Do not visit the 'sins' of the father on the son.

The foundation for this logic as laid out in this text is deeply flawed. Lagos cannot become capital again.

ADC should kindly shut up. I don't like the President but on this one, anything that will stop the killing is very welcome.

Be like say another slap don land wey he no expect...

By the way what are those items on the table - especially the things in the bottles?

And the expert knows the target of the US?

If you fall for this kind of scam, you probably deserve to be defrauded

Honestly .. especially if you are a married man - you need to be publicly flogged.

I tire of politics when human lives are at stake. It is telling that Sokoto was the target of the first joint strike.

I agree with Ghana and I can't wait till this goes away.

For my good health - I need to avoid watching Nigeria .. Both the manager and some of the players are not serious.

Mr Purity. As if you don't commit crime in secret. You guys claim righteous but has the darkest of hearts...

What kind of statement is this?

Year2025:
Nigerians are not wanted anywhere anymore why? It's definitely because of bad international image we wear now. Thanks to political officer holders

No it is not due to political office holders. It is due to the bloody criminals. People that go out and steal, peddle drugs, commit fraud and other crimes. Those are the people giving us a bad name. Your leaders have been stealing since even before independence but they are not the reasons why countries are bouncing Nigerians.

I thought someone said tax reform will prevent all of these?

Interesting that bots are paid to badmouth Dangote. Same bots are paid by politicians in APC and PDP. Reason this ...

Looks like the politicians know the rubbish going on ...

Good for Lagos residents.

galantjoe:
People that opposed your presidency were men in you put in PMB cabinet to cover for you but they connive to have the golden chalice by themselves. Somebody like vice president Osibanjo and CBN gov Emefiele dealt with you very seriously

They forget that power corrupts and never outshine your master

Never outshine your master? Do you realise that human advancement depends on the opposite of this statement? No wonder Nigeria is getting worse if this is what some people think. It is an insecure person that has an issue with their student outshining them!

You are a symbol of which GOD?

Talk talk talk

They should go hire private bodyguards ...

Not a worry for me. I don't eat Indomie.

The guy is easily parted with his money and what does a proverb say about someone who is easily parted with his money?

Ermm Senate - where are the CNG buses this regime promised? Chase that one down ... And investigate Akpabio especially his tenure in NDDC

"Mr Ahmed publicly explained that funds used for his children’s education came from long-term savings, including a scholarship scheme and personal investments, not public resource"

Nonsense talk, a Man that have been a civil servant most of his adult life in a third world country was able to save millions of dollars from his employment, how is that possible ?

I am waiting to see what details come out. It is possible dude may have been an investor from the beginning of his career. You never know.

I am tired of the corruption. Don't people fear GOD anymore? You can't die and go with the monies. The children you are stealing it for won't enjoy it.

Just checking - words fit hurt? I mean words from another person who is looking to me for a favour? Hmmm TIL..

Discourage or encourage? It is lack of action that will discourage investors!!

Do you know how many government officials have kids abroad.
If we are investigating public officials with kids abroad, then lets investigate all of them
We should not target just Farouk Ahmed.
I can list 50 Nigerians with kids of government officials studying abroad and their parents salary and position is not even up to Farouk Ahmed.

Kindly list and send to EFCC or their internal bodies of investigation. Farouk's own has been outed. Out the others ....

malali:

I am not his child. I just would not standby and watch him get mobbed without any evidence.
If Dangote wants to accuse him, he should do so with evidence of financial misappropriation
Not by his lifestyle, If we are investigating people by lifestyle......My security guard has 4 wives on minimum wage with 16 children
Can EFCC go and investigate him as well ?
How is he getting the money to feed 4 wives and 16 children on minimum wage ?

He just did with proof. That is all is needed. Aliko doesn't need documents etc. How do you think anonymous lines work?

I work in an org where a top manager did a family event and so many red flags .. as he got back - he was quietly invited for investigations and subsequently let go.

malali:
Nancy Pelosi is a public servant in USA senate.
Nancy Pelosi has a salary of $174 thousand dollars.
Nancy Pelosi is worth over 280 million dollars.

Many people in Nigeria have kids schooling abroad.
Their parents salary is not even up to Farouk Ahmed's salary

This man is not Nancy Pelosi and if you read on Nancy. You will know that there have been questions over the source of her funding and if she is taking advantage of her husband's role to do insider trading.

A government official in Nigeria should not be having 7 billion naira for school fees unless he has a side gig. Has he declared his side gig? Do the same salary analysis for Farouk as you did for Nancy. What has been his annual salary?

NB All that has been said is to investigate not that he should be arrested and jailed. If indeed his funds are clean no wahala ...

malali:
Institut Le Rosey (Rolle & Gstaad)
$110,000–$135,000 per year
The most expensive boarding school in Switzerland.

6 years for 4 children at 135k per years is $3.2 million dollars.
Not 5 million dollars.

Farouk Ahmed Oil & Gas industry roles (Nigeria & abroad):
• Started professionally as a Logic Board Verification Engineer at Apple Inc. in Dallas, TX, USA before moving into the energy sector. 
• Senior Crude Oil Trader – Duke Oil Inc. 
• Manager, Crude Oil Export Programming & Nominations, Shipping & Terminals (NNPC) 
• Executive Director (Commercial) – Petroleum Products Marketing Company (PPMC) 
• Managing Director – NiDAS Marine Limited (NNPC/DAWOO Joint Venture) 
• Executive Secretary – Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Authority (PPPRA) 
• Managing Director – PPMC 
• Special Adviser (Downstream) to the Group Managing Director, NNPC 
. Chief Executive Officer, Nigerian Midstream And Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA)

Dangote really thinks someone who has held all this post in Nigeria doesn't have 5 million dollars.........

How do you know he didn't make it in the stock market ?
Unless Dangote has evidence of misappropriated funds from NMDPRA, with documented evidence, this is defamation. Farouk should sue Dangote for false allegations and intent to defame. Money could have been inheritance,gifts,investments etc.
Do you know how many people have unexplained wealth in Nigeria, starting from Asiwaju Jagaban Tinubu ?
I suspect the Tinubu-cabal wants to remove Farouk Ahmed, they are just using Dangote to do the dirty job.

NO PADI FOR JUNGLE.

All this history demonstrates is that this chap has a track record and should be investigated. What kind of government salary gives a man 7 billion naira to pay for school fees!!!

malali:
Dangote is just targeting the guy, because he is standing up to Dangote most likely. Very few people can stand up to him in the North.
They can disagree on policies and issues. Dangote can get financial forensics against Farouk Ahmed. Like documents showing how the money is siphoned from government coffers.
But saying a man is corrupt because he lives above his means in Nigeria. Is not really a good way to catch a thief. There are millions of people in Nigeria living above their means. Even the president was accused of living above his means.
Dangote's wealth might be public knowledge, but in Nigeria......Nobody's wealth is public knowledge other than him and a few others.
There are people in Nigeria with private jets and they don't have a job or any known business.
5 million dollars is not a big deal.

7 billion naira is not a big deal? For someone who is at the top of a key body to be living above their means is a big deal and a massive red flag.

The people you have just described are all red flags. In a working society, they will be investigated on tax, source of funds, and other points. What did you just post?

They require a petition?
