Social media and MMM...

Embattled former Minister of Petroleum Resources , Diezani Alison - Madueke, has denied allegations levelled against her by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission , daring the anti - graft agency to provide incontrovertible any evidence against her. She also faulted President Muhammadu Buhari ’s anti - corruption
fight, saying it was aimed at demonising and destroying a few Nigerians.

The former minister said this in a viral statement on a popular blog, www.stelladimokokorkus. com , while reacting to several media reports about her on Saturday.

A Federal High Court in Lagos had recently ordered that the $153 m which was illegally lodged by the ex- minister through cronies in three banks be temporarily forfeited to the Federal Government.

However , Diezani denied ownership of the money , insisting that she had no access to funds from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. She said , “ I wish to state that I cannot forfeit what was never mine. I do not know the basis on which the EFCC has chosen to say that I am the owner of these funds as no evidence was
provided against me before the order was obtained and they have not in fact served me with the order or any evidence since they obtained it. As of the time of my writing this rebuttal (January 19, 2017), the EFCC has still not furnished me or my lawyers with a copy of the order .”

In a terse text message on Saturday night, the spokesman for the EFCC, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, however, challenged the former minister to come back to Nigeria if she believed she had done nothing wrong. “ She (Diezani ) should return to the country and clear her name , Uwujaren said without making further comments .

In her statement, Diezani also denied ownership of an $ 18m (N5 .7 bn ) mansion located on Margaret Thatcher Close, Asokoro, Abuja, which was seized by the EFCC in June. In a report by a television network, Al Jazeera , the anti - graft agency noted that the items in the house included jewellery , furniture and a bulletproof gymnasium worth about $ 2 m .

The ex- minister slammed the acting EFCC Chairman , Mr. Ibrahim Magu, for taking the Al Jazeera reporter to the mansion and misleading the public. Diezani said the house did not belong to her but to an oil magnate, Mr. Kola Aluko . Aluko is Diezani ’s alleged front who is on the EFCC watch list.

The ex - minister said , “ On June 13 , 2016 , the EFCC once again took their well - trodden path to the media ; this time claiming that they had ‘discovered’ a mansion in Asokoro , Abuja, worth $ 18 m (about N9bn ) which they purported to belong to me .
“ The EFCC went to the extent of bringing in Al Jazeera , an international TV station, to air a damaging documentary against me in this regard , showing a particular residential building in Asokoro, Abuja, which they told Al Jazeera belonged to me. “

The EFCC Chairman Ibrahim Magu , personally took the Al Jazeera reporter to the building, alleging that it belonged to me . It has since become apparent that the house belongs to a company owned by Mr. Kola Aluko .
“ If this is not a witch - hunt or a personal vendetta against me , how is it that one of our country ’s premier investigative agencies was unable to avail itself of facts that are freely available in the public domain?

“ Since the EFCC claimed that the alleged $18 m Asokoro property belongs to me, then it should kindly produce the ‘authentic ’ Certificate of Occupancy and land registry information and any other relevant information as proof of my ownership of the property.” The former petroleum minister , who served from 2010 to 2015 ,
also denied involvement in the $ 1 .3 bn Malabu oil scandal. The scandal involves the controversial sale of OPL 245 , one of the most lucrative oil blocs in Nigeria.

Diezani said the matter was a legal issue which was handled by the then Attorney- General of the Federation , Mohammed Adoke (SAN ).
She said , “ I wish to categorically state that I have never held any discussion on this matter with any individual or entities outside of official channels . As the minister of petroleum resources, I did not participate in any activity relating to financial payments on the Malabu matter , other than those statutorily mandated to the
Minister of Petroleum Resources by the Petroleum Act. My role in this matter was a purely statutory one as required by law in the Petroleum Act. ”

The ex - minister further slammed the EFCC for misleading the media regarding her estate in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State. She said the estate was not worth billions of naira but only N394m and that she declared it in her Asset Declaration form which was submitted to the Code of Conduct Bureau . Diezani said , “ On November 9 , 2016 , the EFCC officials visited our family home in Yenagoa as pre - agreed and they were escorted around the premises . I was therefore completely shocked to once again see my name sensationally splashed across the front pages of newspapers and widely circulated on the Internet , with blaring headlines such as ‘ EFCC uncovers Diezani ’s multibillion - naira estate ’.

“ There was absolutely nothing ‘hidden ’ or ‘concealed ’ about the home. I had declared it openly as required by law , in my Asset Declaration forms (Annex - 4 B ). Yet the EFCC announced that it ‘just discovered ’ my ‘ hidden estate ’ and labelled it a ‘multibillion - naira estate ’ even though it had been given the Bill of Quantities,
showing actual amount spent.

