My philosophy is to put the best forward, men and women of competence and integrity, who can stand up to us politicians to challenge us and say no when necessary. Such people are not noisy or able to gain attention by being loud, I believe my role is to do all I can to project them."

When you read something from someone with this kind of mindset....you just can't help but feel that Nigeria is blessed with very profound and intellectual minds.

I guess that the JagaBandit must have found those sterling qualities in Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces.
Otherwise what led him to throw his ACN presidential candidate, Ribadu under the bus

KIRIJI: When the Lagos state government under the administration of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu had issues with the federal government, president Obasanjo witheld the federal allocation meant for Lagos for months yet Lagos did not starve.

Tinubu introduced the concept of IGR; salaries were still payed to state workers, projects were carried out, policies were implemented etc with no kobo coming from Abuja

Why do you guys LIE as if you are breathing oxygen
Obasanjo's federal administration seized only the money meant for the LGAs, which is a fraction of what the state itself gets. The allocation for Lagos STATE government was NEVER seized.

This was the news about the released money by Yaradua from Thief'nubu own newspaper- The Nation:

President Umaru Yar’Adua’s directive to the Accountant-General of the Federation to release forthwith the N10.8 billion funds belonging to the Lagos State Local Governments must have shocked to former President Olusegun Obasanjo whose government sat on the funds illegally for four years. Segun Adeniyi, the president’s spokesman, said the president gave the directive after consultations within the agencies and institutions of government.

EmoBoy: Man, that's probably because Clinton has an organization that promotes projects and initiatives that are ecologically friendly. Clinton probably knowledge of the project and was their to lend his support for the project. Clinton probably doesn't know Tinubu's name

I see that you have allowed yourself to fall for the FRAUD being peddled by these DIMWITS who know very little about what they are saying or simply are part of the SCAM that is the man who CLAIMS to be Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Bill Clinton will appear at any function for a speech once you can pay his fees:

THISDAY Newspaper Group paid Clinton $700,000 for a Lagos, Nigeria speech on March 25, 2011. The organization paid Clinton an additional $700,000 for a February 13, 2012 speech.

barcanista: Take your gossip else where. Tinubu just returned from the USA.. Why didn't they arrest him? He has no immunity, why didn't NDLEA/Police Arrest him?

Is it that you are CLUELESS, partially BLIND or both as this was part of the Sahara Reporters story I posted

After a protracted litigation in which Bola Tinubu claimed that the monies legitimately belonged to him, his wife, Oluremi Tinubu and his surrogate mother, one Alhaja Mogaji, Bola Tinubu finally opted for a stipulated settlement with the U.S government. According to the settlement Order dated September 15, 1993; Hon. Judge John A Nordberg ordered that the sum of $460,000 held by Bola Tinubu in The First Heritage Bank account be forfeited to the United States Government. The Court also ordered the release of the funds held in the Citibank account and any money held in excess of $460,000 at the First Heritage account to Bola Tinubu in line with the agreement and stipulation reached by Tinubu with the federal agents.

Or maybe you were taught by those youth corper teachers used by our STATE governors in secondary schools rather than RECRUIT professional qualified teachers and reduce youth UNEMPLOYMENT

KIRIJI: Bros
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu also has is own flaws. I have some reservations about him but i still admire his political sagacity.

Tinubu was one of the chief finacier of NADECO. He was part of the democracy activist that fought the military junta of General Sani Abacha before he became the Governor of Lagos state in the fourth republic.

His drug money laundering activities and subsequent FORFEITURE of the bank balance to the US authorities of such proceeds is at variance with the above narrative.

How U.S Federal Agents succesfully Linked Bola Tinubu to drug Trafficking Ring in Chicago

Facts have emerged that the erstwhile Governor of Lagos state, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu may have been involved in a white heroin trafficking network which operated in Chicago and some parts of Indiana and led by one Adegboyega Mueez Akande between 1988 and 1993. The source of the white heroine was identified as one Mr. Lee Andrew Edwards who was incarcerated for attempting to murder a federal agent while the agent was executing a search warrant on him.

According to the Verified Complaint for forfeiture in case No. 93 C 4483 Obtained by SaharaReporters, which was filed on July 26, 1993 before the Hon. Judge Nordberg of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, the United States Government urged the Court to order the forfeiture of funds in accounts Nos. 263226700 held by First Heritage Bank in the name of Bola Tinubu, funds in accounts 39483134, 39483396, 4650279566, 00400220, 39936404 and 39936383 held by Citibank N.A in the name of Bola Tinubu and funds in accounts 52050-89451952,52050-89451952, 52050-89451953 held by Citibank in the name of Bola Tinubu because there was probable cause to believe that the funds in Tinubu’s bank accounts represented proceeds of narcotics trafficking or were monies involved in financial transactions in violations of 18 U.S.C, sections 1956 and 1957 and therefore, was forfeitable to the U.S Government.

