The Jonathan-metricks Of Fuel Subsidy Scam By Ogunyemi Bukola

This people hold this nation at the jugular, is either they kill this nation or they die for this nation to survive. We are in big trouble. We must go rawling or libya way to salvage this nation

It baffles me all the time when I see people that never gets satisfy . When GEJ announced the removal of subsidy it was war. Now that the subsidy is on again another war . Mr writer you were indeed poor with your mathematics even when you went back to school.The maths here is greater than plus and minus , its now differential equations . If you study higher you may understand the intrigues.

Kudos Writamatician! The catastrophy from the Zoo will no doubt head back home in 2015 or No more Naija. A fake doctorate who can't piece together simple correct sentences must have been Made in Hell. Nigrians have never had it worse. The theft figures are atronomical. Aganga, Sanusi and Ngozi cannot in a million years mop up the drooling mess these Ijaw Aborigines are making of Nigerian presidency. They've opened the floodgate of corruption to all. It's free fall into the abyss in all facets of government. We're caught in quick sand with this Clown, a thief who refused to declare nor pay taxes on his assets. He's a jinx on Nigeria by the incestous Ota monster. His idea of governance is brown envelope settlement. Dumbo is a scammer, his fraud which started with Neighbour-2-Neighbour has spread to Coast-2-Coast with the Malabu scam. The only ropes he has learnt is corruption and by that rope we shall hang him and his cohorts come 2015. Animals.

If we assume a prado jeep has a full tank capacity of 75 liters, the subsidy amount will buy 20 million liters which is enough to fuel 5.2 million prados once a week for a year! Or 7 million saloons with a capacity of 55 liters every week for one year.

@Tundemess, I will rather u confine your amala ideas on buhari whom I said sacked over one million civil servants, to celebrate his one year in office! Than have u train yr watery thoughts on gej. Do u know what it means to fire over one million workers in 9ja during the 80s? If Buhari had any idea about fighting corruption., he would never have secretly released Uba Ahmed from kirikiri prison. Buhari would not have allowed Alhaji Alhaji ex CBN gov to go home and have him place late Fela in his gulag-some are saying we should put the past behind us-how can we confront the present without allowing the past evil DEEDS of buhari guide us in our choice of candidates 4 2015-that we should deny he did not kill over 1,000 9jas and 11 youth Corpers during the post election riot? Did we not have heads of state who fathered kids from Nigeria to London!? Buhari left thievery, blood, tears and sorrows in d oil sector!

Haba! Why all this screaming about the rot in government. If you think GEJ is not doing well, then wait for 2015 and exercise your right. We had the choice in 2011 and we decided, why all the screaming. Please allow GEJ do his job. This is his style. I'm sure when election time comes most of the raving commentators will vote not based on merit but one parochial reason or the other.

@ify demo, what's your point?

It is hard for SS to do clean business. Pipeline bursting, 'bunkering', Politics, Bloated/Abandomed NDDC Contracts and kidnapping are more attractive to them

Humorous yet sad that individuals ELECTED to office who have pledged to be faithful loyal and honest can boldly lie to our faces; surely he is the grand criminal of the federal republic. He surpassed NSC 1.2MN facebook account opening, NCC 75MN toilet doors replacement, NDDC 1.3BN fumigation. Surely he needed to break the record and obviously didn't give a damn if they few who could afford basic education in private schools could work the maths.

Next time u need not get a calculator neither major in calculus nor partial differentiation. Just ask any SAN (Senior Applicant of Nigeria) which I presume every household has 1 or 2 who has written over 70 aptitude tests this- If Nigerians consume 35 million liters of fuel per day&govt pays a subsidy of N44 on each liter: How much will the govt pay in 3 weeks?

Please let's not derail from the real focus which is what is happening "now"!It is disheartening that most Nigerians would rather look for an excuse as to why the present President is doing what he is doing by dredging up old tales of the past evil's of our former leaders, i think we need to start a revolution in ourselves first so that as one we can overcome the present common beast facing us. Jonathan Goodluck from onset had shown us his true colors on the nature of his spending but "no" we had to vote him for sentimental reasons.I remember the outrageous spending he and the first lady made a trend of before he was elected President,the spending was uncalled for. so, if we didn't do or say anything then what are we going to do now? Let's not vote any old candidate that has run for President, lets look for fresh people with integrity to lead us and if they fail us too let's come out with an out cry of protests! For NIGERIA is our's not theirs alone.

