 Politics › Re: Mass Revolt Looms In Nigeria, Obasanjo Warns by jpphilips(m): 10:37am On Dec 07, 2011 |
Fellow Nigerians Why are we not seeing the big picture in this revolution sh1t? Should there be a revolution in Nigeria for instance who do you think NATO will support? Ans: the Nigerian Govt Do you know y? Because the Govt has guaranteed thier oil interest. @ this verge, you must understand that Nato is not fighting a noble cause but that smeared of interest let alone now USA is broke as hell. All it takes is to approach the FG who will increase their stake in oil and you guys will be termed ''rebels'' once that happens a fictious peace deal with be put forward which the people will reject and after then Armaggedon will ensue. They can fight for the govt by proxy by supplying sophisticated arms to them and intelligence support while our NA bruts will finish you off The Americans are already demanding for 15 percent of libya's oil, NATO is not a charity organisation. We must Thread with caution if we want anything good to come out of this The way out is to sensitize the military, there must be mutiny where a reasonable size will be for the people anything short of that is suicide. You are better off hanging on a ceiling fan in the comfort of your room to attempting a civil war with an American backed military and media propaganda I HAVE SPOKEN |

Frankly if the Nigerian army were to identify and deal with a treat completely not where 99% percent is supposedly innocent and neutral.Just 0.5 percent is rebellious and fighting within the midst of the 99percent.Which makes it difficult,You will be shocked at the devastating carnage they would deliver. U simply love to celebrate incompetence, bro, we will wait till there is an all out assault before we acknowledge their ineptitude abi? you are a joke the army has divisions which trains and specializes in different warfare scenarios. if the responsible division fails then, failure is failure. Liberia and sierra-leone know better when they met the Nigerian armed forces.In the case of freetown don't forget they crushed an army under John coroma with easy.More armed and far organized than the MEND or BH. Today if the MEND or BH guys were to confront them openly and hold an area as there territory with weapons free orders to the Military,guys na Odi go happen instantly.Boys go enter water drown than confront a ruthless drunk/high advancing Nigerian Army. another justification for total incompetence, i have read a witness testimony from Freetown who spoke extensively on the NA's successes all he emphasized was they have large numbers just kill as much as you can they wont finish; is it not what fela calls Zombie? you seriously want to compare MEND with those sierra leonean child soldiers? you are funny if children could hold them to ransom for 8yrs then i wonder what MEND could have done? see the people that disgraced us in Liberia; this group is called the West side boys they are the reason ECOMOG advance and retreat in Freetown [url=http://www.google.com.ng/imgres?q=pictures+The+child+soldiers+of+sierra+leone&hl=en&client=firefox-a&sa=X&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&biw=1366&bih=540&tbm=isch&prmd=imvns&tbnid=vFJcj1ppYBjbrM:&imgrefurl=http://childsoldiers123.wikispaces.com/Sierra%2BLeone&docid=f5mgn2jzojoUzM&imgurl=http://childsoldiers123.wikispaces.com/file/view/child_soldiers_squad_Sierra_Leone.jpg/146577999/child_soldiers_squad_Sierra_Leone.jpg&w=690&h=454&ei=GbbUTqD0OsaP8gPbgpifAg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=423&vpy=131&dur=2788&hovh=182&hovw=277&tx=132&ty=202&sig=118433093368293234861&page=1&tbnh=86&tbnw=127&start=0&ndsp=28&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0]http://www.google.com.ng/imgres?q=pictures+The+child+soldiers+of+sierra+leone&hl=en&client=firefox-a&sa=X&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&biw=1366&bih=540&tbm=isch&prmd=imvns&tbnid=vFJcj1ppYBjbrM:&imgrefurl=http://childsoldiers123.wikispaces.com/Sierra%2BLeone&docid=f5mgn2jzojoUzM&imgurl=http://childsoldiers123.wikispaces.com/file/view/child_soldiers_squad_Sierra_Leone.jpg/146577999/child_soldiers_squad_Sierra_Leone.jpg&w=690&h=454&ei=GbbUTqD0OsaP8gPbgpifAg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=423&vpy=131&dur=2788&hovh=182&hovw=277&tx=132&ty=202&sig=118433093368293234861&page=1&tbnh=86&tbnw=127&start=0&ndsp=28&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0 [/url] overall commander was mere 22yrs old foday kallay see [url=http://www.google.com.ng/imgres?q=The+sierra+leonean+west+side+boys&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=ee1&sa=X&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&biw=1366&bih=575&tbm=isch&prmd=imvns&tbnid=OkzU45ztmVrqGM:&imgrefurl=http://www.awoko.org/2009/04/30/westside-boys-commander-6-others-freed/&docid=dANc7jl7AV8RyM&imgurl=http://awoko.org/uploads/images/Westside%252520Boys.jpg&w=608&h=400&ei=E7nUTtPgDIrZ0QHWsZTXAQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=379&vpy=205&dur=3961&hovh=182&hovw=277&tx=53&ty=201&sig=118433093368293234861&page=1&tbnh=148&tbnw=197&start=0&ndsp=13&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0]http://www.google.com.ng/imgres?q=The+sierra+leonean+west+side+boys&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=ee1&sa=X&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&biw=1366&bih=575&tbm=isch&prmd=imvns&tbnid=OkzU45ztmVrqGM:&imgrefurl=http://www.awoko.org/2009/04/30/westside-boys-commander-6-others-freed/&docid=dANc7jl7AV8RyM&imgurl=http://awoko.org/uploads/images/Westside%252520Boys.jpg&w=608&h=400&ei=E7nUTtPgDIrZ0QHWsZTXAQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=379&vpy=205&dur=3961&hovh=182&hovw=277&tx=53&ty=201&sig=118433093368293234861&page=1&tbnh=148&tbnw=197&start=0&ndsp=13&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0 [/url] Lets say BH or MEND choose a state and say this is my area and pose a security treat,even with the weapons displayed and more they will know where they 4UQ up!!!

I strongly suggest you READ my previous again. Didn't I mention the MB-332s and the alpha jets? And it's quite funny you called the transport planes junks. You do know that the USAF, USMC', USN, and most western nations use the C-130 and G-333 (C-27 Spartan), don't you? Of course, i read your post carefully before responding to it, no one is in doubt whether the USA is using the c-130 or not but the last time i checked they use the C 130-j aka super Hercules which is far more sophisticated than those barrow the NA is using. part of the innovation is the fact that the Super Hercules can utilize short runways in landing and taking off which your NA truck (C-130) cannot and a whole lot, i also think that small navy carriers can transport the modern Hercules doubt if it is applicable to NA's and please let the name not deceive you, Volkswagen beetle and volkswagen Toureg no be mate simply because na volkswagen make am. furthermore my emphasis on calling them junks was not to undermine their military importance but simply because i don't see how relevant it is in the ND crisis. i purposely ignored your MB 322s because they were very few about 2 or so in the delta which some senior officers were guarding themselves with as a result not all of them saw combat. Yes, I did mention the NAVY's Augusta 109s, but if you had read my previous posts, you would've seen that I placed more emphasis of the on NAF's heavily armed and armoured Mi-35 attack helicopters. Oh btw, I see you mentioned the AH-64 Apache helicopter, right? Without a doubt, it has far more on-board computers, and like every other aircraft has redundant systems, increasing its survivability in battle. But you do know that it spends more time in the maintenance shed than in the air, right? Even the USMC Cobra Attack helo is rated above the Apache and even the Longbow. I suggest you spend far less time on Ace Combat video games and do a lil more research. well, since you referenced the fact that AH-64 Apache was the Man for the job and you brought Augusta 109 to the delta, guess you never wanted to use them in the first place. So you now understand why i referred to it as Lunch boxes lol With respect to the Otokar Kobras, VBLs, and Steyr, you do know that military Ops against the militants were not restricted to the swamps? although the good ole Bottom whopping the received in 2007 in PH forced them to scurry back to the swamps like scared rats. And btw, gunboats arrived in 2010?! Dude, really?! And what do you think the army and navy gunboats were armed with? Pea shooters? ok! i will continue responding to your post cos you ve got some humor, the last time i checked apart from a few on-land offensives at buguma and Abonnema water fronts and perhaps a few zone in warri, i dont see how your statement above is correct. Most of the militant strong camps were in the creeks, talk about Ateke's alakiri camp and so many others of its like even in BY. now justify mobilizing your cherished Otokar and cobras to green zones while the red zones are left to fend for itself. i made mention of the 250 & 300hp Honda engine Gun boat and i said it came last year to the creek unless you have a counter proof no need to argue, the Gun boat you had abinitio are easily hijacked from the military because it is poorly streamlined and maneuverability is very poor brother if you have ever seen these men in combat you will feel sorry for the NA, I referenced the Honda cos immediately it arrived outside the number it came which is commendable, it equally proved