 WEEK 2 OF PETER OBI'S 100 DAYS IN OFFICE by Mkpisi ndi Egede.


Just as Prez Obi finished supervising the ASO ROCK Kitchen, where he stand with a Bell of Honors and auction on the Sports 20 Deep freezers, 25 Standing Freezers and two warehouses of Serving plates and Pots and he was saying with a tone of a school teacher teaching Dullards, we can't be entertaining the entire Nation, if anybody wants to eat, better go to town and buy what suit you, this place dispense Governance and not free food.


As he finally carved out a very large portion of the Expanse Kitchen and hand same over to ASUU Staff, Slice another from VIP restaurant, gave to WORKERS UNION while saying that it will help them to be closer to power to see what's happening.


That was when British Ambassador came with British Petroleum Secretary to demand in LORD LUGGARD TONE why Nigeria is not patronizing them again in oil products, and the MAN P (P for PRESIDENT, P stands on interwoven for Peter or President, even the CIA has being addressing him as PP before the election).


PP called VPD (Vice President DATTI) to join him as the American counter part joined the British team, so after reminding PP how Britain has been of immense help to Nigeria, that Nigeria should be grateful and continue doing business with them, at this juncture VPD Said in mild tone, you guys have tried with us and we have tried paying you back over the years, it's time you move on and let us rearrange our lives and business, let African be for once, INDEPENDENT means Freedom for crying out Loud.


VPD ask them with furry and gutso, is there anything you guys forgot in Nigeria on your way out in 1960?, if there is tell us let's go and get it for you instead of you guys keeping your knees on our Neck, we are not breathing , what is the Cord holding us together that is not broken?. 


Then PP stepped in as a Teacher and say to the emissary.. We don't have any problem with you guys and our Oil, as long as the New business Terms applies , we will surely do business with you very well as long as you truly wants to tap into our new Government policies .


1) We hope with your cooperation, that we can AUDIT your account with our Petroleum produce since 1960, and as I am not a professional accountant, I shall bring into the discussion a competent Forensic accountant and Team, as he was saying this he was dailing a number on his phone and the August Visitors started palpitating as if our AC suddenly is producing heat instead of Conditioned Air.


2) The way we want to run our petroleum now is like Main market, we let the best person to use our Facility to refine and resale, but after 4 months the person did not refurbish the Refinery and have it running, the contract will terminate.


The company or person managing any of the refineries will be buying the crude off the Government, then on his own expense refining and paying the Government good percentage for using our facility and patronizing them as well, the prices will be a very low discount, we can't be producing crude and our petroleum prices won't be half of what other nations buys, not in my tenure.


3) They will be paying Taxes based on the general profit, by the way, how much profit have BP and other allied companies declared and how much taxes have they paid to Nigeria over the decades?, As we pay accumulated interest over loans we took, so shall interest on undeclared profits shall be applied as well, On this juncture the VPD suggest they call Tax office to check as he brought out his phone and speed dialed a number and was speaking on a low tone through the Bluetooth perching on his left ear, then the British Ambassador said he had an urgent call from his Mother land,  he moved out toward the Aisle and his team also claimed to have same emergency and all left in hurry never to come back.


As AIR PEACE have bought 4 of the Presidential Jets and United Air bought 3, ALBARIKA AIR bought 4, they signed deal to be carrying President on discount as they all have redeisgned the planes to Commercial Air going long haul.


It was noted that AIR PEACE  are still using some Flights bought from open market without inspection and the Government gave them 2 weeks to remove those planes from our sky as all the Brand new AIRLINES owned by even Traders including fleet belonging to EMILOKAN group called FORGIVE ME AIRLINE are delivering timely and at a very good price as they have no bottle Neck holding them and with the speed our UNDERGROUND Speed Trains are going, transportation business in Nigeria will become a talk about, as the trains guarantee after the test drive to be running LAGOS to Kano in 3 hours, Lagos to Enugwu 1 hour, PH to Sokoto 2 Hours, all providing 24 hours service.


The Senate for the first time were debating whether it is safe to be using same Rail lines for trains carrying Both Containers and the one carrying passengers, they resolved to allow an added line for CARGO trains, especially the one going from MAIN MARKET to KANO, Lagos to Sokoto and keep expanding as it evolve, they agreed that the second phases shall be the Saraka money which the Presidency cut off from Legislation Wallet which he called GIVING BACK THE NATION FUND.


Mr President and VPD insisted that any Nigerian with another Country passport will be working with Visitors Visa and paying good Taxes as obtained Overseas after all our GDP and that of First world nations na anazi ito (Igbo titled salutation) .


I was outraged that the former office of the First Lady were leased to TRANSPORT MINISTRY and they are paying good Rent to the Management of ASO ROCK, then that of Wife or VP were rented to MINISTRY of Agriculture and they are good Tenants as well, the rents are channeled to mother and Children through the Nation as added bonus .


As Nigeria stopped Importing Rice, Indians and other Rice manufacturers started bringing their RICE to Nigeria to compete with Nigerian own grown that has come of grand  taste and taste better than UNCLE BEN'S RICE of old.


Mazi Odera Off to church, but help me and warn my Mrs, she knew I always observe Fasting on Sundays from 5 Am to 11 Am but this Morning she started frying Akara and as head of the house I tasted it to make sure it is safe for them, then I unwillingly use some Slice off the Bread to taste another batch of Akara , though the taste shouldn't be ascertained forcing me to use Coke to wash it down, it was after I remember that I have broken the fast, but Thank God, I did that before 6 Am and I can restart from 6am, then extend it to 12 Noon..


Where is my Ekpere na Abu, let me join procession ka mu na ndi Choir chipu ya today. POg remains the name and Mkpisi ndi Egede is the calling.
