Thanks for setting the record straight to discerning minds.

Those not convinced can approach the EFCC with their facts for prosecution of LASG for wasting tax payers money.

another rainbow FM impostor in making. edo girl my a*s

[quote author=edo.girl][s]Sorry, this is way longer than necessary, but with nairaland, it is sometimes necessary go long.

I was very much involved with the Yacht in question - right at the highest level. I had meetings with very high level officials of the bank that financed the purchase, and as such had access to tons of real and genuine information and documents concerning this yacht. I know the names of the owners, and I was on the yacht up to a few weeks before it was sold.

I can tell you a lot about this yacht.

BELOW IS THE 100% TRUE STORY OF THE YACHT!

______ The 'Princess' Sunborn yacht hotel was constructed around 2002 by Sunborn International Finland.

______ Sunborn International placed and managed the Yacht in London docklands up till 2007 or thereabout.

______ Around 2007, a Nigerian team made up of a former AD - turned PDP (?) Senator and his partner bought the yacht.

______ Purchase price was ridiculously above true market value and transaction was financed by a local bank (name withheld).

______ By & large, the loan was secured on the yacht itself! No other security!! - very common amongst banks during the Soludo bubble.

______ The Senator was able to use his lingering contact with ACN govt in Lagos, to get the then Lagos State commissioner
for tourism to throw govt embrace around the project on the basis that it would boost tourism and raise Lagos's international profile.

______ On the day the yacht arrived in Lagos, thousands of Lagosians and several state officials and the said commissioner were there before TV cameras smiling and basking in the glory of this new toy that would catapult Lagos's international standing to new heights.

______ Unfortunately, by the time it arrived Lagos, the owners had spent so much buying it, they had nothing left to run it. And the bank would not lend a kobo more! To make matters worse, the two buyers fell out over how to take the business forward.

______ Few months passed, then years. Now the yacht was becoming so badly degraded that it risked becoming a health hazard.

______ With AMCON on the rampage, and rumour sipping out about the shoddy nature of the financing of the yacht purchase, the financing bank, wanting to avoid public embarrassment, decided to exercise its right to sell.

______ By mid-2012, the bank put the yacht up for sale.

______ The senator protested placing warning notice in some national newspapers against anyone buying. But he couldn't pay the bank what he owed it, so the bank paid no attention.

______ After several months on the market, the bank found an Asian buyer. The Yacht was quietly towed out of Lagos I believe on boxing day 2012 with most people getting wind only after the yacht was out of Nigerian waters.


Based on what I know, the yacht cost around N4.5 billion, but the bank got back less than 20% of that money.

Moral of the story

1. Lagos State did not invest one kobo in the yacht and so Lagosians have lost nothing
2. Tinubu had nothing to do with this yacht
3. This was a private project that failed largely because of financial incapacity, greed and infighting between two owners
4. The big loser was the lending bank which got back a fraction of what it lent and has no prospect of getting more from the debtors.[/quote][/s]

APC Slams Police For Arresting Anambra Election Monitors

meanwhile they are still languishing in Imo prison.
What about Iyabo Obasanjo and rainbow FM?
You have to give it to Yorubas when it comes to news twisting and they have no shame
Don't be surprise if FFK is behind OP moniker

O boi see fine babes! Though the masquerade looked childish compare to our masquerade

Gullible APC e-fools

Gamji007: This is why you are always accused of being biased!

Do you have a contrary source for you not to agree with Wikipedia?
Anybody with basic knowledge of the Nigerian geographical regions will agree that the statistics privided by wikipedia is close to the truth.

I also saw Yorubas are...... On google/wikipedia, i hope you wouldn't accuse me of spreading falsehood?

eluquenson: Niegria Ethnic groups as at 2013
21% Yoruba
21% Hausa
18% Igbo
11% Fulani
7% Efik-Ibibio
4% Kanuri
3% Tiv
3% Edo
2% Ijaw
10% others

