Wa sere padi mi........trust me, many times I have liked your in the past. I know you are one of the few intellectuals here but our political ideologies differ, I am glad we found a common ground EdCure.

Happy Sunday, bro.
God continue to bless you!

It would be the greatest disservice to Nigeria if Buhari fails to probe Jonathan.

stexsy:
What do you expect from a Tinubu Boy? Is Jonathan that is corrupt while Tinubu is a saint

What has Tinubu got to do with this?
Do you and your patrons dread the Jagaban to this mortal extent?

Truth is, Jonathan and his cronies are only being hunted by their acts of unspeakable evil against the nation.
Nothing else and no one else is at the heels of the hunted witches apart from justice.

Sincere9gerian:
The truth is that for the most part of the last regime, we had fuel not just available but also sold at govt approved price. In fact, at a point, we bought fuel here in Enugu for #1 less than govt approved price.

The acute scarcity you talked about, during Which fuel sold for as much as #200, didn't last for more than 2 weeks and it was due to strike by oil workers.

The current scarcity is the longest we've had in a long while and nobody is saying anything about it.

Even if it lasted for just 3days, it was a real crisis which we all experienced like never before. Banks, (tele)communications, transportation, security patrol and other key sectors of the society were all grounded by the single act of these greedy thieves who care less about national security than their own economic benefits.
Its on record the the cost of fuel rose to N700 and above (per litre) in some places...that is even if you find a drop of it to buy.

Any responsible govt will take drastic/ambitious steps to forestall such recurrence. And I believe that's the rationale behind this proposed (new) policy. It deserve commendation.

baralatie:
so during Gej administration from 2010 -2014 how often did you experience scarcity.

My points in reference to the Jonathan presidency is that, the issue of fuel subsidy and the acts of economic sabotage by fuel importers was very prominent (to crisis levels) throughout his administration.

BTW, I have many hobbies, but counting the days of scarcity is not one of them.

Sincere9gerian:
How much have you been buying your fuel? Since May 29, we've not been able to buy fuel at govt approved #87 in the whole of the south east. Prices fluctuates between #105 and 110. Even NNPC Mega stations now hardly ever have fuel. It seems we're back to the dark era (obj and yar adua era) when govt subsidized fuel for only Lagos and Abuja, while the rest of Nigeria should go and die.

In the last regime, we bought fuel at govt approved prices for the most part, except during general fuel scarcity. Using public fund to subsidize fuel for only Lagos and Abuja, and maybe a few other cities, cannot be said to be fair. It's either the subsidy goes round, as much as possible or they scrap it entirely. And it is possible to go round because it went round in the last regime, just that govt will have to pay more for fuel subsidy because more volumes will obviously be needed. And it is virtually impossible for NNPC alone to supply the the volumes needed to stabilize supply across the nation

Agreed, sometimes I buy fuel for 110Nara as well as the official price of 87. The price fluctuations is not so much a result of scarcity as it is a regulatory and monitoring challenges on the part of the FG (which is yet to stabilise its operations), and the fraudulent acts of the oil cabals and marketers.

You will agree with me that we have not faced any product scarcity since the crisis level that Jonathan plunged the nation into in the twilight of his administration.

And yes, the NNPC alone can handle the business of fuel importation for Nigeria. What is needed is proper management, patriotism and efficient leadership coupled with functional refineries which I believe will perform at optimal levels in a matter of weeks.

One of the cardinal lessons that is learnt from GEJ's misrule is the fact that the business of fuel importation is a national security issue which Nigeria cannot afford to leave in the hands of unscrupulous businessmen and racketeers.

Kingspin:
Today have seen more terror scientists and killings. Islam remain relevant become of killing killing. If i have the money is free education to the North up to universities level even the president is not exempted. More education less religious brainwash. Up peaceful Nigeria.

Exactly!
Killing is the only thing that's giving relevance to Islam.
Islam will fizzled out if they stop killing those who chose to convert to other religion. Islam is keeping its population through coercions and terror. Most moslems are fed up with Islam but are afraid to leave.

tomakint:
@ BishopMagic, you have once again justified your uniqueness on this forum........the Good God of Heaven will surely remember your labour of love and truthfulness. Keep it up.
Sidenote: The Dark Ages (which span from 4th Century - 7th Century) where Christianity nearly went into oblivion gave rise to Islam and they (Muslims) went around 'changing' already established records achieved by the Greeks, Jews, Romans and even Christians. Islam is a counterfeit of Judaism and Christianity -FACT!

