Man From Niger Republic Who Ran Away With N206b Nig Arms Money Declared Wanted by EFCC | #IgbereTV

ABOUBAKAR HIMA is from Niger Republic.

Buhari and his APC govt gave him contract to supply ARMS worth over N200bn and he ran away with the entire cash!

1. $394m = about N200bn

2. €9.9m = N6bn plus

3. N369m

TOTAL = N206.4bn

Reacting to the Development, a journalist and social commentator, Peter Agba Kalu said: "What a country! Buhari has out sourced Nigeria to his relatives at Niger Republic. How can you give supply of Nigerian security equipments to a Nigerien that has limited English proficiency?"

Why would a supposedly responsible government contract a private individual who is not even a citizen of Nigeria but of Niger.

To carry out arms procurement for the nation, why for goodness sake why ❓

What happened to Government to Government procurement international diplomacy and assistance. Which is devoid of any under the table inducements.

Sizzorkay:
The daft aspect to this is some people actually believe it was Buhari who gave the money to this guy, like really? where is the proof that Buhari met or know this person? Presidents have staff and cabinet members for a reason, among hosts of others. everything that goes wrong, it's Buhari. Oga your disdain and bias for the man is apparent.
So Buhari gave money to this man to steal, then sent EFCC after him? now how does that make sense

It's not irrational it is not entirely implausible.

Because this government is thrives on blatant impunity and bare faced lies.

Add to that the most important unit of measurement for capacity and competence is perceived loyalty to the regime. Which in itself is anchored on tribalism, nepotism and religious affiliation.

Finally, the President is the commander in chief and executive head of the nation. It's his responsibility to ensure compliance, he had oversight.

Essentially the BUCK STOPS WITH PMB there is no excuse or evasion.

abuomaIV:
Do you want brand new or fairly used?

Price for both please.

And when l use the term branded I make reference to the market leaders where tyres are concerned such as Michelin, Bridgestone, Pirelli, Continental, etc.

There are other makes which are relatively unknown but still good quality.

Covert1:
It often comes down to courses passed to out rank a course mate. It's a reality the soldiers know however in this case the president used his constitutional powers of prerogative.

I knew the issue of finance will come but the money spent in retiring these officers every few years its humongous. A little addition to it will do the trick. In West Africa there are many options for a command HQ likewise in other regions of Africa. Nigeria actually has more clout than you may think. The Military High Command can actually have some of these combatant commands for a start domiciled at Ship House and Defense HQ. The idea is not to go and start wars. The military is not all about fighting all of the time. Instead of a fire brigade approach like we had in Mali we can be ahead of the game. Countries we never thought of are now filling in the military gaps in most of these African countries that we used to do.

Defense costs money. This is a reality the present administration is slowly waking up to.

That cost will rise exponentially in a regime where mediocrity is enthroned and corruption rife.

In addition competence is measured by unquestionable loyalty to the regime without question.

Loyalty is a perceptive led deduction thats why nepotism, tribal and religious affiliation count more than capacity and competence in the PMB regime.

Excuse you?? Did you even read the rubbish you typed? How many league goal did Ighalo score? So cavani is so good that he stopped Ighalo from getting 15-20min game time? If Ighalo was so good he could have forced ole give him game time just like Iheanacho did to Rodgers. Moses had 3 assist not 5, whether you like it or not Conte didn't retain him, if he really wanted him Chelsea were willing to sell/loan as he was already surplus to requirement. So the truth still stand, Conte discarded him at Inter.

Your proposition is nonsensical and lacks any iota of substance.

Manchester United is not Leicester and the dynamics of team selection completely different.

KC has been at Leicester city for 4 seasons and his first three seasons were abysmal it's taken him three years to come alive from essentially a football coma.

Considering the quality competition in Manchester United, will KC be starter or be playing U23 at United.

But l can say if Ighalo was at Leicester he would most likely be a starter and probably not wait three years to come alive.

Karlovych:
I can't believe it takes more than a year to get get clearance from FIFA whereas the Jamaicans get cleared in less than 6 months from England

Sometimes we like to believe the official lie, which is ludicrous, particularly coming from a government and society that doesn't stand on INTEGRITY.

