Staff of the Nigeria Petroleum Development Company (NPDC) in Benin City are calling for a reversal of the sale and transfer of operatorship of Oil Mining Licence (OML) 42 from a private company known as Neconde.

The workers, who took a peaceful protest round the company office along Sapele Road in Benin City the Edo State capital, in a statement made available to Channels Television alleged that the process of sale and transfer of the licence was shrouded in secrecy and did not follow due process.

The statement, signed by the Chairman of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN), NPDC branch, also noted that all attempts to get the management to revisit the transfer process proved abortive.

The babe harsh sha.

I believe the report is well researched by intellectuals and so should be credible. We shouldn't ignore it simply because it was commissioned by OBJ.

Amaechi should just keep quiet.

iykbethany:
Hahaha you are right. But what about the silver painted guy? I saw him moving his hands, legs, head etc, i still cant figure what hes standing on?
Is that shovel giving him any kind of support or something

Look at what he is holding. It goes right into his jacket, down his body to his feet.

fabulousdora:
The federal government should try and reduce the no of political party in nigeria just like americans it ll enable them fish out thieves and reduce desperation for power....

How many political parties do they have in America?

bilms:
National Open University of Nigeria. Can your school beat that?

How did you arrive at this conclusion? Did you or any other person carryout a survey of past NOUN graduates? Please stop misleading people if you have no emperical evidence to back your claim.

How NYSC Corp Member Almost Lost His Life To Torture At Camp
He tried explaining to them that he was sick and needed to take his drugs but they did not listen to him, rather he was told to start ‘frog-jumping’.Bunmi quietly explained to them that he might not be able to ‘frog-jump’ because of his health status.

The next thing I saw was that the security operatives (who were obviously Hausas, because they communicated fluently in Hausa language) told asked him if he was Hausa or Yoruba. When he told them he was Yoruba and he hails from Lagos state

Those security guys must be dealt with.
Meanwhile you communicated well in English, therefore based on your conclusion above, you must be English.

According to Barcanista, it is APC's fault for the failure of this PDP government from prosecuting Sanusi. How ridiculous does that sound?

As someone with some level of knowledge on how things work in NNPC, I agree with the former CBN governor that a substantial part of the $18bn was diverted. That explains why the NNPC has been unable to show proof of contracts awarded for pipelines repair. The NNPC can show (or forge)contract award papers but they cannot forge the process (public invitation to bid, the bids and bid evaluation and so on) because it is in the past.

The Op will remove it since u already told him about it..

Are you suggesting Ilorin is not a Northern town? What is it then?

Few weeks ago, Senator-elect and chairman of the Silverbird Group announced that he has never flown first class before.

Last night,Murray-Bruce who has become an over night sensation on Twitter shared a picture to back his claim.

http://.com/discussion/2526/photo-murray-bruce-proves-he-doesn-t-fly-first-class/p1

Does the plane have first class cabin? Most airlines that fly to Nigeria do not have first class but business class.

cramjones:
We all know that it was after he left NTA that he became rich despite his salary as DG being N200,000 per month on average while he ran the institution. He then went to establish the Silverbird group which has been fairly successful. I am not against being rich and successful.

He established Silverbird before his appointment as NTA DG. Please get your facts right.

NewNigeriaMind:
The funny thing is, femi is more qualified than this dogara of a guy.

But as expected the SS and SE Will betray the SW to the north just to spite their brothers in the west.

These people didn't discuss Tinubu in 2011 when he worked for jonathan victory.

I just dey laugh, cause the northern knows the igbos are not smart hence they will use them and dump.

Instead of these people to lobby apc north to vote an igbo speaker or south south speaker, they will rather the north control both house


To what end?

To spite the south west

Please sir, how did you arrive at this conclusion? What is the minimum qualification for becoming a speaker? And how do the two compare based on those criteria?

soe:
[size=18pt]Can Ben Murray Bruce pls explain to Nigerians how he, a retired civil servant on pension, became a multi-millionaire overnight? [/size]

Which government/ government agency did he serve as a civil servant? The only government post I know he held was DG NTA which is a political appointment and not a civil service job. From all I know, he has always been a business man.

Are they trekking?

Sirniyeh:
Foreign Engineers billed for N288billions and promised to execute within a year while Nigeria Engineers to collect N99billions with no specific time-frame

How do you reconcile this with the title?

