Ebbunwa:Okada riders, street urchins, agberos, truck pushers and the likes. u will never see any ibo person with an income or shop(no matter how small that shop is)will go out there and protest. they are all busy doing something serious for themselves. |
Baba i beg to disagree with you on this. its not just saboteurs on gas pipeline networks but you should majorly deal with this HAWKS,VAMPIRES,WEREWOLF'S, and THIEFS in the power sector. the gas sector don't really have issues par say but frantic efforts from all stakeholders and investors alike to put in their best.(gas pricing system comes to play) my 2 cents. |
PunkyVeer:nice one and I love this assertion. |

@OP,

Tupac Shakur who was supposedly killed at the age of 25 is now admitting he has been hiding this whole time.It was Shakur who in 1996 was reportedly attending a special event in Las Vegas, the Mike Tyson-Benson fight, and then afterwards was brutally murdered. A day or so later he is autopsied, then quickly cremated. There is no funeral. Nor is there any record of a tribute or memorial. Now we know exactly why it was because Tupac Shakur was never killed it is unclear why he has been hiding. He finally returned from Cuba after a long journey of 19 years and spoke to medias about all the time he was hiding, what he was doing there and much more.. This story is still under development but Tupac has already been spotted with Celebrities. On Me Against the World, the 1995 album from Tupac Shakur, the prodigious rapper foretells his death. “I’m having visions of leaving here in a hearse/ God can ya feel me?/ Take me away from all the pressure/ and all the pain/ show me some happiness again,” he raps on “So Many Tears.” Eighteen months later, while riding in the passenger seat under the iridescent glow of the Las Vegas strip with Marion “Suge” Knight at the wheel, Tupac was gunned down and mortally wounded. Or was he? Here’s how his death supposedly went down. Just past 11 p.m. on September 7, 1996, at the intersection of Flamingo Road and Koval Lane (then just a few steps from the Maxim Hotel), Tupac and Knight were idle at a red light when a white Cadillac rolled up to the passenger side and opened fire. Tupac, whose career had been on a steep ascent since getting out of prison the year before, was hit four times; one bullet critically punctured his lung. Knight, for the most part, was unharmed. A week later, on September 13, while on life-support in the critical care unit at the University Medical Center of Southern Nevada, the 25-year-old rap phenom died from internal bleeding. The drive-by shooting was reported to be gang-related, spurred by a physical altercation involving Tupac, Knight, and Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson, a Crip gang affiliate from Compton, the night of September 7. (A 2011 investigation by the FBI showed several threats were also made on the rapper’s life by the Jewish Defense League). Dr. Ed Brown, the Clark County coroner investigator, determined Tupac’s death a homicide. ” I found no apparent life signs,” he detailed in his report, “and trauma was observed to the right hand, right hip and right chest under the right arm, apparently caused from gunshots.” Tupac was pronounced dead at 4:03 p.m. on Friday, September 13, 1996. But if the old saying is true, legends never truly die—perhaps quite literally in Tupac’s case. The Most Common Questions Surrounding Tupac’s Death The picture above, said to be the last photo taken before the shooting, raises two interesting questions: If Tupac was shot on 9/7/96, why does the photo indicate it was taken on 9/8/96? Why are there no keys in the car’s ignition? 14 shots were fired, four of which hit Tupac. Knight, who is a considerably large man (around 6’4, 260 pounds) was not hit once. He was said to have sustained minimal injures from bullet fragments, but no serious wounds were recorded. Did Knight mastermind the shooting? (Believe what you will, but nobody’s luck is that good.) Since being shot at Quad Recording Studios on November 30, 1994, Pac wore a bullet-proof vest almost everywhere. It seems odd, on such a high profile night, that he’d forego protection. The BMW from the photo does not match the BMW from the police investigation video. The shooters were never found. As one former Outlawz member noted in a 2014 National Geographic documentary that explored Tupac’s still unsolved murder, “This is America. We found Bin Laden.” So why has it been so difficult to find the men who shot Tupac? What are the police not telling us? The streets of Las Vegas are typically jam-packed—with an assortment of