They are trying to use and dump Kachikwu.

He is already used and dumped because the GMD sidelines him and reports directly to the cabal. Expect more mess soon. A lot is still covered up.

yanshDoctor:
Nigerians will be shock when things start revealing itself about this administration. the fact ministers can no longer see buhari in person but through cabals its a grave danger to the nation. letters with fake signatures will be coming out from the cabals starting that buhari said this and that without the ministers understanding a thing.

only God knows how much the cabals have spent on buhari illness.

If the ministers are allowed to see him they may know its Jibrin of Sudan.

Remember we are even talking of the petroleum ministry not that of arts and culture. He must have been receiving briefing from the GMD of NNPC instead.

bedspread:
StillDONT UNDERSTAND HOW A MINISTER WHO HAS BEEN AWAY, COMES BACK AND IS YET TO SEAT DOWN WITH HIS MINISTER OF STATE, WHO HAS HELD SWAY FOR HIM.

THIS IS NOT A WAY TO DIRECT OUR BELOVED NATION.....

It's not about Buhari or whoever..... NIGERIANS THIS NATION IS OURS .. LETS COME TOGETHER AND THROW OUT THOSE WHO WANT TO THROW US INTO THE OCEAN....

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

What is happening at NNPC is that Kachiku is a figure head. His job finished the day he was " promoted" from GMD to minister of state for petroleum. The present GMD reports directly to Buhari and the cabal. Infact the present GMD knows the button to press to sack Kachiku. Be rest assured that Kachikwu is gone in the next cabinet reshuffle. What they did to Kachikwu was what Shagari did to Lt. Gen. Alani Akinriade when he was sworn in as president in 1979. He met Gen. Akinrinade as the chief of Army staff and to ease him out, they created for the first time in Nigeria history the post of Chief of Defence Staff for him and put a northerner in his place as Chief of Army Staff. Alani resigned because the COAS position is where the action is. Thats why things hardly work in this country. The minister of state is the Chairman of the NNPC board overseeing the work of the management but tribal consideration will assure the GMD not to be affraid of the board that he is safe. For the country to move forward, we need to sit down to talk.

BounceNigeria:
The can of worms have been opened and the stench is ugly.

Earlier in the day, news broke that a letter, which the Minister of State for Petroleum, and Chairman Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) board wrote to President Buhari over the state of affairs in the NNPC, had leaked into public domain.

In the letter, Kachikwu detailed instances of corruption and insubordination channeled by NNPC's Group Managing Director (GMD), Dr Maikanti Baru.

Here are 5 damaging things Kachikwu's letter revealed.

1. Kachikwu hasn't seen President Buhari since he got back from London: According to Kachikwu, despite repeated attempts to see President Buhari, the two Petroleum ministers have not had a one-on-one meeting since Buhari got back from his extended sick leave in the United Kingdom. Said Kachikwu:

"I would have wanted to come personally after receiving you at the airport to felicitate with you and discuss matters herein contained, however I have been unable to secure an appointment to see you despite very many attempts."

2. Appointments have been made in NNPC without proper consultation: Under normal circumstances, every major appointment made in the NNPC should be subject to approval by the board. But this hasn't been the case. Kachikwu in his letter said that he finds out about appointments and re-postings in the NNPC the same time as every other Nigerian - on the pages of newspapers and on social media, despite being the boss at NNPC.

He further said this has been the case since Dr Baru resumed as NNPC GMD. Wrote Kachikwu:

"Indeed in anticipation of vacancies that would arise from retiring senior executives of NNPC, I wrote the GMD a letter requesting that we both have prior review of the proposed amendments. This was to enable me present same to the Board or give an anticipatory approval and then review with the Board later (Appendix 1). I wrote to the GMD given previous happenstances of this nature. In addition, thereafter, I called the GMD to a private meeting where I discussed these issues. Needless to say that, not only did he not give my letter the courtesy of a reply, he proceeded to announce the appointments without consultation or Board concurrence."

