SamiraF:
I am very happy that Former Rivers State Governor Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi has taken such pains to detail his role in this helicopter matter. I hope Buhari, Osinbajo and EFCC, SFU, Police, Army and DSS are reading Amaechi's statement, which should be adopted as the chargesheet of his criminality and corruption.

Amaechi says ONSA contributed half of the cost of the 2 helicopters, that half being $15 million dollars.

The helicopters have been bought and imported, Nigerians can only assume, at the total cost of $30 million dollars.

Amaechi says that Goodluck Jonathan granted duty waiver.

Nigeria customs at Sahcol insists that the importer (Amaechi) paid duty of N11.8 billion naira.

The only incontrovertible fact here is that current Rivers State Governor Wike is not in possession of the true details since he is not the importer. Amaechi has admitted that he is in material fact the importer.

Can Aviation Minister Rotimi Amaechi please tell Nigerians how 2 Bell Helicopters manufactured in 2012, at a cost of $6 million dollars each became $15 million dollars each by the time he bought them?

Can Amaechi tell Nigerians what happened to the sum of N11.8 billion naira that he took from Rivers State Government coffers ostensibly as duty payments, for these 2 Bell Helicopters which he now admits he obtained duty waiver for?

For any doubting thomas that Amaechi looted Rivers State dry, every helicopter has a chassis number like a car. The 2 helicopters in question that are now impounded at Murtala Mohammed Airport can be tracked in detail.

Bell Helicopter 412EP, Chassis Number 36606 was manufactured in 2012, registered to Africair in Miami Florida - http://www.helis.com/database/cn/46148/

Bell Helicopter 412EP, Chassis Number 36608 was manufactured in 2012, registered to Africair in Miami Florida - http://www.helis.com/database/cn/46149/

Amaechi must account for the illicit profit of $18 million dollars he pocketed from claiming the helicopters cost $30 million dollars when in fact they cost $12 million dollars.

Amaechi must also account for the duty sum he removed from Rivers even though he knew the helicopters had duty waiver. In 2013/14, Amaechi would have converted that so called duty sum of N11.8 billion naira at CBN rate of around N160 to 1 dollar, that is $73.7 million dollars at the prohibitive duty that was actually waived. Customs has confirmed seeing documents for n11.8bn duty with no end-user certificate.

18 million dollars and 73.7 million dollars has disappeared in this Amaechi's sole trader of helicopters importation scam.

Nigerians are not blind, Amaechi must refund the $91.7 million dollars he stole in only 1 transaction.

Well well

Those folks are not normal!

They are absolutely normal on an Abnormal society.

olayinka63:
A leader should be wise in his actions. I can see everyone lauding his action without looking at any possibility of problem that may occur in the country as a result of his actions. If Gambians (majority) are satisfied with this then no problem. However, if they are not, then he just started political, religious war in that country.

What religious war are you talking about.

It's diplomatic move to change the perceptions about the country.

balanceofterror1:
This people are still dreaming like NgeneUkwenu. Buhari and APC bombed them three times and they are still waiting for Buhari's govt. to come and treat them. They don't even know that Buhari NgeneUkwuewu psalmsjob APCmyheart Sarrki are not happy that the bomb didn't kill all of them.

Was listening to a RC interview concerning the IDP case, what I heard was shocking, their is so much evil in this country.

I saw this coming, when most refugee keep matching towards Europe, while these rich Meddle East Nation suddenly keep quiet.

Even the Arab league kept quiet

I hope CNN and Aljazera will talk about this.

lastpage:
Customs did not lie about the buyer!

Infact, the Customs Boss (intentionally or otherwise) said They are YET TO IDENTIFY THE IMPORTER!

It would have been considered a "lie" if Mr. A imported it and the Customs said it was imported by Mr. B.

Customs did not even mention Amaechi's name anywhere in its interview.

BTW: Why is everyone keep mentioning Amaechi as the Importer when the Report put forward by Amaechi said it was a 'Joint Venture' between the River State Govt and private Oil Companies in the State?





Lastpage!

Ogbeni Lastpage,

Denial is also form lying.

That Chopper has been with the Costoms for over one year, and they are dynig not knowing the owners, abba!


So you agree that the choppers were imported by Rivers state government under Amaechi.

Whether it's JV with other oil coys, the government should have started the true pictures of everything before coming to press.

