hahn:Looooool...Full bible of gini? But seriously, I agree with you. All GEJites I speak with are either poor in factual analysis and/or agree GEJ has not performed but must be relected because of tribal and/or religious affiliations forgetting that when the so called 'cabal' denied VP GEJ ascendancy to President, we Nigerians overlooked the sectarian card and overwhelmingly rooted for him. How convenient to forget all that today. 3 Likes |

1. GEJ's Phantom Thesis and Age Falsification: These have been covered by threads here on NL conclusively. Phantom Thesis: Everyone reading this would admit that Nigerians have been asking to read GEJ's PhD thesis to understand how a 'Dr of Philosophy' is a gaffe king and portrays clueless antecedents without abating. Searches in public domain and in Uniport library have proved unsuccessful in unearthing this most wanted thesis in Nigeria --> http://newsrescue.com/what-you-didnt-know-about-jonathans-phd-qualification-a-must-read-gejwhereisyourthesis/ A thesis is not a classified document. If we cannot trace it even in GEJ's almer mater, then it does not exist. OBJ admitted that it was known in PDP circle in 2007 that GEJ did not complete his PhD but was pardoned to be Yar'aduas running mate per their ’man-know-man' cutlure in PDP Age Falsification--> https://www.nairaland.com/2119129/new-facts-show-president-jonathans#30230685 [b]It was clearly shown that GEJ had to be borne earlier than 1955 (1951? as documented by the World History Book) rather than the 1957 on his CV to explain GEJ starting Primary school in February 1961. Efforts by collynzo9 and other GEJites to debunk this reasoning have met their Waterloo here on NL. Again, we ask: If GEJ was borne in 1957 how was he able to start Pri. Sch. in the creeks of Otueke at 3+years old? 2. Missing $20Billion in NNPC and the PwC Audit Report. NOI actually failed to produce this report to Nigerians twice by missing two deadlines provided by herself- Nov. 2014 and Jan. 2015. That the report has been presented to GEJ does not change that fact. With less than 11 days to the presidential elections, it is obvious PDP, GEJ and NOI are dragging the issue until the elections are done with. That points to only one thing. There is something to hide and will be damaging to PDP if released before Febuhari 14. This issue has lingered for over 1 year now and no haste is being applied to the matter even though NOI agreed that at least $10Billion cannot be accounted for. That amount is half of Nigeria's annual budget. I had to open a thread to show the opportunity cost of this amount to Nigerians --> [/b]https://www.nairaland.com/2067016/photos-10-billion-us-dollars [b]You will be drawn close to tears after going through that thread. On the allegations of corruption against GMB in his PTF or Petroleum Federal Commisioner (Minister) days under OBJ. N25B Allegation at PTF “There was no noticeable fraud in PTF. There was an investigation under OBJ who confirmed that the report was brought to him and there was nothing on ground as far as GMB's management and chairmanship of the PTF were concerned. Knowing OBJ, EFCC would have made mince meat of GMB especially when GMB contested against OBJ in 2003 or against PDP in 2007 and 2011. IBB can never contest elections in Nigeria because of the dirt that would be dug up by his opponents. $2.8Billion Allegation at Petroleum Federal Commision When the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation was created in 1976, Buhari was also appointed as its Chairman, a position he held until 1978. During his tenure as Commissioner, $2.8 billion allegedly went missing from the accounts of the NNPC in Midlands Bank in the United Kingdom. Former President Ibrahim Babangida allegedly accused Buhari of being responsible for his fraud. However, according to the Modalities for Coordinating Nigeria's Anti-Corruption Strategies, Constructive Engagement Vol.1 No.1, (2009), in 1983, Shagari administration inaugurated the Crude Oil Sales Tribunal of Inquiry, headed by Justice Ayo Irikefe, to investigate allegations of N2.8 billion misappropriation from the NNPC account. The tribunal however found no truth in the allegations even though it noticed some lapses in the NNPC accounts. --> [/b][url]https://books.google.fr/books?id=0W8-vc7AlFAC&pg=PA41&lpg=PA41&dq=nnpc+buhari+2.8+billion&source=bl&ots=VQy2z-Csg6&sig=tFN2jtwTxuXHmVKJVnaXTy-RSFw&hl=en&sa=X&ei=Y6e7VO2WLIj_UMijgvAL&ved=0CHwQ6AEwDw#v=onepage&q=nnpc%20buhari%202.8%20billion&f=false[/url] IBB being a seasoned kleptomaniac, has even made this an unworthy allegation for me. A simple thought experiment.....where are all these monies kept by GMB? It is on record that GMB has never kept a foreign bank account. This is a man who has only two houses- one in Kaduna and the other in Daura, 150 cows and his N2.3M per month pension. None of you has been able to point out where GMB kept the allegedly stolen money. 