Oil bloc: We’ve not sighted any memo directing OML 11 take over – NNPC

By Daniel Adugbo

AgegePulse Magazine

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) said it has not seen any letter or memo from the Presidency instructing it to take over the operatorship of the entire OML 11 from SPDC, a local arm of Anglo Dutch oil major, Shell.

A memo had surfaced on Wednesday on  social media purported to have been signed by Abba Kyari, the Chief of Staff to the President, dated 1st March 2019 with a reference number SH/COS/24/A/8540 asking NNPC to take over the oil asset.

According to the memo, President Muhammadu Buhari has directed “NNPC/NPDC to take over the operatorship, from Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC), of the entire OML 11 not later than 30 April 2019 and ensure smooth re-entry given the delicate situation in Ogoniland.”

But NNPC spokesman, Ndu Ughamadu, told our reporter on Thursday afternoon that the NNPC was not in the know of such letter and could not make further comment on what it had not seen.

OML 11, said to be owned by four Joint Venture (JV) partners, lies in the southeastern Niger Delta and contains 33 oil and gas fields of which eight were producing as per 2017.

In terms of productiont, it is one of the most important oil blocs in Nigeria.
While NNPC owns 55 percent stake, Shell, the operator of the oil bloc has 30, Total 10 and Agip 5 percent.

 “NNPC/NPDC to confirm by 2 May 2019 the assumption of the operatorship,” the memo further directed.
An SPDC spokesperson, Bamidele Odugbesan, declined comment when contacted on phone.

In the oil industry, an operator is typically the owner of the right to drill or produce a well. The operator will have the largest financial stake in the development of the project and will typically enjoy the largest share of profit.

Lagos, Kebbi, 16 Others Are Largest Rice Producing States As Nigeria Becomes Largest Rice Producer In Africa

From Nigeria being the world’s second largest rice importer years back, the narrative appears to have changed as the country continues to take steps to ramp up domestic production.

According to a recent report, Nigeria has overtaken Egypt as the largest rice producer in Africa. The Director-General, Africa Rice Center, Benin Republic, Dr Harold Roy-Macauley, who disclosed this, said Nigeria is now the largest rice producer at four million tonnes a year. Egypt was producing 4.3 tonnes annually but the country’s production had reduced by almost 40 per cent this year. Africa produces an average of 14.6 million tonnes of rough rice annually, he explained.

Indeed, the remarkable achievement recorded by the country in the area of rice production, as disclosed by Roy-Macauley, was the outcome of robust collaboration between the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, that focused on areas in the agriculture sector where the country has comparative advantage, in their quest to drastically reduce the country’s huge import bill.

A report by Lagos-based CSL Stockbrokers Limited showed that the central bank and the federal government have been making substantial efforts to encourage domestic cultivation of rice and to completely eliminate imports using incentives such as subsidised loans, cheap fertilisers, free farm land, and tax rebates.

Presently, the CBN has restricted importers of 43 items, which included rice, from accessing dollars from the interbank market and bureaux de change. Also, other fiscal policies are making it increasingly unfavorable for the importation of rice. Rice imports through land borders are restricted, while imports that come in through the ports attract sizeable import duties and levies.

Currently, 18 states are reputed as reliable rice producers in the country. They include Kebbi, Benue, Ebonyi, Ekiti, the Federal Capital Territory, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano and Katsina.

Others are: Lagos, Nasarawa, Taraba, Kogi, Zamfara, Ogun, Niger, Kwara and Sokoto.

Clearly, these policies have led to a decline in imports and have resulted in significant rise in the price of imported rice.

Also, the CBN through its Commercial Agriculture Credit Scheme (CACS) as well as its Anchor Borrowers’ Programme (ABP) has continued to support genuine local rice manufacturers, in line with its development finance function.

Must Read: Hon. Temitope Sugar: His Rise And Fall

I advised him but he failed to listen.

AgegePulse Magazine

Sugar was an average handsome guy when he gained an admission into FCE. He dropped out from one poly in Ibadan due to threats to his life.

He had this natural charms of likeness. Gentle and cool dude. Then he was an innocent guy.

His trouble started when he was aspiring for the Sug post. He was bursted like 3 times before withdrawing from the elections.

George scar face, Alfa, Gideon and his friends were the reigning Champion in Camp/Osiele axis.. Asa and his crew controlled Obantoko side.

