REPORT OF MY INVESTIGATION INTO AN ALLEGATION OF CORRUPTION AND PUBLIC DECEIT IN THE CONDITIONAL CASH TRANSFER PROGRAM.

Earlier today, 13th April 2020, a respected member of this forum made a sensational allegation that the picture of his late Aunt from Anambra who died in December 2018 was being shared by Officials of the Conditional Cash Transfer as one of those who benefited from the disbursement of N20,000 CCT in Anambra state last week.

Considering the seriousness and sensitivity of the allegation, I launched an investigation into the matter. I promised that I will to get to the root of the matter and I have done so and I now report back to us.

First I requested the forumite to send me the picture he was referring to which he did.

Next, I went to the @HUPcct Twitter handle and confirmed that indeed that picture was there but contrary to the claim by the forumite that it was used for Anambra state, the picture was put as one of the beneficiaries from Aboh Mbaise in Imo state.

It is worthy of mention here that the same picture of the same woman has been used by certain blog sites alleging that the beneficiary (the same woman) said that after their pictures were taken with the N20,000, it was taken from them and they were given N2,000 instead.

Armed with those information and screenshots, I escalated the matter and forwarded all the materials gathered to the HUPcct through Mr Henry Ayade an official of the program. In fact he handles their official Twitter handle and uploaded the said picture(s) himself.

I had earlier explained to the forumite that the Twitter handle only uploads information sent by the state Coordinators of the program.

Mr Ayade promptly got back to me after confronting the Imo State Coordinator of the Program, Mr Joseph Odoemena with the sensational and serious allegation(s).
He said the Coordinator affirmed without prevarication that the picture was taken on Saturday at Aboh Mbaise, Imo state and that he personally forwarded it to the headquarters.

He further said he would send me the coordinator's number which he did. I called the Coordinator and presented the allegations.
He told me unequivocally that there was no mistake. That the picture in question was taken on Saturday at Aboh Mbaise, that the woman in the picture was from Aboh Mbaise and couldn't have been dead as she was one of those who received money on Saturday.

I also asked him about the allegations by some blogs (although not credible sites) that the same woman said the N20,000 was taken away from them after snapping pictures with it and they were given N2,000 instead. He said that was a wicked lie.

The Imo state Coordinator then offered to go to Aboh Mbaise to trace the woman in the picture and if and when he finds her, he will take pictures and even interview her on video. I agreed.

He went to Aboh Mbaise and indeed saw the same woman in the picture and actually did a video which he has sent to me. There is also an interview with the woman's son.

I want us to carefully watch the videos as attached and compare with the picture of the woman.

The videos are in Igbo. Therefore for the benefit of those who do not understand Igbo, I have transcribed the two videos below.

#VideoOne
WITH THE WOMAN.

Q. Where are you from?

Woman: I'm from Umuodaa in Ahiaato Aboh Mbaise.

Q: On this day, you are talking like someone who is alive. Is that correct?

Woman: Yes!! Yes!!!

Q: .. because they said you were dead .... but you are not dead. God will keep you alive in Jesus' name.

Woman: Amen!!

Q: When did you people receive that money?

Woman: It was on Saturday afternoon.

Q: How much were you given?

Woman: Twenty Thousand.

Q: Did anyone collect money from you after you were given the money?

Answer: No!!! No body!!
They gave me, I looked for a "cyclist" because I couldn't go to Afor Enyiogwugwu (market). I'm not strong. I returned to Umuwoko, Umuodaa in Ahiaato.

Q: God bless you.

Woman: Amen oo.

Q: Tell the entire world that you are alive.

Woman: The entire world, I'm alive oo. God (crying).

Q: Thank you.

#Video2
THE WOMAN'S SON:

"This is Mrs Cordelia Linus Ewurum from Umulogho, Umuodaa, Nguru, Aboh Mbaise LGA.

She's alive and healthy.

Last Saturday, she went to Choko, Umunze and collected her token, N20,000 as was given to others.

There was no problem and nobody objected that she is answering her own name or any other thing.

But all I know is she's alive and she collected the money on behalf of herself.

Thank you."

#Conclusion
From the foregoing and the videos and pictures, it is very clear, without any iota of doubt that the woman in the video is the same woman in the picture the forumite said was the picture of his late Aunt who died in December 2018.

