It is a ponzi.

This how you know them,

They only get money from you with all forms of promises. But they dont have any products to back it up, they profess it is a mutlilevelmarketing, there is nothing they are trading only money, that us why use see proponents of the system defending it with passion.


There will always be ponzi schemes like this because it is in the human nature to forget hardships or to want to live in denial or not wanting to take responsibility for their lives.

Do you know their targets everytime?

The poor gullible masses. It is normally designed during reccession to scrape the money left in the hands of the poor masses, leaving them with nothing By the rich and parasitic elite class

Mark my words, it would be catastropic again, now this time around,
The masses will blame buhari again for being gullible.

Proofs of a multilevelmarketing us that there should be a product they are marketing.

But they are only promising you returns on your money, try to fan your greed to flames before they can get hold of you.

There always be people that will fall for since people subconsciously wants to be lied to..

A word is enough for the wise

The Igbo leaders should prove first why they are not greedy

I know that the generality of the igbo people are not buffons like you spewing hatred and prejudice here on the cyberspace.

Change your Leaders, change your People, it is only a fool that wants to try the same way and the same method and expecting a different result. With the highest number of billionaires in Nigeria especially domiciled in Anambra state, i wonder why the igbos here on nairaland shouts and rants, where you have a these rich men who cannot call a sovereign national conference for igbo states and craft a masterplan for how to take your state from the poverty lines, begin to make steps for how to encourage objective and creative thinking.

what i dont still understand is the craving for other peoples lands, their political system without looking inward. With the level of creative thinking in Nnewi in Anambra state, i wonder why they have not made Anambra State a place where people love to go and learn from.

The Igbos have tried war before, and have not succeded, what makes them think that they can try it again this time and expect a different result.

The igbos need to change their political system, there should be a version of ghandi kind of leadership among the igbo race, they need to develop a political sophistication that surpass or rival the then western region of the wild wild west.

There should be a political party that can represent the common man in the Igbo land that has such disciplinne that can maintain brotherhood irrespective of clan or tribe. that only think of welfare of his people and not because they are from his clan.

The igbos have too much power within that i am suprised when they begin to blame others for their woes,

In my spare times i ask one question that why can the billionaires and all the rich people in Igbo land build a university that seeks to be the best in Africa to train only their youths, that would employ the best of brains all over ther world and train them to begiin to harness all their creative energies to develop thair society as a whole instead of only on just one-man wonders inventions at the negelect of the society
Infact the University should train igbo youths only so much that other regions should begin to envy. By the time these grey matters begin to amass under an intelligent and resourceful directions, infact these people will be in great demand all over the world

Your leaders are too greedy and i wish there is a political party that are filled with good and credible people gangup against them amd cause an upset in elections not the way apc and pdp or even apga is doing. I think notable people like Pat Utomi and Oby( I respect this woman a lot) can come togother from a formidable party structure that would be based on research in develop countries like singapore, malaysia and other countries, then use that to form a formidable party manifesto and capture just a single igbo state in the south east and see if they cannot affect the state in 4 years.

These people that are credible can with the support of majority of people in the south can begin a masterplan for the development of the region without relying on the federal government

Before I close, these are just a few of my ideas for these agitations and demands for my people in the south east.

For every supposedly adversity there is a window of opportunity.i.e if pdp or apc in government ignore you, it is a window of opportunity to shine through other political movement. I would use an example of tower of babel in the bible, where the unity is so strong that God himself was uncomfortable, that He had to come down and inspect and eventually decide to scatter theeir language

be like the jews that became a wonder in agriculture, call all your sons in diaspora, call a sovereign conference, begin a movement for the people that is so disciplined that people that the nigerian people will begin to envy

I Love you All

The Hidden Corrupt Chameleon In EFCC By MM, Firdausi

OPINION

Jun 8, 2015

Corruption has become institutionalised in Nigeria, but what makes it worst is the way some Law Enforcement Agents, that are been drafted to fight corruption, have become highly corrupt and unreliable. In this regard, we look at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC for example, through the role its Director of Operations, Mr. Olaolu Adegbite, an Assistant Commissioner of Police has been playing, in order to subvert Justice. As a senior police officer saddled with the day to day operational responsibilities of the EFCC, before now, he was the Head of a Fraud Section of the agency for a period of at least 5 to 6years, in its Lagos Zonal Office.

During this period, Mr. Adebgite became the most popular and celebrated seconded Policeman within the EFCC, he was celebrated both Nationally and Internationally, giving him credit for the Unknown. But the question is; How well do they know this man? Through investigations on him and observing him over the years, it has been revealed that he is the most “Quiet, Careful and Corrupt” policeman in the agency. Mr. Adegbite has managed to put up a strict and incorruptible front, while behind the scene, he collects his bribe through his proxies; CSP. Ibrahim Yidi and Ms. Ronke Shomope Oyeneyin, an Indoctrinated EFCC Regular Cadet, who worked as team mates with Mr. Adegbite in Lagos Office of the EFCC. Both of whom Mr. Adegbite never keeps at arms-length, as he climbs the ladder of his pretentious running of the operations of the EFCC. He ensures that they are given juicy cases and units, while he remains at the background, as they carry on with injustices and corrupt malpractices on his behalf.

