Although it is a forum, we should mind how we react to issues. Reaction shows maturity, not age.

@ Melancholy.
We are updated.

NB: This is my personal advise to you. Do not put all your eggs in TELPECON basket. Continue with your daily life.

It is as expected.
So many excuses.
Day before yesterday, we are waiting for the tele-copy.
Yesterday, the consultant refused to released the copy of the letter.
Tommoow, it is rumoured that they want to pay off the consultant.
Perhaps next tommorow, they ....
Waiting to be updated.
@ Melancholy: Over to you. Please, he should not be Castigated.

Melancholy:
Sir, don't misconstrued my stance as it is only my own personal belief and not for public consumption cos am only a beneficiary praying to God for a big luck like this grant to come through!

That man dey fear me ehn!


Essence of the type of education l have access to is reflecting on my nature-self qualities; confidence, respect for elders or age-range in like manners...

@ tplayer; I covet your zeal. Abeg, l just want to appeal to you, leave Melancholy alone. I wished this grant thing has come and gone. This will help us to know ourselves better.

He has really tried to defend TELPECON. He is a good guy. Let him be.

@ Melancholy; Please keep the update coming. l dey gbadun you.

Melancholy:
lmagine getting grant from 3 countries; USA, Australia and Singapore,and which the least of these grants was the one that came from Australia. And now the consultant displaying some kinds of ultra-vire powers which is beyond his legal jurisdictions hence the cause of such pronouncement coming from his end. Even though l'm not lawyer, but l understand some basics in law.


last time l checked, the job of a consultant in grant processes is only is for intermediation role between the donor and the organization accessing the grant, but what we are now reading and hearing now is the covetousness of the consultant of failing to disclose and submit necessary documents to his client(Telpecon). This act alone criminal, wicked, and demeaning to the so called expert who should have known better!


However, people are now of the opinion that if, be any deposited monies in Telpecon account presently pending the time the retrieval of those documents would be achieved, they should go ahead with the ones within their capacity to avoid revolution from the beneficiaries cos they've suffered from mental, emotional torture as result of several postponement. And also, is it all documents tied to these grants are in the custody of the consultant?? If so, it should be retrieve with no further-ado.

This is a good update. However, l pray your wishes come to past. Many are really tired and frustrated. l for once wished, this ended soon, so that l can hear word out there. The way many people are really expecting it, it is well with them.

l respect your opinion and pursuit, but don't let TELPECON give you heart attack.

tplayer:
I have seen many, many loony money-doubling schemes, charades, and ponzis, but this nonsense SEM/TELPECON grant takes the biscuit, in my opinion.

indeed, it has lingered too long.

Melancholy:
Good question! You see as young as l am, know a lot about grant and the reason is not far- fetched cos l am an undergraduate studying course related to it. Telpecon is a form networking to allow for NGOs not to resort to duplication and strengthen their proposal having a lot of database to proof to it donor. Having said this, they've been to surmount any spirit of power greediness, and aside that, a network of NGOs must have a leader, so donor entrusting this grant in his hands shouldn't be a problem, sir.

Someone said, people should be expecting disbursement anytime next week. Where he got the information from, only him knows.

Do your investigation properly, get your facts right and get a colleague or friend of yours to act anonymously in telling her husband.

Do not be involved directly.

A lot has been said about TELPECON since 2016.

tplayer:


Thanks, my man.

CBN will want to give Nigerians money and will say it's through some dodgy organisation called TELPECON? One with no technical expertise, reputation, experience etc when banks are there?

For you to be fooled once or a few times by the same person is quotidian; for it to continue to happen for years with new lies every one or two weeks shows your senses have gone to hell in a hand basket.

Na wah ooo

tplayer:


Meeting? In the supposed meeting, they removed again the consultant who was allegedly removed last year. Just recycling old lies.

Lol....So all the noise that payment commences shortly is same old story.

Nigerians won't learn. INSME just crashed, MBA crashed, Bara is comatose. Before them, we had the MMMs


Ignorance, poverty, greed, and wrong application of religion are to blame

Realistically, poverty is the reason why many fall for this scam. Promise a desperate man N1,000,000 just to surrender his right senses, he will gladly do it.

l wished someone that attended the meeting today can share what they discussed here. Let's know more.

This is for the gullible ones to learn.

Why Maina Should Be Granted Bail in Liberal Terms - Angela Okafor

Before I commence this expository, it is instructive to disabuse your mind that the former Pension boss, Dr. Abdurasheed Maina Jumped the initial bail granted him by Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court, Abuja Division.

He did not violate the terms of his bail at any one time, but only sought for medical attention or risked his knee being amputated.

Is it profitable to watch Maina die before his trial? Or allow justice take its natural cause?

