They will keep dying like chickens and at the end, Biafra will remain a fantasy that will never come through. Go and ask the great Odimegwu Ojukwu, he'll tell you better. He even went as far as hiring foreign mercenaries to come and fight for them during the Biafra war but he still lost. Biafra will forever remain a fantasy that will never come to pass.

, it's ok, stop crying.

Cameroon FG lost some men while they lost their region and everything they value including tens of thousands of lives.

Wrong again, two year ago, they only control 0% of their territory, they were asking for a round table with the government, but like Nigeria, Cameroon preferred using force, now ambazonia controls 70% of their territory, you don't beat up your grown-up son, you reason with him, or you end up with bloody nose.

The main reason and the plan for the line from Kano to maradi, is to transport crude from se, ss to niger refinery, built by bubuu, and to transport, refined product from niger back to Nigeria.

paramakina202:
Your Ambazonia allies have sit at home now for atleast five years and counting and yet no freedom on sight.Thier region is completely ruined,their children no longer go to school,infrastructure totally destroyed by war and their people are refugees and taking shelter in the hills of Cross River state.Do not emulate Ambazonians because they have failed with their GHOST TOWN strategy.Igboland is not Ambazonia.

Wrong, the last I checked, cameroon has lost more men than ambazonia, he who said that his only means of survival is by suppressing, subjugating and stealing his neighbors wealth should not be surprised when he starts reaping dead bodies, blood, and sorrows.

farm2008:
Fear of the unknown is wot is keeping people indoor but umuahia is different even the Monday sit at home are not observe by them

Well, in that case you indirectly proved that the present government has failed, because if they are up to their duty as government, the people are not supposed to fear any group, be it bakuharam, fulani fishermen, or even ipod, ripod, tripod or whatever.

It's not only Imo that will enjoy the influence of Mr integrity, Anambra here we come , A PC by hook or crook.

Bank documents show CBN paid Andy Uba N2.4 billion in arms fraud but Buhari regime concealed it
rifnote.comNov 4, 2021 8:37 PM

Peoples Gazette



Besides his arms procurement fraud, Andy Uba appeared to have committed two additional crimes for which it remained unclear whether or not he would be charged.

From the arms procurement fraud that assailed President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, the Central Bank of Nigeria paid N2.4 billion to Andy Uba, a former senator and ruling APC candidate in the upcoming Anambra gubernatorial election, documents seen by Peoples Gazette said.

The transaction was uncovered by the investigative panel raised by President Muhammadu Buhari to probe the $2.1 billion arms purchase scandal in 2016, but the presidency ordered members of the panel to expunge Mr Uba’s name from indicted individuals and entities, according to two sources familiar with the matter.



Bank records obtained by The Gazette showed how the Office of the National Security Adviser paid Southland Associates Ltd N2,440,959,000 through its Zenith account number 5070363103 via the CBN on November 8, 2014. Southland Associates registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) on June 12, 2001, by Mr Uba, registration documents said.

Although a transfer instruction emanated from the disgraced former NSA Sambo Dasuki, the purpose of the transaction was not disclosed. But one of our sources said Mr Uba had told the NSA he could use Southland Associates, a company registered as an oil and gas business, to supply military peripherals. He, however, failed to supply the equipment.

‘JUST T-SHIRT’

Instead, Mr Uba started transferring the money from Southland Associates’ account into other bank accounts run by himself and proxies, records show. Months preceding the N2.4 billion transfer, Southland Associates had less than N24 million in its account, indicating that it was not in any consequential business prior to the windfall from funds originally earmarked for the Boko Haram war.

Mr Uba transferred some of the funds abroad to maintain an aircraft, records said. On October 2, 2014, N40.9 million was sent abroad for insurance of aircraft title services; while N41.8 million was sent for the same purpose on December 12, 2014.

Also in 2014, Mr Uba transferred N372.8 million to a company named Just T-Shirt for undisclosed purposes but apparently part of a rush to deplete the N2.4 billion.

