James Ibori Arrested In Dubai PDF | Print | E-mail
Wednesday, 12 May 2010 21:58

James Onafefe Ibori
Several sources have confirmed to Saharareporters that James Onanefe Ibori, the fugitive former governor of Delta State, has been arrested. Our sources revealed that Interpol agents picked up Mr. Ibori from his posh apartment in Dubai with assistance of the Dubai police. Saharareporters’ sources disclosed that a subdued Ibori sent a text message to Mr. Lulu Enobaifo, one of his closest protégés, announcing his arrest. Another source told Saharareporters that former Governor Niyi Adebayo of Ekiti, a close friend of Ibori’s, was overheard telling friends that Ibori had been arrested in Dubai.

Saharareporters received conflicting reports as to which agency initiated the request for Ibori’s arrest. A source in the UK told Saharareporters that Ibori’s arrest was most likely at the instance of the London Metropolitan police. But a different source, speaking from Abuja, said Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which had earlier declared Ibori wanted after he failed to answer an invitation to appear at the agency’s headquarters for questioning on new money laundering allegations, was behind his arrest. If UK authorities requested Ibori’s arrest, then he is likely to be extradited to London where his associates, including a former mistress Udoamaka Okoronkwo, his sister, Christine Ebie-Ibori, and a former personal aide, Ms Pogoson, are facing charges of assisting the former governor to launder billions of naira stolen from Delta State. Their trial is nearing an end at the Southwark Crown Court. Last Monday, lawyers representing Ibori’s associates began making closing arguments. Our legal correspondent in the UK reports that the jury at the Southwark Crown Court is likely to deliver a verdict in a matter of days.

In what a top security source described as “embarrassing,” a combined team of the Nigerian police and EFCC officials could not arrest Ibori – who for a time was holed up in his country home in Oghara, Delta State. “The scandal is that Chief Ibori enjoys support from various top brass of Nigeria’s security agencies,” said the source, a senior official of the State Security Service (SSS) in Abuja. “That’s why he always received information about the plans to arrest him. And that information gave him the edge to mobilize heavily armed thugs who fought to protect him,” added the source.

Saharareporters learnt that Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta State, Ibori’s maternal cousin and handpicked successor, left Abuja abruptly tonight to return to Asaba, his state capital, after he received information of Ibori’s arrest.

If Ibori is successfully extradited to the UK, he will be the second person to be extradited under the Extradition Treaty and Mutual Legal Assistance signed between the UK and the government of the United Arab Emirates. The first person was Jeleel Ahmed, 28, who was extradited to the UK in August 2009 to face murder charges.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Happy New Week in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ who came to deliver us from the danger of religion, being the message of salvation to all men on the face of the earth. Amen.

“Thomas saith unto Him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” (John 14: 5-6).

Brethren, very often, men get into trouble, confusion, great difficulties, hopeless situations and circumstances and may not come out of them. As a matter of fact, some have ‘stroke’, some high-blood pressure, some diabetes and many die daily as a result. However, this is not only limited to those who are operating by the ‘world system’ alone, it may surprise you that same situation occurs even among believers who are in God’s kingdom! Let us wake up and look up to the One whose name we confess and profess; Our Lord Jesus Christ.

If we consider very closely the bible passage above, we will observe that Jesus is the answer to all questions- the solution to all problems of life. For example, what are the 3 main subjects that many people are badly confused about in the world today? Are they not highlighted in the above scripture? The WAY, the TRUTH and, LIFE. Friends, these are the 3 main determinants if one must live purposeful.

THE WAY: The bible says in the book of Proverb 14: 12 “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death”. In search of solution to life challenges, many have sought various ways in robbery, stealing, prostitution, occultism, worshiping idols (could be their jobs, money, material things etc), fraudulent activities, fornication, adultery, eye-service etc. It is crystal-clear that any eye that looks elsewhere for solution into life challenges or for a means of livelihood, not focusing on Jesus, is sure to see disaster. Isaiah 55: 9 (please read from verse 7) says “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts”. Hence, God has given a clear distinction between His ways and the ways of the ‘ungodly’. Please note that the way of the ungodly is simply living independent of God or biblical instructions.

