The Biafra movement is the SE equivalent of Boko Haram in their minds. They believe GEJ lost elections because of the insurgent Boko Haram but they miss the point. Corruption brought GEJ down. How? If not for corruption, 1. There would have been adequate funds to pay soldiers' allowances and procure enough armaments to wipe Boko Haram. 2. There would have been enough moneys saved in Foreign Reserves, Excess Crude Account, Sovereign Wealth Fund to cushion the massive drop in oil price. Salaries were unpaid, government was broke once prices plummeted. The illiterate and unwise in the SE calling for Biafra should watch the reproach give to Nnamdi Kanu in Los Angeles at the 2015 World Igbo congress by smarter and more educated Igbos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XU2JtlUF6M Wisdom is lacking in this whole Biafra brouhaha. 5 Likes |

| Politics › $5 Billion Abacha Loot: 11 Questions Okonjo-iweala Must Answer – SERAP by LRNZH(op): 2:05pm On Dec 06, 2015 |
[img]http://media.premiumtimesng.com/wp-content/files/2014/12/800x345xNgozi_Okonjo_Iweala_Presents_Budget.jpg.pagespeed.ic.3eS9S8gF88.webp[/img] The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, SERAP, has rejected the accusation of political agenda by the immediate-past Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, saying that “the issue of how over $5 billion recovered Abacha funds were spent under her watch deserves serious attention.” In a statement on Sunday by SERAP executive director, Adetokunbo Mumuni, the organisation said that, “By making unfounded allegations against SERAP, Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala has provided little more than an unhelpful distraction, which can only serve to undermine genuine efforts to promote transparency and accountability in Nigeria, the country that she claims to love so dearly.” Last week, Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala described the call by SERAP for her probe over the spending of the Abacha loot as a politically-sponsored action; that SERAP is compromised; that SERAP is a tool for reprehensible, corrupt vested interests; and that the returned Abacha loot was properly appropriated and channelled into roads, electricity, education, water and health across all six geo-political zones of Nigeria. The response by the organisation reads in part: “As a public trust, SERAP has an important role to play in revealing the discrepancies between the World Bank documents and the clear lack of access of millions of Nigerians to quality education, adequate healthcare, clean water, safe roads and regular electricity supply during the period covered by the documents.” “If she truly loves Nigeria, Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala should have come out to say exactly how the over $5 billion of Abacha loot was spent under her watch. Trying to dodge responsibility for the spending of our commonwealth or attacking SERAP that is trying to get to the bottom of what happened to the funds is a betrayal of that love. Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala should not be immune from accountability for what happened to Abacha recovered loot just because she is no longer in government.” “If the aim of these allegations is to bully us into stopping our work to seek accountability on the spending of over $5 billion recovered Abacha loot, then it has failed, as SERAP will never back down in its pursuit of justice in the face of such attack.” “These new allegations echo those that Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala made against us in March to divert attention from SERAP freedom of information suit on the spending of N30 trillion by the former government of President Goodluck Jonathan. [/b]SERAP has fully responded to these allegations. SERAP’s credibility is exemplified by the fact of several awards it has received nationally and internationally including nomination for the UN civil society award in 2008; nomination for the Ford Foundation Jubilee Transparency Award for 2011, and the Wole Soyinka Anti-Corruption Defender Award SERAP received in 2014.” [b]“As we continue to study the documents received from the World Bank, we have identified 11 questions that Nigerians would like Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala to answer as a matter of priority”. “First, the World Bank confirmed that of the 51 projects reviewed, 23 were described as “completed”, 26 were at various stages of completion, and 2 were described as “abandoned”. Nigerians would like Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala to show us evidence of the 23 projects allegedly completed, and whether the 26 projects where actually completed; and what became of the 2 abandoned projects.” “Second, the World Bank confirmed that 6 out of 8 health centres reviewed pertained to physical infrastructure but were not completed. Nigerians would like Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala to explain why these projects were not completed on time, and whether in fact they were completed at all; as well as location of completed projects.” “Nigerians would also like Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala to explain the letter she wrote to the Ambassador of Switzerland to Nigeria January 9, 2005 that of the 174 health centres built with Abacha funds, 138 were fully functional and that remaining 36 were expected to be commissioned in January 2005. Nigerians would appreciate it if Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala could identify and name all the health centres mentioned in her letter.” “Third, as regards power projects, the World Bank confirmed that payments by government to contractors could not be verified “because in most cases contact information for contractors was not available,” and that 10 of the 18 power projects pertained to physical electrical installations. Nigerians would like Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala to identify and name the 10 installations, and to provide contact details of the contractors that executed the projects.” “Fourth, the World Bank confirmed that most of the recovered funds were used to repay domestic borrowing. Nigerians would like Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala to explain how much exactly was involved as a part of 2004 annual budget execution in anticipation of the repatriation of the looted funds in 2004, as well as repayment terms of the funds and from which banks.” “Fifth, the World Bank confirmed that the government opened a special US dollar account for recovered funds with the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, to which various transfers of Abacha loot were made. The World Bank also confirmed that some $50 million was received before 2005 which was kept in the special account. Nigerians would like Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala to explain how much was left in the account by the time she left office in May.” “Sixth, the World Bank confirmed that the data on inflows of recovered funds are broadly identical but that there was one material discrepancy, which was unexplained. The Bank also said the information it received from the government ‘does not contain a reference to the transfer of $5.2 mn in August of 2006.’ Nigerians would like Mrs Okonjo-Iweala to explain the material discrepancy, and why the transfer of $5.2 mn was not disclosed to the Bank.” “Seventh, the World Bank confirmed that Abacha returned loot was used as source of 2005 budget deficit financing, and that the funds were directed to co-financing of capital expenditure and balancing the 2005 budget. Nigerians would like Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala to explain exactly the capital expenditure involved.” “Eighth, the World Bank confirmed that the Abacha funds were used to provide additional financing for the Universal Basic Education (UBE) program in the amount of NGN24.25 bn to support basic education throughout the country. This amount was fully disbursed and fully utilized. Nigerians would like Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala to identify the number and location of schools which benefited from these funds at the time.” “Ninth, the World Bank confirmed that there were problems with collecting project-related information because of under-developed reporting and accounting standards, and absence of properly set-up databases for sectoral project portfolios; and weak administrative capacity in the ministry of finance. Nigerians would like Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala to explain why this was the case under her watch.” “Tenth, the World Bank confirmed that 13 road projects were completed including 3 of the largest road and bridge projects in each geo-political zone. Also, the Bank regretted that it was not possible to interview many contractors in order to obtain independent confirmation of amounts spent on individual projects, and record their comments on project status. Nigerians would like Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala to explain exactly happened, and to identify unconfirmed individual projects, including the largest roads and bridges completed.” “Eleventh, the World Bank confirmed that no special arrangements were made for project selection and monitoring. According to the Bank, ‘Given the weakness of general budget reporting systems at the moment, this decision greatly undermined the opportunity for tracking the returned Abacha funds and analysis of their utilization.’ Nigerians would like Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala to explain why this was the case under her watch.” http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/194619-5-billion-abacha-loot-11-questions-okonjo-iweala-must-answer-serap.html 1 Like 1 Share |

