Wrong political strategy Calculations 00/100 F9 for Jibrin

The Comptroller-General of Customs, retired Col.
Hameed Ali, on Tuesday said the service would
auction seized vehicles belonging to Imo
Government, brought into Nigeria without
payment of customs duty.
Ali said this during an oversight visit by the
Senate Committee on Customs in Abuja.
According to him, many cars on Nigerian roads
use fake customs papers, adding that most of
the cars were smuggled.
“We (customs) are giving Nigerians with fake
customs papers grace to pay their duty or risk
confiscation of their vehicles.
“I am waiting for the President, Muhammed
Buhari, to give me the permission to ban
importation of cars through land borders to curb
smuggling.
“Vehicles imported should only come through the
sea ports; this will boost our revenue collection,’’
Ali said.
Ali accused car dealers in the country of being
responsible for high rate of smuggled cars.
He said that sometimes customs considered
innocent buyers of fake papers on vehicles to
pay fees so that their vehicles could be released
to them.
Ali said many scanners at Nigeria’s borders were
non-functional, and assured of procurement of
functional ones soon.
Ali said that the NCS generated N570 billion in
nine months.
He said Nigerians were the most non-compliant
in the world, adding that “all we need is full
compliance of the law”.
Ali said the service was working on increasing its
surveillance over the borders.
“We have two helicopters right now for
surveillance; we need more.
According to him, the Nigeria Customs Service
(NCS), since the beginning of the year, has not
received any form of intervention fund to boost
its operations.
“We believe this happened because of the
scarcity of fund the country is experiencing.
We need intervention fund for effective service
delivery; we are not expecting too much.
Ali said full automation in customs would stop
revenue leakages.
Chairman, Senate Committee on Customs and
Excise, Sen. Hope Uzodinma, expressed
displeasure that the revenue generation of the
service was dwindling.
Uzodinma said that the NCS might not generate
enough revenue this year due to decline in
customs revenue.
“The NCS must find avenues to block all
leakages,’’ Uzodinma said.
He pledged the commitment of the Senate to
customs by making laws that would enhance its
revenue generation.
The committee suggested that all seized items
in customs warehouses could also be given to
orphanages not just the IDPs alone.(NAN)

HungerBAD:
The observers are watching.

I do not like or respect Dogara. First,the way he became the Speaker still offends all the progressives like me. And for sometime now,his name has being linked to everything corrupt.

I know President Buhari, does not want to upset the structure or status quo of the House of Representatives. But Dogara is starting to be a distraction,and if what this Governor just alleged is true,then he should resign honourable.

We cannot be fighting corruption,and somebody whose name keep coming up as being corrupt,cannot be allowed to hold a top position in the Country.

Dogara has to go,even his Governor calls him corrupt.

Charity begins at home.

Here comes a team of economist from Harvard, Consulting economists of World Bank and IMF. On a mission to save Nigerian economy from sinking more deeper in to recession. Their presence in Nigeria is already bringing back thousands of foreign investors and the overall confidence on the economy. Naira will soon be equal to dollar ie N1=$1USD

ATTEMPTS by the current administration to shove up its non-oil receipts may face a major setback, following threats of a major exodus of some experienced officers of the Nigeria Customs Services who have threatened to dump their service uniforms on account of poor remuneration and working-conditions, investigations by Nigerian Pilot have revealed. “We can’t continue to work in such a harsh environment, with our take-home pay barely enough to meet our basic domestic needs” revealed a Deputy Superintendent in Apapa, who craved anonymity. This newspaper has it on good authority that the on-going recruitment drive by the board of the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS, may have provided the much needed tonic for the planned exodus of some highly competent and trained staff of the Nigerian Customs Service. “Don’t forget we perform basically the same roles as our colleagues at the FIRS,” said an Assistant Superintendent of Customs at the Tin Can Island Port. Investigations revealed that the customs officers are the most poorly paid among parastatals under the Federal Ministry of Finance. An average customs officer is also the least paid when compared with other parastatals in the maritime sector like the Nigerian Ports Authority, NIMASA and Nigeria shippers. A retired Comptroller of Customs who also spoke on condition of anonymity opined that something had to be done urgently before the impending exodus of these highly skilled officers. “How can anyone explain why the workforce of such a high revenue generating agency are treated as second class citizens in their own country? The police, the military and even the recently created Nigerian Civil Defense Corps are better remunerated than the customs. Don’t we go to the same market? Apart from oil, the customs and the FIRS remain the highest contributors to the federation account. “Is it not an insult that an Area Controller of Customs who is an equivalent of a Police Commissioner takes home less than 400,000 monthly, as against a police CP who is paid about N1.2million monthly. Go to NPA and find out; a Level A officer in that establishment earns same pay as a Controller of Customs; that is just not acceptable,” said the retired officer. Also, an officer in one of the border stations said “we are poorly paid. Officers are crying every day, seeking for good postings just to get extra monies for themselves due to the poor pay. Eventually, not everyone could get such good postings.” Commenting on the development, president of the National Council of Customs Licensed Agents, Mr. Lucky Amiwen said the problem of the customs was “self- afflicted.” He added that “when the last administration came up with a presidential committee to reform the customs, what did the then management do? They frustrated the committee; we couldn’t do our job. Let them tell Nigerians what they did with the intervention fund and the seven percent deduction from source. Let them embark on ‘self-cleansing’ and stop blaming the government,” Mr. Amiwen said. In his reaction, customs spokesman, Wale Adeniyi said, “I’m not aware of any mass exodus of customs personnel to FIRS who are currently recruiting; but if at all there is any such move, it should be seen as a personal decision of such officers. “It is true that the condition of service of the FIRS is better than that of the customs, that is why the current management of the service is engaging government to ensure that the condition of service of the Nigerian Customs Service is at par with such high revenue yielding agencies like the CBN, NNPC and FIRS, and I can tell you categorically that the response we have gotten so far from government is very favourable and in no distant future, the average customs officer would smile home at the end of every month,” Wale concluded. Industry experts believe that the high rate of corruption in the service is attributable to the poor remuneration and welfare package of officers. A Chief Superintendent Customs in Abuja who pleaded for anonymity told our correspondent that “many of my colleagues are considering leaving the customs for the new FIRS ongoing recruitment.”

