kosovo:
@snowdrops You are wrong!
The entire Beautification exercise going on in the city costs N900 million.
IF you ask me, it's a fair amount, other Administrations have spent far larger amounts of money, without seeing a bulldozer

kosovo:
talking too much is not my type,
as regarding construction of Roads, i saw it clearly
2 days Ago, Gov Oshiomole disclosed that money has been released for the procurement of 6 massive drilling rigs for Edo south to provide water.
The Hospitals have not gotten any overhaul yet.
wait . . you expect the Governor to touch all sector in one year? That's why Nigeria is in its present state, Nigerians always dream of the impossible.
To say that your are unaware of the employment and further asking this Question has put all your claims to shame,
This was the Governor song during his one year in office celebration.
Now, it is clear you are getting your information from a PDP member.

kosovo:
i thought you were in London, how come you know so much more?
 
if anyone that has been to Benin in the last 2 days seconds your opinion, i ll rest my case.
   Thank you!

The attention of the Comrade Governor Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole has been drawn to a news report on your website accusing the Governor of appointing Barrister Austin Atakpu as a Special Adviser on Taxation, whom you described in your report as an ‘ex-convict’. We wish to use this opportunity to state the following; that Austin Atakpu is a Special Adviser to the Governor on Taxation and Revenue and not ‘Tax Collector General’ as insinuated in your report. There is a Board of Internal Revenue under the Chairmanship of Ese Owie,Ph.D, an alumnus of Oxford University, UK. Aside from that, he is also a Lawyer and has vast experience on taxation, revenue generation and management. His experience also encompasses international trade law and policy, financial services regulation, insurance and shipping. 

Secondly, the Comrade Governor had no knowledge about the alleged conviction of Austin Atakpu in England neither was he aware that Austin Atakpu had brushes with the law in the United Kingdom with regard to conviction. If there is any such evidence of conviction made available to the Comrade Governor, he will apply the necessary logic. Besides, Atakpu has contested election in the past and the understanding would be that he had gone through the screening authorities before he could be certified for election. There was nothing to suggest that he was convicted as alleged at the time of his appointment.

On appointments, the Comrade Governor has repeatedly said that the State would not compromise on merit in recruiting the right personnel to drive development and governance in Edo State. He believes in the ability of members of his cabinet to create the right platform to engage governance and make life meaningful for the average Edo person. He certainly will not compromise on those solemn pledges which he had made when he was being sworn into office as Governor of Edo State. If he possesses the right information, he will act accordingly. Thank you.

PRINCE KASSIM AFEGBUA

CHIEF PRESS SECRETARY TO THE EDO STATE GOVERNOR.

Charge (v) was a charge that the three solicitors had made claims for costs on the Legal Aid Fund which they knew or ought to have known they could not justify. The appellant and Mr Nwoko were convicted. Mr Farrell was acquitted on the grounds that the claims in question had been made against the Fund after he ceased to have any connection with the firm. So far as Mr Nwoko was concerned, such claims were made during his second period of stewardship, which lasted between December 1998 and February 1999. The appellant was convicted because such claims were made out during the period when she was held out as a partner in the firm, and she had told the Tribunal that she had supervised the files relating to the immigration work in respect of which those claims were made.


By Charge (vi), the three solicitors were charged with failing to exercise proper supervision of staff. Mr Farrell was acquitted, because the Tribunal was entirely satisfied that during his period as a principal at the firm he had exercised full and proper supervision over the staff. It convicted Mr Nwoko on the basis that the incorrect claims referred to in Charge (v) had been submitted by members of staff who could only have pursued that course in the absence of proper supervision. It is clear from the chairman's oral remarks at the end of the hearing that the Tribunal also intended to convicted the appellant on this count (presumably for similar reasons), although this fact is omitted from its formal Findings and Order.


Under Charge (vii) the three solicitors were convicted of failing to ensure that the office of Awtar Singh & Co was properly supervised, contrary to Rule 13 of the Solicitors Practice Rules. Mr Farrell was convicted on the basis that although he had been careful in his supervision of the practice during the time when he was a principal, Rule 13 imposed a continuing obligation, and Mr Farrell had left the firm on 30th October 1998 without ensuring that it would be properly supervised following his departure. He had made a relaxed assumption that Mr Nwoko was going to pick up the reins, but this did not occur. It was unacceptable that between 30th October 1998 and the beginning of January 1999 the firm had continued to operate without a fully qualified solicitor having responsibility for its supervision.