She is from Aboh Mbaise in Imo state. She is alive and collected her N20,000 CCT money herself and the picture posted by the HUPcct and shared by many of us is correct and not a photoshop as alleged.

Also the allegation by some faceless blogs that she said they were given N2,000 after taking pictures with N20,000 is untrue and #FakeNews.

I will urge us all to always make effort to verify every information we receive and to be very sure of our facts before making any allegations.

I want to sincerely thank all of us and especially Mr Henry Ayade of HUPcct Abuja and Mr Joseph Odoemena, the Imo state Coordinator of HUPcct.

They are shining examples of what a public servant should be - diligent, upright, accountable, dedicated and swift in action.

Thank you all.

Cry cry Obaseki . If it's not safe to conduct a direct primary because of Covid 19, one can then make a conclusion ,it's not safe as Well to conduct the gubernatorial election. The president can as well declare sole administrator after Obaseki tenures expires

Emotional blinded set of fellows

Amarabae:
Oriaku Amarachi speaks:

My grandfather used to say that the snake is the longest surviving animal specie ,not because it is the strongest of all but it is the wisest,
which means that wisdom is superior to strength alone,
I used this proverbial phrase to bring to notice of my Igbo brethrens, Umunnem of the necessity of applying wisdom while living in Nigeria(at least for now)
I have carefully studied the tactics of these two PDP spokesmen in Using Igbos as shield while attacking buhari and the north,
All of a sudden, FFK and reno omokri are fighters of Igbo interest, something they couldn't do while in corridors of power,
they can deceive emotionally fragile Igbos, not intelligent nwaafo like Oriaku, Acharaugo diya 1 of Alaigbo,
I know their tricks,
Does Fani Kayode think that we have forgotten the famous Igbo phobic article he wrote while he was in corridors of power?
An article that poured a hateful tantrum on Igbos, called us unprintable names and insulted our ancestors who died in the war,
many Igbo scholars took him to the cleaners with powerful rebuttal,
all of a sudden, such a man is seen as a darling by some Igbo youths just because he demonises buhari and fulanis, or because he has an Igbo wife,
Ndigbo let us use our sense, Let us stop being tossed around like chaffs by these opportunists, Be wise.
.
Reno Omokri on the other hand is another cunny character ,I can never forget one famous post he made in late 2015 blasting and ridiculing ndigbo,
now knowing how emotionally fragile many Ipobs are, he has pressed their controlling button by always "writing about Igbos"
Oga Omokri, don't you have an ethnic group, I assumed from my findings that he is either an Isoko or Itsekiri in Delta state,
you will never see him talk about the welfare of his tribe, always setting Igbos up against other tribes in a cunny way,
Look beyond the "praises" it is a poisoned chalice,
Yes Igbos are rich oga Omokri, we don't need you to tell us,
yorubas ,Fulanis , Hausas etc have super rich men too.
Igbos are hardworking and industrious so as other ethnic group, you will see hardworking people there too.
Igbos are bla bla bla bla
Reno Omokri let us be and start praising your own tribe,
I and many Igbos can't fall for your tricks, take it to Ipob page.
Ndigbo let's use our senses.
I am sure we have not forgotten the kemi olunloyo drama, she posted about Abba kyari death you ipobs rejoiced, she posted about nnamdi kanu's death, you guys starting foaming in the mouth on her page,
why are we tossed around emotionally like light feathers, what happened to our psyche?
We can't continue to be used as Sacrificial lamb in Nigeria all the time,
I dont know why they always rob in Igbos whenever they want to attack buhari or the north.
We have bled enough, let's avoid these two toxic men,
they don't like Igbos , Don't be deceived by write-ups,
put them in corridor of power again, you will see their true colour.
Oriaku loves you all
Daalu nu

Ojiofor:
Amarabea kindly take your own advise and leave Ndigbo alone,you can't claim to be Igbo from SS and in the other hand swear that there are no Igbo or Igboland beyond SE.Leave us alone we can fight our battles.You are fake Oriaku,even if you are,you are just one out millions of Oriakus and Btw,we are now in the age of OdoziAKU,You need to upgrade.
