Work and loads of work to catch on my brother. How have you been, it is season of maritime trade as we are in summer, calmer seas and more business deals to handle and deliver.

Hope you cool though?

I'm doing great. Feels good to see reasonable folks create and manage wealth. God bless you more and more.

Only you and your hopeless family wanted the Democrat gone

Ewu Gabon

I'm very sure you said this out of personal familial experience.

Hope Gbawe ignores this.

Mynd44:
That is a triceratop

I wonder if it was "found" there or taken there. How come we never heard of any such discovery all this while??

From the topic, what I expected to see was palaeontologists working at a site and not the pics above. Sure it is a dinosaur's remains, but I have some doubts about its origin (Bonny).

PassingShot:
Did you read the article or you just made the post for the sake of FTC?

Would it have made any difference if he had read the article?? . Seems you expect too much from "Patrick".

OREMUSSANCTUS:

Of course I didn't expect you to understand.

OREMUSSANCTUS:
Blame Buhari for dis
And also d nigerians dat want change
Change dem no go see

Patrick in Spongebob Squarepants would envy you for this comment, if you know what I mean.

tit:
you people can never respond with logic.
reality is soon going to hit you between the eyes.
how much did you say is the cost of groundnut oil?
how many barrels can you produce in a day?

More musings from a palpitating TANoid facing imminent death.

@ bold: How ironic! Rotflmao.

Where are you speaking from sir; Indian Ocean or the Atlantic?? Oh, perhaps the Lagoon. I think that would make a perfect place for the asylum you seek.

Poor photoshop.

Musings of a palpitating TANoid at the throes of death.

stebell:
Like I said earlier, yu are good at spreading hate among tribes.
Welldone.

Dumber comment.

No one on the forum campaigns against tribal bashing more than myself. That I can boast of. Lalasticlala and Seun can bear me witness.

Regardless, you must be very dumb.

Face of a drug baron.

The few people that would have held the party together, who commanded respect from party members across the country, are no longer in the party; they've been pushed out, and now, no one is left to nudge warring factions in the right direction and prevent an imminent implosion of the behemoth.

Out PDP, enter APGA.

atlwireles:
You make me laugh, Mr Multi IDs. Please keep on swearing.

Musings of a delusional troll....

See how heavily the children of anger and anguish have descended on this thread trying so hard to derail it.

Not a single dime from these proceeds of monumental corruption ever got to their pockets. Most of them are unemployed, and at best case scenario, undermployed, yet they insist the status quo is "Eutopic" simply because they "hate" Buhari.

Some of them even swore they'd "die seven times" if Buhari wins the elections, yet they shamelessly come around spitting bile and defecating on every single thread that exposes the rot that is Jonathan's admin.

What a sorry bunch.

All these stuffs we are getting, believe me, are but just the tip of the iceberg. When the incoming government takes over proper, the sort of rot and sleaze which characterised Jonathan's government would be laid bare for us to see and a lot of folks within and outside the boundaries of this forum would be put to shame.

Not funny to me.

atlwireles:
You are now swearing , you will do now than swearing soon.

You sound really erratic. Cool down brah, "you are still embarrassing yourself".

I don't even understand why anyone would wanna blame this man for PDP's woeful outing at the polls. He wasn't the campaign coordinator and the downfall of the party which started during the defection of Atiku and the governors didn't happen under his watch. Matter of fact, PDP managed to get some people who left back into the party due to Muazu's diplomatic manoeuvres. When the president's wife's utterances were making it impossible for them to operate in the north, they complained but the president turned a blind eye.

Jonathan was a terrible administrator, put up a terrible team to manage his campaign, and had what was coming for him, period.

Whether Muazu survives or not is really not my business anyway. PDP can go to hell for all I care. APGA would make a better opposition.

atlwireles:
why not keep your miserable multi moniker life to yourself.

Hahhaha. I could swear upon whichever God you worship I've got just this moniker. Can you do the same Spongebob Squarepants?? Keep embarrassing yourself.

theV0ice:
The anticipation of what the cabinet will look like is putting spin doctors in a frenzy....its expected I must say.

However, may 29th is almost here.....then we'll know those to help Nigeria get on her feet again though I see no sign from my 'oracle' that indicates the omission of Amaechi, Fashola and Fayemi

So for now, the conspiracy theorists should zip up a d stop all the hysterical reportage

They will all be put to shame in the end.

atlwireles:
You are a lie, a walking example of all things wrong with this country. Keep it to your side of the line.

Oga, just as the gentleman said, stop embarrassing yourself. You aren't making any sense at all.

midolian:
Buhari killed innocent children n women during biafran war? SMH for u


..And when will you stop cum*ming? Remember you are on a public forum.

No mind the mumu, e be like say him just discover the word.

The best way Buhari could put these noisemakers to shame is to develop the SE and SS way more than "their pikin" did in 5years plus, and I'm very optimistic that's the plan he's got up his sleeves.

vecman22:
I was invited to a church today, (redemption army ministry kaduna) and was so surprise to see our dear sanator.she came up to preach abt evangelism...i could not believe my dear eyes.. she den moved d preaching to politics were she cried, sorry talked about Jonathan lost and d whole pdp loss.....When will they all stop crying and embrace change?

