I think this information should not be out to the public. If a kidnapper knows they'll be tracked if they use phones, they'll opt for another means of communication...Just go ahead and purchase whatever is needed quietly. It's the result we will celebrate.

Nice goal from Felix...

afrodoc2:
A decent first step but there is still more work to be done, and yes i like how it was handled in secrecy.

Hopefully going forward, we will wrap up deals for players without the usual drama that has characterized our business in the market in recent times.

I just love the fact that the move was kept under wraps until it was concluded.

Finally, we get a CEO who knows a thing or two about football...Early days but still, it's a good move.

Way too many idiots on Nairaland. You guys don't read so, you litter every topic with your rubbish takes...

donjazzet:
I guess this all makes sense now. You can't support this terrible government if you don't have a somewhat close connection to it.

No wonder he can't bring himself to actually be objective about the perils of this terrible APC administration.
I guess I can congratulate him on being part of the class that would have a finger in our national cake. You can't begrudge a nigga that. At least now, the pretentious lens of objectivity and unbiasedness falls away.

Key take away from here; Every single soul who supports this wicked government has a personal agenda, be it sentimental or material.

Sometimes, all it takes is for you to have the right ideas and someone who can help you push it...Some folks that are benefitting from the government of the day did not even support Tinubu.

Wetin dey happen for here?

Make DonJ come congratulate Oasis...🤣🤣🤣

OasisX:


.....took us 5 months but we get it finally. My team on ground really tried. Its time to cook for the state.

Congrats bro...

BlueRayDick:
Tunji ojo used his position as a public officer(Minister) to get another public officer (Betta Edu) award a contract to a company he is most likely the majority shareholder. The law didn't say it must be a ministry u control .

As long as he isn't part of the procurement committee (Vendor verification committee/bid opening/technical evaluation committee/financial evaluation committee/contract award committee) then he doesn't have a case to answer...If it was his ministry, all he would need to produce is the document where he acknowledged that his being a member of the Committee would conflict with his interest. Once he makes it known that he has an interest in the company, he will be excused from being part of the process...This is assuming the contract was from his ministry...

One can lay claim to him using his position to influence things but there's no proof whatsoever however, it is best to avoid such scenarios as a public servant.

Expert, Onana's agent will soon come and ask you guys if DDG has gotten a club yet.

DissTroy:
I've always insisted here that a lot of monies made by state governments do not reflect in IGRs. Just local-search "DissTroy IGR state government".

Then there's the very lucrative Cross River - Akwa Ibom stretch of the ocean. The Cameroon - Calabar - Oron - Ibeno belt. Shark fishing and fishing trawlers are bought with government monies but never reflected in the IGR. Monies made from the blue economy are never reflected in financial statements.

It's the reason I pay more attention to what is happening in my state. Governors will be quick to point to the sharing formula at the national level where the FG takes the greater percentage but they never talk about the revenue they generate in their states which is not reflected in the financial records of the state. Most States generate 3 times the IGR they report the rest is stolen.

GloriousGbola:
And the Chinese are watching these slow witted niggers following in the steps of their ancestors selling out resources for peanuts.

A forward looking leader would set up an entire wood industry and ensure plans are in place to replenish the harvested trees.

But in the end Africans gonna African.

It's worrying that we just can't seem to get the simple things right.

raumdeuter:
A few weeks ago, there was a video trending on whatsapp how Chinese are loading trailer loads of timber along Ogoja to Vandekya road. The proceeds probably don't get reported in govt earnings

The timber is from Boki LGA of Cross River...Successive state governments come in and get their people to run the illegal logging business...

Ayade enriched his immediate family, friends and himself with illegal logging and now, Otu is doing the same...They are logging but not planting new trees...So much money is made but does not go to the coffers of the state.

BlueRayDick:
Can u imagine ? I believe the reason why states and LGA's allow such illegal mining/exploration to go on with their blessing is due to the law that says everything beneath the ground belongs to FG.

They prefer tapping those resources illegally without losing a large chunk of the proceeds to FG who will only give them whatever minute percentage is stated in the constitution as derivatives. They prefer having greedy & unscrupulous foreigners mine it and remit sizeable part of the proceeds to them.

U will be surprised that after some successful raids on those illegal gold mining site by ur neighbor and his team, those financing the illegal mining might either bring him in to arrange for his settlement or they silence him

I did not want to add the bolded but it is the fact. They are released almost immediately. He stopped working with the police because most times, the miners somehow get wind of their planned sting operation and evacuate before they get there...

