Frankenstein: Why are they withholding the names of the sponsors.
From the Aussie's Intel, there's no way the SSS won't be aware of this CBN sponsor since his nephews were arrested months ago and most definitely questioned.

Is this a propaganda or doesn't the DSS have the balls to apprehend this 'ALMIGHTY' boko haram sponsor?
I just pity those people whose lives have been wasted.I knew everything is political from the onset. Is the SSS not aware of this?

Politics › Australian Negotiator Says CBN Enables Boko Haram Funding by acorntree(op): 12:23pm On Aug 31, 2014
Australian negotiator Dr Stephen Davis
continues making shocking claims now
alleging that Boko Haram pass a large
amount of their finances through the
Central Bank Of Nigeria (CBN).
Dr Stephen Davis
This comes days after the expert, who
had spent 4 months in Nigeria’s North-East
negotiating for the release of Chibok girls
abducted by insurgents on April 14, said some
politicians from the opposition sponsored
Boko Haram.

In an exclusive phone interview with the
Nigerian TheCable, Davis insisted that Boko
Haram commanders told him that a top CBN
official (name not provided by TheCable for
legal reasons) was involved in funding the
insurgency in the country.
When asked by the journalist about where
Boko Haram get the financial support from,
the 63-year-old experienced negotiator said
the source could not be traced because “it is
done through a legal channel, through the
gatekeeper, the CBN, and that makes it very
easy to cover up”.

According to Davis, one of the biggest
suppliers of arms and military uniforms to
Boko Haram lives in Egypt and
receives money sent by political sponsors
from Nigeria. However the legal transaction of
the funds is carried out with the help of the
CBN, Davis added.
He also revealed that the involved official is a
relative of Abuja bombings suspects.
“Meanwhile, the CBN official who handles the
funding is an uncle to three of those arrested
in connection with the Nyanya bombings. The
three boys lived with him. They were arrested
by the SSS (Department of State Security)
after the bombings but they do not seem to
have been interrogated about their uncle in
CBN. Or if they have given up information
about their uncle then the SSS has not moved
against him… Also, a senior official of CBN,
who recently left the bank, was very close to
Sodiq Aminu Ogwuche, the mastermind of the
Nyanya bombings who also schooled in
Sudan. Boko haram commanders said
Ogwuche’s wife used to visit this top official in
his office at the headquarters of the bank in
Abuja before the Nyanya bombings.
Explaining why he decided to finally make the
revelation, Davis said it was because the
Nigerian authorities were slow in handling the
security issues, specifically the kidnap of
Chibok girls. Davis, the father of 3
daughters, said it was “heart-breaking” for
him to think of what the Nigerian school girls
might be experiencing in Boko Haram
captivity.
Davis, who was PhD in political geography,
narrated that he first though that politicians
might be involved in the insurgency, when his
efforts to negotiate on girls release were
sabotaged:
“The political sponsors are very powerful
because they supply the finances and the
arms. Until they are cut off from the group,
those girls will not be released. We are talking
about 200 Chibok schoolgirls, but there are
over 300 other girls that have been
kidnapped. There are many young men that
they also kidnapped and turned them against
their families. They asked them to go and
slaughter their family members and they are
doing it. Nobody is talking about those ones.
They are the new child soldiers.”
The expert several times repeated that the
first thing to do to enable children’s release
was “to stop the bagman who supplies
weapons and military uniforms. We know his
name, location and associates. If the man is
stopped, the slaughterers, the ritual arm of
the group, would be demobilised. The girls can
be released afterwards. This man controls
these ritualists.”
It would be recalled that more than 200 girls
abducted in Chibok on April 14 by Boko
Haram insurgents are still held in captivity.
Foreign analysts from all over the world
provide their expert opinion on who might be
responsible for supporting insurgency in the
country. In one of the recent editorial a
Russian expert spoke about how and why the
Nigerian opposition might benefit from
terrorism

Flexskillz: I knew all these claim by the FG were all lies! Real casualties figure and contacted cases might be far higher.
News I got this morning from some one close to the latest casualty is just scary.
I don't want to say God will help us because we fail to help ourselves where we can. God will judge our wicked leaders.
Smh for this country.
FG cannot be trusted with the figure dish out to the public. The causalties will surely be much more than what they proclaimed. Its only GOD that can help us in this country

