Are you feigning sleep or you ain't informed? The day the federal government levels the playing field on shipping rates and customs, they'll use it.

You just want to argue. Every point you raise can easily be fact checked, but you just want to win.

I am hoping to see your excuse after this

BlueRayDick:
I like how the mainstream media and the social media are not letting this story die a normal death as the presidency are hoping it would.

So according to Premium Times further digging into this AdeyemiGate x GbajaGate, Adeyemi wrote a letter to office of the Accountant General requesting for deployment of some of their staff in April 2025 to which they obliged.

At least 3 staff were redeployed from the office of the Accountant General to the same agency being labeled fake now.

Make Bayo Onanuga come explain this one away again.

Make dem dey deceive themselves

That guy knows what he's saying.

While people are on the streets, defending Akara statements and enjoying suffering, Tinubu's men are collecting 400 million upfront to give appointments, with a possible 48% of 27 billion in the future.

When dem collect am finish, they will now convince you that frying Akara will give you multi millions.

Whoever made Nigerians like this should free us from the juju abeg

GloriousGbola:
tinubu will have to take the L on this - but the reality is that 90% of the time, you just dash someone in the relevant office money

when we did scuml we simply dropped money for someone
first time we did dpr registration, machine was offline and we dropped money

and that is for lowly vendors. with the aura this man was carrying some ogas at the top would have issued waiver for any registration

Before your company creates an email for you, they would have to get approvals from the relevant offices.

This guy has proved beyond reasonable doubt that everyone was aware of his agency.

His office is at the Presidential Secretariat
His agency has an account with the CBN
Even the Presidential budget (something he cannot write) has his agency budgeted for.

Do you think only sharing money can get you all these?

Nigerians are not asking the right questions. Well, we don't ever ask sha

So a scammer bought a gov.ng domain?

Can an individual buy a .gov.ng domain?

You see Tinubu's government? The worst of the worst

Isn't it too early to be cursing ?

BlueRayDick:
Exactly!

Gbaja is a person of interest in the case, he cannot be around the office of the Chief of staff when the matter is to be investigated. He cannot be part of the jury in a case he's a person of interest.

At least let an independent panel be set up to find out how the office of the Accountant general gave the man instruments to facilitate opening of TSA with CBN. Let an investigation also be made to find out how the office of the head of service granted him waiver to recruit over 300 staff under a so called fake agency.

Finally, they should find out how the fake agency found its way into 2026 budget despite Bayo Onanuga claiming the man was arrested October 2025 for being an impostor heading a fake agency. Una claim say Una arrest person for being a fraud in 2025, but somehow allocated 1.3 billion naira to the fake agency Una claim say he faked.

This government is the most corrupt so far we have had since 1999

BlueRayDick:
Not to put mouth in U guy's discussion o, just want to confirm that you are right ; Onne port is fully functional.

I've been to Onne at least 3 times in the last one and half years and I can confirm that companies use the port for both import and export steady. We've received heavy duty equipment via Onne port wella.

Thank you sir.

I hope this comment will make them believe that it's working.

I follow Ibeto online, and his current business is the Port business. He is currently expanding at Onne.

Onne is working, but maybe we know better than the real importers who have not still used it for their business

GloriousGbola:
you sound like those who think that nigerias 200 million population translates into revenue
the bulk of states in nigeria - SE included are civil service states
the bulk of the residents do not have large amounts of disposable income to engage in consumerism
even before shoprite closed, this was obvious

i visited shoprite enugu in 2015 or 16. all that was being sold there was bread and pastries
there was even a thread where some fool ish kids were talking about how ibos were smart had no use for shoprite because they missed the underlying issue - no consumers to drive retail investment

why would a company like fouani set up a warehouse in the SE when they dont have a guaranteed market? that is the kind of the thing the federal government of old did - build infrastructure that would not be properly utilized

I wonder how this line is supposed to be argued upon.

An Igbo man importing laptops is selling and making his profits at Computer Village. Why should he go import through Onne port?

Bimmarlykay:



In addition, you shouldn't have even brought up Dangote because it made my point of you being myopic. Business doesn't work like that and it's ain't always 1+1,If everything is about "Lagos/target market", why is his biggest cement plant in Kogi State (Obajana) and Ogun State (Ibese)? Why didn’t he build the huge plants inside Lagos his target market? I'm waiting for your answer to this one.Now my answer to yours,he only uses Lagos port because of my earliest point-it's the only fully functioning one sitting on the Atlantic. If other regions had working ports, nobody would go through the Lagos stress.

.

I just told you that your "Home" in business, is where your interests are. It could be market or resources. You don't relocate your business to Zamfara because you came from there

Limestone is in Obajana, and that's why Dangote is there. Okpella is a stone throw to Obajana, and that's why BUA is there. The reason Ibese is there too is definitely because there's an advantage it offers for Dangote, and not because "they should have a Cement factory"

You guys are using emotions to address the issue. Reality, unfortunately doesn't agree with that.

If Lagos is your target market, stay there. What is all these "Regional" Branch you are saying? I should open regional branch, even when the market there doesn't favour me?

GloriousGbola:
There is a whole lot in this statement that is the true answer to a lot of agitation

The best time to scatter this country was 1967, and Gowon foiled it.

