chukwudi44:
Empty noise and initial gragra!! Nothing will come out of this!!! Saraki will remain senate president till 2019 whether Tinubu likes it or not

^^^Yet more proof that morally bankrupt Chukwudi needs his daily dose of deflection.

alaoeri:
This gibberish won't return Jona to power, never in this country will we have somebody as clueless as GEJ at the helm of affairs besides why ICPC didn't remitted the money into FG account during Jona's administration?

I am glad that you, like many of the respondents on this thread, see through the smokescreen.

TonyeBarcanista:
Let us learn to argue intellectually. When anti-corruption agencies recovers funds they don't handover them to the rightful owner(s) the next day. They prepare documents for investigation, arrests and prosecution (the funds act as evidence). Then they prepare necessary documents for transfer before FINALLY making the transfer. The most important thing is that the money get to the appropriate quarters. #Credit to GEJ, the Perm Secretary and ICPC


Let Buhari recover his own... He's yet to recover N1 despite his noise.

You think you are addressing one of your impressionable groupies?

Tdarry:
You seem not to get the point, monies recovered by the last administration always ended up as either a pointless "record keeping" exercise or in pockets of government officials. It never get remitted to the federations account.
Recovered monies are now being remitted under Buhari and no matter how many old newspaper articles you dig up, the truth remains that GEJ's administration made trillions from crude oil sales and squandered it, and recovered trillions from looted funds of Abacha and others which never ended up in govt coffers

Oh, he gets it alright.
It is just that obfuscation forms part of his staple diet.

tucky200:
bros all d money recovered by efcc and icpc under jona's regime where are they today ?cos I remember clearly senate are accusing efcc boss of diverting 11trn

What is your favourite poison bruv?
Mr Analyst must think we are all wet behind the ears.

TonyeBarcanista:
What are you saying? Money was recovered by ICPC, offenders arrested and the money kept. Don't you know that Police, ICPC, EFCC don't return moneies immediately after recovery? The most important is that the money was RECOVERED under GEJ, Kept by ICPC and they were asked to hand it over to Environmental Ministry by the Reps under GEJ.

10000000% credit goes to GEJ administration. Buhari is yet to recover N1 of stolen funds.

^^^LoL

To the emboldened portion of your post, I say: Jonathan's body language made it possible for both institutions to do as they wished, even as they failed to secure convictions in a lot of cases they investigated.

TonyeBarcanista:
I was actually working on the FIRST article when I saw your mention with VALUABLE infor for the second. I had to merge them. Though I'd still have figured it out.
Thanks

My Analyst, why did the ICPC kick this one into the long grass for 8 whole months?
Do you not think there were subterranean moves to suppress the case, given Jonathan's insouciance to corruption?

Funny @OP!

You figured all this out on your own? Or did you get a little help along the way, which you refused to acknowledge?

Anyway, question begging for answers: why did it take a change of regime for the ICPC to do the right thing?
Could it be inferred that stealing morphed into corruption, after your principal got booted out of office?

We all recall how so many of these cases were buried into the deep recesses of indifference, not so long ago.

TonyeBarcanista:
Misleading topic... What is Vanguard trying to achieve?

And what exactly is misleading about the article?

That Adeyanju (CEO of Detwinx Global Services Ltd), whose photo I include below, was not arrested in February of this year?
That the HoR did not direct the ICPC to return the recovered loot, as far back as April of this year?

THE House of Representatives has directed the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to within seven days, return the N924 million recovered by the agency to the Ministry of Environment.

The N924,989,776.96 million meant for Great Green Wall project was subject of a fraudulent transfer, which led to the anti-graft agency keeping it in a special recovery account.

4 Arrested Over N1bn Fraud In Environment Ministry

https://leadership.ng/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/independent_corrupt_practices_commission_icpc_logo_11-300x225.jpg

Anti graft agencies in the country are currently dealing with a case of monumental fraud in the Ministry of Environment involving alleged unauthorised transfer of N924.98 million from the ministry’s account with First City Monument Bank (FCMB) to the accounts of some organisations in four banks.

To this effect, the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) said it has taken into custody four suspects involved in the fraud.

This is coming barely one week after President Goodluck Jonathan had insisted that cases of theft should be treated seriously as stealing and not corruption, and against criticisms that his government was not doing enough to tackle corruption.

