From BAMIGBOLA GBOLAGUNTE, Osogbo
Tuesday, March 20, 2012
Hearing continued
yesterday at an Osogbo
High Court on the case of
an alleged rape of 23-year-
old Helen Okpara, who was
a National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) member by
a traditional ruler in Osun State, Oba Adebukola
Alli, the Alowa of Ilowa in Obokun local
government area of the state. The victim revealed
how the monarch raped and bruised her private
part.
“The monarch came over me and I started
panicking and ran into a toilet where he started
struggling with my clothes and pulled it off. He
collected my clothes and said he was going to soak
them in water. He came inside the room and
switched off the light, he struggled with me on bed
and that was how he raped me. I kept shouting
but the Oba told me that nobody would hear me.
And after I noticed that something was dropping
from my private part.”
Okpara who recently completed her national
service in Ilowa, the monarch’s domain was led in
evidence by the principal state counsel, Mr. Biodun
Badiora and she took her time to explain to the
court how Oba Adebukola forced her to bed.
Miss Okpara, while narating her ordeal said, “I was
engaged by the monarch to distribute forms for a
computer training he organized and after
distributing the computer training form to the
participants, I told the Oba that we are through for
the day and he said I should wait that he was
going to drop me on the way to my house. So I
waited for him and he drove me in his car but
when we got to the front of my house where I was
expected to drop, he said I would have to follow
him to Osogbo for the registration of the forms,
saying that the state government is expecting the
forms.”
She explained further : “I told the Oba that it was
late and that I can’t make it to Osogbo but he
made a promise to bring me back to the village
whatever time it cost. When we got to his house in
Osogbo, he didn’t mention anything about the
registration of the forms, so I told him I wanted to
leave but he said it was already getting late and
that he couldn’t risk driving at night.”
“I told the Oba to drop me in front of a police
station that I would find my way home, he didn’t
comply. Instead, he went inside a room and came
out with a bundle of N200 notes and threw it at
me that I should collect, because he mentioned
how impressed he was with my performance at the
computer training centre but I told him I didn’t
need his money.”
According to Okpara, Oba Adebukola went in with
the money and when he came out of the room, he
had undressed
“When I told him I was leaving, he said I wasn’t
going back that night and that he had been using
many ways to get at me but I always turned down
his advances and he said he was going to harm me
that night.”
The accused monarch was in court and it would be
recalled that he had told the court through his
counsel, Tawfiq Tewogbade that he made love to
Helen and that she enjoyed it while it lasted.

According to a statement released by MTN Uganda
on Wednesday, the company has reported its first
case of mobile money fraud costing billions of
shillings. Ugandan police have began
investigations into how the transactions were
made, including the loopholes which could have
allowed criminals to use the service to steal from
users and telecom operators. The police say
employees running the mobile money service
could be involved in the scam.

