“I am thankful for all of those who said NO to me. It’s because of them I’m doing it myself.
It’s okay to outgrow people who don’t grow.
When you feel like giving up just remember that there are a lot of people you still have to prove wrong.
The world is full of nice people. If you can’t find one, be one.
Believe in yourself, take on your challenges, dig deep within yourself to conquer fears. Never let anyone bring you down. You got to keep going.
A walk to a nearby park may give you more energy and inspiration in life than spending two hours in front of a screen.
“If you can’t do anything about it then let it go. Don’t be a prisoner to things you can’t change.”
You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
I can and I will. Watch me.

If Nigerian historians could paint Gowon as a war hero and saint, only for him to be exposed to be a pilferer like this, then I wonder how much Nigerian government and historians have twisted the Nigerian civil war story

Gowon was Head of State from 1966-1975(9 years). Do you think he would he have waited until he was toppled in a coup before he started looting.

IBB was President from 1985-1993 and he reportedly stole over $10 billion dollars. And Abacha didn't request for it because he had plans to loot his own billions.

Absulami Abubakar was Head of State for 9 months and emptied the Central Bank of billions of dollars and OBJ didn't request any back because he planned to loot his own billions.


The worst part is that these people are still alive and enjoying Nigerian money.

Where a common armed robber would have been lynched or even shot by firing squad these men are given a hero's welcome, fly in lavish private jets and host expensive parties.

Nigerian Political and Leadership Elites: A legacy of the worst form of criminality ever known in global history!!!

Come 2023, anyone who campaigns, supports, listens to, and votes for a politician over the age of 50 has decided to completely bury this nation in the bottomless pit of corruption and retrogression.

Most Nigerian political patriarchs and elder statesmen are the worst criminals God ever had the misfortune of gifting this world... What an unfortunate nation!!!

Gowon was overthrown while at AU meeting. how did he then move the money to London we all know he stole but can this man's account be accurate. The west are enablers of corruptions but still come out latter to talk shit lmao grin

Well it might not be at once. He was head of state for 9 years. You don't expect to wait before he was overthrown. Being a military man, you should expect anything at a time. That's why Abacha had prepared enough loot. He did not perceive his death.

Gowon was removed from power in a coup while he was in Uganda. What time did he have to loot half of the central bank and come to London after his coup? Why didnt the government of Muritala request the funds transferred to London. There is no way that money that huge will leave the shores of Nigeria and not be noticed by the succeeding government. Also, he came back to Nigeria and nothing was done about it.
I am not defending nobody. This UK parliament man was probably a child when this thing happened. We need strong proof to verify this actually happened. Verbal assertions is not enough. We were sure of what Obasanjo did. We had proof of what Abacha did. So let the proofs come out.

Gowon-Took 50% of the Central Bank
IBB- Took 60% of the Central Bank
Abacha- Took 70% of the Central Bank
Abdusalami: Took 90% of the Central Bank and left OBJ with nothing in the coffers.
Buhari- I wonder how much Buhari has taken
BUHARI has stolen the bank it's self, They now listen to him. Very soon we'll start borrowing money from Niger to fund CBN.

an allegation is just what it is untill proven with facts.

The reality that this wealthy nation has become the one of the poorest in the world today is more than enough fact that the commonwealth has been mercilessly looted and diverted since independence....

No Nigerian elder statesman is exempt from this unforgivable plunder that started even before independence! Not a damn one!!!

It is beyond idiocy and slowpoke-ism for a youth to even try to defend these people in any form!!!

Kingof2nations:
he was once quoted to have said that money is not our problem but how to spend it is the problem

He did say that in the 70's because Nigeria was awash with cash. We hosted the All Africa games, literally doubled civil servant pay via the Udoji awards and built most of the infrastructure that we have now

IT IS A LIE THAT HE TOOK HALF OF THD CBN YO LONDON WITH HIM!

Two simple reasons
1. He was overthrown in a surprise coup ( I was in form 5) so how could he have taken money when the murtala coup occurred while he was outside the country in for an OAU meeting.

2. It is even a fact that Murtala Muhammed had to order for money to be sent to him because it was not befitting for a former head of state to be queuing up for food at Warwick University

I dont know where this big lie originated from ( I have my suspicions) but it is curious piece of revisionism

The English MP's who rely on information from Nigeria have to know that when some Nigerians want to make their point, they can bend the truth to achieve their purpose knowing that Nigerians believe anything that suits their prejudice.
