If u r saying palm oil was more lucrative then the people incharge must av been shortchanging Nigeria löng b4 corruptiön started. Indonesia has crude oil and is into heavy refining of crude oil for ur info.
Yes you are right about Indonesia having crude oil , just like the south east and south south also has crude oil .
here are some stats for you :
[b]Malaysia and Indonesia major source of income is cocoa compared to Ivory coast and Ghana who's source of income is Cocoa.
Malaysia has a yearly GDP of about 414.4 billion with palm oil and rubber contributing 10% (roughly 41billion) to this amount .
Indonesia has a yearly GDP of about 1trillion dollars with palm oil and rubber contributing 15% or 15billion to their economy .
compare with Ghana and Ivory coast whose yearly GDP are 71.3 billion and 35.8billion respectively
Yearly exports of Palm oil from Malaysia ALONE is roughly 17.7 million tonnes and currently the market price of crude palm oil is $1008 .Compared to an estimated MAX of 3.7million tonnes of cocoa yearly export and currently the market value of cocoa is 1473.39 .
By products of Palm oil are:
1. vegetable / cooking oil
2. bleached oil for baking
3. Bio diesel : Can be used in place of Fuel / petrol for cooking and powering vehicles .
The demand for palm oil and rubber is always on the increase in the world , Palm trees fruits are a seasonal crop . The export is about 17.7million compared to 3.7million for cocoa . The By products mean no part of it gets wasted
I don't know how people would start arguing ignorantly without having the FACTS.[/b]

Ohh so the white people were maybe BIASED towards cocoa right ? Talk about "agricultural racism" . The reason the white people and the rest of world embraced Palm oil and Rubber more is because it had more POTENTIALS and BY PRODUCTS. Lets be reasonable about this when arguing , Please .
no time, no strength to argue. when are you gonna divide the country so that you can keep all the oil for yourself. I'd personally help you.
when the aboki's are done annihilating you jos folks in a genocide , then we would have drawn the sympathy of the UN and then we would divide Nigeria .
once upon a time as well, tin from my state was one of the major source of income in this country.
As far as i know MAYBE tin was one of the major source of income in your region back then but tin was NEVER a major source of income for Nigeria as a country . You can do you research online to find out more . Before Crude oil was found Nigeria's economy was an agrarian one , Exportation of Cotton while the Old eastern region exported Palm oil , and rubber . Cocoa was from the west and Ground nut and back then the revenue was shared 50% .
However it must be said that cocoa NEVER kept Nigeria's economy up alone and can NEVER be compared to products such as Palm Oil and Rubber not to talk of Crude oil . In the world right now Malaysia and Indonesia have better economies than that of most western countries and the major source of income of both nations are rubber and palm oil . Cocoa alone CANNOT sustain one quarter of Nigeria .
Ape ! Was he trying to break up the country or bring his people back to their region since other Nigerian region were violently hostile to them and the nation and its leadership decided to turn a blind eye .
Rather than protest the killings and condemn Boko Haram which will make more sense and go a long way, signing a condolence register on a forum is what you would rather do?
Na wa oh ! Everything seems TOTALLY wrong in this country . Wouldn't this be the best time for :
1. Our Civil rights groups , well wishers and christian association of Nigeria to take a stand and issue a strong message out there to the perpetrators of this heinous and cowardly act and to also lambaste our good for nothing so called security agents or should i say "boko haram agents in uniform"
2. For Nigeria as a nation to declare at least a day of mourning in memory of those who lost their lives in the Christmas day bomb blast.
3. At least this week the governor of the state in which this attack to place should at least pick out a day to invite the family members of the victims to the government house for consolation .
This steps wouldn't do much to heal the emotional wounds of the family / loved ones of the victims but it would show that our government still cares . The Federal and State government in Nigeria either have very poor PR departments or they just don't care about the lives and well being of Nigerians and its very sad.
THIS LASINOH IS A TRANSVESTITE GORILLA THAT HAS A BRAIN FULL OF EXCRETA AND THAT'S WHY IT (MAYBE A MALE/FEMALE GORILLA) KEEPS SCREAMING AMERICA !! AMERICA !! IN EVERY POST THE FACT THAT YOU ARE IN AMERICA DOESN'T MEAN YOU ARE IN HEAVEN . I KNOW 2ND CLASS NIGERIAN - AMERICAN WANNABE'S THAT CAME BACK HOME WITH NOTHING AND I KNOW NIGERIANS WHO STAYED BACK AND BUILT THEMSELVES A LIFESTYLE / EMPIRE THAT ANY HUMAN ON THE FACE OF EARTH WOULD ENVY . LASINOH , YOU SHOULD START READING A LITTLE BIT MORE AND STOP THIS WHOLE "OHHH AMERICA , THE GREATEST " THING ! ITS DUMB AND EMBARRASSING

See ya contri man be 7th class citizen for Indian ghetto!
