Culture / BBC Apologizes To Emir Sanusi Over False Publication Of Financial Recklessness by villagecraft: 6:17am On May 10, 2017
The British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC, has apologised to the Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, over reports it published claiming the Emir was connected with a financial recklessness that took place with the Kano Emirate fund.

Recall that on April 24, the corporation had published a report claiming that the Emir was under probe by the Emirate’s anti-graft commission for alleged mismanagement of Kano Emirate fund.

The Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission had opened an investigation into allegations of ‘questionable expenditures’ running into billions of naira by the council over a short period of time.

However, in the apology letter dated April 28, 2017 and sent to Emir Sanusi, Mr. Jamie Angus, editorial director at BBC, said that an April 24 story quoting the Chairman, of Kano State Public Complaints and Anti-Corruption Commission, Muhyi Magaji, as saying that he (Sanusi) was amongst those being investigated in connection with alleged misappropriation of about N6 billion Emirate Council fund was “not correct.”

“The recording of the interview was passed to another colleague in Abuja office, summarised in a despatch and then sent to London where the online report was written and published.”

“It is now clear from our investigations that the reports did not accurately reflect what we were told by Mr. Magaji, who had, in fact, made clear to our reporter that you had not been invited in for questioning and indeed that it was unlikely that there would be a need to invite you for question.

“Accordingly, the report we published suggested that you were under personal investigation was not correct and for that I offer my sincere apologies,” Mr. Angus said.

Politics / Breaking: Ikpeazu's Media Aide Blows Whistle.... by villagecraft: 4:35pm On May 09, 2017
#EXPLOSIVE

IKPEAZU'S MEDIA AIDE BLOWS WHISTLE, EXPOSES ANOTHER GOVERNOR'S AIDE CORRUPT ACTIVITIES
---------------------------------------------
Media aide to Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu Tony Onyenweaku , has exposed the corrupt activities of his colleague Emeka Okwun.

Mr. Tony alleged that Emeka Okwun contrary to the governor decision, collects money from traders at Isi Gate using one Ikenna as his tax collector.

Based on what Abia Facts Newspaper gathered from the write up of Tony Onyenweaku, Emeka Okwun and his thugs collects Thousands of Naira each day, pocket the money and have resisted any attempt to stop their activities. This action have sabotaged the intention of the government in trying to keep Isi Gate traffic free.

Please read direct from Tony Onyenweaku :

THE DILEMMA OF ISI GATE AND THE SABOTEURS

In every city, there is always that central point that welcomes people to the city, such points are almost always taken care of by the government as it announces their presence, negatively or positively. More attention is given to such centres when they are located at the state capital of any state. The Isi gate Umuahia is one of such central flash points. The issue of isi gate Umuahia is one that has provoked many questions like, does successive government's in Abia and even the present government think it deserves any aesthetic attention, why can't the government successfully clear it of any form of trading? Starting from the former government of Chief T.A Orji Ochendo, the menace in and of Isi gate Umuahia necessitated the relocation of the Umuahia central market to Ubani because it was centrally located at the centre of the city, since after that relocation, the government has been fighting to ensure that the place is free of any form of trade, but all to no avail. The ochendo government could not complete that process before the end of that administration. The Dr Okezie Victor Ikpeazu's government has also left no one in doubt that he desires to put that Isi gate to its best use. With the constant positioning of security officers at several points of isi gate, one would have expected that the place should have been completely deserted by now, but lo and behold, the more security personnel we see there, the more traders we see. The big question is why? It's unfortunate that the security is compromised.
This question led me to Isi gate to find out the true situation of things, I was surprised to find out that the very office that had the responsibility of clearing isi gate, is the one sabotaging government's efforts in clearing it. The office of the security adviser to the governor which is headed by Capt Awa has the mandate to clear Isi gate but the information I gathered was that while capt Awa is seriously trying to live up to his boss expectations of clearing isi gate, his Personal assistant (P.A) Mr Emeka Okwum is bent on sabotaging every of his efforts and that of the state. Mr Emeka has his team led by a tout named Ikenna who go about collecting money from these traders on daily basis, I was reliably informed that they collect thousands of Naira everyday. The payment ranges from N300 and up to N1000 and its on daily basis. I also gathered that when one Mr Emeka from Umuahia north LGA tried to intervene in there business, Ikenna and his team beat up this Emeka that he is presently lying critically injured at federal medical centre Umuahia without anyone attending to him. The people said that Emeka Okwum has made it difficult if not impossible for capt AWA to arrest Ikenna, this is because Emeka has turned to an informant for his colleagues.
I wish to use this opportunity to call on Capt AWA not to allow his workers drag his highly revered name in the murky waters and thereby bringing shame and disrepute to this government. The issue of isi gate should be tackled with every sense of sincerity as that place is meant to be the central welcoming points to all visitors of our dear state capital.

