As you read this story, a French show promoter is biting his fingers and regretting. Reason, he was swindled off $100, 000 USD (N15 million) by a fake P-Square’s manager.

According to sources, the road to ‘magahood’ began late last year when the French promoter, eager to bring the singing sensation to France had gone to, of all places, Facebook and Twitter to launch a search for P-Square.

His search led him to phony Facebook and Twitter IDs purportedly belonging to the manager of the twins in France. Sources say the ID belonged to an Igbo guy, who claimed he had acquired the franchise to manage P-Square in France for two years.

While we are not sure whether it was ‘juju’ or sheer brain he used, what we are sure of is that the Frenchman, believing he was talking with the right person transferred a whopping $100, 000 USD into the account of the fake P-Square’s manager.

However, it soon dawned on him that he had been swindled after the fake P-Square’s manager stopped taking his calls and so he raised the alarm but it was too late, the account into which the money was wired had been cleaned out and the fake manager had popped into the blue.
Reacting to the story, an ex-PMAN president, who did not want his name in print, had lamented thus: “This is tragic! The fault lies with the artistes who wouldn’t join a union. If there is a real union, things like this would not happen because the union would be the first port of call for any show promoter from any part of the world wanting to do business with Nigerian artistes.

“This kind of stuff happens all the time. It has happened to D’banj and a number of other artistes and I believe it’s their fault.”

Meanwhile, we hear that the French show promoter is leaving no stone unturned in fishing out the culprit and is currently making efforts to reach out to security agencies in the country.
Off the Stage will keep you posted as events unfold.

...[/i]Had more than the regular servicing done, like:

01) Replaced timing belt and associated tensioner and idlers?
02) Replaced brake fluid?
03) Replaced clutch fluid (manuals)?
04) Replaced ATF (automatics)?
05) Replaced pollen filters?
06) Replaced coolant?
07) Had mechanical tappets adjusted (valve clearance)?
08) Had your wheel alignment checked, and adjusted as required?
09) Replaced secondary fuel filter?

I have left out the normal service items:

a) Engine oil.
b) Engine oil filter.
c) Primary fuel filter.
d) Air cleaner element.
e) Spark plugs[i]...

..[i].[/i]because the average mechanic would be aware of their existence. The items in the top list however, very rarely get touched by the average mechanic. Some mechanics (and vehicle owners) aren't even aware of their existence!

So guy, how often do you have the items in the top list (01 - 09) replaced / checked? Or when last were these attended to? Do you wait till the engine starts making horrible noises, runs rough, misfires and dies, before action is taken?

Let's share!

Well, the police can make mistakes in any country. This is not peculiar to Nigeria alone.

bros, it happens everywhere truly but the rate is alarming, and it happens with the same pattern, innocent people get killed cos the police is either chasing okada, bus or taxi to collect N20, the same PH that robbers have been terrorizing lately & not even one caught, shameless bunch.

@inspired, i'm interested too, also work with an airline, pls can u tell me what ur terms will be, i'm looking at something not above N800k. clean registered preferably an auto trans.

@Poster,, when u make payment for a ticket online & its not issued, the fault is from the service provider (interswitch & co) and not our airline, what we do on our own just like u rightly said is to check if the cash has actually entered air nigeria account & this can only be done at the airport, if the cash is there, we put u on the flight immediately but if not, we always advise u get a fresh ticket & talk to your bank.

With respect to your complaint, i personally apologize for this & like the lady here mentioned, pls take that ticket to PHC airport or our office on olu obasanjo -UBA or i-cinema stadium road and get it revalidated for any future trip or use it on any domestic route of your choice. Secondly, i hope you explained well enough to them so that a remark will be in the system for that particular ticket which will enable u use it free of charge anytime within 12 months of purchase.

Bros, i sincerely apologize, pls drop your number & i'll call u to get the ticket ref  & sort this out with our PHC office if its ok with u,

On the issue of grounding, the airline was not grounded, what we had was a minor internal dispute , but its all sorted now & our machines are back in the air, a press conference will take place later today.

For others that had flight delays, apologies too but i tell u, no airline in the world is without its problems and like some mentioned here, air nigeria remains their choice airline & we'll keep striving to do our best for u guys,

Regards. 
B.
