Tunde Idiagbon was the only soldier Ibrahim Babangida ever feared because Idiagbon put him in detention countless times.
Idiagbon was to be made EFCC chairman by Obasanjo but he was poisoned by corrupt politicians and never accomplished his mission

He wouldnt have accepted the offer. The office of Chairman of EFCC is occupied by a Deputy Commissioner of Police. Which hunger go make a former Vice president equivalent and retired Major General come dey do Chairman of EFCC? By the way, did he not die before OBJ won the 1999 election? Just my thoughts o. I could also be wrong.

Nigerian disc jockey, Cuppy has revealed that all his well and won't be bothered by Victor's move to introduce his new girlfriend to his family so quick.

Victor and Cuppy broke up late last year but the footballer has started moving things quite fast with his new girlfriend, Maggie whom he has brought home to meet with members of his family, leading to rumors about their engagement.

Cuppy in response took to her page to share a cryptic post to insinuate that she isn't the least depressed about Anichebe's move.

The popular daughter of oil billionaire, Femi Otedola has revealed on social media how desperate she has gotten, just to walk down the aisle before the end of 2019 stating recently that she can't wait to have Sunny Ade perform at her wedding.

She shared a photo of her bare ring finger calling for anybody willing to give her green light. See her cryptic post below...

We are actually hypnotized. Most of the things we didnt take from Jonathan, when Buhari does them, we clap for him. If they increase the pms price to N200 now, I am sure we will say thank God and move on with our lives because those who normally lead us to say NO are on the side of the government. APC as opposition led Nigerians not to take nonsence from the Jonathan government but the PDP is too quite in opposition. Everybody is afraid of being harassed by EFCC. Must EFCC be used as a tool to harass people by the government in power?

Teacher1776:
It is increasing becoming clearer that Jonathan was a more humane manager of resources than this cattle rearer from Daura. Even at 100 dollar per litre, Jonathan was able to sustain a subsidy regime which ensures that fuel was sold at 97 naira per litre, from 75 naira it formerly sold. This cut down in subsidy generated a fund called sureP.
Here is Buhari, at 45 dollar to a barrel, fuel was sold at 145 naira from the former 87 naira. There is no report of a fund saved due to subsidy removal. Instead, government is taking a billion dollars from the excess crude account in the guise of fighting terrorism.
Two things are involved here. It is either Buhari and his cohorts are massively stealing from us or he is as dumb as a dullard, having no iota of idea as to where the money is migrating to.

Some of you girls actually have fish brain. You dont learn from other people's mistakes. Several times we have read of how people meat on twitter, facebook etc. When the girl eventually visits the girl in the hotel room she ends up eithe being killed or poisoned yet they still keep on taking risks. Assuming as she refused having sex with him the man forces her or does something harmful to her?

Drinokrane:
A Nigerian Lady has called out handler of popular twitter account ‘sub delivery man’ for allegedly treating her badly after she turned down his sex advances when she visited him.

According to her, they had been friends on Twitter for a while but decided to meet one on one for the first time at a hotel room where they both ate and drank, and after she turned down his sexual advances, he not only refused to give her transport fare back home but also asked to collect the 3,000 naira he had sent to her prior to their meeting.

I dont want the price of crude oil to increase in the international market because it is enriching our government but it is bringing suffering to the masses. I pray against the glory days of Jonathan when crude sold above $100 per barrel. If that happens now we must be prepared to buy pms for as much as N500 per litre.

The Federal Government may increase the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), popularly called petrol to a minimum price of N180 and above anytime soon.

Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu who dropped the hint in Abuja on Thursday, said the current price of N145 per litre can no longer be sustained.

In a presentation he made to a joint committee on Petroleum (Downstream) of the Senate and the House of Representatives, the Minister said the landing cost for petrol stood at N171 per litre.

According to him, the Federal Government, through the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has been bearing the cost of N26 per litre, representing the difference between N171 and the current official price of N145 per litre.

