Except GEJ for the first time fully prosecute and deal decisively with these northern rioters, the situation will not change. Never have we seen these murderers jailed; thats why Jos is constantly under attack, now Kaduna and other areas have joined. GEJ must make sure the perpetrators and their sponsors are punished and publicly too. The judicial commission of enquiry must be made public and its outcome not thrown under the carpet as is usually the case when it involves Northern rogues. If this is not done, Nigerians will start loosing confidence in GEJ |

The NYSC thing should be reviewed in the light of prevailing circumstances as witnessed over the years. The human cost of the southerners has been so high. They present easy targets to the northern zealots and illiterates as they represent everything [b]SOUTHERN [/b]and [b]EDUCATED [/b]which is what they detest most. |

Enough is enough. I dream of a Nigerian that is devoid of incessant crisis in the north. I know this dream will come to pass in this administration. |

Don't allow the hatred you have for GEJ to becloud your sense of reasoning, as some here were saying that the killings going on in the north should be expected becouse he rigged election. Let's assume he actually rigged the election, eventhough i know he warned people not to rig for him, would that be enough reason for senseless almajiris to take laws in their hands and start unleaching terror on innocent people that are not even related to GEJ. This has really gone to show that our so called brothers upnorth(some though) are way behind sense of reasoning, all they are interested in is to kill non housas/muslims for no obvious reasons. Atimes i'm moved to think that this almajiris has brain like that of the animals they rear in their dormain. We should stop defending wrong things and always say the truth this will go along way to help sensitise the people that are perpetrating evils in this country. |

all talks and action make joe a talkertive. 1st oct 2010 after the bomb blast, joe told us that enough was enough and made a genuine promise to bring those behind the bomb to book. six months later, enough is still enough. who knows when this enough will stop been enough? maybe when all of us have gone down. the truth about the matter is that pdp has no plans for us as long as they are busy with our oil money looting, enough will continue to be enough. |

@cyril. It is not an assumption, PDP rigged strategically to avoid detection, we can stop defending wrong things by also letting our No to Rigging be as loud as our no to Violence, else we are hypocrites. Mind you, This situation is purely political! The Nigerian Youth Corper (regardless of religion)has of recent times become an endangered specie! Muslims were also killed and mosques burnt in the Kafanchan violence! Even in sabon tasha kaduna mosques were totally destroyed. These were also done by same almajiris. |

[[size=11pt]b]Nigerian presidential elections: The devil is in the ballot collating .[/b][size=14pt][/size][/size]Thursday, 21 April 2011 00:00 John Campbell [b][/b][size=13pt][/size]. Share International election observers have been enthusiastic about Nigeria’s 2011 presidential elections, seeing them as a dramatic improvement over those of 2007, admittedly a low bar. Electorally, the country split in two, with the North, predominately Muslim, voting for Muhammadu Buhari and the South for the winner, incumbent president Goodluck Jonathan. (In addition, there were numerous other candidates who altogether won only a small percentage of the vote). Buhari and other Northern spokesmen have denounced the elections as having been rigged and have called for them to be annulled. Meanwhile, murderous rioting has broken out across the northern part of the country, a sign of the major breakdown in civic order. What happened? There appears to have been substantial election rigging, not so much at the polling stations where international observers were often present but at the collation centres where monitors were usually absent. A distinguished Nigerian civil organization, The Civil Society Election Situation Room, notes that in twelve states – one third of the total –ostensible voter turnout was suspiciously high. The national voter turnout average was 53 percent. In the twelve identified states, the turnout ranged from 62 percent to 84 percent. The Situation Room cites allegations that the figures were “doctored” and declares that the collation process constituted “the weakest link in the election management process.” Project Swift Count, another civil organization involved with election oversight, did station observers at some collation sites, but apparently a number of its personnel were arrested or otherwise intimidated. The Situation Room faults the Electoral Commission for having been “ineffective in its oversight function as far as monitoring and controlling the collation process was concerned.” [b]In Nigeria, governors often play a prominent role in election rigging. Of the twelve states with dubious turnout figures cited by the Election Situation Room, eleven had governors from the ruling party who supported Jonathan; none had governors from the opposition who supported Buhari. Of the twelve states that Buhari won, all in the North, Jonathan accumulated more than twenty-five percent of the votes in eight of them. Of those eight, all are represented by governors of the ruling party, the PDP. Most of the rigging appears to have benefited Jonathan, and the Electoral Commission has certified that he won twice as many votes as Buhari and easily a majority of the ballots cast. Why rig in states that Jonathan was almost certain to win anyway? The Nigerian constitution requires a successful presidential candidate to win an absolute majority of the votes cast and at least 25 percent of the vote in two thirds of the states. Otherwise, there is a runoff between the two candidates who had the most votes. So, Jonathan needed overwhelming majorities in his base states to ensure that he won an absolute majority of the ballots cast nationwide. And, to avoid a runoff, he also needed sufficient support in the North to meet the vote distribution requirement. So, even if the polling was credible, the ballot counting was not. With the country split in half on regional and religious lines, and with many of the losers convinced the elections were stolen, the result has enraged the North against the ruling party, (including northern elites who are associated with the ruling party such as the Sultan of Sokoto and the Emir of Kano) and also against Christians in many places. The issue is not whether Jonathan would have won the elections “anyway,” it is rather the sentiment among Northerners that the PDP yet again stole the elections. The immediate concern is that Northern violence against the ruling party and its perceived Christian supporters will result in an anti-Muslim backlash in the states that supported Jonathan. The longer term concern is the alienation of the North from the Federal Republic, a process already underway.[/b] Campbell is the British High Commissioner in Nigeria.

