Nigerians!

Read before you comment on issues o! Kai!

MR. E.F.C.C. WHERE WERE YOU WHEN ALL THIS LOOTING ARE GOING ON.....[color=#000099][/color]

This Buhari is so interesting. Its main concern is not governance but accusation and counter accusations. Always telling stories of GEJ. Nigerians should know right now that if we Nigerians fail to stand up and kill the method propaganda, then be sure that propaganda will kill Nigerians. Wonderful. They will never tell us how they will improve the well being of Nigerians, but always diferent stories, this has happened, that has happened. Tufiakwa.
Very fake government.

So the legendary ineffective Lamorde can talk now.....how many of them was prosecuted under his watch when Jonathan was the president...make that guy go sit down.

midolian:
Face topic abeg.. If we are to make the comparism in truth, OBJ stole a cat and GEJ stole a Tiger..And this is not obasanjo talking, its lamorde..so the comparism is unwarranted. U guys jst can't do without comparing GEJ's regime with OBJ's. Is this ya new way of saying GEJ is not corrupt? Or let's even "assume" OBJ stole more, does that justify GEJ's attrocities?

Typical yoruba man

Reading and understanding is just our problem in this country!!

DIAMO1:
Oga Jo was simply the most corrupted Nigerian president ever...

Read the article once again. Lamorde said the total money taken out of the country by travellers(including businessmen, tourists, students, politicians, expatriates, etc)were so and so amount for the years under review. It was simply a statistical data. Nothing more than that.

thank God Nigeria is getting better

Did some of us read the story before we comment? From what I read here, it's a plus on GEJ for fighting Corruption with a system not by noise. He said in 2013, it was about 9bn, in 2014, it came to 1.something and later, dropped to an all time low because of improved surveillance. Let's read the content instead of the headline.

Fvck yhu sideways a$$hole!

@Larmode #EFCC #Larmode.. you are one big ODE! fuku-fuku.. is it not under your watch numerous corrupt ex-governors and seating stealers are winning court cases and injuctions against the EFCC? which criminal have you brought to justice with that your islamic forehead.. GEJ is a crook, ,try arresting the rest of his Gang you big dufus.. Buhari will soon sack you, do you think he his not aware of your complicity in this fraud? All time low ke? heediot, mallam 2-kobo

Most persons on this forum read to crticize and not to understand.The caption is'travellers' which might include us,inlaws,fathers,mothers,politicians,business moguls etc.So how does GEJ come in here? Infact it also shows the vibrancy of the economy then unlike now that un orthodox methods are being applied to restrict funds avaliable for foriegn travellers.

Splashme:
This is not an indictment on GEJ.
I know the propagandist APC will attempt to reframe his comment to suit their mischievious intentions

Lamorde is only trying to praise EFCC under him for some achievements from 2012 down the line

12b dollars declared by people traveling outside Nigeria doesn't necessarily mean that these monies were stolen from Nigeria. If the efcc or ndlea was in doubt about the source of these monies they should have carried out further investigation on the people with a view to identifying the source of the money.

Dis Efcc man is a lier he wants to retain his job by blasting his boss sai baba fire d big fool efcc boss

The zombies and paper m@stubators here really need to read the article AGAIN before they comment. Lamorde was referring to foreign currency declaration at the nation's, you know same foreign currencies you declare at the country's ports before you board a flight out. And judging by the rate of travel out of the country and massive amount of trade done, i dont think the stated amount is even much. Yet these touts and airheads just glanced at the title and are busy shouting "CORRUPTION". The OP needs to rephrase this useless and totally misleading title for the thread

My brother abi oh. And these fools who are busy screaming "corruption" wonder why they still fail their WAEC/GCE exams again.

The heading of this tread is very misleading.

The poster must be an illiterate!

banito1:
Ah such amount of money taken out under your watch is a testament to your failure

just my thought. How could you Larmorde have allowed that to happen during the former regime without saying a word but now you're playing the role of an hypocrite. Its shameful and have proved you failed and cannot be trusted.

Mee234:
Every body who had messed have found the sanusi option very effective: when u are about to be exposed, just say some billions of dollars were missing. It will become the new talking point and the attention will be away from you and your deed.

They don't know that Sanusi used his stories of stolen billion billion Dollars to demonize Jonathan government so as to make way for power shift to north.

Who took the money out? Do we have right as Nigerians to know them?

Is the financiers of Boko Haram money among?

Did you say twelve billion dollars?
hmm.

People that know this man should advise home to be sure of what he is saying.

Let him not dare like some other people who will say twelve today, tomorrow fourteen, the next day 5 and the day after thirteen.

It's not that late for him to say now that he was misquoted or something. After this week, if he comes up with a fresh distant figures, we will have the cause to brand him with the others.

I call on my friends and follow compatriots to advise the man to be sure of what he says before it is too late, because the country is very very...no. now.

midolian:
Ibrahim Lamorde, chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has stated that currency declaration by travellers out of Nigeria amounted to $12.058 billion in three years.

He made the disclosure in Abuja at the opening ceremony at the opening ceremony of a five-day inter-agency training programme on, Cross Border Financial Investigation organized by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

It was organised for officers of the Nigeria Police Force, NPF; Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS; Nigeria Customs Service, NCS; National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, and the EFCC..