Like FFK like every other yoruba. You people has no equal in spreading falsehood

Some of the names on the hit list are walking copses. Why would anyone want to waste bullets on dead people. The APC is wasting our time with these reckless accusations that only exist in their knuckle heads. With a year to go before the presidential elections all the APC has done is tell Nigerians about a killer squad and a hit list. We need to see their list of economists who will correct the economic situation in Nigeria after the election. A foreign policy team that will improve our image around the world and give foreign investors the confidence they need to invest. A national security team that will research our security challenges and design ways to end the assault on lives and property around the nation. How can they form a government if all they do is speculate. Tell Nigerians how you intend to govern; The mission statement, the vision of the new government. It is not enough for you to tell Nigerians that GEJ is after you because assuming that all those on the list are executed(wishful thinking) the party should continue on their ideology and stated mission. This idea that Nigerians will vote for you in sympathy because of some wild accusation. that PDP is after you is not only childish but stupid. The more the APC talks the more Nigerians believe that they have nothing to offer. At this point the safest bet for Nigerians is the PDP and not the gamble called the APC.

This is the same mistake they made during Anambra election

All the acclaimed mentioned names keep speaking through their aides..produce the hit list since obj proved its authentic and also produce the one term pact Jonathan signed. Even as I hold the presidency accountable in certain areas of concern affecting the struggling masses..mischief makers should be summoned to prove beyond reasonable doubts such allegations and prosecution if found guilty..THE highest office of the land deserve an atom of respect to say the least

Former military Head of State, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.); Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi; a former Osun State Governor and Interim Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Bisi Akande; and a former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, have accused President Goodluck Jonathan of being after their lives.

In separate interviews with SUNDAY PUNCH on Saturday, they accused the President of having their names on a sniper list.

El-Rufai had on Thursday named the top politicians as some of the persons on  President Jonathan’s watch list. When our correspondents sought their reactions,  on Saturday, they agreed with the FCT minister, saying they were targets for being in the opposition to the ruling government.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo had in an 18-page letter to Jonathan, dated December 2, 2013, accused the President of training snipers and putting 1,000 people on a watch list. He also accused Jonathan of having a killer-squad.

But the Presidency dismissed the allegation, swiftly. It insisted on Saturday  that President Goodluck Jonathan had no watch or hit list as being speculated by certain persons.

Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, reacted on behalf of the Presidency in an interview with SUNDAY PUNCH.

El-Rufai, on his Twitter account on Thursday, identified the top politicians as Buhari, Tinubu, Amaechi, Akande and himself as some of those on the watch list. The ex-minister stressed that he was number seven on the list.

“I am number seven on the GEJ (Goodluck Ebele Jonathan) sniper list, so I will only worry when GMB (General Muhammadu Buhari), Asiwaju (Tinubu), Amaechi, Akande, etc, are killed,” he tweeted.

The following day, he added, “They plot and plan, and God too plans; but the best of planners is God. — Qur’an 8:30 … God protects us”

In his response, Akande told one of our correspondents that his life was in the hands of God, noting that the mysteries surrounding previous killings with political undertone had yet to be unravelled by security agencies.

Akande’s media aide, Lani Baderinwa, who spoke with SUNDAY PUNCH on Saturday, said it won’t be out of place if the APC Chairman was placed on the watch list, being the leader of the opposition in the country today.

“You and I know that Nigeria is a country where anything goes and illegal actions are the order of the day. What else can he do than to be hoping that the wish of the enemies will not come to pass in his life,” he asked.

He said the watch list allegation became more substantive as it came from an insider who knew the workings of the government.

“It was not Chief Akande who actually made the allegation (of a watch list); it was the former President (Olusegun Obasanjo) who has access to everything that the incumbent has, you cannot deny that fact. Therefore, it is difficult to say it is not true. The life of a man is in the hands of God, to be or not to be. Chief Akande remains unshaken.” he noted.

Akande’s aide said telling people to hold the government responsible was a wasted effort, considering that “all the murders in the last 15 years have not been unravelled.”

Baderinwa added, “Most of these unravelled murders had the tones and tendencies of state-sponsored assassination. How then can we make noise that they (government) should be held responsible? As far as we are concerned, the life of Chief Bisi Akande is in the hands of God.

“And we know that despite his age, he has more to contribute to Nigeria than most of these people who are planning to assassinate other people for no just cause other than they are opposition.”

Speaking for Buhari, the erstwhile spokesman for the Congress for Progressive Change (now merged with APC), Rotimi Fashakin, said Buhari’s camp was not surprised that the General’s name was on the list.

Fashakin stated that Buhari got 12 million votes on the platform of CPC, a 10-month-old party at that time, and had since remained a nightmare to the President.

