Am i surpprised!!No northern university offering medicine is mentioned.

A preciouse and unreplacable life is lost,a wife and most probably a mother is violently killed,a human being's life is unjustly and cruelly taken away and some disgusting people come to NL to write rubbish as to why she was killed.Some even suggest because she is a muslim then automatically she is in a polygamous family and is the reason why she is away from her family,what an insinuation.This kind of reasoning coming from the supposedly educated,exposed and knowledgable in our society.Society that is obviousely sick and rotten to the bone.
This woman whatever her creed,tribe,religion only deserves justice and justice comes in form of bringing the culprits to book nothing more nothing less and not the kind of nonsense going on on NL.

Beaf:
You will always abuse because you are empty, sir. It doesn't change easily verifiable facts.

Buhari has spent 90% of his political life being chairman of the NNPC. He formed NNPC into what it is today. Indeed, Buhari was its first head in 1977 during the period corruption set into the oil industry (Decree 33, NNOC & MPR extinguished).
He was also petroleum minister under Obasanjo, PTF chairman under Abacha (whom he claims never stole a penny).
With Buhari under Abacha, there was rampant removal of the "subsidy" and award of importation contracts to cronies, Buhari became the chairman of the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) that disbursed monies accrued from the removal of "subsidies."

So tell me, is Buhari being honest, or is he just flying an ugly populist kite?

In 1978, Buhari was the head of NNPC.

COUNTRY REPORT
NIGERIA
Development: PTF - shining in the gloom
The Petroleum Trust Fund, headed by former President, Gen. Buhari, has confounded all its critics. As a development agency, it has succeeded spectacularly where all others failed. Pini Jason has the details.

The one silver lining to emerge from the current heavy economic cloud must be the performance of the Petroleum (Special) Trust Fund (PTF). In October 1994, General Sani Abacha hiked the pump price of petrol from N3.25 to N11 per litre, promising, with Decree 25, to set up a Petroleum Trust Fund to distribute the gains from the increase on social and infrasturctural projects. The board of the fund, headed by former Head of State, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari, was eventually inaugurated on March 21, 1995.

The Fund began with an initial capital of about N60bn in 1996. Its all encompassing mandate includes the rehabilitation of roads and waterways, educational and health institutions, providing textbooks and stationary, procuring essential drugs and vaccines, providing water supply systems, reviving crumbling agricultural sectors, connecting outlying areas to the national electricity grid, extending railways and telecommunications and ensuring consistent food supply.

The huge budget and all-embracing mandate earned PTF some criticisms. Some dubbed it "the alternative government," accusing it of duplicating the responsibilities of other existing government agencies. There was for instance an initial conflict about who should be tarring which road, between PTF and the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing.

Yet, for once, other Nigerians began to hope that here was an agency that took its work seriously. The question was: could it carry out its entire mandate, or even a part of it? Everyone waited to see what would happen.

Initially PTF awarded contracts for the rehabilitation of 12,000km of federal highways (including drainages) nationwide, and between 25-100km of urban road in major cities such as Gusau, Benin, Funtua, Zaria, Enugu, Kaduna, Aba, Lagos, Lokoja, and Port Harcourt. A N27.3bn contract was awarded for road rehabilitation in the first quarter of 1996. The sum of N1.328bn was awarded to 53 pharmaceutical companies for the supply of drugs, while the importation of vaccines cost N229.9m. As at December 31, 1997, funds available to PTF stood at N115.1bn.

One thing even the most uncharitable critic of PTF will admit is that it has evolved a new way of doing things. This is true to its mission statement which is 'to establish and operate an open, modest and efficient organisation for the purpose of achieving the honest and timely execution of carefully designed socio-economic projects.'

Right from its inception, the Head of State directed the fund to operate a lean bureaucracy. It depends therefore largely on consultants supervised by Afri-Projects Consortium, the management consultant to PTF. This policy has created jobs and boosted the confidence of Nigerian professionals such as architects, engineers and quantity surveyors.

In many other ways, PTF has thrown a lifeline to dying sectors of the economy. Most of Nigeria's pharmaceutical companies were failing, and the foreign multinationals were divesting. But through its drugs procurement programme, PTF has turned the balance sheet of most of them into profit. Equipment and car leasing companies are also benefitting from the multiplier effects of PTF operations.

Banks and insurance companies have also benefited. Nigeria has a history of contractors collecting mobilisation (advance) fees and not carrying out the contract. But not with PTF. Every advance payment up to N10m must be guaranteed by a PTF-approved bank, while other advance payments are covered by performance bonds issued by similarly approved insurance companies. This method, apart from increasing solvency through cash deposits, has created business for banks and insurance companies.