One of the key suspects in the alleged looting of the ministry’s funds, Mr Adeolu Adeyanju, a Chief Executive Officer of Detwinx Global Services Ltd whose company allegedly received the sum of N465,193,460.05 in its account with Zenith Bank was said to have been arrested by ICPC.

The other three suspects were arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and handed over to the ICPC, following an existing collaboration between the two agencies.

Adeolu Adeyanju who is said to have fled to a neighbouring country when the fraud was uncovered before he was arrested by ICPC after a manhunt, allegedly withdrew the said money on the same day the money was transferred from the FCMB account.

The three other suspects are Usman Omoh Sani who is the brother to a key suspect named Murphy Sani and now at large; Raphael Orim, managing director of De-Ormat Furniture and Abubakar Mamman Mutari of Afazuwa Ventures (Bureau De Change).

According to ICPC, they were all associated with the illegally transferred money or played a role in the withdrawals therefrom.

ICPC’s spokesman, Mr Folu Olamiti noted in a statement yesterday that the case was reported to the Commission by the Ministry of Environment via a letter dated 1st December, 2014.

He said following this, the commission commenced investigation by immediately freezing the affected bank accounts and inviting, arresting and interrogating several staff of the banks and officials of the ministry.

Olamiti noted that a similar report had also been made by the ministry’s bank to the EFCC which later transferred the case file to the ICPC.

Details released by the ICPC showed how the money was allegedly distributed to the organisations through the four banks namely: Access Bank: De- Ormart Furniture Company Ltd- N143,562,532.50; First Bank: Felitex Global Enterprises Ltd- N39,051,359.00 and Afazuwa Ventures- N43,182,404.00; Zenith Bank: Detwinx Global Services Ltd -N468,794,613.79 and Alozen Pharmacy Nig. Ltd-N1,397,899,494.00; and UBA: Federal Board of Inland Revenue- N92,499,553.60

Olamiti added that the ICPC has so far blocked the sum of N459,789,456.76 in most of the banks they were transferred to.

He said, “This includes the sum of N92,490,553.60 transferred to UBA purportedly as tax remittance in an account designated as Federal Board of Inland Revenue Account and which has been returned to FCMB as the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) denied operating such an account in UBA.

“The sum of N358,695,789.50 has been mopped up and transferred to the ICPC’s Recovery Account to prevent any further diversions while investigation is still ongoing”.

Meanwhile, the ICPC has declared Mr Murphy Sani (alias Murphy Ozi Opene) wanted and has requested anyone with useful information to contact the nearest ICPC, EFCC office or Police station.

ICPC arrests lawyer for allegedly defrauding FG of N928m

By NAN on September 15, 2015 1:10 pm

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has said it arrested a lawyer, Mr Adeola Adeyanju, for allegedly defrauding the Federal Government of N928 million.

The commission made the disclosure on Tuesday in Lagos in its recent in-house news bulletin.

The bulletin said that the suspect allegedly forged the payment mandate of the Ministry of Environment.

The commission, according to the bulletin, alleged that the suspect moved the said amount from First City Monument Bank where the money had been domiciled with his Zenith Bank’s personal account.

“On the same day the money hit his account, he again moved it to a Bureau de Change’s account where the money was converted and paid to him in dollars,’’ it said.

It said the suspect’s counsel, Mr Onyechi Ikpeazu (SAN), had earlier sought for the enforcement of his client’s fundamental human rights from an Abuja High Court with an application for bail award of N100 million as damages.

Ikpeazu, according to the anti-graft bulletin, claimed that the detention of his client was a violation of his human rights, stressing that the suspect was suffering from a strangulated hernia.

The bulletin said the commission’s counsel, Mr Osuobeni Akpors, who opposed the bail application, noted that the suspect had allegedly been a serial offender and that if granted bail, might abscond.

Akpors further stated that the suspect had earlier been allegedly convicted in another High Court in a suit number FCT/CR/14/04, stressing that he had shown no sign of repentance.

“Based on the facts before the trial judge, the suspect was denied bail,’’ the commission added.

calebo101:

Now Internet TV? Seriously? Even BBC have lots of news on the Internet with videos to back it up but never broadcast it on their mainstream media. Try harder Oga.

