Forget ethnicity and focus more on fighting the enemy of our nation. Boko Haram is a piece of cake when we are talking about corruption in Nigeria. Corruption is what is killing Nigeria and Nigerians every single sec, worse than Boko Haram in every way. It makes me laugh when I see how sincere and how much spent on fighting Boko Haram, Nigeria would become a better place if the same energy is put on fighting corruption. I've also noticed that Fani Kayode hasn't really said much about the BMW scandal, simply because he did exactly the same thing during his time as minister of Aviation. He had so much to say about the plane crash, but nothing much about the scandal; this is because all these people are nothing but political thieves that need to be punished regardless of their ethnic group. Anything less, Nigeria and Nigerians will remain exactly at the same spot for many years to come. |

specco: Oga Jona is no fool. You can continue to shout yourselves hoarse. He knows a performing minister if he sees one. All your hissing and puffing wont change a thing. The woman has done a lot for the aviation sector under her watch. Maybe most of these haters don't even know the location of any airport around them to judge the 'before' and 'after? Just take a trip to the nearest airport to you and see things for yourself. Ethnicity aside. How can two freaking cars rubbish all that. P.h.d clowns at work. Perfoming minister or Pancake minister with all the news of how plane crash is been averted everyweek! i've never seen the aviation industry in so much disarray until mrs stella!!! oh! she's deceiveing them with the fake renovation of enugu Let's call a thief a thief and leave no room for corruption. |

Fadelex: I'm getting irritated by all these senseless defense of the minister, some kids here are accusing southwest of witch-hunting, now let me refresh your memory... Guy you too much. I understand igbos plight that corrupt pple are everywhere in government Parastatals bt have they been caught?No is the answer and for those that have been caught their case is still in court. Dimeji Bankole stepped down,Etteh stepped down why must her own be different even if she escapes with the inflated money from the armoured cars she needs to resign that's not too much to ask. |

seunfly:I am ashamed that young and intelligent minds now use ethnic and religious remarks to discuss issues of value to citizens. Its quite sorrowful. I do believe that sound minds will never rotten to this "political trick of Nigerian democracy". Misuse of public funds and unwarranted approvals now wear the face of tribal correlation. Corruption now treated without disdain. Nigeria, in such a short while has plunged into the pits we never anticipated. Its a phase I believe will fade soon. |

The House of Representatives committee on Aviation, this afternoon began hearing on the purchase of two armoured cars for the aviation minister, Stella Oduah, at the cost of N255 million. The hearing was earlier scheduled to hold on Tuesday but was postponed to allow the minister, who was away in Israel for a bilateral air service agreement signing, to return to the country. PREMIUM TIMES’ National Assembly correspondent, Ini Ekott, will provide you with updates as they unfold from the hearing room. ——————————————————————————————— 15: 07 Coscharis’ Maduka: To the best of my knowledge, we followed all due process. We were interviewed by SSS. We were interviewed by the National Security Adviser. Every due process by law was followed. “We do business with morality,” he says. Another Coscharis official: Armoured cars are in levels; Level B7 is the highest for any civilian/VIP armoured cars. More than that is for military tanks. Coscharis: The controversial cars are level B7. The BMW 760 series, bought by NCAA, goes for 418 thousand Euro from factory without shipping cost, taxes, etc. Coscharis offers to demonstrate a powerpoint to show how it arrived at the cost. But is disallowed by committee. 14.55 Coscharis’ Maduka: “People have spoken, different media have written, I kept quiet. Nobody has called me to ask anything. But I thank God for this opportunity to state my own side of the story.” “People have called me from US embassy to ask when did you start money laundering.” He says the whole controversy is “politically motivated”. He pleads to be allowed to speak. Mr Maduka said the matter is so important that his Uncle died and will be buried tomorrow, but he has to attend the sitting. He said he is prepared to give details how Coscharis arrived at the price. 14.46 First Bank asked to step aside. Coscharis takes over. Coscharis chief, Cosmas Maduka, calls the car scandal “very controversial matter that has made newspaper headlines for two consecutive weeks” as he takes the hot seat. 14.37 First Bank cannot explain how the loan given to NCAA for all its 54 cars climbed from earlier stated N564 million to N643 million. The bank claimed earlier that the difference was because the two armoured cars were not included-apparently untrue because of the cost. Under questioning by the committee, the bank now says only the NCAA can explain the difference; the bank says it was only concerned about what the NCAA as a customer asked for. “Our job as financier are based on what the customers are asking for” 14.29 Interaction with First Bank representative continues… First Bank: The armoured BMWs were not part of the first order from NCAA which comprised mainly Land Cruisers totaling less than N600 million. House chair, Nkiruka Onyejeocha: So could it be that the BMWs were an afterthought? First Bank: That’s for the NCAA to answer. 14.24 “Absence of the minister is a slap on the face of the House,” Jerry Manwe, a member of the committee from Taraba state said, apparently angered by the minister’s absence. 14.23 First Bank official, Seyi Oyefeso, that oversaw the transaction addressed the House committee on behalf of the Executive Director of the bank. First Bank was invited to make proposals alongside other banks and tender was opened publicly on 21 of May, 2013 in the presence of other banks and media First Bank was afterwards shortlisted alongside 7 others. First Bank granted a loan facility of N643 million for purchase of assorted cars. 14.19 The Customs representatives at the hearing said Coscharis lied to the Ministry of Finance and NSA, making them to believe that the cars were for Lagos state government, for the National Sports festival. The NSA office issued End User certificate without knowing that it was doing so for cars to be delivered to Stella Oduah or the NCAA. So, in a way, the NSA office is right to have told PREMIUM TIMES it did not issue end user certificate for any bullet proof cars for Minister Oduah and the NCAA. 14.11 Deputy Comptroller General of Customs, Manasa Daniel Jatau, said the following The two cars were imported through Tin Can Port 2; Imported from Antwerp Netherlands. The vehicles were cleared 19/6/2013. Coscharis imported the cars without paying import duties since there was a waiver from the ministry of finance. Coscharis obtained the waiver claiming the armoured cars were part of 300 vehicles imported for the Sports festival in Lagos last year, and therefore the beneficiary was Lagos state government. The due import duty should have been N10.1 million. The cars had an End User Certificate from the NSA office in the name of Coscharis. The waiver obtained by Coscharis was for one year; as such the time of importation this year was covered. Customs admit its laws requires that it enforces duty on any item for which waiver was obtained, which was not used for the purpose stated-in this case, for Sports festival. 13.53 Car dealers as well as end users of armoured cars are mandated to seek authorization from the office of the National Security Adviser, NSA, before ordering or importing such vehicles into Nigeria. Last week, reliable sources at the office of the NSA told PREMIUM TIMES no authorization certificate was ever issued to either Minister Oduah or the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, to procure the controversial vehicles. 13.50 Nigerian Customs confirmed that the two cars were imported and cleared at Tin Can 2. The Customs said the import duty on the two cars which should have been N10 million plus were not paid because there was a waiver note issued by the finance ministry. Customs also confirmed there was an End User certificate issued by the office of the National Security Adviser, NSA. 13.43 The hearing, proposed to start at noon, started 25 minutes late. The minister is absent at the hearing. The committee said it will take a position on that later. http://premiumtimesng.com/news/147512-stella-oduah-armoured-car-scandal-house-committee-hearing-live-updates.html 1 Like |

