If a trader has been profitable for 3 years consecutively, do you think your 2-5k will entice such an individual to partner with you? It's just like looking for a virgin in a wh.ore house.

... inspects hotel, convention centre

Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has reassured on his administration's commitment to revamping the moribund Ibom Tropicana Entertainment complex, by re-constructing the Ibom International Convention Centre and Hotel in furtherance of the tourism drive of the ARISE Agenda.

Briefing Government House Correspondents after an unscheduled inspection of the facilities, Governor Eno remarked that the facilities cannot continue to lie waste considering the volume of funds already sunk into the projects by previous administration.

"You need to know how much we have sunk into these projects. And, you need to know how much of Akwa Ibom money is invested here. Akwa Ibom State is fast becoming a tourist destination. So, we need to tidy up these projects to effectively build up our digital economy.

"If our focus is on building a world class economy in terms of diversification, we can't do without an International Conference Centre like this which sits about 5,000 people at a go, and also boasts of breakout rooms.

"We also have this hotel with about 200 rooms tied up to the International Convention Centre. This place also has a shopping city as well as a theme park which we are about to go into a Public Private Partnership arrangement."

Governor Eno said the unscheduled inspection of the facilities was to bring out the best in terms of appropriate interactions with the workers, observance of the quality of work done, timely completion of the project and execution according to specifications.

"What motivates me in all these inspections is the amount of money put in these projects. We are elected to serve the people; and, you put your mind where your money is. So, we have to restart this construction, and I love unscheduled inspection to see what is happening and ascertain if the workers are on site.

"It is not just enough to give a contract. There is a schedule –a timeline. We need to visit sites to know if the timeline is realistic or do we have any challenge anywhere? So, when you come to the site, you are able to deal with the issues right there and then," he explained.

Speaking further, he said "For me, I was taught way back in my business school class that, in Africa, you get what you inspect, you don't get what you expect. So, that principle helps me a lot.

"Besides, we are officially flagging off these projects next week, and I needed to see and know what is on ground to be able to say exactly as it is without any contradictions after the flag off. And, the best way to inspect this work is to do it unscheduled," he explained.

He should've stayed in Guinea....the minute he began using that passport his prints triggered interpol red notice already filed against him, even though the names were different

He could have lived in those West African countries forever, so long as he avoided biometrics while moving between countries. He's not so smart afterall

Gen Z in the house, gather around the table let me regale you with tales of the most prolific Nigerian fraudster, Fred Ajudua.

See kids, before yahoo, there was yahoo. Fred was and still remains a legend in this regard. The kind of heist he and his men pulled is so phenomenal. Fred put the ya in yahoo. Imagine that they locked him up in prison and right there in prison, he scammed one of the most brutal army generals Nigeria has ever had. General Bamaiyi. A prisoner scamming another prisoner. Fred scammed Bamaiyi of 8.4 million dollars right there in prison!

Fred is extremely smart and suave. He has the gift of garb. That's why Emmanuel Nwude, another big time fraudster and a former executive director of Union Bank, sought his services. Together, the sold a non existent airport to a Brazilian bank for 242 million dollars over 22 years ago. This was done using just a fax machine. No internet, no mobile phones outside thuraya satellite phone, were in existence then.

Oh! A movie has to be made of this. Fred and Nwude were very elaborate. They invited the Brazilians to London, lodged them in the best hotels, hired limousines to chauffeur them around town, took them to the best clubs and spent money like nothing. That wasn't all.

They invited the Brazilians to Nigeria. Right from the Lagos airport, Fred and Nwude paid just about every person that the Brazilians would come in contact with at the airport. They even hired people to be around the airport to greet Fred and Nwude as extremely wealthy guys. It didn't end there.

NNPC headquarters in Lagos then, was another staging area they used. Nwude, had the Brazilians follow him to the very top floor of the building. He took them to the NNPC boardroom. Paid NNPC staff and hired actors all around the building were greeting Nwude like a boss. The air of confidence Nwude walked into the towers with and the way the paid staff and hired actors showed respect to Nwude, further lulled the Brazilians.

It was right in that NNPC that the Brazilians, thinking they were signing a deal of a lifetime, agreed to transfer 242 million dollars to an escrow account Nwude provided.

Mind you as at then, no Nigerian bank had a capitalisation of 100 million dollars. So that was enough money to bounce the bank.

The Brazilians, excited, went back to their country. When the call to inspect the non existent airport they bought was not forthcoming, that's when they got apprehensive and got the authorities involved.

This singular scam that Fred and Nwude pulled, is the reason why we have EFCC today. Even Obasanjo as president then, could not comprehend this kind of criminality.

Fred never stopped scamming. He enjoys it and does so for fun. He later went on to become a member of the house of reps before his criminal nature caught up with him and he got sent to prison in Nigeria. His son, used to be Davido's lawyer until Davido dropped him.

What about the Brazilian bank he scammed? Well, the bank collapsed and some of its executives commited suicide. Not a kobo of that money was recovered.