The guy doesn't seem to know what he's saying. How can he say that there was no voided votes in the North?

gwales:
u said town and u are mentioning state

are you Nigerian? Do you live in Nigeria? If you answered yes to the two questions then I suggest you read more about Nigeria.

The gold painted guy is seating on something. The seat is welded to the base through a rod that runs through his trousers. I was intrigued when I first saw something similar in Trafalgar square until I figured it out. Similar logic used by the guy in the video only that the support is through his arm to the standard. You'd notice that they never move the arm or leg the support passes through.

These people funny sha. How will she achieve that? Do they expect GMB to retain her?

kastonkastrol:
yeah something is kinda fishy somewhere. You can't just be rescuing people that where never declared missing in the first place. Nigerians and the rest of the world only know about the missing chibok girls. I still can't come to terms with the latest people the NA have been rescuing all of a sudden. They say sambisa forest is almost the size of Belgium if is not even bigger, these people been rescued might probably be inhabitants of the sambisa or they might not even be nigerians in the first place..

I don't trust this current government one bit, there are many things they are hiding from nigerians and the world at large. May29 should come fast Jare.

My attention was first drawn to the abduction of girls in the North East around February last year when some girls were abducted. Many didn't hear about it because the girls had no voice to cry out for them. A week later, some girls were abducted again. I was made aware of these abductions through facebook when a friend of my who works with an NGO in the North posted it on her wall, calling for help. A few months later, the Chibok girls were abducted and the circumstances of their abduction was what drew attention to the lingering problem.
I find it hard to comprehend why some people will emphatically say there was no abduction because I happened to find out about previous abductions before the big one.

But I thought they said the report by Saharareporters was not true. PDP is trying hard to self destruct but Nigeria cannot afford that because we need a viable opposition to keep the APC in check.

izzieman:
A Jewish supplier of mine told me a couple of years ago that the Chinese have been shipping containers of sand out of Nigeria for some time.

Sand alright but gold nugget containing soil taken to china to be processed. For anyone to ship sand containers, the gold content of that sand must be astronomical. Now you wonder why there is all the fighting in Plateau state. The elite know what is in the land they send innocent people to go and die for.

So much work for the incoming government.

Really?I thought they proess it in country. My cousin recently told me there is a mining community in Niger State (Near Bida) where local miners are made to mine bags of "sand" (suspected to be gold rich) and the Chinese pay them by the bag. I was furious that not only are the workers underpaid, it is likely that no tax is paid by these people and our environment is being devastated. I wonder when our leaders will have sense.

Ok, but what about business class? Not many airlines have first class but most have business class.

We have a C-in-C who has blamed virtually everybody for the failure of his administration. On the issue of boko haram, why didn't he use all the state security apparatus available to him to stamp them out when all they had was a few riffles and were attacking police stations and stock pilling weapons? If as you suggest some people in the north were responsible for the insurgency because they did not like an "infidel" ruling them, why did he not arrest these people? For failing to arrest them, he deserved to be booted out of office. See lets stop playing the victim, President Jonathan, as good as his personality is, is a failed leader. You mentioned the 9 universities in the North, He promised to establish a Federal university in all the states of the federation that had no Federal University, so how does that translate to favouring the North? (Never mind that he did not fulfill that promise of Building Airports across the country).
On the religious aspect, I tell you a lot of the christians in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa dislike GEJ because he abandoned them both as the President and a Christian and many of them voted against him so stop playing the religious card. I am not saying some people didn't vote along religious lines, there were people who voted for GEJ and GMB based purely on their religion, this is unfortunate.

unclejb2:
If AIT was not barred, what is Dokpesi talking about. Or are u saying that Dokpesi is a mad person. If u claim there was no such thing as AIT barring pls call Raymond Dokpesi to order or simply resign ur AIT appointment in protest to false news.

Even though i believe your questions are directed to the author, if you read it you'd have seen where she referred to the incident as the handiwork of some overzealous aids who were promptly called to order by Mr. Buhari.

This is what Lara wise of AIT had to say about the alleged ban on AIT.

