Sheggy13:
The likes of OBJ have been criticized and opposed more by Yorubas to the point of him losing his own ward in the election that brought in Amosun. Can u tell me who can stand the likes of Fela, Gani Fawehinmi, Tunde Bakare and co,in this country when it comes to activism and speaking out against ills no matter who he's involved? Are these people from your village?.. The platform you're using to spew this your gibberish was provided by a "snitch" Yoruba man. For you to use the characters of a few people to make a blanket statement at a tribe shows the inane hatred you have for them. I have good news for you tho. Your hatred has not stopped more Yorubas from forging ahead in their careers and making strides in their fields of endeavors while you stay online and rant. Such a pathetic life to live. Go find something more productive to do with your life.
So on point.... I've ignored them a lot but it seems its getting worse by the day. Seun is not doing enough in banning these tribalists.

PoliticsUse Traditional Means To Tackle Boko Haram, Satguru Maharaji Ji Urges Buhari by Sharksblow(op): 10:31pm On Jul 20, 2015
Ibadan – Satguru Maharaji ji, the founder of One Love Family, has advised President Muhammadu Buhari to use traditional means to tackle the Boko Haram insurgency.

Maharaj ji gave the advice on Sunday in Ibadan at a press conference to mark the 35th anniversary of the One Love Family in Nigeria.

He said that this approach became necessary in order to overcome the incessant killing of innocent people by the terrorist group.

Maharaji ji said traditional leaders have some powerful traditional deities that could help find solution to the Boko Haram insurgency within weeks.

“If the traditional leaders are involved in the process of addressing the issue, the crisis will soon be forgotten.
“The president needs to consult people such as me and other traditional leaders to break the myth surrounding the Boko Haram terrorist movement.

“They do not know the teachings of Islam and need to be dealt with traditionally because they are being used by some people and they use religion as a cover to create trouble,’’ Maharaj ji said.

Maharaj ji lauded Buhari for his initiative on salary cut, adding that more steps needed to be taken in reducing the cost of governance.

He also advised Buhari to set up a Salary Restructure Committee to look into the salaries and allowances of the President, Vice President, members of the National Assembly and ministers with a view to reducing their emoluments.

“The committee would come out with a uniform salary scale and allowances that would not be as much as the present one. “This would be better than an individual cutting his salary and the others not doing so.

“The money generated from this reduction can be used for development projects that would have direct impact on the ordinary masses,’’ he said. He also urged the president to monitor the constituency allowances being given to the National Assembly members by ensuring that the money was being used judiciously.

“In order to eradicate corruption, the politicians should be made to swear with the god of iron instead of using Quran and Bible during their inauguration.

“This will bring sanity into the system and prevent political office holders from stealing public funds because thunder will strike the thieves among them to death instantly,’’ he said.

The One Love Family leader warned against same sex marriage, saying it should not be allowed in Africa as it remains a taboo on the continent.

Christianity EtcRedeemed Church Curses B’haram, Says Insurgency’ll End 2015 by Sharksblow(op): 6:59am On Jul 16, 2015
The Redeemed Christian Church of God has cursed Boko Haram, saying the group will be defeated before the end of the year.

The church’s Head of Media and Public Relations, Pastor Segun Adegbiji, said the church was concerned about the safety of its members and was increasing security measures around its parishes.

Adegbiji spoke on Wednesday at Redemption Camp in Ogun State, during a briefing on the church’s 63rd annual convention. The convention, which is themed, ‘The All Sufficient God’, will hold from August 3 to 9,
2015.

While fielding questions from journalists on the recent killings of six members of the church by a suicide bomber in Potiskum, Yobe State, Adegbijinsaid the insurgents had gone beyond theirnboundary.

He said, “We are passionate about the safety of our members and indeed the safety of citizens of this country. We prayed against Ebola, that it should get out of this country and whether you believe it or not, God answered our prayers and it left. Boko Haram is a monster and it will be defeated this year.

"We are working on the security of our churches. If those people should attempt to do that next time, they will be in serious trouble.” A member of the church’s traffic committee, Pastor Deji West, said the church’s new auditorium in Shimawa, Ogun State, was the biggest in the world.

He said the 3 kilometres by 3 km arena would take no fewer than 12 million congregants at a time. He said, “The current structure we have is the biggest auditorium in the world because it will take about 12 million people at a time. In terms of naira and kobo of what it costs, I don’t have the figure right now.”

Responding to the issue of the perennial problem of traffic on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway whenever the church had programmes, the head of the church’s international office, Mrs. Margret Boluwakole, said the church was not to blame. She said, “Whenever there is traffic on the road, people always blame us. We wish to state that it is the poor state of the road that is causing
traffic jam. We don’t hold congress on the road.

“Almost every Friday, there is traffic on that road. There are several portholes on Ojodu Berger and Ibafo ends of the road.

"In fact, we sometimes repair the road at the expense of the church and we don’t collect money from anybody. People should stop blaming the church.”

