THIS SHOULD LIKELY BE THE REASON

Dr. Kachikwu, who is also the Group Managing
Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC), is to appear before the
Committee on Petroleum (Downstream) today to
state the steps being taken to stop the scarcity.
Committee Chairman Jibrin Barau told reporters after
an on-the-spot assessment of filling stations in the
Federal Capital Territory (FCT) that the invitation
became necessary following the hardship Nigerians
go through as a result of the scarcity.
He said despite assurances by the ministry that the
situation would be controlled, it had lingered. “We
have invited the Minister of State (for Petroleum
Resources) to appear before the committee tomorrow
(today) to tell us about the fuel scarcity and the
strategy he is employing to solve it.
“`[We will expect him to give a date when the problem
will be resolved permanently.]

This is not enough reason to allow the committee to box him into a corner. Giving dates in cases that presents a lot contingencies and factors, beyond Kachikwu's control, that can hinder his efforts. He will have himself to blame if this doesn't work out.

Hmmmm. This Kachukwu is really not a diplomat.

It is OK to apologize for hurting the feelings of Nigerians with the careless statement earlier made by him. However, I don't think he had to put an effective date to the solution.

Why could he not just say: we are working on adequate supply of petroleum products in the country and elimination of queues at the various filling stations across the country sooner.

Corporal punishment has been in practice here in Nigeria for quite sometime, I don't think Ogechi is the only student, even in that school, that has been subjected to such punishment.

However, corporal punishment can be excessive sometimes and that should be checked and discouraged. I believe the beating of Ogechi was cruelly done and extreme. The teachers didn't have to flog her directly on her backside, that can be interpreted as an attempt to inflict injuries on the victim in the name of punishment.

Given the situation at hand, I think the government shouldn't have removed the principal, vice principal and four other teachers all at once. This will affect the students and also the morals of the teachers and management of the school.
Some teachers may even find it difficult to correct the students especially when corporal punishment is necessary.
Replacing those teachers may be a major challenge too.

The government has not addressed the matter properly. I think there were better measures to reprimand the teachers and principals.

Back in those days, Rita Dominic and Jim Iyke had a wonderful chemistry, most movie producers noticed it and were featuring the both often times.

Do you remember those days?

Your friend should take a break off the relationship with her man, she has to start preparing to move on so it will not weigh her down.

She can discuss it with her man, make him understand that she knows of his interest in her cousin.

Give him the permission to perfect the relationship and officially end the relationship with him.

Advice him to move her cousin to his house or get a house for her elsewhere.

Give her cousin quit notice from her house. Let her know that she is aware of a possible relationship between her cousin and her man but that she has decided to let the both of them go on with the relationship.

She has to end the relationship between her and both of them ASAP.

She doesn't really look like a 14 years old.

Can you imagine

How does that bother us?

Another stupid outburst from the executive government. If the PMB govt is tired, they should just resign so we get another set of leaders.

It was PMB, Kachukwu and now Adesina.

It is a sick country after all.

tivta:
Lamo, it has begun, hypocrites everywhere, because kachukwu is a gmd of nnpc jagaban can tackle him but the same jagaban can't tackle the minister of petroleum, very very funny...

Ibe Kachukwu is the minister of state for petroleum resources hence, he is the recognised minister of petroleum resources.

He reports to the President like every other minister.

Do we have to put to you like a 3yrs old?

Mr Man, there comes a time when you tell things as it is. Can you take his job and let's see how good you are? Every spectator is professional soccer player...

There are a lot of people, out there, that are better qualified, skilled and equipped to do his job. He is definitely not the best at the job, it is a favor and privilege to be offered his job. I don't have to be a magician to execute his job effectively and efficiently.

However, if he is not a magician that can profer realistic solutions to our problems and better our lots. He should quit the job and we will get a better person to do the job.

He isn't indispensable.

I am too sure you can't do his job, you are probably from the stone age and you see him as messiah so you can't understand me.

2sexynet:
so he should rather lie to Nigerians and dash the hopes of Nigerians when the promises fail?

Does diplomacy mean lies? Please see your English dictionary.

Diplomacy is essential in every business administration or management. Politics is a business and it requires diplomacy too.

Ibe Kachikwu should learn the art of diplomacy in communication.

His statements are sometimes careless and unprofessionally constructed.

She is always anti-Olamide!

Shop for another lady, you will get a lot that want your money

Kachikwu can be loose canon sometimes: he talks carelessly sometimes.

I am disappointed with his utterance concerning the recent fuel scarcity.

If indeed PMB is contemplating failure at this stage, then I think he should consider resignation.

He has been showing signs of incompetence in recent times and this statement may just be a confirmation.

Little wonder; old and obsolete mind working with majorly old and obsolete minds too

I think APC is fast losing the popularity and they may not retain power in 2019.

