Iran ballistic missiles are a serious deterrent and the only reason the ceasefire was called by Trump after 12 days, without those ballistic missiles the war would have dragged on until Iran was pummeled into dust. Because of the small size of Israel, any war against Iran will be very costly to Israel forget all the tough talk from Israeli officials, not saying Iran will not also suffer catastrophic damage especially if the US join in.

DANGOTE WANTS TO ENJOY MONOPOLY OF THE OIL SECTOR, JUST LIKE CEMENT, AND HE IS READY TO FIGHT DIRTY.


DANGOTE IS A MONOPOLISTS NOTHING ANYONE IS GONNA SAY

LibertyRep:
There are criminals everywhere, the intentional community should take note of those involved and deep with them on individual basis instead of painting all of us with the same brush.

Mrfixitt:
Propaganda and lies are the things Tinubu is so good at. Very pathetic failure

Jeezuzpick:
Didn't they deny closing the schools at some time?

Brendaniel:
That's how they keep talking while the country is getting destroyed, one even opened a thread trying to blame obidients and Christians for exposing Christian genocide in Nigeria because Trump has added Nigeria to Visa scrutiny list, so indirectly they are telling you to keep quiet let corruption and killings be going on because you want foreign investors and Visa approval...

This is partly why Nigeria is where it is today.

you wan marry her?

SmartPolician:
That's the disadvantage of marrying a woman much younger than you. I'm sure the former president would be kicking in his grave when he sees another man on his wife!

TUANKU:
The incompetent fossil and is his incompetent government is built on deceit, lies, corruption and tribalism...now he wants to destroy military traditions because of same tribalism.

Flangelo12:
I keep reminding everyone, the courts cleared Yakubu of having $9.7 million in cash.

Focus your energy on the issue itself.
If Dangote is concerned about Farouk's administrative action, that's what he should focus on.

No court would jail Farouk for paying fees, even such fees are 1 billion dollars.

• Managing Director – Petroleum Products Marketing Company (PPMC),

Flangelo12:
Mr. Farouk holds a degree in engineering technology from the Southern Illinois University Carbondale, USA, and has attended several executive and management / leadership training programmes globally during his career life of over thirty-five years.

The extensive professional achievements of Mr. Farouk spans through successful career endeavours which started by working as a logic board verification engineer at Apple Computer Inc. (later called Apple Inc.), in Dallas, Texas, and operating at broad managerial and executive leadership positions in the dynamic Oil and Gas Industry as listed below.

- Executive Secretary – Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Authority (PPPRA),
• Executive Director (Commercial) – Petroleum Products Marketing Company (PPMC),
• Managing Director – Petroleum Products Marketing Company (PPMC),
• Special Adviser (Downstream)- GMD-Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC,
• Manager – Crude Oil Export Programming and Nominations, Shipping and Terminals (Crude Oil Marketing Division-NNPC);
• Managing Director – NiDAS Marine Limited,
• Senior Crude Oil Trader – Duke Oil Inc

She's a bad woman!

GreenCovering:
May be.
But I think Dangote is driving at something:
Even at NGN699/litre ex-depot price, only NGN389 goes to Dangote, according to him. This implies that NGN310 goes to the regulatory body NMDPRA for every litre refined by Dangote refinery. This is bureaucratic stealing against hardworking staff and managers between crude sourcing and turning it to something of value. While completely avoiding public scrutiny at the same time because nobody sees their hand (NMDPRA) in all of these. It is a typical case of Monkey dey work and baboon dey chop like we say.

We need to put NMDPRA squarely on the hot seat and grill them for jerking up the cost of production using merely the pen. This must stop!!!

Oh my God!!

If you know anything about Education, especially International Education, those are like some of the most expensive schools in the world!

Those are schools were everyone around you is a Dollar Millionaire easily, I'm talking about the kids.

Their parents are new money who can't get into Harrow and Eton easily, so they buy their way into European Boarding schools and mingle with European royalty kids and Arab and Asian billionaire kids.

And this man is spending Nigerian money from Nigeria on this, where is he getting that kind of wealth from, if not corruption?!!

This man could have sent his kids to Charterhouse or Rugby and if his children had been academically brilliant (they're usually not ), he could have sent them to King Edward VI or Tonbrigde or Queen Elizabeth School (but these kids rarely know book , why bother to study when Daddy will buy me a cushy job one day).

And they won't use those connections for anything wonderful, these kids. Your average CU-student-turned-Founder is a better bet.

There are starving kids in every 36 state of Nigeria, no government hospital with Oxygen tanks to save lives and zero fully equipped ambulances.



Which kind of evil is this??

Justice Muhammad was described as a man of integrity, humility, and strong moral character, whose years on the Bench were guided by fairness and respect for the rule of law. His leadership as Chief Justice was marked by restraint, wisdom, and dedication to justice.

this one too receive BILLIONS as retirement pension

Insisting on judicial oversight, Malami urged immediate arraignment before a competent court, in compliance with Sections 35(3), (4), and (5) of the Nigerian Constitution, stating that only a court—not a politically compromised agency—can lawfully adjudicate the matter.''

Institut Le Rosey (Rolle & Gstaad)
$110,000–$135,000 per year
The most expensive boarding school in Switzerland.

6 years for 4 children at 135k per years is $3.2 million dollars.
Not 5 million dollars.