PoliticsFani-kayode Denies Saying Nigeria Deserves B/haram For Rejecting Jonathan by Sharksblow(op): 3:33pm On Jul 08, 2015
The former Director of Media and Publicity of the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation (PDPPCO), Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has denied the allegation by an online medium that he said Nigeria deserve Boko Haram for voting Jonathan out of office.

In a statement Wednesday in Abuja, the former aviation minister described the report as an attempt to blackmail him.

The online medium had wrote that Fani-Kayode said "Nigerians deserve Boko Haram for rejecting Jonathan" but the former campaign spokesman said that was never part of his write-up on Facebook, saying he had been misrepresented.

''For Premium Times to allege that I wrote that 'Nigerians deserve Boko Haram for rejecting Jonathan' in my last facebook post is absurd. I challenge all those who doubt me to read the full text of my last facebook posting and tell me where I wrote that "Nigerians deserve Boko Haram.

"I never wrote that and neither would I ever do so, yet those words were used as the headline for their story in Premium Times and they claimed that they were my words. This is most unfair and it is simply an attempt to mislead the Nigerian public and incite them against me. By Gods grace, it will not work.

"Nigerians do not deserve Boko Haram, they do not deserve to be bombed andthey do not deserve to be killed and I never said that they did.

What they deserve is a President that is ready to fight terror with everything that he has got. I urge Premium Times and anyone else that got it wrong to set the record straight and I appeal to my Facebook friends and others to spread the word and let the truth be known," he said.

Dear Bunmi,

After only five years of marriage, my husband seems not to be interested in sex— at least with me! We didn’t have sex before we married for religious reasons, but since we’ve been together, he’s avoided getting intimate.

I always have to make the first move or dress up to tempt him. The few times we do have sex, it is over so quickly in about a minute and I end up unsatisfied. Please help!

PoliticsInside Secret Report Of Nnpc!!! Nigeria Needs Action by Sharksblow(op): 4:06pm On Jul 05, 2015
. NNPC failed to remit N936bn crude oil sales money in 2012

. NNPC over-deducted subsidy to the tune of N260bn in 2012

. Foreign crude oil customers owed Nigeria $75m

. $50m illegally moved from NNPC’s JP Morgan account

. There were more damning revelations in 2013 Annual Report – Auditor General

Revelations on extensive corruption in Nigeria’s oil sector, especially during the immediate past PDP-led administration, are gradually unravelling. In this special report, Daily Trust Sunday, in exclusive possession of an audited report on the sector, unfurls high-level fraud in many transactions of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

In activities in the Nigerian oil sector, and especially those of the official regulator, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), secrecy, it appears, is the operational word. This may be understandable, as a document from the Office of the Auditor-General for the Federation (AGF) on the NNPC, which the Daily Trust on Sunday exclusively possesses, will explain. The document, the ‘Annual Report of the Auditor-General for the Federation on the Accounts of the Federation of Nigeria for the year ended 31st December 2012’ was said to have been prepared and submitted to the Senate Committee on Public Accounts but had since been kept under wraps.

The report, from the first page to the last, it would seem, is corruption-inked. It is a compilation of, among other defaults, under-remittances, non-declaration of incomes, non-payment of joint venture cash call arrears, excessive domestic crude oil lifting, over-deduction of subsidy approvals, abuse of fuel importation processes and, generally, inadequate accounting records. As the report paints, to the NNPC management, complying with laid-down rules appears to be aberrational.

The report revealed that the NNPC, in 2012, failed to remit a whopping sum of N936 billion accruing from the sales of domestic crude oil. The auditors observed, after an examination of the NNPC mandates to the CBN on domestic crude oil sales, that the oil regulator failed to remit a total sum of N936,027,634,479.81 to the Federation Account within the period under review.

Curiously this was coming at the time the NNPC had just commenced the refund of a N450bn sum, being a previous under-remittance, to the Federation Account.

The report, signed by the AGF, asked the then Group Managing Director (GMD) of the NNPC, through the Accountant-General of the Federation, to explain “the flagrant attitude of withholding domestic crude oil sales revenue” and ordered the NNPC to refund the withheld amount (N936.027bn) urgently. The recovery particulars, the AGF directed, should be forwarded to his office for verification.

Also revealed in the report was that though the NNPC earned a total sum of $998.881.77 as interest on its Joint Venture Cash Call Account (JVCCA) in 2012, it didn’t make any budgetary provision for the amount as income receivable into its JVCCA. The erstwhile GMD was promptly requested to refund this interest as petroleum-related revenue to the Federation Account and forward payment evidence to the AGF’s office for audit confirmation.

Similarly, the NNPC failed to remit the sums of $1.6 million and N171 million, being arrears of the Joint Venture Cash Calls (JVCC) in the period under review. The JVCC is said to be money paid by the joint venture (JV) partners such as Mobil, Shell and Total, according to the equity holdings of the partners for oil or gas project development. The amount is usually determined and paid at the beginning of the year.