THE TRUTH: Friends, in search for the truth, many have sold their souls to the devil (though, some due to ignorance!), some have joined various cults, all in the name of religion. Some have opted for such religious groups where ‘righteousness’ is easily amended in order to fit into personal suitable standards. However, many have redefined themselves, yet confused whether they are actually ‘she’ or ‘he’. Brothers and Sisters, there is no truth elsewhere; the only truth is what God has revealed to those who hunger and thirst for His word (the bible). The bible says “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8: 32). The only truth that has records of “freedom” is the word of God; all other ‘look-alikes’ have records of bondage, failure, destruction and death (both physical and eternal)!

THE LIFE: In order to be rightly guided through life, let us ask ourselves the following question from time to time; why am I here? This question may guide you toward the direction where the answer could be found; the word of God- the truth! Life is not about making money or storing affluence as many have been misguided; rather life is about making impact. However, impact could be negative or positive; your life must be making one of the two even right now! Jesus was speaking; “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy; I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10). If your life is not in line with ‘the main focus’- Jesus Christ, then you are most likely to be a victim of the most horrible thief of all-time- the devil, who is the angel of eternal death.

Therefore, brothers and Sisters, the only way to the Father is the way of righteousness, remember what the scripture says about our own righteousness; ‘a filthy rag’, but glory be to God we have an advocate whose righteousness has covered for us, we can now be called ‘the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus’ (2Corith. 5: 21). Amen! The truth is the word, let us therefore soak ourselves in the word of God and become inseparable from it; this is freedom from all lies and oppression of the devil! And finally, let us not give-in to be influenced by the things of this world, because the danger will not be limited to us alone, but may also affect all those whose lives depend on us. Let us be a positive influence on our generation. Let us always look unto Jesus, the author and the finisher of our faith (Heb. 12: 2). JESUS IS THE ONLY MEANS TO LIVING A FUFILING AND PURPOSEFUL LIFE- THE MESSAGE FOR OUR GENERATION!

May the Lord God flood our eyes of understanding with the light of the revelation of His word. Amen. Once again, I wish you a glorious week ahead. Be a blessing, make someone happy, and endure the truth always, for it is the only access key into the kingdom of God!

IBB: Younger Generation Can’t Rule Nigeria
From Reuben Buhari in Kaduna with agency report, 04.18.2010

Former military president and presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, yesterday said he was planning a come-back to office because of the non-availability of capable younger people who can steer the ship of state.
Speaking to the Hausa Service of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) monitored in Kaduna, Babangida said: “Because we have seen signs that they are not capable of leading this country and so we feel we should help them. May be they are not given the proper education that is why. I have spent 17 years since I left office.


“But a country like Nigeria cannot be ruled by people without experience. People like the (President Barack) Obama that you are speaking about have the experience. He started from the state House of Assembly to the House of Represen-tatives and to the Senate. If our youths are like this, we will say they have the requisite experience. But we have not reached that level. Honestly, it is our wish that God will bring the younger people that will take over from us if they are available.”


Babangida, who answered questions from the BBC on almost every aspect of his administration during his eight years in office, said he was seeking a return to the Presidency, if elected next year, to contribute his quota in taking the country to the next level.
The former military President in the 15 minutes interview also absolved his eight year tenure of promoting corruption. He said the level of corruption in the country today is a far cry from what was witnessed during his time.


Asked what was attracting him to run for the office of president this time around when he declined to run in 2007, Babangida said, “I gave my reasons for not contesting in 2007 and it was published in many newspapers in the country. Therefore, Nigerians know my reasons for not contesting at that time. But now, Alhamdudillahi, things have changed.
“My position as a Nigerian. Anything that God wants me to do to help this country, I will do it. If I am given the chance, I will know what to do and by the grace of God, I will do it. Nigeria is a country of 150 million people and any of this 150 million people can be president.


