Politics / David Cameron On Nigeria's $100b Oil Money by wisemaster(m): 6:18am On Feb 19, 2013
It was a pleasant news that David Cameron, Prime Minister of Britain was obliging to assist Nigerians to know what we never knew about our oil money that was never made public by Jonathan's administration.

At G8 Economic Summit in Davos on Thursday January 24th, 2013, Cameron expressed his concern over Nigeria's oil and gas income.

He averred that "I want this G8 to lead a big push for transparency across the developing world. To illustrate why, let me give you one example. A few years back a transparency initiative exposed a huge black hole in Nigeria's finances, an $800m discrepancy between companies' payments and government's receipts for oil.

This is leading to new regulation of Nigeria's oil sector so the richness of the earth can actually enrich the people of that country. And the potential is staggering.

Last year Nigerian oil exports were worth almost $100b, more than total net aid to the whole of Sub-Sahara Africa, put simply unleashing the natural resources in these countries dwafts anything aid can achieve - and transparency is critical to that..

So we are going to push for more transparency on who owns companies, on who's buying up land and for what purpose, on how governments spend their money, on how gas, oil and mining companies operate, on who is hiding stolen assets and how we recover and return them.

Like everything else in this G8, the ambitions are big - and I make no apology for that.. Thirty years ago more than half the planet lived on the equivalent of $1.25 a day or less. Today it is around a fifth." David Cameron said all these without apology to anybody who might felt exposed.
According to the data released by the Energy Information Administration of the United States Department of Energy, showed that out of $1.15trillion released from oil by the 12 OPEC member states ,Nigeria gets $90b,being the forth highest in the team in 2012.The Federal Inland Revenue Service also collected about N5trillion as tax in 2012. While in 2011 the total revenue from oil was $65b with N4.62trillion realised as tax the same year.Yet with all these income from oil & tax,and increased in oil production of 2.4million bpd with over $100 per barrel,Nigeria became a worst country for a child to be born and saddest people on earth with dilapidated infrastructure as our lots and ever increasing debts profile both foreign and domestic with nothing to show for it physically.While some serious OPEC countries who also made great money from oil at the same time as ours are recording tremendious progresses. It is shameful that Quater with 1.7m population,in 2011 released a plan to invest $150b of her oil wealth on infrastructure over 5years with already increased electricity generation from 2,200Mw in 2001 to 8,750Mw as of today. And Saudi Arabia with population of 28m people is planning to spend $100b to add 30,000Mw to its 40,000Mw currently generated. . Venezuela is also investing her oil revenue into transportation,plus the construction of 1,000-kilomitre railway line at the cost of $1.1b.
World Bank experts had equally stated before that Nigeria get 90% of her total revenue from oil, and 80% of her total revenue is in the hands of 1% of the population. Why is looting of the treasury so endemic and our leaders flagitious about making the masses poorer in Nigeria.

It took the audacity of David Cameron to challenge our profligate leaders on the issues of $100b oil money accrued to Nigeria government last year alone, an equivalent of N15.6 trillion, and no response from the government's poachers turned game keepers, 'today's men', official minions and presidential vassals in defence of the great revelation from Britain.

Premised on this clarion call by Cameron, the president peregrinated to London on what God knows mission on Tuesday 5th February, 2013 probably to sort out things with David Cameron in London on his open dertermination to enforce transparency and expose corruption in Nigeria oil and gas income. It was derisible that no british official was at the airport to welcome the Nigerian President save the Nigerian Ambassador and other nigerian officials in London.

David Comeron knew how much his country was given to the whole of Sub-Sahara Africa developing countries as aid, and was pained that what Nigeria government got from oil in last year alone was far greater than what all the aids can give, yet the money is not translated to better conditions of living for Nigerian masses in general.

His interest in letting the wealth of Nigeria gets to the generality of Nigerians is loudable and commendable. It was heroic for him to have addressed the G8 members on the need for them to help expose who owns oil and gas companies, who own lands, how the money from oil and gas has been spent and who are those people hiding stolen money and assist to recover them and return them.

