₦airaland Forum

Afam4eva: Why's is it so difficult for people to accept who they are and move on. What's wrong with being an ACN or PDP member? is it by force to be seen as a non-partisan poster?

You should simply never have children or even get married because I don't see what a very confused, unprincipled weakling and needy person like you can add to the life of another human being but confusion and chaos. You are talking inanely of "Non-partisan" poster when everyone in this tread, because they are not as dumb as you are, realise you are the person confusing Party affiliation with propaganda.

Who here has denied that they feel a certain Party, for whatever reason, is the lesser devil if not indoctrinated fools and traitors like you who stand for nothing and continue to make yourselves, from generation to generation, the enemy within? Have I ever pretended to be "non-partisan£ here , as if that is even desirable given that Nigeria cannot afford for its youth to be apathetic and apolitical, or is it that a fool like you , always seeking to be liked through populist pontifications, simply dribble and confuse himself silly with the cursed antenna in your head tuned in to making you a bigoted piece of sh1te and crap excuse of a human being? Look around you silly punk to note that youths worldwide, in even nations where things work as they should , are not apathetic like the bloody f00l you are.

Once again, I urge you to prove your case and substantiate your allegation. Stupid punk. How many time has this forum had to grimace with the misfortune of seeing you do this over and over again? I.e showing you are a vile and bigoted semi-illiterate not clever enough to cover his tracks of ethnic clannishness? How many threads have you started here linked with ethnic mischief? If you are not attempting to discredit how a Yoruba lady was first to drive a car in Nigeria you are up to no good asking why "Igbo" DJ zeej is singing in Yoruba and working other ethnically divisive angles here to please the lifelong obsession with vacuous bigotry you idiots should sue your parent for instead of disturbing us well-adjusted folks with. You are not normal. Stop blaming others for that. Look closer to home m0r0n and towards those who have made it impossible for you to talk and think without prejudice against others

Billyonaire: Guys, I got to go have my drink for the night soon. I advise you either join a political party like me, and take responsibility for your Party's mistakes and seek ways to correct it, or not attack a party when you do not belong to one. There is no reason why a political persona-non-grata should insult a fellow who carries a party registration card and pays dues. Join a Party or cease criticism. There is no sitting on the fence here.

You are a member of a Nigerian political Party same as you are a "billionaire"? Look, you attention-seeking piece of garbage, learn to refrain from peddling these transparent lies you think make you appear as somebody worth something when your silly and delusional utterances only shows you to be an insecure loser who comes online to feel a sense of worth your real existence is pathetically bereft of. Stop running up and down chanting the same thing merely because some of us challenged losers like you to get involved and pitch tent somewhere. Silly loser and empty braggart. That is what empty barrels like you know. I.e to run your mouth and pretend to be what you can never be. Sad fool.

Sincere 9gerian: @Gbawe..,you wrote "sincere9gerian openly ask for GEJ to bully politicians with the PDP and he also was in full support of GEJ's anti-democratic recent actions"

You have just displayed your lies and propaganda again. What do you mean by "GEJ's recent anti-democratic actions"? I guess you were refering to the recent PDP BOT chairmanship election? I wonder what is "anti-democratic" about the PDP electing its BOT chairman by consensus? Before accusing GEJ of being "anti-democratic", did you bother to check that since inception, the PDP BOT chairman has always emerged by consensus? Since the PDP BOT chairmanship post was decided, did any PDP member complain that the current chairman was not properly elected? Did any PDP member take the party to court on the issue of the recent BOT election? Why are you losing sleep about the internal affairs of the PDP?

The president is only "anti-democratic" in your jaundiced imagination. This same president conducted an election in 2011, in which your party the ACN won Ogun and Oyo, and the CPC won in Nasarawa, among several other legislative posts. Can you share with us how the ACN shamelessly rigged the 2011 Lagos local council elections? The lower election tribunal nullified some of those elections (though the appeal court later reversed some of the decisions based on TECHNICALITIES). Nigerians know those who are "anti-democratic" in their actions

liar, liar pants on fire. Is this not the same forum you blatantly submitted a post insinuating that GEJ should deal with 'non-supporting' governors? You are just a born liar anyway so you are not worth the time of anyone who is serious. Unlike you and other liars here, I prove my case , when I level allegations, to show who the real propagandists and shameless liars are. You guys are all pathetic and disgraceful products to your community and Nation. Below, everyone can see me directly supplying proof of how you supported the notion of GEJ "dealing with" anyone who dares to challenge his ambition. You are a joke, a failure and a loser. Just like Afam4eva and the other clowns here. Spin what you wrote below. Lying punk.

