Benison At Vicissitudes.Specie one

Sojourner on the battlefield of freedom and oddyseys hardly fathom without empiricism.That deponent took him demulcent in the dendrology and the ecology of dendrology across enfilade of abeyance that may denude himself of the sarcastic denouement of the forest.Deplorable as it was that deportment of the eggshell Chinese deprecate and descry yet to be fermented broken navel of the whole enchilada of sadistic rampage.To abase the abhorrence , abjuration and excoriated misgivings for the aboveboard aborigines in the archipelagos of abscission and counterclockwise nozzle of abhorrence abnegation may not be far from the absinthe.They permitted the ambivalence the accusatory achromatic acerbity and the rumbles of ascetic achilleans so acoustic might acquiesce and bethink the betimes beyond the much belated betides of sunny drills .What adhesion to the adieu of bellicose misgivings in the jungle of despair with undiminished adjuration to regurgitate ?Not the sufferance to behooves that adoration admonishes admiration in the conceited ensconce of condescension.Behold for the adventure of adulterate to adumbrate animadversion  affirmative affix for the sacrilegious affront of broken gorge might set bethink the agglomerative affoot afire.The spectrum of casuistry so much wields a weapon that it sounds downright impossible to quash the nightmare of circumlocution embedded in the almanac of both allusion and delusion and much harder to dissuade the hallucinations of its alluvion in the circumstances of broken gorges.The alter of alterations and altercation nailed at the poser of contemptuous edge of the precipice seem potently at polar opposite at loggerheads with the altruism and deprecatory truism of the jungle.Verily indisposed to demarcate ambiguous altitude from the ambitious winces of oblivious folklores . Amorphous amperes of fortitudinous armour and etchinated ampersand in the tremulous anathema for the atrophy of unearthly anatomy and angelic anecdotes of the aliens from the elephantine mass of imponderable Cosmos.Anhydrous but angular animadversion besides,the coronation of self esteem and encomium of annalists might be decipherable should they annotate the anecdotes of broken gorge and not much for annouciation to do so beyond the garb of reinforced learning and introspection.They came down the ages'soar of anterior winces atavistic prowl ere antimundane and antediluvian.How much of mysticism in this enigma of boundless realm were they  supposed to know?Waow anthropomorphous anticlimax?Was that supposed to be the antidote for the retardation of bibliophiliac angelicals and antiphonize the antilogy of literatis?Moreso as so much antiquated miasma to endorse that scavenging of antiques for priceless curios from irredescent melange of antiquarians in their antipodes to unleash modern and post mordernity. Arborescent in their efflorescence of arboreal archaeology of fools, boloneys in their ensemble of disgruntled discourteous reprobates clueless dissidents dismembered with medula infractions and days of yore achromatic and wretched .Does the armada of artesian wells ever arraign ere the atrocious arrogators of arrant boloneys?Artless artifice of ambiguous ascension honed by ascetic and assiduous chemistry in the assonance of wit to assonate and assuage assymetrical tangled knots of astringent times.See that rambling of auburn wranglers and collegians seem to peruse the audacious and audible sagacity of the meandering plow.The auriferous momentum somehow austere in the aurora and auricular auspices of autocratic autarchy.Should they becalm and bedaub beyond the befogs of bedlam in their bonjour of bliss,what reprisal do we make of second chance?Sunny times arose from the north and all the colors of rainbow barely stooled at the sonorous feet as benison in the betimes of sunny times  o dropdead gorgeous benignance besmeared malignance beneath Davy Jones locker.Jones locker, unfathomable breeches of bedlam and brevity of maelstrom,a trademark and a signpost with so much bestiality bestrewed not their betrothed jetsams to bethink and bequest betrothal at bay more than the blazes and boors of desolate blithes.And lo of what good is freedom that it maybe fugitive in the alien land? Brigadiers of brimstones in their brogans raped hollow unforeseen storms and not the benison with cacophonous and cadaverous brotherhood rhythmic cadence of caitiffs sated with cadenza,callousity and cajolery to calumniate the candor and cantonment of justice where freedom could hardly find its morsel in the chaotic consignment at north sea.Viccisitudes in the cathodes of vintage oddyseys scare machupelahs away with cart-o-nine-tails to stampede lounge lizards beneath Jones locker .
Choleric growl of censorious chastity circumnavigation beyond the citadel of circumlocution and clairvoyance at your doorstep in the examplar and panache ado of adroit luminaries unfolded from the juncture of wilderness trysts.Coagulants as semantics in their colloquialism, metalanguage and codicils frogbound for the other shores.As they wailed they rejoiced the invasion of our promiseland.Did they suppose to invade their promiseland?Oh yes the road electifying elephantinous !
Forest leaves danced as the climate of the species.Glabrous leaves adorned mother earth stood elegantly on its stalk and passively hairy on the abaxial side closer to the leaf vein axils.Leaves'abaxial surfaces gone conspicuously restrained from dark green and maroon,glabrous and moderately. Floating leaves in the upper side morphologically abaxial poised to  face the stem axis.The forest farm fields were long and sheathing, undivided and narrow blessed with parallel veins with prickly leaf margins and abaxial midribs.Veins and interveins clearly demarcated not gone sleepy in the abaxial surface. Corperlike constantan thermocouple attached with porous adhesive tape attached to each leaf in the abaxial surface.Stomata was found and attached on the abaxial surface to critically assess the stomata density.Abaxial surface's nail varnish impression on every leaf's specie plastered in slides.The longest exceeds 1.3mm and that was central abaxial surface segment situated on abaxial surface of the lamina and from nail varnish replica of the abaxial surface stomata frequency was estimated at three points on every leaf . Subsequently mounted on the upper most and prior to being positioned in the scanning electron microscope was frozen.Often located on the lamina with the adaxial identity definition and it emerged 200million years ago after abaxial surface had been established.Subglabrous and eglandular  Adaxial surface covets sunlight as abaxial surface had scattered glands  in the primary and secondary veins.

