Idokojimmy: When it is alleged that Dino's protests are nollywood scripts sponsored by indicted oil magnate, I just go back to bed, weeping like Ribadu. It is now clear what Dino uses proceeds from these protests for. Perhaps to give the likes of Lola Alao N10million for launch. Buying BB and changing Bisi Ibidapo's wardrobe and settling his other lovepeddlers in his payroll. This man is a monumental fraud.

A 59-year-old Nigerian neurosurgeon at Providence Hospital, Dr. Ikemba Iweala, husband of Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has confessed that he started an affair with a 20-something year old nurse who hailed from his native country. But what happened next, authorities say, made him a hapless victim of a scam that has been pulled in Nigerian communities around the world.

The nurse and a mysterious partner began demanding that the doctor turn over large sums of money — overtime, a total of $180,000 — to keep the affair a secret from the doctor’s wife, a prominent World Bank official and Brookings Institution scholar. They said they had pictures of him and the nurse during assignations in a car.

The doctor paid up, but his wife found out anyway, according to court papers filed in the case, and now the whole sorry mess is being painfully replayed at the federal courthouse in Washington, where the nurse is on trial on extortion charges.

The embarrassed doctor told the jury that his stupidity sullied his and his family’s reputation and seriously wounded his marriage.

“Things will never be the same,” a frail-looking, gray-bearded Ikemba Iweala said with a sigh as he testified on November 2. “I am still married. . . . But I feel very angry at myself. And, I have lost a lot of money.”

Iweala hoped to conceal the affair and protect his community standing in the United States and in Nigeria, he acknowledged to prosecutors. Other members of his family, based in the cozy suburb of Potomac and with high profiles in their own fields, had much at stake as well.
His wife, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, is a former foreign and finance minister for Nigeria and a veteran employee of the World Bank. She is a Harvard-educated economist and was mentioned as a possible successor to Paul D. Wolfowitz, who resigned as president in June. This month, the new World Bank president, Robert B. Zoellick, made her one of his top deputies.

Uzodinma Iweala, the couple’s son, who graduated from St. Albans and Harvard, is the author of the critically acclaimed “Beasts of No Nation,” his first novel. The fictionalized story of an African child warrior was released last year.

The doctor’s paramour, Queen Nwoye, 28, on trial before U.S. District Judge Ellen S. Huvelle, insisted that she, too, was a victim.

Testifying in her own defense, she admitted yesterday that she helped collect the money and helped her boyfriend, Adriane Osuagwu, pretend to be her cousin so he could conceal his identity. But with a sullen face and insistent cries, Nwoye testified that she was powerless to resist the orders of Osuagwu, whom she described as a physically abusive, controlling man and the scheme’s mastermind.

“This is a sad case,” Nwoye’s attorney, John Iweanoge, told jurors in opening statements earlier in the week. “You’re going to hear evidence of adultery, no question. You’re going to hear about money going into Ms. Nwoye’s accounts.”

But, the defense attorney continued, “Ms. Nwoye was a victim too, She made the mistake of her life falling in love in the middle of a divorce with the wrong man.”

According to court papers, the story began in early 2002 when Nwoye, then a nurse in training, noticed the doctor’s name in a hospital directory. She said she recognized Iweala as a fellow Nigerian and introduced herself. They became friends, and, in September 2002, they became lovers. The sexual relationship ended in August 2003, they both said, but their

friendship continued.
Nearly three years later, in February 2006, Iweala testified, he received a surprise call from Nwoye. She told Iweala that he must call her cousin “Ufondu” in Georgia. It was then that “Ufondu,” an alias that the nurse’s new boyfriend was using, demanded that the doctor pay $20,000 or he would tell Iweala’s wife about the affair.

Remii:

No, Dino was a member of integrity group led by Farouk that got the lady out of seat

chucky234: Dino Melaye might not be a credible figure but his stance on Patricia Etteh was credible and commendabe becaue it was confirmed sometime last year that Patricia Etteh was framed up by Lawan Farouk and had Demije Bankole installed.
The same house Patrica wanted to renovate for N40m was renovated by Dimeji Bankole for N400m then later sold it to himself for N100m,house of reps cleared Patricia Etteh last year after discovering the truth,she never stole money from the house and I watched the

sitting of the house live on NTA.


You can nail Dino Melaye here but not Patricia,you should always get your facts right before ranting.
Since you are not aware of Patricia being cleared by the House I have been able to dug out some links where you can read it.
