1) And it came to pass after these things, on the first day of the first month of the twelfth year after the second millennium, that king Jona son of Bele announced to the people saying; there is no money left in the royal treasury, and the future of the kingdom is in great danger.

2) Therefore, a measure of oil shall no longer sell for three scores of silver and seven, but shall now be seven scores of silver and one. But the people grumbled aloud, and said unto another, what shall it profit our king to gain all these oil money and lose his throne?

3) For it is appointed unto him to reign but once, and after this prison, for many are the atrocities which he has committed.

4) So they said unto the king, eat thou thy food in peace in the palace, and surround thou thyself with thine women, only touch not our oil price and do thy people no harm.

5) But the king would not listen, and said unto himself, I know my people, they shall only grumble for a while and soon they shall forget.

6) But the people would not forget, for the burden was too much for them to bear, and they said; now unto him that is able to increase the price of oil exceeding abundantly above all that his people can bear or think, according to the greed which worketh in him;

7) Unto him be curses in the streets by the masses throughout all ages, protests without end.

So they took to the streets and gave the land no peace, and there was no going out or coming in throughout the kingdom for two weeks, and the king feared greatly and said to himself, surely these people shall overturn me if I answer them not.

9) So he called the head of the labourers unto the palace, and gave him bags of gold, that they might turn off the wrath of the people against the king.

10) So the king assembled the people and said unto them; a measure of oil shall no longer be seven scores of silver and one, but shall now be four scores of silver, one dozen and one, to this your leaders have agreed. Praise me now therefore for I am a benevolent king.

11) And after all these, the Loudspeaker of the House of People said, let us inquire into the king’s claim that there be no money in the royal treasury. So they appointed Farcrook, son of Lawal.

12) And said unto him, gather ye now all the oil sellers, that we may know who stole from the kingdom. This did him with diligence, and came back with his report saying

13) Thieves abound in the land, and so have the oil sellers stole from the people, and gave them not oil, this they did with the help of Aliyaro the king’s mistress; and the amount he mentioned was unheard of in the land.

14) When the people heard this, they were dismayed, and sorrow gripped their hearts.

15) But the oil sellers went in unto the king in his chamber, and said; rememberest thou O king that the what we stole did we made available to thy campaign, and by thus did we make you king.

16) If thou deliver us unto the people that they may punish us, we will hold not our tongue to tell the people that thou art one of us.

17) And they said unto him, how else shall we destroy the message if not to destroy the messenger? Let us therefore implicate Farcrook the son of Lawal in this matter.

18) So they sent a certain rich man from the West by the name Otedollar, and he took Farcrook into his house and gave him some money, that he may alter the report which he had set before the people.

19) And it was that Otedollar went before an assembly of the people and said unto them, trust ye this man who said we stole from the treasury? Surely he is one of us, for he came unto me in the middle of the night, and he left with his pockets full of money.

20) And the people where amazed, and their hearts bled, for Farcrook was a man in whom they had to their trust.

21) So Farcrook arose, and said; Otedollar is my briber, I did not request. He maketh me to sit down in his Maitama house; he leadeth me beside the chilled champagne.

22) He exploited me greed; he leadeth me in the paths of marked dollars for subsidy’s sake.

23) Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of EFCC, I will fear no arrest: for bribes are with me; my loots and my kickbacks they comfort me.

24) Thou preparest the dollars before me, in the presence of the SSS: thou anointest my mouth with wine; my pocket runneth over.

25) Surely the shame and reproach shall follow me all the days of my life, but I will dwell in the house of PDP forever and ever.

26) And the people wept, but there was no one to console them.

Dway1: When will the nigerian citizen understand nigeria politics?otedola (kinse eni arinfin)lawal to me must be told by some key people in the cabal to collect the money in other to nail otedola Ãήϑ some other key people again went to otedola about the plan...farouk is the only saith amoung them all...this man has step on several toes...the case of buhari,etteh Ãήϑ so on like dat... Ãήϑ if you don't 4get etteh is obasanjo wife...so what do we expect?otedola,jimoh ibrahim, Ãήϑ dangote can never enter any police custody in nigeria cos the are the one spendin all the money they spent in PDP...

Iliveon: Nigeria politics is more like the more you look the less you see. For some of us who don't understand the underground dealings, we would always rush to defend these policians who perharps care less about us. My understanding of the intrigues unfolding is this; the presidency sees the subsidy probe as a tool against her and her co-travellers.unfortunately,Farook is a crook who thought he is smart buh stupid played himself into their hands.Discredit the messenger discredit the message was the watch-word. The question is If Farook collected money to exonerate FO's companies from the list and he did just that would it then be proper to say that what the legistlooters was right to re-enlist FO companies and recommended same for investigation at the same time suspended the bribe takers? I think they have acted well and in good faith.Let those that are afraid of the probe report go to court of law to challenge it rather than using frame-up,intimidation and blackmail to discredit the report. N:B. Beaf and co who would not respond to post without insult should please try to stop because a lot of young people visit this site.

Beaf:

Your post was my first ever use of the "like" button.

During the fuel subsidy crisis, some of us screamed ourselves wretched that the people were falling for the biggest con; they decided to fight the oil cabals battles to enslave them with amazing vigour!
Suddenly, GEJ, Deziani Madueke and Okonjo Iweala became public enemy number one for campaigning for the removal of the subsidy, because it was corrupt. In fact, the people did an acrobatic, logic defying 360 and decided that those who were calling for an end to the corrupt subsidy system were the guilty ones. Wonders!

The Farouk Lawan picture is even worse than you have painted, because he was using the probe as a 2015 weapon against GEJ. That is why Otedola who imports only diesel which is not subsidised was blackmailed by Farouk. Nobody batted an eyelid when Rilwan Lukman, Nigeria's serial oil minister (and under whom the vast proportion of subsidy crime occurred) was not even as much as mentioned by Farouk and his impish gang.
It was about destroying innocent people, while entrenching the interests of the oil cabal. 85% of indigenious oil blocks are owned by a few core-Northern elite.

These oil wells were illegally given out by IBB, Abacha (with Buhari's connivance) and Adulsalam; the licenses are due to run out between 2016 and 2018 and they fear that the only way they can retain hold is by shifting power back to the "North." That is why politics has taken the shape of no holds barred warfare, with stuff like boko haram fully deployed to make the country ungovernable. There are less than 100 men in that clique, yet they make more money annually from oil than the entire Niger Delta.

The Nigerian populace just likes life easy, so they never bother to look below the surface. They love rumours, so are easy to deceive.
If this was a less serious matter, I would have opened several "I told you so!" threads by now, but lets just sit and wait with grim patience as truth after truth unfolds.

Beaf:

If not that your position is based on bias (which is why you are expecting to be insulted), you would have long since realised that Tambuwal, Farouk etc are the proverbial wolf in sheeps clothing, fighting to suck both your blood and the blood of your kids.
Many of you have no understanding about how things work in Nigeria, it is golden wisdom to learn it. I made the post below elsewhere, please read it, it will answer some of your questions:

naijaking1: Tambuwal, tambuwal, Tambuwal. How many times did I call your name?
Anytime your comimittee heads begin to investigate, they end up being investigated themselves. Remember Hede for SEC, now Lawan, something is defintely wrong with the way you and your deputy do your job.
