MELE KYARI'S CORRUPTION CASES ALLIGIANCE TO BUHARI CABAL SABOTAGE AND DESPERATE MOVE FOR ANOTHER TERM

The first and current Group Chief Executive Officer (GCEO) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mele Kyari, has continued to employ a potion of lies and misinformation and tact to cover his corrupt undertakings in Nigeria's Oil and Gas sector. He has an aptitude in the art of fraud/deceit in the last four years in office. He has compromised corporate governance. He has continued to act and dance in the gallery. To perfect his plans, he continued to exhibit extraordinary energy in state functions outside the mandate of NNPCL, aimed at appeasing the Presidency by all means at all costs. All this is to distract Tinubu's attention from his past corruption schemes and also to gain favour for another term.

However, there has never been crimes without tracks the world over. He is a musketeer who dances naked in public. He poses to the public as an upright administrator. Meanwhile, his corruption imprints are unprecedented. He is being referred to; as the cat with nine lives, considering how he was spared by security, law enforcement, and anti-corruption agencies during former president Muhammadu Buhari's regime. Given that, some members of the cabal were his key benefactors, he became their adopted son, and his/their enormous corrupt practices are shielded to date. Paradoxically, the cabal, that hitherto fought President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's quest for Presidency has strategically left a "son" behind, and the milking continues.

Now, to him, as he still occupies the seat, is an opportunity to consolidate. He travels to all places that matter, armed to the teeth, with his briefcase, reaching and holding nocturnal meetings with all persons of influence with unfettered access to the presidency, to secure another term as GCEO NNPCL. It was gathered from impeccable sources within and outside the corridor of power that Kyari was deploying his past corruption to get the deal done.

In the same vein, it was discovered that Kyari didn't leave the President's closest/trusted aides aside. He is doing all of this to perfect a whole concept deal on his mission. Away from that, to sway public attention. He is engaging with multiple investors to partner with NNPCL. He engineered the launching of IPP in Gwagwalada, and recently, NNPCL under Kyari secured a $3bn Afreximbank loan to stabilize the Naira. WHAT A SACM! Meanwhile, according to reputable sources, Kyari and his accomplices approached the Bank for $5bn, but sensing indices of fraud, the Bank was careful of Kyari's antics, reducing the loan to $3bn with strict terms of agreement and later after dd cancelled the loan approach.
Similarly, away from his constitutional mandate, Kyari was conspicuously sighted amongst the group of Islamic religious leaders on a mission to broker peace and restore democratic rule in the Niger Republic.
All these are not only to woo Mr President and gain his trust and confidence but also to prove that he can deliver if given another opportunity to serve. This is to justify the recommendations of his past and new benefactors to get Mr. President's approval.

Interestingly, this was a man in the recent past who was enmeshed in a series of sermons and invitations by the leadership of the National Assembly and anti-corruption agencies over lingering corruption allegations and indictments. Bribery has swirled around him like an ominous storm cloud, casting doubt on his actions and integrity. It has become expedient for God and the country to unravel the intricate corruption strings that ensnared Kyari, a journey through the murky waters of political maneuvering and corporate entanglements. We shall untie the thread of connivance, trace the steps, and navigate the complex battleground where the truth and deception collide.

Furthermore, this is a revelation of unmasking Kyari's corruption exploits, a tale of unravelling deception and the pursuit of transparency in a world where shadows hold sway.

