Politics › Nigeria Needs $500m To Fix Refineries. by obynocute(op): 8:19am On Mar 11, 2016
By Emman Ovuakporie &Johnbosco Agbakwuru ABUJA - MINISTER of State for Petroleum and Group Managing Director of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Dr. Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu yesterday said that the four refineries in the country will require between $300 million to $500 million to function effectively. The minister disclosed this during an interactive meeting with the joint House of Representatives Committee on Gas Resources, Petroleum (Downstream and Upstream) and Local Content chaired by Rep Victor Nwokolo over the controversy on the recent unbundling of NNPC to 30 companies. He acknowledged the communication gap between his office and the National Assembly on the issue of unbundling of the NNPC, adding that the concerns expressed by members were legitimate. Kachukwu said that the "unbundling was used to qualify the sub-sects" otherwise called 'Divisions', and not companies as would have been applicable to the actual unbundling of the Corporation as stipulated in the PIB. He assured that the restructuring of NNPC will help in achieving 16 to 18 month self-sufficiency of supply of Petroleum products as well as the establishment of the modular type refineries by investors as contained in the recent advert placed by the Corporation. He noted that when the 650,000 refinery planned by Dangote Group comes on-stream by 2020, it would boost domestic refining capacity, adding that the policy was to drive the oil marketers to invest in the industry going forward. The Minister explained that 17 subsidiaries of NNPC had been identified and that additional four were created, adding that the administrative restructuring would help in generating more jobs, profitability and efficiency of various sub-sects of the Corporation, including gas and power, property, pipeline and refineries, among others. Kachukwu noted that 70 per cent of the N350 billion loss incurred by the Corporation came from PPMC, adding that plans are underway to adopt Public Private Partnership (PPP) in the bid to boost the viability of the NNPC subsidiaries Inc! using shipping company, medical centres. According to him, the Corporation was on the verge of finalising arrangement with an American company to maintain the NNPC medical centres adding that the negotiation has reached advance stage with the World largest shipping company, to drive the NNPC shipping company established over the past eight years without owing a vessel. He assured that the Corporation has no plan to disengage the 10,000 workers on its payroll but added that the administrative restructuring will help to put the 3,000 redundant staff in the competency venture. The lawmakers and the Minister resolved to work harmoniously towards the timely passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB).

