Because despite the bribery allegations, which both companies have agreed to, Asiwaju has recently reissued the OML license.

The investigations would determine if bribes had passed hands, which I'm sure might have! Which the Americans genuinely & curiously wants to know!

Sprinklepee:
This thing na jonathan sign am then, why una dey shout tinubu name?

I quite agree with you. I have a couple of friends who live there. They ain't any part of the leave our Lagos geng! Moreover, it appears even Lagos Gov is now sitting up on its responsibility of making Lagos habitable and free from scourge of miscreants from other SW states?

SmartPolician:


Eti-Osa is home to the most educated, richest and exposed Nigerians. Online bigotry won't change anything here. Nigerians who live here genuinely want to see positive change and if Thaddeus doesn't represent that positive change, he will be kicked out.

Baba emiloka is failure personified!

Franklyspeakin:
Emilokan, emilokan,
Baba wey no well
e dey shout emilokan!!!!

hand dey shake
leg dey shake,
Baba wey no well
E dey shout Emilokan.

the wonderment of the EMILOKAN ERA.
The people we are traveling to convince to invest in us are showing us the corruption within.

The Americans don't take it lightly those who violates their laws, be you who! If they can haul an ex POTUS, with knowledge about the working of the Govt including nuke secrets, then who the heck might you been! The investigation off course would uncover how much bribe money was dished out for the new license!

With Asiwaju, the embarrassment never stops?

US Congress Writes Justice Department, Urges Them To Challenge Tinubu’s Decision!

Two members of the United States Congress are urging the Department of Justice to reopen an investigation into oil giants Shell and Eni over allegations of corruption surrounding a 2011 deal for lucrative Nigerian oil bloc Oil Prospecting License (OPL) 245.

Their call comes after Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu controversially restored the oil block’s ownership to the European firms.

In a letter dated May 8, 2024 to Attorney General Merrick Garland, Representatives Maxine Waters and Joyce Beatty alleged that Shell and Eni violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) by paying over $1.1 billion in bribes to Nigerian officials, including former President Goodluck Jonathan, to secure the OPL 245 oil rights.

“Available evidence implicates both companies in a scheme that resulted in the payment of $1.1 billion in bribes to Nigerian government officials,” stated the lawmakers from the financial services and national security committees.

They emphasised that U.S. law prohibits American firms from bribing foreign officials to benefit their business interests.

Shell and Eni, being registered with the SEC, “continue to profit from the deal in violation of the FCPA,” they added.

“Eni’s legal challenge, filed at the International Centre for Settlement of Investor Disputes (ICSID) and based upon the corruptly acquired prospecting license and related Resolution Agreement, as well as the use of the original contract in arbitration proceedings, constitutes further violation of the FCPA.

“The ICSID proceedings are currently suspended until May 23, 2024, with the agreement of the parties, suggesting that a settlement is being negotiated. Allegations have been made in the Nigerian press of further corruption relating to a settlement,” the lawmakers said.

“Shell and Eni, both registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), continue to profit from the deal in violation of the FCPA.

“The reopening of this case would further illustrate the U.S.’ commitment to ‘aggressively pursue foreign bribery cases,’ as stated in the U.S. Strategy on Countering Corruption and reaffirm its pledge to fully implement the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention.

“We urge you to leverage this potent anti-corruption law to address the issues in this case and to send a powerful message that the United States stands vigilant in its pursuit of corporate crime around the globe,” they added.

OPL 245 is perhaps the most talked-about asset in Nigeria’s oil industry. It covers 1958 square kilometers and holds over nine billion barrels of crude oil, equivalent to nearly one-quarter of Nigeria’s total proven reserves.

The deal popularly called the Malabu scandal involved the alleged transfer of about $1.1 billion by Shell and ENI through the Nigerian government to accounts controlled by a former Nigerian petroleum minister, Dan Etete.

From accounts controlled by Etete, it was alleged that about half the money ($520 million) went to accounts of companies controlled by Aliyu Abubakar, popularly known in Nigeria as the owner of AA oil.

Anti-corruption investigators and activists suspect he fronted for top officials of the Goodluck Jonathan administration as well as officials of Shell and ENI.

The transaction was authorised in 2011 by Jonathan through some of his cabinet ministers and the money was payment for OPL 245, one of Nigeria’s richest oil blocks.

The oil resources of the OPL 245 license have remained undeveloped since the controversies began.

Ass licked, and asslickers in the mud! They go lick tire. Nothing go come out from Asiwaju ass!

condralbedez:
So this Osun-Ogun River basin appointment can't still be given to FKK or Reno Those two ass licker don suffer nobi small.

Wetin concern igbos for this! No be una say Ikwerres no be igbos? Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

OMEGA009:
Correct me if I’m right but is there no competent person in the whole Ogun/Osun area?

