MAMAJAMA: I hate to burst your bubble, but I'm going to have to educate you;
My friend, even with all the stolen money and the 10 houses or 20 houses, in my eyes Ehindero and his entire family still worth absolutely nothing; trust me, my friend.  

One's pride and a good name are priceless.

What is your point?
Amusing, it is a shame that brain is not for sale and I totally forgot that it's just mamajama, one shouldn't expect much!

I keep telling you all this police politics is common. and we have every weapon ready to defend Ehindero. he is a credible guy and a loyal guy and I love him to death. you have to know him personally to understand what kind of a man he is. If I can tell you in c confidential, Nothing will happen with this little mess. MARK MY WORD.

Tafa Balogun's children said the same thing

Posted by MAMAJAMA:

Why is IBB still commanding the respect he does get from almost everyone in the service?  why is he still invited to National council meeting?

You keep getting things twisted.
Are you comparing a simple IG (Ehindero) to IBB; something must be definitely wrong up there, my friend.

A beg, don't get carried away, an orange is extremely different from pinapple; not even close.

Posted by MAMAJAMA:

Send this to the press to help make their case as well please BIGB1

It is amusing and I wonder how low could you go?
If it is true that you're related to Ehindero, then something serious must be wrong with your brain.

This is a man (Ehindero) who is presently at the lowest point of his life and about to be dragged on the floor like a street thief. And the best you could do is posting a picture of a house on this forum. Something is definitely wrong up there!

My man, for what? You must be circled with bunch of low life Nigerians in Chicago, who make you feel like you're somebody; because out here you look like a fool. No one is impressed by your low-life life style.

You need to relax, cool down and  have a discussion with GOD, because the way it looks, this man (Ehindero) is going down just like his master (Tafa Balogun).
The UN job is gone, his passport is gone, OBJ has publicly disowned him, Yar'Adua is requesting for FED to vigorously probe him and he's about to be paraded; if you're truly related to this man, your face should be naturally covered with shame and you should take a year vacation from this forum.

Do you have any idea what Tafa Balogun and his family continue to go through for the past 3 to 4 years. Believe me, money is not everything, your pride and a good name are priceless.

You need to get hold of yourself!

E be like say them swear for dt Police force sef

You're absolutely correct. Nigerian police force still represents the most degrading and low life occupation in Nigeria today. And you wonder why
IGs (present and past) are not creative, not committed and  not competent enough to address all issues, eliminate all obstacles and elevate the pride of one becoming a police officer.

Leadership in this society is all about ego and get all you can get before the pepper soup runs out.

Shame shame shame!

People are too lazy, not creative, not knowledgeable and inpatient to build decent wealth by doing what is right.

It is a shame and disgusting.

@MAMAJAMA:
If any of these allegations is incorrect, I assure you that I will apologize and change gear; I will even change the content of any of my topics regarding Ehindero latest drama.

But on a serious note, how much is enough?
What can you learn from a policeman who also happens to be a thief?
Where is the decency and integrity?

We truly need to develop quantitative understanding of leadership in Nigeria. The nation is gradually dieing from lack of solid, selfless, committed and dedicated leadership.
I cry and deeply feel bad for Nigeria; a nation that has it all, but also has nothing to show for it, all because of greedy bustard parasites who live just to suck our great country's blood.

There should be a special black book that is published yearly; the content of this book should be purely names of failed and corrupt leaders. They should be known as pigs by their names.

Sad part, nobody is willing to step up and help this man.

It is a very messy situation.

@MAMAJAMA: Advise Ehindero to exercise more, drink a lot of water, spend more time with family and hope for the best. It is going to be a craggy ride, my friend.

I feel bad for MAMAJAMA, but at the same time, it's a lesson to be learned.
MAMAJAMA put himself out there; believe me, it didn't have to go down like this.

But when you have a big mouth and have problem controlling yourself, this is what happens.
You just don't come here telling the whole world what you ate last night; it is absolutely unnecessary.

Moreover, MAMAJAMA is now experiencing what ATIKU's children went through few months ago. (MAMAJAMA was the ring leader during those few months, he did everything to debase Atiku and his family)

What goes around also comes around.

