While Nigerians are still speculating the actual reason behind the sudden appreciation of the Naira over major International currencies since February 20, 2017 and Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) sudden change of policy, Mr Babatunde Gbadamosi, a Lagos Businessman and former governorship candidate, who exposed in details the monumental organized foreign currency fraud by the Buhari government and officials of CBN was arrested and still detained by the Department of Security Services (DSS) since February 22, 2017.

In a social media video which went viral, Mr Gbadamosi frowned at the shabby practices where those that genuinely need foreign currencies for Business are not provided with any, while the President's allies and the cronies of CBN big-wigs are receiving them at ridiculous low rates of N3/$1.
Every effort to secure Mr Gbadamosi's release has proved abortive. The DSS has ensure that no one visits or see the incarcerated voice of the Nigerian opposition in the secret detention center he was dumped six days ago and sources close to Hope For Nigeria within the secret police headquarters in Abuja are claiming that Gbadamosi was accused of blackmailing the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Government by releasing those classified information about forex sales.
Regrettably, while Mr Babatunde Gbadamosi is languishing in DSS secret detention center for saving Nigeria from the forex mafia, Nigerians are giving the glory to the acting President Osibanjo who raised no finger in the new development where the CBN suspended forex sales to cronies and allies of President Buhari and sudden revert to the polices of the former President Goodluck Jonathan, where the Naira is protected with our external reserve.
Re-echoing the concern of Nigerians including that of the former CBN governor and the Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido who revealed the operation of over 20 different foreign exchange rates by the CBN and some Nigerians making billions of Naira daily from their gardens trading dollar they bought at an alarming low rates, Mr Gbadamosi demanded that these sharp practices should stop in other for the country to survive the self-induced recession.

Gbadamosi quoting various media sources in the Video, stated that the CBN was selling forex to some close allies of President Muhammadu Buhari for as low as N3 to $1 through what is called Bills of Collection. People where given Dollars with cold claims that their Form M was filled and submitted like 35 years ago but forex was not released. They cartel only has to claim that they made their importation in 1985 but forex was not released to you despite submitting duly completed Form M.
With all documents perfected, the forex will then be released at the prevailing rate in 1985. They will get $3 million at N5/ $1 and selling to end users at say N480/ $1. The said customer will be making about N1.425billion in one transaction.
He listed transactions by some individuals that got $4,327 at the rate of N23.34 to $1 through “credit card payment” for “invisible” purpose and under “invisible sector”. A bank also got $3,589.11 at the rate of N3.19 to $1 also for “invisible” purposes and under “invisible” sector. There was a transaction involving sale of $66.72 at the rate of N0.62 to $1. There was also a sale of $5.56 to a company at the rate of N0.61 also for “invisible” purposes. A particular transaction also involved the sale of $570.8 at the rate N3.17.
In contrast, there was a company, who purchased $1,462,480.83 at the rate of N425 to $1. The document shows that individuals and companies got foreign exchange for purposes ranging from importation, PTA, school fees, “invisible”, family maintenance allowances, mortgage payments and medical travel among others.
This video lead the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami (SAN), to query the CBN Governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, demanding “prompt response” to the allegations of corruption in the CBN’s foreign exchange allocation and transactions. Multiple Petitions against the CBN indicated how some companies and individuals got foreign exchange in US dollars at the rates as low as low as N0.61 to $1 while others got it in rates that were as high as N470 to $1.

Malami, in the letter, dated February 6, 2017, and with reference number, HAGF/CBN/2017/VOL.1/1, asked Emefiele to respond to the allegations “to enable us to advise the Presidency and take appropriate measures.”
Titled ‘allegations of racketeering in the Central Bank of Nigeria; disparity in allocation of foreign exchange’, and addressed to Emefiele, the letter was delivered to the CBN governor’s office on Monday.
The allegations in the attorney general's letter to Emefiele includes:-
alleged corruption in the apex bank’s “foreign exchange allocation transactions.
2. questionable policy in CBN’s allocation and sale of foreign currency to Nigerians.
3. arbitrary allotment of different exchange rates for same purposes.
4. allocation of conflicting foreign exchange rates.
The DSS has not charged Mr Gbadamosi after six days of arrest and they denied him medical attention, family visits and rejected the request for his lawyers to see him or be informed of the reason for his arrest.
It is shocking to note that Nigerians are enjoying the appreciation of the Naira over major currencies and praising the CBN and the government that overseas the foreign currency fraud that almost crippled the Nigerian economy while the man who scarified neck for us, is under chain and locked up in secret detention center

A whole Nairaland moved fake news to front page without confirming if the link is actually of CNN. This is shameful.

I happened to have some coursemates who went to King's College. They were very good. I think it depends on individual.

Trekking na the guy hobby

Abubakar Duduwale, a popular trekker recently revealed his quest to trek from Nigeria, starting in Kaduna, to the U.K.

