This agbaje guy get something wey dey give am confidence sha.

If innocent doesn't take over the bank then there is federal involvement

Agbaje don retire nah, even though he use style to still stay on the scene by creating another company within GTB

Like play like play!

The Chairman of Innoson Group of Companies and proprietor of the Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing Company, Dr. Innocent Chukwuma, has stated that he is looking forward to the day when he would take over the ownership and management of the Guarantee Trust Bank.


Chukwuma said this during an interactive session with journalists where he disclosed that he used to have the best business relationship with the bank until the current managing director took over the leadership of the bank with ethnic bias and the relationship started going sour.

He said: “I am waiting for the time when the cumulative interest on the money GTB owes me would overwhelm it so that I will take over the bank. This is what I am waiting for. That is why I no longer disturb them. But I am assuring all the customers of the GTB that when I take over the bank, I will manage it better. So, they should not entertain any fear. I have not done any business that failed. I will run the bank better than its current managers.”


He added: “I used to be the bank’s best customer in the South-east when Tayo was alive. It is because of me that it opened a branch in Nnewi. But the managing director that succeeded him was more interested in tribal fights. I think that is why he is fighting me. But I have proved him wrong in everything he is doing. I have defeated him in all the courts that heard the case. What is remaining is for the bank to pay me what it owes me.


“The bank carelessly and wrongfully deducted money from my accounts. When I discovered this I took the bank to court and won. But the bank has not paid me even though we had gone up to the Supreme Court. May be the managing director is waiting for Nigeria to change its laws because of him.

“But the beauty of the whole thing is that the money is attracting interest at the rate of 22 per cent. I have no other choice than to take over the bank if it cannot pay me what it owes to me. The interest has been running at 22 percent for about 11 years now. And the bank management does not want to resolve it.”


Chukwuma added that the bank is wasting time changing its name because he would return the bank to its original name when he would took over its management.

After this Saturday election or these decampees will hide their head in shame after Soludo wins.

The ones that were decamping and resigning anyhow before Edo governorship election are in the wilderness now.

ARROBA:
It gladdens my heart that Anambra airport will be opened this weekend. My only concern is that, the remaining work such as the avio bridges won't be abandoned?

What about the new cat 9 fire trucks that was meant to arrive in October, still haven't arrived.

The Fire Trucks have already been fully paid for and waiting delivery by early next year

The manufacture is building the 3 Fire trucks from scratch not off the shelf

And the avio bridges too

Landmack:
It’s not by having a thousand paged manifesto filled with grammar.

If he’s the right man for Anambra,he will surely win. Same goes to other candidates


Now what’s on d lips of every Anambra man and woman is God should give Anambra the right leader this time around. Not someone that will get in there and turn the states treasury to his private bank or party bank.Not someone that will get in there and employ only the youths from his village etc


The right leader is all we want in Anambra

It's from a manifesto you know who is the right candidate or not.

Whether the candidate delivers his or her manifesto is another matter entirely.

But from what I read there, he is good to go....

Manifesto was elaborate up to how he intends to fund the projects and services, He even said a month after swearing in he will put out the deliverables with their time line of delivery that will help to guage if the office holder is failing or succeeding.

(That is another thing the Nigeria political system should incorporate, there should be a sort of punishment when an office holder does not deliver on his manifesto after so so period of time)

I don't know what else you are expecting from a candidate.

Omo Soludo manifesto na full university course o!

I read till page 27 which is already loaded and elaborate and he is still telling me that he will elaborate more at other sections of the manifesto

I check page number am still at 27/72 pages

How ifeanyi uba and Andy uba fit compete with this one?

Gabkosh:
We are not here to show school buildings. Don't start your mumuness

TEDHorsePower:
I told you that your lies and propaganda cannot stand here. Take your trash outta here, you have been disgraced and embarrassed enough.

Now you are a chartered engineer, but you spend all the 24hrs on this thread, is this thread where you practice your profession? Why is it that miserable frustrated people always come here to us how they are this and that just to make one useless point, whereas in real life they are just failures. Pandax, you are a failure in life, that's why you camp here night abs day.

