A TALE OF TWO TRANCHES OF MISSING $20 BILLION US DOLLARS EACH!

ZION B-BC NEWSLETTER. [ A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church, Kpeyegyi, Abuja Nigeria. ] { VOL. 3. NO 93. 24-05-15.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32). A TALE OF TWO TRANCHES OF MISSING $20 BILLION US DOLLARS EACH! Once upon a time in March 2013, the Nigeria’s Central Bank Governor, who was the chief custodian of the Federation Account, raised an alarm to inform Mr. President, in respect of unremitted proceeds from sales of crude oil, which ran into some staggering, mouth-watering billions of United States dollars, by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)! Although the alarm was in the form of a secret letter, it was in no time leaked to the Press and social media and within days of reconciliation of figures, the missing or unremitted amount was whittled down to $20 billion US dollars from about $48.9 billion dollars but that tranche of money is still missing an unremitted! In the third week of May 2015, the unconstitutional Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF), at the dusk of demise from the political terrain of the nation, threw some spanners in the works again through an allegation that another tranche of $20billion US dollars was missing from the illegal and unconstitutional Excess Crude Account (ECA)! The body expressed outrage against Okonjo Iweala, Co-ordinating Minister of the Economy and Minister of Finance, questioned her integrity and demanded an explanation for the $20 billion dollars from the State’s coffers! The forum, chaired by the Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, demanded immediate explanation from the minister who expressed shock over the development but promised to release and publish all official disbursements of the last four years from the ECA, which could be verified by Finance Commissioners of the 36 States of the Federation who were always in attendance at every disbursement from the ECA! *The question on every lip was whether this fresh allegation had any link with that made in 2013 by the erstwhile Governor of Nigeria’s Central Bank, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, now the Emir of Kano, who was sacked by the outgoing President Jonathan for blowing the whistle against corruption in government? *A controversial Federal Government report of the audited account of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), contracted to the foreign firm of Price Waterhouse Coopers (PWC), has exonerated both the NNPC and Federal Government from any form of culpability in respect of the allegations through a global press conference broadcast on print and electronic media verdict that, “….no money was missing”! *Now the NGF is demanding explanations from the Finance Minister in the light of the facts that funds in the ECA were last disbursed in May 2013 and that there were accruals from that period to April 2015, which estimated at over $20 billion dollars, proved that this is a fresh allegation and different from that of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, in 2013! *When converted to the Nigerian Naira, $40 billion dollars would amount to N8trillion (at exchange rate of one dollar to N200) which is equivalent to almost double of the recently endorsed 2015 Federal Government Budget of N4.357 trillion or the annual budgets about ten States put together! We of this Editorial Board, all patriotic and well-meaning Nigerians, including the local auditors who were sidelined, have condemned the PWC’s international audit as another fraud and have demanded for a fresh, external and neutral auditing of NNPC accounts by the in-coming administration of Muhammadu Buhari, which has indicated a green light in that direction! Organised and orchestrated looting of the State treasury tantamount to injustice and deprivation of the fundamental human rights in the areas of the social contract of all basic amenities of life, education and opportunities for gainful employment, by a cabal in government and should be opposed, condemned and categorized under “crimes against humanity and crimes against peace”, by the International Criminal Court (ICC)! We make bold to state that the evil monster tagged Boko Haram, in Nigeria stemmed from this social injustice of brazen looting of state treasury by a few greedy people in government! It was high time the ICC which is an independent permanent court that tries persons accused of the most serious crimes of international concern namely genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes, take a very serious notice of our recommendations and include them on their list of crimes to be prosecuted, especially in Nigeria where the rule of law had been expunged from our statutes and where impunity had been the order of the day in the past sixteen years! We are aware that the ICC as an independent international organisation was established by the comity of nations to help end impunity for the perpetrators of the most serious crimes of concern to the international community, when formal proceedings were undertaken to shield persons from criminal responsibility, as obtains in the most heinous corruption of the Nigeria’s oil and gas sector of the economy! Up till date, successive civilian administrations, have not come up with relevant daily statistics of lifted crude oil nor the annual audited accounts from the sector through which the cabal operates illegal wealth-creation pools in spite of the dwindling resources from nation’s mono-economic product! Nigeria