The hardworking 'Nigerian Jews' as usual!!!

By next week - the news story will change to PMB witch-hunting PDP members.

PDP should get its house in order.

Rebranding in full force

Unfortunately, OBJ took the corrupt level in the NA to a highher level with his 3rd term agenda by allegedly bribing the lawmakers with huge cash-ful of 'ghana-must-go' bags.

Regardless which of the two parties that wins on saturday - APC or AD, Ahmed Tinubu is still the winner.

If Olushola Oke of AD becomes governor, he will cross-carpet to APC at some point in the future.

The question goes thus: must state governors buy cars for the state legislative arm of government.

Now there is no seperation of power, because the HoA will do the bidding of the state governor everytime.

On another note, the cars are beautiful - 'real tear rubber'

I think Jegede will win because the Ondo people will give him a vote of sympathy.

Baba OBJ has not received his monthly allowance for the past 10 months, so he's vexing seriously hence the 20 pager of annoyance.

I like the colour of this vehicle - nice

A major crackdown on corrupt foreigners laundering their ill-gotten gains in Britain has uncovered £170 million of suspected illicit assets in powerful new evidence of the scale of “dirty money” flowing into London.

The National Crime Agency said the suspect assets — which include multi-million-pound homes in London’s most expensive districts — had been identified in probes into 25 cases of “international corruption” it is carrying out with overseas law enforcers and all assets had been frozen under court orders.

Some of the suspected dirty money is held elsewhere in Britain or overseas, but the agency — dubbed Britain’s FBI — said much of it was in London, invested in property or other assets. It also plans to target the use of corruptly obtained money to buy “high-value residential property in the areas where the lights aren’t on”.

Donald Toon, the NCA’s director of prosperity, made the disclosure in an interview with the Standard, in which he vowed to intensify the purge on corrupt foreign investors when new powers come into effect.

He predicted that the reforms — including “unexplained wealth orders” requiring suspects to prove the source of their wealth and plans to force owners of overseas companies used to buy homes to reveal their identities — would have a “visible effect” on the London property market, including a dip in prices or demand for prime properties.

Mr Toon also revealed that the NCA had referred several lawyers to the Solicitors Regulation Authority for allegedly being lax and unprofessional over their legal duty to alert authorities to suspicious financial dealings by their clients. Professionals from other occupations such as accountancy have also been referred to their regulators.

Mr Toon’s most significant revelation, however, was about the value of suspect assets that the NCA had identified since it set up a specialist unit in June last year. “We have 25 live investigations for international corruption,” he said, adding that the assets involved totalled £170 million.

He said many of the probes involved multiple suspects and that citizens of Nigeria — which had a “very fundamental problem with corruption” — were among those under investigation.

Seriously, I think the Senate President is 'fibbing' as usual.
Maybe he should acquaint himself more about news from other countries about the level of corruptness emanating from Nigeria.

I think the election should be postponed to allow Jegede some time to campaign and do some rallies.

Seriously, our level of democracy in Nigeria is too childish, if a so called 'biggest political party' in Africa cannot put its house in order - PDP is one useless party.

President Mugagbe of Zimbabwe is there, thought he's not leaving too well?

Ahead of the ongoing probe and pending their arraignment, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Department of State Security Service (DSS) have restricted the movement of not less than 13 judges to the country.

The judges cannot travel abroad because they have been watch-listed until permitted by a court.

It was also learnt that security agents have started screening the Petty Cash Book of the Supreme Court and payment vouchers to contractors.

The Petty Cash Book which emanated from draw down from Secret/Operation Account was said to have revealed a lot on how about N2.2billion was spent on miscellaneous expenses.

The interim report indicated that the “discoveries were messy and least expected in such a scared place.”

About 15 judges are undergoing probe by the EFCC and the DSS.

Those under investigation are two Supreme Court judges-Justices Sylvester Ngwuta and Inyang Okoro; the former Presiding Justice of the Court of Appeal, Ilorin Division, Justice Mohammed Ladan Tsamiya; Justice Adeniyi Ademola (Federal High Court); the ex-Chief Judge of Enugu State, Justice I. A. Umezulike; Justice Kabiru Auta of Kano State High Court; Justice Muazu Pindiga (Gombe State High Court); Justice Bashir Sukola and Justice Ladan Manir, from the Kaduna State High Court.