Insisting that independent marketers would not be able to import the product at the current foreign exchange rate, saying the marketers were able to sell for N145 per litre when the exchange rate was N285 per Dollar. The Naira presently exchanges for N365 per Dollar.

“We now have to go back and find the solution to this problem in order to ease supply gaps and ensure availability of the product at all times,” the Minister said.

Kachikwu, however, proffered three alternative solutions to pump price increase: getting the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to introduce a modulated foreign exchange rate specifically for importers of the product; giving the marketers significant tax adjustments to enable them to absorb the high cost; and a plural pricing system whereby the NNPC would continue to sell at N145 through its numerous outlets while the marketers are allowed to fix their own price.

The Minister identified causes of the last fuel scarcity to include diversion of products, logistic constraints, bottleneck associated with clearance, bad road network, insufficient product reserves, smuggling through land borders, supply gaps and enforcement challenges.

He stated that the marketers stopped importing fuel since October 2017, as a result of their inability to access foreign exchange from the CBN, leaving only the NNPC to import the product, which has left a wide gap between demand and supply.

Dr. Kachikwu lamented that the price of petrol rises with the rise in the price of crude oil in the international, stressing that in such instances, Nigeria spends more to import refined products. In effect, any rise in crude oil price increases the amount the country spends on the importation of fuel.

To address the situation, the Minister canvassed the opening up of production lines, specifically the refineries, which he said, would address supply gaps that usually leads to incessant scarcity.

“Rising prices in international market affecting domestic prices. What the country needs is to have the refineries working. It’s a shame that after 40 years, Nigeria cannot produce its domestic consumption.

“It would take 18 months to address problems of scarcity, price stability and other issues relating to the supply of petroleum products. The pipelines should be concessioned to allow private participation.

“There is huge infrastructure deficit in the system because the NNPC ought to be distributing products through their pipes but most of the pipes are damaged. The has necessitated the use of trucks to distribute the product across the country.

“Most importantly, fixing the refineries should be the lasting solution. To discuss and address the issues, we have to seek approval from the President,” the Minister said.

In his own submission at the hearing, the Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Dr. Maikanti Baru said the last scarcity was caused by rumours of price increase in the media that led marketers into hoarding the product in anticipation of higher prices.

Said he: “So there was a frenzy in the movement of products to the hinterland and diversion of products going to the hinterland in anticipation of the increase in price.

“The NNPC, or the Petroleum Products Pricing and Regulatory Authority (PPPRA) had no mandate to increase pump price.”

The GMD said that the strike action embarked upon by PENGASAN in December was partly responsible for the scarcity, saying issues raised by the association for going on strike had nothing to do with the NNPC.

According to him, the strike triggered panic buying by members of the public leading to scarcity of the product. He added that although PENGASAN called off the strike on December 18, the damage had already been done.

Baru identified other factors responsible for the last scarcity to be the higher price at which petrol is sold in neighbouring African countries, citing Cameroun where he said petrol sells for N300-N400 per litre.

Stating that the NNPC has enough product to bridge supply gaps, Baru insisted the corporation has sufficient stock to go round even without importation.

The GMD alleged that about 4500 distribution trucks failed to return to depots to complete their distribution formalities during the scarcity period, meaning that the trucks were diverted.

“There was no supply gap because we have Direct Sale Direct Purchase (DSDP) agreement with 10 consortia involved. Three of them rejected their cargoes, which were reallocated to others.”

The GMD also hinted that the refineries in Kaduna and Port Harcourt were being reactivated and restreamed and that they have been producing three million litres daily.

Baru also cited disagreements among the various private operators in the sector as part of the problems that threw up the scarcity, adding that the marketers were busy trading allegations of sharp practices.

He said: “For instance, IPMAN said MOMAN and DAPPMA were charging over N133.28/litre but when we asked them to provide evidence of overcharging, they could not provide any. If proven, NNPC would have withdrawn the licenses of the errant bodies.”

The Executive Secretary of the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), Mordecai Baba Ladan told the committee that at the outset of scarcity, the DPR rolled out its machinery across the country, with the directive from the Minister that defaulters be dealt with.

