I don’t want to hear from Chinese Governments. Nigerian government is at fault, and I commend Chinese for seizing the jet. The only mistake they made is not seizing the buyers too.
Governor Ibikunle Amosun's tenure had always been a bad news to Ogun State . He was the same governor that frustrated Dangote to relocate the huge and strategic refinery/ Fertilizer plant away from the state. Now he cancelled a project deal with a Chinese group entered into by his predecessor,Gbenga Daniel, without caring about the legal implications. What a misfit governor!
Amosu appeared to have acted with impunity .The Chinese are lucky the contract is subject to international arbitration. Otherwise, they would have been stuck in Nigerian court for decades.
The Chinese are not LUCKY as you put it. Almost EVERY foreign country doing business puts in their contract foreign mediation because they don’t trust our legal system. So it is not luck as you put it. Nigeria is playing checkers while the world plays chess. Even the person that got into the contract won’t be questioned, the one who got us out of the contract and into this mess won’t be questioned either.
Nigerian government thought those courts were Nigerian court where they can drag feet/buy time and at the end, buy JUDGEMENT from a roadside but this one CHOKE NIGERIA. SHAME ON NIGERIA government 😱😱😱😡😡😡🥺😳🥺😳!!!!!!
I salute you the management of Arise Television station for doing a wonderful job for this country ur station deserve global commendation and integrity award for investigating journalism let's wait and see how the matter will be settled 😅😅😅😅
Bro we will keep trying ooo. Amen yet to give birth but I trust and hope my children won't meet this mess. Good governance foundation would have been laid
A good reason why we all need to be involved in the politics of every state in Nigeria. If one state’s negligence can have such adverse effect on our common wealth, then we all must be involved.
I commend the management of Arise Television for doing an outstanding job for this country. Your station deserves global recognition and an integrity award for investigative journalism. Let's see how the situation unfolds.
In a country where politicians are so obsessed with need to looting, fleecing the treasury and seeking personal interest than adding value to the state, politicians are blinded to following due process in their dealings... APC is a disaster to Nigeria actually... My concern is how many of such cases is still unknown and how many of the national assets would they still come for?😢 Shame on APC and their apologetics.
@@Gracia-ccI dey te you Bro 😂😅😂😅😂😅. A country with no honour or DIGNITY in the 1st place so the IDIOTIC STUPID politicians in government don't care at all.....
The mistake of 80s is repeated because the government of 80s still the current ones and doesn't know the world is now more wise with younger spirit than the 80s, which is leading the country
But they can't move to rescue Nigerians who are suffering in different prison's in the world, some being a Nigerian has landed most to jail in foreign land.
When they are not stupid why would they blame it a Simon epa the famous hero doing great job and preserving life in the east. They should allow Simon epa continue is good work for centuries. Make government no try am.
Humble pie? That pie cannot be eaten. Apc given Nigeria pie in the sky 😂Tinubu must GO. Power to the people of Africa against corruption and renew hopelessness.
This particular case exposes again the blatant impunity with regards to financial improprietaries and official rascalities that typifies governance at all levels in the country induced by grafts, greeds and monumental fantastic systematic corruption and mismanagement are endless. More are still loading from uncountable Pandora Boxes from government stables as this won't surely be the last. 😢😢
It would be interesting to inquire from the former Governor Ibikunle Amosun why he had to cancel the contract entered to by his predecessor and put Nigeria in this mess.
Just one company is China, not the china president oo sue nigerian fedaral government over negligence of a state Nigeria . What an embarrassment can we take again😭😭😭🤦🏻♂️ 🙆🏻♂️🙆🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🙆🏻♂️🙆🏻♂️
This is where the Senate & House of reps who call themselves the so called "People representatives" needs to come in to bring out a law that will stop these kinds of embarrassment in the future. Instead you see them dabbling in misplaced priority whereby they sponsor a bill or create or dictatorial laws that will stifle the innocent masses as if we are the enemies of our country while in the real sense, it is them that are the enemies of our dear country.
When the Indians took Nigeria to court regarding Ajaokuta steel, Nigeria paid dearly for it. Is there any international case which has favoured Nigeria?
As we wallow in this national embarassment, many more state governments are still signing new contracts with foreign organisations! Contracts that may later be breached either by the incumbent or subsequent administrations! The issue is oftentimes that of impunity and integrity on the Nigerian side! This ethical issue is a longstanding one. For example, a Nigerian delegation once paid a visit to the Irish Embassy in Abuja many years ago with the hope of partnering with Aer Lingus (the Irish national carrier) in the country. The Irish diplomat, diplomatically turned down the request immediately, stating that the defunct Nigeria Airways defaulted in a prior agreement and they (the Irish) had no intention of falling victim all over again! Scenarios like this do not help the perception of Nigeria in the business space whenever we cry out for foreign investment or invite investors to come purchase government bonds! Courts overseas will always hold Nigeria and its "big men" accountable if the local courts are too "paddy, paddy" with their political benefactors! Sadly, this embarassing scenario will continue to play out until our word becomes our bond especially in business!
The most annoying part is the Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga outburst on X backing Ogun State government on this shenanigan. It's a shame that the Federal Government will be backing this kind of breach of contract.
This means there's no sovereign immunity for a so-called country. Nigeria has fallen apart. How are the mighty fallen in the mist of the battle? Nigeria, once referred to as the giant of Africa. Now, a shadow of its glorious past.
Do you know how many local contractors go through similar shit? Nigerian government must learn a lesson. If I’m the Chinese they must pay every penny including for emotional distress 😅
Rufai Oseni he is talking truth in Nigeria all are government in Nigeria there bad government all spot get benefit in Nigeria, Nigeria Oil belong to all citizens in Nigerian not only government Oloriburuku ni gbogbo awon Oleselu ole ni gbogbo won lati tori president to dawn there all robbery and theft from top to bottom
MNK said that he will destroy Nigeria 🇳🇬 with truth, Nigeria 🇳🇬 will go down and new nations will emerge, BIAFRA is unstoppable and must be free from the evil forest called Nigeria 🇳🇬
How was the Chinese company able to get possession of all 3 jets including the new Air bus 330 which alone is more than 150 million dollars over a debt of only $70m ?
"The attorn😢ey general is just a mortician, the patient died on the surgeon's table." If you want to change anything, change the surgeons . The medicine of debt is paying it.
Just look at how Yorubas are putting the whole country in International shame and embarrassment i the name of is my turn. Shame Shame Shame on them all..
Nigerians should read contract terms well before signing to stop these embarrassments. When a new government takes over they should not just move on to new deals without thoroughly reviewing what was on ground before they came in. The newly appointed must review what has been handed over to them. Since Chinese is a language that is foreign to us our leaders should sign Chinese contracts translated in English.
In a country where politicians are so obsessed with need to looting, fleecing the treasury and seeking personal interest than adding value to the state are blinded to following due process in their dealings... APC is a disaster to Nigeria actually... My concern is how many of such cases is still unknown and how many of the national assets would they still come for?😢
The governor think is Nigeria where they flaunt the law. Look at Yaya bello disobeying the EFCC Akpabio is there Ganduje and emilokan and the rest The country has no shame They are mask their faces Shame shame shame
My concerns here's this presidential flights were grounded under seizure, if not no one will ever discover the situation surrounding the contract. Then my worries is are we sure the country we are fighting for is still ours? These armed robbers called politicians must have sold the without thinking otherwise.
Tinubu and Apc should be made to pay back whatever is owed to them people not the people. The jets belongs to the people. Power to the people against fraud and corruption in Africa. BLACK AFRICAN UNITY
Una go just dey this Arise news dey talk pla pla pla peter Obi this and that if na Nigeria una go talk but can Nigeria government do the same to any Europe or Asia countries without u mumu people gather here to say Nigeria we don't want to pick fight ooooo see una head Arise Igbos TV ..
Thank you for this honest opinion. Look at the way Rufai tunes down his voice simply because it was Ogun where he hailed from and he knows that this govt was not liable for this mess. He tried to talk about buying a new jet just to shy away and condemn the Ogun state that brought this upon Nigeria. Indeed, Arise Igbo TV and an anti APC govt.
If your Nigeria can't do it to other countries when they should because of their illegality how is it arise problem? You will always drift from issues to tribalism Grow up. If your state did the right thing how come the court awared a fine in favour of the Chinese firm and if it wasn't suitable why won't your state appeal instead of her rascality of thinking they can decide what to obey or not to obey. You keep embarrassing the nation and rather than address issues in discussion running to your usual stronghold of propaganda and tribal sentiments.
What is this man talking? We are saying the nation has been shamefully embarrassed by our own style of government and he is talking Asia and Europe. These foreign countries will never do what Ogun State Government did to a firm who has a genuine contact with them because they respect the Law Did I hear somebody is trying to being in investors to Nigeria ???? You better stop a stupid joke.
