Picture Of A Rare Breed Of Raccoon Caught In Gods Island In Ibeno, Akwa Ibom

See what my cousin caught in the gods island in Ibeno, Akwa Ibom state … Campeche raccoon
According to him that 7 catch he as caught over here in the gods island Ibeno

If its found to really be a racoon, then its an invasive species, dont allow it escape o. Either take it to a zoo or kill it (not sure if it should be consumed). The fact that your bro caught it in the wild means its able at adapt to our climate and that could have a detrimental effect on our ecosystem.

Am calm now. So back to the matter at hand,how long will these people wait for this road to be fixed. You should also understand that people voted the previous administration out because they needed a better life but as you can see the system is still the same, or even worse.

You just hit the nail on the head!

crossfm:
Hehehe.

Under the watch of our darling daddy,almost all the roads in the south and middlebelt have turned to a death trap.

One Nigeria is indeed a very big ...

The marginalization will reach everybody.

My question to all the supporters of our darling daddy is, what is really working in Nigeria?.

Calm down. The terrible state of the road predates Buhari's administration. I'm aware cos I'm from the Area. However, its disgusting to think Govt still hasn't thought of fixing the road despite it being such an important route.

I used to be really suprised that Nigerians were willing to believe these kinds of blatant falsehoods, even if it desperately begs simple logic.
However, one can understand given the kind of sufferings the people have and are still going through and resultant lack of trust in the government and process of governance.
You cant blame my people. Its really sad..

Jerryherd:
Standard and quality of education in University of Ibadan is very high

They have almost everything a serious student needs to excel... Library, serene environment, cheap hostels, subsidised quality food, cheap subsidised campus cabs

So underappreciated. No one seems to ask how UI has been able to maintain quality regardless of the general decadence of public institutions nationwide.
UI's method should be adopted and replicated in all Nigerian schools.

Good news, may God grant our leaders in all level of government the wisdom and grace to use our God given resources to upgrade Nigeria to the first world ,I hate traveling abroad ,the discrimination of racists in Europe is a turn off for me,I have prayed to God to bless Me more and more in southeast ...Stop hating on your country and leaders ,do your best to improve your life in a legal hustle ..negative mindset will always retard both your spiritual growth in wisdom of God and even material growth ..be positive about yourself and your country and see yourself prospering ...though the increase is due to inflation but what if those in charge stole the money like PDP were doing ,we wouldn't have seen it ,so it is good news to me

Lol, the trouble with xtians is no one knows who u actually worship among God, Jesus or the Holy ghost. Unless u sort that confusion, justice cant be done to the Leviticus verse. Focus on sorting the confusion of 1+1+1=1 first!

How many executions and burnings are traceable to that verse in today's society? Now, compare it with the no. of same in r religion and reach r conclusions. The truth is that the old testament had a similar tone of violence like the Quran but Christianity had the privilege of the new testaments while the Quran unfortunately retained its not so pleasant core. Its what it is.

Save a bro abeg. I recently updated my android OS from 10 to 11 (one ui 3.1). I downloaded FIFA 2021 today for weekend enjoyment. Now, while I successfully moved the obb file into its designated folder, I have been unable to move the data file into the data folder on my phone.Checked online and discovered that google has blocked access to data folder for android 11. Who else has experienced this problem and how did you solve it? I'll appreciate any solid response. Thanks.

The 2021 QS World University Rankings by Subject has named the University of Ibadan (UI) among the top varsities for the study of two courses globally.

On Wednesday, QS Quacquarelli Symonds, global higher education analysts, released the 2021 edition of the QS Rankings by Subject.

UI made the list for the study of Medicine and Agriculture & Forestry — with the varsity’s best performance coming from Medicine.

With two ranked programmes from one institution in this year’s subject rankings, Nigeria emerged as the 76th most-represented country in the world
Of the two disciplines in UI that made the rankings, the varsity’s medical programme improved its position by falling within 351-400 from 401-450 recorded in 2020.

QS’ rankings provide comparative analyses on the performance of 14,435 programmes taken by students at 1,452 varsities in 86 locations globally, within 51 academic disciplines and five broad faculty areas.

The University of Cape Town in South Africa remained Africa’s most competitive institution, with 24 of its programmes placing among the top-200.

NwaAmaikpe:





I have already taken the vaccine.

But I regretted taken the vaccine after I had taken the vaccine and the only reason I regretted taking the vaccine was because it was the first vaccine I was taking by myself.

My mother ensured I took all the other vaccines and considering that I took this one myself, I regretted taking it because I do not trust my ability in taking the very right decisions.

So if I took it, I don't think you should; because my brain works only a quarter of the time.

What are you saying?

Now I understand that part of the Bible where God said and I quote;

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you"

Imagine if this guy was not having any form of disability, Debola Daniels would have been one pompous nuisance intimidating people because his father is the number one man in the state.

Our God works in mysterious ways....

To God be the glory.

So what of all the "pompous nuisance" guys living their best lives that God has done notn about? Why is he the one God chose as scape goat while he has not actually committed the "sin" you have stated? If you dont understand the message he is trying to pass, just let the guy be abeg.

When Nigeria's then-head of state Sani Abacha stole billions of dollars and died before spending his loot, it prompted an international treasure hunt spread over decades. The man hired to get the money back tells the BBC's Clare Spencer how the search took over his life.

In September 1999, Swiss lawyer Enrico Monfrini answered a phone call that would change his next 20 years.

