Allegedly 🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

treesun:
Damning US public records obtained by West Africa Weekly have revealed that Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, secretly acquired a $2 million Florida mansion in March, registering it under the names of his children, Joaquin, Jazmyne, and Jordan, and his wife, Justice Eberechi Wike. Records further show that Justice Wike is a registered member of the U.S. Democratic Party, potentially placing her in violation of Nigeria’s Judicial Code of Conduct.

According to the documents, the Wike family recently obtained the property located on Spring Creek Lane in Winter Springs, Florida.







A West Africa Weekly source who did not wish to be named revealed that theproperty was purchased in a private transaction in March 2025, with Wike deliberately omitting his name from the transaction while using the names of his wife and children, in an attempt to get around questions involving asset disclosure and the source of funds used to purchase the property. According to public records, the Wike family’s new U.S. residence is a 2-storey mansion built in 1997, sitting on a 4,076-square-foot lot, complete with a garage and two parking spaces. The property is located at 113 Spring Creek Lane, Winter Springs, Florida 32708.

The newly unconvered acquisition raises further questions about the conduct of Wike, who was recently implicated in a $3.6bn FCT land-grab scandal involving his son, Joaquin. Given that the total annual salary and allowances of a Nigerian cabinet minister officially comes to about N7.8m (roughly $5,000), it is unclear how Wike obtained over $2m to purchase the Florida property, which raises serious concerns surrounding illicit enrichment and money laundering, potentially violating Nigeria’s Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022, by funnelling embezzled taxpayer funds into U.S. real estate.

The involvement of his wife, Justice Eberechi Wike, also conflicts with the Code of Conduct for Judicial Officers (Rule 1.2 and 5c), which demands strict adherence to ethical standards for judges, and the avoidance of all impropriety or appearance of impropriety.



Public records further reveal that Justice Eberechi Wike is a card-carrying member of the US Democratic Party, which is expressly forbidden by the Code of Conduct for Judicial Officers (Rule 9.3a) which states, “It is not appropriate for a Judicial Officer to participate in an organization if its objects are political or if its activities are likely to expose the Judge to public controversy.”



It will be recalled U.S. Embassy in Abuja in July published a post on X purporting to criticise Nigerian public officials for wasteful spending of public funds. It remains unclear how the US government which purports to oppose financial corruption by Nigerian public officials could be unaware of potential multimillion dollar real estate money laundering in Florida by a serving Nigerian cabinet minister.

So, mods never move this thing go frontpage?

AMINDA:
These are the shady characters that Tinubu likes having around him so he can have them on a leash to do his bidding. He may find it difficult to work with you if you are squeaky clean because that would mean he has no leverage over you.

Video below shows how Wike's son lavish the stolen funds on his girlfriend overseas while Agbadorians like the one below continue to defend online while shacked up in their shanties.

Who are the morally upright that you recommended to him, just list 2 of them for assessment so we can reforward them? I am semi-sure your won't mention Obi because corruption of that one self, trailer no fit carry am; but people like you are parts of those pushing good container with rotten content as furure president of Nigeria. Who knows maybe it one disgruntled PDP or LP members that went ahead to fabricate false documents against Wike. If he/she is sure, he should go ahead to submit petition to EFCC instead of wasting time online. It is not new as obidients and ipob unbeat when it comes to fabrication of anything fakeness

If Peter Obi was corrupt, your Tinubu would be chasing after him with EFCC as he does to opposition members.

But they have checked and Obi is clean as a whistle. The thing come tire them.

“Saint” obi hiding all his properties under next and his brother’s names. Ikeja property bought while he was a governor in his company’s name.

Exactly why our populace may remain impoverished forever - your type of thinking.

Here's a damning report of a political office holder having luxurious properties in the USA. Peter Obi was not mentioned anywhere. Yet, you have managed to bring PO into this report just to justify Wike's corruption.

We keep defending our thieving politicians and with the same voice, we cry that corruption has destroyed our country.

It's such a pity, really.

This is not just about you, there are many like you. Multitudes will easily rise to defend a common thief occupying a political office. We have made our slave masters gods over us.

Such a shame.

I only pity this country.

Did you hear me defend Wike anywhere? Not only did i not defend him, i confirmed he is a crook. can you say that about Obi? I simply said

1) attack Obi with the same energy you attack Wike.
2) Wike was asked point blank if he is corrupt, his response I need money, nobody has convicted me
3) why were you all silent when you learnt Obi bought a house in his company’s name for $2m while he was a governor?
4) I have said it even in this thread they are all crooks because you cant be succesful as a Nigerian politician without being a crook....the people will not vote for you but the worst crook is the one who not just lies he is a Saint but goes about to propagate the lie and attack other crooks.

