Tinubu Is Youth Friendly, Says PAP Boss Otuaro, Calls for Patient as he Revamp Nigeria's Economy

Portharcourt _____The Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), Dr Dennis Otuaro, has described President Bola Tinubu as a youth-friendly president.

Otuaro stated this in his remarks at the NDDC Executive Management Engagement with Ethnic Nationalities Youth Leaders and Selected Stakeholders themed, "Let Is Build Together", in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, on Tuesday.

A statement issued by the Special Assistant on Media to the PAP Administrator, Mr Igoniko Oduma, quoted him as having urged the people of Niger Delta to own the administration of Tinubu because of his youth-friendliness and love for the region.

According to him, the president's favourable disposition was the reason he appointed him as the PAP Administrator and Samuel Ogbuku as the Managing Director of the NDDC, among others.

Otuaro enjoined the people to be patient with Tinubu as he had initiated reforms under his Renewed Hope Agenda to revamp Nigeria's economy and also fast-track development in the Niger Delta.

He reiterated his call for the sustenance of peace and security in the Niger Delta and urged youths to shun the proposed national protests on August 1, saying they should not allow any group of persons to force them to go back to the old ways.

Otuaro noted that the President was supporting the Programme tremendously to achieve its mandate for the region.

He said in line with this, the PAP had designed a scheme to empower more than 1,000 youths that had been engaged this year.

He stated that under the education policy of the programme, the Office would increase the number of scholarship beneficiaries to accommodate 500 Niger Delta students to study in universities.

Otuaro also disclosed that the PAP prioritizes women in its stakeholders policy, adding that the Office would in the nearest future hold a women summit to interface with the region's female folk.

He commended the NDDC for organising the sensitization meeting, and pledged PAP's readiness to partner with the interventionist agency.

He said, "The government of President Bola Tinubu is a youth-friendly government, and he really loves the Niger Delta. I was at the NDDC before he appointed me to head the Presidential Amnesty Programme Office. And Samuel Ogbuku is the Managing Director of the NDDC.

"Therefore, it is time for us to own the administration of Tinubu. Let us not join the protests. We need to be patient with him for his reforms to materialize. Nobody should make us to go back to the old ways.

"This year in the PAP, we have a programme to empower over 1000 of our youths. In education, we are going to expand scholarship to 500 beneficiaries of the PAP scholarship scheme.

"For our women, they are our priority. We have had stakeholders meeting with ex-agitators, we are also going to hold another meeting involving women only. In that meeting, our women will articulate their issues. I will not impose anything on our women. The meeting will cut across the Niger Delta. We will partner with the NDDC, we already have the manpower."

Among dignitaries present at the event were Senate President Godswill Akpabio; Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu; Chairman of Senate Committee on Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Asuquo Ekpenyong; national chairman of PANDEF, Emmanuel Ibok Essien; President of Ijaw National Congress, Prof. Benjamin Okaba; President of Ijaw Youth Council, Jonathan Lokpobiri; Niger Delta female activist, AnnKio Briggs; Alhaji Mujahid Asari Dokubo; the Ologbotsere of Warri Kingdom, Ayiri Emami, among others.

The Unquantifiable Powers of Submarine Machines for a Nation's Protection Against External Enemies

Submarines are among the most fascinating and powerful machines in the world. They can dive deep into the oceans and perform various tasks, such as spying, attacking, exploring, or rescuing. However, they are also known for being very slow compared to other vehicles. The average speed of a submarine is around 5 to 10 knots, which is equivalent to 6 to 12 miles per hour. This is much slower than the speed of a car, which can travel at around 60 miles per hour. Why are submarines so slow?

There are several reasons for this.

One reason is that submarines are designed to be stealthy and avoid detection, which requires them to move slowly to minimize the noise they make. Submarines use propellers or jet propulsion to move through the water, but these also create sound waves that can be picked up by sonar or hydrophones. The faster the submarine moves, the louder it becomes, and the easier it is for enemies to locate and track it. Therefore, submarines have to balance their speed and their stealth, and often choose to sacrifice the former for the latter.

