Secretary Patel raises some valid points, which should be addressed, but I can't believe this article was written with good intentions, and I would not be entirely surprised if she has some pecuniary interest in this company. This article reads as a thinly veiled attempt to threaten FG.

1. She talks about investing and FDI in Nigeria as if it's a charity operation. How much more money do they stand to make from Nigeria? Africa might be seen as the more risky part of an overall balanced portfolio, but it is their most profitable (risk vs reward).

2. She mentions ONE company's experience, without expounding on how the company got the deal (was it openly bidded for, or did money exchange hands; did the company overpromise, overcharge, as is their wont), and uses that as a basis to make investors wary. Could we also be educated on the many many success stories of UK companies in Nigeria? Purely from a statistical perspective, most ventures are doomed to fail (for a multitude of reasons), so I don't think one failure is enough to damn an entire process.

3. Nigeria currently imports petrol, but not for long. Any investor would know about the oncoming refinery in Lekki, and can imagine what that will do for purchasing power and GDP once dollars are no longer diverted for imports of fuel.

4. I'm not a big fan of PMB nor of his anti-corruption drive (and it's obvious selectiveness), but even I have to admit that the rampant bold-faced stealing has reduced (it may now be covert, but at least, people are taking notice, especially in the opposition parties :-).

5. Buhari has made the Naira stable for over 1 year in both parallel and official markets... something I don't remember ever happening in any other administration, which is actually an indication of a sensible policy that should encourage investors. I don't like many things about this administration, but we cannot deny this fact.

6. She talked about corruption in Nigeria's public sector... she should also give recommendations for reducing corruption in the UK private sector, that is all too happy to take ill-gotten monies and invest it in their economy.

seunmsg:
This Patel or whatever she's called must be mad. Why should Nigeria pay the shady company a whopping compensation of $9billion for a 2010 deal that fell through? If the government that signed the agreement and agreed to pay the compensation refused to pay, why should Buhari be forced to pay such a huge amount as compensation? Arrant nonsense. We have billions of our stolen assets in UK that they have refused to return till date. They should show respect to international laws and convention by returning our stolen assets back to us.

This is recipe for disaster!
When an influential and ambitious ex-Governorship contender (Hamzat) becomes the Deputy Governor to an equally ambitious winner(Sanwo-olu), there is bound to be unhealthy clashes of idea and hidden political interests. Lagosians may suffer for it.

jaxxy:
Actually there was sm conspiracy which added to his loss. Buharis incompetence is worse than Jonathans, Jonathan’s only problem was corrupt people are him

greggng:
He is a typical example of a real igbo man. They can die for their women....I am not talking about those igbos born in Lagos

Afonja007:
That's why anytime I visit naija I no dey fall mugu for all naija tricks ,they will put rice for you then count 4pieces of sliced carrot and 2pieces of green peas and tell say na salad then take 3k from you

NOC1:
Last month i bought a sharpener that does not worth 50 Naira for 300 Naira in Ikoyi. Four seeds of tomatoes goes for 800 Naira.

abbakacici:
so what has south east or south west (apart from Lagos) contributed to federation account

WaffenSS:
With our religious and ethnocentric dispositions, powerful states controlling their resources and state police will become xenophobic towards others. You can bet your horse on this.

Imagine the governors of kaduna, Taraba, Plateau, and Benue having so much power to make laws and enforce these laws.

Imagine Lagos, with its sentiments against Igbos, having the power to make and amend sequestration laws, segregation laws, property ownership laws, and worst of all...indigeneship laws.

Imagine the chaos.

icogb:
Lol. Bye. I gave you attention to prove you re not d type of person you project yourself to be here. I've been following your comments on dis forum.

eyinjuege:
Peter loves his wife. Why have you people refused to see that? Or you think it's just about the help she has rendered him. Have you heard him talk about her, and she him? There is something true and genuine there. They can be themselves with each other.
He has never disrespected her in anyway. She has also done what any reasonable woman who loves a man would do. Support him. You will go over and beyond for the love of your life. Peter is ready to do that, and so is she. If not for anything, they have young lives who look up to them.
Their story is not uncommon. When you truly marry your soul mate, nothing can come between you.
Age shouldn't be a problem when you love someone. The fear for such unions is children, but they have children and she's definitely not barren.
Is she maltreating Peter in anyway? If he's happy, then what is the problem? Or Is he faking his happiness with her?
If he leaves his wife, will they give him theirs to marry?
Or should he leave her, marry someone else and still keep going to her? That's where his heart is. Prince Charles of England comes to mind

icogb:
Yea bye too bc you don't knw what dat was all about. And b4 dat 50% weren't dey having prblm? Peter, after being blamed severally didn't knw whr to lay hold on rushed to 50%. You nd Peter wld get to knw some day in life dat there are things you don't get away wif. I jst pray Jude doesn't fall hand at last bc as far as I'm concerned, they re d ones dat spoilt Peter.

icogb:
[url][/url] Dat was a mistake nd yes! I am wif Paul nd their elder brother. No sensible person wld support Peter if not for anything for insulting their elder brother nd I mean severally. I mean who does dat. Every person dat knws and upholds family values wld NEVER support Peter. Do you knw d agreement b4 nd how much des guy laboured for des boys only for Peter to start feeling what? And abt d 50% stuff, tis all propaganda. YES! You don't know Peter. I just pray Jude doesn't lax his stance nd give him more doses for a psychopath in future.

opribo:
It qualifies i should think.

While Bubu and his evil gang had finalised arrangements for a parallel government and to unleash mayhem on Nigeians GEJ let go. That singular act thwarted all the wicked ploy of the evildoers and blood thirsty vampires.

Now three years down the line no coherent direction or action plan instead the evil plan they had should GEJ not handover have manifested in the form of fulani herdsmen.

FOLYKAZE:
Some years back, a drunkard from Otuoeke in Bayelsa state deceived us with a rhetoric about how he sold fish, had no shoe and back pack which he can take to school. He ended up spending the national treasury on hot wine, graduated from selling fish to selling nation asset NEPA to his friends, side chicks and cronies. He bought enough back pack for himseld and his wife to launder our national wealth.
Today, a so called Atiku, a known "Akotileta" is claiming he is an orphan, without ancestral traces. He is telling us that he sold firewood to survive. He once sold Nigeria assets to himself. He wants to comeback again to sell NNPC to his cronies.
Is there any connection between PDP and OLX? Why is everything about them is selling our collective national asset? Nigerians abeg run

icogb:
You shld have addressed tribalist or written sth in dat line nd not alleging, based on some pple's comments here dat she is hated bc she is Igbo.

icogb:
Dnt mind dat guy.

icogb:
Where did you get dat from? In as much as you re trying not to take sides, I knw you have.

blood anywhere u see the igbos. Taking innocent lives. Blood money tribe. Thunder strike everyone of them.

Sagay212:
bring back SARS. If they stop and ask you questions about what you do and you have nothing to hide, you answer. There are too many fooli.sh irresponsible guys out there who are into money ritual and using yahoo to cover up. Some of them cannot even operate a computer. I swear if I join police, I will ensure I personally arrest all yahoo boys and make sure I collect all their money and make them rot in jail. I will even personally kill some of them. How can you be so heartless to kill somebody and remove body parts like you are killing an animal? What sort of nonsense is this.

The police should begin to stop any body especially young guys driving big cars. Stop them and interrogate them. If they cannot answer questions convincingly, take them to the police station and investigate further. If they happen to be yahoo boys, they should be investigated further to know if they are actually ritualists. If you cannot make money legit, manage what you have. everybody cannot be rich. I don't understand what you gain by killing a fellow human because you want to buy benz, waste money in clubs and sleep with girls.

otokx:
Yahoo Yahoo and sports betting are now occupations in Nigeria, so sad.

NessaBoo:
Awwwww, what a pretty young girl

All those people defending all these Yahoo boys, is it until all Nigerian ladies are extinct before you speak out and collectively codemn their acts.

Remember your sister could be next oo!!!

Adakintroy:
When people will condemn yahoo yahooo or 419( a rose if called by another will still smell sweetly. In the same vain shiit if called by another will stil be shiiit). fools will say let's leave them because country is hard. The love of money is said to be the root of all evil.

Country is hard are people not molding blocks for a living? Some braid hair. They are living right. They may be poor or dirty on the outside, but their inside are cleaner than you filthy yahoo boys.

Instead of talking in relations to your greed and love for the good or soft life. You are saying country is hard. Which country is hard?. Am here managing on thirty thousand a month. sometimes my boss go still owe me on top. Yet am still staying positive. Now see the pile of dirt you leave in your wake. Every other day. One corpsuch found with body parts missing. If not for the fact we are use to abnormalities, is this normal?

If this was a normal country do you know the kind of uprising this would have coursed? One death to another every day almost a normal thing on Facebook now..all thanks to lazy people who don't want to work but what to drive venza.



For you all that have been supporting this madness. That is someone dauther. Your sister turn or your children are coming. So you turn proper red with madness. Foools.

SarkinYarki:
Killed this innocent brilliant girl just because you want to drive 10 year old benz and pop fake champagne infront of oloshos..kai who do black man this kind thing

MChaze25:
A lady has helped me before in a way that touched my soul. She did something my sister couldn't do at a particular point in my university days. I was drawn by sympathy to get closer to her but I had to tell my self the bitter truth that she wasn't my type of idle lady. Am a very realistic person. She even saw it that the love I wanted to show her couldn't just flow even as a payback for her helps. I had to move on. We didn't date or get into any stupid romance. Lets put Peter in my shoes. He would bleep her, impregnate her, marry her and make her a yardstick to insult his sisters or brother.
Peter is the immature kid as far as am concerned

afroxyz:
Oga shove your tribal notions up your ass. Which Lola helped them? Where was she when Jude sold his car to invest with them? Where was she when Jude was producing them? Lola that was a confirmed Aristo chic with the likes of caroline danjuma nee Ekanem Lola was only drawn to them because of the fame they had built with the help of Jude. I even thought you had something reasonable to say. Go and get your facts right boy

Biguyman:
No mind those kids man.

I know these guys reach house, Lola is a terrible person, not because she's yoruba or calabar.
Forgetting all these public display of love she's always doing, it's to deceive the fans and make it seem like she's a good person, we know those kind people well. Tonto Dike is one also!

Ask Anyone very close to P'Square they will tell you the same thing.

Still hoping they come back together tho.

luminouz:
Lol...
Why must u talk dou What's it about tribe that makes Nigerians so riled up I'm from the Yoruba tribe buh I'm so fvcking detribalised it scares even me. If only u know,it's just some darn chance/genetic lottery that made u Igbo,u won't care again....u could have been Hausa or delta or from Pakistan.... So who cares
I'm more than my tribe, always have been,always will be. That's what makes me alien...

Hope you can understand this....

jaxxy:
How can jude take 50% that’s ridiculous I believe they shared it equally amongst them or smtn close.

jaxxy:
Its quite simple Lola tried to instigate Peter against jude to have him cut off control and the finances made by psquare bt paul didn’t kicked against it and supported jude. Peter was saying jude must go or he goes that’s how this drama started. At that time the 3 brothers share the money probably equally. Lola needs to apologize to jude not saying God shud soften their hearts. Lol

Sm people put family values above money especially when it’s been working perfectly and that’s what’s paul did. I think

wingmanII:
Why are you all absolutely sure that Lola 's problem with the rest of the Okoye family is cause she is Yoruba? None of you live in the same house with them. How can you be so sure? What if the Lola is truly evil?
After all, Paul' s wife is equally not Igbo.