“ The EFCC (officials) were taken on a tour of the compound which consisted of a main house , and two outhouses – an obi (meeting bungalow) and a staff quarters (BQ) building – above which we built three guest rooms and a parlour.

“ The other two structures are the gate and generator houses. Construction began in late 2011 and was handled in phases. During the visit , the EFCC was given the bill of quantities, which up to the time construction stopped in early 2015 , due to my
illness , was at approximately N 394 m which was declared in the Code of Conduct documentation attached (the costs were partially funded by a loan – see code of conduct – Annex 4 B , the work is still uncompleted and the contractor is still being owed ). Building costs escalated as a result of delays in construction and external factors such as the extreme flooding of late 2012 that covered most of our
areas in the Niger Delta. ”

The former minister , while listing her achievements , maintained that she left over $ 5.6bn in LNG Dividend Funds . She said under her watch, there was virtually no case of fuel scarcity in the country .

In a parting shot to the EFCC , Diezani said , “ The fight against corruption in Nigeria will be far better served if the EFCC focused on incontrovertible facts, as opposed to media sensationalism and completely distorted stories, in its bid to demonise and destroy a few specially chosen Nigerians . ”

Reacting to Diezani ’s statement, the Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee against Corruption , Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN ), advised that the former minister save her energy for her trial which may come up soon. Sagay , who spoke in his personal capacity and not as the chairman of the PCAC , explained that corrupt people in power usually use fronts like the mafia.

He said , “ She should reserve her energy for her trial . If a $153 m was found in accounts linked to her and she was the minister selling oil on behalf of the government , one does not need to put two and two together . “ Her statement is premature ; let her prepare it for her defence . “ I am sure you have watched the movie, ‘The Godfather ’. The real godfather never shoots anyone by himself . All he needs to do is press a button and someone else will do it but that doesn’ t mean
that the murder cannot be traced to him. So , when Diezani ’s trial begins , the truth will be made known. ”

The Director General of the Voice of Nigeria , Mr. Osita Okechukwu , also asked the former minster to come home and face the law instead of staying in the comfort of another country to throw verbal missiles .

“ She was right when she said the money confiscated from her by the EFCC is not her money . Of course , it is not her money , it is the money which belong to the long - suffering Nigerian taxpayers which she took and converted to personal use .
“ While in office as super minister , she never thought a day would come when she would be called to give account , but today, there are questions she does not have answers to . The EFCC is a legal entity set up by law . If tomorrow I leave office as DG VON and there is reason for the EFCC to investigate me, they will and I will
not be hiding under any guise to escape justice.

“ In 2013 , money was voted and a ceremony was held by the (ex - President Goodluck ) Jonathan administration that they were going to build three refineries, one in Bayelsa, one in Kogi and another place. Where are those refineries ? Where is the money ? Nigerians are wiser than before . All these sentiments won ’t sit well with Nigerians any longer . She should return and help the EFCC recover what was stolen. ”

OK

It can only be God my brother.


As for those men whose work is to stand on the road and check vehicles, (I don't need to mention them) there is more to do than to keep collecting a N50 from those drivers.

God bless Nigeria!

FTC at last...I dedicate it to all those struggling to make FTC. You will get there..

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Friday arraigned the acting Managing Director of Uda Community Bank (now Uda Microfinance Bank), Fredrick Ogbueifun , before Justice P.A. Ajoku of the Federal High Court , Benin, Edo State , for an alleged N 316 .9 m fraud.

The suspect , who was slammed with 33 charges, was accused of raising different overdrafts at different times in favour of several account holders above the limit laid down by the law and the bank ’s regulation.

Ogbueifun, however , pleaded not guilty to all the counts when they were read to him in court. One of the counts read , “ That you, Fredrick Ogbueifun, while being the acting Managing Director of Uda Community Bank Nigeria Limited (now Uda Microfinance Bank Limited ) on or about October 22 , 2007 within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, did knowingly grant and approve an overdraft in the sum of N 3,150,000, 600 in favour of Assurance Venture Ltd ., an account holder with account No . 1210200072 , which the said sum is above your limit as the acting Managing Director of the bank as laid down by the law and in accordance with the bank ’ s regulation and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 15 (1 )(a )(b )
of the Failed Banks (Recovery of Debt ) and Financial Malpractices in Banks Act CAP F 2 of the Revised Edition (Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2007 ) and punishable under Section 16 (1 ) (a ) of the same Act. ”

In view of his plea, the prosecution counsel , Sadiq Hussaini, asked the court to fix a date for the commencement of trial. However, the defence counsel , A. O. Ekpu , urged the court to grant his client bail with a promise that he would make himself
available for trial. Justice Ajoku granted the accused person bail in the sum of N1m with two sureties in like sum . The sureties must be public servants not below level 12 . The sureties must have property within the jurisdiction of the court.