efficient, maneuvering was OK and those 800hp engines were no joke for the chase. trust me it did a good job except that it came very late when the whole action was over. One last thing, you did look down on the fire arm used by the army I.e the good ole AK-47. Yes, the rifle isn't as cool looking as the M-16 or M-4 carbine with Eotech scopes and all that. But I wonder why the AK-47 is still ranked the best rifle in world? Hmmmmm. Maybe its because it is far more reliable than your M-4 that jams all the time. Or maybe it fires the larger 7.62mm bullet compared to the smaller 5.56mm, thus causing far more damage. Dunno. guess the above wasn't for me because we already have pics above of what the "boys" hand held riffles are. picture speaks louder than a billion words  |

[b] You still did not answer the question. You mentioned a domestic supply obligation (DSO) but you failed to mention at what price this supply obligation is to be fulfilled. Apparently, you didn’t understand that the nation’s national budget is premised on the total amount of crude produced per day at a price benchmark fixed by the senate (which is always less than global spot prices)[/b] You just highlighted a major flaw in the political system and re-presenting it as a base for rational argument. I may understand why the NASS is demanding the international market price from NNPC because the refineries are not working in the first place so what exactly did NNPC do with the DSO? No oil producing country in the world sells local crude at international rate to its local refinery do your research. And don’t tell me because Nigeria is doing it makes it right. Though I ve not verified but someone wrote it above that it is presently at 18usd so how is it equal to the present international price? The second paragraph of your post above simply shows that you think Govt is run like a company, oil earmarked for DSO is not meant to generate the same amount of revenue with Govt oil export. It doesn’t even matter if Govt loses some money in the end that is what amounts to direct subsidy every Nigerian is clamoring for Not the kind you pay to a fictitious importer with fictitious import value. Mind you that I never said there won’t be subsidy even in the face of refineries but it will be minute and not Neck breaking like we have now, I still remember I mentioned somewhere that the refineries need some form of loans from the Govt to be fully established. Lemme also remind you that for over 30yrs of operation, NNPC is supposed to have had oil production void of JV’s, refer to Italian ENI group and CNPC for guidance. Producing a few barrels for local refining void of JV’s is not a big deal if this Govt and previous Govts are responsible. Is it unattainable for our NNPC to develop oil fields strictly for refining and refined products export obligations? That way, the whole 60% from JV’s will be exported and used to meet budgetary implementation. Is this clear? What do you mean “we” don’t need to sell crude to “our” refineries? If 60% of all the oil produced in the country is dashed to NNPC refineries, where will revenue to implement the budget come from? Don’t you understand that oil revenue (at export prices) funds about 85% of annual national recurrent and capital expenditure? Are you this ignorant? If 1,500,000bbl/d of daily production is sold at far less than global spot prices to meet local fixed fuel prices, how will the national budget be funded and implemented? Please speak on only what you know! Now remove your hand from your crotch and re- read what I wrote, I said a PART of the 60% not all 60% like you are insinuating. O yeah, because it is refined then it becomes worthless? You are the ignorant person that doesn’t know that 10% of libya’s 1.35m bbl/d which amounts to 135,000bbl/d is exported as refined products, you sincerely believe we won’t earn revenue (thus; implement budget) even if we choose to refine and export a part of our 60% and sell as refined products? Oga, please go back to school [b] It is cheaper to flare associated gas or re-inject it into the ground in the Niger-Delta because it costs many billions of dollars to build gas gathering, processing and distribution infrastructure and the IOCs won’t embark on such venture unless the local market can support such an undertaking. NLNG alone has gulped a cumulative investment of over 22 billion dollars which is why their product is strictly for export. They could only obtain foreign lender financing to build the NLNG trains by securing a long term (20 years) LNG delivery agreements with European utilities i.e. a guaranteed off-taker. The PHCN tht is supposed to do this in the local market is not a credit worthy partner. By the way, the NLNG allocates 150,000 metric tones per day to meet its DSO while the local market only consumes 73,000 metric tones per day. Nigerians prefer to use kerosene or firewood while gas is cheaper for them to use. A 12.5 kg gas cylinder can last up to 8 weeks. How many kerosene bottles at today’s prices will you use in 2 months? Majority of our West African neighbors use gas.