May be very soon Ehindero will start singing and shine some light on what really happened to Bola Ige, Funso Williams, Oyo States crisis and the presidential election.

MAMAJAMA's chicago house is for sale.

10 houses traced to Ehindero (All allegedly built in 2 years)

No fewer than 10 houses have been traced to immediate past Inspector General of Police Mr Sunday Ehindero, all reportedly built during his two years as top cop.

Ehindero, who gave the police a new motto: "To serve and protect with integrity," ran into trouble last week, after some of his former aides were arrested as they were attempting to smuggle over N21 million cash out of the Force Headquarters, Louis Edet House, in Abuja.

As Ehindero is being probed following the orders of President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, Daily Sun has been able to locate the palatial mansions he reportedly built in Abuja, Ondo and Lagos States.

The most imposing of the mansions was found opposite Sunview Hotel, Alagbaka quarters in Akure. He also reportedly built another exquisite block of flats situated along Oda Road in the town.
Investigations further revealed that the former IGP built a house similar to that on Oda Road at Oyin Akoko and made sure the road leading to the house was tarred.
Other property in Ondo include blocks of hostel in Akungba, which he let out to students of the Adekunle Ajasin University.

In Abuja, Ehindero is said to have built a mansion at Gaduwa Estate, Constitution Crescent and has one under construction at Wuye.
Ehindero’s houses in Lagos are situated at the Ekoro area of Abule Egba and Ajah, where he had built an expansive school for the wife.
Meanwhile, detectives at the ‘D’ Department, Force Headquarters, Abuja told Daily Sun that Interim Investigation has been completed and a report is being compiled.
Daily Sun also learnt that the Commissioner of Police in charge of Budget, Mr John Obaniyi who had sent his aides to fetched the over N21 million, which he claimed was for Ehindero, had kept the money in his office toilet and inside a television set.

On the heels of the scam, an independent survey has again confirmed the Nigeria Police as the most corrupt institution in the country.
Closely following the police is the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), Education Ministry (particularly higher institutions and examination bodies) and the customs service.
The survey also listed the Health Ministry, Justice Ministry, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), Nigeria Railway Corporation and Agricultural Development Authorities as institutions least likely to collect bribe.

These are part of the findings of Nigeria Corruption Index (NCI) 2007 which was released in Lagos on Wednesday by Independent Advocacy Project (IAP), a leading anti-corruption group. The NCI 2007 is a follow up to the 2005 edition.

Police Fund Scandal: Obasanjo disowns Ehindero - FG cancels ex-IG’s UN job

THE Tafa Balogun syndrome may be re-enacting itself in the ongoing police fund scandal as former President Olusegun Obasanjo is reported to have shunned entreaties from the former Inspector General of Police, Mr. Sunday Ehindero, to intervene in the ongoing financial probe of his tenure.

President Umaru Yar`Adua had ordered the investigation of the former police chief over an alleged attempt to smuggle N21 million out of the Force Headquarters, an investigation that is being extended to cover all financial records of the police under Mr. Ehindero.

Less than 48 hours after the president directed a full scale probe, more facts have emerged about the allegations the former IGP is facing with reports indicating that the next few days might witness exposure of deals, allegations and counter-allegations as was the case during the trial of the former IGP, Mr. Tafa Balogun.

Informed sources close to the former president told the Nigerian Tribune that Ehindero sought the protection of Chief Obasanjo, but the former president was said to have declined, reportedly asking the former police chief to prepare for his defence so that his case would not be like that of Balogun.

Ehindero, who until recently was very close to Obasanjo, was said to have told the former president that he was a victim of vendetta arising from internal police politics, an argument said to have been rejected by the former president.

Reports had it that Ehindero approached Obasanjo on May 27, pleading for a three-month extension which the former president instantly granted him.

Yar’Adua, on assuming office on May 29, was reportedly miffed at the conduct of both his predecessor and Ehindero, thereby immediately directing the police boss to immediately hand over to his second in command.

Obasanjo, it was gathered, had also told Ehindero not to expect any protection from him if he (Ehindero) was indeed involved in corrupt conduct while serving as the Inspector General.

Top police sources at the Force Headquarters told the Nigerian Tribune that the issue before the former police chief was more than the N21 million police fund as he had been accused of buying the residence of the Inspector General of Police for a whopping sum of N450 million.

