Bro, if my father or wife is president today, and I schooled in the UK or US and I make connections with my schoolmates father who wants to buy oil block from NNPC, and I talk to my presidio father, and he sells the oyel block to my father's friend, one month down the line, the oyel company strikes oil in commercial quantity and my friends father pays me 1million dollars as thank you money for talking to your presido father on our behalf, Have I stolen from Nigeria
The bottom line is that as PEJ, she has so much influence to lobby so in some cases, she might not have looted state funds to be very rich. This happens all the time in Washington. But I can say that of course, as first lady, that will pose a huge conflict of interest on GEJs presidency.

Please you all should leave this woman alone. If you are made the President or to be the wife of the president, you will also steal. Show me all the first ladies we have had in this country that did not lick oil. I bet you none is innocent. They are all guilty.
Yeah, that's the mindset. It's quite unfortunate that it's people like you who get to the top most of the time. Rapacious animals in hot romance with the jungle. Psychopaths who want to kill off civilization; society , law and order so that they can trample the rest of us to the ground with impunity. The most cupid souls in this galaxy.... as devilish as one can get. It's very obvious that either consciously or subconsciously, you're nursing the dream of walking over us someday, like other psychopaths before you.

Don't worry. The harvest has almost dawned. The time to commence the shooting down of the hawks is almost upon us. They will prey on the doves no more. The retaliators are on the rise. Every single one of you beasts will get what (s)he deserves.

If, however, you think you're not of this ilk, then never you make this kind of statement again. It doesn't portray you in a good light.

EFCC chasing shadows as usual. I wonder how they will be able to prove corrupt enrichment when there is no official budget for the office of the first Lady.
Cases like this are difficult to prove as she wasnt acting in any official capacity and most of those monies came from kickbacks for influencing certain contracts or Licenses.
Lest we forget so soon Aisha made $20m round tripping and some people are here blowing hot air.

I agree with you but has EFCC and the media been able to investigate and explicitly tell Nigerians the source of of PEJ's money in those accounts?
For instance, we know that obanikoro, fani kayode and other indicted politicians in gejs administration got those money from the NSA which we all agree that was illegal. All what I m saying is that the EFCC and journalists should prove to Nigerians how PEJs money in Skye bank or whatever is stolen money or not. I voted for PMB but his anti corruption crusade isn't tactical and I'm sure that He is overwhelmed to the extent that all he just want to do is to enjoy one day at a time as president.

The statement added, “For the avoidance of doubt, while indeed it is true that Dame Patience is in court for the protection of her fundamental rights infringed upon by a ‘No debit order’ placed on her funds by the EFCC, it is not for $15m but for funds less than $10m as has been clarified several times.

“The purported story in a newspaper on November 19, 2016, about a missing $175m allegedly belonging to the former first lady is not just fictitious but plain falsehood.”

Patience said if the EFCC was looking for a ‘missing’ $175m it should ask Skye Bank where all her accounts were domiciled.

Dame Patience Jonathan, wife of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, has denied media reports that $175m is missing from her bank accounts.

Patience said her account balance as of the time it was frozen by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission was less than $10m.
She, therefore, urged the media to be fair to her and stop twisting facts.

She said this in a statement signed by her spokesman, Mr. Sam Dokubo, on Wednesday.

The statement added, “For the avoidance of doubt, while indeed it is true that Dame Patience is in court for the protection of her fundamental rights infringed upon by a ‘No debit order’ placed on her funds by the EFCC, it is not for $15m but for funds less than $10m as has been clarified several times.

“The purported story in a newspaper on November 19, 2016, about a missing $175m allegedly belonging to the former first lady is not just fictitious but plain falsehood.”

Patience said if the EFCC was looking for a ‘missing’ $175m it should ask Skye Bank where all her accounts were domiciled.

It added, “The EFCC has not made any statement to the existence of an investigation of any missing $175m linked to the former first lady.

“If any such funds as claimed, which was deposited by certain verifiable persons has gone missing without a trace from a known bank, Skye Bank, as was reported, then, the bank, its officials and those mentioned must be held to account for the funds and not the former first lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, who was in no way a part of the transaction.

“The claim that the money was credited to a company linked to Dame Patience Jonathan is also false; otherwise it should be officially substantiated with credible evidence by Skye Bank and the EFCC that are jointly mentioned in the report.”
Mrs. Jonathan threatened to sue media houses that continue to malign her.
Patience is suing the EFCC and Skye Bank for freezing accounts linked to her. She is also demanding a N200m settlement.

Very sick u are...... why is the Naira keep falling like water fall ? because people like her killed naira by demanding to much of dollar for safe keeping.
it would have been a case of severe stealling if the money were to be kept in Naira, but what we have is tripple trajedy.

1. serious amount of money got missing from the economy stolen in Naira
2. this money was converted into dollar killing the naira due to too much dollar demand hence what we have now.
3. This said money could no longer creat infrastructure for the masses.

some people needs a brain transplant or reprogramming at least.

I see much ignorance, so much bile, so much bad Belle here.
This witch hunt and trial by media of the former first lady is not only disgusting ,by very very cowardly.

The effcc reasons that PEJ is a political nobody, so they are at liberty to drag her through the mud just the feed the irrational appetite of their legions of Zombies looking for a scapegoat for this government's monumental incompetence.

So far throughout all these humiliating ordeals in the hands of the effcc and the Media, not a single charge of stealing public funds has been leveled against PEJ.

All I here are oohs and aahhs about the millions of dollars in her account, as if that itself was a capital crime in this country.

Well, for those who are ignorant or simply have a bad memory, let me remind all of you of an incident that I remember vividly that occurred long before GEJ became president.

When GEJ was still deputy governor of Bayelsa State, PEJ was intercepted at Port Harcourt International Airport with several million dollars. It made newspaper headlines, and I was so sure at that time, that the Jonathans must be stealing Bayelsa State Blind.
The then effcc got involved in matter, and much to my surprise, they cleared her of any wrongdoing and released the money back to her.
Anyone interested can do a newspaper search of this incident way back during the OBJ administration.

Therefore, the point here , which is very important, is that however PEJ got her millions of dollars, she has such money long before they entered Aso Rock.
And this is what the poor woman has been crying loudly all along, for someone to listen to her.
She did not hold any public office during her husband's reign, neither did she preside over any multi-million dollar budgets from which she could have stolen her millions.

I have no idea where or how she made her millions of dollars, but I know for sure, it is publicly evident, that she had such wealth long before taking up residence in Aso Rock.

It is unfair and cowardly to be publicly humiliating a former first lady for the crime of having millions of dollars , whereas, the current first lady, whom also we know to have held no public office, nor captain of any industry, is also walking around, splashing tens of millions of naira here and there, N60m watch here, N15m handbags there, 150k pounds tuition for her children, etc.

Possession of wealth should not be a crime for which a person is hounded and publicly humiliated.

With that mindset, the effcc is encouraging capital flight.
Who wants to keep their wealth in a country that fights, harasses and humiliated wealth ?