Zaha played youth football for England and then played for the first team. Inspite of all the controversy his change of allegiance was completed in 6 weeks.

Even if your blind and lack knowledge anybody should know it will not take three years to make a change of allegiance with FIFA.

So what's causing the delay.

humility33:
For someone that hav been watching football he needs no one to tell him that Italian players since ages always do better as they age the likes of Totti,Pedro,Maldini,Costakuta,Nesta and others played football for their national team till their late 30s and were still balling for elite clubs like milan,Roma etc

Now where is moses and ighalo playing If they were Italians they wont even warrant a discuss let alone a call up

If you really watch the super eagles last two feature you should know better what the super eagles lack is creative playmaker so if we are to canvass for any retiree recall that person should be Mikel Obi because his presence in the midfield will birth killer passes that may lead to goal

The super eagles strike department as at present is one of the best in africa. Ighalo record in England cant match nacho record in italy cant match oshimen or simy record so why make a mountain out of a molehill

Have any of them been able to achieve the accolade of highest goal scorer in the AFCON.

Will any of them ever attain that feat, only time will tell.

But for now the only player who has is IGHALO end of discussion.

12large1:
Everyday I will be posting guys in their mid 30's playing in this euros

Thank you

[quote author=zuchyblink post=102594922][/quote]Osimhen is yet to achieve half of what Ighalo has achieved. He had a mediocre season in Seria A.

What makes him better? ❓ his transfer fee that he had so far been unable to live up too.

12large1:
A team that has onuachu, iheanacho, moffi, Musa, Simon failed to score against cameroun in 180 Minutes the same cameroun that ighalo and victor mosea totally annihilated and you don't think there should be reason for panic. Should we wait until we fail to qualify for world cup for our eyes to clear?

Agreed without reservation and or question ❓

humility33:
You funny oo
Are you going to compare pepe and ronaldo to moses and ighalo

Those guys you mentioned are world class

If you guys really know how to analyse matches...you should know that what the super eagles need right now are good playmakers...creative midfielders and a good team tactics to bring out the best from this lads

Moses and Ighalo cant match the current strikers of oshimen nancho moffi simy and onauchu in abilities and potentials at the moment

I am sure you would have include musa had it been he has retired too chanting for his recall

That's a misguided unit of measurement.

Are any of our players " world class" how many if any of our young players have achieved what Ighalo and VM have achieved.

Are any clearly better ❓ I would say capital NO

Ppogbae:
Either you are naive or trolling. What's he's saying is pure, unadulterated truth.

Let me quote codemaniacs "Most whyte people naturally don't like Africans and don't see anything good in Africans,"

If that's your view, then the both of you are from the same village.

It's like saying all Nigerian are fraudsters Yahoo boys, dishonest and corrupt.

That's just crass ignorance.

chrisooblog:
See Komekn this is where I always have issues with you. Your first instinct when you hear stories like this is to almost always take the most pessimistic or negative standpoint. You usually try to disguise it under the banner of being "objective" not knowing you are as transparent as glass. How do you know for certain he will be a bench warmer? Are you an oracle or is soothsaying your side hustle?

You can judge a player's present circumstance without making a definitive judgment about how they will fair in the future you absolutely have no control over.

One would have thought the Iheanacho, Osimhen and Josh Ononam experiences would have made you more humble in your judgments but mba!

You lack objectivity and you cannot substantiate your opinion with anything beyond sentiment and bias.

Look at the past 10 years and tell me how many forward players Chelsea have bought that have made it beyond Drogba, Conte and a one or two others.

Chelsea has either destroyed the careers of many young promising players or they have had to find world class fame and fortune ELSEWHERE, such as De Bruyne, Lukaku, Salah, etc

In addition it's part of the Chelsea business. Model to buy players and sell them on for possible profit.

Now compare the pedigree of the players Chelsea buys and how many failed to cut it. Terem is not as good as the players who did not make it at Chelsea thats the reality.

charlesemeka85:
After several anxious months, world football governing body FIFA have finally cleared Ademola Lookman and Ovie Ejaria to play for the Super Eagles.

