Proverbs8:18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.

More than half of the N171.32 billion ($1.1 billion) paid to Malabu Oil and Gas for the procurement of one of
Nigeria’s richest oil fields, OPL 245 by Shell and
Eni was used to bribe Nigerian politicians and
intermediaries who helped to secure the
controversial deal, Reuters is reporting.
According to a letter seeking the help of UK’s
Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to freeze the
assets of those involved, Italian prosecutors said
some of the N83 billion ($533 million) slush
money was used to buy private jets and armored
vehicles.
“We are investigating many money transfers to
many people in various countries who received
sums that vary from millions of dollars to
thousands of dollars,” Reuters claimed the letter
reads.

British prosecutors acting on the request have
already frozen two accounts with combined sum
of N29.5 billion ($190 million) belonging to the
chief intermediary, Emeka Obi.
Former oil minister, who was convicted for
money laundering in France, Dan Etete, owns
Malabu Oil and Gas. The company was
incorporated five days before the oil block was
awarded to it in 1998 during the regime of
military dictator, Sani Abacha.
While trying to cover his link with the company,
Mr. Etete registered the company with a fictitious
director, Kweku Amafegha. The company also
listed a fake address in registration documents.
Mr. Etete confessed to a British court in 2013
that former President, Olusegun Obasanjo,
demanded a slice of the oil block as bribe.
The Federal Government acted as a conduit for
the fund after Shell and Eni raised concerns over
transferring the money directly to Malabu due to
Mr Etete’s conviction.
PREMIUM TIMES investigation revealed that
after the money was paid to the Federal
Government account, it transferred N120 billion
($801 million) to Malabu’s account.
The Attorney General of the Federation,
Mohammed Adoke, and Minister of State for
Finance, Yerima Ngama, authorized the transfers.
The company subsequently transferred the
money to shady companies with fake addresses.
Despite overwhelming evidences showing that
Shell and Eni are aware that the money would be
paid to a character with a shady background,
officials of the companies have denied any wrong
doing in the affair.
For instance prosecutors said that a senior
official of Shell had a face-to-face meeting with
Mr. Etete over expensive “lunch and lots of iced
champagne” few moths before the money was
transferred to the Nigerian government.
An email presented during the trial also
mentioned that the Shell official who feted with
Mr Etete would refer to someone in The Hague
known as “Peter” over the terms of the deal.
Curiously, Shell’s CEO is named Peter Voser.
The Italian prosecutors are investigating the role
of Eni’s former CEO, Paola Scaroni and his
successor Claudio Descalzi, for alleged
international corruption over the scandal.

Ediskcab: Y'all above just displayed exactly what atiku was talking about.

“I am equally disturbed about the way our people have been divided along ethnic and religious lines and how we are steadily and dangerously losing a sense of community where every Nigerian can live together without mutual suspicion.“

He was actually referring to Jonathan and the pdp because never since after the civil war have Nigerians been this divided along ethnic and religious lines.

The simple reason y you all hate this honest man is because he is a Muslim, a northerner and above all a honest man.

Today I choose to stand bt d truth, I choose to see what General Muhammadu Buhari truly stands for and not who my pastor or any politician has told me, today I choose to stand by a good man, today I choose to b a Nigerian firs t and every other tym.

This news was twisted out of religious and ethnic bigotry. Som1 above even said because Buhari and Atiku are Muslims, they're automatically fanatics. So much for the way we reason without recourse to facts.

iterator24: AFP, AP and Reuters hate Nigeria with a passion

As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens. This is the case in: 

United States — Muslim 0.6%
Australia — Muslim 1.5%
Canada — Muslim 1.9%
China — Muslim 1.8%
Italy — Muslim 1.5%
Norway — Muslim 1.8%


At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. This is happening in: 

Denmark — Muslim 2%
Germany — Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%
Spain — Muslim 4%
Thailand — Muslim 4.6%


From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for
Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. This is occurring in:

France — Muslim 8%
Philippines — 5%
Sweden — Muslim 5%
Switzerland — Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad & Tobago — Muslim 5.8%


At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.


When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam, with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections, in:

Guyana – Muslim 10%
India — Muslim 13.4%
Israel — Muslim 16%
Kenya — Muslim 10%
Russia — Muslim 15%


After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in:

Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8%


At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in:

Bosnia — Muslim 40%
Nigeria – Muslim 50.4%
Chad – Muslim 50.3%
Lebanon — Muslim 59.7%


From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and ***ya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in:

Albania — Muslim 70%
Malaysia — Muslim 60.4%
Qatar — Muslim 77.5%
Sudan — Muslim 70%


After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and in some ways is on-going in:

Bangladesh — Muslim 83%
Egypt — Muslim 90%
Gaza — Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%
Iran — Muslim 98%
Iraq — Muslim 97%
Jordan — Muslim 92%
Morocco — Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan — Muslim 97%
Palestine — Muslim 99%
Syria — Muslim 90%
Tajikistan — Muslim 90%
Turkey — Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates — Muslim 96%

In her essay Shaw was making a case for a shorter term that would be used for the "agglomeration of pagan and Mahomedan
States" that was functioning under the official
title, " Royal Niger Company Territories". She
thought that the term "Royal Niger Company
Territories" was too long to be used as a
name of a Real Estate Property under the
Trading Company in that part of Africa.