“Almost every marketer/filling station across the country are defaulters. And if all defaulting filing stations were to be shut down, there may not be anyone left.

“They horde, sell above official price and also divert products. But we have stepped up our monitoring process now that the NNPC is the sole importer but the corporation cannot do it alone.

Virtually all the independent marketers that attended the hearing alleged multiple charges by the Nigerian Port Authority (NPA), NIMASA and some state governments charging 3 kobo per litre wharf landing fee.

The Executive Secretary of MOMAN, Mr. Obafemi Olawore said the N800 billion owed marketers by the Federal Government has made it difficult for them to obtain credit from the banks to import the product.

He appealed to the government to give key players major roles in the importation business, saying that shutting down errant filling stations won’t solve the scarcity problem but rather aggravate it.

Olawore called for total deregulation of the sector to allow more participants from the private sector.

Curiously, however, the chairman of the joint committee, Senator Kabiru Marafa who had vowed to grill the Minister and the GMD over secret subsidy payment by the government.

Briefing newsmen at the National Assembly on Friday, Marafa had raised questions on who pays the difference of the N26 in the landing cost of N171 against the pump price of N145.

The lawmaker said there were indications that a subsidy of N26 was being paid on every litre of petrol sold in the country and wondered who has been paying the subsidy.

Marafa had said, “If there is subsidy payment, then who approved it and how much has been paid out as the subsidy so far. If you want to provide the subsidy, it should come through the National Assembly but we have not received any request for subsidy payment from the Executive arm.”

Stating that about N10 trillion has been paid out as the subsidy, Marafa had lamented that stakeholders in the Petroleum industry, particularly the NNPC, have not been transparent in the running of the sector.

He said these were some of the issues the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, Baru and others would be made to explain to Nigerians at the January 4 hearing.

“We are going back to the same circle where only a few persons benefit from subsidy payment at the expense of the Nigerian people,” Senator Marafa had said.

Other members of the joint committee are Senators Tayo Alasoadura, Mao Ohuanbunwa, Sabi Abdullahi, Foster Ogola, Yahaya Abdullahi, Rose Oko, Philip Aduda among others.

This is what happens when the aged people use all their strength to lay with women at night. When they resume work the following morning they are expended and all they do is sleep. Though they may remember that the camera is focused on them, they are helpless because all strength is gone.

You are right. I discover that when you fast and so do not take food or water, the longer the fast, the more coloured your urine is.

Stegomiah:
It could be normal.... As in you are dehydrated... Solution is to drink plenty water
The more water you drink the more clearer your urine color.... And the less water you drink the darker your urine is
Note urine is normally pale yellow in color not white...
It's just clear...
It can be diet
It can be a sign of an infection
It could be side effects of a drug
Could be a disease condition

But in case you drink enough water and your urine still remains dark colored... Then you can rule out dehydration and maybe diet

We can now start thinking.... If she's a lady... Of reproductive age... Is she pregnant
Any recent use of drugs.... To rule out medication
Any underlying disease conditions

You can do urinalysis test too

You are right. The action is between Buhari, the NNPC GMD & Abba Kyari who is a member of the NNPC board. Kachikwu is a floating officer to make the Niger delta think they have a eye in how their oil is being managed.

A nine-year-old girl was killed after after being bitten on the index finger by a cobra as she slept in Thailand.

Prapawee Prawat went to sleep on a mattress laid out on the concrete floor of her family home in Surat Thani, Thailand, at 7.30pm on Tuesday night.

Her family walked in on Wednesday morning to find her lifeless body lying near the deadly two-metre snake.


Prapawee's grandmother Lung Chu, 70, walked in to wake her up but found her unresponsive wearing her yellow football shirt.

Police and rescue workers arrived and noticed a small swollen red bite mark on her finger.

They then discovered the two-metre-long cobra under the bed.

Residents battered the deadly black reptile to death before Prapawee was taken to hospital for a post-mortem examination to confirm her cause of death.