[/b] Did you type the above as a FACT or what you THINK? The last time I checked, Anglo dutch has AGG facilities in Obigbo, imo river, Afam, Agbada 1 and 2, Nembe 1,2,3,4 flow stations etc, how exactly did you come to the conclusion “that IOC’s wont embark on such ventures”? Or is Anglo dutch no longer an IOC in Nigeria? Please stop deceiving people. I know about reintroduction of Gas in wells and it has nothing to do with AGG unless for Tight IOC’s. I will advise you to visit bigger facilities and stop generalizing from a lone petit facility that re injects associated gas. Why would you need to design a process that will re inject associated gas (nearly UN realistic perhaps you can spike in condensate) when you can drill a surface Gas well from the same reservoir where your crude is coming from? At least the Gas volume will be higher and will last longer. How I wished you paused and thought over what you typed on your last paragraph above. I explained in my post why gas is expensive you are busy telling me how west African Countries need it more than us cos we prefer firewood; You love typing before reading, NLNG DSO is 150,000mt (according to you) I have not verified but we consume 73,000mt according to you (only Jehovah knows how you arrived at that figure), but from my post you quoted, I emphatically said that the “cabals” do not have the capacity to lift the total NLNG provided DSO of 150,000mt (according to you) that is why 73,000mt comes to the market, Apply demand and supply to 150,000mt against 73,000mt in the market and tell us whether the price will be higher or lower? Think, think, think my friend [b] it works in other oil producing countries lke Venezuela, libya and Saudi because only government owned refineries exist in those countries that gets oil at subsidized rates from the state run oil producing monopoly. Their national oil company usually takes that loss which amounts to billions of dollars. It won’t work in Nigeria because our oil industry is not entirely state run. There are IOCs/private companies involved. They are not charities that will invest shareholder funds and then sell their products for less than the opportunity cost of exporting. Where is the level playing field if the government is begging for private refineries, won’t subsidize crude costs to them (for budgetary reasons) and then expect them to produce price regulated products? That is why private investors have refused to invest in refineries. The major input costs in a refinery is the cost of crude which is bleeding the life out of the NNPC as they are forced to pay international market prices for DSO crude.[/b] I have come to realize that you have a problem understanding my post and you have a sentimental attachment to failed Govt policy. If the Libyan Govt is running an oil producing monopoly like you alleged, what is CNPC of china, ONGC of India, Pertamina of Indonesia, polish oil and gas, Turkish petroleum, GAZPROM of Russia, ENI of Italy, OMV,REPSOL, SONATRACH of Algeria, CONOCO Philips and PETROBRAS of brazil etc all doing there? I have warned you, stop saying what you don’t know, it is different with Libya because even though they respect their JV’s with IOC’s, their national oil companies are still producing for local refining and refined export. That is the difference between our Inept NNPC and them; each time we need crude for anything, we run to our JV’s when NNPC after 30yrs could have been producing for local refining and refined export without the JVs Let me tell you for the last time The cost of producing oil is far cheaper than the international market price so it is silly for the Nigerian politicians to peg DSO par with international price that is an economic blunder not the ideal thing like you want us to believe. The Libyan govt is not losing by selling lower to the refineries because they produce the crude at a lower cost, send to refineries and still have more refined products for local use and export exactly why fuel is very cheap over there. The budgetary benchmark has little or no effect to what I am saying but because NNPC through its incompetent NPDC does not produce oil of their own in reasonable amounts due to corruption (they are covertly taking over some Anglo dutch marginal wells, in less than a year, they will cripple those facilities with their usual ineptitude) If the above is the case, the NASS should be smart to know that the DSO must come from the total 60% whose cost will definitely be borne from the Govt purse, that proves the fact that subsidy is Inevitable. We may open discussions again on other ways the Govt can reduce the cost of the subsidy if they are sincere to themselves. in the interim, Good day!!! Abeg moderator stop banning me |

