From what you have stated, then diezanni isn't the only guilty Nigerian. Most of our ex presidents have 'laundered' money same goes to most Nigerian past and present governors, senators ministers, head of corporations etc. So why is diezanni's case different. I am not justifying though just asking

Because PMB said he would only occupy himself with probing the immediate government (that handed over to him) at the federal level. State governments to deal with their own stuff...

Y

I am not supporting her in anyway, am just wondering whose money she laundered. Is it not Nigeria? So how come UK has jurisdiction over a case that ought to be handled in abuja...please no insults oo

One of her major offences is that she flew or ferried or by any means transported cash into the UK. The said cash was not declared as such at the point of entry. That is illegal. It is laundering.

She fraudulent brot in cash in excess of what is legally allowed into that territory. That also is laundering.

Business people are permitted to wire or transfer needed cash through banks or financial institutions licenced to do so. But this is flaunted in her case.

She made huge deposits into banks. This is suspicious as she has no business yielding such turnover in the UK. That is fraudulent....

tobimillar:
This is a shame on Nigeria.. pls lawyers in the house, I dont understand how UK can prosecute diezanni for an offence she committed in Nigeria and against Nigerian Government.

With all the lawyers and judges we have, how come we can't successfully prosecute one just ONE corrupt politician and have him/her return the loot to FG

If any of the funds of corruption is found in any UK banks, she can be arrested and tried in the UK

It looked very pretty as a flower vase but deadly as a bomb device.

Thank God she didn't drop that carelessly, it would have exploded and one ISIS commander would claim responsibility. Mtshwww...

Mum used unexploded bomb as a vase for 30 years without realising it was still live

A woman was shocked to discover a wartime shell she had used as a vase for 30 years was still live.
Kathryn Rawlins, 45, had found the shell buried in the playing fields at her school when she was 15.
Assuming that it safe, and thinking it would make a nice vase, she had kept it filled with her favourite flowers for more than three decades until she saw a TV documentary and realised she may have actually been sitting feet from an unexploded bomb.

After calling the police, MoD experts were brought in to take away the vase and safely remove the explosive - before returning the casing to her.
Warks, said: “The police said the shell had the potential to have killed anybody within about 20 metres of it and could have taken the house down.
“It’s funny to think that I had it on my mantelpiece the entire time - it’s just become a part of my family now.
“I have had the shell on the mantelpiece for three decades now and even took it to university. I used to stick plastic roses out of the top of it when I was dancing around to Madonna.
“Luckily my husband Chris just thought it was funny.”

Kathryn said: “I made the strangest call to the police non-emergency hotline. I started off the conversation by telling them not to panic and attempted to describe the shell that I had.
“I told them it was 12 inches in length and three inches across at its base. The top of it has a conical tip, which can be unscrewed.
“I used to unscrew it and put the flowers out of the top.
“It’s really heavy to hold and has some writing that looks like it could be German around the top.”
“In the end I just sent them a photo of the shell I’d been using as a vase. After the police saw that, they had an officer at my house within the hour.
“The situation then became very serious after the police told me that they would have to take the shell to the local barracks as the Ministry of Defence needed to examine it.
“It was a little bit worrying.
“The police brought it back to me when they assured me the shell had been made safe though, so I’ll carry on using it for my flowers.
“I took it into school to show the kids - they loved it.”

@op, people collect certificate of attendance oh, you better know your own. There are people that couldn't make it, I mean clear their spill-over till their time elapsed. Those are offered certificate of attendance.

I'm not talking about third class or pass, but certificate of attendance.

Can you employ some that can even get a pass grade out of school? Can you?

She mistakenly wrote qualification where she meant to write hobby.

Attending seminar, man o war etc as detailed on that piece of CV are shallow and can't land her any job.

If temitemi needs a new role model, this is one!

The Lords chosen is my church and there is no scam. This woman is healing is a small thing to wat i see happening there daily. I am a practical example of GOD's work there. Its a place where i have witnessed the pratical replication of the bible. Not stories.
its very simple, if u are still in doubt make out a period and attend services there l. Its at IJESHA BUSTOP oshodi apapa expressway.I gurantee you that you won't just hear but you would be a direct beneficiary of God.

Tell me your own testimony, bros.

Once I was blind, but now I can see. That is a testimony. People around should know the beneficiary before and after the 'miracle', not some random dude without trace...

I believe in miracles. Real miracles

Be careful what pictures you photoshop

Much as that device looks promising on her ...

Let Fayose lead your struggle of emancipation of Biafra. We donate him to you.

Which airline would fly into Ado-Ekiti #NoBeefing..

Hope some people are not looking for cheap publicity for that congregation.

How can those that would attest to the initial conditions be inexisting all of a sudden.

For me believe this is a miracle and not a scam, let the couple manufacture the doctor report and photographic evidences... Otherwise, Another scam is here!

This Adetola or Akintola or whatever is shortsighted.

He should have written this letter in Arabic Ajamin or be speaking in that language.

If he has insisted that Nigerian languages be more pronounced on the note, that would be understandable but saying 'domination by elimination' is insufficient. He really meant 'domination by imposition' cos that's what that he is suggesting.

We didn't vote Buhari to impose Islamic tendencies on Nigeria. We have a secular country, and it should remain so...

In fact, most states in our country can't survive without handouts.

Some states just deserve to be scrapped.

Temitemi's Role Model can't feed his people. He can't help his people make money legitimately.
