BluntTheApostle:
The money squandered was what was allocated to the NDDC.

By your logic, we should blame the sports ministry for the misappropriation of funds allocated to the handball association.

As for "when", read this article on corruption in the NNPC, and how it has defied many solutions, and why it is difficult to adequately monitor affairs:

https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2016/03/nigeria-oil-corruption-buhari/473850/

There is nothing like "defied" solutions. All that lingo and jargon is just a cover up to perpetuate stealing. If Saro Wiwa could be sentenced to death and hanged for the "crime" of "treason" (quote and unquote), what could be more treasonous to the country than looting the economic prosperity of 180m citizens to oblivion? NDDC loot is crumbs compared to those who are looting the Niger-delta crude oil day in day out without any transparent accountability. The Nigerian govt had the political will and found the means to hang Saro Wiwa at all costs. But when it comes to catching the thieves destroying this country, you're telling me "defied many solutions", "difficult" etc. No there's nothing "difficult" in the sense of difficult. But I get it, it's difficult for them to probe the thieves when the people who are the thieves are the people they see when they stand and look in the mirror.

BluntTheApostle:
What I meant was that this particular case is about NDDC. When it comes to NNPC, then we face NNPC squarely.

Everyone knows that there is corruption in every sector of our economy, especially our oil industry.

The NNPC is an entire industry in its own rights. To better monitor it, Buhari did sack many DGs, and even split the organization into two to better monitor it. So, it is not like there are no efforts being made in that direction.

But, unfortunately, this issue is about the NDDC.

When is the "when" going to happen. For one, you cannot separate NDDC from NNPC, because the funds both have their hands in the Niger-delta oil money. You cannot probe NDDC and ignore NNPC, never! They are symbiotic. A bank was robbed of N100, 4 thieves came in and did the stealing. One thief stole N2, another one N1, and another one stole N7 and the other thief stole N90, they stole separately at different times in the night. So if the police detectives come into the bank to investigate the robbery, they should only bother about the thief that stole N2, and forget about catching the other ones, that they will pursue those ones another year, or they will wait till anytime there is another robbery to try and catch the other thieves. Does this make sense to you? Yet you say the "issue" is about NDDC. Well, you got it wrong again. The "issue" is not about NDDC. The issue is about "corruption", the monumental staggering corruption happening in major sectors of our country that is been deliberately ignored. Yet they are quick to jump on the NDDC as if that's the worst occurrence of corruption. If there was ever a time to prove, dismantle and rip apart the NNPC for CORRUPTION, the time is NOW! The anti-corruption hammer cannot be selective of which corruption it chooses to nail. It must nail them all. That is true anti-corruption. But nothing will be done about the NNPC because Buhari is the minister in charge. "Mr. Integrity" indeed grin

"Very good". In short, it is not enough to.de-register them. They must be banned, labelled as terror groups and the army operation alligator swallow sent to pursue them for terrorism. After all it is Arewa, Ohaneze, Afenifere and co that are the sponsors of Boko Haram and ISWAP and the ones supplying them fighters that have torn apart the security of this country. These groups are the ones inviting killer Fulani herdmen militias from all over the world to come and settle in Nigeria for RUGA, and massacre communities and destroy places that oppose them. Ohaneze, Arewa, Afenifere and co are the ones that have spent billions to rehabilitate and reintegrate the terrorists murderers that have destroyed countless lives and given them care, enjoyment and backing to come back to the communities they destroyed. Yes oh, please de-register them. They are the ones threatening our national security ¯\_ಠ_ಠ_/¯

Where are those NDDC anti-corruption crusaders oh?

$81.48 billion = N38 trillion naira approx.

Where is your outrage? Where is your voice against this monumental ineptitude and mind-blowing staggering corruption. If a common Nigerian citizen as much as owe Nepa bill of N10K, dey will bring ladder and cut your light. As a prepaid meter user, once d units finish, light don go b dat. NEPA has never recharge my meter on credit before. Na money before service. Where is your rage and call for probe and punishment? I'm not supporting corruption, never have, never will. But I will never support chasing after small thieves and leaving the bigger thieves to continue stealing this country to death.

N38 trillion naira minus 90 billion naira = N37,910,000,000,000 trillion naira.

Where are those one-sided Buhari anti-corruption fighters? Come and see another one oh. We have not even talk about the 48 million barrels of oil that has been siphoned to China. That's the one we know oh, what of the ones we don't know.