It was a big shame that transparancy is alien to us in Nigeria, and it will only take foreign media atimes to expose humugous looting going on in the land.

The case of James Ibori that stole above $50b from Delta State that no Nigerian Court could cage him until Britain's Metropolitan Police stepped into the case and got him convicted and incarcerated in London is enough to let our leaders cover their eyes in shame.

The money that can finance our national budget in the next three years are yet to be accounted for.

The government will need to brace up and speak out on this brazen allegation and make known to Nigeria public what happened to $100b or N15.6 trillion oil money they received last year because silence means consent and travelling to London now does not solve the problem, the cat has been let out of the bag already, for the news is already in the public domain, what we are waiting for is their explanation, whether David Cameron also gaffed like they carpetted the former Minister of Education, Oby Ejekwesili on her allegation that $67b was left in the treasury in 2007 i.e. $45b foreign reserves and $22b excess crude oil account had been sqandered by both Yar'adua and Jonathan's governments..

David Cameron can never be given to frivolity as I can say, being an international man and world elder state man, who can never be given to riddle chatter.

On Thursday 7th February, 2013 the report of the House Committee on finance an independent revenue generation and remittance to the consolidated Revenue Fund by government - owned agencies that was considered, alleged that many agencies of the government are not remitting their money generated from 2009 - 2012 to the tune of N8.8 trillion. What can we say of these agencies. Are they a disservice to the common interest of the common people of this nation or serving some notorious cabal.?

The report revealed that in 2009, the agencies generated N3.06 trillion as independent revenue, but remitted only N46.8b or 1.53% to the treasury. In 2010, the agencies realised N3.07 trillion but remitted N54.1b or 1.76%.

In 2011, N3.17 trillion was generated but only N73.8b or 2.33% was remitted to the treasury,while last year expected remittance was N189b, but only N80b was remitted to the treasury as of October, excluded NNPC's income. The other agencies apart from NNPC include FCT, FAAN, NIMASA, NPA, NCC, NBC, FONBN e.t.c. as reported by The Nation on Friday, 8th February, 2013 pages 1 & 4.

It will take strong political will, institutions, shared vision, structures and commitment and determination from our political leaders and strong agitations from the civil organisations and the entire populace before the general wealth of the nation can get into the hands of the generality of the masses. According to Malcom X "Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything , if you are a man, you take it."

David Cameron further stated that "It's a world where - regrettably - corrupt government officials in some countries and some corporations run rings around the letter and spirit of the law to rip - off hard working people and plunder their natural resources ..... we can see the results; the government cronies get rich ---- some boyand their wildest dresams of avarice ---- while the people stay poor, so it's clear how this can be devastating for some developing countries"

I want to conclude this piece with the words of consecration and determination of Mr Lee Kwan Yew,the first Prime Minister of Singapore in his authobiography. "From Third World To First" where he said. "When we took office in 1959 we set- out to have a clean administration, we were sickened by the greed, corruption and decadence of many Asian leaders.
Fighters for freedom for their people have become plunderers of their wealth. Their societies slipped backwards. We made sure from the day we took office, that every dollar in revenue would be properly accounted for and would reach the beneficiaries at the grassroots as one dollar, without being siphoned off along the way".

Politics / Aristocrats In Aircrafts Craze by wisemaster(m): 5:03pm On Dec 05, 2012
It is grotesque that Nigeria got an egregious global ranking of being the second after China with highest number of private aircrafts. It was ingloriously revealed that in 2007 the private aircrafts were 20 in number, but between that time and 2012 they have increased to circa 223 aircrafts in the hands of private citizens, a feat awkwardlize the already battered image of the nation as one of the most corrupt nations of the world .
Nigeria cannot boast of a functional national carrier with rickety 50 commercial airlines that lack sound airworthiness.

It’s tomfoolery and raillery for a nation that pride herself as the giant of Africa with over 70% of the citizenry living below poverty line of $ 2 per day, with high records of official & corporate corruption, with depth traps roads, high rate of inflation index & unemployment, underfunding of education sector resulting in 701 abandoned projects in federal universities, 3,500Mw for 167m population and lack of adequate health care system, that is making the ruling class and elites to embark on luxurious odyssey abroad for medical jamboree.

