Most cars in Nigeria recommend a viscosity starting from 5W... How do they intend to gain market penetration selling this palm oil?

I just don't understand them.

agabusta:
stupid strategic mistake on their part.

Maybe its only danfo and commercial buses they want to capture anyways.

Beeron:
This is dead on arrival unless it's gonna be piss poor cheap. How can they make such a high viscosity oil when the world is currently embracing the 5W30 viscosity type that fits all weather condition. CLICK on my username to view the latest CHEAP Benz on SALE.

Anything to make Ambode look bad

If we dig deep, we may realise this guy's sack has nothing to do with Ambode's wife at all! Nigerian politicians and the 'enemy of my enemy is my friend' syndrome

The man of God was unjustly treated by the Lagos state government. We all saw pictures of his household items brought out of the official quarters immediately he was sacked.

It is not out of place for the state govt led by a new Administration to try and right the wrongs of the past.

The mans sack was directly connected to Ambode's wife, a good number of us dont forget things easily, your attempt at prevarication is shameful.

If Ambode and his wife had any sensitivity to the masses, they should have recalled the man then immediately the news went viral and the masses expressed disgust.

But in his usual manner, he thought as the Executive Governor, he can do as he pleases.

This is a classic demonstration of how short time is and how temporal power resides with humans.

If the AC is on then the windows should be wound up, then how exactly did CO got into the car? Maybe the heat from the oven killed him

AC can either use recirculated air or pick up air from the outside.

If the AC mode is on external air inflow, he'll lose consciousness within an hour, since the car was operating in an enclosed space.

Even if the car AC was on recirculated air, after a while, due to the car being in an oven, the polluted external air will find its way into the car and squeeze out oxygen from his blood.

jakezebrax:
You forgot about Capital oil, when last did you hear about his business or him talking about his business? They frustrated him, used AMCON to take it over and chased him out. Gave him senate seat to keep shut.

Did he borrow money he couldn't pay back? you can't come to a public forum and be talking like an illiterate.

There are many Igbo businessmen doing very okay. Its just a pity that whenever any Igbo businessman has any issue, you'll start your conspiracy theories.

franchasng:
This is what happened.

Onyema didn't steal America's money. He only used a false document to move money into US.

The question should be, where did the money he moved came from

Mind you, Onyema was among the real estate moguls that sold most lands in Banana Island, he sold over a hectare or more.

So $20million is a small money.

All he needs to do is get good attorneys, and provide clean evidence how the money came about and why he used fake documents of a non existent Aviation company in the US to receive money.

This is not BEC fraud.

His case is different

If he has nothing to hide, why go through a fraudulent means to get 20million dollars out of Nigeria??

Going to the extent of using fake documents to get the money out makes the money highly suspicious.

I trust the EFCC to do the needful and trace the actual source of those funds.

nextstep:
Wetin happen? I don't see the fraud... can somebody please explain because he is being accused of buying airplanes for the airline... which we're seeing.

The comment below explains the latter part of the fraud. He used phony documents to transfer 20million dollars out of Nigeria.

Note that you can only transfer clean money, so he used his company in the US to make the transaction look legitimate.

The indictment stated that immediately the money landed in the US, he disbursed 16million dollars of it for various entities not related to plane purchase.

linearity:
Not true.

No loan was involved, reread it again.

And the documents are only fake because the purchase of planes never occurred. Had it been the Atlanta based company ship them planes or are into the business of selling planes, these would have all been legit.

Put simply, they wanted to move his personal (no clue where he got the money, could have been legit or otherwise, but that is beside the point and the indictment is not alleging that he got it illegally) money from Nigeria to Country C, but for some reasons he is unable to do it. Maybe Country C have blacklisted transfers from Nigeria due to fraud.

So, they hatched a plan to move the money from Nigeria to the USA and from US to country C....but there is a problem, you can’t just transfer that kind of money into the US without a project tied to it, you have to categorically state the purpose and it has to be legit, otherwise it is money laundering.

Now, they have to come with a fiticious project/purpose for the transfer....luckily he owns various companies in Nigeria and a Company in Atlanta US, which is just a front. The Atlanta company raised invoices for the purchase of Airplanes, but they don’t sell Airplanes, and send the invoice to his Nigeria company.... the Nigeria company approached their bank for a Letter of Credit linked to monies already in their account and they send the letter of credit to the US company, which in turn prepare fake purchase documents, shipping documents etc and send it to them then they approach the Nigeria company to release the funds in their account to the account of the company in Atlanta US.

When the money lands the account in US, it is now a ‘clean’ money to be sent to country C.

Incandescent:
This is bad. Real bad.. Michael Jackson

I pray he gets out of this mess quickly. This doesn't look good

Doesn't look good at all!

Being indicted for fraud by the US govt has the implication of shutting you out of the international finance ring.

I wont be surprised if some of those funds in his NGO actually came from politicians.

Naija politicians are now using NGOs to launder money with impunity.

UdechiHD:
This is not fraud. The money is Nigerian owned. The problem is that he used false documents to purchase the planes.

So what is fraud if using false documents to launder money isn't?

Bola146:
Na lie, it's the fear of EFCC

Fear of EFCC how?

Does he have a pending case?

I really dont understand Naija politicians. Must you decamp to the ruling party?? Cant you just stay in your party and build it up??

And even if you have irreconcilable differences with your party, cant you defect to a growing party and then help build it up??

It is clear that these politicians are just looking after their immediate personal gains.

IITTA50:
What is your stand? So that i can taunt you come november. mr david lyon

So who is to be taunted now?? Dont argue ignorantly with someone familiar with the local politics of a place.

