When we have so many lawyer that pass waec with expo and malpractices this is what you will get. Inviting a nodule seller and a complete nonenentity to come and address them and even insulted them on top and the dull lawyers were hailing him and clapping. Any Ratel be it a doctor or lawyer or whatever he is, has a dead brain and had been used and sacrificed by that idiot to his gods in the shrine.
Are you talking about Buhari’s former anti-corruption officer, whose case has died quietly after he must have struck a deal with the master strategist of Nigerian propaganda politics huh

iwaeda:
The police command in Cross River says its operatives have arrested Okoi Obono-Obla, a former presidential adviser, over allegations of forgery and obtaining entry into the legal profession by false pretence.

In a statement on Thursday, Eitokpah Sunday, Cross River police spokesperson, said Obono-Obla was “lawfully arrested” on Thursday around Abuja Park, Ugep town, in Cross River state.

Sunday said the arrest was sequel to a petition submitted to the state commissioner of police over allegations bordering on “forgery and obtaining admission or professional qualification/entry into the legal profession by false pretence”.

The police spokesperson dismissed claims that the ex-presidential adviser was kidnapped by unidentified security operatives.

“The arrest was effected in accordance with extant laws and in the exercise of the constitutional and statutory powers of the Nigeria Police Force to investigate allegations of criminal conduct,” the statement reads.

Honestly, I don't see anything intelligent in what he said. Everybody knows that whenever a nigeria politicians steals, the next thing is to launder the money and convert it to clean money by buying houses, building estates, religiious investment, autoshop,etc......some open secret foreign accounts, buy houses in the western countries etc......it's an open secret......however, all of these corrupt politician always send their children abroad to get educated and pay highly so highly for them to get western education while Nigerians school languished in needs and infrastructure....

i know you will be part of the people who will be unable to understand that Cows are being used for money laundering. Many of you are all on X forming intellectuals but lack that depth

the cow business rely heavily on physical cash, a government official can steal funds and then buy lot of cows, they then mark these cows using names you cant trace, cows in Nigeria moves from places to places, when they move these cattle from one location to another, they mix with other cows, now you have cows you can not trace or know their location

Now, these cows goes to another market faraway from its original market, it can be sold to any individual and no one will know where it came from, the official gets clean cash when it is sold, you get your cow for meat or breeding

NBA invited VDM to their gathering, next year it would be the turn of Sunday Igboho or MC Oluomo.
Last year, it was Portable. Next year, it will be Carter Efeh and Kolu.. We are not serious in this country.

“Cows Are Used for Money Laundering!” — VDM Says at the NBA Annual General Conference.

VeryDarkMan (VDM) has sparked controversy at the NBA Annual General Conference with a series of explosive claims about insecurity, politics and Nigeria’s security system. He alleged that cows are being used as a channel for money laundering in Nigeria, while also questioning who truly benefits from the country’s prolonged insecurity.

In his remarks, VDM argued that insecurity has become intertwined with politics and claimed that government officials, security agencies and senior military officers benefit from the crisis.
What qualifications this guy have to speak at the NBA Annual General Conference?

Just curious

Most of us have degrees, qualifications, and impressive backgrounds, yet we don't have the level of recognition and popularity this guy enjoys. I think that's why we're pained.

VDM addressing lawyers now? Has Satan totally given up on Nigeria? Who did we offend?

@ppogba down the thread just reminded me that the NBA had also invited Portable to perform in a previous conference.

What are they smoking in our law schools now?
You think you're smarter than those that do community policing or social responsibility?
Re: "The Root Of Insecurity Is Politics" — VDM Says At The NBA Conference by Flo36(m): 5:00am On Aug 26
Exam isn't the true text of knowledge and knowledge cannot be measure with your level of education. There's nothing wrong for NBA inviting VDM provided he has something to offer.
If the government isn't responsible for the insecurity in the country they should have ended it long ago but they are benefitting from it in so many ways. Vdm is 💯 right in all he said

.

He made a good point. Try to educate yourself by understanding what a money laundering is? The layers of money laundering? Then you should come back and edit what you type.

You don't have to go far to explain this to him. He/she should go learn what a money laundering is?

Please who is the unlearned here? Vdm is a graduate of business admin from Lagos State University, has been an advocate for justice and have had great positive impact on the lives of many Nigerians affecting his generation positively.

Yoruba proverb, "Ogbon ologbon kin je ki a pe agba ni were ", but since you bilived, in your way that, being a lawyer has made you omniscient, I pity who no pity you.

The young man made a very salient and brutal truth, but a stupid man must leave the message and attack the messenger.

Only in Nigeria. You can can argue with or without evidence that some herdsmen are working for some government officials. But for the government?
That is simply ridiculous.
Very ridiculous!

Besides, there is no place you will see a Fulani man moving around with 500 cows at once. That number is extremely exaggerated.

His used of words is terrible and disgusting too. I won't blame for that though..

VDM's statement are his thoughts at best. Most of things he said lack factual backings. I don't see any sense in his submissions. Careless talker.
factual backingshuh Some of you ehhh.....all what he said is the truth and he is referring to the insecurity in the North.

They also use illicit funds from kidnappings to buy gold in the north.
