Don’t assume people know nothing. Simple analogy is making you feel guilty and defensive. Simple quote your source it is simple. You make posts to educate people not just about the figment of your imaginations. I listened to Kola Abiola and that’s not what he said.
You got 4 mins of my time. Not giving u anymore after this. Obviously, u dwell on what you hear and assume and not what you can authenticate.

It wasn't Kola Abiola the idiot but another of Abiola's son who made the reference to how Yoruba elders and politicians killed his father and shared his meat among themselves.

Ever heard of fronts?

Chagoury makes his money as an influence peddler and money launderer.

Every other thing nah wash.

Even that his construction firm only came into existence when Tinubu was governor of Lagos state from where highly overinflated contracts where given to Chagoury's construction firm. The 30km dualization of Lekki - Ajah cost Lagos state #30bn which at the then current exchange rate was mind boggling. That sane road built with public funds will later be handed to Tinubu and Chagoury's LCC to toll .

Why are you people so much in love with worshiping those who steal and sell you out?

Chagoury is a crook and a thief who has fleeced this country dry.

Britishpea:
How you wrote these without a single source to corroborate your point is funny. You can’t sledge hammer a man just because he’s successful. Always support your claim with facts. News and media have ways to paint people however they want people to see them. Most people paraded as good people today had some bad dealings but media didn’t touch light them. No leader in Nigeria is a saint. Before anything, all of them want to get to the high seat to polish their egos. Reforming the country is secondary to all of them.

Ask Abiola's son who came out with this revelation on how your useless backstabbing so-called elders all dined with Abacha.

Ask how the likes of Soyinka, Tinubu and other idiots in NADECO told Abiola not to sign any conditional release with the military after Abacha was announced dead only for these same NADECO govt to arrange a meeting with Susan Rice who poisoned and killed Abiola with a cup of tea.

All Abiola's vast wealth stored in Jewish banks were then stolen .


You know nothing.

I understand your plight but get your fact right
Prison break has been a norm under buhari before aregbe assumed office

There's was only one prison break before Aregbesola was appointed and that was in a prison facility in Kogi which housed BH elements like the Ebira Kabiru Sokoto who carried out the Nyaya bombings.

We all knew it was Buhari freeing his BH footsoldiers.

Other than that, there has never been any report of a major prison break involving an invasive group on prison facilities that saw to mass escapes.

Aregbesola is a demented Ebira slave of sokoto who keeps trying to validate his fake Islam to no avail to his Fulani overlords.

This is why he is dangerous as he will do anything to prove to his Fulani masters that he is indeed a good Muslim.

The biggest lobbyists in America today is the NRA..National Rifle Association....they are a group of business men.

And?

Tell me what business Chagoury has in Nigeria and why hat will make him one of the biggest contributors to the Clinton Crime foundation and later the despicable Obama homosexual fund?

Gilbert Chagoury is Tinubu's Godfather


Tinubu's first contact with Chagoury began during the Abacha regime and Tinubu's pretend membership of NADECO

Chagoury was a major business confidant to Abacha and international fixer for that regime.

The Clinton administration was set to pass sweeping sanctions against Abacha until Chagoury's timely campaign fundind to Clinton's second bid and also to the Clinton foundation.

There is no need stating that Chagoury's campaign funding to Clinton came from non other than Abacha himsel!

The Clinton administration will later tone down to opting for "sincere dialogue" in returning Nigeria to democratic rule.

Tinubu who at this time was recently sent back to Nigeria to infiltrate civil advocacy groups by his CIA handlers and was now parading himself as an agent of democtacy and good governance was suggested to Chagoury as a possible vp candidate to Abacha during his transition from military to civilian govt.

Chagoury was in a position to lobby Abacha in seeing Tinubu as a go between candidate to pacify the SW over Abiola's june 12 mandate and also the Americans.

The death of Abacha ended this arrangement.

Chagoury will later support Tinubu in his quest to dominate SW political terrain.

Tinubu after all is a godson to Chagoury.

Tinubu's petulance towards Obasanjo when he was governor of Lagos state stems from his powerful connections to both the Clinton Crime Foundation and DemonRat DC swamp mafia.

Tinubu serves the swamp and that's why he is still in power play in Nigeria today.

Having this thing as President, gives Nigeria's treasury to the Obamas, Clintons, Kerrys and crooked Bidens.

Ukraine is facing a war because of these corrupt bastards . only God knows what Nigeria will descend to with a DNC puppet rat like Tinubu in Aso Rock.

