SHOPPERS:
They've gat this one right this time!

Kudos guys.

I pray and sincerely hope that it won't be appropriately countered.

But that we could even find this loophole, I'm so happy.

to be honest we need a competent minister of Justice, Osinbajo shouldn't be coming to the rescue.

Ok

EtovalRealEst:
Very funny biko is Vice President a Queens Counsel or a Nigeria Defense lawyer. You are trying to cut cost,now we are been asked to pay 9.6billion dollars.They are many ways to squash this case but I won't give any advice for now ,since they know how to use technicalities to mess up political case they should go and find another cunning lawyer to replicate same here.

This same company instituted this same case in the US and got judgement. Nigeria appealed and the judgment was thrown out.

Every other nonsense you typed is ignored and duly discarded.

Down the drain.

Ikpeazukerosene:
This one thinks Buhari and Osinbajo are like his parents in the village who read newspapers upside down.

Osinbajo is a Professor of law and a SAN. His law firm brought Pfizer Global to its knees when it sued them for 2.5 Billion dollars about a decade ago. They were forced to beg.
This business centre called PIG or P&ID with no address now wants to collect billions from Nigeria?

You think it is people like Ozekhome, Livinus Atiku's lawyer and Nwabueze we're talking about here? Worthless server gang.
This
1 kobo, those guys no go see.

U are practically in dreamland man...did u just mention Ozekhome? Lawyers with proven records...oga park your hate somewhere and think about the general improvement of Nigeria. ...

money about to be thrown away on legal fees.

You're wrong, very wrong.
It was Solomon Dalung.

You know both Dalung and Lai Mohammed are both lawyers.

The joke is on you!

mrdan:
Why do you say this. Or you'd prefer Nigeria cough out the money.

Inasmuch as we have some reservations about the present government, I still believe they should find a way out of this mess rather than pay out that huge amount of money to the company for getting nothing out of the initial business proposition.

They should pay the money so that they become more disciplined in future.

It always amazes when some super dumbest MF calling someone clueless . It never gets old.

Is this one a government?

I have read reasonable reactions and actions from some African countries on the Xenophobic attack, I'm yet to read one from Buhari.

Rather, the administration has left the fight to Nigerians to do themselves.
If the President had done what is required of him long before today, the government of SA would have acted according, to say the least, awoken to the bilateral responsibility of providing security coverage to endangered foreigners in moment of crises, like we do over here.
But the SA government has seen that our own government is 'very responsive and responsible', that's why they do the way they do.
Imagine how many job cuts Nigerians will suffer for all the burnings and lootings that happened across Nigeria yesterday and may still happen afterwards.

So you want the president to start insulting and cursing SA or what?
The president can't join ppl to loot bizs owned by SA. This issue will only be resolved diplomatically. The AU can be called on to sanction SA

The OP of this thread is quite wrong

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/jun/10/obscure-legal-system-lets-corportations-sue-states-ttip-icsid

This article is long but details the ICSID agreement signed by Nigeria that allows foreign companies to sue countries in an international tribunal. Hence, P&ID can sue Nigeria in the UK or anywhere else despite Nigeria being a sovereign state. In the past massive judgements have been awarded against other countries as well including even Germany which was sued by a Swedish firm (Ironic since german businesses were the ones that pioneered the ICSID).

These are the current signatories of the ICSID (The countries in dark green) if you are an international company or even a domestic company that operates in these countries you can sue the entire country for breach of contract.

Ikpeazukerosene:

"... The Act allows a written consent of a foreign state before the enforcement of a judgment which could lead to seizure of assets or freezing of accounts..."

Did you read this part?
Or should I translate it into your native language?

Is British Virgin Island a foreign state on its own? Do they have jurisdiction? Please respond with civility

Read the original post and ask intelligent questions.

"... UK’s State Immunity Act 1978 (the Act) bars UK courts from confiscating assets of a foreign state without the consent of that state, gives it a leeway in the matter..."

Nigeria dead in peace because all hope is lost.imagine a defense even me who never enter law school can easy shoot this down.

buhari will play to the gallery until this shit sink the country when it is 40 billion dollars

That's because you can't help opening your mouth when you have nothing useful to say.

If not for stupidity and ignorance of our Govt, why sign a contract where only 1 party get indemnify at the event of a negligence or breach.

by PDP government

Ikpeazukerosene:
We won't pay 1 cent.

they are looking for a soft landing for both parties.... or do you think the company in question doesn't know all these laws that the post is talking about? there's no how Nigeria govt will not part with something to mitigate the already messed situation

The company lost on Appeal in the US, they would lose when Nigeria appeals this one too.

From there, they can go to appeal in Hell.

is it PDP government you are referring to? PDP is not coming back in the future

Anyway you need to understand countries do sign mutual bilateral agreement as well as treaties that determines how they want to relate. I really don't think I spilled nonsense asking the F.G to sort the issue via technicalities without having to involve the VP. Biko relax an eat Opa .

Why is there no investigation as to "who signed that deal"?

I'd hazard a guess that our Government knows who actually signed that contract. Gej could neither fight nor expose the fellow and Buhari won't fight or expose the fellow. Read between the lines.

This is where Keyamo would have thrived. I don't know why they did not give him the attorney General or Minister of justice role. They guy would have eaten this case up for breakfast

The problem with illiteracy is that most illiterates don't know that they are illiterates. What a shame.

niaralandtopuser: :

a stay of execution is not a favourable judgement. it only gives you time to argue your case.
stop dragging PDP into this as those who signed for FG and nnpc are still alive. if they were still in PDP, you would have seen efcc going after them.
I heard the guy who signed on behalf of nnpc is still part of this government

There was a Stay issued before the appeal was heard and upheld.Immediately the stay was issued, the clowns ran to reinstitute in the UK.

Efcc wouldn't go after them until Nigeria is to pay. Efcc acts on petitions. That company paid a 40M dollar bribe to get their documents signed but they ended up being scammed.

It's their loss, let them keep sinking money.

I have been curious how $40m came into being and my suspicion is the underlined.

I may need a link not that photo. the Nigerian won't be scared if a US court has issued a favorable judgement.

so efcc should not go after those who signed a fraudulent contract that is already costing Nigeria it reputation and finance (or you think we don't spend in defending ourselves in court?). efcc should not go after those that signed a fraud that is threatening to take away 1/3 of our reserve?

the only reason stopping our security agencies from acting is that same powerful individuals who signed this fraud are now part of the cabal running this government

I think it is only honorable that you mention names specifically. Who is/are it/those that signed the deal and part of the cabal in this government. You people should stop insulting people's intelligence if yours refuses to function.
