That road is dangerous n the drivers are rough, thank God for sparing my life the days I ply those route

It's a gift. Once a gal asked for loan n a gave her,she later wanted a scam relationship so I can forget the little loan,I refused. Note that I had spent more than the loan but when things went wry I demanded for the loan and she paid.

Thinkfree:
Good evening everyone,
Can i retrieve a gift i gave someone? Is there any legal justification for that?

Malami almost declared state of emergency in Anambra last year just because of of activities of their unknown gun men in other to win the election.

Its a no brainier, they ought to have declared this Kaduna stare of emergency but for political and ethnic reasons they will not.

Non achievers, borrow borrow govt

Also I'm not after men, infact they crawl to get my attention

Low life traditional rulers? I can see your level of reasoning is wack.
If u understand Nigeria politicians and Peter Obi personality , he doesn't need to mess himself up.
Nigerian we are not ready to be liberated. We chasing winds.

justified007:
This guy is not serious at all .


You dont just wake up one day and declare an intention to run for the office of the presidency of a country




NB: Our Southeastern people and their politics of emotions . . Peter Obi urchins can continue with their insults but I stand by my comment above .

Even the Kingsley Moghalus, Sowores are out their struggling to gain people's attention and someone went back to his village, gather some lowlife traditional rulers and informed that that he's contesting for the presidential election and they expect us to take him serious. You know how long we've been hearing Swaga Noise ? Osinbajo is everywhere consulting , Atiku issuing press releases Everytime and his declaration was attended by people of high and might , Amaechis , Wikes and others have been making noise everywhere but Obi left Abuja to his village yesterday and told his village people he's contesting for Presidential post and some nitwits are taking him serious . Bunch of jokers

This should have background story.Some women will manipulate a man knowing full well she's not gonna give him anything, No love No Bleep, and she's at same time giving all this to another man.

Go with auto repair, you can still write for fun. Being a very good auto guy will serve u long term, besides you already having a cold feet in the literal world

What about serious penalty for corruption. The kind that brought progress in China. At least they can serve 1year for every million stolen or misappropriated.

Thanks

Trouble in the Senate Yesterday as Senator Ita Enang Reveal that Northerners own 80% of oil blocks

Supporters of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) pushed their case further yesterday at the Senate, with startling facts on the sector.

Senator Ita Enang (Akwa Ibom North East) described the opposition to the 10 per cent host community fund by mostly northern senators as “misplaced”.

Enang, who is also the Chairman, Senate Committee on Rules and Business, said that those opposed to the fund should know that over 83 per cent of oil blocks are owned by northerners.

But he did not give the number of oil blocks Nigeria has.

Senator David Mark, who seemed to have been shocked by what Enang said, said the Akwa Ibom lawmaker should not be distracted (some senators were grumbling) because he was making an important point.Mark asked Enang whether he could substantiate his claim.

Enang promptly pulled out a document from his folder and reeled out oil blocs and their owners.

He said he did not intend to divide the country but to guide those who wanted to contribute to the debate to be truly informed.

He listed northerners who own oil blocks to include Alhaji Mai Deribe, Borno State and owner of Cavendish Petroleum, which operates OML 110 with an average of about N4billion monthly.

He also listed Seplat/Platform Petroleum, operators of the ASUOKPU/UMUTU Marginal Field with Mallam (Prince) Sanusi Lamido, Kano , as a major shareholder and director.

South Atlantic Petroleum Limited (SAPETRO) established by General T. Y. Danjuma, Taraba State , who is also chairman of Eni Nigeria Limited.

SAPETRO partnered with Total Upstream Nigeria Limited (TUPNI) and Brasoil Oil Services Company Nigeria Limited to become operators of the OPL 246.

AMNI International Petroleum and Development Company is owned by Alhaji (Colonel) Sani Bello of Kontangora , Niger State.

“They are operators of OML 112 and OML 117,” he said.

He said that a former Petroleum Minister and former OPEC Chairman, Rilwanu Lukman, another northerner manages AMNI oil blocks “with very key interest in the NNPC/Vitol trading deal.”

He said that Oriental Energy Resources Limited, a company owned by Alhaji Indimi, runs three oil blocks – OML 115, the Oldwok field and the Ebok field.

He said that Alhaji Aminu Dantata’s Express Petroleum and Gas Limited, operates OML 108.

Enang said that OML 113 allocated to Yinka Folawiyo Petroleum Limited is owned by Alhaji W.I. Folawiyo. Alhaji Saleh Mohammed Gambo, North East Petroleum Limited, is the holder of the OPL 215 Licence.

North East Petroleum was awarded blocs OPL 276 and OPL 283 and closing thereupon a Joint Venture Agreement with Centrica Resources Nigeria Limited and CCC Oil and Gas.

He said that INTEL is owned by former Vice President Atiku, the late Gen. Shehu Musa Yar’Adua and Ado Bayero. It has substantial stakes in Nigeria ’s oil exploration industry both in Nigeria and Sao Tome and Principe .