Another reason is that submarines are bulky and heavy, and not designed for speed, but rather for endurance and carrying large payloads. Submarines have to carry a lot of equipment and weapons, such as torpedoes, missiles, mines, sensors, batteries, fuel, and crew. They also have to withstand the high pressure and low temperature of the deep sea. All these factors add weight and drag to the submarine, making it harder to accelerate and maneuver.

Submarines are also limited by their power source, which can be diesel-electric or nuclear. Diesel-electric submarines have to surface periodically to recharge their batteries using air-breathing engines, which reduces their speed and stealth Nuclear submarines can stay submerged for longer periods of time, but they also generate more heat and noise.

Despite their slow speed, submarines are still an important part of modern warfare and science.

They can carry out missions that other vehicles cannot do, such as attacking enemy ships or submarines, launching strategic nuclear strikes, protecting friendly ships or aircraft carriers, conducting covert operations behind enemy lines, exploring and mapping the ocean floor, collecting data and samples of marine life, water, rocks, and minerals for scientific analysis, recovering lost items from sunken ships or planes, or offering underwater sightseeing tours or rides to visitors. Submarines have changed the course of history and enriched our knowledge and culture.

IPDI Urges Ex-agitators, CSOs, Youth Groups to Take Caution over Nationwide Protest

The Ijaw Peoples Development Initiative (IPDI) has called on Niger Delta ex-agitators, civil society organizations (CSOs), and youths to withdraw from the planned nationwide protest. The organization cited concerns that common enemies are planning to hijack the protest, to cause fresh hostility to blackmails leaders of the region.

The move was uncovered following the campaign of calumny against the region by the common enemies who are interested in the pipeline surveillance jobs, citing that the region is seriously engulfed by Oil theft and high level of pipeline vandalism.

The statement which was signed by its National president, Comrade Ozobo Austin and Comrade Peter Luke, secretary stressed, "some common enemies want to use the protest as a medium to fulfil their evil plans to put the region in a conflict and more hardship. We must reject it and should not allow strangers and dubious people to turn our region into a battlefield", IPDI stated.

The group noted that the country is deeply undergoing a serious hunger, hardship and starvation but emphasised that the genuine intention of the national protest has been misplaced with ulterior motives by common enemies in Niger Delta, sponsoring certain groups to use the medium to cause fresh hostilities in the Niger Delta.

IPDI expressed worry that the protest could be exploited by external forces, resulting in violence and instability in the region. They emphasised the need for caution and restraint, urging stakeholders, youths , ex-agitators and civil rights groups to prioritise peace and dialogue.

Meanwhile, the organisation's statement comes as various groups prepare for the nationwide protest, scheduled for August 1-10. IPDI's appeal seeks to prevent potential chaos, and to protect the interests of the Niger Delta people.

IPDI's latest move was hopes to avoid any actions that might be detrimental to the region and its residents. They advocate for alternative channels of engagement, such as constructive dialogue, to address grievances and promote development in the Niger Delta.

Divert Public Funds and Go to Permanent Jail, President Tinubu Warns Local Government Chairmen.

The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), has warned local government council chairmen & councillors against diverting funds meant for their jurisdictions.

Speaking at an event in Abuja on July 25th, Fagbemi warned that anyone found wanting will be jailed. Recall that the Supreme Court on Thursday morning, July 11, granted financial autonomy to the 774 local governments across the country.

Fagbemi, who observed that local government chairmen may want to divert the funds amid state pressure, said: “Well, we have a situation on our hands, I know that it is still there; the conduct of elections is to be undertaken by the states.

But the distinction is this: don’t forget, the governors have immunity, the local government council chairmen or councillors, they have no immunity, so they have to choose between dealing with the funds of the local government as they like and risking going to jail.

