| Politics › Subsidy Scam: Capital Oil Breaks Silence by callydon(op): 11:44pm On Sep 03, 2012 |
September 3, 2012 | 9:01 pm Sweet Crude By CLARA NWACHUKWU After months of keeping quiet, the management of Capital Oil and Gas Industries Ltd has described the allegations against it by the Aigboje Aig-Imokhuede-led Presidential Committee on Subsidy Payments Verification, as “completely unsubstantiated.” The oil marketing company also insisted that the committee’s allegations are “unwarranted and unacceptable.” The Presidential Committee had accused Capital Oil of two infractions by making claims for: “Subsidy payments without proof of existence of the mother vessel bill of lading or daughter-vessel bill of lading;” and “Subsidy payments for which proof of existence of the mother vessels were not found in locations claimed at the time of transshipment.” In an advertorial also carried in Sweetcrude, the oil marketing company reputed for having the biggest private depot operator with over 2000 workers in the country, said it was being forced to react in view of “the potential damages” the “falsehood” has on its business interests both within and outside the country. Defence of allegations Accordingly, Capital Oil while pledging “full support for the sanitisation of the petroleum industry” especially with regard to a more transparent subsidy regime, however called for “objectivity, fairness and honesty “in the ongoing subsidy scam probes. Therefore, criticising the Aig-Imokhuede Committee’s Report as falling short on these values, the oil marketing company went on to defend that regarding the mother vessel used for the transshipment, it had provided to the committee “evidence of both mother and daughter vessel documents (including bill of lading). We also provided letters from our product supplier (Vitol S.A. and Delany, both internationally recognised oil trading companies) confirming the transshipment and vessel positions. SGS, who is one of the key inspection companies worldwide, participated in the transshipment operations as mutual inspectors for us and our suppliers.” Against this backdrop, the company said it is “at a loss as to how the committee arrived at such an unbelievable and hasty conclusion when there is a clear evidence of bank funding of the transaction…” Parts of the evidence the company referred to included the opening of Form ‘M’ by COTECNA, a government pproved agent; establishment of Letter of Credit; appointment of an inspection agent by the bank to monitor loading and discharging operations; and the truck- out of the product from the depot. Furthermore, the company said it also tendered the requisite Notice of Readiness, NOR; and Notice of Arrival, NOA, to both the Department of Petroleum Resources, DPR, and the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory, PPPRA, prior to loading from mother vessel and prior to berthing of vessel at its depot. Besides, it noted that all other relevant government agencies were also physically present during the transaction including the Nigerian Navy, Nigeria Customs Services, Nigerian Immigration Services, NIMASA, NPA, bank surveyors, inspectors and external auditors and confirmed the transactions. Committee disregarded justice and objectivity Consequently, Capital Oil expressed dismay that in spite this proofs, the committee still “came up this indefensible and unsustainable report” against it. It also declared that its “operation is in total compliance with the government policy and laid down procedures on petroleum product importation.” Moreover, it noted that all subsidies paid to it in respect of all transactions under the PSF Scheme were domiciled with the banks that funded each transition as a refund to credit extended for them, while proof of sale of proceeds were tendered to the committee. Also, notwithstanding the fact that there was no prior notice for marketers to subscribe to Lloyds monitoring, Capital Oil maintained that the instrument of information used by the committee is in accurate, in view of the evidence provided by Vitol via its letter dated July 12, 2012, which also provided transshipment operations from Motion Tanker, MT Haruna Express to MT Rofos offshore Cotonou, in Benin Republic. As a result, the company accused the committee of “a flagrant case of double standard, since it requested for further verification of documents and did not bother to conduct the exercise before declaring that the company had a “likely fraudulent case for criminal investigations. www.vanguardngr.com/2012/09/subsidy-scam-capital-oil-breaks-silence/?utm_source=&utm_medium=twitter |

| Phones › Samsung Pays Apple $1 Billion By Sending 30 Trucks Full Of 5 Cents Coins by callydon(op): 3:14pm On Aug 29, 2012 |
