Oh Nigeria!

Nobody take Nigeria serious anymore. How the mighty has fallen.

Kogi Radio, the popular Confluence FM has been closed down over lack of money to buy petrol WAR has learned.

The station that commenced operation in 1992 and is located at the hilltop of the famous Mt Patti has since been shut down since Tuesday.

Mr. Ameh, a Lokoja resident who is very close to the Managing Director of the radio station, explained how the MD has been funding the radio station with his money and could not continue because he does not have money anymore as a result of the coronavirus consequences.

He explained that some of his friends that work at the radio station have since stopped going to work for over a week.

This is even as he narrated that the station works partially before it was finally shut down.

Mr. Amana, another Lokoja resident, who prefers his first name mentioned, told WAR the radio station has been struggling to operate, pointing out that it works less than eight hours in a day as against 24 hours a radio station of its kind is supposed to operate.

Insider sources within the radio station told WAR, the Kogi State government has since stopped funding the radio, and, has stopped it from accessing any fund from the state.

The sources added that the refusal of the state government to fund the radio has since exposed it to struggle for survival which cannot continue for lack of funds.

When WAR, sought the explanation of Mr. Kingsley Fanwo, the Kogi state commissioner of information, he declined to speak.

EFCC blocks ex-Minister Alison-Madueke’s offer to return to Nigeria for trial
September 21, 2017Richard Akinwumi
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Wednesday successfully blocked an attempt by embattled former Petroleum Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke, to return to Nigeria from London to face trial.
Mrs. Alison-Madueke had fled to London shortly after she left office in May 2015, and has stayed away from the country since then.
She later became an object of interest to the UK National Crime Agency which has since then being investigating her for corruption and money laundering. Already some assets linked to her in that country have been frozen.
Those familiar with the matter say she is barred from travelling out of the UK while the investigation lasts.
But it now appears the former minister is tired of staying in the UK, and now wants to return to Nigeria, where she is also being investigated for massive corruption.
As part of the plot, she recently filed an application before Justice Nnamdi Dimgba of the Federal High Court, Abuja, seeking to be joined as defendant in the trial of businessman Jide Omokore.
Mr. Omokore, chairman, Atlantic Energy Brass Development and Atlantic Energy Drilling Concept, is facing a nine-count charge along with Victor Briggs, a former Managing Director, National Petroleum Development Company; Abiye Membere, a former Group Executive Director, Exploration and Production at the NNPC, and David Mbanefo, a former Manager, Planning and Commercial at NNPC, for an alleged $1.6 billion fraud.
But counsel for Mrs. Alison-Madueke, Onyechi Ikpeazu (SAN), suddenly, on September 18, filed an application for his client to be joined as defendant, based on the fact that her name was mentioned in count eight of the charge.


He sought an amendment of the charge to include her as the seventh defendant, “in order to give her the opportunity to defend herself”.
In the said application, the former minister also requested the court to direct the Attorney General of the Federation to facilitate her appearance in court in Nigeria on the next adjourned date in October 2017.
That would have meant Nigeria requesting Britain to allow her travel out of the UK to attend the court hearing.
The EFCC however interpreted her action as a ploy to escape prosecution in the UK and frustrate the ongoing trial in Nigeria.
In mounting a strong challenge to the application, the counsel for the EFCC, M.S. Abubakar, in an 18-paragraph counter-affidavit, vehemently opposed the filing, arguing that, “the applicant realized she was being investigated, and she absconded abroad and sometimes in March this year operatives were in London, but her lawyers refused to allow the operatives interview her.
“My lord, this present application is a plot by the applicant to enable her escape prosecution in London, also to enable her come to Nigeria and scuttle the ongoing case which has already gotten to an advanced stage.”
After hearing arguments by both parties, Justice Dimgba declined to grant the application, and instead, struck out the eighth count in which the former minister’s name appeared.
The verdict effectively ended her dream of returning home after holing up in London for more than two years.
It remains unclear whether she would appeal the ruling.
The trial of Mr. Omokore and his co-defendants continues on October 5, the spokesperson for the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, said in a statement.

Government of propaganda & deceit.

This govt is playing with the intelligence of informed Nigerians.

NGpatriot:
The topic is about progress and development in the SE so why are your lamenting and crying or irrelevant and bigoted nonsense about the North?

Elevate yourself above basement mentality, tribalism, bigotry and negativity.

If its about development in whatever guise, it should be strictly treated as such & not some nincompoop who use every given opportunity to mock & malign the Southeast to be thankful. Why should they be thankful?
Tell that to your parasitic region led by Buhari to elevate above your stupid assertions.

NGpatriot:
I just wonder why the same tax money was never used to build or commission any project in the whole of SE for 16 years.