It is a given that GEJ will win the 2015 PDP primary election by a landslide. Any PDP second term governor that insists on opposing GEJ rather than going for senatorial position(like Bukola Saraki of Kwara did in 2011), will be SEVERELY DEALT WITH immediately he leaves office. In fact, the PDP presidential primary come 2015 will be a much easier when compared with what happened in 2011, when there were many first time governor and GEJ was still unsettled.
The political adviser of Mr president said it the way it is, no need for diplomacy. Moreover, party primaries in Nigeria are not won by being diplomatic.
The real opposition will come again in the general election, when GEJ will contend with another northern consensus candidate.

Eko Ile: Instead of parading around and looking for attention like a troubled child, you can help your uncle by proving his lies with evidence of propaganda and this is me assuming unlike your lying uncle, you are not an illiterate and you know the meaning of propaganda.

Now, go to work and make yourself useful.

He is simply another attention-seeking cretin. Why has he or one of the other losers not simply told Afam4eva to prove his propaganda" claim?

Eko Ile: The greater insult is you lying on other people and refusing to back up your lies with facts. That's the ultimate insult so you have zero credibility or moral authority to say anything about insults.

Imagine a damn mod going around spreading lies, slandering and disparaging other people ....

The biggest mistake this site made was making a dishonest and zero credibility person like you a mod.

That was just a cruel joke and a dent at the quality of this site and its decision makers.

Don't mind the lying, semi-illiterate piece of sh1te. To simply prove his allegation is now mount Everest. Instead him and his band of hateful brothers are running from pillar to post disgracing themselves as usual here. This is how people like them run around lying against decent folks they should hope God can make them even 10% similar to.

Afam4eva: I think we can tone down on the insults, Ig you can make intelligent rebuttals then it's better not to speak especially if your post is laced with infantile abuses.

Effing liar. Prove your case. You are nothing but a coward. Is this not how you ran away from the first debate held here by claiming you "forgot"? You are a dishonourable, pathetic and weak excuse of an adult male. The only thing you can do to make me stop is to prove your case of "propaganda" or ban me. Simply show I lie, back the ACN blindly as Beaf and Insincere9Nigerian do with the PDP/GEJ and show I make claims I could not back up with an authoritative source as Beaf and Insincere9gerian do. Like I said, it is only this forum that unites me and a lying, immoral and bigoted *astard like you. Your entire lineage are liars if you don't prove your case.

gramci: Gbawe is just delusional.

It is you who is delusional. No one is fooled by the shameless antics of you and your fellow bigots. Is 8,600.00 posts not enough for you all to make a case for your bigoted team? Sad losers.

Afam4eva: I repeat, Gbawe is no different from the ekoiles of this world. He's a propaganda machine for anything ACN just like sincere9gerian is for PDP or at least GEJ like he claims. No form of memoir from Gbawe will blind us into seeing him as a neutral observer. Even the blind can attest to the fact that his posts are nothing but bias for ACN. He never sees anything good in whatever GEJ or PDP does but everything that comes from ACN is made in heaven. You can deceive others but not me.

And for those that brought my moderatorship to bear, i'll like to inform you that even after i became a moderator, my username still remain "Afam4eva". It didn't change to "Afam4evaModerator". That means whatever i say here is in my personal capacity and not those of Nairaland. I'm a volunteer here but i don't work for Nairaland. There's a difference. So, don't expect any form of non-partisanship from me.

Stupid m0r0n, just show one example of "propaganda" you stark illiterate and ill-exposed cretin. It is only this forum that unites me and an unsophisticated gutter product like you who does not and will never realise that it is normal, especially with Nations led very badly, for right-thinking and adult citizens to be politically passionate.

eggheaders: coming from an unintelligent brainless android like you.it so pathetic. you that lie with so much ease.from our conversation in the morning.where u lied that tinubu is a wanted man in the usa.I disprove you.by saying he attended Obama inauguration. asap you lied again he has enter a plea bargain in the usa.like I advise you in the morning go get a brain transfer cause the current one in your skull is as faulty as grandpas cupboard TV.again try slow down on this your smoking of mosquito coil laced with pawpaw leaves and lizard shyte.cause your I.q is getting so low as the temperature in the polar region of the world.

