| Crime › China Sentences 6 To Death - For Shipping Fake Drugs To Nigeria by REALTRUTH1(op): 1:33am On Dec 01, 2009 |
For shipping fake anti-malaria drugs to Nigeria, the Peoples Republic of China, has sentenced six of its nationals to death, the Director-General of the National Agency For Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), Dr. Paul Orhii, has said. The NAFDAC boss, therefore, canvassed for a life sentence for all drug peddlers in Nigeria, as was the case in China and other countries in Asia, adding that the agency was tightening the noose round drug traffickers as part of efforts to reposition the agency for more efficiency. Dr. Orhii spoke at a five-day strategic planning retreat for NAFDAC staff in Kaduna, saying that while other countries like India and China were in the vanguard of waging war against drug traffickers, Nigeria, which had assumed the toga of a “dumping ground” for manufacturers of fake drugs was fighting the war with levity, due to weak legislation. According to him, it is so paradoxical that Nigeria which is at the receiving end of fake drugs is so lenient in terms of law, adding that NAFDAC was planning to review the existing law in its quest to fight the war against drug trafficking in the country. Already, he added, NAFDAC was in contact with some legal luminaries and human rights activists in order to review the law establishing the agency. He said the law which had the blessing of the National Assembly once passed, would make drug trafficking a non-bailable offence, just as an offender risked going to jail for life. “We are going to implement severe punishment like in India and China,” he said, adding that apart from the jail term, offenders, when caught would have their assets confiscated and proceeds from the sale of the assets would go to victims.” “Those people in China are facing death penalty. The India parliament also passed a law for manufacturing of counterfeit drugs. It will be difficult for Nigerian drug traffickers to go to India. In China, it is even worst the counterfeiter will be facing death penalty,” he said. “For the first time, we have achieved tremendous progress in our campaign against fake and counterfeit drugs and today, most of the culprits are being brought to justice. Today, six people are facing cases on death penalty, while those people traced to India will also risk life jail sentence”. Orhii further argued that it was time the government strengthened its own laws against the importation of counterfeit drugs, stressing that “it is paradoxical that Nigeria which is at the receiving end is lenient in terms of laws against fake and counterfeit drugs.” He said NAFDAC would collaborate with India and China in the fight against drug trafficking in such a way that going into these countries to manufacture fake drugs or to import it into Nigeria would be very difficult. http://www.tribune.com.ng/01122009/news/news11.html |

| Business › Local Banks To Acquire Troubled Banks - Bank Workers, Debtors Relocate Abroad by REALTRUTH1(op): 6:30pm On Nov 30, 2009 |
THERE are strong indications that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has acceded to plans by some local banks to acquire the weak banks in the country. A reliablesource at the apex bank told the Nigerian Tribune in Lagos that the proposal was being considered alongside others, by the relevant authorities in the apex bank, adding that at the end of the day, the rescued banks would be better off. Some of the banks otherwise confirmed healthy and sound by the joint audit probe instituted by the CBN and the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) on all the banks recently had indicated intentions to acquire the troubled banks which include Intercontinental Bank, Oceanic Bank, Afribank and FinBank. Others are Bank PHB, Unity Bank, Spring Bank, Unity Bank, Equitorial Bank and Wema Bank. The rescued banks have been a subject of controversy in the financial sector. The apex bank which had injected a bailout fund of N620 billion into eight of the banks had insisted that with the state of the balance sheet of the banks, their share capitals had been wiped out and this had been interpreted to mean that the shareholders had lost their investments. According to CBN governor, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the result of the audit of the 24 banks indicated that the non-performing loans of most of the banks exceeded their share capital, which put the balance sheet on negative net worth, stressing that the sacked bank managers and shareholders that went to court challenging their removal and alleged takeover of the banks, failed to realise they were no more shareholders of those banks going by the books of account of the institutions at present. “It is the government