Politics / Ifeanyi Ubah's Arrest: The Actual Figures. by villagecraft: 9:22am On May 09, 2017
*IFEANYI UBAH'S ARREST: NNPC owes us N16bn, his firm says*

Capital Oil and Gas Limited, owned by businessman, Ifeanyi Ubah has alleged that the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) owes it N16 billion.

The company stated this in reaction to the arrest and detention of its chairman, Ubah by the Department of State Security (DSS) for what the agency said was based on his involvement in alleged stealing, diversion and illegal sale of petroleum products stored in his tank farm.

But in a statement released on Monday, the management of the company denied the accusation, adding, that it is an attempt to criminalise a commercial dispute between the company and the NNPC.

While it was widely reported that Capital Oil and Gas was unable to return 82 million litres of petrol, valued at N11 billion, out of over 100 million litres which the NNPC kept with it, the company said rather, it was the NNPC that owes it N16 billion.

According to the company, it is owed “$5,540,000 (N2.2billion) – unpaid berthing fees for NNPC vessels that called at our Jetty, $2,952,555 (N1billion) – invoice for chartered vessels to carryout STS operations Lagos offshore to ferry product (PMS) to storage at the request of NNPC since 2015, N1.170billion – amount owed to Capital Oil & Gas Industries Limited for throughput services from March to October 2016, N3.146billion – payment made to NNPC for 26,820million litres of PMS vide Pro-forma Invoice No. 53598 which is yet to be delivered to us”.

It listed other debts to include, N2.0billion – Payment to NNPC in April to facilitate the release of the Managing Director and engender reconciliation which NNPC reneged on. N6.266billion – N0.80k and N0.40 Jetty Throughput charge on over 7 billion liters dispensed for NNPC by us”.

In the statement, the company also narrated the events that led to the arrest of Ubah, a one-time governorship candidate in Anambra state. “The incarceration of our Chairman by DSS is unlawful, a disregard for the rule of law and a breach of Dr. Ubah’s fundamental right to liberty, freedom of movement and association.

“A similar invitation was extended to Dr. Ubah on the 24th of March 2017, which he honoured as a law-abiding citizen only to be detained in DSS offices in Abuja for almost a month.

“During that period a Fundamental Rights Enforcement Application was brought on behalf of Dr. Ubah at the Federal High Court Lagos as Suit No. FHC/L/C/487/2017.
“Although an order was made for his production in court in that action, rather than obey the order, officers DSS, using a combination of coercion and cajoling, constrained him to discontinue that action upon an understanding that he would be immediately released. He was not released until over two weeks after he had complied and completely discontinued that action.

“Upon his release on the 13th of April 2017, it was now discovered that during his incarceration he had been coerced into executing various documents committing the company to make certain payments and pledge some assets to NNPC Retail Limited. He was also made to execute a document in favour of the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON).

“As soon as his doctors permitted access to him an action was brought at the Lagos Division of the Federal High Court seeking, inter alia, an order to restrain DSS and others from further inviting, arresting or threatening to arrest or detain him in regard to the NNPC/NNPC Retail Ltd matters.

“The processes originating the new action filed as Suit No. FHC/L/CS/644/2017, were served on the DSS on the 28th of April 2017.

“Dr. Ubah’s lawyers wrote to the DSS pointing out that any preemption of the judicial intervention during the pendency of the new action is totally irregular, a disregard of the rule of law, the constitutional guarantees of separation of powers and breach of the doctrine of Lis Pendens.

“Rather than respect its constitutional and statutory limits the DSS has brazenly abducted Dr. Ubah and commenced a media blitz to justify their illegality”, the company stated.

Meanwhile, the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has advised on dialogue to settle the lingering crisis brewing between the government, the DSS and the Management of Capital Oil over the alleged illegal sale of petroleum products stored in their tank farm by the NNPC.

The union stressed its displeasure over the illegal diversion and sale of the petroleum products by Capital Oil, but that it was of the opinion that the Federal Government cannot sit down and watch workers lose their jobs, as in the case of Capital Oil, where over 2,000 workers are presently idle.

It added that the global practice is for government to secure and create jobs.

NUPENG made this known in a statement signed by the President, Comrade Igwe Achese. The Union also stated that workers have the right to protest the non-payment of their salaries and allowances and that the Federal Government should secure the jobs of those working in the sector.

NUPENG also mentioned the case of Seawolf Oil Services that was taken over by the Assets Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) where the workers have still not been paid their backlog of salaries and entitlements for over five years now.

NUPENG believed that the job creation mantra of the government should be allowed to play, rather than paving way for job losses as it is the case of Capital Oil closure now.

It called on the government to allow the workers to resume work at the depot and load products so that their salaries can be paid instead of throwing them into unemployment market for no fault of theirs.

Politics / Peter Obi Responds To Multiple Watch Pictures, Says They Are All The Same by villagecraft: 5:28pm On May 02, 2017
Ordinarily, people of his status should be talking about how many carat gold are contained in their many watches. Some have bags full of them and other items that are seen by our people as status symbol.

However, speaking on Platform on what ended up as the most important speech of the year, Obi revealed that he owns only one watch and two pair of shoes. He made this comment in passing, just to emphasize the fact that worldly acquisition is not to his taste because they are not ennobling.

It is not surprising that e-rats of Awka, whom we understood, convinced that the speech would be epochal, held a meeting before the event and wryly agreed to look for any possible loopholes to attack it. When they found none, they resorted to the wrist watch foolishness.

I have posted the pictures they deliberately made to look blurred and, fixed in their usual folly, are insisting it was three different watches.

The pictures (attached) were deliberately blurred that no one could even dictate any difference or similarity or sameness by looking at them. What are they trying to prove? One of the pictures even looked like the sports watch Obi used to wear for counting his steps in a day. He no longer uses it since his new phone has that feature.

If only the message these people could make out from the epochal speech is wrist watches/shoes, them one is justified to pity them.

What do you have to say about this foolery? These people should better grow up.

Chief Tai Emeka Obasi

"When Mr. Peter Obi finished, the Minister of Finance came to the podium and begged that Mr. Obi be brought back inside the platform. When Okwute came back...the woman started addressing him and explaining all the things they've been doing so far to really reduce cost of governance. She explained their concerted efforts to save as advocated by Mr. Obi. Boy.


Peter Obi’s Key Statements On Platform

We are borrowing to do flyovers when many roads are bad, We even borrow to do decorations on it.
Minister please stop approving all this state governors borrowing, talk to them on cost of governance.
Section 162 of our constitution did not help us to save because it says share all but even motorpark touts union saves..
No nation can survive without savings.
The Investment sovereignty act says we should save our excess but you and I know there can’t be excess after sharing.
They are about to share $1.65bn out of the $6b excess crude deduction, what for?
NNPC and her sister are remitting $21.8bn and have scheduled time for payback.
I appeal you should not share any money because they are the once we are now finding in houses.
Minister, If we save $2.5bn from 2018 to 2030 at 7% reserve income, it will give us $55bn, This will enhance stable exchange rate.
Let’s start the saving with the money about to be shared.
We need to invest aggressively in education because out of the 57million uneducated children in the world, 10.7% of them are Nigerians.
Even Facebook’s budget for the year is bigger than our nation’s GDP.
Send finances made for education to the school heads and parents directly not commissions or ministries else the money will go through a transit of many checkpoints.
While I was the governor. I bought computers based on one computer per 10 students costing N2.4bn, the money is there, the FG can do it.
Government do not create jobs, they facilitate them by promoting SMEs and encouraging local productions.
This government killed over 80% of failed private enterprises in Nigeria.
Imagine a Governor who bought 50 jeeps for traditional rulers for up to four years now from a private firm and has not paid making the company sack 200 workers and acquired over N732milliion debt after he has collected all the traditional titles and still counting
I gave innoson order to supply us 1000 vehicles and I paid him cash, even admidst fear and quality misconceptions, non of those cars had any issues with the people’s fear.
So, if I must say OK to the government in promoting the made in Nigeria stuffs, let’s first of all go to all government officials and governors houses and make sure 60% of the fittings and everything there is made in Nigeria.
If any contractor says I owe him while I left office, let him make it public, I will resign from politics.
If you see any house belonging to Peter Obi apart from the one in Onitsha which is official, confiscate it.
There is nothing in the constitution called security votes, what we have is contingency funds and its being abused.
I gave 257 Anambra secondary schools N10million annually, 1bn to hospitals and health colleges.
I had only N2.5bn as security votes and I should be invited to account for it.
They searched my apartment and saw only my wife’s belongings, not even my watch and they said I don’t live there.
I have only two black shoes I bought for $49.99 which I travel with everywhere to avoid being hurt which is the reason for having shoes and a wrist watch I bought 18 years ago, why buy another and drop it n the table, what time is it keeping.
My sadness is not just that I live in that block, my worry is that that money was dumped and wasn’t yielding profits, if the owner has kept it in the Bank, it would by now yield around $7bn which is N2.8bn that can carter for a state’s annual educational budget.
