Few years back the trend was to rent. a shop., stock it ,source for customers and make money.
The Seminar Era : The general downward trend of the economy globally made people switched to online business. To catch them young, seminars was used to lure able ones to the net. With its advantages over
The offline, men trooped there and were MILKED. For thousands next to nothing was achieved.
The Era of free seminars. Deacon Austin Azubuike is the father of free online seminars. On 20th march 2010 he launched it at Ikeja White house. Since then others have copied. Him.
The truth. Most organisers lost the purpose of organising the seminars simply because of greed and time too
Short for what they preached. At the end of the day mere 5% of participants gained.
Wednesday 8th July 2010,witnessed another militant attack. This time not on the creek nor on any of the Delta region. It was on the highway. Between Abaji and Gwagwalanda just about 60km.to Abuja from Lokoja area, the road was completely bloced by the 2nd batch of the Niger Delta ex-militants. Numbering over One thousand the weird looking militants brought total confusion on the peoples of the area. From dawn till 2p.m. they enjoyed absolute control of the highway. Military personnel were deployed and with tact were able to dislodged the ex-militant. There was no life lost. PRELUDE:Between 1967 abd 1970,the region suffered Civil war that took all the Federal might to curb. The war made the rather docile population to be militarily at alert. Overnight Arms and Amunitions littered the region and they later became a force to be recorn with. Under President Olusegen Obasanjo, many petrolium pipelines were vandalised and next to nothing was achieved. This might have prompted former President Musa Yaadua to give general amnesty to all Militants. THE PRESIDENTIAL AMNESTY COMMITTTEE. It was set up to reconcile the militants and find a lasting solution to the regional problem. As a result 20192 repentant NigerDelta militants were enlisted. They laid down the arms and surrendered before the 4th October deadline. They were sent in batches to Obubra Camp in Cross River State. Those who surendered late formed the 2nd batch and were not included in the immediate rehabilitation and empowerment. The death of President Umar Yaadua might have contributed to the delay. Thinking that they might have been forgotten they took the law into their hands. The minister of state Niger Delta,affairs Samuel Ode stated that the prevailing political change-over couple with the official beurocracy accounted for the delay. The ex-militants are however demanding for the remover of thespecial Adviser to(Amnesty)the president Mr Timi Alabe immediate removal.
Nigeria has cancelled an oil exploration deal signed in 2006 with a South Korean consortium, says the Korea National Oil Corporation (KNOC).
Nigeria alleged that the consortium failed to make agreed payments, KNOC said.
The two offshore blocks were estimated to hold some two billion barrels of crude oil in total.
The move is a blow to Seoul’s efforts to raise its reserves, as South Korea imports all of its oil.
Lawsuit
“The South Korean consortium is studying various measures against the Nigerian government’s unilateral cancellation of the exploration rights,” KNOC said.
“Through close consultations with the [Seoul] government, we are working on various countermeasures which may include a lawsuit.”
The consortium is led by KNOC. Other members include Daewoo Shipbuilding and Korea Electric Power.
It paid $9m in cash and offered a letter of credit to pay another $231m, in order to cover their 60% interest in oil blocks OPL321 and OPL323, which are based in deep water in the Gulf of Guinea.
The deal was signed with Africa’s top oil producer in March 2006 when South Korea’s then president Roh Moo-hyun visited Nigeria.
In return for the exploration rights, South Korea had planned to build a 1,200-km (745-mile) gas pipeline from the southern delta to the capital Abuja and provide 2,250 megawatts of power generation.