is a signatory to the ICC Charter based on a treaty joined by 123 countries and must therefore be ready to welcome investigations or prosecutions in respect of identified crimes against humanity in the nation by the international body at any moment or time. It is worthy of note but not surprising that the ICC Chief prosecutor and her officers were in Nigeria during the just concluded 2015 General Elections, to warn all and sundry against all manner of electoral malpractices, acts of thuggery, vandalism, arson, sabotage in any form and the consequences of immediate arrests and prosecution of offenders, suspects, or sponsors of such crimes against humanity! With the arrival of the ICC team in Nigeria, Mrs Patience Jonathan mellowed her hate speeches and campaigns against Muhammadu Buhari, who, through the special grace of God is now the President-elect of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, waiting for his investiture on the 29th May, 2015, for the first term of four years in office. Crimes against humanity is the same as man’s inhumanity to man, which the Bible describes as crime against God in whose image and likeness, man was created! The Word of God says that man should love his neighbour as he loves himself and should do unto him (neighbour) as he would wish someone else do to him! The outgoing government neither loved Nigeria nor Nigerians as they perpetrated corruption with impunity as it is glaring that none of them is under any form of investigation or prosecution except for Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) spokesman during the 2015 elections, Femi Fani-Kayode whose 84-count-charge offences of money laundering has been reduced to only two and who may soon be left off hook! *During his tenure the outgoing President believed that the issue of corruption was always blown out of proportion, in spite of the annual disgraceful position of Nigeria as the most corrupt nation of the world, in the annual Transparency International Index Report. Patriotic Nigerians just like America’s late Martin Luther King junior, have dreams of a new United States of Nigeria where slavery, poverty, corruption with impunity, violence, embezzlement, fraud, avarice, money laundering, and all manner of crimes would have been totally eliminated and righteousness would exalt the nation and we believe that this time around, these dreams would not be aborted in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. *Joseph was sold into slavery through envy by his siblings because he had dreams of future success which if allowed to materialize would have benefitted the entire family without creating bad blood and acrimony. In Genesis.37:1-36; 39:1-50:26; Joseph’s ordeals, and his courage and temerity to uphold righteousness led him to become the Prime Minister of Egypt, a foreign country where he was sold to in slavery after an elongated period of suffering and pains of manner of the vicissitudes of life, which included prison and jail terms, just like many righteous Nigerians whose dreams would not die nor be aborted in spite of all the ordeals of the past 16 years of PDP governments! The new government is being put together by God through fervent prayers of the righteous who believe that all the messes of the outgoing team would be removed in no time and that the missing or unremitted monies that are outstanding would be fully recovered and the so-called almost empty treasury would be resuscitated by a faithful team who would hit the ground, running an effective government from day one! The task ahead will require the support of every patriotic Nigerian to proffer information that would lead to the quick recovery of these missing funds and other loots that have been recovered from the late Abacha’s family! We strongly believe that ICC would urgently consider our proposal which we will make every effort to submit to their headquarters in the Hague, Netherlands, even as the new government takes over the mantle of office for the very cogent reasons that we have proffered earlier! It has become imperative that every attitude of government that could cause the youths of any nation to stumble through bad governance or maladministration, like outright embezzlement of public funds through diversification of such to private pockets and accounts should no longer be tolerated nor allowed, but be nipped in the bud through devoted activities and faithful services of righteous men and women of integrity in the new government of Alhaji Buhari’s cabinet. *We recommend that ICC should rise up in support of our collective resolve to establish the brand new United States of Nigeria, beginning from Friday 29th May, 2015, which is exactly FIVE DAYS from the date of this publication! This request is made on behalf of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Amen. If you have not accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour, don’t miss this great opportunity as you pray this prayer: Lord Jesus; I confess that I am a sinner who needs to be saved through the grace of the New Testament of your Blood, shed on the Cross at Calvary; I renounce every sin in my life and accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Please forgive me and write my name in the Book of Life. Amen. If you prayed this prayer, you have been admitted into the family of sons and daughters of God, who are born-again. Congratulations. Please look forward to more divine revelation in the next edition of Zion B-BC Newsletter as you share this with friends and remain blessed in the Lord.

