NIGERIA’S OIL SCANDAL: WHY MALLAM NUHU RIBADU MAY GO TO PRISON.

By Fr. Ken Evurulobi, President/Founder, MarysRose Organization, Aba, Abia State.

Arrogance. Despicable. Surprise. Shock. Embarrassment. Scandal. Shame. Insult. Narcissism. Ugly. Fatalism. Looting. Terrorism. These are the tags that have followed Alison Deziani Madueke’s comment, as reported in This Day Newspaper, November 2, 2012 in reference to the report submitted to Mr President by the Mallam Nuhu Ribadu led Presidential Task Force on Petroleum that “those calling for her removal are blackmailers”.

Frank, and straight to the point, since January 1, 2012, Nigeria has employed and fired four Petroleum Ministers in quick successions.

The first is Mrs Alison Desiani Madueke who was chased away by the event of a week-long mass protest on the streets of Lagos and Abuja for her cruelty, insensitivity, jezebelian attitude and draconian inputs to the plight of Nigerians. The organizers of that protest are still under severe persecution and blackmail by PDP.

The second is Mrs Alison Deziani Madueke, who, in principle, resigned her appointment as Nigeria’s erstwhile Honorable Minister for Petroleum after being indicted for corruption and gross misconduct during the period she presided over the Petroleum ministry in respect of the fuel subsidy scandal that has continued to rattle the Farouk Lawan House Committee on Petroleum .

The third is Mrs Alison Deziani Madueke who, prompted by her commitment to transparency and rule of law, has stepped aside so as to make room for Transparency International and the Nigerian Law Enforcement agents to do their job without hindrance knowing the role the oil portfolio plays in the Nigerian Economy.

Of course, the embattled immediate past Petroleum Minister, Mrs Alison Madueke has been replaced by a woman of easy virtue and expert manager of bedroom calmness Prof. Alison Deziani Madueke.

In as much as the newly appointed minister for Petroleum has promised to cleanse the oil industry and rid it of brigands, it is important to refer the other three former ministers and all those alleged to have looted the Petroleum funds to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC. And to avoid it going the James Ibori way, it is required that the necessary steps that will facilitate the process be put in place.

But from the patriotic circle where Ribadu comes from, and because of the PDP factor, fears are heightened about the would be outcome of the Petroleum Task Force’s indictment of the immediate past Petroleum Minister by the anti-corruption czar, Mr Nuhu Ribadu.

The NNPC does not belong to Nigeria. For long, it has become a private company owned and efficiently managed by the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP. And so, unlike the intimidation of Miss Oteh by Ndi Okereke Onyeuche’s Nigerian Stock Exchange, a Mr Oteh is on the road to prison. This is because, at stake since January, is not the sanitization of the oil industry and greater transparency in the management of resources but the subtle conscription, censorship and, or total silencing and summary execution by PDP of all institutions, groups, persons and channels that know and have access to the documents, evidential facts and links about the Oil Deal.

The Oil Deal (Visit http://saharareporters.com/blog-entry/my-story-rev-fr-kenneth-evulurobi-c-why-they-want-me-dead)simply means that no legitimate transactions in crude oil and its allied products can take place unless as dictated and controlled by the I or the UNION and their proxies for the simple reason that PDP runs a huge budget. Therefore, “GUARDS” (Police, military, task force) are employed to keep them in check, or, alternatively “JOBS” (militancy, thuggery, vigilante) are given to them to keep them busy. The “QUESTIONS” (national and regional agitations) are not meant to be given any sincere attention for the very reason that any sincere attention would bring about substantial changes in the polity. Instead, “REVIEW” (bringing up the questions for them to be debated upon, over and over again) of the questions is what takes place so as to calm the agitating nerves, otherwise they will spoil things and cause confusion. Original and authentic agitators are systematically disarmed, caged and eventually ‘KICKED-OUT”. Those who usurp the functions, authority, power, position and vacancies other than what the 1, the UNION or the PARTY allocated or assigned to them are always “KICKED-OUT” or are dealt with in an “OFFICIAL” (public prosecution) way or are made to face “MURDER’ charges, or, if they are immune from all these, their “OBITUARY” (notice of death brought about by a very complex and unbelievable action) is announced, or a “TORCH” (legal monitoring and investigation) is beamed on their activities with a view to implicating them even if the facts and evidence have to be manufactured. To sustain the “VISION’ and serve it from contamination and ecipse, whoever claims to be a ‘WINNER” in an Election is to be “X-RAYED” (a thorough scrutiny of the winner’s antecedents with a view to ascertaining whether he/she poses a danger to the VISION) using the Electoral Tribunals. ‘Eunuchs’, ‘Eunices” and “Zealots” that greatly appease the ‘I’, irrespective of their moral standing and qualifications, are marked ‘Y” for favors and promotion, while those that greatly displease him are marked ‘X” for severe punishment or “a reduction to the zero point”,(that is, abysmal wretchedness and disgrace, not excluding elimination). To save the ‘KINGDOM” (Nigeria as envisioned, controlled and ruled by the I, the UNION and PARTY) from collapse, the need for “UNITY” is always emphasized using an “OBASANJO” (a formidable personality that appears credible and acceptable). But such a person must undergo strong “REFORMS” (hammering the personality into shape so that he falls in line with the ‘VISION’ of the ‘I’, and his “other-selves’ by placing “friendly” spies around him as strong influences; by an act of subtle blackmail; and by cutting him-off from and making him into a powerful enemy of people who will “infect’ him with anything that will “poison” his mind against the I, the “UNION’ and the “PARTY”). Institutions, parastatals, boards, industries, media houses that pose serious threat to the interests of the I, the UNION and the PARTY are to be set on ‘FIRE” (total disorganization, dissolution and bankruptcy). If ‘REGIONS” (persons, associations, groups including political parties that have very powerful interests that pose serious threats to the I, the UNION and PARTY but which cannot be ignored nor silenced without evoking greater danger to the I, the UNION and PARTY) arise, ‘KILLINGS” (internally and consciously generated strife, chaos, rancor, infighting, violence, etc) are initiated in order to disorganize them. Institutions, parastatals, boards, industries, media houses that are committed to these interests are giving “PROTECTION”.

