The stories for the godz are always the same:

On sighting the eke, the opened fire.
The Eke fire power made they abandoned XYZ and escape into the bush.

My questions are:

1.

When you are armed and overpowered your enemy, in the process of the escaping what stop you from eliminating them or do they run faster than bullet?

2. How come these criminals always escape after gun battles.

I kept wondering

inumidun2010:
Detective Fashola Sighted... Nigerians can study ooooo, wetin carry your EYES go there.. Respect

Been a car dealer for 15yrs so I have eagle eyes for cars.

OOzz:
He is not fake a fake immigration officer.
His crime is using a different name to get the job

He us being refer to as fake because the process of obtaining the job and his citizenship is fake.

The organizers tried for the gave away car but please that car is not even a Tokubo talkless of the brand new they are claiming.

When you have a closer look at the open door, you will know the can have been painted.

Jesus said "forgive them for they don't know what they are doing".

In this case, who doesn't know what they doing/did?

Should Ada be forgiven or the other parties should be forgiving for say all sort of things like after dealing with her, I will deal with her entire generation.

African have power to cause harm but not to use those power to improve our lives.

The Western world use their power to fly and profit.
In African they fly at night to cause evil.

Anyway, as a former die hard fan of WWF (WWE) we know the script can turn brothers against brothers just to sell more ticket for the next match.

We will wait until Royal Ramble.

They have been drinking coffee over this guy head for a village long time, they went as far as his village.

I hope the 20yrs the guy spent in the States, he was able to arrange himself in 9ja with a house or two. They are going to definitely cancel his yankee citizenship and serve 10yrs.

I hope he is not one of those that arrived the States and start saying:

"I don't have anything to do with that country called 9ja again".

I so much love the lyrics "Whereever you go, remember the road that lead you home".

I sorry for this guy sha.

The guy should just celebrate for escaping from sharing his baby or wife with the other guy for rest of his life.

The fear of women is the beginning of wisdom.

This guy just cashed out over #13 million naira. Once he return to Kenya, he will start training for another marathon at the same time eating two fruit a day to keep health.

Government should just do the needful.

I will rather watch and see than say anything about this statement.

The statement may likely base on intelligent information/report he received that is not yet made public.

Very soon Nigeria fuel will be the cheapest.
Electricity will be available and cheap
Vote APthief to get this price change in 2023.

sapphiere:
I pray every female out there. May you not be a victim of rape IJN.

How men enjoy force sex still beats my imagination.

It also bother me because mainly say am not in the mode send my tail back into hiding.

Which report should we believe?

It's only in 9ja that 2 millon barrel of crude oil miraculously turn from crude oil into water.

It's only in this country snake swallowed jamb money.

Only in this country million of dollars cash will be abandoned inside a building in Ikoyi without claim.

I beg, we should just allow the matter to die instead of constituting a panel of investigation to waste additional fund.

If you know, you know what happened to the #28m. Someone is already placing order for a jeep or embarking on their building project.

Let just enjoy the cruise.

In a situation like this, the location should be mention.

It's useless for us to share if this happened in Ghana, Kenya or South Africa. Likewise sharing in Delta while the crime take place in Jos or Kano.

This is very very serious, if indeed a driver can scam the whole nation that means our senators, ministers, PMB family members and loan facilitators have already scam the hell out of this nation.

DSS should investigate all documents signed by the President since 2015 and EFCC should start making arrest from the villa and not in Oyo, Lagos etc.

I am wondering how will someone who scammed the president, will still be praise by the scam victim:

President Buhari, who also commiserates with the Government and people of Kaduna State, described the late Afaka as an honest, capable and reliable person who handled his job with utmost care and responsibility.

If truly the above statement is true that means all the praises from the Presidency are ot from a sound mind.

The government is quick to intervene because this is affecting them too.

Why can't they intervene urgently on the following:

*** Safe drinking water for the masses because they have borehole and water purify system at home.

*** Steady power supply because they have generators, solar and inverter.

*** Good roads because they can afford to fly their family.

*** Security because they have armed security at home and on the move.

*** Education because their children school abroad.

*** Healthcare because the can afford medical trip for their family abroad without stress.

Since no more satellite phone, they are quick to intervene when there are issues with telecom services. Shame on you politicians.q

Change is the only that is constant, if the rumour is true then move on with your life.