Forward Lookman and midfielder Ejaria have previously featured for England at various age-grade levels but have now opted to play for Nigeria, where their parents were born.

Lookman plays for Red Bull Leipzig but was on loan at Fulham in the Premier League in England this past season.


He is a direct-playing forward and weighs in with his own fair share of goals and assists.

Ejaria, on the other hand, is a creative central midfielder with Reading FC in the English Championship.

The 23-year-old player was previously on the books of Premier League outfit Liverpool.

His creativity will be most welcomed in the Eagles midfield with his great vision and wide range of passing skills.

Are you suggesting that it's taken months ❓

When Ovie and Ademola made thier commitment to the NFF years ago, with regards to Ovie I can say it's over 3 years ago.

Something that should not take more than 4/5 weeks.

It's crass ineptitude by the NFF again it mirrors general bureaucracy in Nigeria in general. It's simply not acceptable.

However Nigerians we have learned over the years to accept the unacceptable.

andrewbaba44:
Even if the story isn’t true doesn’t mean I should speak the way you are speaking

Sure he is not better than Werner doesn’t mean he can’t fight for his place if given the chance

Don’t make it look like Chelsea have a Kane Suarez lewandowski aguero and co there

Thou I doubt the news

I can bet anything that you won’t speak such of any English player

Would you honestly advice him to go to Chelsea and see his career nose dive ❓ ❓

Thats why I'm speaking the way l am.

Be REALISTIC.

Can you please give me price for 285/35/22 they don't have to be branded.

Thank you

Napoleon55:
I have no doubt that if he would bring in Nwakali now and give him one year,our central midfield whala would b over before the world cup

Misguided over optimism.

He has done absolutely nothing to justify an invitation in the past 4/5 years to the present day.

Icon4s:
All these Foreign borns switching to Nigeria, well it is good we have a larger pool. But, we at this point, really need to evaluate their impacts in the national team. Cos the way it is now , the top players in that team are Nigerian grown: Osimhen, Ndidi and Chukwueze.

See that Moffi guy now today, after all hype about him.

So what are Iwobi, Ekong, Aribo, Aina born and bred in Ajegunle it seems and not core players in the team.

People have not questioned the undue delay and administrative ineptitude of the NFF I'm getting Ademola Lookman Oviemuno Ejaria, etc into the SE.

Eizzy003:
Terem Moffi is being mentioned to Chelsea Football Club as they continue their search for a No 9

If it's true although l completely doubt it.

He will end up being a bench warmer at the very best otherwise it's just another Chelsea business transaction to be given out on loan and sold out for speculative profit in the future.

codemaniacs:
It's either you're less than 18 years old or you're ignorant or you're playing ignorant.

A person's attitude and personality can change depending on who the person is talking to.

Most whyte people naturally don't like Africans and don't see anything good in Africans, ro:hr, a whyte coach currently coaching Nigeria has repeatedly said Nigeria is not good enough when it's his job to make sure they become good enough.

His personality changes towards Nigeria.

Another thing is Whyte people naturally don't have the " innate drive " to empower Africans and push them to " lofty heights".

You must live in a village thats cut off from the rest of Nigeria and there is no electricity and there is no Internet connectivity as well.

You are HIGHLY IGNORANT.

BascoVanVeli:
Too slow First of all that's false and neither of them have played better than him at that position. Aina can say he has played as good but definitely not better.

Ok he not FAST and therefore the modern day pre- requisite for a wing back is speed.

Awaziem has none. That effectively cancels him out. Not in his dreams is he better than Aina or Ebuehi ( If Fit)

Key issue is which ROUTE you have decided to take.

My personal experience about two weeks ago ;

Left Ajah Epe express way straight to Ijebu -ode via Epe. Roads not great but Ok from Lekki takes about an Hour.

From Ijebu matters change somewhat on the Lagos to Benin highway . It's as if having an SUV is a criminal offence, the check points manned by multiple agencies ( all deh find money) are probably over fifty.

Nonetheless progressed on arrival in Edo state. Very concerned armed ( robbers) in police uniform they are very hungry quite a lot if them. No name tags they even covered the plate number on the patrol car they have. Thats a warning bell.

I overcame that I never give one kobo bribe a bit of posturing to make them think twice that's all.

