Na wa for nija. Pls my brothers and sisters try and be brief as much as possible whenever you are in the bank premises.

CBN alerts banks on terrorist attack
Collins Nweze and Nduka
Chiejina, Lagos
ALL banks in the country have been
thrown into very high security alert
following the advise of the National
Security Adviser that banks have been targeted by
terrorist.
A private and confidential letter to all bank chief
executives in the country by the Central Bank of
Nigeria (CBN) warned all bank chiefs that the apex
bank has "received security alert from the office of
the National Security Adviser (NSA) indicating the
possibility of planned attacks on banks operating in
some parts of the country.
The letter identified the terrorists as "a group that
has been involved in recent spate of bombings and
violent confrontations with security agencies".
The letter to the bank CEOs dated January 12, 2011
and signed by one Ahmad Abdullahi on behalf of
the Director, banking supervision of the CBN, said,
"according to security alert, the threat profile is an
indication that the group is in dire need of funds for
a major operation".
The NSA through the CBN then warned that there
is "the possibility that banks’ buildings and bullion
vans used for cash movement particularly in the
Northeast or Abuja could be targeted through the
use of Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) and
suicide bombings".
The NSA and the CBN noted that they learnt that
"the planned offensive is to enable the group
acquire funds for the operations as well as
embarrass the Federal Government".
Based on these threats, the NSA urged all banks
"to take note, be vigilant and put in place adequate
security measures to neutralise such threats or
forestall any attack". In addition "all suspicious
persons, movements and unidentified or concealed
parcels or bags are to be reported to the relevant
security agencies for appropriate action".

Seriously, why should the man be laughing knowing fully well that Nigerians are languishing in poverty and unemployment. As an ex-leader(dictator), he ought to be sober and sorry at all times for the mayhem he unleashed on me,my friends and Nigerians. God pls punish this man. Amen.

A man that should be in jail for bad governance for more than eight years keeps laughing at every instance. A man that took over OTA FARM built by the federal government to actualize its program "OPERATION FEED THE NATION", why is he laughing? These crooks are lucky that the likes of hamza almustapha is still in jail,cos he would have caged and summarily executed all of those pdp theives/idiots at eagle square. PDP(poverty development party).

^^^^^^^^^^

Beaf ke?

But sincerely i somehow dont find this veiled attacks funny. We know that there have been some security concerns lately and politics is the primary fuel.

Sorry if i sounded too direct but since Atiku made the mistake of attempting to score cheap political point when people mourned the 31st barracks bomb blast, it hurts me if another atiku fan tries to play same card.

Point of correction,am not an atiku supporter neither am I a gej supporter. Both are birds of same feather as they've been flocking together. Pdp is an occult and led by lucifer/devil himself. And God must triumph over satan, so it is clear that pdp has lost because the devil which they represent will continue to lose.
I made an observation which u ought to contribute positively or u just ignore the thread like u didn't see it. Am sick of people trying to "gej or atiku" almost every comment on nairaland. Abeg free me. Fimile.

For me, the level of insecurity in the country was demonstrated at the eagle square during the PDP national convention. It is alarming to provide a staggering 40000 personnel in and around the eagle square for the security of about 3500 pdp delegates. This indices means a ratio of approximately 12 security personnel to one delegate. Those comprising the security personnel include but not limited to 17000 police, 5000 soldiers, 5000 road safety officials,3500 manOwar, 2500 SSS and about 7000 civil defence corps.
What this means is that for 150millions nigerians to be really secure, about 2.0 billion security personnel ought to be in place. This sounds sooooo ridiculous.

Dampening the growing enthusiasm over Jonathan’s
presidential campaign is the new revelation of the
PDP Chairman’s subtle switch on the zoning issue
having to do with his intimate connections to one of
the PDP presidential aspirants, Atiku. As gathered
through a letter written to the Independent National
Electoral Commission [INEC] on April 19th 2007 by
the National Administrative Secretary [Alhaji
Abubakar Suleiman] of the then Action Congress
subtitled “INTRODUCING FIVE MAN DELEGATION TO
THE NATIONAL ELECTION RESULT COLLATION
CENTER”. The letter placed Nwodo, the current PDP
chairman as one of the trusted Atiku men during the
2007 election against the Late Yar’Adua/Jonathan
campaign.
The letter reads in part “This is to introduce to you
five man delegation that will represent our Party
Action Congress [AC] at the National Election Result
Collation Center [INEC]. They are:
1. Chief Tom Ikimi – leader of delegation
2. Bashsir Dalhatu
3. Chief Yomi Edu
4. Dr. Okwesilieze Nwodo
5. Lai Mohammed
Please accept the assurances of our highest esteem.
Alhaji Abubakar Suleiman, National Administrative
Secretary - for National Secretary”

Nwodo was atiku's returning officer under the action congress in the 2007 presidential elections.

ola olabiy:
What are you talking about? The same petrobras that issued shares of $67billion recently. It is their national oil company man.

