And Tinubu is fighting for the Yorubas not his pocket, you my friend is a compound fool.
If not for the likes of Asari, Tompolo etc the death of Saro Wiwa would have been in vain. These people fought for the 13% derivation we currently enjoy as oil producing states.

So the oyel Goddess reduced equity from 10% to 7.5% in host communities yet my brothers will not see this, the same way they have been blind to see that the likes of Asari,Tompolo and other militants are actually fighting for their pockets and not for the ND.

Indeed tribal and religious sentiments can make people very foolish and insensible.

koboko69:
It is not yet Uhuru for the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB) as the APC transition committee has advised President Muhammadu Buhari to jettison the version proposed by the Goodluck Jonathan administration. In its place, the committee said “Dr. Rilwanu Lukman’s version” should be passed into law by the national assembly. The omnibus law for the petroleum industry is designed to reform the oil and gas sector, which gives Nigeria over 90% of its forex earnings as well as over 60% of national spending. The delay in passing the bill is believed to have created uncertainty in Nigeria’s oil and gas industry, leading to the loss of over $80 billion in fresh investments, with investors unsure of the regulatory, political and economic conditions under which they will operate. Most of these investments have been diverted to Angola, which has enjoyed political stability in the last decade.

“Lukman’s version”

The house of representatives had passed the latest version shortly before the last administration wound down, although the senate could not vote on it and this effectively meant the bill could not become law in the life of the Jonathan government. However, the proposal by the Ahmed Joda-led transition committee that “Lukman’s version” should be passed may generate political and administrative hitches. Lukman, former minister of petroleum resources under President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua from December 2008 to March 2010, did not originate the bill. Lukman, who died in 2014, was special adviser to President Olusegun Obasanjo when the first draft of the bill was prepared but was not sent to the national assembly until Obasanjo left office in 2007. Several versions of the bill were being sent to the national assembly under Lukman’s watch as various interests struggled to tamper with it to maximise their benefits.

“Diezani’s version”

The exit of Lukman in 2010 led to a review of the various versions by Diezani Alison-Madueke, Lukman’s successor in the ministry. The reasons for the proposal to adopt “Lukman’s version” are not very clear, as there were no significant changes in the contentious areas, such as the fiscal regime which the international oil companies (IOCs) considered to be unfavourable.

Whereas the “Lukman’s version” provided 10% equity to oil “host communities”, this was reduced to 7.5% in “Diezani’s version” passed by the house of representatives. The definition of “host” was also expanded to cover all communities that pipelines pass through, not just where exploration is being made. The discretionary powers to award oil licences which were granted to the minister of petroleum resources under “Lukman’s version” were retained in “Diezani’s version”, but the house of representatives removed the provision. The Joda recommendations are currently being reviewed by a committee headed by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.

BIP IS NOT JONATHAN'S ITS FOR THE NATION. THOSE ADVISING BUHARI TO DUMP IT ARE CHARLATANS AND BIGOTS WITH HIDDEN AGENDA.AWAITING TO SEE WHAT THE DILLARD WILL DO

lexy2014:
if u read d article properly u should have understood what they were trying 2 say. D PIB didn't start with jonathan. It started with obasanjo with each successive goVt inheriting it. Rilwanu lukman(RIP) d then special adviser 2 obasanjo and later minister of petroleum under yaradua was d one who started work on d bill. This is what diezani inherited. D problem now is whether buhari should adopt d lukman version in its original form or d diezani version which is lukmans work with a few adjustments. So what has this got 2do with "charlatans and bigots"?

Buhari is a fool, there's lot of work to do and you are looking for wetin no lost, The clueless Dullard

Is rilwan lukman dead?

Buhari is a fool, there's lot of...

Pavarottii:
Who are they fooling? Anybody that is not from the north or a slave to them( from another tribe) can't make laws controlling oil in the country. So I always knew Jonathan's effort and Deizani effort to cut all manners of corruption in the PIB, was going to be jettisoneded. It is a northern agenda n islamic agenda. They don't care about the south. So all the South south, east and west that voted for buhari, u av all gone deaf and dumb ooo, after appointments are shared to the north and now they want to construst the PIB to favour them. U people that wanted change, u must eat it by force! See how they bolded that part to deceive us and put osinbajo to deceive the west also, not knowing that is what they tell him he will do. And to think of it if pipeline passes ur community does that mean u produce oil, n loose seas through oil spillage, but because they want to benefit from even that small part, they want it.
There was a country!
I know this two types of citizenship in Nigeria won't last forever!
First class citizen/majority(north)
Second class citizen/minority(south).
The God who watches over this country does not sleep nor slumber.

Anything about that Jona man is clueless joor

uptoHim:


You and all the people that clicked likes for you need to be INFORMED. Go back and find out how that original bill was reviewed and who did what. And also find out if it was reviewed by the woman you so much hate or your representatives. Also find out who/where he is from/and why he started and succeeded in making the whole Nigeria to become oil producing states.

And lastly, people like you are the problems Nigeria has.

Under whose watch was d first PIB draft made?

Pavarottii:

U still missing the point, who started, edited, they really don't care, Tambuwal sat on that bill for more than a year, so it will enter this new regime. And they will now reconstruct it to favour them like by 75 to 80%! When they av no single oil on their soil. Do u now get?
