PoliticsProphet Mazi Nnamdi Kalu? His Major Achievement For Umu Igbo. Thank him by Bigkoko(op):
Judgement debt: . Chinese investors take over Nigeria’s guest houses in Liverpool, to sell on eBay for $2.2 million. Zhongshang Fucheng has intensified steps to seize Nigeria’s assets in Europe and North America to collect up to $70 million from a 2021 arbitration verdict. Zhongshang Fucheng Industrial Investment Ltd took possession of two buildings linked to the Nigerian government in Liverpool, United Kingdom, in June 2024, years after Nigeria failed to settle an arbitration judgement handed down in 2021, The Gazette learnt.

The properties, 15, Aigburth Hall Road, Liverpool and Beech Lodge, 49, Calderstones Road, Liverpool, were targeted after a December 2021 British court order gave Zhongshang executives the power to seize Nigerian assets in the UK to retrieve the $70 million payment, which remained outstanding as of August 20, 2024, with two per cent monthly interest accruals.

Zhongshang was awarded $55,675,000 plus interest of $9,400,000 and costs of £2,864,445 as of the date of the arbitration verdict on March 26, 2021, court documents said. The case stemmed from a dispute between Zhongshang and Ogun State. The firm said the state violated a 2001 trade treaty between Nigeria and China when its rights to a free trade zone were rescinded in 2016.

As the rush to strip Nigeria off its assets abroad by people & companies she owe gain momentum, most especially the Chinese. I know their eyes are actually on Nigerian Oil & Gas infrastructures, just like Bayo Onanuga recently screamed. Yes, so what? Where they the one that told you to depend on amala politics, and hopelessly wish the Chinese would understand? Even a kindergaten can solve what seems to be difficult for Asiwaju and his band of wereys!

This is what i expect the Nigerian govt led by a mandate tief to do, or direct his appointees to do!
"Ohhh yes, we understand you and Ogun has a business transaction that went south. No big deal. We understand you have secured a Court judgement to go after the assets of Ogun. no big deal. We also understand that Ogun State is a sub sovereign under our Sovereign state of Nigeria, right? We put it to you that You will get your money back throught this foolproof way we are in control off. Ogun State receives XZY billion Naira on monthly basis, which is equivalent to ZXY million dollars. we will facilitate a process wheence ABC amount of dollars will be paid to you on monthly basis untill the full payment is done. On this note, we provide full Diplomatic interference on this case and wish it settled out of court."
But hell no. His only concern was the fairly used private jet he recently bought...na that one be he main concern!

The Judge will begin to think he is dealing with humans not monkeys, like he's forced to believe when Fagbemi erroneously claim private jets has diplomatic immunity! he was like WTf!!! Una mumu dey shame me abeg!

Well, for naysayer....this property is up for sale....but the money wont be going to Nigerian govt coffers. The Chinese are laying claims to it vai its acquired debt judgements. I heard, that several properties stashed away in UK is already being profiled and buyers actively sought for. I wish them good luck. People wey say na mumu them want, go learn why many people avoid mumu life & govt. in all these, lets not forget that Ibikunle Amosun got Nigeria, Nigerians into all these, not Asiwaju. But Asiwaju and his hordes of incompetent follow fellows, are compounding an already dire situation by their pettiness, lack of clear startegy and preference for ethnic politics. Let's also not forget that same, Ibikunle Amosun and his Ogun State also ripped off local investors like our learned Dr. Pat Utomi, and possibly others who wish tyo nurse their wounds in silence!

Abeg back to prophet MNK & his agitations for umu children of Gad!
Mazi Nnamdi Kalu, a smart ass YouKay trained ramble buster had his good as well as not so good side. We can always forgive his other sides which includes using not so democratic words when dishing out nkwobi and ugba to those who never wish Umu-igbo well. His greatest achievement so far lies on on two largely related solutions his agitation brought.

