Lord Lucan

Yes spot on!

This was NEO's (of "What's new in West Africa" forum fame) nickname for Fred after he disappeared from Nigeria at the time of the USA SEC investigating allegations of bribes being paid by various Managers in Nigeria over many years (Shock Horror I hear everyone cry!) Another example of Uncle Sam flexing muscles which could possibly receive adequate exercise in his own back yard. Nothing malicious in the nickname - in fact quite apt! (No bodies involved as with the real Lord "Lucky" Lucan)

Incumbent Management at the time were obvious targets and we now all have to take a COBI (Code of Business Integrity) test. There is no truth in the rumour that everyone just dashes the Tea Boy a few Nairas and he will take the computer test for you

COBI often makes life rather difficult in a Culture built on graft but surprisingly, it seems to be working although is open to abuse with potential malicious false allegations always a threat.

Sorry to hear GHC going down the tubes!