However, in a tacit defense of the ownership of the funds, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu averred in Court that the funds belonged to himself, his wife, K.O Tinubu and his surrogate mother, Alhaja Mogaji and warranted that they had exclusive right, title and interest to the funds.

In an affidavit sworn to by Kevin Moss, a Special Agent with the United States Internal Revenue Service, criminal investigation division in support of the verified complaint for forfeiture of Bola Tinubu’s moneys held in various Bank accounts, the agent gave a vivid account of how he came to the conclusion that the funds were proceeds of narcotics transaction in violation of the U.S law.

Mr. Moss averred that prior to and during 1988; the government became involved in the investigation of a white heroin trafficking network operating in Chicago, Illinois and Hammond, Indiana. The investigation disclosed that an individual known as Lee Andrew Edwards was a source of white heroin. The government sources provided information about Lee Andrew Edwards including the identity of a telephone number which activated in electronic pager. This pager according to him was to be called to place an order for white heroin. According to Mr. Moss, this pager was subscribed to by one Adegboyega Mueez Akande who at that time was a resident of Chicago.

Mr. Moss further averred that during February 1988, an individual named Abiodun Agbele arrived in the U.S from Nigeria and during investigation by the government, Agbele disclosed that Akande was his uncle who provided him an apartment in Hammond, Indiana.

According to Agbele, Mr. Akande returned to Nigeria in1990; however, before he left, he instructed Agbale to serve as a source of white heroin for Mr. Lee Andrew Edwards as a result of which Agbele sold white heroin for Lee Andrew Edwards on numerous occasions. Following a tip off, Agbele sold one ounce of white heroin to a law enforcement agent undercover on November 28, 1990 for $7,000 and was subsequently arrested. After his arrest, Agbele agreed to cooperate with the law enforcement agents regarding the white heroin distribution and network of Akande.

According to Agbele, Akande controlled the operation of white heroin from Nigeria in conjunction with other individuals in Nigeria and the U.S. One other individual who worked with Akande according to the affidavit was identified as Bola Tinubu who later became the governor of Lagos state from 1999 to 2007.

The investigation also revealed that in December 1989, Akande took Bola Tinubu to First Heritage bank where Bola Tinubu opened an individual money market. In the account opening application, Tinubu, gave his address as 7504 South Stewart, Chicago, the same address used previously by Akande and his company, Globe-Link. This is the same address used as the drop-off point for packages from Nigeria that contained the white heroin. According to bank records, Bola Tinubu also opened a joint checking account in his name and the name of his wife, Oluremi Tinubu. Mrs. Tinubu had previously opened a joint Bank account also in the same bank with Abdrey Akande, the wife of the heroin kingpin, Adegboyega Mueez Akande.

Upon opening the account, Tinubu deposited the sum of $1,000 in traveler’s check. However, five days after opening the account, specifically, on January 4, 1990, Tinubu deposited the sum of $80,000 into the account.

According to the federal agent, in a credit application dated January 6, 1990, Bola Tinubu disclosed that he resided at 7504 South Stewart and that Mueez A. Akande was his cousin. Tinubu further stated that he was an employee of Mobil Oil Nigeria Limited, Fairfax, Virginia and his take home pay was $2,400 per month. Additionally, Tinubu stated on the application that he had no other sources of income and listed his wife, Oluremi Tinubu as co-applicant for the application for automobile loan. The loan was secured with the certificate of deposit in the amount of $10,000 which Tinubu had purchased with a withdrawal from the $80,000 deposit in his checking account.

According to the federal agent, Bank records from First heritage Bank disclosed that in 1990 alone, Bola Tinubu deposited $661,000 into his individual money market account and in 1993; he deposited the sum of $1,216,500 into the same money market account. The agent further avers that in 1991, Tinubu began opening accounts at Citibank in the section known as the world-wide personal banking unit where he transferred the sum of $560,000 from his money market account at the First Heritage Bank.

This development prompted the Federal agents to interview representatives from Mobil Oil regarding Tinubu’s employment status and his take-home pay. The Mobil Oil representatives confirmed to the investigators that Tinubu was employed by the Mobil Oil as a treasurer. Mobil Oil further told the federal agents that this position did not involve the transfer of large amounts of money between banking institutions. Mobil oil representatives also stated that under no circumstance would Tinubu be permitted to retain money belonging to Mobil Oil in accounts bearing Tinubu’s name. Finally, Mobil Oil confirmed that the corporation never had any accounts in banks in the southern suburbs of Chicago.

