We have a global recession but its only in Nigeria that prices are increasing instead of decreasing. Dear capitalist you will soon learn that nothing can pass garri or water in value. You are supposed to be strenuously reducing costs and ultimately the price you deliver to your customer. But rather you are increasing profits and still maintain so many non essential costs- .

Time will tell.

You will soon know that the customer or consumer has the greatest power. When they cannot afford it or boycott it. Anyhow sha I'm off processed foods and imported rice for the main time.

It still comes back to you. How have you been interpreting the law. What precedence has been set. Besides the DSS had to have done some investigating to know where and with whom it would find money (especially now we are hiding money on farmlands).


You cannot prosecute your own especially I criminal matters. It's clearly wrong. The CJN should not prosecute criminal cases of its members. Neither should the army or professional bodies. They can only give verdicts on disciplinary issues like lateness, absence from work, inappropriate dress or conduct etc
This is the right thing to do.

Personally cannot and will not believe this . PZ increased sales for where. Who has been buying their productshuh.
Companies that have archaic management and are not in touch with there customers. The country is flooded with SME soaps creating stiff competition and PZ still has a high cost of production and a long value chain.

Please trim your fat, reduce your expatriates, source locally and hear consumers. Your brand really does not matter. Consumers want quality at the right price. Your soaps getting smaller and costlier by the second.

Crime › FG Sues Agip Total-undeclared Oil Revenues by Origin(op): 2:41pm On Sep 21, 2016
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)

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.

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.

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!

Islam › Re: How Hajj Was Performed In 1953 And Now by Origin(f): 11:35pm On Sep 14, 2016
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.
