The House of Representatives on Thursday passed a resolution to probe an alleged spending of N10bn by the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, to charter and maintain a jet for her personal use.
The resolution indicated that the minister spent 500,000 Euros or N130m monthly to maintain the aircraft in the last two years.
“Thus, in the last two years, the minister has committed at least N3.120bn to maintaining the private jet, which is used solely for her personal needs and those of her immediate family, which is an appalling act”, the sponsor of the motion, Mr. Samuel Adejare, told the House.
He alleged that other “wasteful” costs associated with the minister’s frequent trips with the jet were “currently estimated at N10bn, which include payment of allowances to the crew for trips, hanger parking and rent based on the lease agreement.”
The All Progressives Congress lawmaker from Agege Federal Constituency in Lagos State, argued that, at a time of dwindling resources, it was a “breach of public trust” and “impudence” for a government official to fly “all over the world, obviously for leisure.”

What! All these monies to mantain private jet! What sort of private jet is that? If I may ask, why does a Minister need a private jet in the first place? The way these so called leader are squandering the nations wealth is becoming unbearable.

DeleteIt is unbearable oh. I cant take it anymore. I demand for her head on a wooden plate.
DeleteMean spiritedness and excessive greed, judgement is coming

ReplyDeleteAll these 'thieves' we call government. its so appalling the way they squander our money. see them mentioning millions and billions like its kobo.
ReplyDeleteits saddening that the people of dis dear nation are suffering and here we have someone spending millions of naira on a jet monthly and spending over N10 billion in just 2 years. This is just not fair....These people dont have d fear of God in them.
Anytime i think of my beloved country ehn, I just become angry and speechless. I weep and pray for Naija

ReplyDeleteWell stella oduah was eventually sacked longggggggg after the probe
Diezani? Hmnnn......the woman has jona clenched in her palms.
Let's see the outcome of nothing from this probe.
Btw,Stella Oduah is still running things in aviation industry o!some guys tot they could switch loyalties since she is no more in office got the shocker of their lives when they also got their own sack letter first thing this monday morning.bottom power is real and endless!lol!
DeleteAbeg!
ReplyDeleteMadam Diezani, if this is true then you shld be sacked ASAP.Heartless leaders.
ReplyDeleteThe sack of this woman is long overdue, since our leaders can't resign from office out of respect from their personalities when they are connected to any scandal, then they should be sacked while investigations are ongoing, and not just sacking, if they are found guilty, they should dance to the music of the law
ReplyDeleteYour comment will be visible after approval
Mmmmmm
ReplyDeleteDey don find dis woman wey she hide
ReplyDeleteThis woman has really bankrupted the country.....I now know why she lobbied her kinsmen for the office of the oil minister....to loot the treasury........waiting to see if she will get away with this
ReplyDeleteStella I feel you @ "yimu". Nigerians have really lost hope in the "show" of the supposed probe of govt. officials. To some of us, it's just soundbite. Let's all use our votes and our voices wisely.
ReplyDeleteHer excesses has become unbearable. Only Nigerian ministers takes the public office as inheritance. She should be ousted already, just like her aviation counterpart.
ReplyDeleteGood. Let dem fish dem out one afta d other
ReplyDeleteGood. Let dem fish dem out one afta d other

ReplyDeleteNa dem sabi
ReplyDeleteThis woman and her female colleagues in government should have been an example on how things can be changed in our society when women are in government but they always choose their pockets and families. After stealing money mean't for poor masses God in heaven will bless them with uncureable disease,they start flying from London to Us looking for cure. The evil the put us in Nigerian will leave with them in this life not later. A mother wasting money that can develop her community while her son's are parting in clubs and flying with jets all around states. I feel sorry for our youths, I wish we can one day be united in one voice drop tribal and religious sentiment dividing us. This people can't take care of their homes,how can they take care of 200million citizens? Waste of Resource. Notting will ever come out of investigation. When you want jungle justice in Nigeria people that need it most are Nigeria LEADERS/POLITICIANS.

ReplyDeleteDon't worry nau; that same private jets is what 'll kill them. Who says private jets doesn't crash, they should 4gt our roads, we shall see who'll suffer most, shebi they want 2 compete wif d witches.
ReplyDeleteThis woman? When God was dishing out conscience she wasn't there,so to her it makes sense to spend N130 m approx on PJ yet she's pushing for subsidy on petrol to be removed ?
ReplyDeleteOk pls remove the subsidy coupled with the excess Govt spending occupynigeria part 2 and ths time we mean business!

