Even after the same person has been exchanging letters with the same government and an agreement has been reached. Amechi Wike or Buhari is not at fault here. I think the custom were either not informed or someone is trying to create problems here

Customs are very much informed. They are just trying to cover their asses in case a legal issue comes up. All they will say is that the goods were abandoned and duties and holding charges were not paid after xx years, hence, the goods were forfeited to the government. More so since most of those letters were not addressed to customs.

Naijalabel:
And yet we were told unknown importers.

If you abandon your goods at the point of entry without going to pay duty and demurrage, the goods will be tagged 'imported by unknown persons' and forfeited to the FG after a while. This is despite that your name is on it. So far you don't come to claim your goods with the evidence of duty and other required payment.

I tire o.

Benny, you self dey here?

Someone cannot wear the same cloth within the spate of 8 months again?

And even who told u guys it is same cloth? Because it is same colour? Buhari has over time shown his fixative of wearing solid colours repeatedly.

So whenever he wears white Agbada everyday of the week, it means it's same cloth he wears throughout that week right?

Whenever he wears that his black Aboki babariga on international travels, it means it's same cloth right?

You guys should please use your senses. You are embarrassing the country with such shallow thinking.

Luizkid:
why are people trying so hard to prove he's alive, if he's alive then he's alive

They are trying to heal some people of their ignorance and stupidity.

Lalasticlala please move this thread to the front page to show the lies being circulated round..

Here is the link of the picture of Buhari and Abubakar Atiku last year which vanguard was circulating as recent.

https://www.naij.com/863336-another-apc-chieftain-visits-president-buhari-london-photo.html

The internet never forgets

When did Vanguard tell u that PMB picture and Atiku is recent?

I just don't understand, is it that they have kidnapped the brain of majority of youths in this country?

The level of shallowness and intellectual bereavement is mind blowing. Despite going up and down and presenting self as literate, they have shown themselves to be the greatest illiterates of the century that can't read and decipher simple news reports.

otunbakolawole:
So you say, but Wike is telling us based on those documents that Rivers state government can't pay duty of less than 300,000,000 naira without waiver? That Rivers state government can't negotiate demurrage cuts and with the terminal operator? Very funny! There is more to this than its been revealed.

The reason Wike would not want to pay is simply because the aircrafts right from time were to be in custody of the airforce. Read the Premium Times link below.

He knows that due to political differences with the FG and also his belligerent nature to the FG, they will deny him access to the helicopters.

So what's the point in paying 300m?? When in actual sense, security operations falls under the purview of the FG and Rivers state govt cannot use the aircraft as they deem fit.

But wait a minute, who in his right sense will even release military-grade helicopters to a personality like Wike? Civil war don start be that na.

freeze001:
If you say everyone should wait till the time lapses that would amount to some level of acquiescence. We cannot pretend that d country has not been polarised along ethnic n religious lines; the Judiciary has been headed strictly by Northerners for upwards of 30yrs and no Southern President has left any nominated CJN acting in limbo and unsure of his status. Naturally, if you're honest, u can clearly see how it feeds into the narrative of bias n religious intolerance on the part of the government.

The President is not at liberty to pick n choose who becomes CJN without proffering cogent reasons for rejecting anyone nominated by the CJN. It also goes against the spirit of the Constitution to simply wait out the three months and then have another nominee presented. If he has a problem with the acting CJN becoming substantive CJN hence his curious refusal to comply with constitutional requirements, he ought to state them formally within this 3 months and d nominee or acting CJN in this case should be afforded enough time to respond to whatever issues d executive may raise. Allowing the 3 months to lapse precludes all of those and does not bode well for democratic governance.