It's Political indeed . . .so killing non natives and attacking anything associated with them with the mindset that they supported the opposition party is morally okay . .now i see why the almajiri situation is rife . .nairaland is proving that while we reckon with the illiterate almajiri, we have a fair share of educated almajiris who feel and support the motion that unwarranted violence is the way to get the upper hand . .while the rest of the country are allowing sanity to prevail on them in the face of provocation . . . .the rioting animals should be put down lest they bite more than they can chew . . |

This is why i will never serve in the North. Everything about them is negative. There's this Igbo guy who was serving there,and he was killed. He woulda begged for his life,anyone would've,and they still killed him. How can a human being pick up a knife and butcher his fellow human being to pieces? How? What spirit of savagery and bestiality possesses those people? I Will NEVER serve in the North,IJN. My life is too important to me. GEJ's words are all well and good but they do not and cannot bring back the lives that have been lost. It's too little too late. Everybody knew that PDP was gonna win,and we also know that if Pdp won,there would be reprisals in the North. if GEJ was really serious about saving lives,wouldn't he have made prior arrangements? Deployed military/Police forces to the North to protect Corpers or something? All these things shoulda been done earlier. Anyway it's not too late,buh i hope GEJ's words translate to action. And Every Hausa person who has murdered another innocent human being will NEVER have peace in his/her life,IJN. Amen. |

i dont know, but it seems to me gej is somehow stuck in the civil war era, going by utterances such as these: Nigeria unrest 'recalls lead-up to 1967 Biafra war' i mean, helloo, for the past few years we've had bombings, boko haram, jos, kidnappings, this, that, yet it's only this one that reminds him of the civil war? i'm not saying he's wrong, but he needs to admit the fact that nigeria has serious security problems first and foremost. |

