A PROPHET IS NEVER RESPECTED IN HIS HOME: This so strange but the honest truth as my conversations with two different people from two different African countries within one week can confirm it here.. Albert Okuolu my FB friend most of you know him or you can check his profile. We have known each other since I mean as in person because he is hubby’s friend and business has brought us together again not even knowing he was not permanent in Nigeria anymore thanks goodness for fb……….. Albert lives in one of the African countries…..ALBERT WROTE UNEDITED: HELLO MADAM…….i am told that poor non oil producing African countries buy crude with discounts form government of Nigeria which they sell off almost immediately…..if true i can start working on the government of REP OF CENTRAL AFRICA. I have very strong contact there. I see your mails to Gibson. Francophone business can be very slow. I am doing rough diamonds here in RCA I have got license to trade in all natural Resources of both countries. Thanks for all your mails Regards, AL. My reply to Albert…… yes Mr Okuolu it is true not just to poor African countries but all African counties willing to buy and Nigeria gives credit facilities and gives 50% discount to these countries to help them. Albert introduced me to a minister in one of the African countries they are buying vessels to do their buying from Nigeria and those vessels are being sourced through me because Nigeria is the only country that has access to most big vessels manufacturers in Africa.. I am saying this so folks that come on FB to yarn anyhow without understanding what and who Jonathan represents when they talk so they can be a bit informed rather than talk from their partisan bigotry stance. Two days ago a petroleum minister from some African country not the one Albert introduced to me called and we have been calling each other anyway. But what is so special about this particular call this time is because it just confirmed Albert’s mail to me above. If I had said this out of the blues I would be accused of being the government’s mole, Jonathan’s apologist or a PDP paid agent. The universe has a way of arranging things properly. It is so easy to speak with these other ministers from these other countries I mean one on one try that with our ministers let alone a petroleum one the camel would go through the needles eye before you can break through. You would have to pass through one Million special advisers and aides that is if you ever succeed at all at the end of the day and sometimes you have to give brown envelopes trust me I have seen it all. Well the petroleum minister said to me if Nigerians know who your president is and how much that man is willing to help that country you would all be jumping for joy for what God has done for Nigeria. I have been a minister for petroleum in my country since Obasanjo’s era so I can tell you what I am saying and know. This is a man I can see by just phoning to book a meeting, a very simple unassuming man unlike Obasanjo that would refer you to some other people and at the end nothing gets done. Jonathan would see you and make sure he gives instructions and sees through it. He really is fostering African unity and progress. Hmmm!. So when I hear Nigerians just abuse him and complain I kept wondering why. The problem is Nigerians are always in a hurry and majority are so factionalized in their thinking based on ethnic, cultural and religious leanings. I swear I am quoting this very elevated man verbatim. Since Jonathan came to power he has not only helped us buy Nigerian Crude on credit and pay back when we sell but he also gives us a lot of discount because he realized we are not able to buy at OPEC we don’t have that kind of money that is why most African countries do not buy from OPEC. Goodluck Jonathan has really helped us in that regard and ever willing to help. Do you know how Nigeria has helped other African countries because of this man? No sir I don’t know I answered. He picked off from where Ghadafi left off. He is a good man and means well but Nigeriand don’t want to give him a chance. I can’t begin to tell you what we went through with OBJ but it was easy for him to give Ghana some oil to kick start their economy but neglected other African countries that is why we don’t like him. Even Angola with so much oil than Nigeria they cannot even give us credit facility let alone any discount. But sir it’s because we are suffering in Nigeria that is why we cannot see what he is doing. In Nigeria if there is no money in our pockets we cannot see reason let alone reason. No you are not suffering but come and see suffering in other African countries. Your politicians are corrupt if he can truly fight Nigerian brand of corruption that is worst than terrorism then he would have conquered the world. Nigerians in my country are the richest people so why should anyone say Nigerians are suffering? It is a global recession but Nigeria is doing so well under this man’s administration we outside Nigeria know but how can you convince a Nigerian in Nigeria? What you people are experiencing now it would pass away if only you would allow him. He is really fighting the insurgence using intelligence but Nigerians want him to use Obj’s style no terrorism is fought with intelligence not military might. He added. The safe the girls campaign has been blown out of proportion because of the media and Nigerians couple with bad management of the situation. One mistake about using force those are gone and forever. Nigerian military cannot fight your brand of terrorism which is comparatively new and somewhat like guerrilla warfare, we have been fighting this for years but still not succeeded. Nigeria is still our big brother he added. Well sir, this really gladdens my heart please I am going to add you on my fb contact I would put this conversation up on my wall without mentioning names I want you to peep and read the comments that would trail it from Nigerians. Now where are we with our business since that is the one I am most interested in? Lol! Everything is fine Portia and going on fine we would come across to you soon once we can raise the instrument. Hehehe ! I don hammer just joking o! Now this is the true nature of things with folks in Nigeria, we shout, scream, and caterwaul without understanding. I did not know it would have to take someone else from another country to educate me about what the government is doing regarding the insurgence and rescuing the girls. I am not happy the way things are which is why I am looking outside for business but ultimately Nigeria is the place that things can be done if you dare to try and take that leap of faith. Frustrating it can be but this is where the market is. Imagine shopping around for vessels in Nigeria? Other African countries see us as the best but we see ourselves as the worse. What you give focus to would definitely give you direction. I see the greatest greatness in Nigeria and in Nigeria I shall evolve. That is how I see her because I have no other mother so if I don’t love my mother no one else would nor dare to respect her. If you change the way you see things those things too would change it is energy it goes where your thoughts are focused good or bad.. Nigeria is still our big brother my minister oga said. You are busy peregrinating up and down meanwhile others are wishing they were Nigerians. Na wa o! I am so happy and such a proud Nigerian I am hearing that. Okay o! Charity begins at home I hear you..
