am not saying anybody is a false prophet, bet lets all bear this in mind, the scriptures say, TEST all spirits.

Apostate Christianity

We are told in Revelation 3 of the 7 Churches. The last church or church age is symbolized by the Church of Laodicea. Laodicea means "the rights of the people." Thus, this was a church governed by the will of the people, rather than the will of God. This is the church age from which the Antichrist and the False Prophet will emerge. It is the church age Paul talked about that would not endure sound doctrine, but would gather around them teachers that would say what their itching ears wanted and desired to hear (2 Tim 4:3). This church is described as lukewarm, indifferent, not concerned with right and wrong, or with good and evil. They take a neutral position: one of "live and let live; don’t rock the boat; and don’t cause waves." They are trying to serve two masters—God and self (or the world).

We will continue to monitor the church's faithfulness to the teaching of the Word of God, realizing that the church of the last days will be marked by apostasy and a falling away. This does not mean that God is not moving and doing great things - but can we also identify the wolves in sheep's clothing? "For false Christ's and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the very elect". (Mark 13:22).

E.O. 12958: DECL: 04/07/2014
TAGS: EPET EINV EFIN PGOV NI
SUBJECT: SCANDAL BREWING OVER NIGERIAN FUEL IMPORTS


Classified By: J. GREGOIRE FOR REASONS 1.5 (B), (D), AND (E).

¶1. (C) SUMMARY. A scandal is brewing in Nigeria over prices
paid by the government for imported fuel. International fuel
traders have been falsifying the dates of bills of lading to
reflect particularly high market prices, overcharging the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) by $300
million or more. END SUMMARY.

¶2. (C N/F) On April 2, Chris Finlayson, Chairman and Managing
Director of Shell Petroleum Development Corporation of
Nigeria (SPDC), told Consul General and Econoff that a
scandal is brewing within the NNPC over payments made to
international fuel marketers.  Finlayson said some marketers
have been changing the dates when fuel shipments bound for
Nigeria were loaded in order to take advantage of
particularly high market prices.  He said the total
overpayment by NNPC may be as high as $330 million.
Finlayson noted that Shell is not one of the marketers in
question, but is becoming a leading fuel supplier for NNPC.

¶3. (C N/F) On April 6, Femi Otedola, President and CEO of
Zenon Petroleum and Gas, the largest supplier of diesel fuel
in Nigeria, essentially corroborated Finlayson's report.
Otedola said over $300 million has been overpaid by NNPC for
fuel imports, and that many leading international traders are
involved.  According to Otedola, NNPC contracts to pay its
suppliers the market price on the day a ship is loaded with
fuel.  He said NNPC recently discovered, however, that bills
of lading were altered to reflect loading on days of high
market prices.  Discrepancies were found when comparing dates
on the bills of lading with dates of landing in Lagos.

¶4. (C N/F) Pointing to examples, Otedola said that while a
tanker loading fuel at a refinery in Bahrain usually takes
four weeks to arrive in Lagos, comparisons between the bills
of lading and dates of arrival of some shipments reflected
only a four-day difference, and in other cases, if taken at
face value, indicated the journey took nine months.  Otedola
said 73 shipments from refineries in the Persian Gulf,
England, and Venezuela listed delivery times of only one day.
NNPC is attempting to get compensation for the over-charge.
Otedola went on that most of the fuel traders supplying
Nigeria are implicated in over-charging NNPC, and showed a
list of 17 companies that supplied fuel in the first quarter
of 2004, several of which, he said, are significant players
in international markets, such as Trafigura and Vitol.
Otedola added that three companies clearly not involved in
the scandal are British Petroleum, ChevronTexaco and Shell.

¶5. (C N/F) Otedola recommended that NNPC stop contracting
with international fuel traders and negotiate purchases
directly from refineries worldwide.  According to him, such a
move would have two positive effects.  Otedola calculates
that NNPC would save some four billion dollars a year in
expenditures on imported fuel.  (Note: Prior to deregulation
in October 2003, NNPC, then the sole importer of fuel, lost
two billion dollars per year because it sold stock to
retailers below purchase price. After October 2003, NNPC
initially stopped subsidizing fuel sales, letting marketers
import fuel to be sold at market prices.  However, sources
agree that NNPC is back in the business of subsidizing
gasoline sales while it maintains a facade of deregulation by
encouraging private marketers to import fuel that NNPC
purchases at market price.  NNPC then sells the fuel to
marketers and retailers at a reduced price to ensure that
those companies maintain a profit margin while holding
consumer prices to informal caps set by the Department of
Petroleum Resources. End Note.)

