So many numerous fresh made in naija foods . I beg shun rice for a while.

People are just making some capitalists rich for nothing. Local rice is even cheaper than try the imported one, its more healthy, tastes delicious and swells like mad. .

Best part helps you to slim down, more fibre and you eat less get filled on time. (best for recession)

We understand there is a problem. I'm still waiting for our best economists in Naija to team up and give us a solution.


Still waiting for all the Accountants to give us solution to the forex issue.


So many brains yet.....

Please was the land allocated for the road from the onset. Or is that the government is just acquiring the land for the expansion.

We should probably scrap the NA if they cannot take serious wage cuts.
Wage cuts across board for all executive and judiciary too.

Can these machinery be manufactured locally. We have so many local fabricators. Steel companies etc.

Maybe they should ban dollar totally so we can hear word. Everyday importation? We just don't want to change.


The people that built this machineries and stuff what did they use? Else foreign companies that need our trade should settle for the naira.

The CBN obviously not doing it job right and should approve forex disbursements. Banks won't give out PTAs yet will declare as part of forex disbursements on the national dailies. We need more transparency on all banks forex usage.

Why is it that all American actors have some drama before the opening of a film. Just to create awareness for the film.

They were unmarried for many years. Divorce is just formalities.

God is great.

FG sues Agip, Total for $635 million undeclared crude oil shipment
By News Express on 20/09/2016

For not declaring their shares of crude oil shipments from the country between 2011 and 2014, multinational oil companies, Agip and Total are being sued by the Federal Government for $635 million in two separate cases. There are speculations that other multinationals would also be sued.

The Federal Government in the two cases is claiming the sum from the two companies as follows: Total E&P Nigeria Limited, $490,517,280 and Nigeria Agip Oil Company Limited, $145,848,102.


In the statements of claim filed before the court the Federal Government, which imported some foreign-based experts in the industry, is arguing that around 2014, it realised a decline in its oil export revenue. That development necessitated an intelligent gathering of data, which showed that part of the reasons for the decline was the under-declaration of crude oil shipments made by some major oil and gas companies operating in Nigeria.


According to thecable.ng.com, US citizen, Professor David Olowokere who is the lead Analyst at Loumos Group LLC, a technology and oil and gas auditing firm based in United States of America, Jerome Stanley, a counsel in the law firm of Henchy & Hackenberg, a law firm based in United States of America and head of the legal team engaged by Loumo Group LLC, made the court statements.


The third deponent is Michael Kanko, a citizen and resident of the State of Arizona, United States of America, who is the founder and the current Chief Executive Officer of Trade Data Services Company.


A forensic analysis of export records from Nigeria and the import records from respective ports of entry at the United States of America used by Agip and Total showed discrepancies.


The volume of crude oil declared to have been exported from Nigeria was less than what was declared to have been imported into the United States of America via the same shipment by the same vessel on the same bill of lading.


Some other shipments were not declared by the defendants to the requisite authorities, particularly the pre-shipments inspection agents. In some instances, the crude oil shipments were completely undeclared.


The plaintiff (Nigeria Government ) alleged further that all crude oil and gas shipments /exports from Nigeria are required to be declared and inspected by pre-shipment Agents appointed by the Central Bank of Nigeria of revenue due from the crude oil shipments.


The inspection records are to be deposited with ministry of finance Nigeria.


The Nigeria Government averred that high-technology information technology system, including satellite tracking systems, were deployed by consultants in gathering the various validated information establishing the shortfalls in the export declarations and the import declaration in the country of destination.


Court documents showed that 57 million barrels of Nigeria crude oil were illegally exported by Total E&P Nigeria Limited, Nigeria AGIP Oil Company, Chevron and other companies and sold to buyers in the United States of America between January 2011 and December 2014. The revenue due to Nigeria as a result of this under-declaration and non-declaration is $12,722,600,327 ($12.7billion Dollars) which translates to N2,493,629,664,092 (2.5Trillion Naira) at an official rate of 197 Naira to one US Dollar.


