Hi guysss. With respect to the subject matter, i would also like to suggest we contact the brain behind sahara reporters (Sowore Omoyele) as well. He is an activist independent reporter. He is always interested in things like this as well as exposing corrupt leaders and organisation. The earlier we implement this last strategy which i believe by the grace of GOD would be the last straw to break the camels back. I think they would be forced to act.
@All, pls buy a copy of Leadership newspaper tomorrow 26th Jan, for our publication. Other national dailies: Vanguard, Thisday, Sun etc will follow soon. @debrown has been very instrumental to all these moves.
I wish to use this opportunity to request all forumites who have close contacts with their Honorable Reps. at the lower house of the National Assembly to bring this issue to their notice in view of a jointly sponsored bill to mandate those responsible in releasing the long awaited appointment letters to do so, asap. I believe this is our surest way to get what we want we want, in a democratic dispensation.
Also, those who have access to NTA or other TV channels can move for an aired interview with the Hon. Minister of Petroleum Resources on the on-going reforms in the oil and gas sector, where questions on this 2-year delay in release of appointment letters can be raised. Any other outlet for e-publishing or social media is highly welcome.
@Alanu Loluwa, the last paragraph has been modified to be more subtle. @happinext, as I mentioned earlier, the article has been modified from it's original version to accommodate the same aspirations of DPR hopefuls.
May God bless our efforts.
@ud, you are free to put up an open letter to Mr President. What we need are people willing to make the right moves... I only think an open letter to Mr President should be more appropriate if we have a pressure group.
However, someone has suggested that we should form a pressure group and come to Abuja so that he can take us to the Chairman House Committee on Petroleum-Upstream. The questions are: what will be the name of our pressure group? How soon can we form it and who should represent us? We need volunteers in Abuja and it's environs. For me staying in Abuja, I can volunteer my car to convey those willing to go to the National Assembly, if and when we decide to do so.
@meet_tope, I agree with you that selling our cause to Sowore Omoyele of Sahara Reporters, will be very useful to our cause. But we need someone who can provide his contacts.
We need all committed hands on deck.
am happy we are on course...we cant continue playing second fiddle..d time to act is now...i will get leadership newspaper 2mao.
I strongly believe it is better tittled as AN OPEN LETTER TO MR PRESIDENT. It wil arrest attention immediately and all we want to achieve is wide readership in the government quarters
@All, the article will be in The Sun, Vanguard and Leadership Newspapers tomorrow.
Nice one "my landlord"!Quote:

This is the first time I'll write here. Trust me I was forced to because I can finally see that the recent protest in which a lot of things were revealed, has motivated everyone. I'm so proud of everyone here. Thumbs up to everyone....I pray that all the efforts will not be in vain..God bless U all (Amin).
@all,gud work.May we all be successful @ d end amen
Action should begin....enough of the talks. Copy and and all social platforms....send via BB.......do your bit and it will reward all.

I go begin night vigil for all of una...una dey craze, all of una wey wan cause trouble. no be only una sabi write article for news paper or get radio shows. it is much better that it is out of nnpc's corruption that i dont get the job, than it is because some over zealous fellow applicants go dey wan show say na only dem go school. look for a job, go for msc, learn handiwork, join politics, join militants or even boko haram, that one concern you and your God, but leave nnpc for people like me wey still get small faith say one day we go make our parents proud...with or without nnpc.
@ Slimikenna. It's pathetic. I'm sorry. The deed is already done. This is the turning point. If everybody thinks like u this recruitment would've failed. U can't effect a change by inaction and/or ''beggar's attitude.'' I respect ur opinion, nonetheless.
@slimikena u are not a gud nigerian, wen some are lukin 4 a way out u are opposing dem, which means u are only fighting 4ur head. Stupid yeye boy. BB carry go i dey fill u.
Bebrief d more i tot i ve undastood u d more complicated u appear
Bebrief ur post on pg 274 & 275 compared 2 dis wk post is an unbalance equatn" is dere anythng u know which hopeful are ignorant of?"
@Bipet,please don't bring old issues here. Bebrief and others are doing a wonderful job at the moment.Forward ever,backward never.
@Slimikenna I feel extremely sorry for u. with this attitude and inferiority complex,no wonder u r a SAN (senior applicant of Nigeria). Its laughable that ur cv will say that u r a team player, proactive and what not.
Listen even if my name doesn't come out I will survive very comfortably, my aim is that the process comes to an end. U have been waiting aimlessly for 7months now and u see nothing wrong in that??.
Well u r entitled to ur opinion. I don't expect everyone to reason sensibly.
Wonderful!Quote:

Yes, I dont support the article writing thing, thats my opinion, nobody should insult me for it. If you have yours, state it. I will not degrade myself in a public forum like this by attacking/insulting people...not me. Degrading a fellow human doesn't make me a greater person.Quote:

You contradict yourself when you say that you did not insult anybody. You are free to air your contrary views but remember to do unto others what you want them to do to you. No insults PLEASE!!!!!!Quote:

its a govt of thieves, by thieves for theieves.
madueke will give one technical reason, and that would be all...we would be advised to seek other alternetives....or better still, try and create employment.
i emphasise that occupy NNPC would not be the best option.this govvt does not take kindly to confrontation, constructive arguements and reasoning.
it must be achieved subtly and politically.
i however came with great news for the house.
i believe God has answered the prayers of the brethen in the house.
this current probe of the activites of the NNPC would lead to them doing something soon.
i see them even going back to 2008, in other to save some peoples neck.......we are the better for it.
they have to justify the huge allocation to the recruitment process.the tempo here is high.
its every man for his head....the words...my hand no dey....is a common phrase.
every document is being requested for....the scope of the probe is encompassing.
what i think, we can do is to help the probe think towards our area.
if anyone can reach any member of the panel, and give him this information, it would be worthwhile.
but if its already in the papers,trust the bureaucracy to have already created an answer for it by now.
God bless this beautiful house