The judge adjourned the matter till March 15 , 2017 for trial , while the accused person is to be remanded in prison custody pending the perfection of his bail.
In a similar development , the EFCC on Friday arraigned one Joseph Ishiguzo before Justice J. E. Inyang of the Federal High Court, Owerri , Imo State , on four charges bordering on conspiracy and obtaining money by false pretences.

Ishiguzo allegedly sold 18 plots of land to the complainant for N33.3 m, issued the complainant a handwritten receipt together with power of attorney even when he knew that the said plots ofland did not belong to him. The accused pleaded not guilty when the four counts were read to him.

In view of his plea , the prosecution counsel , M .T. Iko asked the court to fix a date for trial and to remand the accused person in custody. Justice Inyang granted the accused person bail in the sum of N10m or two sureties in like sum . The case was adjourned till February 16 and 17 2017 for trial.

Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45 th President of the United States on Friday, ten weeks after he defeated Hillary Clinton of the Democratic Party at the November 8 polls. The property tycoon won an unexpected victory against Clinton in
one of the most controversial campaigns in US history . Chief Justice John Roberts of the Supreme Court administered the oath to Trump on the steps of the US Capitol Building , shortly after Mike Pence, the Vice President, was sworn in by the Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas , the first African American to ever administer the oath of office to a Vice President or President.

The event was presided over by Roy Blunt , a Republican senator from Missouri and chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Activities. For his swearing in , Trump used two Bibles — the one used by President Abraham Lincoln in 1861 and the one his mother gave him in 1955. For his swearing in , Vice President Pence used the one used by Ronald Reagan in 1981.

Until 1933 , new US presidents were inaugurated on March 4 , four months after election day, but this was shortened to around two months with the ratification of the 20th Amendment . Apart from Trump ’s family — including his wife Melania — the inauguration ceremony was attended by former presidents and first ladies, including Jimmy Carter ; George and Laura Bush ; Bill and Hillary Clinton; and Barack and Michelle Obama.

Members of the US Congress were also in attendance, although more than 60 House Democrats boycotted the event . The only absentees were 92 - year - old George Bush Senior , who was in hospital being treated for respiratory problems, and his wife Barbara.

The Democratic members of Congress had announced they would skip Trump ’ s inauguration, citing the President’s perceived insult of Congressman John Lewis as the final straw. Trump lashed out at the civil rights icon last Saturday morning
after Lewis said in a Friday interview he didn’t view Trump as “ a legitimate president. ”

Lewis , a Georgia Democrat from an Atlanta- area district who protested alongside the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr ., also said he would not attend the inauguration.
Trump had responded that Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district — “ which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results. All talk, talk, talk — no action or results. Sad !”

His comments had drawn outrage and messages of support for Lewis from both Democrats and Republicans. Meanwhile, about 900 ,000 anti- Trump protesters are expected to rally in Washington , DC , on Saturday (today ) for the Women ’s March on Washington.

Protesters and Washington police had scuffled on Thursday night outside a meeting of pro- Trump conservatives , the first of several demonstrations aimed at disrupting the new administration ’s inaugural weekend. The protesters gathered on 14th Street outside the National Press Club to demonstrate against “ DeploraBall, ” an event organised by some of Trump ’s most fervent supporters.

The name riffs off the campaign description of some Trump backers by his defeated opponent, Hillary Clinton, as a “ basket of deplorables .” As attendees — some of whom were clad in suits and red hats , others dressed in gowns — entered the event , demonstrators chanted “ Shame” and “ Nazis go home ” behind a phalanx of police.

Some held signs that read “ No Alt Reich” and “ No Nazi USA .” Other protesters chanted against the “ alt - right , ” “ fascists ” and “ Nazi scum,” though it could not be immediately determined who was attending the event .

Today’s anti- Trump march is staged by women (and men) who were dismayed that America chose Trump — an alleged sexual predator whose policies could be a huge setback for women’s health and rights — over Clinton. In solidarity with the disgruntled Americans , thousands of demonstrators in the United Kingdom also mobilised against Trump ’s inauguration, with a banner reading , “ Build bridges not
walls,” draped across London’ s Tower Bridge.

Meanwhile, Trump delivered a searing inaugural address, attacking Washington and promising a new hope for Americans who want to dream big. Promising “ America first ,” excerpts from the US President’s speech said , “ America will start winning again , winning like never before. We will bring back our jobs . We will bring back our
borders . We will bring back our wealth, and we will bring back our dreams.

“ We will build new roads and highways and bridges and airports and tunnels and railways all across our wonderful nation. We will get our people off of welfare and back to work, rebuilding our country with American hands and American labour.”
However , as Trump resumes office, confirmation hearings for most of his cabinet picks were being delayed as the nominees had not reached agreements to resolve ethical conflicts stemming from their financial holdings.