The attempt by President Jonathan to withdraw
the ‘fuel subsidy’ largely to raise revenues for a
wasteful government united Nigerians across
ethnic, religious and social strata for over a
week. One of the unintended consequences of
the administration’s unilateral action was
bringing to the front-burner questions about the
size of government, the excessive cost of
governance, and the fraud and corruption in the
oil sector. Nigerians now know that their
president would rather impose an overnight tax
on them than undertake an orderly deregulation
of the petroleum sector. They also know the
difference between an isolated fuel price hike
(for immediate revenue) and the policy review-
legislation-independent regulation-competitive
markets path that was implemented in the
telecoms sector deregulation between 2000 and
2001. Nigeria will be the better for it, as we are
now unanimous on seeing that some of the
spending items like the near N1 billion for food
in the Villa are justified and put in context.
For this reason, over the ensuing weeks, this
column will undertake a detailed sectoral
analysis of the 2012 budget proposal submitted
by the President to the National Assembly in
December 2011. Our objective is to enlighten all
stakeholders on the provisions contained in the
budget and suggest areas to reduce waste,
question spending priorities and cut out what
appears dysfunctional. Our hope is that the
National Assembly will in the end make the
budget work for the people of Nigeria. Today,
we will look at the revenues profile for 2012 and
issues arising there-from, and then throw a
searchlight on the much-headlined expenditure
for the security sector. Details of the budget are
available online here.
The federation expects to generate about N9.4
trillion in revenues in 2012, consisting of about
N6.4 trillion from oil and gas, N2.7 trillion from
personal income and company taxes, custom
duties, and value-added tax. Another N250
billion is expected from special levies and taxes
like the Education Tax. Out of this total, the
Federal Government share amounts to about
N3.6 trillion. This is because the FGN gets about
48.5% of the oil and non-oil revenues and taxes,
about 14% of VAT and gets to keep all of its
independent revenue. Omitted from the budget
is an additional 7.5% of the total – special funds
that include the ecological fund, the Federal
Capital Territory and mineral resources fund.
Also omitted is how much is deducted from the
gross oil revenue as our contribution to the Joint
Venture Cash Calls. All these need to be detailed
out for the National Assembly to do its
constitutional duty and ensure accountability,
but they are missing from both the Budget and
the Medium Term Expenditure Framework for
2012-2015.
Starting with projected revenue of about N3.6
trillion, the budget envisages a total spend of
N4.7 trillion, meaning that we intend to spend
about N1.1 trillion more than we expect to earn
this year. Where is the extra cash coming from?
It is not from ‘fuel subsidy’. The 2012 budget
already assumed that not a penny will be
deducted to subsidize petrol. The FGN hopes to
finance the deficit by borrowing some N794
billion this year, and get some windfall from
privatization (N10 billion), signature bonus (N75
billion) and the now-depleted excess crude
account (N225 billion). No provision has been
made in the Budget to transfer any amounts to
the Sovereign Wealth Fund. Once again, these
are items that need to be detailed for us as
citizens to know, and for the National Assembly
to decide upon.
What are the implications of these pieces of
information? How does the plan to borrow an
additional N794 billion sit with the
administration’s desire to “reduce” our
borrowing from the current levels nearing 20%
of GDP? What does the projected medium term
expenditure framework reveal about our
revenue and spending patterns? Are these
consistent with the desire of Nigerians to see a
smaller, less expensive and more efficient
federal government? We ask our readers to
bear these in mind as they reflect on the
numbers presented herein.
We should also note that with the ‘fuel subsidy’
not fully gone, the FGN’s assumption of zero-
subsidy-deduction is off the table, and the hole
in the budget will increase by at least half of the
‘expected N400+ billion’ to N1.3 trillion, so
further borrowing is necessary to fund this gap.
And as I wrote last week, there is not a single
kobo anywhere for the so-called SURE-P
programme unless the National Assembly raises
the benchmark price of crude oil by at least
another $20 with the risks attendant to that.
Looking closely at the spending proposals,
commendable efforts have been made to reduce
the level of statutory transfers to INEC, UBEC,
NDDC and the National Judicial Council. Sadly,
the transfer to the National Assembly remains at
the 2011 level of N150 billion. Unless this is
reduced, we will spend an average of N320
million per legislator in 2012 at a time when
Nigerians are clearly disgusted at the very high
quarterly allowances they draw, over and above
what the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and
Fiscal Commission has approved for them. The
National Assembly should listen to the voice of
Nigerians and reduce this provision
substantially. The provision for the salaries and
allowances of public servants has risen by about
N150 billion from the 2011 levels to N1.655
trillion. This increase cannot be due to the usual