3. Over $25 billion worth of contracts have been awarded without following due process: According to Kachikwu, in the over one year Dr Baru has served as NNPC GMD, no contract has been run through the board. This is in spite of the fact that the legal and procedural requirement of contract awarding is that contracts worth over $20 million would need to be reviewed and approved by the Board of NNPC.

Kachikwu went on to list a number of contracts totaling $25 billion which were awarded by the NNPC Tenders Board which GMD, Dr Baru heads that flouted the $20 million mark.

The contracts include:

- The Crude Term contracts - value at over $10 billion

- The DSDP contracts - value at over $5bn

- The AKK pipeline contract - value approximately $3bn

- Various finacing allocation funding contracts with the NOCs - value over $3bn

- Various NPDC production service contracts - value at over $3bn -$4bn



4. GMD attends meetings at will: Collaborative meetings are important in every organisation to chart a course, and the NNPC is no different. It is to this end that Kachikwu, in his letter, said he instituted Monthly Parastatal meetings with Heads of Agencies, and another with the Senior Management in all Parastatals.

However, Kachikwu said the GMD objected to his senior staff attending the Joint Senior Management meetings on the ground that "this was over reaching his territory".

Kachikwu went on to say that Baru barely attends the monthly Heads of Agencies meetings, and in other cases, sends "subordinates without the courtesy of a call to explain his absence". He also added that since 2017, he has only had about 4 or 5 one-on-one meetings with Baru.

5. Fear culture in NNPC: According to Kachikwu, "the effect of the attitude of the GMD and the sidelining of the Board is that there is a fear culture in NNPC".

He went on to say that the open administration which he introduced with President Buhari's support has been eroded and that "NNPC staff are afraid of contacting me to avoid being punished, sidelined in appointments and targeted."

funmisticqueen:
i only insulted u cos you were judging the woman instead of proferring a solution

The woman claimed to be 39 years and I am much much more older than her and I said at that age she ought to have enough experience about how to prevent unwanted pregnancy except she deliberately allowed it because time was running out on her. I wrote this having taking time to read through her write up. We have a terrible culture in this forum where people insult everybody. They hide under the hiden identity of nairaland to insult the president, everyone. In nairaland, news readers include teenagers and even 70yr old men. A 60yr old man makes a comment, a 25yr old person says shut your mouth, fool, zombie and things like that. To the users of the forum, all are mates. I once wondered whether all the insults people throw around here would have been so if nairaland was a forum for french people or the Americans where people are treated with much decorum. I am not surprised though when the first words Nigerian children utter when learning how to speak are you dey mad, see you head etc. I wonder how we got here? What goes around come around. When you slap your father, get prepared for a slap from your son or daughter. That's it. Eshegan.

Paul, Paul, wetin na? Abeg e don do. You wan begin proud na. No be God give you the talent?

Counter ffk 32 assertions on why he thinks buhari have a double with superior arguments and not just making noise,we are not in a banana republic.

After the allegation, I come zoom this Buhari picture begin look well whether na true. Which kind wahala be all these?

funmisticqueen:
shut up

say anything you like. Kids will soon begin to mess u up. When you make comment on nairaland you insult everyone that has contrary view to the one you have,.

Akinz0126:
You all attacking the. Messengers leaving behind the message are dounce.


Well nothing is impossible in 9ja whatever way we've been scam and their might be an atom of truth in it!!!

Ye shall not quote me I repeat thou shall not quote me

An allegation has been made. It is left for us to observe to if it is true. We are Nigerians and we know ourselves and we know there is nothing some of us can not do to cling to power, so lets watch. I guarantee you that if the allegation is true, even Osinbajo will release it to FFK or Fayose to blow it open because they are good at such things. Remember when they mentioned the president to Babachua Lawal, the enstranged former SGF, he asked which president? What did he mean? Could he be asking whether they are talking about the real president or the one being prepared? I dont believe the allegations too but I ll rather leave my options open because this is Nigeria.

FrancisDiote:
May God help us in this country. Though i doubt it but of a fact he is more agile than before.