1. Environmental sanity to Alaigbo. Now imagine for once that the Europeans were given access to explore gas and their usual lackadisaic altitude to exploration in Africa. Couple with python dance. omoo, they for force millions of villagers comot from our villages! Now, Much of Igbo land lies on huge gas fields. Geologists dont need the vast sophiscation of seismic reflectors to find gas in Alaigbo. Local water bore hole engineers striking & erupting gas in areas around local villages in Enugu is a pointer to this. They dont have to drill deep before striking a gas reserve, at merely 10-15 meters deep, they hit gas! What a goodluck for the people. Gas means money in Petrodollar. But it also comes with unintended consequences, especially in this part of the world where irresponsible leaders steal elections! imagine for once, clueless Buhari wasnt blinded by his nepostic slur against the Igbos throughout his 8 year disastrous reign, and that the money wasted looking for what is not there in the North was diverted to look East ward? By now, Nigeria would be swimming in gas, and many countries and companies taking loans to fund explorations and extractions. Then, Nigeria might yet live for more 10-20 years! And the pollutions would have been double, purposeful, so people can leave the villages! Let's thank Buhari again. Not all storm comes to kill you, some actually came to clear your your path, and preserve you well for the future! My spirtual guide often tell me. Nagode Sai baba buhari! To this lets extend appreciation to the young man in Asiwaju dungeon. Dalu MNK, you are the reason why FG is scared to think of gas exploration in SE.

2. Reduction of the menance of killer herdsmen in Igboland. While i understand that global warming stands as the root cause for the forced mnigration by the sahelians, down south who saw the loopholes in Nigeria as manna from heaven, we must not fail to to accept that fact that an irresponsible, blood letting is not something you tolerate from an outsider! Fulani or not! here again, MNK and his IPOb should be at least appreciated that Igbo land is not used as a launching pad into SS towns and villages, and that camps were not established like they are in Middle belt and parts of SW. The fear of IPOb is real for these killer herdsmen. they met their march in the bravery shown by yuths who went after them in bushes whence the cover by their kinsmen in the military is ot provided for! grin grin. Thank you prophet MNk....last year Xmas was a blast and peaceful too! while killer herdsmens were slashing throats and unleashing terror in other parts of Nigeria, they can only sneak in an attack and flee! grin grin grin

Natural gas in Igbo land, located in southeastern Nigeria, is a significant energy resource with both economic and environmental implications. This region is part of the broader Niger Delta, which is one of the richest areas in terms of oil and gas reserves in Africa. Key States Involved:
Igbo land includes states such as Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo. Of these, Imo and Abia are particularly significant in terms of natural gas reserves. These states sit within the Niger Delta basin, where substantial gas reserves have been discovered and developed. Here’s an overview of natural gas in Igbo land:

Major Gas Fields:

1. Imo State: The state is home to significant natural gas fields, such as the Ohaji South and the Assa North-Ohaji South (ANOH) gas fields. The ANOH field is one of Nigeria’s largest onshore gas fields and plays a crucial role in the country's gas production.

2. Abia State: Abia also contributes to Nigeria's gas production, with fields that are integral to the country’s energy strategy.
Old, explored and proven Oil & Gas fields.

Upcoming, unexplored Oil & gas fields.
1. Enugu and its environs.
If you get money, go and buy land near abandoned coal mines in Enugu. this is a financial advise. Those land will be bought back due to explorations which will begin within the next 10-15 years as nations move more towards gas!

Enugu...a hilly, picturesque city, coined by the Brit for its hilly beautiful terrains...'Enu-Ugwu" loosely intepreted as "Hill top", On top Moutain", is lanced with carbonified fossiled fuels such as Coal, Coal gas and Natural gas!

Now, any where you find explorable coals, Natural gas is never far off!

Una weldon ohhhh!

PoliticsRe: How To Cripple A Developing Economy Like Nigeria - David Hundeyin by Bigkoko: 10:23am On Aug 21, 2024
That is why we wish them well in a nation of their dreams. this certainly is their dream...where all the above happens!