You are talking roads, till date, Anambra has the best roads networks in SE. Awka has well paved roads, flyovers, etc. Please tell us what good roads is in your Imo state, particularly Owerri that's littered with almost 100% bad roads.

Pandax, you have failed in your mission here and shall continue to fail.


[s][/s]

The quality of your write ups and the person you quoted is just miles apart.

Please try and be measureing up with quality response

Its all for the good, progress and development of Anambra

Nigerians are definitely a joke to this APC people.

How can Nigerians keep condoning these people and their nonsense like north Korean citizens

Are you sure this name is real?!

A man answering Yoruba and Igbo name, not a lady who may have gotten married.

Sounds like that WAEC name conjunction

What I see here is big opportunity for Nigeria

With the huge refining capacity Nigeria is currently building up with dangote, BUA, NNPC(TAM) and Modular refineries at different stages of completion,

They have a ready market for their products, all they have to do is wet the west and central Africa market with Oyel

The smugglers can knock themselves out with the excess product available,

Lots of direct and indirect jobs will come out of this and massive wealth for the owners

The only downside for Nigeria is that the market has to dictate the prices of the product, Subsidy has to go completely.

You are just waking up with last year pictures.

OP you think say u wise!

You are a MUMU MAN!!

Am hoping this is not the finished work of the floor.

If not why are they already putting up chairs on them

samunaka:
This PDP self na wao, so what was all the brouhaha about the acting chairman of the APC Mala Buni being illegal and not fit to conduct Congresses, why taking Buni to court when you also intended replacing your elected chairman with an acting chairman

You clearly don't understand the matter involved here

Even though ikpeazu has not been up to par in governance, But it's obvious this write up is from an opposition laced with propaganda.

See even the reason they put up as why ikpeazu government has not completed the flyover.

Anyway the criticism is putting the governor on his toes cause recently he has been doing more and it's good for Abia people

As tall as papilio is,the son is already taller than him,and he hasn't even stop growing! Amazing.

The son heading to 7.0 if care is not taken.

MrBrownJay1:
all these BS pyramid schemes to defraud people!

No fraud here bro and also no pyramid schemes

It's a commitment circle, after you complete your four stages of receiving payments you leave the program.

If you desire to continue you have to go and start from stage one all over again.

6500 naira only payment your are going to make after your group fills up could be to who brought you into the program, the person could be your brother, aunty, friend, son, daughter...I wonder how those people are going to defraud you.

chariisGRACE:
Which kind dirty graphics be this one?

Bro leave graphics and concentrate on the message.

It's not graphics that will earn you some money.

Seniorwriter:
Try post the gifting progress so far....



@SENIORWRITER

Moving well and about to fill out for the next stage.

Below is a picture of the current stage of my gifting circle group

Am Jason in the circle

A LOT!! I Know.



You can easily earn good substantial income in few weeks with this new amazing opportunity

It's a gifting and re-gifting platform.

It was founded in CANADA, spread to USA, UK & Europe, now in AFRICA in 2020 during the lock down that people were at home and not going to work or earning..

You get started with gifting a person in the gifting circle (The gifting circle is generated from previous people who have gifted to receive their turn back; you will be added to your circle after you gift).

You are gifting a one time 6500 Naira and that's the only money you are ever going to give out from your pocket..

After joining, you have to introduce 2 other people who are *TRUSTWORTHY* to join. Everyone joining has to introduce at least 2 people each

*EARNING BREAKDOWN IN NAIRA:*

AFTER PAYING #6500,

*First Stage:* Your will be regrouped in a circle and 8 PPLE PAY YOU BACK #6500 = #52,000
YOU KEEP #19,500
REGIFT #32,500

*Second Stage:* You will be regrouped into another circle of people who have gifted 32K and another 8 PPLE PAY YOU #32500 = #260,000
YOU KEEP #97,500
REGIFT #162,500

*Third Stage:* 8 PPLE PAY YOU#162,500= #1,300,000
YOU KEEP #910,000
REGIFT #390,000

*Fourth Stage:*. 8 PPLE PAY YOU #390,000 = #3,120,000 AND THE PROGRAM STOP HERE.