Today, when you check Kirikiri Prison, you will realise that only the poor and less powerful ones are locked up there, while the powerful and rich ones escape the hands of Mr. Adegbite and his cronies. This is the pattern this typical policeman has groomed in the EFCC.

However, the Subsidy cases, have a SPECIAL Unit– Extractive Industries Fraud Section, headed by one of Mr. Adegbite’s Game Player; Mr. Ibrahim YIDI and of course, they used this unit as an opportunity to enrich themselves and make noise about a few subsidy suspects, as a guise to be seen working. Here, injustice was at its peak, as they ensured that much were unheard of, while a few are the sacrificial lambs. Do you mind to ask, where was NNPC, PPMC, Inspection Teams and Managing Directors of other subsidiaries when the subsidy happened? Response, you will get from Mr. Adegbite and his team mates. Try to also find out where other Oil and Gas companies that have been carrying on with subsidy for years, and yet, the team invited some of them, while they protected some and covered their names from appearing in the saga.

What about the Houses and Estates which Mr. Adegbite and his inner circle have all over Lagos and Abuja. How about how much he sells out information to the highest bidders and protects them? How about how he deceives the international agencies, organisations? How about the exhibits his team members dispose off illegaly and pockets the monies? Shortly after resuming as the Director of Operations at Abuja office, Mr. Adegbite went into acquiring properties worth Millions of Naira at choice areas in Abuja city. He also ensures a course mate of his, one Csp. Akan Ezima is brought to the EFCC as head of a Unit, to continue in his Lagos style of extortions from high profile suspects.

It is time something is done about the pretentious Hidden chameleon in the EFCC; Mr. Olaolu Adegbite and his cronies.

Also, we cannot forget another dangerous policeman in the EFCC; CSP. Illyasu kwarbai, who has been stationed at the Lagos Office of the agency, carrying on his illicit dealings as if the walls has no eyes, with the same pretence of cleanliness! Meanwhile, he is as bad as his colleagues, negotiating percentages with recovery agents, lawyers, throwing justice and fundamental human rights away, all in the name of how much he can extort from suspects and complainants. He acts like a tough dog and barks like one, but melts at the smell of a bone; Bribe. This policeman, Mr. Kwarbai, bullies the Regular Cadet Operatives the way he wants, once he has interest in a case. A recent instance was the way he had connived with the present leadership of the EFCC, and transferred/sent out a Senior Regular Cadet of the EFCC out of Lagos Office to another Zonal Office, owing to the fact that the same Cadet was well informed with all the illicit corruption and asset acquisition of Mr. Kwarbai within and outside the country. An eye-sour! Mr. Kwarbai’s wealth is thrown all over his state, Kaduna. While his invisible boss; Mr. Ibrahim Magu, an Assistant Commissioner of Police, overseen the Watch-Dog in the agency as the Second in Command, was given a house at Lekki, Lagos State a year ago for a PEP case he had terminated/ Compromised when he was Head of a Section in that Zonal Office. Yet, he parades himself as a Saint, as he oppresses other staff. It’s time for them and many more in the agency to be Investigated, Punished and Dismissed as well from the EFCC and Police! These set of Senior Policemen have passed their sickness Corrupt Tendencies to some of the Regular Cadets of the EFCC, which this new government of President Muhammadu Buhari will have to take its time to investigate and fish out!

Also, report has it that Ms. Ronke Shomope Oyeneyin, heading the Technical Aid Operations in the agency, under the tutelage of Mr. Adegbite, presently divulges and sells information to Drug Barons, as she is in a unit that deals with such information, revealing the name of her present unit. Thereby informing them that it’s a Joint Task Force with National Drug Law Enforcement Agency NDLEA, and other international agencies. And she stands in for Mr. Adegbite on that, which was why he made sure Ms. Ronke was seconded to that unit, to continue her notorious act there, on his behalf. Even as the second in command in that Unit, is more vast in the field, but Mr. Adegbite will not allow for professionalism.

This was meant to be a Unit, created by the ICT Unit to assist the Operations Department of the EFCC, for the ease of investigations of fraud cases. But was later hijacked by Mr. Adegbite, where he ensures they lack nothing, by constantly portraying them as the most hard working and honest to the international communities and states, in order to keep requesting training for them. Except for the second in command in that Unit, they are the most corrupt, and have managed to cover their tracks all the way, courtesy of Mr. Adegbite!

On the other hand, during Mrs. Farida Waziri, the previous Chairman of the EFCC, she even transferred one of Mr. Adebgite’s stooges; Mr. Ibrahim Yidi to a Unit in Kano Office of the agency, due to his corrupt practices at a Unit in Lagos Office. Only to be returned back to Operations by the present leadership of the EFCC.

In trying to use tribal sentiment, Mr. Adegbite tried to penetrate and to deceive Mr. Emmanuel Aremo Adegboyega, the Commission Secretary to align with them, but Mr. Aremo as alleged, was quite smart as a senior lawyer, realizing he was a one man squad among the corrupt management policemen in the EFCC. So, he stayed as far aloof from them, since if you must dine with the devil, a long spoon won’t be a bad idea.

Many monetary recoveries especially in hard currencies from Nigeria suspects, who defrauded foreigners, were never returned to the complainants in most cases under Mr. Adegbite. These monies were made to be registered with the exhibit keeper at Lagos Office of the agency and stylishly collected back by Mr. Adegbite and his cronies. A police Sergeant Damon Yelma who is presently working under Mr. Yidi was used then in the exhibit room under the tutelage of one retired Dsp. Rufus Elesinnia to perfect their illicit activities.