that has provided the bailout that has a claim to the investments. Any other shareholder can emerge after the debts of the banks have been recovered. That is what the aggrieved shareholders and former CEOs don’t seem to understand, which is why they even kicked against our debt recovery efforts that ordinarily will favour them,” he added. According to the apex bank chief, the other set of people with claim to the banks were depositors and creditors, which he said the CBN was doing everything to protect their interests by not allowing the banks to fail. Also recently, CBN appointed seven local and international advisers to work with the various banks’ boards and managements to repackage the banks. The advisers include Deutsche Bank, Chapel Hill Denham, Stanbic IBTC, Olaniwun Ajayi LP, Kola Awodein & Co, KPMG Professional Services and Akintola Williams Deloitte. CBN explained that its action was aimed at ensuring the stability and soundness of the banking industry, stating that the advisers were expected to work with the boards and management of the banks by exploring all options for securing their stability and long-term future growth. Meanwhile, as the gale of massive job cuts and salary reduction pervades the nation’s banking landscape, some of the affected workers and those owing some of the banks are leaving the country in droves. Investigations by the Nigerian Tribune showed that some of these workers, who were laid off or opted for voluntary disengagements offered by some of the banks were relocating abroad to avoid life after banking in the country. The principal destinations of these ex-bankers are Canada and the United Kingdom. An ex-banker, who simply gave his name as Mr. Ogunbote that recently resigned from Oceanic Bank, told our correspondent in London recently that he saw the crisis in the sector coming, hence his decision to resign and relocate abroad, adding that it would be difficult for him to adjust to a life of joblessness in the country. He explained that having worked in one of the highest paying banks, it would be out of place to wait and be forced out, stating that the prevailing economic situation in the country did not support setting up small businesses or accessing another good job. Ogunbote further stated that he took the decision along with some of his colleagues, who are scattered all over Europe and Canada, stressing that today, they were not regretting their action. “I think the decision some of us took to relocate abroad is the best. Having worked in the banking sector, there is no point hanging around in the country looking for another job and the environment does not support starting any business,” he said. A banker with a first generation bank, who pleaded anonymity, told Nigerian Tribune that this is not the best time to be called a bank worker, stating that none of them is sure of his fate on resuming work next day. He noted that various cost cutting measures are being daily introduced in the banks, stressing that unknown to members of the public, workers are leaving the banks in droves for abroad and other sectors of the economy. Meanwhile, some of the banks’ debtors are also fleeing the country to avoid Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)’s arrest. Investigations by the Nigerian Tribune in Lagos discovered that the debtors, who had earlier made pledges to the anti-graft agencies to pay up their debts at later dates only used the available period to perfect their relevant travel documents to flee the country. This made the EFCC to issue a warning last week giving the debtors a seven-day ultimatum to pay up their debts or face prosecution. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.tribune.com.ng/30112009/news/news3.html |

| Politics › Banks To Slash Workers’ Pay by REALTRUTH1(op): 7:16am On Nov 23, 2009 |
LAGOS—Indications emerged at the weekend that the 10 troubled banks will cut staff salaries across the board as a cost-saving measure to strengthen the survival path charted for them by the Central Bank, CBN. The troubled banks are: Intercontinental Bank Plc, Oceanic Bank Plc, Unity Bank Plc, Bank PHB, Union Bank Plc, Afribank Plc, Finbank Plc, Wema Bank Plc, Spring Bank Plc and Equitorial Trust Bank. A very senior official of the apex bank told Vanguard that the option of salary cut for workers of the troubled banks was inevitable, considering the reality on ground. He said the salary cut will eventually be extended to the other banks. The CBN top shot revealed that the current management in the troubled banks were asked to continue with the existing approved pay structure without bonuses. He also dispelled the rumour that some of the troubled banks’ Managing Directors have bought bullet-proof Sport Utility Vehicles for their official use. He