First and foremost, Kyari employed foreigners to head NNPCL Trading Operations making a non-Nigerian citizen in charge of selling the Nigerian crude oil. To further sabotage the system and humiliate the Nigerian entity mele kyari brought in a foreigner to become the Managing Director of nnpc Retail and also a foreigner in charge of NNPCL Exploration arm NEPL which is not only a national data security sabotage but clear gross mismanagement. There is nowhere in the world where you will find a foreigner controlling the sales and operations of a state-owned entity. The illustration below depicts the Kyari's NNPCL scenario:

FOREIGNERS AS DIRECTORS OF A FGN-OWNED ENTITY

The appointment of foreigners serving as directors of a federal government entity is a breach spearheaded by Kyari. This is the first point of compromise, disloyalty to the President and the country, and above all, an act of treason. It sparks curiosity in the discerning minds. It points to the scheming of a highly organized syndicate for money laundering. The appointment has since generated heated debates and has created divisions amongst the senior staff and high-ranking officials of NNPCL. Moreover, it has sparked multifaceted debates over Kyari's unilateral decision to hire foreigners into the federal government entity. Some senior officials confided that the reason given by Kyari was that there is perceived incompetence or lack of required capacity deficit in NNPCL. This is absurd, and a strategy of the Buhari cabal still controlling mele kyari.

Appointing foreigners to top Key NNPCL subsidiaries is susceptible and need not be entertained by Mr. President. This contravenes his principles and philosophies, aimed at transforming the sector for optimal revenue generation. The NNPCL has remained the most relevant government entity that continued to play a critical role in shaping the nation's economic outlook, therefore, its leadership must remain in the national interest. How can we trust such foreigners with access to the critical economic data of our dear Nation?

We call on the President as a matter of urgency, to call Kyari to order and replace these appointees with Nigerian industry professionals who have the requisite capacities to change the narrative and set the entity on the map of robust development without compromising national security and prosperity. Further checks revealed that, it could not be ascertained, whether these expatriate directors underwent thorough security and background screening by the country's relevant security and law enforcement agencies. The President need not be told where the loyalty of these directors falls.

Moreover, given the manner and circumstances that characterized the recruitment process of these expatriates, the principles of accountability and transparency are at stake. This development has caused a great level of disgruntledness amongst top officials of NNPCL with adverse implications. Ensuring transparency and accountability in the activities of NNPCL under Kyari to the federal government is non-negotiable. More so, the foreign directors lack an understanding of Nigerian citizens' unique needs, problems, and challenges. Kyari's alignment with these contractors has continued to lead to decisions that do not serve the best interest, of the Nation. The perceived Presidency's silence over this development has raised questions over Mr. President's commitment to revitalize the sector.

On the other hand, the $1.5billion borrowed for the rehabilitation of the Port Harcourt refinery has remained unaccounted for, and there is no ongoing rehabilitation exercise at the moment. The scandal has continued to perplex industry experts and professionals, and they have sustained calls to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to institute a fresh and robust investigation to uncover the magnitude of corruption perpetrated in the guise of rehabilitation under Kyari's watch.

The Port Harcourt Refinery scandal is so deep that it can only be discovered by an uncompromising investigation agency within or outside the country. The refinery was shut in March 2019 for the first phase of the so-called repair works after the government secured the service of an Italian company, Maire Tecnimont S.P.A according to the former Minister of State, are experts in refinery maintenance, to handle the scoping of the refinery complex, with oil major Eni appointed technical adviser. The funding of the repairs was said to be from many components consisting of NNPCL, Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), budgetary provisions, and Afreximbank.

On November 22, 2019, the House of Representatives ordered an investigation into the financial allocations set aside for Turn-Around Maintenance (TAM) of the petroleum refineries in Port Harcourt, Warri, and Kaduna, estimated to have cost $396.33 million in four years. The inquiry is initiated following the motion titled "Call for investigation of the $396.33 million allegedly spent in four years on turnaround maintenance of the nation's three refineries. "At the plenary session, Ifeanyi Momah, representing the Ihiala federal constituency of Anambra State, called for the inquiry, alleging that the amount spent on maintenance of the facilities had not yielded the desired results. Till today, the report of the so-called investigation by the House of Representatives has not surfaced.

In 2021, NNPCL reiterated that repairs had started after FEC approved $1.5 billion for the project. The first phase was initially scheduled, to be rounded up in 18 months (December 2022) from the point of the agreement, taking the refinery to 90 per cent production capacity with the second and third phases completed within 24 months and 44 months, respectively. However, the schedule of activities, currently on the ground, shows that the timelines are already being missed without results.

