IS PENGASSAN AN ARM OF THE NIGER DELTA AVENGERS?

By Sharon Faliya Cham

For those of you who probably don't know the meaning of PENGASSAN, it is an acronym for Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria. By the privilege of working in Nigeria's oil and gas sector, they are a set of over-pampered and over-paid workers whose contribution to Nigeria's economic development is nothing different from the PDP's contribution to Nigeria's ruin.

We have always had PENGASSAN, yet Nigeria's oil refineries have not been working for close to 20 years; we have always had PENGASSAN, yet Nigeria has been suffering from the worst form of oil thefts in the world; we have always had PENGASSAN, yet we don't know the difference between oil thieves and oil workers, and we have always had PENGASSAN, yet we don't know those who teach pipeline vandals the routes of our pipelines and how to break the pipes! In short, it is extremely difficult to measure the usefulness of PENGASSAN to the country, but yet they are the best paid set of workers in Nigeria. National Assembly members may just be ahead of them because of their wardrobe and jeep allowances!

Out of the blues, PENGASSAN claims it has ordered its members to embark on an indefinite strike from Thursday, July 7, 2016, which will ultimately result in the disruption of petrol supplies from depots to the various fuel stations across the country. Mind you, the petrol is imported and not the result of any domestic production by members of PENGASSAN!

And why are they embarking on this strike? PENGASSAN says it is striking to compel government to speed up work on the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB); to stop the sacking of petroleum industry workers, and other blah blah blah reasons that are as puerile as any blah blah blah can be!

For the past 12 years or so, the PIB has been in the burner of Nigeria's parliament without any serious commitment from both the parliament and the executive branch to pass that bill into law but we have never ever seen nor heard PENGASSAN calling for, or going on strike to compel its passage. So, why now? And about sacking of oil workers, can PENGASSAN really determine how many workers any oil company - whether private or government owned - can maintain at any given time?

Without doubt, PENGASSAN must have been beneficiaries of the serious rot, thefts and corruption that have jointly wrecked Nigeria's oil industry over the years, and it is only natural that they will not be happy with the anti-corruption efforts of this administration in cleaning that sector. While their godfathers and godmothers have unleashed the Niger Delta Avengers to bomb-off our crude oil capacity and to stymie the war against corruption, PENGASSAN on the other hand have been unleashed to disrupt even the distribution of petroleum products imported from overseas without their productive input!

If not, why are they striking over puerile reasons?

The PMB revolution that survived "Boko Haram" shall survive this too!

God bless Nigeria!

Shukuakukobambi:
We've had 16 unbroken years of democracy since 1999 and Yoruba has been president for 8, kingmaker for the remaining 8 and now will be VP for at least 4. Even if Yoruba don't get anything in 2019, there's nothing to worry about. You crybabies should at least be pitied to get something

In this Administration, Yoruba is VP, SP, Dep Speaker, Rep majority leader, Senate Whip, Finance minister, works, power, housing minister, Solid minerals minister, Information minister, Health minister, CDS, FIRS chairman etc.

I'm not greedy. No be only Yoruba dey Nigeria. Let others have some appointments too.

For your information, the new IG is Nupe while the force spokesman is a Christian from Benue but your hate, bitterness and frustration will not allow you see it. Imagine you want to die ontop ordinary spokesman for police force?

Weep for your ancestors and their failures. Leave Yoruba out of your mourning party.

10 TYPES OF WAILERS

--I
PRINCEWILL CHIMEREZE

As we celebrate this Government's one year in office, It's also an Anniversary for the wailing wailers. For those who don't know, The wailing wailers are sore election losers who has continued to wallow in the pain of election loss thereby clouding their judgement of the present administration and making them attack the government unnecessarily. They were christened "Wailing Wailers" by Presidential aide; Femi Adeshina.

Before I list the types of wailers in Nigeria, I must point out that criticism is different from crying due to election loss or attacking a government without any cogent reason but just to oppose. Below are the types of Wailing Wailers in Nigeria.

1. THE ELECTION LOSERS: This ones can't forget the 2015 Presidential election which their hero lost. They believed their hero was unjustifiably removed and they must fight for him. They roam about the Online space shouting 'Jonathan is a hero' as if we dey drag "Mr. hero" with them. They defend him at every given opportunity and rain abuses on anyone who talks about the mindless looting that went down during his reign. This ones wants to make sure they show Nigerians how their decision to vote in Buhari was a Mistake. So they see nothing good about this present administration. They ask this administration to stop blaming the former government . If this administration don't blame them who will?