[b]From the above red, bolded words i just realized that my last comment was actually directed to a Gorilla and not a human being . Honestly the technological advancement of the world has improved so much that even Gorilla's such as yourself now have access to the Internet . I was actually offended when you used the words "OUR SUPERIOR" but now i understand better and yes you are TOTALLY CORRECT the white man is SUPERIOR TO A GORILLA / PRIMATE ANY DAY but here is the thing and i hope i don't sound rude but i am not one of your kind , i am not a primate like you are , i am an african and we (We in this sense means Africans not we as in you and i because you are a primate) along with the other races in the world make up what is called the "Human race" we are way above your kind and when i say your kind i mean PRIMATES . When you are done using the internet, i suggest you stroll back into your cage like the Gorilla you are and entertain the white people who are superior to primates such as yourself , Don't take this wrong i am not trying to insult you , its just that you have to learn to embrace what you are and in your case you are a GORILLA [/b]
You must be on 'mushrooms' yourself. Shameless nigger wey nor get water and light for im village. Keep waiting for "nuclear war and proliferation". If Boko Haram does not smoke up your arzzze first. You love Nigeria? I know. God has sealed your destiny with poverty. Me and you nor dey the same category. So, enjoy your hell on Earth. Ewu!
Na wa for ignorance at its finest . do you think every Nigerian is broke ? And do you really believe because you are in the states that you and other Nigerians back in Ngeria are "NOT IN THE SAME CATEGORY" ? For real ? Lol i have seen Nigerians who "PURE WHITE / 1ST CLASS AMERICAN CITIZENS" would be willing to trade their lives with ANYDAY . Smarten up . sometimes you ignorance portrays you as someone who's head is full of excreta .

Lasinoh and whatever the other fool's name is, you are two of the most ignorant, st.upid, and dumb lowlifes and scumbags I've been cursed to read on this forum. Illiterate slaves with nothing upstairs. You think coming online to insult and badmouth your country from America is really kosher. Shameless animals lacking the merest dignity. I bet you're far too stup.id to even consider that whatever you're enjoying there could all collapse in one night, owing to the policies of brigandage and nuclear war/proliferation perpetrated by the authorities there. Mind you're not there when the mushroom cloud appears. Thoughtless dumbitos with no brain.
+1MILLION . Don't mind the other f00ls who come here to talk shit about blacks being cursed . If you feel you are cursed then speak for yourself . I personally believe the projects i am working on would be ground breaking and i believe there are thousands if not millions of Africans worldwide working or inventing something good .
I love Americans I tellya! African go begin piss for body. . . or begin chant. . . "Jesus-Jesus"!
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh!!!!
I would have done exactly the same thing. Any Foreigner landing his or her azzzze in Nigeria should be prepared to die ke! Kudos!
TRUST ME THE OYINBO GUY KNOWS THATTHESE GUYS ARE JUST LOOKING FOR MONEY . IF HE WAS KIDNAPPED BY ALSHABBAB OR SOME ISLAMIC NUT CASE THEN I AM SURE HE WOULD SĤĭŦ IN HIS PANTS.
I don't have time to respond to intellectual midgets, kaji ko?
Eze gbuburu of NL - the coward, nwanne, I'm sure you were not forced out of Nigeria by Maitatsine religious sect as suggested above because during the riots some people relocated to their native states while a vast majority remained in the North. Is the fool above correct that you ran away to America because of Maitatsine? If so, it is very hypocritical of you to be telling Igbos to stay put in Kano.
ADMIT THAT YOU ARE A STARK ILLITERATE AND A F00L WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT NIGERIAN POLITICS . YOUR POLITICAL AWARENESS STARTED WITH NAIRALAND AND WAS BUILT ON THE FOUNDATION OF TRIBALISM YOUR KIND LAID HERE ON NAIRALAND AND THAT'S WHY YOU THINK THAT ISLAMIC EXTREMISM STARTED IN THE 90'S . INSTEAD OF MAKING A F00L OUT OF YOURSELF ADMIT YOU MADE A MISTAKE AND STOP OPENING YOUR STÜPID MOUTH TO TALK ABOUT THINGS THAT YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT .
Eze, it appears that you are both a liar and a dolt. The extremists who you claim forced you out of Nigeria did not appear in Nigeria until the 90s, olodo. It appears Al Quaeda drove you out of Nigeria, ko?
Extremists ko, ra pists ni. abeg no make me laugh.
So in other words the Maitatsine religious crisis and riots in which more than 3,000 people lost their lives happened in the 90's abi ? How old are you Oga "chucks" ?
