Are you sure that is true? The lady is not around to confirm or deny. He can fabricate all the lies he wants. He had a choice to leave and never got back there.

Maybe people are scared to assist because it involves drugs. Even if there's really no proof that he's one of them, his presence there will raise doubts in some people's minds. That's why we were always warned as kids to be wary of those we associate with.

God bless you for standing up for him. I pray that you get help very soon. May God keep him safe and secure all through. Victory is certain by God's grace.

@OP
Have you tried finding out about lawyers who take on cases pro bono in your area? There's also a Lagos State agency that assists the poor in legal matters. I can't immediately recall the name.

The Faculty of Law in Unilag and Students Affairs Dept should be able to advise and assist you on how to get help.

Even though I'm a born again Christian, this is just plain attention seeking by Fake pastor sule. Due to the constant criticisms of Freeze and other true Christians like me, they have all decided to spend a few of their tithe loots on IDP camps. Why is this idiot visiting IDP camp same day the fraudulent Oyedepo send people to IDP camp? You people can only deceive gullible Christians, not me

Anyone who is an ACTIVE member of a true Church knows that charity is a major call of the Church after salvation. There have always been Prison, Widows, Hospitals, Children and other ministries handling issues relevant to them. The issue is that the Church doesn't publicise most of these things in line with biblical teachings.

Freeze may have belonged to a Church where true Christianity is not being practised. It seems many people fall into that category.

Giving selflessly is essential for a true Christian.

Isn't Stella Oduah in the Senate? She knows better and should enlighten her colleagues if so. We were once told that it's one of the well refurbished airports. What could have gone wrong in less than 5 years? Maybe her colleague is not well informed.

Hmmm! We really need to work and pray against a Rwanda/Somalia/Libya situation!

Interesting! I don't know what to believe these days.

Good for MTN. Very exploitative organisation. Contracts staff work for 10-13 years of hard labour, even work more than the permanent staff, yet no conversion of status to permanent status.
A lot of injustice done to staff and contract staffs all in the name of no union allowed. They are now claiming they did not discourage staff from joining union, whereas they know that they have strict policies forbidding staff from joining or forming unions. Useless organisation. I worked there for years. At a particular time, MTN Nig.formed an outsourcing firm to take care of call center staffs welfare in MTN, all pensions and taxes were deducted from these staffs salaries, but were never remitted to the pension company. aside that, there were no medicals extended to staff family members. When the company was wound up, all the pension claims by these staffs were forfeited cos no union to fight for the staffs. On another occasion MTN contract staffs at the call centers were suddenly outsourced to an Indian slave driver firm called ISON BPO international who tells the staffs they would only pay N45,000 against N100,000 plus paid by MTN. The sad part is that MTN never intervened on this poor payment by their contractors forcing all the staffs to resign in their thousands. This is just few of the many injustices to staff. All these because u are not allowed to belong to unions as a staff. Stupid injustice!!!! That serves u well MTN.

Wow! That's unfair and sad. Just like bankers.

NLC should go and picket State and Local Govts that are owing staff salaries and allowances. They should also visit SMEs (especially Asian companies) where there have been complaints by staff. The NLC i used to know was visible and active on genuine staff welfare matters.

ahamonyeka:
this is pure lie mtn can and will never maltreat their workers or staffers my elder brother works with mtn in Lagos falomo he has never complained of I'll treatment they treat them very well compare to other Nigeria telecoms company. my brother didn't go to worker yesterday they were ask go home and work from home.even as at this morning when I was driving through falomo NLC were still tbere. protesting.


mtn is a place to work .

It seems it's more about NLC union dues. Once the workers form a union under NLC, MTN will be mandated to deduct a small percentage of their salaries for remittance to NLC.

vizkiz:
You will never see big churches doing this. Instead they will rather preach about tithes and giving to the men of God. Criminals!

