Abeg, do something about Nairaland. It seems hackers are trying to hack our accounts. Sometimes if u click on a link it will redirect u to another site entirely.

Believe any news coming from Naij.com at ur own peril.

Good 4 him.

Naij.com is the worst news website I have encountered in my life. They are bias, liars, divisive and a threat to the existence of United Nigeria (imagine the millions of Nigeria they lead astray with their fake news.

Owing the the current rise in demand for "Aba-made" shoes, the Governor of Abia state, Chief Okezie Ikpeazu, has empowered Shoe Makers in the State to improve on production.

A case in point is the demand by the Nigerian Army for 50,000 Boots for soldiers all over the country.

U know what happens after they export it?
The buyers repackage it, put some fake stickers of a re-known company on it and sell it back to us at higher price... Nigeria's love for foreign materials can make one look like an idiot.

Ovie Okpare, Warri

Nigeria’s crude oil export has suffered a major setback as the reopened 48-inch offshore Forcados crude export line operated by Shell Petroleum Development Company in Burutu Local Government Area of Delta State has been blown up again by suspected militants.

The incident, which our correspondent gathered occurred last week Wednesday, has led to a massive crude oil spill in the sea and creeks around communities of Ogulagha Kingdom, which hosts to the Forcados terminal.

Although no group has claimed responsibility for the attack, security sources told our correspondent on Tuesday that militants in the Niger Delta region were behind the destruction of the line.

Security and community sources, who confirmed the incident, said the attack happened in the early hours of Wednesday last week.

It was gathered that military’s trail of the militants who carried out the attack was what led to the raiding of some Gbaramatu communities in Warri South West Local Government Area of the state.

A senior military source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to the press on the matter, said Shell’s technical team deployed to curtail the spill had battled for two days on the high sea to stop further spread.

However, some community sources who spoke with our correspondent, said the breach on the line was not as a result of militants’ attack.

The sources, who claimed to have accompanied the Shell team to visit the site of the spill, said the export line ruptured due to old age, noting that it was the second section of the reopened line, which early this year was attacked by members of the Niger Delta Avengers.

“It is absurd for anyone to claim that this spill was a product of militants’ attack on the recently reopened line. As we speak, the people of Ogulagha Kingdom are swimming in crude oil. From what we gathered, the export pipeline has not been changed in the last 30 years since they opened it,” one the sources said.

The Chairman of the Ogulagha community, Mr. Solomon Prebor, who confirmed the breach, said it was not yet clear if the spill was as a result of militant attack.

Prebor said it was only through a joint investigation visit that could ascertain the true cause of the spill, which he added had massively affected the various communities situated around the sea bank.

When contacted, the Coordinator, Joint Media Campaign Centre, Operation Delta Safe, Lt.-Col. Olaolu Daudu, promised to investigate and get back with details.

A spokesperson for Shell Petroleum Development Company, Mr. Joseph Obari said, “SPDC is investigating reports of an attack on the Forcados crude export pipeline. We will communicate relevant updates as necessary.”

“We continue to monitor the security situation in our operating areas and are taking all possible steps to ensure the safety of staff and contractors.”

Any forward looking person would see that the possibility of BHT using chemical weapon is very high, especially mustard gas. God knows ISIS have been using it against other groups since..

Whose fault? Ofcourse Buhari

Why is it Buhari's fault
U are shooting yourself in the foot and blaming Buhari. There is God o

This is the handy-work of the SCAVENGERS. The THUNDER wey go fire una is still doing pressup.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation said from January 2016 till date, government lost $7bn, about N2.1tn, to the activities of militancy groups and oil pipeline vandals in the Niger Delta region.

The Group Managing Director of NNPC, Dr Maikanti Baru, said this on Friday in Abuja at the 2016 Fiscal Liquidity Assessment Committee Retreat.

Baru made a presentation on “Global Oil Prices, Militancy and Terrorism and its Impact on Government Revenue in Nigeria’’.

He said that apart from security challenges in the region, politics, judiciary, oil prices and production cost continued to impact negatively on the oil industry.



He said, “Over 7000kpd of crude oil has been lost due to vandalism this year. A bulk of the loss is from JV assets.

“This implies that 60 per cent of oil production lost is NNPC-FGN equity.

“At an estimated price of 45 dollars per barrel, the total 2016 revenue loss to the Federation Account translates to about 7 billion dollars.

“This is money that the government could have used to achieve major infrastructural milestones.

“This loss is equivalent to a new 7,000mw power plant; new 350kpd refinery; over 30 per cent of National budget; and a new 1,700 kilometre pipeline.”