One of the insurance companies that has benefited from PTF as a provider of performance bonds is The United Nigeria Insurance Company (UNIC), a composite insurance company which provides both life and non-life insurance. The total assets of UNIC stood at N979m while it grossed premium income of N916m and settled claims of N263m in 1996. With a staff of 552 spread all over its nationwide branch network, UNIC is today one of the leading insurance company in Nigeria.

Another company that has done good business with PTF is IPWA plc, formerly International Paints (West Africa) Ltd. IPWA is today one of the biggest and most diversified paint manufacturers in Nigeria. The company product range spans automotive paints, building paints, industrial coatings and marine coatings. Others are packaging coatings, protective coatings and wood finishes.

Most PTF contractors, specialist advisers and consultants lease and use computers, fax machines, printers and photocopiers. This has provided a new market for computer companies like Leading Edge Ltd., headed by Mr Tony Edoro, the managing director. Leading Edge is foremost in cloning computers with parts from diverse companies such as US Micro-Generation, IBM Direct, Merisel and Gateway. According to Mr Edoro, a widely experienced computer systems engineer, the advent of PTF has been good for Leading Edge. The company's turnover has grown from N50m in 1995 to well over N100m in 1997.

Apart from energising several sectors of the economy, PTF is also setting the pace in another direction. In the words of Mr Salihijo Ahmad, of Afri-Projects Consortium, the twin objectives of PTF are to "rehabilitate infrastructures and reorientate the people." This the fund does through its insistence on transparency even though some critics still accuse it of lopsidedness in project execution and selection of consultants and contractors.

In a country dogged by lack of transparency, PTF is the first, and perhaps the only public institution in Nigeria to publish its annual accounts. Last year, when he presented the annual report and accounts of 1996, Gen. Buhari promised to present the 1997 accounts before the end of the first quarter of 1998. He fulfilled that promise.

The 1997 account of PTF shows that it disbursed N24.3bn on roads, N21.2bn on security, N7.8bn on health, and N3bn on other projects. Other disbursements include N2.2bn on water supply, N936m on food supply and N476m on education. It realised a total of N1.049bn from various investment activities.

Reviewing the success story of PTF, Gen. Buhari said: "We have consolidated our execution of the take-off projects for the previous year and increased our intervention within the sectors. There is no doubt that the years ahead will witness even more intervention, as reports of some of the studies commissioned are received and project execution commenced."

The fund has embarked on community education to sensitise and enlighten communities of its activities. The idea is to bring recipients closer to the objectives of the fund, so that they can participate in project identification and selection as well as eventual PTF projects in their areas.

One aspect of the overall project that the public has raised an eyebrow over is the Armed Forces PTF. According to Gen. Buhari, PTF is under instruction to allocate 20% of its funds to the armed forces, and another 1% to the Federal Capital Territory. The allocation to the Armed Forces is probably a continuation of a practice that started during Gen. Babangida's time when he used to allocate excess revenue from the projected price of crude directly to the commanding officers. But what worries critics of PTF is that the military is not accountable to anyone regarding its utilisation of funds. Moreover, critics question the wisdom of allocating such a huge chunk to the military (who also usually takes the lion's share of the budget) over and above food supply, education and health. Apart from roads, the allocation to all other sectors does not add up to the Armed Forces PTF allocation.

Nobody knows how long PTF, a purely intensive intervention agency, will last or whether there will be a place for such an agency under a democratic set up. That decision, Gen. Buhari said, will be up to Nigerians. For now his preoccupation is to rehabilitate infrastructure and reorientate the people towards a new, effective and efficient way of executing uninflated contracts without kickbacks and without consuming mobilisation fees. Said Gen. Buhari to PTF contractors: "If you perform well, you get a hand shake. If you perform badly, you get a handcuff."

Fuel subsidy is corruption – Buhari
•Carpets FG over Sovereign Wealth Fund
From AIDOGHIE PAULINUS, Abuja
Thursday, October 20, 2011


More Stories on This Section

A new twist was yesterday added to the crisis trailing the controversial fuel subsidy with former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari, saying it is corruption. Buhari, who was the Federal Commissioner of Petroleum and Natural Resources in 1976, under the military regime of General Olusegun Obasanjo, said that fuel subsidy is one way through which those who are presiding over Nigeria have been taking resources out of the treasury.

