Politics › Re: Understanding The PIB (Petroleum Industry Bill) by jpphilips(m):
@ jarus

it is disheartening that you carefully outlined the rosy prospects of the PIB but fail to include any implementation framework for those anticipated roses to really turn red.
how i wish i was still in the kindergarten where we once believed that goats can fly.

you claim that the bill seek to achieve this

" • Create a conducive business
environment for petroleum
operations"
my question is how?

the PIB is clear on areas of increased taxation for producing companies which in your euphoria we expect our brothers to join that league soon.
my question is:

how does increased taxation achieve your quote above?

that phrase above is too vague to be taken seriously, tell us in clear terms how the PIB wish to achieve that quote.

you said and i quote

" Enhance exploitation and
exploration of petroleum resources in
Nigeria for the benefit of Nigerians"
this is another $¡lly and vague statement

which laws in the PIB will achieve the above??

the last time i checked, Nigerians especially the Niger deltans have been at the receiving end of pains, agony and environmental degradation precipitated by oil exploration, i have not seen any part of the PIB that addressed that or have you seen?

which agency or MDA has the PIB empowered to handle that?

i was not surprised when you carefully skipped the flaring part of the PIB, where it stated that it will encourage Zero flaring with a caveat that madueke will have the authority to issue renewable flaring permits.

how does that solve the green house issues associated with flaring? or another madueke's gimmick for creating "choppings" for her exalted office. lemme ask you, how much do you think madueke will charge through the backdoor for flaring permits?? your guess is as good as mine.

we cannot be bamboozled that the so called PIB is in the interest of Nigerians.

I have it on good authority to state here that 95% of indigenous oil and gas workers have no single insurance welfare.

we are talking about men and women who kiss their loved ones goodbye on a daily basis to face one of the riskiest activity in the history of mankind yet their ignoble employers deem it unfit to insure their lives.

again i ask, where does the PIB address that?

if an insurance policy does not mean well for Nigerians in the oil industry, i wonder what does.
in case you forgot, the Americans rated oil and gas exploration as the 8th riskiest job in the world which over the years has defined a noble welfare package for her citizens in that field.

let me ask you again, where in the PIB does the Nigerian govt. peg a living wage for oil and gas workers in lieu of their occupational hazard?

if all these are not in place, how did jarus come to the sane conclusion that the PIB addressed the interest of Nigerians?

one may argue in ignorance that my concerns above are basically the duty of the union but i stand to be corrected that neither NUPENG nor PENGASSN has a legal shot if they were to go to court in the absence of fundamental laws.

what leverage does an oil and gas employee have if he or she institutes a court action against an employer who has failed in the above regard?

let me reiterate for the umpteenth time that oil and gas operations are not like teaching, banking or other conventional jobs, it a career where faith dangles life and death before anyone who is actively involved. from the terrain,non adiabatic conditions,logistics, climate, flammability of hydrocarbons to mention a few.

for the PIB to conveniently ignore those lucid but unequivocal challenges that average Nigerians face in the oil industry is an insult to people who live through it and a reflection of the incompetence madueke is made of.

which part of the PIB addressed the use of out dated and decommissioned vessels in our oil fields?


you said again and i quote

" Optimize domestic gas supplies,
especially for power generation and
industrial development"
this part is the most laughable. how i wish you read further to appreciate madueke's ingenuity.
Madueke told Nigerians that her gas solution is a DSO from MNC's.

rightly put, madueke wants to go begging for gas from multinational companies.
no doubt the PIB outlined modalities of expansion for NGC (Nigerian gas company),
my question is this; what has Ngc achieved for over a decade of operation?

the case before the senate instituted by the delta state elders has spoken volume of the modalities of acquisition madueke has in mind for both NGC and NPDC.

who are the so called partners, financiers, jv operators of the much touted marginal fields? lemme guess, politicians? lipsrsealed.

