| Politics › Vote-buying Most Prevalent In South-south, Among Educated Nigerians by deji17(op): 7:12pm On Dec 25, 2019 |
2019: Vote-buying most prevalent in South-south, among educated Nigerians December 25, 2019 Kunle Sanni The South-south region of Nigeria had the highest prevalence of vote-buying during the 2019 national elections, according to a new report, which also showed people with formal education were more involved in the problem. The report, based on a nationwide survey conducted by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and Nigerian Bureau of Statistics (NBS) also shows that South-south has a more negative perception of the country’s elections than the other five regions. The region consists of six oil-abundant Niger Delta states of Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Edo and Rivers. The report, titled “Corruption in Nigeria: Patterns and Trends,” defines ”prevalence of vote-buying” as “the share of adult Nigerians that were personally offered money or favour in exchange for their votes.” On the other hand, ”perception of vote-buying” is defined as “the awareness and belief of adult Nigerians on electoral fraud.” The report covered 33,067 respondents across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, who took part in the survey. The South-south had 24 per cent vote-buying prevalence, while on the national scale, 21 per cent of the respondents reported that they were personally offered money or non-monetary favour in exchange for their votes in the last elections. About 17 per cent of the survey respondents nationally were personally offered money, while four per cent were offered favour in exchange for their votes. PREMIUM TIMES had earlier reported UNODC findings that Nigerians who had encounters with public officers paid an estimated N675 billion cash as bribes in 2019. Vote-buying across the regions According to the report, the south-south had the highest prevalence of vote-buying, with 24 per cent of the adults in the region reporting they were offered bribes in exchange for the votes and 76 per cent having the perception that vote-buying occurred during the 2019 elections. The region also recorded fatalities as the elections in Rivers State, a key Niger Delta State, were fraught with extreme violence involving the country’s military and armed supporters of politicians. The North-east region, which faces a humongous humanitarian disaster due to the long-running Boko Haram terrorism, had the lowest prevalence and perception of vote-buying at 18 per cent and 52 per cent respectively. While the South-east and the South-west regions had an equal ratio on the prevalence of vote-buying at 19 per cent each, they, respectively, had 73 per cent and 71 per cent on the perception that vote-buying occurred during the polls. The North-west zone had 23 per cent prevalence, just slightly less than the South-south’s rate. Only 53 per cent of the respondents in the region, which has the largest population and the highest number of states, at seven, in Nigeria, believed vote-buying occurred. In the North-central, 21 of the respondents reported they were offered a bribe to vote and 64 per cent perceived vote-buying affected the elections. Vote Buying in Schools The report also showed Nigerians with formal education were more involved in vote-buying than those not enrolled in formal schooling. The latter encountered the least incidence of vote-buying at 19.4 per cent, while students at the secondary level recorded the highest prevalence at 22.7 per cent. Vote buying infographic While students at post-secondary and non-tertiary education (admission seekers) recorded the second-highest in terms of the prevalence of vote-buying at 20.7 per cent. Those people with either a primary or secondary education reported slightly higher levels 22 -23 per cent. Vote-buying involving labour classes According to the report, 23.4 per cent of the surveyed employers with dependent employees reported they were offered bribes to vote. 23 per cent of the self-employed also did. Private-sector employees, the unemployed, and apprentices also reported being offered bribes to vote at 22.0 per cent, 20.9 per cent, and 19.1 per cent rates respectively. The retired people ranked the least involved in vote-buying at 13.5 per cent. Vote-buying is a practice of inducing voters to make them vote for a particular candidate during an election. The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) conducted the presidential and National Assembly elections on February 23, while governorship and state assembly elections were held on March 9. Supplementary elections in five states were also held in March. According to observers and PREMIUM TIMES’ reports, the last general elections were marred by vote-buying and intimidation of voters, among other irregularities. The Nigeria Civil Society Situation Room in its 2019 election report in July said an estimated 626 persons were killed across Nigeria in the six months between the start of the election campaign and the commencement of the general and supplementary elections. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/369829-2019-vote-buying-most-prevalent-in-south-south-among-educated-nigerians.html