It is not out of place for d president to at all times act timeously, he doesn't have to be bound by law to do that! It's simple n common decency. Now I have always quarrelled with leaving an appointee in acting capacity for even longer than a month because it fetters his independence with his fate hanging in d balance because he doesn't know if he'll be confirmed or kicked put n replaced by another. The issue with Magu would have been avoided if d president had been proactive in having him vetted by d DSS say a month before the expiration of the tenure of d previous EFCC boss; once cleared, his name would have been forwarded to the Senate and he'd have been confirmed upon appointment. That way he doesn't play his hands and it begins to look like the Senate is threatened by his 'diligence' and then appears to deliberately scuttle his substantive appointment. That is not stampeding the president, it is proper practice n common sense.

Now, if the Acting CJN is passed over for his junior, that offends d principle of seniority within the judiciary. What happens next? Will he then be forced to retire without attaining the mandatory age of retirement when he's not incapacitated in any way? There must be balance in all things and frankly, d president should have jumped at the chance to have an arm of government headed by a southerner to avoid unnecessary disquiet and earn him even better acceptance. As it stands, he just keeps giving off the strong stench of a an ethnic and religious bigot.

All this passage for me alone?? Okay please. I agree to all your points, before you come back with x2 of this.

NOETHNICITY:
even Though Magu of effc's name was sent for confirmation afta almost 2yrs in acting capacity, the hypocrites didn't see anything wrong wit it.
now it involves a southerner pmb is being accused of bias.
this is jus he sadly our ppl ve become very blind.

I just dont understand what has come over them.

cuminside:
A president on holiday? which president of a country go on holiday?

Are you for real? You definitely is not of working age for you to say this. Let me tell you, if you work continuously without taking time off for a considerable period of time your productivity will start declining.

The framers of the constitution that allocated 28 working days as holiday for government officials are no dunce.

And yes, Presidents all over the world do go for their holiday from time to time.

Mr President cannot be stampeded. As of now, he has not run foul of the constitutional provision.

If he rejects the nomination of the NJC, they are bound to renominate another person.

He has neither signified his interest to send his name as substantive CJN or reject him. And he has not run foul of any constitutional provision as of now. Critics should hold on a bit until the Acting tenure spans out before they start their tongue-lashing.

The constitution did not say Mr President is mandated to only accept the first choice of the NJC. If he rejects him, they will simply renominate another person. There is no controversy.

Raypawer:
my question is, why pictures, why can someone just clear the air, at least a video.. or something more believable...

If they give you video, you'll say it's a prerecorded video.

So why bother? The man is on holiday, you guys should allow him rest fully, when he comes back next week, he will address the nation. Or your hateful excitement cannot hold on for just few more days??

UAW

My poiny is this

1. Since those shouting hes dead cannot prove to us where, when and what. They should keep their noise to themselve.
2. Likewise since those trying to prove hes alive cannot substantiate their claim.

3. Let us allow PMB enjoy his 10 days leave. February 6th is by the corner.

There are lots of issues confronting this country at the moment than all this fakes death news and fake alive news.

That is just it!

Let everyone maintain their cool.

Well, sorry if u feel insulted, I just got angry because you were accusing someone without actually showing the evidence that it is the person that released the pictures.

Bros let me tell you, no APC leader is wasting his time proving that Buhari is alive. Because Buhari is actually alive and well, you will see with your own eyes when he comes back next week. That was why I referred you to when same people has carried out similar propaganda.

What you didn't realise that got me angry is because you believed the reverse psychology propanganda being played.

I can categorically tell you this particular picture was released by Buhari haters just to make themselves feel good and sway the opinion of other Buhari critics. They have lots of social media accounts they created with Northerners' names to give themselves some authenticity. They then spill bullcrap with such accounts, and they themselves with their other accounts will now come out to raise a pseudo-alarm on what they used the parody account to post.

That was why I said wailers should continue deceiving themselves!

You know there is a difference being a critic and a hater. It is good to be a critic, it is part of the democratic process. But haters usually go beyond moral and ethical boundaries to reinforce their criticism to dangerous dimensions.

engineerboat:
I dont expect you to be this low. Anyway you say whatevet you like.