Can Mr. Adegbite account for the roles he played as a Unit head in Lagos Office, alongside one retired DSP Gafaru Babalola and Ibrahim Yidi, under him as their boss. During the Wonder Banks reign, where millions of Nigerians were defrauded, yet Mr. Adegbite made alot of arrests, and not one among the culprits was ever prosecuted in Court. All were given clean bill, after parting with huge amount of millions to Mr. Adegbite and his cronies. Presently, those same clicks including; Asp. Bashir Muazu and Sergeant Agene Ogbemudia, whom Mr. Adegbite used to achieve his gimmicks of Corruption in Lagos Office, are all now part of the Abuja connection in the Subsidy Unit. Even as one Sergeant Odunayo Dada is still positioned by Mr. Adegbite at Lagos Office, while playing his bid.

Most striking of all, was the case of one Sergeant Mustapha Shakiru, another crony of Mr. Adegbite who absconded to the United State of America from both the EFCC and Police, after single handily collected and diverted bribe monies meant for his Principal, Mr. Olaolu Adegbite, running into Millions of Dollars, sometime in 2007. Till date, nothing has been heard of that fellow.

In addition, the present leadership of the EFCC did not only stop at all of these, yet, we must have heard of the corruption and bribery allegation upon Mr. Olaolu Adegbite, the agency’s Director of Operations and one Mr. Okoroma Chile, who is the Director of Legal Department. Both were brought in from Lagos Office of the EFCC by the present leadership, having been perfect impediments to the fight against corruption. They Mr. Adegbite and Mr. Chile were recently enmeshed in a bribery of over One Hundred Million Naira N100,000,000.00 instead, their cohort, the present leadership of the EFCC shielded the two of these management staff, since they were doing the bidding of the leadership.

No wonder during her stewardship, Mrs. Farida Waziri described Lagos Zonal Office, as the most corrupt with the likes of Mr. Adegbite, Mr. Kwarbai, Mr. Chile and others. When Mrs. Waziri previously assumed leadership of the EFCC, it led her to doing a mass transfer of officers from that Lagos Office. Now the biggest question is why did the present leadership return all the notable corrupt police officers, which Mrs. Waziri sent back to the police? Among whom were ACP. Umar Sanda, ACP. Ibrahim Magu, CSP. Bello Yahaya, SP. Alex Ebah and others. Meanwhile, atrocities as presently committed by one acting CSP. Baba Azare, heading a Section in Abuja Office, is likened to those committed by ACP. Umar Sanda when he was a head of Section in Lagos Office in the past.

Recently, we hear in the media that Ex-Governor Murtala Nyako and Sen. Ali Modu Sheriff, both reported to the EFCC on their own, to face all the allegations levelled against them. The truth is that after sending Operatives after these Politically Exposed Persons, the leadership of the agency hurriedly went behind to inform these PEPs to report, as they are being hunted for arrest. This is the level to which the EFCC have been reduced and relegated to the background by the present leadership of the anti-graft agency. As compared to the previous leadership of Mrs. Farida Waziri, who never spared any corrupt political office holder, no matter their link with the government in power.

See a situation why the EFCC must not be headed by a Serving Law Enforcement Agents or Force. Take for instance the Corruption case of Two Hundred and Seventy Five Million N275,000,000 against Sir. Mike OKIRO, the Chairman of Police Service Commission, who is a retired Inspector-General of Police. So far, it is only the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related Offences Commission ICPC, that has been able to invite Mr. OKIRO, despite petitions on the alleged Corruption case sent to both the EFCC and ICPC. Do you expect the present leadership of the EFCC, who is a Serving Commissioner of Police, to start inviting Mr. OKIRO for interview and questioning? That will be suicidal, as the later is the one who decides on the Promotion of the former. But for the ICPC, even as the leadership is not an LEA, the head is a retired Justice, hence has no allegiance to any parent organisation.

Significantly, there are “Credible” Senior EFCC Regular Cadets, who are incorruptible and can handle the supervisory roles of Heads of Zonal Offices and Sections. But because these Senior Police Officers believed in the nomenclature of “EFCC Regular Cadets are Civilians”, hence, they placed even lower rank policemen as heads of Zones and Sections. While the Senior Regular EFCC Cadets, are left out in the supervisory roles. In one of the sections that handles PEPs Cases, exists a good example of a disciplined Senior Regular EFCC Cadet, whom till date he remained the only Operative in that Section who has not been “Indoctrinated” into corruption. Such that he is even been mocked by colleagues with the slogan “You dey Slack”. Also, in other Zonal offices of the EFCC like Gombe, Kano and others, there exists Regular EFCC Cadets who are credible and higher in rank as Law Enforcement Agents, yet they are never given d opportunity by the present leadership to take charge of Zonal Offices or Sections at the Abuja Head Office of the agency.