What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

I will not attack Obi is you stop peddling him as a saint. So long as you do I will because he is a crook!

its either you are being a hypocrite or you genuinely believe Obi is a saint despite all that is out there. if your case is the latter, then I'm afraid your issue is an absence of grey matter!

Maybe you should first start by showing me where I stated that Obi is a saint. Your hasty conclusion or generalization is interesting.

I only pointed out the fact that you deviated from the topic of the thread to inject a name that was not mentioned in the report.

Again, with your type of mentality, corruption will continue to thrive at the expense of common Nigerians.

If we can't call a spade, a spade, then we are not ready to bring the change we desperately need.

You mean agbadorians like Helinuse, Seunmsg, Omenka, softmirror etc Defending their oppressor full time when they live a miserable life.

The money wike son spent on his girlfriend birthday is enough to change the lives of every agbadorians to a better one.

Oj jesus! which corruption are you trying to fight in Nigeria. My friend get real! stop the pontification and come down to Earth. Corruption exists everywhere. you are never going to get rid of corruption and it is because you will never vote for clean people.

this is my post earlier in the thread, what more do you want? did you do half of that for the numerous Obi scandals?

casualobserver:
Tell us something we don’t know! Have you ever heard any supporter of the government tell you Wike is not crooked? Even Wike himself when asked by Seun “are you corrupt?”, answered “I have not been convicted”.

............
You people lack credibility. You will never hear me say Tinubub is clean, Wike is clean etc. what you will hear is me saying they have track records of performance, etc. But you go around saying crooks like Obi are clean when you know deep down he is not. This is why you are a laughing stock and nobody takes you seriously! We all know he is part of the crooked system but unlike people like Wike, he has no record of performance.

.........

We are not saying and have never said they are saints or denied they have skeletons. To us we know our politics is such that it Attracts certain types so all we want is people who can perform. If you want to criticize any of them, we applaud your and we will keep quiet. But we will not keep quiet when you accuse them of corruption and then you present another or even worse epitome of corruption as the messiah!

You want to fight corruption? you dont fight corruption in Nigeria by saying public office holders must be saints. how can public officials be saints when the citizens are crooks? is it not the same Nigerians that become politicians? You fight corruption by removing avenues for theft. Like removing fuel subsidies and removing forex subsities, by diditizing customs collections etc.

You are probably too much of a simpleton to understand but those actions are the biggest fight over corruption ever effected in Nigeri's history. Why because they are permanent. Murtala sacked corrupt officials, Buhari jailed corrupt politicians....they came back when they left office and continued where they left of to the point the same corrupt people not only brought him to offfice as a civilian but populated his govt as a civilian.

I dont have time for hypocrital self righteousness, or pie in the sky pontfication and virtue signalling especially from people who are no better. Nigeria needs people who can do perform not talkers or hyprocrites.

Like I always say, I am not asking to marry into any politican's family or vice versa. his morality or lack therof is his business. In a country of crooks, i am realistic to know we will only ever elect crooks. If you are going to be a crook, be a crook who has a track record of performance. I would rather a crook who leaves behind a quality inflated road that last 50 years so the next guy doiesnt spend our money building that road again and can build another road than a fake saint who also stole money, collect kickbacks but whose road is wash away after 2 years.

and just so you know

Awolowo embezzled public funds, he used it to fund his party. Zik embezzled public funds to fund his ailing companies, the Uk govt knew and blackmailed him into accepting an Alliance with Sardauna. , these were the best leaders of Nigeria, ironically only Sardauna and Balewa were not corrupt. Also Tony blair, Obama Bill CLinton, Hilary Clinton, they are all corrupt crooks, its just that they are more sophisticated in their crookedness! our politicians steal in a crude manner because we elect the crudest of people, we elect the crudest of people because of people like you, so please enough of the fake virtue signalling and give it a rest!

Lost cause

We were having an interesting conversation until you started calling me names. Was hoping we would keep our back and forth clean and devoid of emotional outbursts.

Nope, I never suggested that corruption can be entirely eradicated in Nigeria, or elsewhere. Corruption, however, can be significantly reduced and the Nigerian standard of living can be significantly enhanced.

No Nigerian politician is a saint, not PO. I'm tempted to dig out earlier posts I've made on other threads just to let you know my position in discussions regarding the Nigerian political landscape.

Basically, we are doomed. "Doomed" doesn't even relay the reality of things correctly. Those at the helm of affairs in Nigeria do not care about us - you and I, and every other person we care about. It's why our security, health system, education, and other aspects of public governance are in painful shambles.