@OP, you nor try. why fight an armed Policeman. I simply gave them a bundle of Wazos (N50k to be exact) with a gun still pointed to my head. I prayed for the 1st time in donkey years and went to church the next sunday. Thank God for ya life
only smart people can read this . i couldnt believe that i could actually understand what i was reading . the phenomenal power of the human mind , according to a research at Cambridge university , it doesn't matter what order the letters in a word are , the only important thing is that the first and last letter be in the right place . The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without a problem . This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself , but the word as a whole . Amazing huh ? Yeah and i always thought spelling was important ! if you can read this pass it on
UNDER ABDULSALAMI'S TENURE , THE JUDICIARY REFUSED TO PASS JUDGEMENT ON AL MUSTAPHA BECAUSE THEY WERE AFRAID OF THE BACKLASH . UNDER OBJ'S TENURE THE SAME THING HAPPENED LIKE WISE UNDER THE SHORT LIVED YARADUA'S TENURE . BUT NOW SOME PEOPLE HAVE WRONGLY ADVISED GOODLUCK TO BEAR THE BURDEN AND PASS THE JUDGEMENT THAT OTHERS HAVE ALL BEEN AFRAID OF PASSING . WHY DO YOU THINK OTHERS WERE AFRAID OF PASSING JUDGEMENT ON AL-MUSTAPHA . GOODLUCK DON'T FALL FOR IT , THESE PEOPLE ARE BITTER AND ANGRY AND THEY WANT TO USE YOU AS A PUPPET TO CARRY OUT THEIR ANGER ON AL MUSTAPHA BECAUSE OF THE DEATH OF KUDIRAT ABIOLA , SHE DON DIE GO , LET THESE PEOPLE LEAVE US TO REST ENOUGH OF ALL THESE TRIBAL POLITICS / JUNE12 CRAP! , THESE PEOPLE ARE WITCH HUNTING AL MUSTAPHA AND TO MAKE IT WORSE THEY ARE NOT BOLD ENOUGH TO DO IT THEMSELVES (COWARDS) SO THEY WANT TO USE SOMEONE FROM ANOTHER REGION TO DO IT.
IS THIS NOT THE SAME FULANI / HAUSA GUYS THAT THE PEOPLE FROM THE NIGER DELTA SAID CAME TO "LIBERATE" THEM FROM THE CHAINS AND SLAVERY OF THE IGBO MAN IN 1967 ? , HOW IS THAT "LIBERATION" WORKING FOR YOU GUYS ? 2012 LOOKS LIKE THE SEASON FINALE OF NIGERIA LOL . I DEY LAUGH OH .NIGER DELTA WADO!
OK, I made a mistake, a serious one for that matter. I thought you are a rational person but since you are not, let the irrationality begins NOW, AND IN EARNEST, you son of a dirty Beyerbe.
You must be a product of one of those rampant incestuous relations that are so common among your bastard, dirty, untrust-worthy, treacherous people. If your dirty, lazy grand-father-turned-father would tell you, how many Hausa-Fulanis were killed in your areas during riots?
Whatever venom you think you have against the Hausa-Fulani, there are guys among us who have MUCH MORE against your dirty, untrust-worthy people.
And with all your bragging, a Fulani guy I know could bleep your ashawo mother in front of your lazy, dirty grandfather-turned-father and you won't dare raise a finger; and as he fcuks the old ashawo, he can force you and your dirty grand-father-turned-father to continue repeating part of your rantings below with some modification as follows;
". . . and oh, I do hope that a Katsina man in Kano finds two Yorubas to behead for this attack in Ikeja. You talking about killing Fulanis in Lagos. . . .when has thatt not already happened? How about the resident of Idi-Araba that was robbed and then beaten to death? You owe us a reprisal on that. How many should we count? Fvck you and fvck Obas of Yoruba everywhere in Nigeria, east, west or north!"
[b]After that Fulani guy is done with your ashawo mother, and after you and your two-in-one bastard of a father (grand-father-turned-father) [/b]had been forced to repeat the above in unison, then the Fulani guy would force the ashawo herself to join in repeating with you, since she could not join you when she was being fcked.
A big double-bastard you are, by birth, and a big double-bastard you would remain. Omo ale, omo asawo, oluri buruku, olodo rapata, omo aja.
O boy what is this all about now ? did you have to put NTNS on blast like that ? men for an aboki you get mouth oh
which one be sey middle belt holds Nigeria together ? abi make we hear word . everybody carry your own cross and OCCUPY YOUR RESOURCES . sovereign national conference 2012 is on the way.
fvck you and your rationale! Who get time for rationale? No we are talking about blood you are talking bout rationale. . . . . you bastard!!
Fulani went to chop someone head off for complaining about grazing on their land and you call tmy response irrational. Maybe we should start the reprisal on your head, you fvcker!!
I stand by what I said. . . . there is no more forgiveness and being rational in Nigeria. . . . any tribe, I dont care what your father name is come to Yorubaland to shed Yoruba blood. . . you will get your blood spilled. fvck u!!
. . . and oh, I do hope that an Akure man in Lagos find two fulanis to behead for this attack in Akure. You talking about killing Yorubas in Katsina. . . .when has thatt not already happened? How about the school teacher that was stripped Unclad and then beaten to death? You owe us a reprisal on that. How many should we count? Fvck you and fvck sarikin fulani everywhere in Nigeria, east, west or north!
Dont piss me off mothrfvcker!!
See as you dey vex badly . only thing be sey if u fit vex like dis wen u see aboki man in real life e for beta.
