...sincerely don't care! All I want is a job at a functional medical research institute with my MSc degree. I hope to develop a cure for Schistomiasis which is killing more than 600 million people, predominantly in Sub-Sahara Africa.

I don' t give a damn about all this propaganda. The question is , what have they done with the previously recovered funds ? The FG have to tell us in clear and unambiguous terms, where they have kept these funds ; and what they have also done with the funds ?

These guys make me laugh. They think we are fools. Why going after a dead mans loot, whereas some of the looters (OBJ, Babagida, our Lagos Kingpin etc etc etc etc) we all know are alive and kicking and can tell you where it is. This is a circus, just fooling the masses into thinking they are doing something.

Youngzedd: The Federal Government yesterday announced it was collaborating with the World Bank to recover about 185 million euros transferred to some commercial banks in Liecttenstein in Central Europe by the General Sani Abacha regime through some shell companies.

Speaking on efforts by the government to repatriate the funds which she said would be used to finance rural development projects across the country, Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, said the recovery effort started about 14 years ago under President Olusegun Obasanjo when about $500 million were also repaid by banks in Switzerland.

“We have been pursuing this money in Liechtenstein and this is part of the legacy of the Abacha monies that were taken out of the country. There has been several steps, through a lawyer, who has been working on this case as well as other cases of lost Abacha money. “But the essence is that we identified this money in Liechtenstein, through our lawyer, Mr. Erico Monfrini of Switzerland. He first started under President Obasanjo’s administration and now credit to President Goodluck Jonathan who has been pursuing it in the last few years with the same lawyer.

“The Attorney General of the Federation has also been working on this. In fact, they were working before I joined and the idea is that there has been several legal steps and challenges that have been thrown in Liechtenstein courts against returning this money,” she said.

The minister said the money was sent in through some front companies, some shell companies that were opened up in Liechtenstein and then transferred through those companies into Liechtenstein banks, stressing that the beneficiaries were really General Abacha’s companies.

She stated that at the time the funds were identified nearly 14 years ago, several legal steps were taken to get them back, noting that the companies or their representatives have always thrown legal challenges every step of the way.
She explained that it got to a stage where the courts in Liechtenstein had mitigated and said it should be returned.

However, while this was happening, the companies took the case to the European Court of Human Rights, saying that the Liechtenstein government violated their human rights by allowing the money to be taken away from them.
She stated that taking the case to court meant another two or three years delay, an indication that the country was just employing delay tactics to keep the money since they would be earning interest on it..
Okonjo-Iewala said another obstacle the Liechtenstein government created was to ask us to sign a guarantee that if the European Court of Human Rights fines them for any reason, Nigeria would indemnify them.

[size=18pt]Nigerians need to realise when they are being deceived.

Abacha never actually looted a kobo

PDP goverments since Obasanjo have been deliberately claiming Abacha looted to distract us from their own massive and on-going looting.

Nigerian Youths sould shine their eyes.

Why would Abacha the so called total dictator need to use Shell companies to loot money?

How many of you realise that Abacha refused all world bank loans, this may explain why the corrupt world bank is happy to unfairly discredit and demonise Abacha.
