Ibime:
Barkinde is a barefaced liar. The only uni's that offer PostGrads in Petroleum studies in UK are Imperial College and Robert Gordon uni. How can such a charlatan be made Petroleum minister? We are fed up of these Northerners controlling our oil. If Yar'Adua is serious about quelling dissent in Niger-Delta, he better stop foistering Northern Ministers upon us.

No wahala, he will get an adequate response.
lmao

Correction:
Barkindo actually heads NNPC. Rilwan Lukeman heads the petroleum ministry



Mai Suya:
Na wa o! the terms you people use: hostage','bondage'. by who?
What are you talking about ?

When southerners are killed by northern folks over some silly cartoon in europe, isn't that hostility ?

Not letting igbos form their own country and deny them the full benefits of their resources (e.g. oil) isn't that hostility ?

The amalgamation of the north and south in 1914 has held us in bondage hasn't it ?

Give it to the north though . . . splitting us into states and geopolitical zones was a master stroke to keep the south in disunity.
@bold
Thank you very much. Unlike earthmama, You got my point.

davidylan:
Well what shall we do? We cant continue like this till the nation goes bankrupt or America finally discovers an alternative to crude oil.
Are you familiar with the phrase sunk cost ? It is a financial term used for projects that so much money, time and effort
has been expended on such that, one has a hard time admitting its failure (more money keeps pumped into the project
in perpetuity or until it eventually implodes)

This unfortunately is our plight today in southern Nigeria. So much has been sacrificed to make Nigeria work that we are having a
hard time accepting the fact that our bondage with the North just cannot work.

If the leaders of all southern tribes come to a consensus and tell the North that they want to go their separate way, What are they
going to do ? What exactly are they going to do ?

You hold the key to your destiny as long as you do not remain blind and chose to place them in others' hands.

I repeat, as long as Southern Nigeria remains disunited, we are always going to be held hostage by the North. I can't emphasize this
enough.

The north will continue with their ways as long as the south remains disunited. I have said this many times; we people from southern
Nigeria are not united and the north is exploiting this big time.

superboi:
from my good knowledge of nigeria aviation what is happening at virgin nigeria basically boils down to poor business planning by the people that started the carrier, the lack of will of the investors(both local and international) to commit much funds and the fact they hope too much on government advantage. you can't blame obasanjo instead praise him for the reforms in the aviation sector because after virgin came in more people were willing to invest much more in the sector, like arik and the heavy reinvestment by aero, but ironocally that is what hurt virgin. virgin be wan make I'm papa fight I'm mate for am, they no serious

Like the bank consolidation that has enabled our banks to finance projects like Tinapa and MMA2 airport ?

To me, this is the real question here.

One more thing

Ribadu announced to the world in the national newspapers of Nigeria that he had been an assassination target.
Yet not one of you loyalists found it strange that the man did not make a report to the police on the matter. In fact, the first the police heard about it was in the Nigerian dailies.
How can he report it to the police when they are the same ones persecuting him  undecided

Did the police keep Bola Ige (attorney general at the time) and Funsho Williams from being assassinated ?

Your question is nothing short of redundant

Shame on Yar'adua for appointing someone like Dora Akunyili as Information minister. If he had no use for her as
a minister, why not just let her continue with her work at Nafdac ?

Another thing that puzzled me was the appointment of Rilwan Lukeman as the new oil minister.

Yar'adua is not ready to move the country forward

[size=13pt]  EFCC Investigates FIRS Boss Over Chevron Tax Evasion   [/size]
     
By Chesa Chesa, State House, Abuja

http://www.independentngonline.com/news/head/article01

Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has begun investigations into allegations of looting and diversion of $360m (N42.3b) levelled against the Chairman of Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Ifueko Omoigui-Okauru, and three other officials of the Service.

Also being investigated are M.A Dike, E.A Sulu and some unnamed officials of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) who were listed as accomplices in a petition filed at the EFCC by Francis Mgboh, counsel to ABZ Integrated Limited.

ABZ is a firm that served as consultant to EFCC to investigate alleged tax evasion by Chevron Group of Companies.

The firm stated that from its findings, which it carried out during the tenure of Nuhu Ribadu as EFCC Chairman, the said N42.3 billion was part of the recovery made from Chevron, but unaccounted for by FIRS.

EFCC's spokesman, Femi Babafemi, confirmed at the weekend that the commission was investigating the FIRS on account of the petition.

He said the EFCC had received the petition and has already swung into action, promising to give more details later.

The money alleged to have been diverted, was part of the $491.5m said to have been re covered from Chevron after the company was indicted for tax evasion between 2001 and 2003.

The petition said the money was eventually remitted to the Federal Government through the FIRS by Chevron in several installments but claimed that "the actual amount remitted by Omoigui-Okauru was $131m to secret accounts".

The petition further alleged that the proceeds of the diversion were expended in the purchase of choice houses and exotic cars.

The petitioners told the EFCC that the diversion was in collaboration with some officials of the CBN, and that FIRS officials suppressed all CBN advices on payment from December 29, 2005 to January 16, 2007, in order to conceal the diversion of monies recovered from Chevron.

ABZ Limited also alleged in the petition that the FIRS forged CBN Advice 013675 of September 15, 2004 with a view to diverting the first installment of the recovered tax evaded by Chevron.

Nigeria court upholds presidential election
Fri 12 Dec 2008, 8:57 GMT
[-] Text [+]

ABUJA (Reuters) - Nigeria's Supreme Court upheld the election of President Umaru Yar'Adua on Friday, rejecting challenges from his two closest rivals who alleged widespread vote-rigging.

The judgement ends nearly two years of legal wrangling, which has prevented Yar'Adua from exercising his full authority and unnerved foreign investors in Africa's most populous country.

It is very unfortunate for people to condemn this man without knowing much about his situation. Please don't judge
him solely based on what you have seen in that video.

It is not everyone that is well off or has a family/loved ones that can support them.

I pray that God will intervene in the gentleman's situation.
