Tompolo tackles security of Nigerian waters
On September 4, 2012 · In Sweet Crude 12:57 am 8Tweet

By Godwin ORITSE

THE recent maritime security contract awarded to Chief Government Ekpemupolo, aka Tompolo did not only raised dust amongst politicians and players in the maritime industry, it has also received international condemnation.

The highly respected Wall street Journal about two weeks ago castigated the Nigerian government for patronizing bandits and turning them into billionaires.

The contract which was not thrown up for bidding was facilitated for approval by the management of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety agency (NIMASA) headed by Mr. Patrick Akpobolokemi.

The contract is a form of agreement between the Federal Government and Global West Vessels Specialist Limited which indicates that the security of the nation’s coastal waters by the agreement was concessioned to the firm.

The contract, Akpobolokemi explained that firm will only be paid if and when NIMASA as an entity makes profit due to the company’s intervention in reducing or eliminating the issue of oil theft and piracy on the nation’s coastal waters.

This arrangement does not include the N49.7million paid to Global West Vessels on a monthly for monitoring the waters in Lagos.

The proposal to monitor Lagos waters has been in NIMASA for more than four years as the two previous directors general did not see the need for it.

The promoters of the Lagos angle of the deal proposed that it can offer to monitor the Lagos waters for free, but that N50million be paid to the firm for the fueling of the four or five rickety and smoky boats and pay the boys that will be responsible for the boats which the firm said it donated to NIMASA.

This was about the very first deal that Akpobolokemi approved for Tompolo when he assumed office in December 2011.

As at the time of this report, the said amount of money is still being paid to Global West vessels on a monthly basis.

The claim that the issue of oil theft has reduced by 70% by Akpobolokemi has been debunked by operators and marine security experts who wondered how the NIMASA boss arrived at that figure.

Reacting to the claim of reducing oil theft by 70%, President of Master Mariners Association of Nigeria (MMAN) Captain Jimi Adu, challenged the NIMASA management to substantiate their claims with data and proof adding that the international Oil Companies (OICs) have been sustaining loses for some time.

Adu, who debunked Akpobolokemi’s claims adding that some of the major oil firms operating in the Niger Delta area have been sustaining losses for some time. “May be the attack on vessels and platforms have reduced but that is not to say that we have gotten to where we are going.”

According Captain Solomon Prebo, a Warri based marine pilot said that he can speak of the situation in Delta state adding that the issue of oil theft reduced.

He also stated that the issue of theft in the Niger Delta area is a serious cartel noting that in Bayelsa state oil theft is very much on but in collaboration with some members of the Joint Task Force (JTF)who are heavily in the unwholesome practice.

Mr. Zeb Ikokide, vice Chairman of the Port Facility Security Officers Forum said that s aid that the claim by the NIMASA’s Director General is a far cry from what is obtainable on the coastal waters. “They can say these things because they are the beneficiaries of the contract.

Ikokide explained that port security personnel working in and around the maritime industry including oil rigs and other platforms are in better position to say the true position of the situation with regards to the issue of oil theft.

Mr. Globe:
you should not inflict on this forum your inability to read and write. The case of giving law enforcement duties to private citizens as stated by Alhaji Lie Muhammad was clearly refuted by Abatti and made bold for dumbasses like you to see clearly. The claim is as false as Tinubu having a university of Toronto degree

AsholeROck rat. Was any contract awarded to OPC or not? Yes or No.

Was maritime security contract awarded to Tompolo or not. Yes or No.


Btw, awati is a known lair with zero credibility so keep quiet. Who takes that clown seriously anyways?

Is there any justification for giving law enforcement duties to private citizens? It's all about staging and promoting violence.

Only in the Incompetent and corrupt world of abati and Jonathan.

Let them ignite the fire, we'll kill it for them..

seanet01: Stop portraying yourself like a bingo. They did not obtained this papers from the government planning office. If they actually did do you think the government is so dumb like you to infringe on their property when it was it that gave them the papers. They used oluwole papers.
They have the right to go to court if they felt short changed.
Use your brain.

That old clown's brains is somewhere deep inside his ass. What a re.tard.

redsun: You are synonymous with bacteria and viruses as a result of your piggy nature.The environment you thrive in will be too toxic for me.

Now you've reduced your old azzz to rambling level. How sad and pathetic can you be?

Let me know when you slit your wrist and do humanity a huge favor.

Useless clown....

redsun: I will rather stay in prison than to live in environment you call home,city for that matter.

Caveman.

Unfortunately for your dumb asss, prison is where lawless jungle monkey like you belong.

Good riddance. Worthless old man.

redsun: If that be the case,does that give a democratically selected government the audacity to subject children and the elderly that she is main to protect to unbearable and unimaginable horrors at a time of relative peace in the country?Knobhead.

I thought they said fashola is a lawyer?

What do you know about law you dumb ass ? The governors job is to protect and enforce the laws of the state and the land belongs to the government, not illegal occupants.

