Politics / N255m Car Scandal: Ministry Denies Granting Waiver by ballabriggs: 9:32pm On Oct 31, 2013 |
N255m Car Scandal: Ministry Denies Granting Waiver Source |

KenGali: You have written trash. One of the taxes paid on imports is VAT which is based on the value of the good imported. If I get a waiver to import a specified good of N10 million and I end up importing an entirely different good and still seek to apply the waiver, that is evasion and an attempt to cheat the tax man. |

These people got a loan from FBN for these cars but then lied in their statements that it was a finance lease. As you can see, we are dealing with hardened criminals. You will need Sergeant Rogers to torture these people to make them say the truth. 3 Likes |

gurnam: I honestly think Nigeria must amend its tax laws to stop such abuses. If you get a waiver to import for a specific purpose, then that asset must be used for a certain number of years or scrapped by you for the waiver to apply. Where you go ahead to sell same asset within a short period of time and make a gain on it, then the appropriate import duty as well as the capital gains tax must be paid on that asset. What we see in this whole import regime is a sham. People cheating the system. |

gurnam: Look to import and get a waiver for a particular purpose and then use it for another is criminal. For example, if I import a cloth as a gift for my mother and then go ahead to sell same cloth, that is criminal on its own. |

gurnam: A criminal man. For example, I may opt to receive more shares from a company in place of dividends so as to avoid personal income tax. That is clearly me using the tax regime to my advantage which is avoidance. But where I underdeclare what I have received, it is clearly evasion. Maduka got waivers to import ordinary cars. He then applied same waivers to specialised vehicles which are 10 times above the price of the cars which the waivers apply to. That is criminal and a theft from the treasury. 1 Like |

aguiyi: Close your mouth. What is avoidance? It is using a tax regime to ones benefit. How does underdeclaring your import fall into avoidance? He has clearly hidden the details of his transaction from the tax man and this makes him a tax thief and cheat. 4 Likes |

Another funny one is from the criminal Maduka. Trying to play on our intelligence with "morality". The same dubious strategy he used when he had his issues with Ify Uba. A tax thief and a cheat. |

A rogue and criminal. Even if na petty cash I dey manage, you approved a transaction above statutory limits and you expect any reasonable person to take such nonsense. Like I earlier said, we overestimate these people's intelligence. What she has done there whilst trying to deny is to indict herself. |

An arm robber is an arm robber. Never mind that she sits in FEC with President Jonadunce. "Approved do the needful". So the rogue approved an expenditure above a statutory limit and she claims innocence? If I approve a fraudulent transaction without due diligence, am I not guilty as well? This woman is a rogue and one can see from the multiple statements being released. It is the characteristic of a hardened criminal. Her spokesman issued a statement, after how many weeks, she comes out to say it was inaccurate. Did he not seek her approval before releasing the statement? |

Can you all see that we seem to overestimate the level of intelligence of these people. Read Cosmas Maduka's statement and tell me that man is not mentally challenged. He got a waiver for a particular event but then diverted the car for use elsewhere. To top it up, he does not seem to understand that he has confessed his being a criminal. I tell you what, showing these people any form of respect is absolute stupidity. These people have no respect for our country and should be cursed for what they have turned this country to. 29 Likes |

This woman is a hardened criminal and I pity any Nigerian who shows people like this any form of respect. As one can see, she went about her looting spree in a very crude and arrogant manner, "I don't give a damn", just like her grand criminal of the federal republic. So why should we show such rogues any respect? These people should be cursed and not respected. They are criminals who show our country no respect. 1 Like |

Politics / South-East, South-South Professionals Tell Oduah To Quit by ballabriggs: 8:07am On Oct 30, 2013 |
• Quit, S’East, S’South professionals tell minister Earlier on Monday, the South-East and South-South Professionals Forum had called on Oduah to step aside in the face of mounting protests over her role in the purchase of the bulletproof cars. It expressed disappointment over the scandal rocking the Aviation industry which is under Oduah’s watch. The forum’s President , Emeka Ugwu-Oju, spoke at a stakeholders’ meeting organised to marshal their position on the national dialogue in Benin, Edo State. Ugwu-Oju said, “We are not saying she is guilty but for what has happened in the ministry under her watch, it is clear the ministry could afford such money for some frivolous purposes. It is a wrong thing to do and somebody has to take responsibility. “We are of the view that the current minister of aviation should go. She is going not because she is found culpable but we are looking at the overall picture of values. “The honourable thing for her to do is to step aside and go.” http://www.punchng.com/news/n255m-car-scandal-finally-jonathan-moves-against-stella-oduah/ 4 Likes |

Another shallow news report probably from another agbataeke journalist. The shallow reporter tactically left the most important part which is the ease of doing business rank. Nigeria ranks a pathetic 147 below countries like Yemen and Uganda. No disrespect to these countries, all disrespect to the rogues who seek to spread propaganda without tackling the main issues facing businesses and entrepreneurs in Nigeria. 2 Likes |

Another line of defence from the hardened criminals. If I make a budget to purchase and I go on with a finance lease to acquire the same asset, what I have done is to violate that budget as finance lease is like taking a loan. It must be stated explicitly in a budget and in subsequent years lease payments must be included, in the budget till all your liabilities are fulfilled. What the hardened criminals have done here is even to put them in more soup. They are rogues and you will need to torture them before they say the truth. 1 Like |