Chike Okeke, Mr Uba’s long-time associate, collected over N700 million into several bank accounts linked to him.



Mr Uba withdrew N15 million and N16 million into his own private bank accounts in at least two transactions, bank records said.

‘Corruption inquiry hushed up’

On August 24, 2015, three months after assuming office as president, Mr Buhari raised the Committee on Audit of Defence Equipment Procurement in the Nigerian Armed Forces as part of his promise to “stamp out corruption and irregularities in Nigeria’s public service.”

But when members of the panel in the months after their inauguration uncovered fraud that involved Mr Buhari’s ally, the presidency moved to hush it up. Only members of the opposition and other strong critics of the regime were arrested, charged and commonly held arbitrarily for months in defiance of court orders for their release on bail.

Mr Uba was amongst those whose roles in the fraud were concealed. Abdulrahman Dambazau, a former chief of army staff and Mr Buhari’s interior minister 2015-2019, and Tukur Buratai, the chief of army staff between July 2015 and January 2021, were also protected from being charged with fraud, our sources said.

A source said the presidency concealed Mr Uba’s involvement because he was seen as the president’s “main enforcer in the South-East,” where the administration is largely seen as unwelcome for its sectional agenda.

Mr Uba did not return requests seeking comment between Thursday morning and evening.

Presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, did not deny that the presidency shielded Mr Uba from the arms probe. Instead, he directed all enquiries to Mr Uba. A spokesman for the CBN did not return a request seeking comments about the bank’s involvement.

The Gazette had in September reported how the United States seized about $6.1 million of the arms procurement funds after a hired arms supplier pleaded guilty to charges including illegal dealing in military-grade weapons and money laundering.

‘Jury still out’

Details of Mr Uba’s failure to declare Southland Associates, the N2.4 billion windfall from the CBN, and the cover-up by the presidency were anonymously sent to The Gazette by someone who claimed to be close to the politician. The files, attached in two successive messages, were sent overnight to the anonymous tips email listed on The Gazette’s website.

Our reporters conducted additional checks that further corroborated the tips as genuine and comprehensive. Besides his involvement in the arms procurement fraud, Mr Uba appeared to have committed two additional crimes for which it remained unclear whether or not he would be charged, documents reviewed by The Gazette indicate.

Mr Uba registered Southland Associates in 2001 when he was special assistant on special duties and domestic affairs to President Olusegun Obasanjo. While senator from 2011 to 2015, Mr Uba continued to run Southland Associates, according to bank documents, in violation of the Nigerian Constitution which prohibits public servants from engaging in private businesses.

Part I, Fifth Schedule, Section of 2 (b) of the 1999 Constitution said that “a public officer shall not, except where he is not employed on full-time basis engage or participate in the management or running of any private business, profession or trade.”

In his asset declaration for 2011 and 2015, Mr Uba listed Sentrex Industry Limited, acquired in 2007 in Ibadan and valued at N400 million, as his company. He also admitted ownership of Linc Nigeria Limited with a tank farm in Calabar.

The two were the only companies the Anambra politician said he owned when he swore under oath before the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

Mr Uba failed to declare Southland Associate to the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) in both 2011 and 2015, as well as in 2019 when he declared his assets after leaving office. Non-disclosure of assets is a violation of the code of conduct law for public officeholders.

The APC candidate also did not respond to requests seeking to know why he failed to list Southland Associates in his CCB asset declaration and if he is aware that running a private business as an elected senator is an offence.

The APC candidate was in 2008 barred from entering the United Kingdom over allegations of corrupt practices.

Ibo!!! like headless chickens, they came to this world factory set to hide their heads in sand like ostrich, or adjust to any situation like frog in heating water, but like someone said a while ago, oga eme ha vum na Anya, the water will soon start boiling.

But it's as astrazeneca that Nigeria is using.

