If I have problem with my car, I first google it out before taking it to a mechanic, to be sure he knows what to do. This strategy helps me a lot in cutting cost. Because I know what to expect. You can not charge me for HIV treatment when I know my ailment supposed to be malaria.

A filling station is a facility that sells fuel and engine lubricants for motor vehicles

Thank you for the clarification, that guy over sabi, almost got me into confusion.

Short but powerful

Ok, Kachikwu seems to be working for IPOB. The guy just cooked-up figures to tarnish the image of NNPC in particular and the administration in general. I hope he would be sanctioned, he is the real insubbordinator. I think the Kachikwu guy is suffering from the hang over of the privilege done to him by Mr. President to allow him been the GMD as well as the minister of state for petroleum at the same time. After effect of Alpha & Omega thing syndrome affecting him.

Atiku case na DOA

Which money miss?
Wailers like skewing things. Kachikwu did not say money is missing, he said contracts are awarded not money stolen.

Hmmm !
Jubril smiling

Investigation first

Ok

Good.
Jubril is getting fresher.
When Buhari no attend FEC meeting it becomes a news for wailers, now he presides FEC meeting, they are asking how is it a news.
Wailers you no go kill person.

Gbam!

Kai!, which one be Lai Mohammed's ministry again. Can't you just say ministry of information? Must you attach person name to the ministry or is the ministry his personal property? Just to show that you are after the person of Lai Mohammed. Na wao!

Chai! And how much distribution companies would pay for bringing estimated crazy bills.?

Yes, very clearly wailer

Ok

For those asking what Baba has achieved in Two years and cares to read:

The last two years have been filled with ups and downs. OLUKOREDE YISHAU chronicles the things that have not remained the same since President Muhammadu Buhari took the saddle.

Dynamites were thrown. Grenades caused chaos. Gunshots rented the air. The scenes were Niger Delta. The victims were not human-beings but oil facilities – strategic ones for that matter. And the effects on oil production and export were not only huge and scary, but was costly. The economy bled and needed oxygen to be on the path of recovery.

Settling down to business, President Muhammadu Buhari and his team put up their thinking cap. The grievances of those blowing up the pipelines must be addressed. His deputy, Yemi Osinbajo, a professor of Law and now acting President, went from one creek to the other, preaching peace.

He visited oil-producing communities, listened to the people and spelt out the Federal Government’s commitment as captured in the ‘New Vision for the Niger Delta’. The vision has answers to the 16-point Demand Agenda submitted to President Buhari by the Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) in November, last year.

Thanks to the New Vision, the Nigerian Maritime University in Delta State is set to commence operation, additional N35 billion was approved for the Presidential Amnesty Programme, approval has been granted for the establishment of Modular Refineries across the nine Niger Delta states and work has resumed on abandoned projects in the oil-rich region, including the East-West Road.

The engagements with the Niger Delta and the Organisation of Oil Exporting Countries (OPEC) have helped to raise oil revenues to the extent that external reserves have grown by about $7 billion in the last six months. Some $87 million have also been added to the Excess Crude Account and $250 million to the Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF).

The engagement with OPEC involved rallying the organisation and Non-OPEC members to discuss stabilisation of the global oil market in Doha and in Algiers. This led to an exemption from the OPEC production freeze and rise in oil prices to $55/pb, for the first time in 16 months.



Unlocking the potentials

The Buhari administration has leveraged on its goodwill to attract multi-billion investments and loans from China and Morocco. Buhari’s April 2016 visit to China unlocked billions of dollars in infrastructure funding and construction has started on the 150km/hour rail line between Lagos and Ibadan, the first major product of the collaboration.

One other potential-unlocking strategy the administration has come up with is the National Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (NERGP). Launched in April, it charts a course for the economy over the next four years.

The NERGP, according to the Federal Government, is to restore economic growth, invest in Nigerians, and to build a globally competitive economy. It plans to achieve these objectives by giving priority to agriculture, power, macro-economy, energy efficiency, transportation infrastructure and driving industrialisation through Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs).

As part of efforts to unlock the country’s potentials, power reform is being done. This has led to the launch of the N701 billion Payment Assurance Programme to guarantee payments to generating companies and gas suppliers.

The Power Sector Recovery Programme, which was launched in March, has been endorsed by the World Bank.

Another potential of the country, which was held down for years, is the capacity of the refineries. It has received serious attention in the last two years. Now, the total amount of crude being refined by the three refineries in Port Harcourt, Warri and Kaduna is now 10 million barrels. It was eight million barrels in 2015.

Agriculture and solid minerals have gotten their groves back. The sector grew by 4.11 per cent last year. Solid minerals recorded a seven per cent increase. The contribution of the Ministry of Solid Minerals to the Federation Account tripled to about N2 billion in 2016 up from N700 million in 2015.



Other positives

Despite the low oil prices at the international market, the country’s external reserves have grown by $7 billion since October last year; the Excess Crude Account has seen an inflow of $87 million and $500 million has been added to the Sovereign Wealth Fund, which represents the first inflows since the original $1 billion with which the Fund started in 2012.

The Anchor Borrowers Programme (ABP) of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and a soil map designed to aid fertilizer application has raised local production of grains. It has produced a model agricultural collaboration between Lagos and Kebbi states. The country’s rice imports fell from 580,000 MT in 2015 to 58,000MT last year.

A partnership between Nigeria and Morocco – Presidential Fertiliser Initiative – has resulted in the revitalisation of 11 blending plants. Through the initiative.

HAH:
The rigging has already started from the time table why conduct presidential election first, why not bottom up, start from governors then presidency.

As it is the timetable is designed in a way the governors most work for the presidents victory if not their own election too is at stake since it wasn't conducted

Na today e start?

The guy showing the picture of what will happen to you if you shout SAI BABA in a fuel queue, is leaving in the past, because at present BABA don clear all the queue, it has become history. Now na the filling stations dey queue for customers begging them to come and buy fuel.
Carry go BABA till 2023.

We shall storm the red chambers soon. Go and listen to your party Dear Dino, Ndume, and Yerima, You can even sleep in Saraki house in solidarity. We are not bothered. But you should know that the gentle stride of a tiger is not a symbol of cowardice. Dear wailers, You should commend PMB for allowing EFCC to do their job without interference. Though most of you are far away from your brain, it takes courage to interrogate a party man. Dear President Buhari, Keep doing it 109 vulnerable adults cannot distract us. We the nomadic almajiri is in total solidarity with you and we your blind followers as they call us are satisfied. Keep leading us".

MikeBetty:
I said It Before And Will Still Say It. FG messed up. Invading His House Without Any Legal Authorization, Like Court Surmon Created This Accusations And Denials. FG filed for revocation of Kanu's Bail Without Waiting For Court To Determine It Or At Worst Wait For Him At The Court Premises For His Rearrest. The Speed They Proscribe Before Going To Court To Obtain Order Show A Gray Area Somewhere. Did His Father Also Hide Or Is It El Zakzaly Treatment? He Is To Appear Before The tCourt Next Month, Why The Rush?

That's what we call military strategy, you don't wait for an enemy (terrorists) to get ready before you act. You take them un expected.

Don't worry, he is being taken care of by the government, just like zakzacky. The Shiites have wailed tire, so also the IPOB will. But IPOB case has been worsened by the sealing of the proscription of the group as a terrorist group. So chill.
