Last year, i and a friend met this fine girl. She had a car and was doing well for herself. We hung out on Christmas day but this girl refused taking anything. We wondered why she acted high on something. Every now and then she would go to her car, take a gulp of zobo from a water bottle. She later confessed it was her fifth bottle of codeine.

Lastly, my friend took a 200mg tab of tramadol, they had a marathon that day.

I have taken tramadol about 5yrs ago but prescribed by a doctor in the hospital. As a brother, he made me promise to abide by his instruction and gave me a serious warning before writing the prescription. He told me it was addictive and i should discontinue it with all efforts after his prescription is finished. True to his words, i had about 3 sleepless nights trying to quit before i returned to normalcy.

I had a very very painful boil in my nostril. I couldn't eat, brush my teeth or even wash my face. Thought of night was a nightmare because my pains tripples in the night so i couldn't sleep apart from the serious migraine. Tramadol gave me a huge relieve but after the boil healed few days later and i stopped taking the drug, i couldnt sleep. When i couldn't sleep 1st day i took a tab and surprisingly i slept like a baby. The next day same. I now realized what the doctor told me is true and it downed on me i had to stop. Well, i dumped the drug, lost my sleep for 3 days before lack of sleep did its job. Hallelujah!!!

Thats how i was saved from tramadol.

I don't have pics of the particular project, but here are few pics of ceilings created with plasterboard.

Whats the difference between plaster board and P.O.P.

brainpulse:
I must confess, this is a well detailed and packaged sound response quoting facts and figures with events and present underlying conditions.

As it is always said, there is always the second and third story to every issue, and its not the first to break the silence that is justified.

I like the role the presidency played against pressure to act without giving the opportunity to the other party to respond, this shows maturity against when GEJ sacked sanusi without investigating.

So the next thing is for an independent body to look into these weighty allegations and give recommendations to be acted and implemented.

In addition.

The way NNPC is structured now from what I read, it will be difficult for one person like Diezani to take absolutely decision & control of major contract unlike before.

Some one is annoyed that he doesn't have absolute power and influence in taking control as he personally wanted, but the man should understand what the act says and stipulates. I believe the act is the best for the industry.

In my opinion, it is disgusting to read that a Minister of state has no input on contracts awarded by an agency he has oversight roles in.

If the NNPC is taking a contract to FEC, who takes it? Buhari himself? What then is the role of the Minister of state when the Minister himself has too many roles.

This Minister of state is the immediate past GMD and has done such duties and set some of the rules, how come he is making baseless accusations on things he has firstclass experience in?

I know when i am being lied to.

Besides, if the GMD and his GED's are the ones who make up the NNPC tenders board, it means they hold both the cake and the knife. Of course the group will cut themselves big pieces without anyone's interruption. Diezanni or Baru can award whatever contract they want and how they want it.

Its mind boggling.

Even in their Site, they (marketers) only succeded in sweetmouthing uninformed buyers, scientists failed to convince engineers, auto technicians and DIY enthusiasts whether the 5W30 is synthetic, blend or mineral. This is terrible.

This means 5w-30 by Toyota is not synthetic. Only 0w-20 is.

EponOjuku:
Hahahahaha
So, you Biafran miscreants are now ready to die for another hausa man?

We always knew your Biafra nonsense was because you lot had no one to lead you. Now that another hausa man has come up for election, Biafra and Igbo Presidency can take a back seat.

Potopoto pigs.

You are getting it all wrong.

Igbos want to be President, they will never get it if they dont give and take. They have to give it then take it. They have refused in that thats why they are not getting. The reason why Yoruba is getting is because they give their support and get reciprocal support.

Its high time igbos played their cards well.

However, Atiku will not get them anywhere. The North West is the major block of the north if not Nigeria, am not sure Atiku will get it since he is from the North east. If he doesn't, then Igbos would have placed their eggs in the wrong basket.

Simmzz:
Am I the only one that wants GEJ back?

You are bro!

Win or lose, let Atiku know that this is his last contest. Buhari was only lucky GEJ f...ed up. Though Buhari is f...ing up, it doesnt mean Nigerians would repeat its mistakes.

I knew this will never happen even though i wish it was going to happen.

I thank God for my lack of interest in watching football leagues that have no relationship to my nation. Nigeria has put on a stake their right to get quality pay by allowing those who have no patriotism to this nation to own rights of the best channels in the world.

I am more interested in moviea and science documentary which i cant afford the premium price DSTV has pegged for it.