He said, “Everybody knows that the name of Gen. Buhari conjures fear in the heart of the President. That is why they would rather wish that he is no longer in the equation. El-Rufai cannot be far from the truth when he asserted the VIPs that are in the wanted list. He is totally correct.

“Jonathan’s presidency should tell us why (former Chief Security Officer to the late Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha, Hamza) al-Mustapha is being kept in the Army.

“One of the things that will be giving the presidency sleepless nights will be how to rig. They used some incumbent governors to reduce the vote of the CPC.”

Fashakin said Obasanjo’s letter to Jonathan did the nation a great service, adding that the President’s response did not clear any doubt.

He expressed his suspicion over the reinstatement of al-Mustapha into the army after 15 years in detention. He said it might not be unconnected with the watch list.

“Knowing al-Mustapha’s antecedent as one who superintended over Abacha’s killer squad, why shouldn’t we be apprehensive that this government is trying to play with fire,” Fashakin said.

He also said it was the duty of the Nigerian state to protect Buhari, as a former Head of State.

Fashakin added, “It will be a shame to the Nigerian state, if the amiable General is allowed to be taken out just like that. It is not for him to protect himself; it is for the Nigerian state to ensure that the dastardly plot does not succeed because he has served Nigeria meritoriously. It’s a good thing that Nigerians have been put on notice. So, if anything happens to Buhari, we know that direction we should be looking at.”

Amaechi also told SUNDAY PUNCH that although his life was at risk, based on the inclusion of his name on Jonathan’s alleged watch list, he was not afraid of death.

The governor, who spoke through the Chief of Staff of the Government House, Port Harcourt, Tony Okocha, said el-Rufai’s findings were real. He, however, said God was his ultimate protector.

Amaechi said the signs that he was on the sniper list were open to everybody. He identified the alleged use of the Nigeria Police to embarrass his office as one of the indicators that he was on the list.

“We don’t own the police or any of the security outfits in the country. They are all controlled by the Federal Government. So, we solely rely on God to protect us. The governor is a hero and he will be a martyr if he dies based on what he believes.

“We do not have any security measure and we believe that God is the ultimate protector of man. When a governor is being hunted with the police and when a police commissioner confronts a governor of a state at will, these are signs of threat to the governor’s life,” Amaechi added.

But while saying Jonathan had personally explained that he had no watch list, the presidential spokesman said any person who felt he had seen such list should feel free to approach security agents.

Abati said, “The President has already addressed that matter that there is no watch or hit list anywhere but if by any chance, el-Rufa’i or any other person feels he has seen any list, why has he not reported to security agencies?

“If he has the list, let him produce it, otherwise it appears he is just talking nonsense. It is sheer irresponsible talk. There is no watch or hit list anywhere.

“People should stop speculating about any list, they should stop making themselves appear to be important when they are actually not important at all.”

The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Adoke, SAN, had forwarded a memo to the National Human Rights Commission, directing  it to investigate allegations of rights abuse contained in Obasanjo’s letter.

The memo, with reference number HAGF/NHRC2013/Vol2/5, was dated December 23, 2013, was addressed to the Executive Secretary of the commission, Prof. Ben Angwe.

Cousim: [b][/b] Igbo had gan...u speaking yoruba here(the GAN) shows aw easy and sweet yoruba is

See madness @ it peak! Please can you translate gan in yoruba language

TribalEAST: The ibos on this thread dont want to admit that yoruba is the easiest language in nigeria simply because of their hate for awolowo... instead they chose hausa .

Onye nzuzu

1)Hausa
2)Yoruba
3)Igbo
Igbo had gan

The question to ask is: what were they still doing under the bridge? What has happened to the remaining of those unfortunates on whose behalf we all make noise? I will not be surprised if they are still under Onitsha bridge, left to their fate for the same reason that the Lagos State Government deported them in the first place: because they are poor, homeless people who live on the margin of society!

This “Igbo this, Yoruba that” argument is unhelpful and detracts from what should be the focus of our attention. I believe it will serve us well if we return to what the real issue is, or at least should be: Whether they are Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba and regardless of their “state of origin”, no Nigerian should be discriminated against in any part of the country on account of his or her social status. It is time we put an end to the on-going nonsensical debate between some Igbo and Yoruba commentators and face the real issues of poverty, development and national unity.

