All the best brother.

Amnesty kill you there

There have been stories about Mrs. Dezianni's $12.5m bra amongs other very expensive items being auctioned by FG. I am one of the curious Nigerians looking out for the site where the bra and other items would be put up on sale. Apparently, the Federal Government has not helped to provide the site or auctioneer's address because I am interested as the items would definitely be collector's choice items. My curiosity has however pushed me to question a few things that do not seem right. My curiosity, therefore, led me to fact-check this bra in particular and when they were made, by who and how Dezuane got to be a proud owner. Now, this is what I found out:

"The world's most expensive bra is the $12.5-million (£8.5-million) Heavenly Star Bra, by Victoria's Secret, created in 2001. It features 1,200 Sri Lankan pink sapphires and as its centerpiece, a 90-carat emerald cut diamond that was worth $10.6 million (£7.28 million) alone at the time. The 2005 Sexy Splendor Fantasy Bra also had a $12.5-million selling price, though in comparative terms its value is less than that of the 2001 bra. Both bras were part of the Victoria's Secret Fantasy Bra line" https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/most-expensive-bra

So, from above, here are some important facts;
i. There was ONLY two of those bras made, namely, the Heavenly Star Bra in2001 and the Sexy Splendor Fantasy Bra in 2005. Please, note those years.
ii. Both bras were made by Victoria's Secrets and each was worth $12.5m
iii. The particular one that is being paraded as having been acquired by Deziane is the 2001 bra. with the following description, "It features 1,200 Sri Lankan pink sapphires and as its centerpiece, a 90-carat emerald cut diamond" You can see the picture attached, that it matches what Federal Government of Nigeria claimed they recovered from Deziane's home.
I went online to Victoria Secrets' webpage to see if the same bra is still available now on sale or still being made, it is no longer available, confirming that ONLY one was made. The same bra that has gone viral as Dezianne's bra was worn by Heidi Klum in 2002 and I am wondering if Dezianne bought it after. Please, keep reading ...

Now let us do a little study of Mrs Dezianne Alison Madueke herself. Who was Mrs Dezianne Alison before she became Nigeria's minister?

"Diezani Alison-Madueke was born on the 6th of December, 1960 in Port Harcourt, Rivers State into the family of Chief Frederick Abiye Agama. After completing her primary and secondary education in Nigeria, she secured admission to study Architecture in England but completed it at Howard University in the United States. Diezani Alison-Madueke returned to Nigeria on completing her bachelor's degree and joined Shell Petroleum Development Corporation. In 2002, after working with Shell for some years, she attended Cambridge Judge Business School for her MBA degree. After returning to Nigeria, she was appointed as an Executive Director in Shell, becoming the first woman ever to be appointed by Shell as an Executive Director in Nigeria. Diezani Alison-Madueke has held several significant positions in Nigeria and beyond. In July 2007, she was appointed Transportation Minister and a year later, she became the Minister of Mines and Steel Development. ... In February 2010, Alison-Madueke was appointed Minister for Petroleum Resources.

Career Achievements
• Diezani Alison-Madueke was the first woman to be appointed as an Executive Director by Shell in Nigeria - April 2006.
• She was the first female Federal Minister of Transportation in Nigeria - July 2007.
• She was the first female Federal Minister of Mines and Steel Development - December 2008.
• She was the first female Federal Minister for Petroleum Resources - April 2010.
• She was the first woman to serve as the president of the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) - November 2014 to December 2015."

Now, the question that our lazy journalists, bloggers, news YouTubers, etc should have been asking are these?
i. When did Deziani acquire the most expensive bra? Was it in 2001 or 2007 when she became minister or 2010 when she became Petroleum minister?
ii. When did Victoria Secrets sell the Heavenly Star bra? Was it in the bra in the market for 9 years? That is from 2001 till 2010 when Dezianne bought it as petroleum minister?

Rather our journalists have become copy typists, who do no research but publish everything that Lie Muhammad and Femi Adesina dishes to them. No initiatives, no fact-finding, they just rush to the press and in the end, look stupid.