Politics › Another 14-yr-old Benue Girl Abducted In Sokoto. by obynocute(op): 7:57am On Mar 03, 2016
By Emma Nnadozie, Crime Editor; Peter Duru & Charles Kumolu MAKURDI— Relations of another missing 14-year-old girl, Patience Paul, have alleged that the primary six pupil of Mohammed Zako Model Primary School, Sokoto, may have been abducted and housed at the palace of the Sultan of Sokoto. Father of the girl, Mr. Paul Adaji, an indigene of Ochobo in Ohimini Local Government Area of Benue State, told Vanguard on phone that his daughter had been missing since August 12, 2015. Adaji, who resides in Sokoto with his family, alleged that some persons spotted his daughter at the Sultan’s palace. He said: “We got information that she was in the Sultan’s palace and the last time we went there, we did not find her.” When asked how they knew she was at the palace, he said: “Some people told us that they saw her at the palace. They also used to camp some of them there, that was why we went to the palace to see if she has been taken there. “Even her friend, who used to be a Christian, was found there. She was taken there and they converted her. “We will still continue to search for her. We will not give up; we only want the world to help us so that our daughter can be released to us.” Brother’s story Corroborating Mr. Adaji’s story, his son, Paul Isaac Adaji, gave an account of circumstances that led to the disappearance of his sister. He said: “Patience is my younger sister. We are based in Sokoto. That is where the issue occurred. My dad is in Sokoto but we lost our mother two years ago. My younger sister was brain-washed from school, Mohammed Zako Model Primary school, Sokoto. She is a primary six pupil. “The fact is that sometime last year, we noticed she started keeping some funny friends and her attitude started changing. This is a girl that normally likes attending church activities. “We cautioned her but along the line, she changed. Then again, she started misbehaving. So at that point, my parent and I decided to move her out of Sokoto and return her to Benue State so the rumours of children converting does not happen to us as we do not have anybody to fight for us. “Unfortunately, what we were scared of later happened to us. Sometimes we will see her returning from school with a veil covering her head. When we inquired, she said it was given to her by her friend in school. “We cautioned her on several occasions. But we later arranged with my dad to get her back to Benue. Unfortunately, she got to know about our plan to send her back to Benue and obviously informed the people who were brainwashing her and they eventually abducted her. “When we could not see her, we started serious investigation and along the line, discovered that it was one of our neighbours who actually abducted her. Hisbah takes over “We reported the matter to the police. The masterminds of her abduction were invited by the Police. They made their confessions that the girl wanted to join their religion, which was why they abducted her. They said they took her to the Hisbah (Islamic Police). “At that point, the Police invited the Hisbah and they came and gave their own statement. They said they had taken the girl to the Sultan’s palace. I was hoping that since the police had stepped in, my sister would come home. “But that did not happen. I reported the matter at the Police Headquarters in Sokoto, but it was transferred to our Area Division. So after the interrogations, the Police said since I reported the matter at the headquarters, their findings will also be communicated to the headquarters. “Two weeks later, I went to the police headquarters here in Sokoto only for the police to tell us that we should just go and maintain peace. I became inquisitive and wanted to know what the police found that prompted that advice. Bishop Kukah steps in “It was at that point that I reported the matter to Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Kukah. He was very angry with us, saying we ought to have reported the matter to him earlier. “He made some calls and promised to step into the matter. I became restless and worried because the Bishop is a very busy person. We are urging and pleading with all well- meaning Nigerians to help us intervene. “From what we gathered, from last year up to early this year, she was in the Sultan’s palace, but she has been taken away from there since last month. “‘We went there with my other sister to check and they brought a different person to us. From our investigations, she is not the only one because the two girls they brought did not look like real Muslims.” Meanwhile, calls to Bishop Kukah to find out the veracity of claims that the matter was reported to him at a point were not responded to. Source confirm palace connection However, a source in Sokoto told Vanguard that the girl was actually abducted and kept at the Sultan's palace. The source also noted that the teenager was not the only person abducted and hidden at the palace, adding that three other girls were in the palace. The source said: “What is happening is not new; it is a common occurrence in Sokoto and Katsina. Christian teenage girls are often abducted and hidden in such places. “Patience is not the only victim. Three other girls were found to have been abducted and kept at the palace. There is an Ibo girl among the three.” Reacting to the development yesterday, Sokoto State Commissioner of Police, Salisu Fagge, said: “It is not true. I have not received such report from anybody. We relate very well with the palace and Bishop Kukah and such report has never come to me. “If we had got it, we would have taken prompt action. Please ask the man to see me in the office without delay if what he is saying is true.”

Politics › Good Governance: I Need Your Prayers, Buhari Tells Religious Leaders by obynocute(op): 8:31am On Feb 29, 2016
ABUJA- PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has pleaded with
religious leaders across the country to pray for him to
administer the country effectively.
President Buhari also charged religious leaders in the country
to do more in supporting the Federal Government’s efforts to
transform the nation by enshrining what he termed, the
culture of good governance and overcoming the security
challenges facing the country.

Speaking Sunday in Abuja while speaking at the Eagle Square
Abuja, venue of this year’s Jama’atul Izalatil Bid’ah
WaIkamatis Sunnah, JIBWIS Annual Convention, President
Buhari stressed that religious leaders have a duty to support
the government in sustaining the current peace and
tranquility being enjoined across the country.
The President who spoke through the Minister of the Federal
Capital Territory Administration, FCTA, Malam Muhammad
Musa Bello commended the Jama’atul Izalatil Bid’ah
WaIkamatis Sunnah for uniting the Muslim community
through the preaching of Islamic tenets which stress the
importance of obedience to constituted authority, good
morals and the need for harmonious co-existence, adding
that their efforts have greatly enhanced the unity and socio-
economic development of the nation.

