BUHARI & NNPC UBER-NIZATION...

One thing you should do constantly on #TwitterNG is to have enough sense to learn, because you will never know everything but you can learn about everything.

What did Buhari's NNPC action mean? Is it PRIVATIZATION or COMMERCIALIZATION?🤣
Like them, hate them, Buhari/Osinbajo ticket is the best deal Nigeria has ever gotten in that office in Aso Rock & this present 9th Assembly is the best deal Nigeria has ever gotten in its democratic era since 1999.
What @MBuhari did with @nnpclimited will be part of his LEGACY.
So NNPC (Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation) is now NNPC Limited (Nigerian National Petroleum Company)..

It was like IMPOSSIBLE for 20 years now, then Buhari did it. What did he do to NNPC in laymen terms? He did what I simply call UBER-NIZATION of our family property🤣🤣
200 Million Nigerians as a family has this nice CAR they use called NNPC. It is our property but the usage is being abused by the few privileged ones in the family. Sometimes, they take it to night club, messed it up & still asked our family to repair the car & pay the driver.
Since our previous heads of family were also enjoying the abuse of our common property, they wouldn't do anything to change the abuse of the car even when we've said it severally in the family house that something must change in the use of this CAR for more than 20 years...
One of the intending family heads said he would kuku sell this our family car so that we will not be wasting our family budget on it....The problem was that just like the previous family properties he sold, Akotileta said he would sell it to his USUAL friends that underpaid us🤣
The last time Atiku had opportunity to be part of the heads of the family, he sold one of our cars (ALSCON), the car was worth $3.5 billion, Atiku said he made mistake & sold it for $250 million when there were others who wanted to pay billions.
You no go lead this family again!
That is why Baba Obasanjo under whose watch Atiku sold (privatized) those cars said God will not forgive him if he supported Atiku to still be head of this 200million family o...

Baba @atiku, you no go lead this family again o, no waste your time....
After 3 decades, Buhari didn't just set up reform about #PIB, he signed the bill into law & that forever shall be an all time achievement.
If SETTING UP REFORM was your standard of past achievement, pls UPGRADE your standard, Buhari had MOVED IT UP.

bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
So which approach is Buhari take? He said we'll not SELL (PRIVATIZATION) this family car, we'll not allow few privileged family members to keep messing it up, while we still spend family money on it. We'll use it to do UBER (COMMERCIALIZATION) while still having it as 100%🕺🕺
So, Buhari (APC) did not PRIVATIZE NNPC Ltd o, they COMMERCIALIZED it.

PRIVATIZATION: The transfer of a business, industry, or service from public to private ownership and control.

COMMERCIALIZATION: the process of managing or running something principally for financial gain.
Meaning: This NNPC Ltd still belongs to 200million Family 100%. But any member of the family will not be able to take it to naming ceremony, nightclub or religious service for free like before again...

We go use am do UBER (commercialization), UBER driver go give us our money!
UBER drivers will be using the car for COMMERCIAL purpose, they'll not wait for our family meeting before they use the car, fix or change any part of the car again...
But that car you see with UBER driver still belongs to our family 100% this time around. Na COMMERCIALIZATION!🚶‍♂️

I listened to EVERYTHING FESTUS OSIFO the PENGASSAN President said in this 37 minute interview.
I have never had a complete package tutorial around Oil and Gas issue like this👌👌

No Meda personality has ever brought this level in clarification to the issues around Dangote Refinery, NNPC, Pricing, Crude Supply, TAM in NNPC, Downstream sector, FX floating etc....
FESTUS OSIFO the Pengassan President giving real breakdown of how Oil and Gas costing is calculated and other issues around Dangote PMS price and why NNPC is the one buying alone for now....
FESTUS OSIFO 👌👌👌

Now, it's ok not to agree with everything he said, but don't block your mind from learning, unlearning and relearning....

FUEL SUBSIDY, LOCAL REFINERY, PMS PRICE:

The conversation must continue UNTIL we know what we want. There is practically no other way to get a cheap price of PMS outside SUBSIDY. All these noise and emotional talks are just not making any logical sense.

ALL the leading Presidential candidates said SUBSIDY MUST GO & WE ALL VOTED FOR THEM......We simply agreed with ANYONE who won to remove subsidy, that's what it means.

We cannot spend $40bn on subsidy and less than half on education & health - Peter ObiLabour Party's presidential candidate on @ARISEtv
You see all those new argument about, "I will put some things in place before removing subsidy" is just illogical brain dots....

The question was clear enough before election & the answer by Tinubu the winner, Atiku and Peter Obi was CLEAR enough...By June 2023, Subsidy would go.

Every other gymnastic statement AFTER the winner removed subsidy was just lazy talk without any substance, Nigerians and I meant all of us would have felt the pain EXACTLY the way we are feeling it now irrespective of who won and removed subsidy with FX market unification.
The Old Argument by individuals who didn't want to go straight about removal was that "at least I will ensure LOCAL REFINERY is in place before removing subsidy"....

That in itself is a RED FLAG of a deceiver seeking to be elected by all means, NO PRESIDENT sworn in among them in May29 2023 could have fixed anything in LOCAL REFINERY in June their 1st month.

That's a Presidential candidate propaganda. You couldn't have shit before removing subsidy you promised to remove IMMEDIATELY.

FG RICE REVOLUTION POLICY AND WHY THINGS MESSED UP....

I have found out that once you join emotional drama of pointing accusing fingers at the Politicians ONLY, everyone seems COOL & OK.
Ok, let me say Politicians messed it up so that you will be happy & you can logically join this conversation....

Buhari started something in 2016 that the Elites were against when he said we must produce what we consume....A task force was set up.Image
Image
A panel was set up and every stake holder was involved in 2016....
The purpose of this policy well defined:
"A policy document seen by Reuter late last year showed that the Government aims to be self sufficient in both rice and wheat production within three years"

HELLconomists on Social Media with big big degrees were everywhere & they were against everything...."Why closing border, you want to kpai Nigerians"Image
When Govt stopped importation, we were against it, When Govt plans to start importation, we are against it.....We are against EVERYTHING but that's not even the focus now🤣🤣

By August 2019, Govt had moved further to close border and the purpose of that closure among other things, was to encourage LOCAL PRODUCTION....Image

THE VALUELESS OFFICIAL DOLLAR RATE....

Let's even have a conversation on this OFFICIAL DOLLAR many have been talking about and they want Govt to peg it at N500....

Who used to have unhindered access to OFFICIAL RATE?

1. Politicians irrespective of their party affiliation. Are you?Image
2. The high and the mighty in the Society who could simply call people at CBN to arrange thousands of dollars for them at official rate.....Are you?

3. Top guys in the Banking sectors, Top Govt officials in MDAs (I can give example with location sha)..

4. Top business men and other elites in that class.
5. A few Nigerians trying to sort their admission out in foreign Countries...Out of these, some still gamed the system in collaboration with bankers (If you know, you know)... Are you one of these people?

If YOU or anyone around you have been part of these groups (maybe except group 5), you ought to be in jail.

Let me give you an example of DARK DEALINGS, just one😇😇
