what does the minister want to spill? N2.8Billion oil money missing or what.

RobinHez:
Lol

Actually, there are other ancient accounts of a great flood. They (+the biblical story) are classified by Wikipedia as myths... Due to lack of strong evidence.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_flood_myths



Like I said, using "all" would be referring to "all that was known".

Before America was discovered, the Britons thought they had conquered all that was to be conquered, so in their own sight, they had the "whole world"...

in other words, what was written in genesis is based on what was known then by the jews. If that is the case, one can say that before the creation of adam and eve, people were already living elsewhere.

MadCow1:
Including all the Fresh water fishes and creatures because in the flood, Salt water go cover everywhere and they would all die...

what of the feaces of all these animals. Who will do the cleaning? Now, someone is talking about a goat feeding a lion cub. What will the goat go on to produce milk?

youalreadyknow:
Think a university Chancellor and a Vice Chancellor then you know who the illiterate is.

Get your facts right. The GMD cannot award contract above a certain limit except approved by the board. The GMB only runs the day to day activities of NNPC while major decisions are taken at the board level. Recall that the NNPC act states that the petroleum minister is always the chairman of the board. Even Deziani was the chairman of the board of NNPC and it was through this position that she awarded contracts and pilfer our common resources.

buharisbae:
nd the twitter senator?

the twitter senator should donate his salary to bayelsans as he intended doing during the osun crisis. Today, osun is not owing its workers.

This write up was not clearly thought through. This is because the writer is accusing the president of an impeachable offence. You accuse the president of spending money not appropriated. That is an impeachable offence. All moneys must be appropriated for before they can be spent.

StOla:
Ben Bruce will not mention the name.

He has already heard of one man named Dokpesi who has begged Tinubu to settle out of court, and is now daily apologizing profusely for the next 3 months.

Murray Bruce though loquacious, knows when to shut his mouth and will not provide the evidence for his own libel accusation.

this time around, bruce will be sued for all he is worth and will be given an out of court settlement of begging in front of the senate for one year. Yeye dey smell.

sirade:
are you a metallurgist.
You have an indebt knowledge of iron and steel technology.

Kudos bro

yes. Am a year 2001 graduate of metallurgy from FUTA

Enice:
most of the things written on that your topic is false.
1. DSC does not require billets or raw materials from Ajaokuta. They operate different systems. DSC uses the shaft furnace system to produce what is called sponge iron or direct reduced iron (DRI) which is then melted with the EAF (electric arc furnace). The raw material required for this method is high quality iron ore with iron content of above 67% and natural gas. The iron ore can be obtained for NIOMCO itakpe through beneficiation. The natural gas is abundant in the south south.
2. In the case of Ajaokuta, it uses the blast furnace system to produce what is called liquid steel or iron. The major raw material is iron ore of above 32% and coal the iron ore may not require beneficiation because Nigerian ore exceeds 32% but the higher the iron content the lesser the slag.
Now here comes the tricky part. Nigeria has abundant coal but Nigeria coal is not coking. It has a high ash content and is low porosity.

for you to use coal in the blast furnace, it must be coking. That is carbon content exceeding 98%. Ash content must be less than 2%. Nigerian coal has ash content greater than 2%. This will lead to a longer melting time and high slag production making it uneconomical. In the case of the mechanical and physical properties like porosity and compressive strength, these can be resolved through the use of a binder that burns off in the presence of heat. This is done by pulverising the coal, screening to remove silica and mixing with the binder to impact strength.
3. Here is the truth. For you to light the blast furnace, you need guarantee of not less than 5 to 10 years supply of coke. Since Nigerian coal is not coking, then we need to import. Here the politics comes in. Nigeria has not been able to find any country that can guarantee that much years of coke supply. Hence we can basically conclude that Ajaokuta is a white elephant project unless we change to the DRI method. Research is currently ongoing at the NMDC nigerian metallurgical development center Jos to make nigerian coal coking.