TOTAL AMOUNT YOU EARN = #19,500 + #97,500 + #910,000 + #3,120,000 = *#4,147,019*
IN 4 Stages

It's simple Mathematics that is at play here and works amazingly

its just for you to introduce 2 people and pay #6500 when your group fills up and payment announcement is made and that's it.



So come and join a group of like-minded people & say goodbye to poverty..

Nigerians make building airport look like a big deal I swear

Airport is just 3.5km wide road as runway ...plus German floor to the terminal building as taxi way then a control tower ...then plus a terminal building that should not cost more than 300 million say e too fine 1 billion

A local government that's serious and have the land can easily build and airport

Bayelsa airport should not cost more than 4 billion honestly maximum say 6 billion ...but they spent 65 billion on that thing

Nigeria is broke but we can achieve more with the money we have

If say you are a building contractor, with this mentality na substandard projects you will be delivering.

Thank God you are not.

How is organising an event a crime?! beside shebi the court told them not to start any nonsense impeachment process.

favor914:
What does transmission of election results have to do with winning elections? Does electronic, or manual transmission change the collated results? We have so many blind minded people in Nigeria.

So why are APC government and members against electronic transmission of results?

Penguin2:
Silly excuse!

The consideration of the electoral act did not come impromptu. It was scheduled months before that day that the bill would be determined.

It therefore amounts to legislative irresponsibility on the side of Ekwunife if she chose to fix program with her constituents on the same day.

And can we see proof of such engagement?

Again if you were with your constituents on that day, why would they turnaround to demand your whereabouts on that day.

It’s time to start sieving out these irresponsible idiots.

Her defence needs to be verified, even if it was made up, she has made it clear in her reply she supports electronic transfer of results.

Be that as it may, even if all the absentees voted for the bill, APC idiots would still have carry the day.

The so called progressive and democrats!

Electronic Transmission Of Election Results: Why I Was Absent At Voting – Ekwunife

THE senator representing Anambra Central in the nation’s upper legislature, Senator Uche Ekwunife has given reasons for her absence during the voting for electronic results transmission.

The senator said she is fully in support of electronic transmission of election results, adding that her absence was because she had scheduled programmes in her constituency.

She said: “In the last 48 hours, I have read and listened to statements by some constituents who feel disappointed that I was not present to cast my vote during the consideration of the Electoral Act amendment Bill to allow for electronic transmission of results during elections in Nigeria.

“I have on many occasions, stated my support and stand for electronic transmission of results. I feel strongly that instant electronic transmission of election results will address many of the challenges in our electoral process and end the alteration of results and electoral fraud during collation which is usually occasioned by human error or deliberate attempt to upturn the wishes of the people. “My stand has always been that electronic transmission of results should be mandatory in all polling units and collation centers across Nigeria without exceptions.

“Even though some argued that INEC should be allowed to choose or exempt areas where there are poor network coverage, I vehemently argued against such position, which in my opinion, would favour some regions against others, knowing fully well that the South East is one of the regions in Nigeria that have good network coverage.

“I stated that if ATM, POS, Internet banking and other electronic transactions are obtainable nationwide, I do not see why electronic transfer of election results cannot be equally achieved nationwide.

“I argued with respect to the situation where card readers were used in the South East in the last general elections, while manual voting was allowed in some other parts of the country, which significantly affected the voting strength of the region in the previous elections.



“While I consider the recent complaints by some of my constituents as germane, it is important to state that my absence at the time of voting was never deliberate.

“The deliberation on the electoral act which was supposed to come up on Wednesday was moved to Thursday, and was expected to stretch to Monday, July 19, for voting.

” However during the plenary on Thursday after some of us had travelled, Senators present extended plenary hours to vote on the electronic transmission in order to conclude it same day, instead of continuing on Monday, which was why the Senate plenary lasted till 9pm.

