Adakintroy: Can't disagree with you at less. We need experience. But good striker cost a fortune. In this carzy market. We are not at par with Chelsea and city. Even the 72 of Pepe are with Claus. Who would want him and his high wage for loan knowing he is under performing.. If we decide to sell how much can we offload for that will return at least half of what we paid.
Non the less ESR saka and odegard are our hope for the future.
Thank goodness too leno own don pass. Chai. More pain and regret. It will be profitable for arsenal not to field him in key matches. He is just not good enough and a drag in the team. Saka's performance is always average when fielded with pepe. I am glad arteta has come to realization of this. |

That guy is overrated. Arteta is such a greenhorn, he goes as far as fielding both pepe and saka. What arsenal needs at the moment is to bring in more experienced lethal striker to help guide those three young starlets (Saka, Odegaard and Emile Smith). Pepe should be loaned out or out rightly sold off. Pepe is de odd one out of the bunch. |

Boko Haram: U.S. seizes Nigeria’s $6.1 million as illegal arms contractor pleads guilty.
The United States has seized about $6.1 million belonging to Nigeria after a hired arms supplier pleaded guilty to charges including illegal dealing in military-grade weapons and money laundering, court documents reviewed by Peoples Gazette said.
Judge Erica Grosjean of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California ordered the forfeiture after Ara Dolarian, an unlicensed armed dealer hired by the Nigerian government to help circumvent U.S. ban on arms sale to Nigeria, admitted conducting arms sale without requisite approvals.
Mr Dolarian, who initially denied any wrongdoing, was arrested on May 15, 2019, and pleaded guilty on June 27. His sentencing hearing will open on September 24, 2021, and may be concluded on October 6, 2021, court filings said.
For pleading guilty, Mr Dolarian would face years in prison and would also forfeit $6,024,806.45 cash trapped in various U.S. banks and entities under his name and his businesses. A brand-new BMW vehicle was also confiscated and would be sold by the U.S. government, documents said.
The Gazette saw in the documents that Sambo Dasuki, President Goodluck Jonathan’s national security adviser, contracted Hima Aboubakar, the controversial promoter of Societe D’Equipments Internationaux (SEI), to help broker a deal for high‑explosive bombs, rockets, military-grade firearms and aircraft-mounted cannons to be deployed against Boko Haram insurgents.
The deal came as 2015 general elections loomed and Mr Jonathan appeared desperate to rout out Boko Haram elements and boost his re-election efforts.
To execute the deal, Mr Aboubakar, a citizen of Niger Republic, entered a sales agreement with Mr Dolarian, who did not have license to export arms or broker arms deals as the U.S. had restricted the sale of arms to countries known for flagrant human rights abuses under the Leahy amendments. “At no point did Ara Dolarian (Dolarian), Dolarian Capital Inc. (DCI) or their affiliates receive DDTC approval to broker defense articles to Nigeria,” the U.S. Homeland Security said in the charges.
Although Mr Dolarian had submitted an application requesting a licence to broker military equipment transactions, it was rejected by the DDTC. But that did not stop him from proceeding to present himself to Nigerian authorities as a qualified arms dealer.
The weapons were valued at $8,616,042.50, and while the sales agreement lasted between June and September, 2014, Mr Dolarian received $8,618, 647.00 in wire transfers facilitated by Mr Dasuki through the Central Bank of Nigeria and First Bank.
Court documents said Mr Dolarian through his business partner, Myron Smith, received a $4,998,647.00 from Hong Kong-based SK-Sawki Limited, owned by Mr Aboubakar’s friend. The arms dealer received the remaining $3.6 million from Mr Aboubakar’s company also paid into Mr Smith’s account.
Mr Dasuki was at the centre of a multibillion-dollar arms purchase scandal that rocked Nigeria in 2015 and 2016. He was held in custody for more than four years, with the Buhari regime releasing him only in December 2019 after disobeying several court orders to free the Sokoto prince.
Prosecutors said Mr Aboubakar’s partner in Hong Kong received about $20 million in two wire transfers from the Nigerian government. The first wire transfer was on May 28, 2014, and the second entered on June 9, 2014.
Prosecutors subsequently revealed that Mr Aboubakar had received $20 million for the arms deal from Nigeria, but only paid $8.6 million to Mr Dolarian for supplies. Nigerian government officials and security chiefs have long faced allegations of profiting from the decade-long war on Boko Haram.
Court documents said the transactions showed how Mr Dolarian, his allies and businesses violated the Arms Export Control Act, describing their activities as “specifically unlawful.” Consequently, all identified proceeds would be forfei If Nigerian government is serious enough, this arms dealer could be tracked and the loot recovered from him before other foreign government confiscate his wealth at our loss. |

Politics › Re: Lagos VAT Contribution: Between Fact And Fiction by persius555(m): 8:51am On Sep 12, 2021 |
Faiththatworks: This article is full of gibberish and I think it's time to stop this very faulty and baseless argument about VAT. I have read too much along this very infantile line of thought about lagos's contribution to the VAT pool in Nigeria. It's illogical for anyone to argue about how Lagos generates the highest income of VAT because the headquarters of some multi Nationals are domiciled in the state. Lagos internal generated revenue for 2020 is around 400 billion,this is tax from people income,so how can anyone dispute that the state can't generate another 500 billion from consumption tax. VAT is 7.5%, meaning the yearly income from consumption in Lagos is around 6.5 trillion yearly,a further breakdown means Lagos generates only a taxable income of around 18 billion naira everyday. This figure can't be argued with,I think it's nonsensical to say the total income made for VAT is a paltry figure of 18 billion daily in Lagos State, considering the total activities that goes on in the state. Those who are pushing this one sided argument about the total figure of Lagos VAT contribution should realise that there is a lot of economic activities that generate VAT in the state. I pay VAT anytime I buy my recharge card in the state,I pay VAT anytime I recharge my prepaid meter,I pay VAT anytime I eat in some restaurants in Lagos and even sleep in some hotels,I wonder how that can be linked to multi National companies in the state. Let all these lazy governors stop shedding crocodile tears and brace up or do the Honorable thing and step down for people who have better ideas to rule the state. These people usually in the habit of twistin the narrative when it doesnt suit them. This time it wont work. Just like you explained, if your state is generating so much than already been recorded by FIRS, why isnt the states generating much more for themselves as IGR. Everywhere in the world, sellers are responsible for collecting VAT for the government. If you think you deserve more, then add value to products in your domain and quit whinning or attempting to twist the narrative in your favor. Op, just looking more unintelligent than he is with this cooked up article. |

Whyem15: I'm starting to realize that the US might have won the war in Afghanistan after all. What if they have reached an agreement with the Talibans in the months long dialogues on protecting US and western interests. I do not think they are that concerned about who rules the people of Afghanistan or the welfare of the people. They've always been there for their own selfish interests all along, only the people have had the illusion that they were there to protect them from the brutal rule of the Talibans. Look at it this way, the US told Talibans they were going to start leaving by May 1st 2021, what did the Talibans concede to US go during the negotiations? The Americans pulled out because they realised the Afghan government and the Taliban were not going to reach an agreement for an all-inclusive government. Afghan citizens were stuck between choosing between a "publicly perceived" corrupt government and a Taliban opposition bent on implementing Sharia law all over Afghanistan. If Afghanistans truly love their country, they should stay and fight for it instead of relying on a battle wary United States. |