[quote author=DesChyko post=131616880]If I were given the task by a foreign power to cripple a developing economy like Nigeria and reduce its 200 million people to a state of desolate, mindless nihilism, here's how I'd go about it.

1. Raise taxes indiscriminately and across board. Do so with zero consultation and make the announcement as abrupt as possible so as to magnify the shock value.

2. Institute multiple taxation and create entire new arms and functions of government centred around collecting new taxes and levies. Make this process as rapid and opaque as possible, and once again, ensure there is zero public consultation and maximum shock value.

3. Remove any subsidies on production (such as those on petrol and diesel, which power 87% of all production in Nigeria) and ensure that any consumer prices set by government (such as electricity tariffs) skyrocket. This ensures that producers not only raise prices but also pass the entire cost burden on to consumers instead of pushing back on the inflationary policies. Crippling consumer inflation ensues, followed by a debilitating cost of living crisis, the likes of which the country has never seen.

4. Make energy production and supply even more convoluted and mind-bending than they already are. Add new layers of corruption between producers and the energy they need. Insert my nephew's oil company into the nerve centre of national energy infrastructure and start a war against the country's only functioning refinery, which threatens to simply access to energy. Create a weird new national energy policy that avoids all the cheaply available energy reserves in Nigeria, and starts pushing weird stuff like "renewables" and CNG on an impoverished population whose cooking fuel is mostly still either kerosene or firewood.

5. Hire a central bank governor whose career at a certain international bank intersects very curiously with mine at a time when I was involved in illegal activity and laundering the proceeds through that bank. Naturally, he is 100% pliant and will do WHATEVER I want him to do without hesitation or pushback. And then...

6. Print money. Print it at a prodigious rate. Expand the money supply at a rate more than 3x that of what my predecessor did during the COVID years. Do all of this with zero parliamentary oversight, and spend money without any sort of appropriation or documentation. Literally print money out of thin air, purchase hard assets with it and watch the worthless fiat money disappear into the dark void of a 65% informal economy. Combined with devastating consumer inflation, an unprecedented cost of living crisis, crippling energy shortages caused by my new layers of corruption and weird energy policies, the national currency's value drops through the floor, falling 200% against the dollar in the 15 months I have had power.

7. Instead of working to build new regional export markets for my country's producers (which continue to function against all the odds), start throwing trade sanctions around ECOWAS and try to start a West African regional war on my country's northern border because France and America want me to. Where my predecessor attracted criticism for creating such close ties to our northern neighbour that he pushed for an economically unviable standard gauge rail line between both countries, I instead try to start a war with that neighbour and commit several violations of international law in the process - including possible war crimes. West Africa as a whole begins to pivot away from my country and my country's producers are left with zero export market and an impoverished local market that can't afford to buy anything.

8. PILE. ON. MORE. DEBT.
Take on loans from EVERYWHERE AND EVERYONE. IMF, World Bank, African Development Bank, Zenith Bank, LAPO Microfinance Bank, pension funds, retail investors, osusu thrift credit society, EVERYTHING. If anyone questions it, throw bullshit statistics like "Low debt-to-GDP ratio" at them.

9. During all this carnage, consume CONSPICUOUSLY. The old presidential S Class Maybach is no longer good enough. Get new armoured Cadillac Escalades for me and my vice. The old presidential jet fleet - already the largest in Africa - is no longer good enough. Buy a new customised Airbus A-300. Propose buying a presidential yacht. Expand your presidential convoy to about 5 minutes long, and make sure to inconvenience people with it EVERY SINGLE. DAY.

10. Spend billions on keeping the media quiet and funding ethnic polarisation on social media so that everybody's attention is kept focused on everything and everyone except me.