God bless Williams for his kindness. I rather help people around me with my tithes than give one criminal spending his summer on an island in another country

Actually the Church quietly does a lot in that regard. I know because I'm involved in a Ministry that handles that. Some of the street children that were sponsored are graduates now. Some are still in school. It's a wonderful experience!

Lilimax:
So many wretched underaged boys on Nairaland lately Just look at how they're busy abusing someone's potential wife knowing fully well they may be on nairaland. Most of you need your heads examined? Better Stop and ask God mercy!

Quite embarrassing! Only an immatured mind thinks of physical beauty alone when it comes to marriage. So many other important things to consider....

HML to them. I'm happy for Olu and Joke Jacobs. God bless them both.

She may have been killed and made to look like suicide.

HOW YOURBA SACKED FULANIS IN OSHOGBO WAR


After the Fulanis systematically captured and made Ilorin their territory, they sacked the old Oyo Empire in 1835/1636. They were still not satisfied with their victory; they wished to extend their rule deep into the heart of Yoruba land. Thus in 1840, they set to capture Osogbo, a Yoruba town. The Fulanis, under the command of Ali, the Hausa balogun of Ilorin, laid siege on Osogbo. When the king of Osogbo realized that the Ilorins were too strong for the Osogbo army, he summoned the Ibadans for help. Ibadan immediately sent some auxiliaries to Osogbo under the command of Obele alias Mobitan, and Alade Abimpagun. As this force could not stop the Ilorins, another contingent was sent to Osogbo under a more experienced leader. But still the Ilorins won every battle and gained more ground.
When Ibadan realized that the Ilorins were becoming more threatening to Yoruba land, they sent a large and stronger force under Balogun Oderinlo to crush the intruding forces and Jammas of Ilorin. When Oderinlo and his men arrived at the battlefield, they realized that things had gone worse than they thought. They could not show their faces in the open field for the fear of the Ilorin horses, and for about 20 days after their arrival at Osogbo, they could not fight outside the town thickets. Oderinlo suggested that Elepo, a brave Ibadan warrior was badly needed at the war-front. Elepo had been rejected by the war-chiefs of Ibadan for his actions at the late Agbamaja expedition. As soon as the message from Oderinlo reached Ibadan, the Bashorun wished he could send Elepo to Osogbo but could not go against the wish of other war-chiefs. The Bashorun gave Elepo a cow to worship his god, Ori, and pray for the victory of Ibadan at the war-front.
At the war-front, the Ibadan could not attack the Ilorins during the day because Osogbo was practically in a plain and the Ilorin horses might have advantage of them with disastrous results. They decided to attack at dusk when the Ilorins would no longer be able to use their horses. About 2:pm, the well prepared Ibadan army left the gate of Osogbo for the battlefield. They were to keep a strict watch and arrest anyone suspected to be a spy. About a mile from the Ilorin camp, they halted and arranged the order of the attack. The Osogbo army and the earlier auxiliaries were to handle the center of the battlefield, chiefs Abitiko and Labuju were to command the right wing, Balogun Oderinlo with the rest of the Ibadan war-chiefs were to form the left wing of the army. The Ilorin camp was then attacked at midnight. The watchword was “Elo ni owo odo?” (How much is the ferry fare?). The reason this watchword was chosen was because the river Osun had to be crossed in entering Osogbo from the south, and anyone who could not tell this was likely to be an enemy.
Stampede engulfed the Ilorin camp as the Ibadan army set it on fire. The Ilorins could not offer the slightest resistance; they were smoked with the gunpowder of the Ibadan guns. This attack was a success for the Ibadan. Some Ilorin war-chiefs were captured in the attack. Prominent ones were:

Jimba the head slave of the Emir;
One of the sons of Ali the commander in chief;
Chief Lateju;
Ajikobo the Yoruba Balogun of Ilorin.

Why don't you create a different thread for this to avoid derailing this one?

Governor Ganduje of Kano offered them Falgore forest with a promise to put in place the facilities that are required to make the herdsmen and their cows comfortable. They don't seem to be interested in that. How much more Sambisa which is further away?

