I nominate Government Ekpemupolo for GCFR for doing what the Nigerian Navy has not done for ages. Magically, the men in the creeks are discovering the illegal oil pipelines:
“During the week, Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, a private security company owned by famous Niger Delta ex-militia leader, Government Ekpemupolo aka Tompolo, which was contracted by the federal government of Nigeria to secure the pipelines, said it has discovered more massive illegal crude oil pipelines attached to Trans Forcados Export Trunkline. Reports said the newly discovered illegal pipeline was connected to the 48-inch Trans Forcados Export Trunkline in Burutu Local Government Area.”
Nigeria – what a nation indeed! The staff in the central bank should be worried. The government can just hire some street guys to run that show better since private security units are breaking Guinness records for most number of illegal oil pipelines discovered in weeks. Hopefully when they take over, the Central Bank of Nigeria will publish its audited financial statements. The last one is 2019!

My Comment: Shame on all of our security agencies. It just shows you that the thieves are high up there. Who will bring an ocean liner without authorization and enter a country unhindered get crude oil pumped into it for about 3 days and leave unscathed? To my mind they’re the ones that our security agencies are securing not the pipe lines. Even Government Ekpemupolo is trying to justify his pay, after all he was the person Jonathan gave the same job during his time, how come he was not announcing discoveries at the time? If he had been faithful in doing his job then most of what we’re seeing now should have been disconnected then. But at least give it to him, he is trying to justify his pay our security agencies don’t give a damn.
My Response: “Even Government Ekpemupolo is trying to justify his pay, after all he was the person Jonathan gave the same job during his time, how come he was not announcing discoveries at the time? ” – Uchenna Izundu, that guy is wickedly ahead. He has a carbon dating technology which tells you when the pipeline came to life (yes, when the illegal pipeline was installed). Check, that was a few weeks after his last contract expired!