I don turn GTBank representative like play... Ok.
To answer your question, It's not a new account as far as I know, it's just a card. And yes, you apply for it online. You can also visit their website, All-To-Know is there.

Thanks a million, as your promoting them God and people will continue to promote you, thanks once again.

CBTxFactor:
No need to apologize. Yes, you'd need to have an account with GTBank. One that's duly registered for internet banking.

Thanks a lot, is it a business account or savings, and can one open it online.

Nobody wants to help.

CBTxFactor:
Yes, sir, I did. GTbank virtual card to be precise (I was surprised). I still don't understand the rationale behind it, though. And I don't know if there are people here who use it, too, who can confirm what I'm saying.
#Icome&goinpeace

Sorry for asking, been reading this interaction, did you open an account with gtbank first you just ordered for virtual card

Honestly, I really need to start trading on AliExpress but I don't even know how to start, I seemed lost when I see you guys discussing on how you received one item or the other.

I so much like what I see on AliExpress and Alibaba, but the problem is, Nigerian way of doing things is amorphous, skewed and setup towards suppressing and blocking their citizens path to progress, so is their anybody who has experience in using this online trading apps to bring in goods into Nigeria without much hassles, I reside in owerri.

UndisputedFaith:
Kanu was arrogant, boisterous, unruly and pompous in 2015 and in 2021, he is calm, gentle and frail, is this passing a message of impending storm for him.

No, he's calmer, more mature, calculating and ruthlessly efficient.

The Igboes in bayelsa did their sit at home without any molestation, so this government backed group are existing in another medium.

DubaiLandLord:
Nnamdi Kanu is the Supleme leader of the terrorist group called IPOB. IPOB is one of the most dangerous terrorist group in Nigeria, they are more dangerous than bandits... so what do you expect?


Ohmadike will likely spend Christmas in a cage in the Zoo.

[quote author= post=106952267]Corruption in every sphere of the country.

Can you just imagine this wickedness and calamity
Like wtf!
Everything to them is MONEY, MONEY, MONEY!!

*HOME TRUTH*

*On every level, Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria*.
Read along to understand our reasons for saying so......

I run a manufacturing business and a trading business.
The biggest challenge in my manufacturing business is not power, or infrastructure, the biggest challenge is getting honest staff.
Everyone we hire appears to be on a mission to steal as much as possible.
Inflated invoices, recording less than the actual number of units produced.
The worst part of it all is that all the fraud we've uncovered is not done by a single person, it's usually many staff who collude with each other, from production, to sales, to finance, even top management.
There was a year I overhauled management 3 times in a year.........
But me, I've found a solution sha, I now use Indian management.
So competent, so honest and so straightforward.
I thought they were expensive at first with all the visa fees, accommodation, house staff, but now that losses due to staff theft have been reduced to a minimum, and efficiency increased, the Indian management has turned out to be cheaper than the previous Nigerian management.
Now, all sensitive positions involving money go to Indians. Nigerians are only allowed in non-sensitive positions.
I used to criticize companies like Dangote Group that hire so many Indians when there are many unemployed Nigerians, but now, I understand their decision.

My biggest challenge in the trading business is the same, getting honest staff.
The form of trading occurs in the open market, and involves staff having access to huge sums of money running into a few millions.
I know how much I pay to security companies to provide escorts for the staff, not to prevent robbery, but to ensure that the staff go straight to the bank to deposit the money after the day's sales and not disappear with my money.
This money spent on security companies is even enough to be declared as profitWe have to spend on CCTV, biometric scanners and other things that wouldn't be needed if staff weren't looking for the slightest opportunity to steal.

It got so bad at a point that my main criteria for employing staff was no longer competency but honesty.
At least, competency and skills can be learnt, but once you're dishonest, you're dishonest.

We always complain of the economy and how there are no jobs. I know people abroad who would have loved to set up job creating businesses in Nigeria but they can't because they can't get any trustworthy person to run it.