After giving official warnings to vacate public land and you are still occupying the land illegally by the final date of the warning, you are on your own, you have yourself to blame.

Ignorant illiterates shouldn't be talking about any kind of law so STFU...

redsun: You are a primitive sycophant that thrive o the blood of the innocent and your joy last as long as there is chaos.

In a sane world,your type will disappear.

Oloshi, you can repeat the same nonsense a million times if you like, it still doesn't alter the fact that we are determined to clean up and reverse the rot and disorderlines in our society unlike the lawless jungle village you call home.

When was the last time you worried about your backward stone age village ?

Fuckkkk you and everything you stand for.

redsun: Look at this cave man.What is orderly in killing old women and unborn babies in the womb as a result of your terrors?

Scumbag subcreature.

Your usual reta.rded rubbish or some alleged death doesn't alter the fact that ours remains about a sane and orderly society while yours remains stale and backward.

You are of course free to kill yourself if this basic understanding is above your meager Dumbo IQ old man...

koruji: Look at it this way.
GEJ has been goofing by setting up ex-militants to patrol our coastal waters.
Tompolo is now a multi-billionaire based on those contracts.
What do you think GEJ would do, after havin been openly called out?
He is not strong enough to do what is right by withdrawing those ND contracts.
Instead the man is "balancing" by sending money to the other regional groups - N2.4 billion for OPC.
Find the story that said $100 million (about N1.6 billion) was allocated for oil exploration in the north - there is no oil exploration, it is another payoff to another group.
GEJ is committing so many atrocities these days, and that is why 2015 is a do-or-die for him.

He's not balancing anything, he's indirectly dishing out election mobilization money with official cover. It's the same dangerous and corrupt game.

This is another moving part of the sad prediction for the final disintegration of Nigeria in 2015. It's going to be a perfect storm.

redsun: Fashola government is sounding more of a junta government,day in day out.There shouldn't be any reason for a democratic governnmet to treat her citizens like that,especially when children and the elderly are involved.There must be something in place to relieve their suffering before such action is undertaking.

Same broken record garbage from the cassava bread dullard.

Sane and orderly society is ours while disorderlinss and chaos is yours.

Bobandgreat: [color=#000099][/color]

Typical Tinubu(cunning and dubious) and Buhari (Boko Haramish) way of tackling issues. Rough but at the same time subtle to curry favour. An embodiment of what their union would be irrespective of the name they finally adopt. Educated touts. Lagos Agbero combines with Islamic sect leader.

Why is this clown bothering me with his pathetic life history? I though I told you to fuckkkk off? You don't know how to read and comprehend ni.

Dumbo cassava bread dullard..

redsun: Gang of robbers,dissing each other.What good can come out of rogue bandits,called nigerian politicians?

All they do is steal and wreck the people.They ruthlessly fight each other just to gain the positions to loot,not to serve.

Tinubu is a criminal,obj is a criminal,tukur is a criminal,yet nigerians sheepishly follows and listens to them,instead rooting them out as immortal enemies that they are in reality.

Ignorance is cancerous.

Listen to this old man with no common sense. And if we ask your foolish self to tell us what the man did that made him a criminal, you go run comot or begin dance azonto all over the place like a foolish monkey...

Cassava bread dullard. Please STFU....

Bobandgreat: [color=#000099][/color]

Anytime I see ur posts eko ile, I become ashamed for u and what u will write and u have never dissapointed me.

Many of you worthless and irrelevant clowns overestimate your importance too much. Please fvukkk off with your dumb disappointment. Who dash you?

dougivilla: Even spiritual measures have failedl? Your case is Hopelessly hopeless then! But still Keep praying (i hope u're able to comprehend that) theres nothing God cannot do, u hear?

How many times are you going to repeat the same garbage when all you need to do is back up your nonsense with facts...?

Ode.

dougivilla: Now I know its irredimable! Try spiritualists please!

You no get shame ni? Please keep quiet at least till you are capable of articulating yourself properly with cogent reasoning.


Dufus ...

kettykin: Here is what Domkat Bali had to say about Nzeogwu

And what's that rubbish got to do with the fact that he was a coward, despicable and blood thirsty killer of innocent people including pregnant women?

Sounds like you are slow in the head?

dougivilla: The write up was meant only for people with reasoning abililies and without comprehension challenges.

I understand your dilema and you're probably not alone. Pls seek for help, perhaps your condition is not yet irredimable

Thanks for admiting that your comment was meaningless and you don't have any sane and rational points to back it up.

Next time, please make sure not to spew what you can not back up and stand by with good and sensible reasoning.

ladychoice: Pls i neva said tinubu controls foreign investors, i said tinubu controls LAGOS and laggos has d highest number of investors wit industrial development thriving everyday!