I am also disappointed thus far.

PMB and FG are getting on my nerves with his nonchalant attitude towards the massacre of innocent people and attempts to colonize the land and assets of the aborigines.

This is shameful behaviour from the president.

Abagworo:
No matter how hypocritical the OP tries to be the fall of P Square has been in waiting since Peter got married to a woman not accepted by anyone in their family. I don't know of Europeans but in Igboland and Africa marriage is between families and not individuals. The fall of Peter in the coming years will serve as a lesson to many. He might end up being dependent on his wife and the wife will start seeing him as a liability.

Another tribalistic and egoistic bigot

By the way, I can't verify an insider gossip that this imbroglio has nothing to do with the women, but mostly with one of the twins, who's a lavish spender and more extroverted. Jude being the older brother and Manager, of course, wanted to control him but Peter won't have it and wanted him fired. Paul won't have that, and so they came to this sorry pass.

NB: Notice that I kept using man and wife. That is because I am strongly of the view and inclination that marriage is (and has to be) between a man and a woman, male and female-as God ordained it. However, I'm pro-choice, which means, I won't bother with any choices you have decided to make in the matter, so long as they do not affect me directly. Even my male dogs know so.

Excuse me with respect to the bold words, Peter has the right to spend his money the way he wishes, he deserves his share of the business profit, he made his money and should be responsible for his management or mismanagement of his funds.

He is an adult who shouldn't be intimidated or prevented from managing his funds especially by his brother or extended family. His wife or employee can be his financial advisor.

Yemi sha, omo you sexy

JUHABACH:
it doesnt matter if a million men "stand" with PMB on this matter. his actions will remain null and void as long as constitutional provisions are being violated.

Go to court. He didn't violate the constitution. He will only do the needful by officially requesting the legislative arm to repeal and amend the NNPC act.

introvertedsoul:
[size=16pt]No need to complicate issues. . . You could simply answer his question and say veto power was used, but then again there was no bill to be vetoed. With that said, it is glaringly obvious BUHARI's actions are illegal. NO MAN IS ABOVE THE LAW, NO ONE!!![/size]

Call him above the law or a lawless man wannabe. I don't care on this matter.

JUHABACH:
unbundling the NNPC would be tatamount to repealing the NNPC Act. suchh actions require both the executive and the legislative, else it is unconstitutional. this is basically a major reason why enactment of laws in nigeria occur at snail-slow pace

Where is the PIB bill? It has spent close to 10 years in the house of reps and senate. Did they pass it or have you seen any effort to pass it yet.

We all know the outcome if the executive government goes through the senate and house of representatives on this matter. They will frustrate it.

I still stand with PMB on this matter.

CFCman:
If Buhari goes ahead to unilaterally unbundle the NNPC, what stops concerned individuals from suing the FG? A Federal High Court would easily rule in favor of the plaintiff(s), holding that the president's actions were illegal, null and void.

Let the concerned fellows go to court and challenge the decision of the president on this matter. We shall be waiting

JUHABACH:
i do not understand. are you implying that buhari is above the law?

He acted in the best interest of Nigeria and that is legal, we gave him the mandate when we voted him President.

JUHABACH:
it is unfortunate that the system is imperfect but no one is above the constitution.

Be realistic, PMB has not violated the constitution. He has taken the decision in the best interest of Nigeria and so help him God. That is one of the fiduciary responsibilities he swore to uphold and I am pleased with him on this matter.

JUHABACH:
you do realise thhat if buhari fails to follow due process on matters such as this, not only will his action be deemed null & void (i.e. pointlesd/futile), he will also leave himself open to impeachment proceedings. thats how democracy works bruh.

Try the impeachment joker now and see the reaction. We are waiting

introvertedsoul:
You call this an overhaul?
This is killing a cyclops and replacing it with a hydra headed monster.
Moves and decisions like these require well calculated and seriously deliberated steps, not brash actions on impulse based on personal motive.

What makes you think it wasn't well calculated, discussed, analyzed and planned?

What do you know about the move that makes you think it is hyra headed monster? Tell us!

JUHABACH:
no one is questioning buhari's motives. but due process must be followed. this is a democracy, not a dictatorship.

If he has to be a dictator to get somethings right in time and on time, so be it. We know the antecedents of the reps and senators - perverts, corrupt and saboteurs.

Ahmeduana:
THUNDER FIRE AND STRIKE WHO EVER SUPPORT ILLEGALITIES.

What is illegal about it? The reps and senators should just do the needful - repeal the NNPC act and introduce the clause that enables the government to unbundle it if necessary.

I support due process but not on this one due to the antecedents of the senate. We should stop deceiving ourselves, we must progress in Nigeria.
