no he only decive you, why cant he be minister of agriculture

BabaO2:

The most effective petroleum corporation is under the presidency/ prime minister as the case may be. Nigerians claim to know too much and talk too much on nothing. Even during OBJ, did we have crazy, barbaric and gluttonous stealing and corruption recorded by Jonathan/Deziani administration?. OBJ started this anti-corruption war, but lots of sponsored campaigns here and there messed the whole thing up (remember he picked up IBB son, Adenuga etc.on corruption and shady deals..). Buhari insular to whatever anybody says which is good for Nigeria unlike OBJ.

How much was a barrel of oil in 1977, and what was our daily production then? A barrel of oil then was equivalent to the exchange rate of naira to dollar now. I knw u wont understand what i mean cause u r of the buhari stock, f9 in economics and maths.

What was our annual budget in '77?
The annual budget was n cant be used in determining why our monies should be stolen with impunity and recklessness.
Also the budget was enough to carter for the population density as at that period.
Was there a panel set up during Shagari's tenure to pursue this allegation, what was the report?
why do you think buhari overthrew a working democracy with that phantom coup? Why did buhari not jail shehu shagari after tagging his admistration utterly corrupt but rushed to jail a vice president who in nigerian constitution is just a mere assistant to the president and doesnt have the powers to allocate contracts and preside over sensitive issues bordering governance.
Why didn't IBB, or GEJ use this against PMB? When buhari had already concluded his cosmetic probe. Why gej? Are you aware there was obasanjo and yaradua before gej? Why do you guys like skipping these names?

If you can answer those ^^ 'logically', then we will proceed lets proceed..

oh God save our oil well for us in Akwa ibom from the hands of this criminals,we are not even known as a state that has hundredths of oil wells both onshore/offshore because we are the most backward state in the entire s/south & s/east, inspite of our hundredths of oil wells we cease to have a refinery or even produce a petroleum minister ''what a nation'' nigerian govt. Should give us (Akwa ibom) refinery and stop pretendeding as if they have increased our budgets, only atiku abubakar who has hundredths of oil wells can single handedly feed the whole of Akwa ibom in a month ,show me one rich man in Akwa ibom u can compare with only Atiku abubakar,ty danjuma, etc etc etc, like I said Akwa ibom have been marginalized for long, with the small budget it will take time b4 we can meet up with other states like Abia, Imo let alone Rivers,northern political elements should be careful with the way they treat Akwa ibom just because we are minorities ,only but one day...''in other news...''invest in Akwa ibom''

If u hav evidences of missing $2.8billn bring it forward,ppl still steal,kill,rob even when God is d Ruler of d universe.

Is it not a wonder that an "illiterate" is President over Professors & learned Fellows?

The battle is not to the strong...

Don't forget God uses illiterate men to confound the wisdom of the wise.

If it will take an "illiterate" President to get Nigeria to work, so be it.

agabaI23:
Haha. Your body odour will do the job. Kai! Back to the days of OBJ. Who is deceiving who?

agabaI23:
And who probed NNPC during OBJ? Who looked at the account under him?

The Madueke stuff is still propaganda until you arrest her and convict her. The local content law and PIB your Buhari is trying to kill was her work.

Nigerians do not know what they need. A president cannot function effectively as the petroleum minister. It is an avenue for corruption. Who will he be reporting to? Himself? No one to check his activities....abeg

because there is no any trusted leader in nigeria to andle it weller

This is Nigeria's most sensitive and corrupt institution... PMB carry go...This will even give NNPC MD Kachikwu more free hand to operate...he won't be ball boy to any corrupt minister thereby hampering his policies.

Let's hope this is a good decision.

free2ryhme:


What exactly does ministers do? GEJ had 42 wasteful Ministers and 26 extravagant SAs that were only making noises on TV and newspapers. The result being a wasted $480Bn revenue, $63Bn debt and a sordid tale of monumental corruption. Those who don't learn from mistakes are bound to repeat them.

You just muddled that up . . . makes it hard to break it down to you like I would have loved to.

Well:
1. You come at me with your first point, without realizing price of oil per barrel has nothing to do with the exchange rate in this context -- oil has always been sold in $, and the said 2.8 is in dollars too -- your point again?

2. I asked about annual production and budget -- you went perambulating -- that was supposed to help us get some perspective.

3. I asked result of the panel -- you went glossing.
#noanswer.

I mentioned IBB and GEJ, and puposely skipped Abacha, Abdusalam, and OBJ because, we could argue the former are his 'enemies (so to speak)', while the latter are his allies (so to speak).
So why didn't the former use that against him?


Could it be because, stealing $2.8b in one account when oil sold for less than $9/barrel, production at roughly a million barrels/day ( and you still have to minus our local use and JVs), while annual budget was roughly $1.2b would be baloney?

Have you looked into why the panel found PMB not guilty of the 2.8 allegation?

So much for beer parlour gists.

Garki82:
That is good.
Now we buy petrol @87 what of if Buhari becomes the minister for petroleum?
GO AHEAD BABA.
YOUR ENEMIES WOULD DIE SOON!

Which petroleum?

Petroleum Jelly of course!

Well I'm not so surprised. The President said this sometimes ago. He said he will champion the cause and wage war against corruption and also tackle the roots and see how deep corruption has eaten into the oil sector. A surface purge would definitely not be enough to flatten the high rate of corruption in the sector, if it can't totally kill it.

Regardless, I expect two things after the wailers have booted from their slow OS;

1. Message themselves and have their chief who does not understand Facebook's modus operandi to prepare a "God bless Nigeria" kind of article, explaining why the President is interested in adding the salary of the Petroleum Minister to his slashed Presidential salary

2. Have the wailers wail endlessly after they may have woken up from their cryo-sleep

I kuku came here with my sound meter to pmeasure decibel level before. Oya, waaaaaaail!

cr7lomo:
Nigerians can be very stupid and gullible, look at the way f.oolish people on this forum are praising him , am beginning to believe that people are being paid to post or are outright stupid.... Any president that decides to head the ministry of petroleum is definitely corrupt, bk to the days of obj .... How can an illiterate president head that sensitive ministry, what does he know , I don't wanna see people spree rubbish that he did it under obasanjo and he established nnpc , that is crap , he established corrupt nnpc ... So no technocrat or qualified citizen can take charge , his deceiving himself.... He wants to hide his dealings with the north in that ministry ... When will Nigerians learn ... Gash
