This is the problem with the absence of a functional consumer protection system in Nigeria.
Everyone is at the mercy of everyone.

But I'd love to know,

Aside showing genuine empathy, do you honestly think GUO is/was under any obligation to ensure the release of their kidnapped passengers?
Because I do not.
I may be wrong but I am open to Lalas. ticlala and other elders putting me right.

They are a transport company for fvck's sake and not an Elite Marine squad.
I doubt they even have an insurance policy on travellers or that any contractual agreement exists with passengers wherein they undertake to an unfailing delivery to destination.

The good thing here is that you got your relative back alive, but I'd say you spent too much energy on the transport company and it is sad that they treated you as petty scum and that is probably how they saw you considering you channeled none of such energy on the security agents and kidnappers in whose hands your relative's release solely lay in.

The wise ones here are your other relatives who saw the bigger picture and sought their salvation away from the tranpsort company.

The social media thing has given us a misguided spirit of aluta that solely hinges on blackmail.

Sit down and think again,
Do you know that if it was only you that your relative had, he'd probably be dead now while you'd have only succeeded in a viral smear campaign.

Next time life is involved, please use your head.

While at it, grow some conscience too.
To think you expect a transport company to dole out 1million as ransom for a passenger who probably paid less than 5k.

Ask yourself if you'd do the same if you owned GUO.

..........you sincerely spoke my mind here ..., while we bless God for safely delivering the captives ..it is important to point out the fact that .the op needlessly dwelt so much on what he did at GUO office when you should be more concerned about getting your relation out of the kidnappers den by liasing directly with security agencues or better still trying wats of interphasing with the kidnappers on ransome discussions ...


If you look at the travel ticket of these transport companies you will see that they literally bear no liability in cases like this ....

But it's well ...God protect His own

DISCLAIMER : I am not an APC supporter, I do not work for government in any capacity, nor am I a pro Buhari man, and have never in my life voted for PDP(except once in a Local government election, because there was no better alternative then)...or APC or its precursor parties...

Having got that out of the way...

1.In April 2014...oil prices fell....and kept on falling till in 2016, oil was at $30 per barrel, down from $75 per barrel in 2015...which was down from $120 in Jan 2014....

2.As things stand now, oil is at $60 per barrel.

3,Because of the drop in oil revenues, in order to keep our heads above water....WE HAVE HAD TO BORROW.

4.Also, as has been stated elsewhere...we need oil to be at least $100 per barrel before we can have a good economy( that is why in 2011-14, we had a good economy because oil was above $90 during those times).

5.As long as oil is below $100 per barrel, we would have to borrow. We have no choice.

6.If you want government to stop borrowing...good. I think so too. But that means that in return, salaries would not be paid at all, taxes would be at rates of 50-60% on everyone, including people earning below N50000monthly who are excluded from taxation,and our country would be broke. We would also have to remove subsides on everything..which means fuel would cost N300 and above per liter because now we cannot afford subsides.

7.Ultimately, borrowing has to continue....and EVEN if oil gets up to the ideal of $139 per barrel....which is where we need it not to borrow...we still have to pay off debts accruring previously.


We were here before , from 1982-1991, and again from 1992-2003.

The only way forward is simple....Nigeria must industrialse. Yes, it sounds fanciful, but we must take the hard road to industrialization. There is no ther way, and sadly APC nor PDP have the ideas we need.

We must also cut every subsidy in the fuel and power sector...so that we can save money and attract investors who will build our power and petrol sectors to the point where we can fuel our industrial development.

Nigeria must get off oil.

Now.

.........first I am also not a party member either APC or PDP ...am good governance advocate. Having said that, I totally beg to disagree with your perpetual borrowing solution to Nigerian problems.

This government lacks leadership, they lack basic unified coordination of various strata of the economy , and again their quest for lies, propaganda, bigotry , lawlessness and finger pointing will not allow them look inwards , take responsibility and engage thorough bread professionals into their economic management team.

Again , their quest to continue looting and keep pointing fingers at other people will also not allow them to do what is right.

Their rude disregard and manipulation of the judiciary, illegal utilization of the arms and law enforcement have greatly frustrated investors confidence on our system hence increased capital flight as foreign investors run to other countries.

Again endemic and ruthless corruption, for instance what has oil price got to do with the government sharing of 322m dollars of repatriated abacha loot on one hand and then borrowing 360m dollars on the other in a very short period .

