Serious matter that went up to the Presidency at a point. Buhari assented to an oil deal and later rescinded assent.
Same fight that scuttled Seplat Mobil oil deal.
Both founders were getting injunctions against each other at a point.

The genesis is that ABC Orjiakor an Igbo man is putting only Igbos in position in Seplat whether qualified or not and Austin Avuru the Confounder from the SS is resisting, insisting on balance.
Orjiakor is picking those loyal to him so that the heists committee while he as at the helm can be kept secret since they're loyal to him.

However, Austin Avuru is from the Niger Delta and has more contacts in the oil industry. He is showing Seplat Hell

You saying, Orjiakor was doing what Mr. Roger Brown has now been accused of?

I guess it's a tactic that a caught thief would accuse his catcher of theft.

Yes he has choices! He can appeal to a higher court. It's not as if he is guilty already after all.

A country where you're not a citizen can send you back home and no court will save you. This is not even a matte of the court.

He likely would, but not because he is not bigger than Nigeria, but because Nigeria might be too small to follow it's own proper legal procedure.

Story…long and short is he has been kicked out so the earlier people like you make peace with the reality the better for you.You can’t come and bully me in my own house.

Hmmmm.....how many people are on the board of directors? How many are Nigerians? How many tiers of management do they have? What is the percentage of the local content in it? I believe the allegation is true....he should return to his country biko.

Next should be those Chinese and Indian run factories in Lagos and Ogun state. I cringe at how they treat Nigerians.

Take your discrimination and turn the other chick , its still better than northern Nigeria where the Europeans are sending terrorists to kill people in their homes.

Cause if you are not comfortable with slaving to white man in this world, better not plan to have mouths to feed.

If you are in the UK on visa and the home office send you a letter to attend meeting say you don't have to go and watch them revoke your visa. A visa is given at the discretion of the minister of the interior and can be revoked under similar discretion

Don't mind the idiot. He probably got agitated when I mentioned that Orjiakor was recruiting only Igbos into Seplat and forcing others out so as to cover his misdeeds.

Orjiakor wants to use tribalism to force a South South man out, meanwhile Seplat operates in the South South. Austin is showing him shege.

After UK revokes your visa, which will not ever be immediately, you still will have 28 days to appeal. After all, your non-attedance might be because a bus hit you on the way to the Home Office and ended you up in hospital.

This issue Roger Brown is having, I suspect it's from Austin's people. Actually, Roger Brown was brought into the system by Orjiakor. Roger Brown was not brought in as CEO then.
Roger Brown

The thing is that in this Seplat fight, Orjiakor has control of the Management of Seplat as he has kicked most of the independent-minded guys and non-Igbos out. However, Austin has connect with Regulators. Whenever Seplat is caught sleeping, the hammer falls.

Austin is the oil guy, Orjiakor is a Surgeon who just stumbled on the oil biz. Then, tribal politics between the SS and SE is a major factor here.

Really?
Despite my being grounded and always interested in news that can go a long way in determining the performances of companies shares, I am surprised and shocked that I know next to nothing concerning this Seplat issue.
Perhaps, something close to the one at Oando between Alhaji Manga and Deji Tinubu.
Bottom line is, most quoted companies on the NGX that are in the oil sector have war in their board rooms.
For the idiot that is tribalistically agitated because you mentioned a name that seem to ruffle his feathers, you should know by now that most tribal fools on this forum are nothing but empty barrel that can barely engage in meaningful argument aside the ones that gives them.the opportunity to insult others.

Forget the media. It was just a ploy to kick him out. They did same to their former CEO (Austin avuru) and kicked him out of the board. What was the racist atrocity that he committed ? I'm not holding brief for him but if its Seplat that I know its a dog-eat-dog company. Very political and an even unhealthy place for young professionals. Same Roger Brown that was the CFO for many years and prior to that a consultant who helped the company raise finance in its early days. The stakeholders want a corrupt CEO that will open the vault for them. That company is a mealticket to a number of NNPC workers, NPDC and NAPIMS workers. If you carry out a survey I wont be surprised if up to 90% of their staff got in via nepotism as all the people I know there are fond of saying say they got in through the chairman (ABC Orjiakor) or through the MD (Austin Avuru).

Professor Dike that was the first at UI was imposed by Nnamdi Azikiwe.

The history of the acrimony between the two tribes cannot be complete without the mention of that saga.
I do not want to start another tribal war on this issue. Especially as it will be most likely hijacked by people that knows nothing and can never know.

Roger is just a pawn in the game.

Seplat has been having various legal issues for a while. Both founders are fighting and taking themselves to court.

I thought Abc orjiakor was the founder and ceo, who's the white man again?

Even if due process is what you're looking for, go and read the backstory. This guy failed to respond to the invitation of the ministry twice claiming he was busy, after all the weighty allegations dangling around his neck.

What else should this guy do to be sent packing?

Have you worked with some of these foreign nationals before?
