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.

That was how ineffectual buffoon later appoint him to be his spokesman.

If GEJ was ineffectual buffon, please tell us who PMB is? An effectual buffon or what? Please I dont know and that is why I am asking.

How can this Ozekhome guy be so dumb?

If the young SAN is dumb, how about the man you are defending? At 75, dumbness sets in naturally as brain cells begin to die due to old age. Maybe you have not lived with the aged before.

They cant dance there because they only dance against Buhari's enemies and not against the enemies of Nigeria.

I dont understand this man. If he consults the God we all serve, I am sure he wouldnt have ran as vice presidential candidate to Buhari in 2011 because God would have told him he would loose. When God speaks, he brings it to pass.

Who are the blackmailers? This people will not take responsibilities for anything. The price of pms & other petroleum products have gone up because the price of crude oil is up. For the product to be sold at pump price of N145, subsidy has to be paid otherwise the marketers will sell at a loss. Because the product is being diverted, the government appears reluctant to resume the payment of subsidy. The situation became compounded by the one day strike of PENGASSAN. This government however needs to take responsibility because they are in power. If we blaimed Jonathan for all the fuel crises in his tenure to warrant the the occupynigeria agitation, PMB and co have to stop blaiming the marketers and do what is needed to address the situation. QED.

I didnt know this people knew that human beings make mistake when they were in opposition.

What do we believe? Last week, they told us it will be over by week end and here we are!

metroblogger:
The Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Maikanti Baru, has vowed that Nigerians will not go into 2018 with the scarcity of petroleum products.

Baru, who disclosed this to State House correspondents in Abuja on Friday, reiterated NNPC’s position to ensure the pump price of fuel was maintained at the current official price of N145 per litre.

According to him, any marketer found hoarding fuel or selling above the official price will be punished.

“I’m happy to report that we have tamed the monster that reared it’s head as a result of the rumoured price increase about three weeks ago.

“Fortunately that rumour instigated a lot of marketers to be very greedy and they decided that their fellow citizens should not enjoy the Christmas holiday and New Year with ease and decided to profiteer starting by hoarding and diversion of products.

“At the beginning I did address the press, telling the world that we have sufficient products that will last us 30 days through the New Year into January but because the marketers wanted to inflict harm and pains on fellow citizens, they decided to hoard products, divert them and in some cases even smuggled products out of the country.

“This has been tamed by the actions we took and I personally led the war around Abuja and other teams led the war in Lagos and other parts of the country,’’ he said.

The GMD, according to NAN, noted that already the queues in the filling stations in Abuja had started disappearing, saying that normalcy would soon be restored in the distribution of the product.

He said: “As of this morning, I have gone round the Abuja metropolis and I have seen that the queues have reduced significantly to almost normal level and few motorists that I heard speaking on morning programmed concerning what I have seen said they have not spent up to 30 minutes to fuel their cars.

“So the monster has been tamed in Lagos, the situation has been brought into normalcy as far as two days ago and we are also aching the same thing in all other cities.

“I promise that we have sufficient products that will last us for the next 30 days and we keep bringing in 50 per cent over and above our normal consumption into the country.

“And vessels have been lined up, at the moment I have eight vessels discharging products at various ports around the country.

“So Nigerians should enjoy the New Year and that Mr. President’s directive and guidance which has been very helpful has been executed and normalcy has returned.’’

He advised those marketers that had hidden the products in odd locations to better bring them out and sell to the public at N145 per litre, saying “if NNPC sold it to you at N133.28, you have sufficient margin within that ambit to be able to supply and sell to the public at maximum N145 per litre.’’

According to him, the NNPC filling stations are selling the product at N143 per litre.

He warned that any marketer caught selling above the official price of N145 per litre would be sanctioned appropriately by the regulator, DPR and PPPRA with the support of law enforcement agencies.

He said the Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC), would make sure that the products were confiscated and given free to the public.

“This is the directive that we are working on by Mr. President and is being executed to the later. Bring them out and sell these products, we don’t have any shortage and we are making massive loadings.

“Normally we should be able to have 850 trucks to satisfy the National consumption but as at yesterday (Dec. 28) we loaded 1,750 trucks to go around the country.

“So we will continue massive load out until we reach the former position whereby all the stations will have products and truck siding,’’ he added.

At least you are doing your job, hope you've been paid for the month? or you are also in the fuel station queuing?

A zombie is bound to enjoy all the hardship. Every pain rolled out by this government is enjoyment for a zombie. So if he is in a fuel station, he will see it as one of the sacrifice he needs to make for the government to succeed, afterall his allowance is on.

Sound men are able to read between the lines. This guy is one of the sound lawyers in this country unfortunately I dont have the means to higher him.