I know people in Nigeria with so much money, they want to start factories and other job-creating businesses but they can't because they are occupied elsewhere and can't get any trustworthy person to run the business.
So instead of investing in the real sector and creating jobs, they'll just buy treasury bills, while the thieves are shouting no jobs.

Many big businesses would have been born in Nigeria if we could engage in partnerships, but we cant because you can't trust anyone.
This is one advantage the Indians and Lebanese have over us in Nigeria.
They can pull resources together and do mega-business, unlike Nigerians that because only one person must do everything since we can't partner, end up with small, tiny businesses.

Start a poultry and they will be stealing your eggs. Some will even go ahead to be killing the chickens so that they'll be allowed to take them home.

Start an entertainment/viewing/game center and they'll be pocketing your money.
On the days you're around at the business, the money realized will be x10 of the money realized when you're not around..... Because they're eating your money.

Lease out a vehicle to a driver to use and watch as he'll finish you.

Start a restaurant, the same thing will happen. More than half of the total food ingredients will end up in their personal kitchens.

Even ordinary provisions shop, they will find a way to steal.

You'll see them with that their evil, wicked saying "na where person dey work, na there e dey chop, na e make dem dey callam workchop/workshop"...... Just imagine, justifying theft at work.

And you'll see these people point their crooked fingers at politicians when they're not any different. I usually say the reason most Nigerians haven't stolen billions of government money, is simply lack of opportunity.

Again,
*On every level, Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria*.

I want us to discuss how this narrative can change.
As I speak there are several Nigerians here and institutional investors who would love to invest in Nigeria but the character of Nigerians on the global stage has been a drawback.

There are also franchises from Agriculture to Automobiles who wish to enter the Nigerian Market but holding back because of this.

Cc : Coach.


God bless you for taking time out to air your view concerning this.
May Nigeria succeed.[/quote]After reading what you posted, I came to the realization that Nigeria needs a sort of recolonization economically, from either Germany or Japan, I mean people who have a record of efficiency and not cutting corners, they have to be placed at all sensitive position requiring monetary transactions and due processess, sensitive government parastertals like inec should not be exempted.
Alternatively, using a reward system enshrined into law like is done in Germany, can also be effective in encouraging honesty, if there is no adequate encouragement geared towards rewarding honesty instead of salary only you can't get what you want.
I established a satchet water factory in the east, after escaping from the north, the biggest dishonesty problem I had was from the drivers, because it was difficult to monitor them, being a small set-up, I couldn't afford CCTV no run computing system that can detect stealing, so I decided to setup a reward system that encourages honesty, I can't say I'm hundred % steal proof but I'm seeing positive results.

Mysticwebb:
How can our attorney general be disgracing us like this. Sit down, use all the time you had, create a watertight case and fairly jail this guy. Is that too much a work to do? Instead, he brought this weightless case, which Kanu and his legal teams didn't even sweat to rubbish.
Well, I trust the lifeless and heartless president we have, if we can't achieve it in fair legal battle, then we must adopt option B, keep adjourning the case until he is tired and forgotten.

In other words, your saying that the head of this government should use illegal means to jail MNK, thus encouraging lawlessness and enthroning acts of brigandage. Well, while digging a grave for your enemy, let it not be deep, because you could be the one that will be buried there, the little restraint that these separatist groups had will completely be eroded and those group will metamorphose into monsters that can't be controlled, it happened in Cameroon and now the Amazonian boys can't be stopped. Learn from history, emotions and hatred blinds men to reasoning, war is expensive, bear it in mind that their is nothing special about Nigerian soldiers that any separatist groups can't replicate, so the best approach is the way humans parents handles their grown-up son, ie, discussing with him maturely, if you continue to treat grown ups like kids, then be ready for the consequences, ilegallity begets ilegallity, starting is easy but who knows when it will stop, the initiators might be at the receiving end by the time it makes it karmaric rounds, by then, ethnic and religious sentiments will be ditched for sensible reasoning, but it will be too late.

