Business › Re: PART 1: NIGERIAN OIL INDUSTRY AND FUEL SUBSIDY: FACTS, MYTHS & HIDDEN TRUTH by stepo707: 2:57pm On Nov 22, 2011
jonced:
I like the fact that the OP took the time to post this information on a very topical issue in the country today.

@OP, your effort is much appreciated.

I am not sure however, if all that was written is accurate, some contributors have disputed some of the information BUT that is neither here nor there.

The fact as i see it is that some greedy nigerians are making tons of money from the loopholes in the Oil Industry not necessarily because of wrong government policies but because of corrupt  govt. officers who are always ready to explore avenues to garner wealth fraudulently.

This situation i believe is what informed the presidents decision to remove the fuel subsidy. His assumption is that by removing the subsidy, a lot of the funds going into corrupt pockets would be halted and the proceeds from our national resource  would be channeled into the appropriate quarters ie governmant coffers for the good of all and not just a few. A good plan it is, but quite laughable in our context.

Nigerians are still waiting for an explanation for the disappearance of over $25 million  excess crude revenue that walked into individuals pockets when the treasury was looted during the unfortunate incapacitation of the late Yar'adua in 2008/2009. What happened to the billions spent by government
on power? Nigerians NEVER see any positive impact of government disbursements on their life, its terrible.

No power, health sector virtually non existent, infant and maternal mortality rate is one of the highest in the world, hospitals lack facilities. education is abysmal, our public school students are practically illiterates, our roads are death traps in the dry season and lakes during the rainy season, currency devaluation is a constant phenomenon, No jobs (how can there b jobs when interest rates and cost of runnning a business are prohibitive)

My point is that any money that accrues into the government coffers as a result of subsidy removal will only end up being stolen anyway upon disbursement and regular Nigerians will just end up losing both ways, the result will be an unimagineable economic burden and suffering.

This administration should show a much greater determination to deal decisively with corruption and ensure that the people can benefit from our national resouce, oil. Unfortunately, i see a lack of resolve in this regard and too many sacred cows, methinks there are many skeletons in the presidents cupboard that is hindering him, some of which are electoral skeletons.

The country's state of security is very sad, this situation came about mainly as a result of citizens hardship and now the government want to add more, well, let's see.

The president said the economy will collapse, simple economics tells me that if a government has a resource in high demand (oil) that can be exported and internal spending is controlled, there should be excess left, just as a company that has a viable product should make a profit after deducting cost of sales and expenses.

Goverment should as a matter of urgency begin to find solutions to refining crude oil in the country, by partnering with countries more developed in this sector. i also advocate for private companies to participate but a strong regulator should be in place, just as the CBN regulates banks. This way a more lasting solution will be found and our children would not have to go through the perrenial oscillation that has been our lot.

For now, it will be unwise and insensitive to the security situation in the country now to remove the subsidy.
Any assurances by the government that funds realised from subsidy removal will make life easier for Nigerians is totally unacceptable because this has never been the case. The same corrupt individuals would just find another means to siphon the money into their pockets,

GEJ, I would advise u for now to leave the subsidy in place, tackle the loopholes and corruption in the system, fix the refinery inadequacies , cut government expenditure, both capital and recurrent, aggressively explore other means of income besides crude and tackle the security problem. These are pressing initiatives for now.

GEJ, be bold and make a difference so that our CHILDREN would have something to be happy about.

God bless Nigeria
God bless you jare.Lets see what happens.I really hope GEJ knows what he is doing