[size=18pt]Medicine after death cannot raise the dead. The government was duly informed and warned of the dangerous states by the SSS, but President Goodluck Jonathan failed to address the emergency and spent billions of naira on his presidential campaign than the amount of money spent on security for INEC staff and other citizens who have lost lives and properties in the post election catastrophe. The FRESH AIR IS NOW POLLUTED BY THE STENCH OF DECOMPOSING CORPSES OF INNOCENT NYSC MEMBERS AND SCORES OF OTHERS MURDERED BY ETHNIC AND RELIGIOUS FANATICS ARMED WITH ONLY CUDGELS, STICKS, STONES, BLADES, DAGGERS AND OTHER WEAPONS THAT CANNOT STAND THE FIREPOWER OF THE NIGERIAN POLICE FORCE OR ARMY IF THE DULY SWORN IN PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA AND COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA DID THE RIGHT THING. INSTEAD OF DOING HIS DUTY, HE TOLD HIS MINISTER OF DEFENCE AND OTHERS TO GO AND CAMPAIGN FOR HIM AND THEY ALL LEFT THEIR PRIMARY DUTY AND RESPONSIBILITY TO GO AND CANVASS FOR VOTES. THE INNOCENT NYSC MEMBERS AND OTHERS HAVE BEEN MURDERED. THEY HAVE USED THEM FOR HUMAN SACRIFICE TO WIN THEIR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION BY FORCE. ANYONE BLAMING GEN. MUHAMMADU BUHARI (RETD) IS A FOOL. BUHARI DID NOT SEND THOSE MURDERERS ON RAMPAGE TO MURDER INNOCENT CITIZENS. I WAS IN LAGOS WHEN POLITICAL VIOLENCE BROKE OUT RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY OFFICE AS POLITICAL THUGS USED GUNS, MACHETES AND OTHER WEAPONS IN BATTLE, BUT THE ANTI RIOT POLICE IN ARMOURED VEHICLES ATTACKED THEM AND STOPPED THEM. IF THE ARMY AND POLICE ALREADY ASSIGNED IN THOSE STATES CAME OUT TO STOP THE MURDERERS, NO INNOCENT LIFE WOULD HAVE BEEN LOST AND NO VEHICLE, HOUSE OR CHURCH WOULD HAVE BEEN BURNT. WHERE WERE THE POLICE AND ARMY WHEN THOSE MAD BOYS WENT ON RAMPAGE? I worked for the Alhaji Bamanga Turkur Presidential Campaign in 1990 and I once carried a rifle for his Director of Publicity for use in self defence. I have gone to the Niger Delta to address the militancy and spoke to Asari Dokubo to bury the hatchet and he agreed, but before I knew it, the Federal Government arrested him for just openly expressing his political belief and detained him without trial and that was what provoked the emergence of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) and I simply left the government to face their Frankenstein monster. THE FACT IS WE HAVE AN INCOMPETENT GOVERNMENT THAT FAILED WOEFULLY TO PROVIDE SECURITY, BECAUSE OF CORRUPTION. The government keeps on telling lies upon lies to hoodwink the ignorant masses. They boast that they have provided regular supply of fuel, but there is scarcity of kerosene, the fuel of the masses. There is no regular supply of petrol in remote places in Northern Nigeria, the most underdeveloped region in Nigeria. The majority of voters are in the rural areas and kerosene means more to them than petrol. Regular water supply means more to them than petrol. ANY DUMMY GOVERNMENT CAN PROVIDE REGULAR SUPPLY OF PETROL. WHERE IS THE PETROL COMING FROM? FROM OUR REFINERIES OR IMPORTED WITH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES? IS IT NOT CORRUPTION THAT HAS MADE THE GOVERNMENT TO TURN TO AN IMPORTER OF FUEL? ASK THE OIL MARKETERS WHY WE NOW HAVE REGULAR SUPPLY OF PETROL. The Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI) has INDICTED THE NNPC OF CORRUPTION.[/size] [size=18pt] MANY MEMBERS OF NAIRALAND DISPLAY APPALLING IGNORANCE THAT YOU CANNOT SEE ON ANY FORUM IN CIVILIZED NATIONS. I AM A WELL KNOWN MEMBER OF THE HUFFINGTON POST AND PARTICIPATED IN THE ONLINE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS AND OUR DISCUSSIONS WERE BASED ON INTELLIGENT ANALYSES OF THE REALITIES IN THE US AND NOT ON HEARSAY BY PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER BEEN ON FIELD TRIPS TO RURAL AREAS AND WHO DO NOT EVEN READ, BUT ONLY SHUTTLING ON THE STREETS OF THEIR URBAN COMFORT ZONES OF GHETTOS POSTING FROM THEIR PCs OR SMARTPHONES AND MADE THEMSELVES ARMCHAIR PUNDITS AND THEY ARE AMONG THE MOST STUPID SUPPORTERS OF THE CORRUPT AND INCOMPETENT GOVERNMENT OF PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN AND HIS CORRUPT RULING PARTY PDP THAT WAS SEEN RIGGING ON VIDEO POSTED ON YOUTUBE FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO SEE AND MILLIONS OF NORTHERNERS WHO ARE POLITICALLY MORE INFORMED HOOKED ON FREE CABLE TV AND BBC NEWS IN HAUSA WERE PROVOKED.