The first phase of the refinery was expected to start operation by March 2023, following 24 months of project execution in Area 5 of the complex, according to the findings. Phase 2 of the rehabilitation project will restore the Port Harcourt Refineries to a processing capacity of 135,000 bpd (90%) delivering a total processing capacity of 189,000 bpd by December 2023 following 33 months of project execution in Areas 1 & 2 of the complex. In Phase 3 of the project, the entire refinery allied infrastructure will be restored and upgraded, most notably the fluid catalytic cracking unit and other ancillary operations.

The orchestrated plot to loot $1.5 billion hiding under the term of Turn Around Maintenance of the Port Harcourt Refinery Company (PHRC), by Kyari and the then Managing Director, Port Harcourt Refinery, Ahmed Dikko, and some close aides of former President Muhammadu Buhari was uncovered. Italy's Maire Tecnimont was awarded the $1.5bn Engineering, Procurement and Construction, EPC, contract from the NNPCL.

The contract is for the rehabilitation works of the Port Harcourt Refinery Complex. Investigations revealed that the fraud surrounding the award, of the TAM of the Port Harcourt Refinery started when little-known Tecnimont, an Italian Company, coopted Daewoo as a partner to bid for the $1.5billion contract. Sources disclosed that Kyari, Dikko, and some elements in the Presidency, believed that the combination of Tecnimont and Daewoo to bid for the contract would beat others such as TechnipFMC, Saipem, Hyundai Engineering Company Ltd, Petrofac, Tecnicas Reuinidas, and Worley Parsons and convince the public that they have the capacity for the job.

Investigations revealed that shortly after Tecnimont won the bid, they kicked out Daewoo and brought in Montego Upstream Services Limited incorporated on November 25, 2010, with Ununuma Nwuche and Owuze Nwuche as Directors. Tecnimont and Montego Upstream are small businesses with no capacity for a $1.5billion job, do not even have a fabrication yard in Nigeria, and have nothing. How are they going to do turnaround maintenance of the Port Harcourt refinery for $1.5billion without facilities? The source affirmed.

Further disclosures revealed that while Daewoo was kicked out of its partnership with Tecnimont because they would not accept a dirty deal, Montego Upstream, owned by relations of ABC Orjiakor, the owner of Seplat Petroleum, was nominated by the duo of Kyari and Dikko as the preferred partners of the Italian company for the $1.5billion contract. Sources say that Montego Upstream's highest job so far done since it was incorporated in 2010 is in the region of $6.5 million. Further investigations revealed that a Due Diligent report carried out, on Montego Upstream came out negative, indicating that the company is yet another portfolio entity being used as a Special Purpose Vehicle to loot.

Discreet investigations also revealed that the decision to keep Dikko as MD of the Port Harcourt refinery after his tenure had expired was to ensure that he supervised the sham “Turn Around Maintenance”. While Tecnimont has received $150 million for mobilization, Montego Upstream has also collected millions of Dollars in mobilization fees despite the negative Due Diligent report. Sources say that it took the efforts of the Kaduna State former governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, and Kyari to convince the Presidency, to keep Dikko as MD of the Port Harcourt Refinery. WHY HAS KYARI NOT BEEN SACKED?

According to a source, the past cabal in the Presidency was desperately shopping for funds for the 2023 elections TO SUPPORT Atiku, and turn-around maintenance project of the Port Harcourt Refinery became an identified source for quick and easy cash. Sources further revealed that the then Minister of State, Petroleum, Timipre Sylva, had warned against handing the Turn Around Maintenance of the Port Harcourt Refinery to quacks. His warning was ignored, by Kyari and Dikko. The Minister even told them, that he would be stoned to death in the South-South if the turn-around maintenance of the refinery is not properly done.

