first to comment...am coming!
Eyahh...
Good for him. He chopped my money sometimes bck. I bought a ticket 2 Ghana, the flight was cancelled n I didn't get a refund. I had to quickly buy an emergency ticket frm Arik in order to meet my appointment. Av always known dt God will collect the money frm him, one way or the other.
Finally!overtake don overtake overtake #infela'svoice
If we are a serious country, let the law follow its course. Try him in court, and if found guilty, punish him. Nigerians have been sentenced to 22 years for stealing phones, a crime of this magnitude does far more damage to the nation.
Good to still have good authorities around. But defrauding federal govt.?? You'll always get caught!

I wish for once in this country,justice should be done.Jimoh Ibrahim committed a lot of fraud in Air Nigeria and lying to Nigerians that he shut down the Airline because of staff disloyalty and my question is this before the take over by Jimoh Ibrahim,the same disloyal staff grew the Airline fleet from 3 to 7 when Richard Bradson pulled out of Virgin Nigeria.This man stoled over N6B cashflow generated by the Airline ,by moving money from Air Nigeria on a monthly basis to Nicon Insurance and Nicon Investment.with the assistance of UBA he diverted $18m to set set up Energy bank of Ghana.He stole staff pension, cooperative contribution and staff 4 months salary, before terminating their employment on the pages of Newspaper.If not for the support of OBJ and some key PDP Stalwarts this man should be rutting in jail now. This man called corporate virus in Nigeria economy is only out to buy and kill businesses in Nigeria and we should all pray that God will take him out .
Its about time.
Tax fraud/evasion,no matter how small a percentage it is,constitutes to the bane of the Nigerian economy.
Chief Ibrahim is just one amongst many other wealthy Nigerians who indulge in this act.
Things you can't try with Big Ol' Uncle Sam,the IRS will definitely collect every cent it is owed and still make sure the offender serves time.
But then again,what has the government done with all the tax money they have been collecting?
Why is it so hard for them to keep to their own part of the Social Contract?
Who did he offend? Who did he not settle? He better go and settle that person...
ogaoo I pray Justice takes its full course.

Girl please!!!!!many of these naija business moguls evade tax o e way or the other in so gar as they settle the officer(s) in charge......we are hearing this only because perhaps sumthng went wrong with the settlement this time.if not,what was FIRS looking at that the tax liqbility rose up to the loint of running i to billions? Sumone wasnt doing his job or busy compromising until the contract went bad with jimoh ibrahim.
Nothing was said of aunty stella again and i am sure nothing will come out of this issue either.This is a banana republic of a country!!!!!!totally messed up!!!!!!

Thank u my dear, Hatred has eaten deep into many nigerian and is too bad
Its political jimoh is obj son and obj and Gel are @ war....
He takes delight in buying off dying Companies, he pumps in money, saps them dry,ruin them then close them down giving a very flimsy excuse
curoption everywhere.
THAT MEANS HIS FLOODED NICON HOTEL IN VGC THAT HAS RENDERED VGC GATE ENTRANCE UNMOTORABLE WILL NOT BE RECTIFIED FOR A LONG TIME.
The shallowness with which we present our opinions is alarming.if you do not agree with one person's point of view,state your position and make it devoid of unecessary insults!!!!!haba!!!many rude remarks that are totally uncalled for.there is so much negativity in the way we relate with eachother and it makes me sick to my stomach!!!! I can as well continue on the thread of insults but it doesnt make sense. Show some maturity in discourses or arguments and avoid these bickering! Gosh!!no wonder we are the way we are!!!!!
Angry people....
God is watching dem on 4D screen!!!!!1 day every tin will be over. 4 dem !!!!!awon ole jatiti
so, the government is just getting to know...mcheww. all of them b thief
He'll still bribe his way through
#justpassingby
Comments such as these are what ruin this country, what a warped thought process, if we are all thinking that he should go settle someone and not face the full extent of the law, then nobody should scream when these so-called people in power continue to pillage this country.hipsy!
The guy is a crook! High time he got caught!!
Bangladeshi
Though Say so via I respected Jimoh Ibrahim seriously. He's fucking up these days.
Good...
Very good...
Let him vomit the taxes...
N6.8b is not really a big deal for the super brat dude, I guess...
But let them have him released soon enough...pursuant to the Fair Hearing clause under section 36 of the 1999 Constitution, as amended...
After-all, the man pays the salaries of many thousands of Nigerians who are his employees...
Nobody holy pass, according to Tuface...
That's change compared to bigger frauds by his mentors
Linda Keep up the good work but he was not arrested though even FIRS confirmed that http://wp.me/p41RXl-8W have a wonderful day dishing out the latest news
Linda.. I heard that Car scandal: panel submit result, recommend 3-year jail term for Odua.
God bless you for this comment. This Jimoh is a fraudster not a business man. He stole all the money at air nigeria before sacking the staff on the pages of newspaper. He will not know peace till he dies. Oluwa a fi omi ara ati eje ara je Jimoh ni iya. Amin.
Jimoh na unrepentant fraudster. Oloriburuku somebody.

As much as I dislike the guy..I Know he will still bribe his way out of the system. I can bet that he is in this situation cos he has stepped on some toes. Once he sorts himself out, all will be swept under the carpet as usual. Mshew.