Paying almost the minimum wage monthly for TV is impossible for me.

May God helps us.

The more you try to justify the dumber you appear.

If you had bothered to follow the trail of comments between the person and I you wouldn't have commented cos the answer that eludes you had already been trashed in the comments. You don't expect me to start repeating my comment to everyone in your dumb category every time they asked that question.


It pays to read and a very important virtue of intelligence is patience and proper investigation.

I have read this thread from opening post to the last comment. I followed both of you.

I asked you a specific question based on a specific sentence in your post. All you have done is use words like stupid, dumb etc without attending to the question. Intelligent people do not avoid questioning or get unnecessarily pissed for being asked a question, dumb or not.

People who are knowledgeable offer explanations, people who are not knowledgeable offer insults, dont be part of the latter.

I am not an economist neither a bank or an investment specialist. I use common sense in matters that i am not a professional in.

Maybe you didnt comprehend my question so i will rephrase.

It becomes a crime because you cannot just transfer N1bn cash into another unrelated company's account let alone liquidate an investment into another unrelated company's account

From the above, you claim it is a crime to carry out that kind of liquidation. My question is, who processed the liquidation? It must have been done through the bank. The company with the investment that was liquidated must have given orders through official mediums for the bank to effect it. If the order of the company was a crime, why would a bank carryout the illegal liquidation?

Why would EFCC investigate the person who's company recieved the liquidated funds and not the bank that processed an illegal transaction or the company that ordered it. Or are you telling me that 1Billion can move from one account to another without the bank's approval. Is the processing bank not aware of the crime that they were processing?

I do remember, when my former boss wanted to transfer convert and repatriate about N30m and $100,000 from the company acc to the head office acc domiciled in Romania, all sorts of bottle necks where given to him as conditions which he couldnt meet. It meant it was a crime to repatriate such money outside the country so the bank gave him conditions he couldnt meet. 2 other banks also gave same conditions. He had to transfer the money to a BDC operator who gave him an exorbitant charge for the transaction.

Very funny message on the closed site

jomoh:
This is why you should not jump into people's conversation when you don't know the genesis and its eventual revelation. It makes you look stupid and dumb.

Those who are quick to rain insults actually donot have anything to give.

I asked a simple question, you obviously have no answer in your arsenal but a lot of insults.

There are no conversations on NL, there posts. Anyone can quote and post. Dont act dumb, it doesnt fit your argument.

jomoh:
Let me school you a bit but before I go on let me tell you about myself. I am a trained accountant who had worked in the 2 different commercial banks. Particularly booking investments and helping to liquidate investments. Something I did for quite a number of notable Nigerian businessmen.

Now when the say investment account, it does not mean theirs a particular account dedicated for such by the bank. An investment account is opened for you when you decide to make an investment and it automatically closes the moment the investment matures and its liquidated. You cannot transfer a single kobo from an investment account. You can only decide to liquidate the investment before the maturity date which is called draw down. Now if you are a private investor or individual, you may decide to liquidate the investment into any account that you provide but for a corporate account, you have to present a resolution if the company's board to be able to liquidate the investment into another company's account.

It now becomes a crime because the report didn't state that there was a letter to that effect.

It becomes a crime because you cannot just transfer N1bn cash into another unrelated company's account let alone liquidate an investment into another unrelated company's account. There has to be an agreement signed by the shareholders of the company to do so and their has to be a very tangible reason for such. If no tangible reason is given it will be interpreted as laundering money for a particular person in the company or the company is trying to avoid tax. Either which is a serious crime in any country.



The fact that Ibe Kachichwu's name is mentioned in the same line as his brother's and Energy resources (the company) maygoes to show that the two of them may have stakes in the company or they may not. If they do, it will make both of them to be liable to litigation when the veil of incorporation is lifted.

And remember the investigation is actually about the minister and everything surrounding him will be touch-lighted to reflect any wrong doing.



Yes it may sound like that but the I am not part of those people cos you've not seen where I mentioned categorically that Ibe kachikwu is directly involved. I only cleared your submission that no crime was committed.

Like I said earlier, it is all politics. The aim was to paint him bad by informing the public that he was under investigation but your submission that no crime is committed is not an excuse cause obviously a crime has been committed unless a meaningful explanation is provided and the explanation may and may not eventually be linked to Ibe Kachikwu.

About the bolded, who has committed the crime, the bank that approved an illegal transfer or the person whose account is the destination.