And doesnt use his glasses

If the allegations are correct then it must have been leaked from within aso rock. You cant deceive us. I believe the truth or otherwise will come out in due course because those who know Buhari inside out will spot the difference.

I am catching cold. Can the cabal truely go to this extent to cling to power? I dont think so but with what happened during Yar Adua, anything can happen in Nigeria.

Former Minister of Aviation, Olufemi Olukayode has taken to Facebook to buttress Nnamdi Kanu's claim of President Buhari being substituted with a double who now parades himself as the President.

He highlighted some observations to support the claim.

See the observations below.

Rolandonyi:
Ozekhome has always been the lawyer of the corrupt in the society more reason we don't need this corrupt people in government now. Buhari till 2023, whoever objects should go and hang simple. I have spoken!

If folks say its only Buhari that has the magic wand to govern this country of almost 200 million people, then we are doomed as a nation. I am not suprised though because as an addult during Sanni Abacha's regime, they told us there was no alternative to him but when he died, Nigeria turned from the grip of dictatorship to the better era of democracy that we are all enjoying today.

Youngmum1:
Sue on..... We still don't want you at the helm of affairs in this country. Bye

Please be gracious enough to personalise your opinion. Better to say "I still dont want you at". This sounds better because ultimately it is God and the majority vote that will install the next president, not the your opinion or that of other nairalanders.

Why seek advise when you are up to something. At 39, you know about protective sex, so allowing this and telling us your age to draw sympathy is not acceptable. Looks like setting the man up and at the end accuse him of impregnating you. Get ready to be a single parent and this is not good for the child but that is how you choose your life so brace up.

Hi guys,
I dated this guy when I was in the university and we broke up. Fast forward years later we meet again and he we start off dating barely months now.
I discovered I'm pregnant yesterday and he says he's not ready for a child cos he's financially not okay amidst other things.
I am not prepared for pregnancy at the time but I'm 39 years old.
I had a major surgery(myomectomy)2years ago. As it appears he may not marry me. This wasn't my plan for my life (having a child ouuta wedlock)
What are my options healthwise of conceiving in the future?

There is nothing magical or medical about that. I had a sister whose bow leg was worse than this and it straigthened naturally. These are the mysteries of Jehovah. Honour be to him.

It's a 'gone too soon' post for a Ugandan man identified as David Ntege, who reportedly collapsed and died after bumping into his wife who claimed she went abroad for further studies, with another man at a restaurant where he had checked in for some refreshments.

TUKO reports that David and his wife got married in a colorful wedding in April,2017, but the newly-wedded couple did not enjoy their marriage as the wife 'traveled abroad' for further studies not long after the wedding.

Upon confrontation, his already pregnant wife confessed that she only married him to get a marriage certificate, and David couldn't take the shock collapsed and died on the spot.

David died on Sunday, October 1 2017 and will be buried on Tuesday,3 October 2017,in Buyende District,Uganda.

SouthEast people are not as ambitious and desperate as Hausa/Fulani people when it comes to political power.
When I hear people say that igbos are not marginalized I weep for their illiteracy.
Can there be peace in Nigeria,if the Hausa/Fulani don't Smell the position of the President and Vice for over say 20years?
Your guess is as good as mine

If you deprive them of power a minute more than 8 years, there will be war in Nigeria. I met an hausa man who told me the nations commerce is with the igbos, the economy with the yorubas and so the administration of the country is theirs for the taking.

La ilaha illa Allah Muhammed Rasul Allah. English translation: There is no god but God, and Muhammad is the messenger of God

Oya go and kee urself

We agree he is a messenger of God but how do you explain his follower killing this 2 innocent girls shouting the name of our God?

abiodunalasa:
Now they will call this Terrorism. while that of Los Angeles will be simply called "Shooting spree ".

It is the intent that determines what it is called. That of France shouted something before killing innocent souls. If investigation shows that the killer in Los Angeles is a lunatic or one with mental issues then they will call it shooting spree. So relax.
