‘Like NITEL, Who Has NNPC Helped ?’ Conversation With An American Based APC Supporter
The Oasis Reporters
February 23, 2019
On election morning, a very close friend of mine from the US who supports Buhari with a passion sent me an appeal to help save NNPC, possibly with my one vote. So I responded:
My Ibadan born friend, Who NNPC epp (who has benefited from the NNPC) ?
So na to sell am and epp Atiku and his friends? Really interesting
Son of Ibadan, if you had been taught by mediocre lecturers at the University of Ibadan, would you have been able to secure your accounting job in a top rated firm in the US ?
Aburo (my brother), NNPC is mediocre. Crude-oil is at their backyard in Warri there. Backyard oo, not a very far place oo.
Rather than refine it for Nigerian people and make money, even sell to Togo and other countries using the hundreds of thousands of engineering graduates produced from our Universities, Polytechnics, Technical Colleges etc. NNPC would rather export the Crude-oil in their backyard to Singapore, which refines it, and they import the petrol back into Nigeria, smile, beat their chest and ask the Federal government to pay them 1.2 trillion naira subsidy to go and chop and chop then drive us into recession and debt, for generations yet unborn. The Buhari administration has so far borrowed 7 trillion naira, partly to subsidize the loss making NNPC.
Atiku, should sell it, or I won’t vote for him again in the future.
Sell it on the stock market, sharp sharp ! America does not have American National Petroleum Corporation. Our stupidity is enough! (Our mumu don do !) Privatization is the way. Let Nigerian engineers do the refining in the country for they too,deserve to be rich, like Singaporeans and Koreans.
For 45 years, we have waited. 45 long years, and the self smug corruption ridden corporation refused to reform itself, becoming a cash cow for the top political class and their families only.
We waited like that too, for NITEL. President Obasanjo then sold it for us to be rewarded with GSM networks and I already have dedicated lines, supporting my online business. Not from the failed NITEL that could only give a nation of 120 million people a mere 300,000 working telephone lines in 60 years. GSM has given Nigerians over 100 million lines in less than 15 years.
