DeleteThose close to Chris Aire admitted and maintained that, apart from not having any business presence in Nigeria prior to this sudden invitation from the Minister of Petroleum resources,it is alarming that he had absolutely no idea how the oil industry works much less lifting,selling crude oil.His company solid21 incorporated's sole business was the buying and selling of jewelries and gem stones,he was a very sucessful dealer and quite known amongst the United States Celebrity circuit hence had no intention of venturing into a business in Nigeria until Mrs Madueke's visit.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the sources who revealed the exegesis of all that occured,a day after Mrs Madueke retund back to Nigeria to resume her duties at the Ministry of Petroleum Resources Chris Aire began the process of registering shell companies.
On the 9th of july 2010 (note the dates) he incorporated Siseno Oil Nigeria Ltd,a company whose purpose was listed as Petroleum Product Sales and Distribution, with Chris and a Patience illuobe (of same last name) as a Director.
Precisely 12 days after this incorporation,on the 21st of July 2010 this time in Nigeria through connections in the Corporate Affairs Commission,he incorporated another firm this time called Caligeria Oil Ltd with same mandate of Petroleum Product sales and Distribution,in this company he named one of his Us based business concerns (Osiris holdings) a Ms illuobe and Otaigbe Onyekwere Agba all as joint Directors in this company registered with Corporate Affairs Commission.
As if this was not already weird for a man who prior had no business presence in Nigeria,he then proceeded to incorporate yet another shell company this time United States subsidiary of the Caligeria Oil Ltd in the US this time with himself,Joseph Agbi (believed to be his body guard),Jivani Davoodian (a California,US based Solicitor) all as Joint Directors.
The curious and puzzling thing with this murky business is the fact that these companies had no single fixed address or a building in the whole of Nigeria,nevertheless the documents were passed to the Crude Oil Marketing Division of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation for approval to lift oil.
In spite of the alarm bells regarding these companies,they were discreetly approved to lift crude oil after a month or therebouts by the Minister of Petroleum Mrs Diezani Madueke,in flagrant disregard of NNPC standing rules.
According to the capital news portal who conducted this instructive findings,presently as things stand Chris Aire and Mrs Madueke's business dealings is on a wobbly foundation due to present Political realities.
When the going was good,Chris Aire had the best of both worlds as he became the toast and jeweller of choice for the biggest names from the First lady Dame Patience Jonathan to Governors first ladies and all others in between,while making hundreds of millions of dollars with his side business going with Mrs. Madueke.
Two different sources also confirmed independently of course that Chris Aire also popularly known as "The ice man" to many high profile US celebrities like Rihana,Snoop Dogg,Nelly,Jay Z,Ophrah Winfrey amongst many others was a regular and consistent conduit for money laundering of their proceeds abroad using his Jewelry business to move money all over the world.
I feel nothing for you madam diezani. You are nothing but thief. And you will go to jail. Chaiiii Nigerians are so gullible.
ReplyDeleteLooking for cheap sympathy. You won't get it. Opolo eyed thief. The money you stole is enoughg to build cancer centers in each state of the federation. Ole.
ReplyDeleteWhat if all these allegations against her were not true?

Whatever, Diezani-Alison Madueke, may God grant you miraculous healing.