| Politics › Re: How Nigeria Sunk Into A Hole By Gen TY Danjuma by deji17(op): 3:08pm On Dec 21, 2019 |
Why Gen TY Danjuma has not been sleeping well lately: The $9bn P&ID scam: Between TY Danjuma and our government lawyers So as far as the P&ID deal is concerned the following are the questions we must ask ourselves: Given that the company did not as much as lay a foundation anywhere in Nigeria for where they will receive the wet gas upon which it is suing Nigeria, was the project not just a scam right from the beginning? Can General Danjuma show the Nigerian authorities how and where he spent $40million for pre-project expenses as claimed by Brendan Cahill? If General Danjuma spent that huge sum – which is twice over the limit for any oil and gas contract that needs to be seen, discussed and approved by the FEC – and he forgave Quinn for the betrayal, why is Cahill and co suing Nigeria over an amount spent by Danjuma? Did P&ID fulfil any part of their end of the transaction and is that company approaching equity with unclean hands? Given the magnitude of the transaction – upon with TY Danjuma alleged claimed he spent $40million for preliminary expenses – when was this deal discussed at the Federal Executive Council meeting? If the deal was not discussed at the FEC meeting given that when it was initiated, President Yar’Adua was already on his deathbed, is there any possibility that forgeries were involved? It is also noteworthy that Rilwan Lukman, a very competent and experience professional who was Petroleum Minister then, is dead. The trails are blurring. The duo of Lukman and Yar’Adua are central to the eventual push of the controversial Petroleum Industry Bill to the Senate; a bill that some conglomerates swore will never see the light of day and which is still in a quagmire since 2007, 12 years on. Any connection with this crazy litigation? On what basis did Chief Bayo Ojo (SAN) – a former Attorney General of the Federal Republic – propose a settlement of $250million for this deal that looks from a mile away like it doesn’t have any legs under the law, when he was the Nigerian representative in an arbitration made up of 3 people? On what basis did other lawyers from the government end finalize at $850million until this government finally rejected the whole arrangement and headed back to court where we were now slammed with an obligation of $6bn – a figure that has added $3billion as interest and accretes $1m in interest every waking day? Is the involvement of our own lawyers towing the path of alleged fraudulent legal deals which reap off Nigeria (and similar countries) and pays out for lawyers and other big men in our society? Could it be that the involvement of our lawyers – and their apparent neglect to push the angle of the legality or otherwise of this contract – added an undeserved legal imprimatur to this whole transaction and should this not be the very basis of Nigeria’s argument going forward? I mean, did we admit liability by even sending legal reps? How did TY Danjuma hope that between himself and his ex-auto mechanic turned gas consultant, Mick Quinn, would have carried out such a massive, technical transaction in the first place, because from afar, given the characters involved and the magnitude of the project, it doesn’t seem like there is any real attempt to execute the project. What seems more likely is that this is one deal where – like in a chess game – Nigeria was programmed into a tight corner from which we will have to pay serious money to get out. This all looks like a major scam. https://www.thecable.ng/the-9bn-pid-scam-between-ty-danjuma-and-our-government-lawyers |

Billionaire General Bets on Property With Fortune Forged in Oil By Benjamin Stupples 2019. The Kings Arms Hotel is a 300-year-old inn next to London’s Hampton Court Palace, once the home of Henry VIII. It’s poised to open soon after refurbishment, with rooms costing about 250 pounds ($318) a night. Guests can dine on traditional fare in the Six restaurant, a reference to the monarch’s many wives, or grab a pint on the terrace. In this most English of settings, it’s fitting the owner is a retired military man still referred to as “General.” But for Theophilus Danjuma, this is just one investment in a network of assets that span at least three continents. The 80-year-old Nigerian is worth $1.2 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, with his family office managing a portion of that wealth, often through low-key holdings such as the 14-room