When crude price rises, Nigeria gains but the people suffer because the price of pms and other petroleum products increase because the cost of the raw material has increased.

marryjesus:
Crude oil price has risen by $20 per barrel above Nigeria’s benchmark of N45 a barrel in the 2018 proposed yearly budget.In the proposed N8.6 trillion ‘Budget of Consolidation’ presented by President Muhammadu Buhari to the National Assembly for approval, crude oil benchmark price was put at an average of N45 per barrel, based on low benchmark price of $35, medium ($45) and high ($55) scenarios, while production was set at 2.3 million barrels per day.

At the close of Tuesday trading hour, global benchmark, Brent crude oil price was $65.25 a barrel, while the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) settle at $58.47 per barrel.What this means is that, at Nigeria’s production peg of 2.3 million proposed in the 2018 budget, the country will be making an excess crude oil earnings of $46 million per day (N16.5 billion), if crude oil price remain at $65 a barrel in 2018.

Brent crude oil has remained at above $60 a barrel level in the last few days, sparking talks that this could be the new floor under oil prices and that $70 a barrel oil in short term is now not only a producers’ wildest dreams, but a reality.This also shows that the crude oil production capping embarked upon by members and non-members of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is yielding positive result.


For example, as of November 2017, the OPEC and participating non-OPEC producing countries achieved an impressive highest conformity level of 122 per cent, following the pattern of high performances in the past months.This, OPEC said is coupled with the aforementioned amendment of the Declaration of Cooperation, is an unequivocal demonstration of the steadfast commitment of participating countries to continue working towards the achievement of the goal of rebalancing the market and putting it on a sustainable stable footing.

According to OPEC, The Joint OPEC-Non-OPEC Ministerial Monitoring Committee (JMMC) expressed great satisfaction with the results and sustained level of high conformity with the voluntary production adjustments, and encouraged all participating countries to achieve full conformity for the benefit of producers and consumers alike.

The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu, Nigeria was capable of meeting and exceeding the 2.3 million barrels per day crude oil production and oil revenue benchmarks in the proposed 2018 budget before the National Assembly for approval.“First, the 1.8 million barrels per day was not a cap fixed for Nigeria by OPEC, but an expectation,” he explained.

“Also, Nigeria’s oil output does not include condensate production of 350,000 barrels per day. So, between 1.8 million bpd and 350,000 bpd, we are doing 2.2 million barrels per day. We can produce more than the 1.8 million bpd if we have the capacity.”

Group General Manager, Corporate Planning and Strategy, Bala Wunti, said the current production capacity for the country was more than 2.3 million barrels per day, noting, however, that due to the insecurity in the Niger Delta region, the full production capacity has not been achieved over the years. “The 2018 crude oil national production projection for Joint Ventures, Modified Carry Arrangement or External Financing, Production Sharing Contracts, Independents, Marginal Fields and Service Contracts is about 2,298,000 barrels per day,” Wunti said.

He added that the 2018 price projection on the long term price assumption was based on price scenarios of $35 (low), $45 (medium) and $55 (high), stressing that most price forecasting agencies thought that the medium price scenario had the highest probability of occurrence which the 2018 budget was hinged upon. “Consequently, a conservative price projection of $45 per barrel was used as benchmark for crude price for 2018 budget,” Wunti stated.

Former president of Nigeria Goodluck Jonathan meets Africa's only Ballon d'Or winner George Weah, who is poised to become the next president of Liberia

What can you say about them? :

I am happy that Africa is improving. Parties in power are being voted out and they are not manipulating the process to remain in power. I think we are gradually getting out of the jungle.

christejames:
He will still be flown abroad to continue from where his father stopped.
wishing him quick recovery though.

2019 things. The boy head strong o. He say no be him dem go take do sacrifice for election.

gregpee:
looking down the Memory Lane, it just occurred to me that these politicians are virtually liars. the question here is has the president fulfil his campaign promises?

Their greatest problem in 2019 is that "them no dey deceive ashewo two times"

gregpee:
looking down the Memory Lane, it just occurred to me that these politicians are virtually liars. the question here is has the president fulfil his campaign promises?

The fight against corruption should start from those who lied to win election. PMB, Oyegun, Tinubu & Lai Mohammed should be in jail by now if we trully want to fight corruption. I prefer a candidate who makes two promises and fulfils them to a candidate who makes ten and is struggling to fulfil one.

Rigel95:
nice one from Liberians. Anyone above 70years has no business ruling a nation. Nigeria is next!

Let Nigerias learn from this. I love old people because I like to grow old too. Old people should be resting before God calls them to the great beyond, not still struggling for power as if that is the ticket they need to enter heaven. Lets learn from Liberia by using our votes to force the aged into retirement and replace them with youthful men/women.

stop refering to the past, we are talking about the present.
