Politics › How Did Majority Christian/Muslim Nation Become Money Laundering Capital? by kanupapilo(op): 11:50am On Jan 26, 2025

How did majority Christian/Muslim nation become the money laundering and corruption capital of the world. There is a church and mosque in every street corner and yet the morals and values preached about seem to have little effect on society.

Nigeria is a money laundering and corruption enterprise. Every month there is massive looting at federal, state and local level and all government parastatals from Customs, NPA,NNPC,EFCC just to name a few.

Excerpt from Premium Times

PREMIUM TIMES contacted Mr Obi with written questions and had an in-person interview with him weeks ahead of this publication.

The former governor admitted that he did not declare these companies and the funds and properties they hold in his asset declaration filings with the Code of Conduct Bureau, the Nigerian government agency that deals with the issues of corruption, conflict of interest, and abuse of office by public servants.

He said he was unaware that the law expected him to declare assets or companies he jointly owns with his family members or anyone else
PREMIUM TIMES investigation also found that Mr Obi breached this constitutional provision on assets declaration. We can authoritatively report that Mr Obi did not declare to the Code of Conduct Bureau the companies he tucked away in offshore secrecy havens.

Mr Obi caused to be created for him a structure of secrecy that had previously, until the Pandora Papers investigation, meant he could continue to hold foreign assets in a way that breaches Nigeria’s law without the knowledge of authorities in the country. In an extra layer of secrecy, Mr Obi used paid nominees as directors, while he remains the ultimate beneficial owner, making it nearly impossible to discover his interests in those companies but we obtained rare incorporation documents proving his link.

Otherwise, Mr Obi could have forever hoped to continue to hold the assets, that he did not declare when he had a statutory obligation to do so as a governor, without any authority or the public calling him to account.

In his response, Mr Obi ridiculously suggested that those offshore companies and assets are jointly owned with his family members and that he was not under obligation to declare companies jointly owned. “I don’t declare what is owned with others,” Mr Obi told PREMIUM TIMES. “If my family owns something I won’t declare it. I didn’t declare anything I jointly owed with anyone.”

This is contrary to the position of the Constitution, which specifies the declaration of all assets, whether jointly or partly owned, PREMIUM TIMES’ reporters told Mr Obi. He said he was not aware of that provision of the law.

Nevertheless, leaked records show Mr Obi is the sole ultimate beneficial owner of the offshore companies. So he did not even jointly own it with anyone.

Let the Botswana or Namibia financial crime agency that have credibility investigate him. EFCC has zero credibility when almost all its past Chairmen from Magu to Ibrahim Lamorde have been investigated for corruption and staff have been indicted for embezzling recovered loot.

EFCC that chases only Yahoo boys and leaves corrupt politicians that loot billions in APC, PDP and APGA has zero credibility.

Do you have inferiority complex...?

Firstly you haven't heard Victor's side of the story yet. This is still an allegation. You can't jump into conclusions. Don't do that.

Secondly I can point out numerous stories of non nigerians that have done worse things. Including white celebrities.

What brings wizkid's name into this matter? Has he ever acted violently before in public? How did you end up roping civil servants in all of this?

They are many level headed Nigerians with money. Your statement is quite unfortunate to say the least. It smirks of a very high level of inferiority.

You seem like you still hold a grugde against osimen about the finidi episode... Even finidi has moved on and forgetten that issue.

Osimen is human like everyone else... He hasn't become a super hero just because he has money. Why was the photographer even stalking him till late at night when he was coming from a club?

He is a celebrity and that is what he signed up for when he become a footballer. Many footballers get photographed and he is not an exception.
Wizkid abused Linda Ikeji and made disgusting remarks stating her geni-talia smelled bad.

I roped in civil servants to show the prevalence of abuse of power as a cultural phenomenom in the country.

Politics › Throwback: Economic Minister Bagudu Detained 6 Months In USA For Abacha Loot by kanupapilo(op): 6:07pm On Jan 25, 2025*

Long before he was elected governor, prosecutors in the United States and the United Kingdom said Abubakar Bagudu of Kebbi State was a bagman for the infamous late military dictator, Sani Abacha.