Congratulations 🎊

I have destroyed a potential global power on behalf of the US Department of State 🎊 👏 💐 🥳 🎊

More Money, More Problems: Inside The Bitter Family Feuds Of America’s Richest Billionaire

David and his brother Charles bought out the stakes in Koch Industries owned by Bill and their eldest brother Frederick (d. 2020) in 1983. Bill and Frederick thought they were shortchanged and spent nearly two decades suing for more before finally settling in 2001.

When one member of a billionaire family died in September, his will specified precisely how to spread his fortune among the members of his family, including his children, his stepchildren and his siblings—except, the will commands, for his sister Susan. It was the latest development in a long-running fight among members of the Gore family, one of the wealthiest in America, that stretches back decades.


They’re far from the only fractured ultra-wealthy brood. Among the 50 clans on Forbes’ latest list of America’s Richest Families, at least six have gone through very bitter—and very public—family feuds, including legal battles over trust funds, sham adoptions and even murder accusations.

Here are the six billionaire American families whose fierce infighting shows that money—even billions of dollars—doesn’t always buy happiness:

Gore Family: A Fight Over The Share Of The Gore-Tex Inheritance
Net worth: $8.2 billion
Bill Gore (d. 1986) and his wife Genevieve (d. 2005)—founders of W.L. Gore, the company behind waterproof fabric Gore-Tex—created a powder keg when they set up a system of trusts for their grandkids that awarded larger shares of their estates to larger branches of the family. Three of their four children produced four grandkids each; one child, their daughter Susan, only had three kids. That meant her children would inherit far fewer shares from the trusts than their cousins. So in 2003 Susan took matters into her own hands, legally adopting her 65 year old ex-husband as her “child” to increase her branch of the family’s inheritance. The move—which infuriated the rest of the Gore family—didn’t work. The ex-husband reneged on his promise to give his shares to their children, and in 2012 the Delaware Supreme Court ruled that neither the ex-husband nor Susan’s children were entitled to the shares. The family never seemed to get over it. When Bob Gore, Susan’s brother, died this September, his will made his feelings crystal clear: The document states if none of his children or their issue were living at the time of his death, his estate should be divided among his siblings—“not including Susan.”

Koch Family: Two Siblings’ Sellers Remorse Over Conglomerate Koch Industries
Net worth: $100 billion
Before they became vilified for their support of the Tea Party and their conservative political influence, the Koch family fought amongst themselves. In 1980, William (Bill) Koch tried to wrest control of family-owned Koch Industries and was immediately fired. Three years later, he and his brother Frederick sold their shares in the family conglomerate, founded by their father Fred Koch (d. 1967), back to their brothers Charles and David for more than $700 million. Then Bill and Frederick decided they were shortchanged and spent the next 18 years suing for more before finally settling in 2001. Since then, the diversified company has grown to $115 billion in revenues from businesses including pipelines, chemicals, Dixie cups and Stainmaster carpet. Charles, who is worth $44.9 billion, and David, who died in August 2019 at age 79, have appeared on Forbes’ ranks of the richest Americans. David’s wife Julia and their three children inherited David’s 42% stake in Koch Industries. Forbes pegs Bill’s net worth at $1.5 billion. Frederick, an art-lover who never became a billionaire, stayed under the radar and died in February 2020.

Pritzker Family: An 18-Year-Old’s Lawsuit Over A Trust Fund
Net worth: $32.5 billion
Hyatt Hotel heiress Liesel Pritzker was only 18 years old when she filed a $6 billion lawsuit against her father and 11 older cousins, alleging that they looted her and her brother Matthew’s trust funds. Her father, Robert Pritzker, who was divorced from her mother Irene, had begun to tinker with his children's trusts and donated their share in the family holding company to the family foundation. Years later when her cousins planned to divvy up the fortune, they left Liesel and her brother out. "This is not about cash," the heiress told Forbes in 2003. "It's not like I think if we win, it'll be: 'Buy the Bentley! Bling bling!.’" She added: "I filed because I wanted to know what happened. It's going to be tricky, and it will take a long time.” Once the battle was over, Liesel walked away with $500 million. The settlement of her suit led to splitting up the family fortune and creating nearly a dozen billionaire Pritzkers, including Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker, who is the nation’s richest politician, worth $3.4 billion.