Babangida told the BBC that his godfather in Nigeria was the masses when he was reminded by the BBC that the June 12, 1993 election was made possible by the masses but he still went ahead to annul it.
He then said: “But what you should take into consideration is that there has never been an election like that before. That election convinced not only Nigerians, but even the international community that it is possible to conduct free and fair elections in Nigeria,” he said adding that as head of the government at that time he takes responsibility for annulling the election.
The following is the full text of the interview:


You wanted to contest for the Presidency in 2007, but at the end of the day you didn’t submit your papers, how can you assure Nigerians that this time around, you will contest?
I gave my reasons for not contesting in 2007 and it was published in many newspapers in the country. Therefore, Nigerians know my reasons for not contesting at that time. But now, Alhamdudillahi, things have changed.


Don’t forget we are talking of helping the country. What we are talking about, is something that happened some 16 years ago. We should be thinking of what we can do to make progress.
Nigeria is facing a lot of problems, if by the grace of God; you become the president again, what are these new things you never did in the past that you will want to employ in tackling these problems.
God in His infinite mercy gave me the leadership of this country for 8 years…. Remember the Nigerian people have not changed, and since they have not changed, we are in a position to tell them that we can do it again.


There are speculations that the United States of America (USA) wants you to contest for the presidency. What do you have to say about this?
How can that be possible since it is not Americans that will vote? It is Nigerians that will vote.
But America is an influential country in the world and it has its interests in Nigeria.
Nigeria is an influential country too. If somebody wants something in Africa and he hears the voice of Nigeria, it is like he has heard the voice of Africa.
But they said the American Assistant Secretary of State paid you a visit.
Yes, he came to greet me. He is somebody I have known. He came to condole with me over the death of my wife. When we were in the hospital in America, he was coming to greet us…


The issue of the dwindling Nigerian economy is blamed on your administration. You invited former World Bank Economist in charge of Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP), Prof. Joseph Tigris, who you used to ruin the nation’s economy. Why did you do that?
, Today, we are talking of exactly 24 years, but SAP has not changed, they keep on modifying it. If the economy was ruined, by now, we would have been history. The Nigerian economy was not ruined.
But they say Nigerians are going through serious hardship as a result of your economic policies.
I want you to know that if you read all the books on the economy of Nigeria, you will find out that from 1960 to 1995, Nigeria made far-reaching progress. I left office in 1993. You should be asking what have those who came after us done.


Your administration was accused of massive corruption. If you become the president again, how would you address the problem of endemic corruption in Nigeria?
If you compare what is happening now with what happened during my administration, you will commend me. I sacked a governor for embezzling N300, 000 during my regime, but now, what do you see? During our time we were not enmeshed in this kind of things we see today.


During your time, there was this $12 billion made from the sales of oil. What happened to the money?
The $12 billion was the money realised from the sale of oil for 8 years. Let me repeat, it was money made from the sales of oil in 8 years. It was money that we saved in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) within those 8 years. There was an additional $1.2 billion, So all they are saying about this money are lies. If you read the Okigbo report, you will see that the money was made in 8 years.


But the Financial Times reporter who published the story was sent out of Nigeria because of the report. If it was not true, why was he sent away?
Frankly speaking, I can send the Okigbo report to you to read. I have been explaining this over and over. What I realised from oil in eight years is what somebody makes in one year.
You have been a major player in the leadership of this country for a longtime.

Don’t you think it is time to allow the younger generations take over from you the older ones as it happened in America and other parts of the world?
Honestly, it is our wish that God will bring the younger people that will take over from us if they are available. I was the one who introduced the politics of new breed in this country.
Why didn’t you step aside and give the younger generation a chance to lead since they are fresh and strong.
Because we have seen signs that they are not capable of leading this country and so we feel we should help them. May be they are not given the proper education that is why. I have spent 17 years since I left office.
Haba! The younger generation is supposed to be in charge by now.


But a country like Nigeria cannot be ruled by people without experience. People like the Obama that you are speaking about have the experience. He started from the state House of Assembly to the House of Representatives and to the Senate. If our youths are like this, we will say they have the requisite experience. But we have not reached that level.
If by the grace of God, you become the president what new thing will you do which you did not do during your eight years in power.