Again, it can be recalled that the NNPCL recently signed an agreement with Daewoo Engineering & Construction to rehabilitate Kaduna Refinery & Petrochemical Company Ltd (KRPC) for $740,669,600.00 with a duration of Twenty-One (21) months. The 110,000 bpd capacity Kaduna Refinery is one of Nigeria's four dysfunctional refineries that have produced no fuel for years and the country has to rely on imported petroleum products. It recorded an N22.9 billion loss in 2021.

It will interest the President to know that, Dikko is now an adviser to Kyari on Refineries Rehabilitation to ensure that the looting spree continues. It will also interest the President and anyone who cares to know that the list of Kyari's corruption instances/cases is limitless. He has also been lobbying and extending a hand of friendship to the proprietors/heads of influential print, broadcast, and online media platforms in the country imploring that they should not offer their media spaces against him.

Meanwhile, despite concerted efforts by Kyari to prove that he is capable of delivering if given another mandate. The media is recently awash with reports that Nigeria lost over N 8.7 trillion at N 758/$ between January and August 2023, because of the country’s inability to meet its quota allocated by the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). More so, this is coming amid a deeper debt crisis, with experts calling on the federal government to take urgent steps to boost revenue by taming oil theft.

Conclusively, the Nigerian citizens are calling on Mr. President on solid terms, as a matter of urgency, to SACK, probe, and prosecute Kyari. These have become expedient given that the time to redeem his campaign promises is now, and these include but not limited to, attracting competitive investments, massive divestment, and improved fiscal regimes in a bid to boost oil and gas production and stimulate Africa's biggest economy.

NIGERIA AT 63!

As Nigeria hits 63, we are arguably at our most challenged state as a Nation. While Nigeria has been deteriorating on many fronts over the last 40 odd years, we seem to have taken a sharp turn for the worse over the last decade. The middle class that seemed to be growing in the early days of our democracy has been under severe attack in the last decade. Food prices have risen due to the triple whammy of lower food production due to insecurity, high cost of transportation due to escalating diesel prices and devaluation of the local currency – making imports more expensive. Besides food, the country is firmly in the grips of an inflationary wave. Transportation, rent, energy, house prices have all escalated, while incomes – legal incomes at least- have been constant or at best have seen marginal increases.
Therefore, on this day of Nigeria’s independence, I offer my thoughts on how to revamp the Nigerian economy. There are many aspects to the work that need to be done, but I would like to discuss it on the following themes. What is written here is just high level. In the interest of time and space, I will not delve into the finer details of the themes discussed here.

ECONOMY:
Private Sector Participation: While Nigeria claims to operate a capitalist economy, the government, particularly at the Federal and State levels holds undue influence over economic activity. In order to kick start economic activity, wage growth and productive money circulation, Nigeria needs to hand the reign of the economy to the private sector. The private sector can allocate capital more efficiently, will create better quality jobs, generate tax income for the government and ensure that critical infrastructure is far better maintained. Areas where the private sector will do a better job include managing our airports, managing the railway sector, managing high traffic roads, managing ports,
Therefore, the government should do the following:
• Concession our international airports
• Concession the newly constructed railways and allow private railway operators to run it.
• Concession critical road infrastructure, such as Lagos-Ibadan; Port Harcourt Enugu; Lagos -Shagamu -Benin; Abuja -Kaduna-Kano etc
• Concession Warri, Port Harcourt and Calabar ports
• Sell government properties across the nation, particularly in Lagos.
• Reduce nnpc stake in JV’s to a non-controlling stake. nnpc has held the oil sector back by not paying cash calls and slowing down on new oil and gas projects.

Revitalizing the Middle Class: Relative to our huge population of more than 200 million people, Nigeria’s GDP is relatively low. GDP is the Gross Domestic Product and in simple terms is the total value of goods and services produced in a country. When looked at this way, and we consider the number of companies and industries that have closed shop and/or left Nigeria in the last 20 years, its not surprising why our GDP is low relative to our size – Michellin, Dunlop, Shoprite, Mr Price, Exide batteries, Game, GSK, Procter & Gamble, WEMPCO Steel, Etisalat, Woolworths and many more have all left the country in recent years.