Farouk Ahmed Oil & Gas industry roles (Nigeria & abroad):
• Started professionally as a Logic Board Verification Engineer at Apple Inc. in Dallas, TX, USA before moving into the energy sector. 
• Senior Crude Oil Trader – Duke Oil Inc. 
• Manager, Crude Oil Export Programming & Nominations, Shipping & Terminals (NNPC) 
• Executive Director (Commercial) – Petroleum Products Marketing Company (PPMC) 
• Managing Director – NiDAS Marine Limited (NNPC/DAWOO Joint Venture) 
• Executive Secretary – Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Authority (PPPRA) 
• Managing Director – PPMC 
• Special Adviser (Downstream) to the Group Managing Director, NNPC 
. Chief Executive Officer, Nigerian Midstream And Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA)

Dangote really thinks someone who has held all this post in Nigeria doesn't have 5 million dollars.........

How do you know he didn't make it in the stock market ?
Unless Dangote has evidence of misappropriated funds from NMDPRA, with documented evidence, this is defamation. Farouk should sue Dangote for false allegations and intent to defame. Money could have been inheritance,gifts,investments etc.
Do you know how many people have unexplained wealth in Nigeria, starting from Asiwaju Jagaban Tinubu ?
I suspect the Tinubu-cabal wants to remove Farouk Ahmed, they are just using Dangote to do the dirty job.

NO PADI FOR JUNGLE.

HgAkpobomeEr:
N739 is a good start.

They would rather employ the Indiabs and pay expatriates in $ than Nigerians.

Validated:
Shehu Sanni has very low IQ. The Chinese, Lebanese and Indians you see are sponsored by Nigerian elites. The elites MANIPULATE the expatriate quitas to suit themselves. These elites like Shehu Sanni would prefer to partner with these Chinese, Indians and Lebanese than their fellow Nigerians.
When one of the companies in Agbara estate was up for sale, some young entrepreneurs were interested in taking over, having worked there and managed the place. Do you know what, an Indian in cooperation with some rich Nigerians who stole and keep stealing our common wealth bought it. They would rather employ the Indiabs and pay expatriates in $ than Nigerians.

Secondly, I know a Nigerian who was Financial Controller for over a year in a company. He was not given an official car, rather a mere car grant.
Immediately, the guy left and japaed the sane company employed an Indian who was housed in Ikoyi, given an official brand new SUV with a driver and his wife provided a brand new Sedan and a driver for school and house run. Meanwhile, when the Nigerian was there, the company did not see his value. Why, because he is a Nigerian.

Simply put, Nigerians are:

- Tribalistic and value coloured skin than their prople: Would not offer another tribe man the opportunity. Where they do, they find ways and means to frustrate him Check out UAC andcread their Tribalistic stories.
- Nigerians suffer from inferiority complex. They will prefer an "Indian or Chine expert" than locals, who does the real work. This I know for sure. It is the Nigerians that manage ALL governmental relationships.
-An Indian with just a "pirated business proposal" can source millions from our banks, yet a Nigerian with collateral would not. Reason, our banks are also Nigerians.

Unfortunately, if you go to India, China or Lebanon, Nigerians CANNOT own nor operate a business by themselves. NEVER.
I challenge Shehu Sanni to name those stealing the gold in Zamfara. Are they Nigerians or expatriates in collusion with Nigerian Thieving politicians.

franchasofficia:
This topic is bigger than Shehu Sanni's small brain.

Let me educate him and other people that think like him.


Nigeria is a poor country rich with some natural mineral resources and governed by the most corrupt Nigerians who managed to fight their corrupt way to the top.


These people parading themselves as leaders in Nigeria lack vision, their only interest is how to enrich themselves, their family members, close friends, political associates, political sycophants that help them hold on to power, and because of this, the wealth from the mineral resources of Nigeria is hijacked by the ruling class and some privileged entrepreneurs. All these and more made Nigeria and Nigerians more miserable as corruption becomes institutionalized in Nigeria, causing hardship, illiteracy, mass youth unemployment, underemployment and complete idleness.


But then, due to high level of illiteracy, fear of future/old age, Islamic religion, etc., Nigeria have enormous population who are mostly young people. This population means needs that must be met whether they are poor or rich; they must feed, cloth, shelter, merry and sorrow, which creates opportunities for products and services to be rendered to solve the problems and needs of the enormous population of Nigeria.


As a Nigerian youth, when you notice these needs and opportunities, you wish to startup a business or service rendering to meet these peoples needs in exchange for money, but then you dont have the money to get you started, in some cases, you dont have the skill or technical know how to render the services and you need to survive. What do you do? And you hear about another country that have lots of well paying jobs that dont even require much skill and when you check the exchange rate, if you earn little there it can be sent back to Nigeria and quadrupled, what would you do? Immigrate to that country asap to start working to earn consistent income that will enable you live your dream life.


On the contrary, Chinese and Indians come from a country doing better than Nigeria, they know there are numerous problems in Nigeria they can offer Solutions to and build a business or company around it, they come equipped from their country. Chinese government for instance give Chinese investors huge capital for business, and they also come equipped with the skills and technical know how, so its usually easy for them to startup a new business in Nigeria.




So in summary, Nigerians need to japa to work in already established businesses to enable them save before talking about starting their own business. But Indians and Chinese only come to Nigeria to do business and go, so they come equipped with their capital, skill and technical know how. So it's not as if Nigerians aren't seeing the opportunities, they are seeing it but only those that have the capital, skill and technical know how can startup a business.


There is a difference between economic migrant and an investor. Most Indians, Chinese, etc come to Nigeria as investors while Nigerians japa to other countries as economic migrants that arrive their destination country empty handed and need a job to start a life