"He called me in the middle of the night, he asked me if I could come to his hotel, he had something of importance. I said: 'It's a bit late but OK.'"

The voice on the end of the line was that of a high-ranking member of the Nigerian government.

'Can you find the money?'

Mr Monfrini says the official was sent to Geneva by the Nigerian president at the time, Olusegun Obasanjo, to recruit him to get hold of the money stolen by Abacha, who ruled from 1993 until his death in 1998.

As a lawyer, Mr Monfrini had built up a Nigerian client base since the 1980s, working in coffee, cocoa and other commodities.

He suspects those clients recommended him.

"He asked me: 'Can you find the money and can you block the money? Can you arrange that this money be returned to Nigeria?'

"I said: 'Yes.' But in fact I didn't know much about the work at that time. And I had to learn very quickly, so I did."

To get started, the Nigerian police handed him the details of a few closed Swiss bank accounts, which appeared to be holding some of the money Abacha and his associates had stolen, Mr Monfrini wrote in the book Recovering Stolen Assets.

He said that a preliminary investigation published by the police in November 1998 found that more than $1.5bn (£1.1bn) was stolen by Abacha and his associates.

'Dollars by the truckload'

One of the methods used for accumulating such a colossal sum was particularly brazen.

Abacha would tell an adviser to make a request to him for money for a vague security issue.

He then signed off the request which the adviser would then take to the central bank, which would hand out the money, often in cash.

The adviser would then take most of that money to Abacha's house.

Some was even taken in dollar notes "by the truckload", Mr Monfrini wrote.

This was just one way Abacha and his associates stole huge amounts of money. Other methods ranged from awarding state contracts to friends at highly inflated prices and then pocketing the difference and demanding foreign companies pay huge kickbacks to operate in the country.

image captionAbacha stole more than a billion dollars by pretending the money was needed for "security"

This went on for around three years until everything changed when Abacha died suddenly, aged 54, on 8 June 1998.

It is unclear whether he had had a heart attack or was poisoned because there was no post-mortem, his personal doctor told the BBC.

Abacha died before spending the stolen billions and a few bank details served as clues as to where that money was stashed.

"The documents showing the history of the accounts gave me a few links to other accounts," said Mr Monfrini.

Armed with this information he took the issue to the Swiss attorney general.

And then came a breakthrough.

Mr Monfrini successfully argued that the Abacha family and their associates formed a criminal organisation.

This was key because it opened up more options for how the authorities could deal with their bank accounts.

The attorney general issued a general alert to all the banks in Switzerland demanding that they disclose the existence of any accounts opened under the Abachas' names and aliases.

"In 48 hours, 95% of the banks and other financial institutions declared what they had which seemed to belong to the family."

This would uncover a web of bank accounts all over the world.

"Banks would deliver documents to the prosecutor in Geneva and I would do the job of the prosecutor because he didn't have time to do it," Mr Monfrini told the BBC.

'Bank accounts talk a lot'

"We would find out on each account exactly where the money came from and/or where the money went to.

"Showing the ins and outs on these bank accounts gave me further information regarding other payments received from other countries and sent to other countries.

"So it was like a snowball. It started with a few accounts, and then a large amount of accounts, which in turn created a snowball effect indicating a huge international operation.

"Bank accounts and the documents that go with them talk a lot.

"We had so much proof of different money being sent here and there, Bahamas, Nassau, Cayman Islands - you name it."

The size of the Abacha network meant a huge effort for Mr Monfrini.

"Nobody seems to understand how much work it entails. I have to pay so many people, so many accountants, so many other lawyers in different countries."

Mr Monfrini had agreed a commission of 4% on the money sent back to Nigeria. A rate he insists was comparably "very cheap".

Finding the money turned out to be relatively quick in comparison to getting it returned to Nigeria.

"The Abachas were fighting like dogs. They were appealing about everything we did. This delayed the process for a very long time."

Further delays came as Swiss politicians argued over whether the money would just be stolen again if it was returned.

Some money was returned from Switzerland after five years.

Mr Monfrini wrote in 2008 that $508m found in the Abacha family's many Swiss bank accounts was sent from Switzerland to Nigeria between 2005 and 2007.

By 2018, the amount Switzerland had returned to Nigeria had reached more than $1bn.

media captionGen Sani Abacha's five-year rule

Other countries were slower to return the cash.

"Liechtenstein, for instance, was a catastrophe. It was a nightmare."

In June 2014, Liechtenstein did eventually send Nigeria $277m.

Six years later, in May 2020, $308m held in accounts based in the Channel Island of Jersey was also returned to Nigeria. This only came after the Nigerian authorities agreed that the money would be used, specifically, to help finance the construction of the Second Niger Bridge, the Lagos-Ibadan expressway and the Abuja-Kano road.

Some countries are yet to return the loot.

Mr Monfrini is still expecting $30m he says is sitting in the UK to be returned, along with $144m in France and a further $18m in Jersey.

That should be it, "but you never know", he says.

In total, he says his work secured the restitution of just more than $2.4bn.

"At the beginning people said Abacha stole at least $4-$5bn. I don't believe it was the case. I believe we more or less took the most, took a very large chunk, of what they had."

He has heard rumours that the Abacha family are not so wealthy any more.

Or, as he puts it, "They are not swimming in money like they used to do in the past".

When he looks back, he seems satisfied with his work.

"When I speak to my very many children about this case, I tell them I found money and I blocked the money, I persuaded the authorities to go after these people and get the money back to the country for the good of the Nigerian people.

"We did the job."