cars, people, and entertainers trying to earn a living. Tupac was shot two hours after the Mike Tyson/Bruce Seldon fight, and the streets, the strip especially, were likely congested with traffic that night. And yet, nobody spotted the white Cadillac? The official coroner’s report lists Tupac as 72 inches tall (6 feet) and 215 pounds. But the rapper’s driver’s license identifies him as 5’10 and 168 pounds. Afeni Shakur (Tupac’s mother) and medical staff are the only people who saw the rapper once he was admitted into the hospital. Years later, in a video interview, Afeni says, “In the end, he chose to leave quietly.” What did she mean by “leave quietly”? Was she implying Tupac had a hand in his removal from the spotlight? Tupac was reportedly cremated, and the man who cremated him retired after doing so. He has not been seen since, which, at the very least, is a little suspicious. Since Tupac’s death, seven albums have been released under his name, more than when he was alive. (All the tracks were said to be recorded before his death, but that seems questionable at best.) So, Is Tupac Really Dead? If we are to follow the reasoning provided by the above Yahoo message board user (we are!), then certain developments within the last few months add up perfectly. Here are some facts: In December 2014, President Obama restored “full diplomatic relations with Cuba,” easing “restrictions on remittances, travel and banking” between the US and Cuba. Tupac’s aunt is Assata Shakur, the political activist and former Black Liberation Army member who escaped prison and fled to Cuba after she was convicted for the 1977 murder of a New Jersey State Trooper. She has been living in Cuba since 1984, where she was granted political asylum. Kendrick Lamar’s new album To love-vendor a Butterfly, released March 16 (1 + 6 = 7!) of this year, features a conversation between the two rappers on the final track, “Mortal Man.” Powerade’s new “Rose From Concrete” campaign uses Tupac’s vocals. You’re thinking, what does all of this have in common? Tupac’s continued existence on this earth. Proof Tupac Is Alive (and Most Likely Living in Cuba) Tupac was the consummate rap artist: overflowing with steely bravado, wildly intelligent, beloved by those who knew him best, and lyrically assertive and self-aware on tape. A platinum-selling political provocateur, he was a true rap iconoclast. His legend, even before the night of September 7, was already written into the history books. He was, as Vibe editor Alan Light said in November 1996, the only rapper who “had come to embody all contradictions and confusion that have grown up around hip-hop.” Pac was a public enigma—a man you could never grasp completely, even as he stood right in front of you. “[H]is life was about juggling plums while bullets nipped at his ankles,” Danyel Smith wrote in the introduction to the 1997 book, Tupac Shakur. “It was about defiance, women, paranoia, ego, and anger—and going out in a blaze of what he imagined to be glory.” No musical artist—not Jay Z, Eminem, or Kanye West—has captured the attention of the public quite like Tupac, who played both villain and hero with a certain tattooed aplomb. Even now, he is your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper (see: Kendrick Lamar). So it is understandable, maybe even expected, that fans believe Tupac, arguably the biggest cultural and artistic force of the last 25 years, is still alive. Not even bullets could stop this larger-than-life man. So, my theory: Overwhelmed by fame and seeking “happiness again” (as he yearned for on “So Many Tears”), Tupac faked his death and fled to Cuba to stay with his aunt, Assata. Free from the reach of American media and 90’s rap beef, Tupac knew he’d be safe and go mostly undetected in the one place the US government wanted nothing to do with. As the rapper began to re-emerge last year—anticipating Obama’s move to open diplomatic channels to Cuba before the end of his presidency—Tupac put monetary safeguards in place. After 18 years away, the rapper’s funds were nearly depleted, so he sold audio rights to Interscope (the label that released Lamar’s album) and Coca-Cola (the company that owns Powerade) to ensure his financial survival. It all makes perfect sense, really. As more details have emerged in the last decade, fans and conspiracy theorists have scrutinized September 7, 1996 and the series of events surrounding the shooting with greater resolve. Maybe celebrity really was too much to bear, many have speculated, and Tupac faked his death (In a 2012 radio interview, Knight suggested that Tupac was still alive. “Nobody seen Tupac dead,” he said). Maybe the police are covering up some bigger truth none of us can handle. Or maybe it was Knight who masterminded the attack, hoping to profit from the rapper’s passing. Whatever the answer, one certainty persists: the night’s events did not happen as we’ve long been told. http://nigeriacamera.net/tupac-shakur-is-alive-he-returned-from-cuba-2015-conspiracy-explained/ [img][/img]