Let me say this respectfully. Every polician that has held public office is corrupt. Many dont understand the meaning of corruption. You cant hold office without practicing favouratism and that is the pinnacle of corruption. Contractors bid for work and you give instruction on who the job is to be given to or there is advert for employment and you prepare the ministers list to help your people and later you accuse other people of being corrupt. Its either you dont know what corruption means or you are a pretender.

doctokwus:
She made a good point that neither party is it.
They are both controlled by corrupt people and have as their main,but unwritten theme,the enrichment of themselves,off the Nigerian state.
But the sad reality now is that the political landscape has been so monetized and the main Nigerian voting population so pauperized that it takes a candidate with either money or backed with huge funds to win the presidency.
For me therefore,for now,anyother person or thing than Buhari would suffice,no matter the party because I don't believe any other person can do worse than Buhari is now doing,whereas,Buhari is capable of doing much worse than his disastrous leadership has done thus far.

seunmsg:
And she is still a loud critic of APC and an advocate for the removal of Buhari. So, is she now a member and supporter of PDP?

she is critic now because she didnt get appointment. She didnt belong to any party in the race to the 2015 elections but she was a critic of Jonathan then.

She spoke well but would she have maintained the same stand if she was a minister in Buhari's government? I ask because I can imagine how Lai Mohammed would have been ranting if he were the opposition spokesman at this time. He has shut his mouth up in the face of a lot to talk about because his party is in charge. He is even compelled to defend those things he would ordinarily speak against.

I make bold to say that Muhammadu Buhari is behind them.

He seems to have sympathy for their course and that is too bad because God will hold him accountable for his action and inaction on the deaths due to the herdsmen's activities.

With IPOB, everyone suddenly became an expert with an opinion. Restructuring was the national anthem.

But with Fulani herdsmen that is actually killing people daily, everyone is silent.


IPOB that carries microphone is more dangerous than Fulani herdsmen that carry AK-47.

I think Buhari should address the fulani herdsmen issue with the same decisiveness with which he tackled the IPOB issue because both poss threat to the sovereignty & territorial integrity of this nation.

pauljumbo:
Leaders are silent because they don't want to embarrass the oga at the top

Maybe another way to butress your point is that they dont want to incure the wrath of oga at the top.

Good question. Can BMC provide answer to this question. The issue is that when the Fulani hersmen kill people, there is no problem but when the people retaliate, ASO rock appear threathened.

I'm so pained seeing people run away from their fatherland abecause some group of people who carry sophisiticated weapons to tend cows attack them in their villages. Honestly I wish there is something I could do now to physically defend those guys no matter how costly.

Worst of it all is that the President is indifferent about this. The governors and local government authorities look so incapacitated. Well-meaning Nigerians feel less concerned because it hasn't gotten to their estates, mansions and houses. Everybody is sitting akimbo.

How long is this onslaught going to continue? Are we going to fold our hands and watch defenseless people being slaughtered like goats in their own lands?
The first gift creation gave to man was land. The bitterest of wars you'll ever fight is over your land.

But right here, we keep silent and watch people being killed and their lands being taken over by strangers including cows.

Guys don't you think this is a strategic genocide, be it religious or ethnic?
Don't you think there are wicked ulterior motives behind these attacks?

The primary reason why you have a neighbor is, to hAve someone speak up for you when you have no voice, to have someone fight for you when you are defenseless. If your neighbor keeps silent while you're being attacked, after you might have been dealt with, it will get to his turn. It is a chain reaction people!!!!!

We are all disappointing humanity by standing neutral in time of moral and human atrocities. Those guys being attacked need someone to speak up for them at least.

Guys we have to speak up so that our diversity remains intact. Agatu comes to mind. That village is a complete shadow now. It's also happening in Southern Kaduna and Adamawa. Lineages, tribes, generations, nations are gradually being exterminated.

We can't let this continue, guys we can't. My heart bleeds now. If there is anything you can do to make the cries of these people heard, please do.