Man mi, they are all mindless bigots. I will give a simple example to disgrace Afam4eva and his bigoted co-travellers. When OGD instigated the illegal legislative brouhaha before the 2011 election, Beaf backed GEJ 'hands-off' stance blindly. Insincere9gerian openly ask for GEJ to bully politicians with the EFCC and he also was in full support of GEJ's anti-democratic recent actions.

Yet go to the thread below to see my comment over the recent legislative debacle in Ogun State. I have never veered away from this course of siding with what is right, just and desirable to the bigger picture even if passionately supportive of the ACN. Some people are just hateful creature and they will continue to poison their generations to come with the unjustified, clannish hatred that makes them so comfortable lying and slandering others.


https://www.nairaland.com/1215525/fighting-ogun-house-assembly/3#14622741

Amosun should desist from going down this road. This behaviour is what Gbenga Daniel was roundly condemned for by everyone to include the ACN. He shames the Party showing the same level of desperation as OGD. Without any doubt, Amosun must be called to order. He is a performing governor yet his interpersonal skills must improve. He must learn to submit himself wholly to the tenets of democracy. All that talk of Nigeria needing a "benevolent dictator" is bullsh1te because it won't work in practice with the criticism that will come the minute administrators are seen to be using official strength partisanly.

Smart, modern Nigerian administrator must learn to get their way through winning support and not demanding it. If Amosun is desperate to raise funds for the right reasons then he should get the legislators on his side for this as Aregbesola and others have been able to do. Highly condemnable development that must be resolved quickly so that citizens of Ogun can have full confidence in their legislators. I hope Amosun learns from this and refrain from ever doing this in future. Once the house is irrevocably divided, it becomes impossible to deliver for the people. Remember that governor Amosun. I know Ogun 'news hounds' are here. A word is enough for the wise. Drop the ego or become another governor fighting everyone to the detriment of State development.

gramci: He's their commander in chief.

Cretins like you would not exist here if most posters had the balls to stand up for what is right and call out slanderous and bigoted cowards like you, Afam4eva, freemumu et al . On this thread, I have challenged you all to prove your case several times yet not one of you lying *astards can. Pathetic.

All folks like you have in your armoury is evil indoctrination that makes you hate and oppose others senselessly. You don't dwell in the real world of winners and achievers where folks, when challenged to do so, prove their case with fact and solid evidence to back any claim that come out of their mouth. The simple challenge, once again, is for you fools to prove my "lies" and "propaganda" since I have over 8,600.00 post here to make your job easy. Are we to assume 8,600.00 post is not enough for you cowards and liars to prove your case with?

You are all just bigoted trash who hate others for no other reason than how you have been programmed to do exactly that. Prove your case. Cowardly *astard.

Sealeddeal: i do not take side with anybody in this issue.i only take side with opinion and i think Afam4eva have the right to make an opinion and you likewise have the right to self defence.However,the line you toed initially is suggestive of sth unconnected to what he opined and i therefore tasked you to know that issue of 'MOD have nothing to do with issue at hand.

His "opinion" is a blatant lie. If a balanced person then why not tell him to prove his "opinion"?

While on the topic, I too wish to express my opinion that you a child molester who sadistically abused a 2 year old boy last night. Slander is never an option for decent people. Tell Afam4eva to validate his opinion otherwise you are just another clannish person finding a roundabout way to defend those you will always be inclined to support whether they do right or wrong. It is silly , and fundamentally senseless, for you to suggest anyone can go around lying against others and we are to just accept that as them "expressing their opinion".

FreeGlobe: isn't it pathetic when losers like you have no reasonable defense to their false claims they whoop up ethnic sentiments. You must think we are fools to believe your ACN lies and propaganda you sell daily on Nairaland. Everybody knows you so stop fronting like you are an intellectual here. You are no different than alhaji lie Mohammed, eko ile no brain, and garri.

Mumu, show the "propaganda" or get lost. Don't previous posts of all posters still exists here? Or do you need guidance as per how to view the previous post of other forumers? The f00l you and others clannishly ran in here to defend has been called out directly. He has disappeared as he usually does and as the coward he is. No noise from you and other clannish twerp can change the situation. Unless you are going to prove my "lies" and propaganda, then I suggest you get lost and stop stalking other like a pathetic and jobless hag.