Last year, he had trekked from Yola to Abuja to drum support for President Buhari. The 43 year old who hails from Yola, Adamawa State, said he wished to raise awareness on terrorism and its effect on lives and properties of the people directly affected. He said:

“I mean to pass the message that terrorism is evil and must be stopped,” he said.

He explained that his journey would lead him to Niger State from where he would move to Abuja and then to the U.K
“I have trekked round the 19 northern states of Nigeria promulgating the gospel of peace and war against terrorism, insurgency, corruption, drug abuse as well as promoting unity.

”I started trekking in 2008 when I decided not to sleep in Adamawa State that particular day and I moved from my village to the border between Nigeria and Cameroon. My trekking is not for fun but for world peace. We must shun all negative tendencies.” Abubakar said

Prior to the recent clampdown of Judges, the exchange of letters between the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Department of State Security Service, DSS, was on Monday evening, leaked to the public domain.

This came as mixed reactions continue to trail the arrest and investigation of 15 Judges nationwide, for alleged corruption, by the DSS.

It was gathered, that investigations into the Judges started as far back as February, 2016.

The leaked correspondence exclusively obtained by Thisday Newspaper, shows that the National Judicial Council, NJC, rejected the investigation into the Judiciary, citing separation of powers, and rule of law.

The NJC also informed the DSS, that it was not amenable to “invitations being extended to Judicial Officers, by Departments and Agencies of government for any reason”.

Preparatory to their arrests, the DSS had on October 5, obtained search warrants from a Magistrate Court, in Abuja, for Justices Nnamdi Dimgba, Sylvester Nwali Ngwuta, A.A. Ademola, and John Inyang Okoro.

In one letter, dated April 19, 2016, the NJC, through its Secretary, Danladi Halilu, on behalf of the CJN, wrote to the DSS, acknowledging its letter titled, Re: Corrupt Practices of Justice Pindiga, which was dated February, 26, 2016.

In the said letter, the NJC wrote: “Reference your petition dated 26th February, 2016, to the Hon. President of the Court of Appeal, and copied to the Honourable, the Chief Justice of Nigeria and Chairman of the Nigerian Judicial Council, Hon. Justice Mahmud Mohammed, GCON, against Hon. Justice M.A. Pindiga, of the High Court of Justice, Gombe State, on the above subject matter.

“I have been directed to inform you that your complaint has not complied with the extant Judicial Discipline Regulation 2014 of the Council, as it was not accompanied with a verifying affidavit, deposed to by you, before a court of record.

“In view of the forgoing, you may wish to comply, please.”

In yet another letter to the Director General, DG, DSS, dated August 29, 2016, and signed this time by the CJN, the NJC, acknowledged receipt of a petition dated August 5, 2016, on corrupt practices, and professional misconduct, by Justice Nnamdi Dimgba, of the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court.

It further informed the DSS DG, that action was being taken on the petition.

Then in a letter, dated September 7, 2016, titled:

“Re: Corrupt Practices of Justice Pindiga”, which was signed by the Secretary of the NJC, the Council adopted a more dismissive tone, saying that its investigation had not found Justice Pindiga wanting, that would warrant his sanction.

It stated: “Reference your Petition No. DGSS.71/3161, dated February 26, 2016, to the Honourable, the Chief Justice of Nigerian and Chairman of the National Judicial Council, Hon. Justice Mahmud Mohammed, GCON, against the Hon. Justice M.A. Pindiga, of the High Court of Justice, Gombe State, on the above subject matter.

“At its meeting of 1st and 2nd of June 2016, Council constituted a Fact Finding Committee, comprising its members under the Chairmanship of Hon. B.A. Adejumo, OFR, President of the National Industrial Court, to investigate the allegations contained in your petition, among others.

“At its meeting which held on the 14th and 15th of July 2015, Council considered and deliberated extensively on the report, and noted that the Officer that represented your office at the Investigative Committee, averred that your office could not conduct full investigation of the petition to obtain hard facts to support the preliminary report, as allegedly, your organisation was directed by the Honourable, the Chief Justice of Nigeria and Chairman of the National Judicial Council, to stay further action on the matter, to allow the National Judicial Council look into it.

“At the end of deliberation, Council found that the claim by your organisation is not correct, as the Honourable, the Chief Justice of Nigeria and Chairman of the National Judicial Council, Hon. Mahmud Mohammed, GCON, did not stop your office from conducting full investigation, so as to obtain hard facts to support preliminary findings, and proof of allegations, without inviting Hon. Justice Pindiga to your office, having done so when he was serving as the Chairman of the Election Petition Tribunal.

“Consequently, in the absence of any patent evidence to substantiate the allegations contained in your petition against the Judicial Officer, Council was unable to find any act of misconduct to warrant His Lordship being sanctioned.

“Council further directed that, while it is appreciative of the wonderful working relationship between the Judiciary and other Arms of Government, in fidelity with the Principles of Separation of Powers, and Rule of Law, it is not amenable to invitations being extended to Judicial Officers, by Departments and Agencies of government for any reason.”

