The racket at the airport

The question being asked by people is, how possible is it that somebody would gain access to the tarmac undetected, considering the tight security in the airport? Our source explained that such illegal movement is being coordinated by a syndicate at the airport, which also works with airlines’ workers.

It was gathered that people who need such services pay as much as N800,000. They tutored on how to survive in the aircraft compartment. For one, it was learnt that they are given blankets and winter clothes with which they would keep warn while the plane is in flight across the Atlantic.

In the country of destination, the illegal immigrants are received by agents in the syndicate, who smuggle them into the
country.

Our source blamed the level of corruption at the airport on poor working condition, alleging that some of staff are paid
N30, 000 monthly.

If the Government embarked upon 5 to 10 year plans of delivering roads across the country through direct emergency public works doing away with the parasitic contract system, awarding contracts only for design not delivery, it could employ tens of thousands of jobless restless young men, put money in their pockets and boost demand for local goods and services and boost the countries infrastructure,

As the nation's power generation capacity continues to dwindle, an expert in the industry has revealed that only 40 per cent of Nigeria or less has access to power supply. A further breakdown of the figure shows that out of 140 million Nigerians, going by the last census exercise, only about 56 million are believed to have access to power supply.

A civil servant who sold passports and travel documents to illegal immigrants has been jailed for six years.
On at least 20 occasions mother-of-four Bridget Eworth, 39, granted 13 Nigerians the right to remain in the UK when they were not entitled to stay here.

It was also found that a £1,000 cheque had been paid into her bank account from one of the immigrants.

A judge at Croydon Crown Court said it was clear that Eworth, of Thornton Heath, South London, had been operating her scam as a business.
It was the third conviction in a year for similar offences of a member of staff at Lunar House, the immigration centre in Croydon.
Angus Bunyan, prosecuting, said Eworth was a case worker in the application processing team.
'She was in a position of trust and responsibility. Among her duties were the granting, referring or rejecting of applications to remain in this country,' he said.
She had the power to grant the applications and she would stamp the passport or immigration documents.
'In short, she had the power to decide whether someone could or could not stay in the country,' said Mr Bunyan.
'Between May 2004, and February 2007 she systematically and dishonestly granted extended or indefinite leave to remain in this country to Nigerian nationals who were not entitled to such leave.'
Eworth, who used her single name, Idigbe, had worked in the department since 1990.

The fate of General Babangida's political program is inextricably linked to the performance of his economic program. And in the short term, Western diplomats and Nigerian officials believe that further strains from the austerity measures seem certain.

Less than a decade ago the picture was much different: the oil boom in the 1970's temporarily gave Nigeria the illusion of limitless wealth and opportunity. Nigeria was producing more than 2 million barrels of oil a day and earning $26 billion in 1980, much of it from sales to the United States.

But with the steep drop in world crude oil prices, Nigeria went from being black Africa's most conspicuous consumer to its biggest debtor. It now owes about $30 billion, with more than a third of that in short-term loans that the Government has been unable to pay on time.

Perhaps the most important promise made by the new military leaders was to reopen stalled talks with the International Monetary Fund on rescheduling Nigeria's unmanageable foreign debt, now estimated to be $22 billion to $25 billion. Half of all Nigeria's annual oil revenues ($12.4 billion in 1984), which account for 95% of its total export earnings, are believed to be sucked up by interest payments on the debt. Moreover, as the world price for crude oil has declined over the past four years, Nigeria's revenues have been cut in half. Buhari had been seeking an IMF loan of $2.5 billion to $3.5 billion to help deal with the growing economic crisis, but he had refused to accept the international agency's demands that Nigeria first devalue its currency, the naira.

In 1983 alone, according to Oil Minister Tam David-West, $1 billion in petroleum was secretly diverted from state oil terminals to foreign tankers, with Nigerian businessmen and politicians taking the profits. Some reports say $1 million a day was skimmed from the public treasury. Transport Minister Dikko reportedly amassed a $1 billion fortune, much of it outside the country.

If people prosecuted Jesus Christ when he was here on earth, who is the pope wey dem no go prosecute. Well, make dem remember the biblical quote "touch not my annointed and do my prophet no harm" and "do no condemn so that you will not be condemned."

In my opinion, Wenger has one season left - he should NOT be offered another contract till he wins again at this club. Failure to do so will be to continue in an endless cycle of 'rebuilding'. In my opinion, Wenger has one season left - he should NOT be offered another contract till he wins again at this club. Failure to do so will be to continue in an endless cycle of 'rebuilding'. Wenger's project has failed abysmally.

I never said that 1.1 billion people be charged with pedophilia.  Let's not get moronic about this.  Those guilty of it should be charged of it. and those institutions guilty of the coverup should be charged likewise.

The pope, the head of this paedophilic organisation, was aware of it's activities and conspired in the cover up.  Again if it was any other organisation it would be disbanded and all it's members charged with their crimes.  But this is the Roman Catholic Church.

According to the document, accusers and witnesses are bound by the secrecy obligationduring and after the process but certainly not prior to the initiation of the process. There is nobasis to assume that the Holy See envisioned this process to be a substitute for any secular legalprocess, criminal or civil. It is also incorrect to assume, as some have unfortunately done, thatthese two Vatican documents are proof of a conspiracy to hide sexually abusive priests or toprevent the disclosure of sexual crimes committed by clerics to secular authorities. Thedocuments were written in a style and within an ecclesiastical context common for that pre-conciliar age. Both are legal-canonical documents written in highly technical language. TheEnglish translation of Crimen sollicitationis, though basically accurate, is also strained andawkward which can lend itself to misunderstanding

@4Play

Well if you go on twitter and Digital spy most of the white Brits who watched the program  are praising the Nigerians because of the program showed them hard at work and pursuing their dreams. The Nigerians on twitter on the other hand are complaining because Lekki and VI weren't shown.

In my opinion there is no point in showing the rich Nigerians in Lekki and Vi when they are the minority as that does not represent Lagos.

EloSela:
It wasn't that bad was it?

Too often these types of people are ignored by the Nigerian media who only like to focus on the super rich or celebrities. I think it is good that the BBC focused on these types because not only do they make up the majority of Lagosians, they are also the most honest and hard working diligent people in the city. Unlike the Super rich who are most times crooks or people who have attained the wealth through dubious means or by mistreating others.

eldee:
Exactly what I'm saying, these facts are in the papers already.
Me listing them will only lead to you trying to counter these facts and one long forum trial where we are the lawyers, witnesses and judges.

Now these people have come out with Richard Dawkins to go the whole nine yards, the question here is can the Pope be tried??

eldee:
That's between Richard Dawkins and the CPS.
They have come out to say they've got evidence, the validity of that however is for the CPS to check.
That's part of the trial process that I hope will take place.

Now those comments I made on this thread were against the believers in the myth of papal infallibility.
I've said it many times that he's innocent until proven guilty . . . but to say he is/should be immune is the B.S I'm against.

another observation has come to my attention.  I've noticed that certain psychological profiles/types are drawn to certain professions.  Ie.  Many gays are drawn to the arts, like dancers, or fashion designers.  etc

and Many paedophiles seem drawn to catholicism.  

Or is it the other way round.  what is the connections between certain professions and psychology types.

That's exactly what I'm trying to avoid, a press trial.
I'm not going to come here and say what I can't prove, let's leave this to the lawyers.

You putting me on the witness stand is obviously an easy way for anyone to label me anti-catholic.

So you're proud to admit that 'Saint Peter's successor' committed a crime against humanity and is only escaping from flaws in the law??
Wow!!! I'm apalled . . . WWJD?? The charges have not been proven, hence the need for a trial