May God intervene and Rest in Peace to the dead.

Operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) have begun investigation into how the National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons allegedly awarded 10 contracts to companies in one day, Daily Trust gathered yesterday.
According to top EFCC sources, the agency is looking at documents alleging that the former House of Representatives chairman, Appropriation Committee, Abdulmumin Jubrin, padded the 2014 budget with projects domiciled within the National Commission for Refugees Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons and other agencies.
Copies of the letters of award of contracts made available to Daily Trust showed that on September 26, 2014, the Refugees Commission in one day awarded all the contracts to front companies allegedly provided by Jibrin.
He was copied in each of the 10 award letters signed by one Engr. Lawal A. Rasheed on behalf of the federal commissioner of the agency.
Sources said the contracts were awarded to the benefit of Kano State without naming the locations.
Those to receive items to be supplied in each contract were not named, so was also the constituency, the source said.
The EFCC investigators are also trying to establish Jibrin’s relationship to the projects.
They are also looking to unravel why the N418m contracts were given an execution period of just two weeks, the source added.
The companies which received the contracts on September 26, 2014 include Eleku Construction LTD, which was to supply Bricks/Block machines worth N49m, Sabiti NIG LTD to supply farming tools to Kano for N28m, and Sabiti NIG, to supply Kano a variety of nursery bred seedlings worth N30m. Global Legend Integrated LTD got a contract for the supply of golf cars to Kano State worth N48.7m, Eleku Construction LTD got another contract for the supply of maize and millet to Kano State worth N44m, Sabiti NIG was awarded another contract to supply Bajaj Tricycles to Kano State for N49m.
Global Legend International was also to supply Butterfly sewing machines to Kano State for N42m, Shafaha Enterprises LTD was to supply Welding Machines worth N36m. Eash Progressive Ventures LTD was contracted to supply fertilizer to Kano State for N42m and also to supply computers and accessories/printers to the state for N47.5m.

There was a mild drama last Saturday at NNPC
Mega filling Station situated along Jos road in
Bauchi, according to a source the Speaker of
the Bauchi State House of Assembly, Hon.
Kawuwa Shehu Damina, with his long convoy
has driven to the filling Station to fill in their
vehicle when a mild drama ensued between him
and other customers who were in a queue
waiting for their time.

As gathered the Speaker who thought with his
position as the Speaker of the State House
would be able to drive inside the filling station
and filled the tank of his vehicle and other
vehicles on his entourage met a brick wall as he
was resisted by the customers who were also
at the filling station queuing to also buy fuel.
According to a close source who confided in
this medium stated that all efforts and pleading
by the Speaker to get his car tank filled was
rebuffed by the angry customers at the filling
station who insisted the Speaker must join the
queue like others at the station.

The source also stated that the irate customers
at the filling station told the Speaker that he
has now remembered he can use his position as
Speaker to get what he wanted, speaking
further they stated that the Speaker and other
persons in place of authority will not want to
use their position to get things done for the
people who are entrusted into their hands.
The Speaker was accused by the customers
that he has not used his position to do anything
since coming into office, on what looked like a
transferred aggression, the accused the Speaker
of not doing anything that favours the people,
for instance he was also accused of not doing
anything to all the numerous petitions sent to
the State Assembly for consideration.