Among the Regular Cadets of the EFCC that have been so much indoctrinated with corruption as alleged, is the Special Assistant S.A. to the present leadership of Agency,who has lost his sense of reasoning to distinguish his left from right.This fellow, it is alleged that rather than push for the interest of Regular cadets, he amasses illicit wealth and claimed its Inheritance. What language is that? Where was the inheritance before now? I guess it was waiting for an avenue that will pave way for its concealment/ disguise of bribery and corruption, after cases and petitions have been compromised. Therefore, where is the Role Model that the Regular Cadets of that agency should look up to. Is it people like one Habibu Aliyu in Pension Section, or is it another Abdulrasheed Bawa of Subsidy Section, all have been compromised. What a shame and embarrassment to all the supposed and indoctrinated most senior Regular Cadets of the EFCC, who have made themselves “errand boys” and stooges to the senior policemen in the agency.

Also averred, is that the present leadership of the EFCC, is so dubious and cunning. This is due to the fact that they have refused to pay the Allowances and entitlements of their staff, yet the management of the anti-graft agency enbarks on series of secret/ disguised employment of their wards and associates. If we may ask, where do they intend to get the funds, which will be used to pay the salaries of those new staff. May be the leadership of the EFCC believes that the agency is their personal or family property/ organisation. Well, we leave that to this new federal government to unravel.

Dexterity, these were some of the issues which the previous leadership under Mrs. Farida Waziri had wanted to resolve, including the bearing of of Arms/ Weapons by the Operatives of the EFCC. As at now, it was ascertained that only the Zonal Head of Gombe Office, who took it upon himself to ensure that the Arms- Guard from among Regular Cadets of the EFCC, uses arms/ weapons as contained in the EFCC Act.

Today, investigations have also shown that the EFCC has permanent Staff of the agency, like the Current Commandant of its Academy, who is an LEA, Disciplined, Incorruptible, Credible and Reliable. Hence, he can be well entrusted with the Directorate of Operations in the agency, rather he is believed to be given an arms-leangth just to keep him far away from the illicit dealings of the present leadership of the anti-graft agency.

This goes a long way to justify why President Muhammadu Buhari MUST, as a matter of fact and saliently not allow the leadership of the EFCC to come from a Serving LEA, rather it should be a “Retired LEA or FORCE Personnel”.

God Bless Nigeria, amen…!!!

As compared to the previous leadership of Mrs. Farida Waziri, who never spared any corrupt political office holder, no matter their link with the government in power.

See a situation why the EFCC must not be headed by a Serving Law Enforcement Agents or Force. Take for instance the Corruption case of Two Hundred and Seventy Five Million N275,000,000 against Sir. Mike OKIRO, the Chairman of Police Service Commission, who is a retired Inspector-General of Police. So far, it is only the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related Offences Commission ICPC, that has been able to invite Mr. OKIRO, despite petitions on the alleged Corruption case sent to both the EFCC and ICPC. Do you expect the present leadership of the EFCC, who is a Serving Commissioner of Police, to start inviting Mr. OKIRO for interview and questioning? That will be suicidal, as the later is the one who decides on the Promotion of the former. But for the ICPC, even as the leadership is not an LEA, the head is a retired Justice, hence has no allegiance to any parent organisation.

Significantly, there are “Credible” Senior EFCC Regular Cadets, who are incorruptible and can handle the supervisory roles of Heads of Zonal Offices and Sections. But because these Senior Police Officers believed in the nomenclature of “EFCC Regular Cadets are Civilians”, hence, they placed even lower rank policemen as heads of Zones and Sections. While the Senior Regular EFCC Cadets, are left out in the supervisory roles. In one of the sections that handles PEPs Cases, exists a good example of a disciplined Senior Regular EFCC Cadet, whom till date he remained the only Operative in that Section who has not been “Indoctrinated” into corruption. Such that he is even been mocked by colleagues with the slogan “You dey Slack”. Also, in other Zonal offices of the EFCC like Gombe, Kano and others, there exists Regular EFCC Cadets who are credible and higher in rank as Law Enforcement Agents, yet they are never given d opportunity by the present leadership to take charge of Zonal Offices or Sections at the Abuja Head Office of the agency.

Among the Regular Cadets of the EFCC that have been so much indoctrinated with corruption as alleged, is the Special Assistant S.A. to the present leadership of Agency,who has lost his sense of reasoning to distinguish his left from right.This fellow, it is alleged that rather than push for the interest of Regular cadets, he amasses illicit wealth and claimed its Inheritance. What language is that? Where was the inheritance before now? I guess it was waiting for an avenue that will pave way for its concealment/ disguise of bribery and corruption, after cases and petitions have been compromised. Therefore, where is the Role Model that the Regular Cadets of that agency should look up to. Is it people like one Habibu Aliyu in Pension Section, or is it another Abdulrasheed Bawa of Subsidy Section, all have been compromised. What a shame and embarrassment to all the supposed and indoctrinated most senior Regular Cadets of the EFCC, who have made themselves “errand boys” and stooges to the senior policemen in the agency.

Also averred, is that the present leadership of the EFCC, is so dubious and cunning. This is due to the fact that they have refused to pay the Allowances and entitlements of their staff, yet the management of the anti-graft agency enbarks on series of secret/ disguised employment of their wards and associates. If we may ask, where do they intend to get the funds, which will be used to pay the salaries of those new staff. May be the leadership of the EFCC believes that the agency is their personal or family property/ organisation. Well, we leave that to this new federal government to unravel.