God will resolve this issue in a marvellous way. Amen

CANDYDADDY:





It really sad for a first born of someone to just die an untimely one.




my wife just lose a 4 month pregnant,i can't even get myself together

Sorry about that. Be strong for your wife. She'll need the support.

May God grant you and Dbanj double blessings.

If you cook with water leaf (gbure), you should make sure the egusi is dry before adding it. Water leaf brings out water on its own. Steam for a short while to retain the nutrients. It's a highly nutritious vegetable.

Hmmm! Still wondering. This is very scary if true. Those who know shouldn't keep silent because this could spell doom for our nation.

Weird suggestion! To wipe out some people for another group to settle? I don't get the logic.

So many people are terribly traumatised. We need to give depression and mental issues (not necessarily insanity as we tend to believe) more attention in our society. Some people require just little support emotionally, financially or morally to make them thrive. Let's focus more by showing love to those around us whichever way is possible.

Sometimes what we know still can't be prevented. Lessons for the future still.

May his soul rest in peace.

May God comfort the family.

Wow!

People are dying every day...Christians and Muslims from all tribes. Someone should take charge urgently. The country may gradually descend into a failed state if no meaningful steps are taken.

I hope it's not fake news. People shouldn't play pranks with this type of news.

May God save us from anarchy and deliver us from the silent war up North. Amen

Innoson EFCC arrest and the GTB Loan: The facts behind the saga, By James Osaremen

December 20, 2017James Osaremen



Dr. Innocent Ifediaso Chukwuma, Chairman of Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing (IVM) Innoson Group.

Recently, the Innoson/GTBank story has gained so much media prominence, especially following the arrest of the Innonson chairman a few days ago by EFCC. Though the case is pending in court, Innoson has taken the battle to social media. There have been numerous sponsored social media campaigns against the Bank such as #BewareOfGTBank and #WhatIsWrongWithGTBank. The company has also gone Television, with its owner, Dr Innocent Chukwuma granting an interview to TVC, where he claimed he had obtained a judgement of N8bn against the bank. He added that the bank pleaded with him over their inability to pay, and that he graciously offered to accept shares of the bank as payment.

GTBank on their part has chosen to remain silent on the matter, perhaps trusting in the integrity of the legal system as against playing to the gallery. Many attempts by us to get the bank’s representatives to comment on the story has proven abortive. A staff of the bank who spoke under anonymity, stated “Irrespective of the issues we are facing with the company, Innoson remains a customer of the bank and we owe him a duty of confidentiality and to conduct ourselves in a responsible manner towards him”. This statement didn’t stop us from conducting our own investigations on the matter, and below are our findings, put in bullet points for your optimum understanding.

The obvious:

Innoson is, and still remains, a customer of GTBank.

What we discovered:

1. GTBank (in 2009) granted Innoson several credit facilities (i.e loans) totalling N2,400,000,000,00 (two billion, four hundred million Naira only), to part finance working capital requirements, import new motorcycles and motorcycle spare parts, agricultural spare parts and plastic manufacturing equipment (“Imported Goods”).

2. Under the loan terms agreed by Dr. Innocent Chukwuma on behalf of Innoson, proprietary interest in the Imported Goods was consigned exclusively in favour of the Bank. This means that the Bank was the exclusive owner of the Imported Goods. Accordingly, the original shipping documents (i.e. the Bills of Lading) were in the custody of the Bank, and have remained in the custody of the Bank at all times.

3. Because GTBank was the exclusive owner of the imported goods, ownership of the goods could only be transferred to Innoson (or any other third party) by the Bank. The condition in the agreement between the Bank and Innoson, for the release of the Imported Goods by the Bank to Innoson, was the payment of 25% of the value of each Letter of Credit transaction by Innoson.

What we learnt:

1. Innocent Chukwuma approached the Bank, on behalf of Innoson, requesting the release of the shipping documents without payment of the agreed+ 25% equity. The Bank declined his request as a result of Innoson’s failure to meet the agreed conditions.