On January 10, 1992, the federal agents obtained a court Order freezing Tinubu’s accounts at First Heritage Bank and Citibank respectively. Thereafter, Tinubu contacted the First Heritage Bank to transfer money from his accounts and was advised that the accounts had been seized by the U.S Treasury.

On January 13, 1992, Mr. Moss, the Federal agent contacted Bola Tinubu in Nigeria by phone using a number provided to the First Heritage Bank by Tinubu himself. Mr. Moss averred that during the course of the interview, Bola Tinubu confirmed that he knew Mueez Adegboyega Akande. Tinubu further admitted during the interview with the federal agent that he had wire transferred $100,000 to Akande’s bank account in Houston and that the $80,000.00 of the funds used to open the account at First Heritage Bank had come from Akande. Tinubu further admitted that he had other accounts in Fairfax, Virginia and London.

Concluding his affidavit evidence, Mr. Moss stated that with all these evidence, there was probable cause to believe that the funds in the accounts held by First Heritage Bank and Citibank, N.A in the name of Bola Tinubu represented property that was involved in narcotics transaction in violation of the U.S law. He therefore, urged the Court to issue an order of forfeiture of the funds.

After a protracted litigation in which Bola Tinubu claimed that the monies legitimately belonged to him, his wife, Oluremi Tinubu and his surrogate mother, one Alhaja Mogaji, Bola Tinubu finally opted for a stipulated settlement with the U.S government. According to the settlement Order dated September 15, 1993; Hon. Judge John A Nordberg ordered that the sum of $460,000 held by Bola Tinubu in The First Heritage Bank account be forfeited to the United States Government. The Court also ordered the release of the funds held in the Citibank account and any money held in excess of $460,000 at the First Heritage account to Bola Tinubu in line with the agreement and stipulation reached by Tinubu with the federal agents.

Ironically, this case came up at the peak of the struggle against the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election by the Gen. Babagida-led military junta during which time Tinubu as a member and one of the leading financiers of the National democratic Coalition (NADECO) made several “pro-democracy” trips to the U.S ostensibly to press for U.S sanctions against the Nigerian junta. It is therefore doubtful whether most of those trips were actually connected with the June 12, struggle after all.

Shiiiiiioooooooooooorrrrrr!!!

if it is ILLEGAL and so many people died as a result of the ILLEGAL action what is the government of Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN doing about charging ALL those responsible for the clearly AVOIDABLE deaths to court for MANSLAUGHTER (at least)

KLEINBASS: dnt forget the same guys who who are investigating this case are the same guys who zuma still have to fight them in court over his own separate arms deal corruption. if zuma cnt sweep his own arms deal cases do u thnk he can do it for nigeria over night.

This is beyond suid-afrika government,

I have NOT said anything should be swept for anyone.
I have only said the information flow into the public space about delicate defence transactions between two friendly countries should be BETTER managed.
Big DIFFERENCE.

Those involved need to handle this better than they are doing currently.

Can you imagine how many people will be employed if these governors and LGA chairmen addressed these three issues adequately thus reducing the problem of three square meals/a day

bakynes: I cannot understand why some so called Yorubas who live in Lagos can't correct dis igbo folks who have not stepped into Lagos before. You know quite well lekki,V.I and Ikoyi are all surrounded by water that's why it's on d island. They have to sand fill before building any structure and during raining season they have dis problem even in areas where the very rich folks live. So it's no fashola or Tinubu's fault it's just the area. They just need to borrow some engineering technology from countries like Dubai who build a city on water.

In your attempt to defend Fash'OLE and Thief'nubu you have made yourself so incoherent as to be considered CLUELESS

IF it is not the fault of these two who have held Lagos hostage for over 15 years with annual budget of N500 billion including N300 billion raised as IGR from the pockets, bags, wallets and handbags of the residents of the state of Excellence then who are "they" that you said "need to borrow from Dubai" and let me add Amsterdam and Venice

Meanwhile the Jonathan/Sambo federal administration has only 10 times the Lagos budget for 36 states and the federal constitutional responsibilities over which they have done much better than Fashola in the past 4 years or so

How many schools are well funded. What of corruption and embezzlement, has it been tackled? What is the quality of the justice system to the average Nigerian? What is the right of the Nigerian child and his/her right to better education? How about the health system, how affortable and standardized it is?

beopened: You sure are not getting my drift. As much as i loath anyone with a criminal tendency,my take is that why are all of these 'facts' not being used against Tinubu at the moment? This guy is a Politically Exposed Personality,he shouldn't have the gut to bestride the political landscape if all these are available to EFCC,Police,SSS,Interpol etc

Why haven't even PDP for once alluded to all of this and make noise about it

I am well above media or internet trial of anybody...........Get a conviction against him legally and put him to 'sleep' and political irrelevance.......That shouldn't be too much to ask for

Dont come here showing me links of any media blogs or sites........The court is your friend

Or we shall then conclude that PDP/GEJ is a failure owing to the avalanche of evidence against their No1 Political enemy yet they still allow him to give them sleepless nights?