@ ocelot 2006 You did not answer the question The young man asked of fighter jets and you answered with military transport junks all non combatant except for a few light helos I saw in your previous post where you mentioned Vlc's,steyer, octar abi na wetin as military hardwares during the delta conflict and you shamelessly added Augusta 109 Lol Pls do nairalanders a favour, list out the capabilities of these hardwares you mentioned above then i will post a picture of the terrain so you can tell us exactly how your boys could utilize them, You sounded like a fat general drinking cofee at the army headquarters while your boys were slaughtered in droves in the delta. You dont knw what you are saying a thick mangroove chopper competent for that crises will definitely need a downward thrust aim of less than 45 degrees, a modern Apache will qualify i dont know about that lunch box you called Augusta 109 Till you explain how ur ocotor lol or steyer can fight in a creek of swampy mangroove, i may have other things to tell you. I told an officer guarding our facility then that the NA needed just 2 serious hardwares for that conflict A military spec hovercraft with minimum of 50caliber machine guns And a millitary spec transport boogey to flush those guys, unfortunately your men came with life jackets, AKs and your Augusta 109 lol Lemme remind you that the honda 300hp patrol boat arrived in the delta in 2010, you can imagine what happened to your boys hitherto at the onset of the crisis. I am aware you may have gotten the report on how the ND boys hijacked those toys in the delta before the Honda's arrived. Lastly, about the crack down on tompolo, the main tompolo boys have already accepted Amnesty before the crackdown that alone has weakened his formations also during that time he was more a buisness partner with the military than enemy so i believe he let his guard down. The buisness i am talking about is the fact that tompolo uses military to escort his bunkery barges,so my dear, enspounge that instance from your success story and brief us from 2005 to 2009 how your lunch box Augusta 109 dropped oil production from 2m bbl/d in 2005 to a paltary 450,000 bbls/d in 2009. Im neither for the miscreants in the delta nor for your inept millitary but i stood as a discerning mind who watched as events unfolded, those ND boys fu.cked the military that they had no go areas in the delta. Yaradua salvaged a national disaster. |

| Business › Re: PART 1: NIGERIAN OIL INDUSTRY AND FUEL SUBSIDY: FACTS, MYTHS & HIDDEN TRUTH by jpphilips(m): 3:54pm On Nov 25, 2011 |
Some sanguinary PDP infested agents of darkness thought they could discredit this expose thanks to MIdas02 who came to the OP's rescue. How can a maggot like "Kalokalo" open his bribe infested pity mouth to ask a 5tupid question like this, yet he claims he is close to the oil and gas industry even when i have refuted it severally here on Nairaland, in an attempt to create confusion on a brilliant expose like the above 3) Would be IOCs agree to sell crude to local refineries at below international market prices considering that they are are tied to long term crude supply contracts to foreign refineries at global spot prices? If they are forced to, would the FG reimburse them of that loss considering that the IOCs are not charities like NNPC?Guess what? some Govt termites are already praising his smoke skull that even when the writer talked emphatically about the DSO (domestic supply obligation) it still did not make any sense to him. this was the same strategy Beaf used during the elections, even himself is living in PDP's Agony. shame on you all. i will try to answer a few of your questions though Midas has hinted on almost all of it. you ask and i quote; 1) Why is it that only government owned refineries exist in Nigeria? Why have the IOCs/private investors refused to invest in refineries if there is indeed no 'subsidy' and it made business / economic sense to invest in refineries in Nigeria? You mixed about three different issues in one, in 1965 the Anglo dutch built a refinery in Nigeria but at a time the Govt took it over, it is a risky business in an unfavorable political climate Nigeria finds itself, because politicians invest a lot in the oil and gas industry,the laws that apply are always a conflict of reasonable interest. Recently the NNPC made a mess of common sense by attaching a part B clause in the licensing to build refineries by giving them an option of "oil lifting