2. It came to the Bank’s knowledge sometime in June, 2011 that the Imported Goods for which the Bank declined to release shipping documents to Innoson in view of its failure to meet the agreed conditions, had been fraudulently procured by Innoson.

3. The Bank discovered that Innoson, under the control of Dr. Innocent Chukwuma had forged the Bank’s endorsement on the bills of lading to the Shipping Line and fraudulently cleared the Imported Goods which were in the name of the Bank. The Imported Goods, being property of the Bank should not have been cleared from the Port without the original shipping documents being endorsed by the Bank in favour of Innoson, or any third party.



4. The signatures of 4 (four) staff of the Bank, to wit, Taofeek Olalere, Dan Attah, Bunmi Adeyemi and Amazu Amalachukwu, as well as the Bank’s stamp were forged on all the shipping documents used by Innoson to fraudulently clear goods at the port. The Bank did not at any time endorse or transfer the shipping documents to Innoson, as the originals of each of the relevant Bill of Lading remain in the Bank’s custody to this very day.

5. When the Bank reported the matter to the Nigeria Police, Dr. Innocent Chukwuma claimed the Bank released the shipping documents to him. Consequently, the Police commenced investigation into the Bank’s complaint, including a forensic examination of the disputed signatures, and established that the signatures of the Bank’s staff were forged, and the Imported Goods were fraudulently cleared from the Nigerian Ports Authority by Dr. Innocent Chukwuma and his accomplices.

What we heard from the Police:

1. Police investigations confirmed that Innoson and Dr. Innocent Chukwuma deliberately set out to defraud, steal from the Bank and convert the Imported Goods belonging to the Bank by deceptive means and through forgery and misrepresentation. The unlawful takeover of the Imported Goods, which served as the Bank’s collateral, left an indebtedness in excess of the sum of N1,654,481,895.04 (one billion, six hundred and fifty four million, four hundred and eighty one thousand, eight hundred and ninety five Naira, four Kobo) as at September 26, 2012.

2. Chief Innocent Chukwuma was arrested and interrogated by operatives of the EFCC, following which he agreed to make monthly payments into Innoson’s account until the full liquidation of Innoson’s indebtedness to the Bank. However, Innoson defaulted in making the agreed payments. Investigations by the Nigeria Police following a petition by the Bank in September 2013 also found Innoson and Chief Innocent Chukwuma culpable of the criminal allegations levied against them by the Bank, and Chief Innocent Chukwuma was accordingly charged to court by the Police.

3. The Police filed Charge No. FHC/L/565C/2015-Inspector General Of Police And Innoson Nigeria Limited; Innocent Chukwuma;Charles Chukwuma;Maximian Chukwura; Mitsui Osk Lines; Annajekwu Sunny for fraudulent clearance of goods, forgery, conversion, stealing and conspiracy presently pending before Faji J, at the Federal High Court, Ikoyi and adjourned to November 21, 2017 for arraignment/or hearing of motion for issuance of Bench Warrant.

What Innoson did:

1. Innoson approached the Bank for a reconciliation of his account and pleaded for a debt forgiveness. A reconciliation was carried out on the account – which had a debit balance of N1,654,481,895.04 as at December 31, 2011. In the spirit of amicable resolution and EFCC intervention, the Bank said it agreed to forego the sum of N559,374,072.09 which represented default charges that has accrued on the account and debited in line with the loan agreement between the customer and the Bank.

2. Based on this, the Bank decided to accept from the customer, the sum of N1,095,107,822.95 as full and final payment of the customer’s indebtedness to the Bank, provided that same shall be fully paid not later than (30) days from the date of the letter written to him

3. Surprisingly, Innoson commenced suit no:FHC/AWK/CS/2012 against the Bank at the Federal High Court, Awka stating the bank had debited its account with excess charges totalling N559,374,072.09 and obtained judgement in excess of N4.7Billion against the Bank. Again choosing to dishonour an agreement that was amicable reached between him and the Bank for a full and final settlement of N1,095,107,822.95 wherein the Bank graciously forgave him the sum of N559,374,072.09 which accrued on his account during the period which he abandoned his account.