Yet with all these social disservices to the nation, some Nigerians can still own over 200 private aircrafts.

In England, the Queen always travels on commercial flights, even the Prime Minister; David Cameron explained that, his country cannot afford the luxury of having a fleet of presidential jets at the expense of their economy. The other time he travelled to U.S, he went on commercial flight, but Nigerian presidency can boast of 9 presidential aircrafts in the presidential fleets. Even Warrant Buffet, one of the top richest man in the world is not having a private jet. He said those who said because of their tight schedule need make them to go for private jets are liars. He said how many of them has schedule as tight as his own. It’s just greed and profligacy at display. How come these private citizens are neurotic and monomaniac about aircrafts? What is the source of their income, what do they pay as tax? How many of them have an established and profiting ventures apart from politics and government patronage ?. Many politicians are now jetting in and out of their domains in their jets. The faddism that caused the ghastly accident of Governor Suntai recently.

What are the functions of anti graft agencies? What else do they want the masses to tell them before they embark on thorough investigation of the owners of those private jets, to know the true source of their monies. EFCC & ICPC seems to be effete and rendering sincere disservice to the nation in this regards. Or is it because they are the ones that appointed them, and they can’t bite the fingers that fed them? Why that Mr Lamorde kept crying that the rich are frustrating EFCC's efforts in prosecuting the high profile cases because of their enormous riches? Is it lamentation of his ineptness or what? Being edentate at this time will not help the matters but aggravate it..

Oby Ekwesili, former minister of education said recently that Nigeria get 90% of her revenue from oil, and 80% of it is in the hands of 1% of the populace. A great indictment against these aristocrats who are feeding fats at the expense of the poor masses.

The ruling elites introduce a gravy train for themselves, with some governors rumored to be collecting #3b annually as security vote ,while they wickedly denied the payment of N18,000 minimum wage to the poor workers of their states.

Low budgetary implementation and fraud in the oil sector with Nuhu Ribadu exposing the can of worms at the sector in his recently submitted report, that is already facing condemnation from those that set it up.

"The World bank recently released numbers indicating that about $400b has been pilfered from Nigeria treasury since independence. One needs to stop for a moment to wrap one's mind around that incredible figure. This amount----$400b -----is approximately the gross domestic products of Norway and of Sweden. In other words Nigeria's corrupt ruling class stole the equivalent of the entire economy of a European country in four decades! This theft of national funds is one of the factors essentially making it impossible for Nigeria to succeed" There Was A Country, by Chinua Achebe, page 249. Sen Isa Galaudu reiterated that Nigeria spend in a year what South Africa spend in 5years as budget .N12.4b missing oil windfall, N450b annually lost to corruption,N4trillion still in the hands of MDAs since 2009 which the Auditor General of the Federation queried recently. Pinnacle Contractors Limited's N2.7b fuel subsidy scam, Otedola/Lawan saga; over N2trillion subsidy probe, Turnaround Maintenance’s scam,N501b pension fraud plus 73,000 ghost workers detected at HOS' office recently, are all enough areas to let free fund flow into the hands of the charlatans.

Instead of opening up the wealth of the nation for all and sundry to create autarkic environment , they embark on flaky and asthenic economic policies to enrich themselves and emasculate the masses.

Brazil’s national carrier, TAM airline is currently flying to 43 destinations within their country with 92 international destinations. The airlines have about 154 modern aircrafts in their care, and expecting to receive the delivery of another 132 aircrafts to be added to their fleet. With target of absorbing another 1,100 aircraft in the next 20 years to boast their aviation industry’s strategic expansion. Presently, some 29,700 people are employed by their airline with passenger volume of 37.7 million as of 2011. Yet they are not in the league of nations with private aircrafts..

Ethiopia that derives her national income majorly from aviation is not among the nations with high number of private aircrafts. Qatar , Emirates even American are not among the list of nations with higher numbers of private aircrafts despite the success story of their economies and advanced industrialization. The standard of living and provision of social infrastructure in those climes are per excellence.