Court documents revealed that Mr Bagudu was the gas that powered Mr Abacha’s extensive money laundering operations.

Working with some members of his own family, top members of the regime and Mohammed, Mr Abacha’s eldest son, prosecutors claimed the governor used an intricate network of phoney companies to siphon several millions of dollars from government treasury into offshore bank accounts operated by himself and the Abachas.

The money-laundering operations Mr Bagudu ran on behalf of Mr Abacha are well-documented in suits filed in the United States and the Bailiwick of Jersey, a British Crown dependency in the Channel Islands.

But what many Nigerians may not know was that Mr Bagudu, who now enjoy immunity from prosecution by virtue of being a governor, was once arrested for his role in the Abacha money laundering enterprise and spent six months in a US federal detention.

The Arrest
Although British and American investigators believe Mr Bagudu’s money-laundering operation spread across multiple jurisdictions and was broad, he needed the assistance of his wife and elder brother, Ibrahim. His preferred destination for concealing the illicit funds on behalf of the Abachas was Jersey.

Mr Bagudu’s attraction to Jersey was also the cause of his trouble.

In 2003, five years after the death of Mr Abacha, it became clear that the military tyrant stole billions of dollars from the country’s treasury. Because some of these illicit funds were traced to Jersey, authorities of the Island nation requested the help of US authorities to arrest and extradite Mr Bagudu, who at the time had lived in Texas for three years.

Mr Bagudu was subsequently arrested and kept in federal detention for six months while awaiting extradition to Jersey to answer questions about funds traced to the account of Doraville Properties Corp. a company managed by Mr Bagudu and Mohammed, with accounts at Deutsche Bank International, Jersey.

But before he was handed over to authorities at Jersey, Mr Bagudu quickly negotiated a deal with the US and Jersey authorities to “return more than $163 million of the allegedly laundered assets to Nigeria in exchange for Jersey’s withdrawal of the extradition request and his return to Nigeria,” a court document obtained by PREMIUM TIMES revealed.

The court document is a January 2019 ruling of a US District Court of Columbia between the US government versus the assets held in Doraville Properties Account 80020796 at Deutsche Bank, represented by Ibrahim, who is the only person still laying claim to the $287 million in the account.

The court document explained that after the US government filed a civil forfeiture of the assets in the said account, several people made claims to the assets all of which were struck out.

“The only remaining third-party claim in this litigation is Bagudu’s (Ibrahim) asserted claim to certain defendant assets, which is based on an annuity he receives from investment portfolios in which the defendant assets are held.”

The release
Following the deal with Jersey and the US government, Mr Bagudu was released on bond and repatriated to Nigeria to face trial. Evidence gathered in Jersey and in Switzerland were also sent to Nigeria to aid Nigeria’s Attorney General in his trial.

However, since his return, he has not been questioned over his involvement in the Abacha loot but was instead cleared to contest in three different election circles – one as a senator and two as governor – all of which he won.

Mr Bagudu did not return calls made to his mobile number. He also did not respond to questions sent to him by SMS on why he did not turn himself in for trial after he returned to Nigeria.

Similarly, the Attorney-General of the Federation(AGF), Abubakar Malami, did not return calls made to his mobile number. He also did not respond to an SMS inquiry asking to know if he was aware of details of the deal Mr Bagudu negotiated with US and Jersey authorities.

We also asked Mr Malami the whereabouts of the pieces of evidence sent to Nigerian authorities to aid the prosecution of Mr Bagudu and whether the government will prosecute Mr Bagudu after his tenure expires. The AGF did not respond.

A drunk mind speaks sober thoughts and acts on sober feelings. When Victor Osimhen abused Victor Ikpeba and was joined by Asisat Oshoala to abuse the Super Eagles legend by calling him "Werey" and "Agbaya" I am sure you would have also attributed it to alcohol.

Osimhen should know he's a target, so people would continue to set traps.

He should take some lessons in etiquette, anger management and giving.

This would cost him little money and potentially save his life.

The Bible warns against pride and agreed he needs to take lessons in etiquette and anger management.

“By pride comes nothing but strife” (Proverbs 13:10a). “He who is of a proud heart stirs up strife” (Proverbs 28:25a)
