Career / Customs Remove HND Dichotomy, Promote 3487 Officers by salmonkay: 9:52pm On Apr 10, 2017
Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) officers who are holders of Higher National Diploma (HND), on Monday received good news from the Comptroller General, Col. Hameed Ali, who raised their salary grade from 07 to level 08.

The Customs boss, who decorated some of the 3,487 senior officers that were newly promoted in Abuja, told them that their promotion was purely on merit and a call for more work.

He also announced that the rank structure of the Nigeria Customs Service has been aligned with that of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).

The decisions, according to him, were expected to boost the morale of the officers and eliminate confusion in the seniority of officers.

His words: “In compliance with circular Ref: HCSF/EIR/CND/100/ST/98 of 8th September, 2016 from Head of Service of the Federation and the approval of Government since April 1992 for the Nigeria Customs Service to align with the Nigeria Police Force rank restructure and in fulfillment of the CGC’s mandate to reorganize and reform the Nigeria Customs Service. The CGC has directed as follows:


“i) All HND holders currently on salary grade level 07 are automatically moved to salary grade level 08. Supplementary budget will be made for payment of arrears of salary;
ii) The rank structure of the service is aligned with the Nigeria Police Force forthwith;

iii) Officers in the Inspectorate Cadre on Salary Level 08 and above are to align to appropriate rank in the Superintendent Cadre.

“This is expected to boost the morale of officers and eliminate confusion in the seniority of officers.”

Ali told the officers that the days of basing promotion on sentiments are over, stressing leverage of federal character that they enjoy at the point of entry, what counts soon after that is merit and hard-work.

He said that the promoted officers which include the Public Relations Officer, Mr. Joseph Attah that is now a Deputy Comptroller, do not owe anyone any gratitude except God and their efforts that earned them the promotion.

The Comptroller General said: “we had in the past promoted people who did not deserve it and that was what we met in the management. But now merit is key to your promotion.”

He also announced that the Customs and Command College, will in June commence operation as a full command.

Politics / Re: List Of Senators That Mandated Customs Boss, Hammed Ali To Reappear In Uniform by salmonkay: 5:10pm On Mar 16, 2017
SENATE Vs CUSTOMS Vs NIGERIAN CITIZENS

This is what senators don't tell Nigerian citizens.
It is on record that during the last regime most of Nigerian law makers don't pay import duty when they import their bullet proof vehicles including their personal belongings of high value which run into billion of Naira in the name of waiver. They deprive the masses for their legitimate rights for monies that would
have been used to provide basic amenities. For instance a senator or house of reps member or minister or an influential person or a person in the position of power will import a porch car or bullet proof vehicle worth of import duty of N175 million and again without End User Certificate and refuse to pay a duty on it. But an average Nigerian would be compelled to pay duty on items or vehicles of lower value imported either through legitimate route or illegal routes. Is this justice ? Now, this trend has been stopped during the present administration of NCS.

2) During the previous regimes of NCS, senators and house of reps members patronize NCS Headquarters to take advantage of seized goods from Nigerian importers especially goods of high value including expensive vehicles and high value containers to get them from NCS free of charge. This trend has also been stopped during Buhari's dispensation under the leadership of the present CGC.

3) NCS is a revenue and law enforcement agency. If fiscal policies are approved by the government it is the responsibility of NCS to enforce the implementation of the policies. Under this regime the policies will be implemented and enforced without fear or favour or exemption as nobody is above the law including the senators.

4) it is on record, that during the former regimes, contracts of NCS were shared between the former customs management and the influential people in the society including the senators. This dubious practices had also been stopped under the leadership of new customs management. Nigerians should not be deceived by the senators thinking that they are protecting their rights. It is obvious that the senators are making efforts to stop the Comptroller General of Customs not to implement the good policies because they have to pay through their noses for those vehicles they import without proper duty. I am optimistic to say that all the noise being made now by the senators is to protect themselves not the Nigerian masses in order not to pay the correct duty on the expensive imports they import as the policy has retrospective effect of which they are mostly affected. A senator may have to pay huge duties that run into 100 of millions or billions of Naira for porshe cars and bullet proof vehicles they imported in the last regime without proper duty. Don't be deceived by the noise of the senators and the campaign against the good policies of government and the denting the image of NCS. The policy currently being implemented is for the good interest of the Nigerian masses and the general public. The senators and influential people must pay those import duties which is meant for the masses. Live long PMB and live long NCS. Pls be wise.
Please share to orientate Nigerians! !! !!!

Crime / Stray Dog Pulls Newborn From Garbage Dump by salmonkay: 3:42pm On Nov 05, 2015
A stray female dog from Campinas, Brazil, is being called an “angel sent from the heavens” after the homeless pet saved the life of a newborn baby boy.
The dog who was scavenging for food in a garbage dump came across the newborn who still had the umbilical cord attached. The smart dog gently carried the baby in her mouth out of the dump, walked a few hundred feet to the closest house and handed the baby over to helpful humans hands. There, as if asking “please help him,” the dog showed the humans the baby and left him to their care.

The home residents rushed the baby to the nearest hospital and doctors carefully cared for the tiny newborn. Medical representatives said the baby boy is in great condition and was unharmed by the dog.

Local residents are in disbelief that a mother would be willing to dump her newborn in a dump just minutes after giving birth. Authorities are now looking for her, the worst mother ever.

Thanks to this gentle stray dog, the baby boy is alive today.