This morning more than 30 trucks filled with 5-cent coins arrived at Apple’s headquarters in California. Initially, the security company that protects the facility said the trucks were in the wrong place, but minutes later, Tim Cook (Apple CEO) received a call from Samsung CEO explaining that they will pay $1 billion dollars for the fine recently ruled against the South Korean company in this way. the funny part is that the signed document does not specify a single payment method, so Samsung is entitled to send the creators of the iPhone their billion dollars in the way they deem best. This dirty but genius geek troll play is a new headache to Apple executives as they will need to put in long hours counting all that money, to check if it is all there and to try to deposit it crossing fingers to hope a bank will accept all the coins. Lee Kun-hee, Chairman of Samsung Electronics, told the media that his company is not going to be intimidated by a group of “geeks with style” and that if they want to play dirty, they also know how to do it. You can use your coins to buy refreshments at the little machine for life or melt the coins to make computers, that’s not my problem, I already paid them and fulfilled the law. A total of 20 billion coins, delivery hope to finish this week. Let’s see how Apple will respond to this. |

| Car Talk › 25 Rules For Driving In Lagos by callydon(op): 6:59pm On Jul 31, 2012 |
25 Rules of driving in Lagos 1. When in doubt, accelerate! 2. Be prepared to ram into anything stopping you that is wearing uniform in Lagos (police,traffic warden, FRSC, Kai brigade, fire brigade, VIO, LASTMA, LAMATA, LASWA) 3.If you get caught by any chance, do not allow them to enter your car, if they happen to get in do not drive from that spot (veer off traffic & settle promply), and if they don’t agree, pretend that you are calling your uncle who is in the army (believe me it always works), never follow them to any sort of office except you are ready to pay ten times more than what was demanded. 4. Never give police or VIO your original particulars (whether expired or up to date). 5. Danfo drivers believe they are immortal. Never yield to the temptation to teach them otherwise. 6. Okada riders have a pact with suicide, avoid them like a plaque. 7. Avoid BRT buses in all ramifications, they have no brakes. 8. Taxi cabs (oko asewo) should always have the right of way, all of them have been driving in Lagos for 25 years. 9. Never, ever, stop for a pedestrian unless he flings himself under the wheels of your car. 10. The first parking space you see will be the last parking space you see. Grab it. Survival of the fittest you may say! 11. Learn to swerve abruptly. In Lagos, potholes (and sometimes car-holes) are put in key locations to test drivers’ reflexes and shock absorbers,( I saw one man fishing in one of the potholes last week). 12. There is no such thing as “one-way” in Lagos. Expect traffic from any direction at all times. The okada riders are the experts in this area. 13. Never get in the way of a car that needs extensive bodywork, except you want to spend your whole Saturday at the panel beater’s place. 14. Morning rush-hours are equivalent to Lagos grand prix (who gets to the junction first). 15. There is no such thing as a short-cut during rush-hour traffic in Lagos. Everybody might be inclined to take that ’short-cut’. 16. When asking for directions, always ask at least three people. Lagosians always claim to know every inch of the city – even areas they’ve never been to. 17. Use extreme caution when pulling into service lanes. Service lanes are not for breaking down the traffic, but for speeding, especially during rush hour. 18. Never use directional signals, since they only confound and distract other Lagos drivers, who are not used to them. 19. Similarly, never attempt to give hand signals. Lagos drivers, unused to such courtesies, will think you are making obscene gestures to them. This could be very bad for you in Lagos. 20. Hazard lights (popularly called “double pointer”) is not, (as commonly supposed) used to indicate a hazard. It is a warning to you that he is a bonafide Lagos driver, he’s headed ’straight’ and as such, will not stop under any circumstance. Take him extremely seriously especially if he backs it up with a continuous blast from his “horn”. 21. At any given time, do not stand on the zebra crossing expecting traffic to yield to you, or else you will have to explain to the on coming traffic whether you look like a zebra. 22. Speed limits are arbitrary figures posted only to make you feel guilty. 23. Remember that the goal of every driver is to get there first by whatever means necessary. 24. In Lagos every spot is a potential bus stop. FRSC and LASTMA know that too. It is in their constitution. 25. Above all, keep moving. Even with a flat tyre!!! HORNING IN LAGOS Horn’ when someone executes a dangerous maneouvre. ‘Horn’ when you’re about to move off. ‘Horn’ when you’re about to overtake. ‘Horn’ when someone is about to overtake you. ‘Horn’ when turning into a road. ‘Horn’ when emerging from a road. ‘Horn’ back when someone horns at you. It’s considered good etiquette. ‘Horn’ when you hear a chorus of horns. Don’t worry if you don’t know what all the ‘horning’ is about. ‘Horn’ when you’re happy. ‘Horn’ to the beat when you’re playing music in your car. Good luck, as you expeditiously navigate through Lagos and hustle and bustle! 60 Likes |