Instead of creating the impression some criminals illegally imported Choppers into the country.

fasterwell:
The Murtala Muhammed International Airport Command of the Nigerian Customs Service on Friday handed over two seized civil model Bell helicopters imported into the country by unknown persons to the Nigeria

You can see that the same aircraft was referred to as civil model and not armourd.

And where was it written that Col. Ali said so?

All i saw was NCS which is generic and not a spokeperson of NCS.

Even the guy who's name was witheld for whatever reason didn't know it was a military aircraft.

He described the handover as a milestone as the configuration of the aircraft was fitted for military combat operations.


He said the handover had presidential approval adding that all legal issues had also been considered.
CUSTOMS NAF SEIZED

If the Presidency is involved in the transfer, how would Col. Ali not be involved.

For you to claim Wike can bribe the costoms officer to make that comment, shows you don't know how govement NDA operate.

fasterwell:
And u believed it? Smh!

Even Wike can pay that customer officer to say what he said so he can counter the claim just to make PMB a liar.

As long as it was not from Garba Shehu or any of the spokepersons in the presidency. It is null

Just listen to yourself, how will Wike bribe Col .Ali to lie.

The customs claimed an unknown person imported Helicopter in the country and you believe them.
And they created the impression the unknown person is criminal.
Are criminals now unknown on Nigeria?

Why dont you just STFU!

Customs have transferred (by OUTRIGHT SEIZURE, which is what you are trying to avoid........ while playing "hold-in-custody" games with the Airforce!) the title of the helicopters to Nig Airforce, so whay all the noise?

or is that not what you said you want?

That Wike thinks he is smart but he has just been out-smarted.

Now, the Choppers belong to the Airforce! Not Wike or Rivers State anymore.




Lastpage!

NB: Most people commenting here have no idea the kind of games Wike is playing with the Airforce, Customs and the FG.
he said he wrote that the Choppers be "given" to the Airforce..... It has been given to the Airforce, so WHY IS HE SO AGITATED AS TO BE SENDING US ALL THESE RECIEPTS AND OTHER DOCUMENTS... when "buyer" was not the issue?

Because the costoms lied about the buyer, Ameachi.

fasterwell:
All of u calling and Shouting APC this and APC that should be ashamed of urselves for lacking common sense.

Was it the presidency that released a statement that the importers of the helicopters did not show up to claim it or some of ur colleagues who go about spreading falsehood online?

Was the request of Wike not implemented?

U laxy asses stay behind ur phones to spew nonsense.

A simple directive from Wike was implemented to the letter and u want Garba Shehu to give statement?

Wike knows too well that the aircrafts were meant for the Air Force which they ( GEJ, Wike and Dasuki) did not allow Ameachi to bring them into the country because politics.

So, why is he trying to take delivery of the same aircraft he worked against and denied access into the country?

That is not what the customs guys told Nigerians.

CHEKWAS1988:
the way this custom people packaged the news yesterday, that the helicopters was imported by yet to be unknown person.

chai!!!! APC y nah?
I rada die dan to vote for any APC candidate again. even if nah my papa dey contest.

Buhari..... RIP
opsssss!!! I mean Remain In Power

I knew those customs guys were no saying the truth.

hardywaltz:
Lie lie Governor
Amaechi bought those helicopters for pipe line surveillance but the vindictive ineffectual Buffon GEJ refused to release them.

https://www.google.com.ng/amp/www.premiumtimesng.com/regional/ssouth-east/129199-we-bought-two-helicopters-but-for-security-reasons-governor-amaechi-says.html/amp

Wike came on board and tried to collect them and was asked to pay the demurage and due to his lack of vision decided to forfeit it to FG

Just the way he refused to acknowledge Amaechi so also is the FG not acknowledging him.

Did you bother reading the before posting

And what did the girls stock

. Vanguard of Lies

So the rejoinder came before the event.

Nbote:
OP and other morons, how com d skool issued a rejoinder a day before Vanguard reported d news? For U claiming d paper is trying to stoke religious violence, has there been killings in southern kaduna by fulani herdsmen or not? Has there been killings in other parts by d same herdsmen or not? To think there wasn't much done all these while until ppl started calling for self defense den Una remember say una get mouth and can type abi? Northern leaders are claiming d ppl carrying out these attacks are aliens but yet "Aliens" came to surrender hundreds of AK 47s in Katsina jus a few days ago. I really do wish some of U can actually b in a position where ur voice isn't been heard, then I'll know whether u can com and spew d senseless and moronic thrash some of U spew online.