I want you to Shame me. News broadcast is hourly. Kindly snap the news brief on Buhari visit on any station in France and I'll be ashamed. For now keep being smart by half.

I have just provided screen shots of news clips aired by a couple of French TV channels.
Now hear this: you must be reposed with an inordinate amount of self-importance, if you think I give a rats arse about whether or not your ignorance has been cured.

Footnote: My posts are intended for the intelligent wing of NL's commentariat and not scallywags who are masquerading as seasoned analysts.

calebo101:
You copied newspaper reports to show me? Can you please screenshot the channel that reported Buhari's visit? Channels television and Vanguard newspaper are different my friend.

Ever heard that it is best to stop digging, when you are in a hole?

calebo101:
[b]I've been in Paris for 3 days now and I must confess the only place I heard Buhari is visiting Paris is here on Nairaland. I scour all the French stations for hourly news but seems like the migration issues, carlifornia wide fire and Austria change of government is totally more important than one president of Nigeria visiting Paris.

Funny thing is some fools on nairaland keeps shouting Nigeria is getting it's respect back . Who dey respect una before in the first place?? Mediocrity and Nigeria goes hand in hand honestly speaking.

Maduike Ezeibe has not cured AIDS

I mean, it feels ridiculous to me that I need to say this, but since this website is apparently full of bizarre AIDS-conspiracy theorists who think ‘the government’ will kill this man for publishing his quack science, I put together a few points to hopefully clear things up.

The claim that his treatment has cured AIDS is completely unfounded. In his June 2015 paper, Ezeibe writes:

Also, reduction of mean viral load of all the HIV/AIDS patients who participated in the clinical trial, from 18875.00 ± 17059.18 to 327.50 ± 226.84, is 98.26% reduction. Kaplan [27] reported that when treatments reduce loads of infectious agents by 95% or more, body immunity is able to eliminate what are left of the infections. What these results mean, is that the MSAMS cures HIV/AIDS, not just prolongation of lives of HIV-positive persons.

It’s embarrassing that I am using my fandom blog to tear this down, but that Kaplan paper cited is about parasitic worms. The fact that someone decided that a treatment threshold for parasitic worms could a) be applied to HIV and b) used to claim they found a cure should honestly discredit their entire body of work on the topic.

Anyone who has read a n y t h i n g about HIV in the past decade knows that that’s not how HIV fucking works. Every real antiretroviral treatment on the market today can achieve non-detectable levels of virus in a fraction of patients with good compliance, but whole reason HIV continues to be an issue today is that the virus hangs out inside your non-replicating dendritic cells or wherever and it fucking comes back when you stop treatment. To even think about claiming a cure for HIV, patients need to be off treatment and virus-free for YEARS. To date the only person to be really actually cured of HIV is the Berlin Patient, who was cured with a bone marrow transplant from a donor with HIV-resistant T-cells. Repeat after me: the only successful way to cure HIV is to kill off 100% of your immune cells and replace them with immune cells that HIV can’t infect.

So how did Ezeibe get away with making truly laughable claims in a scientific journal?

The paper is published in a trash journal. Scientific journals are rated by, among other metrics, their Impact Factor. This describes how many times an article in that journal will be cited in the future, telling you essentially how much that paper contributed to other people’s works. Scientists want their work to have impact. Top journals like Nature, Science, New England Journal of Medicine, etc. have Impact Factors in the 30s. These journals publish the most exciting, high-impact results that scientists across disciplines are interested in and they correspondingly have the most rigorous scientific requirements for accepting articles. A journal with Impact Factor of 2 to 4 might be a nice niche journal with decent rigor (like JIAS for example) but won’t be read by anyone outside that particular field of study. What, you may ask, is the Impact Factor for World Journal of AIDS, the journal where Ezeibe’s article is published?

ZERO.

ResearchGate lists their IF as 0. Is that the default for journals with no data? Seems so. WJA apparently doesn’t have an official IF score, (because Thompson Reuters doesn’t deem them to be even significant enough to score among the 70 Infectious Disease journals and 139 Immunology journals they scored in 2013) but they generously calculate their own alternative score to be less than one.