That's corruption and inept leadership problem..not drop in oil prices ...Atikus write up to me is spot on

Abcdefghij10000:
Actually borrowing helps to ease the government from using public funds in which the public funds can b used for a more short time workable project. Let me englighten you lets say the government wants to build a capital intensive project of 1b$ like a light rail which the construction would take probably 4 years.Dont you think it would be at a disservice to the nation if almost half of the budget is used for this purpose while leaving some more pressing aspects of development like education and co. So borrowing would actually give the government another source of capital which would be used for the project while the budget can be allocated for other things

.........actually am shocked that you could mister this kind of response after reading this analysis and seeing with your eyes what is presently happening in the country....I think partisanship should have a limit .

This guy is spiritually insensitive and ignorant ....you said the pastor of the girl who ultimately doubkes as her spiritual father doesn't need to know that both of you are dating ? Really , and even if that is the case must you add salt to the injury by lashing thus type of cocky and disrespectful statement in public after the incident ?

Actually is the girl in question that caused all this, if she is truely a dedicated sister that understands the role of her pastor and spiritual father in her life , she would have informed her pastor of their relationship much earlier.

And the young man too , if he is tryely wuae would have notified the pastor of his plan to propose during the service and see 8f he will not be permitted .

This is the problem with our youths these days , no tact , insensitive, unwilling to learn and always in a hurry and then we add huge arrogance to it .

Tomorrow when this man that is this disrespectful starts beating this girl now, she will now run to the same pastor for counselling but you ignored him when it started.

Wisdom is key

My dear I want to believe this story is real . If it is, here us my advice :

A man that threatened to beat you up , calls you name A, insults your siblings , has very chronic true issues etc ..and shows it this much even before marriage ..

PLEASE RUN AWAY NOW ! In fact you ought to have done that yesterday.....

And to the issue of love ? He doesn't love you , he is only obsessed with you and obsession it's a dangerous state of mind.

PLEASE FLEE NOW .

...we all can see why this country is where it is...the youths are occupied with docile topics...no interest in technology , manufacturing, innovations , leadership ...just fun and other irrelevant fables...

Jordan97:
What I don't understand his how people blindly voted for this man(buhari) in 2019.. Nigerians can be dumb.. Honestly..

.....I doubt if people voted that much for him ...I think INEC, and the rest made him president.

Atouke:
AirPeace is not charged in any crime, but the chairman and CFO of AirPeace are charged with criminal offense in the USA.
With the charged individuals separated from the company to go face their criminal charges the airline can continue its operations devoid of the fruad case.

.....Ok fair enough then

Atouke:
Do you have any idea how long criminal trials can last in the US courts? Especially if it involves people with deep pockets like mr Onyema who can afford the best legal representation?

What do you think will happen to Air peace operations with frozen US banking accounts? While the trial last.

For instance if the trial last 2 years and he ends up being found innocent and his airline does not survive what will he gain.

Your point is noted, but I have a question . I am not a lawyer , but dies his resignation mean that Air peace accounts will be operational during the trials ?

Atouke:
What do you guys think? Should the indicted individual resign?

.......indicted but not convicted.....I feel he should wait and see the trial through before taking such decision

solmusdesigns:
why not quote the illegalities commited, and last time i checked each US president has a loby group and sponsor even clinton was a God father for obama same as UK prime ministers, most even attend same high school... so tell us mr knowest what Oshiomole did wrong to violate the law and how i am celebrating illegality

................I will respond further when you show us a prove that Clinton was a Godfather to Obama as well as Cameron being a Godfather to theresa may or present UK prime ministers! Also , when you show me the wrongs obaseki has done to Edo people that made oshomole so vindictive ...only when I see these proofs ..otherwise let's stop celebrating illegality and Draconian leadership styles.

If there's any party chairman that any youth should celebrate, it is not oshomole! A man that has presided over some of the most bloody and violent election process under APC ...please let's be move forward abeg

solmusdesigns:



but truly no matter how lousy oshiomole is, he isnt obaseki's mate... haba!! oshiomole from the NLC days paid his dues. he has the contacts and connects plus he is fearless having being jailed several times and even lost his wife to cancer

If not for Oshiomole's rugedity , Edo would still be in the hands of the Igbenedio.s

..

........is comments like this that has brought this country to its knees ...celebration of illegality and vindictive godfatherism ...so because he has paid his so called dues Edo state should become his private property ...SMH

.....still searching..less than a million is also ok . Thanks

I think the aim of the organizers is to export and promote African music to the world.

......I beg to disagree ...the world is now a global village ..internet and cable tv makes that possible...we can host the festival in Africa and showcase it to the world....it's just our inferioritycomplex as Africans that makes them take a full fledged African show to UAE.

.......Africa and inferiority complex ...for goodness sakes, why is The OneafricamusicFest 2019 holding in Dubai?