Dr. Fayemi's First Half Truth on # Ajaokuta . Read
and Share!!!
Dearest # Nigerians , We did a good job spreading
my post "Time to Break the Conspiracy
Surrounding Ajaokuta" found here https://
www.facebook.com/NatashaAkpoti/posts/10154065985231758
Hon. Min. Dr. Fayemi got to read it and your
comments too. To this, while defending the
budget, he spent quite some time yesterday at
the National Assembly talking, for the FIRST time,
about the (partly) true reasons why the
government cannot revive #Ajaokuta now. This
truth the minister decided to speak out is the
legal case between GSHL (GIHL) the Indians and
FG of Nigeria I mentioned in my post.
Few words for Hon. Minister Dr. # Fayemi:
1. Thank you for corroborating my statement on
the fact that Global Infrastructure (GHSL) is
holding Nigerian government to ransom over the
Ajaokuta/ Itakpe's arbitration. http://
www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/197876-ajaokuta-steel-company-wont-function-immediately-minister.html . Now, Nigerian's are
fully aware that all the previous posts in the
media was cool air blown on Nigerians' wounds.
Sir it isn't going to work anymore.
However sir, you mentioned that you would need
1 year to clear the legal hurdles surrounding
Ajaokuta. 1 year is too much a time sir.
Nigerian's do not have 1 more year to waste over
a legal contract entered into without the best
interest of Nigeria at the soul of it. We know its
quite uneasy for you; uneasy so because GHSL
has powerful "godfathers" and their legal counsel
is a Special Adviser to the president himself; and
ironically on matters relating to the improvement
of social welfare for the common man. We plead
with Mr. President, the Attorney General and your
kind self to please expedite the termination of
every legal agreement with the Indian company.
Nigerian's are fast losing their patience.
2. Hon. Minister, you also mentioned that the
Federal Government has spent over $10b on
Ajaokuta from inception till date http://newtelegraphonline.com/fg-spent-10-bn-ajaokuta-fayemi/ . Sir, you know that by and large,
more than half of the $10b was fraudulently
embezzled by those we entrusted our sovereign
wealth with. It is wrong to add the Abacha loot,
# SolGas and now GHSL erroneous expenditures
to the supposed money "spent" on the Ajaokuta
steel plant. At this time I wish Ajaokuta Steel
were a human being and could speak for itself.
Pity.
TPE Russia has built over 40 steel plants around
the world, Ajaokuta is the only one they never
completed and commissioned. Nigeria Why
Maybe its time Nigerian's got a glimpse of the
legal contract between GSHL and Nigeria. Watch
my page in a few hours...

hahahahahaha!

They have not solve the Boko Haram problem, they want to create militancy.

Oil prices still dropping, naira still dropping, prices still rising, inflation galore.

All this fight Buhari is starting, shows he has no economic outlook, no plan.

All is just distraction from facing real economic question and challenges.

Make hungry kill Nigerians, Baba one chance has no time or plan for the economy.

as the Americans would say, it is not advisable to negotiate with terrorists as doing so would open the flood gates for others to take advantage of you. The military is right on this one.

If I am in your shoes.


I will just hold the evidence. And. Burst out to have a child with a lovely lady who is ready to have a child with me.


I know some ppl won't agree with me

But. Op. The woman that can do that for 11 year. Don't dear try to change her. If u want to see your child in no time.



Some ppl are just good to leave in confusion



Now the work here is to make sure she didn't get to know about your new wife and child

true talk. With such evidence, all you need do is to place along with her. Have a child outside then when the time is ripe, play your joker. As the saying goes, "revenge is like a dish. It taste best when served cold".

Dear followers, see the response I got for politely suggesting that Dasuki be tried openly!

https://mobile.twitter.com/benmurraybruce/status/690969029821882368

first, Dasuki was former NSA. He might out of anger try to reveal top secret of government. Second, the Obama look alike should know that even the senate which he is a member holds close door sessions. He should first try to stop the close door sessions of the senate before interfering in another arm of government, hypocrite. Third, security issues are not to be dicussed in the open. You don't know who may be listening. What you take as irrelevant may be important to some terrorist. So, you bitter man trying to pull down the house just because you lost an election, elections are over. It is time for governance. Think of the lives of the citizens first before spewing rubbish on the internet.

easrael:
Early this morning, I read a directive by the Central Bank of Nigeria to all Banks in the country where it ordered all banks in Nigeria to start charging N50 on all transactions that are above N1,000 from ALL Nigerians.

Now, as many of us may now know this until the banks start charging it and they give you tons of excuses for it.
Here are three facts why THIS charge is a FRAUD in totality!

1. This charge is to be under a particular stamp duty which is illegal in banking transactions! At least, I know stamp duties are charged under postal orders and not on some bank transactions.

2. The account number the money is to be remitted into (CBN NIPOST Stamp Duty Collection Account No 3000047517) is not the popular TSA account number which was created as the ONLY Government transaction’s correspondence! What this means is that the Federal Government is as corrupt as anything you can imagine, using this scheme to deprive the middle class off their hard earned money!

3. This scheme of generating funds was not listed as one of the means to be used to generate funds this year in the 2016 budget! I have read the 1800 page document page to page in details that I can almost tell where a particular item is placed. You all can take the pain to read it too. This government never listed this means as a non-oil revenue making means.

