Any investor dat has a valid source of income & right motive 4 doing business, will have nothing 2 fear. People investing in legit businesses will be bold 2 invest in a country like Nigeria in times like dis.
We aren't scaring dem, but paving d way 4 investors 2 come in. Our system is being sanitised.


Welcome to the real world my dear, their is no such time like an investor with legit money.



Even the government cannot boost of legit money.


this is the real world ok

Just as how they indicted PEJ of graft because she has some amounts of money in her account, even without identifying how she illegitimately sourced the money, not even an invitation for questionings on how she sourced the funds. Buhari has turned EFCC to a laughing stock.


Where do you gather your information from? You and your source is now a laughing stock

EFCC Froze the acct, not EFCC Frozen the acct. Is that clear?
I mean in the context below
. Can you say her accounts were froze According to what you just said now

blueto:
Was PEJ invited for questionings before her accounts were freezed and threats were made to confiscate it into the TSA?? get the clear message, EFCC are making irrational moves!. The funds owned by investors may be channelled into the TSA even without investors being giving the opportunity to make clarifications. Stop make illiterate and blinded comments here.

[quote author=progress69 post=49606268]

Ur level of ignorance is appaling, and ur show is illiteracy is alarming. Firstly the correct word their is froze. Most times i feel u deliberately shame urself on line for some peanuts or u are actually empty. Firstly, do u know money laudering is? And are u awere the 4 companies who actually laudered the money for PEJ have actually pleaded guilty in court? Are u also aware that such money is forfeited to the govt when found guilty. The money was found in the company's acct not PEJ's acct so why the hell is she making silly noise. In b/w ia she trying to buy a celestial body or what, yow can someone claim over N5bn if for medical bills? I am sure u struggled to buy this data. EFCC can freeze ur account before inviting u to clarify, its done world wide. All needed is a court order...

Hahahahaha. Now i know i am wasting my time with a clown. Her account was frozen, deal with it. Can u also validate that there was no court order, can u also validate that machineries were hired or u are just blabbing from the discomfort of ur little room? Better don't bite urself whilst trying to speak rubbish cheesy. She gave a 14 day ultimatum,lets see what the clown will do. Meanwhile in b/w the ultimatum another acct was frozen grin. Fayose made more noise till evidence was published on the pages of news paper, then he kept quite, Metuhmade more noise but coughed out his share of 400million. She and a blind supporter can rant all u want.... The money will be put into TSA
gringrin I asked you questions and was expecting rational answers only to be replied with the same questions gringringrin

Yes, We expect her account to be frozen, money forfeited, and with her unfairly apprehended and incarcerated with axiomatic and distorted corroborations because such irrational actions and decision are only made under the tenor of the certificateless tyrant gringrin . And it is a pity that he hired such people like him to vindicate him from his flagrant inordinateness grincheesygrin.

Please reason clearly. First this is a country where no one is known. I'm quite sure that Nigeria does not know you. So when there are suspicious transactions(Situations where such amounts have not been hitting your account) obviously they will come for you. Go to USA, UK.. accounts are being monitored and if money hits your account erractically you will be invited for questioning or probably a secret investigation commenses on you.

This is a volatile country

Irrespective of the political hulabalo surrounding the agency, kindly allow them to function.
Also apologize for callingg that guy silly.
I think you should go through the thread and read my quondam replies to your kind.

And note that I didn't call him silly, I only referred to his comment as one.

And after the friend was picked up and questioned was he released and allowed to go his way?

The EFCC has it in their statutes to question transactions above a certain amount. So what's so wrong there?
was he supposed to be picked in the first place?? so efcc cannot do underground work like in other countries??

What dry are you talking about?? how gullible to accede to the deceptive assertions of the govt that Nigeria is broke. For your information: Buhari’s 1 Year + In Office.

Buhari was handed over:
– $30billion in our Foreign Reserves,
– $2.5billion Sovereign Wealth Fund,
– $1.4billion in the ECA,
– $4.65b back taxes from NLNG.
– Buhari met an approved budget of N4.5trillion

Buhari received within a year:
– $2.7billion collected by Inland Revenue in his first 8 months.
– $2.1billion world bank loan.
– $850million Grants from UK, USA and Europe.
– 1.5trn saved from fuel subsidy removal
– Excluding crude oil sales, Joint Venture profits, Royalties, Income from Customs, NIMMSA, NPA, NACHO ……
– 3trilion on STA
not to include the “recovered” looted funds.

More than a year has passed:
1] Not a kilometer of road constructed,
2] Not a watt of Electricity generated,
3] Not a Ward added to any Hospital in Nigeria.
4] Not a job space created, except the CBN job he shared with his cronies.
5] Not a grain of corn or tomato seed was provided to farmers. [Fertilizer subsidy taken away and handed back to ex-military men] 6] 41 foreign companies mostly in service industry have left Nigeria
7] 4.3 Million jobs lost in 10months – National Bureau of Statistics.
8] Food scarcity last experienced in Nigeria between 1983 to 1985 returned back.
9] War on Corruption turned into war against his perceived enemies. Convictions by EFCC were cases meticulously started by previous govt(s). Buhari wins cases only on the pages of Newspapers.
10] Nigeria dropped from No.1 Investment destination in Africa to No.27 before South Sudan.
11] African Biggest economy shrink from a GDP of about 7% to -0.36%, the fastest decline in the world since record began.
12] No.3 fastest growing economy in the world to No.83 in 365days.

And I wonder why the president keeps giving the impression that the country is broke. The problem is not lack of funds, but lack of qualified individuals in the govt.

Buhari is just a failure. Nigerians enjoy your change

well, let us be aware Nigeria is going through a cleansing process. for now fraudulent investors are not allowed in... Genuine investors Will still find Nigeria as a good investment ground. Mind You, no real investor wants to invest in a country that her Government supports Corrupt practices.
these whole process will yield good dividends in the near future.
I BELIEVE IN CHANGE!
Is there any genuine investyor in the world, all a bussiness aim to do is to make profit, they dont care about morality,like he said money is a coward, and the way money will find a "safe"country whether it is good or bad

Jonathan was handed over :
Over $40b external reserve
$3b debt
sold crude oil over $100per barrel

YET He left
$64b debt for Buhari
$30b external reserve

oya do the mathematics

Stop lying there.....
Jonathan did not borrow $61b in five years....
why do you people like lying like this....

Jonathan saw the clear fraud in the subsidy thing and decided to get rid of it, but idiot Nigerians with their cronies threatened fire and brimstone and now you known the result.
Under Jonathan, the wage bill ballooned, and NYSC payments increased by more than 100 %


Do you think if OBJ that you hail was paying 18k minimum wage and 19800 for corpers, he would have left Any thing at all?

You people just hate this man, that's your problem..

Unfortunately it's not that easy. The anti-graft war the way it is now will kill Nigeria. No nation deserve this kind of financial war against her citizens. Buhari is living in the past.