But Karma is on her way and is set to collect her 30y old debt from Yekini Amodu Ogunlere aka the Gbana Ahmed.

Senator Vitter's letter to John Kerry on Hilary Clinton's links and shady dealings with Chagoury


March 17, 2015
The Honorable John Kerry
Secretary of State
U.S. Department of State
2201 C Street, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Secretary Kerry:
Like many Americans, I am incredibly concerned about the recent revelations that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has kept official federal records hidden from the public, both through an external email domain and in deciding to delete thousands of these records. While the State Department is in the process of reviewing the documents Secretary Clinton has provided, I am requesting that the Department provide all additional files specifically relating to the designation of Boko Haram as a terrorist organization during former Secretary Clinton’s term and seek out any related files which may not have already been turned over by Secretary Clinton.
As I have in the past, I commend your November 2013 decision to designate Boko Haram as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. However, given the drastic foothold Boko Haram was allowed to gain prior to being designated an FTO, the nexus between the Department’s decision against designating Boko Haram as an FTO and connections to outside groups should be brought forward. Associated records should have been preserved as evidence of the agency’s activities, decisions and procedures. These should be presented to the relevant committees and to the American public to be evaluated for corresponding misconduct.
Last year, I presented the Department with evidence that multiple State Department Country Reports on Terrorism, presented to Congress under Secretary Clinton’s direction, failed to include valuable information related to Boko Haram. Inaccuracies within official documents make it clear that the State Department misled Congress and the American people. Additional evidence demonstrates that multiple Department employees who were directly involved in the decision against designating Boko Haram as an FTO, including the Office Coordinator for Counterterrorism, have been Clinton Foundation employees. Disturbingly, while the Department was refusing to make the FTO designation, former President Bill Clinton, also the head of the Clinton Foundation and account owner of the Clinton email domain, participated in events with a long-time donor and major Nigerian land developer, Gilbert Chagoury, who previously agreed to a $66 million plea deal during international investigation into corruption charges against him. We need to know if Mr. Chagoury had any influence in the decision not to designate Boko Haram an FTO, or had any other influence with Sec. Clinton’s foreign policy decisions.
Between this history of involvement and the recent revelations regarding Secretary Clinton’s record keeping, I strongly believe it is essential to re-establish trust in the Department to provide the related materials to the public. If funds from the Clinton Foundation were used to pay for the email server, it would constitute a financial benefit from the Clinton Foundation and donations from foreign businessmen who directly stood to gain from Clinton’s decision, which is questionable at best.
I have long opposed the foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation as a conflict of interest for Secretary Clinton due to the nature of the job. Moreover, as you are aware, the Code of Federal Regulations requires federal agencies to make and preserve records that duly document agency activity. Former Secretary Clinton’s actions in conjunction to information I have previously presented to the Department where she circumvented and misled Congress should be closely examined.
The purpose of the law is to ensure that agency activities are available to be reviewed when needed -- such as for FOIA requests or congressional inquiries. Each federal agency is responsible for maintaining its records in accordance with regulations. Due to the highly unusual nature of the current circumstance, I am asking you to demonstrate the Department’s commitment to transparency and to provide all files related to their decision not to designate Boko Haram an FTO, and all communication with Mr. Chagoury or his affiliated businesses.
These actions, if true, run contrary to the trust placed in the Department, as a representative of the United States and constitutional government. It is imperative to fully disclose relevant information to the American public.
Sincerely,
David Vitter
United States Senate

How Tinubu's loot ends up in Hilary Clinton's Purse: The Gilbert Chagoury Connection

Sen. David Vitter (R., La.) wants to know whether Hillary Clinton concealed communications with a Nigerian donor to the Clinton Foundation during an internal State Department debate over designating Boko Haram a terrorist group.

Vitter sent a letter last week to Secretary of State John Kerry requesting all of Clinton’s records relating to Boko Haram and her reluctance to label it as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO).

The senator also asked for all of Secretary Clinton’s communications with Gilbert Chagoury, a Nigerian construction magnate who has donated millions to the Clinton Foundation in addition to contributing thousands to an outside group that helped re-elect President Bill Clinton in 1996.

Vitter said in an interview with the Washington Free Beacon that he wants to uncover whether Chagoury’s relationship with the former secretary of state influenced her policy toward Nigeria and its radical Islamic insurgency.

As founder of the Chagoury Group, one of Nigeria’s largest construction conglomerates, Chagoury would have a financial interest in the impact on Nigeria that would have followed a FTO designation for Boko Haram, Vitter said.

