Whose money did they use to purchase those stolls they are wearing? Nigerians. Who are they trying to deceive? Nigerians Who asked them to support the thieving speaker and his cronies? They did that on their own without asking their constituents. Nigerians be wise.
Abagworo: Okorocha has solved militancy in Imo State by engaging in all inclusive clemency. Wike of Rivers State should borrow a leaf from him to solve militancy and kidnapping ravaging Rivers State.
All you people commenting here are deceiving urselves cos u people don't know Rochas. I won't be surprised if these stuffs they are popularizing is not stage managed. Nigerians be wise.
Lol, as sad as that sounds I am not the said Taiwo. I am just a concerned person who has gotten tired of seeing women play that "he used me and dumped me card". For as long as both parties agreed that they where in a relationship nobody used anyone.
ciaobrenda: All men are the same . All this while he knew what he was doing. Why engage her when you know you are not going to marry her, oh so she can spend more money on you. Shame on you Mr don't even try to put one silly defense up cos it's obvious he is a crook.
Izonpikin: for that guys analogy to even come close to making sense it has to mean the rolls royce is much of an assest..lets say it is used for rental purposes or as a taxi...
we need more LNG plants and dangote is telling us to sell the only functioning one..
What u said is very true in all counts but then the sad reality of the situation is what we as a country now see ourselves in.
aventura: Ignorance everywhere. What's the point of having a rolls royce and being broke. The problem people have with this dangote disposition is 1) a perspective problem 2) bad belle
Not really bros. Read the text again and compare it to what Dangote said. You will see this idea is quite better. I mean their all suggestions but if I am allowed to use your e.g to buttress a point. If one had that rolls royce and is able to borrow money from another person on the agreement that the loan will be repaid from the proceeds from that Rolls Royce. It shows that u will still have your Rolls Royce but won't be getting money from it till the agreed number of years has elapsed and the loan is paid. I respect Dangote and many of his contemporaries but they are all businessmen and the time not to ever trust a businessman is during a deal. He may have good intentions for Nigerians but he remains a businessman. Am sure if FG asks them for such a deal to safe the economy they will only approve if it means a complete buy out of NLNG and not a loan to bail the country out.
overcomer123: I and my woman have been dating for like5 years now, we are currently doing counseling, we are cool and all and we love eachother deeply. there is one area however we are yet to fully explore, this has to do with finances, we both work and both know how much each other earns. I earn more than her and do more of the spending which is cool she also does some spending on me and buys me stuff. We also have different spending habits, she likes to take care of herself, am more of the buy only what is needed type of guy. Not stingy or a miser, but i can be prudent with money.
Now to the issue i recently noticed she is not as prudent with money as i expect, we have our wedding next month and she doesn't hv much savings, she always wants to buy and buy, its like she has this very high expectation of me. how we are going for honey moon overseas. where as me i hv other plans, Na God hand every dey. i believe we shd save and probably get a land. and not just waste it, honeymoon oversea for a week in the US wont be less than 2miliion for the both of us, that money can be used to buy a car for her.
So i got a small raise recently in the office and am nt sure i should disclose it to her, because i knw if i do, she go dey expect more, but at the same time i feel guilty cos i know she always prays for me and my job. I feel i hv an obligation to disclose every to her.
so my question is how do couples handle finance, do you do joint account or keep the finances coded.
No matter what excuse or answer anyone gives u na u get say. U are not mandated to disclose any shishi to her so remove that from ur mind but it would be nice you tell her just cos u want to tell her. Another things u guys could do is open a communal account while keeping each of ur private ones and both be paying a percentage into this account. You could call it your project account. Both parties should also be signatory so that one person can't take money without the other. At the end of the day u need to have a face to face heart to heart converse with her. May God be with u as u do.
Swissheart: You have to sit her down and explain everything on your mind to her. Let her know your fears concerning the family's finance. You can't keep your financial informations from her for life,so the earlier She is called to order the better for the family. Tell her there is an increase and it is going into savings.
I recommend The Book Marriage And Family Life by W.F Kumuyi.