Amnesty Boss, Dr. Dennis Otuaro Appeals to N'Delta Ex-agitators Not to Partake in Any Protest

..... Says Nigeria does not need a Nationwide protest now

Peaceful demonstrations to convey felt needs are rights enshrined in our nation's constitution, which also highlights ways and means by which such rights and dissents are disposed.

But are protests and demonstrations necessary at the time our national ecosystem is recovering from a grievous pandemic and the worst economic crisis since the great depression? I profoundly, with all sense of responsibility, do not think so.

In the apparently challenging circumstances this nation finds itself as it tackles headlong the triggers left unattended to in its 25 years of democratic practices, you would agree with me, that it is only germane that the present structural reforms put in place by the federal government, together with its many cushioning interventions are just the only way to get this nation out of the wood.

When the mandate to govern this nation was given to the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, you could recall he took it as a honor of a lifetime to serve in that capacity and immediately went to work to rebuild this county. We have as a result seen historic progress made in the area of clearing $16b about (18%) from the nations external debt, added $4b to the nations external reserves, cleared all forests backlogs owed to foreign airline operators, started the path to full local government autonomy to bring decision making closer to the people, the most essential victory of which was got at the Supreme Court, students loan to federal and state universities, and reliefs emergencies in liquidity and palliatives sent through the subnational governments in line with the federation principles.

Closing these yawning gaps together with the emergencies declared on oil and gas sectors where this government continues to bear the cost of variations in the unsteady fluctuations in the price of crude and its refined components, are critical to address balance of trade deficits, low manufacturing and production, producing to meet domestic demands, and decentralised aggregation and production network of small medium enterprises, which could mean the nation would earn forex and tax to pay back FG loans to meet capital and recurrent expenditures.

Given these strides and the almost visible signs of turning from the headwinds, I consider that the present attempt by the conveners of the August 1st protest to want to go ahead with their planned protest would be premature, counter productive, distractive and disuasive

Let's not lose sight of the fact that there are persons who when they look at Nigeria in its present path to economic recovery, what they see is carnage, despair and darkness. They spread fears and lies for profit and power. They daily pray that this government fail to justify their misplaced idiosyncrasies and the concomitant effect is the avoidable gaps where they take advantage of the short term difficulties to create artificial scarcity, price gouging, food and double digit inflation. They only seek to use our people to fund their plot having failed in previous successive attempt to destabilise the federal government.

There is the hope however that governmental interventions would slice through the double digit and food inflation and provide more abundant life for the teeming number of our citizenry.

Be that as it may, We can't soon forget how previous unhealthy demonstrations were hijacked and used to perpetrate unrest, properties worth billions of naira were destroyed, prison breaks became normative and very dangerous criminals were let back into society who soon became rapists, car jackers, kidnappers and killers. They foist back on society the very issues the present protest hope to achieve.

It is in this regard that I use this medium, as the Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) to appeal to all ex-agitators not to be part of any protests, and not to allow themselves to be used to settle political scores or be used to unleash destruction of government infrastructure.

In closing, I remember the words of the third century Greek philosopher Sextus Empiricus who said, "The mills of God grinds slow, but they grind exceedingly sure."

Taken from this, Let me say no radical surgery to remove a malignant tumor is pleasant ab initio, but once it is removed, it automatically impacts the quality of life of the index case.

This should provide a renewed source of hope for us as we look forward to a greater, bigger, and better Nigeria

Dr Otuaro, the Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme writes from Abuja

The Greed Called Bola Ahmed Tinubu And Why Dangote Must Be Axed!

When I saw the Malta 🇲🇹 NNPC comment by Dangote, I suspected there was more to it. Our group decided to investigate further.

Our discovery was deeply shocking.

Firstly I will breakdown the whole Oil theft process and how Oil exporting and importing business works here in Nigeria.