“He’s not Boko Haram, but he has a clear interest in terms of his commercial developments of not getting this designation, which would put the brakes on a lot of possible development that he wants in Nigeria,” he told the Free Beacon.

“The question I’ve raised is: Is there a similar conflict of interest there? And did that sort of issue have anything to do with Hillary Clinton’s State Department dragging its feet?”

Mark Corallo, a spokesman for Chagoury and Republican consultant who formerly worked at the Justice Department and on Capitol Hill, said in an email statement that accusations of an improper relationship between Chagoury and Clinton are “ludicrous and laughable.”

“Chagoury has had no contact with Hillary Clinton for years—predating her time as a U.S. senator,” he said. “So even if Senator Vitter somehow retrieves Hillary’s emails (and I hope he does), he’ll find no emails or correspondence of any kind from Ambassador Chagoury with Secretary Clinton or the Department of State.”

“Furthermore, while he has had a well-publicized friendship with former President Clinton and has donated to the Clinton Foundation, I would point out that he has also donated to the George W. Bush presidential library. Why? Because both President Bush and President Clinton showed a real interest in Africa and Ambassador Chagoury truly appreciated both men and their efforts.”

A spokesman for Clinton did not respond to a request for comment. A spokeswoman for the State Department also did not respond to a query about whether Kerry had received Vitter’s letter, and how long it would take to provide the communications he requested.

Both Nigerian officials and outside observers who were opposed to the FTO designation for Boko Haram argued that such a move would have a negative economic impact on the country. Chagoury employs tens of thousands of workers in West Africa and has spearheaded some of Nigeria’s most ambitious development projects.

A group of more than 20 academics wrote Clinton a letter in 2012 urging her against the FTO designation, citing its effects on humanitarian and economic aid.

“If economic development is to play a role in alleviating tensions in northern Nigeria, we should not hamper access by USAID or private NGOs in providing aid and assistance in the region,” they wrote.

The criticism of the FTO designation came as Johnnie Carson, former assistant secretary of state for African affairs under Clinton and an opponent of the measure, stressed the importance of private investment in Nigeria. The country is the second-largest destination in Africa for U.S. private investment.

The militant group was eventually declared as a FTO in November 2013 after Kerry became secretary of state.

Chagoury donated between $1,000,001 and $5,000,000 to the Clinton Foundation and pledged $1 billion to the Clinton Global Initiative in 2009 through the Chagoury Group. His relationship with the Clintons stretches back to the 1990s, when he contributed nearly half a million dollars to a voter registration group that helped re-elect President Bill Clinton in 1996.

At the time, human rights activists pressured Clinton to sanction Nigeria’s Sani Abacha regime for detaining and executing political dissidents. Chagoury, an Abacha associate, was reportedly invited to a White House dinner for Democratic supporters in 1997 and spoke with Clinton administration officials during that period about U.S. policy toward Nigeria. Clinton opted against sanctioning Nigeria’s profitable oil industry, instead pursuing “constructive dialogue” with the Abacha regime. Abacha died in 1998.

Several members of Chagoury’s family also donated thousands of dollars to Hillary Clinton’s failed presidential bid in 2008, according to the Wall Street Journal.

According to a 2010 investigation by PBS Frontline, Chagoury was one of the associates of Abacha’s who received government payments in overseas bank accounts.

He was convicted in 2000 in Switzerland for laundering money from Nigeria, but agreed to a plea deal and repaid $66 million to the Nigerian government. The conviction was later dropped. He also returned money in Swiss bank accounts to Nigeria in 1999 to receive immunity from prosecution in a looted assets case.

Corallo said the charges against Chagoury “were vacated and expunged from the record.”

Chagoury was also linked to a scheme in which Kellogg, Brown, and Root (KBR), then a subsidiary of the Halliburton Corporation, paid $180 million in bribes to the Abacha regime for business contracts in the 1990s. KBR eventually agreed to pay $579 million in fines in 2009, the largest ever payment for a company accused of bribing foreign officials.

Chagoury was not charged with any wrongdoing during a Justice Department investigation of the exchange.

“You are never going to stop corruption,” Chagoury told PBS.

Chagoury helped plan lucrative speeches for Bill Clinton and attended the former president’s 60th birthday party in 2006 in New York, as well as the wedding celebration in France of top Clinton aide Douglas Band, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Chagoury’s latest project, a land reclamation effort known as Eko Atlantic that will provide residences and amenities to 250,000 wealthy Nigerians outside of Lagos, has been criticized by some for not aiding Africa’s poor. Bill Clinton attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the project in February 2013.