and importation" this means that as much as you have the license to build a refinery, you can as well import and enjoy subsidy. tell me; who in his right senses will choose option A where he will spend about 2b usd for a period of 5yrs vs when he can easily use half of the money to import and make double the profit. do you know why they did it? because it is this same "cabal" that bidded for it and it is not open for every investor unless you are an affiliate of the "cabal" hopelessly, the cabals are equally in govt making these laws to suit their purpose, what a conflict of interest. My dear, you will never smell a refinery until the "cabal" influence is flushed out and i must tell you that the country is held by the balls by these group which doesn't exclude beaf's boss. you ask again; 2) If a brand new refinery in built today in Nigeria, at what price would crude be sold to them by the IOCs/JV partners? at what price would they be allowed to sell their refined products i.e crude costs + refining costs+ crude and refined fuel transport costs + VAT/excise charges + bank charges + profit?like Midas told you, we don't need to sell crude to our refineries for God's sake, there is a JV which guarantees 60% of all the oil produced in the country goes to NNPC and NNPC does not operate the JV but IOC, now, by law, a part of of that 60% which amounts to 1,500,000bbl/d will be set aside for local refining in what they call DSO. it is left for the NNPC to attach a little price to it as cost of raw material for the refineries. the refineries does their job and sells to the marketers who sell to you and the money goes to the refinery again who pays for DSO and set aside the change for operations cost. the refining cost in Nigeria is very high because of labor Go to Portharcourt refinery and see for yourself people sit and gist in the end they collect salaries not meager salaries but huge salaries some of them received employment letters without job descriptions. All you need is get a recommendation from the so called "cabal" or other govt official and you are there. just recently they reviewed their pay structure such that some retirees earn far more than active staffs in reasonable positions, can you imagine that madness? An old man attending village meetings earns higher than a productive staff. compare them with Indorama their sister company and tell the difference. Ask yourself what a refinery running at less than 20% installed capacity be doing with 100% staff strength? your other concerns are petty because once they reduce their unreasonable staff strength, enact reasonable laws my dear, cost of operation will reduce drastically by 70%, the transport you talked about is basically pipelines the refineries have it already all it needs is a little sectional replacements here and there and they are back up. these pipelines by law are meant to undergo CT,CP and pigging every five yrs which of course will be taken care of from their profits and the pipelines wont have issues. may be you don't know that SPDC has a pipeline that runs from Egbema to assa then to Rumuekpe constructed in 1971 that is still operational till date without issues. other ways the cost will come down is the introduction of AGG (associated gas gathering) the Govt can give loans to refineries for AGG projects perhaps after a few years of operation and i bet you the price of one litre of PMS will fall to 20 naira, see how it works; crude oil comes out from oil wells mostly with Natural gas called associated gas. the refineries can ask NNPC to be sending their DSO crude as pure crude from the wells, because the crude is raw, the price tag on the DSO will be reduced and the end price will be cheap. with an AGG, the refinery will harness the gas and use thermal fractional distillation to refine their crude. this is no rocket science but common sense applied everywhere in the world but the Bingos in NNPC cant figure it out because corruption will render it futile. Kalokalo let me tell you; have you bothered to ask yourself why you buy 12.5kg of Gas for almost 4,000 naira when we burn them in the delta? the reason is that the DSO allocated to NLNG for local use is exported. NLNG says that the "cabal" has no capacity to lift all the Gas allocated for local consumption NNPC/DPR ignores them because they don't want other people to have the license to lift it except "cabal" as a result, they lift the little they can with high demand the price goes up, under normal circumstances, a 12.5kg of Gas in Nigeria will not be sold more than 500 naira, the "cabal" is creating artificial scarcity and NNPC is playing along with it. corruption has finished this country you asked again; 4) What makes the author think locally refined fuel would be cheaper than