Mr jarus, we know the real beneficiaries of the PIB the Nigerian people are far from it.

back to the issue of gas, in the last decade, SHELL our minority jv partner has been investing heavily in gas gathering projects, Chevron (another minority jv partner) has not relented because the last time i checked their EGTL project has gotten to phase 3b.

every sane mind knows that gas is the future from increasing gas prices to local demand viz power plants, madueke's PIB is still solving Nigeria's gas crises with her archaic DSO.

jarus please help me ask madueke to mention any sane country with gas deposit as much as Nigeria that is practicing her DSO model?

is it not commonsensical for madueke to come out with a gas gathering blueprint to harness our abundant gas resources like our jv partners are doing? this gas we are flaring to the tune of $2.3b annually.

the last time she begged for refineries and now gas and jarus is taking madueke serious.

jeak123: @OP, it's quite unfortunate that this happened to you. Anyone of us could have made the same mistake under the circumstance. She did what she did cos of the love she has for the guy. The first thing you need to do now is to discontinue with that relationship with your boss. Go and seek out your friend and try explaining things to him. if this fails, move on with your life. you will still meet someone nice. Don't quit your job unless your boss becomes unmanageable. Good luck to u.

it takes a morally bankrupt degenerate to commercialize her repro.

well you guessed wrong. I take a bath immmediately when im done with the toilet. so Im extra clean! cool

and dont tell me that you take a bath outside in public, after using toilet paper. dont lie.

toilet paper is wasteful since it kills trees and causes deforestation and its filthy.[/quote]you sound horrible, i ve stopped people like you using my toilet in the office.
you claim you wash, with which basin?? same toilet seat? dis guy is a non living thing.
after washing on the toilet seat you leave it brown with pebbles of brown shit,
do you wash the toilet seat and the ceramic body with your hand also??
ironically, this $illy practice is so common in Nigeria, i could rem. asking my room mate in the university why there are containers in the toilet? he just smiled
i later discovered why the toilet seat is always brown,

Kindly research and solve the battery drain issue with the HSDPA,HSUPA,AMOLED AND TFT TECHNOLOGIES.

kobikwelu: First of all, What made RIM famous is not BBM, buts its Push Email capabilities..It had the best and most secure platform to implement work email servers...

but in emerging markets, you could say BBM is the major reason why Blackberry phones became no1
Android push email is faster than BB's by a few seconds on the same network, i think its about the hardware superiority (high end android) or the fact that BBM mails hit a proxy server first.

fork adict: On 1), I agree with you 100000000000%
On 2), I beg to differ. That is the more reason why he should have sacked the useless governors
you forgot that even the state commissioner of police takes orders from the IGP, the FG is seeing the insurgency as mostly their problem, no doubt they may be fuelled via state influence but i will rather hear the news first than jump into conclusions.

we have not heared that state govs have interfered in any millitary operation in the north, even thedore orji was asleep the day osisikankwu (the kidnap kingpin) was arrested.

it was an all fed operation. all orders came from Abuja according to the guys who were part of it, even the soldiers didnt even know who they were after till the last minute.

one vital point most Nigerians skip is the fact that all the apparatchick of security is not under state command.

where was Amaechi when the feds sealed off obiakpor LGA??

have you ever heard that Amaechi has ever given orders to major sajir musa?? yet he is commanding operation pulo shield and ops flush out under his nose.

it is still politically correct to let the politicians be.

the only part i feel is childish is going public with it, since it is not a total SOE there was no point announcing it.

the Governor should just feel the change in command structure while the insurgents feel the heat,
reason is that should BH strike just 2wice and decisively, everyone will nurse the feeling it has failed on arrival.

the George bush speech is ridiculous, Abati and his crew has really run out of ideas.

Mccullum: Why mr president always lack full boldness to some critical decision for interest of this Nigerian State, this type state of emergency is very strange to me, though it is good but why it did not affected the governors of those states, is president trying to placate them? because the state emergency of US in 1863 when Abraham Lincon was the US president it affected all governors of the Southern States that rebelled against the union, while Obasanjo all did exactly like that during his era. we need bold president & not coward.. may God help our GEJ.
1863 vs 2013, how are we sure you are not a ghosthuh

bobolic: Emergency rule will not work so long as the governors and assembly members continue if office. It will only result in clashes between the armed forces and this class of politicians.Why use half of the powers when you have the powers to arrest even the governors during emergency rule.
did you see where he said that they will operate within "their" rules of engagement? you may argue that it absolves the use of maximum force and excessive brutality, that is a political statement.

the rules of engagement is designed by the top millitary command and it includes chain of command and operational hierarchy .

what bro jo has succeded in doing is stripping the governor his state commander in chief status which is politically correct.
if he is not the commander in chief, he cannot control the millitary.

but he can sit and chop money while the feds roll out the battle.
gonna be bloody brother, the Nigerian army is brutal #feeling sorry for boko boys#

HenryQuest: I love the speech. For those that criticize GEJ, How have you been able to manage your family not to talk of managing a difficult entity as Nigeria? My opinion here is that Nigeria's problem is far more from GEJ but quite spiritual and difficult. Don't forget that colonial politics kept us where we are. Safe!
to rule Nigeria is not by force kindly retire to your bed with your semi-innate opinion.

