Published December 1, 2017 The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s 10th prosecution witness, Mr. David Ikpe, told the Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday that the Office of the National Security Adviser in May 2014 paid a cousin to former President Goodluck Jonathan, Mr. Robert Azibaola, the sum of $40m from the $1.2bn approved by the ex-President. The anti-graft agency alleged that the former president authorised the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation to release the sum of $1.2bn to the ONSA for “urgent national security project.” Azibaola, his wife, Stella, and their firm, One Plus Holdings Nigeria Limited, are being prosecuted by the EFCC on seven counts of money laundering before the court. The EFCC alleged in the seven counts that the three defendants unlawfully received $40m from the then NSA, Sambo Dasuki, allegations which they denied. Under cross-examination by the lead defence lawyer, Chief Chris Uche (SAN), on Thursday, Ikpe explained that in March 2014, Dasuki through a memo entitled, ‘Intervention on urgent national security project,’ sought Jonathan’s approval for the release of $1bn to handle a number of sub-heads, including unmanned area or pipeline monitoring installations. He said, again in April 2014, Dasuki sent another memo to the then President requesting an approval for $250m. The witness said the then President approved Dasuki’s requests and by May 2014, the sum of $1.2bn which was by $50m less than the ex-NSA’s actual request, was paid to ONSA account. When asked by Uche (defence lawyer), the witness said the former President’s cousin had explained during investigation and in his statement made to the EFCC that ONSA paid the sum of $40m to the account of One Plus Holdings Nigeria Limited, owned by him “for a security assignment in the Niger Delta.” Giving a background to the payment, Ikpe said, “In March 2014, the then NSA, Sambo Dasuki, wrote a memo to the President titled, ‘Intervention on urgent national security project’ in which he sought the approval of Mr. President for $1bn to handle a number of sub-heads including unmanned area or pipeline monitoring installations http://punchng.com/jonathans-cousin-got-40m-from-1-2bn-approved-by-ex-president-witness/ |

By Richard Ndoma, Calabar Following President Muhammadu Buhari’s directive that state governors should pay their workers December salaries, civil servants in Cross River State have reasons to smile as the State governor, Prof. Ben Ayade, today commenced the payment of December salaries for the state’s workforce. This is not the first time the Professor Ben Ayade- led administration in the state is paying salaries ahead of time. A statement issued in Calabar on Thursday by the Senior Special Assistant to the governor on Media, Mr. christian Ita, stated that the governor’s decision is to forestall the strains occasioned by a hike in prices of commodities during Christmas. He said the early payment of December salaries was meant to enable workers in the state make their Christmas purchases before the usual hike in prices of commodities that occasions Christian festival. “His Excellency, Professor Ben Ayade believes that paying December salaries early will help workers shop for Christmas before the usual hike in prices during Christmas”. This, according to the statement, is a strategy to ensure value for money. “Although the last time the state got federal allocation was way back in October, the workers-friendly governor decided to pay December salaries early as a show of his underlying love for the workers”, the statement concluded. http://leadership.ng/2017/11/30/pmbs-directive-criver-gov-pays-december-salary-november/ |

Jagermeister:You and your Father would still be wiping Nnamdi Cownu' a*s If the president u forgot his name didn't make him run away |
After all he gathered both legally n illegally, now he may loose all. Just wish people could know the meaning of vanity and thread softly. May God help him |