BlueRayDick:
The state government is aware, they just do not want to accept their complicity in the tragic event. Below was what the security adviser to the governor of Oyo State said when he was on Channels TV:

I do not get why the solid minerals we have are left to the hands of illegal miners when the government should be raking in billions of dollars from the sale of these minerals. I reckon the money we get from crude oil exploration is not comparable to what we'd get from the vast mineral resources around the country.

Maybe the politicians have decided that the oil money is for the country but the money from solid minerals is for their pockets alone because I don't understand why the government will sit and watch so-called illegal miners doing their thing.

BlueRayDick:
Perhaps this is why the governor is unwilling to divulge much

The corruption in this country is mind-blowing. I only got to know that there's gold in Obanliku LGA and the Chinese are there mining. The state government is aware but it is kept under wraps because they're benefitting from it. How did I know? I had a neighbour who works with the Military Intelligence but Baba lied that he was working for the Red Cross in a bid to stay undercover. I wasn't sure so, I deliberately arranged a sitting with my folks from the Red Cross and invited him and just as suspected, it turned out that they didn't know him. It was only then he opened up to me. He used to lead combined team of military personnel to raid the mining sites.

A lot of shady things are happening...

BlueRayDick:
Seyi Makinde’s interview with Seun Okinbaloye on the identity of those behind the foreign company carrying out illegal mining and storing explosives in residential premises

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C2NvbXIM3hW/?igsh=aGVmZmJ6bGJzNXVq

They shouldn't have waited up until there's a disaster to do the right thing...Explosives should be properly stored.

I doubt the state government is not aware of the mining activities in the state or the presence of these miners...

Mrviktor:
While bruno is wayward

He always trying..

Mainoo is too safe


Counter attacking football doesn't enjoy safe

Please stop typing BS...Do you want a player who is playing that deep to be as careless with the ball as a player in a more advanced role?

Imagine the guts they have attempting to drive from Abuja to Kano. Are there no military checkpoints along that route?

With a good security architecture, it will be very difficult to kidnap anyone...Deploy security forces along the major highway and ensure there's 24/7 patrol.

Roland17:
Like how the US Navy Seals rescued US citizen Phillip Walton who was held hostage in northern Nigeria with no noise. It was quick and clean, no noise.

It is the only way to record any success else their collaborators in the military will leak the information to them.

At this point, no one is safe.

We should be signing a winger and a DM if we want to salvage what is left of the season.

Where the money wey Sir Jim bring come na?

Mrviktor:
This mainoo no sabi work tight spaces

You and your rubbish takes...

No Son, Sarr, Kulusevski and Bissouma...We have no excuse.

KDB is who he thinks he is...Man's a baller...

Expert should not be allowed to post here again. So many off takes...

airmark:
It's left for Eruditor (Android17) to type epistles against Chatgpt.

Very dull boy, I will be surprised if he finished secondary school.

Eruditor (Android 17): Height is a talent.

Chatgpt : Height is not a talent.

TrebleChamp:
Dortmund should kindly show him the best love by signing him permanently after his loan spell.

Hehehe

akwesenana:
10m Euros.
Maybe the gaffer believes Tyrell Malacia is the future of the LB.

In the next 3 years, Benfica will most likely be selling him for a huge profit to a top club. That boy is super talented.

Fabrizio is reporting that it is most tv likely a loan deal...Abeg o!

Itsrm:
But let's be realistic here. Is there any government official who is not a shareholder of one company or another? Should they all be forced to resign because the companies where they are shareholders get government contracts?

Osinbajo for instance is a major shareholder of a telco company. That telco company got a big contract from INEC last year. Should he have resigned too?

In any such case, they are supposed to sign a conflict of interest declaration form thus they'll be excused from the process leading to the award of such a contract.

If it is established that he used his influence to secure the contract then he has to go, there's no two ways about it...

HNICEARTH:
Well, you have to apply again, which is quite different from going on secondment-what bwala did.
So he has to go back to his ward and pick up membership card again, while Bwala dont have to do that.

Not necessary...

Watch the full interview, it will help you get a grip of your self

I ask you a question and you have provided insight. The part I trashed was not called for.

Thank you.

HNICEARTH:
English hard for una.

He was a member of APC. He resigned his membership and moved to another party. Means he ain't coming back.

Daniel Bwala is a member of APC. He never resigned his membership but defected/moved to the PDP while still having his APC membership intact. So, he daniel can always move back to APC because he never resigned.
Simple!

So, if you resign from a company you can't work in the same company in the future?

I dey wait for your answer.