2. THOSE WHO HATE NORTH: this type of wailers do not see anything good in the government just because the President is from the northern part of the country. They litter our cyber space with such illiterate lines like 'Fear North' 'The problem of this country is North' etc. They jump on any ethnic issues to show how low they are. The solutions for this kind of people, i don't know. They cry victims at any given opportunity and accuse North of being the architect of their problem As if Namadi Sambo who ran with GEJ was not a northerner. Their only solution to the problem of the country is to divide it and let North be on their own. The eronously believe the North won't survive without the South. But they never cried for this When GEJ was in power. Wail on wailers. Waiiiilllllllllll!!! .

3. RELIGIOUS BIGOTS: This ones are the most pathetic, senseless, and bunch of illiterates. This ones started during the build up to the presidential election. They continued till this day. To them this administration wants to Islamize Nigeria. They litter the online space with nonsense like, "The president wants to Islamize Nigeria" They hate the President cos he is a Muslim but will support Dasuki and Saraki. And you begin to wonder what remedy will be best to cure them. But unfortunately none. Their leaders are Femi Faani Kayode, Fayose etc. May God help them.

4. IPOB MEMBERS: This group have no direction. They remembered they need a country because the last administration was booted out. They sow seeds of discord and hatred in anyone they come across. They have created different online platform to deceive themselves about an imaginary country. This online platform only spread lies and hate messages about APC and Buhari. And you begin to wonder is it by spreading lies about Buhari and APC that you will actualize your struggle? This ones insult you when you don't agree with them or when people like me oppose them from involving the South south from their misery. Well, this group should continue at least an Imaginary Russian President holding their flag has backed them.

5. THE ETHNIC BIGOTS: This ones are similar to the Religious bigots. Their problem is that their region is not the ones at the Zenith of Nigerian leadership. They blame other regions for their woes as if those regions also elected their leaders for them. They only look out for religious coloration in any issue. Any appointment, they will scrutinize it as if it's their exam note or Textbook to find out how many Northerners and southerners are in it. They DOUBTED chibok girls kidnap but believed Fulani herdsmen massacre in Agatu. To them anyone from their region in this Present Government is a sell out, traitor and an ''efulefu'' as my people will say. How low can a people get? Their leader is FFK, a man who insulted them before. Well this group, their case is With Tb Joshua.

6. THE ONES THAT NO LONGER SEE GOVERNMENT MONEY: This ones, when i see them i rub salt on their injury. Their anger is that stolen money from the destructive party the PDP is no longer coming. The border was opened for them to import every irrelevant thing to the country and now its been closed. To them economy is moving as long as they make money even in "Unfriendly economic" way. They litter different blogosphere with such illiterate lines as 'Bring back our corruption' 'There was corruption and bag of Pure water was bla bla bla and one begins to wonder where this people crept out from. They are the anti corruption fight foot soldiers. They have benefited so much from share the money attitude and now its like their life is going to be paused by the "New Sheriff in town" .This ones their wailing will be too long to measure because tougher economic decisions will be made for a better Nigeria.

7. THE ONES THAT JUST HATE APC: This ones link everything that happens to them to the APC. They scream "Government of lies". "What do you expect"? This Government gave the former a robust and sound Opposition that every Nigerian saw the Need for them to go. To this ones, if APC was not formed they would have still remain in power. They litter our online space with such lines as "A Party built on lies" "A party of deceit". And when you ask them how truthful their PDP was, they become Dumb. They believed APC used propaganda to get the presidency and they must revenge it. By calling APC names? They should continue.

8. THOSE WHO JUST WAIL: This ones are just like those Girls who had no option but to watch football match with their boyfriend and just have to support his club whether they know what the game is all about or not. They just join to wail maybe for 'likes' from fellow online users or just not to be seen as deviating from supporting their family members, ethnic group or friends. This ones retweet others, like their posts and also fearfully insult the government without any reason or direction. Well, this ones will realise themselves one day. I use to behave this way before i decided be well grounded in economic, political and other National issues.

9. THE ONES THAT HATE BUHARI: This ones will remind you how he never allowed them to come out of their mother's womb during Buhari's first stint at the nation's top job in 1983. How he jailed their family for running drugs, how he hate other tribes and all other unsubstantiated issues. They can't believe he won the election after their campaign of hate and calumny. They are the ones who keep asking for certificate of the President till date. Him go bring the certificate una hear? Wetin una wan usam do? Make una no take una life do better thing. Awon omo rada rada.