She also said she is going back to are calling which is to be a pastor... in her mind

I guess Jonathan became the devil after he lost since we've not seen him squatting and kneeling before everyone who owns a church after the elections.

DickDastardly:
You mean Cramjones the dreamer

You know who.

ClassyAdewumi:
This dude analyses politics with class., but who would have thought this would be is room and also this is how he would look like. Guess who is in this Picture!

Lmao. Most likely the Beggarly Ministerial Aide.

stebell:
The OP is gud at inciting hate against the Ijaws.

But his plans won't work.
See his head like unripe mango.

Very dumb comment. Typical of Jonathanians; tribe, religion, region.

Mogidi:
Too late.

Too late to do what exactly??

Xsolutions:
And that is the mistake people ALWAYS make...they think 'HUMILITY' and talent or gift are one and the same...I WISH

Abi. And the outcome of the fight proves me right.

Cc: Lalasticlala.

Norwegian Defence Chief, Haakon Bruun-
Hansen, an admiral, has apologised to the
country’s lawmakers for the sale of a fleet
of a decommissioned naval battleships and
combats boats to a former Niger Delta
militant, Government Ekpemupolo, also
known as Tompolo.

Mr. Ekpemupolo was the leader of one of
the several militias in the Niger Delta
region that led a devastating campaign of
violence against the Nigerian state for
several years until he was awarded a multi-
billion pipeline protection contract by the
out-going Goodluck Jonathan administration as part of an amnesty deal with ex-combatants.

After giving up fighting, surrendering his arms, and leading his men to hand over their weapons, Tompolo in 2012 received at least six decommissioned Norwegia battleships, a Norwegian newspaper, Daglabet, found in December.

Among them were six fast-speed Hauk-
class guided missile boats, now re-armed
with new weapons.

The most recent hardware was the KNM
Horten, a fast-attack craft allegedly used
for anti-piracy patrol in the Nigerian
waters.

Daglabet reported that the sale was
implemented through a shell maritime
Security Company based in the United
Kingdom, CAS Global.

CAS Global was used to evade a requirement by Norway that arms dealers obtain export license from their country’s foreign affairs ministry, the report adds.

Mr. Ekpemupolo runs Global West Vessel
Service, which handles maritime security
issues for the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA.

After the deal became public in December,
the Director General of NIMASA, Patrick
Ziakede Akpobolokemi, claimed the
vessels were purchased as part of a Public
Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement in
conjunction with the Nigerian Navy. He
said the Navy has rearmed the vessels to
enable it effectively carried out its anti-
piracy patrol.

“As an arm of the government responsible
for maritime safety, security and regulations amongst others, we work in conjunction with
the Nigerian Navy and other relevant security agencies to use their men and arms to patrol and provide safety of the country’s water ways, as mandated by the global body, the International Maritime Organisation (IMO).

“It is the Navy that has fitted their guns on the vessels to aid their policing of the maritime domain,” he said.

The Norwegian government also, at the time, defended the transaction, according to Daglabet newspaper, saying the export “followed correct procedure and terms of export to Great Britain.

The re-export from Great Britain to Nigeria is a question to be handled solely by British export control authorities”.

But the report that Norway sold such military hardware to an individual with a history of violence angered the country’s lawmakers and triggered an investigation leading to the arrest of three Norwegian civil servants, now being charged for corruption.

Speaking during a parliamentary disciplinary committee enquiry into the sale of the battleships this week, the defence chief, Mr. Bruun-Hansen, admitted that military officials did not do proper due diligence before selling the decommissioned ships.

“The fact that the vessels have landed in Nigeria under Nigerian flag reflects a breakdown in our systems, and I apologize for that,” Mr. Bruun-Hansen said during Thursday’s hearing.

Mr. Bruun-Hansen was not the Chief of Defence at the time when the battle ship were sold to CAS Global.

News bureau NTB reported that Mr. Bruun-Hansen’s predecessor, Harald Sunde, who was in-charge when the deal was struck, also apologised saying he was disappointed over all the mistakes made.

He however blamed the breakdown of due diligence in the sale of the vessel to a reorganisation at the defence department’s logistics organization (FLO), at the time the
sales was made.

Also speaking during the hearing, Norwegian Foreign Minister, Børge Brende, said a lot about the sale and export of the vessels are still not known and the state prosecutor has been ordered to seek possible criminal violations.

Dagbladet, which uncovered the shady deal, reported that a simple google search would have revealed that CAS Global only had a post office address, yet the military went ahead and allowed Nigerian representatives of the firm, probably handpicked by Mr. Ekpemupolo, to
inspect the vessels before they were sold.
“Does this mean that anybody can buy these boats, as long as they sign a declaration?” asked an irate Member of Parliament, Erik Skutle. “Even terrorists? How on earth could this happen?” he added.

During the hearing, Petter Jansen, the head of FLO also tried unsuccessfully to answer questions about another revelation by Dagbladet that Norwegian military had
another former Norwegian Coast Guard vessel, the KV Titran, through a South African brokerage company, Nautic Africa, which in turn sold the vessel to an unnamed Nigerian company.

Mr. Jansen admitted that that transaction didn’t also follow due diligence.
