↪Apologies for not realising that Anyaoku and all the delegates to be Selected for the proposed conference are holy holy incorruptible saints. Why did Anyaoku and other southeasterners allow themselves to be represented in Abuja by useless and corrupt politicians if they themselves are not corrupt and useless?
↪To show that you are for real, why not mention the unconstitutional amendments?
↪How much more taxes are you willing to pay for these unelected Anyaoku and his gang of holy holy incorruptible people to do the job of elected representatives and senators

✓ How Much Did CBN Borrow To Dangote For Oil Refinery And How Much Has Been Repaid?
Emefiele claimed Dangote had repaid 70% back? The question is 70% of what amount.
✓ And how could 70% be paid back when the refinery was still yet to be complete and refined a single drop of oil at the time he made the statment. We have now found out about Emefiele mismanagement at CBN and how he ran the institution with reckless abandon, massive corruption and circumvented CBN rules.

↪ Just few days after an Instagram user complained about the bad state of the Erin Ijesha waterfalls in Osun state, Governor Ademola Adeleke has now swiftly moved and promised to Revamp the waterfall so that it becomes one of the best tourist attraction in the nation. The user who posted the video complained about it badly littered the place was and how sore a sight it has become. Isaac Fayose, brother of Ayo Fayose as shed more light on the situation before it eventually got to the desk of the Governor of Osun state. After the Governor's promise, he took to his Instagram page to praise the Governor for his swift action.

Why should the Governor waited until he was called out before fixing up such a wonderful sight.

↪His words according to Premium Times: “Zhongshan has consistently sought to act reasonably and fairly in the course of a legal dispute with Nigeria which was not of its making,” the official told this newspaper Friday afternoon.
“It (Zhongshan) has now been made aware that an Airbus A330, currently detained in France as a result of a French court order obtained by Zhongshan, is needed for the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to travel to a scheduled meeting with President Macron of France early next week.
“As a gesture of goodwill, Zhongshan has lifted the seizure of that aircraft immediately. This will allow it to be used for the President’s trip.
“Zhongshan remains committed to talks with representatives of the Federal Government of Nigeria, this time serious and substantive on both sides, with a view to reaching a reasonable compromise settlement rapidly.”
Vanguard had reported how the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga had said that the federal government in collaboration with the Ogun State government are doing everything to quash the frivolous order obtained by Zhongshan in Paris to seize Nigeria’s presidential jets.

Kobojunkieee:
It's been 25 years and about 100 billion dollars down the drain at this point and Nigerians are still without the following basic amenities. Saraki spent 8 years as governor of Kwara and another 8 years in the Senate for the same people. The legacy of the Saraki family is such that to this day, Kwara state and every community within still lacks pretty much all of the following. Even the people in his LGA and hometown cannot boast of any one of the following amenities.

■ Electricity
■ Clean Water Supply
■ Sewage
■ Good Roads(roads built by the ancient Romans thousands of years ago are still very much available to this day)
■ Passenger Rail
■ Security
■ Reliable internet and mobile services
■ Waste Management
■ Strong healthcare system
■sturdy educational & training System
■a Welfare/Social system...

Bukola Saraki, both as the first democratic governor of Kwara State and as the Senate representative of the same people, is one of the many colossal failures of the last 25 years. Let's stop recycling obvious kakistocrats!

Lexzokomo:
Hi guys good day, trust we are all good?
Just some questions that has been bothering me over the years...
1) If truly we were given freewill why then will God punish us for our choices e.g if we don't go his way?
2)If Jesus is God why then must he have to die for our sins when he can just wave it?
3)If God really loves us why then will some people have to go to hell and others heaven when he can bring us all together as one just like in the beginning?
There are other questions but let me stop on this two.
Note: I believe and trust in God and will do my best to serve him but I just had to let this questions out because they keep bothering me.
Thanks as I await your responses

A Chinese investor seeking to enforce a US$70 million investment treaty award against Nigeria has been granted final charging orders over two UK residential properties owned by the state – having also attached a £20 million debt relating to the high-profile P&ID case.

... Court clears Chinese firm to seize Nigerian properties in London
The properties against which Zhongshan sought charging orders are estimated by the company to be possibly worth between £1.3 and £1.7 million

Chinese firm Zhongshan Fucheng Industrial Investment has been granted final charging orders in respect of two residential properties in the United Kingdom belonging to the Nigerian government.
The properties against which Zhongshan sought charging orders are located at 15 Aigburth Hall Road, Liverpool and Beech Lodge, 49 Calderstones Road, Liverpool, estimated by the company to be worth between £1.3 and £1.7 million.

On 14 June, Master Sullivan of the High Court of Justice, King’s Bench Division, Commercial Court in London issued the final charging orders in favour of the Chinese company, according to court papers seen by PREMIUM TIMES.
Nigeria had objected to the interim charging and final charging orders, claiming that the application for the orders did not follow the requirements of the law and that state immunity applies to the premises as the acting head of Nigeria’s High Commission in London has certified that the properties are not in use or intended for use for commercial purposes.
“Neither property is recorded as diplomatic or consular premises or premises of the mission or residential property notified as a private residence of a member of the mission,” the approved judgement stated.
“None of those listed as resident there on publicly available databases have any connection with the mission,” it added.

