THE WAR AGAINST THE IGBOS BEGINS AS ONITSHA AND ENUGU IS UNDER SIEGE AND BLOCKADE.

By Dozie Ezennia Awka.

This morning I received the sad news as confirmed by Omata chairman main market Onitsha  that E.F.C.C  invaded the popular foreign currency exchange in Onitsha  main market and arrested some traders and impounded their  dollars and pounds and other foreign dominated currencies  running into unconfirmed amount. Early in the day at Enugu international airport the agency has also  arrested some big time importers from Onitsha who are bound to travel out on Ethiopia airline claiming they are laundering money after seeing in their  possessions money ranging from $100.000 to $150.000 and confiscating them. There is no doubt that Onitsha and her business community is again being targeted to slow its prosperity which under Gej boomed due to many incentives from state and federal government. Onitsha as a commercial hub was almost on her knees during Obasanjo era when if not GUO and his fleet of luxery buses its very hard or near impossible for goods to enter Onitsha main market then when almost every item is classified as contraband. Thanks to Okwute who used his friendship with Gej maximally and intervens on traders behalf that pushed federal government to designate Onne port for Onitsha importers. Again today those gains are being reversed rapidly as if somebody is at war with Onitsha traders. We are being reminded of the evil days of before  when if your traveling you have to give custom officers heavy inducement before you are allow to travel with anything higher than $5000 and again seme border customs will receive greater inducement if later your goods arrived Cotonou Port. I never dreamed we will ever travel this road but here it comes with more frightening consequences.

B.O.M.B.S.H.E.L.L NATIONAL ASSEMBLY IS NOT YOUR PARTY SECRETARIAT SEN IKE EKWEREMADU TELLS A.P.C

Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, has told the All Progressives Congress, APC, that the National Assembly is not the party’s secretariat.

Senator Ekweremadu made the comment through his Special Adviser on Media, Uche Anichukwu.

The aide was interviewed during a RayPower Radio morning programme, tagged: “Political Platform”,  Wednesday morning.

Reacting to alleged forgery of the Senate Standing Rule by APC members, Anichukwu reminded the ruling party that the seat his principal was occupying was not meant for any political party or individual but Nigerians.

His words: “Every Senate or House has its Standing Rule/Order, as every Standing Rule/Order normally that has a life span of four years. So, if you go to the Office of the Clerk to the National Assembly now, you are likely to find Standing Rules/Orders of 1999, 2003, 2007, 2011 and the current 2015.”

“Going by Section 50 (1) of the 1999 Constitution, that Office doesn’t belong to anybody or party. It belongs to Nigerians. That is why APC lawmakers became Speakers in Plateau and Benue State Assemblies last June even when the APC was in minority.

“By the way, are some people trying to tell Nigerians that if the PDP had won majority in the National Assembly, which is an independent arm of government, and head both chambers, then the President Buhari Administration would cease to function?

“Just as I said in a statement a few days ago, we will not be intimidated and will do everything democratically possible to protect the independence of the National Assembly”.

Anichukwu insisted that at the time the said Senate Standing Rule/Order 2015 was made, Ekweremadu had ceased being the Deputy Senate President and so could not have influenced or doctored the document.

“From the point of the valedictory session of the 7th Senate on 4th June, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, Distinguished Senator David Mark and the rest of other members of the 7th Senate ceased to be senators until the 9th of June, when the 8th Senate was inaugurated; and as usually done, the new senators received new Standing Rule/Order 2015.
The making of that 2015 edition of the Senate Rule/Order is the business of the bureaucracy of the National Assembly. What the 8th Senate can do, which its predecessors have sometimes done is to amend as suitable and the process of the amendment is spelt out in the that document”.

BOYCOTT G.T BANK NOW OWING TO THEIR FRAUDULENT ACTIVITIES AGAINST NDI-IGBO …PAUL ACHALLA.

Boycott Guaranty Trust Bank Now ,Owing To Their Faudulent Activities Against Ndi Igbo ;Paul Achalla

Bad faith advise to Ndigbo !

Nigerians have consistently advise Ndigbo go to home and invest but the sad reality is the same Nigerians from certain sections of the country will explore all means necessary to frustrate the same Igboman for investing in any part of the East including SS.