What this scheme is scheduled to do is to suffer the middle class and the lower class in Nigeria to feed some greedy, corrupt and selfish upper class. Why hasn’t the FG set up a tax on luxury items which the upper class in our strata is entitled to?

There are so many questions begging for answers that, some of which many among us will avoid answering them. I’ll leave you with this: Do not ever think you’ll benefit from the N5,000 to be given to the unemployed people because it is strictly a Northern affair! That is where we have the poorest of the poor!

this is why most people fail english language as a subject. Either you lack comprehension skills or you are trying to be truthful by half. The law exempts savings account transactions. It only affects current account operations. This law has been in existence since we started using cheque books. Then the post stamp charge was 50kobo (check your cheque book if you have one) and banks have been collecting this charges. The difference now is that the amount may have been lower. So, research more before spewing your ignorance on the web.

This is not new. If you have a cheque book, check properly you will see a stamp on it. You have to pay duty for the stamp. What is new here is the amount of N50.

Am Not here to support or power Tribalism neither am i here to say anything political , Even thought the people in Question were from the same political party.

This reminds me of Shagari house arrest while Alex Ekwueme in Kirikiri. One Nigeria Indeed. What did you understand about this pictures..Olisa Metuh appears in court with handcuffed while Sambo Dasuki appears in court without handcuffed, Nigerian Government what is really happening. Think of that my People . A true Christian or Muslim must not try to hide the Truth Behind this Topic.

Olisah Metuh Offence
He was charged with seven counts of money laundering involving the sum of N400m, part of the $2.1bn arms fund.

Dasuki Sambo's Offence.
He is the man sharing the $2.1bn arms fund.

From http://www.viviangist.com/dasuki-and-olisah-metuhs-appearance-in-court-the-difference

Cc; lalasticlala , lets be sincere about this

The difference is that Dasuki is under EFCC custody while Metuh is in prison. Recall that when Metuh was with the EFCC, a picture of him making calls with a plasma TV in the background was posted here by Cramjones. That tells you that you are made comfortable when you are with the EFCC

TalkItAll:
A constitutional lawyer and founder of
Change.org, Ms Carol Ajie has petitioned
President Barrack Obama of the United States,
the National Judicial Council (NJC) amongst
others, over President Muhammadu Buhari’s
“disobedience of court orders.”
Ajie in the petition, which has garnered almost
200 signatories since its launch on New Year's
eve, said that Buhari by his statements during
the Presidential Media Chat at the State House
in Abuja, “is behind the flagrant disobedience of
court orders.”
The President had during the media chat
admitted that the former National Security
Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd) and the
leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mr.
Nnamdi Kanu were being held against court
orders because they could run away.
However, Ajie said that this runs contrary to the
law and the principle of separation of powers as
enshrined in the constitution.
The human rights lawyer expressed concern that
the President if unchecked might drag the
country towards dictatorship.
“Buhari took the oath of allegiance to protect the
Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
and the President’s oath of office to discharge
his duties faithfully, in accordance with the
Constitution and the laws of Nigeria.
“Within President Buhari’s first year in office, too
soon after he took the revered oaths, he and
state agents acting under his supervision and at
his maiden media chat on Wednesday 30th
December, made puerile attempts to justify
constitutional breaches.
“But under the Immigration Act, the President or
the Minister may deport anyone who travels
without a valid travel document or detain for a
period not exceeding seven days. In holding
Kanu beyond the required period, they have
infracted on the Immigration Act, the
Administration of Criminal Justice Act, the
Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
1999 and subsisting court orders."
“We call on President Buhari to resign from
office or face impeachment proceedings.
Alternatively, to avoid another Burundi, We call
on him to comply with the orders of courts,” said
the lawyer in her petition.

http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/lawyer-petitions-obama-asking-buhari-to-respect-court-orders/229324/

this is silly really! First, this charge and bail lawyer should know that Nigeria is a sovereign state. Second, as in the case of the guantanarmo inmates that were held for years without trial, Nigeria also has the right to hold suspect it feels are dangerous to its peace and unity.

Emyemyberry:
Mtcheeeeew

the election was declared inconclusive
in as much as apc was leading,does not mean it can not be overturned with the supplementary election by the pdp,

not matter how we argue this,the lacuna that apc was not declared winners can not be covered by any constitusional misintepretation.

one certainty is that there is going to be a fresh poll,and apc will have to present a fresh candidate.

i think am better than this festus keyamo of a guy

in the case of amaechi vs omehia, the supreme court stated that voters vote for parties not individuals. also, when you vote, on the ballot paper, you don't see the individual picture but the logo of the party.