Politics / US Considers Visa Ban, Financial Sanctions Against Alison-madueke, Others by salmonkay: 12:33pm On Oct 14, 2015
As President Muhammadu Buhari enlists the help of Western governments in his anti-corruption crusade and the recovery of ill-gotten funds stashed away overseas, the United States government has considered imposing a visa ban or financial sanctions against ex-petroleum minister, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, and a dozen of her associates, government officials in the oil and gas sector and politicians.


Quoting US officials, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported yesterday that Washington was scrutinising whether Alison-Madueke’s associates laundered money in the US, United Kingdom and other countries.


In the report, WSJ said the UK and US have thrown their muscle behind Buhari’s bid to recover billions of dollars he alleges his compatriots embezzled and stashed abroad.


However, at stake is whether courtrooms thousands of miles from Africa can help the continent track down stolen money, seize it, try the culprits and return the funds in a timely fashion.


In May, Buhari became the first Nigerian to unseat an incumbent president, elected on his vow to recover a vast fortune of money lost to corruption. Within weeks, he was at the White House to ask for help.


“We’re all in,” replied Vice-President Joe Biden, said Garba Shehu, spokesman of the president.
When it comes to helping Africa’s top economy battle graft, this month has offered the first glimpse of how fast and far Buhari’s friends abroad can move.


According to WSJ, in the past, Western governments have acted on similar pleas from other African states—but this time, they have operated with unprecedented nimbleness.


Following a summer meeting in Washington between British and American investigators, London police on October 2 raided a luxurious home near Regent’s Park. There they briefly detained Alison-Madueke, oil minister from 2010 to 2015.
Hours later, her neighbours in Nigeria watched as scores of cops searched her house: “The former minister has questions to answer,” said Bitrus Babuje, a fellow resident of the leafy Abuja suburb called Asokoro.


One of Africa’s most prominent politicians, Alison-Madueke and her associates are suspected of bribery, corruption and laundering money through British and US banks. She has previously denied those allegations and police haven’t charged her with anything.


A lawyer speaking on her behalf, Oscar Onwudiwe, said she was invited by the police in London this month but not arrested. He said he didn’t know the purpose of the invitation. “If the police come to your house for any reason, does it make you a criminal?” he told WSJ.


For the federal government, the detention announces Buhari’s intent to root out endemic corruption, a promise at the core of his campaign. Eventually, the crackdown could help recover the much-needed funds for an exchequer hit hard by collapsing oil prices.
“Most of the money taken out of Nigeria is taken to the West,” said Femi Adesina, a spokesman for Buhari. “So Nigeria will need collaboration with the West.”


Nigeria isn’t the first African country to find its officials investigated abroad for financial crimes. But the current flurry of legal action seems unique for its speed and scope. Buhari is president of Africa’s most populous state—and he has leveraged that position to steer a global hunt for laundered money.


Anticorruption investigators in Nigeria have arrested three directors at the state oil company – Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) – in recent days, said two people close to the administration. None were charged; the oil company says it is eager to expose corrupt employees.


American officials have also considered a visa ban or financial sanctions against Alison-Madueke and a dozen of her associates, oil officials and politicians, US officials said. Washington is scrutinising whether her associates laundered money in the US, the UK and other countries, the officials said.


Both the US State Department and the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA) declined to comment on their investigations: “We continue to work with Nigeria to fight corruption,” a State Department official said.
Together, the litany of legal actions—conducted on three continents— point to a swift but uncertain precedent for Africa’s struggle against corruption.


“The real issue is the signalling effect: that holding public office in Nigeria should not be a licence to plunder,” said Bismarck Rewane, Managing Director of Lagos research firm Financial Derivatives Company. “It’s working. The number of bribes I’m being asked for has dropped.”


For the better part of a decade, graft fighters in Africa, having lost faith in their own courts, have asked judges in Europe and America to wage their battles.


Major political figures in Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, and Republic of Congo have all seen their assets frozen or targeted by French or American courts.


But those investigations have proceeded slowly. In some cases, they have stalled. Prosecutors have struggled to prove that cars, houses, and artwork there were purchased with money stolen thousands of miles away.


For now, a civil court in West London has frozen £27,000 ($41,400) confiscated by the police from Alison-Madueke, said a clerk at the court. Police also seized £5,000 and $2,000 from her mother, court clerks added. The small amount is the first publicly recorded evidence that legal action has been taken against the former minister and her family.


Buhari has also been in London lately: He met with Prime Minister David Cameron at his Downing Street office in May.
On the flight there, he sat in British Airways’ first class—just a few rows in front of Alison-Madueke—said two people familiar with the matter. The president-elect at the time refused to speak to her, they said, for the entire six-hour flight.

Politics / Fuel:nlc Treatened Nationwide Strike by salmonkay: 6:11pm On May 24, 2015
The Comrade Joe Ajaero-led Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has described the chronic fuel scarcity being experienced across the country as war against the citizens and a conscious attempt to subject 170 million Nigerians to economic suicide.

Towards this end, the labour union has threatened to embark on an indefinite strike action should the scarcity continued unabated.

NLC, according to a statement issued today and signed by its deputy president, Comrade Issa Arem‎u, averred that, “Nigeria is the only country on earth which unacceptably and criminally denies its citizens basic sources of energy; fuel and electricity‎.”

It, however said it was time all Nigerians stopped agonizing and rose in unison against this ‘agony capitalism‎‎.’
