This is not genuine Ndigbo gathering.

This is a gathering brought together for political campaign for a governor nursing the ambition of succeeding President Buhari. We know what genuine Igbos and their leaders want.

Abimbola Akosile in Lagos and Olawale Ajimotokan in Abuja

In line with the promise President Muhammadu Buhari made on May 14 in London to give details of looted funds recovered by the administration during the first anniversary of his presidency, the federal government yesterday released an interim report specifying the recovered cash and assets. The report contained in a statement in Lagos by the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said the cash recoveries made between May 29, 2015 and May 25, 2016, including recoveries under interim forfeiture (cash and assets), totalled over N3. 4 trillion.

These come to about N3. 3 trillion.

Funds awaiting return from foreign jurisdictions included $321,316,726.1 (Three hundred and twenty one million, three hundred and sixteen thousand, seven hundred and twenty six Dollars, one cent); 6,900,000 Pounds (Six million, nine hundred thousand Pounds), and 11,826.11 Euros (Eleven thousand, eight hundred and twenty six Euros, 11 cents).

The recovered funds and assets were listed under four broad categories, namely, cash recoveries; recoveries under interim forfeiture; funds awaiting return from foreign jurisdictions, and non-cash recoveries.

The report also showed that there were non-cash recoveries (farmlands, plots of land, uncompleted buildings, completed buildings, vehicles and maritime vessels) totalling 239 items.

About N39,169,911,023.00 was recovered through the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, which also secured $128,494,076.66, £2,355 and 11,250 Euros.

In addition, the sums of N5,665,305,527.41 and $8,000,000.00 were recovered from the on-going searchlight on the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), while the loots recovered by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) and lodged with CBN were put at N2,632,196,271.71. Also N47.7 million, $1.94 million and £3.50 million in cash were recovered through the Department of State Services (DSS).

Under the report, cash recoveries involving royalty and tax payments to the federal government in JP Morgan account in New York was put at N4,642,958,711.48 (four billion, six hundred and forty-two million, nine hundred and fifty-eight thousand, seven hundred and 11 naira, forty-eight kobo), and $40,727,253.65 (forty million, seven hundred and twenty-seven thousand, two hundred and fifty-three dollars, sixty-five cents).

The office of the Attorney-General of the Federation also recovered N5,500,000,000 (five billion, five hundred million naira) and $5,500,000 (five million, five hundred thousand dollars) in cash.

Buhari had said in an interview during the global anticorruption summit in London, “So far, what has come out, what has been recovered in whatever currency from each ministries, departments and individuals, I intend on the 29th to speak on this because all Nigerians are getting from the mass media because of the number of people arrested either by the EFCC, DSS. But we want to make a comprehensive report on the 29th.”

The president faced widespread criticism when in his Democracy Day speech on May 29 he failed to disclose the recovered funds as promised.

What promise is Buhari keeping?

One of his genuine promises is to make one Naira equal to one Dollar.

Recovery of money made by previous administration but stolen by politicians is not fulfilling his promise.

koladebrainiac:
Very soon you will hear one London Daily Mail saying nonsense about how Buhari has messed up the country . Its not easy having Silverbird CEO who happens to be opposition senator dining with with ousted formal presidential aide who is also known as wendell simlin gathering together discussing .

Given their pedigree, the place they are ,the italian foreign food they are eating with whites- you can bet their discussion will not center around how investors are to cum to nigeria but u can easily guess what they are discussing . n whatever they are cooking,its how to create another wendel simlin in niger delta n mock the office of the president . They failed n want us to fail too. At worst they will be planning on how ND can ground the state economy.

Investors coming to Nigeria without electricity; where soldiers kill civilians even inside the churches, where Avengers are blowing up oil installations?

Buhari and his former compatriots in military rule ruined Nigeria as they ruled for decades without though of replacing infrastructures that were wearing out.

Boko Haram did the final damage.

