see this castrated son of a bush meat with a decayed cerebrum and limp limbs. if u push beyond this line I'll make you wish u were a byproduct of an abortion

aguiyi:

am sure you have never worked in a corporate environment.

the reason budgets are drawn is so that everybody is guided [/b]and if for any reason you act outside of its provisions you go in for it.

do the needful is an English word. its means do what was agreed in the budget as the approved expense

ballabriggs: Another funny one is from the criminal Maduka. Trying to play on our intelligence with "morality". The same dubious strategy he used when he had his issues with Ify Uba.

A tax thief and a cheat.

payless:


Hey rabid dog, I think you stay in your cage and way for your turn to get euthanized.

Goddex:

She approved it for NCAA and advised they "Do the needful" according to the law. That is what she should do. A minister overseeing a large ministry like Aviation with several parastatals may not personally be involved with transactions to that level you think.

torkaka:

The bullet proof cars were not approved in the budget, so why did she approve "approved, do the needful" on something that was clearly illegal? I see incompetence of the highest order!!

aguiyi:

tax avoidance and tax evasion are two different things, its the latter that is a crime. stop talking what you dont know

ghettogospel:

No one from my lineage can be as dumb as you. Going by most of your submissions here, it safe to say you gat akpu as a replacement for brain cells.

ballabriggs:

Close your mouth. What is avoidance? It is using a tax regime to ones benefit.

How does underdeclaring your import fall into avoidance?

He has clearly hidden the details of his transaction from the tax man and this makes him a tax thief and cheat.

gurnam:

Your head is correct....

The guy you replied clearly understood that there is difference between avoidance and evasion....he just doesn't know the definitions of the two terms..

ballabriggs:

A criminal man. For example, I may opt to receive more shares from a company in place of dividends so as to avoid personal income tax. That is clearly me using the tax regime to my advantage which is avoidance.

But where I underdeclare what I have received, it is clearly evasion.

Maduka got waivers to import ordinary cars. He then applied same waivers to specialised vehicles which are 10 times above the price of the cars which the waivers apply to. That is criminal and a theft from the treasury.

aguiyi:


don't sound like you know more than the national assembly members. they have done their hearing and investigations, lets wait for the report.

it could be adverse or favorable to her but one thing is clear to me, those cars have not been received or used by the ministry, the national assembly if truly they know their job and want to do it will order the cancellation of that transaction. All that will be lots is the management fee and processing fee for the facility.

Prof Corruption: "Do the needful" is the funniest phrase ever deployed to defend Madam Oduah!

1. Would NCAA have gone ahead with the deal with only "Do the needful" on the memo? What was needed to execute the deal was an approval by the Minister. Stella Oduah gave that approval. This is not a case of NCAA executing a deal without getting an approval from the Minister. Stella has exonerated the DG of NCAA from any wrong doing, at least up to this point. "Not approved" is clearly different from "approved, do the needful".

2. Does she have powers to give that approval considering the amount involved? Minister's approval limit is N100 million, anything more than that requires approval by the Federal Executive Council. But Stella gave an approval for a deal amounting to N255 million without FEC approval. Obviously, NCAA does not have means or powers to table anything before FEC without going through the Minister of Aviation. So, Stella is still responsible for the approval she gave to NCAA.

3.It beggars belief that a Minister would approve such an amount of money without prior discussions about the deal or without an elaborate briefings on methodology of execution. You can't just approve what has not been examined to your satisfaction. You read, schedule an appointment with subordinates, ask questions (if you are not clear about anything), then approve. If you have doubts about anything, you demand such is fixed before approving the deal. But once you approved, it means you are happy with everything.

So key questions answered.
1.Stella Oduah approved the deal
2.The approval was beyond her stipulated limit.
That's clearly an abuse of office.

This investigation has also exposed Maduka as a shady business man. He lied to both Ministry of Finance and NSA on a matter that ordinarily should be straight forward. Lagos did not order armored vehicles, Ministry of Finance did not and could not approve waiver for NCAA because it did not even submit any application to that effect. Ditto for NSA. But here we are NCAA have armored cars with fraudulent NSA clearance, all thanks to Crook-Mas Maduka. That's not all. The cars supplied have different chassis number to ones quoted on invoices, which speaks volume of the extent of desperation to cover up the obvious. Hear Okonjo Iweala here:

http://www.newsexpressngr.com/news/detail.php?news=3301&title=%E2%80%98Oduahgate%E2%80%99:-Okonjo-Iweala-clears-the-air,-says-no-duty-waiver-granted-for-armoured-cars&scid=15
So, the importation and subsequent clearance of these cars did not follow laid down procedure. Maduka has more explanation to do.

That's not all. Read this:



Now to the bank angle:
While first bank called it a loan, NCAA called a mere understanding, yet millions of naira have already been expended.
Read this:

And the minister approved all these without questioning. Approved just do the needful! Stella is a big thief.
http://dailyindependentnig.com/2013/10/coscharis-sold-used-bulletproof-cars-to-ncaa-reps-allege/

So, if NASS did not approve the purchase, what do we call it? Extra-budgetary spending!

Put everything together:
****. Stella approved an extra budgetary spending to the tune of N255 million which is clearly above her legal approval limit. If that's not an abuse of office, I don't know what it is.

I expect a report from NASS that indicts Stella Oduah and Maduka.
