Why I said of the operators step up their game!

You also have to consider users and impact on bandwidth.

Starlink just has less than 10,000 users in Nigeria and why you still appreciate it.

If half of MTN subscribers are forced to use it, you won’t get 20mbps.

This is still open for debate, Im sure someone will come with a data contianing active users in Nigeria in a bit, I live in the UK more than in Nigeria so I am not in the now of the active subscribers

TheStoriesOfMan:
What? You said Starlink will fold if MTN put in the work for broadband?

Hehehehehehehehehehehe.

What do you think powers high-security AI data centers in Hong Kong?

What powers quantum computing? You want to use broadband for quantum computing? You want to use a drop of water and a paper napkin to clean 100 glass windows?

Guy you are very funny.

Bro I think you went too far o n this one,Japan is Fibre,Nigeria is still geting introduced to copper wired broad band which is very slow.

HacheNoire:
Read my subsequent comment! I never said one satellite.

Well true you never did, but I think with this argument in all if you was stating FIbre yeh I will agree with you but with wired internet as we have at the moment in Nigeria, I think I will give it to star link until Nigeria upgrade to fibre optic broadband. Starlink with its LEO satellites wont stand a chance with proper fibre.

HacheNoire:
Yes!

Research about it! Not here to go into technical details.

No way satellite communication can deliver speed or outshine broadband. No possible way!

I think you are wrong here, this is a different kind of satellite, not the conventional one and this is done by them only at the moment. These are multiple satalite not a fixed satalite, this is where you got it wrong.

If, you have 200K sitting in your account, do take this opportunity and invest it on the IPO.The stock market is very volatile and it's difficult to say how much you can make in a year but it often works for long -term investors, from 3 years upwards.IPOs has made many people millionaires and billionaires.Seplat for example had an lPO of 576 Naira, but it's over 14.900 Naira per share today.Those who were patient to wait are seeing the capital gains. Don't waste your money by drinking, clubbing,giving to women, smoking etc.

I can tell from your write up you have never owned an IPO,bro if you wanna make any meaningful sense from buying shares you need minimum of N15m to break even in your life time and even at that, it still a waste of time reason is simple, I can invest that said sum in Lands and make up to %30 ROI within 15 months.I am not saying shares are bad but companies pay shares when they make profit, now in the Nigerian society people manipulate profits.If you want to know how craaap the system is, try Borrow N200k from Lapo and see howmuch interest you got to pay in a month then compare it with this IPO

Why waste your money on beer rather than invest your money on shares?If you invest that money over time,do you know how much you make?

Tell us howmuch you can xpect end of each year if you invest 200k

FarahAideed:
For Nigerians that are perpetually ignorant just know Lebara is if not fully fledged network operator,it's what we call a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO), they ride on Airtels infrastructure and bandwidth meaning they are reselling Airtel basically...I don't think MVNOs can fly in Nigeria because of the poor disposable income of Nigerians , I give them 36 months max and they will quietly beat a retreat

They are even more expensive, so they wont fly

honesttalk21:
If the Rusimpex, Amamgbo, and 56-property fronts truly belonged to others, those others had every reason to step forward and claim them, courts don't need her present to hear a third party assert title. Peters did exactly that in 2018 (per the same link you sent) and won his properties back. Aluko and Omokore, despite being fugitives themselves, still had assets attributed to them by name in the same forfeiture wave. Nobody came forward for Rusimpex or the 18 shell companies, because Nwokedi and Amamgbo, the men actually managing them, told the EFCC under questioning that they'd set them up on her instruction, not their own.

Her absence explains why the underlying criminal case never got tested. It doesn't explain why no genuine owner surfaced for those specific fronts the way Peters did.

On worth; being a Shell director and OPEC president makes a comfortable income plausible, but plausibility isn't the test forfeiture law uses. It doesn't ask whether someone in her position could be rich, it asks whether this specific money and jewellery can be traced to that income. Peters answered that question with documentation. Nobody did for Rusimpex or the Asokoro jewellery.

Great I agree, but be honest do you realy think no one came 4ward to claim them? and also on the base of beyound reasonable doubt, where tehy the EFCC able to prove the jewelleries where hers and f ound in teh said property?was this not announced to Nigerians to make it look as if they are working?Just like teh case of Billions of Dolars shown to Nigerians stack i n shelves You see when thier mode of obtaining evdence was put to test in the west, case fell appart cos teh EFCC is compromised,they now fish for things by directive of who is in power and on top and to whom they answer to at the said tmes,I am not holding brief for her but the EFCC has lost its credibility long ago, look how they were sharp with the Ibori case that was awesome, since then bro, I gave up on them ags ago.

Nigeria

The UK case hinged on cards and contracts sitting with Aluko, not her, which is a real hole in proving she was the paymaster under a beyond reasonable doubt standard. But Nigeria's forfeitures ran on a separate, lower civil bar that targets assets rather than intent, and the jewellery wasn't a third party linked claim like the Aluko, Peters, or even the Banana Island property (which itself sat under a shell company, Rusimpex); it was physically recovered from her own Asokoro home and forfeited by court order. Existence isn't the same as proof of a crime, but it isn't no evidence either. She also fled Nigeria in 2015 before the handover and never faced domestic trial, which is on her, not just EFCC incompetence.

