juman: No wonder Aso rock stinks.

Not just Aso rock. The entire nation. Go to most Government office and you will see many, many, many workers, superflous to demand, twiddling their thumbs and playing with their phones - all on paid time.

[quote author=PROUD-IGBO]Just goes to show that 'government' is the biggest business in Nigeria.....esp' in a state like Bayelsa that doesn't have much else going for the indigenes besides government employment/contracts and oil company employment/contracts; the long list above is mind-boggling, but given the present situation of things, there's very little the governor can do about it.[/quote]Superb observation. Every time I am in Nigeria, it shocks me how Nigerians don't see the abundance of potential private wealth surrounding them. I just cannot understand the fixation with politics when , literally, there is wealth to be created everywhere!!!!

Everywhere I go, all I hear is "honorable" "his excellency" and all manners of fawning superlatives, not used in most Nations of the world, to deify Nigerian politicians. Everything is lazily tied to politics and slavishly worshiping politicians because involvement in politics is a model of wealth creation that does not even require folks to challenge themselves mentally. Very sad. This is why, across Africa, foreigners come in with the right mindset and 'clean up' while we hollowly keep espousing worthless pan-African and nationalist mantra.

With Nigeria, everyone is just keen to ensure they get involved in politics and use "their turn" to eat from the National cake till it runs out. An unthinking and crude state of affairs but it is what we have for now.

Ol boy, "na our turn". Simple. A disgusting mentality but one many Nigerians, in collective myopia, subscribe to because they simply do not have the vision to see where that model of Governance is leading to. One of the criteria typifying a failed State is overt nepotism and cronyism. Go figure.

Is all this not tragic and disheartening for one of the largest exporters of crude in the World?

Unpaid subsidy: Diezani, NNPC report Okonjo-Iweala to Jonathan

NOVEMBER 22, 2012 BY EVEREST AMAEFULE AND IFEANYI ONUBA 110 COMMENTS

THE Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation has alerted President Goodluck Jonathan to a looming acute fuel shortage if the Federal Government fails to pay N1.13trn subsidy owed it (NNPC), The PUNCH learnt.

The NNPC top management, led by the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, and the corporation’s Group Managing Director, Mr. Andrew Yakubu, reportedly made this known to Jonathan at a recent meeting.

Our correspondent learnt that team told the President that the Minister of Finance, Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, had failed to pay the debt.

At the meeting, the corporation was said to have hinged its capacity to continue the importation of fuel on the payment of the debt which had accumulated over the months.

The NNPC, The PUNCH learnt, told the President that fuel might disappear from filling stations across the country if government failed to pay the debt. This is in addition to the fear that the N971bn subsidy provision in the 2013 budget is seen as grossly inadequate.

“Yes, we have made a presentation to the President. We are waiting for his response because it (payment of the subsidy claim) is very imperative for our capacity to import fuel ,” a source at the NNPC, who was privy to discussion at the meeting told one of our correspondents.

Alison-Madueke and the NNPC management were said to have requested for the meeting with the President after their failed attempts to make Okonjo-Iweala pay the subsidy claim.

The corporation has remained the only importer of fuel since the controversy over the payment of subsidy claims to importers commenced. Oil marketers have refused to import the product because the government has declined to pay some claims which the government described as spurious.

Attempts to speak with the NNPC Acting Group General Manager, Public Affairs , Mr. Fidel Pepple, on the meeting with the President proved abortive as he did not answer his telephone calls. He also failed to respond to text messages sent to his phone on the matter.

However, Pepple in June had confirmed in an interview with Reuters that the organisation owed N1.13trn in subsidy arrears.
He had said, “As at the end of May 2012, NNPC had unpaid claims of N1.134trn.

“We are concerned about the shortages but just to put it on record, NNPC has been the only organisation importing products since January when the fuel subsidy issue began.”

Okonjo-Iweala’s Senior Special Assistant on Communications, Mr. Paul Nwabuikwu, did not pick his call either. He also did not respond to a text message sent to his mobile phone on why the ministry had not paid the subsidy claims.

Oil marketers under the Jetty and Petroleum Tank Farm Owners have however faulted the N971bn budgeted for the subsidy in the 2013 fiscal year.

The group said the amount would not be enough to guarantee adequate supply of petroleum products.
The Executive Secretary, JEPTFON, Mr. Enoch Kenawa, said this during a telephone interview with one of our correspondents.
He said, “It (N971bn) will not be adequate. What the government is doing is putting Nigerians in double jeopardy. They said they are subsidising fuel, yet people can’t see the products to buy and where they have fuel, people still pay very high to get it.