Details
Zhongshan was issued the final charging orders following its efforts to enforce an investment treaty award of $70 million. An arbitral tribunal had on 26 March 2021 issued a final award of $55,675,000 in addition to an interest of $9.4 million and costs of £2,864,445 payable by Nigeria to Zhongshan.
Zhuhai Zhongfu Industrial Group Co Ltd group of companies, the parent company of Zhongshan, and the Ogun Guangdong Free Trade Zone (OGFTZ) entered into a framework agreement on the establishment of Fucheng Industrial Park within the zone on 29 June 2010. The agreement gave Zhuhan the right to develop and run Fucheng Park within the zone.
The Nigeria Export Processing Zones Authority registered Zhongfu International Investment (NIG) FZE, a subsidiary of Zhongshan, as a free trade zone enterprise within the OGFZ in 2011.
Ogun State later appointed Zhongfu as the interim manager/administrator of the zone.

In July 2016, Zhongfu alleged that the Ogun State Government was making efforts to terminate its appointment, adding that it planned to appoint another manager for the free trade zone to replace the Chinese investor.
Zhongfu launched an investment treaty arbitration against Nigeria on the strength of the bilateral investment treaty involving the People’s Republic of China and Nigeria.
In 2021, a London arbitration tribunal ordered Nigeria to pay Zhongshan the sum of $55.6 million in addition to interest and costs as compensation after finding the country liable for expropriation and other breaches of the China-Nigeria bilateral investment treaty.

Nigeria made an application to the Court of Appeal (civil division) of the Royal Courts of Justice in London in 2023, seeking to appeal against the judgement of Cockerill J, a high court judge, dated 2 December 2022.
The judge had dismissed Nigeria’s application to vary the order she made on 21 December 2021 on an ex parte basis in favour of Zhongshan for the enforcement of an arbitration award dated 21 March 2021 against Nigeria.

“Nigeria failed to comply with the generous time limit of two months and fourteen days to make such an application and, indeed, did not raise state immunity until 29 November, three months after the time limit expired,” the judgment delivered by the court of appeal on 20 July 2023 read.

“Nigeria failed to make any application within the time specified, and the Judge was amply justified in refusing relief for the reasons given by the Chancellor,” it added.
The court did not grant Nigeria’s wish to challenge the enforcement order. Last year, Zhongstan got interim charging orders on two Liverpool properties belonging to the Nigerian Government, which Nigeria opposed.

Nigeria said Zhongstan failed to give full and frank disclosure at the interim charging order stage, and therefore, the court ought not to exercise its discretion to make the charging order final.
“The properties are currently used for the purpose of leases to residential tenants unconnected with Nigeria and its Mission. Those are commercial purposes for the purpose of s13(4) of the SIA, and therefore, the enforcement against the properties is not barred by state immunity,” Ms Sullivan said in her judgment dated 14 June 2024.
“There is no good reason why I should not exercise my discretion to make the charging orders final, and I do so,” she added.

What has Biter Obi got to do with the protest , If he’s found wanting trying to overthrow the government he will go to jail for treasonable felony

Codepain:
You can’t leave a state that your Governor owe salaries and pay 15k as minimum wage to come and protest in Lagos. Anybody that want to protest should do so in his state. That a yam legged sister and flat head brother have sex in Lagos doesn’t make whatever creature come out of that Lagosian

frankyychiji:
They are just looking for a way to make Peter Obi tell his Obidient movement not to join in any protest, just like he told them not to protest on the street after what inec and APC did with the election.
Peter should continue to maintain his dignified silence. It's not in his place to tell Nigerians to protest bad leadership or not. Nigerians feel it and know the pains.

whatisthetruth:
■ Remember that in one of the poorest ccountries in the world, the senators decided that it is right and just to purchase vehicles for themselves worth 160 million naira.
Then one of them came on T.V and was bragging that he even has bigger cars than this 160M vehicle, to show that he was a big man, which begs the question, why then does he need another vehicle paid for by hungry citizens.
He also said that if he were to use corolla, given the state of the roads, it won't make it 5 trips because the roads are bad. So, you evil man, you know that the road is bad, but instead of lobbying for fixes, you lobby for one of world's most expensive vehicles.
Rulers in Nigeria have really taken Nigerians for granted.
Remember what the UK judge that ruled against Ibori said then, I think it was along the lines of "You stole from some of the poorest people in the world."
Even in America, Senators don't purchase vehicles with government money, so why should it be done in such a poor country filled with so many starving and out of school children? How wicked does one have to be to do this?

@ that price the diesel is still cheaper. anything to reduce the suffering of Nigerians right now will suffice. If he's playing a Nigerian Government script, great, they should deal with themselves, the refinery is a game changer in the issues of fuel subsidiary hike and the chain reactions we have right. we need the refinery up and doing to alleviate the suffering of Nigerians.