Conclusion: Just like all previous spurious allegations made by the Buhari-led APC government, Deziane never owned the Heavenly Star Bra. This is just another Buhari-government's propaganda, in the face of perceived threats by the PDP. You all know that anytime PDP is gaining ground, a FAT LIE about former officials of the PDP government will just arise. It is either Saraki is invited for questioning or Kwankwaso or Deziane loot, just any lie to distract gullible Nigerians. This government only thrives on falsehood, lies, and propaganda with NOTHING to show Nigerians as achievements after 6 and half years.
Everything said to have been recovered from Deziane's home, golden pen, 135 wedding gowns, etc, etc are all LIES. They were made up to deceive gullible Nigerians, to distract the populace from their failure. They were made to give Nigerians stories that will take their mind off their obvious failure and threatening insecurities all over Nigeria. With BBN gone, the youth have nothing else to occupy their minds, so they look for a distraction, here and there.

APC - Never Again!!!

Never again ooo.
Affliction shall not arise the second time.

How are the mighty fallen??!

You should be charged for hate speech

Over to 'LATEEF'

Not this NASS. They're in his pocket. We are in for a long thing, the long night will soon be over...
This too shall pass.

Governor with balls made of steel!
Kudos Arakunrin. So apt and accurate.

SirBunky85:
so,aregberascal now feels he's arrived and wants to scatter all the previous privileges he enjoyed via the magnanimity of Tinubu? He should watch it. The useless advise he got from elrufai to challenge Tinubu will be his undoing

Watch it, he will soon become IDP politician.

Numerouno94:
This man is jux trying to evade the truth. I hv traveled to abt 25 states of the 36 we hv nd i can authoritatively say that our Aboki brothers top the drug consumption chain in Nigeria. Especially in Kano. Those guys can inhale anything down to suckaway. Lol.

You will marvel if you get to discover what is going in Sokoto.

uptownmusic:
Is this a joke or

Your comments is neither funny, logical or reasonable. The state might have other reasons or plans for the lands. Nairaland is filled with kids. Seun find a way to sanitize nairaland, intelligent people will leave it for terrorists, secessionists and dumb people soon.

Immigration plays a fast one on NA there.

Davash222:
Safe to call Nigeria Army land grabbers

Not land grabber in my opinion.
Nigeria Army started her barracks in Benin city from that location in the olden days. Now two places have been allocated to them; Isihor(School of Supply and Transport)And Ekenwa(Barracks) as it were. Nigeria Immigration has been sharing the place for sometimes now.

Whenever there is confrontation between men from both agencies, the atmosphere is always tensed. It's better one vacate for the other.

Where's the lie?

Biglittlelois:
Proof? I'm following Jack and he didn't tweet anything like that, coming from same man quoting penal code of northern Nigeria as the Nigerian constitution, is this man truly a SAN? Or he's using oluwole certificate?

In a sane society, that man should be shown way out of that hallowed office and resume as Attorney General for his Penal code community.

If sheikh doesn't make the said list, it is unacceptable...

The apology is a commendable one for me.

BKayy:
Then, they count from kobo and getting up to a thousand naira then was no joke.
I know people that built decent houses with 6 thousand naira. The houses are still standing.
Dont be confused with the numbers but the quality. It's just like Ghana Cedis, removing or adding few zeros doesn't change the value.

The equivalent of 4000 naira in 1982 to now is 1.4m
Those thinking that it is the same with the 4k they have in their pockets right now should keep that in mind.

Are you sure it's not about 3M now?

His death is so painful. I still don't understand why he had to remain in this useless country where those in control want him dead and can go to any length to achieve it.

He could have relocated to Ghana or even seek asylum in the West for protection. The family or associates should go for autopsy.

He said he's ready to lay his life down. What's a pity and loss. Rip to the dead

The Fulani will feel the heat after Buhari leaves in 2023 if it's true

Same thing I told a brother earlier today, they have successfully made them an endangered species... Na the peace loving ones among them I pity pass, when the tide turns, it will be hard to differentiate.
