You're talking nonsense

Would you have said this if the news was about corruption or drug peddling?

Getat you hater

i don't do tribalism, so you'd never see me bringing up the name of any tribe for no reason. When you say any tribe is Always representing well all around the world. You are either very ignorant or deliberately stirring up something.

Ezeama400:
So he should dim his light so that insecure people with low esteem won’t feel threatened right ?

You must be a joke !!

Nothing is wrong with that comment..

Lolz at dim his light. No wonder they say Nigerians are loud mouthed.

Samuels90:
Lol, you are still throwing your full weight and support. When it comes to stories like this, even if the individual is close to you, you stay aloof because you don’t know what anyone does behind the scenes! You even said death sentence, that is poor judgement.

My full weight and support for who?

Nteogwuija:
I hope you can stake ur life on his innocence.

And I also hope he's ur benefactor. Cuz if he's not, then this ur level of psychopancy would need to be examined.

Where did i say he's innocent?

Beautifulday:
Lol! But you have condemned the other guy without asking for him to be sued.

Uncanny bird

i didn't condemn him. He's already in court and has laid claim to bribing and possible murder. He's also a known fraud even here on Nairaland since 2016/2017. UN has denied him, Osun state has sacked him, FG is denying him.

Ndigbo are great people

NOI is a globally and nationally respected woman. Stop subtly setting up a tribe for online dragging. No sense or gain there.

Beautifulday:
What of Gbaja that is also a fraudster?

Did he not steal his client money in the US and ran to Nigeria?

Sue him and present evidence oga.

Tabletuner:
Does whatever he did constitute a death sentence?

Unfortunately, no. Just an opinion. His punishment if found guilty is a slap on the wrist. Damage done, irreparable and global.

He's within his constitutional rights to sue. However, people like Adeniyi shouldn't even be alive for anyone to bother suing them. Frauds have done a lot of damage to our country.
Funny enough, looking at the timeline, he might even be a reason why America banned Nigeria last year. Because e no tey wey the guy meet Foreign Affairs for letter to carry people go USA.

On 1 September 2025, Mr Adeyemi wrote to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, seeking a Note Verbale to the United States embassy to facilitate visas for seven individuals travelling with him to attend the African Economic Global Convergence (AEGC) Summit 2025.

On 16 October 2025, the foreign affairs ministry wrote to Mr Gbajabiamila and the National Security Adviser (NSA), requesting clarification on Mr Adeyemi’s status.

A letter signed by the ministry’s Director, Economic, Trade and Investment Department, Anderson Madubike, said the request followed Mr Adeyemi’s meeting with members of the diplomatic community on 10 October 2025, without recourse to the foreign affairs ministry.

Mr Gbajabiamila, on 17 October 2025, wrote to the Inspector General of Police (IGP), requesting that his agency investigate Mr Adeyemi for alleged forgery.
In his reply on 27 October, Mr Gbajabiamila told the ministry that Mr Adeyemi’s PFIPC “is fake.” Gbajabiamila prompted the police investigation that led to the arrest and prosecution of Mr Adeyemi.

Suspension of Visa Issuance to Foreign Nationals to Protect the Security of the United States
the Secretary of Homeland Security, and the Director of National Intelligence, identified countries throughout the world for which screening and vetting information was so deficient as to warrant a full or partial suspension of the admission of nationals from those countries 

So if she was blind, does it have to do with carrying out her work? Abi what evidence did you present in court to prevent your loss? These wicked people ehn.

sleek214:
They will upload Shetima name as a placeholder, Shetima will definitely be dropped

Were you one of those who said Tinubu will definitely never be president, or will definitely be controlled by Shettima? Story tellers.

i think Obi's party saw this as an achievement and great feat.

Not news, but most northern elites are guilty of similar.

i really hoped to see and read something that proves or shows. Instead, there was a lot of superstory with the word "allegedly" sprinkled around to use just in case there's a court case. Tiresome

Lolz, Obi has no plans. His interview showed it. He's stopping himself at all cost with his frequent misyarns.

Una don move campaign from social media polls to AI prompt ba? Ever learning but not able to come to knowledge. Body go tell you for January.

Reference:
The debate throughout this week is about how a 'lie' can penetrate to the inner sanctum of government and the Presidency and do so much damage. It is just too unbelievable to be true that he acted ALONE.