Stella Oduah has sensationally alleged that she was removed as minister of aviation in 2014 at the prompting of Diezani Alison-Madueke, then-minister of petroleum resources. Oduah, now a senator, made the allegation in an upcoming book, ‘On a Platter of Gold: How Jonathan Won and Lost Nigeria’, written by Bolaji Abdullahi, who himself served as a minister under Jonathan from 2011-2014. The book will go on sale nationwide from November 30, 2017 after the launch. In a copy seen by TheCable, Oduah said when the scandal broke over the $1.6 million BMW armoured cars bought for her by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) in 2013, Jonathan invited her to explain herself. According to Abdullahi, at the meeting were Alison-Madueke, who was perceived to be extremely influential on President Goodluck Jonathan, and Anyim Pius Anyim, who was the secretary to the government of the federation. The president seemed satisfied with her explanation that there was nothing untoward in the deal. Alison-Madueke also appeared sympathetic and even promised to speak to her friends in the national assembly and the media “to back down” on the issue. “I thought she had my back. I did not know at the time that she was actually fuelling it and orchestrating all the media attacks,” she told Abdullahi. “I knew all along that Diezani could not deal with having another female around who had the kind of access I had to the president. But she went too far. She thought I was the one who leaked the issue of private jet that put her into trouble with the House of Representatives (Diezani was accused of spending N10 billion on chartered jets). For her it was payback time.” Twice, she had offered to resign before her sack but Jonathan asked her not to, according to her, yet the issue did not go away. “Diezani was paying people to keep the story alive. At the same time, she was whispering in [the president’s] ears that he had to take action,” Oduah alleged. Abdullahi wrote that Alison-Madueke asked the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to arrest Oduah, but the plan was countered by other members of the cabinet. A presidential committee headed by Sambo Dasuki, then national security adviser, eventually indicted Oduah. When the president told her that she had to go, Oduah asked: “Did Diezani ask you to sack me?” Jonathan answered no, but there and then it was agreed that she should be eased out of government. On January 12, 2014, she was removed as minister. Abdullahi, the author, was fired as minister of sport in March 2014 by Jonathan allegedly on account of his “godfather”, Bukola Saraki, who had joined other PDP rebels to decamp to APC https://www.thecable.ng/exclusive-diezani-forced-jonathan-sack-even-ordered-arrest-oduah-says Source: |

Hi everyone, I realize that some guys could stay as long as two hours on a barbing sit. Last evening, I went to my favorite barbing salon and there was this guy who was having his hair cut on one sits. I noticed that the other barber had finished barbing four people and that guy was still there directing the barber up and down. I really ran out of patience because the guy barbing him is my favorite barber. So I left. Personally, I don't think a guy needs all those things like outrageous hair do or make up to feel confident. Before I sit to barb, I will always instruct the barber to use the shortest possible time on my hair. Let's say 15 to 20 minutes. Why would a guy with long future to pursue waste 1-2 hours for cutting of hair? Knowing fully well that a man without education, cash or fame no matter how hard he tries to look handsome doesn't still make much sense. What hair style does Dangote, Bill Gates, Otodola, Obama do? I will like us to chuk-mouth ooooooh, let our brothers leave salon go to hustle abeg. So how long does it take u to have a hair cut? |
The Nigeria Police Force has risen to the defence of the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Idrim, denying claims that the police boss donated two Sports Utility Vehicles, SUVs to the first lady, Aisha Buhari. The force in a statement on Thursday said the vehicles, which it insisted were not SUVs, were given to police officers serving as aides to the wife of the President. The senator representing Bauchi Central Senatorial District, Isa Misau, on Wednesday opened another can of worms when he accused Mr. Idris of donating two SUVs to the First Lady under yet unclear but alleged illegal circumstances. The senator, who has been in the news lately after he accused the police boss of nepotism, tribalism, favouritism, cash for promotion and diversion of funds including involvement in amorous affairs with female junior officers, was recently charged to court for defamation of character and peddling of falsehood by the office of the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF. Mr. Misau, a former cop, who was also accused of deserting the police by the spokesperson of the force, has however maintained that he was being victimised by the authorities for saying the truth. Mr. Misau made the latest round of allegations when he appeared before the Senate ad-hoc committee set up to investigate the allegations levelled by the lawmaker against the IGP. Mr. Misau explained how the IGP gave Mrs. Buhari the two cars, saying the details of the donation were contained in the documents the police boss submitted to the court in the suit instituted against him by the AGF, Abubakar Malami, on behalf of the Federal Government. While Mrs. Buhari’s spokesperson, Suleiman Haruna, said he had no knowledge about the allegation, the Force Public Relations Officer, Jimoh Moshood, said in a statement that the allegation was “baseless and outright falsehood”. “It is pertinent to state that at no time did the Wife of the President and Commander in Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Mrs Aishat Buhari requested (sic) directly or indirectly for vehicles for her use from the Inspector General of Police and no vehicle whether Jeep or SUV has ever been given for her personal use,” the statement said. @PREMIUM TIMES |
