Yes ooo they should cut his hand. Sharia should take it full course

I think is high time we start questioning testimony/miracle and dig deep to know that they are true. We shouldn't accept and believe everything we hear and see hook, line and sinker to prevent a case of the more you look the less you see thereby making pastors god of men.

So after this news what next? For how long more are we going to do away with this "Sidon look eno concern me" attitude and act accordingly. As for me, I am sick and tired of this kind of news. I think is high time once a news like this is released, we should ensure a probe of such allegation and if found wanting such an elected official should be made to face the full wrath of the law We should all make him/her irrelevant in the political scene. FARUKGATE,DIMEJI BANKOLE are two examples.

From day one I have never supported this sycophant to be elected into any offices in Nigeria. He is a snake under green grass. I pity Nigerians who keep voting for likes of him. Quote me anytime any day this guy will keep winning his constituency just as David Mark won. We keep praying to God to make Nigeria better but we as group people are not helping out. I don't pity our situation in the country. We deserve what we are getting until we are able to rise up against nepotism, tribalism, mediocrity, over zealous religious entity, things we never work out in Nigeria.

how much?

Can anyone point to one achievement by past minister of solid minerals. I will be surprise if there is any. I can categorically say they are just there to warn the chair of mark register as ministers. I am angry and wish to channel my anger productively. Is high time we hold our government accountable. If Ajaokuta is the only project Dr. Fayemi can achieve, so be it. I don't want to care if he uses is company to achieve visible result. The cascading effect of this gargantuan project is enormous. we need to challenge our self to get something positive from this revelation of decadence in our country. Enough of sit don look attitude. We should be able to drive home our point somehow .Nigeria youths, how long more of this mental slavery. It is time to rise up and take charge of our destiny. Enough of all this religion jargons of pray for our leaders for God to touch their heart and make them change their corrupt ways. God has set the table before us with finesse of foods, name it Salad, vegetables, wine, but instead of us to use our hands to pick the cutleries and eat we are still disturbing God to spoon feed us. We are endowed with all the necessary things to survive as a nation. Let us stop disrobing God and do what is expected of us. I am expecting someone to come up with a rally to the office of the minister of solid minerals and demand that the report by this writer should be looked into and make him see reasons to pursue it as his only agenda. Believe me if we get it right others minerals discovery and exploration will fall in place and we can create millions of jobs. I am waiting for an invite to the rally. I wish I can convey one.

I have been advised to use pseudo names in publishing this piece, but that’s not my nature. I am one who bolds up to situations and thus, I shall bear my name and consequences this report might stir.

From the 14th of August 2015, the day I had an interactive and empowerment session with the black smiths of ‪#‎Ebiraland‬; the pains in their voices daunted me. A people, whose ancestors carved a niche in ironworks way back as the 7th century suffered for want of materials to support their trade while a steel giant lay raped in their backyard by a series of unfortunate events and conspiracies.

In October, I took online to issue a petition pleading with ‪#‎President‬ ‪#‎Buhari‬ to revive ASCL; and with your support we were able to get hundreds of signatures. Since that day, I left no stone unturned to discover the happenings so as to better understand the best path forward. I have taken time to make this report as brief and as simple as possible and urge you all to take time and read.

1958 to 1979

1958 - the colonial administration conducted a feasibility study on iron ore deposits in Nigeria.
1967 – the ‪#‎United‬ ‪#‎Nations‬ ‪#‎Industrial‬ ‪#‎Development‬ ‪#‎Organisation‬ survey identified Nigeria as a potential steel market which led to the signing of a bilateral agreement between Soviet Union and Nigeria.
1971 - the Nigerian Steel Development Authority was established by Decree No.9 to bring to reality a steel plant.
1979 – during the administration of Alhaji Shehu Shagari, TyazhPromExport (TPE) a ‪#‎Russian‬ leading engineering company commenced construction works on #Ajaokuta ‪#‎Steel‬ Company Limited.

1979 to 1994

In less than 12 years, TPE transformed a wide expanse of land to contain some giant size network of machinery meant to process the exploration of steel for ‪#‎Nigeria‬. Indeed, billions were spent and its evident in the state of the art townships , roads, bridges, power plants, air strip, port, rail that were put up in Itakpe and Ajaokuta in ‪#‎Kogi‬ state.

In 1990, as the project approached completion, TPE on monthly bases for 4 years wrote to the ‪#‎Federal‬ ‪#‎Government‬ reminders on the need to commence works on the necessary infrastructure needed to successfully operate ASCL and Nigerian Iron Ore Mining Company (NIOMCO). They are access roads to the mines and rail system from ASCL to Onne sea port in Port Harcourt. TPE also suggested the possibility of dredging river Niger which could offer a better and more convenient route of importing raw materials. This infrastructure TPE argued would benefit the public especially Northern part of Nigeria where finished steel manufactured products such as cars, parts, construction materials etc could be shipped to other states and nations once the state is fully functional as an industrial hub. The government never responded.

THE INTERNATIONAL CONSPIRACIES

A lot of people talk about the international conspiracies surrounding ASCL but very few know what actually they were or are. Here;

In 1992, when the project was near completion and while the Russians (TPE) called on the government to work on needed infrastructure; powerful countries namely ‪#‎France‬, ‪#‎America‬, ‪#‎Germany‬, Britain etc including the organizations like the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) started reaching out to Nigerian government to terminate the project with the Russians. The Ohinoyi of Ebira land HRM Ado Ibrahim witnessed firsthand a plot by the IMF during a conference in NewYork where a team of Nigerian officials and foreign agents connived that ASCL should be completely dismantled and forgotten. To them, Nigeria did not need to have a steel plant. Nigeria could as well buy steel from them if needed for its development.

