sane Post. |
Ethnic warriors, this thread isnt ur playground. Abegiii, carry ur madness elsewhere, biko. |
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.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. |
@ Poster, u may have a good point here. is it not the same EFCC that have not been able to prove the guilt of the haliburton criminals here in Nigeria whereas their fellow accomplices have been punished in the US? what about the shoddy job those EFCC SANs did on Akingbola's case? The list is endless. |
Kobojunkie: Was that the source of funds the President's election campaign back early in 2011? Cause that question still remains.from the report above, Saraki has obviously revealed where those funds came from. |
Commander12: This is not about haters, it is about misinformation. Although she resumed in September but her role in the subsidy removal was so high. [img]http://www.seseo.info/abs[/img]Exactly |
manny4life: Like there's been sanity in that downstream sector in past administrations?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. http://dailytrust.com.ng/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=145315:senate-fg-overspends-subsidy-fund-by-n1tr&catid=2:lead-stories&Itemid=8 |

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. http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/news/national/2012/apr/20/national-20-04-2011-016.html |

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% 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 GOVT ??[/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. for further reading, go to site: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/04/looters-tried-to-kill-our-report-committee/ |
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. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/04/yoruba-re-endangered-species-in-the-north-hid-awolowo/ Not only are Igbos killed in the north but also Yorubas and even the northerners themselves. |
