Sorry to call you here. I told you the other time that Nigerian courts saying allegations of forgery are criminal in nature and must be proven beyond reasonable doubt are not serious.
If the English court had also applied same principle, no way Nigeria could have gotten out of that P&ID case because all the allegation of bribery which Nigeria used to quash the case where not established through judicial process but rather through statements to EFCC. Yet the arbitration court used it to quash the $11bn judgement against Nigeria. Nigeria thus, benefitted from something its own courts do not accept. You see am now?

Kukutenla:

You must be high on cocaine. Was it PDP FG that revoked a contract in 2016 without thinking of the consequence? Abeg shift!

Who gave the guarantee?, kukute brain.

Like I said I have more facts than you do including facts of how the entire project never existed. But I won't raise those for now instead I will only dispel the trash you are peddling on the basis of your own ridiculous narrative.

Here we have a grown adult arguing that a deal procured by bribery and executed by the wrong persons in furtherance of said bribe is not fraud. For your information, an MOU is essentially a worthless piece of paper. And a contract signed by a person who has no authority to do so is a fraudulent piece of paper.

Have a little shame, friend!
If you had facts, you won't jump at that when I raised it. Look, I'm just telling you Nigeria's side of the story which the British court accepted and went with in quashing the deal. Don't forget that Quinn mentioned so many people that he claimed were aware of the deal including both Yar'adua and Jonathan as Presidents. He also mentioned both Lukman and Madueke as Petroleum ministers then.
An MOU is not a worthless piece of paper. It is a statement of preliminary agreement which may be binding or non-binding as the terms may be
The deal was not executed. Nigeria stalled it. Nigeria's argument is that we are not liable to pay damages for not supplying gas since you had not built the plant. The P&ID's argument was that that was not stated in the contract. The British court agreed with P&ID in that instance.
That the contract was signed by a Director who had no right to sign was not known to the British courts as well. But let's tell ourselves fact as Nigerians. Is it possible for the woman to sign such deal if she was not told to do so by her superiors? Look, you don't know much.
Just die the matter

Lol of course
Which is why Nigerian courts in electoral disputes intentionally instituted the clause to make it more difficult for whoever is alleging.
If INEC is saying a document is not coming from them and you're telling INEC to prove it beyond reasonable doubt. No be winch be dat? I nor gree! That thing na setup. It even conflicts with their other stance that only a maker of a document can attest to its validity or otherwise which is a good, common sense principle

They should seize everything these politicians use to flaunt and make an average Nigerian look like a failure. After all the citizens don't have access to these luxuries