Better

How did the Nigerian goods go out?

Johnnyessence:
fake news.

Johnny Johnny, still telling lies??

Oyo Governorship: Appeal Court rules in favour of APC but leaves Makinde in office


A Court of Appeal in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, on Monday, upheld the appeal filed by the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adebayo Adelabu, against Governor Seyi Makinde of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The court, consequently, set aside the tribunal judgement that nullified the petition brought by Mr Adelabu against Mr Makinde.

PREMIUM TIMES reported how the election petition tribunal in September dismissed the petition.

Reversal
However, the appeal court on Monday said the judgement of the tribunal was ‘perverse’ and therefore set it aside.

The court, however, did not make any further order concerning the election.

The court added that status quo at the time of filing the petition by Mr Adelabu remains, meaning Mr Makinde remains the winner of the election as declared by INEC.

The court, in its lead judgement, ruled that the appellants, the APC and Mr Adelabu, were not giving fair hearing by the tribunal.

The Electoral Act only gives a grace of 180 days for a case to be heard at the election tribunal.

The appeal court ruled that the tribunal had exhausted its time; therefore, the case could not be sent back to it for review.

The court ordered that the status quo before the tribunal’s judgment should remain. This means the declaration of Mr Makinde as the winner of the March 9, 2019 governorship poll in Oyo State remains.

The court held that if not for time, it would have ordered a re-trial at the tribunal, noting that “unfortunately, the time limit of 180 days for the tribunal had been exhausted.”

Three out of the four judges resolved all issues in favour of the appellants.

There was a dissenting judgment from a judge with a proviso that the panel could not nullify Mr Makinde’s election.

Reactions
Counsel to Mr Makinde, Eyitayo Jegede, in his reaction, said the judgement did not mean Mr Makinde is no longer the governor.

FIRS AD

“He has not been affected in any way. The Court of Appeal in their wisdom said they did not agree with the lower tribunal. They did not also say that they did not agree with INEC. So, INEC’s declaration is sacrosanct and it remains until any other pronouncement from the court.

“We have not seen the details of the judgment. We were all in court and you (journalists) saw that the details were not read to us. As far as we are concerned, there is no cause for alarm. There is no implication on the return and declaration of Seyi Makinde as the governor of Oyo State,” he said.

The counsel to Mr Adelabu and the APC, Adeboye Shobanjo, also reacted to the judgement.

“You listened to what my lord said about the evaluation of judgment of evidence that when there are (is) evidence before the court, the evidence of all parties before the court should be evaluated.

“Judgment should not be based only on the evidence of a party in a case and if that was done during the trial, or during the judgment, that is contrary to the provision of the constitution on fair hearing.

“Second(ly), this court settled the issue of dumping of documents on election cases, and contrary to the decision of the tribunal that all the documents tendered by the appellants were dumped on the tribunal, the judgment made it known that the documents were not dumped on the tribunal.

“In totality, the appeal was allowed. But my lord said that because of effusion of time, that since the time for trial has lapsed at the tribunal, they cannot order for retrial of the case.

“But generally or totally, the appeal was allowed. It showed that the judgment of the tribunal occasioned miscarriage of justice against the appellants. The next step depends on my clients. They will brief us accordingly and it depends on instructions,” he said.

kelvinginzie:
Fake news

Not fake

Interesting! But the Supreme court will likely overturn the Appeal court ruling. The supreme court in recent times has clearly shown us they don't have the appetite for a rerun of gubernatorial elections.

Mandesz:
Nigeria has been 'northernalised' since 1966. The north own the military, the police and other forces. If the north decided to secede today, they will do without stress or war. Assuming they own the oil like the south- south, secession would av happened a.long time ago.

The south- west never wise up, What happened to mko abiola.can't happened to a northerner.

Was Abacha from the SS?

The friendship of the Archbishop and Buhari is quite intriguing.

They must always have a rendevous whenever Buhari is in the UK.

udemzyudex:
Same,I noticed it,I thought the light has spoilt but unfortunately they brought it around 2 am.

Unfortunately?

Cool. Congrats madam.

stanisbaratheon:
A country where appeal court sacks and supreme court overturn. Just wait and see how he will be pronounced eminently qualified without equivocation. Shame of a country.

Shame of an uninformed citizen.

House of Rep Election petition case does not get to the supreme court.

Smh

letusbepieces:
A judgement delivered without reason.

Dont be funny.

The damage Buhari have done to Nigeria might take another 100 years to fix.

Our judiciary was weak, now it is nonexistent.

Oga, go and get yourself informed about supreme court decisions on political cases. This is in no way the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or even 10th case they will first give judgement and then give another date where they will release the written report of the basis of the judgement.

Most times they usually give a date like say 1 or 2 months before releasing the reasons for their judgement.

I saw someone fall into a man hole in Lagos yesterday while pushing a faulty car.

I felt so sorry for him.

sirjoe1124:
I thought today's first hearing

Supreme court no get time for comical cases like this. They throw it away immediately.

There are loads of other important cases craving their attention.

jadeliyi:
if you really care to know it not that they are being scared, but the government it self devise means to cheat, in this IPPIS when you are 60 years of age the system automatically remove, and a proffesor who are entil to lecture up to 70 years. not that alone the system is not programme to activate and pay outstanding fee of promotion and allowance. there are other thing they are 'SCARED' of sha.

The IPPIS is not a fixed and rigid system. It can be fine tuned to accommodate the flexibility ASUU desires.

Why should someone who is supposed to retire by 70years be yanked off at 65 years? It does not make sense.

Then why are you running away from the IPPS?
