Otti's Forensic Audit Uncovers N107.2bn Paid to Contractors for Nonexistent Projects


In this 3 minutes Video you're about to watch, the Abia State Governor, Alex Otti disclosed findings from forensic auditors he appointed, revealing that the previous administration in Abia State paid a total of N107.2 billion to 72 contractors for projects that never materialized, including a non-existent airport. Speaking at Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies in Washington DC, he emphasized the pervasive issue of corruption among Nigerian leaders, stating that some politicians misuse their positions, leading to the impoverishment of their states. Otti detailed the results of the forensic audit, which uncovered payments of N9.3 billion to seven contractors for projects that were never executed, N15.9 billion to 63 contractors without any supporting documents, and N12 billion to two contractors for non-existent contracts. He expressed frustration over the inability to locate the Abia State Airport despite significant funds allocated to its construction.

Despite the the issue being a very sensitive and a heart breaking one, the audience couldn't help but laughed uncontrollably as Otti humorously disclosed how one of his aides advised him to seek native intelligence in locating the said airport, since they have spent time trying to locate the airport and uptill now haven't found it.


He said the evidence of the lack of ingenuity of politicians is how Nigerian states struggle to pay salaries and pensions.

Earlier in April 2024, Otti lamented that the state was plunged into debt of N192bn by his predecessor, Ikpeazu. He further revealed how his predecessor also inherited N34.5bn debt from T.A. Orji.

Florence Ifeoluwa Otedola, professionally known as DJ Cuppy or simply Cuppy, a Nigerian disc jockey and producer, daughter of popular Nigerian businessman and billionaire Femi Otedola, shows off her dancing skills as she joins the trending dance Tshwala Bam. DJ Cuppy's dancing steps and moves were met with mixed reactions, as some feel she didn't perform the dance well while some praised her for trying and for being so jovial despite being the daughter of a billionaire.

Meanwhile, DJ Cuppy announced in March that the video for her new single song titled “Wale” is out, while dropping a YouTube link to the video. Honestly, the song is dope and I think you should check it out.

Dino Melaye, the PDP gubernatorial candidate in the last election in Kogi State, posted a funny video of himself singing a teasing song for Yahaya Bello, the former governor of Kogi State. Dino Melaye started his song in English mixed with Yoruba language while dancing then went into full Yoruba speaking mode as he continued to tease Yahaya Bello amidst the ongoing saga between the former governor and the EFCC.

If you do the crime, you do the time. Simple.

Then they went inside Google’s offices in New York and Sunnyvale, California and staged a sit-in protest.....



These ones were obviously tired of their job😅😅😅

More pictures from the protest

Google has fired more than two dozen employees who protested this week against the company’s cloud computing contract with the Israeli government.

The workers were dismissed after an investigation found that they had staged protests inside Google’s offices in New York and Sunnyvale, California. In Sunnyvale, they entered the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian, according to a post on social media by the group that organized the demonstration, No Tech For Apartheid.

Protesters held banners that read “No More Genocide For Profit” and “We Stand with Palestinian, Arab and Muslim Googlers.”

A Google spokesperson told CNN Thursday that the protests “were part of a long-standing campaign by a group of organizations and people who largely don’t work” at the company.

“A small number of employee protesters entered and disrupted a few of our locations. Physically impeding other employees’ work and preventing them from accessing our facilities is a clear violation of our policies, and completely unacceptable behavior. After refusing multiple requests to leave the premises, law enforcement was engaged to remove them to ensure office safety,” the spokesperson added.

“We have so far concluded individual investigations that resulted in the termination of employment for 28 employees, and will continue to investigate and take action as needed.”

Google and Amazon have a $1.2 billion contract to provide cloud computing services to the Israeli government and military, known as Project Nimbus, according to No Tech For Apartheid, who have strongly condemned the dismissals.

“This flagrant act of retaliation is a clear indication that Google values its $1.2 billion contract with the genocidal Israeli government and military more than its own workers,” the group said in a statement published on Medium Thursday.

Israel has rejected claims it is committing genocide in Gaza, arguing that it is fighting its war against Hamas in self-defense. Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, killing about 1,200 people and taking more than 250 hostages.
Google Cloud and Israel

Google Cloud’s contract with the Israeli government dates back to 2021, when the company announced that it had been chosen to provide “public cloud services to help address the country’s challenges within the public sector, including in healthcare, transportation, and education.”

But the protests followed a report in Time magazine earlier this month, citing an internal company document, that Israel’s Ministry of Defense is a Google Cloud customer.