There are many factors for this, but one which I want to focus on is the disappearing middle class. If the ability of the Nigerian to purchase the goods and services of these companies continues to dwindle, then its not surprising that many if them cannot break even. One way to revitalize Nigeria’s economy is to bring back the middle class. One way to do this is to dramatically increase the wages of the lower-level public workers, whilst also reducing the number of staff to balance things out. I’ve always taken the view that it’s better to employ 5 people and pay N150k a month, than employ 50people and pay them N30k a month. Whilst prices of things have become expensive, its not always that these things are overpriced, but rather the wages of Nigerian workers are ridiculously low!

Therefore, the government should do the following:
• Implement the Orasanye report and reduce agencies, ministries and parastatals. Nigeria should target a 40% reduction in staff strength in the next 3 years. Of course, appropriate gratuities and severance should be paid where applicable.
• Convert many of these agencies and parastatals into limited liability companies owned by the government. That way they are self-managing and go off the government payroll. This will force efficiency and productivity. If they cannot ensure enough revenues to pay wages and operate, then they should do what other companies do – increase prices, reduce cost. If Arise TV and Channels can survive on their own, why can’t NTA!?
• Pay a better wage to those that remain. In my view, the national minimum wage should not be less than N150k net a month.

Civil Service Reform: Connected to the point above, even if we were able to reduce the over bloated civil service, even those why remain need to dramatically change their ways of working. The civils service must be run the way a private entity would manage its human resource. The organizational hierarchy must be very clear, with well documented job titles and job descriptions. Every position must be a box, with a clear mapping to the head of the organization. recruitment must be based on these established job roles. Promotion also needs to be merit/performance based. My spirit is always grated when I hear the popular phrase “I am due for promotion!” How can anyone be promoted simply due to the passage of time!? There is no measuring of performance to agreed targets, ways of working, proactive contributions, solutions provided, policy papers written etc How can a supervisor of maintenance in the Southeast zone of FERMA be promoted simply because he has been a supervisor for 10years, when the roads in the zone are in shocking state! What then has he been maintaining in that time that deserves a promotion?

Therefore, the Nigerian government should do the following:
• Reform the civil service to a performance-based reward system
• Employment should be done to fill vacant positions based on an established organizational structure.
• The process of creating and changing that organizational structure should be very firm and approved only by the Federal Executive Council after initial approval by the Head of Service.
• Promotion should only be if a vacancy on the next level exists and based on good performance ranking against established metrics at the beginning of the year

Tax Reform: The Nigerian state’s reliance on crude oil for revenues and foreign exchange for the past 5 decades has created a lazy government. Now with revenues from crude oil dwindling for many reasons, the government is realizing it must focus on tax revenues. Again, there are many aspects to improving tax collection and administration in Nigeria. But a few things I’d like to point out here. First, the wealthy in Nigeria need to pay their fair share. The wealthy are prone to evading tax all over the world, but its much worse in Nigeria. Officials of the tax revenue agencies in Nigeria are usually either bullied or bribed by the elite. Interestingly a wealthy Nigerian with a house in the US or UK cannot get around not paying property taxes. A $350k house in Houston will set you back circa $6k in property taxes each year. Yet the same individual with a N1bln house in Ikoyi either pays nothing at all or a paltry sum.

Asides the wealthy though, tax administration needs to improve to bring more people into the tax net. The easiest way to do this is with technology. There are many types of income that are not taxed in this country – income from rents, fees paid to realtors, income earned by caterers at events, income earned by comedians, musicians, MC’s, income earned by Uber drivers and many, many more typically go under the radar. No doubt, Nigerians feel entitled to evade taxes, due to the infrastructural deficiencies in Nigeria, but that’s a topic for another day.