3. GEJ's Non Performance- The 'I Will Do' President GEJ's words: “What I want to tell you and the rest of the country is that the Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Organisation, when he was in Yenagoa and when he was in Port Harcourt, mentioned clearly that the President had done nothing for the two states". "Don’t worry. It is good news because people have been saying that I concentrated development in the South-South. Bayelsa State was part of Rivers State. Then, if I don’t concentrate development in this state that means there has not been development in Rivers and Bayelsa States". " Luckily we have been challenged that we have not done anything, we must do something,” [b]This, is admitting non performance. Like agaba123 stated, GEJ is trying to say he is non parochial. His last sentence indicates a change in tactics. This implies he will become parochial if he is reelected. Chose one. GEJ did not perform or he will become parochial in his 3rd term. Either way, he doesn't deserve your vote. 4. Patience Jonathan asked Igbo's to vite for GEJ just because he is their Brother In-law First Lady Patience Goodluck yesterday pleaded with the people of Anambra State to vote for her husband in next month’s presidential election because of his status as their in-law. Mrs. Jonathan, who was on President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign team to the state, told PDP supporters at a rally in Onitsha that her spouse deserves their support if not for nothing else. That is a pitch for nepotism as its best. This is one of my big grouse with GEJites. If any of GEJ/PDP failures and vices are put before them, they resort to trying to paint GMB or APC just as bad. That is admittance of the allegation in the first place. Two wrongs do not cut it my friends. GMB was once quoted to have said "Muslims should vote Muslim" during one of his campaigns then in 2003. Though, in that statement he tried encouraging fair votes between muslim brothers and sisters, it actually came out wrong. More so, as a muslim, he exempted christians from performing duties on Sundays. When GMB was asked to exempt muslims on Friday, he replied saying the Bible says christians should rest on the 7th day, and asked muslims to show him where the Qur'an says muslims should rest on Fridays. It should be noted that PDP is the one that campaigns with the religious card, claiming GMB is a religious fanatic while campaigning the southern Nigeria, and claiming GMB is not a devout Muslim for selecting a pastor running mate while campaigning in the north. 5. Unstable Power under GEJ. Over four years ago in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, GEJ had while interacting with Nigerians, in February 2011, promised that if voted in for the next four years, he would ensure significant improvement in power, especially. He had said:[/b] “But if I’m voted into power within the next four years, the issue of power will become a thing of the past. “Four years is enough for anyone in power to make significant improvement and if I can’t improve on power within this period, it then means I cannot do anything even if I am there for the next four years.” http://dailytrust.com.ng/daily/top-stories/45430-no-govt-can-fix-nigeria-in-4-years-jonathan Read a newspaper article in Aug. 2013 under GEJ: The total amount of electricity generated in Nigeria as at 6am on Saturday was 2,628.6 megawatts. This indicates a sharp drop from the little above 4,000MW, which the Federal Government had recently announced as the country’s generated power. The drop in generated electricity, according to the Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo,........ http://www.punchng.com/news/power-generation-drops-to-2628-6mw/ According to the 2014 third quarter economic report of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Nigeria lost 350 megawatts per hour of generated electricity during the period bringing down the earlier 3250MW of electricity being generated to 2,900MW. https://www.nairaland.com/2073802/2014-gejs-failed-scorecard-power The GEJ Gov't keeps claiming achievements in power generation but under close scrutiny, they fall like a pack of cards. After 5-6 years in power, GEJ has woefully failed in power generation. Blaming gas pipelines vandalidation is so funny. Claiming that gas can be bunkered by GEJ and his ministers is a fallacy. What do you do with highly flammable bunkered gas? 