Will the Igbos or Ikwerres be happy if a Yoruba man was appointed to head the NDDC or Igbo region?

Chukwuemeka Woke ~ roughly translated in igbos dialect G-d has done well, strong man! is not an Igbo man ohhh! Because I know this same geng of Ikwerre is not Igbo will later count this as part of appointments given to igbos!

Plus a fair and equitable share of the monstrous loans they cheered Buhari into taking!

DMerciful:
Lagos belongs to all Nigerians equally.

If you don't like it, support Yoruba nation. Even after Yoruba nation is granted, you must pay Nigerian reparations to take Lagos for the billions that Nigerians invested in Lagos as assets

Voting in Lagos is for aboriginals and lawful residents, not online Lagosians who are currently been deported to their respective states!

SmartPolician:


If you had some common sense, you would understand that I am trying to explain what is happening, not telling the government what to do. Besides, I ended the comment with not voting for Thaddeus again if he didn't perform well.

Will these Baterians plan a pogrom against sane Yorubans for having what I called, "Broader view" of life and we'll being? Just like Sawo Olu and his agents recently shown by deporting miscreants from other SW states forming online Lagosians!

JAMO84:
We don't need to fight Oyibo in Yoruba land, they are too inconsequential in the scheme of things, but you see those useless "Yoruba buts" that help our enemies to vote in snakes like this, they really need to be properly dealt with.


If the wall doesn't crack, a lizard cannot get into it.

You spoke my mind!

DMerciful:
You always deflect with this pedestrian logic of someone not quoting you when you have nothing to respond.

If you make illogical comment, someone has to counter you! If you don't want counter then don't comment on a public forum. Rvbbish

They'll even fry their brothers and sisters for showing compassion to a stranger with great investment in Lagos!

PDPdestroyer:

Yoruba Obidients are the scum of the earth, utterly brainless folks

Bruh I guess you'd be voting in Lagos from Okitipupa? Haha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣...... Una no accept the project without without compensation? No be una dey shout support with out seeing it from business and investment prism?

Una fo wail tire. The good people of Lagos, the aboriginals, the lawful residents knows a viable, quality representative who interphase between constituents and the government! I know person like you prefer Oluomo as Rep!

We igbos no be like una!
Enugu had just passed a bill to allow Fulani ranchers to procure land in Enugu State! If they get money, land dey to give them, otherwise, the governor would give them his father's ancestral land!

helinues:
Dust bin materials

The guy's case and others shall be revisited squarely before the next election.

The acclaimed woke Yoruba , shame on you people

I laugh at the infantile, disgusting, dysfunctional behavior of certain people from that region that usually vote druggies & oluwole certificate holders. Now here's the strangest part of their hypocritical life....

During the heydays of this Landmark issue. They saw it from a tribal prism, rather from common good and business perspective. This is even though they know the demolition is needless. But like a herd of slowpokes, they all supported the coastal highway with needed or needless demolition just to spite their imaginery land grabbers; the igbos!

Fast-forward to now that notable personalities have spoken in support of landmark, especially the viral tweet by wife of a former deputy CBN gov. And now that it appears Landmark is upping the game and definitely going to collect monstrous compensation, they're now venting from their dirty mouth! Who do una all these strong thing?

They all supported the demolition with or without compensation. Even though it's gonna turn them to paupers! Only landmark was thoroughly against it.

The one that goes by the name seunmsg will be wondering why did the Rep present only Landmark petition? The old cargo can not comprehend the fact that only those against a project can legitimately petition against the project. Abi all of una no say the project good, and y'all accept it wholeheartedly. So why should the Rep member present a petition for those who accepted it?

You sure say these Baterians normal so?

Do you really have shame at all? Well, I don't honestly expect you to Sha. I'm sure you spewing this tribal thrash might be from Ikare.....or Ogbomosho (sic)..... Online Lagosian first Escape Sawo Olu deportation agents before talking of 2027.....

seunmsg:
Shame on all the “I’m Yoruba but” crew. This is the calamity they brought to Yoruba land. Just imagine for a second what a Chinedu would have done to property owners of Yoruba ancestry in Lagos if he had won! God willing, we shall correct this error in 2027. Never again will a migrant be allowed to represent any of our states in the National Assembly.

As everyone else knows, igbos always fight against anything bad, unruly and unjust...
Buhari was unjust, unruly and bad. At least you guys have put shame aside and accused him as such.... Then, Wike was trying but now that he has eaten Bateria and became unruly, unjust, count the igbos to push back!

For the igbos, you must continue to be good always, the day you turn rogue, expect a push back even if you are prophet MNK!

favor914:
The irony is that the igbos were supporting Nyesom Wike of the Pdp dynasty for 8 years when he was purportedly fighting Buhari & Amaechi.