annual salary increment. There is something
more and it contradicts the stated goal of the
administration to reduce the cost of governance.
The National Assembly should scrutinize this
more closely with a very sharp knife!
Other items of expenditure that need closer
review are the overheads – the N11 billion for
international travel, more than N30 billion for
“research and development”, maintenance of
vehicles, furniture, etc., over N20 billion,
stationery, magazines and newspapers at over
N5 billion, and nearly N17 billion (more than
$110 million) to purchase yet another plane for
the president, at a time when we are being
asked to sacrifice and pay more for petrol,
transportation, food and rent. There are other
items we will highlight in each sector but these
broad areas are indicative for the time being of
the need for close scrutiny by the citizens and
the National Assembly.
We will now briefly look at the provisions for
the security sector. The president announced
that the sector got allocated some N922 billion
for 2011. This number is the sum of the
budgetary allocations of the ministries of
defence, police affairs, and Interior plus Police
Commands and Formations and the Intelligence
Community (NSA’s office). The president forgot
to add the following – (1) Amnesty Programme
(N74 billion), (2) Military Pensions N60 billion,
(3) Army Internal Operations (N17 billion), (5)
Police Service Commission (N2.5bn), (6)
Customs, Immigration & Pensions (N8.6bn), (7)
SSS/NIA Pensions (N11.2bn), (9) Death Benefits
– Army & Police (N5.4bn), (10) Federal Road
Safety Commission (N28.9bn), (11) Maritime
Security (N4bn) and Police Reform Fund
(N15bn). Adding all these up brings the total of
our spending on the security sector to N1.145
trillion, not the N922bn highlighted. The
equivalent tally for 2011 was N1.174 trillion,
about N30 billion higher than this year.
We will begin the analysis of the security sector
with the budget of the Intelligence Community –
the office of the NSA, the SSS (Internal
Security), the National Intelligence Agency
(External Counter-Intelligence) and the
Presidential Air Fleet (PAF). The budget of the
Defence Intelligence Agency and Directorate of
Military Intelligence are under the Ministry of
Defence, and are therefore excluded.
It is worth noting that the NSA is one of the 20
special advisers approved by the National
Assembly for the president, but he sits in the
Federal Executive Council as a member. His
office is an advisory office and his main job is
coordinating the activities of the security
agencies, with staff strength of about 100. Each
agency is independent of the NSA and routinely
reports directly to the president. It is therefore
difficult to explain how the NSA has the highest
budget of all in the intelligence community-
higher than that of the SSS with about 15,000
staff and the smaller but far more effective,
NIA. The NSA’s budget consists of N212 million
for personnel cost, N3.64 billion for overheads
and a whopping N33 billion for capital projects!
The respective proposals for the SSS are N17bn,
N5bn and a paltry N1.8bn! No wonder the SSS is
handicapped in dealing with security threats
within our borders! The NIA is not much better
with N19.7bn for staff costs, N3.9bn for
overheads and N2.6bn for cap[ital projects.
A cursory look at the NSA’s capital projects is
even more revealing. Over N1.1bn will be spent
on satellite communications, over N3.5bn on
something called “data signal centre/
equipment” and N717 million for Iridium/
Thuraya Communication platform. I thought that
Iridium went out of business nearly a decade
ago, and Thuraya is an insecure form of
communication used mainly by global companies
to connect far-flung personnel. Are our agencies
using this for secure communications in the 21st
century? I wondered about that until I saw the
provision of N78 million for a presidential
communications network and N27bn for the
establishment of a “strategic operations
centre”. We all hope that the most advanced
technologies will be adopted in deploying these –
and certainly not low-earth orbit satellite
systems like the defunct Iridium!
The Presidential Air Fleet is under the NSA’s
office. Apart from modest provisions of N15.6
million for personnel costs, N969 million for
overheads (spares, checks, and aviation fuel can
be expensive!), there is a provision of N16.8bn
($110 million) for a brand new plane for the
presidency. This is quite an expensive plane
because a fully-equipped high-end Gulfstream 5
can be acquired brand new for between $40-50
million. The plane type and specifications were
not mentioned in the budget, and these should
interest the citizens of Nigeria and the National
Assembly.
Within the budget of the State House is a
proposal to buy two brand new, bullet-proof
Mercedes Benz 600E cars for the presidency at
about $1 million each. I guess since our two
topmen are getting new cars, it makes sense for
them to have an additional new aircraft as well –
but in a year in which we are living above our
means, spending at least N1.1 trillion we do not
have, and borrowing N794 billion to make ends
meet? We are broke as a nation, we now know.
We will collapse if the fuel subsidy is not
withdrawn, according to our president. Are our
leaders not too expensive? Are they sensitive to
our cries for improved electricity, affordable
transportation and jobs for our youths? The ball
is in the court of the National Assembly to
restructure this budget.`