arsenalwenger: I wont lose sleep as long as source of the info are punch, sahara reporters or premiumtimes. These media houses have proven to be shameless\unprofessional for the past few days in sham journalism. Very poor grammar .. Almost unworthy of a reply! All i can say is that if you are either Oduah's lapdog, paid to clean up her image online by discrediting others or you are just a long standing fan of corruption, you will be silenced and if you are a benefactor of corrupt proceeds or have been paid to protect corrupt folks, you will be found and JAILED INDEFINITELY! 1 Like |

[quote author=Emperor_00S]Enemies of progress at it again. They've raised more than a million thread just to rubbish the aviation minister, the bigger picture being to force her out of office and sabotage Enugu International Airport.

Same time people will still preach, the bull crap called one Nijireya, hmmmm. I'm getting irritated by all these senseless defense of the minister, some people are accusing southwest of witch- hunting, now let me refresh your memory... -former inspector general of police Tafa Balogun was dismissed, prosecuted and jailed by a Yoruba president yet no placard because we all knew tafa was/is a thief -former Health minister, Prof Adenike Grange was sacked by a Yoruba president because of fraud being perpetrated in ministry of health, no dust was raised because we knew she was guilty -former speaker house of rep, Mrs Olubunmi Etteh was removed as speaker because of inflated cost proposed to renovate houses of principal officers, she stepped down cuz of pressure of integrity group led by future bribe taker farouk lawan. no protest because we knew she was trying to steal our collective wealth -former NPA chairman, chief Olabode George was prosecuted and jailed because of contract splitting, no solidarity rally cuz we knew he was guilty of the offence -former interior Minister, chief Sunday Afolabi was sacked, arrested and detained for his role in sagem contract scam.. this was done by d man he ruthlessly campaigned for in 1999 elections...d man died while answering this case and no protest cuz we knew he damaged our system. -former minister of works, professor adeseye ogunlewe was sacked by Yoruba president cuz of the corruption in his ministry, heaven did not fall and they accused us that we are doing this because we are not in power, they forgot that; -obasanjo lost 1999 election in the entire southwest including his own ward in abeokuta and 2003 was widely believed to have been rigged in his favour in the zone -when obasanjo through victor ndoma egba proposed constitutional amendment in order to smuggle in third term agenda , the main obstacle of this agenda came from southwest (I know some will say it's because of their party differences) my fellow Nigerians, let us stop politics of tribe, this will not help us.... if princess Stella is guilty of any offence, she must be sacked and prosecuted. lest I forget, 9 ministers were recently sacked foe no reasons (we all know it's because of their affiliation with G7) and nobody is saying they were sacked because of their tribal background... enough is enough 2 Likes |

Stella Oduah is a big disappointment. After making such a significant impact in aviation ministry she blew up everything with such a stupid quest for armored car at terribly inflated cost. She should save herself more disgrace by honorably resigning or she should be booted out. |

It makes me laugh when you people make big deal out of Princess Greedy P1g's beautification of the airport projects. If you understand Nigeria the way I do, you would understand that more beautification projects, the more money inside Princess pocket. Beautification of the airport is not the first priority of any competent Aviation minister. Increasing safety across the enterprise and Setting up or improving Airport Operations And Federal Aviation Regulation are the main priority of any competent Aviation Minister. I'm sure that Princess has no idea of what her job description looks like, the only thing on her mind just like others is how to quickly steal as much as possible before she is replaced. Painting buildings and planting flowers all around the airport is not enough. Please guys stop this stup1dity, we, Nigerians deserve better than what we are getting from these thieves. |