After the Sug elections, he wanted revenge and power by all means. He met with his friends on how to achieved that and they decided to join OPC. The founding members then were Sugar, Hans, Afisu, Baba Imole, Wale from Yewa.

Initially his aggression was about hunting those who hunted him ( Cults) but then he started getting supports from the indigenes cos they were all tired of the cultist activities.. You don't wanna come across George scar face, whether broad day or night.

After 2 years of reigning, Students had an encountered with the indigenes( during masquerade festivals). Sugar led the war against the indigenes he perceived as an enemy ( First terrible mistakes). He won the war but at the same time lost the supports from the indigenes.

One way or the other, he got in contacts with the then Ogun governor, Ogd ..He was appointed as a supervisory councillor in Odeda local government before being appointed as a special adviser at the state level in Ogun ( Ogd killer squads) in collaboration with Ologbowon, Ozogula, Bukky Boy and co.

Later he got into trouble with some cultists ( Politically), He dropped Bukky boy, Ay and others..

Students, Indigenes and cultists were fed up with his atrocities, they renegated against him and he was bursted, lucky for him, he escaped. He relocated to Ibadan for 1 year or so before staging come back ( Influence of money).

He continued with his atrocities as he was too powerful to to be confronted . After years of terrors, he relocated back to Ibadan . He contested for state assembly in 2011 and won. In 2015, he contested for House of reps representing Lagelu/Akinyele and also won.

His recent trouble started when he lost Apc senatorial primary under Apc. He decamped to ADP to further his ambitions.

Sugar was one of the major factors of Ajimobi current political irrelevance in Oyo state ( More like a finger that fed you cos he Sugar was instrumental to Ajimobi governorship 2011-2018)

He knows too much, he reigned too much, probably aspiring for Oyo governorship in 2023.

Even though stories of how he was shot are still sketchy, but they all have one thing in common, he was shot in the face.

So Sugar could be shot, bullet could be penetrated, and he couldn't disappeared.. Hmmmmm .. I have seen him in life actions with just irukere on his hand. His message to the guy shooting at him, your bullet will soon finish ( Life and real).

Indeed in life, karma is a bit.ch. I may see him as a big brother ( Saved and helped me several times) but never supported his thuggery life.

Without politics or thuggery, Sugar was supposed to be naturally successful cos he was a smart guy and a very good leader.

Happy or Sad? I am undecided.. May be a revenged for an innocent school mates ( Ojuoluwa). The guy was butchered from head to toe including his pe.nis because of my sins ( An article written by me then advising him, Sugar to take things slowly but the poor innocent guy was mistaken as the writer .

Sygar was a good man but at the same time , deadly to the community.

A big lesson to the youths. Nothing last forever( even grace of God if not well managed, it will fade as well ( as we can see).

If you live by the swords, you die by the swords

I ran mad after wearing pant my boyfriend bought for me - Nigerian lady narrates ordeal

AgegePulse Magazine

An unsettling case has been brought to the attention of police command in Ikeja. According to the victim identified as Rachel Godwin, she was used for money rituals by her boyfriend after he forced her to wear a certain pant.

 It was gathered that Rachael, who works at National Orthopeadic Hospital, Yaba, ran mad after wearing the pant given to her by her boyfriend, Olumide. Godwin, had confessed to meeting Olumide during a BRT ride to Ikeja. After which, they became friends and later became lovers. Their love affair was problematic as Rachael confessed to using her savings to make life comfortable for Olumide.

However, he never appreciated any of her efforts as he plotted to using her for rituals.


 Her statement read: “I met Olumide in a BRT bus going from Ikorodu to Ikeja. On the day, he directed me on how to get to the police headquarters during which we exchanged contact.

We kept in touch for a while and he later told me he had Gonorrhea disease, which I treated him. “We became close and then lovers. I guess he must have hypnotized me such that I really don’t know what I was doing then. I gave him my entire savings.

He even lodged in a hotel for four months and I paid a bill of N185,000 at Ketu Kosofe. “He later took me to his father at Ikosi. They live in a very unhealthy environment, which I pitied them and offered to help.

I rented a house for myself in November 2018 and he visited me in the house that same month. On December 12, when he visited me, he said he wanted to buy a Venza, I asked him how much and when he googled it, he said it was N11.8 million. I asked him how would he raise the money and he said we should open a joint account. I took my house document to get a loan and even promised to gather all I had from my cooperative bank account.