“The N971bn for fuel subsidy can never be adequate. At 35 million litres of fuel consumption per day, the money can’t be enough.”

He said rather than N971bn, the government should have provided for between N1.2trn and N1.5trn, based on the current consumption pattern.

“If they want to remove, let them remove it (subsidy) instead of what they are doing right now. Based on the demand, the amount that would be reasonable for fuel subsidy should be between N1.2trn and N1.5trn,”Kenawa added.
He attributed the fuel scarcity in many parts of the country to the N888bn voted for subsidy this year, which was not enough.
The Federal Government had in January announced the total removal of subsidy on petrol and consequently hiked the pump price of the product from N65 to N141.

The government, however, reduced the price to N97 following mass protests organised by labour unions and civil society groups.
The protest also inspired the House of Representatives to institute a probe into the subsidy regime. The committee headed by Mr. Farouk Lawan had found widespread abuse of the subsidy regime. The committee’s report indicated that the country had been short-changed to the tune of N1.7trn under the subsidy regime.

Although the report was tainted by allegations of bribery against Lawan by an oil marketer, Femi Otedola, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has started the prosecution of some of the oil marketers indicted by the report.

The mistake some Nigerians make is thinking a negative indictment of Nigeria is a negative indictment of them personally. They are then forced into the automatic defense of Nigeria. Whatever indices/parameters were used, is it really difficult to believe Nigeria is one of the worst place a child can be born into when factually damning revelations, such as that below, speaks volume?

Nigeria has second highest child, maternal mortality rates'

James Azania, Benin


With an estimated 608 deaths per 100,000 deliveries, Nigeria ranks second only to India in the list of nations with the worst child mortality.

According to Women Health and Action Research Centre, an organisation committed to the promotion of sexual and reproductive health and social well-being of women and adolescents, out of 100,000 women that enter labour rooms, 50 of them do not come out alive.

With the figure (death of 50 women), the group said Nigeria also ranked second in the global number of maternal deaths.

The Chief Executive Officer of the centre, Prof. Friday Okonofua, said at a dissemination workshop on 'Assessment of Infection Control Practices in Delivery Care Units in Edo State,' that three major factors were responsible for the high maternal mortality in Nigeria.

They are bleeding after birth, pregnancy hypertension and post-delivery infections.

He said, "Studies, including data from Edo State have shown that up to four out of 10 Nigerian women experiencing puerperal infections die from the complication.

"Besides, maternal mortality in Edo State reflects the national average. Maternal health is presently not prioritised by the state government."

According to Okonofua the "results demonstrate the lack of appropriate policies and practices relating to infection control in maternal units in Edo State, given that puerperal sepsis is the third leading cause of maternal mortality in the country."

Worried by the lack of data on maternity care and puerperal sepsis in health facilities, the centre recommended that record keeping be prioritised as an important strategy to monitor the outcomes of infection control measures.

The workshop, which had in attendance officials from the state ministry of health, women affairs, health workers from public and private health institutions, accused governments of insensitivity to the problems of women.

What a joke. Sycophancy at its most nauseating. In fact Nigerians should do more than beg. They should actually pledge their life savings to GEJ to ensure he seeks a second term.

ow11: Why are high speed train - tracks more difficult for these fraudsters to build? Lagos to Abuja would take under three hours. A lot safer than flying. Yenagoa to PHC would be under 45 mins. The PHC airport can even be a train station.

Why on earth is this worse than building 36 'airports' with no proper ventilation and spending three hours preparing for a 50 min flight?

Ofcourse carbon foot print is a concept that exists in hollywood for people like you

Precisely. I think some of our leaders are incapable of taking lessons from how things have been done successfully elsewhere.

mbulela: My brother, save your breath. The barbarians have taken over. They used to be in the street corner,now they parade and conduct their affairs in the city centre.

Lasinoh: Thank you!
I must admit that the Igbo menace is going to be the MAJOR albatross in the quest for socio-economic and spirtitual salvation in Nigeria. It was so in the beginning and it will be so in the end. Battling a purely evil demonic force in the form of a 'discontent' spirit living in the Nigerian body is the ultimate curse. We are dealing with a disease that has no known cure, and spreading malignantly as Nigeria waits for either timely or untimely death.