Sen. Vitter has long suggested that State Department officials are downplaying the threat posed by Boko Haram.

He wrote a letter to Kerry last year about apparent discrepancies between statistics provided to the State Department and the actual language included in the department’s annual reports on global terrorism.

For example, the National Counterterrorism Center’s (NCTC) statistical annex for the 2011 State Department report said that a double-digit percentage increase in attacks in Africa was “attributable in large part to the more aggressive attack tempo of the Nigeria-based terrorist group Boko Haram, which conducted 136 attacks in 2011­—up from 31 in 2010.”

However, the actual Country Reports on Terrorism for 2011 only called Boko Haram a “Nigerian extremist group” that “claimed responsibility for some of these attacks.”

gasparpisciotta:
Chagoury is not a politician he is a businessman

Chagoury is well known in Washington DC as a major lobbyist.

He pledged a billion dollar contribution to the Clinton Foundation when Clinton was in office. That money is believed to have come from Abacha.

Chagoury made his money in Nigeria from having oil lifting rights granted by IBB and then later Abacha.

He was born in Nigeria and is of Lebanese descent and grew up in Kano.

He has always had a way of infusing himself into military dictatorships of the likes of IBB and Abacha.

He is no businessman .

His only major investment is the Eko Atlantic project which Clinton was invited to flag off in 2013.

gasparpisciotta:
What’s your source?

A ranking US Senator detailed all these allegations on the floor of the Senate during Obama's corrupt govt .

This same Chagoury funneled money and arms to BH as well during the APC campaign of calumny against the GEJ govt.

Chagoury was also the one who lobbied then US secretary of state , Hilary Clinton not to designate BH as a terrorist organization and also cut arms and intelligence to the Nigerian govt citing gross human rights abuse by the Nigerian Army.

Even Obama refused to label BH as a terrorist organization but rather classified them as an armed insurgency with justifiable grievance.

What I do know is that next year will mark 30ys of MKO Abiola's June 12 and betrayers like Tinubu are set to collect their Karma.

gasparpisciotta:
So because US have charges against Chagoury people should not associate with him?

The US have most of the most sophisticated corrupt people on earth.

Why have they refused to challenge Saudi Arabia on the killing of Jamal Kashoggi?

Tinubu has freedom of association just like anyone in the world

Chagoury was an Abacha henchman that laundered Abacha's loot for him. Lobbied the crooked Clinton WH to drop sanctions against the despot after he seized power and three Abiola into jail.

This same Chagoury convinced Abacha to pick Tinubu as his VP in his failed transition to civil rule.

Can you explain why a supposedly pro Democracy advocate like Tinubu will have Chagoury as his major contractor when he was governor of Lagos state?

This was the same Chagoury that carried out the first 1bn per kilometer road project in the world under Tinubu's LASG.

Chagoury was Abacha's main money launderer and international fixer for that corrupt despot.

This Chagoury lobbied the then Clinton adminstration with a hefty donation to the Clinton foundation to drop all sanctions against the Abacha regime over gross human rights violations.

This same Chagoury was the one who lobbied Abacha to pick Tinubu as his VP in his transition to civil rule. Tinubu was chosen so as to douse the June 12 struggle as Tinubu was one of many Yoruba traitors who used NADECO to raise money for June 12 but diverted it for personal use. Wole Soyinka was also one of those who milked the struggle for his own gain.

But Abacha died and Tinubu never got to be VP. But MKO was aware of all their betrayals and that is why NADECO and Yoruba elders who were dining with Abacha wanted Abiola dead and never to smell power.

This same Chagoury became one of the major contractors to LASG under Tinubu and introduced Tinubu to the same Clinton foundation racket .

What is a supposedly self described Democracy advocate doing with Abacha''s major henchman?

Tinubu is one of the most despicable characters to ever exist and why Yoruba people tend to ignore all his betrayals and corruption is a mystery .

Someone can not be this incompetent.

Since I have been alive in this shithole, I have never heard of mass prison breaks involving several prisons under one administration.

Prison breaks became a norm under Aregbesola as Minister of Interior .

There have been over 9 prison breaks since Aregbesola was appointed that saw to massive escapes of inmates.

Owerri
Abakalaiki
Benin (2 prisons where broken into in a span of 3 days)
Ekiti
Ondo
Kogi (Lokoja and another one in the state)
And now Kuje prison at the very centre of Abuja.

How is this possible without connivance from Prison and security officials?

