I worked in that project in an engineering company I worked. They are trying to hid something that's why they are tactfully trying to deport him.

Now that the Eagles are in Russia,they should use style and locate the house of that MMM guy and ask his family how they want their thunder

No time haha!

begwong:

Guess it's better to have hundreds of such illegal immigrants than the ravaging thousands of foolanis killing Nigerians daily!

Who said that

the south Korean guy is a threat to someone powerful in the oil industry, they just used the senate to repatriate him

If u know, u know

anyebedgreat:
Hmmm, I'm impressed.

impressed with what?

If only Nigerian government will do more of this, Indians, Lebanese, Chinese and others comes into Nigeria without documents, no thanks to customs after monies would have changed hands.

Naija system has done you so much misfortune, you need a reorientation.

NCDMB is dragging things too far at times.

We all shout Nigerian Content, Nigerian Content forgetting that they are people that have the indigenous technology we bring into the market and they need to be part of their investment.

Take a look into the deepwater world for example, where you have Nigerian owned companies acquiring sophisticated offshore vessels running into billions of Naira from the ASIAN / European market and back here NCDMB would not allow a foreigner work on the ship! Dont be misguided by sentiment, as at today Nigerian can only boast of less than five (5) core competent electro-technical officers to man a ship in the oil and gas industry. The rest just went to Ghana Maritime Authority to pick certificates. They come to your vessel and ruin the machinery on board thereby deploying the NIgerian company as ship owners into debt. Now the company has additional cost to bring in OEM and spares into the country to repair things not covered by warranty (Insurance and warranty doesnt cover cluelessness and ignorance).

Taking about the last part

for those not aware, every project in the oil and gas industry has a percentage for local spend by law, but lets face the honest truth NCDMB should show us any company in nigeria that manufactures common solenoid valves, oil/water filters or PLC display panels. Did i hear someone say Nigerian can be trained to manufacture this items? We have a lot of trained Nigerians already (local and foreign), this issue goes beyond class room and practical training; there is no enabling environment - we are yet to address power issue which is the bedrock of manufacturing! We do not ave the indigenous technology, you can not reproduce another persons work without license/permission and yes no OEM will issue that for free knowing well enough that you wont let there staff stay in your country to work.

See defense! So that justifies an unlawful order when the person has complete papers?

If he had complete papers, then Atiku is wrong!

Someone should have lost their job for this but its Buhari senseless like Jonathan.

Boss, I think the question we should be asking ourselves is
1) is he an illegal immigrant or not?
2) did he contravene the local content act?
3) are his papers regularised or not?

The world over, backroom stuffs go on , even by govt agencies to give their preferred company an advantage, but it would be bad enough if you are competing as a foreign company yet contravening the laws of the land. If a Nigerian company or director was guilty of this in a foreign company, Nigerians would be tagged as fraudsters. My colleague defaulted on credit payment in the UK and he got redflagged by his bank. Even after paying up, his 'poor credit history' haunts him wherever he goes.
Before we go into the hypothetical discussion of if he is being victimized or not, let's look at what has been placed before us.


PS: I have tried to share the local content act , just in case anyone wants to know wosup but e no dey gree enter.

How come the Senate is now doing immigration work , don't we have immigration agency

SalamRushdie:
When are we deporting killer herdsmen who clearly have no documentation but yet are in Nigeria

In fact they have more valid Nigerian passport than you8

I don't believe this story, find out, it's either the man has refused to settle them. Our legislature is that corrupt

I totally agree with you bros, but this is Nigeria oooooo...there is a scandal and Senate is pushing for deportation, is that the Nigerian Senate's job ?

Senate wants handle everything from organizing election to deportation... Mtchew..... They should just be the executuve and its organ then

This 8th senate behaves as if they are the executive arm. Who will carry out the illegal order? Not sure the IG will. Instead of making laws and oversighting the MDAs, they are issuing orders to the executive arm.

Spot on, only someone with experience will u understand what u said.

when did senate become immigration officers to order deportation? i strongly believed this MD was eating alone

CSTR1003:

If the elected representatives of the people should not have that power, then who should?