Goldman Family: No Mom, We Want Your Share Of The Real Estate Empire
Net worth: $13.2 billion
When he died in 1987, Sol Goldman was the richest landlord in New York City, with properties that had once included the historic Chrysler Building. Shortly after his death, Sol’s four kids and his estranged wife Lilian began battling over the inheritance. Sol and Lilian had filed for divorce in 1983, but they attempted to reconcile; in 1984 they signed a formal agreement granting Lillian 33% of his estate. That was later challenged by her children, but after 5 years of lawsuits, the agreement stuck. When Lillian died in 2002, her estate was divided nearly equally among her children, according to court documents. “Since that time, the family has resolved all outstanding disputes and all members are very close with one another,” a statement provided to Forbes in 2016 said.

Rollins Family: A Greek Tragedy—And A Nearly Decade-Long Lawsuit
Net worth: $13.1 billion
For decades, the Rollins family was known for two things: its Orkin pest control business, which helped them make a fortune, and throwing lavish parties in Georgia. Founded by two siblings, Wayne and John, in 1948, Rollins Inc. pulled in $2 billion in sales in 2019 and is the biggest pest control company by revenues in North America. Yet the extravagant parties are no more. Wayne's sons, Randall (d. August 2020) and Gary, joined the family business and later became chair and president, respectively. In 2010, Gary's four children sued their father and uncle, claiming they were being denied their rightful cash allocations. Around the same time, Gary’s wife Ruthie filed for divorce from Gary after 45 years of marriage. "It's like a Greek tragedy," one of the family members told Forbes in 2014. After nine years of legal battles and two weeks into a jury trial, the family reached a confidential settlement in 2019. One account describes the four adult children who sued walking across the courtroom in tears to hug their father and their uncle.

Shoen Family: The Clan’s Fight For Control Of U-Haul
Net worth: $9 billion
Three decades after husband and wife duo L.S. Shoen and Anna Mary Shoen cofounded the truck and trailer rental company U-Haul, L.S. and his eldest son, Samuel, expanded the company into new and arguably unrelated businesses: rentals of video tapes, dance floors and jet skis. Two other children, Joe and Mark, thought he was wrecking the company. Joe staged a coup in 1986, took control of the company and forced his dad into retirement—alienating most of his 12 siblings and half-siblings (L.S. remarried after his first wife died). The family was mired in lawsuits for 25 years. At one point, L.S. even accused his estranged sons of taking part in the murder of Samuel's wife in 1990, before a paroled rapist confessed. L.S., who told Forbes in 1994 that Joe was mentally ill, died by suicide in 1999. The last of the litigation concluded in 2012. Both Joe and his brother Mark each own roughly one-fifth of U-Haul parent Amerco, where Joe is president and chairman.

Culled from Forbes.

Buccalcavity2:
Read. Don't be looking for who will educate you on SM.
Just like Trump & Brexiters campaigned with take back job, Alex and Shagari included such in campaign rhetoric (dumb though) because Nigeria was experiencing financial issues.
Btw, even Ghanaians didn't make much noise because they did the same, twice, to Nigeria before then.... plus their own president locked them out because of coup scare.
Regardless it was a national policy and if you want to attribute it to a tribe, then Hausas and Igbos get the blame as they campaigned and led the country.
Also, I am for retaliatory sanction against any aggressive nation against Nigerians/Nigeria (even if their object of xenophobic attacks are mostly Igbos for alleged drug peddling)
Nigerians have no business to covet anything from any nation. That's inferiority complex. We always have our comparative advantage just like other nations do.

Ohhh...you think they don't know what I wrote is true? If you're born in 60s - 80s and you don't know of the Ghanaians in education, shoe mending and hair care sectors, then your birth place ought to be questioned

These two authors are well known.
Ababio = Chemistry.
PN Okeke = Physics.