Is it today people like you have been making false accusations against decent, gracious and accommodating people? They "hate you" and "want to wipe you out" et al yet the on-the-ground reality bears no semblance to your made-up paranoia, character defamation and ludicrously false rants. This behaviour is second nature to the likes of you and Afam4eva. You guys should learn to stop lying and, most importantly, learn to stop deluding yourselves simply because you are indoctrinated to hate others. Prove your case lying ..astard and show the "lies" and "propaganda" from Gbawe.

Sealeddeal: there is no other way to explain jealousy than what you decided to post here.Being a MOD does not kill Afam4eva's right for self expression,for expression of opinion etc. I dont know why you chose that line. Do you wanna be a MOD?

You must be out of your mind to think I have nothing going in life than to be jealous of a Nairaland mod. If people like you have built nothing worthwhile in life to the extent a Mod position on this forum is now something you assume others are jealous of, then I can only tell you to get off the net and get a life.

I said what I said because of Afam4eva's sneaky nature. I have called him out and ordinarily I know he will do what he does best. Run away. Now he is a mod, he can sneakily delete threads that expose his idiocy. Don't come here and start showing blind partisanship to ethnicity as some are cursed to do. Simply ask Afam4eva to prove his case.

Some of you should show you can be principled and stand up for what is right for once in your life instead of just taking positions glaringly due to bias. You cannot even appreciate how pathetically biased you sound. I had nothing to do with this thread and only came in to challenge a m0r0n to validate the slander he throws around casually. Yet reason and fairness always takes a flight with your sort because siding clannishly with others is all you are about. This forum is crap because of people like you who are always taking sides instead of standing up for what is right or morally desirable. Tell Afam4eva to prove his case or get lost.

FreeGlobe: Don't think too highly of yourself to prevent a heart attack.. You actually have the reputation for being a liar on NL like your colleagues (empty)eggheader, eko ile, seanet01, takedat and illegun abi illegalboy.

Shut up bigoted twerp. Every Yoruba person is everything negative under the sun to vile and hateful creatures like you. You get the indoctrination from the womb. Prove your case and simply show where I lie or get lost. I don't need more groupies than I have already.

Geomac: Ekoile, Yes but Gbawe should not be in the same sentence with insincere9gerian.

Thank you !!!! I am steaming mad at this fool Afam4eva !!! This is how his sort casually slander the image of others here with their lying mouths. They make outrightly false claims they are never able to prove when called out. I want anyone here to show, even once, where I have not supplied a source to show any laudable political achievement I bring here. Of course those who have no good name to protect will let the AFam4eva of the world rant but I don't take kindly to folks claiming I am what I am not merely because they are apathetic ...tards who do not appreciate that others can be very passionate about something they don't care about. Afam4eva and co will never appreciate that apathy, neutrality and sitting on the fence with pride did not build the Nations we all admire worldwide. I am allowed to support a Party or politician passionately and I don't care if that annoys some here. What I reject is anyone branding me a liar or propagandist, like Beaf and Insincere9gerian, when that is completely false.

Afam4eva: Sincere9gerian and Beaf are to PDP what Gbawe and ekoile are to ACN. They're all guilty of the same crime and that crime is "PROPAGANDA".

Look you silly twerp, just show where I have engaged in propaganda like Insincere9gerian even once or accept here and now that you and your entire lineage are lying *******d. Being a mod does not mean you are different to the illiterate, annoying and deceitful twerp you have always being. You have no right casting aspersion on the character of others merely because you are indicative of the black man who does not like to read. Prove your accusation , here and now, that I engage in propaganda on behalf of the ACN or any politician.

I don't know how many times it must be explained to thickos like you that supporting a political Party or politician passionately does not amount to propaganda. If not that Nigeria is an aberration, would it not be abnormal for folks like you to go around accusing others of propaganda because they have the sort of passion that builds institution, engender change plus deliver better governance while you go around with your inane badge of apathy and 'neutrality'?. SHow one nation in the world that has being built through your sort of apathy !!! M0r0n!! It is folks like you ruining Nigeria and making politicians secure in the knowledge they can do what they want to Nigerians. If you dare try any abuse of power to delete this post where you have slandered me falsely then I will simply let the owner of the forum aware of your antics. Prove your case and show where I have engaged in propaganda, i.e deliberate falsification, or accept you and everyone in your family are lying ***tards. This is how worthless idiots like you slander the good name of others because of your bias and illiteracy.

ilugunboy: Why not get worried about the implosion coming to PDP soon....why are you concerned with APC issues....

