How do u hold a leader accountable
When u lots talk like this
Its clear u don't understand the constitution or u are only acting like u do
U give leaders a blank cheque with immunity clause wrapped around their wrist
And hope they don't spend it all
U mention tinubu
Lagos case is different
No matter how much they steal
It won't show
Tinubu makes an average of 3billion naira from Lagos state IGR
Through alpha and beta


Besides the south south is not the most funded
The north is
We have 6 states in the south south
The north has how many states
How many local governments
This obaseki is only speaking half truths

When we are ready
We will either use a civil war to change this useless constitution or a military coup
U yorubas can keep laughing at us
Yet tomorrow u will claim u love us
Time will tell
Just know that the Yoruba is a common enemy now
And I pity u if something goes wrong

the money river state receives a year is 5 times bigger than Edo state own

You talk as if Ganduje don't have supporters too.

While you and your likes have the support whoever or whichever party you like, you make it seem like Ganduje was trailing the PDP guy with 200k votes. Wake up! The difference before the rerun was less than 15k, it can easily be tipped. It's just a keen contest than can go either ways.

That a team is leading a game by 4-3 at the 85th minute doesn't mean it can't still lose the game and the its supporters should attack the referee if they lose.

How possible is this? People just form rubbish news and post on twitter

APC thugs undressed a woman for voting PDP today in kano.

This is sad, shameful & disgusting!

The Department of Justice has frozen more than $458 million in corruption proceeds hidden in bank accounts around the world by former Nigerian dictator Sani Abacha and conspirators. A civil forfeiture complaint unsealed today in the United States District Court in the District of Columbia seeks recovery of more than $550 million in connection with the largest kleptocracy forfeiture action brought in the department’s history.

The restraint of funds announced today includes approximately $313 million in two bank accounts in the Bailiwick of Jersey and $145 million in two bank accounts in France. In addition, four investment portfolios and three bank accounts in the United Kingdom with an expected value of at least $100 million have also been restrained, but the exact amounts in the accounts will be determined at a later date.

Acting Assistant Attorney General Mythili Raman of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division and Assistant Director in Charge Valerie Parlave of the FBI’s Washington Field Office made the announcement.

“General Abacha was one of the most notorious kleptocrats in memory, who embezzled billions from the people of Nigeria while millions lived in poverty,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General Raman. “This is the largest civil forfeiture action to recover the proceeds of foreign official corruption ever brought by the department. Through our Kleptocracy Initiative, we are seizing the assets of foreign leaders who steal funds that properly belong to the citizens they serve. Today’s action sends a clear message: we are determined and equipped to confiscate the ill-gotten riches of corrupt leaders who drain the resources of their countries.”

“We will not let the U.S. banking system be a tool for dictators to hide their criminal proceeds,” said Assistant Director in Charge Parlave. “This action demonstrates the FBI’s ability to combat international corruption and money laundering by seizing the assets of those involved. I want to thank the special agents, financial analysts and prosecutors whose hard work over the years resulted in today’s announcement.”

The over $458 million in frozen funds and the additional assets named in the complaint represent the proceeds of corruption during and after the military regime of General Abacha, who assumed the office of the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria through a military coup on Nov. 17, 1993, and held that position until his death on June 8, 1998. The complaint alleges that General Abacha, his son Mohammed Sani Abacha, their associate Abubakar Atiku Bagudu and others embezzled, misappropriated and extorted billions from the government of Nigeria and others, then laundered their criminal proceeds through the purchase of bonds backed by the United States using U.S. financial institutions.

As alleged in the complaint, General Abacha and others systematically embezzled billions of dollars in public funds from the Central Bank of Nigeria on the false pretense that the funds were necessary for national security. The conspirators withdrew the funds in cash and then moved the money overseas through U.S. financial institutions. General Abacha and his finance minister also allegedly caused the Government of Nigeria to purchase Nigerian government bonds at vastly inflated prices from a company controlled by Bagudu and Mohammed Abacha, generating an illegal windfall of more than $282 million. In addition, General Abacha and his associates allegedly extorted more than $11 million from a French company and its Nigerian affiliate in connection with payments on government contracts. Funds involved in each of these schemes were allegedly laundered through the United States.

The complaint seeks to forfeit bank accounts and investment portfolios with funds located in Bailiwick of Jersey, France and the United Kingdom. On Feb. 25 and 26, 2014, U.S. arrest warrants for the assets were enforced in Jersey and France though mutual legal assistance requests and in the Unit

The Kaduna state chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has tackled Governor Nasir El-Rufai over his threat to demolish structures housing Dunamis church in the state.

The state secretary of CAN, Dr. Sunday Ibrahim, said yesterday that Christians will resist any attempt to persecute them.

CAN’s decisions came on the heels of an official letter from the Kaduna State Urban Planning and Development Agency (KAPSUDA) asking the church to provide details of its operation in the state.

Acting general manager of KAPSUDA, Fatima Bambale, in a letter No. PS/14/PP/ZIII/20, 624/ VOL.I/0 entitled ‘Update of Religious Institutions within the State’, stated: “I am directed to request you to furnish the agency with your details through the attached form.

“You are to reply within seven days of receiving this letter.”

Reacting, the CAN scribe pointed out that KAPSUDA’s letter was part of government’s move to embark on the persecution of Christians in the state.

In a reactionary letter to the agency, CAN stated, “We write to express our dissatisfaction with the content of your letter and to remind the agency that it is a government agency and not individual establishment.

“Where the government, through the agency, finds it necessary to update religious institutions within the state, we strongly believe that the agency knows well enough the proper channel to follow which is through CAN or Interfaith.

“We find it offensive, and suspect it as ill-conceived and inappropriate that the agency should write the individual church directly disregarding CAN.

Useless divisive politics by iPoB, Omokri and FFK.

Better face the facts that it's Nigerians, not only the North, that don't want the thieving PDP.

Goke7:
pdp had the opporunity to do their tradermoni but they decided to helped themselves as politicians first. Sorry that's how golden oportunities are lost.

Goke7:
just listen to yourself, you guys never wished this country well. When the sponsored killings start, they will surely be exposed again like it happened in Benue. smh

Goke7:
ok contunue to listen, I can't help you. Too much analysis lead to paralysis

hakku:
So osibanjo rigged and yet couldn't win his PU

helinues:
Same way all the project he is completing was started by Pdp.. Probably if they are still in government, they might not have thought about it

See, no perfect human being. At times we have to compared both good side and bad side of Buhari and his government before reaching conclusions

hakku:
You are naive to think only d incumbent has d power to rig. So APC getting zero vote in ekweremadu area is not rigging. Vote buying is not rigging. e.t.c

Goke7:
Buhari is no good at all in your eyes, so anything I say, you will never agree with. My advice to you is too cool down and be more open minded. stop listening to the likes of ffk, reno and other sadists. Try and research more. It will help you and you will be fine.

helinues:
Financial institutions precisely. Full implementations of BVN and TSA. More of the bureau de change banks have packed up.
If you are familiar to Abuja, all those girls that used to hang around the airport to showcase properties for sale in Dubai, they are all affected , you know why, their clients are mainly politicians.