(Rolls eyes) as if one could learn life's lessons from pages of a book. Big mistake.
tellwisdom: You be Mugu?? , you think sey any woman fit prayer for you without anything to gain out of it?? Keep 99% of everything confidential from a woman, be it your gf/wife... For your mind now, na her prayer dey work for u.
party: A friend just told me that since he returned from an assignment in Ghana from which he posted pictures of his hotel room and shopping at the Mall , girls who already ignored his chat now say hello to him.
Some even started welcoming him back when he posted his status update that he's back.
There was one in particular who had ignored him since 2014 now asking what he brought from his trip.
Just imagine ordinary Ghana o!
No wonder guys like MrCork keep bragging about being a Londoner cuz he knows that will score points with our Naija girls.
Didnt start today. Who no like better thing? Then again not reason to use it against them
Cash-strapped Nigeria’s Federal Government is demanding $635million from two multinational oil companies, Agip and Total for undeclared crude oil shipped out of the country between 2011 and 2014.
Two cases have been filed at the Federal High court in Lagos by senior lawyer and Senior advocate of Nigeria, Professor Fabian Ajogwu, who had handled several cases for the Federal Government on aviation, defence, energy, and financial services.
Hearing will begin next week before Justice Olatoregun Isola.
And there are indications that Ajogwu will also be filing claims against other multinationals, such as Chevron and Exxon-Mobil The Nigerian Government in the two cases is claiming $490,517,280 from TOTAL E&P NIGERIA LIMITED and $145,848,102 from NIGERIA AGIP OIL COMPANY LIMITED.
The statements of claim filed before the court are accompanied by the sworn affidavits of three US based professionals.
The Nigerian Government contends that sometime in 2014,it realised a decline in its oil export revenue. This necessitated an intelligent gathering of data, which showed that part of the reasons for the decline was the under-declaration of crude oil shipments made by some major oil and gas companies operating in Nigeria.
Professor David Olowokere, a US citizen who is the lead Analyst at Loumos Group LLC, a technology and oil and gas auditing firm based in United States of America, Jerome Stanley, a counsel in the law firm of Henchy & Hackenberg, a law firm based in United States of America and head of the legal team engaged by Loumo Group LLC, made the court statements.
The third deponent is Micheal Kanko a citizen and resident of the State of Arizona United States of America, who is the founder and the current Chief Executive Officer of Trade Data Services Company.
A forensic analysis of export records from Nigeria and the import records from respective ports of entry at the United States of America used by Agip and Total showed discrepancies.
The volume of crude Oil declared to have been exported from Nigeria, was less than what was declared to have been imported into United States of America via the same shipment by the same vessel on the same bill of lading.
Some other shipments were not declared by the defendants to the requisite authorities, particularly the pre-shipments inspection agents. In some instances, the crude oil shipments were completely undeclared.
The plaintiff (Nigeria Government ) alleged further that all crude oil and gas shipments /exports from Nigeria are required to be declared and inspected by pre -shipment Agents appointed by the Central Bank of Nigeria of revenue due from the crude oil shipments. The inspection records are to be deposited with ministry of finance Nigeria .
The Nigeria Government averred that high-technology information technology system including satellite tracking systems were deployed by consultants in gathering the various validated information establishing the shortfalls in the export declarations and the import declaration in the country of destination.
Court documents showed that 57 million barrels of Nigeria crude oil was illegally exported by TOTAL E&P NIGERIA LIMITED, NIGERIA AGIP OIL COMPANY, CHEVRON and other companies and sold to buyers in the United States of America between January 2011 and December 2014. The revenue due to Nigeria as a result of this under-declaration and non-declaration is $12,722,600,327($12.7billionDollars) which translates to N2,493,629,664,092(2.5Trillion Naira) at an official rate of 197 Naira to one US Dollar
In one of the instances cited, TOTAL E&P NIGERIA LIMITED shipped crude oil using a vessel by name TRIATHLON to Tostsa Total oil Trading SA of San Felipe Plaza-Suite 2100,5847SAN FELIPE, 770557-HOUSTON United States at the port of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States of America with a bill of lading number TCVMTRIATIA 1388. The shipment was not declared to the relevant authorities resulting in the shortfall of 968,784 barrels of crude oil in the value of $106,566240 as revenue to the Government,
Another under-declared crude oil was estimated at 491,850 barrels with a value of $54,103,500. It was shipped aboard a vessel named NORTH STAR and sold to BP Products North America of 501 Westlake Park Boulvard, Houston, TX 77079 United States, at port of Texas City, with bill of lading DROESVD23091101.