You guys have issues

Thank you. They are simply clannish cretins who do not wish to confess what really motivates them. Could any Party be more evil and more worthless than the PDP? Do we not have a 14 year period to corroborate this view?

Why are some supporting this Party , proven to be evil beyond redemption, if not because of the clannish predisposition of Nigerians that means we are capable of supporting evil once anyone we are affiliated with, through ethnicity and religion or any sectional common ground, joins evil?

Insincere9jara, you will collapse soon at this rate. No doubt your blood pressure has risen massively since APC was announced. Your messiah will be kicked out of Aso Rock regardless of all this pathetic show you are putting up here. My advise is for you to go and retrain as a carpenter because sycophancy , as an occupation, will be dead circa 2015. The new leaders of Nigeria will not need you, Omokri, Maku and Okupe because they will be leaders who know precisely what they are doing and need no one to lie for them. A word is enough for the wise. Go and buy a saw, chisel, drill and tape measure. Get busy and stop disturbing us here.

Sometimes I want to cry for Nigeria and just burn my Nigerian Passport. Five pages of garbage over the antics of a President who is now only spurred into acting because his political interest is threatened? And some Nigerians are defending/praising this show of cynicism? He is the President who must set standards of bravery and not follow others for crying out loud !!! He has had plenty of time to be decisive, resolute and brave yet this action, to those who don't fool themselves, now shows him to be a politcal lackey of APC to be controlled and directed as a Dog wags it tail. This should not be so for god sake !!!!

Yet some fools bigoted beyond belief now want us to think GEJ has achieved something from this visit he only felt compelled to make after APC politicians more or less called him out. Sad for Nigeria and discouraging for our future that many Nigerians are incapable of decisive and critical thinking. It is actions like this that shows GEJ can do far more if he wants to yet he lives in a comfort zone linked to his weak nature and total lack of goodwill for Nigerians. We have only ever seen this opportunist acting decisively macho when his political interests is threatened and never when it is about bravely doing what is best for Nigerians. That is something that must worry all right thinking Nigerians. I am truly shocked at the extent of the bastardization of the mentality of some Nigerians.

Maxymilliano: Gbawe, are you indirectly referring to me from the bold part of your comments?

Bros next time, be courageous to quote me so that I can share with you more revelations about political matters at your home State you don't know about.

Like I said earlier on this thread, Amosun is a good administrator but he should also replicate skills in managing the persoel under his administration.

NULGE is presently on strike in Ogun State, if you need more info on the crux of the issue, let me know... I'll give you the facts, not fictions reported in the dailies.

Anyway, a reconciliation meeting was held today 6th of March among the warring faction in the House at the governor's office, below is the one of the pic that was taken...

No. I was not talking about you but you may need to work on your paranoia. I was amused about the part in bold red font. Again, you show the lack of humility that gets many Nigerians in trouble. I.e always quick to assume you know more than others instead of positioning yourself in ways that means you can get the best out of people by acknowledging that they could be anything and absolutely anyone since you don't know who they are.

Man mi, take it from me when I say you simply cannot appreciate those I know and happen to be directly related to in Ogun politics. That some of us don't brag about political 'in-house' knowledge and association is a measure of personal class and the realisation that there is nothing to brag about. Let us just say there is nothing you can tell me about Ogun politics I cannot find out myself, if interested, via making a phone call.

This is more like it. No perfect political Party but very important to respect the electorate. This apology is in order and comes quickly as appropriate.

nagoma: The objective evidence is different. No president can ever perform as badly as GEJ. No leader in Nigeria ever had the resources and the goodwill of Nigerians as obasanjo and he messed it up. You have a problem - bigotry , may be a terminal illness in your own case.

This delusional clown's type of bigotry is one tinged with madness. He once stated ludicrously that no Yoruba man can get a job ahead of an Igbo man if the consideration was merit-based. That was when I realised the guy was a certified grade A lunatic and loser. A grotesque caricature. I feel sorry for him because he is in the category of those that hate has made demented. That is why he comes out with things that will make even the most thick-skinned person to cringe.

I suggest you don't take him seriously. No one does here except the other bigots who worship him because they recognise one of their 'own' same as GEJ is loved and surrounded by the largest number of criminal elements in Nigeria.

