Mrnairalandd:
Like i said earlier, the end of Innoson business has come
This is not a matter of wishing him bad but reality
Anybody in Banking sector ll understand what i am saying
As Innoson stands, all Banks both local and international have blacklisted that name for life
It ll be a financial battle for him
To worsen his case, he whipped the tribal sentiment and the publicity went viral to the point Igbos started boycotgtb tag online
This is the biggest mistake any person(small business man) talkless of an industrialist can make
All Banks work together when it comes to fraud and underviced loans.
No matter how much he pays tomorrow to GTank, the dent ll continue to hunt his business for life.
As we speak, Innoson credit worth to all local and international banks is Zero.
His kinsmen through their stupidity and victim mentality have killed his business by making all what he did behind closed doors went viral.
All Banks ll be scared to do business with him and that business can survive without loans.
Well let's see who is right in the end. Things usually don't work the way you predict. You should know now that granting someone loan is a business advantage, especially one who has already established a big business. Again you should know that political istration is ephemeral. Innoson has come to stay. His business will outlive so many presidents and bank CEOs

Innoson will end up begging GTB for mercy.
He was an humble businessman when he was seeking loan in 2009.
He cannot become a GTB shareholder through the back door.
Even if he wins the 6bn case of alleged charges in the supreme court,
he will certainly lose the fraud case which may run into tens of billions
at the 22% interest rate and a possible jail time.
I hope his lawyers can do the math.
Whichever way, it is in his best interest to settle out of court because
his media war will lead to nowhere.
You are only being intelligent by half! There is no proof of forgery anywhere!!! except you would begin a kangaroo court process which will still be suppressed!!! If you don't understand politics you better shut up!!! This case is being handled by a team of lawyers on both sides!!

She is igbo but igbo youths say they want biafra. Which way for igbos sef? Are they serious with this biafra stuff at all?
As it is, it is a lose-lose situation for them in the status quo in maintained because they will continue to maintain their current position in Nigeria as nothing higher will be given to them. If nothing urgent is done, their wailings continue.
you are being intelligent by half if you say 'all Igbo youths want Biafra'!

The very same people who complain about oppression in Nigeria are the first to Isreali oppression of Palestine - simply because it fits their religious prejudices. The Israeli which they so much claim to love are not even Christians, but predominantly Jews. The Jews do not even read the Bible, yet they claim God is fulfilling a Biblical prophesy.
---
In the Bible, Jacob FRAUDULENTLY stole the right of his brother Esau, yet the entire Christian faith still justify and celebrate Jacob - simply because it is so written in the Bible.
---
On the Jerusalem issue, 128 countries voted against US decision (including major allies like , , UK, Italy, etc.). Most of these countries have significant Christian majority. Yet people like FFK will see this as an opportunity to advance their anti-Islamic narrative.
---
Are we even aware that there are Christians in Palestine who also feel aggrieved by the Israeli and US actions?
Brother, I am an Igbo, a Christian and a er of FFK.
But to be honest, you made a lot of sense in your writeup and I am beginning to think twice!!!

There was a thread yesterday I think about Nigeria being ranked 6th in Africa financial markets despite its huge market but yet poorly ranked due to lack of transparency. I think this is a typical case scenario.
I don't side with any party here cos I don't know the in-detail of their respective transactions but I think innosson would suffer bringing this rift to the public the most cos his name is now connected to fraud and that will deter any foreign investors. Really wish they had quietly resolved this mess
That's your opinion. Thanks to Heaven, you're not God!

Innoson must pay his debts.
And with the way innoson played a smart one on GTB, no bank in this country should offer him loan again.
A debtor claiming right. Wonders shall never end.
He's being investigated for fraud and forgery, nobody should cry for him.
I know Nigeria very well bro. If Innoson was this guilty as you have typed, they would have closed his business a long time ago!

See the scathing press release. " The business man who runs a local auto assembly plant". This statement belies the reason for the EFCC's failed attempt to humiliate Innoson. Let Buhari and his nonproductive cabal go and start their own auto assembly plant too. Sheer jealousy.
You are very smart. They just hate his success. perhaps they want to tell him he is being watched!

China is set to open its first solar motorway that can generate electricity under sunlight.
The two-kilometre-long (1.2 miles) stretch of highway, situated in Jinan, could charge electric cars as they are travelling on it.
The two-lane road could also warm itself up in sub-zero weather to melt the snow on top so drivers could drive on it more safely.

Since the Innoson and Gtbank brouhaha broke out, I've been curious about the Bank's position especially as they have been silent.
Could this be because they were truly guilty of wrong doing or, is the Bank being blackmailed by Innoson- you know guerilla tactics? I mean why the whole social media campaign on a matter that is strictly a legal issue? Is there something more than meets the eye? Anyway, read the times article below and share your thoughts
https://www.timesng.com/promoted/253089-innoson-efcc-arrest-gtb-loan-facts-behind-saga-james-osaremen.html
If truly Innoson is 'wrong' as this writer has portrayed him to be, why has he won all the court cases? why did it take efcc this long, 2009 till date to embarrass him?? Why was this foolish writer during maina saga, babachir, and the others? I used to be neutral on issues concerning Igbos, now I know otherwise!!! and for the writer's information, there is no tribal card being played here!!! It's equity we are asking for!!!

@POLITICSNGR
Chief Innocent Chukwuma, the chairman of Innoson motors has denied claims by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, that he did not honour an invitation extended to him which is what led to his arrest.
Chukwuma says that no invitation was given to him and has not yet been told the purpose of his arrest. Below is a press statement obtained by PoliticsNGR signed by the Head of Corporate communications, Innoson, Mr Cornel Osigwe;
"Our attention has been drawn on a tweet by EFCC on its official Twitter handle claiming that the Gestapo kind of arrest of Dr Innocent Chukwuma (OFR) today at his Enugu residence was because he didnt honour an invitation from the commission sent to him.
This claim by the commission is not factual and it tends to mislead the public and bring the personality and character of Dr Innocent Chukwuma to disrepute. Hence we want to state the true position so as to inform the general public the truth about this matter.
EFCC never at any time invited Dr Innocent Chukwuma either in writing or through any other means. We are aware that EFCC investigated GTB complaint against Innoson in 2012.
During the investigation, he was invited and he honoured the invitation. After the investigation, EFCC filed a charge against him at Lagos State High Court. The charge was subsequently struck out. However, Dr Innocent Chukwuma and Innoson Nigeria Ltd appealed against the order striking out the case on the basis that it ought to be dismissed and not struck out. The appeal - appeal no. Ca/l/1330cm/2017 Is till date still pending at the Court of Appeal Lagos division? Till date, EFCC never invited Dr Innocent Chukwuma again.
On this recent arrest, Dr Innocent Chukwuma (OFR) has not been told officially the purpose of his arrest and he demands to know why."
https://politicsngr.com/2017/12/20/never-invited-efcc-innoson-demands-know-cause-arrest/
This is the part that gives this whole saga a tribal colouration!
what brought EFFC to this matter?
couldn't this matter be handled by the police?
If Innosson was earlier invited as claimed by the efcc, which paper carried it? (at least Innoson is a big fish!)
why has efcc not arrested Maina?
Is this political??

itsdumebi:
Below are key points to know about this huge dispute as composed by Enyinnaya Appolos;
1 - At all Material times, Innoson Nigeria Ltd operates a Current with GTBank.
2 - Innoson obtained, and had repaid same, a loan of N1.3billion from GTB Which was secured with a legal mortgage of its properties valued at more than N1.4billion.

8 - GTBank was shocked at the audit report when the report was forwarded to it.They replied in their letter to Innoson on 20th January 2012 that it will investigate the issue raised and will get back to Innoson on the Conclusion of its investigation.
9 - In the month of September 2012, GTBank wrote to Innoson that from their personal audit report, the excess bank charges was Five Hundred and Fifty-Nine Million, three Hundred and Seventy-Two naira, Nine kobo ( N 559.3Million).
10 - Innoson agreed to their version and decided to accept payment from it in the spirit of amicable resolution.
*11*- Innoson also requested that the said agreed amount of N559.3million be paid with a 22% interest rate because Innoson had been repaying all his loan with GTBank at 22% interest rate.
12 - GTBank refused and said that the best they can repay excess and illegal deduction is at 7% interest rate . This led to another disagreement between Innoson and GTBank.
13 - As a result, in 2012, Innoson sued GTBank at Federal High Court Awka with Suit No: FHC/Awk/ Cs/2012.
14 - Federal High Court, Awka delivered Judgement in favour of Innoson in excess of N4.7billion against GTBank.

17 - In its various affidavits, particularly at the Court of Appeal in suit no: CA/ E/288/2013, GTBank deposed that if it pays the outstanding Judgement debt of N6billion, much less the N8.5billion, it could go bankrupt and be out of business.
18 - GTBank went to the Supreme Court.The case is still in the Supreme Court, while the Judgement debt is about N8billion now to be paid to Innoson by GTBank.
Other Cases:
IBADAN Case: Innoson /GTBank/Nigerian Customs Service :
19 - Nigerian Customs Service Auctioned Innoson goods.
20 - Innoson challenged the action Nigerian Customs Service for auctioning its goods at Federal High Court, Ibadan.

22 - Rather than Comply with the Garnishee Order Absolute of the Court , GTBank on February 6, 2015 appealed the Judgement , but the Court of Appeal in Appeal no. CA/1/258/2011 affirmed the Judgement of the Federal High Court and ordered GTBank to pay the Judgement debt of #2,048,737,443.67 (#2.048billion) to Innoson .
23 - GTBank , instead , appealed to the Supreme Court against the Court of Appeal's decision where GTBank claimed through a motion in suit no : Sc /694/2014, that the Court of Appeal Judgement in Ibadan (CA/I/258/2011) was procured by suspicious means .
24 - On May 12, 2017 , Supreme Court in its wisdom and rightly , dismissed that unfounded and exasperating claim of GTB against Innoson .

#Another issues
26 - Consequently , in order to save itself from paying the outstanding Judgement debts to Innoson , the GTBbank filed a petition against Innoson alleging forgery which led to the suit No : FHC /L/565C/2015 by Police .
27 - On February 17, 2016 , Police properly and Competently withdraw the charges against Innoson , saying they needed to properly investigate the bank's complaints first and see if they had merits .
28 - On September 1 , 2014 , GTBank secured an ex parte order on Innoson Nigeria Limited, dated September 1, 2014 with suit no FHC/L/CS/1119/2014 , filed before a Federal High Court in Lagos , between GTBank and Innoson Nigeria Limited , issued by *Justice Okon Abang* , ordering that , pending the hearing and the determination of the substantive suit , all Commercial Banks in Nigeria were restrained from accepting in any manner whatsoever to any mandate or instruction presented to them by Innoson Companies or any of its agents or nominees for withdrawal of any sum of money standing to the credit of any maintained by the company in all the banks.
29 - However , on June 10, 2015 , *Justice Saliu Saidu* of the Federal High Court , Lagos , in a Considered ruling set aside the ex parte order of September 1, 2014 , by Justice Okon Abang and the writ of summon as well.
30 - Innoson then slammed a N30 billion suit on Guaranty Trust Bank for what it had suffered in monetary and reputational during the months when the s of its companies in all Nigerian banks were frozen. With Innoson winning both cases at the High Court and both cases at the Appeal Court, and GTB appealing, both cases are awaiting the verdict of the Supreme Court. Meanwhile the fresh N30 billion naira suit has just gone to the High Court to start its legal journey.
https://politicsngr.com/2017/12/20/innoson-vs-gtbank-30-key-points-know-dispute/
I am going straight to close my from GTbank! I said it earlier that banks are super thieves! Owe them and see what they will do to you!. No wonder my Hausa brothers; most of them don't do banking. Imagine threatening to close Innoson's business!!!

headofsocials:
Hafiz Oyetoro popularly called Saka shared his story
What does fatherhood mean to you?
Fatherhood means the ability to perform all responsibilities of taking care of one’s family and being able to meet the needs of the family. It also entails the ability to be emotionally stable and intelligent enough to accommodate physical, psychological and spiritual needs of the individuals who constitute the family. It is also the ability to acquire what it takes to be a father. It goes beyond giving a woman ‘belle.’
What age did you become a father and how did you feel holding your first child?
I became a father when I was close to 41 (laughs). It was not too late. But it was late. However, I felt so fulfilled. I am also grateful to God that I was able to the league of fathers. In the same week that my child was born, a friend of mine was giving away her daughter in marriage. You can imagine the gap.
Where were you when your wife gave birth?
When I heard the news that my wife had been delivered of a baby boy, I was elated. I was not around when my wife gave birth. I was on a movie location. I saw my first child the third day he was born. I called my mother-in-law to visit my wife at the hospital.
What did you do when you heard the news?
I called my wife to congratulate her. I told her to place the phone by the ear of the baby. Whether he could hear me or not, I insisted I wanted to talk to him. I said to my child on the phone, “Hello my son, welcome to Nigeria. I am your father. I am not around now but as soon as I come back, I am going to see you. You are welcome to my family.”
I think he heard me well because when I got home, he didn’t cry. He smiled when he saw me. God made everything easy for us. All our three children were born without complications. Within five minutes in the labour room, my wife gave birth. My wife didn’t go through much labour pains. In fact, my last child was born at the reception of the hospital. I thank God for His mercies. I have two boys and a girl.
What ed for your lateness in being a father?
I can’t specifically say why. For a very long time, I was more committed to my career. I was carried away by the demands of my profession. Another factor that could have led to that was poverty. I never wanted to rely on people to take care of my children. I decided to get married at a point that I was able to take care of myself and my family.
But many people assumed that you are a rich man.
You don’t just grow up one day; it is a process. I am not a millionaire, so to say. But I am very grateful to God that I can afford bread and butter on my table. When I said poverty delayed me, I meant that I hustled for a long time. A few years back, the entertainment industry was not recognised. It was our ion that kept us going. It was about five or 10 years back that entertainment started getting lucrative. I was only popular back then but poor. The idea of self-dignity, not wanting to rely on people for , ed for my delay.
How did struggling prepare you for fatherhood?
It made me to be properly ready. I learnt about fatherhood from friends who were already married. I had elder brothers who had gone through various family challenges. So, when I got married, all those challenges were not new to me because I had prepared well for them. I was mature to resolve all those challenges. I wish I married early.
What fascinates you about fatherhood?
The major challenge with marrying late is that my children are still in secondary and primary schools. It means I have a lot to do for my children. Children of my friends have finished their education. I used to attend the weddings and convocation organised for such children. But at my age, I am still paying school fees. While my colleagues can afford to buy cars and mansions worth millions of naira, because they are no longer paying school fees, I am doing more of investment in my children. I cannot afford to copy their lifestyle or afford such luxuries. I believe that I still have a long way to go. My children are my investments. When some people say, ‘Upon all the money wey Saka get, e no do this, e no get plenty cars’, I laugh. I am investing my money in my children because I don’t want them to through what I went through in life. I put more into their training so that they can be successful. I am giving them the best of education. When it comes to investing in other things and enjoyment, it is affecting me. While other fathers are getting gifts from their children, I am still paying school fees at my old age. I am not too old anyway (laughs). I am just 54.
What specifically are you doing to prepare your children for a better future?
First and foremost, I don’t joke with home training and education. I also ensure that they are close to God. Those are my priorities. I let them understand the realities of life; that one needs to work hard to be successful. I want to thank God that I know one or two people. But I don’t want my children to rely on people. I am giving them the best education that I can afford now. Knowledge is power. If they have the knowledge, they will know how to manage their lives. Once you equip your children with knowledge, you have done everything for them. I started school at nine. My children started school at age three or four. They would finish their education on time. I want to train them to be self-employed or employable so they won’t start afresh like me. I started from the scratch. I started from point zero. I want my children to start from point 10.
What kind of father are you at home?
My wife, children and I watch Saka together on TV. Saka is a different person from Hafiz Oyetoro, the husband and father. My children know their father, Hafiz Oyetoro. They know Hafiz Oyetoro, who acts Saka. It’s a professional grace for me. I want to thank God that I ed through good lecturers who trained me to differentiate my personality from the role I play in movies.
What do your children say when they watch you on TV?
My children are my first critics. Sometimes, they ask me, “Daddy, why is Saka doing like this?” “Is this how to wear the uniform?” Sometimes when I do something, I let them see it first and listen to them. My wife and children understand me most. When I am away for a long time and come back home, I loosen up. I organise dance competition and crack jokes. I do perform for them to cover up for the lost time. I really want to be close to my children. I try as much as possible to do so. My children are free with me and their mother. They are free to express their feelings. We give them disciplined freedom of expression.
How do you discipline your children?
I don’t cane my children. I feel that I don’t have to use the cane to get things done. I was brought up by my uncle who caned me. I didn’t like that. I lived with my father until age nine when I started primary school. From age nine, I was under the care of my uncle. It was really interesting because he was strict. I didn’t have freedom of expression. I didn’t want my children to experience that. I play with them and tell them stories. Once they misbehave, I could say, “You, because you have done this, don’t talk to me in your life again.” When I change my attitude, that child will feel odd and apologise. I used to tell them to kneel down and raise up their hands.
Is any of them interested in acting?
One of my children seems interested in being an actor like me. I don’t want to force them into any career. I give them the freedom to choose what they want to do. Whatever they want to become, my own is to them.
Is there anything they tease you about?
For instance, when I come home and tired, I could sleep in the living room. They would be dramatising, mimicking how I slept off. Sometimes, they tease me with some of the lines of Saka. They use the lines where I abused somebody to get back at me. I don’t tell them lies. I told them I was not a fantastic, excellent student way back in school. Most fathers would tell their children they used to take the first position even though it’s not true. When I was in primary school, I took first position for some time. But when some other smart guys came, they took over. Whenever we are in light mood, all those things I said when I was angry, they would rehearse it in my presence to tease me.
If there’s a lesson you want your kids to take from you as they move through life, what would it be?
Discipline, humility and believing in the Almighty God. I want them to learn these from me. I want them to know that there is no shortcut to success. When you don’t work for success, what is gained soon fritters away. If you work for success, you will be able to maintain it. When you are hard-working and believe in God, success will be with you forever. When you are disciplined, you won’t be jealous of other people’s success. If you are humble, people will respect you. I want them to be simple like me. Life is simple.
How do you manage to be a successful actor, teacher and father?
God has helped me to manage my time well. As a father, I don’t do more than I can. I live a simple life. I am very honest and faithful to my wife. I want to thank God and the producers. They know that I am a civil servant; so, they don’t give me jobs to do during the week. I don’t drink alcohol. I don’t run after women. I don’t smoke. I want to thank the Nigerian press. Up until today, I have not recorded any scandal. Scandals can be cooked up.
Female fans come but I have been able to overcome temptations.
You know that I am not that particularly handsome. But to my wife, I am a very handsome man. That is the reason she married me. But you cannot compare the character of Saka with that of Ramsey Noah and other handsome actors. The traffic of temptation and pressure from women to me is low.
Because I am a teacher, I live the life of a teacher. I don’t go to clubs. I am very simple, reserved and shy person. I am a complete “paki” (local man) man. This makes everything easy for me. I am thanking God for making me a simple person. Artistes are human beings with weaknesses.
What is one of the most important gifts your wife or children have given you in appreciation of your fatherly role?
The greatest blessing a man can get from God is to marry a woman who shares his vision. The greatest gift my wife has given me is her ability to share and my vision. She understands me from A-Z. She is a graduate of mathematics. I don’t even know how the chemistry works. She is caring but quiet. When I am not around, they pray for me. They even fast for me.
In the African setting, some believe that fathers are to play the role of providing for the home while the mothers take care of the home. Do you agree with this?
I disagree. Even in those days, our fathers took their wives to the farm. I am from a village. My mother used to accompany my father to the farm. My wife also takes care of certain responsibility of her volition. She had to resign from government job when we got married. She was a mathematics teacher somewhere. When we got married, she had to resign to take care of the children. Both of us cannot be working because the home front would suffer. She has her shops where she sells children things. Sometimes, she takes care of certain things without telling me. I only get to know later. My children used to call me to say mummy had taken care of something they were asked to bring in school. We work together as partners. But as the father, it is automatic that I carry the larger percentage of the family’s upkeep.
Have you cooked at home before?
I am a great cook. Don’t forget that I was a bachelor for 40 years (laughs). I cook once in a while now. It’s been long I did that. As time went on, I became very busy. In the last five years, I have not been able to do those domestic duties due to my busy schedules.
What is the most important relationship advice you give to people?
I will advise would-be couples to have jobs before getting married. It took me time to get married because I wanted to be able to withstand the financial cost. When the man is jobless and the wife is jobless, how do they maintain the home? Self-maintenance is a continuous responsibility. The marriage will not last if both would-be couples are jobless. Even if it’s the wife that is employed, they can still manage. They don’t need to have government jobs. But they must have a means of sustenance. If there is no butter on their bread, let there be water, at least, after taking the bread. I do not a marriage where both couples are jobless. There will be tension. When there is tension, there will be misunderstanding. When there is constant misunderstanding, the marriage will collapse.