According to Time, the ministry has its own secure entry point to Google-provided computing infrastructure, which would allow it to store and process data, and access artificial intelligence services. Earlier this year, the ministry also sought consulting assistance from Google to expand its Google Cloud access, Time reported.

No Tech for Apartheid said the article showed that Google had “built custom tools” for the Ministry of Defense and had “doubled down on contracting” with Israel’s military since the war broke out.

The Google spokesperson said Google Cloud “supports numerous governments around the world, including the Israeli government.”

“We have been very clear that the Nimbus contract is for workloads running on our commercial cloud by Israeli government ministries, who agree to comply with our Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy. This work is not directed at highly sensitive, classified, or military workloads relevant to weapons or intelligence services,” the spokesperson added.

Separately, Google confirmed that it is making an unspecified number of fresh layoffs as part of an internal reorganization. The job cuts will not be company-wide, and impacted employees will be able to apply for other open roles across Google.

Google laid off hundreds of employees earlier this year, adding to a wave of job cuts in the tech and media industries, including at Amazon, Vice and the Los Angeles Times.

Raalsalghul:
Only the pastor knows what he is on about.

I don't agree it's satanic and I wouldn't do it nor advise someone I know to do it.

It feels like begging.

It's a marriage and investment/rewards will be shared by both parties.

Africans should learn to start dropping some of these colonial shackles.

But what can we say about some of our culture here too? Like, getting married to a woman in some parts of this country, you and your friends will be made to prostrate to the parents of the lady.

Wait? How come Rihanna is white?

Okay

Hope you got the context 😅

I know that when it comes to how certain things are done, there are always different approaches and opinions, especially when it comes to relationship matters. However, in this video, we are going to be playing soon, a pastor has revealed that kneeling down to propose to a lady is satanic.

The pastor said he discovered from the Bible that kneeling down to propose to a lady is satanic. He said most people think it's romantic: go into the house and propose, "he that finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor. What are you bringing it to social media for? Must everything be on social media?"

He continued, "People now kneel down and propose, how can the Lord kneel down and propose to his subject? It's like saying they want to ordain the king of this country but the King must lie down. The Lord of the woman is now kneeling down to propose to the woman, and tomorrow he wants to be Lord over her. What we think is romantic is actually Satan orchestrating our downfall."

The pastor went on to make further revelations about marriage while making reference to the Bible.

What's your take on this message? Do you think it's of any importance to actually kneel to propose to a lady? Please, we would like to know your opinion on this. Feel free to drop your thoughts in the comment section.

50 Cent, an American popular hip-hop singer, rapper, actor, television producer, and businessman by the name of Curtis James Jackson, known for his several hit songs like "In Da Club," "love-vendor," "Many Men (Wish Death)," "Window Shopper," "Candy Shop," etc., made a startling revelation that got people talking. In a live interview, 50 Cent revealed that he used to give his baby mama $500k. 50 Cent pointed out that he was initially paying Marquise’s mother, his ex-girlfriend Shaniqua Tompkins, $500,000 a year, yet she still demanded more. That was when he took the matter to court and was ordered to pay just $6,700 a month (almost $81,000 a year) in child support.

In this video, 50 Cent said, "I told you I was giving her half a million dollars a year. At that point, she still was expecting more," he continued. "This is why I took her to child support. You don’t usually sign up for child support; I took myself to child support 'cause she wasn’t understanding that I’m already giving you more than you're supposed to get.

“Then, when it turns into the $6,700, that’s not enough and it’s never gonna be enough. But remember me constantly coming to you and talking to you about, ‘She doesn’t want to get a job!’ She didn’t hear me.”

The "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" rapper went further to say: "I didn't make money for women, and no man should allow a woman to exploit them. My son's mother was just feeling entitled to my money. I was giving her $500k a year, but she was still expecting more. Then I decided to make her see that I was only doing her a favor. So I took myself to court and reported myself for giving child support way above average. Then it was decided in court that I should only give her $6,700 a month, and I can't add a penny to that because she can also get a job. Men need to start fighting against gender inequality too, since men and women are all equal. After what she did to me, I decided that I shall never spend more than 50 cents on a woman ever again." - 50 Cent

"No woman should depend on a man because everyone can work. Let that be added to the equality they are fighting for."
The initial interview actually happened sometime in 2022. However, a certain discussion online brought back this interview, thereby generating a fresh round of debate as some solidly supported 50 Cent for taking such a decision to save himself from an entitled woman, while others feel otherwise.

What is your opinion on this? Do you feel 50 Cent should have simply continued giving his baby mama the initial half a million dollars a year just for the sake of the son or not?