Lamorde said currency declaration in 2012 was $9.9 billion. In 2013, it dropped to $1.324 billion as Nigeria stepped up surveillance at the airports.

“There was a further drop in 2014 as currency outflows recorded an all- time low of $807,585,061.70″.

He called for improved financial intelligence gathering by the anti-graft agency and other law enforcement agencies in the country to check flow of illicit funds, if the war on terror must be won.

“A reputable strategy to fight insurgency is to deprive the insurgents of funds, because there is no dispute that illicit funds movement across borders fuels organized crimes, including terror attacks and insurgency in Nigeria,” Lamorde said.

According to him, “There is an urgent need to strengthen our financial intelligence architecture to enable us effectively monitor cash trails and check illicit cash flow to organized criminal gangs.”

“Up till now, the major concern in the fight against insurgency is on how the insurgents fund their operations within the sub-region.”

“While tremendous progress has been recorded in strengthening the Anti-Money Laundering Regulations and the Compliance Regime in Nigeria, monitoring the movement of cash outside the financial sector, remains a major challenge, because of Nigeria’s predominantly cash-based economy,” he said.

The EFCC boss, also applauded the commitment of the United States government in assisting Nigeria surmount its contemporary challenges through institutional development.

“it is gratifying that this programme is coming a few weeks after the historic visit of President Muhammadu Buhari, to the United State, where he and President Barack Obama pledged to deepen the cooperation and friendship between our two countries”.

Lamorde who said he had always considered the United States as a dependable ally in the fight against economic crimes and corruption in Nigeria, explained that the record of partnership between the EFCC and major US institutions, such as the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI, United States Postal Inspection Service, United States Secret Service, among others, bears testimony to this.

He said the EFCC has benefitted from many training programmes organized by US agencies in Nigeria, Ghana, Malta, Botswana and the United States. He however described the impact of such exposure on the operations of the Commission as invaluable.

He said while tremendous progress has been recorded in strengthening the anti money laundering regulation and compliance regime in Nigeria, monitoring the movement of cash outside the financial sector, remains a major challenge, considering that Nigeria is still predominantly a cash-based economy.

His solace is however in the fact that the EFCC, in collaboration with the Nigeria Customs Service and the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, have in the last few years taken very bold step to check illicit movement of cash across our borders; where operatives stationed at major international airports across the country have intercepted millions of dollars in cash, which were not declared to customs by their owners.

Deputy Chief of Mission, United State Embassy, Maria Brewer said that the training programme will expose participants to new trends and techniques in combating economic and financial crimes. “Since economic and financial crimes is a global phenomenon, the training will focus among others, on taking away proceed of crime, because when you take away the money, you take away why people do crime”, she said.

Other dignitaries at the opening ceremony included, Benjamin Bryan, acting director, International Narcotics and Law Enforcement US Mission Abuja; Steve Robinson, Attaché, Department of Homeland Security Investigation, DHSI; T. A. Hundeyin, Deputy Comptroller General of Immigration, who represented the NIS boss, and Alhaji Hamisa Lawal, Commander of Narcotics, who represented the NDLEA boss.

Highpoint of the ceremony was the donation of a high-tech counting machine to the EFCC. Brewer, who made the presentation on behalf of the US government, said that it was one way, in which the President Barack Obama-led administration, planned to assist the EFCC and the country at large in fighting corruption.

LAMORDE is just acting out the Northern Agenda, which is "To discredit Pres. Jonathan and his Administration in order to facilitate their own looting in the guise of FIGHTING CORRUPTION. No meaningful development will be done as the Govt. would claim there is no money to run its affairs (It has already proposed to increase Value Added Tax (VAT) from 5% to 10% because it needed money to meet up its financial obligations). Pls can smne asked Lamorde where was he all these years that he did not give these information until now? Who was the EFCC Boss during the period in question? How will these revelations and analyses help to curb corruption and inflation already ravaging the Country? In what way will the Present Administration benefits from these revelations? etc. I am sure by the time PMB (and APC) would have finished his tenure, informed Nigerians would have realised that they have made a bigger mistake voting them (APC) into Power. Much as I agreed that there were corrupt Politicians in PDP, the APC itself was no "SAINT" but a bunch of Looters disguising as agents of CHANGE. May the LORD help us in Nigeria.

I like naija, cos wen one leader leaves office, na then and only den people dey get mouth talk wetin dem want.

Small time now people go come out start talk about buhari wen him don leave too.

SweetSophia:
Oga Jona why Oga Jona why

Wait, are Nigerians so dumb. Were in the thread did he lay the blame at the doorstep of the ex-president. The major catalyst for the financial exodus is simply CAPITAL FLIGHT. I don't want to believe there is not one commentator on the APC team that has an economic background. This is really sad. I am beyond flabbergasted at the IQ deficiency of APC nairalanders. I am speechless, simply speechless.

obailala:
Nigerians have a very serious reading problem

This issue has nothing to do with Jonathan or even corruption; these are moneys which were legally declared by law abiding citizens. The real problem is knowing how much left the shores of Nigeria illegally.

Thank you ooo, NLders can read but can't comprehend.

Oga Jonathan was simply given order's from above, so there is little he could do except he wants to resign.
