VirginFinder:
Ode!
The threat has worked and the Fulanis have begun falling line?

By the way, isnt it clear to all and sundry that the abductors were mere criminals and not Fulani herdsmen?

Even then, the Fulanis want to register themselves for easier accountability.

So what's your point?

Can Fulanis respond to Ohanaeze in like manner?

ARIZONA123:
. Meanwhile,there is an EMIRATE on yerigba land and there is an EZE in yerigba land. Shame.less osogbo islamic Tajudeen

Romans had no kings, yet they conquered the world.

Bros, check the constitution of the Federal republic of Nigeria and tell us what was said about basic courtesies, manners and how to respect other people.

Deji of Akure will soon be in court defending his poor ass for constitutional breach. Dey there.

You guys still belong to your past when the Oba/Deji was allowed to Bleep your wives anytime and anywhere he pleases. Welcome to 21st century.

Too bad

If Nnamdi Kanu is accused of hate speech, So also are the likes of El rufai, Kwankwaso, Junaid Muhammad, Nyako, Arewa Consultative forum, the anchors of BBC hausa etc. Why have DSS not arrested this people yet? Nnamdi Kanu must be released immediately and unconditionally.

I still find it absurd that Amode, a governor continues to represent Tinubu, a party leader.

Don't get me wrong, I know that Tinubu commands huge respect within APC and that he also made Ambode the governor, BUT it sounds so weird that the Lagos state governor has to represent him at any occasion. The govnr should be above this kind of errands which make him appear like a puppet.

The missing dollars were actually removed by a driver, and concealed in an air conditioner.
Bundles of mint-fresh dollars, valued at over $250,000 (about N40 million), which reportedly disappeared late last month from Governor Godswill Akpabio’s bedroom at the Akwa Ibom state governor’s lodge in Asokoro, Abuja, have been recovered intact.
News website, SaharaReporters, had last month reported that the missing dollars, kept in drawers in the governor’s bedroom, were stolen while he was away dinning with President Goodluck Jonathan at the Aso Rock Villa a fortnight ago.
But PREMIUM TIMES has now learnt that the missing money was recovered a week after it disappeared.
It was found by an electrician invited to carry out minor repairs on one of the air conditioners inside the governor’s bedroom at the lodge.
Mr. Akpabio, who is well known for his profligacy with state funds, had reportedly ordered the dismissal of three stewards working at the lodge, suspecting they stole the funds.
However, unknown to the governor, the trio knew nothing about the missing money.
The culprit, a senior Akwa Ibom officials close to the governor said, was actually one of the drivers attached to the office of the governor’s Special Representative in Abuja, who is the caretaker of the lodge.
The driver reportedly sneaked into the governor’s room and removed the dollars from where they were kept. But because of the security around that section of the lodge, he cleverly tucked them inside the compartment of the air conditioner until a more convenient time he would be able to smuggle his fortune out.
Officials, who spoke to PREMIUM TIMES, said a week after the money was declared missing, it was observed that one of the air conditioners in the governor’s bedroom malfunctioned.
[b]The driver plotting to steal money was, ironically, detailed to fetch an electrician to fix the failing AC ahead of the governor’s next visit. The electrician was called in as he had handled similar repairs in the past at the lodge.
On their way to the lodge, according to officials, the driver confessed to the technician how he had left “something” valuable inside the air conditioner, and which he expected him to retrieve for him, promising a huge reward if he did so successfully.
However, because of the extra security arrangement in place around the lodge following the incident, it was learnt that it proved difficult for the electrician to deliver on his promise, as one of the security operatives working at the lodge was promptly detailed to supervise the repairs.
On opening the air conditioner for repairs, the electrician was reportedly surprised that true to the driver’s earlier hint, there was a carefully wrapped parcel inside the appliance, preventing the system from functioning normally.
The electrician was said to have promptly alerted the security operative detailed to work with him about his find; and on opening the parcel, it was discovered that bundles of the missing money were actually inside.
Afraid he might be held as suspect in the incident, the electrician reportedly confessed to the operative about the favour the driver had sought from him on their way to the lodge.
The money was promptly handed over to the governor’s aide, who on breaking the good news to the governor, was ordered to give the electrician N1million cash as reward, while the dismissed stewards should be recalled immediately, although they were redeployed to other assignments.
The fate of the driver remained unclear at the time of the report.[/b]

Akpabio, but i believe you received over over 20billion x 12months x 8years- which equal over 1 trillion from federal government & likewise billions were generated from internal generation. Just saying.