BluntTheApostle:
So, what is your point exactly?

Maybe you do not know that by bringing NNPC into this issue, you are distracting attentions from the issue at hand.

In the future when the axe falls on NNPC, then people too will rise and say "What about the Agriculture Board? or the Nigerian Police Force?"

And like that, we will keep distracting ourselves from issues of national concern until they sell the country behind our backs.

what do you mean why am I bringing NNPC into it? What kind of anti-corruption crusader are you huh

What do you mean by "in future when the axe falls", so your own anti-corruption axe has time table when it falls on some lesser corruption and ignores the bigger corruption? Distracting you from issues at hand as how? I want to distract you, yet I posted a thread centered on NDDC corruption? They keep supporting and worshipping the biggest thieves, but throw tyres on the neck of the smaller thieves and burn them to death, I see that how your anti-corruption strategy works. No problem, continue

BluntTheApostle:
Bro, you don't have any point.

Call for the scrapping of the NNPC is not new. As a matter of fact, no one cares if it is scrapped or not, provided a better, more robust option is considered. Even the NYSC has not escaped calls for scrapping.

So, I don't see how calling for the scrapping of NDDC is such a big deal.

A huge amount of money has been revealed to have been stolen. Should this amount fall into the hands of the Japanese or Chinese government, we know how judiciously it would be used, but in Nigeria, this money has been squandered. This is a country where close to half of its population of approximately 200 million people live in abject poverty.

And yet you want to come and defend a reckless statement made by someone who made billions from being just a "freedom fighter".

Oh, I do have a point, in short, my point is as big as the sun itself, but if you can't see it, maybe you are in another milky way galaxy or parallel universe.

https://www.nairaland.com/6016745/samano-sa-de-cv-accuses

See d thread above, that's a legit case of unprecedented looting by NNPC, and that's not d first of its kind. 48 million barrels is equivalent to about USD $$$ 2 billion = about 1 trillion naira. NOW N83 billion is chicken change where 1 trillion naira is. Where is your call for their accountability? Where is your presidential committee recommendation for NNPC to be scrapped. And FYI, that NDDC should be scrapped was not a "call", nobody is "calling for" it like some word of mouth suggestions or an expression of interest or idea or whatever. It was a "recommendation", a posit submission by principal officials of govt with presidential backing and federal authority, after painstaking review, and examination. So don't even misunderstand things at all

Good. So, since NNPC has never come under such nor has anyone there faced any charges, please, NDDC executives should continue to plunder the allocationto the body until those in NNPC start facing charges.

Omenka fully endorse this message.

yes, your endorsement is very loud and clear. Turn to loud speakers and activists of anti-corruption when NDDC steals Niger-Delta regional funds but turn to blind bats when bigger thieves like NNPC plunder the wealth of the entire country (not just the Niger-delta alone) and push citizens to penury. Your anti-corruption campaign strategy is the most effective in the world indeed.

Dont brother posting any fact, we wholeheartedly agree with Asari.

And we urge the leaders in the Niger Delta to steal more so that, eventually, their stealing can measure up to what the Northerners are stealing.

Dear Niger Delta leaders, if you're reading this, my name is Omenka and I endorse your stealing 100% and implore you to steal more, after all, you've not stolen up to what Northerners are stealing.

Thank you as you do this for your people.

you miss the point! I'm not endorsing stealing. Never have and never will. But NDDC just got indicted on about N90 billion naira fraud, and within a few weeks, recommendation from the highest quarters has been submitted for the NDDC to be scrapped. How many times has NNPC been indicted for looting, unprecedented looting? Yet they have never been penalized, not to even mentioned scrapped. Do you see it now?

Guy forget, don't come at me with your PDP rubbish this early morning. I'm not a tribalistic politcal zombie slave with blind allegiance and loyalty to your oppressors. I'm a free-thinking critical thinker that will only support the truth and those who uphold the truth with integrity. If I see them do a good deed, I will openly support them. If I see them do a bad deed, I will openly condemn their actions or voice out my objections. Are your politicians feeding me? I owe them nothing! What do I think about an Atiku presidency? I think it would be a huge disaster. That's my critical-thinking opinion. For the records, I can never vote for an Atiku presidency no matter how much he repackages himself. But for the additional record, Buhari is a bigger disaster than Atiku could ever be. So don't think your subtle "Atiku is cumming" jab and banter moves me 1 inch. He can cum to hell for all I care. E no concern me. But your Buhari is not even up to 1/100th the man Atiku is. Atiku beats him in all ramifications, but for me, they are different patterns of the same material.