noted that only one MD did so for his personal security. According to him: “When we invited the Chief Executives and Executive Directors to run the banks and in some cases (the EDs) to leave well-paying positions in good banks and do this national service, we told them to take the existing approved pay structure in the banks without bonuses. ”However, a number of them are going to slash salaries across the board in the light of the current realities and this is to save cost.” Continuing, he stated: “Only one bank Managing Director, to my knowledge, bought a bullet-proof SUV and he forfeited other vehicle entitlements. ”The reason we approved that was because we felt there was a genuine risk to his safety as he was closing late and was unearthing frightening revelations.” The CBN top official was reacting to allegations by some very senior bankers that, “The salaries of the caretaker managing directors and executive directors of troubled banks who were brought in from retirement were too high and should be slashed to avoid imminent retrenchment or death of the banks.” A text message from one of the retired bank chief executives read: “For example, one of the bank Managing Director’s mid-month and month- end salary for October was N5 million and N8m respectively. ”This amount excludes quarterly payment and other allowances paid outside payroll. This is the same amount as the one the previous executive directors in that bank got before they were sacked. Other troubled banks pay similar salaries. ”If the banks are really troubled, why not reduce salaries by 80 per cent for all staff to keep jobs and help the banks to recover. The CBN Governor should act fast, if not, the bailout money will only pay caretaker managers’ salaries.” Another text message from another bank executive noted: “The so-called firms to advice the banks were the same auditors who saw nothing wrong in their books. ”The new Managing Directors and executive directors in the troubled banks are earning the salaries of Akingbola, Cecilia, Atuche, Okey, Ebong, etc. ”The banks will die by the end of December, except these salaries are cut immediately by as much as 80 per cent and other staff by 50 per cent. Retrenching staff is not the solution. ”Let the CBN do temporary nationalisation of the troubled banks and no Nigerian banks should be given the burden to acquire any of the troubled banks, it is too much wahala.” Vanguard had reported, a fortnight ago, that the banking industry is experiencing an unprecedented wave of staff retrenchment with no fewer than 1,000 workers losing their jobs within two weeks. The eerie development had forced the leadership of organised labour in the banking industry to ask the apex bank to call the banks to order, threatening to take them on. Vanguard’s investigations revealed that on Friday, October 23, one of the four leading banks sacked 485 of its workers. Sources close to the bank confirmed that it sacked 11 workers at its Matori, Mushin, Lagos branch. Labour vows to resist move Meantime, Organised Labour in the banking sector has kicked against moves by the banks to slash the salaries of workers and vowed to resist such with any means possible including industrial action. Under the umbrella of the Association of Senior Staff of Banks, Insurance and Financial Institutions ASSBIFI, Labour wondered why the banks should be considering such ill-thought-out option aimed at punishing workers for no crime of theirs at this critical period of difficulties. Speaking to Vanguard on the reported plans by the banks especially the troubled banks to embark on salary cuts, Acting President of ASSBIFI, Comrade Sunday Salako, advised the banks to jettison the plans to avoid industrial unrest in the sector. According to him: “ Slashing workers salaries at this time? That will be bring another trouble to the system. If the banks want trouble, we will give it to them. We will not accept any salary cut especially a unilateral one for that matter. We will resist such moves by any means possible including industrial action. Why should the ordinary workers be made to suffer for the crimes they did not commit? We are using this medium to not only advise the banks to jettison such plans, but also calling on government and Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr. Lamido Sanusi, to prevail on the banks not to contemplate on cutting the salaries of our members in particular and the workers in general to avoid an industrial unrest in the banking sector which do nobody any good. We cannot understand why a poor man should be made to pay for the crime of a rich man. We will resist it. I can bet that” http://www.vanguardngr.com/2009/11/23/banks-to-slash-workers-pay/ |

When the oil price was above $140 pb last year,,,was there any significant change in the economy |