Dexterity, these were some of the issues which the previous leadership under Mrs. Farida Waziri had wanted to resolve, including the bearing of of Arms/ Weapons by the Operatives of the EFCC. As at now, it was ascertained that only the Zonal Head of Gombe Office, who took it upon himself to ensure that the Arms- Guard from among Regular Cadets of the EFCC, uses arms/ weapons as contained in the EFCC Act.

Today, investigations have also shown that the EFCC has permanent Staff of the agency, like the Current Commandant of its Academy, who is an LEA, Disciplined, Incorruptible, Credible and Reliable. Hence, he can be well entrusted with the Directorate of Operations in the agency, rather he is believed to be given an arms-leangth just to keep him far away from the illicit dealings of the present leadership of the anti-graft agency.

This goes a long way to justify why President Muhammadu Buhari MUST, as a matter of fact and saliently not allow the leadership of the EFCC to come from a Serving LEA, rather it should be a “Retired LEA or FORCE Personnel”.

God Bless Nigeria, amen…!!!

Pls lets follow up on this, the reason i helped to post this is to let people know that there is a lot going on in this our institutions like EFCC, there a lot of shady characters in those places that our president will have to clean up.

Imagine the rot inside EFCC alone...

The Hidden Corrupt Chameleon In EFCC By MM, Firdausi

OPINION

Jun 8, 2015

Corruption has become institutionalised in Nigeria, but what makes it worst is the way some Law Enforcement Agents, that are been drafted to fight corruption, have become highly corrupt and unreliable. In this regard, we look at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC for example, through the role its Director of Operations, Mr. Olaolu Adegbite, an Assistant Commissioner of Police has been playing, in order to subvert Justice. As a senior police officer saddled with the day to day operational responsibilities of the EFCC, before now, he was the Head of a Fraud Section of the agency for a period of at least 5 to 6years, in its Lagos Zonal Office.

During this period, Mr. Adebgite became the most popular and celebrated seconded Policeman within the EFCC, he was celebrated both Nationally and Internationally, giving him credit for the Unknown. But the question is; How well do they know this man? Through investigations on him and observing him over the years, it has been revealed that he is the most “Quiet, Careful and Corrupt” policeman in the agency. Mr. Adegbite has managed to put up a strict and incorruptible front, while behind the scene, he collects his bribe through his proxies; CSP. Ibrahim Yidi and Ms. Ronke Shomope Oyeneyin, an Indoctrinated EFCC Regular Cadet, who worked as team mates with Mr. Adegbite in Lagos Office of the EFCC. Both of whom Mr. Adegbite never keeps at arms-length, as he climbs the ladder of his pretentious running of the operations of the EFCC. He ensures that they are given juicy cases and units, while he remains at the background, as they carry on with injustices and corrupt malpractices on his behalf.

Today, when you check Kirikiri Prison, you will realise that only the poor and less powerful ones are locked up there, while the powerful and rich ones escape the hands of Mr. Adegbite and his cronies. This is the pattern this typical policeman has groomed in the EFCC.

However, the Subsidy cases, have a SPECIAL Unit– Extractive Industries Fraud Section, headed by one of Mr. Adegbite’s Game Player; Mr. Ibrahim YIDI and of course, they used this unit as an opportunity to enrich themselves and make noise about a few subsidy suspects, as a guise to be seen working. Here, injustice was at its peak, as they ensured that much were unheard of, while a few are the sacrificial lambs. Do you mind to ask, where was NNPC, PPMC, Inspection Teams and Managing Directors of other subsidiaries when the subsidy happened? Response, you will get from Mr. Adegbite and his team mates. Try to also find out where other Oil and Gas companies that have been carrying on with subsidy for years, and yet, the team invited some of them, while they protected some and covered their names from appearing in the saga.

What about the Houses and Estates which Mr. Adegbite and his inner circle have all over Lagos and Abuja. How about how much he sells out information to the highest bidders and protects them? How about how he deceives the international agencies, organisations? How about the exhibits his team members dispose off illegaly and pockets the monies? Shortly after resuming as the Director of Operations at Abuja office, Mr. Adegbite went into acquiring properties worth Millions of Naira at choice areas in Abuja city. He also ensures a course mate of his, one Csp. Akan Ezima is brought to the EFCC as head of a Unit, to continue in his Lagos style of extortions from high profile suspects.

It is time something is done about the pretentious Hidden chameleon in the EFCC; Mr. Olaolu Adegbite and his cronies.

Also, we cannot forget another dangerous policeman in the EFCC; CSP. Illyasu kwarbai, who has been stationed at the Lagos Office of the agency, carrying on his illicit dealings as if the walls has no eyes, with the same pretence of cleanliness! Meanwhile, he is as bad as his colleagues, negotiating percentages with recovery agents, lawyers, throwing justice and fundamental human rights away, all in the name of how much he can extort from suspects and complainants. He acts like a tough dog and barks like one, but melts at the smell of a bone; Bribe. This policeman, Mr. Kwarbai, bullies the Regular Cadet Operatives the way he wants, once he has interest in a case. A recent instance was the way he had connived with the present leadership of the EFCC, and transferred/sent out a Senior Regular Cadet of the EFCC out of Lagos Office to another Zonal Office, owing to the fact that the same Cadet was well informed with all the illicit corruption and asset acquisition of Mr. Kwarbai within and outside the country. An eye-sour! Mr. Kwarbai’s wealth is thrown all over his state, Kaduna. While his invisible boss; Mr. Ibrahim Magu, an Assistant Commissioner of Police, overseen the Watch-Dog in the agency as the Second in Command, was given a house at Lekki, Lagos State a year ago for a PEP case he had terminated/ Compromised when he was Head of a Section in that Zonal Office. Yet, he parades himself as a Saint, as he oppresses other staff. It’s time for them and many more in the agency to be Investigated, Punished and Dismissed as well from the EFCC and Police! These set of Senior Policemen have passed their sickness Corrupt Tendencies to some of the Regular Cadets of the EFCC, which this new government of President Muhammadu Buhari will have to take its time to investigate and fish out!