foreign ones? Is he vouching that local refineries can run more efficiently than foreign ones? Has he considered the cost of doing business in Nigeria? How many commodities produced in Nigeria are cheaper than foreign sourced identical commodities? What makes refined fuel different? good question, the answer is YES the local refineries need not be juxtaposed with foreign ones rather you should figure out what will soar cost of production and i have treated it above 1 reduce staff strength (i see a lot of jobless,useless, pathetic people in the refineries) 2 pipelines for transport which is a fixed asset except for little maintenance like i mentioned above 3 the cost of raw material is already cheap through DSO 4 throw the license open for anybody to become a distributor of marketer not this "cabal" bullshit 5 Institute an AGG regime for all refineries y wont it be cheaper? y is it cheap in other oil producing countries but not Nigeria? you asked; 5 ) Would we be complaining about refineries not working if they were run by the likes of Shell, Exxonmobil or Oando and not by the corrupt and inept Nigerian government/civil servants? i think i Agree with you but seems you were not in Nigeria during Atiku led privatization exercise where more competent companies were disqualified for the "cabal" to either take over or introduce an ally. the answer remains corruption [color=#990000]you ask again; [/color] 6) Has any one wondered why food or any economically priced good has never been scarce in Nigeria? Why is there no room for rent seeking or patronage or corruption or fraud in food production or any non-social goods produced by many competing suppliers? Why fuel or electricity or only monopolistic social goods supplied by the Nigerian government?you answered it yourself because the govt is controlling the economy, people in the govt have business interests that need to be protected, total conflict of interest and fierce corruption. Imagine the chairman of African heritage with a subsidiary Afren producing about 150,000bbl/d of oil sitting as petroleum minister , don't tell me you haven't heard of Rilwanu Lukman that is how far corruption has marooned us. this country is finished. tell me the kind of laws he will promulgate that will be in the interest of Nigerians and usurp his own investments? you ask again; 7) Why cant we ask the government to start forcing every seller of anything in Nigeria to be selling at government dictated prices and then see what happens? well, perhaps you forgot that the people in Govt own the goods in the market (petroleum products), exactly how can your question above be applied? i told Beaf in April that corruption will bring this Nation to its knees and we are not far from this prediction, kindly tell your boss odechukwu that whatever "good" intention he has for this country will never materialize in the face of corruption and if he thinks he can make an input in this nation without fighting corruption then; he rather go back to his Zoo 101. lectures CORRUPTION IS THE ONLY REASON NIGERIANS ARE POOR |

The question is without US/west in Nigeria, do we have peace?peace is relative and i don't think Odechukwu has the brain to think in this direction. before the Nigerian state will capitulate fully that they need help from the outside, the presidency if he has a head would know better that his security apparatus has to be dissolved. some resignations should be crying on his desk, from the police chief to the military and also the paramilitary, SSS wont be left out. NAS of course are interested in probing whether Tinubu has fart or not, whether BPE was r.aped or not where Money passes is where NAS is but never have we heard the NAS summoning the security chiefs to a public hearing at the wake of this crisis. I feel sorry for the people of Nigeria, i don't see anything wrong with the country but i can see oranges represented as citizens. after the security heads have tendered their resignations, the Govt can shop for Defense contractors that will form a joint task force with whatever that is left of our internal security agencies, their pay will be used to sustain the externals in a well spelt contract. i sincerely don't think it must be Americans because Nigeria has reasonable number of Muslims that don't see the Americans in good light, there are good defense contractors in Egypt, Algeria and Israel which the latter has been training most of our military, they can be contracted to deal with this issue. like i said in April, CORRUPTION will bring Nigeria to its knees, only God knows the offer the Americans are putting forth for our Miserable leaders |