NNPC grants importation licenses to a select group of oil companies, which are responsible for importing petroleum products into the country. These companies set the prices for petroleum products, and the media often refer to them as "oil marketers."

We’ve another set responsible for exporting/selling unrefined petroleum products both locally nd internationally. NNPC nd few partner companies plays a major role in this sector, along with high-ranking govt officials, military leaders, & politicians who r involved in oil theft.

To better understand this thread i will briefly explain how oil exportation and importation works in Nigeria.

Please note every point I will list you will need them as reference as we progress, very important

1. Extraction: Oil is extracted from the ground using drilling rigs.

2. Processing: The crude oil is exported(internationally) to refineries where it is processed into refined products

3. Transportation: The processed oil are transported from the refinery to storage tanks, blending facilities, and ports, typically via pipelines or ships.

4. Export: At the port, the oil is loaded onto tankers or other vessels and shipped to Nigeria and other countries

5. Sale: The oil is sold to buyers in Nigeria at a price set by the importer (oil marketer). The government subsidizes a significant portion of the oil price to make it more affordable for citizens, a practice known as fuel subsidy.

Now let’s link the list together

Recently, Oando PLC announced the approval to acquire 100% of Nigerian Agip Oil Company. This effectively means that the Tinubu family now owns Agip Oil, which is part of Eni S.p.A., an Italian multinational oil and gas company.

Agip Oil operates 17 onshore oil blocks and produces 11 million barrels of oil and condensates annually, and it also manages the Bonny natural gas liquefaction plant. One might wonder why such a successful company would divest 100% of such a critical asset.

Observing similar situations, like the case with Dangote, suggests that this sale was not made lightly. Now, these crucial oil fields and plants in Nigeria are under the control of Tinubu through Oando PLC which is Tinubu’s family owned not even NNPC.

Stay with me please

Continuing, with their control over substantial oil reserves in the Niger Delta and the ability to explore further through Agip Oil, their next step is refining. Instead of building a refinery in Nigeria, they opted to construct one in Malta 🇲🇹.

This move allows them to exploit the country's resources and obscure their activities.

In early 2021, Enemed Co Ltd, the leading fuel supplier in Malta, issued a tender for the leasing of storage tanks and a blending facility at the Ras Hanzir Oil Terminal in Malta.

Ras Hanzir Oil Terminal Limited won the bidding. It is owned and operated by the Tinubu family, with Wale Tinubu, who is also the chairman of Oando PLC, serving as its chairman along with other members of the Tinubu family and their associates.

The company has already established a functioning refinery in Malta, they have now acquired the storage tanks and blending facility oil terminals, which were recently exposed to the public.

Stay with me please

After Tinubu was sworn in as president, his first major move was to announce the removal of fuel subsidy, while the government continued to pay in secret, allowing him to increase petroleum product prices. This move was designed to benefit his own monopoly.

With the recent forced acquisition of Agip Oil by Oando PLC, Tinubu as an individual has become the largest oil exporter, explorer, and marketer in the whole country, second only to NNPC.

Here’s the pattern: Tinubu, through NNPC, will sell Nigeria’s oil to himself at a low price via his company in Malta. He will also explore, extract and export oil using his newly acquired Agip Oil Company, which operates across the Niger Delta states of Ondo, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Imo, Abia, Akwa Ibom, and Cross River.

Tinubu will then buy back the refined oil from his company in Malta through NNPC and as an oil marketer via one of his companies OVH Energy (Oando) at a higher price and export them back to Nigeria.

This scheme an extraordinary level of financial exploitation

Even after he leaves office, and Nigeria remains without refinery which he will make sure of, his Oil Monopoly over the country will remain standing. As if that is not enough, the govt will still pay him for subsidy!

He sold Over 2 Billion Dollars worth of petroleum products to Nigeria through the Malta refinery just in 2023 alone, that’s an example of what the future of Nigeria Oil importation will look like.

