The Man That Looted Our Country by jerusalem101: 5:20pm On Sep 04, 2013
Man who is a desperate, determined and dogged man with his footprints in all the wrong places, even in the United States of America where he has been funneling ill-gotten and stolen funds in the tens of millions of dollars largely through wire transfers. This Man should be dreaded by every Nigerians, he was involved in Malabu oil deal that rock the country, after failure to sell NITEL to himself he decided to use his office then to impose pentasope management contract, a group that squandered and kill Nitel.
The man is loaded with deals and corruption. As a Nigerian Customs Service officer, he left behind an unenviable record, one he wishes will go away, but rather has followed him and haunted him. He is said to worth over $2 billion with most of the money hidden away in the Cayman Island, Switzerland, the United Arab Emirates where one of his wife is now located. Now opening another bank account becomes difficult to open new bank accounts because of his excessive loot. The Man was also placed by the United States government on the list of Specially Designated Nationals (The OFAC SDN), a list made up of corrupt politicians, terrorist financiers, mafia lords and similar miscreants around the world.
The Man sources of funds are dubious and crooked. His hands are far from clean and he has absolutely nothing to offer the Nigerian people beside taking another shot at the national treasury and looting it.The only reasonable education Atiku earned was a diploma in law from Ahmadu Bello University! He rose to the rank of Deputy Director of Customs largely on the back of his Northern heritage and background which is indicative of the fact that it is not just corruption that is at the heart of the Nigerian problem and poor leadership, poor education or the lack of it has also been a major factor.
Over a period of eight years his associate and wife have opened various accounts at different banks in Maryland for the purpose of receiving and helping to launder funds. The accounts opened included several personal accounts at Citibank, Chevy Chase Bank, Wachovia Bank, Eagle Bank, and Suntrust Bank, credit card accounts, brokerage accounts (with Citibanks's Smith Barney affiliate), home equity account, Gede Foundation accounts, AUN (ABTI American University in Nigeria) account, and safe deposit boxes. The three (3) Siemens wire transfers were paid into one of those account #52096374 on 4/12/2001 ($450,703.79), 10/01/2001 ($461,440.92) and on 1/28/2002 ($860,500), for a total of $1,772,644.71. Additional $2 million kickback payments were also confirmed to have been made to this man over a three year period from 2000 to 2003. while several other wire transfers to associate account #52096374 at Citibank from LetsGo accounts at Wegelin & Co and Banca Del Gottardo between 2003 and 2006 came to a total of $7,424,620. From Guernsey Trust Company account at Wegelin & Co was a total of $3,049,940 between 2006 and 2007. Additional wire transfers from LetsGo Ltd to another of his associate account #1209739556 between 2005 and 2007 came to $5,550,000. The wire transfers were endless and kept flowing for years while he was Vice President of Nigeria. The receiver meanwhile remained jobless and a student and was the receiver of treasures and stolen funds, but the banks caught up with them and one by one the banks closed the accounts.The wife was the robust pipe and willing tool, a messenger sent to the United States of America primarily to open accounts, receive funds, reroute funds, transfer funds and recycle funds for various personal and family needs of her husband. Though, she is still well taken of; her home a $2 million house in the choice area of Potomac, Washington, D.C., It was clear the main purpose of the over thirty (30) accounts the Man opened was to receive fraudulent payments and to launder suspect funds.
Such a Man cannot rule our nation Nigeria cause the only thing he can offer is financial doom, every discerning Nigerians should careful of this Man. He is no other person than Atiku Abubakar..

10 Reasons Why Mr. President Should Sack The Minister Of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke
By Comrade Timi Frank

Sir : Mr. President,

Find below 10 reasons why the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, should be relieved of her appointment:

1. The inability to explain how N1.7 trillion was allegedly paid to oil marketers for bogus fuel subsidy claims in 2012.

2. The indictment of departments under her by several panels, i.e. Nuhu Ribadu, Farouk Lawan, Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede and the Nigerian Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (NEITI) reports.

3. The alleged transfer of the ownership of four oil mining licenses (OML), 30, 34, 26 and 42, to Atlantic Energy Drilling Concept, according to the Delta Producing Communities in a petition to the Senate.

4. The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation's (NNPC) alleged failure to remit $4.84 billion, about N726 billion, to the Federation Account between 2009 to 2011.

5. The secrecy surrounding the illegal NNPC account with JP Morgan.

6. Illegal subsidy deductions by the NNPC under her watch. The Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), at a presentation before the House of Representatives, disclosed that, “by the Appropriation Act 2011, the NNPC is to be paid N81.720 billion from January-September 2011. However, the NNPC deducted N615.670 billion, which shows a difference of over N533.950 billion.
“Similarly, the PPPRA marketers’ subsidy provides N102.753 billion as Appropriation for subsidy in the 2011 budget for the period January-September 2011 but by September 2011, the PPPRA (Marketers’ subsidy) has been paid N647,660 billion, which shows a difference of over N544.907 billion."

7. Refusal by NNPC to remit taxes running into billions of Naira into the Federation Account according to the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).

8. The loss of $1billion (N155 billion) revenue monthly by the Federal Government to oil theft due to inefficiency in Ministry of Petroleum Resources according to the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.

9. The alleged use of N2billion for private jets notwithstanding that the NNPC maintains a Challenger 850 Visa Jet which is supposed to serve the minister who is its Board Chairman. The cost of running the jet is put at $500,000 per month. This allegation is contained a petition submitted to the EFCC by Enugu-based “Crusader For Good Governance.”

10. Failure to avail Nigerians of any explanation on the discoveries contained in the NEITI report which covers from 2009 to 2011.
Mr. President, recall that the ex-Youth Development Minister, Alhaji Inuwa Abdulkadir was sacked for allegedly 'mismanaging' the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN) elections. Also ex-Power Minister, Prof. Barth Nnaji was 'forced' to resign over alleged crisis of confidence.

Above all, most marketers that were indicted in the fuel subsidy scam are currently being prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). What about those who who approved and paid the phony subsidy claims?

Mr. President, are all these allegations not enough for Diezani to resign honourably or be sacked by you? Or is the 'principle of 16 is greater than 19' also applicable here? We leave the answer to Nigerians!
Finally, Mr. President, I want to use this opportunity to appeal to you, on behalf of myself and the people of the Niger Delta and Nigerians at large, to please relieve Diezani Alison-Madueke of her job because the voice of the people is the voice of God. Please, Mr President, listen to the voice of the people as she does not represent the collective interest of the Bayelsa people as evident in her representation of the state in the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meetings.

Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria!!

Signed:
Comrade Timi Frank

To: HIS EXCELLENCY,
DR. GOODLUCK EBELE AZIKIWE JONATHAN,
PRESIDENT AND COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE ARMED FORCES,
FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA,
ASO ROCK VILLA,
ABUJA.
