What does all these you are saying have to do with you proving that state governments bought Julius Berger stakes so as to have them launder money,when they can just award them contracts and have them move their kickbacks to any country of their choice?
Also ,I've been meaning to ask you this since but your naive responses have been making me feel like you will have a hard time giving a reasonable answer,reason I've been dragging foot but I'll go ahead and ask you so you can go do your research and leave me alone.
Now,what kind of company(especially one of repute like JB) will accept investments from states that it is meant to use to expand ops and make more money for itself and its new partner (the states in this case) so as to launder the money?
How will it now generate profits to pay the state for this investment when the working capital has been laundered?
What now happens when power changes hands and someone else comes and hold them accountable for their non performing investments?
Does this look like a good deal for JB?
If not,why will they accept it?

As for your last sentence, your incoherence alone is enough for me to think that you're not involved in anything of this nature, because your emptiness is alarming.
I'll stop responding here,don't bother to quote me again.
Cheers.








I remember my first response to you was why the frustration, rudeness and arrogance, the truth is, you have a preconceived mindset that is not ready to accept, digest or analyse the point of others, you have clearly shown these severally by your misunderstanding and the misuse of naive.

Lemme quickly reply to all your ignorance.

Your quotes:
( does all these you are saying have to do with you proving that state governments bought Julius Berger stakes so as to have them launder money,when they can just award them contracts and have them move their kickbacks to any country of their choice?)

Me:
Do you have any idea of the states that have stakes in JB?
The stakes bought in JB belong to the STATE(The people) and the money launder belong to the governor and his few cronies.

Your quotes:
(How will it now generate profits to pay the state for this investment when the working capital has been laundered?
What now happens when power changes hands and someone else comes and hold them accountable for their non performing investments?)

Me:
As a Nigeria I was expecting you to know how this works but your shallow knowledge about kickback, embezzlement and fraud is alarming.

Most contracts are awarded based on tender, if JB tender for bid of 100mUSD project and the state governor instruct them to inflate it to 400mUSD and latter get a kickback of 280mUSD, JB has just made an excess profit of 20mUSD. It's a win win for both.
That's how it works dummy, that's how they loot the state dry.
JB will make profit, pay staff and state that will still be relooted.
That is the reason why they are always in a hurry to take loan from anywhere before the expiration of their tenure.
Kano state governor is a case study. He took a lot of loan to execute many prime projects but you saw the video that went viral during his percentage kick back collection.
State governors can not just loot the treasury without looking for channels and the channels must remain untraceable to cover their deeds and misdeeds.

Keep an open mind when having a conversation so you can learn and unlearn. 2015 many academic scholars in various fields queue up to vote the calamity we have today as president but thier years of intellectual knowledge misjudged their conviction and today the country is dommed.
Stop being arrogant, learn to be humble and keep an open mind.

Cheers.....



My proof of JB is a dubious company below not reputable as you claim.

After more than 70yrears of transferring our common wealth to Germany, Nigeria can not establish a world class construction company that will compete with Julius Berger or even send them packing. Very Sad.

Welldone Mr Project.


Don't forget the reason why the company is attractive to some state governors is because they also use it to launder money.

The more you look the nothing you see.


We don't have the enabling environment to put together such construction company

is this not a stupid idea? so nigeria or rivers state cannot set up an indigenous construction company that will cater construction needs after so many years of independence or their education is a waste if they keep transferring money to overseas company or what do they gain in return from this world power country??

Okowa is just another Osinbajo.. the guy is just a mopping ornament.
Is not just for his own gain. Wike is trying in changing the outlook of River State. At least he will be known for something when he is out of office. He has his own short comings yet he has achieved some reasonable thing in PH. I pray God will give the next governor of the state the wisdom to do better.

In what world do you give 80% upfront to a contractor and expect serious results. Wike is useless and stupid

In a runaway and inflation prone economy such as Nigeria's what Wike did by giving 80% is the most logical thing to do....unless ofcourse you want contractors to come back and ask for variation due to price changes.

Most contractors include validity period of the quoted contracts sum, if it exceeds such period it gives them grounds to ask for contract review hence variation but paying upfront you corner and compel them to expeditiously execute the contract within the stipulated time frame, it is also pertinent to ensure strick supervision to ensure compliance in both quality and schedule. That's basic logic.

Most procurement laws actually doesn't encourage paying that much as initial milestone but exigencies compels.

Can someone please inform this guy that everything is not abut talk. I bet if we review the contract he signed with JB now, you will see all kinds of "acts of nature/Force Majeure" clauses. What you will not find anywhere in the contract or addenda is JB waiving their rights under the aforementioned clauses and assuming those risks, in return for 80% upfront payment. Nigerian politicians getting played by JB with contract terms that a first year law student can see coming from kilometers away, and they will come and be disturbing our peace with useless talk.

To all "His Excellencies" that will not let capable lawyers review contracts before rushing to sign it in the dead of nights, take this one:

Only if it is explicitly stated in the contract, not verbal guarantees. All of those positives you mentioned, if not explicitly stated and agreed upon by JB, if JB didn't waive the act of nature clause protection--which I can tell you categorically right now, that they did not--simply invoking that clause, negates all of that pluses you just enumerated. JB is no magician, road constructions have seasonal aspects and variations to it. As it stands, if it's a major work, like every contract delayed due to seasons, it will be subject to reviews, variations and inflation--paying 80% upfront guarantees nothing. HE just got played by JB's contract lawyers.

All the 7 flyovers already delivered by Julius Berger to the Rivers state government on 80% down payment were completed on or before schedule and to specifications without the need for variation.

What do you say to that?

At least he is serious by giving 80 percent upfront. I know of many governors who will like to embark on similar projects on credit. They will then take the credit but owing the contractors until the end of their tenure they will then leave the liability for their successors to be battling with