I want to, this morning appeal to all Nigerians, friends on Facebook, pro GMB, pro GEJ, anti GMB, anti GEJ, but lovers of this our beautiful country called Nigeria, to 'take it easy' like we normally say here. Take it easy, people.
I have always said that the social media is a crazy place where irresponsible journalism is the norm. You don't believe me? Just start a rumour on your wall and see how many people will share and even claim they were physically present when your rumour happened.
BUHARI BARS /BARNS AIT...
Thousands of you have shared this message. Let me ask you some questions.
Where was AIT barred from? What was the event? What is the name of the crew that went to cover the assignment? When and where did this happen?
I work in AIT so I'm privy to what some people are not but let me say this: this same AIT sent me to Daura to shoot a documentary on the president-elect. That is professionalism.
This same AIT foot the bill for this expensive project and gave me what I needed for this assignment.
This same AIT is working to see that the documentary meets international and professional standards and is already creating airtime for it.
While in Katsina state, some overzealous aides, friends and sympathisers of the president-elect reacted to my presence in their state. The emirate council? Oh! You guys don't want to know how 'God delivered Daniel from the lion's den', literally. At a point, I had to hide my official car and moved around in an unbranded vehicle for security reasons, okay?
But this same Buhari was informed that "AIT was on their soil" but his informants got the shock of their lives when he told them to allow us do our professional job. He told them to allow us access to whatever and whoever we needed to interview. At his command, we met everybody and spoke to them. In his family house, AIT was offered drinks but AIT turned down food because AIT was working. AIT took pictures with his sister, nephews and nieces.
I have gone ahead to tell these two stories to show that we are fighting over nothing!!!!
Absolutely nothing!!!!
Whatever happened during the build-up to the elections were for that time and period.
Those 'aggrieved' have forgiven and let go.
'Offenders' are doing the right thing now because the era of campaigns and lies are over!
After reading these stories, I do not expect anybody to be aggrieved anymore because the principal players have probably forgotten all about what happened.
We have bigger problems on our hands, people. Bigger problems.
Our Chibok girls are still missing, our refineries, hospitals, rail systems, schools, our pensioners, infant and maternal mortality rates, power, security, etc.
Tell me, is it possible to drive a car on a high speed and be looking back at the same time?
A few seconds on even the rear view mirror is recipe for disaster.
Friends, let's keep our gaze on our mission.
Nigeria is bigger than any one of us.
God bless our dear country!

Maxwell Chinedu Godwin. How much did APC pay me? Wao! You see, young man, you are one of those so called pastors who are our problems not only in the body of Christ, but in Nigeria. This post of mine should have come from people like you who should know better that it's time to build the broken walls of our country, that it's time to heal and move on. But false prophets like you who have desecrated the altar of the most High and whose mouths are bigger than their spiritual eyes got us to where we are today. How much did the devil pay you to do his bidding, Maxwell? How much? You haters of truth and righteousness. Listen, I stand alone and represent no one. Whatever I do or say or write is from my personal convictions as a Christian and as someone whose wealth is drawn from the currencies of truth, righteousness and justice. Some of us cannot be bought with money. Do you understand? Your comment, unfortunately, is just a reflection of who you truly are, for the Holy book says "to him that is pure, all things are pure". ‪#‎Next‬ time, sanctify your eyes, mind, and fingers before spilling bile on my wall. Good morning!

At its plenary presided over by the Speaker, Ahmadu Fintiri, the House also recommended a national honour for Umar for querying the purchase and other executive excesses that cost his sack.

If he is recommended for national honour, what will they recommend Sanusi for now?

PreSident Shehu Shagari

“The army after toppling our democratic regime have no option but to install Buhari as head of state so as to avoid credibility problem especially in the sight of international community because of his being an epitome of integrity.“

President Goodluck Jonathan

“Gen. Muhammadu Buhari was a true patriot, respected former head of state & elder statesman & a nationalist.“

President Olusegun Obasanjo

“There are only 2 honest & reliable Nigerians. Myself & Buhari. All what PDP is saying of Buhari being fundamentalist is mere hot lies. They just fear let‘s go to jail “

"Muhammadu Buhari as a member of the Supreme Military Council and as Head of NNPC was by nature taciturn and introvert. But he took any work that was given to him very seriously. He is reliable as he is hardworking and honest, his path of moral probity and rectitude” Incorruptible

President Musa Yaradua

“Buhari was a big brother & a father to some extent that mean nothing in life & to the nation always other than good. So, I fear no harm from him.“

General Abdusalam Abubakar

“Buhari was honest & sincere in all his conduct that perhaps, only very few Nigerians could match in integrity.“

General Sani Abacha