I am not pessimistic about Nigeria. Every pessimist sees the glass as half-full instead of half empty. A most flattering perspective to bestow on a TOTALLY SPIRITALLY-DEFICIENT, LAWLESS AND CORRUPT ENTITY CALLED NIGERIA. Giving the power of prophesy. . .and I am not bluffing, I have totally written off Nigeria in it's entirety or as individual regions. The cancer has spread all over from Igboland. . . the spirit of discontent and distrust.

There was a reason why I asked you if you lived in Nigeria. You have never bothered to look deep into the NIGERIAN soul. You will understand why the situation is hopeless. Once again, this has absolutely nothing to do with religious beliefs. . . .pure metaphysics or the laws of evolution at worst.

99.9% of Nigerians can never understand that. That only adds humilating insult to festering injury. The reason I always state that Nigeria's problems are spiritual. Do not confuse this with 'religiousity'. . .

When you are able to look DEEP within the Nigerian soul. . . we can continue this discussion. YOU ARE NOT THERE YET.

Thanks for indulging me. It was an absolute pleasure. As always.

I kind of get your point. One of the things I always finding shocking and surreal is what Nigeria does to people. It is exactly like Nairaland in that respect. You will see well-educated, liberal, refined and erstwhile upright diasporan folks turn into lawless, corrupt, arrogant, uncouth and animal-like creatures once they are living in Nigeria.

One would have thought character should be basic to a man and the essence of his being to the extent he retains said character wherever he goes. The speed I have seen Nigeria change many diasporan , in a way, supports your assertion about the place. Of course the rude and insecure cretins will attack my observation but folks not into lying to themselves know the truth. I know many, many Nigerians who have moved back to Nigeria and the drastic transformation of some of them just makes me think "wow" !!!!

malc619: damn!!!!

He is totally right about the cowardly bastards ruining this forum with their malevolent and unwanted obsession with other forumers instead of attending to the topic.

Look , for example, at the antics of the cowardly and spineless twerp pretending to be a female called Mosun Ade. Below is the first response of this disgusting character to this thread. The cowardly "irritant", with awful spelling skills, deliberately chose to ignore the topic to begin insulting other forumers without provocation.

LOL. Watch him in two days time scrounging the internet for something else to cry about. Searching for loopholes in anything GEJ, accusing him of corruption and speaks too many words to make a single point.

When I then responded to such unsolicited rudeness against my person, below is the cowardly antics of this spineless buffoon that is in line with how this forum is full of cowards who go looking for trouble only to begin cowering in fear and holding up the white surrender flag when they get it. The only thing Mowire should have added is nauseating and cowardly Irritants. Someone who entered a thread to do nothing aside attack others is now stating hypocritically "face the subject matter". This is what these disgusting, cursed and cowardly troublemakers are about. They are indeed ruining Nairaland and I am glad others are beginning to speak against their cowardly and obsessive antics here.

Learn to face your front, contribute directly and solely in relation to the topic and stop the obsessive stalking of others like a cheap, used and rejected ashewo. Worthless accursed creature. Below, again, is a description of you and your fellow hateful and twisted 'market women'.

Those kind of folks have no capacity for feeling shame. Their worth, and limitation, ends with blind support or hatred of individuals. For those worthless folks, every issue is first inspected in relation to the characters involved and never according to the relevant ideas or principle of the discussion.

Those Folks are the IRRITANTS that're undermining the value of NL, & present us as a hopeless nation of unreliable people to the world

WENGERNOMICS: Help me and find Billonaiye and all those dat were supporting it oh.......Shame should make them disable their Nairaland account........Arguing nonesense!

Those kind of folks have no capacity for feeling shame. Their worth, and limitation, ends with blind support or hatred of individuals. For those worthless folks, every issue is first inspected in relation to the characters involved and never according to the relevant ideas or principle of the discussion. We all know what the Presidency intended to achieve when its official spokesman announced the cancellation of the Manitoba contract - and we all know what forced the pathetic u-turn. All in all, a victory for the many voices that rose to protest stoutly against government 419.

Mowire: Those Folks are the IRRITANTS that're undermining the value of NL, & present us as a hopeless nation of unreliable people to the world

100% correct. Petty, bitchy, menstruating and cat-fighting grown azz men who come here to obsess about the views and stance of other men instead of submitting their own independent viewpoint are indeed the worthless cretins ruining this forum. This issue is very straightforward and deolumike got it right when he highlighted how beholden to individual some folks are.