EFCC can do all the investigations they like, it will never make sense to rope Ibe Kachikwu's name in something that does not directly relate to him or his immediate family.

Elder4sure:
Always from the north! All hail bigot buhari!

Am disappointed you cant do your homework well before raining insults.

The Deputy Governor Vacancy was created by a retired female North central person from Kwara and a female north central person from Niger replaced her. How erong can that be?

The CBN governor is from South South. His successor will be from the north because the CBN position is rotated in most cases. Am sure ppl like you will cry to high heavens then without recourse to what has been the tradition.

Nothing much to say.

Dr Sarah was from a North central state and this replacement comes from a North central state.

Her portfolio isnt that loaded but she has done quite alot at her age. Good one for the youth.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
But Buhari is the minister of petroleum?

So what?

spotty232:
If we fail to tell our selves the truth, then we are just like the same politicians we criticize,we should forget who we love who we respect who we voted for, and say the truth when the truth needs to be said. Unbiased criticism is what keeps the developed countries where they are now, and we remain a third world country, every name mentioned in the letter from buhari to maru to the cabal to kachukwu himself are all part of the government and you say I should disassociate the corruption from the gov...

I didnt say you should disassociate corruption from government.

People who are corrupt are in government. You cant say government is corrupt because there are people who are in the government that are not corrupt.

Its just not a good generalization. People are corrupt not government.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
But you blamed Jonathan for everytin?

Yes i did, Jonathan gave NOI the order to give Dasuki Billions of Naira against her advice, knowing fully well the money was an illegal diversion. NOI said it, Dasuki said it, Jonathan didnt deny it.

You also need to tell me that Buhari gave the NNPC GMD the order to spend those monies the way he did.

spotty232:
I get you, but you should know that the government is not just buhari, buhari is leading a gov, there are other people in the same government, I have no evidence to say if buhari is or is not behind this , but the fact is the corruption you say is fighting back is part of this government, lets call a spade a spade

In your view, corruption is government and government is corruption, abi?

Am trying to make a point out of your post.

awa:
Bros what you need to understand is that if your personal family is doing well, the praises come to you but if anything goes wrong you are to blame as the head of the family. Buhari is the President.

Yes, very correct.

Why would a father defend his unmarried pregnant daughter whose act is a disgrace to him in the public? It doesnt appeal to my common sense.

You think all this negative publicity is Buhari's own doing? Something that tarnishes his anti corruption drive.

Its high time Nigerians started thinking appropriately.

Some people here are mentioning APC. Its not funny? What are we thinking? Where is common sense?

spotty232:
Lol I and my uncle wer discussing last night and I told him , charges wer going to come up against kachikwu from efcc, but I thought it would be like a week or two, but seeing this this morning,is the first time this government is surprising me, this is their fastest response to issues I hv seen till date.
May God help us in this country.i just pity kachukwu CUs his life and career is about to take a new shape and when they are done with him he'll regret ever writing that letter, he should know his name and religion does not look alike with theirs, so there will be no holds barred in treating his Bleep up......

I support your point but defer on the your inference on the government.

When you say government, it means Buhari ordered the release of this counter accusation on the Minister. I see no motive for a whole President to engage in mudslinging.

The person who has a motive is the NNPC GMD and his cronies. They are more likely to have a grievance to want to tarnish the image of their tormentor.

A lot of people always mention either the government or APC but i see the insinuations as baseless. Its corruption that is fighting back while rubbing mud on the government's responsibilities.

Its embarrassing to the government but the government wont embarass themselves.

So Dumebi Kachikwu is Ibe Kachikwu's younger brother.

So if money was liquidated to Dumebi's account, did the money end up in Ibe's account or that of his immediate family?

This case will not stick to the Minister. Its unfortunate how Nigerians always tries to discredit any whistle blower.

This is what happened with Jibrin of the House of reps.

Nbote:
Oga take tym out and understand my point. Yes I know what barriers are and dey are supposed to prevent vehicles of certain heights from going thru certain routes. Like U said some of these vehicles still follow thru these barriers which means dey aren't low enough or dey are but vehicles still find a way to pass thru but either way these vehicles trying to pass thru would have to negotiate their way thru. Overtime dey'll affect d stability of those barriers.

First off dat barrier must have been out of place

The above quote is what i dont agree with.

Even overpass bridges have maximum heights written on them but drivers still hit them in Abj and Lagos.
