How can a big thief believe he can fight a small
thief, justifying it? That is the dilemma. Why I have hardly paid attention to
this ongoing war against oil theft is hypocrisy of those who loudly denounce oil
theft, or if you like oil bunkering.Because both as far as morality and
commonwealth are concerned, both are saboteurs to our commonwealth, I am of the
opinion that to bring sanity into the country's oil industry we nationalise our
oil industry in such a way that it is fully in the people's hands and no
Nigerian or foreigner is allowed to mess around with what belongs to all of us
and be allowed to get away with it. Since our federal lawmakers have been
sitting on the Petroleum Industry Bill for whatever reasons, I strongly believe
that the forthcoming national dialogue will finally nationalise the country's
oil industry."It is only when that is done that we will be able to end the rot
in the country's oil industry. And it is by taking full ownership that frequent
oil spills that have devastatingly polluted communities in the Niger Delta with
all the untold hardships, including neurological and dermal damage, cancer and
respiratory and reproductive defects, as well as infertility and genetic
abnormalities, which the people of the Niger Delta have been suffering in the
hands of western oil majors.

that could lead to is the expunging from the 2007 Fiscal Responsibility Act
section 22 (1) and (2), which permits revenue generating agencies of government
to only remit one-fifth of their operating surpluses. Mandating 100 per cent
remittance of generated revenues to government treasury will mean the end cases
like generating as high as N3.1 trillion in 2010, but only remitting as less as
N50 billion to government coffers or in 2011's N3.2 trillion revenue but as low