[size=18pt]Nigeria: Neiti Report Indicts NNPC, CBN, NDDC Lagos — THE quest for good corporate governance in Nigeria suffered a set back, yesterday, as the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, NEITI, released its Report on 2005 Audits of the extractive industries in the country which indicted the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, and the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC. The CBN is spear-heading corporate governance, while the NDDC was blamed over its handling of revenue from oil companies and loyalties paid to the nation's treasury. NEITI also disclosed that the volume of the nation's oil production was still largely unknown. http://allafrica.com/stories/printable/201004010389.html[/size] According to Economic Confidential, an online magazine, the report states that "CBN did not record some Petroleum Profit Tax, PPT, payments by oil companies, amounting to $241 million net difference while there are discrepancies in the revenues that oil companies paid to the NDDC and the one declared by the commission itself." The report said "The Executive Secretary of NEITI, Haruna Yunusa Sa'eed, explained that his agency was still facilitating remediation efforts aimed at getting to the root of the outstanding N654 billion unremitted revenue by Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC. Under-calculation of royalties "In the case of NNPC, there are issues regarding withholding revenue/payments for lifting being a buyer of Nigeria's crude oil. They were expected to pay fully for what they lifted. That payment was short and at the last count, it was N654 billion based on the 2005 audit. There was also the issue of accounting systems, funds not well accounted for. "We have talked about $243 million in the areas of under-calculations in terms of royalties; about $340 billion in terms of petroleum profit tax underpayment based on the use of wrong price to determine such liabilities. There are equally issues that we are working with both FIRS and DPR to determine the net amounts payable by these companies. Although we are yet to recover anything from NNPC in terms of money, considering the claim by NNPC that part of the money was deployed as subsidy for petroleum products, but efforts are still on to make such recovery almost seamless." On NDDC, Mr. Sa'eed said the Commission declared that it received $135 million and N8.4 billion from oil companies in 2005, yet this was $14 million (N195 million) higher than $120 million (N8.16 billion), which the companies claimed to have paid. Higher receipts by the CBN The report also revealed that the CBN recorded higher receipts than the ones made by Nigeria Agip Oil Company, NAOC, Phillips and Continental while it did not report the Additional Bonus reserves by the NAOC. Also the PPT payment for the year by five oil companies namely, Brass Exploration, Pan Ocean, Phillips, Conoil and Continental could not be located on CBN template. The report added: "The CBN recorded higher receipts than the ones made by Amni, Elf, and NAOC, while it recorded higher net receipts than the ones made by Conoil, Moni Pulo, Panocean, Shell Petroleum Development Company, SPDC, Philips and Elf." The Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, NEITI, is mandated by law to promote transparency and accountability in the management of Nigeria's oil, gas and mining revenues. A major component of the on-going anti-corruption reform in the country, NEITI is the national version of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, EITI, which is a global movement aimed at ensuring that extractive resources aid sustainable development. |