ZION B-BC NEWSLETTER. [ A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church, Kpeyegyi, Abuja Nigeria. ] { VOL. 3. NO 92. 17-05-15.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32). BETWEEN FRAUDULENT OIL MARKETERS AND THE ANGUISHED NIGERIANS, THERE IS GOD! The sleaze factor or low political morals is a major reason why the inadequate economic gains from Nigeria’s mono-product, the Crude oil, now selling for less than $60 US dollars per barrel, cannot meet national demands in spite of the painful affliction of austerity measures, forced on the population! On the one side of the last minute brazen robbery of the nation’s coffers are, Federal Ministry of Finance, Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria (MOMAN), National Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO), and Petroleum Tankers Drivers (PTD) and the other side are the hapless and downtrodden masses whose only hope is divine defence by their Father who is in Heaven! *A dispute broke out at the end of the first quarter of 2015 when MOMAN, NARTO and PTD tried to outsmart the outgoing Federal Government by claiming N69 billion in excess of the outstanding debt owed them! The finance minister said the debt was N131billion while MOMAN, the spokes group for the trio, said it was N200billion which must be paid on or before 29th May, 2015; the change-over date that will usher in the government of the Lord’s anointed, Muhammadu Buhari. Although the majority Nigerian masses are suffering the brunt end through endless queues at filling stations and sleeping overnight in many cases, the quarrel between the partners in corruption is a very glaring case of divine intervention! Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, the Finance Minister whom we of this Editorial Board had warned severally to back out of this infamous government because of her outstanding academic excellence, an impeccable antecedent and pedigree, has now put herself in a tight corner that is oozing of sleaze! *At a recent meeting with her creditors, the minister was probably coerced to double speak as follows: “It will be very difficult to get exact figure for subsidy arrears owed oil marketers owning to the ROLLING NATURE, of the business. “With the understanding reached with the oil marketers all outstanding debts would be paid based on the claims processed by the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA). “What I want you to understand is that this is a rolling business and there is no one DEFINITIVE FIGURE. Even as we talk today (4th May, 2015), by the time we leave, the Executive Secretary of PPPRA may have cleared some more Sovereign Debt Notes. “As we speak, the Executive Secretary has been clearing and certifying payments and that is why it is really not of fixed sum. “We should not get fixated about that particular number because once they keep supplying fuel to Nigerians, there will always be something to pay and government is continuous. “When we came in there was money owed and we have continued to clear the money as we go”, she said. *We, like millions of well-meaning Nigerians, are very disappointed with Ngozi’s double speak which carry more meaning than meets the eye! *How can she peg outstanding subsidy debt to N131billion and in a twinkle of the eye, turns around to deny and regard the shrouded business as one without definitive figure because of its “rolling nature”! From her statement, it is very clear that she has lost grip as Co-ordinating Minister of the Economy over the financing of petroleum importation and has relinquished her authority to the Executive Secretary of PPPRA who scrutinizes and verifies all claims made by MOMAN. *PPPRA has become the final clearing house for claims made by marketers whether they were genuine or falsified without any other form of due process! Nigerians are all witnesses to the terrible fraud of recent years in the government subsidized oil importation programme during which unregistered Nigerian Companies submitted and claimed billions of naira from the nation coffers with the tacit connivance of the Ministry of Finance and the PPPRA. And because no one has been successfully prosecuted by the outgoing government of impunity, it has remained business as usual! *Some of the brains behind the massive fraud were investigated and arraigned before the law courts, but no conviction has so far been achieved as serial adjournments became the style of the courts where the cases are still pending in over five years! Both the Minister of Finance and PPPRA’s Executive Secretary were in office then to scrutinize and verify all claims submitted by the FRAUDSTERS who collected billions of billions without detection and they are still the same government officials calling the shots at the dusk of the inglorious Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP), administration of 16 long years! *As at the time of this publication some PPPRA officials are in court in respect of allegations of criminal connivance, falsification of figures, verification and approval of false documents presented by fraudulent Nigerian companies which had collected billions of naira for false importations! All manner of fraudulent practices, double speak, falsification