Dangote Refinery part 2

I was scared of the huge size of Dangote Refinery in the same way,I was scared of his previous monopolies in sugar, cement and even stranglehold of stock exchange at some point where Dangote cement strangulated the stock market to control about 60 percent of market capitalization.I also complained at my alma matter the ikotun newstand about the inferior quality of his products such as cement,pasta,indomie etcetera.I thought I was the only Nigerians seeing this threat to the extent of socio-economic stability and we hardly feel not a change in our blast of complacency and defiance of insensitive behavior.I came across the statement by the Farouk Ahmed president of midstream and downstream petroleum regulatory authority (MDPRA) as shown in the above pics that Dangote Refinery products are much inferior at 650ppm -1500ppm when compared to imported fuel and most fuels in west Africa and also complained the Dangote Refinery at 45percent completed not yet granted license like Walter Smith.They claim by December Nigeria would become the net exporter of Petroleum products with the commencement of operation at warri and Kaduna refineries with port harcourt coming on stream in August.He noted Dangote directed all petroleum importers and marketers to stop importing petroleum and report at Dangote Refinery for the products .They lamented against the fact that Dangote Refinery would soon become a monopoly  and they cannot allow monopoly to strangulate everybody.
Monopoly besides local authority NNPC had observe unless federal government was forced to call international oil companies to order the Dangote Refinery maybe forced to crash .While NUPRC according to MDPRA ready to allocate sufficient crude to the refinery the international oil companies (IOCs)are frustrating the effort of NUPRC and local refineries like Dangote Refinery and maybe forced to close shop.I think Dangote monopoly is far better than the strangulation of IOCs exporting wealth to their metropolis and draining the local economy.Any iota of truth that the refinery is not completed and it's crude or refined petroleum inferior?Is this not a campaign of calumny or not better than the historic judgement of the supreme court?
Lastly why do we have evil people in this country who doesn't want Dangote Refinery to work and save us from the brigandage of the West turning our economy into dumping ground of all sorts including substandard and bad fuel? Dangote Refinery was 87 ppm and would soon come down to 10 ppm making it the best products in the world and he delivered speech before house of representatives to debunk the lies by regulatory agencies which had no testing lab and still brandished fake testing certificate.He said the testing certificate was fake.He advised them to take from the filing stations and also his refinery products and test to be able to the one that is fake.The advise was followed and Dangote said before the house that they have seen the truth themselves that his refinery produced the best fuel in the country.
In the most powerful interview ever done by professional on this burning ational project the economist Emanuel Kelviñ spoke extensively on sundry issues including te recently conducted laboratory test.He noted the similar studies that were done on total energy downstream was 1,887 part per million(ppm) for imported diesel into Nigeria.
  He lamented he didn't receive a single incentives from government.Dangote was crying of high interest rate there was nothing tinubu say or could do about it.He says interest rate of 30percent would cripple the refinery and send him out of business.I don't blame them because Dangote too has a dirty past and they see it as payback time against him .Be that as it may why do we love white people more than our own?Why can we stop 60 years of economic slavery and let Dangote be?Can you imagine he doesn't even have a license after spending $20b.in refinery business? Federal government has reduced their investment from 20percent to 7.9percent because he hasn't finish the refinery and until finishes they won't take up the full slot.We are the major problem of ourselves and enemies of our progress and we re truly lazy which is why saboteurs could have a field day.
There is no doubt that Farouk and the ilks were the real saboteurs and I was like crying when I read what Dangote said about his detractors who called him monopolist.I saw the post in my Instagram page.Hear him:..... everything I do is in the best interest of my country I can't take any property or asset or refinery to the grave.Take a look at the potential of the refinery according to kelvin Emmanuel on The Morning Show at Arise TV  about 49.4million liters of PMS on a daily basis,26million litters of diesel on a daily basis,12 million liters of jet A 1 on a daily basis,1.1million litres of kerosene on a daily basis,2.1million litters of base oil used for production of lubricants on a daily basis,he lamented why didn't they show interest to supply Dangote Refinery with feedstock?"Why is the government not happy to supply Dangote with Feedstock?"