Below is an abridged version of the statements of Major Hamza Al-Mustapha and Sergeant Barnabas Jabila aka Rogers before the Special Investigation Panel, SIP as published by TELL in edition No 48, November 27, 2000. Excerpts:
SIP: Major Al-Mustapha, what was your role in the series of assassinations carried out in this country as at that time? We think the Kudirat’s own came first. Al-Mustapha: Yes sir. SIP: Tell us, what you know about it. Al-Mustapha: The little I know about it was reported. She was assassinated sir. SIP: By? Al-Mustapha: I don’t know, sir. SIP: How did you feel when you heard of the news? Al-Mustapha: I really felt bad sir. SIP: You felt bad? Al-Mustapha: Yes, sir. SIP: Why? Al-Mustapha: Why? Because of my personal relationship with late M.K.O. Abiola Encounters with Abiola SIP: What was it? Al-Mustapha: I knew him long ago. And even while he was here in Abuja. When he was in custody, I was always going to him and there were a lot of discussions I had with him. Much, much earlier, I had a very long-standing relationship with him. And that was why I fought it on my own. Even on quarterly basis, sometimes, I do take loan, I gave as much as N800,000 to the commissioner of police in Abuja for his upkeep. And every time, I went to section, and he was in need of things, I do buy personally with my money for him because of the relationship I had with him. I used to tell him never to mention my name in anything. But yet, there were some of his notes from what I read in the papers, even when the late head of state was still alive, that actually he wrote, that has to do with me, thanking me for what I did for him. But to me, I saw him as a father. The late head of state introduced him to me, it was actually one time when he came for breaking of the fast, to eat in his house. He introduced him to me as a father. And I said, “But why do you have to fight now? Why don’t you sit down and reconcile and agree?” He would always tell me. “Yes,” he agreed. But (the next day) when he came out, he would say “no,” he would not agree. So. I kept convincing him in that direction. I actually played a role in trying to make sure that they agreed between themselves. So, that is all sir. SIP: Now when Kudirat was killed? Al-Mustapha: Yes sir. SIP: Who were the officers you sent to monitor, to cover the burial? Al-Mustapha: Er… I heard reports sir. SIP: But you sent officers? Al-Mustapha: I didn’t send anybody. SIP: You said you can’t recall if you sent anyone there? Al-Mustapha: No, you said, “Who were the officers sent for the burial?” No I didn’t send anybody. SIP: Do you have any documentation, blueprint on the burial, photographs etc? Al-Mustapha: No. I don’t think I have it sir. Apart from the one I watched on NTA. I don’t think I have anything sir. SIP: Did you send anybody? Al-Mustapha: No sir. SIP: Okay, who is Abraham Adesanya? Al-Mustapha: I don’t know sir. I don’t know much sir. SIP: You don’t know much? Al-Mustapha: Yes sir. SIP: How would you feel if people were brought in here to say, “Look, you sent us to so, so and so place sir, on so, so, so and so assignment?” Al-Mustapha: They say that sir, but I know, then I would remember if I sent them I would then say I sent them sir. SIP: Why do you think they can say you said so? Al-Mustapha: I don’t know. SIP: Of course … Al-Mustapha: You are talking about my personal instructions. SIP: We mean if the people say you sent them for the assignments? Al-Mustapha: If they come in and say, I sent them sir, it will prick my conscience, I know I have not sent them. Let them prove to me (that) I sent them. I did not send anybody. SIP: (To Rogers) Who is this man? Rogers: He is Major Al-Mustapha. He was the former CSO to the former head of state, General Sani Abacha. SIP: Were there times he sent you out on assignments outside Abuja? Rogers: Yes sir. He sent me. RUTAM House sir. I remember; to burn down RUTAM House. He sent us with OC MOPOL to go and burn down RUTAM House. Then he sent us for … Al-Mustapha: (Cuts in) I didn’t send you. Rogers: You sent us. Al-Mustapha: No, I didn’t. Rogers: You sent me. You sent us to RUTAM House, assassination of Alex Ibru, Kudirat Abiola, Segun Osoba, Bola Ige, Abraham Adesanya. You sent us on these assignments. Al-Mustapha: I didn’t send you on all these assignments. Rogers: You sent me. SIP: (Cuts in. To Al-Mustapha) No, don’t argue with him. Don’t respond. You will have to ask him questions. But let him say what he wants, you just listen. Al-Mustapha: Okay. SIP: (To Rogers) Go on. Rogers: What I want to tell you is that we should not deny it here again. Because you told me that we should deny it. You said we should deny it that you have already settled with the police, you’ve settled with the chief judge, you understand; you told me so. Yes. You sent Aminu Mohammed to come and call me in my house. I came and met you. The two mobile policemen on duty. You can find out, the two mobile policemen on duty that day, you told them that I should wait in the small guardroom. I waited there. You