Why shy away from d fact dat they are part of the problem either by action or inaction. Suspend them and they will come around and show u where the skeletons are in desparation to return to their posts.

Yes, pls. Let someone explain howw this solves anything! Nice trite sspeech tho
the political implication is one that he still needs the blessing of northern politicians come 2015 that he will not get if he removes them from office albeit necessary.
the second arguement goes thus; the boko crisis is way beyond the FG let alone the state who appears to be helpless in that regard.

mu2sa2: Gradually, nigeria is slipping into dictatroship. Under a State of emergency the rule of law is suspended. Today f.ools are saying declare it in borno, yobe, nasarawa,plateau. What is happening in those states now can happen anywhere else in this country - how many police men have been killed by criminals in other places in these past months? Why did they not call for state of emergency there.Politicians have busied themselves stealing and f.ools are talking crap. The so-called state of emergency will achieve nothing as the ones daclared before.
Let's not forget that police men are themselves victims of the system under which they operate, a system that denies them proper training and modern equipment - that's why 100 would be despatched in open vans to arrest a 77-year old man.
and to believe that amongst 93 dispatched, 47 were slain by a rag tag millitia, obviously, i can protect myself better than the NPF,
can someone pls tell me the attack happened in a training ground.

Politics › Re: El-Rufai’s Book Is An Intellectual Fraud - Soludo by jpphilips(m): 9:33am On May 09, 2013
goon: I have watched from afar off how Nigerians are just singing praises for Soludo as if being educated makes u unable to lie or be corrupt. You guys are responding as if Soludo is intellectually better and more reasonable than El-Rufai. I expected Nigerians after reading Soludo's powerful C.V to take a look at his opponent's(in this case) own rather than singing dull praises for Soludo as if he is the first to make a first class. For the of you who may not know. El-rufai is also a scholar and had he opted for acadamics rather than civil service, he would have equalled or surpassed Soludo's academic achievements.Just for your knowledge this is a brief view of his own modest C.V
Nasir el-Rufai was born in Daudawa of the Faskari Local Government Area in the northern state of Katsina. He was the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and member of the Federal Executive Council, the highest decision making body in Nigeria from 2003 – 2007. He attended various academic and professional programmes at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria, University of London, Harvard Business School, Arthur D. Little School of Management in Massachusetts, Georgetown University School of Foreign Services in Washington, D.C. and the John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University. He holds a first class honours degree in Quantity Surveying (1980), a Masters Degree in Business Administration (1984), a Postgraduate Diploma in Computer Science (1985), a Bachelor of Laws(second class upper) from Harvard University (2008), Master of Public Administration (2009), and has attended several programs on Privatization and Leadership. He established and ran what became a successful consulting practice, el-Rufai & Partners, between 1982 and 1998. He also held management positions with two international telecommunications companies, AT&T Network Systems International BV and Motorola, Inc. In October 2001, he was conferred a national honour, OFR (Officer of the Order of the Federal Republic of Nigeria) by the Federal Government of Nigeria while serving as the director general of the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE) and the secretary of the National Council of Privatisation where he spearheaded the privatisation of many government owned companies. He is happily married with children. In 2005, he was conferred D.Sc (honoris causa) by the University of Abuja, Nigeria.
Tribalism and sentiments are killing Nigerians.
This is not about academic superiority, tell us one land mark achievement of Rufai, in both civil service (BPE), as a minister, and also as a public figure, let us juxtapose it with soludos, that El rufai's CV is a clinche, i wont even hire someone with that CV because it is bereft of any cogent landmark that can be felt, for someone who spent some time in the highest decision making body in the country.

it is only a village man that sees,demolition of houses as an achievement
