Jimoh Ibrahim To Pay $10 Million For Breach Of Contract

Controversial and billionaire business man, Jimoh Ibrahim was ordered by US District Judge Katherine to pay over $10 million for breach of contract between himself and US company, Aersale Inc. Jimoh Ibrahim failed to meet his obligations on two aircraft he personally leased for the operation of his defunct airline, Air Nigeria which was grounded and the airline’s air worthiness certificate revoked by Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority {NCAA}. He is to pay up an initial $8 million owed to Aersale Inc., the owners of the leased aircraft. The judge also ruled that Mr. Ibrahim must pay interests on the lease as well as legal fees incurred by Aersale Inc. to pursue the lawsuit against him.

Air Nigeria collapsed a few days after a Dana Airways flight crashed in a Lagos suburb, killing all passengers on board as well as some people on the ground.

it is reported by online Magazine, Sahara Reporters that anonymous staff who worked for Air Nigeria reaveled that Air Nigeria would have sustained a tragic air crash because Mr. Ibrahim was more interested in carting away profits than in maintaining the aircraft in his airline’s fleet and that he owed numerous service maintenance providers and lessors huge sums of debt which compelled the NCAA to revoke the airline’s air worthiness certificate, leading to its collapse.

Reports has it that Aersale, Inc. would likely seek the seizure of Mr. Ibrahim's private jet as part of a broader strategy to recouping debts owed to them.

Over Here Guys!; Mosanto Develops Revolutionary New Penis-Enlarging Corn Crop. (Must Read)

The multinational agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology corporation, Monsanto, announced this morning, that they had genetically engineered a modified corn crop, designed to help men have larger penises and longer-lasting erections. The company’s scientists used genes from a number of plants to create this surprising species of transgenic corn, described as “more efficient than any penis-enlarging pill”. They notably used genetic material from a plant native to Indonesia and Malaysia, called Eurycoma Longifolia or Tongkat Ali , which is known for its ability to raise testosterone levels. They also used genes from watermelon, as its rind is a good natural source of citrulline, a dietary precursor which causes the penis to fill up nitric oxide. This relaxes the smooth muscle in blood vessels and erectile organs, augmenting the penis’ capacity for enlargement during erection. “Men will...

Justice And The Killer Cop

NOT surprisingly, and for good reasons too, security agencies, in particular the Nigeria Police, have been placed on the spot by local and international human rights communities for their highhandedness in dealing with suspects in custody or at points of arrest. Quite a number of extra-judicial killings and tortures in these circumstances have been highlighted by the local media too. Against this background, the judgment of the Bayelsa State High Court, Nembe Division, sitting in Yenagoa, delivered by Justice Lucky Boufili sending killer policeman, Matthew Egheghe, to the gallows is most welcome. It is a bold statement that the law frowns at cruelty by uniformed officers of the state and that an appropriate premium is placed on life by the Nigerian state. That judgment would not bring back the dead, but it should to some extent console their grieving families that justice was served to the guilty. It would equally serve as a deterrent to trigger-h...
