You lack consistency.Was he indicted or not?
Oga show prove from that screenshot that the money that was wired was actually stolen funds or shut up. Even the US can't prove it. They only raised alarm because of the amount that was coming in.. That is wired funds from offshore.

Semen on the other hand may have been advised by their lawyer to plead guilty in order to prevent further escalation of the matter...

Words like "alleged" doesn't mean you actually committed the crime... It is just an allegation. Going further you will see where they said "suspected". Look up the meaning of suspect and allegation... Those are like "guess" before concrete proves of claim.

Looking at the aforementioned dates, I can see OBJ's hand in it; he probably fed them the info of bribery scandal.

Why didn't they arrest the wife if they were so sure it was stolen funds? I mean the US legal system is pretty fast to apprehend anyone found wanting unlike what we have here in Nigeria where court case takes years but the wife was still moving around and went as far as opening other bank account until she "fled" according to you "A pieces"

The lawyer even went as far as telling other banks to open bank account for the wife... Again, why? Is the lawyer not afraid of being caught in a fraudulent scheme?

Again... The doc was labeled "a case study" ... What does case study mean again?

I will give you a US government website. www.hsgac.senate.gov .Go to the website type Atiku in the search column. You will see all you need to know about the money laundering and bribing indictment of Atiku from page 173. What you will see there are not my words but directly from the US. Those indictments clearly show the kind of character of Atiku .
Oga I have the PDF on my phone. All you people do... Is refer others to the site instead of stating your points convincingly...


Show me where it is stated that the wife fled... Or that Atiku has been banned from entering the US. He wired funds, who doesn't wire funds? Also note that the funds were spread across some years and not a whole swoop transfer.

It was a case study...

Congressman Jefferson, is an accomplice in a case of bribing and corruption that involved Atiku in US. Presently Jefferson is serving a jail term in US. Tell Atiku to visit US. A return ticket to America is presently N500k which Atiku can easily pay. If he returns unblemished, I will definitely cast my 1 vote for him.

PoliticsAtiku US Case-fact Of The Matter,by Eyitemi Taire by BestDude(op): 3:20pm On Oct 17, 2018
Atiku US Case
Facts of the Matter

By Eyitemi Taire:

I actually downloaded the 328 page document on the 4 cases including Atiku and read it all. There are many points of interest.

The US govt were concerned about the $40m Atiku brought into US accounts, especially as he was a politically exposed person.

Please note that the funds were mostly brought from Panama and British Virgin Islands from the accounts of his business partner at Intel's, Mr Volpi. Surely if Atiku knew his funds were proceeds of corruption rather than the legitimate business of Intel's, he would have left the funds in the tax havens from where they came, and where they would have been safe from the prying eyes of the US govt.

Also interesting is that when notice was given to him that his accounts would be closed, he was allowed to transfer the funds, which he did...to the UK, no less! Again I would wonder why a smart 'criminal' such as him would keep his 'proceeds of corruption' in economies where they can be easily probed and seized.

The main accusation the US govt made against him was that $2.8m was paid to his accounts by Siemens. But the same accusers admitted that there was a consultancy agreement giving legitimacy to those funds. They also noted that Siemens' books showed purchase of watches worth $170k for 'P' and 'VP', which they ASSUMED to mean OBJ and Atiku. At no point did the report ever confirm the assumption.

His 4th wife who operated the accounts in question is a US citizen, who at the time was living in the US. It is interesting that she was made to answer questions and then nothing happened!

His lawyer, who is very prominent in those parts, at one point after an account was closed, opened an account for Atiku under his law firm and was a signatory to the account...hardly the actions of a lawyer who knows his client's funds are proceeds of corruption. In case you don't know, he could have gone to jail for that if the money was indeed proceeds of corruption. Again he was asked to answer questions and provide documents, and then nothing!

The same report details the profits from Intel across several countries in Africa, which ran into at least a couple of hundred millions per annum. $40m seems like a minor amount in that context.

I know that APC people are a bit allergic to thinking through issues before bandying slogans and propaganda around. But any one who has any amount of money in foreign accounts and is Nigerian knows how those funds are treated with extreme suspicion often to the point of shutting the accounts down. In fact when your principal Buhari went to England and said that all Nigerians are corrupt, there was a huge wave of British banks shutting Nigerian accounts down. I'm sure those people who were affected will protest vigorously that their money was not proceeds of corruption. Indeed the banks and the governments doing this know that, otherwise the funds would have been held pending investigation.

Please Sir, stop bandying these stories around. They don't help your Principal (Buhari) one bit. On the contrary, they make him look like a desperate man who will do anything and say anything to hold on to power, even though he cannot deliver the minimum results.