6. Over 200 Chibok Girls Kidnapped by Boko Haram. I won't dwell on GEJs tribal motivated inaction throughout the unfortunate saga. That anyone feels that they can defend GEJ on this one is so appalling. I leave you with this to ponder over. [img]http://3.bp..com/-84_bsxhAL-o/VBBPiyGbSOI/AAAAAAADgwg/-c9o98iLwzc/s280/3.png[/img] 7. Chadian Forces Leading and Winning the Anti-Boko Haram Assault It has been recorded that Nigeria Military has been claiming successes recorded by foreign troops against Boko Haram in border towns. Nigeria’s military played down Chad’s role, saying Nigerian forces were leading the offensive against Boko Haram in the northeast. Quoting a news article interviewing Lieutenant General Vincent Stewart, director of the US Defense Intelligence Agency: Nigeria’s military played down Chad’s role, saying Nigerian forces were leading the offensive against Boko Haram in the northeast. US officials have privately complained that Nigeria has been reluctant to take up Washington’s offers of assistance but Stewart said the outcome of upcoming elections on February 14 would possibly clear the way for more cooperation. The polls “will give us a better sense of who we have to work with and what we can do to help,” he added. http://thenewsnigeria.com.ng/2015/02/03/us-spy-chief-unimpressed-by-nigerias-boko-haram-campaign/ [b]GEJites will claim that America's Spy Chief is also on APC payroll? In fact, all the 'Nigeria Forces successes started in Jan. 2015, when Chad invaded Nigeria and GEJ realised his chances in the forthcoming elctions were no longer assured. The electioneering gimmick is too obvious to see. This is coming after 5 years of Boko Haram claiming territory, kidnappings, mailings and killings of civilians and military personnel. This is very insensitive on the part of the GEJ Gov't. If you believe DHQ on giving Chad permission, just remember that the same DHQ also claimed to have rescued the Chibok girls. 8. 2012 Subsidy riots aka #OccupyNigeria and Lack of Refining Capacity First agaba123 claims that GMB built no refinery..... See my response to rozayx5 on a thread he was being a nuisance in LRNZH:Meanwhile read this excerpt from a news article in Dec. 2012: Again in January 2012, at the height of the fuel subsidy protests, the Federal Government said it would build three refineries. The Minister of Works, Mr. Mike Onolememen, who spoke to douse the tension associated with the protests, had said, “I want Nigerians to know that when these new refineries are completed, we will be a net exporter of petroleum products and prices will begin to come down, just as we are witnessing in the telecommunications sector with the GSM regime. “That is my message to Nigerians. Let us support the government. Let us join hands with the government because it cannot and will not take any decision with the aim of punishing fellow Nigerians. It is impossible. So, Nigerians should have this at the back of their minds. “The one in Lagos is with the capacity of 200,000 barrels per day, while the ones in Kogi and Bayelsa have the capacity to produce 100,000 barrels per day.” Investigations at the NNPC showed that 11 months after the government promised to build the three refineries, not much has been done to that effect. [url]http://www.punchng.com/news/fg-drops-planned-refinery-projects-%E2%80%A2jonathan-must-tackle-fuel-subsidy-corruption-labour/[/url] The The Kaduna Refining and Petrochemical Company and Warri Refining and Petrochemical Company, with combined capacity of 235,000 barrels per day, produced nothing in September 2014, the Nigerian National Petroleum Resources has said which is typical of those refineries these days. Oh... On Dangote's proposed refinery which was promised to start up in 2016, that GEJites heavily rely upon, has been moved to mid 2018. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2014-11-17/dangote-says-nigeria-lagos-refinery-to-start-by-mid-2018 The implication of this is that if GEJ wins elections in 2015, he will not fix Gov't owned refineries, and Dangote's refinery won't startup until 3.5 years into GEJ's 3rd term. That means no subsidy removal, cabal continues and Naira will probably exchange at N500 to a dollar. No good luck to Nigerians if GEJ wins. 9. Naira Has Depreciated Significantly. At ~N210 to $1 US, Naira has depreciated by almost 30% immediately oil price went south late 2014. With the average of ~$85 per oil barrel under GEJ's 5 to 6 years, there was not enough money in the foreign reserve to protect the Naira while the national debt is greater than reserves. The problem is even bigger than that. GEJ and NOI economic policies did not creat any real economy. Hence