All of a sudden because he his now friends with their nemesis President Bola Tinubu, he has become Igbo enemy number 1, why so?

Umu Yolluba zukwanu ike!!!!

Every unpopular eye sore una go support! Them swear for una?
• Army reprisals against innocent villagers, Men, women & children, una support!
• Bad Economic policies, una support!
• Wike unruly political behavior, una support!

Wetin sef? Them swear for una?

seunmsg:
Nothing will happen if Fubara is impeached. If you guys see nothing wrong in his attempt to impeach 27 elected members of the House of Assembly, why then are you crying over the plan to impeach him?

Just illeja and Itshekiri are yulloba? What is the color of your foolishness

Paraman:
Ikwerres are not igbos

Even Hellinus sef na mama born am..him too don tire! Haha 🤣🤣🤣🤣

cenaman:
Where is helinues when u need him most?

Ndi mmadu sef!

If you OUK helped you, so you want use Nigerians reward your personal helper?

Make una dey try keep una mumu for house abeg!

Sexually starved ladies everywhere! This one na end time teacher according pastors in the house!

If not for the innocent, Omo na to wish them peaceful self annihilation! Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Namaster:
If not for the INNOCENT people that'd end up as casualties, I'd say more power to them.

Cultists are LAZY COWARDS who hide behind a group rather than fight their own battles man to man.

Makes me laugh when they come on social media to hail themselves as "strongman". Strongman, my ass!

See black hyena dey advise innocent lamb what's good for them! No be yeye juju be this so?? Carry your advise go give Baterians!

GBTYO:


It's obvious that they are not interested in wining new members to their Bitter Obi cult but rather doing everything to keep his shrinking followers from ditching the church of Bitter life .

I have already ordered 100 cartons of Obi Bitters for free delivery and Gifts to any identified Baterian to disinfect!

It's a patriotic duty to help these urchins!

Asiwaju is going in 2027...... I know by now he is smelling the coffee!

Aunt Remi might be suffering subtle discrimination silently. It's unheard of for a first lady to keep quiet while things are going bad. Na by to assign her to commission Navy vessel?

We want.her sitting down in Aso Rock, helping her husband make good humane decision, rather than by sycophants wanting to carve their own political fiefdom!

Imagine Gbaja dey form capo for Aso Rock where aunt Remi dey, or even wassup bro like bros Seyi!

At least the Shege banza would be bearable for the remaining three years!

Gbaja and Reno doing the greatest harm!

Gbaja has through allegations of his teleguiding Efcc has rendered Efcc to be a boy scout as a result of this Bello saga which words on the street says is been pushed by Gbaja at the urgings of Faleke! See what I'm saying! Imagine when no politician fear Efcc again.... That means them go just go case out the whole budget!

As for the scammer Personified oga Simlin Wendell, he's just a hungry Biko with a white goatee!

Two key family members of any president is the wife and son. These two persons wield great influence on the president. Politics apart, jabs apart, everyone wants to see less suffering, less drama, less bad economic policy.

It's actually the family members who can look oga presido in the eye and tell him the situation as it really is!

That's what Aisha did, before Buhari in all honesty began to inform Nigerians that he's not aware. And truly he may not be aware, as he's not the smart type!

That's what Patience did. The little gains GEJ recorded was actually because most people were scared of Patience disgracing them in public. They always remember Ameachi and the mic saga!

So what is our dear, pretty first lady doing? Two people who pose the greatest danger to Asiwaju right now are :

1. CoS Gbaja. Don't take my word for it. Gbaja, like a little baby alligator is trying to fix up upon his narrow mouth, the jaws of a crocodile, all in the name of Asiwaju!

2. Reno Omokri. This full blown werey has grown more enemies for Asiwaju than even the hardship caused by over Sabi Asiwaju in his Economic policies.

Make a public statement indirectly disassociating your self and Asiwaju Govt from some of their actions. This is one tactics Aisha used to redeem herself and children. I believed she learnt it from Patience!

Otherwise, you can sit by and watch!

Like I actually said previously, there are just four persons I personally like in Asiwaju team, oga Ojo, bros Seyi, Aunt Remi and Ganduje. The rest na bobo. Fire them, compensate them with cash or Diplomatic posts. Hire really people, give them real tasks with targets like companies do, and see how the economy will turn around. This advise is because of my wife who also is itshekiri like you. Otherwise, forget Aso Rock from May 29 2027.

Hahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣....... See who dey call people Marxist pigs.... Mouth like an alligator, but with a hummingbird ass!

GBTYO:


So you can go and beat him abi?

Baterians shame dey shame Nigerians!

Very shameless people, I swear