4. To further stall the criminal proceedings against him, Chief Innocent Chukwuma and his company instituted suits at the Federal High Court, Abuja, as well as the Federal High Court, Awka in January 2014 against The Inspector General of Police, The Nigeria Police Force and Investigating Officer(s), seeking declaratory and injunctive reliefs, including orders restraining the Police from commencing criminal proceedings against Innoson and Chief Innocent Chukwuma. Furthermore, in a bid to stall the Bank’s recovery steps, and distract the Bank from focusing on the criminal action, as well as civil actions filed for recovery of the debt, Chief Innocent Chukwuma and his company Innoson, have continued to institute various spurious suits before various courts, claiming frivolous and outrageous sums against the Bank.

What GTBank is not saying:

1. In responding to Innoson’s motion for a stay of criminal proceedings at the Court of Appeal, the Honourable Justice J.S Ikyegh on September 17,2017 dismissed the motion for being unmeritorious and ordered that proceeding in the criminal case against Innson should proceed.



2. On October 12, 2017, the Police through its Charge No. FHC/L/565C/2015- filed an application for the issuance of bench warrant against Innocent Chukwuma; Charles Chukwuma and Annajekwu Sunny for fraudulent clearance of goods, forgery, conversion, stealing and conspiracy presently pending before Faji J, at the Federal High Court, Ikoyi and adjourned to Decemeber 8, 2017 for arraignment/or hearing of motion.

What we think:

Innoson should stop trying to play the underdog and simply resolve his issues through legal means or arbitration. On Innoson playing the Igbo tribe card, this is not in good taste in this moment in history. We are aware of GTBank’s strong position on unpaid debts. We know GTBank has gone often several debtors of the bank irrespective of who they are or where they come from. So why is Innoson’s matter now tribal? Please, this makes no sense. Innoson and GTBank, resolve your issues privately and let us all hear word.

Merry Christmas my people

This is terrible if true! That means it's a case of fraud. Let's hope the courts get to resolve the issue soon.

Only ignorant people will support NASS fully on this issue. I think it's time to let the courts interprete the relevant sections of the constitution that deals with the budget process. The current uncoordinated and unfocused system will take us nowhere.

I don't blame them. We allow them to get away with anything. When we wake up from our slumber, we'll rise up to the challenge and fight for a better future.

@Op

Sometimes a woman is weighed down by other problems which may not have anything to do with you. Sometimes exhaustion is the problem... managing the home can be physically and mentally exhausting. All you want to do is lay down your head and SLEEP at day's end at such times.

Unlike a man who is aroused by sight, women's emotions are built up by a variety of factors. She must be in the right frame of mind to be aroused.

Don't complain, don't pile pressure on her. Recognise the fact that she probably needs some me time to herself which will help straighten out the issues on her mind. Take her out to a place you both like. See if you can lovingly encourage her to unburden her mind to you. Show that you love her no matter what. Let her be for a while.

Learn the art of self control. Avoid temptation- it could bring irreparable damage to your marital life. Remember that there may be unavoidable situations in life that make it difficult for you to be intimate regularly. Assume you're at that point and devote your time/occupy your mind with things that elevate the soul and glorify God. This shall pass and peace shall reign in your home. Amen

We used to be Nigerians...
"though tribe and tongue may differ, in brotherhood we stand.."
in the words of the former National Anthem.

This tribal cum religion matter everyday don tire me. CAN and MURIC should go and rest abeg. The reality is that there are militants and terrorists from all tribes/religion. They should avoid sentiments and allow the law to take it's course. There's room for appeal if any party isn't satisfied.

Now i see why the Catholic Church opted out of CAN.

@Op

Please let's know this diligent woman's name and how to contact her.

May God bless her and her children in a marvellous way. Amen