Let me share two yoruba adages for you to REFLECT upon:

There's nothing wrong in helping others.

There's nothing wrong in sacrificing for a moment so others may be be happy.

There's nothing wrong in sacrificing your own need, if helping others meet their need will mean greater good.

When people are on their dying beds do you know their two biggest regrets?.

1. Not pursuing their dream.
2. Not doing enough to help others.

I will keep giving, as long as I have.

The OP has not said do not give.
He said give with BOUNDARIES such that you do not hurt yourself for relations & friends who do NOT need ETERNAL crutches since they are not permanently DISABLED.

Why is that so difficult to understand

This man have stood elections severally yet not even PDP his arch enemies have alluded to this trash you are yapping about not once!
Do you by any means know more than his political enemies the PDP/Fed Govt?

The same person you erroneously call a looter because he has a Financial and Tax advisory Management company Alpha Beta Consult which manages the unified central collectibles of not only Lagos state but even some PDP states owing to the competence the company have been known to deploy in its activities

That the company is owned by Tinubu is immaterial...........Please tell the EFCC to arrest and probe him if whatever he is doing is not backed by law

The Law recognises Financial and Tax Advisory companies.....even the Federal Govt uses them

Your peurile opinion about Tinubu being a squatter at Krestal Laurel in Maryland is very juvenile........i knew for a fact that Gbenga Daniel was an AD member and as a Party man lend his office to be used by a fellow party stalwart as a staging area or boardroom during the transition period when Tinubu won his election as a Governor due to its nearness to Alausa Secretariat



Tinubu is the No1 enemy of PDP led Fed Govt and i am sure they are constantly scheming to destroy him.......yet in all of these landmines this guy as imperfect as he is has consistently weathered the storm.

This is his 8years of his being without immunity,whoever that has anything on him should forward same to the comatose EFCC rather than come here to bore us with long epistles! Nairaland is not the Law Court

That the person who calls himself Bola Ahmed Tinubu FORFEITED drug money proceeds to the US government is a known FACT as shown below:

Bola Tinubu's Heroin-Tainted Assets Forfeiture Judgement

Sahara Reporters has obtained original copies of a judgement in the case of United States v Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the former governor of Lagos State, in which Bola Tinubu was charged (along with other defendants) in a case of massive drug trafficking and money laundering. This judgement directly relates to (and further documents) the September 16, 2008 "How U.S Federal Agents succesfully Linked Bola Tinubu to drug Trafficking Ring in Chicago" report by Sahara Reporters

Snippets of the case and subsequent judgement are presented below. The complete document (VERY LARGE pdf file - 4mb) can be downloaded at the end of this report.

The United States of America, by its attorney, Michael J. Shepard, United States Attorney for Northern District of Illinois, for its verified complaint of forfeiture, states as follows:

1. This is a FORFEITURE action under 21 U.S.C , ss88 and 18, ss 981.....
2. The DEFENDANT funds are located in the above-described accounts and were SEIZED pursuant to PROCESS ISSUED BY THIS COURT....
...
4.... beginning as early as 1998, Adegboyega Mueez Akande, WITH OTHERS OPERATED a organiszation (sic) which DISTRIBUTED WHITE HEROIN, a controlled substance under Title 21 of the United States Code.
5.... this DISTRIBUTION OPERATION was conducted on a LARGE SCALE and the PROCEEDS of the operation SUBSTANTIAL. The defendant funds represent proceeds of this OPERATION of property involved in MONEY LAUNDERING.
6.... the defendant funds represent proceeds of NARCOTICS TRAFFICKING ... and ... MONEY LAUNDERING..... the funds are therefore FOREFEITABLE to the United States....

JUDGEMENT:
j... Neither a claim nor answer has been filed on behalf of the defendant funds .... accordingly, it hereby
ORDERED that the funds in the AMOUNT of $460,000 in account.... in the name of BOLA TINUBU represents proceeds of NARCOTICS or were involved in financial transactions in violation of 18 U.S.C ss 1956 and 1957 and therefore these funds are forfeit to the United States.....