The main in the video is exactly the same as the bandit, even when using image matching app it still gives you the same result, but the government can continue to do what they do best, ie lieing.

The guy has balls, I know yours can't stand any more cos you can't impregnate a woman

Dubarudeen my Yoruba Muslim brother. When did our skull mining hide out in Abeokuta become Nnewi?

Ahaa, I thought as much, Dubarudeen, that's his real name, he thought Ogbomosho is now Nnewi, after hitting his black forehead on the ground throughout the day.

GeneralPula:
Just the same way Ojukwu turned his back to Ken saro wiwa during Niger Delta agitation..

These same Yeeboz have been causing lord luggard, instead of cursing Nlamdi Asinwinkwe..

They are betrayals..
They are backstabbers..
They are cowards..

They’re cancer to Nigeria..

But nlamdi asinwikwe is an ijaw man, or are you trying to tell us that paternity is claimed from step father, or do you think Jonathan was named azikiwe by his grandma by mistake.
As for ojukwu and Ken Saro wiwa, what exactly do you want ojukwu to do, my father was stationed in pH when Saro wiwa betrayed ojukwu, and more than three hundred biafran soldiers, and a little above two thousand Nigerian soldiers died in the stand off, now he's having problem with the same people, he betrayed his people to, and you want ojukwu to interfere, or are you saying his head is more important than the head of close to 2300 men lost on both side.

Tomilola360:
and he is your president. you with great IQ u come dey wail. nawa o, this life no balance.

Yes, he is the president because of sharing the same country with majority unlettered low IQ individuals like him, remember, majority carries the vote, doesn't mean minority is wrong.

hardywaltz:
If u call Nmamdi Kanu and ediot which he obviously is, he will send his UGM to eliminate u, so he should be grateful for been charged to court.

Hahaha, now that you called nnamdi kanu an idiot, have you been charged. Be careful what you wish on others, no matter how much you hate them, because you could end up receiving the repercussions in double portion, no head is bigger than the other infront of God.

To stop the terrorism in the north, the federal government has to enact a state of emergency in Anambra state.