They immediately and prematurely backed Abati's announcement by arguing blindly that "due process" was indeed a valid reason for cancelling Manitoba's contract. Now same set of folks are here in hypocrisy when it was the protests everywhere that whipped a corrupt government back in line. They are indeed "irritants". Shameless ones at that and worthless to themselves and their country.

shymexx: But Africans will never agree with your assertion, rather, they'll curse and swear at you, for looking-down-on-them... I think living-in-denial, fake-bigman, blame-game, and inferiority complex are also part of the major reasons why Africa/Africans will continue to lag behind in the grand scheme of things in the globalised world..

Indeed. Despite being the perennial laggards that needs to humbly embrace honest introspection and sincere soul searching, so as to catch up with and compete well against others, Africans remain the most vacuously vainglorious creatures to walk the earth. They are totally obsessed with petty enmity and absolutely worthless/shallow considerations that only mire the continent in underdevelopment.

Of course Africans always resort to cursing and swearing because it is an automatic reaction for many of them. A bastardized value system, over-reliance on religion/deities, vestiges of slavery (in some cases) and the efficacy of "divide and conquer" tactics from cynical leaders sees them always happy to ignore what matters in preference for chasing shadows. This is why Africans are still the people most susceptible to dwelling on the notions others "hate" and "envy" them. Everything simplistically boils down to this for most Africans.

The end result is the petty model of societal existence that sees us focusing on trivia while ignoring what can better society for the benefit of the majority. Looking at young Africans, I am not encouraged at all. I see 'lambs to the slaughter' and a vital population group under-performing and not equipped to even match others let alone better them.

Olaolufred: Only GEJ and BPP can tell us.
But these Oyinbos will do their best to avoid their image being tarnished.
As for our Leaders, they can fight to protect an image that does not exist.

My concerns is that even in africa, they do laugh at us as citizens not to talk of Europe etal.

Yes. Solutions , for me, will arrive slowly because Nigerians are now obsessed with pettily fighting each other to a standstill even on commonsense issues where they should be in agreement. Abati , effectively speaking for the presidency as its official spokesperson, announced the cancellation of the Manitoba contract creating an avalanche of reactions, protests and treats of sanctions.

The behind-the-scene protests and treats have gained results. Now, as usual, the Government back pedals after attempting to behave fraudulently and some still attempt to spin that as a plus. Why will others not laugh at us regarding the theatrical and fraudulent ways we conduct ourselves? Did Manitoba experience this in Kenya? My guy, Nigerians really just don't appreciate how badly they have fallen because we continue, when the reverse is becoming the norm, to allow mediocrity to define our aspirations and exemplify what we are about.

redsun: No amount of education can transform a person without common sense.Today Africans are plagued with lack of common sense.

Not so much a common sense issue. More that the value system of Africans is now very compromised and bastardized. For a continent endowed with so much and producing absolutely nada, one would think our youths would be up and doing. Instead they are obsessed with Brazilian hair, Louboutin footwear, embroidered blazers and garish materialism.

This is why it is still very easy for non-Africans to come to our continent and make it big in a relatively short period of time. The values and orientations of those non-Africans are calibrated properly to make them see and acknowledge what is important while the endowed remain totally blind to their own gifts.

shymexx: Food for thought....

I personally think Africa is not producing critical young thinkers at a healthy or desired rate. This, sadly, means we will continue to lag behind others more dedicated to ideas while we remain obsessed with frivolities.

Blazay: I am only going by the information you are giving me, while I try to understand what you really mean from the kinds of threads you initiate on NL for the most part.

Yes, I assumed wrongly. . . No further questions really. I have all the answers I need. I read your writings all over NL and I just smile to myself.

But my perceptions are still valid.
Nigeria's problems and the main problems with NIGERIANS in general are of a supernatural nature.
Do you understand?

Have you ever stopped for one minute to find out why ALL the civil activists have suddenly become extinct in Nigeria and all over Africa for instance? Not unless you want to classify 'Dino Malaye' as one?

Well, I never attempt to question anyone's belief system and I am happy to concede that you are entitled to your own opinion. My take is that issues have nothing to do with the supernatural. I think the problem is that too many Nigerians , currently, are inadequately evolved in ways that matter to how they are governed or led. They simply do not have the sophistication or basic pragmatism to be citizens that demand and ensure the most basic essence of decent governance is delivered.

Rather, they are distracted with considerations and frivolities that appeal to emotions, sentiments and bias. This tends to detract from what matters and nullify efforts to really arrest poor leadership wherever it is seen. You can even see examples here with some foaming at the mouth about Igbo this ethnic that.