The following is a letter on the book I am publishing on the corruption going on in the petroleum industry. [size=18pt]Subject: Book on the saga of the controversial allegations of $10.8 Billion Tax Evasion and Fraud By Chevron Nigeria Limited, from 2005 to 2011. Dear All, I have decided to publish the book on the controversial allegations of $10.8 Billion Tax Evasion and Fraud By Chevron Nigeria Limited after nearly six years of comprehensive investigation and interaction with the principal complainant and petitioner Mr. Fidelis Uzonwanne, the Managing Director of ABZ Integrated Limited, an Abuja based company that provided a letter of engagement as tax consultants to Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). I have been following this case since I reported the $10.8 Billion tax evasion and fraud allegation against Chevron on Monday, August 01, 2005 and also posted the refutation by Chevron in their rejoinder on Wednesday, August 03, 2005. And I have addressed it locally and internationally, from the Inland Revenue Service Board (FIRS) of Nigeria to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of the US and other government agencies. Mr. Fidelis Uzonwanne has sent me over 200 pages of documents tendered as exhibits alleging the following: •Non payment of monthly Petroleum Profit Tax installments. Chevron Oil Nigeria Limited was expected to make 104 installments for eight years to year 2002. The company failed to make 42 installments, while its partner, TOPCON, failed to pay 24 installments. This denied the nation of several millions of dollars. •Some payments claimed to have been made by the companies were not traceable to the Federal Reserve Bank account for the domiciliation of PPT revenue. •Use of illegal revisions of their PPT estimates to manipulate their tax liabilities. These were revisions made beyond the statutorily permitted accounting year of December 31 of each year. •Manipulation of revenue from royalties for which DPR is responsible for determination of liabilities but ironically does not issue receipt to the oil companies for payment; instead, the office of the Accountant-General of the Federation usurped the responsibilities even though it is not a government revenue generating agency. •Conspiracy between revenue officers and Chevron which led to replacement of Assessment Notice for a higher amount of $21,838,977 with that of $12,005,455. The difference of $9,833,492 denied the federation has been established to be a fraud actualized by duplicating an expense on licenses and miscellaneous taxes in 1996. •There were cases where FIRS credited Chevron with payments which it never made. An example was the $22,400,000 vides Treasury receipt No. PP036337 of August 14, 1997. This suggests fund diversion. The tax consultants also said in their report that in 2002, Chevron claimed to have spent $25.5 million on community development while in actual fact only $249,000 was spent." THE IRREFUTABLE FACTS: • The Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI) under Dr. (Mrs.) Obiageli Ezekwesili acknowledged the engagement of ABZ Integrated Limited by the Economic and Finacial Crimes Commission (EFCC) under the former Executive Chairmanship of Mallam Nuhu Ribadu as a consultant for the recovery of the unpaid taxes from Chevron Nigeria Limited. • In the last quarter of 2005, the House Committee on Petroleum Resources (Upstream), under the chairmanship of Dr. Cairo Ojougboh, had a public hearing on the allegation of $10.8 billion tax evasion and fraud against Chevron Nigeria Limited. And in September 2006, the Chairman vindicated ABZ and confirmed that Chevron evaded tax as alleged and was ordered to refund the sum of $492 million. NEITI’s auditors also validated the claims of ABZ. But Chevron has only refunded a fraction of the total Petroleum Profit Tax (PPT) evaded, without paying the penalties required by PPT Act. And ABZ has not been paid its entitlements since Chevron has refunded the sum of $866 million of the Petroleum Profit Tax (PPT) evaded so far. • The $10.8 billion tax evasion was an exaggeration by Mr. Fidelis Uzonwanne, the Managing Director of ABZ Integrated Limited. • I have addressed this case with all the key bodies involved in Nigeria, such as the Executive Chairman, Inland Revenue Service Board (FIRS), Dr. (Mrs.) Ifueko Omoigui-Okaro who has been unfairly harassed by Mr. Fidelis Uzonwanne, the Managing Director of ABZ Integrated Limited and she has sued him and his accomplices for libel of which Mr. Fidelis Uzonwanne, the Managing Director of ABZ Integrated Limited sent me the legal documents of the case and will also be included in the book. In conclusion, I have discovered that some of the allegations were erroneous and ambiguous. Moreover, I can vouch for the integrity of Mr. Fidelis Uzonwanne, the Managing Director of ABZ Integrated Limited and also cannot trust the integrity of the officials of the EFCC, FIRS and Chevron Nigeria Limited, because all of them erred in various ways and failed to address a simple matter that would have been resolved amicably without unnecessary procrastination and litigation. The book is relevant and significant for the records of the so called $10.8 Billion tax evasion and fraud allegation against Chevron, with all the links to the references of the case in the print and electronic media on the internet. The book will be available in hardcover only and will be released soon. The resolution will not delay it. E-mail me whatever input you wish to be included in the book. I am giving EFCC, FIRS and Chevron Nigeria Limited the opportunity to state their roles in the billion dollar tax evasion saga. The facts would be addressed without bias in the book. A copy of the book will be sold for $25 only by the publisher and distributor Amazon Inc. Please, let me know if you have any objection to this very important publication before we go to press.

Except GEJ for the first time fully prosecute and deal decisively with these northern rioters, the situation will not change. Never have we seen these murderers jailed; thats why Jos is constantly under attack, now Kaduna and other areas have joined. @guyman02, where were u on after 1st oct 2010 bomb blasts in abuja? your jonathan promised to bring those behind the killings to book. he at a point told us that Chief Raymond Dokpesi was behind the bombings and that he will face the law. Dokpesi was then the campeign manager of IBB but along the line, Chief Raymond Dokpesi joined the GEJ campiegn team and since then, nobody has called him a bomber again. my prayer is that God of heaven visit those who are behind all these killings and pay them back with their own coins. if pdp had agreement of zoning, why not hold on to that and avoid the deaths of innocent citizens? God, please for those behind these killings, let them not know peace and let the deaths of these innocent nigerians be better than theirs in the mighty name of Jesus Christ - Amen. |