jamace:This your reasoning sha.... You claim GEJ meant well for Nigeria but it is his lieutenants that are corrupt. I responded that GEJ cannot be ignorant of the huge sums of withdrawals from CBN because CBN requires his approvals to release such funds. Unless someone was doing the work of president for him. How has that got to do with when corruption started in Nigeria? So if corruption started during Azikiwe (the original one), it means GEJ is absolved of this monumental stealing in his government?

Are you insinuating that GEJ is ignorant of the 47Million and 289 Million dollars withdrawals from CBN by Dasuki and Diezani, and all other numerous ones we don't know about? I bet you that in the end, we will find that GEJ is culpable or totally blind as a ding bat and was clueless of what was going on around him. GEJ aided and abetted corruption in his government! In both cases, he is unfit to be president. I don't see the good intentions in that. The point is he could have controlled the amount of corruption in his cabinet at least.

This is what investigative journalism is about. With sample documents as evidence of corruption in Nigeria. The video opens with Mr Ekpo who alongside his wife was shot by the police because of failure to pay N2000 bribe. It shows an interview with a soldier who was wounded at the BH war theatre corroborating that the military was underfunded. It shows how public infrastructure in Nigeria has deteriorated while the elite steal from crude-oil sales and CBN withdrawals with some of the evidence shown below: 31 Likes 7 Shares