He said that there is no such thing as subsidy, saying “it is corruption that they are calling subsidy.” The presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) in the April, 2011 election, who spoke through his spokesman, Yinka Osumakin, noted that in this country, we were refining petroleum, we had four refineries and gradually, they went underground because people are making huge money from the so-called subsidy.

“When you read the papers today (yesterday), you will see that the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) meeting yesterday, ended in a stalemate because of the illegal deduction of the so-called N250 billion subsidy.
“Part of the things they do, is that they bring fuel into this country and when the fuel gets to the port, they allow it to stay there for several days, paying demurrage, which they pass on to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and that is part of what they call subsidy.

“It is a big scam and it is because those people don’t love this country, that is why it is easier for them to do this kind of scam. It is unfortunate and it is a question of corruption.“They should stop deceiving the people by talking about subsidy. There is no such thing in the country today,” Buhari said. The former Head of State, however, said that the way out of the situation is very clear, saying “we must fix our refineries and refine our petroleum products locally.”

Hear him: “There is nothing stopping us in refining petroleum products in Nigeria. In the past, we were refining and exporting refined petroleum products to other countries.“Why must petroleum be landing in Nigeria? Nigeria should be exporting petroleum products to other countries and not the other way round.

“Niger Republic are building refineries now to refine petroleum products. Why can’t Nigeria do that?
“The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) Board of Trustees, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, went to Geneva recently to say that this administration cannot fight corruption. If the government is not deceitful, it won’t be talking about subsidy on oil today.

“It is corruption and so, Nigerians must insist that the oil sector must be run transparently and that we must fix our refineries and refine petroleum products locally and stop this scam of subsidy now and then.”
Buhari also carpeted the Presidency over the Sovereign Wealth Fund, (SWF), saying it is a question of resource sharing and a fact that the Federal Government wants to set up funds in Sovereign Trust which the governors have opposed.
“The governors have made a point that they don’t trust the Federal Government to handle such money and I think it is a fundamental issue because if the governors cannot trust the Federal Government over money, then, how can the people trust the Federal Government?

“In the last two months now, the FAAC meeting had ended in a deadlock over the fact that the Federal Government cannot explain to them what is being generated and what is being deducted. So, once there is no trust in government, then there is no honour. It is a fundamental problem.

“The fears of the governors is genuine about the fact that this is another money that will be set aside and become another Petroleum Development Trust Fund (PTDF) or a slush fund for the Federal Government.“Now that the Federal Government has gone ahead despite the opposition of the governors, that shows that there is more to this than the question of Sovereign Wealth,” Buhari added.

defelix:
slimchase. Wrong statement. Islam are not evil (quoted). then, why are they fostering violent in crisis and other related? Why dont they pray as christians' use to do in time like that? And how come there is violence in all Islam country all over the world?

mexico and columbia are staunchly catholics yet they have violence,congo and uganda too are predominantly christian infact in uganda the name of the rebel group is LORDS RESISTANCE ARMY (LRA).So violence happens everywhere.

Ojukwu's speech is filled with hate and contradiction nothing more.Following are quote's from the speech

(1) ''The Biafran struggle is, on another plane, a resistance to the Arab-Muslim expansionism, which has menaced and ravaged the African continent for twelve centuries''

How did the Arab-muslim expansion take place?was there ever an islamic that came to africa?is it comparable to the pillage,plunder,rape,theft of natural resources of africa the division of the continent itself between the colonial powers and the massacre and slavery that africans had to endure in the hands of european christians.Ojukwu should tell me which Arab or muslim leader did that to Africa.

(2) ''Our Biafran ancestors remained immune from the Islamic contagion. From the middle years of the last century Christianity was established in our land. In this way we came to be a predominantly Christian people. We came to stand out as a non-Muslim island in a raging Islamic sea. Throughout the period of the ill-fated Nigerian experiment, the Muslims hoped to infiltrate Biafra by peaceful means and quiet propaganda, but failed. Then the late Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto tried, by political and economic blackmail and terrorism, to convert Biafrans settled in Northern Nigeria to Islam. His hope was that these Biafrans of dispersion would then carry Islam to Biafra, and by so doing give the religion political control of the area. The crises, which agitated the so-called independent Nigeria from 1962, gave these aggressive proselytisers the chance to try converting us by force''.

Ojukwu is being dishonest by refusing to acknowledge the arrival of christianity with the coming of europeans,Did christianity just drop from the sky,no.It was brought by the europeans.The same europeans he castigates in the quote 3 below.