Or is it because it is a saraki led Senate?

I don't care who leads the Senate I just think that something as drastic as the deportation of a person should not be able to be decided by a partisan body. A system of immigration courts should make these decisions as this power has the potential to be abused in the future.

But the Reason of The Machines not Working given by the South Korean should be well checked becos it could be True.....

I Remember Clearly in 2016, When I went to the NIS Headquarters in Abuja and For More than 2weeks Passports couldn't be issued due to Scarcity of Passports booklets...
Anything is Possible in our Country!!

Where were you when Nigeria deported almost 1 million Ghanaians in 1983? And when Abdurrahman Shugaba Darman was also deported to Chad, when it was alleged that he was a Chadian, even though he was from Borno? Or when 792 illegal immigrants were repatriated to their countries between January and December 2016? Or when majority of Chinese nationals were deported from Nigeria, last year?

Oga, just stop that rubbish. Nobody is saying foreigners should not come and work, but they should do so legally after applying for the relevant work permits and getting the necessary documentation, to do so. And the companies recruiting their services should also follow the proper guidelines, instead of bringing in foreigners through the back door! Can you go to their own country to do the same thing? As rich as Abrahamovich was, what happened to his English visa?

Many of these foreign firms prefer to bring in their staff from abroad, to do several jobs that Nigerians are qualified to handle. Can you try that in Norway or any Western European country? Here you see Chinese, Indians and other foreigners doing jobs that are not even hi-tech. I once worked for a firm where an Indian chef was brought in, and called a food technologist on his work permit!

In cases where there are no qualified Nigerians, what stops them from training Nigerians and equipping them with the relevant skills to get the job done? Nigerians are among some of the most qualified people you will find at home and abroad, handling diverse projects and doing it well, once they have been given the relevant skills and knowledge.

Even if solenoids and valves are not manufactured locally, are we saying you cannot train Nigerians to install them locally, after manufacturing them abroad? Is it rocket science? How long and how much, does it take to train competent electro-technical officers? Is it something that cannot be done?

In 2001/2002 when GSM started, a lot of foreign engineers were brought in to install the first set of base stations. Many of them were white South Africans. At that time, we had very few Nigerian telecom engineers. Many of our graduates did not know the difference between a microwave radio, an LNB and an RF antenna, at that time. Yet, hundreds of technical staff needed to be sent into the field urgently, to roll out telecom installations. What happened?

The major GSM companies and their sub-contractors had to recruit Nigerian graduates with degrees in physics, electrical engineering, electronics and computer science to understudy the foreign engineers, so they could learn how to install Base Transceiver Sites (BTS) and other equipment on base stations. The foreigners said it would take at least 1 year for our boys to get the hang of it, and it would probably take 3 years for them to start working on BTS sites without supervision. In under 6 months our boys were installing those sites from start to finish, without any supervision and the sites were working well.

Abeg, all these foreign firms should stop their antics. It is our hard earned forex they use to pay these expatriate staff, and they spend huge money renting them posh apartments in choice areas. They simply use these expatriates to retain their hold on the company and repatriate enough dollars back to their countries, in order to clean out our cash.

Thank God for NCDMB. If not, would the six modules of the Egina FPSO (floating production storage and offloading unit) that were built at LADOL in Nigeria, been done? Would our guys have gained experience working on that vessel? Would the money spent by Total on that project in Nigeria, have been realised here? It would have been spent in Korea or somewhere else. And who would have been the loser in the long run?

The South Korea MD does not have photograph

It is only here in Nigeria foreigners live and work here without valid immigration papers.

We have Indians, Lebanese, Pakistani, Indonesian, Sri Lankan etc all working here in Nigeria without government authority checking them.

IF NOT FOR THE EGINA OIL PROJECT PROBE THAT CAME UP NOBODY WOULD HAVE INVESTIGATED THE SOUTH KOREAN

I dey tell you....the things that these foreign companies get away with ehn, you dare not try it if you were in their own country.