That if our government is so porous then how can the average Nigerian trust it with power.

Look Mister, there is no way of white washing the failures of the government at hand. They are either grossly corrupt or grossly incompetent. There are severe penalties for either in sane societies.

I have just listened to some fellow on radio here in Abuja saying that the President cannot personally monitor everything that occurs in government. Every report, every memo bla bla bla....

But this President above any before him operates the largest bureaucracy since independence, particularly in the face of calls for a trim of public expenditure.

There is an army of advisers and assistants in Aso Rock who can spare a little time out of their busy schedules chasing contracts to vett what Mr. President sees and does.

And you know what. He, Mr. President appointed every single one of them. You his supporters have often claimed that, and I quote, '...will he appoint his enemies...'

So his 'friends' like you work for him. Why can't you help your friend save himself from this national embarrassment. Why don't you help your President instead of berating society and expecting everyone to buy smoke.

Oblige me, how did the president or his assistants fail in this? Were Adeyemi's allegedly forged letters to the president?

Samuels90:
No. if the ministry operated for two years and we just got to know it is fake, after they have been receiving salaries, with staffs and it a has a budget. Then there is a problem

There is a problem, no Nigerian will tell you that there is no problem. Truth caught up with lies at last. The case has been on since late last year.

Mr Gbajabiamila also wrote to the State Security Service about the matter. He sent reminders on 27 April and 22 May this year.

At the end, the government messed up. simple and short

That was the first thing i said on this matter.

Which means the conspiracy is wider, affecting even more people than has been disclosed. Perhaps that is why more and more money was demanded from the hapless fraud of a man, to grease even more palms....

Which means we should allow open and thorough investigations instead of jumping to conclusions, or parroting one sided stories.

GeneralOuki:
Against the FG? Are you even hearing yourself? Nobody is defending anyone here, what well meaning and sensible Nigerians are saying is that both the Mathew guy and the FG are crooked corrupt entities that have institutionalised corruption in this dispensation and are demanding answers to how This corruption happened.

This is not a Matthew Vs FG case as far as Nigerians are concerned, this is a case of corruption exposing itself! You corruption defenders should just stop all these nonsense

What we should be looking for is where the security breach started and who allowed it. Did the breach happen from inside, was the person(s) deceived or in connivance? Where was the compromise and who compromised? It is not sensible or well meaning to conclude or take sides without evidence or investigation.

olabrad:
The government denied existence of the agency

The government didn't deny the existence of the agency, they said it is a FAKE agency. For example, fake drugs exist, no one denies the existence. Get the difference.

So, the matter isn't limited to legality of the DG's appointment. Stop acting bliind!

Allow for thorough investigation, will you?

Why did the government deny existence of the agency?

If the agency is fake, how did it reflect in the national budget?!

That's what scams do.

Who formed the agency?!

Your client, Adeniyi.

Who signed its existence into law?!

No one, it is an unlawful fake agency.

Who included it in the national budget?!

Who approved its funding?!

Folks that were either scammed or connived with the fraud. Thorough investigation will help establish that.

Who signed its approval in the budget?!

Explained this already. The boat sailed long ago, where there was a security breach. If for example you attend a big church. If a babalawo or sinner is somehow made a worker in some branch, your GO or Presiding pastor will sign him as a worker. Your GO cannot know every worker's validity or start conducting personal interviews for each. It might later be revealed in an audit or through supernatural means.

Are you trying to deceiive yourself that the CBN opened account for an entirely new agency without proper vetting from higher up?!

You seem to be the one bent on deceiving us all here. i have not arrived at any conclusions but consistently asked for a thorough investigation of the matter. i have also asked for commonsense to prevail ahead of emotions or politics and blame game.

Why do APC supporters behave like intentionally bliind people?!

i have no idea about that as i am not an APC supporter but a supporter of the best president Nigeria has ever had against all the classless opposition on the table. The Adeyemi is APC, are you an APC supporter since you seem to be on his side? At least we thank God you fellows didn't make it a christian versus muslim or tribal fight. Could have been if it was Adamu or Achebe instead of Adeyemi. SMH

olabrad:
1..Did adeniyi create the agency by himself?! Who created it?!
Who has the power to create government agencies in Nigeria?