Stell don't say yimu o
ReplyDeletelet me tell you something,all these people read blogs to know what Nigerians think especially now that elections are coming forth.. Gej is trying to remedy stuffs. So they send there people to read blog that's why at the end of the day,we now see positive happen after several outcry on blog for example the NIS stuff and even Stella oduah..
I have been some where with my husband to one of his mentors some time last month and I was surprised he called your blog(I think I left a comment about it last month in a post) and talked about some issues that were discussed in one of your post and how people commented.
Blogs are now our source of airing our view,so lets do that wisely and hope they change a little...
Let me disgress a little.
DeleteSdk you should see how American lawyers, Nigerian groups, etc are scrambling over themselves to sue the USA over Abacha's frozen loot. $458 million cash. You go fear.
They should share the money to all Nigerians. $3 cash will be guareented to all.
As for the Petroleum Minister...I will wait and see.
I hope the don't sweep this under the carpet like others.

10BILLION!!!! For pete sake. Wat is wrong with our leaders! Can't we get anything right in this country..must we go through this with all of our public office holders...here i am a graduate earning peanuts..and someone is using 10billion on private jet...GOD help us in this country..#gettintiredofthiscountry#
ReplyDeleteIt is obvious that dis great nation is not going to be better,d govt has made it difficult to strive hence d so called leaders stealing from our eyes after been elected or imposed on us.
ReplyDeleteEgypt,algeria and morocco suffered d same trends not until they fought for themselves.
Nobody will build dis nation if we can't fight for our right! Am not saying we should take upon ourselves by carry ammunition but we should come all out to say "it is enough"
No job,electricity,security and d host of other social amenities. I cry always knowing fully well that we(future of tomoro) are not recognized even now,while we are still are in our youthful stage!!!
Dieziani and co. chose to be a torn on our flesh and we still stand to complain and cry under dis so called platform(social media). Mind u,revolution in egypt started by mere words on twitter but see today,d egyptians are enjoying d dividend of cries...
We need revolution now!!! And d Bible states clearly dat d Kingdom of God suffereth violence,and only violence wud take it by force...we need to mobilize ourselve now and say NO to oppression,corruption and intimidation....let's go on twitter and create a platform! A platform our generation to come will acknowledge wit or witout us! We can do dis brothers! Peaceful revolution....let's come all out in our tens and thousands;let's show our leaders dat we can no longer stand dis shame and pain...we are due for joy and peace and since dat can't be achieved taks t their selfish ways dey av to step aside for dis great country to grow... On twitter we going start with an harsh tag revolution(#revolution)
Let's create this and let's show d nation dat we want accountability and a conducive environment and economy!! I end this by saying "justice for one,is justice for all"
Thank u!
D.A
Ready. Lets do it.
DeleteI believe that we are not being very sincere about probing NNPC because all the hullabaloo about the endemic fraud at NNPC have been corroborated by the NEITI (Nigerian Extractive Industries) audit. The subsidy for one is nothing but a scam.If it costs about N150.00 to import PMS from Europe,with all the associated charges for Freight,Port, Margins, Export taxes, where then is the subsidy for PMS produced within, by the four local Refineries, despite their contrived challenges?Where also are the margins on Kerosene, Diesel, and other by-products, produced within or on the Crude barter programme abroad? Questions and more Questions. What is the relative efficiency production cost (Not NNPC overtly inflated cost) of a litre of PMS and Kerosene produced within? An independent forensic valuation of this will be the way to go, towards full deregulation of the Petroleum industry.
ReplyDeleteQuestion is,who put her there? Who's shielding her? Why is she so brazen? Your guess is as good as mine! Yet some of us would be opposing change.If they loot,if their friends loot,if they don't believe anyone is looting,then we must boot them out! We have the power NOW! They will come to us begging for votes,throwing up sentiments-religious & ethnic.But we REFUSE to be played again! Not again! Every leader in this country from 2015 will be put there by us & REMOVED by us-the youths! Yes we can!
ReplyDeleteGEJ for 2015,my card dey inside safe,na oga yansh she be .
ReplyDeleteNo job, No security, No good road, No power....... yet the leaders of my country chose to acquire all the money in the world for themselves and not use the money for what they are employed for. Whoever you're, know for sure that you can wear the most expensive clothes, wrist watches, have the most expensive car etc. Enjoy it for now because soon, you will all walk the last walk and then all those properties become useless to you. Make amends while you're still alive! hmmm! Alot of people are going through hell( widows, orphans etc), yet.........hmmm. Be warned! be warned!
ReplyDeleteNdi ara ,they are busy looting ,we are busy being mad over wat we have no powers ,stella next
ReplyDeleteAllison's Sister has kids for GEJ, so she is well protected. All this won't last forever
ReplyDeleteNa so so probe we dey hear. No one gets convicted or charged at the corridors of power
