Hello. I can see here that u didnt address ur misrepresentation. I applied march 9 online route Humber college too. Is it advisable to include that ive not heard anything from them after replying to the procedural fairness letter? Thank you

Actually, I addressed my misrepresentation. I think it is advisable to include that you haven't heard from them after addressing the procedural fairness letter. That's what I did, which I believe was what prompted them to respond to my query.

Please, have you done anything in terms of deferring your program? Were you successful in doing that? Please explain to me what you did about it? Thank you.

DeCrystal1:




Pls share the details of the mail you sent like the title and sample of the content of the mail. When did you apply and which route? They didn't reply me when I sent them mail. I applied on May 4,online route

Well, I can only draft out the format I used. My details will definitely be different from your's.


Title: Urgent Query

Dear Sir/Madam,

Telephone Number:


I am writing to ask you the recent status of my application. I sent my application to the VFS Office on the (insert date of submission).
Since then I have not gotten any update about my application.

Please would you be kind enough in letting me know the current status of my application.

I hope to hear from you soon and thanking you in anticipation.

Kind Regards,

Name:

Please note, this is just a format, more details can still be included in the letter.

As for when I applied, I applied on May 15, paper route, Humber College, to study Information Technology Solutions. That reminds me, has anybody going to Humber college gotten his trv?

Hello house, I greet everybody. Please I sent a mail to CIC last week Wednesday requesting for an on my application. They replied me on Tuesday, stating that:

" My application is in queue for their officer's review of your response to our procedural fairness letter. We will contact you if further information is required".

I am happy that my mail was responded to, and out of impulse, I was almost sending them another mail yesterday, you know, urging them politely that they should hasten up with the review of my application because will be resuming on the 5th and I have been given till on the 8th of Sept to resume classes. Then I thought about it the second time, and decided to give them some time before sending any mail again.

This is my question, please does anybody have any clue how long it may take CIC to review the procedural fairness letter I wrote to them?

Secondly is it possible that they have already concluded the background check and want to start reviewing the fairness letter?

Thank you all.

Good evening house. Please I have a question I want to ask. Is it a good idea to contact cic reminding them about one's application and that he's scheduled to resuming classes on the 5th of September.

I applied for TRV on the 15th of May and up till now, I'm yet to get any update from cic. I am thinking that sending them a letter may actually remind them about my application and perhaps, prompt them into looking at it even though I may not get a reply from them.

Secondly, have their been anybody, or does anybody know someone who has had any form of misrepresentation and was later given a visa to go to Canada?

I would like to know, and let other readers know as well. Because In my own mind, I don't think having an issue of misrepresentation rules out one's chances of being issued a TRV, especially when one addresses the letter being sent to them cic.

Thank you.

...Says NNPC owes Capital Oil N16bn
...As Committee says it can help Capital Oil to recover its money[i][/i]

The Managing Director of Capital Oil and Gas, Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah yesterday exposed lapses in the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) saying that the corporation owes the company N16 billion with a key portion of the debt spanning over two years. The Oil mogul who was clearly unhappy with the treatment NNPC meted out on him and his company, provided in-depth details and analysis of the contractual agreement between the NNPC and Capital Oil and Gas.

Ubah, who revealed this yesterday during the public hearing organised by the House Committee on Petroleum Downstream stated unequivocally that Capital Oil and Gas did not commit any crime. He
further stated that everything Capital Oil did was within the purview of the dynamics of the business practice in throughput storage management worldwide and has been the practice for over nine years of its business relationship with the NNPC. Ubah also exonerated the DSS for his ordeals as he asserted that they were acting based on the misinformation of the NNPC.
While expressing his disappointment at NNPC's antics, Ubah pointed out that Capital Oil had made a payment of N2billion to NNPC in good faith in order to trigger a reconciliation exercise, a position that was made public in a Capital Oil press statement in May. However, he condemned the fact that, till date, NNPC has failed to invite Capital Oil for a reconciliation.

In its position made available to the press, Capital Oil and Gas stated that the throughput contract which they operate with NNPC puts the company in a position of a stock manager which is somewhat akin to an oil bank. This allows for commingling and loading out of product so long as Capital Oil ensures that all parties having products in their storage ultimately receive their total stock.

"NNPC in the past have also borrowed product from us to keep their supply/distribution chain running. We duly paid for product from NNPC and were issued loading permit. However, NNPC diverted the vessel that was supposed to deliver t he product and has till date refused to deliver, thereby causing a break in the chain of product that would have plugged any gap. The unprofessional way in which the issue was handled led to a run on our company operations thereby destabilizing our business and causing a shutdown of our operations. The circumstances have caused us billions of naira in losses and serious dislocations for our workers."

Capital Oil concluded its position by explaining that while they called for a reconciliation of the issues, NNPC decided to present the issue to the public and other government agencies and deliberately left out vital information in a bid to misinform the public, particularly the fact that the NNPC owes Capital Oil and Gas the sum of N16billion.

Outlining the debts being owed to Capital Oil and Gas by NNPC, Capital Oil stated that the NNPC owes the company the sum of N3,146,146,920 representing payment for 20,000MT of PMS for which the payment was duly made since 14th February 2017 vide PFI and N1,170,452,408 representing the company outstanding throughput bills have remained unpaid since March 2016 to date.

He also revealed that $2,952,555 and N6,000,000 representing outstanding payment for coastal vessel intervention bill, have not been paid since 2015. While explaining that N59,320,045.57 representing short-payment from previous throughput bills have not been paid, Ubah added that N5,709,981,426 and N556,202,326 being statutory payment of jetty throughput charge of N.80k/litre and N.40k/litre respectively owed to Capital Oil has remained unpaid despite the fact that NNPC either received or deducted the payments from PPPRA.

He further explained that NNPC owes Capital Oil N341,106,990.95 representing throughput services bill. On berthing fees of $20,000 per vessel, Ubah said that NNPC shipping agents on behalf of the corporation, paid a total of $2,999,919 leaving an outstanding of $5,540,000. He concluded by stating that the total Naira component stood at N10,983,210,116.52 without accrued interest while the Dollar component stood at $8,492,555.

Ubah, who explained that Capital Oil and Gas Industries have been providing strategic and excellent services to NNPC over the past nine years and have discharged over 8billion litres of petroleum products for distribution nationwide, added that "we have rendered services to NNPC in the last nine years, no Nigerian downstream company could render up to 35%. We should be commended and not castigated".

"On many occasions, we have loaned millions of litres of petroleum products from our storage to the NNPC group without alerting or alarming the public, which, if done, would have created serious National panic and scarcity. Thus, we have always kept the confidentiality of our relationship sacrosanct.

"it is in the light of these indisputable circumstances that we are shocked at and disappointed with the actions of NNPC in throwing the issue to the public and calling in law enforcement agencies without fully exploring the available dispute resolutions mechanism available within the purview of our contractual relationship.

"These unwarranted and unjustifiable actions have caused our company so much injury not only in the loss of patronage and goodwill nationally and internationally but in loss of business, revenues and a shutdown of our operations that has resulted in the loss of gainful employment of our over 2000 workers for the period the company had remained shut down.

While fielding questions from the lawmakers the NNPC Retail representative, Danjuma Dansule admitted that Capital Oil and Gas still remains a credit-worthy company to do business with. He also admitted to having Capital Oil and Gas' product which has been duly and fully paid for.

The committee chaired by Hon. Joseph Alakija was angry as to why NNPC who gave Capital Oil a clean bill of health in December 2016 would turn around to allege that the same company diverted its products in January 2017. The committee also condemned the forceful retirement of Mrs. Nnamdi-Ogbue, the former Managing Director of NNPC Retail without a holistic investigation and fair hearing. The Committee, however, told Capital Oil that it can help it to recover its money, but appealed to the company to co-operate with the Committee.

In this kind of scenario, what does the house think should be the best way to respond to this type of query from CIC?

muyem:
Dear All,

I need your kind advise on how best to respond to the letter I received from the Canada Immigration section, Ghana. The question is,

"On the current application form, you indicate that you have never been refused any kind of visa, admission, or been ordered to leave Canada or any other country. According to information in our records, you were refused visa(s) to the United States in the following year(s): 2016"

I never indicated that I was never refused any kind of visa. I ticked yes I was refused, Because I was previously refused that of the Canada. Meanwhile I was refused USA visa last year but was later given in March this year before my reapplying for Canada visa so I see no reason to state that in my form except that if Canada which I was reapplying for.

I have been given 2weeks to respond.

I need your kind advise. Thank you all in advance.

Yes I received this mail from CIC today. Around 2.35pm this afternoon. A notification was sent to my mail box, then I went to my account in their portal to read the message.

Please I will be grateful for any advise that may be given.

Thank you.

matic12:


Are you sure you received this mail today? Do CIC works on Sunday?

Hello house, please I need an urgent answer to my problem.

I just received a mail from cic which they tagged as 'procedural fairness'. It happened that sometime last year, I applied for a non-immigrant visa to U.S which I was denied. Now, while applying for my Canadian study visa, I forgot to indicate that I was once denied an American visa, and cic have found out. They sent me a message informing about this error in my application, at the same time, tagging it that I may have engaged in a mis-representation.

The good thing though is that I have been given 15 days to respond to this query. House, please how do I go about resolving this issue? What documents do I need to send to CIC to let them know that it was an error on my side and not a mis-representation.

Please query is also attached. I would like a honest and sincere respond to my problem. Thank you.

Story Story, Story!! Once upon a time, time time!!!

APC think that Nigerians are fools. See how they're trying to feed us with propaganda.

kahal29:
• Shuts out ministers, presidential aides
• Meets with only First Lady

From his recuperation room in London, President Muhammadu Buhari, has reportedly been resisting attempts by some government officials, including ministers to undermine Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, The Nation can now reveal.

He has refused to see such officials who sneak to the United Kingdom with files for his signature, it was gathered yesterday.

Buhari, authoritative government sources said, rejected the files and asked the affected government functionaries to take all documents and issues to Acting President Osinbajo.

He has also refused to grant audience to ministers and some presidential aides who indicated interest to see him.

But the President met with First Lady Aisha during her recent trip to London, contrary to social media reports.

Sources said the President insisted that his administration runs one Presidency and since there is an Acting President in place, any attempt to create a division by anyone will not be tolerated.

It was gathered that one of the delegations that went on a futile trip to see Buhari returned to Abuja on Wednesday a few hours to the signing of the 2017 Budget by the Acting President.

It was learnt that during the failed trips, some files and documents were taken to the President ostensibly for his perusal and approval, but he refused to act on them.

In line with his belief in due process, the President directed that all files and documents be made available to the Acting President.

A top source said: “Despite the fact that he is fast recuperating, the President has tried as much as possible to stick to one presidency.

“He has refused to see some government officials who went to London to see him instead of being at their desks to work. He also returned all files and documents to those who brought them to London.

“The President gave stern instructions that all files, documents and issues needing decisions should be taken to the Acting President. He does not want a divided government. Buhari is living up to his Spartan discipline.

“He has restricted audience to two or three personal aides with him in London. This is why there are no leaks associated with his first medical trip this time around.”

The source added: “Those involved in taking files and documents to London had their ego deflated. Since their return from the various shuttles, they have been trying to curry the favour of the Acting President or cooperate with him. They did not know that intelligence report had exposed their antics.

“And the truth is that the President has been speaking with the Acting President.”

On the controversy surrounding the visit of the First Lady to London, the source said: “As a matter of fact, the First Lady, met with the President without any encumbrances.

“Any story to the contrary is false. There is enough evidence to prove that she met with her husband. No one prevented her.

“Some people came out with the rumour because the President has limited contact with them this time around because of leaks during his last trip.

“Some of those who visited the President during the initial shuttle for medical care turned out to feed Nigerians with false information on his health.

“It became necessary to restrict access to two of three aides. Not everyone with the President in London is allowed to see or meet with him. Ministers and government officials have been shut out too.

“The declaration of the First Lady that the President was pleased with the conduct and performance of the Acting President was at the prompting of her husband to checkmate those who indulge in flying to London for unnecessary consultations and approvals.”

The Director of Information to the Wife of the President, Suleiman Haruna yesterday insisted that “Hajiya Aisha met and spent some time with the President. I even issued a statement on this.”

Haruna’s statement had read in part: “Wife of the President, Mrs. Aisha Muhammadu Buhari returned from the UK, where she went to visit her husband, who is on medical leave.

“Mrs. Buhari, on arrival, conveyed the appreciation of the President to Nigerians over their constant prayers and said he will soon be with them as he is recuperating fast.

“Mrs. Buhari called on Nigerians to continue to be strong in the face of challenges and to support the Federal Government in implementing the agenda for which they were elected.”

‘Mr. President thanked the acting President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo for his loyalty and called on Nigerians to continue to support the acting President in his effort to actualize the mandate of the All Progressives’ Congress (APC),’ she said.

Hello all,
Please a quick one. I have submitted my application, via paper route on May 15th. I have also linked my application online, and these are the updates I have gotten so far. Please, I am begging the house, anybody at all to help me explain what they mean in the update. especially the circled sentence in the attachment below.

Also, I'm yet to do my upfront medicals, I will be grateful if I may get a contact detail of where I can do one in Abuja, as well as the cost of it.

Thank you once more.

#Justice4IfeanyiUbah

DSS release Ifeanyi Ubah now

I wonder why DSS is still holding Dr Ubah in their custody. Charge him to court, they can't. Instead all their narratives have just been on false propaganda. Deceiving all the goats and sheep in Nigeria that choose to be gullible and ignorant that Dr Ubah is a corrupt man when on the contrary, as I am writing this text, there is no charge or case against him in court by any entity or organization that Dr Ifeanyi Ubah have stolen or looted any money in this country.

Even Dr Ubah's accusation against NNPC that he is being owed N16bn have not been refuted by either NNPC, DSS, EFCC or AMCON. If NNPC or DSS feel that Dr Ubah must refund the N11bn or 82 million litres he sold, let them charge him to court. It's so simple. If they can't do that, then let them release him, because they are infringing on his freedom of movement and his right as a human being.

This does not have to do with whether he is an Igbo man or not, or whether IPOB are issuing empty warnings or not. It has to do with logical thinking and fair justice.

Let us note that it is happening to Dr Ubah now. We don't know who this injustice may visit tomorrow, we all should stand up fight against injustice. I rest my case.

#Justice4IfeanyiUbah

BlackMbakara1:


He stole fuel that was entrusted in his care...the basis of owing him or not is not tenable.

NNPC is not owed my an individual but all Nigerians including him and accountable to the state including me and you. DSS was invited as an investigating body because this act put up could lead to unrest (economic sabotage) when there's shortage of fuel in this country and you trust Naija if situation like this happens...prices of everything will defy gravity.

DSS is to detect, mitigate and prosecute which is why NNPC as a state entity went to them.

Bros, its either you've read the article I posted and are refusing to accept the fact as it is written, or you're refusing to read it at all. I rest my case with you because you're striking me as someone who is choosing to be ignorant about knowing the facts and truth of this arguement so there is no point arguing with you again. You're entitle to your opinion.

If DSS like, let them not produce Dr Ubah in court tomorrow, they will tell Nigerians whether 14 days have not elapse yet for them to produce him to court.

Very good points #Justice4IfeanyiUbah. DSS have no case against Dr Ubah. They should release him and pay the balance of his fee.

BlackMbakara1:


Why didn't he sued them or don't you know in business they have payment terms, payment days,Payment reminder and penalty for defaulting. The court will ask if he has exhausted all those options. It's not a enough to take laws into your hands just because u r aggrieved.

And please don't be silly, government workers, contractors etc are all vendors...

My brother, read the article I posted. Dr Ubah have not committed any offence that will warrant DSS to arrest him. DSS is not a debt collector and have no right to arrest him.

What would have happened is for NNPC to sue him to court or have a meeting with Capital Oil, not inviting DSS into this matter.

Even DSS arrest him, they should take him to court instead of this media trial they are using against him.

Capital Oil/NNPC : These are 25 points DSS Lawyer failed to note …Nigerians should take it to them


1- There is what is known as “Throughput contents” in the contract document between NNPC and Capital Oil .

The “Throughput” agreement, in accordance with the norms and practice in the industry worldwide, allow conversion and diversion of its products by the ‘Operator’ so long as the Operator is prepared to re-deliver the products (in terms of the current contract) within 7 days of demand by the products owner or to pay a penalty for non re-delivery.

The penalty to re-deliver is expressly stated by the Contract to be a mere breach of contract remediable by the payment of penalty to the owner. The penalty is comprised of the cost of delivery of the products to the Operator’s tank farm with interest at 1%.

Therefore, there can not be an issue of crime in conversion or diversion of products under a throughput contract between NNPC and Capital Oil .

2- Again, According to Common law rule of “Warehouseman Lien” which expressly state that:-

“When goods are delivered to a professional storage operator (we will refer to them as a warehouseman) for “throughput”, they may become subject to a lien.
A lien is a security right which gives the warehouseman rights over the goods that can take precedence over the rights of others, including the owner.
The warehouseman is entitled to exercise the lien when he or she is left unpaid for services rendered and in so doing will gain legal control over the goods.

3- In view of the above, Dr Ifeanyi Ubah’s Capital Oil can exercise the security right to sell the NNPC’s fuel if they refuse to pay their debt . State agents like DSS or EFCC do not have a place in this documented business transactions which is protected by the contractual terms between the parties .

4- One issue that nobody has refuted is the issue of NNPC owing Capital Oil and Gas over N16billion

5- It amount to sabotage for DSS Lawyer to continue to make undemocratic and unbusinesslike statement in the media on the matter that is receiving judicial attention .

6- Why are they not saying anything on over #16billion that NNPC is owing Capital Oil ?

7- Who should be punished by death between a govt that is owing more than #16billion to an individual who has over 2000 Nigerians in his employ or a Nigerian who has exercised his right of LIEN to remain in business, an act well within the legal framework of the contractual details between him and govt agency ?

8- Where was this product claimed to have been diverted used ? Was it not dispensed to Nigerians ? Was it hoarded against the public request ? No ! So where is the issue of attempt to instigate scarcity as alleged by DSS Lawyer coming from ?

9- In their first press release and in the Lagos court, they said Dr. Ubah was inciting Tanker drivers to embark on strike, which translates to economic sabotage in their thinking. For what purpose? It is of note that tanker drivers have denied that.

10- When they could not substantiate their claim with any proof , they subsequently changed gear to allege that Dr.Ubah was trying to cause scarcity by distributing petroleum products to Nigerians and hence , a capital crime punishable by death . Funny mix up indeed .

11- Can selling products stored at Capital Oil tank farm to Nigerians amount to creating scarcity of the same product within Nigerian market ? A question waiting for an answer .

12- Or Did Capital Oil sell the product in Cotonou or Mali ? Was it sold to aliens or Nigerians ? Of course it was to Nigerians .

13- Is Capital Oil not the same company that has been rescuing NNPC when they lacked product ? This same Capital Oil has frequently rescued the country in petroleum crises and during strike actions. Nigerians must take note.

14- Did NNPC inform DSS that they have been borrowing product also from Capital Oil in more than three occasions this year alone ?

15- Did NNPC inform DSS that they do also borrow /loan products from capital whenever they run short of product as there is documented evidence of capital oil loaning over 18million of pms to NNPC between 26th of July to 4th of August 2016 and many more.
Will NNPC also be condemned to death for borrowing product from a private citizen to cover their supposed inefficiency ?

16- Let it be of note that Capital Oil had earlier petitioned the relevant Agencies /Institutions with respect to the over #16billion that NNPC has been owing the company for years.

17- Owing a businessman N16billion for about two years is a calculated act to stifle his business operation. More dangerous when it is even the Federal Government through its agency that is owing the private businessman such amount in Nigeria.

18- Assuming Dr Ifeanyi Ubah’s Capital Oil got that fund from the Bank, the cumulative interest will be over 45% of the principal. This takes me to the question: who is sabotaging our Nation’s economy here if not the govt ?

19- When Govt’s Business Attitude negates Private Business growth as examplified by the Commercial Behaviour of NNPC against Capital Oil, businesses collapse and the economy will be grossly affected. If capital oil goes down due to the negligent attitude of the govt, it will create panic which will scare away intending investors in a time our economy is begging for job creating platforms. I am worried .

20- It is no more secret that since the effort to robe Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah to what the media called Dasukigate failed as they could not find anything that connects him to that. Since then, they have been moving from one issue to the other .

21- Nigerians should also be informed that attempt was also made to link the activities of TAN in 2015 election campaign to govt money which they found out also that TAN operated from efforts of private volunteers without govt fund . They now move to another issue .

22- Today, Nigerians are watching as they are working hard to criminalize a pure commercial transaction in order to get a target. Attempt to turn a well written contractual business understanding between NNPC and Dr.Ubah’s Capital Oil is a pointer to economic sabotage on the part of the govt.

23- When a govt agency refers the effort of a private citizen who has been working very hard to contribute his quota in moving our country’s economy forward as ‘sabotage’, then Economic doom looms. Nigerians know those that have been sabotaging and still sabotaging the economy of this country since 1960 till date .

24- Adopting Media trial can only entertain Nigerians and hurt economy. At the end, it will not solve the fundamental economic challenges of the nation, neither will it resolve the conflicts from the commercial transactions between NNPC and Capital Oil .

25- We challenge NNPC or DSS lawyer to publish any breach of the content of the agreement between NNPC and Capital Oil that made the Contract performing process between NNPC and Capital Oil a criminal act or economic sabotage on the part of Capital Oil .Even when the product in question was sold to Nigerians in need to cushion National scarcity..

………………………………….
My prayer is that we redirect our steps as a country .

Nigerians and International community are watching .

21- Nigerians should also be informed that attempt was also made to link the activities of TAN in 2015 election campaign to govt money which they found out also that TAN operated from efforts of private volunteers without govt fund . They now move to another issue .

22- Today, Nigerians are watching as they are working hard to criminalize a pure commercial transaction in order to get a target. Attempt to turn a well written contractual business understanding between NNPC and Dr.Ubah’s Capital Oil is a pointer to economic sabotage on the part of the govt.

23- When a govt agency refers the effort of a private citizen who has been working very hard to contribute his quota in moving our country’s economy forward as ‘sabotage’, then Economic doom looms. Nigerians know those that have been sabotaging and still sabotaging the economy of this country since 1960 till date .

24- Adopting Media trial can only entertain Nigerians and hurt economy. At the end, it will not solve the fundamental economic challenges of the nation, neither will it resolve the conflicts from the commercial transactions between NNPC and Capital Oil .

25- We challenge NNPC or DSS lawyer to publish any breach of the content of the agreement between NNPC and Capital Oil that made the Contract performing process between NNPC and Capital Oil a criminal act or economic sabotage on the part of Capital Oil .Even when the product in question was sold to Nigerians in need to cushion National scarcity..

………………………………….
My prayer is that we redirect our steps as a country .

Nigerians and International community are watching .

The court asked you to produce Dr Ifeanyi Ubah, DSS failed to do so without any reason what-so-ever.

The DSS accusation that Mr Ubah committed an economic sabotage is punishable by death is very baseless and senseless. These pms, was it exported out of Nigeria to neighboring West African Countries or was it sold to Nigerians? These pms was sold in Nigeria to Nigerians. Mr Ubah did not drink the N11bn pms.Nigerians should also be made to know the truth that NNPC owes Dr ubah N16b too and it is because NNPC is owned by the FG so they have decided not to pay their own dept but to intimidate Dr Ubah.

Several times NNPC forgot heeding the call for a round table discussion so business dispute should be discussed and solved. Suddenly, NNPC employed DSS to come and collect debt. Has DSS been suddenly converted to a debt collector?

Did NNPC inform DSS that they have been borrowing product also from Capital Oil on more than 3 ocassions this year?

Will they also be condemned to death for borrowing product from a private citizen to support their inefficiency or incompetence? Nigerians should expect more expose as there is ample evidence to show that Capital Oil borrowed NNPC petroleum products to cover their inefficiencies.

DSS/NNPC are only trying to use their FEDERAL MIGHT to bully Dr Ubah maybe because of his involvement in TAN and they found nothing to rope him into Dasukigate. They now want to use this transaction/impasse between Capital Oil and Gas and NNPC as sort of a payback for the waves TAN made.

If this commercial dispute is punishable by death, what becomes of those that were involved in crude swap without delivering petroleum product or remitting the money for over 3 years of loading Capital Oil's crude oil.

What of those that stole crude? In their first press release and in the lagos court, they said Dr. Ubah was inciting tanker drivers which translates to economic sabotage in their thinking.

When they could not substantiate their claim with any proof, they subsequently changed gear to allege that Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah was trying to cause scarcity by distributing petroleum products and hence, a capital crime punishable by death.

DSS accusation is very senseless indeed.

moderatedguy:
Ubah should return the money to NNPC so as not to give his detractors the opportunity to rubbish his name.In as much as I dont support what DSS is doing,Ubah shouldn't have sold the PMS without NNPCs permission.That's stealing.He should be wise and try to settle out of court.He will always loose the case in court.

Let DSS produce Dr Ubah first, let them argue it in court. Has DSS turn to judge and executioner at once? Let Nigerians know who is at fault and who is not at fault. Nigerians can see in between this false propaganda by DSS.

ILLEGAL DETENTION: DSS shuns court order, keeps Ubah in continued detention




The Department of State Services (DSS) Friday failed to produce Managing Director of Capital Oil and Gas Limited, Ifeanyi Ubah, as ordered by Justice Mohammed Idris of the Federal High Court in Lagos.
The DSS instead filed a preliminary objection challenging the court’s jurisdiction to entertain Ubah’s suit.

Mr Peter Oluremodu, counsel to the DSS said Ubah was not produced because there was an order to detain him for 14 days issued by a Federal Capital Territory High Court.

Justice Idris had on May 9 ordered the DSS to produce Ubah in court to show cause why he should not be released unconditionally.

But, Ubah’s lawyer, Mr Raphael Oluyede, urged Justice Idris to hold that the DSS violated his order by not producing Ubah in court today.

He said the FCT High Court’s order was obtained to frustrate Justice Idris’ order, adding that it amounted to a challenge of the court’s majesty.

“The respondents have not shown cause as why they failed to comply with your lordship’s order. Instead, they took steps to subvert the order. They acted in contempt of that order.

“The court in Abuja was not informed about the order to produce him in Lagos. Their preliminary objection is not relevant to the consideration of whether they have obeyed the order to produce him.

“I urge your lordship to consider the dignity of the court as paramount and to order Ubah’s unconditional release,” he said.

Oluyede said Ubah was first arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS) on March 27 and was released on April 13, after three weeks in detention.

He said Ubah was “coerced” to sign a document acknowledging indebtedness to the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and to pledge some of his assets.

He said the DSS also forced him to withdraw a fundamental rights suit he filed before he was released.

He said after Ubah’s release, he approached the court again to stop his re-arrest.

Oluyede said when the DSS invited Ubah, he wrote the agency about his pending suit.

The lawyer said the DSS arrested his client despite being told about the suit.

He accused the DSS of abusing its powers, and urged the court to hold that Ubah’s detention was contemptuous.

Ruling, Justice Idris, visibly disappointed with the maneuverings, held that it would be wrong for him to order for Ubah’s release since a court of coordinate jurisdiction had issued an order that he be detained for 14 days.

Justice Idris said his records show that the DSS was served with his order on May 10.

“It appears that on the same date, ie, May 10, 2017, the fourth and fifth respondents (DSS and its Director-General) obtained from an FCT High Court an order allowing them to detain the first applicant (Ubah) in their custody for an initial period of 14 days pending the completion of investigation.

“It is clear that there is a direct conflict between the order of this court and the order of my learned brother Y. Haliru J. A conflict situation has been created. It is sad and unfortunate.

“Courts of coordinate jurisdiction have been cautioned in situations like this. I will in the circumstances of this case and the pronouncements of the learned Law Lords of the Supreme Court, act ex abundanti cautela (Latin phrase for ‘out of abundant caution’).

“I will not make any order that will have the effect of neutralising the orders made by the FCT High Court. There must be discipline in the law. In insist on discipline in the law.

“In the light of the orders of the FCT High Court made on the 10th of May 2017, I will not make an order for the release of the applicant.

“Since the parties in this case have been served and the matter had been adjourned till the 18th day of May 2017, I shall adjourn till the 18th day of May 2017 when the substantive suit and all objection on jurisdiction will be taken together. This is the order of the court.”

Ubah prayed the court to compel DSS release him from its custody.

The EFCC, the DSS Director-General, NNPC and the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) are among the respondents.

The DSS arrested Ubah over alleged “economic sabotage” and “illegal sale of petroleum products stored in his tank farm by the NNPC”.

“So far, it has been established that the products stolen amount to over N11billion,” the DSS said in a statement.

In a supporting affidavit to Ubah’s application, Capital Oil’s Secretary, George Oranuba, said the arrest was over allegations made by the NNPC and AMCON, which were already subject of a lawsuit.

Oranuba said a “throughput agreement” between Capital Oil and NNPC allows for “conversion and diversion of products by ‘operators’ so long as the operator is prepared to re-deliver the products within seven days of demand by the product’s owner or to pay a penalty for non-re-delivery”.

According to him, the failure to re-deliver was a “mere” breach of contract, which can be remedied by the payment of penalty to the owner, and was not a criminal act for which Ubah should be arrested.

“The throughput agreement expressly states that any penalty due for non-re-delivery is to be treated as a debt and I verily believe that law enforcement agencies are not allowed to operate as debt collectors,” the deponent said.

Oranuba also said NNPC was indebted to Capitol Oil in “excess of N16billion”, yet the company did not call law enforcement agencies to collect the debt.

Lawyers Describe Ubah's Ilegal Detention as Rape of Constitution


There is heightened expectation that the Department of State Services (DSS) will comply with the order of Jus­tice Muhammed Idris of the Federal High Court, Lagos, to produce Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah in court today.
Ubah has been in the cus­tody of DSS since May 6. Jus­tice Idris had ordered the DSS to produce Ubah in court last Friday – and to show cause why he should not be released un­conditionally.
But the DSS defied the or­der and refused to produce Ubah in court. This made the judge to extend the order to to­day.

Meanwhile, Nigerians from different walks of life have con­tinued to condemn the con­tinued detention of Ubah, the Chairman of Capital Oil and Gas Industries Ltd., over a commercial transaction with the Nigerian National Petrole­um Corporation (NNPC).
Some prominent lawyers have added their voice to the condemnation of the contin­ued detention of Ubah by the DSS.
Barrister Charles Olumba, the Principal Partner of Eg­wurugwu Chambers, in Ow­erri, the Imo State capital, said yesterday that the DSS action is a complete rape of the na­tion’s constitution and against the tenets of the law.
He told newsmen that the fundamental rights of Ubah as enshrined in the 1999 Consti­tution (as amended) as well as the United Nations Charter of Equity of which Nigeria is sig­natory to have been violated.
The lawyer pointed out that the law gives the DSS an im­petus of 24 hours detention on arrest to arraign the accused in court for trial and other ac­tions, stressing that the accused is perceived to be innocent be­fore the law.
According to him, “there is an indication that in this coun­try, her citizens’ rights are of­ten trampled upon without re­course. This is an insult on the judiciary and a threat to the nation’s hard-earned democ­racy”.
“There is no legal backing for the DSS to keep Ubah in detention for over two weeks without trial. His rights have been violated.”
The legal luminary advised the DSS to retrace the action and obey the court order since the company is a legal enti­ty and it transacted business with NNPC which is another legal entity.
Also, Barr. Kissinger Ikeokwu, a human rights ac­tivist and frontline legal prac­titioner in Imo State, described Ubah’s detention as “absolutely wrong and reckless on the part of the Federal Government. It is a total infringement on his fundamental human rights and the DSS have no business to prosecute him because what happened was purely a con­tractual agreement.”
Ikeokwu continued: “This kind of impunity is being done in a country were the Acting President is a Professor of Law and a Senior Advocate of Ni­geria (SAN). It is totally unfair that the rights of Nigerian citi­zens are being abused and vio­lated by her own government.”
He insisted that due to the impunity of the security agen­cies, the country, under the present democratic dispensa­tion, has gone “two steps for­ward and 10 steps backwards. It is quite absurd that Nigeri­an security agencies have no respect for the citizens’ funda­mental human rights.”
Similarly, an Onitsha-based human rights lawyer, Barr. M. F. Uzoigwe, of the Madukaego Uzoigwe and Associates Cham­bers, told The AUTHORITY that the DSS has done every­thing illegal in arresting Ubah without first conducting its investigation into the alleged crime.
He condemned the de­tention of the business mogul beyond the constitutionally acceptable period without ar­raigning him in court.
Uzoigwe added that diso­beying a court order and go­ing beyond its constitutional role to perform the duty of debt recovery was against the spir­it and intent of the 1999 Con­stitution.
Barr. A.N.C Akonanya of the of the Akonanya and Co/Obochie Chambers, Awka, said: “My take on the continued detention of Ifeanyi Ubah with­out trying him in a law court is that the agency has left its con­stitutional duty to go into oth­er things. The DSS has its roles and duties as provided by its enabling Act, none of which is debt recovery”.
“Even if Ubah has any case to answer in his transaction with the NNPC, it is a civil case which the ordinary court can settle. Even if the DSS should come into the matter, there is a period stipulated by the law (24 hours) within which the accused person must be ar­raigned. It is unlawful to keep him this long in detention and even go as long as disobeying an order issued by a competent court that he should be brought to court on a particular date.”
“Some federal agencies are reminding us of the horrors of military regime without un­derstanding that Nigeria has long passed the era”.
He urged the DSS to be civ­il enough to do what is need­ful.
A rights activist and an Abia State-based constitu­tional layer, Dr. Anthony Ag­bazuere, called for the imme­diate release of Ubah from the DSS detention.
Agbazuere described his continued detention as “ab­surd, total illegality and an in­fringement of his fundamental rights.”
He argued that it would be illogical for the NNPC to owe Ubah a whopping N16 billion and persecute him for owing them N11 billion.
“If the information we have that the NNPC is owing him N16 billion is correct, they should pay him the balance and apologise to him,” Agba­zuere said.
The former Commissioner for Information and Strategies, Abia State, also added that the DSS should apologise to Ubah for holding him illegally if it is proven that NNPC owes him N16 billion.
CNPP declares arrest political vendetta
The Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) in An­ambra State has declared that it is enough of the DSS intimida­tion and harassment of Ubah.
A statement issued by state Secretary of CNPP, Comrade Peter Okala, read in part: “…enough is enough on the rascal­ity of DSS, the detention before investigation is an act of vendet­ta and envy of the highest order, that the Nigerian youths need encouragement and not perse­cution.”
“Let there be an investiga­tion that conforms with inter­nationally accepted standard that is free from abuse, judge­ment and execution on the pages of newspapers.”
Angry youths ground commercial activities in Nnewi
Angry youths of Nnewi community in Nnewi North Government Area of An­ambra State on Wednesday trooped to the streets to pro­test the continued incarcera­tion of their kinsman, Ubah, by the DSS.
The youths, under the ae­gis of Nnewi Youth Forum, carried placards and marched through all the quarters and major markets in the commer­cial and industrial town chant­ing anti-government’s songs.
Traders in Agbaedo Spare Parts Market, New Auto Spare Parts Market, Nkwo Major Market, Orie-Agbo Market and other markets in the town locked their shops and joined the solidarity march.
Inscriptions in some of the placards read: “DSS, Obey Court Order; Please, Take Ifeanyi Ubah to Court, We Are in a Democratic Era; This Is Democracy, Not Military Rule; Is There No More Respect for Rule of Law and Human Rights in Nigeria?”
Addressing newsmen dur­ing the rally, the group’s Presi­dent-General, Hon. Onyekwelu Udeze, and the Secretary-Gen­eral, Prince Ezenwa Nwachuk­wu, said: “Nnewi Youth Forum has condemned in strong terms the continued detention of Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah by the DSS, without trial, not to talk of obeying a court order.”
“We have watched with keen interest the harassment and detention of Ubah by this security agency over a business transaction with the NNPC where both parties have claims.”
“It is now public knowledge that some persons or agencies have vowed to nail Dr. Ubah by all means. They have pur­sued this agenda with vigour like the proverbial stubborn fly that follows the corpse to the grave. These enemies of pro­gress have not come to terms with the historic success and contributions of Dr. Ubah to the nation’s economic growth and job creation, particularly among the youths.”
“We condemn a situation where people are detained be­fore investigations are carried out on the issue leading to their arrest. The refusal of the DSS to respect a court order is uncon­stitutional and it goes against the very foundation of our le­gal system. This breeds impu­nity, and no reasonable govern­ment will condone it”.
“We wish to emphatically state that the DSS should obey the court order and arraign Ubah to court or release him without further delay”.

@Austinpee4, please can you be so kind to review my SOP. I intend submitting my application on Monday. I need someone who's good to review my SOP

Austinpee4:

One of the main perogative of the visa officer is to make sure the program choosen by applicants is right!

Once a VO picks up the application form, sees academic and work experience,that in itself has formed the greater part of the decision about the applicant's application.

They most likely will look at the applicant's primary intentions of studying in canada before the secondary parts begin to play out. Besides, what if you spend all the millions to acquire a masters of french lang in canada and the company does not send you there but rather employ a native french speaking national resident in your desired country(This will even be economically likely for any company to do),what then happens to the master you have gotten in canada? Use it in nigeria to get another job that is not likely? (if i can think like this as an ordinary person, what will you expect of people that have been trained for such purposes)

Those visa officers see pass what we all submit as applications. Everything must add up clearly and explicitly.

Hello house, great work you guys. I've really learnt alot in this forum and I'm still learning anyway. Please I have some few questions to ask and I will be grateful if someone can clarify this for me.

I'm planning to submit my application on Monday {Paper route}. Before I submit, I want to be very sure that my application is on the right track {Especially with my 'purpose of visit'}. I studied Electrical/Electronic Engineering, and I have 2 years as a Telecoms Engineer and 2 years also as a Network Administrator in a Media firm. I have gotten admission to study Information Technology Solutions in Humber College, and I am actually seeking for someone {with a sound knowledged of understanding and writing a good SOP} who can help me review my SOP to see if really I gave a good explanation why I want to study Information Technology Solutions in Canada instead of a course program related to Electrical/Electronic Engineering so that I can make any necessary correction before I go ahead to submit it on Monday.

I will be really grateful if someone can help me in this aspect. Thank you.

Please house, I want to pay for my visa application online. How do I go about it.

Thank you.

BlackMbakara1:


He erred bro' he's rendering a service which will be paid to him to house the product. Even if NNPC was owing him, there's always a swap agreement that you've been owing me this and ur product here can offset this or that...should i go ahead and sell and take my money. Atleast there's an asking and definitely there will be a consent in favour or against. Not stealing!!!!

Are you aware that countless times in the past, Capital Oil have brought this debt to the attention of NNPC that they should sit down and do an audit in order to know how much NNPC owes the organisation and how to go about the payment of this debt. And countless times, NNPC have not honored this invitation. What do you expect Dr Ifeanyi Ubah to do when pressure is on him to pay his workers who are being owed for up to 5 months in this recession Nigeria into.

I'm not saying what Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah did is right, but when a man is hungry, and he knows that you're owing him a huge sum of money, and you're living large, he becomes desperate to collect his money from you, if not all at least part of it.

Dr Ifeanyi Ubah shouldn't be blamed for his actions. NNPC should arrange a meeting with Capital Oil and settle this matter amicably. DSS also shouldn't have been brought into this matter, because as far as I am concerned, from the article posted, there is no 'economic sabotage' in this matter.

BlackMbakara1:
But seriously what he did is wrong. Na only him government dey owe?

Shortage of petroleum product diverted or hoarded can create panic and likely unrest in the economy...

Even teachers never start to dey sell government properties.

But teachers go on strike if they are even owed for 5 months talk more of a company that has a work force of over 2,000 people. Don't you know that Capital Oil is being owed for 2 years?

Don't you think that as a result of NNPC not paying their debt, that Ifeanyi Ubah is owing his staff for at least more than 6 months, yet he has not retrench anybody?

Don't you think he may have been under pressure to act like that due to the debt he is owing his workers?

Put yourself in his shoes, if an organization owes you money for services which you've rendered for 3 months, won't you protest or stop rendering such service?

Let's be considerate. What about the family men working for Ifeanyi Ubah, won't they eat and pay school fees for their Children?

Look Naija is not easy for any businessman . Let's not be thinking like we don't have conscience.

Sometimes it amazes me how all these govt agency tend to use and abuse DSS by arresting innocent citizens. Okay why won't NNPC use other mediums to settle this dispute? Do they want the workers of Capital Oil to become jobless by not paying the sum of money owed to Capital Oil? A person who renders any form of service to any individual or organization deserves to be paid and two years is long time to owe any organization, considering the fact that we are in this buhari recession.

Austinpee4:

Some of us here dey sabi worry ourselves over nothing!

While it is good to substantiate with evidence about being employed, there are other documents to add to proof this, EMPLOYMENT LETTER is one of such!

If you choose to add other documents to your application fine. I will agree with @Chimah3 and @MichV on different points.

The main essence of adding your payslip, SOA should be to show that you too beside sponsorship have been earning cash from what you claimed you are doing and more especially to show that you can earn enough to pay for subsequent year(s) in a case of self sponsorship.

On the other hand, if you are sponsored and feel that by adding your SOA, etc, you will complicate you application, kindly leave it out. A signed letter from your organisation, recommendations, attestation etc will show proof that you have been engaged with such establishment. The MAIN benefit of being sponsored is that your sponsor now takes full responsibility of ALL your financial obligations. If you have other assets to add in your name, good.

IRCC will most certainly asses your capacity (sponsored or self sponsored) to meet all financial demands and requirement during the entire duration of your study in canada especially your first year. The stronger they are, the better your chance.

Adding SOA or NOT should be dependent on the point(s) your are trying to proof.(eg, sponsor transferred funds to you, you also have savings, you have earnings that will be coming to you even while studying, sponsoring yourself). It shouldn't be a trend to follow. Most important thing should be that your financial capability and statement meet all the requirements as stipulated by the IRCC act.

Thank you bros, thank you so much. You have really made my mind settle down about this challenge.