Most times, I get your witty perspective even if it is delivered with dark humor and sarcasm - and I fully understand your pessimism about Nigeria. After all, it is only a madman that does things the same way, over and over again, yet expects change.

mrrock: I never believed dearly the saying ''a society deserves the type of leadership it gets'' until today. Nigerians are fools ruled by fools!!. Otherwise, what we should be asking today is; What did Manitoba hydro do to correct the anormalies??. My friends, money have exchanged hands!. Someone have received a huge bribe money!.

Thank you. The fools would rather be here obsessing over what another forumer thinks or says instead of addressing pertinent issues concerning the entity we have in common - Nigeria. Those who come here worshiping others as gods and constantly seeking to validate their own existence here, through seeking the attention of others, are the worthless "fools" you talk about. What indeed has Manitoba done to correct the "due process" anomaly that has now seen it reinstated unconditionally?

[quote author=GARRI (x7)]I wonder how the topic changed from "BPP Certifies Manitoba Contract" to "Gbawe & his Political Affiliation".........
Folks should learn to address Issues and not focus on people...[/quote]Thank you my brother. Any one with a basic understanding of psychology knows what underpins the desperation of some to keep focusing on and talking about others. Especially as those they are obsessed with ignore them. Nonentities and losers will always seek to gain the attention of those they feel inferior to. The web gives these losers a platform. A wretched indications of what plagues Nigeria i.e the fact that we are cursed with many inadequate folks too focused on personalities and individuals to note what matters let alone be effective as those who lead or those who are led.

Olaolufred: I AM GLAD THIS CONTRACT TERMINATION PROOVED ABORTIVE.
I AM GLAD NIGERIANS ARE WINING ON THIS.
I AM NOT GLAD THAT OUR LEADERS KEEPS MAKING THE WORLD LAUGH AT OUR CITIZENS.
HENCE, NIGERIANS ARE ALWAYS PRESUMED A DANGEROUS ASSOCIATE EVEN WHEN SOME ARE PLAIN INNOCENTS.
OUR LEADERS SHOULD START TO ADD CHARACTER AND HONESTY TO LEADERSHIP.

Simple. We should learn to begin calling a spade a spade.

Blazay: Then you should be used to it by now.
Or are you just visiting for the holidays?
You sound like someone who is not resident in Nigeria.
Just for one reason. . . NIGERIANS HAVE BIGGER PROBLEMS THAN THAT WHICH YOU HAVE ELUCIDATED ON THIS THREAD.




Once again. . . you do not write like a typical resident Nigerian.
A stakeholder in any Nigerian affair is a final death-wish. Your choice of course.
They have been to weather-beaten and have either 'ABATIRIZED' or just plainly sleep in churches at the mercy of PASTORS. . .waiting to give up the ghost.

I await your transformation. . . after all you have written. I hope you take the path of least resistance. . . 'THE ABATI OPTION'! The only honorable path for any Nigerian. . . given the options available.

First, you assume wrongly "I have been away for too long" now I am not "resident". What next? The local government I live in? I must say I find your witty style interesting in this place full of drab individuals. Your "Abati option" actually made me smile. Fortunately, we don't all have the same values even if the common assumption is that we do.

Not everyone makes choices because of avarice or a crude readiness to sacrifice character at the alter of financial reward. Not all Nigerians are 'hungry', materialistic or simplistically shallow enough to the extent everything boils down to "mo cheddar". I know that may be a concept too difficult for some Nigerians to accept.

Blazay: You have been gone too long.
I suspected that much.
Very easy to type from the comfort of your home.
You actually have no idea the kind of 'rot' that has eaten into EVERY fabric of the Nigerian psyche.
My prayer for you is that your gods continue to shield you from such realities. . . .

You would not pick on Oduah and the aviation sector.
If the head of the fish is rotten. . . why blame the neck?
These stooges are only fulfilling the status quo.
Meer puppets on strings.
You can't blame them. . .someone is always available to do 'dirty jobs'. . . for the cheapest price.

Relax, and enjoy your life. Your children will learn to do the same.
Nigeria is a 'hopeless' course AND CAUSE.

I am in Nigeria , and other African nations, several times a year. In fact, the deficiencies of Nigeria becomes even more glaring after you have arrived in the country from other "developing" African Nations and not even developed Nations like the UK or USA. The example of the trolley is a case in point. Long flight, heavy bags. You just need a trolley to hand to chuck your baggages on. This is where some w*nker decides to be at his exploitative and inhumane best as a 'welcome' gift to visitors to our dear Nation.