But in Nigeria, the callous and avaricious leaders are swanky and jaunty. The whole nation lack single national airline to our pride yet we have over 200 aircrafts in the hands of private citizens; with over 70% of them being labeled as oil thieves by Hon Dino Melayo. No wonder the carnage on our bad roads does not cut their attention at all, since they do not ply the poor roads damage by their trailers anymore. Horses are purchased for the time of battle, so also those feudal predators have acquired aircrafts to themselves for the time of imminent revolution already predicted by former president Obasanjo to ease their escape, but they will be disappointed on the great day of visitation. They spent billions of naira to repairs 11 airports not because of altruism, patriotism or egalitarianism but because of their egoism.
At the burial of Dr. Olusola Saraki on Wednesday 14th November 2012 at Ilorin, the elites put off effacement to show off their ego trip and called the bluff of whoever cares by appearing in their private and chartered jets at the funeral, telling the poor masses by their actions that they love themselves more than the people and they can’t take the risk of plying those dangerous and tortuous roads to Ilorin, but the masses who have no option can travel on those lives claiming roads.

The life of President Jose Mujica of Uruguay is a direct contrast to the lives of those puffy elites and political mountebanks who refused to fix the roads all because of their shortsightedness and lack of feeling for fellow human beings. Jose Mujica is being called the world's poorest president ,because out of his $12,000 or £7.500 [N1.9m]monthly salary, he gave 90% {N1.7m] of it to the poor for charity, making his remaining salary $1,200 [N190,000]roughly in line with average Uruguayan income 0f £485 or $775 [N150,000] a month. He was reported to have said that ‘I may appear to be an eccentric old man…. But this is a free choice’ ‘I’m called the poorest president, but I don’t feel poor. Poor people are those who only work to try to keep an expensive lifestyle and always want more and more’. He shunned the luxury of their capital city Montedeus and lives in his wife's farm house. At 77 yrs. he knows Unclad he came to the world and Unclad he will leave. He is only having a Jalopy 1987 VW beetle.

Unlike our legislators who even earn more than President Obama who earns about $400,000 annually and our legislators received around $1.4m annually, with retinue of functionless aids attached to the presidency, governors and council chairmen.

The high point of this absurdity is the craze and involvement of some men of God in this game of vanity displaying. Some of these ministers have penchant for materialism and not evangelism as they may claim. If they have idle fund and excess disposable income to afford them the luxury of private jets why are they charging life sapping tuitions at their private universities, why can't they show the love of Christ to the public?. This week being World Kindness Week, they should have shown kindness by reducing their cut-throat fees and overburden expenses they shameless placed on the shoulder of the parents of their students and tell the world that Christ is merciful.

I guess, it is because of their highfalutin tuitions that the federal government is callously considering of increasing the federal universities tuition to about #450,000 or #500,000 through Steve Oransoye committee's report submitted recently as being reported in same media .

Who are those people that gave aircraft of about $50m to Pastor Ayo Oritsajefor as a birthday and 40years anniversary gift?. At this material time and he was in his best element to celebrate the insensitivity when many Christians had been and still being killed by Book Haram through terrorism and religion pogrom, daily subjected to endless surrealistic existence. I would have expected that he convert the money to his poverty alleviation scheme, gives as loans to empower the poor or spend that N2b to upgrade his clinic to a specialist hospital which will give a direct service to humanity, and give him a moral voice against bad governance and official profligacy. It will give him the grace of telling the gospel truth to the authorities on the parlous state of our roads, since he's having the ears of the presidency as CAN President. It is derisible that Nigeria was ranked number fourteen in the Failed States Index in 2011, majorly because of bad governance.

"A failed state is one that is unable to perform its duties on several levels when violence cascades into an all-out internal war, when standard of living massively deteriorate, when the infrastructure of ordinary life decays and when the greed of rulers overwhelms their responsibilities to better their people and their surrounding". There Was A Country by Chinua Achebe, page 250