Therefore, the Nigerian government should do the following:
• Provide more structure around activities of the Nigerian economy. For eg every rental agreement must be registered to have legal effect
• Professionalize many sectors of the economy. Someone shouldn’t be able to come from the village to Lagos to be a property agent without becoming a licensed member of Realtors Association of Nigeria. And to continue to be a member
• Make every Nigerian’s NIN their Tax Identification Number. And make the NIN a requirement of every economic activity, so that every person’s economic activity can be better tracked.
• Make it impossible to engage in economic activity without filing personal income taxes every year.
• However, the process of filing tax returns should be made very easy online. For those in paid employment it should be easy because its already covered by PAYE, but filing tax returns becomes more important to folks outside of paid employment. I’d like to see a Davido or Whizkid filing tax returns.
• Focus on the online economy. Netflix, Amazon prime video, apps on apple store and Google play store that Nigerians subscribe to cannot be operating in Nigeria and not paying taxes.

Energy Availability: To move the Nigerian economy forward, it needs to be powered by energy, the most important of which is electricity. That 200mln+ Nigerians are managing 5,000MW, while South Africa with 58mln people produces 58,000MW shows the scale of the gap that needs to be covered. Even with 24hr electricity, Nigeria will struggle to compete due to our many other structural and infrastructural deficiencies, but at least, that should be the minimum foundation of a level playing field.

Therefore, the Nigerian government should do the following:
• Prioritize the construction of the Mambilla 3,000MW hydro dam.
• Prioritize private sector led large scale solar and wind in secure parts of Nigeria with abundant solar radiation and wind resources.
• Increase domestic gas capacity to ensure stranded gas power plants across the country can produce at full capacity.
• Decouple the national grid. Let a GENCo bypass the national grid and sell to a specific DISCo on a willing buyer, willing seller basis if the capacity of the grid to get the power to the consumers is a hinderance.
• Create a simpler tiered electricity tariff structure, that protects the poor, low electricity consumers, but ensures fair pricing for those who consume a lot of electricity and can pay for it.

Export – leveraging on Nigerians in Diaspora: The need for more foreign exchange inflows into Nigeria is undeniable. The lack of forex supply during crippling demand is the reason why the Naira is currently at $/N750 or $/980, depending on which market matters more to you. Whichever way you cut it though, the Naira has devalued by about 40 – 60% from the beginning of the year. Again, there are many ways to address this in the short, medium and long terms, but a short term one that I think is easy to set up is leveraging on Nigerians in UK, US Canada and South Africa. It breaks my heart when I go to US and buy a small tuber of Yam for $20 (N18,000), which would cost about N500 in Benue state and maybe N1,000 in Lagos! The prices of other Nigerian delicacies that our people in diaspora crave for is also quite high. How about if the government created a food export program focused on Nigerians in diaspora! It would provide jobs for farmers in Nigeria, foreign exchange for Nigeria and reduce the cost of Nigerian food for those in the diaspora – a win, win!

Therefore, the Nigerian government should do the following:
• Engage with Nigerians in diaspora through the various Nigerian Embassies and High Commissions. Map where Nigerian’s are and target African stores close to them for delivery.
• Liaise with agricultural ministries and agencies of foreign governments to establish food standards.
• Create a logistics infrastructure to move produce from the farms to ports for export in an efficient and effective manner.
• If necessary, designate specific farms as export farms to better monitor and ensure agreed food quality standards are being kept.
• Rather than export in raw form, we can create processing zones to convert raw yam into packaged, frozen yam slices and yam fries.

Hello all ,I don't know if this interesting topic would be engaging enough but I want to look at the beautiful topic raised above with the igbo tribe in view


I believe power is more important - case in point the igbo tribe. The igbo post civil war decided to aggressively focus on money to recover all lost during the war. This was their greatest undoing.

Other tribes focused on power while he Igbos focused on money and today the Igbos are the weakest tribe in Nigeria from a political perspective

The yourba control all the human resourcess., Chambers of commerce accounting and banking verticals

Go to all the top Ministeries and agencies you will find majority Hausa and Yoruba with very few ibos.