came and met me, you said I should come out. I came out, you said that you had already talked with the chief judge, you’d settled everything, you’d seen all the lawyers, you said we should deny everything. You said, Rewane and Yar’Adua, you said you had run concrete cover for them. The remaining, Alex Ibru and Kudirat Abiola, that we should deny. Al-Mustapha: (Cuts in) I told you this? Rogers: I believe you should be bold enough to come out and say the truth. Why denying it? I believe you should be bold. Because you’ve been telling us that you are going to protect us, we should not worry. You should be bold enough to come out. And you are a major! SIP: (Cuts in) Let’s go about it this way. Since the beginning of this incident, what were his involvement? What happened? Who told you? How it was done and how you reported back to him on each of these incidents. Just count them. When you were working for him, did you have any grudge at all for any reason? Rogers: No grudge. He is my boss. I don’t have any grudge. Anything he sends me, I do it. SIP: Did he treat you well? Rogers: He treated me well, very well. He gives me welfare (money), even the last money he gave me was $1,000, when I was working in Jos prison, my mother was sick. I came down from Jos prison to come and see you while you were about entering one Mercedes Benz, a new Mercedes bus. You were wearing safari. You called me, you gave me $1,000. You said I should go back to work. I changed it to N85,000. SIP: (To Al-Mustapha) True or false? Al-Mustapha: True, I gave him that money. SIP: Okay. (To Rogers) Did he send you on any course? Rogers: Yes, he sent me to a course in North Korea. SIP: So you have no reason to lie? Rogers: I have no reason! And even one time, he was going to Libya, I could remember, he said I should follow him. I followed him to Libya and he gave me extra $300. SIP: What did you go for? Rogers: We went for the graduation of some BGS (bodyguards) like that, who graduated from a course. SIP: (To Al-Mustapha) Is that true? Al-Mustapha: So, I took a team to Libya and then graduated another team. That’s apart …
The Attack on Ibru SIP: (To Rogers) Please, tell us some of the agenda on Ibru. The plan on the assassination of Ibru and the burning down of RUTAM House. Rogers: The first one was RUTAM House. He and OC MOPOL, Lawal. They called me on air, then I came. I mean I reached the office, Lawal joined us, then Sani, Samaila, Shaibu and Lawal. You sent us. You briefed us that RUTAM House has to be burnt down. You said so. So you told us that we should make sure that it was burnt down. We moved from Abuja, (I), Lawal and the other two chaps, Samaila and Lani Garba, to Lagos. On reaching Lagos, we were received by Major Ado. At the airport, he sent a vehicle to come and pick us. From there we moved to Dodan Barracks. On reaching Dodan Barracks, Oga Lawal said we should proceed for raid. We went there, we checked. Later on, we went to James Dambaba. In the night, when we reached there to burn the house, there was a police team just by the RUTAM House, so we had to go and meet James Dambaba. Dambaba now called the police on the radio that they should move to Oshodi, the there was a robbery at Oshodi. Then when they moved, we came and we put petrol and fire. Er … Superintendent Lawal lighted the matches. So we burnt half. We went back to Dodan Barracks. After about one, two days, we came back to Abuja. You were not happy. You said why didn’t we make sure that it was burnt properly because “was there nothing like fuel dump inside?” We said. “There was” and you said, why didn’t we burnt it properly? You said we should get ready to go back. This time around, it was for Alex Ibru and that we should make sure he was assassinated. So, we went to meet James Danbaba. So, we went back and when we reached Lagos, you gave money. N25,000, to Superintendent Lawal to give to James Dambaba. We went, we gave it to James Danbaba. And when we went, we told him that “this is the situation” so he now told us that we should not use our arms so that it would not be traced back to us. He said there were arms that they seized from armed robbers and ECOMOG soldiers, which were still with them. Then we came, he said we should come and meet the former military administrator of Zamfara State, Colonel Jubril Yakubu. I came and the others. We met him. When we met him, he gave us the two rifles, AK47 with 30 rounds of two magazines each. So, from there, we proceeded to our office, the CSO’s guest house. That was where we were kept, right behind Dodan Barracks. He took us round right there. We shared the two rifles, one to OC MOPOL, one to my car, the one I was in. Then from there, we moved back to Federal Palace Hotel to check for Alex Ibru. We couldn’t find him. We moved to his house to look for him. The house that they took us to. They said he was not there, that it was for his brother, Felix Ibru. Then we had to come back to Federal Palace where we found out from those people that were selling souvenirs there, we asked