My trouble started on December 14, 2018, when he came to my house and gave me a pant to wear. I told him that I can’t wear the pant because I was not comfortable. He went to call one of my neighbour named Helen who helped him to force me to wear the pants. After which I ran mad and was taken to my mother’s house. They took me to Ibadan for treatment and I became better.

“I did not suspect him then. I kept relating with him. On December 31, I went to a church for Thanksgiving. I was given some prayers to follow up every midnight. He came back to me and was still living with me. While I was praying in January, Olumide started shouting, stop praying they have wired the money, it is only $2,000 from Alaska in USA.”

How RRS Arrests Leader of Fake Dollar Group Operating in Agege, Ogba Axis

AgegePulse Magazine

Operatives of the Lagos Rapid Response Squad (RRS) have arrested one Osuji Chibuzor, 42, the leader of a four-man fraud syndicate operating in Ikeja, Ojota, Ojodu, Berger, Ogba, College Road and Agege axis after his group had swindled a 34-year-old lady of the sum of N165,000.

The suspect, whose role in the gang was to prophesy to victims after being lured into one of their offices at 8, Afolabi Street, Iju Shaga and 7, Salami Street, Oko Oba, Agege, using fake dollars and the promise of great wealth to entrap such victim.

Osuji explained that his gang members - Frank, Stella and Emeka who are still at large - embark on daily trips to lure suspects, whom they would have tricked into their dollar making scam, adding that thereafter he is invited as a pastor to pray for the victim.

He revealed that in the process of praying for the victim, he would start requesting money for anointing oil, chemicals for the washing of the money and other charges.

The suspect, who claimed that he joined the fraud gang three years ago due to frustration, stated that “Although there are many gangs that operate in the axis my gang has only four members. We operate in Agege, Ogba, College Road, Ojodu Berger, Ojota, Ikeja, Alausa and Ifako-Ijaiye. I collected N120,000 from the victim while my colleagues also withdrew N45,000 from her ATM”.

The 34-year old victim who did not want her name in print noted that she boarded a private taxi in Ojota to Ojodu Berger, saying “We were still in Oregun when the driver picked another passenger. It was at this point that they started their trick”.

“I ended up in their office in Iju, where they collected all the money on me including the one in my account. They made me swear to an oath never to inform anyone. Thereafter, Osuji requested that I should go raise another N60,000 to complete the ritual”, she stated.

She narrated further that “After collecting N165,000 they still would not let me rest. I borrowed N60,000 being the balance of what they needed. I was on the way to hand it over to them when I regained my consciousness. Luckily for me, with the assistance of a patrol team of RRS men, I was able to lure him out of their office before getting him arrested”.

Reacting to the arrest, the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Zubairu Muazu directed his men to continue to comb every part of the State especially the black spot areas along the axis for the arrest of other gang members as soon as possible.

LAGOS STATE PRESIDENTIAL RESULT: THE DANGER AHEAD FOR APC

By: Shakiru Seidu

*APC-580 814*
*PDP-448 016*

_Difference: *132 798*_

_The APC Political Leaders,_

AgegePulse Magazine

Apparently, this result recorded by the All Progressives Congress at the February 23 Presidential Election is nothing to write home about. The performance was very poor to compare with the 4 million votes APC targeted. Many of the APC supposedly strong Politicians are not that strong afterall. They are riding on the past glory.

They built their strengths on the popularity of the APC National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. The ability to canvass for votes is not at equilibrium point, compared with the sagacity of Tinubu when it comes to winning souls.

Many of his subordinate politicians are not doing what were expected of them. Instead, they relied on the pretext of Asiwaju. They are not good and sociable in their communities. They are less concerned about what is happening in their vicinity.

They even frustrated some active members because they belong to another caucus. Their leadership know-how is weak, self-centred and hid under the ego of the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. APC should encourage more of grassroot politics. The outcome of the presidential election has showed that politics is local and the people cannot be taken for a ride.

The idea of *"Asiwaju has pronounced"* should be minimal. The voters are not too pleased about the statement. Hence, they see APC as one man's show, others are not important in the whole process.

The grassroot politicians now play their balls to the court of the National leader's decision, leaving behind the interests of the voters. We now played politics horizontally not vertically, whereas, it has to be played both vertically and horizontally to achieve desired result.

This might affect during the Governorship and Assembly elections next Saturday. Don't forget that voters are more than politicians in terms of population.

My advice is that APC should buckled up for the next elections. This presidential result should not be relied upon. Let us work for the Party so that the margin will be more than this.