“However, due to my already fixed engagements in my senatorial district, where I was scheduled to commission some projects, including a 3-bedroom bungalow we built for a less privileged woman in Isuaniocha, as well as a block of classrooms at Community Secondary School, Ukpo and perimeter fence project in the school amongst other engagements, I had to travel to Anambra to meet up while hoping to join my colleagues on Monday for the voting.

“Unfortunately it was not stretched to Monday as Senate adjourned for annual recess.

“On this note, I wish to sincerely apologise to all those who feel disappointed that I wasn’t there to cast my vote. I am not someone that would stay or shy away from such an important activity.

“As a servant of the people, I always try to meet up with every of my constituency engagements to the best of my ability.

“However, let me restate my position that I am absolutely in support of electronic transmission of election results nationwide and committed to giving my constituents the best of representation.”

Vanguard recalls that Ekwunife’s constituents at Obosi in Idemili North local government are had queried the senator to explain why she was absent during such an important exercise at the Senate.

APC how can you be a witch and mosquito at the same time.

It's not that all these wicked human beings will live forever, we still hear they have died!

So what is the sense in this selfishness.

If you loose an election through a transparent way you actually won in the real sense.

OPERATORS of Nigeria’s telecommunications sector have disagreed with senators elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who claim that the country does not have the capacity to implement electronic transmission of election results.

Telecoms operators who spoke with The ICIR in separate interviews on July 16 said the level of telecommunications infrastructure and network coverage available in Nigeria at the moment could effectively sustain electronic transmission of election results across the country.

APC members in the Senate, who opposed moves to adopt electronic transmission of election results in amendments to the Electoral Act, had on July 15 voted in support of an altered clause which stated that the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) and the National Assembly would determine whether the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) could transmit results through electronic means or not.




Senate President Ahmed Lawan, a member of the APC. APC senators rejected electronic transmission of election results


There were reports that the leadership of the APC had instructed its members in the National Assembly to reject moves, supported by the majority of Nigerians, to adopt electronic transmission of results in the 2023 elections.

Although it is widely believed that the APC’s opposition to electronic transmission of results is based on poor performance in the last six years, the party’s members in the Senate justified their decision to reject electronic transmission of results with the claim that the NCC had said that only 43 per cent of Nigeria had internet network.


Following the endorsement by 52 APC senators, the Senate adopted the amended Section 52(3), which read, “INEC may consider electronic collation of results provided the national network coverage is adjudged to be adequate and secured by the Nigerian Communications Commission and approved by the National Assembly.”

Initially, Section 52(3), in the report submitted by the Senate Committee on INEC, had read: “The commission (INEC) may transmit results of elections by electronic means where and when practicable.”

We have capacity to deliver electronic transmission of results -Telecoms operators

The provisions of Section 52(3), as adopted by the Senate, implies, if signed into law, the NCC – the telecommunications sector regulator – would have to convince the National Assembly before the lawmakers could approve electronic transmission of results in future elections in Nigeria.

By further implication, it also means that should the provision come into law, it was the National Assembly, rather than Nigerians, that would determine if election results would be transmitted electronically. And going by the APC’s majority in the federal legislature and the party’s leadership’s opposition to the moves to include electronic transmission of election results in the Electoral Act, it is highly unlikely that the National Assembly would approve the arrangement.

The APC senators and others who oppose the move raised concerns over the capacity of the telecommunications sector to guarantee electronic transmission of results.


However, representatives of telecoms operators, including captains of industry associations, have insisted that the current level of infrastructure and internet network coverage in Nigeria can guarantee the transmission of election results through electronic means.

Chairman of the Association of Licensed Telecom Operators of Nigeria (ALTON) Gbenga Adebayo told The ICIR that telecoms operators in Nigeria had the capacity to transmit election results electronically in all parts of the country.



Adebayo noted that the telcos were ready to deploy their services for election coverage once NCC gave them the go-ahead.

“Yes, with what we have today, the telecommunications sector can support INEC and the country in whatever they want to do. Telecoms services are available in all the local governments of the country, so that is not a problem at all.

“With what we have, the industry can support the electoral commission and the government in this regard. The NCC is fully prepared to guarantee electronic transmission of results. In terms of capacity, we have more than enough capacity to ensure electronic transmission of results across the country.