Remember It is only a healthy person that can stand trial. Life is sacred and should be treated as such at all material times no matter what.

The above postulations stand tall and unwavering especially when looked at holistically and objectively with the lens of natural justice and good conscience.

As a Public Affairs Analyst of international repute, I have observed that if Dr. Maina wanted to jump bail and abandon his trial, Niger Republic would not be his destination. He would have eloped to the United States of America where he is a bonafide citizen without criminal records.

Therefore, it is a beer parlour argument to say a brainy personality like Maina wanted to jump bail. It does not hold a single drop of water at all.

By way of bringing you closer to true facts, Maina was arraigned sometime in October 2019 on politically motivated money laundering charges by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, after he insisted that the Magu led EFCC should account for the over 237 properties recovered by the Pension Regorm Task Team, to which EFCC was a member.

Shortly after arraignment, he was granted bail by the honorable court on haculean terms, which has never been given even to terrorists and or those with treasonable offences. That bail would scare anyone to death. It was done in such a way that which would be difficult for any normal human being to meet, but Maina eventually perfected the worst ever bail conditions in Nigeria after he had spent more than 9 calender months in unnecessary custody.

However, as a result of the period spent in custody, his fragile health took a turn for the worse and he urgently sought medical attention upon his release on bail.

In October 2020, he was absent during his trial because he had to undergo a medical procedure on his knee, this was communicated to the honorable court, attaching his medical report.

Since the court declined to honour the said medical report, his counsel informed him on the 29th of October 2020 at about 4pm in his hospital bed at Maitama General Hospital, that the honorable court discountenanced his medical report and instead revoked his bail and ordered for his arrest.

If you were in Maina's Shoe, what would you do at this crossroad hour? Would your instinct not tell you that the judge who failed to honour your medical report would do more hurting things to you? Let that be in your mind.

As a result of the order for his arrest, he decided to seek for a better medical facility for the treatment of his knee, and was eventually referred to the Military Hospital in Chad and Niger Republic. His family opted for Niger due to the insurgency along the Chad axis, where the knee surgery was successfully carried out.

He was recuperating from the surgery at the Military Hospital in Niamey when his Doctor informed him of presence of Authorities making enquires about him, and offered to take him to a secure place through a route, but he refused to run. He thereafter placed several calls to his larger Family where a decision was made to allow the Authorities see him, where they discussed at length and he subsequently agreed to follow them back to Abuja then taken into custody.

His detention in Kuje Correctional Center has worsened his medical condition which continues to deteriorate to a point where death is very near. "This man did not kill anyone, nor did he rob anyone or any institution". "Why do we keep hearing Maina Maina instead of all the other members of the Pension Reform Task Team"?

What shall we gain if we lose this amazon to the cold hands of death before his trial is successfully completed?


For the avoidance of doubt, Maina's lawyer, Anayo Adibe some time ago made a disclosure at a press briefing in Abuja that Maina has been taken to the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada after his serious medical complications had failed to respond to treatment at the Kuje Correctional facility.

In his exact words, he said: “I have gone to see him. He is having serious health challenges. From my findings Maina suffered partial stroke as a result of hitting his head on the floor when he collapsed in front of Justice Abang and Lawyers in the open court. The Doctor at the Federal High Court had checked his blood pressure after the collapse which had a reading of 242/150 and that also caused the slight bleeding in the brain. His hypertension is life-threatening.”

"He has been stooling uncontrollably for six weeks now and they have administered all the drugs available to them but he is still stooling today, and can hardly move his legs and other parts of his body."

"I can confirm that he is now being attended to at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital in Gwagwalada but I learnt they have taken him back to the correctional facility two days ago to continue his treatment."

"Series of scans were run on him including MRI, CT SCAN , ECG, KIDNEY, LIVER TESTS and others to determine the true state of his health." “ The result is alarming.

He said "Although the Leadership of the Correctional Service have tried very well, to keep Maina’s health under control, it is unfortunate the facility is not equipped enough to give him adequate medical attention, hence an urgent need for the court to grant Maina bail so that he can attend to his health problem."

In a recent Phone Conversation, Mainas Lawyer Barr Anayo had told journalists that Maina's health worsened very badly, when he heard that his only son cannot be accounted for by the EFCC and or police, even after his car was recently recovered from the Sokoto State Police Command, without any information about his whereabout.

To track what Maina's lawyer said about his client's health condition, I discovered that Maina made several visits to the said hospital, following life-threatening ailments. In fact

Let me posit further that except the honorable Court grants Maina a fresh bail on health grounds in the most liberal terms, for the purpose of receiving urgent medical attention, where his family can offer their assistance to him in a well equipped Hospital of their choice, I fear for his precious life.