So its wrong for me now to say you people should leave Buhari alonr and let him have his rest, than disturbing us with fake pictures.

Whatever pleases you do. But get this always be mindful of what you say and i wont enter into the same mud of abuse with you.

Good day

engineerboat:
Sarki, Dropshot, Castedude take note that all this lies you people are trying to dish out will only highten the tension already created.

So stop posting liea. Let PMB rest please. By feb 6th, Nigeria will know the true state of their president.

Stop feeding us with childish lies

Continue deceiving yourselves. You and your ilks will release fake news to the social media, you'll then come to cry foul and forming the smart guy that identified the fake news.

Continue deceiving yourselves. By the time PMB comes back next week, I expect you all to bury your heads in shame.

You guys seem not to learn from history, or maybe you are just myopic.

This is the 3rd time unreasonable and senseless rumours of PMB's death will be released to the public.

The first was after he won the election and went to cool off in London before inauguration. That was the same way they were shouting up and down that the man has died.

Later, when he went for the treatment of an ear infection, same thing, wailers went agog with their fake news.

The funniest thing was that they always seem to forget that the man left the country on his feet. Before you know it, they will be going up and down that the man is on life support and dying or that he has already died.

Intelligent people don't swallow rumours hook, line and sinker.

Awoof. But you guys should be careful oh, as awoof dey run belle

Onayigaazeez:
RE: US COURT RULES AGAINST SENATOR KASHAMU

The sensationalisation of the ruling of the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit per Posner J. is but another chapter in the misinformation and deliberate falsification of facts.

This action was not brought against Senator Buruji Kashamu. It was initiated by him in 2015 before the attempted abduction saga occurred and was already pending in the District Court in Northern Illinois seeking to enforce the provisions of the Mansfield Act (a United States Law which forbids US law enforcement agents from carrying out law enforcement activities outside US territory).

At the time this action was commenced, all the Senator had was information that an abduction was being planned against him. Few months later that information was confirmed   when a battalion of armed and masked National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) officials attacked, sacked and laid siege to his home for six days until they were forced to leave his premises by court order.

Your topic is not catchy enough. Use the Naij.com report on Buruji's response. It has a good topic, and you can use the site as reference.

kenonze:
It takes discipline to work with EFCC.

Corrupt Nigeria can go any length to bring u down.
Ur family is not even safe.
Juju fit strike u.

Those politicians are desperate...

You are very correct. Did u read about the forfeiture order on Malabu? That deal alone can cause greedy and selfish looters to throw the country into total chaos.

The report estimated that particular oil block to have an excess of 9 billion barrels of crude. Yet, some high-powered crooks paid peanuts to purchase it.

That deal is the greatest rip-off of the century.

The proponents and backstage owners of that oil block can go to any length to frustrate that case.


They can deploy millions of dollars in resources to frustrate the EFCC on that case.


EFCC needs the support and cooperation of Nigerians at this time, I wonder why they are being castigated from different fronts.

Decypher:
Total Disgrace to the Adidas Clan and brown roof republic.
Afonjas will be here shouting Drug trafficking .. while they elected a Drug Lord as a senator.

He is a criminal and will definitely face justice sooner or later.

Majority opinion where he hails from is for him to go to the US and answer for his crimes.

joeprince23:
When ever i hear of APGA i remember betrayers in our regions SS/SE,this is the reason i will never support rochas okorocha... Infact i place am were i place amaechi

It is because of all these unending ego-driven fights that Okorocha left the party for them.

Your hypocrisy is as clear as daylight. You left Peter Obi who also abandoned APGA after immensely benefiting from the party as a two term governor, but went after Okorocha who only got one term as governor under APGA.

I don't understand these APGA at all, everytime na fight, fight, disagreement, disagreement.

There is bound to be disagreement within any association, but theirs always seem to stem from ego and as such no one is ready to ever let go for the other.