I am surprised they didn't bother read the dates on the rejoinder and the news

Tritri:

Oga some penny stocks should be avoided.

Fidelity thought me a bitter lesson.

Is this the same NOSPETCO or another one.

locodemy:
Bros there is no news at the moment that will drive it to 5.00 today.Perhaps,i want the stock to remain @ 4.50 level so if i jump out from sterling bank this week,i can go for Oando @4.50-4.70.

I started this year with the lord and i will be jumping from profit to profit in 2017 and so shall it be.

Loco the Oando Bus is on the move hope entered early

scopemarkets:
Pretty nice to see someone using Technical Analysis to trade the Nigerian market.

Permit me to kindly inform you that the 200 DMA might not mean much. I strongly recommend that you use the 260 DMA.

Why 260 DMA? There are 52 trading weeks in one year and 5 trading days per week.

Therefore finding the Daily Moving Average over 260 days (periods) makes more meaning than using 200 DMA.

Hope this helps?

Find time to attend our webinar at 11 am local time today.

Thanks!

Are you surprised.

Most traders here use both Technical Analysis and Fundamental Analysis on stocks.

Duh,

So the same government that created problems are also complaining.

makashava:
I think it is not a fair language to say someone is trapped in a particular investment,the technical and fundamental guiding the initial decision could be worth the action. Only time will justify that! For the various investor.Shorterm or longterm.if a company is healthy,the term "trapped" is not reconcilable. Profit is relatively the eminent goal, a function of time.

What will you tell investors who still got shares in, Starcomms, DAAR and Dunlop.

Are they trapped?

https://markets.ft.com/data/equities/tearsheet/forecasts?s=TRANSCORP:LAG

As of Jan 21, 2017, the investment analyst covering Transnational Corporation of Nigeria Plc advises that the company will outperform the market.

This has been the consensus forecast since the sentiment of investment analysts deteriorated on Nov 10, 2016.

The previous consensus forecast advised investors to purchase equity in Transnational Corporation of Nigeria Plc.

(SHARE PRICE FORECAST)

The 2 analysts offering 12 month price targets for Transnational Corporation of Nigeria Plc have a median target of 4.48, with a high estimate of 7.15 and a low estimate of 1.81. The median estimate represents a 453.06% increase from the last price of 0.81.

You didn't forecast investors negative perceptions of Transcorp.

How will transcorp bad books move the price North.

And how come you're predicting stockrmageddon for highly profitable stocks and forecasting positive outlook for transcorp?

HtwoOw:
May God and the gods of the land increase your wisdom


This is exactly what went through my mind


but i just chose not to talk yet

I won't be surprised if Suleman himself claims the letter is not from his church

Buhari has been out of the country 2 days before the incident occoured and he handed over to Osibanjo


Clearly if it was Presidency's order, it came from Osibanjo , but their hate for Buhari is the problem

You forgot Daura follows Buhari everywhere.

PETERiCHY:
First and foremost they are into POWER, ENERGY, HOSPITALITY and (AGRICULTURE which is now the IN-THING)

Secondly I vividly recall they did a successful RIGHT ISSUE @N1:00k per share in May 2013.

So the guns are yours.

Tony Elumelu, chairman of Transcorp Group and United Bank for Africa (UBA), says Nigeria’s power sector is a walking corpse, and it may collapse soon if no urgent action is taken.

https://www.thecable.ng/the-power-sector-is-a-walking-corpse-says-elumelu

Transcorp Power Holdings is owed almost N50 billion. When we put in the invoice for this month, we should be owed almost N54 or N55 billion. How do you survive in business like this? How? Other GenCos I know are actually dying.


.........The truth is Transcorp power, as a key operator in the sector, is struggling. And if we are struggling, you can imagine what others are going through


.......He said Transcorp was negotiating with GE to bring in turbines worth $500 million, but had to shelve the plan because the company could not secure the necessary foreign exchange for the deal.


Transcorp is no go area from now.

No group got the monopoly violence

TonyeBarcanista:
Did Jesus Christ or the early church "defended" themselves when attacked/persecuted by both the Judaisers and the Roman government?

Did Jesus and his early Church advocate for killing of "perceived" enemies?

To you and Mr Suleiman, Christianity is just a religion, to true Christians, Christianity is a faith and way of life.

BTW HAppy New Year!

So that is the new line, Christians should not defend themselves while their are been killed.

Can you tell that to the Americans.