Justice Agbadu James Fishim (National Industrial Court); Justice Uwani Abba Aji Justices Mohammed Nasir Yunusa, Hyeladzira Ajiya Nganjiwa; Musa Haruna Kurya; and Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia (Federal High Court).

Out of the judges, the NJC has recommended sanctions for Justice Mohammed Ladan Tsamiya; the erstwhile Chief Judge of Enugu State, Justice I. A. Umezulike; and Justice Kabiru Auta.

Investigation by our correspondent revealed that all the judges have been watch-listed and their movement restricted to the country until investigation is concluded.

A reliable source, who spoke in confidence, said: “All the security agencies and the Nigerian Immigration Service have been notified that the affected judges are undergoing investigation. The implication is that they cannot go out of the country except permitted to do so.

“Actually, many of the judges have had their passports either seized or kept in custody of investigating agencies.

“The restriction is to make the ongoing investigation easier. As a matter of fact, some of them have been reporting intermittently or in some cases daily for questioning to either the EFCC or the DSS. It is not a punitive action but it is a way of facilitating investigation.

“For instance, we have had instances when detectives followed Justice Ofili-Ajumogobia to inspect some assets in Delta and Edo States. If she had been abroad, they won’t be able to do so.

“We are tracking many assets of some of these judges and this exercise requires verification and updated interrogation.

“But as soon as they are arraigned in court for trial, their bail will be at the discretion of the court.”

As at press time, it was gathered that some security agents were already screening the Petty Cash Book of the Supreme Court on how about N2.2billion, allegedly drawn from the court’s Secret/Operation Account, was spent on miscellaneous expenses.

Some vouchers of payment to some judges and contractors were still being screened by security agents.

Another source said: “The discoveries were messy and least expected in such a scared place. They actually border on non-compliance with Financial Regulations or gross abuse of the process.

“Some miscellaneous expenses and allowances were completely outside the approved rates by the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) on remuneration for public and judicial officers.

“These details will soon be released to the public so that Nigerians can appreciate the rot and the weak system at the apex court.”

Meanwhile, about five firms have been implicated in the offering of bribes to some management staff of the Supreme Court.

According to a document obtained last night, the companies/ contractors include Willysdave Limited; Welcon Nigeria Limited; Dean Musa Nig. Limited; Ababia Ventures Limited and MBR Computers Limited.

“These companies have made useful statements on about N80.4million bribe sums so far detected. They are helping ongoing investigation.

“But the number of the companies could be more than the list at hand. We are still screening more vouchers, transfer details and procurement process. There are heaps of documents to go through. The documents we have got are sufficient for the trial of some judges and a few other accomplices.”

Unfortunately, there's nothing the NJC can do about this.
All corrupt judges will be prosecuted.

But where is Eyitayo Jegede on the list?

Fayose is looking for ways to be relevant with his APC colleagues, because 2018 will be very interesting.

wowmenow:
Buhari well done and continue

Must every mishap in this country be attributed to Buhari, what about the other faction of PDP been involved in this alleged attack?

Jaj-Jay has a dual Nigeria Turkish nationalilities during his playing days with Fenerbahçe. His Turkish name is "Muhammet Yavuz".

He is a legend among the Fenerbahçe fans.

One of the best role model from Delta State.

Under which faction of PDP will GEJ contest as president in the 2019 elections - Ali-Modu group or Markafi group?

If the figure int he article is correct, then it shows must of the people going to China went there with criminal intents.

They should have known that the South-east Asian countries don't condue any criminal acts especially from blacks.

Politicians should not be allowed to move between parties - just plain silly.

So what happens if this statement to seek for a fourth-term in power was given by an African leader?
I guess the developed countries will shout 'blue-murder'.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has announced her intention to seek a fourth term next year despite losing support over her refugee policy.

Merkel, who has already served 11 years as chancellor, said on Sunday that she was expecting the upcoming general election, probably in September 2017, to be "more difficult than any before".

"I thought about this for an endlessly long time. The decision [to run] for a fourth term is - after 11 years in office - anything but trivial," she said after a meeting of senior members of her Christian Democrats.

