Boko haram has come to stay

those who understand the trend of Islamic extremism will also tell you that shia militia is also underway with the arms import from turkey. Coupled with militancy and IPOB issue, it would seem the CIA prediction isn't a fluke.

And you cannot see that it is an example of the Voice of Esau and the Hand of Jacob? They predict, and then...........

See Vietnam, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Egypt, Libya and then you will understand the playbook

I disagree with all the lawless killings going on in my country Nigeria.

However; no matter where in the world, if you publicly identify and act in the leadership of a proscribed(outlawed) group, be assured of a heavy-handed response from the Government. See Sri Lanka vs LTTE, Syria vs ISIS and Spain vs Catalonia for recent examples of such responses.

Sadly,less lethal means of law enforcement are apparently not acceptable to NPF and her officers. This makes regular law enforcement situations a hazard for both officers and citizens.

Bafarawa is 200% Correct.

The same way APC came in on PDP's campaign for them is the same way they will vacate after campaigning for PDP

As for the incompetence, nepotism and basic inefficiency going on

Make Daura Security Services no come find me abeg

Diamondbank eeeh

NwaAmaikpe:



The hustle for green card did not start today.


I keep saying it,
Only a white girl with no pedigree or from an abusive family will stoop so low to marry a Nigerian.

Low self esteem resulting from decades of misrule is our issue as Nigerians.

Remember they married when people came to Naija for medical care, when N1=$1 etc etc

NSEMPA, more oil to our heads! It is indeed always a gathering of the most immeasurable value

mywells:
Every one in this forum are learners,most of you guys learn driving with Automatic car and few learn with manual car,which is the best way to way to learn how to drive,if you guys should have learn how to drive with manual this parking with hand break shouldn't have been a point of discussions,my advice is that you guys should go back to driving schools and get more knowledge into your tick skull have a nice day.

Manual in my opinion as you MUST master clutch control, unless you wan buy clutch tire

Also, you have more interaction with the vehicle as compared to auto.


To each their own

chucksbadt:
Hello guys, out of my curiosity, I'll like to ask;

For Automatic cars, it's impossible for the car to roll when the gear is on Park(P), still i observe some people engage their handbrake while the car is on P.

As for me, the only time i use my handbrake for Automatic cars is while I'm on traffic and i want to relax my foot, i prefer to use the Neutral(N) gear (because it's more closer to D for a quick start) when I'm on a hilly road to prevent the car from rolling

What do you guys think

@OP allowing the vehicle to rest on just the transmission is not the best.

Free rolling could happen and cause damage to the park gear teeth and locking pin/spall.

Not mechanically locking the wheels (handbrake) usually leads to future transmission problems.

Don't complain if the stock loses 20% next week.

Instead of complain, we pray for profits elsewhere and free cash to accumulate

Numbers look good, especially as the impact of the new fleet acquired for the Shell contract is yet to be felt revenue wise.

Hopefully key man issues will not mess up corporate governance and profit/cost distribution

Nigerian Missions Groan Over Non-Payment of Salaries, Allowances

By Victoria Ojeme

Nigerian missions across the globe are currently experiencing financial difficulties, as they are owing months of salary arrears.

The situation, which was traced to 2016 fiscal year when all Nigerian missions experienced budget shortfall and delay in payment of overhead and personal allocations, has resulted in a situation where a lot of them now also owe huge debts to service providers in their host countries.

Those affected include the permanent missions in New York, and Washington in the U.S; Caracas, Venezuela; Brasilia, Brazil; Luanda, Angola; Bucharest, Romania; Hanoi, South Vietnam; and the worst hit with nine months salary arrears is Havana, Cuba.

9 months salary arrears in Cuba

Unlike others, the situation in the Nigerian Embassy in Havana is particularly bad as both foreign service officers and local staff have not been paid their salaries for up to nine months.

This is in addition to debts owed service providers since the last quarter of 2016.

Part of the problem that affected the mission is the economic and financial blockade of Cuba by the United States, which frowned on prohibited fund transfer to Cuba, especially in US dollars.

Most embassies in Cuba receive their allocations in euros, Canadian dollars and pound sterling. Even at this, the US heavily fines banks found to have violated this policy.

But the Nigerian Embassy was able to, through the assistance of a bank in Cuba, find a way of receiving its allocations.

Problem is with CBN

However, the main problem laid with the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, which is in charge of remitting all Nigerian embassies' allocations.

For reasons best known to the bank, all the allocations were being sent through two correspondent banks, namely JP Morgan Chase and Deutsche Bank.

Unbelievably, 99.9 per cent of the allocations were being sent through JP Morgan Chase and only Cuba was given to Deutsche Bank.