Mr Nwoko was convicted of Charge (vii) during his first period of stewardship on the basis that he had failed to comply with the requirements of Practice Rule 13 either in the ordinary course of fulfilling the requirement for attendance by a qualified solicitor when the office was open to the public or in the sense that he was acting on behalf of a deceased sole principal's personal representative. With regard to the second period, he had simply abandoned the practice at the end of February 1999 without taking any steps to ensure that proper supervision arrangements were in place following his departure.


The Tribunal said of the appellant that even if she was qualified for a period of less than three years she could not escape the responsibility for ensuring that the firm was supervised in accordance with Practice Rule 13. At the time when she was held out as a partner in the firm she was actually liable for any breach of Rule 13.


Finally, all three solicitors were convicted of failing to deliver and/or delivering late Accountants' Reports relating to the affairs of the firm notwithstanding Section 34 of the Solicitors Act 1974 and the rules made under that section. These reports ought to have related to the year ending 31st May 1999 and the period between 1st June 1999 and 17th December 1999 (when the Law Society intervened in the practice). The three solicitors were convicted in so far as each had been a principal and/or partner and/or had been held out as a principal in the firm during one or other or both of the periods to which the outstanding accountants' reports related.


The Tribunal imposed a fine of �5,000 on Mr Nwoko on each of the four charges on which he was convicted, and ordered him to pay 40% of the costs of the application. We were told that the Tribunal faced the difficulty in his case that because he was absent in Nigeria, a period of suspension would have little real effect, and the Law Society would be able to exercise control over him in future by reason of the fact that he had been fined on this occasion. Mr Farrell, for his part, was suspended from practice for one year and ordered to pay 20% of the costs. The appellant, on the other hand, was struck off the roll and ordered to pay 40% of the costs

Ekhabafe served as Commissioner for Justice and Attorney-General of the state from 1999 to 2007. He was appointed the Commissioner for Energy and Water Resources before he resigned from the cabinet of Governor Oserheimen Osunbor.

Shortly after resigning from the Osunbor cabinet, he was appointed chairman of the PDP faction led by Chief Tony Anenih as against Edward Sado, who was elected by the Samuel Ogbemudia/Mike Akhigbe faction of the party.

Sado challenged the action in the court. The case was still on when he died.

At 29, Ekhabafe was the youngest commissioner in 1983 in the short-lived Second Republic Bendel State government of Samuel Ogbemudia, where he served as Commissioner for Special Duties.

There's no such thing as the main company, what it is, is that we are all kia motors under different dealerships and are bound by contract to sell at thesame prices, (just like in the case of toyota nigeria and all their dealers.), As regards the lease, as we are not a financial institiution and are not authorized to give loans, what we do is to send a representative of any of the banks we deal with to you, they will discuss the lease terms and show you a break down of your monthly repayments, then we supply the proforma invoice which the bank will request from you, when your cheque is ready, we deliver your car to you anywhere in nigeria, if you would like us to have a formal discussion, you can give me call on 070829322474, or u can text me and i'll call you right back, Our price comes inclusive of 1 year free servicing and registration is free, and as a gesture of goodwill i'm willing to give you a favourable discount, hope this helped

hi everyone. im highly impressed by the way ppl respond to others prob. im new to this forum and hope i can get response from u lovely ppl.
my mum's visiting visa app was denied. the reason is that she did not show evidence of her circumstances in nigeria- employment. she actually submited an invitation letter from my hubby, his bank statement, my acct statement n my new baby pics, sponsorship letter 4rm my father in law and his bank statement with a very large balance, letter 4rm her office 2 show she's been granted annual leave, letter from my hubbys school 2 show he's paid his 1st,2nd and part of his final fees even thogh he was in 2nd yr then, tenancy agreement. infact we submited all we could just 2 let this ppl know dat she's only coming 2 see her 1st grandchild and has no plans of living in the uk. she was given the appeal pack which she filled and submited(paper hearing and no representative). she submited this on the 14/05/09 @ BHC Abuja with her bank statement showing her monthly salary, sponsors statement & identification letter from her employer. we focused on the reason for denial by the ECO and so didnt put all other docs used in her first application cos they were not returned with the refusal letter so they should still have them.
its 5weeks now and i would like to know how long it takes 4 AIT to acknowledge the receipt of the appeal and also if the docs submitted are ok cos its paper hearing.
would also lik to know when to contact the AIT office about this appeal cos 4 now we dont know wats happening and do not trust the nigerian postal services.

ur response will be much appreciated. God bless