“The integrity of the service is guaranteed, the quality of service is assured and I am sure once the NCC gets the right communication from government, it will tell the industry what next to do and we are good to go. There are no concerns and no worries at all. The industry is prepared,” Adebayo said.

The 3G network, which is the minimum requirement for data services, is available in most towns, villages and communities across Nigeria, while the 4G network is obtainable in most cities.

“We have 3G and 4G networks in most areas and once you have 3G network you can do data services so I think we are more or less covered.”

Adebayo added that there would be no questions concerning the integrity and credibility of the election results transmitted through the infrastructure of the telecoms operators.

“The telecoms industry will not be a party in the electoral system, it will only be a vehicle for electronic transmission of results. The NCC and the sector have no role to play in the outcome of the electoral process, they can’t determine the results,” he stressed.

Also speaking with The ICIR, the immediate past president of the Association of Telecoms Companies of Nigeria (ATCON) Olusola Teniola noted that some of the members of the National Assembly who were opposing the inclusion of electronic transmission of results in the Electoral Act were giving excuses with unfounded concerns over the reliability of the telecoms sector.



But he stressed that NCC was very much aware of the reliability and sustenance of telecoms infrastructure which he said represented more than ‘$16 billion worth of investment by at least one company in the industry and collectively $72 billion dollars.’

Dismissing claims that available capacity in the sector could not guarantee reliable electronic transmission of results, Teniola said, “We (telecoms operators) can only state that the political arena should feel comfortable that the technology that would be adopted for electronic transmission of results will actually work and will not be subjected to failure.”

Noting that there were suggestions that, maybe, during collation and transmission of results all the telecoms companies could go offline, he said, “That has never happened in Nigeria. That statement is just scaremongering and is not backed by any empirical evidence.”

“I think we should be thinking of ways of ensuring that technology benefits the people through the process of electronic voting because all over the world, it has demonstrated transparency and delivered results in a timely manner,” he added.

The National Association of Telecoms Subscribers (NATS), an umbrella body of consumers of telecommunications services in Nigeria, also faulted the APC senators’ claim that the level of telecoms services and infrastructure in the country could not be relied upon for electronic transmission of election results.

Chairman of NATS Deolu Ogunbanjo, in an interview with The ICIR, noted that should the NCC eventually be given the responsibility of determining whether the telecommunications network coverage in the country was adequate for electronic transmission of election results when the amended Electoral Act came into law, the commission would have no reasons to advise against the transmission of results through electronic means.

“NCC cannot tell us that electronic voting or transmission of election results through electronic means cannot be done at this stage when broadband penetration is deep and high. And NCC is proud about this. They are deepening broadband penetration every day,” Ogunbanjo said.

He further faulted the amended Section 52(3) passed by the Senate, noting that the clause brought NCC into the electoral process and could thereby politicise the commission.

“It is INEC that is given the responsibility through the Electoral Act to conduct elections. The INEC will now liaise with the NCC to ensure that electronic voting or electronic collation and transmission of results is possible.”

Data from the NCC show that broadband penetration in Nigeria, which refers to the amount of the internet access market that high speed or broadband internet has captured, increased from 21.21 per cent in April 2017 to 40.66 per cent in April 2021.



NCC data show that in April 2021, 77.605 million Nigerians were connected to the internet, up from 40.481 million in April 2017.


However, Nigeria has recorded a decline in broadband penetration in recent months following the Nigerian government’s recent policy of linking the National Identity Number (NIN) with SIM cards. The Nigerian government had announced that it hoped to achieve 90 per cent broadband penetration in the country by 2023.

The reported claim by the APC senators that the NCC said only 43 per cent of Nigeria had internet network could not be verified, but there are indications that the lawmakers were referring to the level of broadband penetration in the country.

However, chairman of Association of Licensed Telecom Operators of Nigeria, Adebayo, noted that, currently, there were no infrastructural or internet network coverage challenges that could prevent electronic transmission of election results in Nigeria as telecoms services were available in all the local governments across the country.