Nairas stability can never be guaranteed. Let me simplify the issue with this example. Russia, Iran, Venezuela and Nigeria are the countries most hit by the fall in oil price. Only Nigeria out of this list is not under biting foreign sanctions or running a huge welfare state. Nigeria has no business on that list if not for gross economic mismanagement and high level corruption. Refer to Soludo's nuclear bomb (pt.1) on NOI for more. 10. The 2nd Niger Bridge Scam According to the terms of this fraudulent business, the project is a Design, Finance, Build, Operate and Transfer (DFBOT) model to cost N117 Billion naira with the Federal Government contributing a paltry N30 billion naira while the consortium will raise the rest of the funds and thereafter hold the Igbo people to ransom by collecting a 25 year toll tax for raising the rest of the funds offshore. Experts have told me that the bridge is not supposed to cost anything above N50 billion, going by Nigerian standard of cost inflation, including the 11 km access roads. However, this contract cost was doubled overnight to N117 billion to justify the financial heist on Ndigbo. The fraudulent construction will cost N117 billion for a 1.5 km bridge while the 1.3 km Lekki-Ikoyi suspension Bridge cost only N29 billion. Thus the thieves jerked the cost of constructing the 2nd Niger bridge to 4 times the actual cost just to justify the rape on the over grateful Igbo nation. [url]http://saharareporters.com/2014/12/19/fraudulent-construction-2nd-niger-bridge-%E2%80%93-another-419-igbo-nation-obinna-akukwe[/url] Going by the above, If GMB's supporters are childish as Etcetera claims, then GEJites are yet to be released spermatozoans for not spotting the worst govt Nigeria has had since the failed 2nd Republic of Shehu Shagari. GMB started the rescue of Nigerians on Dec. 31, 1983 and he will rescue us again from May 29, 2015. I will not respond to agaba123 henceforth on this issue or to any other out-of-depth analysis with a thread in the future. I just did not want any immature thread calling my moniker out to fester like Boko Haram while adopting a 'GEJesque siddon look for years claiming Boko Haram are our siblings' strategy. I had to nip agaba123 and other GEJites in the bud since they're aiming to become malignant. LRNZH Long Live Nigeria. Sai Buhari. 38 Likes 9 Shares |

[b]I am responding now because agaba123 opened a thread here--> https://www.nairaland.com/2126947/tell-lrnzh-respond-response-asap appealing for my response. I promised to give him THE TSUNAMI within 24hrs because I am busy with personal projects. Interacting with other Nairalanders on political issues is borne out of my passion for a new successful Nigeria in my life time. It is not my job and I have bills to pay. My response is at my leisure. With no time to waste, below is THE TSUNAMI: Before I delve into my education of agaba123 on the points he raised and other GEJites, I'd like to dissect and run a psychoanalysis of agaba123 to show why his political affiliation is grossly misplaced. There is an Idoma proverb that says "When the yam pounder is tired, he/she begins to chase chickens away from around the mortar". Of course the chicken can't get into the mortar but it is a pretense to enjoy a much needed rest without appearing lazy. Since GEJites cannot campaign based on GEJ's performance, they resort to personal attacks. Why a proverb in Idoma? Judging by agaba123 moniker, I deduced that his ancestry is from among the Idoma people in the Benue valley, south of Abuja. He admitted this in an earlier interraction. My recollections of the place is an economically, politically and developmentally marginalised land and people because the Idomas have always been in the minority (with a population of 2.5 to 3.5 million both resident in Benue State and in the diaspora), compare with between 5 and 7 million for the dominant Tivs who are in charge of Benue State since inception in 1967. This is worsened by my observation that a higher percentage of Tivs are resident in a conducive Benue State than the Idomas who have moved to other states in Nigeria for greener pastures as their home date is largely repressive. They have only produced deputy governors some of the time in Benue State (including Benue-Plateau State) history, sharing this spot with other even smaller tribes. In the upcoming election, a Tiv man is on roll to be the next governor....AGAIN! I bring all these up to highlight a background for why the Idomaland is marginalised. Read excerpts from the utterances of the President of the Idoma National Forum:[/b] “In the 38years of the existence of Benue State, the Tivs have had complete control of everything