That’s why he will fight the Dangote refinery with everything he has; if it becomes operational, his multi-trillion-naira oil monopoly enterprise will collapse.

The price of petroleum products like fuel will keeping increasing, while he still pays himself subsidy.

Considering his age, one might wonder what he needs all this money for, other than sheer greed. It's truly disheartening

The refined oil is sold to the Nigerian public at a high price, while the subsidy, although officially removed, is still being paid secretly. Essentially, Tinubu is paying himself subsidy.‼️

This Is Wickedness ....

Tompolo Appeals to Nigerians to Shelve Planned Protest, Cites Progress Under Tinubu

High Chief Government Ekpemupolo (Tompolo), Chairman of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, has urged Nigerians to cancel the planned nationwide protest scheduled for August 1-10, 2024. He believes that President Tinubu is working hard to address the economic hardship and that the protest's timing is inimical to the nation's interest.

Tompolo, also the Ibe-Ebidouwei of Ijaw Nation, acknowledged the citizens' right to protest but emphasised that the current economic challenges did not start with the Tinubu administration. He highlighted the administration's efforts to revamp the economy and address security concerns.

Tompolo warned that security reports indicate the protest might be hijacked by individuals with ulterior motives, causing more harm than good. He joined other patriotic Nigerians in appealing to the protesters to engage with the government to find lasting solutions to the country's problems.

He noted that the threat of protest has already achieved its aim, as President Tinubu had acknowledged the voice of prospective protesters. Tompolo's appeal follows similar concerns expressed by the National Security Adviser, governors, and top traditional rulers.

PAP: Gen. Abraham Expresses Confident on Otuaro's Leadership, Urges Hypocrites to Desist

Warri _____ The leader of Emadaja Camp and National Secretary of the Presidential Amnesty Phase 2 Generals under the National Chairman of Gen. Salvation Ibena, Gen. Abraham Vwaghie has re-emphasized his confidence in Dr. Dennis Burutu Otuaro led administration capacity to deliver practically in addressing the contending issues bothering the ex-agitators of the Niger Delta.

Gen. Vwaghie who was a former Niger Delta agitator but now a minister of God and the founder/General Overseer of the Divine Bethel Bible Church, Delta State make the remark on Friday in warri during a press briefing.

Speaking during the briefing, Vwaghie described Chief. Dennis Otuaro as a selfless and proactive leader who is always responding to complaints of ex-agitators.

He commended Otuaro for quick payment of stipends, visiting the schools of amnesty beneficiaries to know how they are living as well as visiting Amnesty liaison offices across the Niger Delta in order to educate the staff on right attitude towards work by always doing the right thing without compromise.

He noted that Otuaro has promised to empower all the Amnesty beneficiaries, the foreign scholarship students, vocational training and others would go back for their programmes. He also promised to start a refresher training so as to refreshing the minds of those already trained for long in order to empower them with statar packs.

Gen Abraham further urged those attacking Otuaro on the social media to table their grievances before the Administrator to address them amicably rather than towing the part of hypocrisy and pull him down syndrome that will take them nowhere.

He finally appealed to Niger Delta stakeholders, traditional rulers, clergymen and youth groups to standby Otuaro in prayers and otherwise, adding that he will not disappoint them for the assignment given to him based on his familiarity of the Programme.

A BRIEF COMIC RELIEF AT A BURIAL CEREMONY IN AFRICA

Mmm 😋😋 I attended a burial ceremony of my friend Grand mother yesterday but their tradition demands that at every burial ceremony an old man will come out and announce the next person to Die 😭😭

So this man came out and said the first person to leave the burial ground will be the next to Die..🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️ Since yesterday morning till now my people we are still at the burial ceremony .😥 even an elderly man that is more than 98 years is here asking me if my parents won't be looking for me at home ? Nobody wants to Die but Dreaming to Make Heaven While on Earth.. 🙆 🤣😂