Is UAE now an African country ? They should also go to California to host it ....imaging the foreign exchange that will accrue to that country by virtue of all these people visiting the country for this purpose..

If it's hosted in African, it will boost the economy here...not sure who did this to us Africans!

.......the level and height of stupidity amongst Nigerian youths is unimaginable...that's why the old 80 to 90 years crop of politicians are still leading us today..

The things that dominate their cyberspace is just emptiness , more emptiness by the day....

Celebrating tacha for doing what exactly ? Being a rude , disrespectful and grumpy lady on national TV? that's why she is a celebrity ? What exactly is the moral of this show of shame precisely ?

Just unfortunate

........All this gibberish about air peace all of a sudden ...just because the main was hailed for saving his country men from international embarrassment ..now some goons are not happy and they are trying so hard go paint the company had.....and as usual the most gullible youths in the world ( the Nigerian youths ) have already joined the crucify him band wagon ....stupidity is in fact a vice !

....I actually do not know who the the alabi is hence I can't draw conclusions on his premise for this collosssal gaffe ! ....really ? A presidential appointee more powerful than the peoples appoijtee ? a vice president that was voted into power by the people , recognized by the condtitutiom as the deputy presidebg is suddenly less powerful than the chief of staff ? Dies he even know that President buhari cannot sack the vice president, the vice president can only be impeached.....but he can sack the chief of staff with a wave of a hand ....alot of half baked celebrities in this country and its shameful !

Favoured by who? Is it based on their manifestos which they don't seem to have , or based on their general acceptance by the populace? What viable statistucs makes them favourable? Or is it based or their antecedents as per promises fulfilled ? You guys are just funny ....

Hmmm.

The more you try to understand this biafuro concept, the more stupid it appears.

I know for sure our blodas from that side will now cheer Aisha Yusuf up and admit her as a member of their biafuro.

The other time, I understand some people from southern kaduna were also members of this biafuro. Even Elzakzaki is now a full fledged member and indeed a leader, FFK, Fayose, Atiku, just name them.

From the foregoing, it appears once you are against buhari, you are a biafuran. Na wetin me I understand be dis sha.

............No once you are against bad leadership , highest level of ethnic bigotry , cluelessness in government..then you are a bisfran!....This nation has never had it this bad ....the worst government by far . They make the military regimes look good . Its troubling

....I actually think otherwise...I feel the guy is being mischievous , he only showed the ladies reaction, how about we knowing why the lady is reacting that way .

He obviously did something so bad that the lady had to throw caution into the winds ....she is obviously very angry and people don't just get that angry.

We need to know the two sides of the story.

LegacyB:
As much as i believe Mrs dakolo’s story has its own demerits i still find it unbelievable that some people can even support this guy.Rapists should be make to suffer the consequences of their actions.This guy can deceive many not me.

...........
And what proove do you have that he us a rapist ? ...and for op, granted "bail" ? , really? ..was he ever arrested or detained? ..you guys are just unbelievable.

And most comments here already believe this skewed journalism without any iota of investigation or inquest.

Nigerians are really annoyingly gullible , most especially the youths . It's just pathetic .

I will make it as short as possible. I’ve been dating this girl for some months now. She came to my house last week Sunday, we kept gisting and all that. At a time I went inside to get a drink for us (Baileys). I poured in two glass cups, dropped the bottle inside, came to the parlour and gave her a glass. That’s when the problem started.

Like play like play this girl insisted I taste from the drink I poured her before drinking. I laughed about it and waved it off, we kept talking. After sometime I noticed she hadn’t touched her drink. I asked her why she’s not drinking, she rather kept insisting that I must taste from her drink before she would drink, probably because she wasn’t there when I poured in the drinks. This is someone I call my girlfriend o. At this point I got infuriated. The more I urged her to drink the more she kept seriously refusing.

You need to see how this girl always frantically and suspiciously searches for her pant with all seriousness whenever we finish lovemaking only to find it at some place she kept it.

I kicked her out of my house. I can’t be with such suspicious human being

.......
...
.....your lack of maturity speaks volumes ...first if all I blame some women that have zero respect and value for the dignity of woman hood for this your reality ...because if she did not carry herself to your house in the name of "sex mate " or forgive my vulgarity..."girl friend " you will not have the audacity to say you "kicked her out "

A woman you are first of all sleeping with for free and the foolish girl is also possibly washing your clothes and cleaning up after you ...even when you have not paid a dine for her pride price not to talk of visiting her family .....both of you deserve to be schooled on the basic principles and essence of human existence....you all should grow up....eternity beckons!

....sold ...thanks guys