Whither Bob Marley’s Zimbabwe?
In his famous track, “Zimbabwe”, the late Reggae music legend, Bob Marley, had rhapsodized that “every man has a right to his own destiny”, charging that Africa should liberate Zimbabwe. As it would happen, however, 32 years after the country was actually liberated, the people are now crying for another liberation, this time from President Robert Mugabe, ironically the man who only yesterday was seen as their messiah.

It is a shame that African history is replete with leaders who played critical roles in the struggle for independence only to end up as tyrants by overstaying their welcome. That was the point made so eloquently last Saturday in South Africa by Sudanese-born billionaire, Mr. Mo Ibrahim who drew comparisons between African and American leaders: “People in their 40s are being elected to run a country (United States) which is not only the greatest superpower, but has a GDP of 15-trillion dollars a year -- 15 times the total economy of Africa. And here we have somebody in a neighbouring country (Zimbabwe), at 90 about to start a new term. What’s wrong with us?”

The question posed by Mo Ibrahim is one that should agitate the minds of not only Zimbabweans but indeed all Africans. I have just gone through an old (December 2003) edition of The Atlantic Monthly, where there was this interesting story on Zimbabwe which illustrates rather vividly what happens when elected political leaders operate without the fear of being held accountable by the people for the decisions they take.

A paragraph from the ten-page essay will suffice, hoping our leaders, at all levels and in all spheres, can learn something: “Although Zimbabwe is as broken as any country on the planet, it offers a testament not to some inherent African inability to govern but to a leadership as oppressive and inconsiderate of the welfare of citizens as its ignominious white predecessor. How could the breadbasket of Africa have deteriorated so quickly into the continent’s basket case? 

The answer is Robert Mugabe, now seventy-nine (89 now!), who by his actions has compiled something of a ‘how-to’ manual for national destruction. The Zimbabwe case offers some important insights. It illustrates the prime importance of accountability as an antidote to idiocy and excess and the reluctance by African leaders to criticise their own. And it offers a warning about how much damage one man can do very quickly...”
Bob Marley must be turning in his grave.

APC is about to take up their media madness into our Airspace. It must be PDP air traffic controllers that closed the airport just before the APC flying wagon came into the aerodrome air space. Mohamed Lie confirmed it, was he at the control towers when all these happened? The professionally reckless pilot was allowed to land at Bauchi, ‘cos there were no PDP folks in that state. NIGERIA MEDIA, MAKE UNA GROW UP telling childish lies is not journalism, that profession has ethics that govern practitioners.

ilugunboy: Who care to read your links filled with jargon? So you really expect any sane mind to open a link from you?

If we are provide links of crimes here....Nairaland servers will crash with links to crimes committed by Biafrans all over the world

Visit the crime section of NL and any newspaper ...and have an insight of what we are talking about...

SMH

The last time i checked crime section was created on nairaland to hide crimes committed by yorubas or you think we don't know?
I did not expect any sane mind to open my link that's why i exclusively posted it to a clown like you knowing fully well that you must open it and you did, if not how will you no that it contains jargons?

donphilopus: I can see many nitwits running their mouth here! By the time the Yoruba posters invade here, they would be the ones requesting for the closure of this thread.

So many nincompoops.

You should be praying for your poverty lavished cousins not insulting them

Nigeria major problem is not ignorance but Yoruba incompetency
Ping me when the debate start 25E1C9D9

Chylo: My friend, don't you think that is uncalled for? We are all Nigerians. Extreme poverty in Nigeria, would have been a better comment.

No, some people are sleeping waiting when fashola will deport all Igbo from Lagos so that they will take over their property and start living like a king.

I am not surprise. the defected PDP members are now in the majority while the funding members of APC are now the Minority. Nothing has changed. Now those that was not favored will make a u turn to PDP and the madness continue. Can we as Nigerian think of ways to take back Nigeria from these politicians. PDP and APC are two devils formed by selfish and greedy politicians. Do we have independent candidate in our constitution? If yes I have already endorsed my support and vote to the candidate for I am not voting for these two political parties.
APC is not yet a party but a congregation of deparate men after desparate lucre. They will fail ever so woefully.

This is just a preamble and to the real thing. The real battle is not being fought yet as this association of strange bed fellows are going to fight themselves to death later in the year when its time to share political post. Remember there are no primaries in APC but selection.

I siddon dey look…
