Things can't continue like these in Nigeria, it's either it changes for the better, or we go our separate ways, and that won't happen until we (Yoruba) want it to happen, and for now, we ain't convinced that Nigeria can't be refixed, until Buhari proves otherwise.

Meet US Congressman Jefferson Jailed For Bribing Atiku - Cramjones[/b]

William Jennings Jefferson was born on March 14 1947. He was the US Congressman representing Louisiania's 2nd Congressional District.

[b]Party:
Democratic Party

Education:

B.A Southern University in Baton Rouge


J.D Harvard Law School

Married to Andra Jefferson with five daughters - Nailah Jefferson, Akilah Jefferson, Jamila, Jalila, and Jelani.

Charges:
He was convicted on a 13 count charge bordering on money laundering, bribery, and corruption. Of those convictions there was hard evidence that he gave Atiku Abubakar the then Vice President of Nigeria $500,000 to be able to secure a contract for American company iGate LLC, who had bribed him with $400,000 to secure contracts in Nigeria and Ghana, given his connections in those countries exchange for 10% shareholding in the company. Through secret FBI recordings, he estimated the company was going to make about $200 million a year after five years operations, giving him a $20million a year kickback from stocks in the company. The FBI found $90,000 cash hidden in his Freezer. The US. Attorney-General at a speech announcing his sentencing said "This ruling shows that America is a country of laws, that even a high ranking Congressman is not spared."

Jefferson was sentenced to 1year on each count with a total of 13 year sentence. He has currently served 7 years so far.

Meanwhile Atiku Abubukar his Nigerian counterpart, has gone on to build a University, enrich himself more, run for president, and even sponsor a current President to office. In summary, while Congressman Jefferson rots in jail for the late stages of his life, his counterpart in Nigeria, flies private jet, tweets to his numerous kids, and form "elderstatesman".

Never surrender your CONSCIENCE to the THEORY of MAJORITY.

What vast majority of Nigerians lack is the ability to think for themselves!!!

The youth in Nigeria can be likened to blind fellows without direction.

Politicians are close friends and pals with CULTISTS who themselves aren't educated and offices are churned out to incompetent fellows.

The few capable ones seating in good offices are ridden by the thugs to do their bidding else face numerous problems.

This is the state of Nigeria right now and we can only hope that things gets better!!!

Is only in Nigeria that the President would claim to be fighting corruption yet his own family is busy dwelling with Corrupt people in his party while fighting other corrupt people in other party.

Buhari is not the best to have happened to us in this nation at this moment. What Nigeria needs is a leader that can build the required platform to rebuild this nation. Mohammed Lai that should have ordinarily focused in re-orienting Nigerians is busy deceiving us all the way round.
Is quite unfair that APC is paying Nigerians this way.

Yet Britain and America still pay homage to atiku

This is my new prayer now
Any politician that's has stolen from Nigeria...
... May they and their families never know peace till they return our money
.. May their children trained with such money never become useful to them and their families
.. May all business investment made with that money fail
May they experience trouble in their families that's money can't solve
. Be u in APC or PDP. ... As far as u stole the money knowingly. .. u sha know no peace

THE CROWN/HOUSE WHERE LIES, DECEIT AND ILLEGALITY REIGNS.

It is rather unfortunate that Nigeria and Nigerians have found themselves in a dire situation where they are being led by a family that is full of deception, while pretending to be one with integrity. What a home.

If the husband is not lying about how they are borrowing N27m to buy nomination forms when the wife is donating N300m to charity, the daughter is living a flashy lifestyle in the UK. If the husband is not lying that he is worth only 150 cows and a house in Kaduna, the wife is wearing a N10m wristwatch that she claimed was a gift. If the husband is not lying that he completed his secondary school certificate, while hiring 21 lawyers to appear in court on his behalf when asked to provide same, the wife is claiming it is another Aisha Buhari that was an accomplice in a $170m money laundering. How do we cope with such a family as a Nigerian first family?

The level of dumbness and urgent response to defend their lies is another subject of concern. When the husband is not asking for the school to quickly release a fake WACE certificate in 2015 with a 73 year old man's picture as that which was obtained in 1962, the wife is generating a fake passport issued in 2012 to replace that of an Aisha Buhari that was involved in money laundering in 2006.

The level at which their folly is expressed in an attempt to fool Nigerians is legendary. To think that the International Passport of a pseudo Aisha Buhari appeared online 4 hours ago today only after the court judgement indicting the wife was made public is marvelous. In their little deceptive brains, they have ones again successfully decieved Nigerians.

Yet unfortunately, these are the bunch of unintelligent criminals we have to deal with for another 3 years as the Nigerian first family. Nothing, not even one thing has appears intelligent or straightforward from these people. And interstingly, we have a conglomerate of clowns online that actually believe in them. What a world...

Even the passport of the psuedo Aisha Buhari has a scarf on.....Scarfs are not allowed for international passports... Her two ears are covered which is not supposed to be

How on earth would these clowns not even learn how to do one thing right..even when lying...

LIVING A LIE MIGHT JUST BE A LIFESTYLE.
~Donald Ekpo
They were so quick to present a fake passport but crawling like snail and taking forever to present an ordinary WAEC certificate.

Let her pay a visit to the USA first because James Ibori was not James Ibori until he got to London.
Imagine the tact in bringing out another Aisha who is also from Daura. That Aisha does not enjoy immunity and the US government has not demanded for her since like they did with kashamu

Buhari is a thief . grin

And Atiku is a member of the APC and infact one of the members of Nigeria's President kitchen cabinet. That alone makes Atiku holy. After all, Abacha was not a thief.

And white people have been guilty of much worse than just bribery - entire peoples have been killed off by Europeans; unimaginable environmental degradation; and all manner of abuse towards humans and animals.

This is a silly and unintelligent post, unsuprisingly i can see readers jumping at it. His attempt to malign Atiku is weak. I went through his two sources, not a single mention of Atiku or Vice President in either. YEt the whole post is on Atiku. Perhaps you should attach a single article showing evidence of mention of Atiku's name.