Politics › Asari Dokubo: ₦81 Billion Theft At NDDC Is Mere Pickpocketing by Openbusiness4(op): 6:22am On Jul 27, 2020

Asari Dokubo, leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Salvation Force, says the alleged mismanagement of N81 billion by the interim management committee (IMC) of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) is like pickpocketing compared to other alleged stolen public funds in Nigeria.

The national assembly is currently investigating the alleged mismanagement of the funds by the IMC.

President Muhammadu Buhari had order a forensic audit of the commission’s activities from 2001 to 2019.

But the IMC, which was set up to manage the NDDC pro tem and to supervise the audit, has come under allegations of corruption.

Commenting on the saga in a video, Dokubo said the N81 billion in question is nothing compared to other funds he claimed were looted in Nigeria.

He said the case is like that of a man calling the police to report a pickpocketing case he witnessed while armed robbers are breaking into his house.

“We are talking about N81 billion being pick-pocketed from Niger Delta while the bulk of our money, our resources is being carted away and we are not talking,” Dokubo said.

“They want me to run after pickpocketers and leave armed robbers that are coming into my house. When they talk about Akpabio, tell them about Malami, when they talk about Joy, tell them about Sadiya, when they talk about any senator, tell them about Magu.”

Christianity Etc › Re: What Is Your Understanding Of Sabbath? by Openbusiness4: 10:41am On Jul 26, 2020

chibjohn:
So you don't believe he rested on the seventh day as written in the Bible?
God rested on the seventh day to buttress the importance of the Sabbath. He took the human nature in that act and that doesn't invalidate his eternal nature. Remember that Christ took the human nature to pay for our sins.

Christ took our nature when he became "flesh and blood". God didn't take your nature when he rested on the 7th day. Stop confusing yourself. Don't just read your Bible, "study" it and let it teach you. God's Sabbath is eternity. When a person "dies" he enters into the Sabbath of God. He stops "working" or applying his own energy or power. He enters a realm where everything functions by the divine energy of God, so he is at rest permanently. He doesn't need to do anything. Everything has been taken care of. This is the "rest" we talk about when people say "Rest in peace". But there's no rest for the wicked (scripture and literally), so there will be no Sabbath for the wicked. The religious Sabbath of Sunday or Saturday resting, is not the same as the true Sabbath. The religious Sabbath was introduced just to be a religious provision in Judaism for Judaists to have a time set apart they congregrate for their religious activity. In reality it is not a day of "rest". It is a day of religion. Do you rest when you are clapping in church or dancing and singing, is that rest? Or do you rest when burning incense as a Jewish adherent, or performing the worship rituals to God? You're still working. This was why Jesus rebuked the Pharisees when they accused him of breaking the Sabbath when he healed a man on the "Sabbath Day". They said he was working, he wasn't meant to work. But Jesus rebuked them and dismissed their accusations as false. Why? Because he knew what the real Sabbath is, and he knew what the Sabbath for religion is, a day you work the works of God. It is a religious work day, not a day of rest. There is no rest in the religious Sabbath. But the true Sabbath of God is the true rest and it is an eternal day, not 24 hours.

Hebrews 3:11, NIV: "So I declared on oath in my anger, 'They shall never enter my rest.''"

Hebrews 3:11, ESV: "As I swore in my wrath, ‘They shall not enter my rest.’”"

Hebrews 3:11, KJV: "So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)"

Hebrews 3:11, NASB: "AS I SWORE IN MY WRATH, 'THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST.''"

Hebrews 3:11, NLT: "So in my anger I took an oath: 'They will never enter my place of rest.''"

Hebrews 3:11, CSB: "So I swore in my anger, "They will not enter my rest.""

Hebrews 4:9, NIV: "There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God;"

Hebrews 4:9, ESV: "So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God,"

Hebrews 4:9, KJV: "There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God."

Hebrews 4:9, NASB: "So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God."

Hebrews 4:9, NLT: "So there is a special rest still waiting for the people of God."

Hebrews 4:9, CSB: "Therefore, a Sabbath rest remains for God's people."

My understanding of it, is that "true Sabbath" = eternal rest. That is to say spending your eternity with God is your real Sabbath Day. God rested on the "7th day" but the 7th day is actually not a "day", it is eternity