The one that was averted in Ikoyi was purely organic as it stemmed from a riot by the inmates and was quickly brought under control. There was an attempt to break out prisoners at Enugu prison by the terrorist IPOB mob during Endsars riot but that was easily averted.

The most annoying of all prison breaks is the one that occurred in Ondo that saw to the escape of Fulani terrorists arrested by Amotekun.
Then the case of Benin is even more annoying as the prison gates were flung open and prisoners asked to leave the facility with zero attempt to stop them. Those prisoners in Ogbe Maximum and Benin Central Prison on Sapele road will later be used to unleash chaos and anarchy during the height of the Endsars protests towards discrediting the protests and justifying marshal laws to keep genuine peacefully protesters off the streets.

In a sane govt, Aregbesola ought to have turned in his resignation over gross incompetence and white papers issued to stem a repeat of such brazen acts but no. Aregbesola still retained his position to unleash more prison breaks to free violent islamist terrorists and criminals to do the bidding of the terrorist govt of the APC.

Aregbesola needs to be investigated for acts of terrorism on the state with all these staged prison breaks which with the latest at Kuje was to set free BH and Fulani terrorists ahead of next year's election.

APC is pure evil.

These are not your typical spambots but AI bots.

The AI scans the forum for any topic involving Tinubu and from there post their usual 2-3 liners sucking Tinubu's dik.

The first time these types of AI spamming were deployed was during the covid scare of early 2020 .

All the AI handles had random gibberish usernames and even created topics on their own.

This forum is shitzen.

it is foolishness for you to lie to yourself. We know how much was on the reserve before gej took over.

Obasanjo left about %64bn in reserves with very next to no debt.

Yaradua cabal stole as much as they could during his coma and when GEJ was sworn in we had less than $30bn and accumulated debt.

You can simply verify this from CBN forex movements on their website.

Yaradua was a good honest man, whose health but appointed crooks like Baba-Gana Kingibe and that his greedy wife Turai stole massively.

BMC roaches doing what they do best - invert the truth on its head


Is there a more shameless creature than a BMC shill?

JONNYSPUTE:
Funny how this people think they can fool us. Since Yaradua didn't sign it,then whose signature or signatures were there? Arrest them simple.

Mohammed Barkindo.

The thief is dead now.

See how BMC rats were defending the indefensible Barkindo here.

The thief died from covid jab after taking his 4th booster.

tonyuny12:
What happened to the government he served and the ones after? Aren't they clean enough to probe and imprisoned him?

He was appointed by Yaradua .

He left to OPEC almost immediately GEJ was sworn in as acting President.

The scam was orchestrated by him, Lukmann and P&ID as their retirement cushion.

Ironically, they are all dead now including the British man behind the P&ID scam.

The vacuum created by Yaradua's sickness saw to one of the greatest heists in Nigeria .

Obasanjo left well over $60bn as reserves when he handed over to Yaradua. By the time GEJ took over , our reserves had plummeted to below $30bn with no tangible project to show for the masive dip.

I keep saying it that the cabal in Yaradua's absentee govt were the biggest crooks to occupy power.

tonyuny12:
Hope he was the then minister under Buhari or the APC government! Because I don't see reasons Buhari as bad as his government is being dragged into this

Because the Buhari govt covered for him.

That's why.

The thief behind the P&ID scam


He was GMD NNPC at the time the dodgy contract was signed between NNPC, Ministry of Petroleum and P&ID.

He was overlooked by the EFCC and Buhari govt in place of a mere legal secretary of the NNPC was dragged to court by the Nigerian govt. That criminal Magu exonerated the minister of petroleum , the now late Lukman , claiming " he was an upright nan" and will never be involved in any scandal.

Aboki thieves .

Sweden and Finland just made the list of "must nuke" first.

Even if Nigeria want to sell gas to Europe it would take years to build the infrastructure.
Gas is high because 90% of our consumption is imported from overseas

You speaking trash.

We don't import any gas.

All the gas we use for cooking comes from LNG facilities here in Nigeria.

Majority of our power plants utilize gas from LNG.

So you just spewing trash claiming we are importing gas when we are a major exporter of LNG.

NLNG has about four LNG tankers used in gas exports. Now they are servicing Euro gas tankers at the expense of power plants and local consumers.

This why power output has dropped drastically. Since NLNG will rather sell gas to Europe than to power plants and local consumers.

Hell on earth.

23hr lockdown and that is if you don't piss the guards off OE else they throw you into the hole for 3mths straight.

This why cooking gas price is soaring and gas power plants are either shuttered or operating way below capacities.

Virtually all our gas is going to Europe .