In reply to the journalist on seat on the possibility of threat against vested interest kelvin replied Dangote Refinery would wipe out the importation business and also begin with the issue of testing globally in the midstream sector in general from the American testing standard for materials,European standard EN228,ASTM,D4814,the American environmental protection test, colonial test, American petroleum standard test.These are various test that ask for the octane number,mode of octane number the distillation in terms of surphur content and density and the test done in the Dangote Refinery lab produced 87ppm for diesel .The test that was done for total energy 's downstream produced 1827ppm for imported diesel and amative energy produced above 2,254ppm and he said his diesel is way far better than the one imported into Nigeria.He suggested they should recruit XGS as the most reputable gasoline testing firm in the world including PWC and KPMG to conduct another certification process for AGO and gasoline in the country if they like for another round of test as third party round Robin test for these products.In 2022 NNPC did what they called reserve based lending with afroexim and set up SPV,Lekki refinery plc through which they borrowed a billion dollars and they staked the forced sale agreements that was generated to invest in Dangote Refinery."Now in the shell purchase agreement there was a specific timeline in which they were supposed to pay the balance of that 20percent with total valuation of $2.7billion stake in Dangote refinery oil company .Now that stake was precedent on the refinery kicking off"and now the refinery kicked off and the refinery badly needed feedstock to function and NNPC did not pay off their stake in form of feedstock that translate into more than 20million barrels of crude oil.The feedstock of $1.7billion in today's market translate into 20.7million barrels .Why are they not paying with that feedstock?You will be shocked by what he said and when he said between 2019 to 2024  NNPC has borrowed about 12 billion dollars at afroexim and they staked about 250million barrels of crude oil as collateral in reserve based lending for that loan,I was almost shedding tears.Yet reneged on simple $2.7billion worth of stake after wasting $12billion ?I don't get it something is wrong with Nigeria.The most recent was project gazet and was widely criticized when they exchange 55,000 bpd for $3.4b.at about 11.85% interest rate,6% sulphur  ,5.85% country risk premium and they happen to pay for 55,000 BPD at the  $57 per barrel and due to this entanglement it could not provide Dangote with Feedstock because it's being doing direct sales direct purchase where exchange crude oil for companies appointed by NNPCL in exchange for PMS before the refinery came up and  has sold the future generations and future of Nigeria gradually impounding the crude oil under our feet and majority hardly knows.They Ve been using these companies appointed by NNPCL including Duke oil now NNPC trading for a long time to do this dirty deals considering that PMS constitute 43% of derivative when you refine a barrel of crude oil.NNPC cannot pay feedstock to Dangote of $1.7billion  due to the fact under the domestic crude oil supply obligation agreement crude oil is actually allocated at a discount of shell price 27% on the open market rate.They failed totally to supply feedstock beyond six million barrels supplied because of this entanglement and the company has to scaled down 20percent to 7.9% equivalent to their cash holdings contributed.
The illegal refineries in the niger delta was highlighted as lacking adequate infrastructure and they lack chamber,they lack hydrotreater that can refine the product in line with international best practices into globally accepted standard and it created black sooth or contaminated environment and carcinogenic impacting the people's health and well-being.There is a lot of impurities in the air in the country with polluted environment compared to cleaner environment overseas.The level of high sulphur content and low octane in the hydrocarbon products of the fake imported products damaging engines and vehicles in the country speaks volumes of the failure of the bike regulator which doesn't even have its own testing lab and still shamefully could not keep quiet and at least suffocate his own ignorance.
The economist did not agree the international oil companies should be blamed but NNPC and should not be separated.
Babafemi ojudu in the media tour of the refinery with his team said the investment was massive and noted he was already taking crude from external parties from Angola,Brazil and America as he once proposed due to frustration in Nigeria.He said the complex had 50,000 rooms for staff and 350 bridges with thousand of cranes already producing jet A fuel for the airlines and exploring to America etcetera.
The claim of monopoly and fake products was bloated and the allegations were put to rest in Dangote lab the first of its kind in subsaharan Africa and had said before not even Saudi Aramco had such world class testing lab.