Buhari came in after Boko Haram and started sending soldiers to kill civilians, deploy fighter jets and bombers to kill civilians whose militants are asking for political reforms.

Intellect20:
The two posters above me are yorubaa and love news like this!

I laugh at Hausa-Fulani and yoruba divide and rule tactics...as expected plant discord between Igbos and their SS neighbors, as they fight each other, Hausa-Fulani and yoruba will continue to steal the oil, just as they have been doing for over 50yrs. Any SS or Igbos that falls for this deja vu should be dealt mercilessly with...we should know better by now. They did this in Bayelsa a month, they realize it didn't work...people are now wiser, now they are bringing it closer to the borders of one of the staunchest supporters of Igbos. This evil people will never let us be in peace...Igbos have been living peacefully with Ibibio, Efik, Annang and Ijaws for thousands of years without a single problem, it shall continue to be like that whether you hausa-fulani and yorubaa like it not.

Fear, this people have so gotten used to profiting from crude oil from the delta that they would go to any lengthy to stop any close association between the Igbo and others in the south south.

Crude oil in the Niger delta has made them crazy.

Mr Mynd44 she was murdered ooooooooooooooooo.
The method of committing the heinous crime can never take away the heavy weight that settled on the hearts of her loved ones.

Geez.

Igbos have eaten raw poison, suffered worst humiliation from Hausa/Fulani since 1914 that Nigeria was created.

This humiliation MUST end now.

Hausa/Fulani in the army shoot and kill Igbo at any slightest provocation,

Hausa/Fulani civilians kill Igbo at any slightest provocation.

All because Igbo consistently ask for separation from Nigeria.

Because Hausa/Fulani believe that Igbo's quest for separation from Nigeria may remove the feeding bottle from the lazy people.

Nogodye:
Weldone boys! Keep doing it...Niger Delta Avengers we are coming for you. God bless Nigeria Army! God bless PMB! God bless Nigeria!

You are going to attack to kill Niger delta people with Janjaweeeed sections of the Nigerian Armed forces, not with entire Nigerian army.

But you must fail. Force alone is not what is used to keep a country one for your own benefit.

Stanbeto:
One Nigeria. NPF

ARASE is going to spend his retirement in Maiduguri.

The NDA has vowed to ensure that crude oil production is brought to zero level in the country until its demands are met.

Buhari was believed to be seeking Jonathan’s help to bring the crisis to an end and spare the nation’s economy of unwarranted damage.

In an apparent move to prepare the ground for this meeting, the president had in recent days been speaking glowingly about the former president whose activities in office have been the subject of investigations by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Buhari had engaged in praising Jonathan over the defeat concession phone call the latter made to him before the final tally of the 2015 presidential election result was known.

President Buhari also, on Friday, hosted former President Olusegun Obasanjo to a secret meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The meeting, which took place inside the president’s office, lasted for about 30 minutes.

Old Fox. He realized that things were going bad, he started praising Jonathan. Before then, info had it that Jonathan was about to go to exile abroad as Buhari was hounding him from corner to corner.

How can a man win a presidential election and made the 5% and 75% speech, use bullets to fire on civil protests, send jet fighters and bombers to localities where youths engaged in militancy after getting tired with many years of asking for democratic reforms?

Reno de bring light? Make dem commot for road.

Pharaoh9:
Buhari should also condemned the sharia court for their sharia law,

About 90% of Nigerian Christians are ignorant of the evils the sharia criminal codes adopted by the twelve northern states have in stock for them Christians in Nigeria.

Pharaoh9:
the Kano states sharia court does sentence people to death by hanging for blasphemy, Buhari won't condemn it


https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwiR04WS347NAhUCKJQKHeAhCgsQFggiMAE&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.premiumtimesng.com%2Fnews%2Ftop-news%2F185661-kano-sharia-court-sentences-9-to-death-for-blasphemy.html&usg=AFQjCNHrunKmcfyKbFmVE7n2imJ2w9jEOA

Two Northern Nigeria women sentenced to death for adultery escaped to Italy. They have been granted Italian Citizenship.