Benin to Warri no issues whatsoever easy go easy come. Warri to PH no issues.

That's my personal experience.

zuchyblink:
Iwobi's best position is behind the striker,Iwobi has no business playing as a winger,Iwobi and Nacho pairing would have been better. Awaziem plays better as a right back. Musa and Shehu should be shown the exit door

He is too slow and he is not in any way, shape or form better than Aina, Ebuehi ( If fit)

Don't know how in earth Shehu got into the team, but then we are Nigerians should we suprised.

12large1:
Ndidi has to elevate his game because the time of just winning balls and passing it era has gone. He needs to either learn how to shoot from far, passing or initiate attack if he intends on being the best DM

Agreed without reservation or question, No sentiment.

isan:
Chelsea were playing high line city needed someone with pace to run at reece but sterling just not good enough prime musa would run Reece James ragged today

The same Musa that was relegated to U23 at Leicester.

Please Musa Willi not do anything

Neobulletzz:
Nah Bro e no concern me, you said Billing use us catch cruise, accepted
Lookman nko, person reject Nigeria three times, lol that one no be cruise ba.
Lookman agreed to play for Nigeria then Southgate told him he is his plans and baba rescind him decision to represent England, is that not cruise too? but people are still clamoring for him here
Me I just want the best of the best available for us, that’s all
All I am saying is if Billing is willing to represent Nigeria now then why not? It’s not that NFF approached him, he is the one reaching out so why not

The same Nigeria U17 said he was not good enough for our U17, when he went in trial with Oviemuno Ejaria.

Both rejected.

A few years later the NFF suddenly realised they were alive and kicking.

So who rejected who first

forgiveness:
Honestly, the guy ridiculed Nigeria in his statement and every passionate compatriot will feel rubbished and despised by this but I think if he can retract his statement and apologize openly then I think there’s nothing bad accepting him to the team.

Words have to be taken in context and that context with cultural understanding of the meaning of words and phrases in different nations.

After spending over 6 years in Nigeria after high school I went back to university in England.

On arrival I took offence at phrases and words that had no malicious intent by people l had interactions with.

I took those words and phrases in the Nigerian context and perceived offence when there was none actually intended.

andrewbaba44:
That’s good ,I trust you are fine

What do you think about osimhen performance this season ?

Considering his price tag of €80 million or thereabouts.

Big price means big expectations and he has not lived up to the billing.

Many no doubt will give multiple excuses but keeping matter without sentiment his season has been nothing to talk about.

andrewbaba44:
I called you out and you come this thread after all this while

No be juju be that

Hope you good

Actually I have been very busy with a number of commitments that limited my time for leisure.

The past four months l have spent about 80% of the time outside of the UK.

Just got back two days ago and I am self isolating for 10 days.

chrisooblog:
good for him he was thinking his bad belle was doing KC Las Las na him self him do. Lol you need a result from a game and you bench your highest goal scorer and most in form player loool

Highest goal scorer in the EPL for Leicester is Vardy this season.

Blueelf:
One bad game and he was back to the bench

If I remember, Vardy has been mostly mediocre all season, yet he gave vardy much more opportunities to redeem himself

Really hmmm ❓

Vardy has scored 13 goals this season thats very mediocre according to you. He has also been consistently scoring for the past 5 years as a top scorer in the EPL. Indeed to this is h I s worst goal tally in the EPL in the last 7 years.

KC has scored 12 absolutely impressive but Vardy is mediocre.

Hmmm your deductions are baffling.

andrewbaba44:
Wilfred ndidi has 3 assist in the epl this season as a DM

That’s impressive

Where is komekn self

I would not say thats exceptional for any player maybe goalkeeper yes. But not for a Midfielder defensive or offensive.

However, the exponential rise of KC is close to miraculous his mother must be a prayer warrior.

Against all odds and predictions he has excelled, he is undoubtedly in the HERE and NOW the best forward player in the SE no contest.

I said very early on in the season that if he can score 12 goals in the EPL then we can say he has shaken off the cobwebs of the past 4 years of mediocrity.

He is now a major player for Leicester, has he overtaken Vardy not yet.