Jobs/VacanciesRe: My Experience At The Peace Group Recruitment Exercise by BestDude: 1:34pm On Oct 17, 2018
LeoFish92:
A few weeks ago, Peace group of Companies (owners of Peace Mass Transit) advertised for the position of Executive Trainee.
I applied and we had our Exam/interview yesterday in the conference hall of a hotel in Enugu.

I arrived there and saw a mammoth crowd of over 300 hopeful applicants.

The first stage of elimination was basic computer test. Applicants were called one after the other, and each would climb the podium /stage, sit in front of a laptop and do something there (at that time I knew not what they were doing there) but I realised most people were sent home immediately as it was a fail and go home exercise. Only a handful succeeded.

I was terrified, what could it be that made people fail en masse, I knew it wouldn't be programming, nay, that would be too extreme and unfair.

I bid my time and waited patiently, at last, I was called up. Petrified, I went up, sat, stared into the laptop, Lo and behold, it was Ms Word.

The question? Type in your name and save it !
That was what an overwhelming majority of our graduates who want white collar jobs couldn't get right.

Granted, tension might have played a sinister role in some people's failure, as I too was a bit tensed up when I was typing, but, that not withstanding, it was very shameful seeing graduates disqualified because of simple Microsoft Word, not Even Excel, MS WORD!!.

At last, about 80 of us scaled through and went to the next round where we wrote the ''written test''.
It was an Accounting question filled with Gross and Net income calculations. In the end, and because there was no time for the oral interview, they chose the best 30 from the test and employed them, including yours sincerely.

I've heard over the years that Nigerian youths are unemployable, I never wanted to believe that because I felt that assertion was hyperbolic at best, but with what I saw yesterday, I'm beginning to think, Could it really be true that most of our youths are indeed unemployable?

I'm not writing this to pass judgment, nay, I want us to realise - if we have not, that computers are taking over, the world is going global and if you don't have knowledge of one, you might be left in a desert of despair.

Thanks.


Mods, please do the needful.
Congratulations on your success. However, I will never say Nigerian graduates are unemployable, rather I would say the school or educational system being operated here has failed to equip them; granted they should have improved themselves but isn't that what school is supposed to be?

Guide them in the right direction.

Nigerian graduates just lack the skills... Except a few who take it upon themselves to improve, others wouldn't know how to go about their life except you tell them, for the most part.

It’s pretty amazing how two different tribes can have the same name for male children. Though to be fair in Igbo, this name is the short form of Jideofor.

In Yoruba, Jide is the short form of Babajide, Olajide etc. In Igbo, Jide means to hold. While in Yoruba, it can mean “has come/resurfaced”.

Egbon, I have gone through the link you sent and am scared o. God help me. Are you advising me to consult hajivince?
lol... I know the money is scary. But you see, I was just like you until I learned one thing... How finishing is what determines the final cost of building, that is what kind of paint, tiles, plumbing and so on do you want to use? Will you use pvc or pop for ceiling? Are you going to use aluminum roofing or stone coated roofing?

All these determines the final price.

But I can assure you that 5million will plaster your bungalow and do a little above that.

The extra cost now determines what kind of finishing you want. What kind of products do you want?

This means what you want is what will determine the final price even if you are the one that wants to go to the market to buy them.

In fact to save cost, you should by your materials yourself if you wish.

And yes, contact him. He will get you something based on your budget.

PMB administration is indeed an epic failure that needs to be booted out but this Atikobi combination feeds on too much lies and so many hidden skeleton in their cupboard.

I won't be surprised if perhaps PDP wins the forth coming election that the situation of the country might remain the same or even gets worse.

Honestly APC/PDP are not different at all. Same gene of lie and corruption runs in their DNA.
PDP may steal but they always make sure the masses get something to hold on to.

Do you know how much obasanjo made from MTN? But see what the mobile revolution brought to us. I remember when some friends were getting employed in banks like flies... Many of them were able to sustain themselves for long with that.

A lot of people made good money during GEJ time. One Nairalander even confessed here last year that he made his first millions during GEJ time.

Compare then and APC.

Or how can you reach a gentleman agreement with a group and cannot track their representative back to their hideout. I will soon make a writeup on reasons this government have given us to believe they know where boko haram is.
so you don't know yet? Haaaaaa... Bros, it is forking business. As in a multi-million dollar business. And end to Boko Haram is an end to free flow of money.

I was on Quora where it was glaringly reported why Americans left because they discovered it is scheme plotted at the detriments of masses.

Ask yourself why will Buhari release Kabiru Sokoto? Why will he release other captives?

Apart from that, terrorism is a multi-billion dollar business. There are men who profit from all these. Why do you read about news of weapon interception but never hear about prosecution of the owners and subsequent arrest? Hello? Ever heard of anyone being arrested for all the weapons intercepted?

For Nigeria to be good, my brother, a lot of these elites have to die... Their family have to shed tears and sorrow that we the masses shed everyday.