On two different occasions 768,990 barrels of crude oil, valued at $84,588,910 was loaded on a vessel named AUTHENTIC. It was Shipped to Socap international limited of Cannon’s court, 22 Victoria Street, Hamilton, HM12.Bermuda at the port of Chester Pennsylvanian, United States bill of lading ALMYSVDM17041101 and17041102
The Nigerian government seeks an order of the court compelling Total E&P Nigeria Limited to pay into the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA account with the Central Bank of Nigeria, $245,258,640 being the total value of the missing revenues from the shortfall /under-declared/undeclared crude oil shipments of the Federal Government of Nigeria.
Government also wants the oil firm pay General damages of $245,258,640 and Interest on the said sum at the rate of 21 percent per annum until the entire sum is liquidated.
The case has been adjourned till next week for hearing .
In a separate suit, the Federal Government of Nigeria alleges that NIGERIA AGIP OIL COMPANY LIMITED on 16 June 2014 lifted crude oil on board the vessel named VALUE. The firm shipped the cargo to Philadelphia Energy Solutions of 1735 Market street Philadelphia, PA USA at the port of Wilmington, Delaware, United States of America with Bill of lading number SEUK9HA21304143.
Government claims that the shipment was not declared to relevant authorities resulting in the shortfall of 175,334 barrels of crude oil in the value of $38,573,561as revenue to Federal Government of Nigeria.
On 27 June,2011,Nigerian Agip Oil Company limited lifted crude oil on board a vessel named COSMIC and shipped same to ENI TRADING &SHIPPING B.V. of Strawinskylaan 1641-Tower C/16 1077C XX. Again, government claims that the shipment was not declared to the relevant authorities resulting in a shortfall of 467,614 barrels of crude oil in the value of $107,274,990 as revenue to the Federal Government
Despite letters written by the legal representative of the Federal Government for payment of the shortfall, the company had failed to make any payments to the Federal Government. The Federal Government of Nigeria now claims against Nigeria Agip Oil company limited:
*An order compelling the company to pay into Federal Government of Nigeria ‘so account with central bank of Nigeria the total sum of $145,848,551being the total value of the missing revenues from the shortfall/under declared/undeclared crude oil of the Federal Government
*Interest at the rate of 21percent per annum until the entire sum is liquidated.
*General damages in the sum of $145,848,551.and the cost of this legal action.
There are imminent claims against other Oil exploration companies including Chevron.
GoggleB: For 8 Years you destroyed Abia as a governor. Now you come out to talk, just because you know that whoever speak good of the government in power will escape the past atrocities. So keep quiet for we are not fools.
1 million biliion likes. Allow those chalatants above u talking what they don't know.
You are far better than ojukwu & ipob criminal Kanu
Thank you sire
I think you drank spoilt water. Did u just write the shit u just did? Or where u not there when Abians where groaning under this man's leadership? Why are Nigerians so forgetful or does suffering make you loose your sense of direction or ability to recognise right from wrong?
kayo80: Today is millionaire blogger, Linda Ikeji's 36th birthday, and one of her wishes is to finally start having regular sex. Hmm! I pray her wish comes true. Anyway, she said this in a video she recorded and put up on her blog this morning. Below is some excerpts that I have transcribed from the video. "My 36th birthday...my wish is to find an amazing guy. Finally have regular sex. Have a bunch of kids. Be happy. Continue to...continue to impact my world. Continue to do what I'm doing. Continue to make a difference. That's my dream. But the thing about is that I was paying so much attention to my career, to my...I was so determined to succeed and I didn't pay too much attention to my personal life."
