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.

Seems Nwude lives a quiet life these days
Is he still on funds?

dem no born efcc. they know their limits with their smelly red jackets

Traore is a big scam. only obidients are singing his praise

yes obidients were the ones who cheered him even in ghana during their own presidents inauguration

Lobola
Another tinuboo anti traore campaign yoruba and apc influencers have been focusing on traore for the last few weeks. Sensible Nigerians know Nigeria is currently under a dictator. The president's son kidnaps at will. And dss and efcc are used like Hitler secret police in this administration.
A military government has squandered 400b in rivers state in less than a year. And you want to paint traore black. Is Nigeria better at anything. Ordinary light you don't have

Jughead29:
Mbappe scoring hat trick means barca are trash team only getting advantage of Madrid poor form. 😂

Even with barca form they can't reach final 😂

You think winning Madrid can impress me?

Smaller team do win Madrid too

Go and win UEFA 😂 at least win up-to 8

Your tears are sweet
Sorry

ravensckar:
Normal normal, Ancelloti don cast. No be today. The old dude has ran outta ideas for quite some time.

If PSG catch this BARCA TEAM, dem mind no go touch ground. Nothing really special about their highline pattern.

A team with wonderful counter attack go open their yansh and give them doggie style.

Noise
Which club u dey support
Make dem come play barca
U think it's easy to defend against this team
Who has gone to inter defense this season and scored 3. Barca scored 6 in 2 matches and lost match minutes to go

Obiedun:

Naija!

I have someone in politics who told me that if you see the kind of money flying around in this Tinubu government—not just the looting, but the bribes to secure his second-term ambition—you will pity Nigeria.

I'm talking billions on a daily basis.

There is money in this country. The thing is, it’s just circulating among the elite. E no dey reach the hands of the masses.

From the information I’m getting, I’ve come to understand that if Tinubu wins his second-term bid—which is highly possible, especially now that he is in power—it is then Nigerians will understand the true meaning of suffering.

Knowing they’re on their way out, it’s now looting without pity, remorse, or any form of human consideration. All the bribes flying around must be recovered times seven, and Nigerians will be left to fight even harder for their daily bread.

As Joseph prepared, you all should also start preparing for the rainy days ahead, because the APC government is here to steal, kill, and destroy.

A word, they say, is enough for the wise.

for real APC has shown that their 2nd terms are hell on earth buhari

Redoil:
Davido and Wizkid knows the worldly songs they are singing is more of trash and will never heal a trouble mind
Moses Bliss I Hail you OOOOOOOOOOO

It's commercial music
For money
There can't be only gospel songs
You don't play gospel songs for a romantic date with your wife

Our pali is dead na
With drug lords as president and terrorist funder as vice
Don't expect to not be ransacked anywhere u go

Jungleboi:
This match showed importance of taking your chances when you the moment. Inter were dangerous attacking Barca throughout the match.They would have won if not for that close offside call . Next week will be interesting to see. I don't see Barca beating Inter at san siro

Inter scored 2 corners
Poor defending
Did not create many chances either
It's a barca game

Cr7 should just retire
Or join league 2 side to farm his 1k goals
Man retired from trophy winning long ago

Reussite:
This is too insignificant to be considered an offside. Barcelona had a huge let off here.

Dey play

otokx:
Not impressed with their approach

Defense was 0/10
All inter goals where clearable

Angelfrost:
As in... Very poor marginal call!

Fifa needs to review this bizarre offside rule.

It's pure robbery.

Same margin has been used against barca this season
But u no get data that day