Reflecting on the state of the nigerian Nation puts a question to my mind.Why do we condone what the ruling mafia(called Government)throws at us?We strive,toil day and night,but could hardly afford a decent meal.We need to provide for ourselves Electricity (Generators),Water(Boreholes),Security Law enforcement(Vigilante),Education(Private schools).We stare helplessly as the mafiosi loot the country to death,and we continue to labour and toil harder.I asked myself where we find the strength to endure all the debasement,the suffering,insults!If not disgusted from being trampled down,why doesn't the constant pains and suffering revolt us and galvanize us into a revolt?Are we ourselves so corrupt as to have empathy for the thieving mafia?Do we lack enough self-esteem to reject injustice?Are we so lazy and cowardly to rise against oppression?Does it explain the reason for our continous enslavement by other folks?I am still pondering and asking myself who we are,and why we are the way we are

Read Tribune of today, the bill has passed through. QED

Jonathan is running a government of thieves, by thieves and for thieves. It steals everything in sight. This is the most corrupt and most useless government Nigeria has seen since independence. But I blame Nigerians for tolerating this nonsense. if Egyptians can do what they are doing at present to reject the proposed effort to give more powers to their president,I don't see the reason Nigerians should sit down and continue complaining when a group of criminals rob the country blind, steal every election and carry out acts of impunity unceasingly. Jonathan and his group of raiders need to be flushed out, by any means necessary if this country wants to avoid collapse. I bet serious minded patriotic soldiers should rise up to the task and nothing will happen thereafter. Rigue democracy is a farce, as Jonathan and his band of criminals have shown.

@Ify Demo. You people have no shame and that is why you write with a funny pseudonym. What Buhari got to do with the thieving tendency of Jonathan and his thousand thieves? Oh, I know. An Igbo proverb says an old woman gets uncomfortable at the mention of dry bones. You crimanals will always get high fever at the prospect of a Buhari comeback because you know that all you rouges will rot in jail. Watch out for it will soon come to pass, no matter how you and your thieving masters detest the fact. The alternative to a Buhari comeback is a revolutionary that will ensure that the shameless thieves messing up the country at present are wiped away.

There is little doubt that with this grovelling imbecile who cannot make a simple correct sentence, Nigeria is finished. The Jonathan tragedy is that the fool canot discern simple issues. Here is an unexposed bushman that suddenly was trust to a position that clearly dwarfs hum. He sees the desperate prostitutes that can do anything for money like Diezani and he loses himself.And here we are. Nigeria makes N16trillion every year from fuel, makes close to N5trillion from taxes and this meretricious mediocre and his band of thieves end up cleansing such huge resources.Even when steal these huge amounts in the name of fuel subsidy, fuel sells as high N250 per liter in most parts of the country for most parts of the year.We urgently need a bloody cleansing to cleanse this country of the kind of rogues Jonathan and his den of robbers are. Well done writer for such a brilliant outing.

Please allow the elder statesman Gen,Buhari alone.He has been tested and remain trusted.Those who are bent on tsrnishing his hard earned reputation will for ever remain disappointed.No amount of hatred and blackmail will erase his achievements in public domain.Those paid agent of political intrigues will never beat his records in service.Whether his critics like it or not The Gen.remained the most cherished charmpion of the common man.blind ethnic and religious bigots are advised to concentrate on issues and not personality to advance the institunalization of posittive democratic best practices for the attainment of rapid transformation of the country.

Only verifiable and genuine contract should be paid not the fake and corrupted contracts (flying contracts-contract that cannot be substantiated.)You may be right,contract is binding when it has been consumed place yourself in the other side you supplied and executed your side with borrowed funds from the banks.No doubt you want your money paid.

What has not adequately been explained to the public is that though huge payments may have been in recent months, they are mostly for long standing debts, some of them incurred since 2006. In other words, though the administrations which gave the marketers and other dealers the licences to import the petroleum products have since expired, it is incumbent on the existing government to pay them because, to use a term which the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo popularized in Nigeria, “government is a continuum”. If previous governments were delinquent in meeting their contractual obligations, the present government should not follow their footstep. Contracts are sacrosanct and it is in the interesting of everyone that payments are made once they are due. If a party goes to court to compel the government to pay it for a legitimate contract, not only will the government pay the principal amount and interest, it will also pay for damages.

Well we said it from the begining but Nigerians we moved by sentiments and Jona emerged from the belly of the whale. The Govenors want a billion dollars and Jona just got His own billion of already of aready spent appropriation, lets see what the NASS will ask for in return. Sadly the only player who don't benefit are the Demos but the subsidy is tied to their names. What a sham called government.

Well done, Ogunyemi Bukola for this well researched article.
I think allowing this corrupt inept moron Jonathan to be in power till 2015 will be catastrophic for Nigeria.

Drunk Deri, before you start telling us the 55 yrs story about the deads (Mungo Park, Gani, Ken Saro Wiwa, Abiola) you see, provide us with facts and figures as this writer has done.

I think allowing this corrupt inept moron Jonathan to be in power till 2015 will be catastrophic for Nigeria.

