PoliticsRe: Buhari Shut Ibeto Cement, Halts Shipment Of Cement For Unknown Reason by Trut(op): 8:44am On Dec 07, 2015

I hope this isn't true.
I wouldn't be too surprised knowing dangote schemed against ibeto during jonathan's tenure.
Being a business person, I can relate and empathise with ibeto.
The news is true, Ibeto cement is scarce in the market. You can ask any cement dealers that sells Ibeto cement.
PoliticsBuhari Shut Ibeto Cement, Halts Shipment Of Cement For Unknown Reason by Trut(op):
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.

Information available to 247ureports.com obtained from sources knowledgeable of the goings on within the Presidency indicate that the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Mohammadu Buhari may have knowingly or unknowingly approved the decision by his kitchen cabinet to halt the shipment ofcement belonging to the Nnewi business mogul, Chief Cletus Ibeto, the Chief Executive Officer [CEO] of Ibeto Cement company. This is as247ureports.com gathered that of the entire importers of cement in the federation, only Ibeto cement was halted from reaching the shores of Nigeria. According to available information, an approval of yearly importation quota of 1.5million metric tons of cement was giving to Ibeto by the federal governmentof Nigeria. And as gathered, the company – Ibeto Cement had complied. However, with the arrival of the President Mohammadu Buhari led administration, the rules of the game changed midway.

The arrival inevitably struck the importation arrangement of Ibeto Cement with a bad fist. The policy makers of the Buhari kitchen cabinet quickly sought to halt the shipment of cement by Ibeto cement through means that appeared illegal or simply misuse of power. The President’s men took to the garnet when they got information that Ibeto Company had a shipment of cement on the high-seas making its way into the country. They immediately ordered the shipment be halted and not allowed entry into Nigerian ports.

As the managers of Ibeto Company inquired on the reasons for the refusal to allow the ship to dock, the kitchen cabinet of the President immediately searched the law books but could not give an immediate reasons or quote a law that supported its actions. The CEO of the cement company, after lobbying for weeks to find out why the President’s men stopped his shipment, was told that the source of the money which he [Ibeto] used to import the said cement was not sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria [CBN] – and so the shipment will not be allowed to offload in Nigeria.

247ureports.com gathered however that the Ibeto Company had applied for foreign exchange from the CBN but were denied. The cement company then sought alternative means to gain access to the required foreign currency to make the purchases of which he had already be given a quota to supply. Through the company’s investments outside the country, they sought foreign currency to make the purchase. The shipment of cement was then thrown into gear for an estimated arrival to Nigeria by November 2015.

But the cement shipment was stopped. The stoppage of the cement, interestingly, coincided with the sudden drop in cement prices of the major cement supplier in Nigeria, Dangote Cement Company. A source who is close to the former administration pointed out that the stoppage of Ibeto was not without the influence of Aliko Dangote. “He has done it before during the Obasanjo regime and we are sure he is the one pulling the strings against Ibeto because he is afraid of competition from a south easterner” claims the source who also clarified that the present administration may have taken on the battle to reverse all the gains – both perceived and real – that the south easterner may have attained during the realm of the former administration.

The move by the Buhari administration comes following a new milestone scored by the Ibeto group – in its recent contract agreement with a China company to produce 6,000metric tons of Cement in Enugu State, south east Nigeria. Zhejiang Sinoma Engineering Design & Research Institute Co., Ltd had entered into a $368million with Ibeto Cement for 6000 tons of cement clinker production line from crushing limestone mining, cement raw materials to packaging, shipped to the whole process and a 45MW captive power plant, covering engineering design, equipment, steel and material supply, civil works, installation, commissioning and personnel training. Insider source acknowledge that the type of agreement is unprecedented in the mining industry in Nigeria. “It may threaten Dangote’s continued dominance in the industry”. Ibeto Company alreay operates a similar facility in Port Harcourt, River State. The Rivers State facility also produces 6000tons of cement.

247ureports.com reached out to the presidency for comments regarding the stoppage of Ibeto’s cement on the high-seas. Both Femi Adesina and Shehu Garba were reached but only Femi Adesina responded. He indicated that he was not aware of such but directed that we check with the Ministry of Industry. The office of Ibeto Cement Company was reached out to but they were cautious with their comment. They chose to comment unofficially and confidentially. They made it clear that the CEO of Ibeto Cement Company was not ready or willing to confront the Federal Government over the legality of Buhari’s refusal to allow his consignment to dock in Nigeria. “He prefers to beg” said one of the workers at the company “rather than to confront the injustice” meted out on him.

“There is no law in the Nigerian law books that Ibeto company have breached”, said a longtime politician from the south south region who claims to understand the underpinnings of the move to frustrate the business mogul from south east Nigeria who had been a financial supporter of the Jonathan administration. “They want to insinuate that he is one of the recipients of the money laundry scheme so that they can hang him like the others. But it would not work. We are here.” The south south politician was un-mistaken as he pointed squarely at the Buhari ‘cabal’ as an anti-south east and bigot minded group.

Presently, the status of the shipment of bulk cement stuck at high-seas remain unknown as the federal government allegedly appears determined and unrelenting in its determination at halting or/and deterring the business activities of Ibeto Cement Company.

PoliticsRe: Reasons Why The Yoruba’s And Hausa's Are Very Happy Being Nigerians by Trut(m): 2:10am On Dec 06, 2015
Sweetguy25:
Why Yoruba's Love Nigeria

As it stands currently, the Yoruba’s are biggest beneficiaries of Nigeria. Why, you may ask? Well this is because they own (or claim to own) Lagos.

How are Yoruba’s benefiting from Nigeria by owning Lagos? This is because 90 percent of all foreign investment that comes to Nigeria goes to Lagos. Lagos is the commercial heartbeat of Nigeria. Everything important about Nigeria’s commercial sector and economy is in Lagos – From the vibrant ports, to foreign missions and embassies, to industries, multinationals, financial sector etc.

Almost all trans-border projects connecting Nigeria to other countries are connected to or only through Lagos.
For example – The West African Gas pipeline, the West African Power Pool, The Lagos to Abidjan Corridor, the West African Cable system and a host of others.

All the 5 submarine cables connected to Nigeria are connected to Lagos. In fact, even a cable linking Cameroun to Nigeria was connected only to Lagos. They skipped, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Delta and connected it to Lagos. (This may be due to viability reasons)

So, the south west is aware of the development that is coming to them through Lagos and they wouldn’t want to mess it up. Their ownership of Lagos has already made them dominate the organized private sector followed by Igbos. Ogun state is also becoming the most industrialized state in the country. That is why they chose to be patriotic Nigerians. Most patriotic Nigerians are Yorubas.


Why Hausa/Fulani Love Nigeria
The reason why the Hausa/Fulani and their kith and kin in the north are happy in Nigeria is obvious. After the yoruba’s/south west, the north comes next as the zone/ethnic people who benefit from Nigeria at the expense of others. They have more states, more local governments, more politicians and more civil servants but less human capital. This means Northerners get to receive more of the revenues generated by the federal government (from the Niger delta).
Due to the low human development in the northern region, they get favorable educational programs and policies funded by the federal government which is not available to other regions. The northern zone also has better road infrastructures than the southern zone. The seat of government is also located in the North, to facilitate the development of the Northern Region.


Ijaws and other ND minorities
The reasons why Ijaws and other minorities in the South South are “content being Nigerians”
Ignorance and helplessness. That’s all. The minority tribes in Nigeria’s Niger Delta generate a bulk of the country’s revenue but they’re some of the poorest people you can ever find in Africa. Most Nigerians from the west and north barely even know they exist.

PoliticsRe: If Biafra Becomes A Reality What's Next..?! by Trut(m): 8:28pm On Dec 05, 2015
MrDojo:
Good day all........

We all know one of the major debates in Nigeria now is the issue of biafra. Which some of our brothers and sisters from the eastern/southern part of the country are clamouring for, from the multiple protests and newspaper N social media activities we can all see that its not an issue that should be joked upon.

As a neutralist on his issue I'll like pro-biafra supporters to enlighthen me on what next for your new state if it is actualised?

Will it not be the same courrpt politicians we have in Nigeria ( eastern and southern parts) now that will still be contesting for Power in biafra.....?? If the state of biafra is realised is there any actually plan on ground to ensure it does not become NIGERIA version 2.0.
Will tribal bigotry be eradicated ( Since allegedly most igbo people from different part of the East to get Along with each other well as well as with their southern neighbours)..?! Will the issue of Marginalisation die with the birth of biafra ( Can the East N South live together as one)?!.And many other Questions..........

Though am a nuetralist.......
I very much trust in My country Nigeria...
I was born a Nigerian.....I will live to see Nigeria Great and I will Die a proud and fulfilled Nigerian.....


# sorry for poor construction of sentences and other errors thank...
You're not a Biafran, so it's none of your business with Biafra affairs.

WE CALL IGBOS CHEATS,DRUG PUSHERS,POVERTY STRICKEN PEOPLE ETC, IT'S STILL AN IRONY THAT OUR EVER THIEVING POLITICIANS LOOT AND STEAL WITH IMPUNITY AND NO ONE CALLS THEM THIEVES AND THE IGBOS HAVE DECIDED TO GO THEIR WAY WITH THEIR BAD ATITUDE YET WE DON'T WANT THEM TO LEAVE.
THIS SHOWS THAT SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG WITH OUR WAYS OF REASONING,OUR IDEOLOGY AND OUR CONSCIENCE!

THIS GOES A LONG WAY TO PROVE HOW TRIBALISTIC NIGERIANS ARE.OUR ENTIRE LIVES,SUCCESSES,STRUGGLES AND INTENTIONS IS NEVER FOR THE GOOD OF NIGERIA BUT FOR OUR SELFISH INTERESTS.
WE'LL KEEP ON FAILING BECAUSE WE KEEP ON DECEIVING OURSELVES AND UNBORN GENERATION.