First time I'm liking your post.

Good policy.
It will end the activities of the cabal and stop oil racketeering.

Much more than the budget of some states.

seankay:
So there were only 4 Soldiers in a Military base. There's nothing that can't happen in this country of ours

Didn't you read the part where it was said that some were lucky to escape?

FTC

This report is plausible.
The stolen funds will be recovered and the thieves will be jailed.

zuchyblink:
KOgi people are well known oil well thieves

Kogi people don't go to nairaland or radio stations to boast and issue threats. They go straight to the field where their hands speak for them.

Stanley Orobator is a well respected professor of history In Uniben.
Ibos commit the worst crimes in the society, yet they wail and cry of witch-hunt more than any ethnic group.

fkaz:
Since former president goodluck jonathan failed to release NBC report, President Buhari should direct the chairman of NBC to release their report or finding on the true owner of the disputed area, to avoid further lost of innocent lives.

Jonathan refused to release the NBC report because he didn't want to disappoint those who were the "backbone" of his administration. He supported criminality of all forms.
It is very obvious who owns the land.

CreampieAngela:
The disputed territory where the Oil wells are situated belong to the Igala people of Ibaji in Kogi state

This is another issue of land grabbing.

Saraki needs to end his standoff with the APC mandate. He is too recalcitrant.

Congratulations...and keep up the good work!

tomakint:
I am loving this......this new GMD is walking the talk.

You are wailing secretly. Admit it!

way to go!

Sack must be preceded by probe
Probe must be followed up by prosecutions (if found culpable)
And prosecution must be perfected with lengthy imprisonment and hefty fines (when found guilty).

I like Baba's slow motion. It follows the right stages and due process.

Wailers can hurry to sambisa forest or Ekwulobia prison

onomeasike:
As former General Managers, these are part of the establishment. I just hope they will function creditably

My thoughts exactly!
But I think their wealth of experience is required here. I have no doubt that they will sit up and key into the agenda of the new sheriff in town.

They should get to work and fix the rot in the organisation and the oil sector at large.

INTROVERT:
Hey Mr. Former president.
Isn't he rich enough to own a private jet abi which kain question the OP dey ask.

Rich from doing what, looting?

BermudaTriangle:
Oh @EdCure, i doff my hat for you. For weeks, i have sought for the right words to put this @chukwudi44 in his rightful place but couldn't. But you just used just about the most appropriate words to do that.
@chukwudi44 has a primitive, archaic and irritating way of reasoning. Period. He is one of those who believes that crime is good if it benefits them but justice is trash if it doesn't serve their purpose.

Thanks, man.
I just got fed-up with how that plonker litter nairaland with his trademark idiocy.

Milliprime:
These targets
Make i seal mouth before i commit

Typical PDP apologist. Always allergic to high expectations.

This government means work...I mean, real business!

Make those elders go sitdown!

Though our military men are known to be overzealous and overbearing in most of their dealings with civilians, I do not suggest that any war crimes charges be brought agaisnt them for the battle against terrorists.
Rather, Jonathan and his men have a date with EFCC to answer for their crimes of unparalleled looting and corruption.

nigerianvenom:
@bold how?

Dey dia dey ask how
Amaechi gave your oga a bloody nose, rendered him politically handicap, and ended his looting career!

basilo101:
hahaha, why do yoruba claim patriotic wen only wen it suit dia evil intentions. Wen will they call 4 Amaechi's probe, they are evn hailing, any day he stops being loyal nw dey will start fighting him claiming its for beta nigeria. Why cnt they do dat nw? Saraki was a saint until he disobeyed yoruba god (TInubu), and cost SW speakership position, afta unsucessfully trying to claim dat saraki is yoruba ur ppl started dis show of shame. Dis is how u shamelessly came up wit an ambigous concept of 'party interest' to further ur mypic ethnic agenda

Ranting ethnic bigot, I Am Not Yoruba.

Now, take back your incongruent prose, shove it down your greasy nose and get smothered with regrets.