But northern Nigeria political and religious leaders pick quarrels with Rome by saying that Italy is undermining their religious way of life of northern Nigerians.

The woman was beheaded according to the injunction of Sharia Criminal Codes.

Buhari said he wouldn't stop until sharia criminal codes are applied in all of Nigeria.

So what is Buhari shedding crocodile tears for?

Inside Aso Rock, and alone, Buhari may shout Allahu akbar when he heard the news of the beheaded woman
Curse may only be upon those who still crave one Nigeria.

Twelve northern Nigeria states had since created their own country to be governed by sharia criminal codes.

But one section of southern Nigeria still blackmail the other parts of the south struggling to opt out of an impossible one Nigeria.

Because of common crude oil.

unstableaswater:
Nobody have mad a stronger case for the division of Nigeria that the Cor Northern states of Sokoto, Zamfara, Katsina, Kano, Jigawa, Yobe and Borno.

1) Abduction of Christian girls, rape and forced islamisation/marriage at age of 12/13.


2) Murder of Pastor wife for Blasphemy without due hearing in court. Who made the murders Judge, Jury and Executioner?


3) Christmas Day bombing of Catholic Church, murdering the entire congregation. Mohammed must be proud!


4) Fulani endless attack on Christian communities in the Middlebelt and the genocide that follows.


5) Using Sharia Law to undermine fundamental the federal constitution. Thus violating rights of non muslims.


6) Born to rule mentality, that have allowed certificateless Northerners to destroy our Economy, simply becos they are no qualified for the position of President.


7)Northernization of the Army and the unequal treatment meted out to southerners in their own villages when faced with threat by Fulani. Arrest of village youth requesting Fulani return their mothers and sister they had earlier abducted in Enugu.


cool95% and 5% investment mentality of Northern President, that has ensured the South lacks in infrastructure development whilst the north can boost of infrastructure development. This is despite much of Nigeria resources comes from the south.


9)Northernisation of political offices, from Military to federal parastatals and civil service.


10) The north constantly applying threat of violence and coercion rather than diplomacy in their dealings with the South. They forget that nobody have a monopoly of violence.

Problem is that more of the politicians from the se and ss are in politics only for their pockets and stomachs of the members of their families.

So northern politicians hit their boots on ground all over the se and ss.

But these ss and se politicians don't understand that after Fula finishes intimidation of the youths in the ss and se, Fula can then start to grab and raaape the wives and daughters of these selfish se and ss politicians.

otiigba1:
What are the Igbos still doing in Hausa land? Its obvious the can never coexits.
Any Igbo still living in Hausa land lives there at their own risks.

Words on marble.

They know that any university degree bearing the name of a Nigerian university is looked at somehow, somehow.

They robbed Nigeria deaf, underdeveloped Nigeria, but now Buhari hunts only Jonathan affiliates in his fight against corruption.

KINGinVALHALA3:
And those avengers, abi na scavengers where boastful that Buhari cancelled his trip to rivers because of their mere threat.
The Buhari my father told me about and I have also come to know can never be moved by threats from some street criminals.

Get well soon my dear and amiable president.

Your amiable president is a foe for millions of others.

So when people say Nigeria is not ONE and may never be one, you don't get disturbed.

It's natural, when groups of people mistakenly formed a country discover that they do not share common value systems, they dissolve their union, instead of killing themselves.

How can a person from eastern Nigeria continue to share one country with these most barbaric northern Nigerians that behead humans.

Since Buhari became president, CNN and BBC, no longer carry news of EVIL killings by Islamic people which Have been happening in Nigeria.

Turn to CNN , it's Dangote advertising all the beauty about Dangote business in Nigeria from whatever you hear Nigeria mentioned.

ibez007:
I strongly believe this is Nothing related to shariah, not in anyway!.