¶6. (C N/F) Otedola added that by cutting out the
international traders, NNPC would also enhance the
environment in which Nigeria's refineries could be restored
and operated.  Otedola said he believes international fuel
trade "mafias" are behind the failure to bring Nigeria's
refineries back on-line and to capacity.  Otedola is
convinced these traders arrange for the vandalization of
crude oil feeder pipelines, which keep the refineries at Port
Harcourt, Warri and Kaduna closed or under-capacity.  He said
the international traders generally receive at least one
million dollars per shipload of fuel to Nigeria and have
grown accustomed to the easy money Nigeria offers as long its
refineries remain down.

¶7. (C N/F) As an example, Otedola described an arrangement
the National Electric Power Authority (NEPA) had with Sahara
Energy for the provision of diesel to an emergency power
generation plant in Abuja.  He said that while a pipeline was
under construction to deliver fuel to the main power plant,
NEPA paid some five billion dollars to Sahara over four years
for diesel to the back-up plant.  It was later discovered
that NEPA had received only about one billion dollars worth
of fuel, according to Otedola.  Otedola said that he, too,
was contracted to deliver diesel fuel to the plant on
occasion; however, he petitioned the president to investigate
the matter after becoming suspicious of NEPA's ongoing
contract with Sahara and the fact that the pipeline for the
power plant was never finished.  He said his intervention led
to an investigation that ultimately resulted in the
cancellation of NEPA's contract with Sahara.

¶8. (C N/F) COMMENT:  The allegation that international
traders bilked NNPC of hundreds of millions of dollars is yet
another example of the poor management of Nigeria's energy
sector, and highlights the complex links between crude sales,
fuel importation, refinery maintenance, and energy production
here.  Otedola is probably right in suggesting that
long-standing sweetheart deals between the NNPC and a variety
of fuel traders is keeping the system inefficient.  That may
also explain why the GON just can't seem to get its
refineries running even after spending a billion dollars or
more on maintenance contracts over the last four years.
Otedola said he initially bid to purchase the Port Harcourt
refinery offered for privatization, but he recently told
President Obasanjo he will not invest in the refinery so long
as NNPC purchases fuel from traders instead of negotiating
directly with refineries in other countries and leasing ships
itself to deliver fuel to Nigeria.  It is not clear if
Otedola's assumption that the international traders' stake in
Nigeria's current fuel market is the main driver behind the
country's refinery woes.  But it is clear that the
fundamentals of infrastructure security, interim supply
stability, and transactional transparency must still be
addressed if the GON is to be taken seriously about its
efforts to deregulate and largely privatize Nigeria's
downstream petroleum sector.  END COMMENT.

, i wasnt asked any question about nnpc, a few questions based on my work experience in my cv, but tons of questions about the job position i applied for , none on my powerpoint presentation.i spent about 30mins with them, at a stage 2 of the panelists were asking me questions at the same time!.

lol, like many people, i also believe i performed well,
na GOD hand e dey now

be wary of illetrate n inexperienced mechanics, the first mechanic i went to wanted to use engine oil to replace the transmission fluid. he specically said he wants to use AP VISCO 2000, that it has a light viscosity similar to transmission fluid!!!.
i over ruled him and went n bought the transmission fluid myself and he grudgeingly used it.
u n i can only guess what he wud hv done if i wasnt around, he wud hv used the engine oil in all clear conscience,

no be person tell me to quit going to that particular mechanic

am based in ph, csan introduce you to my mechanic if u r in ph

it seems like ur transmission fluid was overfilled, cos as it heats up, it expands, and the pump cant handle the increased volume.
try checking the volume by using the dip stick, if its too much, drain the excess, what does ur manual say about the volume of transmission fluid required?, most mechanics dont know, the just assume and fill it up based on what they think is ok!!.

a vulcaniser filled my car tire to 45psi!!, n he felt that all 'jeeps' need 45psi tire pressure, but my manual says 30-35psi.

wow, the story had a happy ending o.

my mechanic was of the opinion that the tranny fluid shud be changed and filter replaced/washed.n if that fails, then i need to buy a new/to0ks gearbox.

but i doudbet him, cos i just changed the transmission fluid about 8months ago.

well to cut the story short, he did just that, and my car is back to life now.

am posting this so that peeps can learn.
1 love!