We’ll shock APC, resist violence, voter suppression — Agbaje

AgegePulse Magazine

The Lagos State governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Jimi Agabje, has challenged the ruling All Progressives Congress to be prepared for resistance in the event of violence in the March 9 governorship election.

Agbaje, in a series of videos posted on his verified Twitter account on Friday, decried the violence reported at several polling units across the state during the presidential and National Assembly elections last Saturday.

He said he had visited some areas affected by voter suppression and violence, adding that it was understandable why some Lagosians were disappointed, angry or afraid.

He said, “Undoubtedly, what played out last weekend was a clear violation of the social contract between the government and its citizens. Every Nigerian has a fundamental right to life, civil liberties and right to vote among other things.


“So, when you have a situation where thousands of people are put in harm’s way just because they choose to exercise this right while the government turns a blind eye, it has broken that contract.


"Last week, the oppression was at the polling station. This week, businesses were threatened. Tomorrow, God forbid, it could extend to our homes. The only way for us to stop this tyranny is to vote out the tyrants."


Agbaje commended Lagosians who, according to him, took the time and effort and made sacrifices to ensure that their votes counted, adding that sitting the coming election out was not an option.


“Let Lagosians have their say in peace. To everyone that has a stake in the commonwealth in the Lagos, irrespective of your tribe, political affiliation or religion, I say rise up. Rise up for Lagos. Use your vote. It’s your voice; it’s your right. See you at the polls.”

Tinubu threatens Lagos APC chairman, party chieftains with sack

AgegePulse Magazine

The National Leader of the All Progressive Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has expressed his disappointment at the result posted by the ruling party in Lagos State in last Saturday’s Presidential and National Assembly, blaming it on the party chieftains in the state.

At the presidential election held last Saturday, APC in Lagos polled over 580, 825 votes, a far cry from the three million votes Tinubu promised President Muhammadu Buhari in the run up to the election while the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Abubarkar Atiku, scored 448,015.

Seething with anger on account of the result, the former Lagos governor at the campaign office of Babajide Sanwoolu, in GRA Ikeja, on Thursday met with the party chieftains among whom were its chairman, Tunde Balogun, the governorship candidate himself, Sanwo-olu, and other members of the Governor’s Advisory Council, GAC, including Prince Tajudeen Olusi, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro,   Dr. Yomi Finnih, and Sanwo-olu’s running-mate, Dr. Femi Hamzat.

At the meeting ahead of March 9 governorship and State Assembly election, Tinubu threatened fire and brimstone if the result fell short of his expectation saying he won’t spare any of the chieftains.

His word, “Please, don’t praise me, I don’t need your praises, after the poor performance you all put up at the presidential and National Assembly elections in the state.

“It showed that most of the chieftains and council chairmen did not mobilize the grassroots after all the support from the party.

“I will not condone this act any further. Party leaders and council chairmen who fail to perform to expectation at the next governorship and House of Assembly polls on March 9, should be ready to resign or face the music.

“We have over three million registered APC members and yet the performance last Saturday was poor.

“The chairman of the state party, (Babatunde Balongun) should know that his position is not a permanent one. If he fails, he will have to go too.”

He condemned the election while addressing party supporters on Wednesday in Abuja, the nation’s capital.

Atiku, who rejected the outcome of the poll, said even the military government conducted a better election than the one conducted by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on February 23, 2019.

“As I have always said, this year is my three decades in Nigeria’s struggle for democracy; but this is the worst election in those 30 years,” he said.

“And I told that to General Abdulsalami (Abubakar) two nights ago, when he called me. I said not even the military has conducted such a worst election.”



The PDP candidate alleged that there were a lot of irregularities in the election which saw President Muhammadu Buhari extend his stay in the Aso Villa by another four years.

He highlighted the cases of violence recorded in some states, as well as the alleged inflation of votes in the strongholds of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Despite his loss in the election, Atiku insisted that he was confident of victory and vowed to challenge the President’s victory.

He also told his supporters not to lose hope and asked foreign investors to be patient with the nation, saying he was on the quest of reclaiming his mandate.

The PDP candidate said, “Let me start by thanking you all for choosing democracy as a certain system of government for our great nation. As you all know, democracy is a government of the people by the people only when the people’s choice prevail.”

“This is a long journey, but I am confident of victory. All hope is not lost; stay strong, by the grace of God we shall triumph,” he stated.