Nigeria loses N700b on Kaduna refinery, pays N12b annually to idle workers
A NERVE-RACKING revelation has come from the Senate Committee on Petroleum (Downstream) that the Federal Government is losing over N700 billion yearly due to the comatose nature of the Kaduna Refining and Petrochemicals Company (KRPC).
The chairman of the committee, Senator Magnus Abbe who disclosed this on Tuesday when the committee visited the plant on oversight function added that the Federal Government spends a whopping N12 billion yearly on staff salaries in the company.
Abbe who spoke after a tour of the plant lamented that instead of focusing on the core mandate of the company which was refining of petroleum products, the company has resorted to producing of drums for oil companies due to decay in its infrastructure. He equally expressed displeasure that the company established over 20 years ago with production capacity of 110, 000 barrels per day could not refine even 30,000 barrels per day.
“We are not happy with the situation in this refinery. It is shocking that the refinery built over 20 years ago with a capacity of 110,000 barrels is operating at low capacity. One appalling thing is that a plant built for refining products is converted to a container-making firm. We are doing this when we are paying N12 billion annually as staff salaries. We are going to find out why you are importing crude. It is not that the plant is not working, but there is no immediate plan to revive it’’, he said.
Still counting the losses the Federal Government incurs in the plant, Abbe said the investment in the plant was with the hope that by now Nigeria ought to have received returns on the investment.
He added: “It is more annoying if you consider the investment on the refinery. 110,000 barrels at 90 per cent capacity, we could be making more than N719 billion annually. The country would have been able to tackle the problem of infrastructure that we are talking about today. Instead of turnover of over N700 billion, we are battling with obsolete equipment. We are shocked by the obsolete facilities that we have seen here, particularly in the control room. The Nigerian people expect more from this plant”.
Expressing dismay over the operations of the plant, Abbe said: “Another baffling issue is that you collect crude from the Pipelines, Product and Marketing Company (PPMC) without proper costing. There is a lot of work to be done here’’.
He asked the management of the plant to submit to the committee the original cost of building the plant, the jobs that the plant has done, and the staff audit.
The Managing Director of KRPC, Bolanle Ayodele, expressed appreciation over the visit of the committee and expressed hope that intervention would come to rescue the plant. He regretted that assets in the plant had been deteriorating over the years because Turn Around Maintenance (TAM) was not carried out on schedule. Ayodele added that instead of the statutory two years period, the plant had suffered neglect.
“Down the line, as the integrity of the assets deteriorated and the company, by virtue of its location, continues to suffer from irregular crude supply owing to pipeline vandalism and inadequate maintenance, it became difficult to sustain steady operations. “Today, the assets require a comprehensive rehabilitation to ensure a strong and healthy business’’, he said.
which column of the news paper can i find d article if i wish 2read d paper online. well done guys.
@ Jesus Army, thanks for your contribution."....the scope of the probe is encompassing.what i think, we can do is to help the probe think towards our area.if anyone can reach any member of the panel, and give him this information, it would be worthwhile."I think its a bit too late to approach the House probe committee because they may have submitted their report last week. The Senate committee on downstream on the other hand had already recommended including subsidy removal. The best option now is to get it sponsored as a motion on the floor of the House or Senate and it must not be coming from a petroleum committee member-any house member or Senator can do that. Best regards
Debrown, is the article in the papers today? In which of the newspapers can i find it. I just bought and cant find it.
thumbs up for everybody, hope something real comes out of this
Pls open to page 35 of the Leadership newspaper today January 26, 2012.
I couldnt find the article in the Sun newspaper.
ℓ̊ am as perplexed as you all are about this recruitment but like it has been said wε should simply pray & do what wε think is best!
That said, ℓ̊ never knew ℓ̊ had a link to inside info until recently & ℓ̊ decided to squeeze whatever info ℓ̊ can for myself & †ђξ house. This recruitment will be completed as emphasised by JA & co.info reaching has assured that every single detail has been completed & letters generated & submitted for safekeeping. †ђξ delay is as a result of †ђξ pause order given (as confirmed by JA). This batch of recruitment is nothing like that of 2008 that was deemed incomplete & chaotic hence †ђξ cancellation but this probe will reveal a lot of things & probably force hands than initially expected.
And so wε know, †ђξ entire list is under lock & key so let no man fool you abt name checking cos even NNPC bosses don't have access to it!
Let's keep it real & never ever give up. It is our right,wε fought †ђξ good fight for it. God bless Nigeria!
@all, apart from Leadership Newspapers that published the article today on page 35, other papers we have contacted will hopefully publish it when they decide on a date. Also we have already contacted an Hon Member of the House of Reps who is also a member of the House Committee on Petroleum downstream (won't mention name) and he promised to take it up with DPR and NNPC by asking questions about their recruitment processes. Incidentally both agencies are coming today for their budget defences. And so if you are in Abuja now and can make your way to the National Assembly, you may seize the opportunity to watch/listen to the Budget defence before the house committee (usually starts by 2pm). May God help us as we make this little effort to understand what is actually happening.
Thumbs up General Debrown or should i say Senator Debrown.
God will surely fight the battle for us. evil will SURELY BOW before the GOOD and the wicked at the gate of the RIGHTEOUS by God's divine grace.
IT IS WELL.
Just comfirmed the publication, Well done guys. Two good heads are surely better than one.Quote:
