The Real Reason Why Amaechi Disrupted Planned Trip China

Here are reasons why the fiasco between Minister of Transportation, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi and his counterpart in the Ministry of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun generated into a hot verbal exchange.

After the Minister of Transportation, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi engaged Finance Minister, Mrs Kemi Adeosun in a verbal showdown after he stopped two directors in his ministry and that of the Ministry of Finance from departing for China last week on their originally scheduled flight, causing a disruption in the first meeting slated for the Nigerian delegation and the China Exim Bank in Beijing, more facts have emerged as to the cause of the quarrel.

 

The Nation reports that Amaechi and his team were about to depart for China from Abuja onboard Emirates Airline, when he discovered that the flight tickets of the directors from his ministry had been paid for by the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC), one of the interested contractors in the railway and airport rehabilitation projects.

 

Uncomfortable with the notion, the minister was said to have disapproved and asked his directors to disembark from the plane, insisting that they should not go on the trip on the bill of a contractor, who was an interested party in the business that was billed for discussions with the China Exim Bank.

 

“The minister was livid and could not comprehend why he would be flown on an official trip by an interested contractor. So the minister gave the order immediately for everyone to disembark from that flight,” one ministry source revealed.

 

It was also gathered that Amaechi on sighting two other directors from the Ministry of Finance on the plane and after making enquiries, discovered that the same contractor had paid for their trip too.

 

Angry over the fact that top civil servants were being induced by a contractor, Amaechi immediately asked the directors from the finance ministry to disembark also.

 

But in taking the decision, since the Ministry of Finance was not under his supervision, Amaechi was said to have called Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo to seek his endorsement to prevent the finance directors from proceeding on the trip on sponsored tickets.

 

The vice-president was said to have given him the go ahead, reinforcing Amaechi’s position that nobody must go on the bill of any contractor, The Nation reveals.

 

The infuriated Minister asked his ministry to settle the cost, including those of the finance directors which would be later reimbursed to the ministry later. However, the matter didn't die there as Amaechi on getting to China discovered that the same company had made provisions for their hotel reservations. He again, refused to be bought and settled the bills from his ministry's pocket.

 

But angry Adeosu oblivious of details surrounding the situation had chided Amechi for delaying his directors in Beijing. She however calmed down when she was fed the right information of all that transpired.

He said: “Democracy has come to Nigeria to stay, sooner than we expected, Nigeria will be regarded as one of the strongest in Africa.”

Shocking! Jealous Lover Sets Heavily Pregnant Woman on Fire and Left Her to Die on the Street (Photos)

A heavily pregnant woman has met cruel fate after her estranged jealous lover set her ablaze on the street and left her to die.

A cruel jealous lover has set his pregnant Italian lover ablaze and left her to die on the street. The woman identified as Carla Caiazzo, 38,  suffered serious burns and has been given just a 50% chance of survival following the attack near the city of Naples.

 

She was rushed to hospital where doctors gave her an emergency caesarean to save her baby’s life and treated for third degree burns on more than half of her body. 

 

Ms Caiazzo was a beauty therapist before the incident. The identify of her attacker has been revealed. The suspect is a wealthy property heir boyfriend Paolo Pietropaolo, 40.

 

The motive for the wicked act might have been because of the fact that the woman hinted that she wants to dump him. Although Ms Caiazzo’s chances of survival are hanging in the balance, her baby girl was described as healthy - albeit weighing just 4.8lbs.

 

Ms Caiazzo herself faces years of reconstructive surgery on her severely burned face if she survives.

 

Witnesses said Pietropaolo first punched his pregnant girlfriend in the face outside the villa he shared with his mother, according to The Times. He then retrieved a bottle of industrial-strength alcohol, poured it over her head and set her alight before driving off at high speed.

MTN Reveals Disturbing Message to Ondo Subscribers...See Details

Telecommunication giants, MTN has issued a disturbing message to its subscribers in a South-west state concerning services.

  

Millions of subscribers in Ondo State and its environs would likely experience negative impacts on the quality of MTN Nigeria services following the closure of its facilities by the state government, according to DailyTrust.

The telecoms operator said so in a statement issued by its corporate communications executive, Amina Oyagbola, adding that services that will be affected comprised voice and data services, voice traffic across other operators and international traffic, enterprise data service to third-party clients (mostly banks and other corporate clients), which may, in turn, impact services such as ATMs, POS and others.

The Ondo State Government, on December 23, last year, sealed MTN’s base transmission stations (BTS) in the state over tax-related issues.

The sealing followed a court order against MTN regarding a tax claim of N458.5 million allegedly owed the Ondo State Board of Internal Revenue Service (OSBIRS) in pay-as-you-earn (PAYE) deductions, withholding tax (WHT), development levy, business premises tax and education endowment tax.