[b]i wonder if Nairalanders ever leave their comfort zone Its rather difficult to understand, for someone abroad or in lagos enjoying the luxury of internet facilities will refer to 150bucks as chicken change not knowing that out of school children in a remote area called ASSA in Imo state, hawk sachet water, chewing stick and oranges for 13hrs with less than that as profit. It can never be over emphasized that the foundation on which corruption is thriving is UNPATRIOTISM. The Americans are as corrupt as Nigerians the only difference is that corrupt Americans are patriotic while their Nigerian counterparts are not hence he unleashes corruption with impunity. An example is this; An average Onitsha drug importer brings in fake drugs to Annihilate his own people sometimes his relatives fall victims while the Americans travel to far away Libya and Iraq to murder women and children thus securing cheaper Energy for their people. A lot of us asked those questions while growing up; “what has the government ever done for us?” this question I was able to answer in part 15yrs on during my youth service. Perhaps In our naivety, the issue of subsidy and road projects etc doesn’t quickly come to mind after all we were no car owners. Let me tell you, these children out of school take the risk of travelling miles on foot to either watch local football matches or gaming centers. Why not lure them to school Talking about lunch, on the average, the school children love “okpa” for lunch which cost 5naira. The govt has guaranteed they get one okpa for 20 working days in a month trust me before the year runs out, the schools will run out of accommodation. If you are still looking for reasons to applaud this step; ask yourself, what will the money be doing in the Govt coffers if not to be embezzled like they experienced with previous administrations?. I once told a friend of mine in 2003 that if only the Govt can squeeze out 500USD for all Niger delta indigene monthly, I doubt if criminals like MEND, NDPVF etc will have a local standi. In the end we spent and we are still spending fortunes to keep them quiet. Ironically Goof luck is not giving anyone figures on “Militancy subsidy” this men could have laid down their lives protecting oil installations knowing they have something to lose blowing it up. Yes, it is a good one because it will breed patriotism at a tender age after all the Govt will fool them that they are “chopping oil money” so they are now part of the Nigerians that have access to the National cake. The kids will love their country .I need not remind you that patriotism mitigates corruption Secondly, they will seriously consider going to school just to get Govt money and free okpa for lunch, let us quit deceiving ourselves about Imo state having highest school leavers in the SE. I seriously doubt those ambiguous figures because I ve never met NOA people going to families to interview and get accurate findings. The figures are mere anecdotes, fabrication built on fallacy. When I was doing a project in IMO state hundreds of kids below the age of 17 flock around my work site on daily bases looking for menial jobs, if in doubt drive a hilux or any company vehicle and stop at ASSA junction for 10mins, come here and still tell us they are all in school Lastly and most importantly, the states that don’t pay stipends, what exactly are they doing with their money? This is a psychological push perhaps that is why most people don’t understand it. [/b] |

Please fellow nairalnders if you need any university to go or advice any person to go please just forget anything father edeh (Madonna,Caritas and osisatech) those schools are hell on earth.You will forever regret going to those schools.Your grammar speaks volume of the quality of education. 350k my balls. no need commenting on the Religious side because most Nigerians are brain dead. Jesus your mentor went to preach on the mountain and members were hungry he miraculously multiplied fishes and bread at no cost. He went to a function and the Nigger ran out of shio, he miraculously turned water into wine at no extra cost. today we have preachers that fly in jets while members trek to church, we have religious institutions that encourage "seed of faith" when the preacher farts. silly people, For God's sake, this post is not about "QUALITY OF EDUCATION" but "WHAT THE CHURCH STAND FOR". |

All of these universities were built from tithes and offerings of common people but today can't afford to send their children there.Where is the morals of church gone?These schools were all built by sweat of church members who kept sowing seeds,special offerings,first fruit seed,harvest seed,thanksgiving seed,pastor birthday seed church building seed and tithes.The overseers or gainers then use the proceeds to buy private jets and planes to fly up high in luxury whileseed? why are you scared it germinated a thousand fold |