Nothing stops the court from placing him on surveillance which may include regular phone calls to the Court Registrar, or visit to the Court once a week to sign a standing register , and registering with court whatever health facility he will be admitted to, anywhere in Nigeria.

To avoid miscarriage of Justice, I implore Justice Okon Abang to handle Maina's case with uthmost wisdom and caution, and grant him bail in favourable terms, which are achievable in few days, in view of his deteriorating health condition because the case against him is even politically inclined, which is a public knowledge..

How can a person who worked hard to recover N1.3TR for the Buhari administration, as confirmed by the Authorities with an agreement to be paid N65b. Being 5% whistle blowers fees, be humiliated in this Government of anti corruption, instead of being rewarded? Posterity will surely judge us and show the world the truth behind these seemingly retinue of politically motivated trumped up charges being meted against innocent and patriotic Nigerian. The Almighty shall also judge us.

The enemies of this administration are the ones behind Maina's travails because they do not want President Buhari to succeed, and do not want Maina to reveal where other such funds are being hidden. Am very sure hundreds of Millions of Naira has been spent by the powers that be in using the Media to destroy a hard earned image by a patriotic Nigerian in the person of Abdulrashid Maina.

I have done my findings which took me to some parts of this country and I have also been opportuned to meet responsible public officers and Senior Security agents who worked with Maina, where I concluded that Maina has the brains and technical expertise to recover the much needed funds to run this administration instead of borrowing money up and down.

Truth is bitter but it is a universal commodity valued by people of integrity. I am not a Northerner and haven't met Maina, but the truth is sacrosanct and need to be told.

Heard from one who is neck-deep in it that the money to be shared is no longer $700 billion but around $175 billion (64 trillion naira)

FG budget no near 64 trillion naira at all ooo.

The sum should have been red flag number one.

tplayer:


Haha, next week? How Elomama succeeded in fooling millions is what I am studying sha. Dude's a legend.

What pains me in his case is hiding under religion. That makes the oppressed and hungry believers to fall easily.

He should separate his pranks from religion. GOD is watching.

tplayer:


Yes, he sensed danger.

Right now, I don't see any big danger to his "grant business" because the levels of ignorance, poverty, and greed walking around majestically are not small or ordinary.

Let's see what happens next week, as the promise is payment from next week.

We have heard this before, abi?

tplayer:
Another guff to keep donors(aka beneficiaries) busy is loading...Note that there is no "last update before disbursement" in the literal sense, "last update" na d last one you receive before u say my mumu don do; I give up.

Perhaps he has sensed danger, hence, the need to reassure the foot soldiers. That is the reason for the meeting. February will become March, by tommoow!

The wait continues

tplayer:


It won't stop now. I'm enjoying the comedy.

They are saying there will be a meeting of high-ranking bozos this Friday. Obviously for another round of claptrap to feed the ever-gullible donors(aka beneficiaries).

The meeting itself is likely just a ruse.

Deceit of the highest order.
Let's hear from them again.

selingel:


You are correct!
I sense same.

Meanwhile, l am baffled also on how they have been accused of creating more groups, even when previous beneficiaries have not been settled.

I wished l could see the head of TELPECON. l would have asked him some questions based on this grant and reason for this deceit.

tplayer:


Only few are truly truly tired. Most, with the wrong interpretation of religion, have continued to hold on.

If scammer-in-chief (Elomama) says December 2022, u will hear things like " God bless elomama", "let's be patient", " they are working on it", etc.

Perhaps when people drop dead because of unrealistic expectations, this will stop.

ENIGMATIC2023:


You and your friend are gullible idiots

You are very pathetic. Go use your drugs, before you start roaming. l can't remember insulting anyone directly here.

You should have been flushed on a pad rather than been born. slowpoke!

tplayer:


For where. Even if CBN releases another statement you will hear "I will wait for Elomama's voice note."

Government is releasing saving bonds monthly through CBN to borrow from Nigerians, yet one supposed graduate is expecting that same CBN to transfer money to one nonentity.

Finally, there are probably more fools in Nigeria than there are people

On point with your last paragraph.

tplayer:


When u start hearing "from a reliable source", then it's time to go home.

How many times do you want to see?

Wise up! it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that there is no money anywhere.

My dear, many do not see it your way. Their lives depend on this grant. That is the reason l too believe that one government agency should have just come up and debunked this claim.

pek:
If we compile all the stories we have heard about this grant, it will be a best seller.

l didn't want to say this, you need to see how the lady was running after any beep on her phone, expecting alert yesterday. ln fact, if she was with her husband, the man would have suspected infidelity.

Someone told a colleague of mine last week Friday, that payment commences 8am Monday (today).

No information yet from any source. Let see what tommoow holds.

Any latest news? l hope it is not going SEM way...