The Council’s letter, elicited a swift and angry response on September 14, 2016, from the DSS, which first reprimanded the NJC, for having the temerity to address the DG of the DSS, Mr. L.M. Daura, by his name, in its letter of September 7.
Signed by Mr. Ahmed Ahmad on behalf of the DG, the DSS made it abundantly clear, that the NJC’s letter should have been addressed to the “Director-General, Department of State Services, simpliciter”, and all correspondence should henceforth bear the correct nomenclature, and address of the DG, DSS.

After letting off steam over the correct nomenclature to be used for the DG, DSS, the letter stated: “I am further directed to note paragraph 5 of your letter, in which it was stated that the “Council is not amenable to invitations being extended by Departments and Agencies of government for any reason”, and to observe that if this is strictly adhered to, it would constitute a serious obstacle on the path of Agencies of government, saddled with the responsibilities of carrying out, or conducting investigation into any criminal act by the Judicial Officers concerned.”

The letter went on to remind the Council, that under the provisions of the Nigerian Constitution, “only the President, Vice President, and sitting Governors, and their Deputies, are conferred with immunity”.

“Even then, this immunity does not exempt them from criminal, or security investigation,” it noted.

It said: “In view of the foregoing, and the fact that Council has concluded action on the Pindinga case, I further directed to humbly request you to direct Justice Mu’azu Pindiga, to report to the National Headquarters of the Department of State Service, to see the Director Operations on 15th September, 2016, at 11:00 hours unfailingly.”

Responding on the day Pindiga was supposed to appear at the DSS, the Secretary of the NJC, wrote to the DSS, reminding it that its manner of address in the letter of September 7, in which it used Daura’s name and his designation was not disrespectful, nor was it unusual, and that the council had in the past, written similar official letters to “Mr. President, Senate President, Hon. Ministers, State Governors, and Heads of Government Departments, Agencies, and Institutions, in similar manner, by addressing same in their names and designations as well”.

It stated however, that the Council had noted the DSS’ observations, and would henceforth address all correspondence to the DG, DSS.

“Therefore, all the observations contained in the letter aforesaid, will be presented before Council at its next meeting, scheduled for 28th and 29th September, 2016, and the outcome of which will be communicated to your office, instant”.

Ostensibly, the DSS was believed to have written another letter to the NJC, requesting for the records of proceedings of deliberations, and or decision of the Council, but this was turned down by the Council in a letter dated October 7, 2016, thus prompting the DSS to move in to arrest the Judges under its watch.

This government is a very useless and insensitive one. To all those that craved for change, here it is. To you ex-militants, welcome to [/s]chains[/s] change...

These guys are not ex-militants. They were selected for the scholarship after the screening exams and interview.

lolademariam:
Who sabi them?

You are just too mean. Do you know what these guys are passing through? I happen to know some guys who are on that same scholarship. They are passing through hell. Since September last year till date NDDC has refused to give them living allowance. How do they survive. Many of them have borrow so much. Imagine, some have already rounded off their studies yet NDDC management has refused to pay them their living allowance. This is the height of injustice. This present government don't care about the plight of the average Nigerian at all. Only God can save us.

It will be difficult to attain. It can't go far with the current battery technology.

Man inhumanity to man

There were indications on Tuesday evening that militants operating in the Niger Delta may have again blown up a gas pipeline belonging to the Nigerian Agip Oil Company (NAOC) at Ogbembiri in Southern Ijaw local government area, Bayelsa State.

It would be more than a dozen times that the oil and gas facilities belonging to the Italian Oil giant would be breached this year alone.

The fresh attack by gunmen, it was learnt, occurred on the pipeline about 48 hours ago, which raised questions within the community as to why security agencies saddled with the responsibility of protecting oil installations had been unable to stop the frequent breaches.

Suspected ex-militants also recently attacked a pipeline carrying crude, located at Brass Local Government Area (LGA) of Bayelsa State, spilling the substance into the environment.

During the latest attack, the gunmen reportedly stormed the community at about 9:00pm, traced the pipeline and ruptured it at a point it was previously repaired after the last attack.

While some sources said dynamites were used to blow the pipeline, others said the gunmen deployed other mechanical devices to rupture the line along the axis.

The pipeline said to be a major gas supply facility in the country, reportedly crosses Tumor community in Bomadi, Delta State; Ogbuasiri in Ekeremor and Ogbembiri in Southern Ijaw, Bayelsa State.

“Agip awarded the contract for security surveillance and repairs of the pipeline in case of a breach to a contractor from the community.

“So, the contractor enjoys dual contract of protecting the pipeline and also repairing it whenever there is a leakage. But it is baffling how the pipeline increasingly comes under attack’’, a source said.

He added that the facility, “ is a major pipeline because it supplies gas for domestic consumption’’, noting that ‘’Agip has spent a lot of money fixing it.”

While the pipeline is said to be relatively safe in other communities, it has continued to be incessantly attacked at the Southern Ijaw community.