Why is it that whenever an Igbo man decides to heed to this ''advise'' , he starts facing unnecessary challenges and imaginary hiccups set by Nigerian Govts ...? Save for Jonathan.
During Obasanjo's regime, traders in Lagos Decided to stop using Lagos wharf and shifted to Calabar. Obasanjo overnight decreased the tariff in Lagos and increased the one of Calabar by almost 50 percent.

Ibeto wanted to go into cement, Obasanjo dealt with him harshly. Ibeto only crime is that sited his factory in the East region and not SW. Any unwritten policy to under develop Eastern region....? Are we still in a Free Market Economy?

I have read much on the case and have also heard underground stories about what caused the legal tussle.

When OBJ was in power, Innoson imported some motorcycle and agricultural machines but they were seized by the Customs despite meeting the requirements. Customs subsequently auctioned the goods worth billions of naira.

Senator Iyabo Obasanjo bought the goods at ridiculously low prices. Innoson sued Customs and the court ordered Customs to pay Innoson over N2 billion. GTB (bankers of the Customs) appealed the judgement, claiming that Customs had no money, even though evidence showed that Customs had over 10 billion in their account with GTB.

The Appeal Court upheld the High Court judgement. GTB went to the Supreme Court.

GTB have tried to explore the media to damage Innoson's reputation.

‪#‎Picketting‬ of GTBank is necessary now !

COURT STOPS C.J.N FROM SWEARING BUHARI IN COME MAY 29 OVER CERTIFICATE SAGA.

A Civil Society Organisation, the Incorporated Trustees of Advocacy for Societal Rights Advancement and Development Initiative, has ‎asked the Federal Court in Abuja to stop the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Justice Mahmud Mohammed, from administering oath on the President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari on May 29.
‎The group, in an originating summons that was filed by its lawyer, Mr. Philip Ekpo, insisted that Buhari is not legally fit to take over as the President of Nigeria.

•Buhari: Decked out
The plaintiff argued that Buhari did not meet the qualification enshrined in the 1999 Constitution and the Electoral Act, and ought not have contested the April 11, 2015, presidential election.
Cited as respondents in the suit were Buhari, the Independent National Electoral Commission and the Chief Justice of Nigeria.
The group specifically applied for an order of interim injunction restraining the 3rdRespondent or any person acting in his capacity, from swearing in the 1stRespondent as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on May 29, 2015, or any other date thereof, pending the determination of the Motion on Notice.
According to the plaintiff, “‎The 1st Respondent gave false information in the Affidavit he presented to the 2nd Respondent and on the strength of which he contested and purportedly won the presidential election which was conducted by the 2nd Respondent on
March 28, 2015.
“The 1st Respondent deposed to an Affidavit dated ‎November 24, 2014 that his West African School Leaving Certificate is in the custody of the Secretary to the Military Board
“The Nigerian Army on ‎January 20, 2015, said that in the personal file of the 1st Respondent with the Nigerian Army, they do not have the original copy of his West African School Leaving Certificate (WASC) nor does the Nigerian Army have the Certified True Copy of his WASC results neither do they have a photocopy of the said result.
“The 1st Respondent has not met the qualifications enshrined in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Electoral Act, Cap E6, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2010 (as amended) to havecontested the position of President of Nigeria at the 2015 general elections.
” That the authority conferred by Section 140 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) on the 3rd Respondent to administer oath of office to any person who will occupy the office of the President of Nigeria cannot be exercised in respect of the 1st Respondent who has not fulfilled the requirements of the same Constitution and the Electoral Act as it relates to his eligibility to occupy the office of President of Nigeria”, it averred before the court.
This therefore prayed the court ‎to declare that the information contained in the Buhari’s FORM C.F.001 stating that his educational qualification is the West African School Leaving Certificate (WASC) and that same is with the Secretary to the Military Board amounts to False Information.
As well as to hold that the information contained in the Buhari’s Affidavit deposed to on 24th November, 2014 stating that his West African School Leaving Certificate (WASC) is with the Secretary to the Military Board amounts to False Information.
More so, it is among other things, seeking ‎”A declaration that the 3rdDefendant is estopped fromswearing in the 1st Defendant as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as the issue of perjury involving the 1st Defendant has not been resolved.
“An order restraining the 3rdDefendant or any person appointed for such purpose from swearing in the 1st Defendant as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on 29th May, 2015 orany future dateswhatsoever forgiving False Information to the 2nd Respondent on oath.
“An order annulling the Certificate of Return given to the 1stDefendant by the 2ndDefendant.”
Meantime, the case is yet to be assigned to any judge for hearing.

END OF STRIKE AS FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND MARKETERS REACH AGREEMENT.

Petroleum products marketers and the Federal Government on Monday set aside their face-off with government, resolving to immediately mobilise to ensure restoration of normal supply of fuel throughout the country.
At the end of a meeting convened by the Senate Committee on Petroleum (Upstream and downstream) to resolve the crisis, Chairman, Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria (MOMAN), Obafemi Olawore, said its members, consisting Oando, Conoil, Forte Oil, MRS, Total and Mobil Oil agreed to commence lifting and distribution of fuel immediately from the stock supplied by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
Capital Oil and Gas Ltd had on Sunday commenced the loading of 13 million litres of petrol from its depot in Apapa for distribution to the various states to reduce the current scarcity.
The Chairman of the company, Ifeayin Ubah, told journalists in Lagos that more than 2,000 trucks would be loaded before May 29 to boost the country’s economic activities.
He said the company’s facilities had the capacity to load 13 million litres of the product within the period.
“This comes to approximately 500 trucks of petroleum products on daily basis. With this, it is our belief that once again our citizens will begin to smile and return to normal family and work life.
“We call on other petroleum marketers to follow suit and save our nation from this impending economic and social crisis,’’ he said.

MINISTER OF FINANCE NGOZI OKONJO IWEALA DISCLOSE WHAT THE STATE GOT FROM EXCESS CRUDE OIL ACCOUNT.

Keeping to her promise to disclose what the states got from the Excess Crude ACCOUNT, the MINISTER OF FINANCE Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala-Iweala Sunday said the 36 states of the federation, received a total of N2.92 trillion from the ACCOUNT between 2011 and 2014.
A statement from the Federal Ministry of FINANCE released Sunday night said the it had become necessary to make the figures public following recent accusations by the Rivers state governor on behalf of state governors.
The statement from the federal ministry of Finance noted that the “figures show that they (states) received N966.6 billion in 2011, N816.3 billion in 2012, N859.4 billion in 2013 and N282.8 in 2014. The low figure for 2014 reflects the steep decline in revenues due to the impact of the crash in global OIL PRICES which began in the middle of the year.
Akwa Ibom got the highest with (N265 billion), Rivers (N230.4 billion), Delta (N216.7 billion), Bayelsa (N176.3 billion), Kano (N106.5 billion) and Lagos (N82.9 billion) respectively got these amounts from the ECA.
Kwara (N52.8 billion), Enugu (N51.6 billion), Gombe (N47.7 billion), Nassarawa (N46.9 billion), Ekiti (N46.8 billion) and Ebonyi (N44.3 billion) received the least amounts in that order.
The statement added that “the summary of the inflows and outflows from the Account shows that the opening balance was $4.56 billion in 2011 and reached a peak the following year at $8.7 billion before declining to $2.3 billion in 2013. The balance as at May 2015 is $2.07 billion.”
The fluctuation in the ECA the statement explained “reflects the sharing of the proceeds usually requested by state governors as well as the practice of Augmentation which involves additional sharing from the ECA when available funds are not adequate to meet revenue projections.”
The ministry noted that Subsidy and SURE-P payments are also made from the Excess Crude Account while the Federal Government’s share from the ECA during the period was N3.29 trillion.

IFEANYI UBA THE MESSIAH SAVES NIGERIA FROM FUEL SCARCITY.

Ifeanyi Ubah’s CAPITAL Oil has pulled out of the ongoing strike by the fuel tankers and marketers, saying it was not going to be part of the ploy to inflict pain on Nigerian masses.

In a press statement issued by the COMPANY and signed by its MANAGING DIRECTOR, Ifeanyi Uba, the company announced that its resolution takes immediate effect.

According to the company, it has the capacity to load over 13 million litres of product before dawn. This comes to approximately 400 trucks of petroleum products. It said with this gesture, ”it is our belief that once again our citizens will begin to smile, return to normal family and work life.”

The company called on other petroleum marketers to follow suit and SAVE the Nation from an impending ECONOMIC and social crisis.

It stressed on the importance of sacrifice, especially as Nigeria moves to have a new government, saying, ”This is a period that requires patriotism and service to fatherland. Let’s join hands to help our fellow citizens and save Nigeria. We also call on striking bodies to call off the strike action. Let us work together for the betterment of our people.”

Below is full statement:

On Saturday, 16th May 2015, we received an SMS ordering the suspension of loading activities in all depots from Monday 18th May 2015. We later realized that this directive was as a result of unpaid funds owed to transporters by OIL MARKETERS who in turn are owed by the Federal Government. This development has resulted in immense hardship to our fellow country men and women. We believe that a better solution can be pursued towards solving this problem in a way that does not adversely affect our dear citizens.

Capital Oil and Gas has watched with so much pain, the suffering and hardship our citizens have been subjected to as a result of scarcity of PETROL, diesel, aviation fuel and house hold kerosene. We are deeply pained to hear that hospitals cannot perform surgeries, laboratories are unable to carry out much needed tests especially for emergency patients leaving such patients at RISK of dying, radio stations are shutting down, communication is being affected as MTN and other telecommunications company have announced an impending shut down while homes, offices and key facilities nationwide are experiencing blackouts. In some parts of the country, petrol is already selling at an all-time high of N1,000 per litre. Our citizens have left their homes and are now sleeping in fuel stations, facing the risk of robbery attacks and other attendant risk.

In a few days’ time, a new government headed by General Muhamadu Buhari will be sworn in. Apart from our citizens being unable to watch the handover on television and unavailability of transportation for attendees of this historic handover, the resulting chaos from this scarcity may shutdown the Nation and sabotage the efforts Nigeria has made to attain greater heights.

We are constrained at this point and have decided that two wrongs cannot make a right. We will not be part of this sabotage against our fatherland. Therefore from this minute, we shall take the risk of opening our facilities and commence swift loading and distribution of products Nationwide.

Our facility has the capacity to load over 13 million litres of product before dawn. This comes to approximately 400 trucks of petroleum products. With this act, it is our belief that once again our citizens will begin to smile, return to normal family and work life. We call on other petroleum marketers to follow suit and save our Nation from this impending ECONOMIC and social crisis. This is a period that requires patriotism and service to fatherland. Let’s join hands to help our fellow citizens and save Nigeria. We also call on striking bodies to call off the strike action. Let us work together for the betterment of our people.

As we brief you this moment, our truck park, port reception facilities and our depot complex have been ordered opened. We are ordering and resuming discharge of products from vessels at our berths. We have ordered our trucks to commence loading of products and move overnight to every state of the Federation.

Most importantly, we wish to use this medium to thank NNPC and PPMC for their steadfastness in ensuring the availability of petroleum products. Current PPMC STOCK level in our storage tanks and buffer stock on vessels awaiting discharge at our jetty is capable of meeting the Nation’s need for 15 days.

Furthermore, we wish to emphasis that we have a total solution to the traffic menace on the oshodi apapa expressway. In the coming weeks, we hope to engage the Federal Government (Federal Ministry of Transport), Lagos State Government and other stakeholders in the affected area, to optimally utilize our truck park facilities which has the capacity to ACCOMMODATEover 1,100 trucks per time and 5,000 on a shift basis.

CAPITALOil and Gas continues to appeal to Nigerians to accept and support deregulation as this will curb corruption, enhance competition, lead to reduction of pump price for petroleum products and ensure constant supply to meet Nigeria’s demand.

BREAKTHROUGH FOR BIAFRANS UNSTOPPABLE TILL BIAFRA IS RESTORED.

A Nigerian, Dickson Ndukwe Agbai has emerged the best student with the highest grade of doctorate degree in Bio-fuels from the Newcastle University, England.
Dickson, a native of Ugwueke Community in Bende Local Government Area of Abia State was adjudged the best for the award of the doctorate degree following his outstanding thesis on: ‘Analysis of Biofuel Potential in Nigeria.’
A joint report of examiners endorsed by Dr. Paul Wilson of University of Nothingham and Dr. P. J. Dawson of Newcastle University testifying to Dickson’s outstanding performance reads: ‘That the candidate be admitted immediately to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.’ This is the very best and the topmost Ph.D viva/thesis examination grade based on the university’s grading system.
The report dated September 9, 2014 went on: ‘This thesis examines the potential of biofuel production in Nigerian using programming methods. Various scenarios are estimated and appropriate policy recommendations follow. It is an interesting and worthy piece of research which tackles a problem that is highly relevant to the Nigerian Government. Indeed, the Nigerian Government sponsored Mr. Dick’s scholarship in open competition. The method of analysis is appropriate and while not novel, the application is. The thesis is well-written and well-presented, and its structure is appropriate. It is of doctoral standard.
‘During the oral examination (of 2 hours 10 minutes), the candidate defended the thesis well. He demonstrated a thorough understanding of his work and he can place his research in the wider context of the literature. He understands and appreciates the advantages and disadvantages of the alternative methods and provided a convincing argument for that chosen. The policy recommendations, which should be helpful to the Nigerian Government in its development of a biofuel policy, follow from the results and the candidate understands their implications.’
The Dean of Postgraduate Studies of the university, Dr. Stuart Edwards was effusive in his commendation of Dickson’s performance. Dr. Edwards states in a letter dated September 12, 2014 thus: I am writing with reference to your recent examination towards the degree of Ph.D. I note that the examiners have given exceptional praise to your work and I would like to take this opportunity personally to congratulate you on your success. I would like to wish you all the best in your future.’
Dickson’s academic feat has also not gone unnoticed back home. A Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), Eco Empowerment & Sensitization Initiative (ECO-ESI), Aba, Abia State commended him for bringing honour to Nigeria.
A statement signed Dr. Bari Brown Malachi Elisha, secretary to ECO-ESI, noted that Dr. Agbai had through his academic feat ‘placed the Nigerian flag at the pinnacle of academic excellence in a highly-competitive global stage.’
The NGO expressed its profound gratitude to the Federal Government and the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) for their financial sponsorship and support to Dr. Dickson Ndukwe Agbai and other Nigerian scholars during their programmes.
‘Their unparalleled financial support/scholarship enabled Dr. Dickson Ndukwe Agbai to fully focus and commit his time to studies during his research programme at Newcastle University, England; thus enabling him to achieve this rare academic excellence at the highest academic (Ph.D) level,’ the NGO stated.
The ECO-ESI however seized the opportunity to appeal that Nigerian scholars who did the country proud through their outstanding academic feat be given a national honour and jobs on their return to the country.
Prior to his Ph.D Degree, Dickson holds a B.Sc. Degree in Agricultural Economics & Extension, with a Second Class (Honours) Upper Division, from Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO); and a Master’s Degree in Environmental and Resource Management (with ‘Merit’ or ‘Very Good’ grade according to German grading system) from Brandenburg Technical University [BTU ] cottbus Germany.

THREE YORUBAS CAUGHT WITH $20M FAKE CURRENCY IN U.A.E SHARJAH.

Many Nigerians reside in the United Arab Emirates but some of the biggest news in the Arab nation right now is that of the busting of a money-doubling gang of three Africans in Sharjah. The raid was carried out by Sharjah Police and their headquarters explained the modus operandi of the suspects.

A senior police officer in Sharjah says the gang used fake currency to convince people that they can double their money and make them wealthy beyond belief. During the raid, Sharjah Police recovered $20 million in fake currency with the arrest of three Africans. According to Colonel Ibrahim Al Ajill, Director of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), many unsuspecting residents fell prey to the well-orchestrated scam and many of them had visited the police to complain about illegal activities carried out in an apartment in the Al Nahda area.

Following the tip off, a team of CID officers authenticated their claims and raided the apartment. The raid was successful and the suspects were arrested red-handed with bales of fake currency notes. Original currencies like dollars, euros and dirhams were also recovered from them. They initially denied the fake currency belonged to them saying it was for someone else but later confessed to their crime and how they swindled people.

Sharjah is the capital of the Emirate of Sharjah and is the third largest and third most populous city in the United Arab Emirates, forming part of the Dubai-Sharjah-Ajman metropolitan area. Image credits: Creative Commons.
Prior to the raid, many businessmen had approached the three suspects and gave them their money for doubling. Sharjah Police say two of the suspects came to the UAE on a visit visa while the third one is on a residency visa that was given to him in the name of commercial shop.

An Abiyamo Fan residing in Sharjah has fully confirmed the raid and that was because the Fan stays in the same apartment as the suspects. The Fan was at home around 11.am last Sunday when the police entered his flat commando-style and by the time the dust cleared, they left with three fellow Nigerians who the Fan confirmed were caught with several fake dollars.

All the suspects are Yoruba from southwestern Nigeria. The first suspect is named Dele Ogunde, the other is Biyi and we are still working on getting the full names of the third. Two are from Oyo State while the third is from Ondo State. They remain in the custody of the Sharjah Police. This story will be updated as more details filter in so stay tuned.