In one of the instances cited, Total E&P Nigeria Limited shipped crude oil using a vessel by name TRIATHLON to Tostsa Total Oil Trading SA of San Felipe Plaza-Suite 2100,5847SAN FELIPE, 770557-HOUSTON United States at the port of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States of America with a bill of lading number TCVMTRIATIA 1388. The shipment was not declared to the relevant authorities resulting in the shortfall of 968,784 barrels of crude oil in the value of $106,566240 as revenue to the Government,


Another under-declared crude oil was estimated at 491,850 barrels with a value of $54,103,500. It was shipped aboard a vessel named NORTH STAR and sold to BP Products North America of 501 Westlake Park Boulvard, Houston, TX 77079 United States, at port of Texas City, with bill of lading DROESVD 23091101.


On two different occasions 768,990 barrels of crude oil, valued at $84,588,910 was loaded on a vessel named AUTHENTIC. It was Shipped to Socap International Limited of Cannon’s court, 22 Victoria Street, Hamilton, HM12.Bermuda at the port of Chester Pennsylvanian, United States bill of lading ALMYSVDM17041101 and17041102


The Nigerian government seeks an order of the court compelling Total E&P Nigeria Limited to pay into the Federal Government of Nigeria account with the Central Bank of Nigeria, $245,258,640 being the total value of the missing revenues from the shortfall/under-declared/undec lared crude oil shipments of the Federal Government of Nigeria.


Government also wants the oil firm pay General damages of $245,258,640 and Interest on the said sum at the rate of 21 percent per annum until the entire sum is liquidated.


The case has been adjourned till next week for hearing.


In a separate suit, the Federal Government of Nigeria alleges that Total E&P Nigeria Limited on 16 June 2014 lifted crude oil on board the vessel named VALUE. The firm shipped the cargo to Philadelphia Energy Solutions of 1735 Market street Philadelphia, PA USA at the port of Wilmington, Delaware, United States of America with Bill of lading number SEUK9HA21304143.


Government claims that the shipment was not declared to relevant authorities resulting in the shortfall of 175,334 barrels of crude oil in the value of $38,573,561as revenue to Federal Government of Nigeria.


On 27 June, 2011, Nigerian Agip Oil Company Limited lifted crude oil on board a vessel named COSMIC and shipped same to Eni TradinG & Shipping B.V. of Strawinskylaan 1641-Tower C/16 1077C XX. Again, government claims that the shipment was not declared to the relevant authorities resulting in a shortfall of 467,614 barrels of crude oil in the value of $107,274,990 as revenue to the Federal Government


Despite letters written by the legal representative of the Federal Government for payment of the shortfall, the company had failed to make any payments to the Federal Government.


The Federal Government of Nigeria now claims against Nigeria Agip Oil Company Limited:


– An order compelling the company to pay into Federal Government of Nigeria ‘so account with central bank of Nigeria the total sum of $145,848,551being the total value of the missing revenues from the shortfall/under declared/undeclared crude oil of the Federal Government
– Interest at the rate of 21percent per annum until the entire sum is liquidated.
– General damages in the sum of $145,848,551.and the cost of this legal action. (NAN)

ladyF:
Very silly if you ask me. These guys seem to have lost direction. Why would FG go into negotiations with private financial institutions to tell them not to retrench workers in a period of recession. You implemented TSA and it hit them hard.

Do you know what their profit margin is? Oya the FG should come and pay the bank workers na. So if the banks are making a loss presently, they should keep staff the way they are because the Federal Government told them to abi? Who the government epp?

It's [size=15pt]LadyF[/size] again

[size=5pt]Make I go continue my search for Skrill funds...freelancers, forexers, biko epp me. N390/$[/size]

Probably the same reasons the banks were bailed out with taxpayers money when the ogas mismanaged funds. Few executives forfeited their assets and are still unwilling to do so. Wage cuts should be the first line of action as recession is not indefinite.

I beg who said "I love you" first.
There is no how this won't happen.
There was a day I had an original thought and I googled it. Someone already said it.
The only thing is they wrote it down first.

Are we saying people own words now.

If there are 100billion in the world. What's the probability they've thought the same things, said the same things worn the same things.

Sometimes I don't comment on nairaland because someone already said the same thing I wanted to say. So I just press like.

I have been doing all that and I don't need this silly administration to tell me to do so.
Change can not begin with me when you copied the idea from someone and refuse to give him any credit for it.
I cannot be an promoter of fraud and plagiarism.

Copied idea. This thing Na common sense bit most people no de use am hence the need for a reminder.

You can plagiarize anyone that talks too much. I love you( who talk am first)

You people are looking for trouble. Which area is this because there is no wild in Lagos. Before he go land front of house. Heart attack go kill person.