them, “Is Alex Ibru in?”, then the people said, “Yes, he is in.” (I) and Lawal now moved, and as we were moving towards there, he was coming out. Then we came back and entered the vehicle, (I) and Lawal. Then we moved, we pursued, then Lawal said, I should, when we were approaching, my vehicle should move forward, then he would move from the back to give me cover-up. Right from there in front, I opened (fire), when we came closer to the bridge, he was going down to Bourdillon. Then we went straight to Ikoyi Hotel. He said now …, immediately we reached there, I should open fire. Then I opened fire from the front, he was opening fire from the rear. That is how it happened . Then immediately we turned under the bridge, we went back to Dodan Barracks. Then you were informed that this is what happened by Lawal, the O.C MOPOL. That is about Alex Ibru. Now, about the case of … SIP: How did he react? Rogers: He was not happy. He said why didn’t we trail him properly? Al-Mustapha: (Cuts in) I didn’t … Rogers: (Cuts in sharply) You said so! You were not happy. Even during IBB, you said you are the people that kept them. You helped them to keep them in all these types of assignments, 1,2,1,2. Then Aminu Mohammed, he told me that “this man doesn’t know what is happening in Lagos. Why should he say we should do 1,2,1,2 and come back with all these Operation Sweep (forces) and other things.” I said, “don’t worry.” The Kudirat one. There was Alhaji Lateef (Shofolahan), one of your informants. Early in the morning, on the 4th, I moved with Katako to Alhaji Lateef to go and get information about the woman, where she would be going. Immediately we reached there, she came out of the house, out of Abiola Crescent. Then we followed, we trailed her to Allen Avenue to the roundabout. She dropped a lady and again proceeded to Alausa police station. On reaching there, (Alausa), we trailed her close to the express, we opened fire on her. Immediately we opened fire on her, I told Katako to move immediately. He moved immediately and we went to Dodan Barracks, and immediately I tried to get you on phone. But unfortunately, I couldn’t get you. Then I called O.C Lawal. He now phoned, he told me that he had gotten to you. Then later they connected me to you, I told you. “Yes sir, we have gotten the woman.” You said, “Well done, congratulations! Lie low. Send one of you to come down and collect some money.” Al-Mustapha: I told you so? Rogers: You told me. I sent somebody to go and collect money. Don’t hide anything sir. You told us that we should deny it but this time around, there is nothing like denial. I want to tell you the truth. Al-Mustapha: Did I tell you to…? Rogers: Yes! You told me. You told me. That is the one for Kudirat. Then the Abraham Adesanya’s case. In Adesanya’s case, myself … SIP: (Cuts in) Just hold on. Where did he source those weapons you used for Kudirat? Rogers: He gave me from his office. The weapon was right there. He said. “Bring that bag”. I brought it and he said “Open it.” When I opened it, there were two Uzzis, specially made with fixed silencers and some ammunition inside. Luga, Luga 9mm. You now said I should bring out the Uzzi. “Have you ever seen this gun?” I said, “No sir.” I removed the magazines, uncorked it and checked it and then I dropped it. SIP: Was anyone there with you in that office? Rogers: Yes, there was Alhaji Mohammed. SIP: Mohammed what? Rogers: Mohammed Abacha Al-Mustapha: He was in the office with me there? Rogers: Yes, he was in the office when I came. SIP: So, where did you usually stay in Lagos when…? Rogers: We (stayed) in CSO’s guest house, his guest house. SIP: How do you gain entry to that guest house? Rogers: Through Major Ado. Immediately we reached there, Major Ado would be the one to accommodate us. SIP: How did you reach Abuja from Lagos on these assignments, by road or by air? Rogers: By air. He used to give us aircraft. The Assassination Attempt on Adesanya SIP: Now, about Abraham Adesanya’s case … Rogers: Adesanya’s case, we moved from here by air, myself … SIP: Did he brief you? Rogers: He briefed us. He called me to his office. I went to his office. He said Abraham Adesanya, Segun Osoba, Bola Ige. Those were our targets. So when we came here now, we look, look, look, then we got your informant. Alhaji Lateef, the one who gave us Kudirat’s… so, Alhaji Lateef took us to Adesanya’s house. When we got there, he was not around, and he took us to his office at Igbosere. At his office … that was the second coming. The first coming was with OC MOPOL. The second coming was with Aminu Mohammed and others. He was the one driving. Two of us were in the back seat. So on reaching Adesanya’s office, he was coming out from his office, he wanted to go out. Then we trailed him, we followed him. On reaching the junction which was linking Obalende, we started opening fire on him, (I) and Aminu, you know, firing at his car, directly, but the shots couldn’t get him. Then we came back and told you that it was unfortunate. You said, “Why is it so?”