(3) ''Ever since the 15th Century, the European world has treated the African continent as a field for exploitation. Their policies in Africa have for so long been determined to a very great extent by their greed for economic gain. For over three and half centuries, it suited them to transport and transplant millions of the flower of our manhood for the purpose of exploiting the Americas and the West Indies. They did so with no uneasiness of conscience. They justified this trade in men by reference to biblical passages violently torn out of context,  This brutal and unprecedented violation of a whole continent was a violent challenge to Negro self-respect''.

The answers to quote 1 and 2 is given in quote 3.

Beaf:
Would you rather trust an ECA that was Obj's whim than a vehicle that is fully backed by law with checks and balances about what goes in, where, when and how it went in? And the same about what comes out, to who, why, when and where? All signed and stamped.
The SWF will not be there for governors to demand for as it was in the past with the illegal ECA. It also won't be there for anyone to dip their fingers into without records, this time we have a properly set up financial vehicle with the i's dotted and the t's crossed.

Of course, it might be possible for a smart guy to defraud the system, but it will be a one off, not the everyday "oil money is free" nonsense we have become used to.

I am afraid you have not allayed my fears.Checks and balances abound everywhere in Nigeria,National assembly,anti-corruption agencies,regulatory orgarnizations,EFCC,NAFDAC,SON,ICPC name them.Nothing's left undotted or uncrossed in our  books, infact their a saying that Nigeria has got the best polices and implementation is our headache.Sorry but you've not shown me the silver bullet that will convince me the SWF wont be abused.To quote you ''it might be possible for a smart guy to defraud the system,''.I geuss youve said it all.

Beaf:
Illegality is the only thing being sacrificed. There were no laws governing the past structure (Excess Crude), therefore it was considered illegal by all comers.
The governors on the other hand saw this as a free for all to demand and divide, because the constitution has loopholes that entitles them to the ECA money; therefore, the country could never make any real savings or foreign investments.

The shiny brand new SWF is fully ring-fenced from any greedy paws by law (hence the governors are upset) and ties very neatly into the other economic and strategic plans of the FG, notably the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB).
One of the principal thrusts of the PIB is to break up the NNPC into several units that will all generate profits, rather than being the current budgetry sinkholes they are. One of the units of the split NNPC will be a drilling and prospecting company that will vie for business (prospecting, drilling and refining) across the Globe; much of such forays will be initially financed by the SWF; when the company is properly up and running, some of its profits will serve to drive the SWF.

The above is just a small example from the oil sector alone. Along with GEJ's new local content laws, we will see oil begin to work for the country for the first time in our 51 year history. Before now Shell and its likes simply drilled whatever quantity of oil they wanted, gave us any figure for number of barrels drilled, got paid without Nigerian involvement and that what it.
Slaves in our own land.

The SWF will help power all sorts of investments in every kind of field. Nigeria could, for example, invest in a high tech chip manufacturing plant in Hong Kong and filter the technology back home; we could even use our fund as aggressively as the Chinese use theirs and wholly buy up high tech companies all over the Globe. Before you know it, Nigeria would be a developed nation. We have the money to buy that for ourselves, in fact we have had it for decades, its just that we have also lacked visionary leaders for decades.

Well done GEJ, we be luv'n the Fresh Air!

Knowing your propensity to defend GEJ even when he is caught red handed stealing meat from the proverbial soup pot, i initially had misgivings as i began reading your piece about the defence of GEJ's new pet project the SWF.As i read further,the doubt i had was gradually erased by the logical reasoning  you presented behind setting up of the SWF.One that i identified with is the halt to the sharing of the ECA.Sound as the SWF may be, one salient issue is thrown up,TRUST.How can the Nigerian masses TRUST, the SWF will not be another conduit pipe,TRUST, investments are viable,TRUST, they will not be used to invest in companies that will later be sold cheaply to top government officials in the name of privatization,TRUST,earnings got from investment are ploughed back and not embezzled etc.Enlighten us.

Ayatollah Buhari Bin Laden's pre-election threats of violence if the polls didn't go his way, followed by the pre-meditated massacre of election officials in Nigeria's Islamic northern dust-bowl, amount to a simple cause and effect sequential chain of events that is solidly corroborated by readily available forensic and documentary evidence.

It is now time for the findings of Nigerian government investigators to be shared with Interpol and with the International Court of Justice located in The Hague, so that global arrest warrants can be issued for Ayatollah Buhari Bin Laden, to facilitate his timely take-down, trial and lifetime incarceration for genocide and sectarian incitement.    The caging of that blood-thirsty Jihadist cretin, Buhari, would be of IMMENSE lasting benefit to the West African sub-region, and indeed to world peace.