At least you enjoy the happenis, A-list parties and gift while they lasted.

I begin to really wonder, what is the purpose and benefit of being a member of United Nation, Commonwealth and the Africa Union.

Why will other nations allow terrorist group to use their country to smuggle weapon to destabilize a fellow member of UN, Commonwealth and AU?

The weapon being used by BH are not manufactured here but are imported from other countries, ship and transported into the country.

If we can close our border just because we want to promote our local rice, while not close some of these to save life and properties.

Why not draft those customs officers, solders and police on the highway from Lagos to the East and South South and from Lagos to Koji to man the borders between Niger and Chad?

Someone somewhere is bank rolling the terrorists locally and from abroad. Yet, we have Efcc, CID. Interpol, SSS yet nobody have been name or arrested. All we hear is "we will expose blah blah blah.

Government official planning to escape when things get worst because you have visa to various countries or have a foreign passport remember wahala no dey blow whistle. It will surprise your that your escape plan will fail you and we all remain here.

1. I believe strongly that 95% of our dreams are the outcome of our though during the day.

2. I no longer believe interpretations of dreams. Here is an example: In Nigeria when you eat in your dream, its believe you are being fed from the.coven while in some advance countries it mean good things are coming your way.

3. On the other hand, I will advise you claim the good things that appear in your dream and reject that which you don't like.

Stop worrying yourself over what you cannot control, no one control his or her dreams.

Rape reduction chapter 1 vs 1

Is the NYSC scheme still beneficial to the nation?
Due to the recent development associated with the scheme, I suggest the following:

1. Government should create mechanized (mega) farming in every state of the federation so that corpers will all be posted to these farm for services. This will result into equal posting of corpers.

2. Corpers should be mandated to serve in their state of origin, this will enable most sons and daughters born outside their state or origin to contribute to the development of their states.

Their governor, their governor. While use task payer money to reject your daughter's appoint? Is she not educated enough to speak for herself? Or is the position too degrading or she lacks the qualification for such position?

So in Imo state, your consult parents before offering a job, what if the parents are not alive, who do you contact.

While Obama was president his daughter worked at a fast food outlet to make money for herself. What did the father do, he encouraged her.

If you need a better appointment for your children Mr. Their governor, make $500 million available and we will lobby for her to be appoint as NNPC group director, Nimasa DG or IMO state embassy to the United nation, we can lobby to create such a position after all people create non existing post in Nigeria for their cronies.

GOVERNMENT OF IMO STATE
PRESS RELEASE

RE: THE APPOINTMENT OF MRS UJU ROCHAS ANWUKA INTO THE BOARD OF FEDERAL COLLEGE OF EDUCATION (TECH) OMOKU

-His Excellency Governor Rochas Okorocha Rejects the Appointment.

The attention of the Governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has been drawn to the publication listing one of the daughters, Mrs. Uju Rochas Anwuka as a member of the Board of the Federal College of Education (Tech), Omoku.

And it is important to swiftly state, with every sense of concern, that the governor had read about the appointment like every other Nigerian because he was never consulted or briefed on the appointment and that is why the whole thing looks suspicious.

To the governor, the appointment was obviously not done in good faith. Whoever was the brain behind the appointment did so out of unbridled mischief. Otherwise, the person behind the appointment would have had the courtesy of either informing the father or the mother.

The truth of the matter is that the governor’s daughter does not need the appointment. The governor has therefore asked whoever was behind the appointment to withdraw it since the daughter would not have needed the appointment, even if he had not become governor.

Indeed, the governor has the feeling that whoever was behind the appointment did it with something else at the back of his or her mind, otherwise the person would have acted well his or her part by informing him or the mother or even the daughter herself.

The daughter and the entire family reject the appointment.

Sam Onwuemeodo
Chief Press Secretary to the Governor

Who got what....

Nigerian businessman Aliyu Abubakar withdrew $54,418,000 in cash.

$466,065,965.44 withdrawn in cash and subsequently funneled to government officials including President Goodluck Jonathan, Attorney General Mohammed Bello Adoke, Minister of Petroleum Diezani Alison-Madueke, Minister of Defence and former National Security Advisor Aliyu Gusau.