My Dear Sister, I join you passionately in getting issues "off your chest". I fully understand, knowing your history here, that this sort of thread comes from you in total sincerity. That you have always defended your Country and people cannot be in doubt here especially if folks know how to see the previous post of others. I read that news as well and was totally deflated. Why murder the woman after literally bankrupting her? This was a woman, despite advise to the contrary, clung to the hope of love and the belief in the genuineness of her Nigerian suitor despite everyone telling her not to pursue things further.

The only thing I can say to good folks like you is that you must keep being good. There is no other alternative. Our fellow Nigerians are truly wicked and shameful. They make things more difficult for you and me. We simply have to carry on being good and hope that goes some way, however little, to counteracts our overall perception in a world where people mainly remember negatives.

seanet02: the house was initially divided by Akinlade largesse. The Governor though is trying to force the members into submission but doing it the wrong way. Though a performing Governor, Amosun still have some dictatorial tendencies of PDP. We will help him remove it with our astute politicking.
But am amazed as why Amosun is a performing governor despite being dictatorial in nature.
Though people do make mountains of of moles but he needs to change this tactics i agree.
Ogun ACN leadership will surely look into this and put things in order.

Correct Seanet. Amosun means well but his approach should entail getting assured majority support for his actions privately so that this type of situation does not play out damagingly in public.

Public power-play situations like this undermine the ultimate goal of everyone working in the best interest of Ogun State. All I will say is that Amosun should try and learn from others like Aregbesola and Fayemi. Those guys face the same issues but realise that letting frustration boil over is counter-productive. Amosun cannot alienate everyone with overtly dictatorial actions. Difficult elements must be defeated strategically. At the bottom of all this is an administrator's zeal to develop this State as quickly as possible. Nonetheless, Amosun has to learn to be a better politician.

Amosun should desist from going down this road. This behaviour is what Gbenga Daniel was roundly condemned for by everyone to include the ACN. He shames the Party showing the same level of desperation as OGD. Without any doubt, Amosun must be called to order. He is a performing governor yet his interpersonal skills must improve. He must learn to submit himself wholly to the tenets of democracy. All that talk of Nigeria needing a "benevolent dictator" is bullsh1te because it won't work in practice with the criticism that will come the minute administrators are seen to be using official strength partisanly.

Buhari is certainly correct about GEJ lacking the political will to fight corruption. Not really news considering that GEJ is hideously corrupt himself. Jonathan is sponsored by corruption. No other outcome was ever possible given his history that shows he is a poster-child for corruption. "Fresh air". Nigerians, vote wisely next time.

Maxymilliano: You never ceased to amaze Gbawe...

A word of advise, try to tone down on your bias(es)...

Why would I need advise from someone who is himself bias personified? If you cannot deal with the issues, as raised and presented, then let me tell you bluntly to get lost. Too many of you have a very unhealthy predilection for focusing on personalities here while pretending to be exposing some perceived and phantom bias you claim others show yet, in reality and according to your conduct/writing here, you are most guilty of.

Deal with the issues raised, if you have the capacity to, and stop obsessing over the poster. What easier way to prove whatever it is you are claiming than meritoriously tackling the issues I have raised thus exposing bias you frivolously accuse others of showing? No surprise you never have issues with those who invoke ethnic jingoism relating to every problems bedeviling Nigeria, perhaps because they invariably support GEJ, yet you have the gall to be accusing others of bias. Nothing worse than those sort yet you, as a hypocritical Joker, will never say anything.

take dat: Endorsed!!!

My brother, Standing5 is an intelligent chap yet he must learn to avoid the bigoted 'one-trick-Pony whose unintelligent and fraudulent automatic response to everything is "it is the fault of Yorubas/Hausas" or "the Yorubas/Hausas are preventing GEJ from working". Even a child, as long as he is not blinded by bigotry, knows that GEJ is simply one of the crooks propping up a system that abets the looting of Nigeria's wealth by men and women from every ethnic group in the Nation. Yet intelligent discussions are truncated by inane and paranoid gibberish real events on the ground defeats flatly.

Shall I give a few examples of what is being seen under GEJ that surely illustrates , without any doubt, the complicity of the President to anyone who is not paranoid-delusional?

Has it not been many months the Ribadu committee insisted we must stop, as the only major exporter doing so, selling our crude through traders? What has GEJ done about that till today?

Did Otedola, a member of GEJ's economic team we assume has the ear of the President, not suggest Nigeria simply negotiate directly with foreign refineries to defeat subsidy scams?