Igwe Onyejekwe The Father Of Obasanjo? Obasanjo's Real father - A Paternity Controversy
an Igbo who lived in abeokuta during the 1930s, about the time Obasanjo was conceived. As indicated by The Nation, the cop later turned into a ruler on a South-Eastern royal position. Prior to that point, he had associated productively with the neighborhood network and had a concise illicit relationship with an Owu woman, before his last exit from the South-West. In spite of the fact that the paper didn't state more than that, it left little to the creative mind. Whatever insinuation was left of the preparing Obasanjo paternity debate was passed up the Abuja-based Leadership paper by means of a dooming segment labeled Olusegun Igbochukwu Obasanjo, composed by Sam Nda-Isaiah. Utilizing the photos provided by The Nation as the feed of his review, the journalist discharged the sensation. "The editors of The Nation would not like to state a lot, and they have left us to our creative mind, however it won't be from me that you will hear that Obasanjo's dad was Igwe Onyejekwe, a top positioning cop who turned into the Igwe of Onitsha in his lifetime. During his disputable rule, the position of authority was in conflict among him and Igwe Okosi II, similarly as it is today between Igwe Achebe and Igwe Odukwe," Nda-Isaiah composed.
Not finished with Obasanjo, the feature writer went for the slaughter: "Igwe Onyejekwe, Obasanjo's daddy, passed on after the common war and, similar to his child, was said to be extremely petulant and quarrelsome."The editorialist articulated that the conditions of his introduction to the world and dismissal would have helped make the previous president an unpleasant and underhanded individual. He begged Nigerians never to make anybody their pioneer aside from they know what he is accustomed to. "Also, Nigerians truly observed that notorious insidiousness over the most recent eight years.
It is an insidious man that would expand the cost of a liter of fuel by an astounding N10 on out of intensity, essentially on the grounds that he has a financial enthusiasm for processing plants he had recently sold away. It is additionally an extremely awful and insidious president that would twofold the estimation of VAT on out. What does it cost to be decent and kind and compassionate? Nothing! In any case, that is for typical individuals. Furthermore, Obasanjo is a long way from being ordinary." Closing on a hilarious note, the writer prompted that since Obasanjo cherishes power a lot and is a sovereign of Onitsha, ''wouldn't we be able to just crown him the Igwe with the goal that he can disregard us?''
In any case, would it be able to be valid? Is Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, the Balogun of Owu in Egbaland, be the organic child of Igwe Joseph Okwudili Onyejekwe, the Obi Onitsha Ado N'Idu from 1962-1970? Onyejekwe climbed royal position after the destruction of Igwe James Okosi who administered from 1931-1935. His enthronement came after the report of the well known W.R. Harding Commission, which settled questions among the contenders for the position of authority. On the off chance that the appropriate responses are in the positive, does that imply that the Igbo have incidentally taken their eight years proportion at the administration and the Yoruba have not? Oba Isaac Adeyemi Ojelade-Badegunle 1, the Onibogun of Ibogunland, Obasanjo's presumed maternal old neighborhood, says the talk vendors are either hard or are simply doing it because of inaction. "It is a major falsehood, it is only gossipy tidbits. Obasanjo is a regular Abeokuta man and his dad was an unadulterated Egba man from Owu with three facial checks on each side of his cheeks. In actuality, his dad originated from Abule Elere to Ibogun. They are from Agbole-Olusomi in Abeokuta and I originate from his mom's heredity," the nonagenarian told TheNEWS.
Also, on page 84 of the 253-page account titled: Olusegun Obasanjo in The Eyes Of Time-A Biography of the African Statesman, Onukaba Adinoyi-Ojo, making reference to Obasanjo's paternity, expressed: "barely a year after Ashabi's (Obasanjo's mom) demise, Amos Adigun Obasanjo Bankole died following a short sickness. He was covered at Onigbedu where he had stayed till the end. At 22, exactly when a grin was roosting all over, Olusegun Obasanjo turned into a vagrant." But the talk merchants are a long way from being persuaded. In Onitsha the well known story is that Obasanjo is the result of a sentimental contact between Igwe Onyejekwe and Ashabi, Obasanjo's mom, during the 1930s.
Supposedly, the Onitsha sovereign casted off taking Ashabi as spouse in light of the fact that doing so would hurt his odds of climbing the honored position. Another source told the magazine in Onitsha that Onyejekwe really gave a proposal that encouraged Obasanjo's selection into the Nigerian Army in 1958. Notwithstanding, in Adinoyi-Ojo's book there is no notice of Obasanjo requiring proposal from anybody to join the Army. However the advocates of Obasanjo's Igboship point to an announcement credited to him (Obasanjo) during a working visit to Anambra State as affirmation of their case. Obasanjo had supposedly told a crowd of people in Awka that any of his offspring is indigenously qualified to administer Anambra State. In spite of the fact that the announcement was disregarded then as a drivel political talk, it has gotten priceless with the benefit of knowing the past.
Whatever anybody decides to accept, signs are that the talk plant will stay in overdrive for quite a while

udele1:
I dont know when isreal was killing their own people and forcing them to stay at home against their will.

Be calming down, Israel did more than that before they liberated themselves, read-up about the activities of mossad.
To be sincere, Nigeria should focus more on using round table to sort out their differences with separatist than using force because such groups Will ultimately be forced to aquire weapons, and that's recipe for disaster for both government and separatist. It will start gradually as small violent skirmishes, but government insensitivity will ultimately quicken the process and boom!!! everything will collapse, then and only then will those in charge realize how they birthed a catastrophe due to arrogance.