A major labour crisis is unfolding at the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company over an alleged fraudulent allocation of outrageous salaries and perks to a few officials. While a privileged few draw as high as N36 million a month from the public liability company that is operating on deficit, majority of equally qualified and even more critical staff absorbed from the previous government-owned Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN, receive peanut, PREMIUM TIMES has found. After the privatisation of PHCN, the Nigerian government retained substantial stake in the distribution companies, including the Abuja DISCO. This means the government is entitled to part of the profit. But this must happen only after operation cost of the company, comprising of overhead and personnel cost, are deducted. For the past two years, the company recorded only losses instead, but at the same time paid outrageous salaries to a select few. The chairperson of the board takes home N36 million a month, while a staff with Ordinary National Diploma, OND, takes home as high as N1.9 million monthly. While this select few rip the firm off, majority of the key staff retained from PHCN are paid between N50, 000 to N150, 000. According to the company’s financial statement prepared by KPMG as at December 31, 2014, the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company’s revenue increased from N36.01 billion in 2013 to N48.1 billion. Yet, the company declared a higher loss of N25.61 billion in 2014, up from N13.37 billion in 2013. Notwithstanding the loss, the company’s administrative expenditure nearly doubled – from N13.67 billion in 2013 to N24.93 billion in 2014. The board chairman, Siyanga Malumo, who received N5.67 million as salary monthly in 2013, had his pay reviewed by over 640.7 percent, to N36.33million, according to the report obtained by PREMIUM TIMES. Six directors who received between N3.5million and N4million a month in 2013 also got a raise to between N145 million and N150 million annual pay. Within the year, N719.7million was also spent on “salaries and other short-term benefits to key management personnel compensation”. Whiff of fraud After the privatization of PHCN, about 3,601 former workers of the defunct company were re-engaged on November 1, 2013, by the new firm. The workers were retained mostly as casual staff. The Abuja distribution company recruited another set of employees in 2014, either as permanent or contract staff. Although the company’s approved salary structure obtained by PREMIUM TIMES ranged between N47, 186.80 for the least paid staff on grade level JS1 step 1, and N1.137.069.17 for the highest paid official on grade level EG1, some categories of staff received far ahead of those allocations. The payroll reflects a huge disparity in favour of the new employees. Although most of the new employees lack technical competence and practical experience, they were made to pocket between N1.2 million and N1.9 million per month, PREMIUM TIMES found. Their colleagues from PHCN receive between N50, 000 and N200, 000 per month, irrespective of qualification and experience. Only a few of the older workers earn N200, 000 and above. The huge disparity in salary between the different categories of workers is fuelling discontent in the company. Public or private firm? Abuja Electricity Distribution Company is one of the 11 successor power distribution companies (DISCOs) of PHCN. It was created to undertake electricity distribution activities and related business in Niger, Kogi and Nasarawa states and the Federal Capital Territory. The company is owned 60 percent by KANN Utility Company Limited, a joint venture between Xerxes Global Investment Ltd, CEC Africa Investment Ltd and Abuja Electricity Distribution Plc. The Nigerian Government still controls 40 percent of the company through the Bureau of Public Enterprises, which has 32 percent, and the Ministry of Finance which owns eight percent. Prior to the power sector privatization exercise, BPE had disengaged over 4,000 former PHCN employees on October 31, 2013, as part of the winding down process. The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, the electricity