To resolve this, Baru said the NNPC planned to increase security of oil and gas assets, improve its community social responsibility and the Amnesty programme.

He said the NNPC planned “to renegotiate terms of Production Sharing Contract with deep offshore operating companies because with the current agreement, only 17.7 per cent of total revenue comes to government’’.

Such much skulls...what for exactly? Seems more like a cult. Nowadays,every criminal the army arrests is a militant. The stupid military keeps deceiving the stupid country-people.

****

So, u are going to deny the fact that they are militants ba? God is watching you in 3D.
We all know that MILITANTS and JAZZ are 5 nd 6 and you their supporters have attested to that fact on the internet times without number. Or you have forgotten.
I just want you to know that those Niger Delta Militants are not the worst people on EARTH. The worst people on Earth are those set of people who sit in the comfort of their homes giving moral and psychological supports to their nefarious act.

Does the air-force support troops on battlefield? Most stories about NAF includes going on offensive then the ground troops will come in. The only time I heard about the NAF supporting the troops was when BHT tried to take over maiduguri.
This is why the Nigerian Army needs to have her own air assault arm.

Nice point u just raised. Sometimes one will read news that BHT attack over a military lasted for several hours and you begin to wonder why they didn't call in for an airstrike.
The reality is that our Airforce barely undertake any supportive role in active combat scene, perhaps, for the fear of being shot down by the terrorist 's Anti-Aircraft Gun.

Which country did u see that?

I think people need to remind Buhari and his cabinet why they were elected.

According to a viral audio clip from the BBC (Hausa Service), Mrs. Aisha Buhari is worried that the more than 15 million people who voted for her husband in 2015 would revolt against him because he has disappointed them by appointing “strangers” to positions of power, strangers who didn’t even work for his electoral triumph.

She is right about the potential revolt against her husband, but she is wrong about the reason for it. Most disillusioned Buhari supporters don’t care whether the president’s appointees are personally known to him—or whether or not they campaigned or voted for him. They are worried, instead, that many, perhaps most, of the president’s appointees are corrupt and incompetent, but are shielded from any consequences for their corruption and incompetence.

Let’s start from the president’s first major appointments: Secretary to the Government of the Federation Lawal David Babachir is so corrupt that he is now nicknamed “Cash and Carry” in government circles. He even once publicly bragged about receiving monetary gifts from the Ebonyi State governor, and has been implicated in the N270 million "grass-cutting" contract scandal for internally displaced Boko Haram victims. The Chief of Staff to the President has been accused of accepting a half-billion-naira bribe from MTN to reduce the telecom company's NCC fine from N1.04 trillion to N330 billion, among other sordid allegations of corruption against him. And the man is incompetent and lazy, to boot. It’s the same story all around members of the president's “kitchen cabinet.”

It took Buhari 6 months to appoint his ministers who have turned out to be the most questionable and underwhelming cast of characters to ever be in the Federal Executive Council. Among them is a minister of budget who doesn’t know Nigeria’s debt profile; a minister of agriculture (who, tellingly, is a former PDP chairman) who thinks the cost of rice is high because Nigerians consume too much rice; a minister of science and technology whose technological vision for the country is to start local pencil manufacturing in two years; a comically loud- and foul-mouthed minister of information who says dressing and undressing masquerades is a strategy of job creation; a minister of youth and sports who is so clueless he makes you want to cry; a backward, prehistoric minister of communication who wants to tax Nigerians for calls they make and texts they send; a minister of Niger Delta Affairs who was indicted for fraud by a government commission in the 1990s but still keeps his job even in the wake of this revelation; a minister of finance who hides her incompetence behind a Cockney accent. The list goes on.

Add that to the revelations of a series of secretive, illegal employment of the children and relatives of high-ranking political elites in this government, including Buhari’s, while millions of brilliant, hardworking but underprivileged people vegetate in misery amid a biting recession, and you know that Nigeria is wildly adrift. Neither the president nor his ministers have a clue. And they don’t care. If this trend continues, by the end of 2019, Buhari would be so unpopular that he would be chased out of Aso Rock with rocks by millions of his own erstwhile supporters. Aisha Buhari obviously doesn't want this terrible fate to befall her husband. I don't, too.

NDA should embrace dialogue. They said they are fighting for the interests of the people of Niger Delta, it is when they are alive you talk about interests. Of what importance is their efforts when the lives they are fighting for are been wasted? They should think of Niger Delta people and embrace dialogue.
