hopefulLandlord:The only man of God who is still maintains the ''PASTOR'' title. Others have become bishop, apostle, senior pastor, etc. I thought he didn't like showing off though. Why is he now trying to make Buhari feel bad, by walking that distance. I heard he drove from shagamu to lagos with reverse, blind folded. |
Isn't that Saraki's Bank? |
Sequel to our exclusive story earlier this month about abandoned oil rigs at the outer Marina in Lagos, Vanguard learnt that the rigs may have been seized by FirstBank of Nigeria Plc for alleged debts of about N25 billion owed by Seawolf Oil Services Limited, owners of the rigs. As a result, the two rigs – Onome and Oritsetimeyin, may not have been abandoned after all, but kept under watch by FirstBank. This is happening as more than 450 workers of the company demand payment of N3 billion allegedly owed them since August, 2013. The DPR claim The unfolding scenario is contrary to the claim by the Department of Petroleum Resources, DPR, the industry regulator, that the two rigs were undergoing repairs. Vanguard’s Sweetcrude in its February edition had reported the unusual presence of the two rigs at the Marina, but the DPR had dismissed it as not ‘being out of place.’ Even now, the industry regulator has not the faintest idea why the rigs are at the Marina, because when contacted, a top official of the agency, who preferred anonymity insisted that the rigs were not abandoned. “What we are saying is that as long as the rigs have no issue, they are not abandoned,” he argued. But curiosity about the presence of the rigs at the Marina was borne out of the fact that rigs are usually found in oil producing areas. But on further investigation, Vanguard discovered that the two rigs were seized because of mismanagement of funds by Seawolf. Rigs were working for Total, Addax It was learnt that while the rig named Oritsetimeyin was working for Total E&P Nigeria, Onome was working for Addax Petroleum Development Company, with each generating $130,000 daily. Things started to fall apart when the directors of Seawolf were alleged to have been diverting the company’s funds for personal use. First was the $11 million given by Total meant to train the staff and buy equipment for the rig, which could not be accounted for, which led to cancellation of the contract. Also, the company refused to service the N25 billion loan it took from FirstBank. These led to the gradual grinding of operations of the once flourishing oil servicing company wholly owned by Nigerians. When the company could no longer function, it terminated the employment of its more than 450 workers in August 2013, without paying their entitlements. AMCON takes over Consequently, the Asset Management Company of Nigeria, AMCON, was compelled to take over Seawolf and the two rigs involved. However, the workers are asking for their salary arrears, terminal benefits and other entitlements as enshrined in the Collective Bargaining agreement, CBA, they signed with Seawolf. Some of the workers’ claims include: non-payment of outstanding salaries till date; end of contract bonus; non-payment of overtime; public holiday and weekend bonuses; non-provision of medical services which led to the alleged death of one Patrick Akpan. Others are an unremitted pension deduction not remitted; non-payment of leave allowances and leave not spent; and non-payment of 3.5 percent yearly increment. AMCON fails to honour agreements In pursuit of their entitlements, the workers approached the Ministry of Petroleum Resources for intervention and to facilitate their payment. In one of the meetings said to have held on November 10, 2014, at the NNPC towers in Abuja, it was resolved that Seawolf receiver manager (AMCON) should verify claims of the workers and effect payment. Attendants at the meeting included officials of the Ministries of Petroleum Resources, Labour and Productivity, AMCON, and joint representatives of junior and senior workers unions— NUPENG and PENGASSAN national branches. However, Vanguard learnt that this was not effected in the letter. In another meeting held on January 26, 2015, at the conference room of the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, it was resolved that under three weeks, AMCON should verify workers’ claims, make payment and report back to the Ministry of Petroleum Resources. The resolution was also ignored. Thereafter, the workers have become agitated and are set to mobilise to compel AMCON to pay them as agreed by the parties involved in the negotiations. Contacted, a source in FirstBank, who chose to remain anonymous, said although the bank gave such a loan to Seawolf, due process was followed. He said: “Loan to Seawolf is long standing. Due process was followed. Two years ago, it was reported in the annual general meeting of the bank. Right now, it is no longer FirstBank’s loan. It is an AMCON issue. AMCON has taken over and every other enquiry about it should be forwarded to AMCON. It is now an AMCON business.” AMCON offers no defence When Vanguard sought the reaction from the spokesman of AMCON, Mr. Kayode Lambo, he said he was busy and offered to call back in about 10 minutes time. When Vanguard called back later after waiting for his call for more than 30 minutes, he did not take his call and neither did he respond to a text message sent to him in that regard.

Top three military commanders in the army, navy and air force were Wednesday, replaced in Turkey, Presidential spokesperson said on Wednesday. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had agreed to the changes, his spokesperson Ibrahim Kalin said, after a four-hour meeting in Ankara chaired by Prime Minister Binali Yildirim. Kalin said that their tenure was over and did not provide other details. Military Chief of Staff, General Hulusi Akar retained his position. The changes were made during a meeting of the Supreme Military Council, the highest body responsible for appointments and removals within the armed forces. Since the failed coup in July 2016, 151 generals had been arrested, along with 1,600 other officers, said Interior Minister Efkan Ala in July. In all, some 5,200 soldiers had been arrested.

Plankton2017:This guy, u r very lucky!!!! I say u r lucky because u still have a chance to live peacefully on earth. A bad marriage is like living in hell on earth. Assuming I wake up from dream now, and it's the day of my wedding, people are in church sitting down, reception venue set, i'll happily dress up casually, go to the church and beg everyone not to be disappointed. You still have a week to think if u can cope. As for what you told ur cousin, I'm guessing you should ve said it either to your wife or to your cousin infront of your wife. But that doesn't give her the audacity to speak to you in that manner. Women these days have lost it. They are morally bankrupt. |
seguno2:Get out of here. |
seguno2:The politicians and government officials destroying this country, dnt they have this knowledge and adequate education? It's the trickle down effect. |
Tochex101:Dnt blame them. The hoodlums thought there was money (something of value) in the pot. This is the mentality of all Nigerians. Once we see something valuable, we destroy it for our own selfish interest. |
On clicking the submission link, I did not. I thought once your time is up, the system will automatically force you to click on submit and then log out. But to my surprise, it logged us out immediately. I asked the coordinators that I didn't submit and the time is up, and he told me it's not a problem. I further asked how about if I try signing in again and he said I should try. I did that but the system displayed this message '' you have either submitted or your time is up'' My take on this is that submission is NOT required. If it is, then too bad. |
We all shouldn't worry. Very soon the cat will come out of the bag. I advice we all just wait for 2019 elections. If Buhari doesn't come out to campaign around the 36 states and FCT, then he is not fit to be president. Vote ATIKU |