Also, report has it that Ms. Ronke Shomope Oyeneyin, heading the Technical Aid Operations in the agency, under the tutelage of Mr. Adegbite, presently divulges and sells information to Drug Barons, as she is in a unit that deals with such information, revealing the name of her present unit. Thereby informing them that it’s a Joint Task Force with National Drug Law Enforcement Agency NDLEA, and other international agencies. And she stands in for Mr. Adegbite on that, which was why he made sure Ms. Ronke was seconded to that unit, to continue her notorious act there, on his behalf. Even as the second in command in that Unit, is more vast in the field, but Mr. Adegbite will not allow for professionalism.

This was meant to be a Unit, created by the ICT Unit to assist the Operations Department of the EFCC, for the ease of investigations of fraud cases. But was later hijacked by Mr. Adegbite, where he ensures they lack nothing, by constantly portraying them as the most hard working and honest to the international communities and states, in order to keep requesting training for them. Except for the second in command in that Unit, they are the most corrupt, and have managed to cover their tracks all the way, courtesy of Mr. Adegbite!

On the other hand, during Mrs. Farida Waziri, the previous Chairman of the EFCC, she even transferred one of Mr. Adebgite’s stooges; Mr. Ibrahim Yidi to a Unit in Kano Office of the agency, due to his corrupt practices at a Unit in Lagos Office. Only to be returned back to Operations by the present leadership of the EFCC.

In trying to use tribal sentiment, Mr. Adegbite tried to penetrate and to deceive Mr. Emmanuel Aremo Adegboyega, the Commission Secretary to align with them, but Mr. Aremo as alleged, was quite smart as a senior lawyer, realizing he was a one man squad among the corrupt management policemen in the EFCC. So, he stayed as far aloof from them, since if you must dine with the devil, a long spoon won’t be a bad idea.

Many monetary recoveries especially in hard currencies from Nigeria suspects, who defrauded foreigners, were never returned to the complainants in most cases under Mr. Adegbite. These monies were made to be registered with the exhibit keeper at Lagos Office of the agency and stylishly collected back by Mr. Adegbite and his cronies. A police Sergeant Damon Yelma who is presently working under Mr. Yidi was used then in the exhibit room under the tutelage of one retired Dsp. Rufus Elesinnia to perfect their illicit activities.

Can Mr. Adegbite account for the roles he played as a Unit head in Lagos Office, alongside one retired DSP Gafaru Babalola and Ibrahim Yidi, under him as their boss. During the Wonder Banks reign, where millions of Nigerians were defrauded, yet Mr. Adegbite made alot of arrests, and not one among the culprits was ever prosecuted in Court. All were given clean bill, after parting with huge amount of millions to Mr. Adegbite and his cronies. Presently, those same clicks including; Asp. Bashir Muazu and Sergeant Agene Ogbemudia, whom Mr. Adegbite used to achieve his gimmicks of Corruption in Lagos Office, are all now part of the Abuja connection in the Subsidy Unit. Even as one Sergeant Odunayo Dada is still positioned by Mr. Adegbite at Lagos Office, while playing his bid.

Most striking of all, was the case of one Sergeant Mustapha Shakiru, another crony of Mr. Adegbite who absconded to the United State of America from both the EFCC and Police, after single handily collected and diverted bribe monies meant for his Principal, Mr. Olaolu Adegbite, running into Millions of Dollars, sometime in 2007. Till date, nothing has been heard of that fellow.

In addition, the present leadership of the EFCC did not only stop at all of these, yet, we must have heard of the corruption and bribery allegation upon Mr. Olaolu Adegbite, the agency’s Director of Operations and one Mr. Okoroma Chile, who is the Director of Legal Department. Both were brought in from Lagos Office of the EFCC by the present leadership, having been perfect impediments to the fight against corruption. They Mr. Adegbite and Mr. Chile were recently enmeshed in a bribery of over One Hundred Million Naira N100,000,000.00 instead, their cohort, the present leadership of the EFCC shielded the two of these management staff, since they were doing the bidding of the leadership.

No wonder during her stewardship, Mrs. Farida Waziri described Lagos Zonal Office, as the most corrupt with the likes of Mr. Adegbite, Mr. Kwarbai, Mr. Chile and others. When Mrs. Waziri previously assumed leadership of the EFCC, it led her to doing a mass transfer of officers from that Lagos Office. Now the biggest question is why did the present leadership return all the notable corrupt police officers, which Mrs. Waziri sent back to the police? Among whom were ACP. Umar Sanda, ACP. Ibrahim Magu, CSP. Bello Yahaya, SP. Alex Ebah and others. Meanwhile, atrocities as presently committed by one acting CSP. Baba Azare, heading a Section in Abuja Office, is likened to those committed by ACP. Umar Sanda when he was a head of Section in Lagos Office in the past.