He said, "I urge you to continue to support this administration
through prayers so that we can continue to have peace and
security and above all pray for Allah’s blessings so that we
can have prosperity and good governance.
"There is no doubt that what we are witnessing today is
something that is very important to us as Muslims and indeed
to the community and society at large. We all have a duty to
continue to support the leader of this group so that he can
continue to do the good things that he has been doing for
over thirty years”.

The occasion which featured the official launching of the
appeal fund for the building of an Islamic Centre by the group
in the Guzape District of Abuja, had prominent personalities
including former Governors and Ministers in attendance.
The President commended the past and present
administrations of the FCT for giving priority attention to
religious organizations in land allocations for the
establishment of worship centres and schools for the proper
grooming of the future leaders of this great country.
Buhari acknowledged that the establishment of the proposed
Islamic centre by the Jama’atul Izalatil Bid’ah WaIkamatis
Sunnah in Abuja was an important milestone which requires
the support of all, adding that efforts should be made to
ensure the completion of the project in order to enhance the
educational development of the nation.

Earlier in his remark, the National Chairman of the Ulama
Council of JIBWIS Sheikh Sani Yahaya Jingir said the
proposed Islamic Community Centre will include a Mosque,
Islamic School, Conference hall and guest quarters.
He called for prayers for the success of the President
Muhammdu Buhari led administration and charged Muslim’s
all over the country to support the on-going reforms aimed at
making life better for the entire citizens of this country.

Phones › Goodbye To 4G, Welcome 5G- The New Definition Of Speed. by obynocute(op): 11:37am On Feb 26, 2016
Goodbye to 4G, Welcome 5G-the New Definition of Speed 

It is not uhuru yet for 5G or fifth generation of wireless technology. 4G is still the trend for now but its funeral is nigh as it will soon go moribund and replaced by 5G. In summary, 5G will leapfrog 4G thus making it irrelevant.This is an inevitable future which quite a handful of technology companies like AT&T, Verizon, and Google among others are presently spending billions of dollars to make it a reality. 5G will become the new definition of internet speed. So what does the arrival of 5G into the tech world truly mean? Innovation village identify 4 incredible ideas.





Download movies within 5 seconds 

5G will allow movie addicts to download high-definition movies in less than 10 secs. This is super fast when compared to the 8 minutes it takes 4G to perform the same download. You can see the astonishing gap. But, 5G internet will not come cheap as tech companies will have to install new towers and hardware to enable 20 gigabits per second. The 20 gigabits per second will make it possible to download a full-length in less than 5 seconds. A long way to go but like they say it is not rocket science!



 Connect millions of new devices via networking 



Speed may be the focus of fifth generation technology but there are other purposes it is meant for. It can connect millions of new gadgets from smartwatches to wearable technology and other Bluetooth devices. All these gadgets will be linked to your mobile phone thus simplifying the syncing process. It can also help in monitoring your devices through the use of sensors embedded in these devices. Interesting!



Uber will respond extremely fast to cab request

Uber unarguably controls the taxi industry globally. You can request for a Uber cab using their android app. If 4Ginternet is fast for you. It is not fast enough. 5G will ultimately shrink the time in which Uber cabs respond to your cab request. Minutes you can say? But considering the Lagos traffic, it may take a bit of time but the difference will be clear and noticeable. This also goes for driverless cars. The faster the internet speed, the closer we are to driving anonymous cars. Wow!!!

No more complaints about internet speed 

Nigerians lament about the fluctuating internet services they get from telephony companies and other service providers. Your lamentation will soon end as the 5G revelation and revolution will soon take over. You will even be awed by the speed and request Mr. 5G to slow down. But remember, 5G will not come cheap!