SIP: Where did you source the weapon for the Adesanya assignment? Rogers: My personal weapon, Uzzi. He said we use AK47 in Kudirat’s case. No in Kudirat’s case, we used Uzzi. In Ibru’s case we used AK 47. He said, I should go with my weapon. SIP: Al-Mustapha, did you ever expect this kind of evidence against you? Al-Mustapha: First of all, I didn’t send him. SIP: Answer the question? Al-Mustapha: No, I didn’t. SIP: But you were the one giving them directives, assignments, briefings, telling them exactly what they should do and this was exactly what he had executed? Al-Mustapha: Not according to my instructions. SIP: Would he have any reason to lie against you? Why would he want to tell lies against you? Al-Mustapha: I wouldn’t know, but … SIP: There’s going to be a reason. Why would he want to lie against you when you were so nice to him? Al-Mustapha: Exactly! SIP: You’ve known Rogers for some time. Al-Mustapha: Yes. SIP: Presumably, he’s one of your trusted … Al-Mustapha: Whatever … SIP: He was not special in any way to you. Al-Mustapha: He’s just like the rest. One thing, I used to say to all of them is what he can testify … may I use the word family? SIP: Has he been in anyway different from how he used to do when you were in the villa? Al-Mustapha: To me he is not normal. SIP: Why do you think he is not normal? Al-Mustapha: Because, I expect him to say this has happened, this has happened, but now, he is playing everything backward to me. Al-Mustapha: This, to me, is very, very shocking and … Rogers: Don’t be too surprised. Al-Mustapha: I am responding to what you said. Rogers: I want you to be bold enough again to respond proper … Al-Mustapha: A gentleman should respond to what he does, a gentleman should not respond to what is a lie. I am responding and when did I tell you all this? First of all, I didn’t send them to RUTAM House. I didn’t send them to burn anybody’s property. This is certain sir. SIP: Is that all? Al-Mustapha: That’s all sir. I didn’t send them to burn RUTAM House. SIP: There are so many others involved. He is not the only one involved now. There are so many other people who were in that group that are preparing now to testify in your presence. Not only him, if you are writing him off that there is something wrong with him … Al-Mustapha: (Cuts in) No. I am not writing him off. SIP: Then something is also wrong with the others. Al-Mustapha: No. All I am saying is that I didn’t send anybody to burn RUTAM House.
SIP: So, why would he lie against you? Al-Mustapha: I don’t know sir. It’s left to him. SIP: Does it mean that he lied against you? Al-Mustapha: I don’t know. I didn’t also assign them to shoot Alex Ibru. I did not. Please I repeat, I did not. I did not know how he will now say I briefed him to go and shoot Alex Ibru. SIP: How about Segun Osoba? Al-Mustapha: I did not send them to shoot him at all.
SIP: How did they come by that and the Uzzi? Al-Mustapha: Let him come and testify. I did not give him my Uzzi to go and kill anybody. I did not. Let him come around and testify. SIP: Ado is still very much, much alive Al-Mustapha: Yes sir! Let him come. That me, I sent them, to go and kill Alex Ibru, I did not. I did not give them my arms to go and kill anybody. I did not. SIP: But you can recall that RUTAM House got burnt. Al-Mustapha: Yes sir. SIP: Where did you get the information? Al-Mustapha: I got to know later … It was first in the papers, number one, and secondly, I had to run a statement about it earlier before this sort of thing. SIP: Did you also know that Kudirat was killed? Al-Mustapha: Yes sir. SIP: Where did you hear it? Al-Mustapha: I heard it through the paper sir. SIP: Alex Ibru was shot, how did you get the information? Al-Mustapha: I heard it also through the news.
SIP: Within the period these things were happening, did you send out persons to Lagos concerning it? Al-Mustapha: I can’t recall sir. SIP: You must recall Al-Mustapha. Al-Mustapha: (Cuts in) I am telling you what I know sir. SIP: Tell us what other special assignments you sent people for in Lagos other than the monitoring of NADECO rallies. Al-Mustapha: Really, I don’t think I sent anybody I can’t recall sending any. SIP: Do you know Major Ado? Al-Mustapha: Yes sir. SIP: Where is he? Al-Mustapha: Em … in Dodan Barracks sir. SIP: Can you recall having had cause to ask Major Ado in Lagos to offer those sent on assignments any forms of assistance as regards the assignments? Al-Mustapha: I can’t recall vividly sir, but Lawal would not send any note to the Presidency sir. He will first of all go to Ado sir. SIP: What we are saying is that, can you recall asking him to give any form of assistance to persons sent on any of these assignments? Al-Mustapha: I can’t recall vividly sir. Em. Abraham Adesanya, Wole Soyinka, Chief Alani Akinrinade, Dan Suleiman … SIP: So what happened to all these people you named? Al-Mustapha: I can’t recall, but I know they all had problems. SIP: What type of problems? Al-Mustapha: I don’t know sir. SIP: But you said they had problems Al-Mustapha: They had problems with government at that time. SIP: So what was to happen to them if they had problems with government and you were in government and you were the chief security adviser to the head of state? Al-Mustapha: There is a need