Corruption: 55 People Stole $6.2bn – Lai Mohammed by mackay37(m): 7:02am On Oct 08, 2017
•Buhari’s adviser asks Patience Jonathan to come clean

Information and Culture Minister Lai Mohammed says 55 people may have stolen about $6.2 billion public funds from the country.

He gave no names of the culprits, listing only projects which government could have executed with a third of the funds, if recovered.

Mohammed spoke on an Al Jazeera as part of a feature on the vast properties acquired in the UK with stolen funds by Nigerians.



According to the minister, $2.06billion of the alleged stolen funds would have built 600 kilometres of roads, 37 hospitals, 20,000 housing units and trained 4000 kids from primary to university level.

The corruption problem was also the subject of discussion on the Facebook wall of President Muhammadu Buhari’s Special Assistant on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie yesterday.

Onochie aimed darts at former First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan and ex-Petroleum Affairs Minister Diezani Alison-Madueke for what she called their weird demands.

Her words: “It’s the season of weird demands. Recently, Nigerians were assaulted by the demand by the wife of the former President Goodluck Jonathan, Patience Jonathan, asking President Muhammadu Buhari to “Tell EFCC to leave her alone.”

“Fat chance! EFCC is an institution, not an adulterous man running after someone else’s wife. “So, woman to woman, I asked her to look inwards. Patience should wear the sort of aura that dispels, rather than attracts law enforcement agencies.

“She can start by being honest and coming clean, regarding everything – cash, properties, etc., that were ill-acquired. Then hand them back to the rightful owners. Yes, back to Nigerians via the EFCC.



“You see, EFCC, ICPC, DSS, CCT, all follow the smell of crimes. If she does not have suspicions of criminal activities oozing and buzzing from and around her, there’s no way she’ll be dragging President Buhari to commit impunity by ordering EFCC to leave you alone.

“But there again, she’s been busy swatting the bees, she had no time to see that her husband’s reign of impunity, ended many moons ago.

“But that’s not the end of the story. And then, there’s Diezani Alison- Madueke.

“She too, wants something. She wants to return home. Remember she’s in the UK for medical purposes. Remember the photoshopped images her image launderer plastered all over the tabloid and the Social Media?

“Diezani is over 18 years old. That makes her an adult. She dusted her passport and flew out of this country, Nigeria.

“She had concluded plans to run off to a Caribbean Island to live off the blood money she stole, not hauled from the poorest and the most vulnerable citizens of this nation.

“She had no idea that she had become attractive to the British authorities, and had been in their view since 2013.

” You see, these women, who own choice properties and obese bank accounts they do not need, across the world including Nigeria, had the best of opportunities to improve the lives of Nigerians, especially those who suffer health hazards from environmental degradation in the bowels of the Niger Delta where these two come from.

“If they cared not about their immediate environment, why would they bat an eyelid that environmental issues in the Lake Chad Basin were fuelling Boko Haram.

“The adage that what a man can do a woman can do better, has never been proven more by anyone than Diezani Madueke.

“The forfeitures the Nigerian people have been awarded against Diezani, the pending and on-going corruption investigations and cases, are a testimony that this woman, who was elevated to the status of a goddess by ex-President Jonathan, has cases to answer, from UK to USA, Italy to the Caribbean.

“Why Mrs Madueke suddenly developed an urge to return home, is not clear. But many Nigerians think it’s not unconnected to the perceived cash and carry criminal justice system in Nigeria.

“But she’s probably not aware that the Chief Justice of the Federation, Justice Onnoghen, has vowed to clean up the judiciary.

“But there might be those judges who would be tempted by the mouth watering inducement that flows from the bottomless pit of Diezani Madueke’s haulage.

“May I remind Mrs. Madueke that a certain (Rtd) Admiral Alison-Madueke, warned President Muhammadu Buhari to leave his wife alone. May I also remind Diezani that Nigerians assume that she is that wife that the retired naval officer warned the President about.

“Now that she has been left alone, if she needs to return to Nigeria, she will also need her husband to threaten President Buhari to come after her, Hahahahaha…

“Dear Sis, in the meantime, you should make yourself comfortable in the UK. Attend to your criminal trials going on there. When found guilty, happily serve your jail term because it’s just the beginning.

“Then when you are done, repeat the same process in America and then in Italy. If you are still alive by then, you should then be retired to Nigeria, to begin the same process that will ultimately lead you to your retirement home. You have a choice between Kirikiri and Kuje, among other prisons. Till then, it’s Goodbye Diezani. You aren’t coming home soon!”

No one said it's missing. Kachikwu never said that. He only said contracts amounting to that were awarded without consulting him.

Wike et al are just trying to gain some cheap political traction by muddling facts up.

We all understand the major way how money leaves the state's accounts, only to end up in the politicians' pocket/account. Not really by withdrawing the funds, but through illicit contracts awarded to their croons and goons and kick backs from the contractors.

Acting on the content of the letter would have been the most precious thing to do, and wash clean the government. Instead of inviting the writer of the letter for a brief private meeting, which no one knows what they discussed, either Kachikwu was pacified or intimidated to shut up cheesy

@the bolded, that's not the truth. contract worth $26bn was awarded without consulting him and nothing to show for that contract.

This is how APC came to power
Through slander and propaganda
But unfortunately.... They still think they are in the opposition till date...
Same lame excuses.... No fulfilment of any campaign promises... Insecurity... Hunger... Unemployment... Detoriating health and educational sectors everywhere..

It's been more than two years in office
Same old story... They stole this and that
Who is preventing them to be prosecuted and jailed...
All this media hogwash is directed at the zombies who are as gullible as they come... Just to give them something to chew on as time passes

incorrect! 26Bn dollars was approved by the FEc of which kachikwu is a part of.. his major grievance is, he should have been briefed before reaching the FEC.. But NNPC clause governing contracts doesn't support his claim. #NowUknow

I dont give a damn abt our governments-past or present.


But 2.1b$ dasuki funds was for a contract, an approved contract to buy arms. 25b$ nnpc funds were fpr contracts that didnt even go through the right processes.


Dasuki is even more innocent in this- the utilized funds were approved by the president and all others.

Deziani stole. yes.

mama peace has some explaining to do. agreed.


but what about Buratai - his billion naira abuja mansion & his Dubai homes?

what about Kyari & sahara energy connection & mtn bribe?

what about Fayemi with his petitions with efcc?

what about Amaechi & his petitions with efcc?

what about the $4.2b that got 'missing' within the first 6 months of PMB's administration?

why hasn't babachir Lawal been subjected to the efcc treatment of arrest, detentions, media mudslinging, frozen accounts & seized properties?


how come budget padders where moved from budget office to cash office? is that a reward for budget padding?


why hasn't OBJ been probed over the $16b NIPP funds?


anyway, its because they still have a lot of gullible supporters to defend them which is why they can run their mouths...

Sure, I will get it.

How do I get the specifications of this watch?

I mean, the exact specifications, so that I don't end up with something else.

But not in two weeks oh! Planing to land Nov ending.

However, I have searched for Porsch design wristwatch, this is the only thing I have seen close to that and from the price, I could infer is not an acceptable alternative ~ too cheap (my guess though).

So I need exact specification.