No, he appears to have done that through a security breach. Once he alleged forged a letter of appointment and was not detected, other steps likely fall in place as explained earlier. They either failed to notice or decided not to notice that letters issued by the Presidency are issued and signed by the Office of the SGF, not the Office of the Chief of Staff to the President. Investigation will help conclude that.

Why are you also not demanding for the questioning of that individual?

Thorough investigation will get to that point, that is all i have been asking for while you have been busy looking for how Gbajamila should be in jail or Tinubu should resign.

Why are you biased?!

Thorough investigation is not bias. Judging without fair hearing is bias.

2. Who approves funding for the agency? Who signed the approved fund in the Budget for the agency?!

Did adeniyi approve and also sign the approved fund for the agency?!

For the umpteenth time, like i have explained, that is how a breach works. Bureaucracy is a huge complaint in Nigeria, we wish there had been more in this. However, Nigeria has been aiming to be like other countries in ease of doing business and business continuity. Once Adeyemi passed/crossed the critical security bridge of writing to the OSGF requesting office space,relying on his previous letter written and documented as an agency, other steps seemed to fall in place easily. If i see you in my place of work with a worker's badge or uniform, i will not likely question you, compared to seeing someone without a badge or uniform. You've sneaked in already, we've being infiltrated. i think i earlier gave you a scenario of someone hacking your email and using it to send mail to your colleagues.

Why are you not clamoring for the questioning of the individuals?!

i don't clamour for anything, i simply ask. i have asked for thorough investigation. In case you somehow missed it, i am asking again for an open and thorough investigation and every guilty culprit should be openly punished with the highest punishment as a deterrent.

3. What's more, you don't have to question adeniyi before questioning the individuals that created the agency, included it in national budget, approved funding for the agency and signed the budget for release to the agency!

So, why are you only clamoring for adeniyi's arrest?!

Adeniyi seems to have scammed, and already self-confessed, so he is a primary culprit and witness and should be fully investigated, ESPECIALLY given his antecedents as a fraud. Every other step must also be investigated. Like i said earlier, i don't clamour. Adeniyi has already been arrested since last year and is currently on bail. He himself said that the case is in court. i am not clamouring for his arrest.

Are you trying to make him the fall-guy for tinubu's and gbajabiamila's incompetence and possible fraud?!

His name is on all the documents and he's not denying it, he's not the fall guy but the major culprit. Every other thing remains an allegation until proven.

Pigstormentor:
Reporting means what..

Gbajagbiamila should go and lay his complaints directly. He doesnt have immunity..and bayo onanuga with his parrot mouth just indicted Gbajagbiamila.

Carry your useless views and face your peers.

Reporting means that he has laid his complaints directly. Think.

Samuels90:
The truth is, there was no security breach. If you look at the story, it looked like a deal-gone-wrong. The issue now is, no Independent credible Agency to check-mate this. This is wrong on all sides. Too many wastage of tax payers money.

And you know this by fait?

tnerro1:
Chai, didn’t know I was talking to you, no vex

Do you ever know anything? People who don't think.

You were there, in fact you buried the dead.

olabrad:
Who signs Budget? Is it president or someone else?

Are you saying the president is do darft that he didn't check what he was signing?!

Are you saying the Senate also didn't check that particular item in the Budget before approving funds for it?!

You are promulgating nonsense!

The Chief of Staff doesn’t issue appointment letters

So if an appointment letter is given to someone by an imaginary Chief of Staff, it’s a forgery.
You should be asking questions about where infiltration happened. Either you have a big bias or you don't understand how real life works.

Will you kill the middle man that you claimed collected 400m from you to give someone, if you kill him, how do you convince people you gave him 400m to give to someone.

Because no bribe happened.

All these talk is just dust. What we should be looking for is where the security breach started and who allowed it. Did the breach happen from inside, was the person(s) deceived or in connivance.
When i heard the guy on Channels TV selecting questions to answer and claiming he was sick, it was not difficult to know what kind of untrustworthy person he is. He clearly knows he has an audience to defend him AGAINST the FG.

bigpicture001:
These are reasons Nigerians should occupy the streets of Abuja for days demanding the president resigns...

But no! They would mutter in their room corners and say it's not their business ND sell their land to travel an be disturbing South Africans who fight their own government for accountability...

Nigerians are not serious!!!!!

Let it make sense please. The president should resign because the office of the secretary to the federal government, or the office of the account general were scammed?
