the problem is not abt the intellectuals having little sense, the problem is when intellectuals r governed by illiterates.
imagine being a professor in a school and ur vice chancellor is a carpenter.
it cant mix, there will always be crisis in policies.
I keep saying this buhari controls every sector in this country from petroleum tofinance, the ministers dont have a say, what buhari says is final.
when last did kemi adeosun address d nation?
or has d economy excel?

Jonathan's only problem was his indebtedness to many people because his government was filled with round pegs in round holes. His desire to have a second term made him turn a blind eye to many cases of corruption. He didn't want to offend anybody but ended up offending everybody.

When he went hard on Boko Haram, Northern Elders accused Ihejirika of genocide. (Remember: An attack on BH is an attack on the North)
When he went soft on Boko Haram and allowed the Northern Elders to fix their issues locally, they accused him of cluelessness and insensitivity.

Paradoxically, Nigeria is best governed by a military man like Buhari who doesn't care about making people happy, rather who just does what he feels like.


sorry did you say he offended evrybody in ur first paragraph?? point of correction, he did not offend me.

april 2015, jonathan knew his fate he was not coming back. take a look at man city, by january the management announced a new coach when the incumbent was still effectively doing well, what happened after on, no motivation, no extra push cos u already know thr is nothing to push for again.
jonathan in april was preparing his handing note, dont forget he was not expecting to lose so he put his all for a comeback. losing on 28march n knowing there is nothing he will do again to change d statistics on ground, he succumbed.
na only a fool will sacrifice his all when they people u r fighting for say we dont want u again.

deziani recommend dat s con3's refineries be sold because they are scraps. they will never work profitably. repair dem today n they will break down 2morow. na today fyi, nnpc is still running at a lost under buari's 1year reign.

drss:
d travails of deziani was because she stepped on powerful toes who feel they ar above d law. we know how dis woman was almost sleeping permanently at d national assemby at any slight smell of fuel scarcity on account of uncountable summons by legislators. apart form NOI, no oda minister faced d kind of pressure deziani went through. yet her performance in d oyel sector is unmatched by any petroluem minister in d history of nigeria.
but now dat fuel scarcity is a way of life under APC govt, buari dullard who is d minister of oyel is yet to be summon by d national assemby. d hypocrisy of dis con3 stinks to high heavens.

See this fellow comparing the fate of a nation of 180million people to a football club! This is the crazy impunity and carelessness that obtained in the past administration. By the way, all the big premier league clubs had their rough patches, yet we can see Man City is still fighting in the prestigious champion's league and rooting for a qualification for the next. This is unlike the April and May scarcities of last year which we all know was caused by mismanagement. Don't twist history please, it is very recent. The fg budgeted about 150billion for 2015 budget because there was no money. By April/May, they were already owing over 200billion for subsidy and differential. This was the cause of the scarcity, not pdp's loss.

See How the WOMAN in Diezani Alison-Madueke Was Portrayed by a Nigerian Fan!!! He says, "What two men cannot do; one woman did it, put extra"!

I have always said and hold it strongly that the Nigerian female is far far far more intelligent and stronger than their male counterparts. Look at the cut off marks for schools. Despite relegation of females in our society, the cut of mark for females is either higher or the same as that for the males in most states.
Now compare how our females win the females nations cup and compare how our men cannot even qualify.
Then we do not have male equivalents of Blessing Okagbare. All individual medals at the Olympics, I believe the women have given them to us save for a few
Then look at the world bank. I believe we have over 3 females who have risen to that enviable position. The men, despite all the push, very few are rated in that top organization.
Yes I heard Senate and all refused to consider women the equal of men. But me I remember well all my many many many female classmates who are so so so much more intelligent than I am and I have no shame at all in saying I DO NOT BELIEVE THE NIGERIAN MALE HAVE ANY ADVANTAGE OVER THE NIGERIAN FEMALE. My papa know book, my mama know book. My cousins know book. So nothing you want tell me about woman wey I never use my eye see.
Finally, Dieziani know book pass Kachikwu and Buhari put together. Check the score board or rather fuel queues. or maybe na Buhari head dey draw Kachikwu go back? Maybe Dieziani was allowed to do what she knows and bring fuel while Buhari is a BULL in a China shop (use of the cattle/bovine imagery BULL intended)
Bull in a China shop hahahahaha. Sometimes I impress myself. Bull in a China shop. I heard he is going to China on wednesday and he may go to a shop. how apt. hahahahaha
Dieziani, our most beautiful. God punish cancer.

