Did you originally deposit the USD INTO YOUR domiciliary account in CASH or via ELECTRONIC TRANSFER? Please confirm. Thank you.

Yes, a few days to handover, but with the benefit of hindsight, it was for the better as whatever trick he may have had up his sleeves, the cost of TAM since 2007 far outweights it.

Theconglomerate, hope you are reading this.

Ask the person how much he withdrew.
I wonder why others are facing problems with fx withdrawals while some are saying it's so easy.
I just have to conclude that the sum they are withdrawing is the difference.

Yar a Dua's reversal of the sale of the refinery to me is a treasonable offense.

deleson:
It makes no difference.

The touted policy of limited transfer on cash deposit and vice versa is not valid.
No bank has notified me nor effected it.

I've withdrawn thousands of wired USD this year and I have also transferred thousands of cash USD deposited over the counter.

People should verify info they share in the public domain and avoid speculations, rumours, sentiments and pessimism.

Best!

Gbenga Oyebode is married to the daughter of the late head of state General Muritala Mohammed, this doesn't mean that the gentleman was not qualified for the deal he closed for big businesses in corporate Nigeria.
Someone defined luck as when opportunities meet preparation.

This is a young man who graduated from Ife 41 years ago at the age of 20, left law school 40 years ago at the age of 21. Got a Master degree in Business law from the University of Pennsylvania 38 years ago at the age of 23. Got a Post graduate certificate in Business Management from Harvard University.

Qualified and got license to practice law in New York. Worked as an attorney with a law firm in New York for a year, worked in the legal department at Chevron Headquarters in Huston Texas for 3 years.

Came back to Nigeria in 1986, together with Ajumogobia, Okeke and Aluko set up a Commercial law firm. Until he left in 1992 to co-found Oyebode and Aluko chamber which is about the biggest multi disciplinary Commercial law chamber in Nigeria with core competencies in Oil and Gas, Energy, Foreign Direct Investment, Capital Market, Aviation, Project finance, Privatisation, Maritime, Telecommunication etc.


He is a member of the Nigeria Bar Association, American Bar Association, International Bar Association. For many years he was the chairman of the Business law section of the Nigeria Bar Association.

This Nairaland anti spam ban get as e be jare

DexterousOne:

I actually got the mail about those restrictions months ago
My bank I use for dorm account sent it to me
That's why some were saying what they are saying
Saying it's not valid just like that is surprising
Maybe it was not followed up
Maybe it was done on a bank by bank basis
I dunno.

Okay then.

I didn’t get any communication on that, neither have I experienced any issues with the process.

It’s all good!

emmanuelewumi:
When GSM was introduced into Nigeria by Obasanjo. The operators paid $280 million as license fees.

The first group of Nigerian Investors were banks, top bankers, State government and corporate lawyers.
Most cases smart corporate lawyers preferred to be paid in shares because of the projected growth of the business.
.

Econet now Airtel had the following shareholders First Bank, FCMB, Oba Otudeko, Otunba Subomi Balogun, Lagos State, Delta State and Akwa Ibom state to mention a few.

MTN had the following shareholders Access Bank, Diamond Bank, Pascal Dozie, Victor Odili, Tunde Folawiyo, Sanni Bello, Gbenga Oyebode and another 180 shareholders.


These guys did not earn any dividend on their investments for about 10 years because all the revenue were used to expand the business and service debts. But the Investors are now making big money every year courtesy of the investment they made about 20 years ago

ahiboilandgas:

emmanuelewumi:



Can you share a link of Gbenga Oyebode to NNPC or Abacha loot. Abacha loot are not in Nigeria, foreign lawyers and bankers employed by the Attorney general of the federation is in charge of the professional advisers for the recovery of such fund.


If you link him to Shell, Mobil, Chevron, Nestle, Access Bank, ShopRite, Seplat, Foreign Investors, I will agree with you. Private sector is about competence unlike what is obtainable in civil service.

Muritala Mohammed died in 1976, so I am surprised how influenced how he got a job at Chevron Headquarters at Huston Texas in 1984

deleson:
Quite an impressive profile.

His education, exposure and experiences (3Es) offered more than the relationship most persons allude to.

Chances are that those (3Es) also gave him access to the General’s daughter, given that she was also thrilled by his composition.

You can never underestimate the value of timely and qualitative education (not mere schooling) delivered in the best atmosphere and blended with exposure and rich experiences.

emmanuelewumi:

Corporate lawyers are the deal makers in the business world.

Founder of FCMB was a lawyer.

Legal adviser of Nigeria Industrial and Development Bank.

Before he resigned to set up his Investment Banking firm in 1977.

Earnest Sonekan joined UACN as a lawyer in the legal department of the company.

Wale Tinubu is a lawyer, his eyes were opened to opportunities in Oil and Gas, Maritime when he worked at the commercial law unit of FRA William Chambers


Aig Imoukhuede, the former CEO of Access Bank is a lawyer. Who worked briefly in the chamber of Gbenga Oyebode before he joined the banking sector.

ahiboilandgas:
dont mis understand me ....i know there wealthy lawyers etc ....i said am not a fan of persons expose to the Nigerian state treasury directly or remotely ....i dont view them as mentors to benchmarks or role models for aspiring young investor .......a lawyer made over 30m dollars as commission from the 700 m dollars abacha loots returned during jonathan .....this lawyer london based used is connections to jonathan to make the deal ....after the swiss lawyer has finished the work ......Malami also paid some lawyer/chamber some commission of recovery ......