Recently, we hear in the media that Ex-Governor Murtala Nyako and Sen. Ali Modu Sheriff, both reported to the EFCC on their own, to face all the allegations levelled against them. The truth is that after sending Operatives after these Politically Exposed Persons, the leadership of the agency hurriedly went behind to inform these PEPs to report, as they are being hunted for arrest. This is the level to which the EFCC have been reduced and relegated to the background by the present leadership of the anti-graft agency. As compared to the previous leadership of Mrs. Farida Waziri, who never spared any corrupt political office holder, no matter their link with the government in power.

See a situation why the EFCC must not be headed by a Serving Law Enforcement Agents or Force. Take for instance the Corruption case of Two Hundred and Seventy Five Million N275,000,000 against Sir.

That will be suicidal, as the later is the one who decides on the Promotion of the former. But for the ICPC, even as the leadership is not an LEA, the head is a retired Justice, hence has no allegiance to any parent organisation.

Is it still open

Front page things

Yes i would love to date a jew, even you, if you dont mind

Guy put these into a seperate thread for everybody to read, I mean a thread of its own, nice analysis

ControlX:
I have news for APC stalwarts. You don’t win an
election in Nigeria by being the champion of social
media. You don’t win by renting crowds to fill up
your rallies. You don’t win by putting up your
billboards everywhere while tearing down those of
your opponents. You don’t win by master-minding
in the media a false sense of the inevitability of
your victory. When you do all this successfully, you
simply end up deceiving yourself.
You win elections by mounting an effective
ground-game at the grassroots level; designed to
bring out the people on Election Day to vote for
you. Instead, APC strategy was to stampede the
electorate into victory. The design was to proclaim
victory even before the election, laying grounds for
protests and acrimony in event of defeat.
Attempted coup d’état
The APC blueprint is see-through. Present a new
refurbished, suit-wearing and church-visiting
Buhari to the electorate chanting a mantra of
“change.” Give him a Teflon-coated Redeemed
pastor as vice-presidential running-mate. Shield
him from public scrutiny and debates to hide his
weaknesses and absent-mindedness. Gloss over
his objectionable past and pedigree. Mount an
aggressive image-laundering social media
campaign.
So doing, before the PDP and the public would be
up to your game, the election would be over.
Nigerians would wake up on February 15th to
discover to our cost that we had been hoodwinked
into handing over power to Buhari and the Tinubu
cabal.
The APC mechanism for perfecting this plan
entailed bullying the PDP into defeat. In the North,
PDP supporters were threatened and harassed.
Some quickly packed their bag and baggage and
left town. Even Goodluck Jonathan’s convoy was
stoned by APC “democrats.” In Gombe, a suicide
bomber paid a courtesy call on the president’s
campaign rally.
But the killer-punch was to be the disenfranchisem
ent of literally millions of PDP voters. With the
complicity of Jega’s INEC, APC strongholds were
supplied with PVCs: while PDP strongholds were
denied them. Ghost-voters came out of the
woodwork by their hundreds of thousands in
unlikely places like the war-torn North-east to
collect their PVCs. However, in peaceful higher-
population places like Lagos and Kano, non-
indigenes were denied their PVCs, suspected of
being likely PDP supporters.
It is telling that, in all the ensuing brouhaha over
23 million people not yet receiving their PVCs
seven days to D-Day, APC remained resolute that
the election should go ahead nevertheless. This
indicates that it knew the missing PVCs belonged
disproportionately to PDP supporters.
The denouement
However, the entire strategy of the APC met its
Waterloo with the postponement of the election.
With the postponement, the Buhari election-train
came to a screeching halt. Some have argued that
the postponement was a military coup by Jonathan
and the PDP. However, a more truthful assessment
is that the postponement scuttled the APC plan to
win the election by subterfuge.
APC blundered because it refused to entertain the
possibility that the election could actually be
postponed. As a result, it did not plan for that
eventuality. In this gaffe, it was carried away by its
own hyperbole. APC big-guns shouted themselves
hoarse warning all and sundry that the election
must not be postponed, or else. Worse still, they
believed their own rhetoric.
APC is used to making threatening noises. It is all
stuff and bluster. If it loses, the dogs and the
baboons would be soaked in blood. If it loses it
would form a parallel government. If the election is
postponed, Nigerians would not stand for it.
Therefore, it expended all its political and financial
capital on a 14th February election. When it finally
dawned on it that the election might be postponed,
Buhari made an unusual visit to the Council of
State to mount a pathetic eleventh-hour
resistance.
But alas, the APC was completely outplayed. INEC
succumbed to the inevitable and the election was
postponed, and for six weeks no less. As a result,
the APC stampede came to an end. The
orchestrated Buhari momentum came to a
screeching halt. Since then, APC pundits have been
in shock; scratching their heads because, in all
their impetuosity, they had no Plan B.
The APC was banking on the element of surprise.
That is now gone with the postponement. It was
hoping to win the election by disenfranchising PDP
voters. That is no longer possible. It is now
confronted with fighting an election it always knew
it cannot win because it does not have the
appropriate structure on the ground at the
grassroots level.
PDP fight back
Sixteen years in power had made the PDP over-
confident. It seemed to have been caught
unawares by the scripted APC nomination of
Buhari and the gimmickry of choosing a Redeemed
pastor as his running-mate. As a result, an
election that should have been a cake-walk for it