sector regulatory agency, said AEDC was later allowed to re- engage about 3,601 of the workers for an initial contract period of six months. Details of the company’s financial statement showed that at the completion of the re- engagement process, 3,658 workers were on the company’s payroll in 2013, consisting Administration (845), Finance (399), Marketing (1,116) and Technical (1,298). The figure, however, fell to about 2,243 in 2014, with Administration having 320, Finance (279), Marketing (859) and Technical (785). At the expiration of the initial contract period in 2014, NERC explained that each worker was issued fresh re-engagement letters as permanent or contract staff, in line with the AEDC’s framework of employee remuneration and public service rules. There were yet a lot of others designated casual workers. “Apart from discriminatory salaries, the casual workers are denied vacation and proper medical attention, despite performing similar jobs and exposed to same hazardous conditions at work on a daily basis,” one of the affected workers said. He did not wish to be identified for fear of victimization. Consulting house of fraud Investigations by PREMIUM TIMES uncovered monumental fraud in the company’s payroll traceable to an agency, TBS Consulting, hired to handle staff recruitment in 2014. For instance, Yusuf Mosunmola, one of the directors and a key member of the TBS Consulting management team, doubles as Head, Organisational Development & Learning for AEDC. As director of the consulting firm, Ms. Mosunmola was in charge of the entire recruitment process for all categories of employees in AEDC. The Executive Director, Corporate Planning & Business Development, Omokhoa Okaisabor, told PREMIUM TIMES that Ms. Mosunmola was hired to help in resolving the human resources issue the company had at inception. After the privatisation exercise, AEDC was confronted with human resources issues that bordered on lack of proper training for staff and a lot of skill gaps, he said. Mr. Okaisabor said the company had resolved that if no one was found within the company to handle the human resource function, it should be outsourced to a contracting firm, to bring the required staff to manage the key HR function on contract basis. “That was how TBS Consulting was hired, with Ms. Mosunmola as one of directors, to recruit the staff on contract basis,” Mr. Okaisabor explained. A source close to AEDC headquarters said a part of the about N285.5million in the 2014 financial statement spent as consultancy fees for technical support services by KANN Utility Company Limited was by TBS Consulting for extensive services on IT, procurement, integration, support and turnaround strategies in 2013. The director explained to PREMIUM TIMES that all the contract staff recruited by TBS Consulting for AEDC had “special arrangements” with Ms. Mosunmola on how the salary penned against their names would be split. “Not all the salary actually gets into their (contract staff’s) pockets,” Mr. Okaisabor explained. “The contracting firm has some personal arrangement to get part of the money paid to them as salaries by the company. The practice is that the contracting firm gets the money from the company and pays the staff.” “Most of the names found on the company’s payroll are either non-existent or belong to persons who work directly for Madam’s (Mosunmola) other companies,” one of the staff familiar with the issue said on Friday. The staff said the special arrangement must have been in connection with allegations that at least 60 percent of the salaries credited to most of the high earners on the company’s payroll every month goes to Ms. Mosunmola, who also has interests in other companies providing various services for AEDC, like cleaning. While AEDC pays millions to Ms. Mosunmola’s company for such services, she is said to be paying peanuts to the workers and pocketing the balance. Some of the names on the AEDC payroll that raised eyebrows were those of two contract staff hired in 2014 and posted to the Lokoja District office. They include Akanku Olusegun, a National Diploma holder in Electrical, and Higher National Diploma (HND) (in view), who is paid N823, 764 per month. The same goes for Adesulu Adebayo, another National Diploma holder in Electrical holder in the same office, who takes home N764, 097.60 salary every month. Curiously, several of their colleagues in various district offices with either similar qualifications or superior university degrees of many years’ standing, are paid a paltry N50, 000. Ms. Mosunmola on her part remains one of the highest paid officials, who