"Feasts are made for laughter, wine makes life merry, but money is the answer for everything" - Ecc 10:19

ANYTHING can be bought with money; after splashing N2.13Trillion on petroleum importers in 2011 alone, even the devil himself couldn't have stopped fuel from being available in those locust years. The situation has changed today; there is no money to splash around and the people in authority aren't willing to splash money (even if there was).

Adminisher:


This is very STUPID
Go and ask people who know the industry. It was under Dieziani that no extra barrels were added to Nigeria's oil and gas reserves. Exploratory activities dropped and they were not even paying joint venture partners.

On the downstream side
They did not build new refineries in spite of all the oil money Nigeria was making. The woman herself knew nothing about the industry. She is an architect who worked in community relations in Shell. A lot of you are very very ignorant.

On the retail side.
The only interest this woman had was importing petrol and diesel through a few marketers and doing sharp practices. In all her interviews her main claim to fame was that there were very few petrol queues in her tenure... LOL. Few petrol queues of an imported product that we should be producing for the local market and exporting. Very big disgrace.

Simple common sense dictates that the current problem a country faces is usually the result of bad things done in the past. So why are people being cowardly in saying the truth about this bad woman?.
It is not all negative for Nigeria. Nigeria currently has more trained manpower globally than all the other third world countries except India and Iran but this is not Buhari's achievement but the result of things we did right as a people. Nigerians suffered a great deal to train their children so we are enjoying the 21 billion dollars that these people working abroad post home. In the same way your current power and fuel problems are due to the mis management of PDP ..face the fact and accept it.
The past determines the present so PDP is to blame...very simple.

scarcity of last yr was caused by so many factors, one of it is that jonathan lost n he was preparing his handing over notes for the next govt.
he lost n he saw no need pushing n sacrificing for nigerians cos thr was no time to act again.
more than 200billion but NASS approved more than 500billion for subsidy payment lastyr for buhari n there is still fuel crisis.
nigerians dont like hearing the truth.
put ur self in Jonathan's shoe, after losing reelection bid, u for still sacrifice to make the people who disown u to be happy?
just be plain n sincere.

Your facts are still misleading ,because like your people in the APC, you still prefer to blame rather than face the fscts and take responsibility.

SUBSIDY is SUBSIDY, irrespective of the amount spent.
Was there fraud in SUBSIDY payments ? Sure, there was.
That's pretty easy to investigate and punish the offenders.

But the bottom line is that we either get all our existing refineries to provide our petroleum needs, or we build more refineries, or we raise pump prices in order to remove the subsidies, or, we continue with status quo.

Now, the leadership style of Buhari, who has shown a tendency to act before consulting experts, is the cause of every current problem facing Nigeria right now, from exchange rate issues, stock market carnage , fuel scarcity, power outage issues, and economic confusion.

It has been a comedy of errors since May 29 last year.

I cant see where I was blaming anyone. Or are you just used to accusing people of blaming someone?... Stick to the topic of the thread man, the thread is simply comparing Diezani with Kachikwu and co with regards the availability of fuel.

Noo need for long epistles, did Nigeria blow up N2.1 trillion on subsidy payments in 2011 or not?.... After the public outcry and investigations in early 2012, did Nigeria's demand for fuel instantly drop by half for only ~N1trillion to be paid in the subsequent years?.... The fact of the matter is that money was dished out in abundance to fuel importers in the locust years of GEJ. The advantage being that there was fuel, but at what cost to the nation?... Even though the money reduced significantly post-2011, the fuel importers were still having a filled day so there wasn't any problem.

Today unfortunately, there isn't as much money any more and the FG is constrained to save scarce forex, hence moves are being made to block every possible loophole. Unfortunately, this has led to the fuel scarcity cos the NNPC is known for incompetence especially as it wasn't prepared for the massive load heaped on it in. With time however, I believe things will normalise and it is all for the better. There are no lies in my comments.

I just saw your name BLACKPANDA! Anything can make fp but not issues that bother on the wellbeing of Nigerians. Which part of the moon do you live in? You are not bothered about Nigerians sleeping in fuel stations because of bad governance? It is only witches and wizards that are happy when others are suffering. I salute you!

obailala:
The names or origins of the people are irrelevant, why did GEJ not go after them?... If GEJ had showed the slightest commitment to go after them, most Nigerians involved in those protests would have had a little confidence in the govt and given their protests a rethink.

Are you now passing the blame of GEJ not going after subsidy fraudsters to Tinubu?..... This would be the most ridiculous case of shifting blames. Gosh!