The police committee was reported to have advised Ehindero not to purchase the house as it is the heritage of the police.

“IGP Okiro had briefed the top echelon of the police over the residence purchase and he has vowed to retrieve the house from Ehindero. All other details on the police account under Ehindero are undergoing review,” the top police officer said.

Okiro was also said to have brushed aside insinuations that he was battling Ehindero as a payback for the way he (Ehidero) treated Mr. Balogun, his predecessor, insisting that he was only doing his work to restore dignity to the police force.

Feelers from the force headquarters had it that the ongoing feud is a direct battle between loyalists of former inspector generals like Musiliu Smith and Tafa Balogun with Ehidero being fingered as Smith`s boy and Okiro as Balogun’s boy.

Loyalists of Balogun were said to be bitter with Ehindero for not only exposing his predecessor, but for collaborating with the Ribadu Commission in the prosecution of the former IGP.

Meanwhile, the Federal Government has reportedly withdrawn the name of Ehindero from a recent international appointment in a world body dealing with police matters worldwide.

The former police chief was to resume at his new duty post in the next two weeks but the Federal Government action has stalled the plan.

Nigerian Tribune learnt that the international passport of Ehindero was seized to forestall not just his feared escape but to stop him from resuming at his new duty post.

We've always been asking for a scape goat to be used to send message to the rest; it will be sad if Ehidero is this scape goat.

This whole situation reminds me of a security guard who also happens to be the thief.

Only in Nigeria.

The sad part of the whole situation, Ehindero stepped on many toes during his time as the IG, hence folks are very hesitant to step up to help him during this horrible time. Furthermore, Ehindero doesn't exist any more in OBJ's dictionary. Therefore this man is in the bush in the dark all alone.

I guess what goes around also comes around.

MAMAJAMA:
I'm sorry, it doesn't look good, but I wish you and your folks best of luck.

Yar’Adua orders probe of police questionable money

President Umar Yar’Adua has ordered immediate and thorough investigations into circumstances surrounding the arrest of a police officer who was found in possession of questionable money at Police Headquarters, Abuja.

The order was given to the Acting Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mike Okiro, in line with the President’s declared commitment to ensuring probity and transparency in the management of public funds.


Yar’Adua further directed that upon conclusion of the investigation, a detailed report on it be forwarded to him by the police chief for further action.


A statement issued last night by the Presidency added that the President similarly directed the Ministries of Defence and Foreign Affairs to immediately recall Nigeria’s Defence Adviser in India, Navy Captain G.


A. Ojedokun, from whom a large sum of United States dollars was recently seized at


the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi.


Meanwhile, immediate past IGP, Sunday Ehindero, on Tuesday appeared before the investigation panel probing the disappearance of the sum of N21.6 million from the police coffers.


Ehindero was reported to have told the panel made up of senior police officers that he has no hand in the deal.


Already, the police commissioner in charge of force budget (names withheld), his personal assistant and driver have been quizzed and detained at the force criminal Investigation Department (FCID).


Informed sources told our correspondent in Abuja that the officer who was posted to the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) on the eve of Ehindero’s retirement was packing his personal effects when his aides were apprehended with the loot.

Scandal in police: Ehindero’s passport seized
Wednesday, June 13, 2007
It never rains, it pours, for retired Inspector General of Police (IG), Mr Sunday Ehindero, who is facing probe over a multi-million Naira fraud at the Force Headquarters, Abuja, as 20 of his former aides have now been arrested in connection with the scam.

As the aides were being quizzed at the ‘D’ Department of the Force Headquarters, Louis Edet House, Abuja, Daily Sun learnt that the National Security Adviser to President Umaru Yar’Adua has seized the International Passport of the embattled former IG following reports that he was planning to travel out of the country.

It was also gathered that detectives were sent to search the house of Ehindero’s henchman, the Commissioner of Police in charge of Budget, Mr John Obaniyi, who is at the centre of the N21 million scam uncovered last week, when two of his aides tried to smuggle the money out of the Force Headquarters.