Instead of coming together to condemn those that have sentenced us to damnation, we draw divisive lines amongst ourselves and fight each other while the politicians continue their trades.

See how you easily assumed that the projectors of this report are from PO camp? It's this thinking that made you call out PO even though the thread has nothing to do with him. I tell you, many commenters on this thread are supporters of other politicians like Atiku, Sowore, Amaechi, etc. But none of these guys were called out.... except PO.

When I pointed this out, you went berserk.

This scenario would still play out if anyone calls out Atiku. His supporters will attack Tinubu and PO. If anyone calls out PO, his supporters will call out Tinubu and Atiku.

Question is, when will we all gather and call evil out irrespective of its perpetrator? Just when? If the evil is done by a Christian, many will say Muslims are attacking Christians...and vice versa.

You now see how limited our thinking is, no?

In future conversations, perhaps, you shouldn't hastily conclude that those that do not share your view belong to an opposing camp. Even if they do, not all supporters are blind - I'm not.

Apologies for any offense

I am tired of Obidient supporters defending the indefensible. I can’t see on what level from what angle anyone can support Obi except tribe or gullibility. I don’t get it, seriously, make it make sense! So I am naturally wound up when I get a DM from an Obidient. Generally they don’t have a compelling argument except name calling. I had interacted with some Obidients intitially on this subject so I lumped you wit the same crew. My bad for that in hind sight because I had actually noticed your name was Tonye but it didn’t occur to me that you probably were approaching this from a Rivers state angle. It’s difficult interacting with Obidients. That’s why I am very liberal with the block function on Nairaland.

Unfortunately even my sister who is/was an Obidient. She knows not talk to me about Obi. Thankfully I think she may has come to her senses.

Now back to corruption. I mentioned that without fanfare without noise, whether people appreciate it or not, Tinubu just removed $10-20b dollars annually of outright corruption from the system just by removing fuel and forex subsidies. I really do t think people appreciate it.


My problem is and I am very comfortable with and respect anyone who is opposed to the likes of Tinubu, APC or Wike. That respect stops when their idea of an alternative is a man with an abysmal record in office and no clearly articulated alternative plan, or people who themselves were the cause of the mess we are trying to solve or when people are not consistent in their criticisms or analysis. I am not here to point fingers for pointing sake and I detest such behaviour. I am more schooled and exposed than that.

Truth is our political system rewards the corrupt! That is our fault. We the better educated in society have stayed away from politics. I voted for Sowore in 2019 and another unknown in 2015. But I have since realized that voting for them thinking you are encouraging them is futile. An intelligent man like Adewole Adebayo from SDP can never win. My candidate in 2015 did not contest in 2019 and Sowore is still behaving in 2025 like he is in student union mode happy to forever be in opposition. Principled in his opposition but not offering credible alternative or building a structure or offering credible alternative ideas. To me now he is just a nuisance. Every government needs a nuisance like Sowore but he is clearly not serious about being in government.

Apologies if my response is disjointed. I am juggling a lot here.

Apologies for any misgivings.

Long and short . We are our own problem! We are also responsible for the kind of leaders we get. We take the small wins.
Again we are responsible for the kind of leaders we get. It is very true that a society gets the leadership it deserves. NIgerians are a difficult people to manage. I am going to end by I saying something that you may understand but if not hopefully one day you do. The kind of saints you talk about cannot manage the Nigeria of today. Only a well meaning gangster can manage Nigeria. You cannot manage the Nigeria of today as a goody 2 shoes!

Are you sure you're a human being with blood flowing through your veins or a bot? How can a human being be supporting anything evil and associated with corruption? Do you have conscience at all? Even Buhari in his bad governance, he was not defended by North like this. Those guys knew he was flopping and only chose to remain quiet for those who could not criticize. This demonic attitude will hunt all of una. Where is Buhari today? It's only good leadership that lives on after you.

Dalohad:
Good, since Justice Madam Wike is a member of the US Democrats party, it's time to write to current Republican administration to seize that property which was clearly acquired with illicit funds and bring her to book.

I am sure Trump dislikes members of the opposition in the USA who are corrupt and will be looking for scape goats.

It's time to drag them through the US Judiciary. No mercy for the 'Wiked'.

Do you think the kinds of Wike and Tinubu are afraid of Trump? I don't think so. They too may know where to press the US government

They are too tiny to press anyone outside Nigeria.

Outside Nigeria they cannot move with their entourage. They actually feel naked on the streets of advanced nations.

I dare Wike to travel to Spain and blow siren with 200 policemen and guards following him and lets see how that works out. He no fit..