of figures and outright embezzlement of crude oil sales funds, have characterized the PETROLEUM SECTOR of the economy with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), comfortably positioned at the top of the corruption graph. While all of the above imbroglio manifested, NNPC on the 3rd of May, 2015 claimed that it had enough stock of petrol to service the country for 27 days at national consumption rate of 40million litres per day even as it has stepped up efforts to end the distribution challenges in the fuel supply system through its Coastal Depots in Port Harcourt, Warri and Calabar, besides the stock in the National Strategic Reserve. All these claims by NNPC have turned out to be untrue because the scarcity got worsened with that official statement as the promised supplies turn out to be the exclusive preserve of the black marketers who are having the field day on roads, streets, nooks and crannies of Nigeria! *The true position of fuel situation at the moment is that MOMAN has carried out its threat to call on the Petroleum Tankers Drivers (PTD), to embark on an indefinite strike until the N200billion balance of arrears was paid in full because they believed that the in-coming administration would not pay them a kobo; so the suffering by the innocent masses would have to continue! We have never changed our position that the whole gamut of petroleum subsidy is nothing short of a MONUMENTAL FRAUD AGAINST THE NIGERIAN MASSES, and we still maintain our stand for the following salient reasons: An oil producing country as Nigeria should have no business in importing finished products if a God-fearing management rules the nation. Refineries would normally be the first consideration as soon as oil exploration and exploitation commenced. Oil blocks should not have become Party patronage issue of who is closest to Mr. President as it has been since 1999, when the outgoing government began to rule but should be allocated to States of the Federation and responsible business groups instead of individuals as it is presently practised. The present scenario of the Petroleum Sector portrays a deliberate and well-calculated plan of a cabal in government to buy up Nigeria with wealth stolen from its ‘belly’ and they almost succeeded if it were not for divine intervention! In one night the PDP raised over N22 billion for their presidential campaign and one large-hearted contributor who was said possess an oil block, donated N2billion for himself and a friend! Starting with former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, no PDP administration has built a refinery in 16 years! Outgoing President, Ebele Jonathan, admitted that 60% of subsidized petroleum products was smuggled out of the country by fraudulent marketers and their collaborators in government! *Much as it desirable to allow market forces to determine petroleum products prices, we would advise that until at least Six new refineries are built within the next three years, the in-coming administration should set up a TASK FORCE to take over the importation of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), for better operational effectiveness, accountability and outright removal of fraudulent practices of the outgoing administration and their collaborators! *Patriotic Nigerians should heave a sigh of relief that in the next TWELVE DAYS from the date of this publication, a government of righteousness will be instituted by the God of Heaven, whose PURPOSIVE WILL must be done on Earth and Nigeria as it is in His Kingdom. *Saint Paul, the great Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ states as follows: “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. “For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope. “Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. “For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. “And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the first fruits of the spirit, even we ourselves, groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. [Romans.8:19-23]. Though Nigerians have been groaning in pain and anxiously looking forward with a united faith to the removal of the curse of perpetual agony of bondage of moral corruption, decay, ruin, depravity and wickedness, placed on the nation by successive PDP administrations, we are still enjoined to be patient as glorious liberty is at the door! Definitely, the blessings that will flow from Heaven to assuage all present sufferings, are abundant, unimaginable, limitless, in fact they are eternal! *OUR FINAL REDEMPTION AS A NATION BEGINS AS SOON AS THIS ABBERATION CALLED INSTITUTIONAL CORRUPTION IS CLEARED OUT PERMANENTLY! Amen. If you have not accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour, don’t miss this great opportunity as you pray this prayer: Lord Jesus; I confess that I am a sinner who needs to be saved through the grace of the New Testament of your Blood, shed on the Cross at Calvary; I renounce every sin in my life and accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Please forgive me and write my name in the Book of Life. Amen. If you prayed this prayer, you have been admitted into the family of sons and daughters of God, who are born-again. Congratulations.