He was also accused of sweeping of all the
petitions under the carpet, as he has not the
taken time to address or look into any of them.
Corroborating, what the irate customers stated,
the source told this medium that it is true that
the Speaker has not done what is expected of
him. He stated several petitions have been sent
to the House for consideration, but the House
has not looked at any one of them.

For instance, there has been petitions on the
issue of the N4 billion loan, has been written to
him to investigate, but that has been swept
under the carpet. Not only that, several
petitions have been written concerning the issue
of the approval of the Substantive Chief Judge
but he has remained mute on that.
The above mentioned are just but a few, as
there are other many petitions written to the
House under the Speaker’s leadership that he
has failed to look at.

Whistle-blower Jibrin In Fresh 3 Over N17b Money Laundering Scandals; Runs From Pillars To Poles For Cover-up
The whistle-blower and the embattled former appropriation chairman in the House of Representatives, Mr. Abdulmumin Jibrin, might be arrested and charged to court by the anti-graft commission anytime from now as he is reportedly in fresh 3 money laundering charges, which have been revisited by the anti-graft agency, the Economic and Financial Crime Commission, EFCC, report according to Punch Newspaper suggests.

According to our source, Mr. Abdulmumin Jibrin, was already seeking cover from possible arrest by the police and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in a fresh twist to his budget ‘padding’ allegations against the Speaker, Mr. Yakubu Dogara, and three other principal officers of the House of Representatives.

Contrary to claims by Jibrin that he was invited by the EFCC to shed light on his petitions on budget padding against Dogara and three others, he was actually being grilled by the anti-graft agency over his past financial transactions and several petitions against him, Punch Newspaper's investigation revealed.

JIBRIN'S REPONED MONEY LAUNDERING CASES:


In 2012, the EFCC was said to have investigated and charged Jibrin to court over money laundering allegations and contract abuses in his Bebeji/Kiru Federal Constituency in Kano State.
There was also a money laundering charge of N15bn against him and a former Governor of Nasarawa State, Mr. Aliyu Akwe-Doma, wherein the two were arraigned by the EFCC.
Another case involved N2bn, which he reportedly laundered in the name of Green Forest Investment Limited, a firm he owned. However, the charges were later abandoned.


It was learnt that when Jibrin appeared before the police and the EFCC over the budget padding allegations, his money laundering charges were revisited, as he was reportedly asked more questions on his 2012 case.

On leaving the premises of the agencies, Jibrin proceeded to an Abuja Federal High Court to seek injunctions against possible arrest.

He filed two suits, one against the Inspector-General of Police, and the second, against Dogara and 13 other respondents.

In the suit he filed against the IGP, he also joined Dogara; the House of Representatives; the Federal Capital Territory Police Commissioner; Lasun; Ado-Doguwa; Ogor and 10 other lawmakers.

The suit had reference number, FHC/ABJ/CS/539 and was filed on August 9.

“Upon receiving signals that he (Jibrin) may soon be charged to court by the EFCC, he rushed to court on Thursday August 9, 2016, seeking injunction restraining the police and other anti-graft agencies from arresting or charging him to court,” Punch Newspaper was told

Findings also showed that, while before the public, Jibrin stepped up campaigns for the reconvening of the House so that Dogara and others would be probed, behind the scenes, he filed a second suit seeking to stop his likely suspension, should the House reconvene.

In the said suit number, FHC/ABJ/CS/539, Jibrin prayed the court not to allow a plan by Dogara and 13 other members of the House to “suspend” him.

He claimed that the 14 members met on August 3, following which they agreed to reconvene the House with the plan to suspend him.

But, in the open, Jibrin stepped up campaigns, saying that Dogara and the 13 others were not ready to reconvene the House over the fear of the allegations he levelled against them.

In his sworn affidavit, Jibrin actually expressed concern that Dogara and the 16 others were not stopped, he (Jibrin) “would be suspended as a member of the House and this will greatly prejudice him and thousands of his constituents who rely on him to afford them their due representations in the Federal legislature.”

Saturday PUNCH made efforts to get Jibrin’s reactions but he could not be reached as of 8.30pm on Friday.

He also did not reply to a text message one of our correspondents sent to his mobile phone.

Jibrin had alleged that Dogara and three other principal officers requested the inclusion of N40bn projects in the 2016 budget, besides sundry projects in sums ranging from N20bn to N30bn.

He claimed that his refusal to oblige the four principal officers and his opposition to several financial infractions, were responsible for his sacking by Dogara on July 20.

Jibrin later said he petitioned the EFCC, ICPC, the police and the Department of State Services.

