[color=royalblue]The truth is Unilever stood no chance in the soap making business again.

The competition and no regard for quality in that ministry is horrible.
[/color]
I don’t even see reason for any fuss about this Unilever move . They obviously believe they are not getting optimum returns on their investment in the production of body care products and they exited it to focus on product line where they have much advantage .

They don’t want to continue to sell a product they are not making reasonable returns from. Like u rightly pointed out , Unilever do not stand a chance in the body care products business considering so many competitors flooding the market with cheaper products

Only if you tell me that they are not aware that MRI scans exist. If they are doctors that time travelled in from the 19th century.
The reason why I’m not buying the conspiracy angle is whoever didn’t want him in the team could’ve played their card from inception to influence the coach from inviting him in the first place .

I mean why wait till he had an injury scare on the eve of the mundial before making a move to have him replaced ?

For all we know players like Ahmed Musa appear to be filling political/NFF slot in the team list cos he’s not done anything spectacular at club level in recent times to make him qualify for an invite .

But this is something that you confirm relatively easily by ordering a scan. Clinical diagnosis is notoriously unreliable for diagnosing musculoskeletal injuries especially in the knee. In a high-profile case like this where the sporting goal of a whole nation is involved, the reasonable thing is to scan the leg especially since the player is claiming to be okay.

This is not the case of an okada driver being misdiagnosed after falling into a gutter. This is a million-dollar athlete representing his country and they could not scan his knee to get more information. It is either someone wanted his slot OR the FA are too cheapskate to spend 50k-100k naira to scan the knee.
Do u consider the possibility that the doctors might not be the best at their jobs ?

Why couldn't the medical team organize a scan and get a more detailed diagnosis within 24-48 hrs. It is possible that someone wanted their own guy to come in and was looking for an opportunity.
Me I see it as more of incompetency on the part of the medical team than being a conspiracy sha .

They did him dirty and is quite sad because Sadiq Umar is one player I like. Maybe some powerful person don't want him in that team and was only waiting for an opportunity.

The guy really wanted to play. It was the back of the knee that was a bit swollen and he told the medical team he is fine. That he has witnessed something like this before that in the next 24 hours or so everything will be ok but those guys have different ideas.

I like the way Real Sociedad responded to all that. Sadiq Umar landed in Spain on Sunday, was pictured on Monday having intense training and came in as a substitute in their Copa Del Rey round of 16 match against Osasuna.
From the screenshot it clearly shows it was a case of misdiagnosis on the part of the Nigerian doctors . I don’t think there’s any conspiracy against him .

The Nigerian doctors obviously misdiagnosed him and the national team coach replaced Sadiq while relying on the Nigerian doctor’s medical advice .

Tunji-Ojo was NOT giving a contract from his ministry to his family

How did you know he got unfair advantage? Did Betta claim that? Betta awarded the contract Tunji did not

Unlike the Emefiele where it was Emefiele who awarded the contract to his wife

Until you can prove that Betta and Tunji are related, then this case has no similarity with Emefieles case
Na me collect the contract ?

Tunji Ojo that collected the contract has been invited by the relevant authorities to come and prove he didn’t use his position as minister to win a contract for his company in-spite of him brandishing CTC of resignation letter upandan from one TV stations to another .

Let’s see if they will buy this defence u are putting up for him .

raumdeuter:
You havent proved that Betta Edu is related to Tunji Ojo

The law says you cannot award a contract to a family member, Did Tunji award a contract to his family member
The law says u can’t use ur public office to get unfair advantage . Tunji Ojo used his position as minister to get a contract for a company he owns under a ministry supervised by his friend Betta Edu. That’s why Code Of Conduct Bureau invited him .

If it was nothing we won’t be having this discussion na .

raumdeuter:
How is that an offence by Tunji Ojo? Does this mean Betta is a dummy and Tunji has her remote control to make her grant the contract?

The law is below

The contract was not in Tunjis purview to grant, it was under the exclusive control of Betta. So how did it become Tunjis offence

Betta Edu awarded the contract to a person she is not related to
Emefiele awarded the contract to a person he is related to
grin grin

Just dey play. Did New Frontiers win a contract under Humanitarian Ministry when Betta Edu was not a minister? Definitely NO!

The Tunji Ojo u are defending knows this, that's why he's running from pillar to post with Certified True Copy of his resignation letter from the board trying to prove he is no longer a director of the company while he still holds the majority shares.

Going by the "off your mic" drama when Akpabio accused Tunji Ojo and others on the committee of being the beneficiaries of NDDC contracts while he(Akpabio) was under probe; one can conclude that Tunji Ojo actually came into politics with the intention of using his company as SPV to siphon as much public funds he can get access to.

Emefieles wife and inlaws as director and shareholder bid under his direct ministry

Tunji as shareholder No longer director bid under a different company

So how did Tunji Ojo use his position as shareholder to get his company benefit from a Ministry he didn't control? Did Tunji award the contract or
Or is Betta Edu now Tunji Ojos wife
Tunji ojo used his position as a public officer(Minister) to get another public officer (Betta Edu) award a contract to a company he is most likely the majority shareholder. The law didn't say it must be a ministry u control .

raumdeuter:
Did the company bid under the ministry Tunji Ojo was overseeing?