Strong “DEFENSE” must be built around the decisions and interests of the I, Union and Party. These decisions and interests of the I, the Union and Party as well as the means and ways of achieving them is the “CONSTITUTION’. The most effective ways to generate Fire is to use the ‘FRATERNITY’ (other secret cults like student cults, AMORC, Pseudo-islamic sects, pseudo-churches, especially Pentecostals) and then ‘HEAL” (infiltrate and take over the control of the Fraternity so as to demobilize ,distract and rebuild it to fall in line with the Vision. Huge resources are deployed towards this) it. As far as the I, Union and Party are concerned, the only real “LABOUR” (hardwork, selfless dedication and total commitment) that has value and attracts the best remuneration is to work for the “I” in whose “MEMORIAL” (name), “POWER” is given to man to rule the “CAPITAL” (elective offices – the Presidency, Governorship, Senate, Houses of Representatives and Assemblies, Chairmen and Councilors). “MEMBERS” who are wounded in the struggle to serve and promote the “VISION” (not those who are wounded out of their disobedience and foolishness) are bandaged neatly and taken good care of so that their wounds can “heal” (juicy contracts, appointments, opportunities, etc).In Nigeria, the “I” hides behind the “NORTH” when attacked while others elsewhere in the world hide behind powerful interests in their respective domains(Globally, the 666 hides behind the United Nations(UN),OPEC,NATO,AU etc. These organizations were not originally designed to achieve and propagate the Vision but have rather been hijacked and repositioned along this line.)

These are the “vocabularies” in PDP. This is the only “language” PDP speaks and “understands”. The I, the Union and the Party speak this language more “fluently”. This language “flows” like electric currents in the veins and arteries of the I, the Union and the Party. It is their ‘Blood’. It is the language of POWER. These are the people to whom power belongs. They are the new owners of Power Holding Company of Nigeria. So long as PDP speaks this language fluently and understands it correctly, it possesses a very big, lasting and unchangeable complete VICTORY over infidels and animals that mistake themselves for human beings.

And if there is any person who knows and have access to these documents about power and petroleum transactions in Nigeria, it is Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, the confident anti-corruption czar and erstwhile Chairman of Economic Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC who, shortly before he was booted out by the desperation of James Ibori, “had carried out investigations that were very close to the former President, Chief Mathew Olusegun Obasanjo” who held the oil portfolio for eight years without accounting for any kobo.

Thus the administration of President Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan should be ready to make the necessary adjustments and manage any eventuality that may come as a result of this PDP power shuffle. To convince the Niger Delta warlords that it is not a Niger Delta affair is a herculean task. But suffice it to mention that the whole of the Niger Delta has been messed up, destabilized and greatly distracted.

With the submission of that report, Mr Nuhu Ribadu has submitted and completely hands-off every fact, evidence and information he has about corruption in the oil industry. Consequently, PDP has extracted Ribadu’s surrender on the fight against corruption. And he cannot make statements about this again without reference to PDP spy dogs at the Presidency. The rest may go the Newswatch way– stories, regrets and blames. This is exactly what the Doyin Okupe propaganda has set out to achieve.

And to seal that PDP victory, Nuhu Ribadu is already on the fast lane to prison. Before anyone can catch up with the realities on ground, it would be too late for the anti-corruption chief. And his security may have to be traded for a reconciliation with and release of Mr. James Ibori from his estrangement in a U.K prison. Thus, after the scenario has played out, we are back to just where we started with Yar’dua.

Bola Tinubu is neither Ribadu’s mentor nor a benefactor, not even a friend. Tinubu – the Master Strategist of the Western Hemisphere - is Ribadu’s hang-man yet to emerge from the blues.