If you read that link I sent you, you will also see the so called Nigerian recovery was a hole as well, even some of the seized houses was returned ,try and read it. Jewelleries aint shyt bro, how much do they cost?This is a minister and a former Director of SHELL plus an Opec president, don't you agree she is worth some few millions of Dollars?Have a read xpecially 2wards the end of it, then you will know this chase was someone angry and has vendeta.The same thing they wanted to do to that young lady from here who was a minister of finance.Watch this closing statement and tell me what you think

Criminal law is meant to follow evidence, not optics. If governments seize properties as Aluko’s, uphold them as Peters’, or allow them to be sold on by their male owners, they cannot honestly invite a jury to behave as though those same houses were really hers all along. Until prosecutors can move beyond “he paid and held the keys, therefore it was secretly hers” to clear proof of ownership and quid pro quo, the question hanging over this trial is not whether corruption in Nigeria’s oil sector should be punished. It is why, when the paper trail points so clearly to others, only one person is being asked to carry the weight.

Where investigators have overreached, the correction has been explicit. Two UK properties that Nigerian agencies initially tried to sweep into the Diezani scandal as part of a broader forfeiture drive were shown to belong to Aiteo boss Benedict Peters. In 2018, the Federal High Court in Abuja ordered their immediate release, holding that the properties “wholly belonged to him” and had no proven link to Alison-Madueke’s alleged misconduct. In that instance, both land records and the court spoke with one voice: the houses were his, not hers.

Overlay this with what has happened in the market. Investigations spurred by the Pandora Papers showed how one London mansion previously owned by Kola Aluko was sold on for roughly £10–11m to a British Virgin Islands company. Whatever one thinks of that transaction, the key point is simple: the person who exercised the legal right to sell—to sign the transfer, take the proceeds, and walk away—was Aluko, not Alison-Madueke.


Elsewhere, businessmen whose UK properties once appeared on Diezani-era forfeiture schedules continue to live in or control them after courts affirmed that those assets are theirs alone.


In other words, when governments go to court to seize, sell, or release these houses, they put the men’s names on the paperwork. They treat those men’s acts—surrendering one property, selling another, reclaiming a third—as valid exercises of ownership. Yet in the London criminal trial, many of the same addresses are held up as if they were self-evidently “Diezani’s homes,” the bricks-and-mortar expression of her alleged greed. If states truly believed she was the beneficial owner, why have their own forfeiture actions, across three jurisdictions, been aimed at Aluko, Omokore, and Peters instead?

How the Story Quietly Shrinks the Men

There is a quieter distortion running through this case. In the documentary record, Kola Aluko and his peers are anything but bit- players: they are the ones whose cards paid at Harrods, whose companies settled (or failed to settle) the gallery and building invoices, and whose names appear on title documents, forfeiture orders, and sale contracts. Aluko, in particular, appears as a global operator in his own right—a man with a super-yacht, a Manhattan apartment, and a property portfolio large enough to attract dedicated forfeiture actions in Nigeria and civil suits in the United States.


Yet in the London courtroom narrative, that profile is subtly flattened. The billionaire whose spending and signatures structure the entire paper trail is quietly downgraded to a kind of overgrown errand- runner—the man who supposedly buys and renovates houses, commissions lifts, and charters private jets “for” Alison-Madueke, as though he has no independent agency or motives of his own.


The woman who fought her way into Shell’s executive ranks and became OPEC’s first female president is recast not as a professional navigating a world of already-wealthy men, but as the unseen owner and mastermind of one of those men’s empires. The effect is to inflate her role while infantilising his: the law and markets treat the properties and companies as his, but the story being sold asks the public to treat them, morally, as hers.

EFCC's own chairman Bawa (EFCC Alert, 2021) put figures on it: $153m recovered plus final forfeiture of 80+ Nigerian properties worth ~$80m, including flats/penthouses at Banana Island. Separately, a Lagos Federal High Court ordered permanent forfeiture of $40m in jewellery seized from her Asokoro home in 2019. Those are court orders, not press claims — so "no evidence" isn't accurate, even if the underlying criminal case stalled.

Bro those were media trials, do you still believe in those things? her name was not in any of those properties, this was also mentioned in court as part of the persecution submission of bad character. Those funds or properties wee never in her name and ythe most annoying thing is this, the EFCC could not provide evidence in court that these properties and monies ever existed in the 1st place, this was the mockery the EFC brought to Nigeria in the UK.All they have was Linked, no document to prove anything or to show funds left her account or were the funds found in her bank account. Look I am not saying she is a saint, I am just trying to tel you here, that, the EFCC are inadequate in their war against corruption, take a look at this page it paints a true picture of how inadequate teh EFCC is.

honesttalk21:
They're different cases. UK's Southwark trial was narrow: six bribery counts tied to specific benefits from Atlantic Energy/SPOG, concluded in acquittal in June 2026. Nigeria's EFCC case, 13 counts of money laundering built on unexplained wealth, never reached full trial. But forfeitures still happened, run through Nigeria's separate non-conviction civil forfeiture track, which doesn't require a criminal conviction. EFCC claims over $153m recovered and 80+ properties forfeited that way. So no evidence describes the criminal case that stalled, not the forfeitures, which proceeded anyway and are now being challenged in Abuja using her UK acquittal.

Please Enlighten us on what was recovered from her, do you know of any with proff? cos from what was red in court none of the so called properties ws her own and the EFCC do no have any evidence of funds recovered ro do you know of such?