The man who is raising his family under the bridge at Cele bus stop, Lagos, Monday Obuh has rejected an offer from a P.M.NEWS reader in the United Kingdom who offered him a free accommodation.
Monday Obuh, his two-year old boy and pregnant wife who are still living under the bridge along Oshodi-Apapa expressway also rejected the offer of a room by the U.K-based kind-hearted Nigerian who sent money to his nephew in Lagos and asked him to do everything possible to get Obuh and his family an accommodation,
Instead, Obuh said he preferred to be given money by the anonymous donour. He is asking for N100,000 cash instead of the room.
When the good Nigerian read the couple’s story on line in P.M.NEWS last Friday, he immediately offered Monday Obuh and his family a self-contained apartment.  But after inspecting the house, Obuh rejected it on the ground that a detached house (flat) will not afford him the opportunity to mix freely with the people.
The U.K. based Nigerian then offered Obuh and his family a room at 13, Church Street, Off Gbajobi Bus Stop, Itele Road, Ota, Ogun State. Obuh again rejected the offer.
He demanded for N100,000 cash instead.
Obuh also demanded for a business he could do to sustain his family. To this request, a lady banker based in Lagos who also craved anonymity, was moved by the family’s plight and offered to assist him.  The young lady bought buckets, stove and other things for Obuh.
Obuh and the lady later visited a kiosk around Itele Road, Ota where he could be selling the building materials. Obuh again rejected the offer to stay at Ota and demanded for cash.
Speaking with P.M.NEWS this morning, the U.K. based Nigeria expressed shock that Obuh could reject a genuine offer to assist his family.
“As soon as I read his story in P.M.NEWS on Friday, I became restless. I then got in touch with my nephew in Lagos to liaise with P.M.NEWS.
“I arranged to pay for a room to settle his family because of the child and the pregnant wife. I had wanted to buy a mattress, stove and other materials to ensure that the family can live a normal life again. Thereafter, I intend to empower him by giving him money to start a business. He told my nephew he wanted to sell building materials, I intend to assist him on that after he might have settled down.
With Obuh’s insistence that he should be given money and his preference to continue living under the bridge, the kind Nigerian said he was helpless.
Also speaking on phone today, the lady banker who had offered to assist Obuh regretted that Obuh mistook her gesture an opportunity to collect money from people, using him.
She said: “Yesterday, I used my ATM to withdraw money. I gave him N9,000 for mattress and another N4,000 for out of pocket expenses. But he thought I was giving him part of the money donated by people to him.
“He demanded for N100,000 saying that if I failed to give him, he was ready to back out of the  arrangement.  He said his helpers should come to his abode under the Cele bridge.”
The banker expressed disgust about Obuh’s attack on her integrity saying, “he has a criminal mind. He has an ulterior motive. He insisted the money I gave him was not enough, insisting on N100,000.”

if you are s1lly fat and unattractive with tonns of folds and refuse to work out, no need to blame your husband, it is a natural phenomenon loads of hotties out there.

if you fall into the cadre of not noticing the presence of your husband except the kids and yourself; reap your own evil

if you shout like you work part time in a recording studio without showing respect to your husband and kids; who wont avoid you?

if you spend your evenings attending one Mid week service to Friday functions when dinner should be served;well, he never bargained for FAO relief job

if you think that by sleeping in the church and memorizing verses from the bible will erode the fact that you fu.cked married men during your hay days ("old things have passed away" indeed); just reap your evil in a thousand fold not even prayer can save you.

if you trapped your husband with pregnancy before marriage; well, he has gone back to his wife.

if you trapped him with juju; sorry he has found christ.

if none of the above applies and he still misbehaves, then hire a psychiatrist and prepare him for deliverance immediately

hope i am honest enough.

i have a colleague that refers to his wife as "that one" you can imagine the marital hell fire  grin grin grin
Remarkable answer! There just have to be something the woman is not doing well.Your man just cant change overnight

Nigeria defender Bobsam Elejiko collapsed and died while playing for Belgian side Merksem SC on Sunday.

The 30-year-old was playing in the fifth-tier game against FC Kaart when he collapsed.

Attempts to resuscitate the defender were unsuccessful and the cause of death was not immediately clear.
"With deep sadness we announce the sudden death of Bobsam Elejiko," Merksem said in a statement. The match was abandoned after Elejiko's death.

"He collapsed and died suddenly in the pitch and our thoughts are with his family and friends."

Elejiko had previously played for Westerlo and Antwerp among other teams.