It’s a Must Read! In spite of the universal acknowledgement that all men are created equal and possess divine inalienable rights to life, liberty, equity, pursuit of happiness and justice, we are still confronted with discrepancies of wealth and poverty, of abundance and hunger, of opportunity and absolute neglect that issue from the ineptitude of political and economic players in global democracies! Unalienable rights cannot be surrendered, sold, battered away or transferred to someone else, except in an autocracy, despotism or in punishment of crime in accordance to the rule of law. IF DEMOCRACY IS ACCLAIMED THE BEST FORM OF GOVERNMENT, THEN THE WISH OF THE PEOPLE TO WHOM SOVEREIGNTY BELONGS MUST BE PRIORITIZED! We of the Zion B-BC Newsletter are ethically and religiously sensitive to the doctrine of equity and feel anguished as fellow human beings are reduced to the underclass of unemployed and aimless citizens who have very slim chance of survival in countries that flow with “milk and honey”! Our divinely-appointed role is that of the Ombudsman, who is committed to exposing bad governance, and selfish politicians in world democracies –with Nigeria as Case Study – because we do not have a profound PUBLIC THEOLOGY – a deep and broad concept of what GOD requires of humanity in our public behaviours in this broken, divided, terrorised and threatened world! A combination of very serious literary and spiritual treatise in weekly dosages is served to our teeming readers in unique and exquisite manner to sensitizing citizens rights in democratic dispensations! The Nigerian Project is the major focus of the Editorial Board because the country occupies a strategic position as the most-populous global black nation and one with the highest rebased Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Black Africa! In spite of this economic “laurel” and in spite of the fact that able-bodied but unemployed youths occupy between 65-70 per cent of the country’s population of about 200.000 million people, Nigeria is very popular for CELEBRATING CORRUPTION! Prophet Amos of the Old Testament Bible period was remarkable for his outspokenness and prophecies against erring nations, which cared only for the affluence to the detriment of the poor! The tone of his message was set by the great proclamation at the beginning of his prophecy that from Zion the LORD’s voice, like the roar of a lion, will be heard in judgment. [Amos.1:2]. Beneath the respectable surface of material prosperity, Amos uncovered the decaying mass of religious formalism and spiritual corruption. [5:12, 21]. He points out the total disregard of human rights and personality [2:6], and the deterioration of morality and social justice. [2:7, 8]. The prophet had a remedy for the disease that threatened the life of the nation: “….let men seek the LORD, let them repent and establish justice and they might live.” [5:14, 15]. But to emphasize the hopelessness of the situation, the prophet warns that those responsible for the evil in the land are not “grieved” over the threatened disaster. [6:6]. Prophet Amos’ message was largely a “cry for justice”! Prophet Moses also cried to Pharaoh, “Let my people go….!” Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, John the Baptist and even Jesus Christ spoke against injustice! THE CRY FOR JUSTICE AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL NIGERIANS AND DIASPORIANS IS ALSO OUR VISION, MISSION AND CONVICTION! WE ALWAYS ANALYZE GLOBAL ISSUES AS THEY UNFOLD! WE PUT THEM IN THEIR RIGHT PERSPECTIVES..ALWAYS THE TRUTH! *Join the Torch Bearers for weekly access to read Zion B-BC Newsletter as a reference and authoritative document of immense value on: facebook.com/zionfaithbible.believingchurch or http://www.zfbbc1.blogspot.com, https://www.google.com/+zionfaithbiblebelievingchurch .

ZION B-BC NEWSLETTER. [ A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church, Kpeyegyi, Abuja Nigeria. ] { VOL. 3. NO 91. 10-05-15.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32) THE JINX CALLED “TRANSITION” IN AFRICAN GOVERNMENTS. POWER intoxicates and corrupts; and absolute power disillusions and corrupts absolutely!Otherwise, why should the incumbent President of Burundi, who completed the constitutionally backed two terms in office, seek an extension by forcing the Constitutional Court to back his third term bid? Why is Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe, whose health condition is so worrisome still holds on to power at the expense of the sovereign but impoverished electorate? Why did it ever occur to Nigeria’s former military Head of State who later governed for eight years (1999-2007), as civilian President, to seek for a third term in office? *At the last count, about 18 protesters have been killed and scores wounded by the military because Pierre Nkurunziza of Burundi must rule his country by force and at all cost! He has filed his candidacy to run for a third term with a declaration that elections would go well though he admitted that the demonstrations had turned into insurrection! According to the opposition, Ukurunziza’s third term bid “violates both the constitution which limits a president to two terms in office and the accord that ended a 13-year civil war between Tutsis and Hutus in 2006. The President was a former rebel leader from the Hutu majority who has come under intense international pressure to withdraw from the upcoming election of 26th June, 2015, as it was alleged by one of the Constitutional Court Judges who refused to support the bid and subsequently fled to