afam4eva:

They're requesting for one billyon and you're saying they should pay it. I guess they want to become byllonares. Btw, i've sent this link to the SSS.

ARES: Ok on a very serious note, this write up is one big fat lie.

afam4eva: Isn't that the budget of some countries? The kidnappers are very stup1d. How do they intend to manage that amount without being caught. Where will they put it?

truth4meal: The Kidnappers that Abducted 82 Years Old Mother Of Finance Minister Prof. Kanene Okonjo at their family home in Ogwashi uku, Delta state, are demanding for a whopping $1 billion ransom.
Majesty, Professor Chukwuka Aninshi Okonjo Agbogidi, the reigning Obi of Ogwashi-Uku kingdom was kidnapped Sunday at about 1:30 pm from the husband’s palace at Ogbe-Ofu quarters in Ogwahi-Uku by eight gunmen who stormed the palace in two Audi cars.

The demand for a $1billion ransom according to source was relayed to the family of the woman this morning.

Its yet to be seen how the family will react to this development, but in a statement made available to elombah.com yesterday, the minister's spokesman Paul Nwabuikwu said; "at this point, it is difficult to say whether those behind this action are the same people who have made threats against the Coordinating Minister in the recent past or other elements with hostile motives. No possibility can be ruled out at this point."

Meanwhile Umu Anioma Foundation Worldwide has demanded the immediate release Of Dr. Okonjo Iweala's Mother. In a statement made available to elombah.com and signed by Prince Charles Anyasi, the National Coordinator / Spokesman, the group said:

"Once again, the image smear on Delta State has been brought to the fore with the unfortunate kidnapping of the aged mother of Nigeria's energetic Finance Minister, Dr. (Mrs.) Ngozi Okonjo Iweala from her home in Ogwashi-Uku a few hours ago. A few months ago, it was the turn of another prominent Anioma family to sweat in search of their mother who was abducted in her farm.

"Nothing can be hurting as the current worldview of Delta State encapsulated in BBC's report of the unwholesome development, stating inter alia: Nigeria is one of the worst countries in the world for kidnapping, where it is a lucrative criminal enterprise worth millions of dollars a year.

"The crime is particularly prevalent in the oil-rich Delta State, although high-profile victims are uncommon.

"The question is; how did we get here? Whether this latest heinous act was orchestrated as a payback for the Finance Minister's principled stand on the current Oil Subsidy imbroglio or as a message to scare innocent indigenes making preparations to be with their kit and kin in this festive season, the perpetrators had better get it clear that, as Daniel Defoe would say, Justice is always violent to the party offending. Yes, the offenders may not feel the violence now, but, before long, they certainly will.

"Umu Anioma Foundation Worldwide wishes to state categorically that a situation where citizens toiling diligently for the society's positive turnaround are being punished by satanic elements can no longer be condoned. We demand the immediate and unconditional release of this old woman.

"As thousands of people get into celebration mood, many travelling to their respective home lands, we call on the security agents to beef up action and assure the public of safety.

"The time to act is now!"

More soon

ARES: Ok on a very serious note, this write up is one big fat lie. I just got off the phone with someone close to the family. The kidnappers have not even made contact. Fuccking nairaland. And I was busy arguing with people. Stupid mods

shymexx:

Do you understand what human survival instinct is? Everything is fair play in war of attrition, however, this a war between the thieving elites and the thieves monsters they created... I bet the woman wasn't cowardly when she was looting with the other thieves, no?? She didn't care about other old men and women who died and have been dying because of poverty and some of the policies she championed in this government - so, why should the other thieves care about their victim's age??

It's a battle between greedy thieves - don't take sides!

dammytosh: Let the negotiations begin........ Let the negotiations begin........

Those kidnappers Foolish....dem For demand 10000 Million

ANY-PEN :



were you sleeping when boys were demanding for good governance abi you no dey this country ni? this is time to demand for bigger things and i think $1b is a good start!

dayokajamesphilip203@yahoo.comnu:
If dem give them $1bn, How dem wan take count am finish?

dayokanu: If dem give them $1bn, How dem wan take count am finish?

J12: Although, the ransom demands are outrageously funny(even Ngozi will laugh at them), I see no reason for the unalloyed hatred being shown towards Okonjo and her family. This modest woman has worked hard all her life to attain her current social, political and academic status.

onyxo76: Ok let's assume 1 GMG will contain 1 million dollars , to carry 1 billion you will need 1000 GMG bags. Now a man carries 2 GMG bags, you will need 500 men to move the whole one billion dollars. My verdict- these guys are bloddy mofos to have demanded such an amount.

Omen100: this is what i am thinking, lets assume kidnapping as business has taken a new dimension, whereby they are now linking to a foreign terrorist organization, whereby they don't deal with physical cash but wired transfer, those types of transfer that can never be trace once the transactions in completed. Who among us here still remember Swordfish? which feature John Travogter & Hallen Berry?