I'm still thinking of our Oluwole Profs the ones they wrote....not the plagiarized jargons copy paste thing though!

And, from a people who lost an estimated 3 million men, women and children!

Na waohh for these coconut head Master Race in Africa! The Black Aryans!


ariesbull:
While Igbo wrote the famous physics text book P.N Okeke

I can't remember what the Yoruba wrote in maths


So I can relate with the story .....my teacher was a Ghana man he taught me English . Mr. Kwesi

The thing is that do many of you don't understand the concept of living as compatriots in the same country...

If for instance, you lots didn't drag the Igbos back, and still using all sorts of gimmick to prolong the eventual collapse of Nigeria (G-d forbid), you lots could design laws and rules that even ban foreigners, Igbos inclusive from coming to umu Oduduwa republic with less than $20,000. Yea...

But you can't claim to Nigerians and while enjoying the gas from Abia and Imo States, via power grind and shouting Igbo must go! It's a sign of follow come madness!

Check out all the Must go you guys championed, it led to eventual collapse of something!

Ghana must go = eventual collapse of th education sector.

Jonathan must go = collapse of Nigeria FX and economy.

Igbo must go = Sanwo Olu quickly deport some of the miscreants back to Oshogbo. I guess that's where some of you lots are posting from.

Even the drunkard south Africans know quite well, that a White must go campaign will make SA look like Zimbabwe!

I wish all of una good luck Sha. Since we the moderate democrats no get levels, maybe na the hardliners go get levels ni!


MIKOLOWISKA:
but it's only Igbos complaining
Igbos run to Yoruba towns as their land is barren
It's Igbos that dint sell land to outsiders
It's Igbos that s send their chudrens to Yoruba land for education

You are pained and delusional

Because non was actually created! The builder of Lagos has suddenly ran out of building materials!


OkCornel:
Still no answer on the number of jobs this government has created out of the 50 million it promised on August 29 2023?

Why do you passionately defend a government that can’t keep its promises?

More like monkeys who took over a car and can't figure out how to ride it...damn!


kettykin:
You missed on the telecommunications sector which has been on ICU and might not last. Exactly what you described happened to the education industry is happening to the telecommunications industry. The same people harassed foreigners out stole the industry blind and could not run the companies, now telecommunications companies are at there verge of imminent collapse.

The eatery industry is in decline, insurance is almost gone.

Do you dey claim Afenmai? Hahaha 🤣 🤣 🤣. Go find your Papa ohhh. Afenmai people no dey support bad thing, and if they mistakenly do, they quickly learned and kick against it.

Go ask Aisha Yusuf!

You that don't know your history some how have a knack in telling other people's history.

The accounts of the European , Basden remains the only authentic historical account of your heritage and customs.

Every other attempt at alleviating yourselves above your betters is dead on arrival.

You no be anybody mate for Nigeria .

Because treachery is unpardonable in military...

He could have honorably declined his Command, but he accepted and stop short at the point of victory. Giving Awol, his kinsman and Gowon aple time to rally the Brits to Airlift of military adviser's and weapons! And still had the effrontery to come back! What the fvck was he thinking? He would be welcomed with flowers?

Na that treacherous DNA still dey cause wahala till date!

And Ojukwu had him executed like so many other countless Ibo biafran officers.

That's where the foolishness of bigots like you come up!

If HE Peter Obi, a refined, prudent gentleman of international repute talks about ills from other places and gents from Oduduwa talks about ills from SE, don't you think Nigeria will be better off?

But hell no! You must defend failure back to back! Continue please. Even ordinary abokis don Sabi una finish!


TopBanter:
For sure. Revulsion for them today is sky high. Most Nigerians are now aware of their duplicitous, divisive and deceitful character.

Like the clown Obi who will speak about a pin dropping in the SW, North etal with immediate alacrity but graveyard silent over dailly atrocities everywhere across the SE.