Amassing a fortune in foreign bank accounts, he acquired houses in London, California and South Africa and an oil refinery in Ecuador

https://static01.nyt.com/images/2015/10/15/world/15NIGERIAN-OBIT/15NIGERIAN-OBIT-superJumbo.jpg

Diepreye Alamieyeseigha, a former governor of a Nigerian state who gained notoriety for building extravagant public works and embezzling as much as $55 million in Oil Ministry revenue, spending it on luxuries and homes around the world, died on Saturday in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. He was 62

His death, at a hospital, was announced by Bayelsa, the oil-rich Nigerian state that he governed from 1999 until he was impeached in 2005. The cause was given as complications of high blood pressure and diabetes.

Mr. Alamieyeseigha’s health problems resulted from his transfer from a hospital in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, to avoid being extradited to Britain, where he was wanted on money-laundering charges and for skipping bail, according to his successor, Gov. Seriake Dickson. He was also charged with money laundering by the United States.

Nonetheless, Mr. Dickson said Bayelsans “are proud of his life and the legacies he left behind.”

As governor, Mr. Alamieyeseigha (pronounced al-uh-mess-EE-ya) brought Nigeria’s notoriety as a source of global flimflam to a new nadir a decade ago.

Amassing a fortune in foreign bank accounts, he acquired houses in London, California and South Africa and an oil refinery in Ecuador, all while tapping public coffers to build an airport in his hometown and an Olympic-size stadium in the state capital, among other public projects.

The United States Justice Department won a forfeiture judgment against him in 2012 for money laundering and corruption.

Justice officials said he had accumulated millions of dollars’ worth of property and bank accounts around the world during his six years as governor, a period in which he was paid a total of $81,000 in salary and declared $248,000 in income from all sources.

After Mr. Alamieyeseigha was charged with money laundering in London in 2005, the police found that he had $3.2 million in cash and bank accounts and $15 million in real estate holdings there. Two months later he jumped bail — disguising himself as a woman by some accounts, although he denied that.

“Given that Alamieyeseigha had been accused of robbing blind his own people, it seems fair to assume that he would have tried to keep his return as low-key as possible,” Mark Hollingsworth and Von Kemedi wrote in the book “Against the Odds: President Goodluck Jonathan, the Rise of Nigeria as Africa’s Economic Superpower and the Threat of Boko Haram,” published this year. But they added, “Far from it.”

Addressing his cheering supporters back home, they wrote, Mr. Alamieyeseigha said: “ ‘I cannot tell you how I was brought here. It is a mystery. All the glory goes to God. Today I am back at my desk, forever committed to serve the people of Bayelsa and Nigeria. I thank the almighty God for his protection.’ ”

The state legislature impeached him in December 2005. While he insisted that the accusations of corruption were politically motivated, in 2007 he pleaded guilty to failing to declare his assets, and front companies he controlled were convicted of money laundering.


He was sentenced to two years in prison but, credited with time served, he was imprisoned for just one day. He was pardoned in 2013 by President Goodluck Jonathan, who had been his deputy and had succeeded him as governor. (Mr. Jonathan was defeated in a re-election bid in May.)

The United States Embassy said it was “deeply disappointed” by the pardon. It was granted in a country with a reputation for a kleptocratic culture, which has manifested itself in everything from government corruption to millions of emails sent worldwide by scam artists posing as Nigerian bankers seeking the help of unsuspecting people in transferring cash out of the country.

Diepreye Solomon Peter Alamieyeseigha was born on Nov. 16, 1952, in Amassoma, a town in the Niger Delta. He trained as a cadet in the Nigerian Defense Academy and joined the Air Force, serving until 1992.

After working as an executive for a fertilizer company, he was elected the first civilian governor of Bayelsa as a member of the People’s Democratic Party in 1999. He was re-elected four years later.

Nigeria’s new president, Muhammadu Buhari, has vowed to combat corruption and to rehabilitate the country’s image.

In its 2014 index of perceptions of 175 corrupt governments, with No. 1 being the least corrupt, the nongovernmental group Transparency International ranked Nigeria 136th.