I honestly can’t critique his paper in more detail than this because his methods section is almost nonexistent. It’s possible that his nanoparticle therapy for HIV has promise, but it’s impossible to tell from this paper. For what is ostensibly a Phase I clinical trial for his “miracle drug,” any journal with any reputation at all to uphold is sending this submission back with request for MAJOR revisions, or more likely rejecting it outright.

Bottom line: no one is reading or citing WJA except by accident. The news outlets reporting on this paper need to fire their science correspondents.

One last general thing:

HIV/AIDS is not a neglected disease. A lot of the reblogs of the original post seem to suggest that “no one will hear about this” because of the racism and homophobia that intersect with HIV/AIDS, and that Ezeibe is lacking funding to take his miracle cure into next stage trials because no one cares about HIV/AIDS anymore. Let me be clear: people with HIV face a million different types of stigma and discrimination, much of it connected to homophobia and racism, but LACK OF RESEARCH FUNDING IS NOT ONE OF THEM. HIV/AIDS receives $3 BILLION in annual funding from the NIH, the most of any single disease. This isn’t the 1980s anymore. Scientists fucking LOVE studying HIV. We literally know so much about this stupid virus that we are using it as a delivery system to bioengineer treatments for cancer.

There are loads of brilliant scientists working on a cure for HIV. There are loads of brilliant African scientists working on a cure for HIV. Maduike Ezeibe is not one of them.

Why do some Nigerian academics continue making fools of themselves within the international community?

Burger01:
Useless woman.

Imagine the arrest of election card reader IT expert around election time. I mean, was the guy a terrorist? What's the business of DSS in election matters

She should join Jonathan and mama piss in Otuoke brewing illegal ogogoro

Really, Jonathan was a mistake never to be repeated. NEVER!

Marilyn Ogar was the poster child for a thoroughly compromised federal agency, there are no two ways about it.

Cjrane2:
Oppression will make Buhari end up like quaddafi.
mark my words. Buhari will destroy Nigeria with intolerance.

Did you read the article at all?
Or are you simply one of those who reads to respond rather than to understand?

@OP, this is nothing short of a fabricated story.

"False information published on the blog "jesusmanero.blog.br" which brings by title Shepherd who claimed to have "blessed member" is stuck inside of Goiás , on the date of October 26, 2012, it has generated enormous controversy and has Aporé led people to laughing stock. IT'S ALL false, fanciful and MIND OF UNEMPLOYED ORIGIN.

The article refers to a subject named Valdecir Picanto Sobrinho, who claimed to be a pastor and was arrested on charges of sexually abusing the city's women using the excuse that it would have blessed the penis. There is also the mention of the name of a delegate responsible for the region, Denise Pinheiro also false.

Outraged and unhappy with this FALSE INFORMATION and the inconvenience caused to all Aporeanos the publication of the same, this site made contact with law enforcement authorities responsible for Aporé / GO, Itajá / GO and also Jataí - GO, and we clarify the following:

This blog is humorous and also contains the following statement: "if you are very religious and thinks disrespectful jokes playing with their faith, we advise you to tighten up there the X browser rather than be complaining. Your God is much more powerful than a simple blog, so do not be acting with insecurity. Amen. "And more," the contents of Polemicristo column is merely unrealistic and does not reflect the reality "says the blog. So before you publish something we must act responsibly and find out whether the source is reliable because the source mentioned in the blog is also false.

Blog that bears the image of a Christ mounted on a Tyrannosaurus Rex therefore not deserve our comments about;

The image placed on the matter is a totally deserted place, not having anything like that image in Aporé or region;
The delegate of the 2nd DP Jataí, Dr. Éderson Bueno Garcia, said he never made any arrest of people related to this kind of fact; and,
the delegate mentioned the matter, Denise Pinheiro, is the 5th Region of Minas Gerais; the Regional Delegate of our region is Dr. André Fernandes.

Noting the facts and the substance of the matter is noted that lack modesty and respect for who wrote it, even though totally fictional.

Why would Buhari close down the church, when the mosque continues to operate unimpeded?

President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday participated in the weekly Juma’at prayer at the Presidential Villa Mosque.

“President Buhari did so out of consideration for avoidable hardships imposed on members of the public by road closures and other security measures which Presidential movements to the National Mosque necessitate,” the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said in a statement Friday.

“Accordingly, the President has decided that henceforth he will mostly observe the Juma’at prayers with other Muslims at the Presidential Villa Mosque.