in the state and virtually nothing for the Idomas. The posture of the Tiv political dominance in the state which is the handiwork of politicians has created elements of reality in the Tiv/Idoma rivalry,” “The age long request for creation of Apa State is occasioned by the persistent denial of the rights and privileges of the minority tribes and their exclusion from the governance process in Benue state. This denial and exclusion from the main political and economic activities of the state have led to complete stagnation of social, political and economic growth of Southern Benue,” he said. Speaking further, he said that since the political restructuring in 1991 and 1996 which he said gave the Tiv 14 local government areas against the Idoma’s nine LGAs, there has been a deliberate neglect because of the avowed ‘constitutional two-third majority’ conferred on the Tiv. This according to him is making the Idomas and Igedes politically irrelevant in the affairs of the State. “Since 1976, no person from the minority tribes has become Governor, Chief Judge of the State, Speaker of the State Assembly no matter how well qualified they are. A recent survey of employment and appointments in the state civil service shows a very appalling lopsidedness. The extent of marginalisation of the minorities in Benue State is more amplified in appointments. Momoh also alleged marginalisation in academics, saying that Southern Benue can boast of about 100 academic professors of high repute in different fields of endeavour but that none of them has ever been considered suitable for the Vice-Chancellorship of the State University and the Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi. https://dailytrust.com.ng/daily/politics/19881-we-have-been-marginalised-for-38-years-idoma-president [b]Idoma communities are frequently terrorised by marauding nomadic Fulani herdsmen. The absence of adequately motorable roads, waterworks or healthcare in Idoma land is not news at all. The internet is replete with litany of Idoma people's woes. Guess what. Notable Idoma people have been in government since Nigeria's independence. In the Second Republic, Senator Ameh Ebute and Chief Audu Ogbeh were prominent players at the centre, with Ebute becoming Senate President under the Interim regime headed by Chief Ernest Shonekan in 1993 while Audu Ogbeh was to become PDP National Chairman in the current republic. In the early part of OBJ's govt, the Head of Service was an Idoma. There have been several military governors or administrators in each successive military regime since Murtala’s coup, climaxing under IBB namely 1. David Mark (1984-1986, Niger State, under GMB and IBB) 2. Lawrence Onoja (1986-1988, Plateau State, 1988-1989, Katsina State, all under IBB) 3. Chris Abutu Garuba (1985-1987, Bauchi State, under IBB) David Mark was also a diplomat to the US and onetime federal minister of communications under IBB when he claimed that telephony was not meant for the poor. Abba Moro, the Minister of Interior (famous for the Immigration recruitment scandal), and David Mark are in GEJ's gov't. David Mark has been in the 4th Republic Senate since 1999 and has been the longest serving Senate President Nigeria ever had. David Mark has never carried out a single developmental project in the Benue South Senatorial District which he represents. Any interaction with an Idoma person will include a portion lamenting how David Mark has deceived them for 16 years with the promise of facilitating their dream of statehood. Apa State, if actualised, will save the Idomas from the oppressive conditions under Benue State they believe. David Mark is credited with saying that when he helps his kinsmen actualise Apa State, his son will become the first governor of the state, just to highlight how self centred the Idoma elites are. These are PDP chieftains. My point is- the PDP government under GEJ or through the intiative of higly placed Idomas has failed to protect the Idomas or provide them basic amenities since time immemorial. David Mark is in line to return to the senate for the 5th time on the renewed promise of APA State actualisation. Another promise that will not be fulfilled as usual. People Deceiving their own People! This is the kind of deception agaba123 and his lots wish on his people by supporting GEJ/PDP return in 2015. Such unwitting stance is appalling at best. Audi Ogbeh is the notable Idoma person found in APC. He was appointed National Chairman of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in 2001. He held this position until January 2005, when he was forced to resign due to his criticism of President Olusegun Obasanjo's handling of a crisis in Anambra State. A true progressive who would not support OBJ's roughshod manhandling of other politicians. Unfortunately Audu has not held a policy making position in gov't to impact on his people enough. An exemplary leader himself, Audu leads the campaign to raise N5Billion from yam sales in the middle belt to support GMB's ongoing campaign. I hope the misled agaba123 has learnt a lot from this dissection. With little time to waste, let's move on to points agaba123 raised.[/b] 6 Likes 1 Share |