$10,026,280 to former Attorney General Christopher Adebayo Ojo

$11,465,000 paid to former Senator Ikechukwu Obiorah

Eni officials also received funds in retrocession (in essence, reimbursement for multiple layers of insurance after a deal goes through). One, Chief Development — Operations & Technology Officer Roberto Casula, received $50 million delivered in cash.




Shell CEO Ben van Beurden picked up the phone and called his chief financial officer hours after Dutch police raided his offices. “I trust you have been informed about what happened at the office,” van Beurden said to CFO Simon Henry on the phone on February 17 last year. “So it looks as if they have some form of coordination between the Italian prosecutor, possibly … with a link into the [U.S. Department of Justice], but we’re not sure yet,” van Beurden said, not knowing authorities were listening in on the other end of the line.

His suspicions were right, and their subsequent conversation sheds light on Shell’s complicity in one of the largest corruption scandals in Big Oil’s history — after the company vigorously denied any role in it for years.

That early morning February raid centered on an oil deal Shell and Italian oil giant Eni struck with Nigeria. They paid the Nigerian government $1.3 billion in 2011 for rights to a giant oil field off the Nigerian coast. After the deal was struck, most of that money mysteriously went missing from public coffers.

New legal filings, emails, and recorded phone conversations reviewed by Foreign Policy showed top Shell executives played a hand in the huge corruption scheme, which reached the highest echelons of the government. The phone recordings and documents from European authorities were obtained by anti-corruption watchdogs Global Witness and Finance Uncovered. Buzzfeed and Italian newspaper Il Sole 24 Or first broke the story.

The new revelations could throw Shell into a world of legal trouble. They also shed light on the shadowy world of oil deals, and how far Shell was willing to go to nab their share of the oil field, known as OPL 245, through a network that spanned former British spies and corrupt Nigerian officials. The tendrils of the scandal reached the highest echelons of the Nigerian government, including former President Goodluck Jonathan.

The latest developments come hot on the heels of the United States repealing an anti-corruption rules for extractive industry companies like Shell, a move Big Oil widely lauded. It also illustrates how resource-rich countries like Nigeria often fall victim to the “resource curse” – where corrupt officials steal the revenue from selling off natural resources, keeping the masses mired in poverty.

One of Africa’s largest petro-states, Nigeria is ranked 136 out of 176 countries in corruption by anti-corruption watchdog Transparency International. Meanwhile, famine spurred by the Boko Haram militant insurgency in the country’s north, threatens millions of Nigerians, including some 500,000 children. The money paid by Shell and Eni for the OPL 245 field is about 1.5 times what the U.N. says is needed to resolve the famine crisis.

The deal centered around former Nigerian oil minister Dan Etete. While serving as oil minister, Etete secretly acquired rights to OPL 245 through a shadowy front company called Malabu, which later funneled over $1 billion of the deal away from the Nigerian people and directly into the pockets of senior Nigerian officials. (Etete was later convicted in a Nigerian court on a separate money laundering probe.)

Van Beurden suspected the Dutch police must have found some dirt in the records their raids obtained. “There was apparently some loose chatter…particularly the people that we hired from MI6 who, er, must have said things like, ‘Well, yeah, you know, I wonder who gets a pay-off here and whatever,’” he said, referring to former British intelligence operatives Shell hired to help navigate the seedy world of West African oil politicking. But it wasn’t just “loose chatter.”

Senior Shell employees openly discussed in email how they knew over $1 billion of their money would go to Etete and others in political kickbacks, according to email records. The company decided to move forward with the deal anyway, denying for years up to this point its employees did anything wrong and claiming it only knew it was paying the Nigerian government.

One email from Shell official Guy Colegate to colleagues in March, 2010 sums it up: “Etete can smell the money,” Colegate wrote. “If, at nearly 70 years old he does turn his nose up at 1.2 bill he is completely certifiable…but I think he knows its [sic] his for the taking. I don’t think he will push it away,” he wrote. That email was forwarded to then-Shell CEO Peter Voser, one of the world’s most powerful oil execs at the time. No records available show he informed authorities or stood in the way of the deal.

Another Shell advisor, former British intelligence service official John Copleston, wrote about Etete’s graft plan to senior Shell executives in 2009 as they began laying out various deals for a share of the oil field. “E[tete] claims he will only get 40m of the 300m we offering-rest goes in paying people off,” Copleston wrote.

