A High Court in London has dismissed a motion filed by U.S. firm, JP Morgan Chase, to halt its prosecution by the Nigerian government.
In a ruling on Thursday, the judge, Andrew Burrows, held that the American investment/finance firm “owed Nigeria a duty of care; as indicated by an implied term in the written agreement”.
“The duty of care was neither inconsistent with nor excluded by the terms of that agreement,” the court ruled.
Background

The Nigerian government had sued JPMorgan over its alleged failure to block payments made from a massive oil deal that is subject to a string of international corruption investigations.
PREMIUM TIMES reported how two multinational oil firms, Shell and Eni, in 2011 transferred $1.1 billion to a Nigerian government account in JP Morgan for the oil block.
About $800 million of the money was subsequently transferred by the Nigerian government to accounts controlled by Dan Etete, former Nigerian petroleum minister who claims ownership of Malabu. Malabu was the oil firm Mr Etete, as petroleum minister in 1998, awarded the oil block, OPL 245, to.

The money paid by the oil firms is believed to have been laundered by top officials of the two oil firms and former officials of the Nigerian government during the Goodluck Jonathan administration. Many of those suspected to be involved are being prosecuted in Nigeria and Italy.
It is because of the ‘fraudulent’ transfers that the Nigerian government sued JP Morgan. The government claimed that the global bank should have known the money was being sent to suspicious characters.

In the civil suit filed in 2017, the Nigerian government accused JP Morgan of “gross negligence” in the events that resulted in the transfer of the funds.
According to the suit, the Nigerian government demanded a refund of $875 diverted from the government’s account.

#SnatchAndDie #SnatchAtYourOwnRisk

THE Presidency on Tuesday accused the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP of being jittery over the orders by President Muhammadu Buhari to security agencies to deal ruthlessly with anybody that attempts to snatch ballot boxes during the forthcoming elections.

The Presidency also reiterated President Buhari’s comment that anyone who dares to snatch ballot boxes during next weekend’s elections will be doing this for the last time, saying it should be seen as a strong message against the long history of savagery associated with elections in the country. Speaking to State House correspondents, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, recalled some past elections in parts of Nigeria, during which innocent voters lost their lives while ballot boxes were being snatched by armed thugs. He said the President had the safety and security of Nigerians uppermost in mind when he made the comment, and should be praised rather than criticized for issuing this stern warning to potential ballot box snatchers. Shehu further expressed concern about those attacking the president’s comment, and their worry over the fate of anyone caught snatching ballot boxes. Acording to him, “This sounds like members of the opposition, specifically the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP who have perfected plans to rig the elections and to snatch ballot boxes. They can tell that President Buhari is not prepared to tolerate their antics this time around, and they are afraid. They have shown their intent.”

The presidential spokesperson noted that no one had anything to fear from the President’s comments if their conscience and intentions were clear. He said, “Let’s just have free and fair elections and no one need worry about anything. “Snatching ballot boxes often entails putting the lives of innocent Nigerians at risk. About 10 years ago, evidence was brought before an election tribunal from one of the states in North Central of the gruesome killing of 26 prospective voters by ballot box snatchers. “Their modus operandi is well known. They storm election venues in commando style, overwhelm the law-enforcement agents and seize ballot boxes leaving a trail of death and injury.” Continuing, he said, “Anyone who dares to put the lives of innocent citizens at risk in their desperation to rig elections must be prepared for the possibility of losing their own lives because our security agents will certainly not stand by, clap for them and watch them kill and maim.”

In a presidential contest, every candidate has to fight for every vote in every state. But a party that doesn’t recognise that some states are more important than others cannot be a serious contender for the presidency. Just as crucial as the campaigns is the acknowledging that some states are winnable than others. It is why President Muhammadu Buhari could not afford to turn his back on the governor of Kano. Buhari had a choice to make: to sustain the political structure that can get him reelected or fight corruption to a standstill against the governor. The latter would be fighting those on his own team and even the hands that feed him. If the 2019 presidential election were a chess game, Kano and the sitting governor in the state would be APC’s queen on the board. Governor Ganduje is the pillar of Buhari’s campaign and if he had been successfully taken out of the game, PDP would have stood a chance of winning the state, the states around it and the presidential poll. But the party seems to have conceded the entire northwest to APC.