The spokesperson of the police in Gombe State, Fwaje Atajiri, who spoke to PREMIUM TIMES over the telephone, said neither the president nor his convoy was the target of the suicide attack, which he said was carried out by a female bomber. Mr. Jonathan was in Gombe for a rally Monday and there were claims the president escaped a bombing attack after a blast occurred less than 200 metres from his convoy. “The female suicide bomber and a passerby were the only casualties, while six persons were injured but not fatally,” Mr. Atajiri said. He also said the bombing occurred around the Water Board area of the town, far away from where Mr. Jonathan held his rally at the Fantami Township Stadium. “The president was long gone before the blast and if not for media, he would not (have known of the blast) so he could not have been the target. The suicide bomber was heading to her target when the bomb she was carrying went off in an empty place prematurely because of the high level of security put in place,” the police spokesperson said. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/176150-bomb-explodes-gombe-jonathan-campaigned-police-say-president-not-target.html https://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/03184/Nigeria_Gombe_bomb_3184971e.jpg www.nairaland.com/attachments/2089908_gombeblastcopy_jpegc24174232507a68a00ad7aa0b8639dd0 https://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/03184/Nigeria_Gombe_vict_3184970c.jpg |

| Politics › MAIDUGURI ATTACKS: The Role Of The Civilian JTF (w/ Photos) by LRNZH(op): 6:14am On Feb 02, 2015 |
[b]In today’s attacks the Civilian-JTF got all the praise for gathering in their thousands (totaling over 30,000) and being the determinant force that blocked the Boko Haram invasion. Borno state governor Shettima has commended the brave and patriotic youth. While Civilian-JTF fighters from Gidari-Polo were stopped by the military from crossing the trenches around Maiduguri at Gidari in pursuit of Boko Haram fleeing terrorists, the Civilian-JTF volunteers from Gwange did not heed the advice of the military and over 2000 volunteers armed with local guns and swords crossed the trenches in pursuit of Boko Haram terrorists, killing many and capturing three while also capturing and destroying several APCs and other lethal weapons of the terrorists. We ask, why is the Nigerian military aggressively maintaining a defensive posture; always allowing the terrorist the advantage of coordinated attacks, in spite of adequate warning and visual sightings of terrorist formations? Locals have mentioned that the Chadian forces have the same weapons as the Nigerian army yet are able to decisively defeat Boko Haram insurgents in coordinated land and air attacks.[/b] Jonathan Fails to Praise, Support Civilian-JTF It is quite disturbing that for the three years of the existence of the Civilian-JTF, who have undeniably been existential in the defense of communities in Borno, Adamawa, Yobe and environs and who have continued to make the ultimate sacrifice of laying down their lives to defend the integrity of Nigeria, the Jonathan presidency has failed to acknowledge, commend and support these brave patriots. Nigeria’s Chief of Defense, Air Chief Alex Badeh in September of last year promised to convert them into a “professional fighting force,” but far from this, the Civilians have not even been commended honorably by the Nigerian government, talk less supported. These brave patriots receive all the help they can get from locals and struggling organizations like ours. We solicit the Nigerian government immediately make available the funds for rehabilitation of the north raised last August to the affected people and the brave fighting youth. We also implore the Nigerian government immediately work through the army to safely arm these youth to defend their communities and wage decisive wars to defeat these terrorists who have continued to embarrass the nation and lead to unthinkable deaths and losses of property and livelihood in the billions of naira. The Civilian-JTF can and are doing more than helping. They have been the line between victory and total defeat. It is time to support them.

