STOP USING ISLAM TO EMOTIONALIZE INCOMPETENCE. FAITH IS ABOUT JUSTICE, NOT BLIND CULTISM

You call him a 'Muslim Brother'; the Qur'an calls for Justice. Let us consult the Books, not your emotions:

1. THE COMMAND IS JUSTICE, NOT TRIBALISM

Allah (SWT) does not ask us to blindly follow a leader because he prays like us.

“Indeed, Allah commands justice, excellence, and giving to relatives, and forbids oppression and wrongdoing.” (Qur’an 16:90)

2. THE PROPHET’S WARNING (The Red Line)

You ask us to pray for him? The Prophet (PBUH) gave us the criteria for a leader worthy of prayer versus one who is cursed:

“The most beloved leaders to Allah are the just ones... and the most hated and furthest from Him are the oppressive ones.” (Sahih Muslim)

3. THE GOVERNANCE STANDARD

Nigeria is a Multi-Religious State, not a Caliphate. Competence has no religion.

As Imām ʿAlī (AS) wrote to his Governor, Mālik al-Ashtar:

“People are of two kinds: either your brothers in faith, or your equals in humanity.” (Nahj al-Balāghah, Letter 53)

The Verdict: Do not ask us to baptize Hunger, Inflation, and Corruption as 'Islamic' just because the President says 'Salam.'

- A Muslim who starves the poor is not a 'Brother' in governance; he is an Oppressor.

- Prayers are for the Just. Accountability is for the Ruler.

Tinubu is a One-Term President. Peter Obi is the Future.

We voted for Competence, not a 'Muslim-Muslim' scam.

Dealt with it!

You are a domestic company but what benefits are we getting other than job creation, which is a mutual benefit as you get labour cheaper. Nigerians need more than that
Get yourself ready and compete fairly

Dangote is sincerely not doing well
For you this is business, drop the emotional sentiments you are attaching, you are not helping Nigerians in any way rather making profits from them
So it's just business, price mechanism is one factor you must consider
You are

PRESS STATEMENT

We had lately refrained from engaging in media fights, but we are constrained to respond to the recent misinformation being circulated by IPMAN, PETROAN, and other associations.

Both organisations claim that they can import PMS at lower prices than what is being sold by the Dangote Refinery. We benchmark our prices against international prices, and we believe our prices are competitive relative to the price of imports. If anyone claims they can land PMS at a price cheaper than what we are selling, then they are importing substandard products and conniving with international traders to dump low quality products into the country, without concern for the health of Nigerians or the longevity of their vehicles. Unfortunately, the regulator (NMDPRA) does not even have laboratory facilities which can be used to detect substandard products when imported into the country.

Post deregulation, NNPC set the pace by selling PMS to domestic marketers at N971 per litre for sale into ships and at N990 for sale into trucks. This set the benchmark for our pricing, and we have even gone lower to sell at N960 per litre for sale into ships while maintaining N990 per litre for sale into trucks.

In good faith, and in the interest of the country, we commenced sales at these prices without clarity on the exchange rate that we will use to pay for the crude purchased.

At the same time, an international trading company has recently hired a depot facility next to the Dangote Refinery, with the objective of using it to blend substandard products that will be dumped into the market to compete with Dangote Refinery's higher quality production.

This is detrimental to the growth of domestic refining in Nigeria. We should point out that it is not unusual for countries to protect their domestic industries in order to provide jobs and grow the economy. For example, the US and Europe have had to impose high tariffs on EVs and microchips in order to protect their domestic industries.

While we continue with our determination to provide affordable, good quality, domestically refined petroleum product in Nigeria, we call on the public to disregard the deliberate disinformation being circulated by agents of people who prefer for us to continue to export jobs and import poverty.

The Verdict

Tinubu: No Place to Hide!

By Olusegun Adeniyi

August 29, 2024

To say that the administration of President Bola Tinubu is enmeshed in a crisis of credibility is to put the situation mildly. For a man who got to office with a statistically narrow mandate of 37 percent of total votes cast, many expected Tinubu to rise above himself in order to establish an enduring legacy. That expectation now appears misplaced. Even more worrisome is that despite being in a ditch, the president and his handlers continue to dig by displaying a behaviour the Yoruba would describe as “tani o mu mi”. As I once explained on this page, it is the kind of impunity that carries a certain sense of hubris, not only for the perpetrator(s) but also for the larger society.

It all began with a report in TheCable, which supplied the proof for what most already suspected or knew: The federal government has been spending trillions of Naira to pay for fuel subsidy even when officials continue to parrot the presidential deceit that “subsidy is gone.” Then, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar released a scathing statement that Nigeria “has been effectively mortgaged to President Bola Tinubu, his family, and associates,” citing how the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) allegedly put its retail arm under the control of OVH, which he claimed (it has been disputed by NNPC Ltd) is controlled by Wale Tinubu’s Oando.

These issues were still playing out when Nigerians got to know that a new presidential jet had been surreptitiously purchased by a government that has been doubling down on policies that make life difficult for the ordinary Nigerian. “The new plane, bought far below the market price, saves Nigeria huge maintenance and fuel costs, running into millions of dollars yearly,” was all the explanation from the villa, even when Nigerians still don’t know the cost of this plane and how it was acquired. And we probably would not have been informed about it had the Chinese firm, Zhongshan Fucheng Industrial Investment Co Limited, not impounded three presidential aircraft in Paris, following the order of a French court on their dispute with Ogun State. It was the court that included one ACJ330-200, 5N-FGA (msn 1053), “recently bought from AMAC Corporate Jet (AMK, Zurich) and still stationed at Basel” while authorising the bailiffs “to go any place where the aircraft registered 5N-FGU, 5N-FGT and 5N-FGA are located and seize them.”

That was how Nigerians got to know that we have a new presidential jet. The aircraft, we would later learn, was released as an act of benevolence to our president by the Chinese company so that it would not affect his travel plans, including to China next week for the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) summit. Incidentally, I am currently in Chengdu, Sichuan Province of China for the 2024 Media Cooperation Forum on Belt and Road where I was among the speakers yesterday on the theme, ‘Enhancing media cooperation for common development.’ I will also be attending the 3rd Belt and Road News Network (BRNN) Council meeting today before heading back home on Sunday.

In his column last Sunday explaining how Tinubu’s fuel subsidy reform efforts unravelled, Waziri Adio concluded that for the administration, “an open acknowledgment” that subsidy is still very much with us “is a necessary starting point, for you cannot address what you haven’t even accepted exists or is a problem.” And “after coming clean, the government needs to level up with Nigerians about how it plans to manage the subsidy in a transparent and accountable way.” But that is precisely where the problem lies: This president is exhibiting a contempt for transparency and accountability in the conduct of government business. We saw that with the award of the contract for the multi trillion Naira Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road project and the manner several budgets are running concurrently.

If legislation becomes a part-time role, trust me Nigeria would start accelerating to success
Our no 1 problem is legistlative

[Enteleky @blastc4]

First, we must shutdown the senate house:

Then, ensure, that lawmaking becomes a part time service to the nation.

No more salaries and any other payments for law makers, only sitting allowance.

Law makers and government officials must provide their own cars, and houses, and hire their staff and other employees at their expense and not at the expense of taxpayers.

Nigerians must Defund the @NigeriaSenate

Defund the presidency @government

It’s time to protest!