Only the FG and the NNPC have the authority to issue Marketers license. GEJ heads the FG and Allison-Madueke the NNPC. WHich Hausa or Yoruba spirit entered those two to begin 'forcing' them to issue licence to those without the capacity, history or capability to operate in the fuel importation sector?

Did we all not see Allison-Madueke openly sabotage the Ribadu petroleum task force with the procedurally unacceptable antics she initiated with the open compromising of Orasanye and Otti?

When the NNPC is the home of corruption only capable of delivering failure, why did GEJ, shortly after being sworn in, direct that our refineries be handed over to the NNPC for 24 months ? That inane action took Industry experts by surprise because it was one least expected and certainly perceived as a deliberate and cynical exercise in futility.

Why has GEJ and Allison-Madueke not convened a total overhaul of the NNPC recommended by industry expert yet they find it expedient to ignore researched findings relating to what will improve our petroleum sector? The place remains the grand home of corruption, lack of transparency and archaic practices deliberately initiated to abet graft. Yet GEJ ignores several committee submissions he himself asked for.

Oil theft is now at an alarming high under GEJ. Do the Hausas and Yorubas just walk into the Niger Delta to loot oil while Dokubo Asari cheers them on or is it more plausible GEJ is deliberately supervising this deplorable situation? This turn of events, like the subsidy scam, is one that could not have happened without the complicity of the Presidency and NNPC.

Look, I could go on all day but the message is obvious to Nigerians who are not bigoted. The message is obvious to Nigerians who see that the ruling PDP elite, in charge of the FG, are crooks from all ethnic groups who collude to corner the wealth of the Nation and give Nigerians absolutely nothing in return.


As for the PIB, that is not even worth discussing. This is because those who know everything about the bill, and not JJC bigots who only began to talk under GEJ, will know the PIB has always been resisted by the elite, from all corners of Nigeria, whose interest will be compromised by the passage of the bill in its purist form. Baton of Government change, from OBJ through Yar Adua and then on to GEJ, but the determination to frustrate the bill is a dance Major political players take part in.

With this current Government, Mark, Ekweremadu, Allison-Madueke are amongst those constantly implicated as working underground to thwart the bill in tandem after with major oil players like SHELL (Allison-Madueke's former employer) who have induced Nigerian politicians from all walks of life massively. Yet those who bigoted beyond redemption will never see this when they come with the unintelligent and factually fraudulent postulations simplistically seeking to blame Nigeria's problem on one ethnic group or another.

Anyone still capable of seeing what matter will know that ethnicising issues will not solve anything. It even looks distinctly foolish in the face of the real state of affairs on the ground that shows poor, corrupt and compromised leadership, which every ethnic group is guilty of, is the bane of Nigeria.

Standing5: I have been caning my own share of the Fresh Air and using it as insecticide for some time now . . . or how man wan take turn negativity to positivity? Indeed empty barrels make the loudest noise! Si9g, i hope u dey watch oh.

Might I suggest you store the 'fresh air' and use it for cooking gas? I hear it is highly flammable.

Dpeacemaker101: So because you think that IBB endorsed APC makes you think they have a better chance of becoming the president in 2015? I think you all should wake up from your slumber before it is too late, I still see GEJ sitting as my president in 2015.

Brother, it is your opinion and you are entitled to it. Personally, I don't fool or delude myself. I know my children are not going to just blossom into the productive citizens I would be foolish to think is their "god-given" right to become if I am not up and doing to ensure this happens. Likewise, keep fooling yourself GEJ will remain President in 2015 come what may and especially if he continues to fail as spectacularly as he is doing.

Yes OOO. GEJ and Allison-Madueke are "transforming" the petroleum sector. What a Country.

Nigeria behind in contract approvals among oil peers
MONDAY, 04 MARCH 2013 00:00 FEMI ASU

Nigeria’s oil and gas sector is being choked by an unusually lengthy contracting cycle which can take as long as thirty six months, while competing African nations conclude the same process in a mere three months, worsening Nigeria’s place in the ease of doing business index.

Nigeria’s slow and winding contract processes leave a sour taste in the mouth of would-be Investors interested in the country, causing them to reroute billions of dollars in foreign direct investment to competing nations, to Nigeria’s loss which is today mirrored in the fact that Nigeria’s attracts the least in investment dollars among her peers.

An industry analysis seen by BusinessDay, which outlined the average contract cycle time of eight oil producing countries, including Australia, Kazakhstan, Indonesia, Venezuela, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, Angola and Nigeria, underscored the deep difference on how the country’s oil resources are managed.

Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest producer and exporter of oil, according to the analysis, has the shortest average contract cycle time, which is three months.

It is followed by Argentina and Kazakhstan, both of which have five months as the latest time for contract approval.

Angola, Africa’s second largest oil producer, outperforms Nigeria, the Continent’s largest producer of oil and the sixth largest oil producing country in the world. Average contract cycle time for Angola is six months. Australia and Venezuela, contract approvals take seven months, while for Indonesia the cycle time is a mere eight months.

Like Nigeria, Venezuela’s oil revenues account for roughly 90 per cent of export earnings, and around 30 per cent of gross domestic product. But unlike Nigeria, it has recorded significant success in its oil and gas industry.

The investment arm of the NNPC, NAPIMs is charged with contract approvals in the oil sector but analysts say whereas officials of the NNPC spend virtually all their time meddling in the contract process, the result does not compare with the effort they put.

Said one analyst, “what you have is a mismatch between effort and result and this may well be a factor of the contrasting personal interest of those involved rather than the national interest. Because when it is the national interest, this is clear and unmistakable and can then be pursued single mindedly if this is the goal.”

Take for instance the case of Brass LNG. In the time since Nigeria began to deliberate on the matter, it has yet not reached a final investment decision whereas Angola went ahead to build her LNG plant which is due to begin gas exports in matter of weeks.

Another major example is the case of the non passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) which was first mooted in 2000. It took Algeria barely two weeks in February to pass her own new oil law which seeks to provide better incentives to investors in the face of a massive shift in the oil world.

Consequently, analysts say, actual and potential investors in the past three years have been turning to countries like Angola and Ghana, with easier modes and shorter cycles, further compounding the investment gap the Nigerian sector has been witnessing with the delay in the passage of the PIB.

Emmanuel Usanga, controller, subsurface, Peak Petroleum Industries Nigeria Limited, suggests that sometimes the NNPC’s lack of expertise in a virgin project helps prolong the contract approval cycle.

“If it is a project that has not been done before, say, LNG project, the components may require technology that may not be routinely available in Nigeria, and therefore it takes some time to have them properly evaluated.

Also, we have the Nigerian content provision, and so to ensure that there is compliance with the provisions, NNPC may throw back a proposed contract because it does not have sufficient local content,” Usanga told BusinessDay.

Biodun Adesanya, managing director, Degeneck Nigeria Limited, also suggested that the delay is caused by the NNPC.

“The short time a contract should have taken is unduly prolonged by NNPC through legalistic and bureaucratic process,” Adesanya told BusinessDay.

He said this distorts work programmes of companies as they are not able to meet their targets.

Analysts say that if contract approval challenges are not resolved in Nigeria, the stagnation in the industry would linger.

“It would add to the cost of any project concerned. Consequently the country would have to pay more because inflation would have set in,” says Eddy Wikina, managing director, Treasury Energy Resources and former external affairs manager, Shell Nigeria Exploration.

Analyst agree unanimously that the consequences, besides loss of possible investments, include deferred production/revenues, cost escalation due to inflation and cost of funds, inefficient resource utilisation, abandoned projects, lack of competitiveness, loss of opportunities in a fast-shifting global oil and gas environment.

The Nigerian Content Development Act 2010 opened vistas of opportunity for indigenous participants in the industry, but the long contract approval cycle time has been a key challenge which the much-anticipated Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) is expected to resolve.

Last week, at the Nigerian Oil and Gas Conference in Abuja, Samuel Egube, director, Corporate Banking, Diamond Bank Plc had said that the passage of the much-anticipated Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) was expected to engender reduced contract processing and approval cycles through an industry wide adoption and deployment of contracting and bidding vehicles, such as the Nigerian Petroleum Exchange (NIPEX).

According to him, other benefits of the PIB are increased contract tenures from the current 2+1 contract cycles to 5 and 10 years cycles, to encourage long-term projects and contract financing, as well as simplified tax regime and fiscal structure.

In a bid to fast-track contract processes in the industry, online bid tendering was introduced in 2010 by the NNPC to do away with the analogue era noted for poor transparency, accountability and a lengthy contracting cycle.

Pukkah: Vituperations ignored.

Best thing to do.