2gbasky22: can a graduate of electrical engineering from any of Nigeria university design an electronic system?? Lets say maybe a pocket radio
The problem with our educational system is that we lay too much emphasis on theories rather than practicals. Most of the curriculum being taught still covers outdated topics which are no longer relevant to modern day . Garbage in garbage out.

what people means is indirect job creation, that result from conducive investment atmosphere. This can only be achieved through stable power supply, efficient transport system, quality education not all these rubbish we've now.
Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Why Are Chinese Companies In Nigeria Maltreating Nigerians? by acorntree(m):
toluene12: virtually all factories that produces in this country are owned by lebanese, indians or chinese.
now u dont expect them to come n implement chevron style of salaries or western type of labour laws.
i think we should just adjust to the new fresh air breezing over africa currently, because its going to be here for a very long time.
until we learn to stand n produce by ourselves.
yes. Until we change from consumer to producer of goods and services. No country that is self reliant will allow one dark skinned albino to treat her citizen like this. So my fellow country men the only option for u is to be self employed or get govt work else half albino will continue treating u like poo.

Politics › Why Is Africa Less Technologically Advanced Than European Countries? by acorntree(op): 4:31pm On Jul 29, 2014
Infrastructures was developed in Europe and
western countries throughout the last 300
years, but in Africa this was developed by
colonizing nations merely for the ease of
extracting minerals and that is it. So Britain
and France, Greece and Portugal, Holland and
some other advanced first world countries
came, built what they needed and subsequently
left when they had their fill of diamonds, gold,
platinum, and other precious metals and
stones. When they left and handed over
"independence" to ignorant leaders the arena
was set for corruption and dictatorships to
flourish. Mix poor inexperienced african
leadership and an initially poor infrastructure
and we are left with corrupt countries rife with
war and violent factions. Infrastructures that
are not maintained fails and poverty follows
shortly afterwards. When poverty hits any
nation, life is about survival and not about
technology. Most of Africa is about survival,
and so the struggle for education, basic services
and technological advancement takes a
backseat to issues such as deforestation and
famine, overpopulation and diseases such as
malaria, aids and TB. Life in Africa is a struggle
for most Africans, and although some of it can
be ascribed to slavery, it mostly boils down to
exploitation of Africa's resources by pompous
first world leaders that thought it ok to pitch
up with a flag and some guns and steal all the
valuable commodities, and then leave the
natives to rot in their own ignorance. This is
why Africa is less technologically advanced.
Africans do NOT have a less primitive way of
life, we always had a more primitive way of
life than first world countries and still do.

Gboliwe: whatever is worth doing is worth doing very well.
This your attitude is what many investors put up and have their heavily invested projects toppling down.
There is no shortcut in this.
. Are u saying I must go for apprenticeship b4 I venture into this kind of business. But I can't leave my job for that and secondly I think apprenticeship is meant for young people that are jobless.I know a lot about electronics. Im already into repair but I don't know much about electronics business. And at my age I don't think I can work under one oga that will be sending on errand
Business › Re: Opening An Electronics Store by acorntree(op): 6:08pm On Jul 22, 2014
Gboliwe: first go and understudy a successful electronics dealer. In other words, go an be an apprentice first, that way you will avoid this kind of questions and be able to grow speedily
I can't go for any apprenticeship because I'm already engaged as full time government worker. I just need a side business apart from the normal job.

godwinony: Lol..that's why it is advisable to always meet in a public and open place.
even when you meeting in public you still to be very careful. There was a time I want to sell my BB on olx and a buyer call to meet me. We agreed to meet at a place . when I got there I discovered he came with a bike. He got up from the bike and we started talking, while he was busy checking the phone , one thing I notice about him as I was talking was that he gave eye signal to the other person on the bike. So I've to move closer to bike. I know his motive is to run away with the phone. He gave an excuse that the phone is expensive and he can't buy it again. So both seller and buyer are at risk when making through olx

Benop: Good day pals.

I saw the advert on TV mid last year on the online platform OLX and decided to have a look at it. I got to even download the mobile app on my phone, was interested in buying a car and on opening that section I was amazed on the cheap rates they put the cars for sale.

I got involved with one of the dealers who said he was selling Nigerian Customs auctioned cars.

To cut the story short, I ended up being scamed and many are still being scammed today. embarassed

Is there any hope of recovering the money?

Can these scammers be stopped from ripping the general public?

Do OLX managers know every user of their site and are they aware of this?

I will appreciate your kind responses please!!!
how did u get scammed. Give us detail . Did u pay into the account. Is it custom victor courage with this no 08131569478?