But the party seems to have conceded the entire northwest to APC. Strongman of the opposition PDP in Kano and former governor of the state, Rabiu Musa Kwakwaso, has played his part but PDP at the national headquarters has strategically failed to back him up. This is evident in the party’s campaign rally in the state. Yes, they could not have hoped for a larger crowd and it was credit to Kwankwaso’s organisational skills, but the rally was more about the former governor’s ego than it was about the candidacy of Atiku Abubakar. Senate president, Bukola Saraki, has said the numbers don’t exist to support a Buhari victory. On the contrary, it is Atiku that will find it hard to make up the needed numbers to coast to victory. This is no longer about a state-by-state count, some states matter more than others. In Nigeria’s electoral map, 10 states are of strategic importance in winning the presidential election. Those 10 states account for close to 14 million of the 29 million votes cast in 2015. Seven of those states are today, still seen as APC strongholds. But five of the 10 states – Lagos, Rivers, Kano, Kaduna and Katsina – are gold mines for votes.

Back then, President Goodluck Jonathan recognised that he had Rivers in the bag. The three northern states were out of his reach. That left Lagos, which was his one and only realistic path to retaining the presidency. That was why in the last days of the campaign, he fought tooth and nail, devoting most of his energy and resources to the southwest and Lagos in particular. In 2019, it is Kano that has that privileged position and it would take only a delusion to think PDP can put up a fight there. But why assume any of these states will vote for Buhari again?

Nobody has suggested that Buhari will lose in either Borno or Yobe because voters there are disappointed with his performance. It is a mark of Buhari’s achievement that bombs are no longer going off in places like Abuja, Suleja, Kaduna or even Kano. On the economy, it is important to understand that majority of farmers today are still in rural areas and make up majority of those of voting age. Programmes of the APC have opened up opportunities for many of them in agriculture.

On the economy, it is important to understand that majority of farmers today are still in rural areas and make up majority of those of voting age. Programmes of the APC have opened up opportunities for many of them in agriculture. Virtually every policy of the Buhari government has been geared towards uplifting the lives of the most vulnerable, who have always been neglected by successive governments. The ban on the importation of rice and the subsequent Anchor Borrowers Scheme has no doubt, changed the fortunes of farmers in the country. Even the subsidy that has supposedly been made on fertilizer has for some time, been a scam, an avenue for a few people to enrich themselves. On that too, change has come. There will be very few farmers willing to go back to PDP’s management style. Then there are the social intervention programmes. Every year, in last three budget cycles, the government has budgeted roughly N500bn on these programmes. Even the TraderMoni which is designed more as a trade promoting venture, targets those that are just managing to get by. Nothing could be more offensive than suggestions from the hard-hearted that the scheme is idiotic. Vote buying or not, it has opened doors for millions of people who normally would not be the focus of government initiatives. And for them, that is change as promised and delivered.

OP , you are confirmed mumu ×100. Do you think ballot boxes snatchers come empty handed? They come with dangerous weapons to kill.So they should be watched why electorates and officers being killed?

The United Kingdom chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has commended the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to extend electioneering campaigns, saying it will help the party reach out to undecided electorates.

Mr Jacob Ogunseye, spokesperson of the chapter, said this in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja, adding that President Muhammadu Buhari was unbeatable because of his track records of developmental achievements.

According to him, the president’s achievements in all sectors of the country’s economy will speak for him anytime any day and will secure the votes of Nigerians for him. News men had earlier reported that INEC, reversed its earlier decision to suspend electioneering The commission, in a statement issued on Monday in Abuja by Mr Festus Okoye, its National Commissioner and Chairman Information and Voter Education Committee, however, said that campaigns would end by Thursday midnight.