The bank revolted against this and declined to send money to Cuba since the beginning of this year and CBN could not remit the funds through JP Morgan Chase because of the US policy in Cuba and no alternative was found by the bank.

However, through the efforts of the embassies in both Berlin and Cuba and the ministry, a dedicated account was opened in Berlin for the Nigerian Embassy in Cuba and when part of the fund was remitted, the bank confiscated the funds based on an order issued by a German court against the Nigerian Consulate in Frankfurt, Germany, which is owing a company for services provided.

The implication is that for eight to nine months, the Nigerian Embassy in Cuba has not been able to pay its staff.

The situation in the embassy is so pathetic that officers are now surviving on their savings and salaries back home in Nigeria.

Children of officials out of schools

Besides, children of officials of the embassy have been out of schools for three months due to their inability to pay fees.

The Cuba govt reported the embassy to the ministry through its ambassador in Abuja due to the mounting debts owed service providers.

Incidentally, because all services are provided by the Cuban government due to its communist system, non-payment of debts is affecting the government, since this is one of its main sources of income.

Officers and their families could not access medical facilities designated for diplomats and expatriates. Even the children of the new ambassador, Habu Ibrahim Gwani, were refused admission in the only international school in Havana.

Because of indebtedness, the school wrote to all other schools and advised them not to admit students from the Nigerian Embassy.

Come back now or you are on your own --Ministry

Despite these difficulties being faced by the entire staff, Vanguard gathered that Final Notice of recall was sent to officers who have completed their tour of duty in Havana.

In the letter dated October 26, 2017, the ministry insisted that returning officers must leave the embassy immediately and return to Nigeria, with threat of issuing them queries if they failed to do so.

A diplomat who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed the that the ministry had a penchant for such behaviour.

He said: "The ministry had been doing that for years, but it is wrong that an officer will be on course and he is not been paid for nine months, How does the ministry expect the officer to feed himself and his family and do other things?

"The ministry is right to ask the officer to come back but the ministry also has the obligation to pay them before they come back. Is the ministry going to pay them in dollars or naira when the expenditure was already in dollars?"

Issue being addressed --Ministry

However, both the Nigerian Ambassador to Havana and Head of Administration declined comment when Vanguard contacted them and referred our reporter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Reacting to the story, spokesperson, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Tope Elias-Fatile, said: "The issues involved are routine processes and the relevant department in the ministry is handling it.

"As we speak, there is an ongoing meeting to address these issues," he said.

CBN reacts

Explaining CBN's involvement in the whole scenario, spokesman of the bank, Mr. Isaac Okoroafor, said: "We do not react to hearsay. Please quote either the Foreign Affairs Minister or an identifiable official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This kind of question is strange to Vanguard I know."

When told that it was not a question but a report, he said: "Why not be specific on the report. A report must emanate from somebody or official document of an institution or department."

Your comments my fellow Nigerians.

For me, it is a sad but true diplomatic representation of our internal state of constant administrative and bureaucratic disorganisation

UBA closed on the N10 mark.

Psychological new support level?

Apparently it's a carryover from the old generation of the Hilux they use as a platform.

hmmm bros because of a few bad eggs ?? Greed is everywhere not only naija !!

You are right but this short list of just the 2000s should help you see my view.

Jimoh Ibrahim-Newswatch, Virgin Nigeria, Global Fleet etc
Rufus Giwa-Unilever
Bunmi Oni-Cadbury
Festus Odimegwu-NB(Even the Almighty are affected)
Cecilia Ibru-Oceanic Bank
Erastus Akingbola-Intercontinental Bank
Jim Nwobodo-Savannah Bank
Saraki Family-SGBN Plc

All are/were listed companies except Jimoh Ibrahim. And I am sure others I did not list occurred.

Oando's CCO just publicly declined SEC audit upon FIVE (5) years UNAUDITED accounts and admitted corporate governance infractions.

Biko, does Nigeria have RICO laws and class action suits? I think the management of Oando deserve this treatment from creditors and shareholders.

Haba

Agbalowomeri:
To give us more propaganda

Boason just stopped him cold with "Are you a going concern?"

Man's spent the last two minutes chewing mouth without answering the question.

Oando shareholders, on the basis of this interview I can say that raw cash flow is all that is keeping the barbarians (creditors) out of your company.
In a way I see why Ansbury and co acted, if the CFO CANNOT categorically declare his firm a going concern on national TV.

Like my Oga said before, Naija managers are extremely talented destroyers of capital. It is SAD.

Up NEXT, CCO/Company Secretary Ayo Jagun.

Will be interesting to see if Olawale comes to explain himself personally[/s]

Oando CFO is on Channels TV with Mr Omafaye right now. Tune in if you can