Read Atiku’s full speech below;

Dear citizens of Nigeria,

Let me start by thanking you for choosing democracy as the settled system of government for our great nation.

Democracy is a government of the people by the people, only when the people’s choice prevails. That did not happen on Saturday, February 23, 2019.

On Election Day, we saw the implementation of grand theft of the people’s will. I am not one for hyperbole so I will just let the facts speak for themselves.



In Akwa-Ibom for instance, the results showed a statistical impossibility of a 62% drop in voter numbers from the 2015 elections even where voter registration and PVC collection rates were much higher than in 2015.

This pattern was repeated in strongholds of the Peoples Democratic Party, including in Delta, Rivers, Abia and Benue states.

As this was occurring, we saw another statistical impossibility wherein voter turnout and numbers increased astronomically in Borno State by an almost miraculous 82% in the midst of increased insecurity.

This pattern was also repeated in other strongholds of the All Progressive Congress.

One begins to ask if insecurity is conducive to higher voter turnouts and security is antithetical to high voter turnout.

It is further curious that the Peoples Democratic Party’s margin of victory in states outside the Southeast and South-south were extremely slim across board. That again is a statistical impossibility.

The fact is that when you calmly look at the numbers declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission as results of the February 23, 2019 elections, they do not add up.

Let me say that I am not speaking as a member of the Peoples Democratic Party. I am speaking as a Nigerian when I say that the electoral fraud perpetrated by the Buhari administration this past Saturday cannot produce a government of the people for the simple reason that it does not reflect the will of the Nigerian people.

It is for this reason that I, Atiku Abubakar, reject the results declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission declaring Muhammadu Buhari as duly returned by the majority of lawful votes.

I am conferring with not just my party, but also with the Nigerian people, on next steps, which will be revealed to the public shortly.

For my fellow Nigerians who feel angry, disillusioned, and let down by the process, I appeal to you to remain calm and steadfast. Rome was not built in a day. We have the real figures, we have the facts that were spoken so loudly on Saturday, February 23, 2019.

This is a long journey, but I am confident of victory. All hope is not lost. Stay strong, by the grace of God we shall triumph. 

And to investors and friends of Nigeria now pulling out of Nigeria, I urge you to be patient and keep faith with the Nigerian people. Your quarrel is not with the Nigerian people. Your quarrel is with those who stole their mandate. Please do not punish the people by divesting from Nigeria.

Thank you all and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI ON THE OUTCOME OF FEBRUARY 23, 2019 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS

My Dear Nigerians,


            First and foremost, I give thanks to Almighty God Who has spared our lives to witness another victory for Nigerian democracy and victory for our party APC.


2.        I thank the millions of Nigerians who voted to re-elect me as your president for the next four years. I am deeply humbled and profoundly grateful to you for judging me worthy of continuing to serve you and for your peaceful conduct.


3.        In particular, I would like to thank Asiwaju Bola Tinubu for his masterful leadership as Co-chair of the Campaign Council. I would like to also thank the Party Chairman Adams Oshiomhole, the Director General of the Campaign Council Rotimi Amaechi, all members of the Presidential Campaign Council and other various Support Groups.



4.        My grateful thanks to all those who contributed to the logistical expenses of the campaign in such a vast country like Nigeria.



5.        I also thank the millions of volunteers, self-appointed overseers, canvassers, agents, escorts and sentries who sacrificed so much of their time and resources to ensure the success of these elections. I do not have the words adequate to thank them.


6.        Although Saturday’s elections were relatively peaceful, troublemakers in a handful of states attempted to disrupt an otherwise orderly process. Security agencies will bring to justice all those arrested in the process.



7.        I am very sad at the grievous loss of lives during these elections. Security agencies will step up their efforts to protect voters in the forthcoming State elections.

8.        I would like to commend our security agencies, as severely overstretched as they are, for handling the difficult task of securing the country during the election period.


9.        I will like to make a special appeal to my supporters not to gloat or humiliate the opposition. Victory is enough reward for your efforts.


10.      We give thanks also to our Domestic and International observers for contributing to the success of our elections and for their interest in our country and our developing democracy.



11.      The new Administration will intensify its efforts in Security, Restructuring the Economy and Fighting Corruption. We have laid down the foundation and we are committed to seeing matters to the end. We will strive to strengthen our unity and inclusiveness so that no section or group will feel left behind or left out.

12.      I thank you for your support and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria
