PoliticsRe: Lautech Again: Lautech Officers Sue Ajimobi, Aregbesola by DisGuy: 12:55pm On Aug 11, 2011
While appealing the ruling, the principal officers argued that the trial judge, Justice Kuewumi erred in law by granting the orders of interlocutory injunction against them despite the [b]non-service of the originating processes and the Motion on Notice for interlocutory injunction [/b]against them.

The particulars of error in law filed on behalf of the appellants by their counsel, Mr. Roland Otaru (SAN) said, “the learned trial judge erred in law in granting an order of interlocutory injunction against the appellant (the university), thereby denying the appellants the right to fair hearing under Section 36(1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended).”
*scratch head* nigerian law is just funny, how can you accuse a judge of erring, the laws are always confusing, and the way lawyers get injuctions unpon injuctions, too much oyinbo and delay tactics

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=733082.msg8899695#msg8899695 date=1313055790]I've been following Nigerian political issues actively for about a year or so now, but have never heard anything good come from this LAUTECH.

Crisis, chaos, discord.

Can they just split the university into two pieces? Whose bright idea was[b] it to have a university owned by two different states?[/b]

Bleh, this is just annoying[/quote]I think it use to be just one state until it was divided, not sure but really under normal circumstance this shouldn't be a problem only in Nigeria Where lecturers/academics are Full Time Politicians and Contractors, rarely will you see a university without some politics going on

They should just privatise the uni!!!!

[quote author=edo.girl link=topic=732196.msg8896062#msg8896062 date=1312999161]It's possible GEJ will use the machinery of state to help Mimiko (he delivered his state for GEJ in the presidential elections), but if you re suggesting the PDP as a party on the ground, how about this - the PDP is DEAD in Ondo State, patapata. They have zero on the ground now.


People need to understand that in many parts of the SW/Edo, there's a genuine dislike of the PDP. Not that everyone believe ACN will deliver them, but they just dont want PDP at all cost.[/quote]I meant Mimiko and his motley crew moving to the PDP whilst still in Office giving some of them leadership posts in the National Assembly to 'appease' the yoruba, might be suicidal though

or they form a collabo pdp wont field any candidate in the next election so Labour has more votes then defect afterwards

Not a good performance from Nigeria - Musa plays for himself - he's looking for a new contract - he should have been subbed on 50 minutes.  To much play goes thru him.  he needs to learn to play with the team and not do so much -
Why do you think that is? perhaps because they are confident with him with the ball, he's not just there to distribute but try his chances as well
I personally think after 50mins he should be swapped to his strongest side, the right=he has as much assist as any other player in the team

Mmiko is using his position very well. eating from both sides

The PDP can use Ondo as their launch pad for the SW so they have to be sweet with him

and

He can also use his location in the SW to fend of the ACN so they wont see him as a threat/competition

[quote author=edo.girl link=topic=732196.msg8895754#msg8895754 date=1312995946]Also, there's been some kind of media war (via propaganda adverts) going on in the airwaves for about 6 weeks now, particularly on this same Adaba.

Here's a summary of ACN's advert - Starts with: Eyin Omo Oodua, dua, dua (echo) Then something along the lines of - eminent Oodua indegines came together to form their own party (egbe tiwan tiwa) so we could all defend our people & values against insatiable vultures grin (my own interpretation). It ends along the lines of e ma ma je won ko wa lo ko eru (don't let them enslave us) grin grin

Here's the Labour version - [b]Eying Omo ipinle Ondo, do, do (echo again grin) Beware of people whose only interest is to get their hands on our resources. Eranti pe awa la ni ohun ribibi ju ni ile Yoruba (Remember Ondo State is blessed with the most natural resources in Yorubaland. Eranti ti pe awa lan ni Koko ju ni orile de naijiria (Also rememeber we are the largest producer of Cocoa in Nigeria) Sugbon ni ojo eyinwa nigba ti won fe ko Koko House, sebi Ibadan ni won ko si (However, when they wanted to build Cocoa House, they built it in Ibadan, rather than in our state.[/b]

Both adverts run on Adaba virtually every 30mins within a few mins interval of each other and this has been going on for several weeks. Both parties must be spending a fortune on these things, and the election is still more than a yr away.

Mimiko has been spending a lot of money, like the ACN, on Adaba, and sending his henchmen to attack and respond to the alledged attacks from the ACN. I'm not sure why he's complaining now.

On a pan-Yoruba level, it is interesting to see labour trying to use a 'them' and 'us' approach to awaken the indegines' fear about being dominated by Lagos, Ogun, and to a lesser extent Oyo with the risk that their resources (oil, bitumen, Cocoa will be used to develop these other states.

All said, Mimiko appears to be doing well in the state. ACN should see Labour as a sister party & they should be collaborating . ACN does not need to win Ondo state by all means.[/quote]LOL

Sister party or not, they are ambitious, they will atleast want some seats or senatorial slots

[quote author=ekt_bear link=topic=732196.msg8894718#msg8894718 date=1312987999]I don't see why Ondo needs to become ACN. Mimiko is performing, from what I'm told by folks who live there. If this is true, then for wh[b]at reason should he go?[/b]

As others have stated though, Mimiko needs to understand that shutting down the voice of the opposition is anti-democratic.[/quote]it's a competition

hbrednic:
false news
exactly what im thinking, they are trying to look busy!!

Reference:
Double folly. First of all by the scammers. You can imagine the damage this will do in the attempts to attract FDI's into the country and the power sector in particular. I can just imagine some dark knights in government and PHCN vermin rubbing their hands in glee. This is very sad. And this is why I say without any contradiction that the real possibility of our development and the pace at which it will happen is ultimately in the hands of all Nigerians and not just those in government. For goodness sake why do we have to keep shooting ourselves in the foot.

Secondly like it happened a few weeks ago with the Custom Service and months ago with the police why did the EFCC not choose to plan a sting. The real possibility of catching not just the front man but possibly the entire chain of perps including their government backers was real. Why this ineptitude. Was someone going to get killed. What was the emergency to publish this. Why the haste. Now chances are that they may never get their man thoughtless of breaking the chain of command that must obviously run through the Power Ministry. This is not very good. They'd better get it right next time.
You noticed also!! They just make up stories in my opinion!! I mean we hear the customs saying on national news station they are 'waiting for the importers, they have impounded the goods' lol #Why don't they ever wait and trace the owners to the warehouse or distributors?

I am a staff in one of the affected banks and this is my point.

The CBN intervention is a good initiative but I have a serious doubt with its implementation.
I will hold the apex bank for planning this betrayal chess game since 2009 to take over some of these banks with this reason; Why would the CBN avoid appointing a business minded MD instead of auditors? This is a clear indication that the CBN head does not want the banks to seal concrete deals on recapitalization. Business minds are purely and solely different from auditors mind.

I still ask, why would he take this step before sept 30 as his deadline. Though I understand some shareholder where planning some shady deals by monday.

I also ask why would he do this before the resumption of Okojo Iwuala?

Secondly, Islamic banking invisible managers cannot penetrate Nigerian market without competing favourably on the same platform as other perceived healthy banks if not through acquiring existing banks and maintain their customer base and assets.

However, one of the top economy driver in this country in the person of Dangote as an islamic man will simply key into this non-interest bank. No hausa business man would want COT charges and other interest bearing charges as its against their religion.

Nevertheless, Islamic banking has been proven to be an economy growing tool but has a major flaw as a means of funding terrorism because of their huge wealth base. Nigeria is a lawless country where cash are moved around without questions.

Al quada has stated that Nigeria will be one of their base and with this banking reforms its clearer now on how their operations will be.

Finally, I implore us all to understand and stand for the TRUTH else we will be wiped and deprived of our natural resources soon to be sold out to the asians as Nigeria and africa as a whole is the surviving continent for the world in the future.

I ask the business minds here,,,Do you think that the MD of bankphb Francis Atuche would have recapitalized his bank? My answer is 200% yes. He is a business mogul, a goal getter and an achiever. He would have done that.

I would suggest to him to play invisible and buy his bank back from Amcon. That is the only way to get his baby back to him.
So why the heck didnt he recapitalise his bank before the hammer chopped his head off? Business mogul my backside!!

Sir, i wouldn't want to repeat what had been said on numerous threads on NL, But i will give you the benefit of reading through the argument below;
Thats a very good argument put forard perhaps by someone who knows more about finance and the laws related to nigeria, me I didnt study finance and never even worked anywhere near a financial role o

BUT that person is inveresly saying the Minister, All the lawmakers put together dont know what the law is!!

If you are familiar with the Fundamentals of Regulatory Oversight in any industry, you will be aware that the cardinal function of the Regulator is to guarantee a healthy industry and in so doing, the Regulator has various tools of intervention. The tools are to be excercised progressively in such a manner that correction of anomalies is effected with minimal disruption to the system. The ultimate sanctions are only reserved for irreversible situations and even at that ONLY after the application of intermediary measures which have failed.
In the case of bank surviving only as result of the EDW, i fail to see what intermediary measures could have been put in place before the big stick knowing full well those in charge are running ponnzi schemes and writing off debt like no mans business, what do you want to do with them call them in for a meeting and ask them to temper stealing with mercy?


It is therefore clear that as a Regulator he acted hastily, and without discretion, which is scandalous considering that this is a post he has held for less than two months. Clear measures availed him in taking gradual steps to correct the anomalies.
Yea GEJ also said as parts of reasons for the single tenure of six years; most politician take some years to settle down after winning election or getting appointment- such a lazy excuse for a someone who has been in the same country industry for a long time!

TravelRe: Gold In Nigeria by DisGuy(mod): 11:12am On Aug 06, 2011
A top Australian mining company, CGA Mining Limited, announced on Wednesday at the Mining Indaba Conference in Cape Town, South Africa, that it would be investing in a Ilesha, gold mining project in Osun State, which would yield a minimum production profile in excess of 100,000 ounces a year.

Speaking at the third day of the conference, which attracted mining executives, investors, analysts, financiers, journalists and policy makers from around the world, the President and Chief Executive Officer, CGA Mining Limited, Mr. Micheal Carrick, explained that the company already had a 51 per cent stake in the Segilola Gold Project in Osun State.

The announcement by CGA was obviously Nigeria’s best sales pitch at the conference and a confirmation that the country was immensely endowed with solid minerals begging to be exploited by investors.

The project is considered to be the most advanced gold exploration project in Nigeria and is held by Segilola Gold Limited in joint venture with its partner, Tropical Mines Limited, a Nigerian company owned by local investors and the Nigerian Government.

Describing the preliminary results from the gold project as exceptional, Carrick confirmed that Nigeria had great geological potentialities, especially as the Ghanaian belt, which hosted gold production of more than 20 million ounces extended down into Nigeria.

According to him, “We have proven very high quality maiden resource of over 620,000 ounces.

“This maiden resource has been generated from a first pass drilling campaign of 12,166 metres in 119 holes ranging in depth from 40m to 220m.

“The deposit lends itself to being exploited by open pit mining methods. The metallurgical characteristics of the ore are amenable to fully conventional CIL processing techniques.

“We have only drawn down to 150,000 metres, but the grade is 6.7 grams per tonne and the recovery is 96 per cent.

“The deposit remains open along strike (existing strike length of 1.9km) and at depth and there is a substantial evidence of parallel zones of mineralisation.”

Chinese Firm Begins Gold Mining in Osun State

The  Company spokeman said its previous trip to Osun State's gold mine and  various analyses it conducted  on samples it took to China, convinced it that it should start "100 per cent business," in Osun State . He said the seriousness of the governor on the agreement earlier signed and the hospitality displayed by the  people during an earlier visit, were pointers to the fact that the company could do business with Osun State.

"We are not here to find out whether there is gold or not. We are here to do business. We have come with engineers and other staff with the necessary equipment. In the next one and a half years, the company plans to commit about N1 billion into the project," he said.

Only time will tell if Sanusi is right or wrong in his policy actions. But as it is always the case precedence have continued to show that SLS's hasty actions leaves devastating blow in the economy. Making decisions based on impulse and bigoted disposition is never the right path to tow. Even as at today these banks are meeting their customer's cash withdrawal request and there is no sign of sudden collapse. Maybe SLS is seeing what me and most other Nigerians are not seeing, but whatever may be the case, only time will tell
That says it all really, I mean you have been bashing these inconsistent policies (which you fail t list),
which of the decisions have had devastating effects on the economy?
The cheap loans he is givng to the manufacturers? The decision to pump money into badly run banks with taxpayers' govt money,
the fact that no single depositiors have lost money?
Or is the move towards a cost effective cash management policy already affecting the economy?
Is the move to create an islamic license already affecting manufacturing companies?
Is the policy to retired CEO that served over x years really affecting the economy?
Is the move towards a uniform year end affecting nigeria?
Is the adoption of IFRS really doing anything for foreign investors?

They are meeting their customer request BECAUSE THE CBN HS CLEARLY GIVEN THEM MONEY,
BECAUSE THE CBN HAS CLEARLY GUARANTEED THEIR LOANS!!! T
There is no sign of sudden collapse because someone has made a decision to support them with money you claim had no 'constitutional backing!!!
these banks should have failed!!

You have said it all. yes, the cbn appointed the present mgt but greed and selfishness has blindfolded them that they can't act right again-an average nigerian's habit. The cbn did not hint them on this move at all. One of them went to abj to get update from sls but did not succeed.
If not that the apex bank took them unawares, they would have further dampened the reserves of these concerns.
I actually wanted to say that too but didn't want to generalise as the other appointed Managers did well to stabilise the bank and got them in a stable condition,and maybe some just didn't succeed because of the level of rot and in-fighting

This same thing happened at the beginning as well, one went to Ota to meet obasanjo before rushing out of the country when the axe was coming that's after several adverts in the newspapers- how tacky is that!!!