suddenly turned into a tight race. Part of this was
self-inflicted. PDP had a bad set of primaries;
creating considerable dissension within its ranks.
Moreover, the PDP was bested in the public
relations department; allowing the APC to define
the narrative of the election on social media.
Had the election gone on as scheduled on 14th
February, it would have been close but Jonathan
would still have won. But with six weeks delay, the
election will not even be close. Even though it was
ebbing discernibly, APC had momentum for the
14th February election. By 28th March, that
momentum would have dissipated and
disappeared. Even now, the momentum is no
longer there. Buhari is in London on a dubious
visit. APC has run out of breath.
Make no mistake about it; the six week
postponement of the election has effectively
crippled the APC. It is no wonder then that the
party has been grumbling non-stop. In the
meantime, PDP has been able to get a full measure
of the APC. Putting all its eggs in the 14th
February date, which it insisted cannot and must
not be changed; the APC played all its cards. It
put all its eggs in one basket. However, PDP held
some in reserve, banking on the postponement of
the election.
APC’s confusion
What happens now? APC is confused. It is
stretched for funds. It has lost its mojo, scrambling
in panic mode to raise additional 50 billion naira
from donors. Speaking to APC stakeholders at the
party secretariat in Lagos, Bola Tinubu said: “We
have to re-strategise; all of you should go back to
your various constituencies starting from
tomorrow.” This is a belated acknowledgment that
the party now likely to win the election is the one
best able to mount an aggressive and effective
nationwide grassroots campaign.
In that department, the APC is clearly second-best.
The party best positioned to mount an effective
ground-game and mobilize votes at the grassroots
level is the PDP. It has been around for 16 years.
PDP local government councilors account for nearly
70 per cent of all councilors in Nigeria, comprising
6,521 members, making it a truly grassroots-based
political party. The APC, on the other hand, does
not have the nationwide political structure to win
the coming election. To date, it is a newspaper and
television political party. It has yet to build a
formidable grassroots support. It is a JJC party, a
little over a year old.
With all the noise about Buhari, it should not be
forgotten that the man chronically lacks skills at
building political party structures. In the APC
presidential primaries, Northern delegates did not
even vote for him; preferring instead Kwankwaso
and Atiku. He was elected primarily on the strength
of ACN votes. PDP strength on the ground
everywhere in Nigeria explains why Jonathan was
able to win 37% of the vote even in Buhari’s home-
state of Katsina in the 2011 election.
While APC was busy stoking up the press to create
its air of inevitable victory, PDP was busy
mobilizing its local government councilors. Its
Presidential Campaign Organisation brought all its
elected and appointed councilors from all over
Nigeria to Abuja to mobilize them to secure victory
for the party at the grassroots level. In what was
captioned “Operation Deliver Your Ward,” Professor
Jerry Gana re-fashioned them as political foot-
soldiers and grassroots mobilisers for the PDP,
split into six groups according to their geopolitical
zones.
Resurgent PDP
Since the postponement, Jonathan is no longer the
issue. It is once again Buhari; the coup-plotting
former dictator and alleged ethnic and religious
jingoist. Thanks to the postponement, Nigerians
can no longer be panicked into voting for Buhari.
We now have enough time to appreciate that he is
old, and completely bereft of ideas as to what to
do when in power. It is not enough to shout
“change, change.” The question is: change to
what? To this question, Buhari provides a
deafening silence.
In the meantime, the true message of Jonathan’s
considerable achievements in office is now
resonating. With the commissioning of new power-
plants, we are now generating 5,500 megawatts of
electricity: a new Nigerian record. We now know
from PricewaterhouseCoopers that the allegation
that $20 billion is missing from NNPC accounts is
one big fat APC lie. The army is now fully-
equipped for battle. For the first time in a long
time, the Nigerian air force has come into the fray.
The Boko Haram is being bombed to smithereens
up North. There is even talk of capturing Abubakar
Shekau alive.
Within the next six weeks, all that is left is for the
PDP to put its house in order and APC will be
toast. Since Buhari has whipped up himself and his
supporters into an unrealistic psychological frenzy
in this election cycle, it is certain he will end up at
the tribunal, when it finally dawns on him that, in
spite of all the bluster, he has lost again. The fate
awaiting Buhari brings to mind that of Mitt
Romney who was so deceived into believing he
would be elected America’s next president in 2012,
he had only a victory speech on election night
when he was roundly defeated.
When the history of the 2015 presidential election
is finally written, it will be recalled that the
postponement of the election for six weeks was the
final nail in the coffin of the APC.

You are wrong!!
Having sex at what age again is right??
There is nothing like self control for him.. He needs to add self control to the list of things needed for his revival
Peeps dont have sex for years and they still do better. You see the problem with the op now? He needs therapy!! And he should get broke for some time. Lets see if he will sleep around on credit

You are right that he really needs to have self control. He needs to leave the environment that makes him have access to this women if he really wants to be free, only if he wants to do so, and he needs to practise how to free his mind from erotic thoughts, because if he does not, it will begin all over again, it all begins in his mind.thanks

where in lagos, what are your terms, gone are the days graphic artists are treated like shit and paid peanuts. I pity anybody who sends CV's without asking some sane questions. Good graphic artists are rare indeed.