He said that Mike Adenuga’s Conoil is the oldest indigenous oil exploration company with six blocks. OPL 291 was awarded to Starcrest Energy Nigeria Limited, owned by Emeka Offor, which was sold to Addax Petroleum.

Enang urged the Senate to cause the immediate revocation of all oil blocks licences and their redistribution, in accordance with the Federal Character Principle.

He said: “My submission is that when you look at the distribution of those who own oil blocks and the amount of money that comes from the different oil blocks to the Federation Account and you see the owners of these oil blocks, you will agree with me that there is inequity in the distribution of oil blocks.

“The oil is produced in the Niger Delta yet it is the people of the Northeast and the Northwest and a little of the Northcentral, almost nothing of the Southwest and the Southeast, that are the persons owning and controlling these oil blocks.

“Almost nothing for the Southsouth, Niger Delta oil producing areas.

“They are quarreling with the area that takes just 13 per cent when you are producing the entire 100 per cent, you give some to the Federation Account and they give only 13 per cent of what you give and, of course, it is whatever you declared that you have produced. It is actually produced by you.

“I did not want to introduce something that is divisive.

“It is not intended to divide the country, it is intended to say ‘look, let us be realistic’.

“What some of the oil wells and the owners of the oil wells produce in a month and take as profit is sometimes more than what two or three states receive from the Federation Account.”

Enang noted that “when a group of people are richer than a state and then it is produced by you, then there is so much opposition that even the people who suffer the effect of the oil production should not be give host communities’ fund; and we have explained that the host communities fund is not only for the oil producing; it is for any of the communities that hosts oil infrastructure, which includes oil pipelines, refineries, gas pipelines and anything that is capable of causing danger.”

“If we had the host communities fund, the danger that we have been having in Arepo in Ogun State, the area would have benefited from the host communities fund.”

Enag said that other areas, such as Kaduna and some other states, will benefit from it.

He went on: “If you are producing and declaring only what you like and only the 10 per cent now being provided for the host communities and the 13 per cent which is after deducting everything, that cannot be in the interest of the country.

“What I am asking now is that oil blocs in the whole country should be revoked and redistributed according to Federal Character Principle.

“We are not saying that we in the Southsouth should have all or the Southeast should have all or the Southwest should have all.

“In fact, if there are 18 oil blocs or 36 oil blocks, we don’t mind that you give us at least four, Northeast four, Southeast four, Northwest four.

“At least, let there be equity, but then there should be the principle of who owns it and then you give us more.

“But at this time, we don’t even have it. The 13 per cent is what we are even suffering to sustain.”

Senator Olufemi Lanlehin (Oyo South) praised the maturity of Senators in considering the bill.

He urged the Senate to look at the “absolute and sweeping powers” granted the President in Section 191 of the bill.

The Section, he said, gives the President absolute and unqualified powers to grant petroleum licences to whoever he pleases.

Lanlehin prayed the Senate to use the opportunity of the bill to design a template that would grow the economy.

Senator Adegbenga Kaka (Ogun East) said he was supporting the bill with mixed feelings.

He noted that the trend of the debate seemed to indicate that senators were more concerned about how to share the cake and not how to bake it.

Kaka said the power granted the minister of petroleum in the bill should be reconsidered “so that we don’t give too much power to the minister.”

The lawmaker who insisted that the bill should be finetuned, said certain percentage of earnings should be set aside to fix electricity, agriculture and other infrastructure.

Senator Mohammed Goje (Gombe Central) said before the debate, he was completely against the bill.

He said the trend of the debate showed that the Senate was poised to do justice to the bill by removing offensive sections.

To him, it seems a consensus is being built around certain sections of the bill.

He noted that most contributors agreed that the power of the minister should be reduced, such that the minister will just be like any other minister.

Goje said: “We should not create a super minister.”

He said that definite provision should be made for frontier exploration, especially adequate funding.

He opposed 10 per cent host community fund.

Senator Barnabas Gemade (Benue North East) described the bill as very important and long overdue.

Gemade said an adage says: “Wherever you find oil, corruption creeps in and wherever you find diamond war emerges.”

He said the adage had been proved to be true.

Gemade said the bill contained good and bad provisions. He listed the good sections to include development of the gas sector, increase in promotion of local content and the unbundling of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

The bad sections, he said, include the minister’s economic power.

On the host community fund, Gemade said efforts should be made to ensure that it does not degenerate to very poor management of resources as it is, according to him, in the Niger Delta Development Commission, 13 per cent derivation and others.

On the frontier exploration, he said more effort should be geared towards discovering oil in other places.

Senator Akin Odunsi ( Ogun West) described the bill as the most important legislation before the National Assembly.

Odunsi noted that the bill becomes even more important when it is recognised that the country runs a mono economy based on oil.

The lawmaker cautioned against undue sentiment in the consideration of the bill.

He agreed that the bill was not perfect but posited that it could be fine-tuned to engender development.

Senator Abdulahi Adamu (Nasarawa West) said he was giving the bill “a reserved support”.

Adamu expressed worry about the absence of transparency and accountability in the oil sector.