Sadly, and contrary to what you think, I am only too aware of the rot everywhere. Whether it is the harrowing experience of trying to get a Nigerian Passport in Ikoyi, registering a business, clearing a car you have shipped in, having a semi-illiterate 419 scammer masquerading as a customs officers asking you to pay 'duty' to her personally on a boxed microwave you have already paid value added tax on and are allowed to use by law as a personal item or dealing with how virtually every single person at every point of our International airports is a glorified "oga, anything for me" beggar. If anything, the rot is too real for some of us who are actual stakeholders in Nigeria and always put in the position of having to note unpleasant things about our Nation not seen elsewhere. This is indeed why we speak.

Blazay: Please, with all due respects to Nigeria. . .
1. Define 'progress'.
2. Name one African country making 'progress'.
You have all the time in the world.
Thanks in advance.

The same 'rapacious' 419ners exist all over AFRICA. Nigeria just happens to be the 'Giant' of them all.
Simple!

We are more or less saying the same thing. Things still seen in Nigeria , as a staple part of our daily existence, are now dead/dying out elsewhere. That in itself, and without going into details, is indicative that others are making progress. Let me give you a small example pertaining to this topic. MMIA, you are officially charged money (different rate for assisted or non-assisted) to use a trolley for your baggage.

Any recent user of our "International airport" can confirm this. I even confronted the trolley renting agents about their practice and why they should be attempting to extort Nigerians over services provided free everywhere else in the world as an assistance to weary travellers. As usual they had nothing to say for themselves or for the crooked bosses who have asked them to collect this 419 levy.

texazzpete: This has nothing to do with disliking Jonathan, you thrice accursed m0r0n! Some of us want a better Nigeria for ourselves and our Children. It's you lazy, imbecilic freeloaders who sit in your mommy's house and do not pay taxes that have zero interest in a better Nigeria and reduce everything to tribal and ethnic issues.

Scum.

This is the bottom line. A report comes out that identifies another critical sector as failing. Yet all some paranoid delusional folks can see is "enemies", CPC, ACN and all other distracting jargon they deceive themselves with. I personally think many Nigerians suffer from Stockholm syndrome or at least a form of mental imbalance. Otherwise what warrants mention of a third Party in a matter concerning a government failing its people? I don't see this display from non-Nigerians.

Blazay: I wonder why this calls for any speculation.
THIS IS AFRICA. YOU ONLY STAY STAGNANT OR MOVE BACKWARDS!

Many African Nations are making progress. It is the "giant of Africa" , led by a pack of rapacious 419ners like Oduah, that is stagnant and moving backwards.

ballabriggs: So you announced that you had revoked and then you come back and say the contract has been "certified" when the trust has already been broken.

You can fool yourselves but I can assure you these guys will implement their own part of the deal halfheartedly.. They have now come to understand this is a government of fraudsters and brigands.

Had international pressure not been brought to bear on GEJ, then him and his crew of 419ners would have succeeded to bounce out a legitimate and competent Industry player to replace them with undeserving cronies. Is this not what happened in the fuel subsidy sector where only the FG and NNPC could issue marketers licence yet many fraudulent companies gained such licence only for the issuing authorities (the FG and NNPC) to now feign innocence when those undeserving crooks scammed the nation blind?.

Corruption pretending to fight corruption = Nollywood drama. The only difference in this case is that this goes beyond Nigeria. Many International stakeholders have simply made the GEJ government to see the unacceptable error of its ways that would have elicited punitive measures against Nigeria. As simple as that.

seanet01: Are you not ashamed? The same BPE that was pushing for the cancellation of the contract due to some irregularities is now forced by the Presidency to issue Certification to the same company the President accepted did not follow due process just because some foreign countries pressurized our President.
1. BPE declared that due process was not followed.
2. Mr. President accepted BPE's assertion and order his Media Assistant to issue a Press Release announcing the Cancellation of the Contract,
3. Mr. President said it live within the last 48 hours that the contract did not follow due process. Media chat.
4. Canada pressurized our President not to cancel the Contract.
5. Our President issues a directive to BPE to re-certify the company he has declared as having won a contract through the back door just within 48 hours after scolding them on National Television.
Fact is Our President is clueless. Simple.

Correct talk. You must however excuse the obsessed Nairaland cretins , full of unrequited frustration, by remembering the saying "Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people." - Eleanor Roosevelt. The clowns can stalk my every utterance here but GEJ goes from inept conduct to even greater acts of cluelessness. No surprise when he is mediocrity personified his entire political life.