400billionman:
What will Otedola and Ifeanyi Uba do ? Only rent tank farms.

Buhari the business killer.

More money for NNPC boys. NNPC refineries are unprofitable. Lets see how this goes.

This is the kind of reasoning you get when your brain is up your asz. So its good business for the government to buy imported products from Otedola at mark up price, subsidise it and sell back to Otedola to sell to you at scarcity price?

kettykin:
That guy is a fool, does he know that Nigerian economy is not American economy and that Nigeria needs all the foreign investment it can get

this kind of reasoning is what makes the white man/elites get away with murder in this country.

Wailing episode 2

PDP can't use a mere blackmail/allegations to achieve their revenge mission against Amaechi just because he played a prominent role in turning the biggest party in Africa to a mere regional party: you can continue your wailing till eternity

Amaechi turned THE BIGGEST PARTY IN AFRICA TO A MERE REGIONAL PARTY. That is some feat.

Forwetinnah:
Typical jinxed APC supporter!! Did APC campaign based on GEJs achievements/how he ran his government or that they would do better? Why do you keep comparing him to GEJ??!! You see..your Booooohari has no standards...if alot of you knew he would be worse than GEJ, why vote him?? Instead of bringing the promised Change. .he's trailing far behind his predecessor and you're proud to sit here and type this. Did you vote him to do exactly what GEJ did? What then is the change you dimwits are chanting about? Atleast the unemployed youths are the most affected. .where's the 5k he promised them. Do you know Katsina women are being paid the same money monthly as we speak? Dundee

this long epistle for me! Clap for yourself. You are criticizing PMB for a failed governance after 5months. Do you know how governments work?
Maybe you think governance is like going to buy beans in the market. Ignorance at its peak I must say (mumu). You think the conceptualization of a policy, its perfection and implementation is like a village square meeting? Shame on you. So far, PMB has performed far better than any other president.

Forwetinnah:
When Ameachi was PDP...Rivers State was good, the minute he decamped things went bad. Why would anyone vote a party that promised so much and has done absolute NOTHING SO FAR?? ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO YOURSELF?? You see how senseless you sound already?? APC CANNOT WIN A FREE AND FAIR ELECTION ANYWHERE IN NIGERIA unless they rig themselves in as usual BECAUSE THEY HAVE FFUUCCKED UP BIG TIME IN JUST 5 MONTHS..nobody in their right minds will support such rubbish

Pls can you mention just one thing the PDP under GEJ did in his first two years as president apart from removal of fuel subsidy?

Dcomrade:
More like concluding even b4 introduction

the question you should be asking is that must the judgement be based solely on the written address or on the various evidence that have been accumulated over the past 4 months? My opinion is that the written address is just a sumarization of your arguements. It does not introduce new evidence to the case and hence any good judge would most likely have written his/her judgement based on the evidence before now.

chukwudi44:
The election in River state was annulled because of the use of incident forms for the election, it would be interesting to see the supreme court judgement on this. If the supreme court affirms that judgement then lots of elections including those won by the APC would also be nullified.

before you can use the incident form, the card reader must have failed. The card reader records both failed and sucessful entry.

GiantParrot:
No problem we'll wait. Anyway, I wonder if Amaechi can argue with him self . I'll leave you with this:


“We are enduring the pain because we are paying our loans. Maybe he is lucky because we have paid out a lot of our loans if not all. So, he will have to manage."
http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/amaechi-tough-times-await-wike-in-rivers/209652/

borrowing in itself isn't a bad thing. What is bad is when you borrow to pay salaries rather than develop infrastructures. A case in point is Lagos state. She is the most indebted but most buoyant state in terms of cash.

GiantParrot:
A month long investigations by Nigerian Pilot has revealed that 21 state governments in Nigeria owe an estimated debt of N1.58 trillion (domestic and foreign debts) as at May 29, 2015.

Top on the list is Lagos State under former Governor Babatunde Fashola with N418.2billion, followed by Kano during the administration of Dr. Rabi’u Kwankwaso with N294.5billion and Rivers led by Rotimi Amaechi N138.3 billion and Jigawa under Sule Lamido (N117).
http://www.nigeriacommunicationsweek.com.ng/news/ex-govs-incur-n158trn-debt-for-21-states

you are not in a position to argue with Amaechi because you don't have the facts. He has said he did not borrow. Let the government of Rivers state come out to prove him wrong with facts. And not some junk journalism. Then, we can take it from there.

Exploit200:
I smell lies coming from u.

what lies? That Delta and Akwa-ibom are in debt or rivers is not owing?