neighbouring Burundi, that he and his colleagues had been subjected to death threats! *President Nkurunziza was also quoted as saying that the current crisis in Burundi was “nothing compared to what we experienced in 1993-1994;” (referring to the civil war that killed about 300.000 people.) A report from the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) states that more than 50.000 Burundians who have been internally displaced have fled to Rwanda, Tanzania and the Democratic Republic of Congo, in the past few weeks! *Why would the transition of power become an albatross - a problem which the defeated Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) - finds very difficult to crack? Could it be that they greedily counted their chicks before they were hatched? It looks like the post-election trauma is still taking its toll on both government and party officials! In one vein, the Federal Government said it has set up a Transition Committee, which at the time of this publication, was yet to meet with its counterpart of the incoming administration of the All Progressives Party (APC). In another vein PDP is accusing APC of trying to form a parallel government through its activities at the “Defence House,” the official but temporary lodgings for the President-elect, even before 29th, May, 2015. An in-fighting bout is raging within the bowels of the PDP anatomy and the body is in disarray! *Recently, the PDP South-West Zone spearheaded by Chief ‘Bode George, called for the heads of the National Working Committee’s (NWC), members and simultaneously for total dissolution of the Executive in the South West to pave way for the injection of “new blood”! *An elderly member of the PDP has stated that his party was only on vacation and would definitely return to power in 2019! *Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State claims to be in possession of damning reports about Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, the embattled PDP Chairman, who is daring him to publish them! *On his own part, President Jonathan is embedded in making last-minute appointments into boards and agencies of government which already had over bloated staff whose salary payments are in arrears in order to provoke in-coming government into anger instead of solving the domestic issue of the intractable Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) scarcity, the worsening power outage situation and the grounded economy through maladministration and the outrageous corruption of the Oil Sector - specifically the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)! He is also advising Alhaji Buhari to complete all on-going projects in Abuja, especially, the Umaru Yar’Adua Way also called Airport Road, awarded in 2009, in a state of 98% completion, with a balance of between N5 - 15billion balance of payment and also the uncompleted Abuja Light Rail project at 61% completion which should be delivered by December 2015! *Federal Government has promised to make available the hand-over notes by the third week in May, 2015, but APC is opposed to this idea as there would be no time to scrutinize them before Alhaji Muhammadu Buhari is sworn in! *APC says they are in the dark and have no data to work with! For instance its National Publicity Secretary wondered on how they would scrutinize all handing over notes in one week to the investiture of the new President or how to plan in respect of the economy when the party is completely oblivious to statistics in respect of Crude Oil exportation or how many barrels of the substance is officially lifted from Nigeria per day! Political and economic watchers around the globe agree that the outgoing PDP government which had become nonplussed and could hardly cope with the reality of their defeat at the recent polls had no Plan B, which should have been, “The Blue Print on Transition of Power in Case of Defeat”! From 1999, it had been PDP all the way, bulldozing their way through organized corruption and rigging of all elections and were certain of ruling Nigeria forever! And unfortunately for them, no African country could assist them with any Blue Print on transition of power because the Black man is a SIT-TIGHT LEADER! *Unlike his Burundian colleague, the outgoing Nigeria’s Commander-in-Chief, could not get the support of the Military, whom the Almighty God has personally insulated from partisan politics forever and ever! President Jonathan’s waning administration has very short time left to beat about the bush, but even within that short period, he should remind himself and his subordinates to DECLARE THEIR ASSESTS BEFORE THE HAND-OVER DATE OF 29TH MAY, 2015! They owe this mandatory and constitutional duty to God and Nigerians to whom they must give account of their stewardship for verification and evaluation according to the RULE OF LAW. Count-down to 29th May, 2015! In spite of some outstanding “SUBSIDY PAYMENTS” made by the Ministry of Finance to petroleum marketers and in spite of the “NEW APPROPRIATION” for fuel subsidy now injected into the 2015 Budget, Nigerians have continuously slept at filling stations while the unending queues have drained the entire manpower of the nation to a standstill on our roads and streets! The in-coming administration of Alhaji Buhari has not left anyone in doubt that it would not tolerate CORRUPTION in any guise. In fact, it has publicly declared that it would re-visit the allegation of the missing $20billion US dollars which the NNPC failed to remit into the Federation Account between 2013-2014 - which means that it would no