Shame on PDP

A national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, said on Thursday in Lagos that the APC would send the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar, into retirement on Saturday for the good of Nigeria.
Mr Tinubu said this in a statement by his Media Officer, Tunde Rahman.
”This election is more than a contest between two men, President Muhammadu Buhari and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, for that one exalted chair.
”Look, I have made no attempts to hide my friendship with Atiku. We are friends before this election and hopefully we will be friends after Feb. 16 when he goes into retirement.
“For the good of Nigeria and even the good of Atiku himself, we will do well to send him into retirement on Saturday.
”Perhaps, we should also send Obi into retirement along with his boss come Feb. 16. Perhaps together they might manage to discover the place where they might learn compassion for the common man,” he said.
Okowa Campaign AD
Mr Tinubu said there was not much good that could be found in the policies and programmes announced by the PDP.
“Atiku’s answers to our economic challenges are to shrink and restrain government from being the active catalyst toward a diversified economy that assured broadly-shared prosperity through the just allocation of wealth and reward according to sweat and toil put forth by the Nigerian people.
“They seek an unfair, unjust and unequal Nigeria. Their definition of Nigeria is a nation run by the greedy, for the profit of the rich, at the command of the mighty,” he said.
Mr Tinubu said the objective of the APC was to remake Nigeria into a great nation.
“Our vision is the opposite of theirs, Unlike the PDP, we, the APC, are anchored to the proposition that every Nigerian is entitled to equal access and sufficient economic opportunity so that he may use his talents, skills and committed exertion to carve for himself and his loved ones the decent and good life every human being seeks.
“The ordinary person is not to be shortchanged of the fair dividends of his honest sweat and diligent labour simply because he may be poor or because the powerful and wealthy want more.
“Because of the APC’s concerns for the struggles of the average person, we launched beneficial social welfare programmes such as the school feeding programme, Trader-Moni and N-Power.

As such, we have made progress caring for our most needy and vulnerable through these and other innovative and unprecedented policies. These programmes are of the type all great nations do for their citizens,” he said.
Mr Tinubu said the APC was not satisfied by what had been accomplished, saying that what had been done was the opening phase of a more ambitious undertaking.
“We have just begun to fight poverty and reform this economy on the scale required. Though we have helped millions, several millions more are needed to end poverty’s stranglehold on their lives.
“We must expand the scope and reach of our social welfare programmes to encompass those other people who have been denied access to the productive economy through no fault of their own.
“Additionally, we must put idle hands to work to build a modern infrastructure that will energise agricultural output in rural areas and foster labour-intensive industrialisation in our growing cities, ” he said.
The former governor of Lagos State said the second term of Mr Buhari would be dedicated to changing the structure of the economy for the better.
“We must amend our national economic architecture to unlock the full potentials of our people and our land. To me, this is the core mandate of government for and of the people.
“Throughout the campaign, we have talked about taking Nigeria to the Next Level. To me, this Next Level is informed by forging a new partnership between government and the governed to create a more just and prosperous economy for all.
The beginning of this new partnership is already taking shape. As stated before, we have initiated a first phase of social welfare programmes,” he said.
Mr Tinubu, a former senator, urged the people of South West to join APC in implementing the Next Level agenda.
“The South West has always been at the vanguard of progressive governance in Nigeria. Today should be no exception to this historic role we have played.
“I ask the people of the South West to join the APC so that we attain the Next Level by implementing this bold and good new partnership built on the following pillars: power, infrastructure, housing, industrialisation, agriculture and social security,” he said.
Mr Tinubu said the coming elections were a choice between progress and retreat.
“The future is uncertain until we enter it. Feb. 16 is Election Day and on that day Nigeria shall step into its future.
“How you vote on that day will determine whether we walk into the future in a manner that guides our subsequent steps toward the national greatness that calls to us or will we walk into it backwards as if feebly trying to reinvent the past.
“One road leads to a certain replay of the economic injustices of the past. It is a road well-worn with familiar pitfalls and setbacks built into the very nature of it.
“The other road provides the truest, brightest chance for us to enter into our hopeful future but only if we are brave enough to believe in our capacity to improve our nation,” he said.
Mr Tinubu urged Nigerians to vote for Mr Buhari for a secured future.
“This is the future we must enter. This is the future the APC champions. This is future you must choose on Election Day. Vote for yourselves by voting for President Buhari,” he said.
Mr Tinubu urged Nigerians to conduct themselves peacefully before, during and after the elections to ensure a violence-free exercise.