Politics › $24bn Oil Swap/opa Deals: They Lied Against Me—diezani. by obynocute(op): 6:28pm On Feb 24, 2016
Former Minister for Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani
Alison-Madueke, has described the narratives of her former
group managing directors, GMDs, Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, with regard to the ongoing
legislative probe of the oil swap and OPA deals as fabricated
tissues of lies.
The embattled former minister’s denial comes as she
strongly refuted claims that she approved $24 billion for
Renewal of the Crude Oil/Refined Products Exchange
Agreement, otherwise called oil swap deals without
contracts.

From the inception of the deal in 2009, Federal Government
was meant to realise about $1.82 million per 60,000 barrels
per day, bpd, against the then losses of $1.47 million being
recorded by the corporation.
It is uncertain if all the proceeds from the deal were remitted
to the federation account.
During their appearances before the legislators last week, Mr.
Austin Oniwon, who was GMD, NNPC, from May 17, 2010 to
June 12, 2012, and Mr. Andrew Yakubu, June 12, 2012, to
August 2, 2014, said Alison-Madueke had granted them
approvals for contracts extension.

In a statement meant to set the records straight yesterday,
she rejected some newspaper and online reports, which
claimed that she granted an “extension” instead of ‘Approval
for the Renewal of Contracts’ for the swap arrangements.
Alison-Madueke, who is currently undergoing extensive
cancer treatment in London, was quoted as describing the
latest attack as “fabricated tissues of lies deviously
concocted to sustain the escalating evil narratives against
her person.”

Contracts approvals

The embattled former minister, who spoke through her
spokesman, Mr. Clem Aguiyi, recalled that she gave the
following approvals for renewal of contract: one-year term
each for both Messrs Trafigura Beheer BV, and Messrs
Societe Ivoirienne de Raffinage (SIR), in August 2010; two-
year term in August 2011 for the same companies, and one-
year term to NNPC subsidiary, Duke Oil, in January 2011.
She added: “Two other approvals were consequently sought
by the GMD, NNPC, the first of these on August 29, 2014,
seeking to ratify all three aforementioned approvals, which
had apparently variously expired during the course of 2013.”
She said she approved all three “in view of the criticality of
the situation. Expiry of those terms was put at December 31,
2014, following assurances to the minister that the
contractual obligations of the parties to NNPC had, in fact,
been fully met, despite the regrettable lapse in renewal time.”
In her narrative, the lapses in expiration to renewal dates
were put at seven months for Duke Oil, 10 for SIR, and 12
months for Trafigura.

OPA approvals

Furthermore, Alison-Madueke recalled that she had given
fresh approvals for Offshore Processing Agreements, OPA, on
October 28, 2014, following the recommendation of the then
Group Managing Director, GMD, NNPC.
The approvals included a new term of two years commencing
from January 1, 2015, for Sahara Energy Resources Ltd;
Aiteo Energy and Duke Oil.
According to her, “NNPC strongly recommended and outlined
the benefits of the OPA over the swaps and put forward the
case for migration from the OPA and crude exchange (SWAP)
contracts to OPAs fully.

“NNPC posited that the ‘experienced benefits of the OPA to
the Federation’ would be much greater. All approvals were
due process-driven and were only given by the Minister,
following formal statutory written requests, which contained
the technical basis for the renewal and were sent to the
Minister by the GMD-NNPC, as is the normal practice.
“NNPC had clearly requested for the approval of the Minister
for ‘Renewal of the Crude Oil - Refined Products Exchange
Agreement’ and ‘Renewal of Offshore Processing Agreement’
on all the various occasions outlined earlier in this press
release.”

Her spokesman further noted that “whereas, it is the
Minister’s responsibility to either give or refuse ‘approval’, it
was not within her purview as Minister to draft, initiate or
conclude the processes of signing the final contracts.
“It is the statutory responsibility of NNPC to ensure that all
technical areas are duly covered and all requisite due process
parameters are duly implemented.”