For Shell, the stakes couldn’t have been higher: OPL 245, one of Africa’s most valuable oil fields, contains an estimated nine billion barrels of untapped oil, worth nearly $500 billion even with today’s bargain bin oil prices.
Its eventual purchase boosted the world’s fifth-largest company’s proven reserves by a third (proven reserves are a key statistic for shareholders).

The field has been at the center of legal battles since 1998, when Etete first acquired rights to it through his front company. Months before it finally sealed the deal in 2011, Shell had to pay $30 million in a separate settlement on bribery charges in Nigeria.

Now the Anglo-Dutch oil giant was in the lurch once again. “This dawn raid is, I won’t say premature, but it’s, we were not, we hadn’t concluded our own work,” van Beurden said, referring to an internal Shell investigation. They then mulled whether they should inform the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission of the predawn raid, but opted against it because it would be “share price sensitive.”

“At this point in time, everything seems to be share price sensitive,” Henry says on the phone, chuckling.

Shell denied any knowledge of improper payments to Malabu or others up to Sunday. “It is Shell’s position that none of those payments were made with its knowledge,” Shell said in a statement Sunday.

On Monday, after Global Witness issued a new report outlining the findings of the leaked documents, a Shell spokesman appeared to walk back that position in an email statement to FP.

“Over time, it became clear to us that Etete was involved in Malabu and that the only way to resolve the impasse through a negotiated settlement was to engage with Etete and Malabu, whether we liked it or not,” the spokesman said. He added, “we believe that the settlement was a fully legal transaction.” Shell did not dispute the veracity of the of the leaked documents.

Italian prosecutors beg to differ. According to documents from prosecutor’s office in Milan made public, here’s who got what in the pay-off:

Nigerian businessman Aliyu Abubakar withdrew $54,418,000 in cash.
$466,065,965.44 withdrawn in cash and subsequently funneled to government officials including President Goodluck Jonathan, Attorney General Mohammed Bello Adoke, Minister of Petroleum Diezani Alison-Madueke, Minister of Defence and former National Security Advisor Aliyu Gusau.
$10,026,280 to former Attorney General Christopher Adebayo Ojo
$11,465,000 paid to former Senator Ikechukwu Obiorah
Eni officials also received funds in retrocession (in essence, reimbursement for multiple layers of insurance after a deal goes through). One, Chief Development — Operations & Technology Officer Roberto Casula, received $50 million delivered in cash.

In Italy, prosecutors have recommended Casula and Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi stand trial in the corruption case. The Eni board issued a statement saying they retained “total confidence” in Descalzi. Eni also released a statement saying it was complying with authorities but denied any wrongdoing. Representatives of Voser, Etete, and Jonathan haven’t yet issued any statements about the revelations.

Please read till the end and understand how greedy and unpatriotic some so called leaders (from all tribes in the Nation) can be

Its time we start our own upraising against civil lord that are known as civil servant. They are enriching themselves in the name being civil servant. Just review the headline since 2015, it is either million dollars, pound sterling or euro that are stolen.

The so-called servant drive the latest fleet of cars all at the expense of those the claim to be serving.

God so much blessed this nation for all to enjoy the blessing but our so-called servant are bleeding us dry. Even devil the devil is ashame and complaining of the level of corruption and wickedness in the land.

Baba should be allow to return for his medical treatment abroad. Maybe before he return again several changes would have be visible.

Nairalander, while he was away we all witness relative sign of change that was promised. Dollar was nose diving, herdsmen were grazing their cattle peacefully, no single pipeline was blown off in the Niger Delta, in my area we enjoyed steady power supply etc.

Baba, you are a great leader and because we care for you, please let us know when you are returning for next medical leave. Before going, please handle over power to you vice.

HAH:
Honestly Buhari should have just left the presidency to Osinbajo, have you noticed that since he came back he did not leave the villa. And since he came back all we see is fight between his men and the legislature, I think he needs to take care of his ailing health and leave politics, and so far he has shown that presidency is above his competence and capacity.

By the way Iam a disappointed Buharist

Deuteronomy 14:22-28New International Version (NIV)

22 Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year. 23 Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the Lord your God always. 24 But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the Lord your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the Lord will choose to put his Name is so far away), 25 then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the Lord your God will choose. 26 Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice. 27 And do not neglect the Levites living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own.

28 At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes of that year’s produce and store it in your towns,
Is it proper? Should I only pay tithe in church? Please advise maturely.