THIS IS ROBBERY OF THE HIGHEST ORDER. NIGERIANS WHAT IS GOING ON IN THIS COUNTRY OF OURS FOR GOD'S SAKE? WILL THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DANCE TO THE TUNE OF THE PRESIDENT AND HIS CRONIES? WE ARE REALLY SUFFERING IN THE MIDST OF PLENTY IN THAT COUNTRY. HOW CAN THE PRESIDENT JUSTIFY HIS REQUEST FOR N161 BILLION FOR THREE WEEKS GOING BY THE ANALYSIS PROVIDED BY THE WRITER. IF WE ARE NOT ALL GOOD IN MATHEMATICS I WANT TO BELIEVE THAT THESE WORKINGS HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB IN ENLIGHTING US. FOR SANITY TO REIGN IN THE PETROLEUM INDUSTRY THE MINISTER FOR PETROLEUM WHO THE PRESIDENT IS RELUCTANT TO RELIEVE OF HER POST FOR REASONS BEST KNOWN TO HIM MUST GO. OTHERWISE WE SHALL CONTINUE TO GRUMBLE AND SPEAK GRAMMAR. GOD BLESS NIGERIA AND TRUE NIGERIANS.

NIGERIA, WE HAIL THEE!

I can't wait for the day REVOLUTION will begin in that country for the hardship intentionally inflicted on Nigerians by their so-called leaders.

End of year bonanza, by the time daddy's girl share Ghana must go. Signature would ome.

Please pass this article to their co conspirators, NLC. We can't even trust them

If you can do all this mathematics without cheating, we can make you a Prof. This is a doctoral thesis. After all some Prof's from UNN just copy and paste.

No good news can come out of Nigeria. How can a sane government request for that criminal money for subsidy for 3 weeks?

The idea here is 4 9jas to be told that the fraud widely believed to be involved in the petrol subsidy regime has been going on for several years, even b4 Objs arrival. Who in a bid to address the problem arising out of the shortage of petrol and kerosene, created (PPPRA). Sad cause most of us think the fraud in the subsidy regime is a very new phenomenon. The impression owes to the repeated statement by Ngozi dat 9ja will lose 1.4trillion naira in 2011 by spending this whopping amount on the subsidy, which ironically enriches a few petroleum products importers instead of d commoners. CBN declared d actual expenditure on the subsidy is N1.7t for 2011. In addition, thief Lawan Farouk, has publicly been arguing that the expenditure on the regime could climb up to an unprecedented trillion N2trillion this year because there are still outstanding payments to be made. So what is the noise by bukola here about?

I can not but continue to cry for Nigeria; What else can I say?

(Apart from effects of oil spills, gas flaring constitutes a serious hazard. It causes acid rain which acidifies the lakes and streams and damages crops and vegetation. It reduces farm yields and harms human health; increases the risk of respiratory illnesses, asthma and cancer and often causes chronic bronchitis, decreased lung function, blindness, impotence, miscarriages and premature deaths. Constant heat and the absence of darkness in some communities have done incalculable damage to human, animal and plant life in affected areas. Gas flares also cause affected places to be covered in thick soot, making even rain water unsafe for drinking. A (UNEP) report, Criticised SPDC deals with the environmental damage it has caused in the Niger Delta, especially in Ogoniland. UNEP said Ogoniland needed the world’s largest ever oil clean-up, which would cost an initial $1billion or N160 billion and could take 30 years.

However, the huge earnings, arguably, have not translated to improved welfare for the people of the oil producing areas, whose environment -land, water and air have been adversely contaminated and in many cases devastated and polluted. In the last 20 years, about 2,000 persons have been killed in pipeline-related explosions and accidents in the region.
Indeed, a World Bank report warns that 40 per cent of habitable terrain in the Niger Delta area would disappear in 20 years if strong-willed remediation was not carried out. And the Federal Government admitted that 40,000 oil spills had occurred in the past 53 years of oil exploration.
In the report, the World Bank claimed that the palm groves, shorelines, creeks and other habitable areas would be washed away by erosion as well as spills due to vandalism, system failure and crude oil theft.

SINCE Nigeria started generating revenue from crude oil in 1958, the country has earned about N50.696 trillion or N1 trillion a year, according to Saturday Vanguard investigations. Of this princely sum, which accounts for about 80 per cent of the country’s federal revenue, only N6.577 trillion or less has been paid to the oil producing areas as derivation. The figure is N18.771 trillion less than the N25.348 trillion the oil-bearing regions should have got as derivation if 50 per cent derivation had not been jettisoned few years after crude oil became the chief revenue earner. Between 1958 and 2007 (CBN Annual Report and Statement of Account, 2008), Nigeria earned N29.8 trillion from petroleum resources. And between 2008 and 2011, the country generated N20.895 trillion.