From nnpc to DPR to FIRS. Because the Yoruba control recruitment in Nigeria they have people in top positions who can sway the recruitment process to favour their tribe and this is fair

Yoruba led by Tinubu should use the political power they just grabbed for the betterment of all Nigerians or did they grab power for bragging sake and to mock Igbos?

All the tribes that focused on power, what good did it do them? The North that has had the most power, they are worst hit by poverty and terrorism than south. What good did power do them?

All these people that focused on power since the war ended, they are the ones who ran Nigeria into the ground, made it world poverty capital and 8th most terrorised country on earth

Power means a lot, but it is not everything. Thats why the Igbo man never waited for power to come, he always knew that what power can do in a disjointed country like Nigeria is limited

Who power help? Buhari just finished 8 years but half of his home state of Katsina is the hands of bandits. How did power help them?

As an Igbo man, I would rather make money and enjoy what little time I have on earth, than crack my head about power that helped nobody

The refinery is to give him monopoly over the oil and gas industry na.. so he will be sole authority importing and dictating price of PMS, AGO and other petroleum products... Ideally it's nnpc that should have like 4 - 6 working refineries to save the economy, not a private businessman like Dangote.

Pick up the nonsense Petroleum Industry Act they did and see the unpatriotic laws they smuggled into the document for some selected few to be getting richer..

It's like you don't know these Northerners are ready to destroy anything just to continue enriching themselves.. If you know the number of Space Agencies and Research Institutes in Abuja they have destroyed, you'll marvel. There are some agencies in Abuja that you won't see advert for recruitment, they have shared all the slots for 100 percent Northerners and they travel for overseas study like they are travelling to their backyard, wasting Nigeria's resources.

But we thought Akeredolu Igbo wife was ya headache and migraine nah.....or are you tired of ya Igbo this Igbo that usual attention?

Keep blaming the Igbos o, until northerners chop Una everything,clean mouth

He will not need to import anything if he has monopoly over the production...
besides.. it isn't a bad monopoly if other investor including the government chose to run from the business of refining but someone is taking that risk to participate.. it isn't Dangote's fault that he is the only one that has seen opportunity in refining business


government gave license to many others,.. ask they all ran away...

tinubu is diluting government now and filling it more with yorubas.. it is only a matter of time.. they too will allocate jobs to their people,, such act is how Nigerians are it has nothing to do with northerners.. if southerners are there it is likely the same thing..

unless you put someone competent to stop it.

ode.i had a slot.God will not come down to help u.the former president of Major oil marketers association of Nigeria is my dad friend.he was the one that gave me the slot.he is a Yoruba man.i don't need to mention his name.google it.

lolu2019:
back in 2019 when the said nnpc job came out.cos I had a slot,I issued to some of my friends that met the requirements.the one that tried and failed disappointed me on a long run.she even called me a scammer when I lost my job at ExxonMobil due to COVID-19 in 2020.today,I don't have regrets of not given her total connection at nnpc.she deserved what she got.

You had a slot during the nnpc recruitment of 2019?

Why are you guys like this na?

I have a personal experience. I was doing an internship in Nigerian Gas Company (NGC) Warri, a subsidiary of nnpc. So, during my Program there, I applied when the job opening came out. Wrote the exams in Uniben 2012. Then, I was sent a congratulatory mail. I was also sent another one to prepare for the next face which is an interview in nnpc tower Abuja. The first schedule was cancelled in 2013, the second schedule for the interview was in February 14, 2014 which now happens to be the presidential election day that year. It was shifted with apologies to another date. That shifted date never came to pass

When I called my bosses to find out what was going on with the pending interview, they were shocked to see new guys, most from overseas northern guys, families of politicians and the high and mighty's children across all the subsidiaries in our positions. No complainces to Federal Character or whatever. That was how my job processes of over 2yrs was taken over by money bags

There was even a trend created here on NL then for that recruitment exercise

I was a sad one... I couldn't recover for years
