Nigerian Central Bank Falls For Nigerian Email Scam? Says $20 Billion Unaccounted For
A month ago, Nigeria's state-owned National Petroleum oil company (NNPC) said it had accounted for all of the $49.8 billion in revenues that were supposed to paid to the government explaining it had spent over $10 bn on subsidies, repairs, and losses on crude oil inventory - "no money is missing," they exclaimed. However, according to Bloomberg, Nigeria's Central Bank governor Lamido Sanusi (often seen at the footer of those emails everyone gets) proclaimed to the government's senate finance committee that NNPC hasn't accounted for $20 billion in revenue. "There is $20 billion that has not come back to us - the burden of proof is on NNPC." That is 8% of GDP! Perhaps dropping a line to some Western central bankers for a temporary bridge loan (because we are sure the money is there) would be appropriate.
A month ago... trust us - the money is there...
Via Bloomberg,
Nigeria’s state-owned oil company said it made a full account for $49.8 billion revenue it was alleged to have failed to pay to the government.
The spendings include $8.49 billion on fuel subsidies, $1.22 billion on pipeline repairs and $1.09 billion for crude losses, Bernard Otti, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corp.’s group executive director of finance and accounts, told reporters today in the capital, Abuja. Part of the money was also used to maintain strategic reserves of refined fuel, he said.
“These expenditures have been incurred by the NNPC as part of our statutory responsibility as a national oil company which we execute on behalf of the federal government,” he said. “No money is missing.”
Central bank Governor Lamido Sanusi said last month he had written to President Goodluck Jonathan to ask for a probe of the country’s oil accounts, after newspapers reported that he alleged in his letter that $49.8 billion was unaccounted for. The NNPC said on Jan. 5 that it worked with the finance and petroleum ministries to reconcile $39 billion of the amount.
And then the truth today... hhm, sorry we are short $20 billion...
State-owned Nigeria National Petroleum Co. hasn’t accounted for $20b in revenue, Lamido Sanusi tells Senate finance committee in capital, Abuja.
"There is $20b that has not come back to us. The burden of proof is on NNPC": Sanusi
We await our invitation to participate in the bridge financing if we just send bank account details...
And while $20bn is a third of a month's Fed LSAP - it's 8% of Nigerian GDP...

I want one of those t-shirts!
Classic American T-Shirts in Africa is crazy I tell ya, cause that's where a shit ton of 'em went, ...even expats are buying 'em up in Africa and re-selling on ebay...
Yeah, the msm will get right on this.. Just as soon as they run out of stories on why everyone is happy and what medications to take if you're not.
They'd better be DAMN careful; last time the USSA noticed 2.3 Trillion missing from the pentagon budget, planes flown by nutty Muslims just started slamming into buildings.
If I were in Nigeria, I'd stay out of any mud hut higher than 3 stories.
Nigerian equivalent of the Pentagon to be impacted by passenger jet (or cruise missile) in 5, 4, 3....

SecDef Rumsfeld says 2 Trillion (15% of 2001 GDP) unaccounted for. 9/10/2001
Did the $2 trillion ever turn up? In 2012 dollars that's $2,591,991,024,727.71 by gubmint calculations anyway.
But I have good news! I just looked in my sofa cushions and I found the 71 cents.
Kissinger: "We will follow the facts where they lead,"
Yea thats great, Argentina will say everything is alright.
Their Central Bank was Cyprused by the dude that played the dude of the central bank that was playing the dude..........
Well if Goldman Sachs or HSBC have money at risk the U.S. Federal Reserve is sure to wire $20 Billion of future taxpayer debt and cuts to already taxed entitlements to the Nigerians overnight.
Ctrl+P is painless for everyone but citizens.

The Bernanke should have sent the funds. At least that way he could plead he was just an idiot and meant no harm when he destroyed the country.
And all this time I thought the USSA was the most corrupt...
Corrupt!
US Corrupt?
Fuck me!
Twenty billion dollars went fucking missing in cash, palatalized and flown into Iraq and Afghanistan by the USAF, some of which was immediately transshipped yet in palatalized form to Switzerland.
Corrupt?
The Nigerians are pikers.
Pikers, I say
Fucking Odd Lot Beginner Pikers
You are reght about that Knucks - PALLETS of shrink-wrapped 100's off-loaded from C-130's in Iraq and 'disappeared" to (ahem) support the revolution. I mean, who cares - print up another 5-6 million fresh $100s, load em up. I know a former crew chief on these CIA flights that has photo docs of this shit (and is afraid). It all 'disappeared' up who the hell knowes ass.
As a former Airborne, Ranger Infantry officer who served to protect and defend my country and Constitution, I am sick at heart. All I thought I was fighting for and 'defending'' is lost to NSA and Homeland Securtity and all that shit.
And I don't see a 'democratic' way out, when NSA has the goods on every, single fucking Senator and Congressman - witness so-called liberal CA Senator Fienstien defending the NSA with her last breath - who the fuck knows what NSA has on her or her uber-rich hubby?
We are fucked. With a wife dying of cancer, and as an old man, I'm arming up. We cannot solve this at the ballot box, but I will defend the Bill or RIghts. I'm probably a short-timer myself, but that's OK.
Peace.
It is up to each of us to keep ourselves and our loved ones protected. Any way that we can. I agree with you two guys, America is NOT the place it was (and even in the past it was dirty).
And peace to you guys as well.
Funnelled into RE in europe and usa probably.

I swear sometimes I feel like I'm living in a world narrated by the Onion.
You are, Doc!
The MSM is the play wonder land of falsehoods and lies
The Onion is reality.
Wait till sploogle invents googPillz. Just pop one of those badboyz and they'll take care of the rest.
"Are you ready to go virtual?"
This guy is already there waiting for you...
Maybe they should check some Kenyan accounts.

(But, only if you are please to be from Nigeria)
You could turn your $266 into $20 billion bro....just send that e-mail.
Hey, civil wars can be very expensive...
Especially when you are sitting on at least a few billion barrels of oil...
There is probably enough oil under Africa to put off PO for awhile but how do you do business there with all the front end corruption short of killing everybody? 10 years ago I predicted that the Chinese would do just that. I still think the Chinese, in the not too distant future will colonize Africa by killing off all indigenous populations.
There may be enough to keep on the plateau...

Check out the consumption line... I don;t see suppy rising as fast...
Nigeria. The land of opportunity. With a hammer and chisel you can even get free gasoline from a pipeline until you generate that little spark of freedom.
If I had a son he'd look just like a Nigerian email scammer
niggaaaa!
Day light robbery! smh.
LOL, as they say in Naija..I go chop your dollar!!!
Simple explanation: "the check is in the mail".
The cousin of my Nigerian cousin is...
...another Obama half-brother.
What's a few billion between brothers?
More snappy T-shirts like that is bullish for virtual currencies.
Good luck getting your money from Goodluck.
Maybe they should look in President Goodluck Jonathan's Swiss bank account. I'll wager $20 billion, or more, can be found there. And yes, that's really the name of the President of Nigeria.
UBS, Julius Baer, Credit Suisse, the 17 Kantonal banks, the list is long, and don't forget all the Liechtenstein banks....
It was the Princess in the mud hut who did it.
Something is fucking up! I'm missing $20 billion too!