Daily Trust Sunday gathered that the NNPC, on behalf of the federal government, owns between 55 per cent for JVC with Shell and 60 per cent for others, while the JV partners (NNPC and oil companies) contribute according to the above percentages to fund the development and exploration of oil fields.

Under sub 3.41 of the report entitled, ‘Arrears of Joint Venture Cash Call $1,664,986.15 and N171,303,701, the report stated that the inability of the NNPC/NAPIMS (National Petroleum Investment Management Services) to meet up with the cash call appeared to impede on the general performance of the joint venture operators, vis-à-vis revenue accruable to the Federation Account, an observation that was said to have been made in previous reports.

NAPIMS is a subsidiary company of the NNPC set up to earn margins arising from investment in the JVCs, PSC (Petroleum Sharing Contracts) and other partnerships entered by the NNPC.

According to the report, the statutory auditors of the joint venture operators only submitted the audited accounts of the operators to NNPC/NAPIMS without the accompanied Management Reports (Letter of weakness). Management Reports on audited financial statements are vital supporting documents detailing weaknesses observed by the auditor in the internal control system of the audited entity. Considering the magnitude of the interest of NNPC/NAPIMS in the operation of the joint venture operators and the nature of the business, the AGF considered it imperative for the NNPC/NAPIMS to have access to the management reports (Letter of weakness) of the operators in order to determine the level of weakness in the internal control system of the operators and make necessary recommendations for improvements.

The report accused the NNPC of making little or no effort to recover total debts of $75m some foreign crude oil customers numbering more than 50 have been owing Nigeria for an upward period of between 5-13 years. Among such customers, according to the report, is the controversial oil trading company Vitol S.A. (Gas), which ranks among the seven companies whose debt profile accounted for about 91 per cent of the $75m debt profile. Other big debtors to the NNPC in this category are Nipco, NLNG, Tema, Vitol SA (Gas), Arcadia, Kyokuto and Coast Oil.

“Delayed collation of debt is a drain on revenue accruable to the Federation Account. It should be noted that since foreign sales of crude oil is subject to only a thirty (30) days credit facility, it would appear that enough efforts were not made for the recovery of these debts”, the report said.

A sum of $50m was also alleged to have been illegally moved from the NNPC/JP Morgan account: The NNPC operates a JP Morgan Chase (a US-based bank) account where proceeds from the sales of Nigerian crude are deposited, usually on monthly basis. Daily Trust Sunday learnt that the NNPC normally instructs the CBN to move the funds from the dollar domiciliary account into the Federation Account with the CBN. However, in the report, under sub 3.47 titled, ‘Unauthorized Movement of Fund - $50,000,000.00’, it was revealed that the said amount was illegally moved from the NNPC JV Cash Call Account with JP Morgan Chase to another unidentified foreign account without mandate or authority.

Also contained in the report is that the NNPC deducted at source from the proceeds of crude oil and gas sales in 2012 the sum of N260b instead of N229.74b approved by the PPPRA. The NNPC GMD was promptly asked to refund the subsidy over-deduction, pay it into the Federation Account and forward the recovery particulars to the AGF’s office. Funds for subsidy payments are usually drawn from the Petroleum Support Fund (PSF).

The report also uncovered an irregularity in which subsidy claims were not subjected to the usual practice of pre-payment audit by auditors appointed by the Federal Ministry of Finance before or after subsidy had been claimed by the NNPC. As the AGF declared, this practice would appear to be irregular since the NNPC claimed almost 50 per cent of subsidy paid in 2012. He fumed in the report that this particular anomaly had been “a subject of his report since 2010 without the NNPC GMD and the Executive Secretary of the PPPRA had been informed through the Accountant General of the Federation to provide explanation why subsidies claimed by the NNPC were not subjected to pre-payment audit.
Report indicts DPR.

The Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) also came under scrutiny in the Auditor-General’s report. The document accused the DPR of failing to remit N109.7b unpaid royalty from 21 oil companies in 2012, thereby denying the Federation Account of the amount. Oil and gas companies usually pay certain percentages of their production as royalty to government on the land, and on property used to produce crude oil and gas.

The DPR also allegedly failed to account for N2.1b gas flare penalty owed by 33 oil companies. The DPR is saddled with the responsibility of enforcing compliance with oil laws.

More revelations in 2013 Annual Report
The Auditor-General for the Federation Mr. Samuel Ukura confirmed to Daily Trust on Sunday via telephone that his office prepared the said report and, thereafter, sent it to the National Assembly for necessary action. He informed that the NNPC and other agencies queried in the report had not responded to the queries.

Mr. Ukura added that the Annual Report for 2013 had also been prepared by his office and sent to the National Assembly, stressing that more of such damning revelations were contained therein.

Contacted, the spokesman of the NNPC, Mr. Ohi Alegbe said he could not comment on the damning report because he was not aware of its contents.
