In 2003/2004 the Metropolitan Police was investigating a credit card scam when the trail led them to Joshua Dariye, governor of Platue State and Peter Clark of the Metropolitan police was sent to see Dariye in his hotel somewhere in London. The policeman was shocked at what he saw on arrival. Joshua Dariye's hotel room awash with cash. There was money on the tables, on the bed, chairs, everywhere. In fact, prior to officer Clark's arrival, Dariye was already causing pandemonium in the hotel; he was giving £50 notes every hotel staff lucky enough to walk past his hotel door! The pound rain started after he had telephoned the hotel security telling them he intends to "appreciate" the hotel staff. After the staff showed up and were "appreciated", perhaps taking pity at how wretched or underfed the poor Brits were, Dariye decided blessing more Brits and saving them from hunger was one brilliant idea, so he extended his "appreciation" further by giving £50 to anyone who walks past his door.

When the rest of the staff heard there was a Santa holed up in their hotel and dashing pounds to folks for the sheer effort of walking past his door, they abandoned their duty posts and made a spectacle of walking past his door. To the glory of God, Ogbeni Dariye didn't disappoint them, every John Carpenter and Peter Gravedigger who made the effort past his door that lucky morning of January 20, 2004, had £50 note finding its way into their pockets.

This was what was going on when Peter Clark arrived at the hotel to his utter unbelief. According to the officer when they searched Dariye's room, "he had 50,000 pounds in £50 notes on his table..and there was more money found in his room."

Meanwhile in the same hotel, another Dariye, in fact his sister, was in another also with £50, 000 in her possession. Though she wasn't playing Santa, perhaps because there is no such thing like Mother Christmas. And this is why we keep saying everything shouldn't be about men. Women should be given their chances too in this world. Why do we have Father Christmas and no Mother Christmas? But that's a matter for another day.
Back to the story, you wouldn't believe that the Dariyes own am apartment on the same street they lodged and got caught with £50K on their possession! Why then were they staying in a hotel instead of their own house? To dash out money to poor hotel workers? If you understand the mentality of the Nigerian politician, the idiot who though hitherto worth less than 500k, becomes a billionaire upon happening upon a political office, you would know. In Rivers state, the moment you become an LGA councilor, you move into a hotel in PH, buy out a room for an entire year and remain there, only visiting your own house for receptions etc. You don't want to talk about lawmakers, etc. Those ones lease out permanent rooms in 5 star hotels in Abuja upon assumption of office. This is why Joshua Dariye and his sister left their own house and went to lodge in a hotel on their own street. Free money.

Well, to cut a long story short, the olodo siblings were promptly arrested by the ungrateful Brits who didn't think dashing £50 notes to their poor compatriots was such a smart idea after all. But ogbeni Dariye, like his Delta state colleague and contemporary, James "Bond" Ibori knew the drill: he simply jumped bail in London and escaped to Nigeria, the safe haven of fantastically corrupt politicians, where on completion of his term as governor he would become a revered Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

But despite all his drama and attempts to frustrate his prosecution he was successfully prosecuted by the EFCC and convicted. He was jejely serving his term in Kuje prison when on April 14 this year, Mohammadu Buhari, the man they say is the very antithesis of corruption "pardoned" and released him.
If anyone points at anything they claim holds the candle for Buhari as a sincere anti-corruption crusader, and you can't remember Abdurasheed Maina or anything, point them to Joshua Chibi Dariye, former governor of Plateau state and the his Buhari-sponsored pardon.

Police is your friend

Nigerians and hotel lodging, wasteful mentality.

Nice work