Shame... shame... shame...

See the nonsense a lawyer is writing. I don't blame him though, this write-up will impress Kashamu to settle the guy the more.


Is it the US security agencies that wants to come and arrest Kashamu here??

What if the case was initiated by Kashamu? Does that in anyway dispute the fact that he lost the case and as such can be taken to a competent court in the US to answer for his crimes?

Joel3:
he is APC member

Kashamu is among the core PDP members. He was part of the reasons OBJ fell out with GEJ.

Obj complained several times that the man is not worthy of the roles GEJ was pushing him to but GEJ paid no heed.

It is now you are claiming he is an APC member, when processes were being put in place to extradite him in 2015, you lots were screaming that they were witch-hunting him because he was in PDP.

The drug baron even locked himself in his bedroom and threatened to commit suicide if law enforcement agents come any closer, and he was hailed as the hero of PDP who defied Buhari.

Kashamu, PDP senator representing Ogun East, pls take a visit to the US. A free visit without need of applying for visa and without even purchasing a travel ticket.

This is a very mouthwatering offer anyone will jump at, I wonder why the senator is treating such a wonderful offer as a death sentence.

Loafers. We indeed need a part time NASS.

lovat:
When i was screaming against all the service Chiefs being from the north some yorubas like modath were harrasing me that competence should be the main criteria.


Now we can see the devil in action, how many of these meetings have they invited the CDS? NONE.


THESE meetings are never about Southern Kaduna rather its about buhari deteriating health

Are all the service chiefs from the North??

Is the Chief of Defence staff, Olonisakin from the North?


Is the Chief of Naval Staff, Ibas from the North?

Is the DG of Nigeria Intelligence Agency, Ayo from the North?

FisifunKododada:
So this post (NPA director) belongs ONLY Northerners? - Nonsense?.

Oga if u ever happen to be president and it becomes your perogative to appoint the MD of NPA, you can appoint whoever you want.

PMB has exercised his powers, you can do nothing about it.

GEJ and other previous presidents exercised same powers as they deem fit.

lifezone247:
You better tell him to reverse the importation of vehicles via land borders, cos over 500,000 men and youth are hungry and jobless because of this policy. @ last pics that's is my former controller ptm (tincan) and assistant controller (seme border) now ACG Olubiyi R.

The policy has come to stay after the 3 months grace period. No going back.

Let the people go and position themselves to snap up the jobs that would be created by the surge in activities at our own ports.

We can not continue outsourcing our jobs and income to Benin republic.

Afonja and worshipping of Hausa-Fulani. SMH

Who is this hate-filled soul. I'm admiring a beautiful woman, it is only tribal whine that your shallow brain can process from my comment.

Drdreyy:
You are not serious. What is your discipline?

Electricity is supplied to a load, and not the other way around.

We make use of "load" when analyzing electricity consumption.

It is you that is not serious. So what is the contextual meaning of the load simply being referred to in the writeup?

You think contextual meanings must always fall within the limit of its technical meaning?

Can you reject what has already been consumed? Assuming you even put this your last statement before the technical explanation you gave earlier, you would have educated a layman better.

The load being referred to in simple terms is the supplied electricity.

boolet:
What is load?

Drdreyy:
A load in applied electricity is any electrical resistance. Popularly known as electrical appliances by a layman. In short, anything that consumes/makes use of electricity is referred to as a load in applied elect.

Load used in this context is the supplied electricity.

Pretty woman. Despite that, she has this underlying stern look that shows she won't take nonsense.

I don't understand why these experts always resort to basing their decision on what advanced economies are doing?

For God's sake, Nigeria is on another pedestal.. What works in these countries doesn't always work in Nigeria.

Emefiele is scared to his marrows, he doesn't want to try any more skills that may just make things worse off.

He just wants to play cool as you said and hope a miracle happens.

This Ebun is just looking for popularity by all means.