He said the bill appears to contradict the Constitution (as amended), especially when it is recognised that oil and gas as well as other minerals are in the Exclusive List and under the control of the Federal Government.

The lawmaker cautioned about the unbundling of the NNPC in order not to put up the corporation for outright purchase by wealthy Nigerians.

On the host community fund, Adamu said the provision would create the fourth tier of government.

To Senator Gbenga Ashafa (Lagos East), the bill will be counter productive in its present form. He demanded the definition of host community.

Ashafa said pipelines burst at times not because of vandalisation but because of the integrity of the pipes.

Senator Ayogu Eze said his support for the bill stemmed from the realization that the oil sector should be reformed.

Eze highlighted issues of details in the bill, which, he said, should be addressed at the committee and public hearing levels.

It was obvious that most northern Senators were not comfortable with what Enang said.Trouble in the Senate Yesterday as Senator Ita Enang Reveal that Northerners own 80% of oil blocks

At this time I prefer a sound foreigner

Nukilia:
This would be a welcomed development! If we can even hire a foreign president to replace Baba, it won't be a bad idea.

This story has some missing episodes, and am sure you like him for the wrong reasons e.g cars apartment etc so you are thinking of future and if he knows this and sees you as a temp babe for sex then change the narrative.

So you told us what you do but not what he does?

Ironically, he couldn't handle the only thing that made them vote him, instead, the trap he set for someone come catch him own people.

It's clear that these guys dont care about us.

Any support make out of sentiment like that done in 2015 is an ignorant act that will still visit us.

Well, the truth is not matter what you say he's better that most of the others. Pls send your father to buy a ticket and contest.

LegendHero:
Like I said, Obi Pandora is just a pretender and a worthless common criminal. His mates are strategically campaigning to the grassroots, he is wasting his time away on Twitter. Such an unserious politician.

He will always say he has no money and next time we see him having Pandora companies all about.

He has no balls and knows he won’t even make the 8th position in PDP primaries so he is waiting patiently till Atiku declares so he can deputize him as usual.

Before he show face, he should tell us why he sponsored the massacre of his people in Awkusu.

I watched the interview live and to be honest he's the only bold person that is raw about situations in the country.

Speaking good English won't cut it.

He didn't fall for the trap of the interviewers.

Except that he rated Buhari administration high,he actually did better in defending him on the insecurity aspect,as the governors are the ones to so their homework,e.g Zulum.

On average, I will rate him 65% .

Tinubu isn't a favorite for the North, sorry to his followers, plus his antecedent in Lagos is not really fantastic, look at fashola for instance who flopped at the federal level. I would think that by now Nigerian educated youths will know what they want but unfortunately we are part of the problems.

I wonder who'll believe this? Was he a partner in the auditing firm or just an auditor. There's something wrong with the story.

Watched the entire interview, and I stand to be corrected, He is the only person that has boldly spoken like one who is ready for the job.

Meanwhile, he never talked much about Tinubu except saying that the party doesn't belong to him.

Tinubu should stop being a tyrant that feels he owns everything. Mark my words he may loose out.

Few suggestions

1. Fake your death
2. Change your name
3. Claim insanity (I think this will work)

Am sure if you are ingenious, one of these may work for you.

NB: They normally do arrest and jail if they believe you wanna abscond.

Lol, but there's no proof here that the loan company actually did it.

On a side note, these companies are taking advantage of vulnerable people and should be stopped.

Buhari, you had your second chance after 4 attempt and have proved to the whole Nigeria that you have nothing to offer.

We are patiently awaiting for your exit, Goodbye in advance.

These loan companies are like Bandits and are worse than "Buhari". Tell me why you borrow money to someone at 30% on 7days ,that means in month interest is more than 100%. The minimum interest they offer is 50% in a month. Why would this country allow these kinda open robbery.

Secondly, if one default, they immediately start the harassment and character assassinations without considering the effect on the person.

Consider, someone who desperately needs cash and get it from them,only to pay huge interest , will get more loans to pay the previous one and is stuck in a debt loop. And in most cases the money given to first timers don't exceed 15-20k.

Nigerian don't need this kinda rapist n evil organization in our society. Let's flush them out before it's too late.

Generally, when one has a biased mind on issues like this, it's a fight between good and evil.

If you are not afraid of your wife, change the rules.
You said you provided everything from house , car, etc plus you are faithful, no drinking. Change the rules.
Your family and friends no dey come ur house but hers come. Shows u are not In charge. Change the rules.
He that holds the pipe dictates the tone.

Promise to who?, Ur brethren? Cuz as far as I know we can't wait for you to get out. Nonsense people

Won't lie bro, I love your story and experience and I see you as a successful man already. I know it's just a matter of time and we will hear of your success story. God's watching you.

Oga, the gal no like u. If she's genuine, she won't demand anything from you. Sex or no sex. But since you tried to find out and you got the answer, I don't know which prophet you are looking for here.

We don't need his comment. His decision to bring us hell hasn't yielded any friut

If she will respect you and you can live her ,them go ahead and marry her

AmericanDad:
