Oniemo:@Oniemo Good afternoon. My farm is located on Lagos Ibadan expressway. You can send me an email on adetunde.ojo@gmail.com or you can drop your email address or phone details and I will reach out to you. |
obailala:That Defence may fly in the face of logic if it is proven that Dokpesi collected the said amount from NSA and spent the same as he could be prosecuted for being an accomplice for allowing his account to be used for money laundering. The case of madam Agama (Allison Maduekwe's mother) comes to mind. The case is even more serious with Mike Ozekhome admitting that his client never did any business with the office of the NSA. Either way these people would have their day(s) in the court. |
Oniemo:My experience at Oke-Aro was not too fantastic. Note I was there for a year before I moved to my permanent site. I only used the place to multiply my herd size. The issues I had with the place are as follows: Disadvantages: 1. The environment is very unkempt and dirty. The secretariat is not doing as much as they should be doing. 2. The attendants there are mostly fraudsters who are out to milk newbies. 3. The proximate positioning of many farms makes it very easy for your attendant to sell your feed. 4. Most farmers aren't ready to help you; they are just out to take advantage of your ignorance. 5. You have no control over bio security. Advantages: 1. It is easier for you to sell few animals. You can sell even one because the buyers aggregate their purchases by taking a few here and there to make up their need. 2. It is easier to source for feed. You can buy one or 2 bags or as many as you require. On your own personal farm you won't enjoy this luxury. I will advise that you look for a successful pig farmer who is willing to share his experience with you while he allows you to have some hands on by renting out space and other resources to you. Cheers. |
AdviserGeneral:That System Specs returned the money does not make the deduction illegal. They (System Specs) have already written to the President - I do hope you know - stating their sides of the story and requesting the President to assist in ensuring remittance according to the contractual agreement. The Company's action of returning the money shows that they are not willing to resort to self help or to go through litigation if it can be avoided. I think they have shown good faith with regards to that but mark my words, should the Federal Government refuse to pay that 1% commission that has accrued (the #8.6 Billion) then we should expect that Systems Specs will approach the Law Courts to legally enforce their contractual rights and that may come with interest charges on delayed payments as well and then we would all know the meaning of illegality. Cheers! |
AdviserGeneral:At the bolded, what is illegal in a contract that was won through a competitive bidding process and payment made on the basis of that contractual agreement? Was it that the service was not rendered and payment was made to the vendor or that the vendor deducted beyond the 1% agreed? For God's sake Dino is a Senator of the federal Republic, an indepedent arm of government that is armed with checkmating the excesses of the Executive arm. If as a Senetor he over-looks a seemingly suspected fraud against the treasury of the Nation in the name of fellow party member, then the survival of this country will be in danger. Dino is not fighting President Buhari, rather he is fighting corruption. He raised the alarm to notify the populace he is representing of the illegal transaction going on. If not because of Dino alarm, System Specs wouldn't have returned the #8.6 Billion they deducted. We are in a democratic system for crying out loud; everything about the government must be transparent, and not shrewded in secrecy.I would not blame Dino Melaye or any other person for raising questions over this issue. However, the unfounded allegations that he made while at it suggests a not so noble objective. For a Senator who has access to information more than an average citizen to publicly state that "a Company stole $25 billion in a single day for doing nothing was alarming". At least, if senate had queries they could have invited CBN,System Specs and other parties for clarification and at the end of the day, they can make available their findings to the public instead of making mockery of themselves |
cymidas:PMB could not have reviewed a contract that was signed, sealed and delivered as it was in this case. What he could have done was to wait for the expiration of time, if the contract had a tenor. |
emmasege:From the beginning it was public knowledge that GEJ conceived the TSA through Okonjo Iweala, however the angst was that Jonathan didn't ensure that there was a compliance with the policy directive. The accolade that PMB enjoyed was as a result of enforcing compliance. At least this issue was roundly debated on this forum and other places. |
modath:Modath nice suggestion there. However find some of my thoughts below: (1)it might be difficult to renegotiate a contract that is already in force except there is a clause that allows that in the original contract. For instance if the contract had tenor it might be renegotiated at the expiration of the period (2) if the vendor (System Specs) was selected through a competitive bidding process (as we have learnt) by the outgone regime of GEJ why didn't anybody question the 1% charge which is to be shared by System Specs, Commercial Banks and CBN? (3) the very people who didn't allow GEJ to fully implement the noble TSA initiative are still around and they aren't going to give up without a fight (4) before the introduction of TSA what were the charges like? Some banks were charging as high as 25% and yet they were round tripping by lending the money back to govt at say another 20-25% Now, how government kept her money with banks and the banks were lending same to govt beats me. It was a scheme that was enriching the mafias in the banking industry. That explains why it was difficult for the banks to lend money to the real sector as govt as a lender was more attractive. (5) in engaging System Specs on this issue (and I support this) government has to be tactful because the contract is legally enforceable and there could be a penalty clause for abrupt termination of the contract especially where it can not be established that the vendor (System Specs) has breached any of the contractual terms and conditions. (6) lastly, we have to be careful because it is System Specs today and it could be another Company tomorrow. We should not send signals to entrepreneurs that whatever contract we entered into with our govt may be willfully terminated at any time. |
banki:It is because of people like Fayose that PDP lost the election at the centre and it is because of such people PDP will keep losing. In the run ups to the 2015 Presidential Election, instead of PDP concentrating on the achievements of GEJ and their future plans for the country they were busy wasting time on peddling falsehoods against the person of PMB. Do they really think that we are that stupid not to discern when they are peddling falsehoods? I was hoping that they would change their strategies to win more liberal minded electorates but nope they aren't done yet with their failing strategy. |
Bisjosh:But where is our sense of national pride and security. Are you suggesting that you prefer the way MTN willfully disregarded the directive of the NCC leading to the situation where our fellow citizens were being kidnapped by kidnappers who used unregistered SIM. Besides a lot of Nigerians who had businesses that employed south Africans were not spared xenophobic attacks simply because some south Africans would lose their jobs. National security is an overriding objective. |
chiddye:Very good observation bro. PDP hasn't come to terms with the fact that the fate of any contestant or party would be determined by the electorates come 2019 and not some godfather or party bigwigs. Only the performance of the current office holders of PDP extraction can sway the voting public when the time comes otherwise they will only share their money in vain. The same thing holds true for APC and other parties. |
simplyOJ:I could not have said it better, God bless u my brother. While APC may not be a perfect party PDP should be ashamed of herself. These foolish old men who had contributed in no small measure to the failing economy are talking about non implementation of campaign promises for a party that is less than 1 year old in govt. How many campaign promises did PDP implement while the party held sway for 16 years? |
Firefire:Great post! Despite your political inclination you have deemed it fit to wish these ministers God's guidance; this is a lesson for others; there is a time for campaign, there is a time for election. Once winners emerge we have to move on and pray for their success. God bless Nigeria and God bless u too. |
TonyeBarcanista:Unfortunately the law is an ass! The judges can't give any relief that is not sought by the petitioner. You may need to advise us if this relief was sought by the petitioner in Benue. |
Salmoneus:Actually PDP screwed the country for 16 years as against the 9 years you mentioned |
ishiamu:Haba this line of thought is an all time low! PDP like APC, MTN is a body corporate having a legal personality which makes it possible for it to sue and be sued . It is a matter of fact that when a Chelsea FC wins the league with players that has just joined the club from other clubs, the win is that of Chelsea and the trophy is the club's. It is a fact that PDP destroyed Nigeria for 16 years and some of the key players are now in APC however the fact that a player didn't perform in a club does not mean that he can never perform in another club. Whether or not a player performs would depend on the philosophy of the club, the coach, the corporate vision and mission as well as other factors. Whether APC performs or not will be judged after 4 years and the electorates can then give a judgment of PASS or FAIL at the polls! You guys should stop demarketing PDP for 2019 is around the corner. Who would vote for a party that claims not to be responsible for the actions of her members when in fact they are her agents?! |
Mee234:From the original post we can deduce that the groom was not aware of the practice of shoe removal. And on the spot, he could have sensed something wrong or diabolical in the request hence his refusal. Do not be deceived not all churches are of Christ these days! |
mazeltov:The very few examples you highlighted underscore the inclination of PDP towards hypocrisy. Obuah never condemned the PDP senators who escorted the Senate President to CCT for his trial for corruption. I maintain that PDP has not discovered why they lost the last elections. I pray that a new set of leaders who can lead PDP aright emerge in the interest of democratic pluralism. |
Raiders:Are you suggesting that NCC should overrule itself on a fine that was in existence prior to when MTN wilfully violated the agreed terms to which all operators were parties? If this is done to help MTN how would you compensate other operators who complied with NCC's directives? How do you intend to compensate families whose loved ones are kidnapped (some of them killed in the process) because your beloved MTN refused to comply with the directive of a regulator? It will be interesting to read your perspectives on these few points that I have raised so that we can holistically look at the issue |
Episteme2:Does the PDP as a party not want to warm its way into the hearts of Nigerians. I think the party is going about the wrong way and that they haven't learnt their lessons from their last electoral loss, which should have suggested to them that Nigerians have become wiser. How do you explain the position of PDP on Amechi vis-a-vis the party's position on the following: 1. That Saraki should not be tried and while being tried he must remain Senate President (in fact, a couple of them served as his body guards to his trial) 2. That Buruji Kashamu should not be extradited 3. That the trial of former NSA, Sambo Dasuki is witch hunting 4. That Akpabio can remain minority leader despite the several allegations hanging on his neck If the party holds the positions above on the basis of presumption of innocence, why are they not extending the same courtesy to Amechi, especially when the issue was in court. It is trite that you can not approbrate and reprobate at the same time. How more unprincipled will the present PDP get. Pray, does it not smack of crass stupidity and Political tomfoolery to preempt the court of law: Ministers do not enjoy immunity (and I very much doubt if a minister undergoing trial will enjoy the the escort services of fellow ministers as was witnessed with the senators), I will therefore encourage the PDP to bring any documentary evidence of financial mismanagement to the relevant agencies and make it available for the public to ensure follow up rather this resort to political gangsterism. |
Mogidi:How come GEJ won in 2011 even with the allegation of child voters in the election of that year? PDP ruined itself and until the party realized that, then it may be difficult to repair the UMBRELLA. So far so good, the party has blamed everyone and everything for its fortunes but sadly the party hasn't blamed itself! |
ijustdey:This is pretty sad and it reminds of Dele Udo, a promising Nigerian athlete who was killed in cold blood, reportedly by some trigger happy policeman way back. It is an accident waiting to happen when we leave the police force with touts and nitwits. The brainy ones among the police are very few right now, as a matter of urgency our govt needs to reposition d d force to attract great minds. RIP to the fallen heroine |
TonyeBarcanista:Very apt response. If we, the masses, unite against these thieves looting our common patrimony then Nigeria will be on the path of greatness. The thieves come from north, south and they are never divided in their pursuit of looting our common wealth. All thieves from Yoruba, South South, South East and Northern Nigeria should be brought to book. The 'polithievians' do not show us mercy when looting us; they deserve no mercy. |
lawanson44:You can critique the government and even the President. But while you do it, be guided not to run foul of the laws of the land. Inciting violence and bodily harm against the President is not a wise thing to do, a word is enough for the wise. Stay blessed! |
adeyemi2015:When I heard Akpabio made that statement I was shocked to the marrow. Bad governance does not deserve being partisan, at the end of the day all the people bear the brunt regardless of party affiliations. |
engrsyer:The last time I checked the youths we had in the past like like Dimeji Bankole, Salisu Buhari et all disappointed us. Let us make competence the prerequisite for appointments and not age. I tell you for a fact, that we the youths of today need to change our value system before we can provide effective leadership. God bless us all. |
INTROVERT:While we may not know the definite reason for waiting 4 months before releasing this list we can only hazard some guesses. And just maybe he needed the security agencies to clear some of the nominees. He might have requested the agencies to confirm the veracity of some of the allegations levelled against some of the would be ministers. |
@op, your observations are well thought out let me add that the Chinese are the ones who practise this 'help your kith and kins to the U.S' the most. As a matter of fact, I have noticed that if care is not taken they may overrun the original Yankees. All around UC Davis and San Francisco you find them in droves either studying or working. However to adopt this style for Nigerians, we must: 1. Improve the level of trust we have in each other because a lot of people have gotten into some deep shit trying to help a brother 2. Nigerians must endeavour to set up businesses rather than taking up paid employment cos that way u might find it easier to employ other Nigerians. 3. We must equally desist from the fast lane cos America is an unforgiving system when it comes to criminals, once you have a a criminal record, your chances of living a good life are slim not to talk of helping someone else. |
While I appreciate the work that Fashola did in Lagos i would appreciate if he is excused from this list pending the investigation of the alleged corruption by the agencies empowered to investigate such. However, while I appreciate the whistleblowers' role being played by CACOL in this case, I do not understand why it is difficult for CACOL to campaign for Bukola Saraki to step down as the Senate president while undergoing trial for alleged corruption as well. |
maestroferddi:I advise you not to put your life on the line for some of these criminal politicians, I personally wouldn't do that! Having assumed the improbability of Diezani stealing the alleged amount, what would you do or say if she ends up pleading guilty to the offence. Recall that right here in Nigeria, Ibori pleaded not guilty to the same offences to which he pleaded guilty in the UK. |
tayo52:Hello @tayo52 can you provide the details of the guy in charge of brewery waste in Ibadan. I earnestly await your response. Thanks. |
ARKdiscloser7:Perhaps Saraki is devil personified, that may explain why they were stoning him. This guy's actions in Societe Generale Bank led to the death of a lot of depositors; destinies were cut short. It is a pity! |