longer be business as usual for corrupt officials from the 29th May, 2015! However last minute corruption has shifted to the filing stations with tacit collusion of NNPC officials who look “the other way” as petrol attendants sell to the “black market” operators at exorbitant rates to the detriment of motorists who queue all day without getting the commodity. Investigations also showed that these officials-at-large also permitted the attendants to dispense PMS with one out of about nine pumps in the filling stations in order to prolong the distress of motorists and in the process make illegal gains for both parties! These last minute fraudulent activities can be likened to the Biblical account of the Lord Jesus Christ’s story of the “Unjust Steward.” A certain rich man had a steward who was accused of wasting his master’s goods. The master called him to ascertain the veracity of the allegations and asked, “How is it that I hear this of thee? Give an account of thy stewardship, for thou mayest be no longer steward” “Then the steward said within himself, what shall I do? For my Lord taketh away from me the stewardship; I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed. “I am resolved what to do, that when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.” *This unjust steward called all his master’s debtors and slashed by 50 to 60 per cent of their indebtedness to his boss and subsequently gained their friendship and “trust” for the “rainy day!” (Read Luke.16:1-13). *It is very instructive at this point to warn that no one should mourn the downfall of PDP because from all indications and last minute attitude of President Jonathan and his cronies, they have remained UNREPENTANT! They do not deserve the pity of any Nigerian who has suffered untold hardships through unfulfilled promises of all social contracts of 16 agonising years! Like most wicked people, they have prospered for some time but the time and moment of accountability and reckoning has come! Patriarch Job was one great man of the Old Testament Bible period, whom God personally testified of his perfection and uprightness but who in spite of these sterling qualities had to face and endure mental, physical and even health afflictions that he might please God! Job like most Nigerians have every cause to be grieved because very few greedy persons in government have almost milked this nation dried! The patriarch asked the following questions that are very pertinent and relevant to our Nigerian situation: “Why do the wicked live, become old, and become mighty in power? “Their children are established with them in their sight, and their offspring before their eyes. “Their houses are safe [and] in peace, without fear; neither is the rod of God upon them. “Their bull breeds and fails not; their cows calve and do not miscarry. “They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children skip about. “They themselves lift up their voices [and] sing to the tambourine and the lyre and rejoice to the sound of the pipe. “They spend their days in prosperity and go down to Sheol [the unseen state] in a moment [and] peacefully. “Yet they say to God, Depart from us, for we do not desire the knowledge of Your ways. “Who is the Almighty that we should serve Him? And what profit do we have if we pray to Him? “But notice [you say] the prosperity of the wicked is not in their power; the mystery [of God’s dealings] with the ungodly is far from my comprehension. “How often [then] is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out? That their calamity comes upon them? That God distributes pains [and] sorrows to them in His anger? “That they are like stubble before the wind and like chaff that the storm steals [and] carries away? “You say, God lays up [the punishment of the wicked man’s] iniquity for his children. Let Him recompense it to the man himself, that he may know [and] feel it. “Let his own eyes see his destruction, and let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.” (Job.21:7-20; Amplified Bible). *Awake Africans! Drive out all sit-down tight-leaders who believe that you and your God-given lands belong to them and their families whether they were former rebels or brigands or “freedom fighters”. They are the despotic, egoistic, very selfish and naturally wicked neo-colonialists of the 21 Century who want the continent to remain underdeveloped forever! *Awake Nigerians! This is the appointed time to set up the righteous government that will exalt our nation before God. Support Alhaji Buhari all the way and we and our generations yet unborn will definitely prosper and eat of the good of the land while the wicked outgoing generation will perish in their wickedness according to the WORD OF GOD, in Jesus Christ name. Amen. God cannot be mocked or deceived, whatever a man sows, that he shall reap in multiplicity Amen. If you have not accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour, don’t miss this great opportunity as you pray this prayer: Lord Jesus; I confess that I am a sinner who needs to be saved through the grace of the New Testament of your Blood, shed on the Cross at Calvary; I renounce every sin in my life and accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Please forgive me and write my name in the Book of Life. Amen. If you prayed this prayer, you have been admitted into the family of sons and daughters of God, who are born-again. Congratulations. Please look forward to more divine revelation in the next edition of Zion B-BC Newsletter as you share this with friends and remain blessed in the Lord.
