From right, Umaru Yaradua and Wale Babalakin (grinning from ear to ear)
Fresh court documents obtained by  Saharareporters has found out how Nigeria's most corrupt Attorney General, Michael Aondoakaa participated in the controversial handover of the General Aviation Terminal (GAT) of the Murtala Mohammed Airport in Lagos.

Court judgement
Mr. Aondoakaa, our impeccable source revealed, took huge bribe money from Mr. Wale Babalakin, the chairman of Bi -Courtney, the company now reputed for building sub-standard structures.  Aondoakaa had worked with Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited to grant the company a 36-year concession to run the domestic wing of the Murtala Mohammed Airport after Bi-Courtney presented a carefully manipulated lease agreement that extended its tenure from 12 to 36 years.

During the Obasanjo's administration, Babalakin got Femi Fani Kayode to recommend that his lease on the airport be extended from 12 years to 36 years, but that proposal was rejected, but our sources revealed that Femi Fani Kayode did not reverse the lease agreements, leaving Bi-Courtney to use Aondoakaa to legitimize it.

Aondoakaa, after receiving N400 million from Babalakin, got Bi-Courtney to sue his office for breach of contract after claiming that it had the right to manage both the MMA2 and the GAT for 36 years starting from April 2004.

Curiously, Bi-Courtney did not include the Federal Aviation Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and other agencies involved in airport management as well as affected airlines involved in the lawsuit even though its initial lease agreement was signed between FAAN and Bi-Courtney/ Stabilini Visioni. That strategy was deliberate. FAAN would have contested the lawsuit, but Aondoakaa's refused to diligently defend his office when put on notice about the suit. Aondoakaa sent his aide, a controversial lawyer, Anthony A Malik to pursue the case. But it was so poorly done that Justice Anwukere Chikere reflected his poor performance in the case note on page 22 in her ruling. Noting that the AGF, the sole defendant in the matter, did not contest Bi-Courtney's pleadings and averments.Lack of diligent prosecution was deliberate


Bi-Courtney then obtained a court judgement allowing it to forcefully take over GAT in a secret ceremony that had the airport workers protesting. The worker’s protests temporarily yielded some positive results, as the office of the National Security Adviser intervened and suspended the Bi-Courtney agreement but as soon Yar'adua returned from his sick bed in Saudi Arabia he  reversed the decision of the NSA and ordered that Bi-Courtney take over the local wing of the Murtala mohammed airport in Lagos State.

The judgement also imply that the Lagos state government could operate airports in the state except Bi-Courtney allows it.

[quote author=Ijele-igbo link=topic=338703.msg4747222#msg4747222 date=1255714140]@asha80. You don't know a Bleep about Anambra politics so shut da Bleep up. Only soludo can make things happen. I am an Anambranian and live in Anambra. I perfectly understand the political situation here. I was at the women's development centre at Awka yesterday where Mr. Peter Obi was displaying his stupidity. First of all, he was indirectly insulting soludo saying that Good leadership does not require all the degress in the world but rather attitude and discipline. Secondly he was fooling himself and not ndi Anambra by declaring he wants to build 4000 primary school classrooms with the latest roboform technology. 1000 every year and started to give the president general of each town union of a community 2million naira including a booklet for the plan. A STUPID CAMPAIGN FOR HIS QUEST TO COME BACK FOR A SECOND TERM. Soludo will make a difference! He is the obama of Anambra[/quote]

You have proven that you are a goat. And how do you come to a conclusion that i know nothing about anambra politics?

Nicklee:
Nigerians will never cease to amaze me - a man constructs some roads, that is it and he is t he best man for the office of the Governor!!!!. Thank God I don't even live in Nigeria anymore, this sort of senseless argument would have made me sick by now.

I am not from Anambra, so I have no stakes there - but to tell me that a man, who stooped so low just to get access to power, is being celebrated this way for whatever 'roads' he constructed is appalling. We are always so quick to forget that development is a wholistic exercise. You don't do one at the detriment of others - that shows no blueprint at all.

[quote author=Ijele-igbo link=topic=338703.msg4747003#msg4747003 date=1255711876]At last, soludo finally emerged as the flagbearer of PDP for Governor in Anambra state. Peter obi is a wonderful man anyway. He has implemented a lot of vital projects in Anambra state and i must thank him immensely for that but he has a problem. Enough resources is not getting into Anambra state because obi is an APGA Man while Nigeria is ruled by PDP. Anambra can't survive without the federal government and Anambra is not like Lagos which is independent and strong enough to fetch revenues. So you see, only PDP at the moment can bring smiles unto the faces of Anambranians and Soludo is just the right man for the job. He's tested and trusted! Annie okonkwo another strong contender can't be compared with soludo locally and internationally. For Andy uba, he should just go and sit down and give soludo a chance. We need icons as leaders. Join hands together and lets Vote PROF. Charles Soludo MAKA OGANIRU ANAMBRA KO DIRI ANYI NILE MMA. Ndi Anambra kwennu![/quote]You are a sycophant!

Do you know the number of nigerians that do not have cars?^^^

Ujujoan:
In the eyes of the blind, a one-yed man is a king!!

^^^i laugh in boko haram _{apologies crackles}

^^^^ that one na achievement?Unless you are comparing him with Mbadinuju.

agabaI23:
If you stopped at just 'wonderful ' if you had nothing else to add it would have been better than this your veiled attempt at whiping up tribal sentiments. Why do you have to remember a tribal angle if you are not tribal?

Please, the topic says a 'Nigerian' forget the name. We all lay claim to him, he was born in the US if you don't know. He may probably have spent over 95% of his life in the US.

If that is the case then he is not nigerian.

i seriously doubt that that is the reason.The 'problem' with the igbo society is it is an open society and individuals that make up the society are highly adaptable.

i really do not want to get down this tribalist path but people should not really be confused at the first name.

MrCrackles:
If you dont geddit by now, you will never geddit!

Actually you might be the one that has to get it  .I actually have my suspicion of what he meant by that.

Sagamite:


I completely agree.

I was waiting for udezue.

They will still comment if they want to.Personally i do not think there is anything 'confusing' about the person's name.

deor03:
Wonderful,

One very good thing about this post is that, the "tribalists" are confused and cautious, otherwise, some people would have started to show that the guy is, what he is, because of his lineage.

The name of this guys, has set them up.

What do you mean by this?

All what most nigerians want is the availabilily of basic necessities of life which likely to be found in uk and also other western countries hence the reason why they want to remain there.

WilyWily:
@Abu-MaryamPlease turn your Head and face Mecca, Are you a Female Janjawee?

Na by force to do nysc?^^^

They should even deregulate the country while they are at it.

They should take the money and move on.What was she doing in the north self?

Tosin i have advised these guys to listen to "ginger your swagga" if he wants to listen to "good lyrics"

My friend i have been seeing your post lately.If you have problems with igbos then i am sorry for you because you will always come in contact with them and there is nothing you can do about it.Better come out of your cave mentality before you get hypertension.

KnowAll:
He might well be a good governor, he is 50 times richer than the state, the resources of the state will be spent on the state instead of lining his pocket, so things might be looking good for Kano in the years to come.

Are you a nigerian?

Hollandis there is a reason nuzo made that statement and i actually back him.

My friend what are you rambling?Are you trying to say the yoruba and hausa are more responsble for the hopeless state of the country since they are now the major ethnic groups that are the face of nigeria?

Any person that says the lyrics in "cool temper" is weak simply does not appreciate good music.If you have issues with lyrics in that song then better listen to terry g's "ginger your swagger"

Ask terry G "Ginger Your Swagger"