And exactly in what way is he controlling Lagos? Not that Tinubu controlling Lagos is a bad thing based in the fact that Lagos remains the best administered and managed state in Nigeria ..... but please tell us exactly how Tinubu is running everything in lagos.

dougivilla: I think someone has done justice to the issues you raised, but talking about looting and curruption, is the speaker of Lagos state PDP? Obj seized allocations due to lagos state for some years if i'm not mistaken, Yar'dua released them, with acrued interest as directed by the courts, where is the money? Remember that Tinubu hounded all the corporate bodies most of which had their head offices in lagos to increase IGR and make up for a large chunk of the seized allocation. Note that those taxes and associted charges are yet to be relaxed

As a transparent gov't, where is it reflected in lagos state budget? Or is expansion of the roads (not construction oh) from Orile to Mile 2, then to Badagry which is taking almost forever to reach 30% completion after 6 years your idea of a working government? Poorer neighboring Benin repulic did theirs within 20 months.

Agreed, Oshomole of Edo is really working, but go also to Akwa-ibom and Rivers state and see real developments, are they ACN? Its the individuals not the party. I still maintain they are birds of same feathers.

Stop painting Tinubu, Buhari and ACN or APC as better than Metuh, Gooluck or PDP. And mind you, Tinubu is not elected as at today to lead Lagos or anyother state for that matter. Attributing the success if any in Lagos to him only butresses the fact that the elected governors in the sw are puppets or stooges!

Youths, please lets think of how we can get back our country, thats my pisition!

when you people stitch your rubbish together, at least try as much as possible to articulate some sense and relevant points.

Ujujoan: Are people saying that Nigeria is safe ans secure and life is good
Which Nigeria? Same one I was born and raised
OP please let me advice you as a Nigerian LIN . . . Come back but leave your family there!
Your children will hate you for making their life miserable.
I have an in-law who returned from SA after retirement and OMG I feel for those kids. The definitely are not happy.
No light . . you'll spend a huge amount of money on fuel just to escape the intense heat!
No water . . well except you can afford the cost of sinking and maintaining a BH.
no good roads . . I'm sure you read about thousands of lives lost on accidents on Nigerian roads . .
No security . . . Please kidnappers are REAL. Don't let people deceive you! Even if you can afford the ransom, what about the emotional and physical trauma
Bad governance . . . People wasting public funds like it's their personal money!
Please please pleas . . . DO NOT put your children through that!

Sounds very honest and straight to the point.

See as one man's opinion dey make old men and scum bags shake inside pata...

lmao. Asiwaju ni Oga gbo gbo won...

There's nothing like ones own country, but sometimes ones own country becomes too messed up and non conducive for a better way of life hence leaving for good or return years later.

But at one point, Nigeria has to get better and that better starts from us all hence returning to fill in the gap from entering the public service or joining the business and service community.

So p, what should really be articulated by many posters in this thread to help the OP are varying points of day to day existence in Nigeria from expectations and what's available, what is not available and how to improvise or get around obstacles or what's not available and even the cost of working around obstacles.

Naija based Nigerians are in a better position to articulate the truthful facts about Life in general, how they survive with transportation, food entertainment, work and professional life, peoples state of mind and hospitality, basic utilities like water, electricity, safety and security.

Do you still have to bribe your way through everything? What's the general landscape like? Is it hostile? Is it frustrating? Can you get anything done with minimal worries or headache?

If you need to buy or build a house, what's the cost of land, materials or when the general cost from one location to the other.

Uprooting ones family from abroad to Nigeria is not a small deal because its huge enough to stress and break up any family if proper planning and investigation is not done.

So if naija based folks really feel like helping, they owe the OP the honest truth about every aspect of life in Nigeria from top to bottom instead of all the clashing egos and bickering.

She don resurrect again? Time for another round of Ash.ole Rock thanksgiving party and orgy...

Is there any sane reason to be a fan of the dumbest and the most retar.ded president ever to start with? Were you expecting some kind of miracle from that incompetent loser? And what about your own warped, unintelligent and questionable judgement?

Village sheep...

Story..... Story.... Story....

Rossikk: So even without knowing the details of this accident, you've already concluded it is the fault of govt?

You are indeed a sorry, pathetic case.

You spewed that nonsense because road safety is foreign to you. Please keep quiet. As.holrock apologist.

We saw GEJ and his horrible ways and doomed game plans for Nigeria from a million miles away and we warned you people, we screamed and yelled, but you people insulted us all, you called us all the dirty names in the world, you claimed this useless man as your ibo blood, you even gave him some stupid eleble nonsense name, you not only supported all his nonsense and policies, you insult other people when they point it out, you call us haters, you call us tribalist, even the rodents and dogs in your villages voted for him.

When this clown pardoned Alams, the whole world objected, but not you people.

What goes around comes around so STFU and enjoy your share of the bad luck.

What a painful and horrible way to die. RIP to them all.

They sadly paid the price for bad road safety and enforcement culture in a country where the irresponsible for.their death are incompetent and corrupt from top to bottom.

Crybabies crying again. What else is new?


Abeg give them biscuit make den stop crying.

lol @ another ibo on ibo assault and atrocity...