It was Obaniyi, who allegedly confessed that the loot was being taken to Ehindero when he was being interrogated by the acting Inspector General of Police, Mr Mike Okiro.
A detective in Abuja told Daily Sun: "We went to the CP’s house at Area 11 and the place had been cleared. It was empty. We only found two fat women there."
Meanwhile, Obaniyi was said to have been released on bail after he made a statement and gave investigators some useful information.

Daily Sun gathered that the police made more arrests of Ehindero’s aides after the confession of Obaniyi and two of his men who were caught with the bags of money at the Force Headquarters.
Investigators are also beaming their searchlight on Ehindero’s accounts to know where he got the money he used in allegedly building about eight magnificent houses in Akure, Ajah area of Lagos and Abuja during the two years he served as IG.

They are also asking Ehindero the whereabouts of a N2.5 billion police cooperative money and N300 million police funds.

Meanwhile, President Yar’Adua on Tuesday directed the acting Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Mike Okiro to undertake a thorough investigation into the reported apprehension of a police officer with millions of Naira at Police Headquarters, Abuja.

The President also directed Mr Okiro to forward to him, detailed report on the incident immediately investigations are concluded to enable him take necessary further action.
Similarly, President Yar’Adua has also ordered the Ministries of Defence and Foreign Affairs to effect the immediate recall of Nigeria’s Defence Adviser in India, Navy Captain G.A Ojedokun.
Captain Ojedokun was last month found with about $2.7 million cash at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi.

The money was later released to him following diplomatic presentations by Nigeria’s High Commission in India and the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Full text of the press release from the office of the Special Adviser to the President (Communications) and signed by Mr OJ Abuah reads: "In furtherance of his declared commitment to ensuring greater probity and transparency in the management of public funds, President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua on Tuesday directed the acting Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Mike Okiro to undertake a thorough investigation into the reported apprehension of a police officer with millions of Naira at Police Headquarters, Abuja.

"President Yar’Adua further directed that a detailed report on the incident be forwarded to him at the conclusion of the investigation for further action.

"In a similar vein, the president has also ordered the Ministries of Defence and Foreign Affairs to effect the immediate recall of Navy Captain G.A Ojedokun, Nigeria’s Defence Adviser in India from whom a large sum of United States dollars was recently seized at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi."

stop discussing this issue O! Are you not aware that some people are only here to win arguments

.

It's not about winning an argument, infact this isn't an argument, this is a sensible discussion among intelligent Nigerians who care about tomorrow.
Yes, Nigerians do not have what it takes to compete effectively, but we should identify solutions and get government attention to make things right.
We can not continue to allow this to take place in Nigeria. It's time to elevate educational standard, implement job training and motivate investors to have confidence in Nigerians.

We can not plant defective seed and expect miracle to happen when it's time to harvest.
Let us be less ignorant and together plant a solid foundation for the sake of tomorrow.

It's all about tomorrow!

BIG UP to my man,degoat; one love.

@MAMAJAMA: I agree, the story makes no sense. If everything turns out to be false alarm, I hope Nigerian press and other noise makers will come out and apologize to the man (Ehindero).

Mike Adenuga on the other hand doesn't need Nigeria and the alamists (haters) are now getting to understand this fact. Adenuga's investments in Nigeria is only 20% of his empire. The man is a major blessing and asset not only to Nigeria, but to the entire African nations. The man is responsible for the only highlight of OBJ's regime (telecommunication).
A man like Mike Adenuga only comes once in 200 years.
Waste no time, Nigerians, I'm confident to say that this man is the only solution to our electric power failure in Nigeria.
I pray and I hope that his incredible spirit in contributing vigorously toward developing Nigeria never goes away.

Let's all GLO like star; trust me, it is cool!

BIG UP to my man, deor03; one love.

@Angel 101: what's the beef?

@MAMAJAMA:
I've retired myself from this site, but I have no choice but to return back for an interesting topic like this!
Is this topic sincere or you're just trying to circumvent some attention away from your old man?

You got it wrong, my friend; not even close. I'm very sure that when the time is right you will correct yourself.
And for your information GLO is the best thing that ever happened to Nigeria for the past 7 years; hence let's watch our tongue from slipping.

Mike Adenuga is well, infact very well and will return as soon as folks get themselves together in Nigeria.