 

A HISTORIC JUDGEMENT.part three

However in the aftermath of the historic judgement there was panic in many states where a staggering 437 local government councils in 19 states risk zero allocation beginning from this month of July  following the imminent suspension of their monthly allocation and the threat of caretaker committees can generate.The growth of systemic uncertainty seemingly pervades these lawless states still enforcing the illegal use of caretaker committees and lack of democratically elected councils.Any council that fails to comply will have their funds confiscated.The 19 affected states and 437 local councils include 23 local governments in Rivers states;27 in jigawa;21 in Anambra;14 in zamfara;23 in Benue State;20 in Bauchi; 17 in Plateau states;Abia has 17 councils guilty in this context too;34 in Katsina;17 in Enugu;18 in Cross River;23 in Sokoto;44 in Kano;17 in yobe state;18 in ondo state;30 in Osun ;31 in Akwa ibom;Imo State and kwara state 27 and 16 respectively.Luckily for Delta currently operates with 25 locally elected councils might escape the hammer.
I ask again does it make sense for federal government to renege on its own verdict? It is somehow too early to pass verdict and let's wait till 2027

A HISTORIC JUDGEMENT.part 2

In the statement issued by national publicity secretary of APC Felix Morka on Friday that the judgement "gives practical expression to constitutional recognition of local government councils as the third tier of government.It constitutes the single most significant stride towards restructuring Nigeria since its return to civilian democratic rule in 1999.
However the nigerian union of local government employees and association of local governments of Nigeria have advised the Nigerian financial intelligence unit to help track council funds and prevent diversion of funds common during Obasanjo era.Currently federal government receives 52.68% states 26.72% and local governments get 20.60% of the monthly FAARC allocation being distributed under the presidency and federal account allocation committee.
In May the attorney general of the federation and the minister of justice filled a suit against the 36 states of the federation on behalf of federal government for full local government autonomy predicated on 27 grounds .The attorney generals of the 36 states too in reprisal retaliated with filed objection to the suit instituted against them.Hence the supreme court however in the historic the local government autonomy was non negotiable.
There were pockets of doubt here and there as one reads through the dailies and net .From the voice of caution beginning from the president of NULGE Akeem Mbali despite the good standing by the supreme court however cautioned against disobedience to the historic verdict.
The case of Saturday Tribune was particularly interesting in an essay by Abiodun Awolaja who threw the worst bombshell since the historic judgement was delivered.In the essay Nigeria 's LGs:From Confusion to more Confusion,a paragraph hit like atomic bomb reading the inferno minded essay."I have learnt to embrace methodological skepticism when I see the federal government which typically disobeys court orders lauding judgements in this manner"Then he cited the case of Obasanjo regime when they had full control of the money but did nothing and we recorded no concrete development.To add my viewpoint but under Babangida era the money went directly into local government accounts and we witnessed massive development at the grassroots especially the local roads.Anyway I was so sad when I came across a recent video on social media in which Governor Makinde heavily criticized federal government despite the landmark judgement had begun to renege on the implementation of the historic judgement.He disagreed sharing of money was our problem but rather generation of money.Does it make sense for federal government to renege on the judgement?It is too early to pass verdict till 2027.

A HISTORIC JUDGEMENT.part one

The landmark verdict by the supreme court of Nigeria which granted full financial autonomy to the often marginalised third tier arm of local government opens a revolutionary dawn in the annal of the nation 's checkered antecedence and revived optimism of renewed historical reconstruction.The blogger examines the current issues of local government autonomy and related issues.Enjoy the reading.


We the people of the federal republic of Nigeria moved closer to political freedom although which we should not exaggerate but certainly is a step in the right direction to guarantee the practice of nation building with this elusive form of freedom.Government is closer to the people than ever before when the apex court granted full autonomy to the 774 local governments in the country as stipulated in the 1999 constitution as amended.In the unanimous decision añchored by 7 man panel concurred it is illegal,unconventional and unconstitutional for governors to control in act of defiance funds meant for local councils in their official state accounts.They no longer have the legal backing,locus standi and convention to receive and retain funds allocated to local governments in the State coffers.
In the lead judgement by apex court delivered by Justice Emmanuel Agim declared government powers is divided into three arms federal state and local government,that the local government must be democratically elected and election of caretaker committee no longer applies and absolutely illegal.
The all progressives party (APC) welcomed the lead judgement on Thursday and heaved a sigh of relief that affirmed the right of the local governments to receive their monthly allocation from federation account.Moreso as they equally saluted president Bola Ahmed Tinubu for backing the historic judgement.