By Demo Adewusi:

I have read and watched several arguments pervading the public domain since the announcement of the removal of the fuel subsidy. I have been very circumspect in pitching my tent during these turbulent times.  However, it is clear that all Nigerians are justifiably angry. By Nigerians I refer to the majority of people who have their own hands in their own pockets! 

Despite the fervent uproar that heralded this unpopular  government policy,  some things have been achieved. What amazes me is the speed at which these two things have been achieved:

First, the truth is coming out concerning the mono-trade that props-up our nation. Veiled behind contrasting facts, figures and extrapolations is the truth. More people have come out with their own versions of the  real reason why Nigeria needs to stop a subsidy that  should not have existed in the first instance.

Second is that Nigerians have become more perceptive at seeing the big lie that has been sold to them for the past fifty years. 

The government has been a big lie, its policies a poignant reminder of the wickedness of man to man and its appetite for waste compares only to Usain Bolt’s abilities to break his own world records over and over again. Subsequent Nigerian governments have elevated corruption and wasteful spending to a new art form. No stable nation competes with us in this genre, we are record breakers.

Let us briefly examine the origins of the fuel subsidy, and the carnage of catastrophy that has followed. We discovered oil in the southern part of Nigeria and sited refineries in Warri, Port Harcourt and Kaduna. In typical Nigerian style, our refineries were left to deteriorate while turn around maintenance contracts were constantly awarded to incompetent firms. Miraculously, our leaders also forgot to build additional refineries to cater for the burgeoning population. Our three refineries were built when Nigeria’s population was about eighty million people. While we doubled in size, our leaders were more focused on lining their own pockets than planning for a growing population.

As far back as the Babangida years, Nigeria had been experiencing shortfalls between internally refined petroleum products and actual demand for petroleum products.  Professor Tam David West managed the challenge by exchanging crude oil for finished products. He devised a system where countries were paid in crude oil for refining petroleum products, ensuring that nobody made money from the situation.
This problem of lack of internal capacity to refine crude oil is perennial, just that the politicians took over and devised a clever way of making money from their own incompetence.

The politicians created a class of super rich Nigerians who became cohorts in funding elections and perpetuating corrupt people in government. How else can you explain the fact that everyone who has donated two hundred million naira to the presidential campaign fund in the past two elections are all major players in the oil sector? How would they be paid back? SUBSIDY! 

People like Aliko Dangote, Femi Otedola and Wale Tinubu all became purse keepers and financiers for the politicians, empowered and capable to provide cash for political conquest. Some of them barely existed ten years ago! The politicians neglected the refineries, did not build new ones and created the elaborate scheme of phantom subsidy in order to solve their own problems, not ours!

Like all businessmen, the “oil marketers” were quick to sense opportunity. Several of them set up accounts with banks to harness the business opportunity of subsidy, not petroleum products marketing. Sanusi Lamido Sanusi provides insight into these fraudulent dealings in his write up:

“You establish an LC for importing 20,000MT of PMS and the PPPRA says this is at a landed cost of N145 for example per litre. So u know that for every litre in that vessel you will get at least N85 as subsidy. Now you have a number of "possiblities": 

1. You can off load 5,000 MT and bribe customs and other officials to sign papers confirming u offloaded 20k MT. Then do the same across the chain with a paper trail showing you delivered 20k MT to a tank farm, and maybe even that u transported it to Maiduguri entitling you to a share of the price equalization fund. Maybe for N20-N30 per litre u bribe all those who sign the papers. The 15k MT you take to Benin or Ghana or Cameroun and sell at market price thus makin an additional "profit" of N55/ltr on 15,000MT! 

2 you can just forge documents and have them stamped without bringing in anything and collect the subsidy-PPPRA pays based on DOCUMENTS. 

3 you can bring in the fuel, load on tankers, sell some at N65N some at 80 some at 100 some across the land borders. 

You can do all this and no one can catch it or prove it because somebody was paid to sign off on docs. And with a high enough margin there is too much temptation to be resisted and firepower for bribing officials. 

When I spoke to the house of reps I told them why I was suspecting fraud. It starts from PPPRA "allocations" based on "capacity". You will find a company like Mobil with capacity for say 60,000 MT and a relatively unknown name with a capacity of say 90k MT. Red alert number 1. 

Although PPPRA is supposed to give license only to marketers with a national distribution network you see names of companies where you have never seen a filling station in their name.
I was a chief risk officer in UBA and in FBN for many years approving loans so I know the name of every big player in every industry that nigerian banks lend to as these are among the biggest banks in the country. I see names on the list I don't recognise either from portfolios. I looked at or industry studies over the years. Red alert number 2. 

I studied the papers presented to PPPRA in a short period in 2010 (I won't tell you how I got them!). And I was surprised that on some days over 10 vessels are said to have discharged cargo in lagos on the same day-clearly the same officers stamping and "verifying" that the vessels were SEEN. Is it really realistic that on the same day 13-15 vessels can discharge in Lagos? Red alert number 3. “

According to the same write up, Femi Otedola’s Zenon and AP owe the Nigerian banking system about 220 billion naira in bad loans that have been taken over by AMCON, yet he did not have stock of petroleum products worth a fraction of that amount. You can bet he also did not have the cash in his corporate accounts. More importantly, he could still afford to give the Jonathan/Sambo campaign organization 200 million during the election season.

I have taken time to quote the Governor of Nigeria’s Central Bank in order to show you, my reader, the sleaze that makes for an arresting Hollywood thriller. On all sides, you see subterfuge, greed and corruption. You see institutionalized  kleptomania across the value chain, oil marketers, port officials, PPPRA, DPR and bankers who knew the truth and never said it until now!

It is clear to me that the subsidy scheme was created and executed by the government to enrich their friends and themselves. It means the nation budgeted huge amounts of money which we knew was going to be pocketed by a few people.

Why is the Goodluck government removing the subsidy? Profligacy is not sustainable on the long run! They now want us to pay for their incompetence. It is clear that no official wants to let the truth out of its hiding place. We are broke! Our external reserve is down to 27 billion dollars from 80 billion when Obasanjo handed over. Our internal debt is 5 trillion naira. External debt is back to 35 billion dollars.  Excess crude oil account is down to zero. We are broke yet the only rich people in Nigeria are politicians and some pastors. Politicians who earn more than every other earthly government and pastors who collect earthly money, lay hands on and promise heavenly bliss to men of shady character. Some of these super rich pastors are not saying anything now. Some of them are speaking as a matter of expediency. Some of them have private jets with which to fly out of Nigeria. They share that same luxury with the  dirty politicians they bless and celebrate with front row seats in their churches.

We need to ask our government what they are getting paid for. Is it the national pride that we currently enjoy or our infrastructure that is out of this world? We still have polio in Nigeria in 2012. We have hospitals that are not fit to treat animals. No government primary school competes with a public school in South Africa. Our universities provide better criminals than scholars. We do not have roads. in the place of roads we have long stretches of death traps designed to keep the population in check through untimely death. We do not have electricity. We have lost our factories to Ghana. Just a few grumbling manufacturers remain, who are yet to get land in Ghana.

We have lost everything we met on the land. Cocoa, palm oil, groundnuts, cotton, cashew and rubber have been forgotten and are better produced by nations who came to learn from us. We have lost our moral compass, our society is fractured, our statehood is threatened. Our citizens are in all prisons around the world. Some of them prefer foreign prisons to Nigeria. Our passport is treated with disdain everywhere you present it. Why should our Senate Leader earn 600 million naira per annum? Why should our senators earn 30 million naira per month? Why should our National Assembly gulp 1.2 trillion naira per annum while we try to save 1.4 trillion from subsidy removal ? Why should our government be this big with special advisers on cassava and beans affairs? Do we need 72 ministers and 36 states? Do we need a Minister for Water Resources when 95 percent of Nigeria cannot recognize a water faucet? Why would our president spend close to a billion on food while close to eighty percent live on less than a dollar a day?  Why should he budget a billion for generators and diesel when he is urging us to believe in his power sector reform? Why does our President need  6 private jets? Why do our governors move around with twenty-vehicle convoys while David Cameron has just two vehicles and one outrider? 

Why should our politicians keep their salaries when Obama slashed his? Why should we continue to be wasteful when the handwriting on the wall says “danger”? Why should we believe this government when it says the subsidy gain will be properly reinvested? Despite my utmost respect for Christopher Kolade, I have this ominous feeling that he is being set up to be rubbished. Same for Alfa Belgore!

Labaran Maku must be suffering from foot and mouth disease if he really used that cavity to announce 1,600 buses as palliative measure for 170 million people. Lagbus has 5,000 buses. What impact will that make? You mean the government of Nigeria needs to subject her citizens to hardship in order to buy 1,600 buses. On the strength of the initial information on how the  savings will be invested, given by Labaran Maku and the minister for Labour,  the government is bereft of both ideas and dictionaries! 

To move Nigeria forward, we must do the following:
·    Demand more transparency from the government especially in oil dealings and allocations. Remember the way Okonjo Iweala was publishing the allocations to all tiers of government.
·   Demand immediate reduction of the size of this government and its wasteful ways.
·      Demand specific prioritized projects which should be tied to the subsidy savings (if we negotiate a reduction instead of outright reversal).
·      We need to demand same from our state governments, prune down the waste.
·      We need to ensure our protest is peaceful and organized to avoid loss of life.