Another politicking saga!...

From B H... to NDA... to....

Which way Nigeria!

You deceive only yourself?

This is part of the markings for the end of one Nigeria.

The twelve northern Nigeria states that adopted sharia criminal codes had since carved out their new Islamic sharia country from Nigeria.

Problem is that a most apolitical section of southern Nigeria don't even understand that.
This most apolitical group in the south keeps on blackmailing rest of the south who want to leave Nigeria peacefully.

Without this most apolitical group in the south, the rest in the south can forcefully free themselves from Nigeria and the north can't do much about it

HungerBAD:
Exactly what we were complaining about earlier.

Between Christianity and Islam,I actually don't know which is worse. I am a Christian,and I know the bible teaches us not to lie.

But these Christian Elders,are not only lying openly,but are going against the Doctrine of the Bible by bearing false witness.

How did you Elders know he wants to use the back door to Islamize this Country?where in the bible does it even say some Christians are Elders?

You guys trying to give Buhari a bad name by all means.

Jokers.

You are a big joke of the century.

What is lie? Is there no attempt in the National Assembly today to legalize some aspects of sharia criminal laws? Even Speaker Dogara confirmed this.

Your fellow Muslims are voting you high.

No more Jet Fighters and Bombers to subdue the dissidents?

Uncoordinated policies and policy somersault - the hallmark of Buhari's administration.

Little wonder they say Idiagbon was the brain behind Buhari's military regime between 1983 to 1985

Oloniyan:
In as much as I support one entity, I wouldn't support forceful marriage of grunted people. Let's all regional leaders come to table and put heads together. But why is Confab report not implemented
Why

CONFAB Report can't be implemented by Buhari government because Buhari believes that the present political status quo - rigged political structure and over-empowered Abuja central government - favours his northern Nigeria most.
Northern Nigeria soldiers created the undue large number of states and local government areas in the north by wrong use of land mass as yard stick. With this structure, more of Nigeria's development resources, including federal allocations are sucked up to the north.

The north also acquires undue large number of political representation in the NASS, and in all facets of the political process, with which it literally dictates what can only be in Nigeria, including who will be president.

Jonathan pleaded with the south west in Lagos during one of his campaign trips to vote him for second term so that he would implement the CONFAB Report, because the then National Assembly was hostile to the CONFAB.

Na una go tire, abi una don begin tire?

Censorship of opinions of a section of any society is the most primitive thing a modern person can think of doing.

HungerBAD:
Buhari the great slayer of Corruption and Thieves.

Who could have thought there will be a Nigerian,that can look at a thieving General in the face,and send them to face the sweet music of Atutupoyoyo in the Gulag?

God bless you Buhari.

The Journey of sanitizing Nigeria is a gradual process,and after you deal with these left over kleptomaniancs from Jonathan's era,we will then face the economic saboteurs of this great Country.

Gradually and gradually,the noose is getting close to Goodluck Jonathan.

I will kill a Capon(castrated male fowl)the day Jonathan is arrested,tried and sentenced to jail.

Buhari can only get this praise after EFCC arraigned the known biggest corrupt Generals.

bloodyBLOGGER:
NDA should keep blowing up pipelines while the SE continue protesting. They both should know that others are not disturbed progress-wise. We don't mind welcoming investors from their region down to ours.

The same old childish blackmail.

Fear, Jonathan can't do nada, nothing.

He is out of power.

He is not a darling to the militants in the Niger delta.

Through out his tenure as president, Jonathan pleased the north with development projects, including the first standard gauge rail line in Nigeria, as he believed the north would help him for 're-election; he did not do much for his Niger delta.


When Jonathan was president and Boko was bombing him out of office, Buhari warned Nigeria Army that the army fight against Boko was like a fight against the north.

It's not hard to understand that Jonathan will just stay aloof for now and watch events unfold.