As at today, everybody is too invested in Nigeria to make it scatter. Na person wey no get any pin for outside dey shout "Disintegrate".

If Nigeria scatters today, it will set every region at least 20 years behind, with some even further.

Bimmarlykay:
Firstly, like I said -demand follows infrastructure.

Secondly, you’re still getting it wrong completely. Take for instance a working port in Ibom,PH or Onitsha,do you think only the SE will use it? All nearby states will automatically pivot there. This your point that a businessman must stay inside Lagos because of "target market" is flawed,also i never said build in your village, don't know how you came to that conclusion,i only engaged when you made it seem like its all Lagos and Enugu/others should keep shipping through Lagos cause its their target market.

Thirdly, you’re actually proving my point for me. Lagos is not their choice,it's the only option they have left. Importers would naturally keep their presence in Lagos and still open a regional branch. They will prefer the port that is closer to drop their load. With time, the same things that made Lagos port the default will start happening around those other ports too. Rome wasn't built in a day.

In addition, you shouldn't have even brought up Dangote because it made my point of you being myopic. Business doesn't work like that and it's ain't always 1+1,If everything is about "Lagos/target market", why is his biggest cement plant in Kogi State (Obajana) and Ogun State (Ibese)? Why didn’t he build the huge plants inside Lagos his target market? I'm waiting for your answer to this one.Now my answer to yours,he only uses Lagos port because of my earliest point-it's the only fully functioning one sitting on the Atlantic. If other regions had working ports, nobody would go through the Lagos stress.

Lastly,i think i have answered this but I'll further butress,the SE won’t be the only consumer. Every neighboring state will focus on a closer port to save on crazy haulage expenses. Stop making it look like Lagos is the owner of the whole Nigeria market please.

I have repeatedly told you guys that PH port is working. Why are you people assuming it isn't?

Onne is working 100%. An Nnewi man has a port in PH. What's stopping other neighbouring states from using it?

I have also told you that Lagos is a focal point for trade, not just in Nigeria, but other West African states.

Onne is working till tomorrow. Why aren't the Igbos using it?

Bimmarlykay:
Chief,you are also mixing things up, you made strong points earlier,but this point up there is myopic.

For instance,nobody enjoys paying millions for container trucking, sleeping at Apapa port, or dealing with task force and highway extortion and various risk involved,if they can just clear their market closer to home.

Secondly,who says you must close your shop in Lagos just to move to the East or wherever ? A serious businessman will keep his presence in Lagos and still open another regional branch. If you can clear goods directly into a wearhouse near Aba or Onitsha for example, your landing cost will drop drastically. You will easily beat the price of anyone bringing their own load all the way from Lagos.Demand follows infrastructure. Lagos isn't a monopoly because it's magical,it's a monopoly because it's the only one currently functioning plus years of evolution involved in the structuring. The moment a working alternative opens up, the whole Southeast, South-South, and even parts of the North will pivot immediately.

Your other point stands, dredging is a limiter.

In business, your "Home" is not where you come from, but where your target market is domiciled. What makes the SE, the "Home" of a businessman? Is it because he's from there, or because his Target market is there?

I agree with you that a lot of stress is involved in shipping from Lagos, but is the solution to go and clear your container 500km away from your market (Lagos), then use 3 million naira to truck it back? Think about it.

If your target market is Lagos, why do you need to go and ship at PH, and bring it back to Lagos? Is there any economic benefit in this?

In business, your home is not your village. It is where you make your money. Dangote does not have any Cement factory in Kano (His village). The largest refinery he built was not in Kano. BUA is building industries in Nigeria except his village (Kano). Do you think they are stupid?

You're making the same mistake he made. The SE has a large percentage of traders, but the SE (Region) is not the largest consumers of what they trade.

If your target market is in Ibadan, ship your goods to Ibadan. What's the point of taking it to Aba, then carrying it back to Ibadan?

afrodoc:
I have not really followed the story in detail but from the little I have read he and someone in the upper levels of government had a deal and somehow it went bad.

Who was the person who exposed the situation initially?

He was the one that came out to say it oh. Na him expose the whole thing

Austria sef don give up

U dey mind them? It's glaring it's a case of business gone bad and "friend turn foe" between him and the people that got him the appointment.

He has mentioned Gbaja as the person of interest, anybody still calling him scam despite knowing these facts is just fooling himself

How can anybody read this and say " The man is a con man and impostor ".... This thing 4cking stinks!

The man you are calling conman hired over 300 staff with the blessing of federal government at a time when there's embargo on recruitment in our civil service. He got special waiver to hire from the office of the head of service!

See who dem dey call impostor.

How can you be a scam, and have this much access?

raumdeuter:
The truth is that the people with money, who can buy these goods are mainly in Lagos. Many of the hinterland are civil service states that cant afford much of these imported goods. Cash/Carry, shoprites in many places Outside Lagos, Abuja, PH are just to take pictures buy akara gala and bottled water

The number of cars in Lagos road alone daily might be what the entire SW or SE have in a week. Same with number of cars purchased

Beyond the rich clientele, Lagos is a market for West Africa.

Go to Tradefair and see people buying thousands of Malt and Coke to sell in Accra, Abidjan, and other countries.

Building a seaport in every street will not change anything

I have never seen a shitty performance like this!

These ones na players?

See how Spain dey roam inside their box.
