The woman from the photo claims that that’s her husband behind her. The thing is — he died 10 years before the photo was taken.

2. This is one of the most famous ghost photos ever. This is supposedly the ghost of Lady Dorothy Walpole, who died back in 1726. The stories say she’s been haunting Raynham Hall in Norfolk, England ever since.

If you believe in ghosts, be warned — some of these
pictures are really scary. If you don’t, you may change
your mind after seeing this photos. We present you with
12 real ghosts caught on camera.









This terrifying photo dates back to 1919. It shows
surviving members of a Royal Navy squadron from the
vessel HMS Daedalus. The transparent face belongs to
mechanic Freddy Jackson, but the thing is – Freddy was
killed two days before this photo was taken. Scary!

The Socio-Economic Rights and
Accountability Project (SERAP) has
“received several documents from the
World Bank totalling over 700 pages
on information on the spending of
recovered assets stolen by the late
General Abacha, with some of the
documents suggesting that Abacha loot
was spent on roads, electricity,
education, health and water.”
This information was disclosed by
SERAP executive director, Adetokunbo
Mumuni, in a statement dated
November 29, 2015.
The organisation said, “SERAP can
confirm that last week we received
several documents from Ann May of
the Access to Information Team of the
World Bank following our Access to
Information Request to the Bank. We
also received a letter dated 24
November 2015 from Mr. Rachid
Benmessaoud, Director of the World
Bank in Africa.”
“In total, SERAP has received over 700
pages of documents, which we are now
closely studying and scrutinising with a
view to discovering whether the
documents contain details that
Nigerians would like to see and
whether the information correspond to
the facts on the ground. After this
analysis, we will respond to the Bank
and consider our options, including
filing an appeal before the Bank’s
Access to Information Appeals Board
and taking other appropriate legal
actions nationally and internationally
to discover what exactly happened to
Abacha recovered loot,” the
organisation said.
The organisation said that “In the
meantime our preliminary review of
some of the documents and the letter
from Mr Rachid Benmessaoud have
revealed certain facts which raise more
questions about what exactly happened
to Abacha loot: First, that Mrs. Ngozi
Okonjo-Iweala as Minister of Finance
in a letter dated 9 January 2005
explained to the Bank that around
$500m (N65bn) of Abacha loot received
from Switzerland was programmed
into and spent in the 2004 and 2005
budgets on roads, electricity, education,
water and health across all 6 geo-
political zones of Nigeria.”
“Second, Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala explained to the Bank
that N18.60bn was spent on roads; N10.83bn spent
on health; N7bn spent on education; N6.20bn spent
on water; and N21.70bn spent on electricity. She
also said that part of the funds were spent on new
and ongoing investment projects. Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala
said that relevant federal ministries have the full
details on the spending of repatriated Abacha loot.
The Bank noted that there was no funds monitoring
and tracking mechanism in place to trace the
spending of Abacha loot,” the organisation also
disclosed.
“Third, Mr Rachid Benmessaoud confirmed that the
World Bank played a monitoring role in a return of
assets by Switzerland but that the Bank is not
currently involved in the monitoring of spending of
Abacha loot that have been returned to Nigeria in
recent years. He said that the Bank would be
prepared to set up a mechanism to monitor the use
of Abacha loot if the Nigerian government requests
the Bank’s assistance in this respect.”
“Given Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala’s involvement in the
spending of Abacha loot, SERAP calls on President
Muhammadu Buhari to urgently probe the role of
the Ministry of Finance and relevant federal
ministries at the time in the spending of Abacha loot
particularly given the strong allegations of
mismanagement that characterised the use of the
funds,” the organisation said.
“Although Mrs Okonjo-Iweala said that Abacha loot
was spent in the 2004 and 2005 budgets on roads,
electricity, education, water and health across all 6
geo-political zones of Nigeria, there is no evidence of
such projects as millions of Nigerians continue to
travel on dead roads, while they continue to lack
access to adequate electricity supply, water, health
and quality education. Therefore, President Buhari
can no longer continue to remain silent on this issue
of public interest if Nigerians are to continue to trust
him in his fight against corruption,” the organisation
also said.
It would be recalled that in a letter dated October 15,
2015 and signed by Ann May of the Access to
Information Team, the Bank said that “In response to
your request under AI3982, we would like to inform
you that we are still considering your request and
need additional time to provide you with a more
comprehensive response.”
The letter reads in part “In most cases, we will be
able to respond within twenty (20) working days
from receipt of a request for information. However,
we may need additional time in special
circumstances, for example, if the request is complex
or voluminous or if it requires further review by or
consultation with internal World Bank units, external
parties, the Access to Information Committee, or the
World Bank’s Board of Executive Directors.”
Earlier, SERAP had on September 21, 2015 sent an
access to information request to Jim Yong Kim,
President, World Bank Group urging him to “exercise
the Bank’s prerogative to release documents relating
to spending of recovered assets stolen by Late
General Sani Abacha”.
The group also asked Mr. Yong Kim to “disclose
information about the Bank’s role in the
implementation of any projects funded by the
recovered assets and any other on-going repatriation
initiatives on Nigeria with which the Bank is
engaged.”
The request was “pursuant to the World Bank’s
Access to Information Policy (The Policy), approved
by the Board on June 30 205. SERAP notes that one of
the Policy’s guiding principles is to maximize access
to information. There is also clear public interest in
Nigerians knowing about the Bank’s supervisory role
and specifically its involvement in the
implementation of projects on which repatriated
funds were spent.

The Igbo community in Kano State yesterday disassociated
itself from the pro-Biafra protests in parts of the country.
Speaking at his palace in Kano, the Eze Ndigbo, Igwe
Boniface Ibekwe Ide, said the protest was wrong and
uncalled for.
For the past two weeks, the pro-Biafra group known as
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and members of the
Movement for Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra
(MASSOB) have been agitating for creation of Biafra state.
The Eze of Igbo noted that those pursuing the issue were
not born when the civil war took place.