Emefiele as CBN governor gave a CBN contract to a company where he and his wife were directors, Did Tunji give the contract under his ministry?
The report did not say Emefiele was a director, It says his wife and inlaw are directors and shareholders.

Is it until the company bid under the ministry Tunji Ojo is supervising before it becomes corruption?

The same Tunji Ojo got contract awarded to the same company by NDDC while he was heading the HOA committee on Niger Delta na. No be today that man don dey chop our yam o.

Anyways, below is what Section 19 of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act 2000:

OFFENCE OF USING OFFICE OR POSITION FOR GRATIFICATION.
Any public officer who uses his office or position to gratify or confer any corrupt or unfair advantage upon himself or any relation or associate of the public officer or any other public officer shall be guilty of an offence and shall on conviction be liable to imprisonment for five (5) years without option of fine.

Very different scenarios

Tunji Ojo and his wife resigned from the company

The company sought contract from a ministry Tunji was not directly overseeing

To make this Emefiele similar to Ojo, will be if Emefiele and his wife resigned as directors and they are bidding for contract NOT under CBN but from Ministry of Justice or Defence
But Tunji Ojo is still a shareholder in the company and most likely holds the majority shares in the said company. Resigning as director doesn't mean he will not benefit from whatever profit the company makes executing the said contract which he definitely used his position to influence its award.

Emefiele too can claim he does not own the company that carried the renovation of CBN governor's lodge na.

What you quoted here shows they are directors in the company and not resigned like Tunji-Ojo
The company did not bid from the agency Tunji directly oversees
U are missing the point . Godwin Emefiele is not a director in the companies ; his wife and in-law are but Emefiele is being dragged for awarding a CBN contract to the while he was the CBN governor . It’s being referred to as corruption according to EFCC

I do not get why the solid minerals we have are left to the hands of illegal miners when the government should be raking in billions of dollars from the sale of these minerals. I reckon the money we get from crude oil exploration is not comparable to what we'd get from the vast mineral resources around the country.

Maybe the politicians have decided that the oil money is for the country but the money from solid minerals is for their pockets alone because I don't understand why the government will sit and watch so-called illegal miners doing their thing.
It's because the government is composed of humans and not just the building or office; Human beings that care about their own interest before any other thing.

The corruption in this country is mind-blowing. I only got to know that there's gold in Obanliku LGA and the Chinese are there mining. The state government is aware but it is kept under wraps because they're benefitting from it. How did I know? I had a neighbour who works with the Military Intelligence but Baba lied that he was working for the Red Cross in a bid to stay undercover. I wasn't sure so, I deliberately arranged a sitting with my folks from the Red Cross and invited him and just as suspected, it turned out that they didn't know him. It was only then he opened up to me. He used to lead combined team of military personnel to raid the mining sites.

A lot of shady things are happening...
Can u imagine ? I believe the reason why states and LGA's allow such illegal mining/exploration to go on with their blessing is due to the law that says everything beneath the ground belongs to FG.

They prefer tapping those resources illegally without losing a large chunk of the proceeds to FG who will only give them whatever minute percentage is stated in the constitution as derivatives. They prefer having greedy & unscrupulous foreigners mine it and remit sizeable part of the proceeds to them.

U will be surprised that after some successful raids on those illegal gold mining site by ur neighbor and his team, those financing the illegal mining might either bring him in to arrange for his settlement or they silence him

They shouldn't have waited up until there's a disaster to do the right thing...Explosives should be properly stored.

I doubt the state government is not aware of the mining activities in the state or the presence of these miners...
The state government is aware, they just do not want to accept their complicity in the tragic event. Below was what the security adviser to the governor of Oyo State said when he was on Channels TV:

Owoseni said, “For the past two years, the Oyo State governor has been engaging the federal government with regards to mining. We’ve discovered that there is an illegal mining market, gemstone market in Ibadan around Ojoo and populated by foreigners.

“And when you go there that you want to do any operation, either as police or state apparatus, they will show you approval which they have gotten from the federal government.”

Owoseni said that there is a lot of decadence in mining industry from those who are supposed to be in charge of monitoring miners by conducting checks.

He said, “The conditions are that you must have a magazine, that’s like a storage where you should keep these things,” going on to say that “along the line of maybe lackadaisical attitude, the fellows that will be asked to escort the buyers, the users, they may not do the right thing.

“Some of the people that we apply for those things, the address they indicate is not the address where they’ve taken the things to. Rather than taking them to the magazines or the storage close to the area where they will use it, they will divert these things.”

Or you think PwC wont be getting business from govt because Taiwo Oyedele is now Tax boss
Raumdeuter I remember u asked me the above question about conflict of interest while we were discussing Tunji-Ojo and his complicity in the Betta Edu. See what EFCC is saying about Emefiele's wife & in-law getting a contract from CBN while he was CBN governor

Furthermore, Emefiele was accused of conferring corrupt advantage on his wife, Omoile Margret, and brother In-law, Omoile Macombo, by allegedly awarding a contract for the renovation of a portion of the CBN Governor’s residence in Lagos to the tune of N99.8m.

The anti-graft agency alleged that the contract for the renovation of the CBN Governor’s lodge, located at No. 2 Glover Road, Ikoyi, Lagos, was awarded to a company named Messrs. Architekon Nigeria Limited, “wherein the duo are directors and majority shareholders."

The EFCC said Emefiele’s alleged action was a violation of Section 19 of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act 2000.