Which are the mistakes you would want to correct?
The politicians are asking me what I forgot in the Presidential Villa that I want to go and pick. When I left power, the naira was N22 to the dollar. Petrol was selling at 70 kobo per litre. So there are things that I did that will make me come back.
These things were not like that when you came to power. You were the one that devalued the naira.
How? During my time, the naira did not exceed N22 to the dollar. Now it is N150 per dollar.


But how much was it before you came to power?
It was N4.5 to the dollar.
So you devalued the naira.
Some people destroyed the value of the naira…

How God Builds Your Faith: Delay
by Rick Warren

"But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day!" (Habakkuk 2:3 LB).


Even as you make a decision to follow the dream God places in your heart, you can expect a delay. God will not fulfill your dream immediately because this is another step toward building your faith.

In Habakkuk 2, God says, "These things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled."

In this step of faith-building you will most likely start asking the question, "When, Lord? When are You going to answer my prayer?"

And we hate to wait. We don't like to wait in a doctor's office, or in traffic jams, or at restaurants, or for Christmas presents, or for anything else. But what we hate worst of all is waiting on God.

Have you ever been in a hurry when God wasn't? It's so irritating! You're ready, but God isn't. God wants to work on you before He works on the project. Every believer must go through the University of Learning to Wait (ULW). Some of us are still working on our degrees from ULW!

. Noah waited 120 years from the time he started building the ark until it began to rain.
. Abraham was told he would be the father of a great nation and didn't have a child until he was 99.
. God told Moses he would be the leader to lead his people out of 400 years of slavery, but then made him wait in the desert 40 years.
. Joseph spent years in prison before God raised him up and he became the ruler God wanted him to be.
. God had David anointed as king, but then David waited for years until he actually got to be king.

We all have to go through these waiting periods. Even Jesus waited for 30 years in the carpenter's shop before setting out on his public ministry.

Why do we wait? It teaches us to trust in God. We learn that His timing is perfect. One of the facts we have to learn is this: God's delay never destroys His purpose.

A delay is not a denial. Children must learn the difference between "no" and "not yet," and so must we. Many times we think God is

U.S secretary of State,Clinton Slams Nigeria leaders again: “Unbelievable Corrupt”Share

Clinton Slams Nigeria’s “Unbelievable Corruption”
Wed Jan, 27 2010


Hilary Clinton, United States’ Secretary of State came hard on Nigeria’s leaders once again yesterday when she slammed the level of corruption in Nigeria as “unbelievable.”

Clinton made the statement while speaking at a "town hall meeting" with US. State Department employees to mark her first year in office, the US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, spoke about the attempt by a Nigerian to blow up a US airliner on Christmas day. Ms. Clinton criticised the conditions in Nigeria and blamed them for alienating the youth and leading some to Islamic radicalism.

She said, "The failure of the Nigerian leadership over many years to respond to the legitimate needs of their own young people, to have a government that promoted a meritocracy, that really understood that democracy can't just be given lip service, it has to be delivering services to the people, has meant there is a lot of alienation in that country and others."

"Nigeria faces a threat from increasing radicalization by providing an opening for extremism that offers an alternative world view The information we have on the Christmas Day bomber so far seems to suggest that he was disturbed by his father’s wealth and the kind of living conditions that he viewed as being not Islamic enough,”

“But in this case, and in so many others, such young people are targets for recruiters to extremism.

She also said Nigeria faces a threat from increasing radicalization because quality-of-life factors in the country like literacy and health care are deteriorating, and from resentment over widespread corruption.

She said, “There has to be a recognition that in the last 10 years, a lot of the indicators about quality of life in Nigeria have gone the wrong direction. Quality-of-life factors in the country like literacy and health care are deteriorating"

"The corruption is unbelievable. And when I did a town hall in Abuja, people were just literally standing and shouting about what it was like to live in a country where you know the elite was so dominant, where corruption was so rampant, where criminality was so pervasive, and that is an opening for extremism that offers an alternative world view,"

"The young people in the world today, they see other options. They are all interconnected through the Internet and the information we have on the Christmas Day bomber so far seems to suggest that he was disturbed by his father's wealth and kind of living conditions that he viewed as being not Islamic."