Nigerian government listened to the negative solutions without ever considering the true intentions of the so called experts from these powerful foreign countries. Russia all through stood its ground alone against France, America and co and kept on reminding Nigeria of the need to ignore the adverse opinions. Russia told Nigeria that this conspiracy was cooked by the West to stop Nigeria from achieving the economic strength strong enough to uplift not only itself but the whole of Africa. To them, Nigeria and Africa needed to be kept as a market for all junk goods from the West. This is in line with the colonial economic model brought in by the British and so, to have Nigeria turn around its economy and that of weaker nations hitherto being exploited by the super powers, and by implication, impact negatively on the extent of influence of the richer countries sent shivers at the smart future awaiting Nigeria.

Nigeria’s government was too busy focusing on ushering the 3rd Republic, June 12 saga and all. No attention was given to the Russians. TPE was no longer being paid. In 1994 TPE left Nigeria.

SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS

The Dept Buy Back

Nigeria’s contract with TPE was to construct ASCL for five billion German Deutschmarks (DM) and such that the Nigerian steel authority gave TPE promissory notes guaranteeing payment to the company. When Nigerian government suspended payment and TPE left, TPE sold off these instruments to recover some of the debt owed to the company.
In October 1995, a series of secret debt buy-back transactions took place whereby the debt instruments were sold at inflated prices to Liberian companies purportedly owned by the Abachas - Parnar Shipping Corporation and Mecosta Securities .This involved the withdrawal in 1996 of $2.5 bn of public funds to settle debts owed to Russia for the construction of the Ajaokuta steel plant, but which in reality had been discounted to only $500m. Obasanjo in 1999 settled debt through OMPADEC .

SOLGAS - the first Concessionaire

In 2003, Nigeria under president Obasanjo realized the need to complete Ajaokuta and so, SolGas, an American company which specialized in petroleum was given concession. For a year and a half, Solgas zero progress raised questions as to their technical capacity to operate ASCL. Even though they claimed Senator Liyel Imoke and Gbenga Obasanjo brought in Global Steel Holdings Limited/ ISPAT to short- change it from performing. To this end, Nigeria terminated contracts with Solgas. There were no minutes recorded to document deliberations engaging or terminating with Solgas.

GLOBAL STEEL HOLDINGS LIMITED (INDIAN) - the second Concessionaire

An Indian company first operating under the name ISPAT then changed its name to Global Infrastructure Holding Limited and now ‪#‎Global‬ Steel Holdings (GSH) were helped into Nigeria by Sen. Liyle Imoke and Gbenga ‪#‎Obasanjo‬ under President Obasanjo’s tenure in August 2004. The agreement was such that company would own 60 percent of the shares of the steel mill. The Federal Government would keep 30 percent while 10 percent shares would be sold to the public. This company GSHL owned by Mr. Primod Mittal is not affiliated with ArcelorMittal, which the world’s renowned steel giant. ‪#‎ArcelorMittal‬ is owned by ‪#‎Lakshmi‬ ‪#‎Mittal‬ and a cousin to Mr. Primod Mittal.

This concession which saw the taking over of ASCL and Itakpe is termed one of the biggest scams. The plant was hugely undervalued for $300m and GSH was to pay nothing to the government but inject its funds to revive the plant with a number of conditions some of which were:

- 1. That the Federal Government should give GSHL two oil blocks.
- 2. That GSHL be allowed to be lifting crude oil from Nigeria.
- 3. That the Sapele Power Plant be given to GSHL to operate.
- 4. Concession of Delta and Warri Ports to GSHL to operate.
- 10. The supply of Natural Gas to GSHL at “competitive and reasonable tariff”.(GSHL came up with this condition after it failed to sign a Gas Supply Agreement with the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Company. GSHL offered to pay N5.00 per cubic meter of Gas as against the market price of N30.00). It also inserted in its conditions that “Gas price should be kept reasonable and consistent.

After all these conditions, ASCL still deteriorated as equipments of ASCL were moved to Delta steel (which GSHL took over in 2005) while some to other private owned Indian owned steel factories in Nigeria in the name of “borrowing”.

The federal government under President Yaradua realized the huge mistake Nigeria once again made and sought to terminate the contract with GSHL. The then Director General of the BPE, Ms Bolanle Onagoruwa stressed that the approval of the concession of Ajaokuta by president Obasanjo was in violation of the BPE Act.

At Senator Ahmed Lawan led Adhoc Committee, Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Architect Mohammed Musa Sada also revealed that the federal government under Obasanjo single handedly sold ASCL to GSHL and that GSHL ruined the Ajaokuta complex by stripping it of all valuable equipment and machineries. It led to the cancellation of the entire process by the federal government.

This act didn’t go too well with GSHL and they dragged Nigeria to the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in London, UK and demanded Nigeria pays them $1B for termination.

In 2013, after 6 years of heated negotiations at the ICC, the Jonathan’s administration successfully took back ASCL. GSHL also lost their $1B demand.

2013 TILL DATE – INDIANS HOLD AJAOKUTA TO RANSOM

One would have assumed the drama over in 2013 but alas, the Federal Governments hands are tied on progressing with ASCL. GSHL shrewdly crafted an arbitration clause in the contract between the government and GSHL which prohibits Nigeria from dealing with anybody until all matters with GSHL are resolved. In other words, the Indians do not want Nigeerian government to proceed on completing Ajaokuta until an unreasonably selfish condition is met - they want the Nigerian government to give Itakpe Iron Ore company to them free for 25 years.