Please, President Goodluck Jonathan, kick off this urgent process, and let it be done with once and for all.

Chatam house london invited Gen.Buhari for a lecture,as well as another lecture at Oxford.Recently AMERICAN ASSOCIATIO OF UNIVERSITY WOMEN conferred on him the legacy ambassador's award,Buhari was the only Ex-Nigerian leader invited to attend President Obama's inauguration.This are just few examples of international recognition Buhari has recieved.Yet you sit wherever you are blinded by hatred and type shit out of your anus spraying it all over NL.I tell you what,it stinks just like your opinions.

The Makurdi railway massacre of easterners thought to be Igbos in the 1960s is simply historical and has nothing to do current US attempt to warn travelling citizens of danger spots across Nigeria today. Do you have a problems differentiating the two instances?

NO,you are the one having problems to understand that in today's globalized and technology savvy world you dont have to be physically present to witness to happenings.Moreover dont you know their embassies observe and report all that goes on in the country.

naijaking1:
The US warning is not updated like those on the ground.

I am sure yuou were on the groungd when the makurdi massacre took place cause to quote your own words ''The famous story of Markurdi railway road massacre''it was a story you must have heared or come across somehow.Now because the US travell ban sheds bad light on the south you choose to ridicule them by saying they are not on the ground.Hypocracy at it's best.

Only Three states in the entire  North and four  in the Niger Delta and three in SE in order words a total of seven states in entire south were deemed dangerouse for US citizens to travel to. Part of the statement is as follows ''The U.S. Department of State warns U.S. citizens of the risks of travel to Nigeria, and continues to recommend U.S. citizens avoid all but essential travel to the Niger Delta states of Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Delta, and Rivers; the Southeastern states of Abia, Edo, Imo; the city of Jos in Plateau State, Bauchi and Borno States in the northeast''

PointB:
lol, na so I see am oo. Some foolish men will jump in front of bullet train to stop what will be.
I can and will only laugh at such stupidity.

Core North is been gradually isolated; mass murder, intimidation, threat, sharia, boko haram etc, have all proven a failed strategy. Soon they will beg others groups for an SNC.

Talk of isolating the North,when the US Government released a travel alert to its citizens restrict their visits to some states in nigeria only two northern states were mention the rest were in the south.If you ignore or wish away the problems in south the white man will not play to tribal gallery.The mass kidnappings,violation of women on southern campuses,cultism on southern campuses even a Nobel lauret was a founding member of a cult,the armed banditry going on etcTry and be objective.

Nigeria is a result of colonialism not the wishes of the variouse components that make up this country.Never once in our history have we sat down to decide our very coexistance.I believe we have fooled ourselves this far and it's high time we stop that and convene a sovereign National conference.Yes,as extreme as that may sound it's better we separate like the sudan than fight like in rwanda.Into how many parts Nigeria may break into is left for guessing.One thing is definate the following regions would be on their own.SW comprising the yoruba states including kwara,SS,SE,Mid.Belt and the North.May God guide us.

Goodluck Nigeria

What Lord Lugard thought about Nigerians
I came across this article. Quite annoying!!

"In character and temperament, the typical African of this race-type is a happy, thriftless, excitable person. Lacking in self control, discipline, and foresight. Naturally courageous, and naturally courteous and polite, full of personal vanity, with little sense of veracity, fond of music and loving weapons as an oriental loves jewellery. His thoughts are concentrated on the events and feelings of the moment, and he suffers little from the apprehension for the future, or grief for the past. His mind is far nearer to the animal world than that of the European or Asiatic, and exhibits something of the animals’ placidity and want of desire to rise beyond the State he has reached. Through the ages the African appears to have evolved no organized religious creed, and though some tribes appear to believe in a deity, the religious sense seldom rises above pantheistic animalism and seems more often to take the form of a vague dread of the supernatural"


“He lacks the power of organization, and is conspicuously deficient in the management and control alike of men or business. He loves the display of power, but fails to realize its responsibility , he will work hard with a less incentive than most races. He has the courage of the fighting animal, an instinct rather than a moral virtue, In brief, the virtues and defects of this race-type are those of attractive children, whose confidence when it is won is given ungrudgingly as to an older and wiser superior and without envy, Perhaps the two traits which have impressed me as those most characteristic of the African native are his lack of apprehension and his lack of ability to visualize the future."

---Lord Frederick John Dealty Lugard, The Dual Mandate, pg.70 (1926)"