Dear OP,

You dream about your fears. Though I believe they are unfounded. Please do not tag a woman a witch due to her barrenness or her been unmarried.

Would you ever pray to be tagged or treated that way. Please find ways of mature reconciliation. Find ways of sleeping properly.

I beg make we chop beans small.

Cheating 101.
Use metal detectors and ensure there are no phones, microphones, cameras, laptops, tape recorders, fancy pens, bedside clocks , wristwatches in the vicinity of your cheating.
Put off all the lights, draw the shades and don't make a sound (in case the room is bugged).


Enjoy yourself!


PS-even cars have cameras and tracking listening devices. Surveillance devices are cheap and rampant so think twice of this hungry boys.

Debt debt debt debt debt debt debt (singing).

Living life filled with debt. Most of this phones at contract so its cheap to obtain but its serviced for a long time.

Funny though this same people will post on ebay and ship to Nigeria and ma people will pay full value. Lets see who is the wisest.

What a story.

She has been doing it for six years and you can't take a hint. Please get a cook.
Also get her a job. That alone could lead to depression. Full time housewife is depressing.


.... .Dear I want to buy pant, ehn makeup, ehn transport.


Best sit together and discuss find out what's going on with your left rib.

I'm going to answer some earlier posts:
Muslims undertake pilgrimage to Mecca and even Aqsa in Jerusalam. It's like tracing your roots which we can trace back to prophet Abraham.

Muslims believe in miracles and prophet Muhammad performed many miracles.
The best miracle about prophet Jesus was in his birth (which if it happened today would never be believed) whereas his resurrection still happens till today (few cases of people waking up in mortuaries or after been declares dead). Everyday in the life of a muslim is a miracle for which he thanks God constantly.

Prophet Muhammad's greatest miracle was the Quran which some claimed were copied from earlier religious books yet he could neither read nor write. People however believed his call to the worship of One God because of his integrity and truthfulness.

I'm not going to read this because of the "I heard".


I heard, them say destroys life.

They thought you would be too hungry to notice.

Why you self open gala?

Capitalists behaviour everywhere. People are even selling local rice at exorbitant prices.

Even imported rice that would first land Lagos before going inwards is more expensive in Lagos than in other states.

Na we just de do ourselves.

Ego Boyo the woman who gave us pure entertainment every Thursday night.

You had passion. You had grace. You had charm.

Obviously there is a demand in Italy and a supply in some parts of Africa.

What's government's own when this girls often leave with their parents' consent.

The end product is still market for SCOAN who will do deliverance when the girls finally decide to marry.

I support. Every single person must be held accountable to good behaviour.

Ask not what your country can do for you(ALWAYS)Ask what you can do for Nigeria.

Aufbauh:
All these unpatriotic disposition by some disgruntled elements especially those who have not seen anything in life before is pathetic,pitiful and shameful.

Wishing that what you have should burn or where you are is the most pathetic place to be is a negative mentality and retrogressive way of life that can only turn you to be a victim and not a victor.

The only that could be affecting them is the loot that Bukhari has collected. People are making a change individually and collectively. Putting Nigeria on the map, our language our fashion our music our movies are being exported globally and are smiling to the bank. But some people still sits on their oars waiting for dash money.



Maybe they are not Nigerians. Naija no de fall hand. Na Bastar.d de use left hand identify him papa house.


PS- electricity has really improved in my area.

The amount of blocked drainages due to dirtiness are too many. The government should start enforcing stiff fines for houses that do not carry out sanitation. Sewage disposal trucks too must be monitored (once a month is unhygienic and unsanitary)


When last did YOU engage in environmental sanitation.

shyling:
Nigeria will never be great again. I am not united with you. I am not patriotic. Unless the country is restructured and power devolved to the LG's. Fiscal federalism. Until then Nigeria is doomed. Ain't gonna join you in any protest elections or anything because the country is doomed!

Back to sender, I wish you your strong words. Just because this is anonymous does not mean we cant be civil. If you choose slavery, go and find a master. Nigeria is a success with lots of potential. Its quite obvious you are definitely not Nigerian. Someone abuses my home and fatherland, I give them hell.

The true heroes .
One naija.


Not like the armchair cowards instigating people to breakup as if cutting head is the solution for headache.