hotel. “We never tend to look at trophy assets,” said daughter Hannatu Gentles, the second of Danjuma’s five children and chief operating officer of his London-based family office. “We’re not going to head to Mayfair to buy a 15 million-pound apartment primarily because we are a yield business.” In 2006, his South Atlantic Petroleum Ltd. sold almost half its contractor rights for a section off Nigeria’s coast to a state-backed Chinese firm for $1.8 billion. Danjuma was awarded the block in 1998 by the regime of former dictator and fellow army officer Sani Abacha, making him one of a handful of Nigerians made extraordinarily wealthy from the country’s energy reserves. “Basically, these people got winning lottery tickets," said Antony Goldman, founder of West Africa-focused ProMedia Consulting. “At the time, you had a government desperate for credibility that was isolated internationally.” Danjuma was “someone who’s not really a politician, who is respected in business and in the army.” Danjuma was born in 1938, the year Royal Dutch Shell received its first oil exploration license for the country and more than two decades before it gained independence from Britain. He dropped out of college in 1960 to join the army, according to “Nigerian Politics in the Age of Yar’Adua” by Bayode Ogunmupe. He gained prominence after participating in the 1966 counter-coup against Nigeria’s first military dictator. A decade later, he was stepping out of a Rolls-Royce in central London to meet British military officials in his role as chief of staff for Nigeria’s army. He left the military in 1979 and founded his oil firm and a shipping company, NAL-Comet, which now has more than 2,000 employees in Nigeria. Danjuma paid $25 million in 1998 for the oil field exploration license that made him a billionaire. A year later, he became Nigeria’s defense minister as the country returned to democracy. He originally teamed up with Total SA and Brazil’s Petroleo Brasileiro SA on the block. The minority stake that Danjuma’s company now owns is worth $450 million, according to Bloomberg’s wealth index. While Mayfair is the hub of London’s family offices, the Danjumas chose the city’s southwest suburbs to set up their investment firm a decade ago. They’ve since invested in property in that area, including the 2.5 million-pound purchase in 2010 of the building where their office is now based, according to filings. Beyond the U.K., they own real estate in California and have bought and sold property in Singapore. Their family office also oversees private equity investments, trust funds and a venture capital arm that backs family-run art and film companies. The Danjumas own more than 30 properties worldwide, filings show. “We invest in real estate in other jurisdictions, but in the U.K. we always thought let’s stick to areas that we know,” Gentles said. Her father bought a residence in Singapore years ago, “and it made sense then to buy some more,” she said, adding they’ve since sold the properties because of tax law changes. In addition to the Kings Arms Hotel, the Danjumas have developed residential properties this year in Esher and Wimbledon. They also own a boutique hotel in Lagos, serving beef carpaccio and lobster bisque in one of three dining areas and displaying works from the family’s art firm. Nigeria’s leaders have often faced public ire -- with good reason at times. Yet Danjuma was able to avoid much of that wrath because of his role shepherding the nation toward democracy, according to Pallavi Roy, a lecturer at London’s School of Oriental & African Studies. Danjuma also pledged to give away $100 million through his foundation, with recent donations aimed at improving vision care, literacy rates and rural farming. ‘High Regard’ “It might seem contradictory given the extent of his wealth, but he is quite well respected and almost looked upon as an elder in political circles,” said Roy, co-research director of the SOAS-led Anti-Corruption Evidence initiative. “The military held him in such high regard that he was able to help manage Nigeria’s transition from military rule to democracy.” Owning a hotel in Nigeria led the family to look for a similar deal in the U.K. Two years ago, they paid 2.4 million pounds for the Kings Arms. Redevelopment work was expected to end in March, filings show, but the inn’s age and protected status resulted in higher costs and delays. “This is the first, and will possibly be the last, listed building we’ve worked on,” Gentles said. “It’s taken longer than we wanted, but our name is attached to the building and we want to be proud of our work. It’s been a hard slog.” — With assistance by Elisha Bala-Gbogbo, Anthony Osae-Brown, Karl Maier, Paul Wallace, and Devon Pendleton https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-06-26/his-fortune-forged-in-oil-a-billionaire-general-turns-to-london