In his reaction to the development, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Robert Clarke, said the appropriate thing any lawmaker facing investigation should do is to resign from his office.

He said, “Any lawmaker, including the Speaker of the House, Yakubu Dogara, only enjoys immunity within the Chamber, but does not enjoy such outside of the Chamber. The immunity they enjoy is different from the one governors enjoy.

“Therefore, if any lawmaker has committed an offence outside of the Chamber, they can be grilled by the EFCC and if found guilty, should be charged to court.

“So, there is nothing wrong for the EFCC to investigate Jibrin and Dogara for any financial-related offences committed outside of the Chamber. They should be investigated.”

The Coordinator of the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, Mr. Adetokunbo Mumuni, asked Jibrin to resign his seat following the alleged money laundering offence and probe by the EFCC.

He said, “He should face investigation. That is how it should be. Any public office holder under investigation should step down. It is only in Nigeria that public office holders want to cling to their office even when investigated for an offence.

“Let Jibrin resign from the House and face the corruption charges by either the EFCC or the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission.”

Also, the Executive Chairman, Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders, Mr. Debo Adeniran, said Jibrin deserves to be punished if the allegations against him are found to be true.

He accused Jibrin of using the budget padding allegations against Dogara as a distraction.

He said, “If indeed Jibrin was accused of N17bn fraud, the EFCC and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission have the rights to investigate the veracity of the allegation and if he is found culpable, then he should be thoroughly punished.

“It is like he wants to cover up the crime he had committed and remain the chairman of the appropriation committee at all cost. The reason why he is orchestrating the padding shenanigan is because he has something to hide.

“If the allegation that Jibrin is involved in N17bn fraud is correct, he should be diligently investigated to establish the authenticity or otherwise of the allegation.”

On the move by Jibrin to stop his planned suspension, Adeniran said, “Jibrin is just wasting his time. I have said it before that Jibrin did not have any good ground to raise any allegation because he raised it at a wrong time. He raised it when the appropriation bill had already become a law. Jibrin is an opportunistic whistle blower who is not supposed to be supported.”

Acidosis:
MIL, not FIL

lol, I edited the story that's why

We got married a year ago we have a son that is a year old, I m a civil servant same as my wife, we live in Lagos where house rent is not very expensive but can chop deep in to an average civil servants income..

We started with one car on our 6 month of marriage some one blessed us with another car...

All my plan was that I will sell 1 and build a small room and parlour in a nearby family peace of land I inherited...

Before that could be done the My Mother inlaws came that I should give her one of the cars she's going somewhere I thought its something that won't pass 1 week its now 10months

I became very crazy and angry when I discover that this month even the money for day care I couldn't pay because of house rent and the Lady is not even talking about bringing back the car + my wife is not helping matters she won't talk to her Mother to bring the car back.

if I talk she will say this is her mother how do I want her to do.

meanwhile I told her that my own parents can never do that and she knows they won't.



pls help me out... what should I do?

Isoni:
Above the Law

that is not the law, the police has no legal right to investigate legal proceedings, any one that is not OK should approach the court

slimfit1:
This is so wrong and officer is in the Nigerian uniform should have the right to invite anybody for questioning. Now this is why our police and justice system is so useless we might has well just dissolve the system what is the point of having a police that can't do its job until the head gives instructions.

Number one or two citizen doesn't work in a sane world when an ordinary officers invite you you attend because it is a serious criminal case.

We have abused the purpose of having a police in this country. Can you imagine when a whole lawmaker is saying inviting him for questioning has to be official. That is an insult to Nigerians and the Nigerian police.

na lie, in the 1st place the police, has no legal right to investigate legislative proceedings. that budget is now a law, its only the court that has the legal right to investigate it not some useless bribe taking police officers... Dogara will never stand so low to their useless invitation, any one that is not ok should approach the court, mean while the president said he didn't sign any padded budget what else do they want to know.

President99:
This Abdulmumin is jst another loose cannon!
This guy was the appropriation chairman, the
buck of budget ends on his table, morever this
same guy was on channel tv defending every
part of the budget he was questioned about and
went ahead on thesame program disparaging
executives that they can only present estimates
and NASS presents the budget.
If he had not lost out, he would have been
there telling every ear that listens that the
budget was not padded.
Jibrin should stop disturbing our peace pls.

thank you very much, you are very observant and current

Sunnycliff:
Are you holding proxy for Dogara and Co? Do you have a share of the padded amounts? Are you just exhibiting crass ignorance this morning?

what sort of myopic character is this 1 na Jibrin brother u be abi, so if someone is not guilty of something just because of your frustration that person should be declared guilty? abi wetin u mean? the President said the budget he sign is not padded and ur feeling bad na wa ooo frustrated man .