10. THE ONES THAT WILL INSULT THIS WRITER: This ones are just helpless. They think insulting those who oppose their unexamined stance on this government will increase their bank Account or Popularity. They wonder why people like Soyinka, Falana, Bakare, ezekwesili, other known vocal activist are not speaking out against this present government. And you begin to wonder what should they speak against in one year? And considering our present economic problems. They should join them in calling the President Dullard? Well, this writer welcomes insults at least it makes me know how ill trained some people in this age are and am ever ready to put them where they belong.

Which of the wailers are you or which one do you know? Use the comments box to tell me about it or disagree with what I 've written above. You can share and invite your friends to come and tell me what I don't know.

The ways and manners most youths of this country think is heart broken. They always support evil but when it backfires they will start shifting blame on a particular group. This old is trying to save the future for the younger ones and unborn generations from the hands of thieves we called politicians but all he gets is name calling instead of our supports.

APPARENTLY, THERE IS NO TRIBALISM WHEN IT COMES TO 'SHARING' and 'ALLOCATING' OIL WELLS! - I have always found it very funny that while it is often convenient for many of our leaders to play the tribalism card to suit their selfish political ambitions, when it comes down to sharing or looting or allocating natural resources, the fact is that the elite class is just one monolithic entity spanning east, west , north and south.

As the following list of owners of oil fields in nigeria clearly show, the oil cabal is indeed one with FEDERAL CHARACTER which means the JOKE is on the idiots who are feeding into embers of tribalism when the fact is that the AVERAGE NIGERIAN has no problems with his brother or sister from any part of the country. It is the irresponsible leaders that fan it and undortunately many on social media are too dense to read between the lines and keep shouting tribalism when their leader tells them so:

Here is the list and it is very revealing....

I love this post by Ahmed Musa Husaini so much that i have to share it. Abridged a bit though, to encourage more readership:

"It is easy to predict the future of this country if you follow discussions on social media. I don't know when and how we ended up with a generation of religious bigots and ethnic chauvinists masquerading as politically active, yet utterly misinformed citizens.

"Whenever religion or ethnicity is mentioned, common sense and logical reasoning are suspended. People no longer think, see or comprehend. Nigerians are not interested in the substance of one's claims or submissions, rather; in the identity of the individual making it.

"Under one Nigeria, a Christian has no right to intervene in a Muslim discourse and a Muslim has no right to intervene in Christian discussions. A northerner has no right to talk about southern problems and a southerner has no right to speak on northern problems. The unwritten rule is: you have the right to speak the truth only about your own, not others.

"We make more efforts promoting division than we make towards unity. We are only good at widening the chasm of distrust and disunity beyond what our collective national unity can withstand.

"But neither our intolerance nor our bigotry are able to solve the problems that inexorably bedevil us: poverty, unemployment, poor infrastructure, insecurity, exploitation and lack of opportunities that render us backward, undeveloped and without some dignity.

"By the time we succeed in balkanising this country into the ethnic and sectarian Bantustans that we envisage, how are we going to disarm the army of ethno-religious hatemongers that we created within our midst?

"Human diversity is humanity's greatest weakness and strength. Those who harness it prosper, those who squander it perish. The rise and fall of empires, civilizations and great nation-states is replete with such case studies.

"In short: there is a silent yet fierce struggle for the future of this country, and we are losing it for the simple reason of our own disunity and self-interest".

When a person is jaundiced, myopic and blinded with sentiment of religion and tribal bigot, how can they see or reason?

I normally don't bother, replying is to dignify a .....

The price of dollar remains the official cbn price for qualified bonafide transactions. U can apply for USD and other foreign currencies legally via CBN. Any other way, d sale of dollar or its purchase is prohibited by law. So black outlawed market rates can be as high as N1000 for those interested in breaking the law. How can we be apprehensive about the price of a commodity whose market had been outlawed. No more black market.

Last time I checked a lot of importable scarce items are still on that list of CBN Forex availability. Why don't you folks concentrate on how to legally trade within d ambits of the law than start ranting about imperfections in an outlawed set up. The rate a dollar trades is still the responsibility of the Apex bank and is still at d same N198/$. The rate a dollar is sold in the illegal black market today is unquantifiable because this scarce commodity is no longer supported by injections of funds at weekly intervals called interventions........