Merkel is widely seen as a stabilising force in Europe amid uncertainty after Britain's vote to leave the European Union, and as a bastion of western liberal values after the election of Donald Trump as the next US president.

However, her decision last year to open Germany's borders to about one million refugees, mostly from war zones in the Middle East, angered many voters at home and dented her ratings.

The 62-year-old conservative said she faced "challenges from all sides", stressing that pressure from the right was particularly strong.

"We have a strong polarisation in our society," she said.

Singapore and other South East Asian countries have very tough law against drugs and drugs traffiking.

Anyhow with an ounce of brain will detest going to these countries with contrabands.

More info about the Lady Pastor

Pastors and churches of nowadays!!!

[b]One of the chief criticisms of Christian culture is that it’s too judgmental. That sins are often ranked from ‘best to worst’ and judged accordingly.

So when Harlem, New York pastor Desiree Allen went public with her pregnancy and refused to stop preaching as a result of it, many commended her. Allen points out that male pastors often get women pregnant, but can continue to preach because their indiscretion can be hidden.

“After the initial shock was joy. Yet, underneath something else was lingering. Anger? No. Disappointment? No. It was pure and utter dread. Not at being pregnant. Not at whether or not I would be a good mother. What had my stomach turning, other than nausea, was me being pregnant AND a pastor. Let’s face it. The church has not had a good track record of accepting unmarried women who got pregnant. If you’ve been in church for any period of time you’ve heard or witnessed the aftermath. Shunning, slut shaming, being sat down from your position, having to go up in front of the church and confess your sin, etc. etc. No one can be naïve enough to say this type of stuff doesn’t happen in church. An ugly truth is people in church leadership have sex outside of marriage, affairs, do drugs, drink, so on and so forth. Generally, these are not considered acceptable acts. BUT I have seen many churches turn a blind eye to this behavior, because it can be hidden. Don’t ask. Don’t tell. To be pregnant is a very visible indication of a private act and for some reason provides people with more of a need to respond.”

Ultimately Allen decided that she could not continue living in a state of shame and condemnation.

“I realized I had some baggage and I wanted to deal with this pregnancy on my own terms regardless of how people felt or responded. In those first few months I decided I couldn’t carry the weight of others’ opinions and judgments including my own. I also had to confront the ways in which I judged others based on their decisions and actions. I decided I was going to walk with my head held high, because I was proud and excited to be pregnant. Often, when people think you’ve done something wrong or have sinned they want you to walk around with your head low in guilt. Otherwise, how would THEY know you were sorry? Well, I wasn’t sorry or ashamed. Shame and happiness cannot reside in the same place. I decided to only surround myself with those who had positive energy. I knew there would be rough days, but I also knew the good would outweigh the bad. So when the first comment was made about my pregnancy being an abomination I wasn’t bothered, because it wasn’t MY truth. Plus who uses abomination anyway? Can we say antiquated?

I had a choice on how to define my own happy and write my own story. I thought about the women who were belittled in their churches for being pregnant. The women who felt abortion was a better option than humiliation. The girl or young women of a pastor forced into abortion, because the family couldn’t handle the shame. The woman who left the church permanently because the members couldn’t accept her child. The woman who watched the same people who loved her each Sunday avoid her like a plague. The woman who would give up everything to be pregnant regardless of the circumstances and still finds her womb bare. So many women who may have made a different choice if they understood the power they had. If someone had told them, it was ok to make the best choice for them ignoring the outside voices. It would get better. They could outlive this. I understood what some people thought, what some scriptures said, but also the validity of my own experience.”

Allen’s church community ultimately surrounded and supported her, and she plans to continue preaching through the duration of the pregnancy, as well as after. [/b]

His student visa is likely to be revoked after serving his prison sentence - end of his studentship in UK forever.

Just like that, Nnamdi spent one year held in Kuje Prison.

At least he is doing the right thing until the allegation has been judged.

This is what anyone who is alleged to have an offence should do.

case adjournment goes on until 2019....to keep Saraki on his toes and watch his back.
he has to continue to do the bidding of the presidency.
we are been taken for a ride in this country by the political class and the judiciary, how long do they need for this case to go on?

Saw this link in a different forum and might be of interest to some soccer analysts.

With all these huge refunds, why does PMB want to borrow $30bn from external lenders?
