780 Billion Naira vs 50 Billion Naira..


This is unacceptable for an out of court settlement.

Unless the FG had no real case against MTN and the fine was based on somebody just shouting out an insane figure rather than on a clearly defined matrix of measurement.

But 50 Billion is way way too small to use to settle this case.

Only God will judge our leaders.

Black Rhino, an indigenous portfolio company of Blackstone Energy Partners, and Dangote Group of Companies, are to jointly invest up to $10 billion in energy infrastructure projects in Kano State and in East South Nigeria.

The projects are with particular emphasis on renewable energy, power transmission and building of pipelines.

Muhammadu Sanusi II, emir of Kano, who is the chairman of Black Rhino Group, disclosed that his group and Dangote Industries would contribute $5 billion each for the construction of a coal power plant and a solar energy project in Kano, as well as gas pipeline project from Akwa Ibom to be constructed to South West, where Dangote Industries were concentrated.

Speaking during a courtesy visit to the state governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the Emir said the consortium decided to embark on the power projects in Kano because of the power crisis in the state.

He further disclosed that the coal project and the solar energy project would produce about 1,000mw and 100mw, respectively.

Emir Sanusi expressed optimism that the projects would, to a large extent, improve electricity power generation in the state for both the consumption of residents and for the revival of the ailing industries in the state.

In his remarks at the occasion, Aliko Dangote, chairman, Dangote Group, expressed optimism on the viability of the projects, assuring that it would improve power generation in the state and resuscitate industries to generate employment opportunities for the teeming youth and make the economy vibrant.

Dangote said the gas project from the South East to Western Nigeria would extend to Ghana, and would go a long way in addressing the energy needs of industries within the region, particularly those under the Dangote Group.

On his part, the state governor expressed hope that “the project would bail Kano State out of its prevailing economic depression and uplift the state to another level of economic prosperity and development.

“Now that the national economy is dwindling, we have no better way to revive it than to invest in agriculture and resuscitate our industries.”

He promised that the state government would provide land, among other things, to enable the project materialise.

Stressing that power is very critical to the survival of industries in the state, he announced that the state was also making modest effort to provide electricity through the ongoing multi-billion naira Independent Power projects at Tiga and Challawa, which would generate 35mw of electricity.

Are you surprised? ANSU students like sorting there lecturers. It's legal and any student who isn't sorting is seen as a fool.

chriskosherbal:
That money is huge and should be ensured that it is use for the purpose it is met for.

The case had been reported to him as at around d time d abduction took place(August 2015) but he did nothing about it.

Bros,

1. First off, I am equivocally in agreement with you. If you look up my post, I had laid a premise that Yinusa is culpable
2. I am fully aware of the laws with respect to minors and I know Yinusa will probably be jailed for a minimum of about 6months
3. My focus in point number 4 is to raise the issue of Ese's part and the need to look at how Ese needs to be helped. Ese may have double identity. She might have been sexually active years before this case......

mapet:
4. Truth is there is no evidence yet, that Ese was abducted. If her current actions and reactions are anything to go by, It would even seem she left on her own volition. My take is that Ese herself should take her portion of the blame and repremand. Let's not try to make this a case of an innocent girl. In today's world where our kids are exposed beyond their ages, a 14year old girl is most likely well aware of her actions, even if she can't picture the consequences.

Worse still it is an unfolding drama at the end of which Emir Sanusi Lamido may well have a case to answer. The truth is that that little girl would have been raped over and over again and she may well have Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), Vesicovaginal fistula (VVF) or some other strange sexual disease by now. She may also be pregnant.

Instead of sympathizing with her and considering the fact that she may never be the same again in view of the physical and mental torture and trauma that she has been subjected to over the last few months, some misguided souls and shameless commentators have the temerity to come to social media and say that she was old enough to “get it” whilst others say that she ”loved it” and ”wanted it”.

I am utterly disgusted and appalled by these sentiments. Where is the humanity of those that speak and think like this? Where is their compassion and where is their soul?

May God judge them and may their own infant daughters be abducted, forcefully Islamised, raped, enslaved and kept against their will as a sex slave in an Emir’s palace in the same way that Ese was.

Meanwhile I just watched an AIT video in which Ese’s mother claimed that her daughters abductors said that it was the Emir of Kano himself that ordered her daughters abduction and that she was kept in his palace for over one year for his pleasure.

On the left is Mr. Ayodele Daniel Dada the first Nigerian to finish university with a perfect CGPA of 5.0 and on the left is Mrs. Olajumoke Orisaguna a 'former' bread seller.
Before Ayodele, no one had 'EVER' finished with a perfect CGPA in UNILAG!!! Since it was established in 1962, he made history by becoming the first to achieve such a commendable feat!

Now, so many questions come to mind. How come my dear friend Kunbi of 'April with Kunbi' hasn't styled him or recommended him for styling? How come CNN hasn't done a story on him? How come his life isn't documented on blogs daily? How come he isn't a brand ambassador for any product?

The National Judicial Council (NJC) is expected to release the name of two new justices of the Supreme Court tomorrow.
Following the retirement of Justice Afolabi Fabiyi and Justice Muntaka Coomassie, four justices of the appeal court have been interview to replace them.
The NJC hold its first quarterly plenary for this year on Wednesday and Thursday.
It was learnt on Monday that a major item on the NJC’s plenary would be consideration of the outcome of the interview conducted to fill two vacancies at the apex court bench.
According to reliable sources in the judiciary, four candidates, who are currently Justices of the Court of Appeal in various divisions, have already been interviewed for the available two slots.
It was learnt that Justices Ejembi Eko and Monica Dongban-Mensen were interviewed to choose a replacement for Justice John Fabiyi, who retired in November 2015.
Two other Justices of the Court of Appeal, Amina Augie and Garba Lawal, were also said to have been interviewed, in order to fill in the vacancy left behind by Justice Muhammad Muntaka-Coomasie, who retired on February 10.
Either Eko, who hails from Benue State, or Dongbam-Mesen from Plateau State will fill in the slot of the North Central geo-political zone on the bench which became vacant with the retirement of Justice Fabiyi, who hails from Kogi State in the same zone. Augie or Lawal will replace Muntaka-Coomasie who hails from Kaduna State.
After the NJC’s plenary, the name of one of the two candidates will be forwarded to President Muhammadu Buhari, who is vested with the powers to appoint.
The number of the Supreme Court Justices last week dropped from 16 to 15 with the retirement of Justice Muhammad Muntaka-Coomasie, who attained the mandatory retirement age of 70 on February 10.
