Firstly, it's a good move by the President and commendable.

I only have one issue with this National decision:
An Act of the National Assembly established the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, included in the amended constitution of the Federal Republic and would require an amendment or a repeal to unbundle the NNPC.

My question is This:
1. Did President Muhammad Buhari consult with the members of the National Assembly in respect to the constitutional provisions before taking the decision to unbundle the NNPC?

2. And was the bodies recognized by the law involved or consulted. These bodies are NUPENG AND PENGASSAN?

Thanks.

Good analysis, it would seem the essential constitutional work required for this action had been undertaken by the Yar'adua and GEJ governments who like in many other cases did not have the guts or will power to see it to an end.

You guys are quite silly, you divide the south into 3, but you bunch the whole north into one...Silly block headed individuals

Where are there no igbos in this list of appointments.
It pains me how the igbos are over marginalized.
For Gods sake, Buhari must carry the igbos along. We are part of Nigeria and we remain one united Nigerians.
i condemn this list, i condemn it , i condemn it.
We igbos never bargained for this kind of marginilization.
Igbos voted massively for Buhari but the election results were manipulated.
I urge all igbos to rise up and condemn this list.

Is Henry Ikem-Onih.... not from the East?

Or is it now that they are sharing Oil that you will remind us that someone from South/South (probably) is no longer Igbo?

Promantwo:
who voted for Buhari? we lgbo vote Goodluck and we can never regret it, l give Buhari three years this.

Why is your Dilector on Trial? Did you all not support him,... against Nigeria?


Only Igbos themselves can build confidence in others, if they want to.
You cant be calling Nigeria a Zoo everyday, hoping, working and praying that it would fail.... yet be shouting marginalisation!
How can you be marginalized over something you claim you are no part thereof?

Thank you for these brilliant observation!

When they play the "ethnic jab", they forget it will come back to hunt all of us.

They say S/West are Slaves to the Northerners!

But you will never find a Kano Man saying Bauchi or Maiduguri is a Slave to the South!

Let us begin to learn the "Lesson" now.

As you lay your bed, so you will lie on it.
Those who throw water "uptfront", should expect to walk on a wet ground

Interesting....

We are watching....if PMB likes he should unbundle all the sectors, my own is the average Nigerian doesn't wanna have a reason to travel abroad for want of a better life condition...we need the FG to make the change come quicker/sooner than anticipated. Let's start having a repeat of what happened to the sentenced billionaire in Iran here in Naija.

Bigots like you always see the crap you want to see and then whine like babies because you just love to whine. If the over 150 tribes in Nigeria always whined and made a fuss out of nothing like you and your kind, then everybody in Nigeria would have been a minister na.

Why cant you for once stand for the truth. what have the igbos done to you yolubas.
South East is a major oil producing state. over one milion barrels per day produced from both IMO, ABIA and ANAMBRA STATES.
The south east deserves at least 70% of this appointments as a mark of honour.
The SE contributes at least 60% of the nations Revenues yet we are been marginalized.
This marginalization must stop ****
Enough of this nonsense or we will shut down all operations across the states of the federation to press home our demands.

Does it mean that a southerner would av not been gud enough to handle one of the new created offices? Pmb has confiscated right and wealth from the owners and still think He's ruling this country well. Some peoples right is being denied just to keep Nigeria as one but, the question is when will this cheat end?

This is nothing new. The template was already in place before this govt came in. This means nothing as longer as it doesn't translate to better hospitals and classrooms.

u guys are just beyond BELIEVability, God help us!

NNPC should be competing with the best of international oil giants.
They should be bidding for oil contracts around the world, just like PETROBRAS of Brazil.
They should be fully privatized with shares listing on floor of the nigerian stock exchange.

You are just being clever by half.This is how your region goes around to deceive your people about marginalization.

The time has come for the real owners of the oil, the Niger Deltans to be given the first priority in the appointment of heads of petroleum agencies.

Let the Hausas stop all the foods being sold to the Igbo lands and the Yorubas send all your brothers that are doing business on their land away then you will know that Igbos are finished.

I like the move. Kachikwu to me is the best thing to happen to this cabinet. He knows his onions about the oil sector.

But if I may ask, do they have the constitutional right to "unbundle" the NNPC without approval from the jokers at NASS?

He knows onions yet there is no fuel

Jeez here I was thinking the PIB had passed the Senate.
Talk of grand frustration.

Buhari is taking the bull by the horns I still find no fault in joining the Islamic Coalition, we have joined many others in the past and I don't see what this is of worry. Well to bigoted Christians maybe to realistic Nigerians no.

GEJ had no balls, well beyond it being left in the hands of PEJ and many puppeteers who stringed him. He could not even effect the recommendation of the SNC he put together and payed so much for

Buhari is doing what many of us want but would not praise for the hate of the man from Daura, he is telling the no good NASS, a most corrupt bunch of animals he does not need them to slow down the growth of the nation.

That NASS for all it's worth cost the nation too much for the little return they provide.