Is the SE alargic to using tax money to develop the SE or you are just naturally bitter development or no development? Parasite!

The world is passing you by while you swim deep inside foolishness, bigotry and tribalism.

Irrespective of party affiliation,the Parasitic North is the same with one goal. You can't deceive me with party narration of 16yrs & of 5yrs dichotomy.
The greatest bigotry & tribalism is perpetuated by the parasitic North excluding the middle beltans. Why should someone thank you for using the barrel of the gun to steal another man's resources.
You only know "one North" during election but relegate the middle belt to the background when sharing the gains with the deceits of divide & rule.
Parasite!

Kosoco:
Thank You to The FG.... Atleast Igbo’s will be grateful for this...

The so called money or resources use in renovating the Airport is gotten from the oil producing areas & also from the tax gotten from Lagos. The last time i checked, Buhari's constituency i.e the parasitic region hasn't contributed nothing to the national revenue.
The gratitude should be given to those areas where the money is sourced & not to Buhari cos he didn't use his money nor did he use any resources from the parasitic North.

May his soul rest in Peace.
I believe he has acquired enough wealth that will be enough for his future generations.
Nigeria is survival of FITTEST. Loot & gather as much & enough wealth so that the future of your unborn children will be guaranteed even when you're long gone, then your children will be celebrated & envied.
If i lie ask those Arewa kids that are being celebrated with fleshy car & houses

May his soul rest in Peace.

Gandollar:
This is the mindset patience Jonathan came to aso rock with, but the little she took within a short nearly killed them die!

At least Patience Jonathan region produce the oil & money that is sustaining Nigeria. but the most bizarre is those whose region do not contribute anything or even produce groundnut oil let alone crude oil but they're are sitting on top & looting massively for their generation yet unborn.

Nigeria is survival of the fittest. Grab as much as you can for your generation yet unborn.
I salute the parents & uncles of those Arewa youths, they're wiser & smarter.
Note: Those youths are in their Teens and Twenties and already commanding hundreds of million of Naira.

No Niger Delta Youth can boost of such opulence and splendor.no beefing i salute them, their parents are smarter and wiser. Nigeria is survival of the fittest. Grab as much as you can for your generation yet unborn.
Wait o,I noticed whenever there is a strong opinion against the unequal distribution of wealth and the nepotism going on. People tend to refer the fellow as Ipob or ibo. Are they trying to say Niger Deltans have been so battered & are comfortable & can no longer speak for themselves & against the massive degradation in Ogoni,Itsekiri, Izon,Ikwerre Land etc?

dukeprince50:
Timaya, Taribo west, Agbani Daerego and some silent billionaires are also Niger Delta, wealth is spread across the country but not across the people

All the people you mentioned, everyone knows the source of their wealth, most of them are through individual hard work without govt support & those guys are in their 40s & 50s. But those arewa youths are in their teens and twenties without known source of income. You and i know in Nigeria today you can't be stinkingly rich at that age except there's already made wealth on ground acquired by their parents & uncles.
I salute them & most especially their parents.

No Niger Delta Youth can boost of such opulence and splendor.no beefing i salute them, their parents are smarter and wiser. Nigeria is survival of the fittest. Grab as much as you can for your generation yet unborn.

The town of Arochukwu in Abia state have similar culture with Ibibios in Akwa ibom. I use to wonder why an Igbo land will have the same thing with a Niger delta land.

Ojiofor:
Her twitter account is still very much active,stop acting like her.

Her twitter page is back a while ago, but i noticed her followers has reduced from 234,000K plus to 75.1K. What really happened during the time her page was on blackout? What went wrong? We'll hear from her i guess, although she has not tweeted today.
Edited: she just tweets about 20mins ago. Ppl are asking her what happened to her page & the reduced followers.

What did the OP mean by fact check? you're giving your own view,opinion & analysis and you're calling it fact check. Carry your fact check go one side biko. Another new tactics from BMC crew.

Ephesians 5:22-24
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.

Its my money and I will decide on how or whom to reach out to(the less privilege). Christianity did not say if you don't give to almajiri or someone from the North you seize to be a Christian. A lot of businesses have crumbled due to the archaic policies and programs of the Buhari administration which has rendered a lot of people hopeless,helpless and out of Jobs and businesses. I believe a lot of people voted Atiku/Obi not because they're the best but because they believe he'll initiate friendly policies/programs that will encourage SMEs and Entrepreneurship drive.Pls don't bring 'trader money'or NPOWER', because the China you use as an illustration in your babaric quest to stifle the voice of the voiceless through the regulations of the social media, They(China) didn't grow her economy by given traders 10K or handing out handouts in the name of NPOWER. If you intend to copy China,pls copy In Total.