The BDCs just got sacked and their N17bn caution deposit given back to them. The message here is simple: No more callous trade on the Forex market. No more availability of Forex to buy junks abroad. No more funds to buy stuff we can produce locally abroad. No more funds to send corrupt loots abroad. No more subsidized funds to service luxuries driven by greed and vanity upon vanity.

The consequence of this strangulation and scarcity of the dollar is first and foremost the stimulation of exports. We would also be forced to buy our own made in Nigeria goods. This would lead to prosperity because we will be making Nigerian entrepreneurs rich in Nigeria. Kudos to the FGN for starting d new project called "500 export startups". Kudos again to the FGN for all the support in agricultural production.

Now it is left to us to embrace this Change for real!!!!!

So much bitterness and hate..

What do you say when here you have people saying worse because of tribal or religious difference?

You must be deceiving yourself to think that the president is saying what is obvious to the world already, we need to be told the truth by our leaders to Change our ways ...

RIP Brother

I have not seen any notthern group coming out to support him, if only he was ibo we for no hear word on how he is been prosecuted because of his tribe.

Please wake up

9jatriot:
You wish, they will come up with something before morning. I can wager a bet on that. Metuh probably will do it himself or Fayose may decide to relieve Metuh of that honor.

I also wont be surprise if the protection seeker writes an epistle with a catching heading to display ignorance and mislead the already misled.

DEAR BROTHERS, I GOT THIS FROM A BROTHER 'S POST.PLS READ WITH AN OPEN MIND:
informal Census was conducted by an Igbo Organization. The Group discovered that there are Twenty Million Igbos living in Northern Nigeria, out of which Sixteen Million are permanently resident and Four Million are Economic Migrants moving on seasonal basis. In addition, they found out that there are Four Million Northerners living in Igbo Land, out of which Two Million are permanent residents and the remaining Two Million are Economic Migrants switching on seasonal basis. What is intriguing was that the entire Four Million Northerners living in Igbo land are uneducated menial laborers and petty traders viz watchmen, Cattle attendants in abattoirs, Cobblers etc. Consternatingly, there was a single account of a Tiv Man, a Christian, from Benue who built a Petrol Station along Enugu bye-pass in Enugu State, however, on the day of commissioning the indigenes discovered that the Station belonged to a Northerner and insisted vehemently by interdicting its operations , that the said Station must be sold to an Igbo Indigene before it would be allowed to operate. Today, throughout Nigeria, it is only in Igbo Land that no other Nigerian is allowed to gain admission into their Universities, Employment or Political appointments in their domains. Yet, in the North and the South West there are States that have appointed Igbos as Commissioners and Advisers eg Lagos, Kano, Yobe, Borno etc. As big as the Onitsha International Market is, no other tribe is allowed from Yoruba land or the North to have even a corner shop, yet they are in all Markets across the North and South West without any hinderance. Anyim Pius Anyim, is the only SGF in Nigerian History that has 100% Igbos as support Staff in his Office. Is he an SGF for Nigeria or Biafra? Igbos should learn to tolerate others!!! And shut their bloody mouth, I vote they should get their Biafran country and leave our markets, Lands and all for us "the almajiris" w are damn tired of their imaturity and lack of respect for their leaders & elders.

Frankly speaking the PDP has become a party that is beyond redemption and the removal of Tukur cannot change that. I say this because no sensible person will go back to a stinking carcass simply because the head of the dead animal has been cut off and thrown away. A carcass remains a carcass whether you cut off it's head, legs or any other part of it's body or not. Whichever way, it remains as dead as a dodo and it only awaits a formal burial. The truth is that the vultures are already feeding fat on the rotting and decaying cadavar of the PDP and whether anyone likes to hear it or not the truth is that that party can never be whole again. As I said 8 months ago it is a party that has been rejected by God and whose leaders are suffering God's judgement for their unjust, gluttonous, wicked, foul and evil ways.

sukkot:
we are not the ones agitating for secession because yoruba leaders are corrupt. you know what, sometimes people cannot see the stupidity of their ways unless a mirror is put to their face so i will help you out. >> yoruba leaders are very corrupt and eat all the allocation to yoruba land from the federal government and because of this, yoruba people start agitating for separation from nigeria because our land is undeveloped. doesnt that sound crazy to you ? shouldnt we be fighting our thieving yoruba leaders instead ?
