BusinessOil Falls Below New Budget Benchmark by optimald(op): 7:52pm On Mar 17, 2015
The price of global benchmark Brent crude oil fell about three per cent on Monday to a six-week low of $52.50 per barrel, less than a week after the National Assembly adopted $53 per barrel as the 2015 budget oil price benchmark.

Oil prices dropped by more than 60 per cent between June 2014 and January 2015, but have recently shown signs of stabilising.

Brent crude, against which Nigeria’s oil is priced, bounced back from six-year lows to around $60 per barrel in January, while the United States’ benchmark West Texas Intermediate fluctuated around the $50 mark.

Last week, the Senate and the House of Representatives settled for $53 as the crude oil benchmark price for this year’s budget, down from $65 proposed by the Executive.

The sharp decline in oil prices had last year forced the government to adjust the benchmark price for the 2015 budget twice from $78 to $73, and later to $65.

Brent, which fell below $53 per barrel early on Monday, later rose to $53.55 in the evening.

The WTI, which tumbled to a March 2009 low of $42.85 per barrel, also rebounded to $43.36.

Brent and the United States crude have fallen over the last two weeks on renewed fears of an oil glut, after February’s rebound from a 60 per cent price drop in seven earlier months.

The International Energy Agency had last Friday warned that another sharp fall in oil prices was likely despite the recent rebound.

PoliticsPDP Have Ordered $15m Card Reader Jammers To Sabotage Elections – APC by optimald(op): 6:30pm On Mar 17, 2015
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of planning to render card readers ineffective on election days through the use of jammers.

The party in a statement issued in Lagos yesterday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed said the sinister move was geared towards justifying their fears about the use of the card readers and ultimately to scuttle the polls.

It said the PDP has placed an order for 75,000 pieces of the jammers at a cost of $200 per piece, bringing the total cost to $15 million, adding that the jammers will be air freighted to Nigeria next week.
APC said, “We can authoritatively inform Nigerians that the morbid fear of card readers by the Jonathan administration and the PDP has now been translated into concrete action: They have hired an Israeli, Gyora Berger, to do the dirty job of jamming the card readers.

“To those who might accuse us of crying wolf, they should realise that every alarm we have raised in the past has been true, including that the Jonathan administration was pushing for the postponement of the elections and that they are mortally afraid of the use of PVCs and card readers.”

The party added that the Israeli was hired specifically to develop three prototype card reader jammers, and he has now developed three of such jammers (25 metres, 50 metres and 100 metres range) to be carried in the pockets of trusted PDP stalwarts on election days with a view to disabling the card readers within the states.

The party said that apart from disabling the card readers, the jammers will also disable all telephones, iPads, etc within the states of those carrying them on their persons.
“The plan is to deploy the card jammers to the areas deemed to be the strongholds of the APC, such as the North-west, North-east, North-central and the South-west.

“It is the planned procurement of the jammers that has given the confidence to the administration and party officials to continuously boast that Buhari will never rule Nigeria, and also the reason why a chieftain of the PDP boasted last week that the card readers won’t work, thus advising INEC to make alternative arrangements,’’ APC said.

The party said the Israeli, who has agreed to do the dirty job for a desperate Jonathan Administration and the PDP, is an enemy of Nigeria and Nigerians, who does not mind if the nation burns, as long as he has collected his pay for the dirty job for which he has been hired.

It said because the opposition party has become a movement which is being propelled by the people themselves, it is difficult, if not impossible, for the Jonathan Administration and the PDP to succeed in their devilish intentions of rigging, sabotaging or scuttling the forthcoming polls.

‘’We have consistently said power resides in the people, irrespective of what the government of the day might think. When the people are determined to vote out any government, no amount of money, evil plots and shenanigans can save that government, as the Jonathan Administration will find out in two weeks,’’ APC said.