I'm reading all.over again.... "When I assumed office at CBN, I inherited 89 rickety, mostly family banks (all of which put together were not up to the size of number four bank in South Africa). Many were insolvent, with depositors’ money trapped, and 20 more about to collapse. To get a credit of $300 million probably required all the banks to syndicate it. For me, there was a national emergency. I drafted a 13-point reform agenda, discussed and agreed all the specifics with the President, and his VP; as well as my management team at the CBN, and we swung into action. President Obasanjo promised 100% support and actually delivered 1000%— which was decisive. I apologize to you Madam because I did not brief or inform you about it. We just wanted to keep it confidential given the sensitivity of the announcement. It is on record that you never supported it". NOI did not support bank consolidation 1 Like |

Abbott:Thanks to Prof. Soludo. When people like Fashola talk about how much corruption and mismanagement is going on under this Gov't, people say it is partisan. When Sanusi blew the whistle on massive NNPC fraud, they said he has joined the opposition. Soludo has spoken and now it is because he is looking for political favours. They just can't look for inward and admit to what everyone is screaming about. NOI not resigning from this govt is her greatest undoing. 4 Likes |

Swiftboy:[b]Start with this: KRPC numbers in red. You did your internship in 2014. Nothing close to 80% in that period.: “This month (September 2014), zero (0.00) mt of dry crude oil, condensate and slop was received by the three refineries, KRPC, PHRC and WRPC. The respective average capacity utilisation during the month was 0.00 per cent, 8.77 per cent and 0.00 per cent for KRPC, PHRC and WRPC respectively,” according to the report. The Deputy Executive Director, Africa Network for Environmental and Economic Justice, Mr. Leo Atakpu, in a telephone interview with our correspondent, said, “Refineries are in comatose state such that we have to be importing fuel. It is a shame that we are importing petrol and others. In August 2014, output from the country’s refineries dropped to 294,000 mt as they operated at an average of 16 per cent of their combined nameplate capacity of 445,000 barrels per day. The respective average capacity utilisation for KRPC, PHRC and WRPC during the month was 21.68 per cent, 15.79 per cent and 10.94 per cent respectively. In July 2014, when the refineries operated at 22 per cent of their installed capacity, output was 334,000 mt. The average capacity utilisation for KRPC, PHRC and WRPC in the month was 19.40 per cent, 0.00 per cent and 46.71 per cent, respectively. In June 2014, the refineries operated at 10 per cent of their installed capacity, with average capacity utilisation of 0.00 per cent, 17.96 per cent and 13.44 per cent respectively. The country’s refineries have long been operating well below installed capacity as they are in different states of disrepair. They operated at an average of 31.1 per cent capacity in 2012, according to data from the Central Bank of Nigeria.[/b] http://www.punchng.com/business/business-economy/refineries-operated-at-10-5-capacity-in-june-nnpc/ |

NOI has no defence. She does not understand developmental economics. If they ploughed the about $12Billion annually (money being lost to bunkering-400,000 barels per day) and Sanusi's missing $20Billion into the economy, and were sincere with their power reforms adding some MW say extra 2,000 MW, and resuscitating two refineries at least, the economy will not be where it is today. Think about it. The major countries hit badly by the recent oil price decline are Venezuela, Iran, Russia and Nigeria. If you noticed that Nigeria is the outlier on that list, then you are right. Nigeria is the only one not running a socialist welfare state or under foreign sanctions. Gross economic mismanagement and corruption by them NOI got us there. No defence. 2 Likes |