| Politics › Fresh Hopes For Nigerian Economy As Oil Hits $79 Pbl by REALTRUTH1(op): 4:54am On Nov 15, 2009 |
The Minister of State for Finance, Mr. Remi Babalola, has raised fresh hopes for the nation’s economic performance as he said the raising crude oil price and higher output would ensure a strong budget performance at all levels of government. Nigeria’s reference oil , Bonny Light, price has risen to $79 per barrel, while the end to militancy in the Niger Delta region has significantly increased the nation’s crude oil production to a level close the OPEC quota, he told the Federal Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC) meeting in Abuja, yesterday. “Bonny light price has increased 70 per cent, year-to-date closing at $79 per barrel. Our production level is improving and gradually approaching our OPEC quota level. The major risk and binding constraint to our economic buoyancy in the short_run is the contraction of the credit squeeze”, he said. Nigeria’s Crude oil quota is 1.67 million bpd, while the nation’s oil production estimate for this year was put at 2.292mbpd with a benchmark $45/barrel. Mr. Babalola, therefore called on banks to resume prudent lending to the real sectors of the economy with a view to stimulating growth, across the nation. His words, “We therefore call on our money centre banks to resume prudent lending immediately as their pivotal role in bolstering the economy cannot be overemphasised. The automatic fiscal policy inherent in our budgetary system and discretionary fiscal stimulus from excess crude releases cannot replace financial intermediation. “It is only lending activities to small and medium enterprises that can engender growth for the real sector in the long_run and not an unsustainable fiscal stimulant.” The minister, however, charged the three tiers of government to adopt some strategic structural reforms to help them sustain economic recovery over the medium term. Several state governments have gone to the capital market to raise funds through the issuance of bonds, while others have collected facilities from banks, a situation that has caused a lot of disquiet in the polity. Mr. Babalola urged all tiers of government to ensure robust “investment in infrastructure, institutions, the environment and basic health and education, combined with greater cooperation and integration, will help make that happen. “I believe we can all rise to the challenge and build a stronger, stable, more equitable and more prosperous future, with opportunities to participate in and benefit from growth extending to all our citizens,” he added. The three tiers of government shared a total of N354.303 billion from the federation revenue in the month of October. Statutory allocation accounted for N165.624 billion of the total distributed revenue, while Value Added Tax and Budget Augmentation amounted to N39.778 billion and N121.228 billion, respectively. This month’s shared revenue was marginally higher than the N350.724 billion shared last month. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2009/11/14/fresh-hopes-for-nigerian-economy-as-oil-hits-79-pbl/#comments |

| Politics › Mdgs: ‘nigeria, A Sleeping Giant’ by REALTRUTH1(op): 2:47am On Nov 11, 2009 |
A group of 22 countries under the aegis of Partners in Population and Develop-ment (PPD) yesterday said Nigeria had missed the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) target and described the nation as a sleeping giant. This revelation is coming on a day the Federal Government said it had spent over $20 billion as contributions to the growth of other countries. The group of nations at a workshop in Abuja on National Support Structure for South-South Cooperation organised by the National Planning Commission in conjunction with the United Nations Agency for Population (UNFPA), said in spite of Nigeria’s population and oil wealth, it was far from achieving the MDGs target and had failed to provide leadership for Africa. PPD Executive Director, Mr Harry Jooseery, while speaking at the workshop, noted that despite the resources at its disposal, Nigeria was still lagging behind in the race to achieve the MDGs target. “Nigeria is one of the richest countries in the world and the world’s sixth largest oil producer and yet still struggling to meet the MDGs. It has the capacity to alleviate poverty and move towards sustainable development. “More investments are needed in health and social welfare as these constitute the most important sector. The MDGs cannot be achieved unless we invest to improve the quality of life of our people”, he said. But speaking at the event, Minister for National Planning and Deputy Chairman, National Planning Commission, Dr Shamsuddeen Usman, who was represented at the workshop by the Secretary to the Commission, Professor Sylvester Monye, disagreed with the description of Nigeria as a sleeping giant and maintained that the nation had made significant contributions to the development process of other South-South nations as well as the African Development Bank (ADB). Usman said, “I will not agree with the submission that Nigeria is a sleeping giant. Nigeria has contributed in excess of $20 billion to other South-South countries. Nigeria has also contributed $570 million to the Trust Fund at the Africa Development Bank (ADfB). The second highest contribution to that of Nigeria is the one from Australia which is $5million. Nigeria contributes to the Technical Aides Corps scheme designed to help other countries”. http://www.thisdayonline.com/nview.php?id=159486 |

| Christianity Etc › God, Give Me A Jet Now —pastor Oritsejafor’s Dearest Wish by REALTRUTH1(op): 11:46pm On Nov 10, 2009 |
If there is anything the National President, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN), Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, wants God to do for him urgently, it is to give him a jet. He says he needs a jet like his other colleagues but that he does not have money to buy one. The man of God said he would never condemn his colleagues for buying jets to enable them carry out their mission of evangelising the world effectively. “I don’t own a jet, but if you give me one, I will collect it,” said Oritsejafor, after a journalist asked him if the pastors who bought jets were showing example to their members and the society, since some of those who contributed in buying jets for them had been indicted in the ongoing restructuring in the banking sector. Oritsejafor defended his colleagues who are buying jets, saying that they needed it for their evangelism outreach. He stated that many of the pastors had lots of schedules to attend to in different parts of the country, Africa and the world at large and that when they have jets, it would help to facilitate their movement. The cleric went on to list the various schedules he had ahead of him, which to him owing a jet would help to facilitate his movement, rather than paying through the nose to buy air tickets all the time. “The schedules of these men of God are too much. I can’t sit here and criticise someone who has a jet. I need a jet but I don’t have the money yet,” he stated. Oritsejafor added that contrary to people’s view that pastors did not care for the welfare of the people, many pastors were impacting in the lives of their members and the society. Using his own example, Oritsejafor said he had promised to distribute 4,000 wrappers to women and another to men in Warri, Delta State in December, saying that God told him to do so, adding that his ministry had at one time or the other given out tricycles and cars to people free of charge. However, men of God who fly in the air with their jets are Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, Christ Embassy; Pastor Sam Adeyemi, Daystar Christian Centre, among others, while Bishop Mike Okonkwo, founder of The Redeemed Evangelical Mission (TREM) is planning to buy one as he had already announced it to his church members. There had been controversies trailing the purchase of jets by some men of God in the country. While some condemned it, others simply supported the idea, saying that the jets would help the men of God carry out their evangelism outreach effectively. http://thepmnews.com/2009/11/10/god-give-me-a-jet-now-%E2%80%94pastor-oritsejafor%E2%80%99s-dearest-wish |

| Business › First Bank Reports N74 Billion Bad Loan by REALTRUTH1(op): 4:30pm On Nov 04, 2009 |
Nigeria biggest bank, First Bank revealed today it had non-performing loans of about N75 billion, as at September this year, five times more than the level of such toxic loans recorded at the same time last year. The revelation came today as the bank presented its first half year report to the Nigeria Stock Exchange in Lagos . Banking insiders believe that the entire banking sector may be carrying in their books over $10 billion, about N1.5trillion, in toxic assets, loans that went really bad. By making provisions for its share of the errant loans, First Bank saw its group pre-tax profit falling to N3.19 billion ($21 million) , a tenth of what it recorded a year earlier. It was not all bad news for the bank, however, as its gross earnings rose to N128.14 billion from N96.95 billion in the same period of last year. The bank surpassed Guaranty Trust Bank on this score. GTB which recently released its half year result, posted a turnover of N127 billion. With a much lower bad loan of N18 billion, GTB however recorded a profit after tax of N15.9 billion. http://thepmnews.com/2009/11/03/first-bank-reports-n74-billion-bad-loan |