pockets a whopping N1.84 million pay every month. This is in additional to the N27million and another N10 million paid to her as furniture allowance and accommodation respectively. Also Ms. Mosunmola grapples with the obvious challenge of conflict of interests as she appears to work for AEDC and TBS Consulting simultaneously. “It’s a clear case of fraud inspired by greed,” Alfred Ituah, an Abuja-based legal practitioner told PREMIUM TIMES on Friday. “It is practically impossible for her (Mosunmola) to expect that she would effectively joggle both jobs of recruiting workers for AEDC and be on the company’s staff payroll in whatever capacity without getting entangled in the mess of conflict of interest,” he noted. ICPC wades in In August, some top AEDC officials were invited by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission for questioning following a petition by some aggrieved workers. Those invited included the Managing Director; Executive Director, Human Resources; Head of Finance/Financial Controller and Principal Manager in charge of Procurement. The ICPC’s invitation letter had asked the affected AEDC top officials to provide for examination the statute/law/enabling Act establishing the company; the company’s nominal roll since 2013, and certificate of compliance in recruitment process from the Federal Character Commission. The officials were also asked to furnish the Commission with the company’s payroll for June 2015; company policy; list of contracts awarded from January 2013; statement of Account; statement of salary accounts as well as recruitment report detailing advertisements, short listings, result sheets/ scores since 2013. Spokesperson for ICPC, Rasheedat Okoduwa, who confirmed to this reporter that the AEDC top officials had honoured the invitation on August 4, 2015, however did not give details, saying she was not authorized to speak to the media on the issue. Mr. Okaisabor who also confirmed the invitation of AEDC top officials by ICPC, said all issues raised by the Commission were resolved over two meetings, the last being in September. The tension in the company appears to have worsened last week following another round of recruitment interviews held for Regional Managers, Area Managers, Billing Specialist and Support Officers as well as Project Managers. The exercise was again handled by Ms. Mosunmola on behalf of TBS Consulting allegedly as part of plans by AEDC to downsize its workforce. Mr. Okaisabor described as unacceptable the issue of conflict of interest concerning Ms. Mosunmola roles in AWEDC and TBS Consulting, saying if investigated and found to be true, she would be queried and sanctioned. “I will have to crosscheck that information. But, it will be extremely careless and stupid of them (TBS Consulting) to outsource somebody to a company and the person is still on the company’s management staff. If that is the case, she has to be queried and sanctioned. It’s unacceptable,” Mr. Okaisabor said. Director General of BPE, Benjamin Dikki, who is a member of the Board of AEDC, representing the Federal Government, said in a terse response to the reporter’s inquiry that he was not aware of the activities of Mrs. Mosunmola. “I am not aware”, Mr. Dikki said in a text message on Friday. He however asked for time to investigate. When the reporter contacted Ms. Mosunmola on telephone on Friday to confirm her connection with the two organisations, she refused to comment, insisting on knowing first what the information was for. When told the reason, she immediately terminated the call. Subsequent calls to her phone were not answered. Equally, text messages to her phones were also not responded to. However, in what a appeared an attempt to cover her tracks, TBS Consulting on Monday, October 12, edited its website and removed Ms. Mosunmola from the list of its management team.

nonsense credible source. when last did Nigeria used her dams for power generation? it only uses those dams as supplements IF there is shortage or insufficient gas supply into our power plants which they are all currently been powered by LNG(currently like 8 power plants). exceptional cases may arise due to maybe sabotage like pipeline vandalism or equipment failure on the part of the GENCOS or Companies supplying LNG. |

? there are at least three hydro power plants in Niger state alone sending the power generate to national station (dont kw the real name) at Osogbo for distribution. The worst part is that power generation always peaked at this tym of the year under GEJ and u hypocrites have always attributed it to the volume of water in the dams.