for me to cry in private sir. There was a time I was given a paper to make a comment. I was called CSO and the assumption of CSO for what I wrote was as if the entire security of this country was entirely in the hands of CSO. I want to make this correction sir. CSO is the chief security officer to the late head of state and members of his family. My duties were within the confines of the Presidency or wherever members of the head of state’s family goes. The other aspect of security is not mine. There are security advisers. There are agencies like NIA, DIS. Those are the ones that own the nation not me. SIP: But you sent somebody to monitor the NADECO rally? Al-Mustapha: No sir. Let’s look at it from this angle. My own is a small fraction. Like I said, the late head of state, no matter how much intelligence you put before him, once he decided on something, he would still do it. SIP: Did it disturb you that NADECO activities were conflicting with government policies? Al-Mustapha: Yes sir, we looked for peace, especially with the chair I occupied at that time. I knew if there was any crisis sir, there was no way I would survive it. SIP: So how were you to take care of that? How were you to take care of these people who were a problem to government? Al-Mustapha: No, that is out of my schedule. SIP: But you sent someone to monitor the NADECO rally? Al-Mustapha: The late head of state told me to send somebody to confirm that rally and I did. But the activities going on across the country, it was not my own. SIP: Do you know Alhaji Lateef? Al-Mustapha: I was asked and I said I didn’t know him. Probably, if I see him and I know him, I would tell you sir. SIP: You don’t know Alhaji Lateef? Al-Mustapha: I can’t recall sir. SIP: Your informant? Al-Mustapha: I don’t think so sir. It’s because too many people were bringing information. SIP: Tell us who they were. Al-Mustapha: So many people sir. SIP: You don’t know them by name? Al-Mustapha: You will discover sometime that there are too many people in the military sir. SIP: You have said that you don’t know Mohammed Katako. Al-Mustapha: I don’t know sir. SIP: Do you know Rogers Al-Mustapha: I know him sir. SIP: How did you know him? Al-Mustapha: He worked with me sir. SIP: As what? Al-Mustapha: As a member of the Strike Force, sir. SIP: What were the duties of this Strike Force? Al-Mustapha: Their own is er… immediate security of the Presidency. SIP: You used to send him out on errand? Al-Mustapha: No sir. SIP: Outside Abuja. Al-Mustapha: Maybe as a member of the team, maybe. I can’t recall vividly sir. SIP: You said, as a member of the team, tell us, what team did you ever send out that Rogers was a member? Al-Mustapha: There should be many of them. I’m telling you what I know with all respect sir.
It has nothing to do with GEJ. If GEJ did not do it, another person would it jsut so happens that the topic was up under GEJ
abeg free this your political thinking and think freely.
YOU ARE BEING VERY NAIVE AND YOU PROBABLY THINK THE NIGERIAN POLITICAL SPHERE IS ONE WHERE PEOPLE ACCEPT JUDGMENTS AND LIVE "HAPPILY EVER AFTER"LIKE IN DISNEY ANIMATIONS , I WOULD KEEP AN EYE ON THIS AL MUSTAPHA THING AND IF THIS VERDICT ISN'T OVER TURNED / THROWN OUT THEN ONE DAY WHEN THE AFTERMATH OF THIS VERDICT ERUPTS THEN I WOULD DRAW YOUR ATTENTION BACK TO THIS THREAD
UNDER ABDULSALAMI'S TENURE , THE JUDICIARY REFUSED TO PASS JUDGEMENT ON AL MUSTAPHA BECAUSE THEY WERE AFRAID OF THE BACKLASH . UNDER OBJ'S TENURE THE SAME THING HAPPENED LIKE WISE UNDER THE SHORT LIVED YARADUA'S TENURE . BUT NOW SOME PEOPLE HAVE WRONGLY ADVISED GOODLUCK TO BEAR THE BURDEN AND PASS THE JUDGEMENT THAT OTHERS HAVE ALL BEEN AFRAID OF PASSING . WHY DO YOU THINK OTHERS WERE AFRAID OF PASSING JUDGEMENT ON AL-MUSTAPHA . I'LL KEEP MY HANDS FOLDED AND SEE AS THIS PLAYS OUT.
Of course the igbos think everyone is as tribalistic as them
funny people.
If an innocent man like Mamman Varsa could be killed for not doing anything, then Al-mustapha can also be killed because he killed someone as well
He served under one of the worse rules in Nigeria under abacha.
TRUST ME THE HANGMAN WAS DIFFERENT BACK THEN . IBB KILLED VATSA .
ode remo:
whats that all about, someone put gun to your head, x region, y region, z tribe.
I believe you know the regions i am referring to but if by chance you don't then please exercise patience very soon you would know the regions as the aftermath of this judgement unfolds.
Another man's land? Did he not pay for the land? Is he not a Nigerian building on the soil of Nigeria?
BROS E BE LIKE SEY U DEY FEEL LIKE MARTIN LUTHER KING ABI ? ABEG MAKE U NO GO ABOKI MAN LAND DEY CLAIM ONE NIGERIA O!!! OR ELSE YOU WOULD BE THOUGHT A LESSON THAT YOU WOULD NEVER FORGET . I HAVE HEARD LOTS OF STORIES FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE RETURNED BACK FROM THE NORTH . GO AROUND PROBABLY TO A MOTOR PARK WERE PASSENGERS RETURNING FROM THE NORTH ALIGHT AND THEN ASK THEM HOWFAR , I AM SURE THEY WOULD ALL HAVE A THING OR 2 TO TELL YOU.
AS FOR THE SOUTH WEST , IT HAS BEEN A CONDUCIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR PEOPLE OF ALL REGION JUST LIKE THE MIDDLE BELT AND THE SOUTH EAST . HOWEVER THE NORTH HAS BEEN A HOSTILE TERRAIN EVEN BEFORE NIGERIA GOT ITS INDEPENDENCE (1945 KILLINGS)