Theophilus ko, Mathew ni.

The interest of that company in Nigeria has all to do with danjuma. Remember they partnered with danjuma in his oil block.

I used to know petrobras as a company belonging to General T.Y Danjuma(rtd). These people should stop deceiving us.

semidaraeb:
@mai,do u realise u have a problem all u people on NL ever do is abuse and criticise,now if Jonathan did not reply you people will say yes he is a senseless and clueless person now he replies you say you cant read a fourteen page reply, Atiku's letter to Jonathan was 10 or 11 pages cant remb. Exactly, pls it not compulsory for you to say anything, you can just read what is on the thread and walk away which is what i do most times because i have come to realise that 80% of people on. NL Political section just comment for the sake of making comments, on election day i wonder how many of u will actually go out there to vote, mind you all the noise we make here are not getting to 90% of Nigerians who will vote on election day, so pls respect the president and Atiku whether they are clueless or not, they are not age mates or contemporaries in what ever way or form and this goes to all NL after all you cannot call you parents dumbass, idots,clueless and what have you etc.

Ok understood. But should I say his response is clueless and senseless. Not his person.

I know petrobras as Theophilus Danjuma's company. Chei,these people have built refineries abroad instead of in Nigeria, thereby denying jobs to Nigerians and exporting our cash. Now they want to start exporting our crude oil for free. This nation is heading for doom.

thenationonlineng.net/web3/mobile/news/23894.html

The Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)
is to begin marketing of refined oil to the United
States(U.S), Brazil and other parts of the world to
boost the revenue base of the corporation.
Its Group Managing Director Mr Austen Oniwon,
stated this in Brasilia on Wednesday.
He said the corporation, which hitherto had been
exporting crude oil to the U.S., had concluded
arrangements with Brazil’s Oil company, Petrobras,
toward the realisation of this objective.
He said the NNPC had since indicated its interest to
invest in Petrobras’s plan to expand its refinery in
Texas, U.S., from 100,000 barrels to 200,000
barrels per day.
"We indicated to them our interest to partner with
the company to have an outlet into American
market instead of exporting just crude to the
American market.
"We can take Nigerian crude, which is also going
into American market anyway, into this refinery,
process and sell as value added product into the
American market.
"This is something that is going to be beneficial to
NNPC and Nigeria as a country," he said.
Oniwon told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that
the NNPC and Petrobras had concluded discussion
to enter into a relationship in the areas of oil
exploration and production, refining and petro-
chemical, oil marketing and trading, gas and power
development as well as research and development.
He said officials of Petrobras would be coming to
Nigeria in February to sign a Memoranda of
Understanding (MOU) with the NNPC for the take
off of the partnership.
"They (Petrobras) hope that we will be able to
jointly explore the vast hydro carbon deposit in
Nigeria especially in the deep offshore since the
MOU is going to embrace worldwide operations.
"As partners, we will be able to join Petrobas to
operate in their businesses and share their assets
outside Nigeria," he added.
The GMD said he hoped that the MoU would also
enable Nigeria to develop its gas sector for the
smooth operation of the various power plants being
constructed in the country.
According to him, President Goodluck Jonathan has
focused on the development of power plants in
Nigeria and most of these would be driven by gas.
He, therefore, stressed the need for Nigeria to
develop its gas sub-sector, primarily for domestic
consumption to power the power sector.
Oniwon also said he was optimistic that the MoU
would address the challenges of infrastructural
deficiencies in the nation’s oil and gas sector.
"We need partners because the infrastructure that
is going to deliver this gas to the various power
plants is inadequate at the moment and their
provision is going to cost a lot of money.
"But with the new government policy whereby the
cost of power has been reviewed upward, it has
made business and investments in gas project very
lucrative
"We believe that Petrobras will be eager to join
with NNPC to develop the gas resources primarily
for domestic use and for export because they are
also short of gas in Brazil," he said.

This jonathan of a man is completely clueless and senseless. This long script is a deliberate move to confuse Nigerians, but I refuse to be confused. What is this man borrowing borrowing borrowing for?!!!!HABA.

Goodthief Jonathan's goodwill message/dollars indeed. This woman is accepting bribe on behalf of her husband. Jonathan's goodwill message we all know is 10 million dollars cash. Keep sharing the money goodthief jonathan, but u and ur cohorts Atiku won't get our vote.

What would have been the response of nairalanders and nigerians if the message was from the later. Let's assume some northern youth association threathens war if atiku is denied power come 2011.

Like fellow nairalanders,I laugh loudly in fulani.
