RisingSun1:
Why is the man crying for DSS help.

He is a COWARD

He new how powerful KANU is before he attacked him

He should have been ready to face any possible consequence before starting the attack

Is KANU not a coward too ? He knew how powerful the Govt was before going against them, why did he start crying afterwards ?

Politics / Abudal’aziz Abubakar Yari Buys House Of $1m In The US - Sahara Reporters (Photo) by edoyad(m): 3:58pm On Jun 28, 2017



Two years after taking office, SaharaReporters can exclusively reveal, Zamfara State governor, Mr. Abudal’aziz Abubakar Yari, bought a property in the United States for a princely sum of $950,000. The 2.1-acre property is located at 14800 Bowie Farm Court, Bowie Maryland (Zip code: MD 20721) has six full and two half bathrooms with a jacuzzi in the master bedroom.


Deed documents obtained by SaharaReporters from the Circuit Court of Prince George’s County, Maryland, USA, denote Mr. Yari as the sole owner of the property, which was purchased from a limited liability company, K Hovanian Hamptons, located at Creek 11, Delaware. The company used to be known as Real Property Holding, with an address at Prince George’s County, before changing its name on 25 January 2011.

The deed on the property is dated August 27, 2012, while the approval of the purchase was granted on 1 November 2012 after Yari paid the princely sum of $950,000 cash, there was no mortgage on the property. Equally captured on the deed document is the sum of $5,225, which was described as “recordation of tax paid” and $13,300, described as “transfer tax paid”, both offering indications that Mr. Yari operated a foreign account in clear breach of Code 3 of the Code of Conduct Bureau.

A real estate property tax information obtained by Saharareporters from Prince George’s County shows that Governor Yari paid taxes on the property up till date, his 2017 estate tax was $16, 583.10.

Mr. Yari bought the property after his fraudulently awarded N25billion in road contracts in Zamfara in 2012.

The code of conduct law expressly prohibits certain public officials from operating bank accounts in any country outside Nigeria. These include the President, Vice President, governor, deputy governor, ministers, commissioners, members of the National Assembly and the Houses of Assembly of the States.

According to the deed document, Mr. Yari signed the agreement in person, with Kimberley Armstead a notary public of Montgomery County State of Maryland, serving as a witness.
In May, this website exclusively reported that Mr. Yari, Chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, is building a 100-room hotel in Lekki, Lagos, with the $3million he stole from the Paris Club loan refund to states. Aside from the $3million, Mr. Yari was also found to have diverted the sum of N500million from the Paris Club refund to pay off a loan. He was said to have withdrawn N500million from the N19billion Paris Club refund illegally paid into the account of Nigerian Governors’ Forum as payment to “consultants”. He deposited the stolen sum into a bank account with a mortgage bank from which he had taken an N800million loan to buy properties in 2013. This move, SaharaReporters learned, enabled him to renegotiate his debt from N800million to N500million.

Mr. Yari is thought to have trousered the sum of N2.2billion from the sum illegally diverted into the Nigerian Governors’ Forum Account by the Federal Ministry of Finance. The Senate President, Mr. Bukola Saraki, and his cronies also benefited to the tune of N3.5billion from illegal diversion, which is being investigated by the EFCC. Officials of the anti-graft agency told SaharaReporters in May that Mr. Yari’s hotel, which is under construction, has been listed as a proceed of crime and will be taken over once the EFCC obtains a court order.

Mr. Yari has denied ownership of any hotel in Lagos, claiming he does not even own a plot in the Nigeria’s commercial capital.

In 2017 over 1000 persons died as a result of a meningitis epidemic with Mr. Yari’s Zamfara leading in the number of deaths. At the peak of the epidemic, Yari reportedly said the epidemic was the punishment from God against his people for their sins.

Politics / Sahara Reporters Exposes Nigeria's Worst Case Of Nepotism: IMO State by edoyad(m): 6:55am On Jun 13, 2017


Governor Rochas Okorocha's jet-setting life around Nigeria and he is also Nigeria's most nepotistic governor.

Governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha travels around Nigeria in private jets with tail numbers listed below.
Learjet - ZS - KAA
Gulfstream - N605JA
Hawker Beechcraft or Embraer Legacy - 5N - PZE
Before he became governor, he had put his private jet on the market for sale.

He is also known to staff his cabinet with in-laws, brothers, wife and cronies, the worst in Nigeria apart from President Muhammadu Buhari's cabinet.

His son-in-law, Uche Nwosu married to his first daughter is presently his Chief of Staff, whom he is plotting to impose as the Governor of Imo state come 2019.

The Minister from Imo State Prof. Anthony Anwukah is also his in-law, married to his second daughter, Uju Okorocha. His youngest sister, Ogechi Ololo, is his Deputy Chief of Staff as well as his SA Domestic Affairs.
His wife Mrs. Nkechi Okorocha is in charge of "Amnesty" in Imo State with a five billion naira budget.

His eldest sister, Mrs. Geraldine Obinali, collects all market fees nd fines in Imo State. His eldest brother Gerald receives the account for all Motor Park tolls in Imo State. His younger brother Okey is in charge at Imo Transport Company. His brother, Jude is in charge of revenue from sand dredging, and any laterite excavation pit in Imo State.
Gov. Okorocha claims that he has built twenty-Seven General hospitals in Imo State but only twenty-six have been under construction in the last six years. Only one has been completed and that one is being run by a medical doctor as a private hospital. He has never traveled in a commercial flight since he became the Governor of IMO state.
Sometimes he flies into Abuja two three times in a day. He hops around the country in the privates like riding a bike.
His second Daughter Mrs. Uju Rochas Anwukah is appointed as Board member from Imo State.

Yes your calls are yours alone. Nobody has the right to tap your calls without approval from a judge. After tapping your calls, they do not have the authority to leak them to anyone. Fundamental violation of rights.

Is GEJ an Igbo man? Did we support him anymore than we supported OBJ and Yaradua . Why then didn't those two construct the International Airport?

But nothing stopped Jonathan, Reno's boss from doing so. So Reno shouldn't try to manipulate a topic that the regime he served under didn't handle.

After reading a lot of the comments here, I've come to the conclusion there isn't that much difference in the level of development between African countries. It's the same with other continents. U.K. , spain , France , Sweden and Germany basically at the same level. Brazil, Argentina and Chile too are at par when it comes to infrastructure.
What African countries need right now is cooperation not competition.

Some just don't get it! Africa do not begin and end with Nigeria, others are making efforts.

And the point is, IT SHOULD. Kenya has a GDP that isn't up to that of Lagos, not to mention Nigeria that has 8 or 9 times the GDP of Kenya. No matter the effort these other countries are making, our size and available resources demand that we lead them when it comes to infrastructure and funding of projects.

Use your brain. Go and research. Go and learn the meaning of PPP. Go and visit the Abuja-Kaduna network. Ply the trains. Stop using what happened 20 years ago as an excuse to be mentally lazy and unwilling to keep up with developments.

I'm from kaduna state so don't tell me about the kaduna - Abuja rail system. That was simply a political move, no more no less. The most pressing rail needs in Nigeria all involve moving in , out of or around Lagos state. Anything else is just wash.
The Kenyan rail project involves two of Kenya's most economically important regions, Nairobi and Mombasa. Pray tell me, do Abuja or Kaduna rank in the top 15 of Nigeria's most economically important cities ?
