Whatever make you sleep well at night.

Just so you know ... Iranian's are actually the smartest migrants in the US, then the Chinese.

Any evidence to back up this assertion?

There's evidence to suggest that igbos outperform the Chinese in the UK.

Until the bad belle author of that crap article is able to present people from his tribe or from any other Nigerian tribe for that matter who have achieved the feats achieved by the Igbo geniuses attached below, he is displaying symptoms of inferiority.

All men are equal, na for mouth e end otherwise some people won't be needing a cut off mark of 2/200 ie 1% to get into the same school others need to score 139/200 ie 70%.

Citizens don't pay for their drugs, it's free for them.
So if one pays £8.60.for drugs. It's not free then. This buttresses my claim that the surcharge is for consultation and maybe emergency.

Dude everyone pays for NHS prescription except you are on admission in hospital. If the GP prescribes a medication for you and you go to pick it up at the pharmacy, you pay £8.60 per item except for a few who are exempted like children and those on benefits.

BigIyanga:
See how u tactically avoided GDP comparison between state of Georgia with Anambra. Georgia gdp is about $500bn with 11m people while Anambra has less than $7bn with less than 5m people. Notice that there is only one intl aiport listed in your post. That aiport serves as cargo and passenger hub, but Anambra wants to build only cargo for N800bn when Benue is building one at N38bn...

The Anambra project is an aerotropolis and not just the airport.

pokipoki:
The surcharge covers for emergency and consultation. You pay for your drugs.

Not true. You only pay the £8.60 prescription cost which every other person pays.

Is it this Buhari that you are propping up for 2019 election or there's another Buhari?

I wish you well in your journey.

NgeneUkwenu:
As you can see, the next presidential election is just some few months away, and it is becoming clearer, that the incumbent president...Buhari is going to be re-elected unopposed, going by the inactivity on the part of the supposed opposition elements.

In any democratic settings, those who choose to vie for the highest offices, always show their hands early especially when you are contesting against an incumbent.
Take for example, as early as 2012, political watchers had already known, that Buhari was going to contest against Jonathan. Again Trump started campaigning for the office of the POTUS as soon as , Obama was sworn in for the Second Tenure, and so many other examples..

But back here, it seems Nigerians in Unison have decided, to back Buhari for the 2nd Term, in the interest of Justice, Stabillty and Fair play, aside the giant strides he has accomplished within 2 Years in office.



Please drop your picks with reasons..

Which Buhari?

Is it this one or there is another?

Read the post again! She died of complications. It's not only the ruptured appendix that was involved, other things were involved as well.

She probably went into septic shock.

Medicals not free for non citizens. Student inclusive!!!

This is not true. Students on a course longer than 6 months are entitled to NHS services free at the point of care. However, they've recently in the last couple of years introduced the NHS surcharge where students and other temporary resident permit holders pay £200 per year at the point of visa application.

I don't know what to say about PMB, he is more fresher before becoming a president than he is now. he looks very scary.

In saner climes, Magu should be jobless by Tuesday.

The $43,449,947, £27,800 and N23,218,000 recovered by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) from an Ikoyi apartment in Lagos was a discreet allocation released to the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) for major but covert security projects, PREMIUM TIMES has learnt.
The total value of the money at the Central Bank of Nigeria official exchange rate is over N13 billion.
Presidency and security sources told this newspaper on Friday that former President Goodluck Jonathan approved the funds for the 30-year old secret service agency after its immediate past Director General, Olaniyi Oladeji, alerted him to the need for some “crucial and covert security projects”.
The funds were later released in cash directly from the Central Bank of Nigeria as a way of making its spending completely secret, this newspaper was told.
“The projects are scattered across the country, but there is a major one in Lagos being funded with the cash warehoused in the Ikoyi building,” one source said. “The spending on the projects cannot be subjected to the usual expenditure process, and that is why the funds are held in cash. If you like, you can call it illegal projects in the national interest.”
Our sources said only relevant top government officials and of the NIA are aware of the projects.
One official said when the incumbent Director General of the NIA, Ayodele Oke, was alerted that EFCC operatives had swooped on the apartment, being discreetly guarded by covert operatives, he rushed to the anti-graft agency’s headquarters in Abuja to advise its chairman, Ibrahim Magu, to withdraw his men as the funds belonged to government.
At the time, about 13 police officers and some soldiers, accompanied by photographers and videographers, had broken into the apartment, and were already dismantling the safes in which the funds were concealed, our sources said.

Mr. Magu however declined Mr. Oke’s request. Instead, he directed his men to proceed with the operation. those familiar with the matter said.
A frustrated Mr. Oke was said to have rushed to the National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno, and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to complain about Mr. Magu’s attitude, and the huge embarrassment he had caused his otherwise extremely quiet and secretive agency.
On Thursday, presidency sources said, Mr Oke met President Muhammadu Buhari in company with Attorney General Abubakar Malami to table the same complaints.
Those who saw the NIA DG before he was called in to see the president said he had two bulky envelopes believed to contain paper and audio-visual records of the security projects.
Officials said President Buhari has since directed Mr. Magu to forward to him detailed report on the operation. The EFCC boss was also directed to immediately deposit the funds with the CBN.
On his part, Mr. Oke was asked to properly document his complaints against Mr. Magu, and then reapply for the seized funds, our sources said.
A top presidency source said the President might ask Attorney General Malami to review reports submitted by the two officials, and then forward appropriate recommendations.
When contacted Friday, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, said, “It’s a security issue, and not strictly a presidency issue.”
He directed further enquiries on the matter to the security agencies involved.
Mr. Oke of the NIA confirmed to PREMIUM TIMES that the money belongs to his agency, but declined further comments when asked what the funds were meant for.
“You don’t expect me to tell you that,” he said.
Contacted Friday, the spokesperson for the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, said he had not been briefed on the matter.
Attorney General Malami initially did not answer or return calls. But he later said his presence at the meeting Mr. Oke had with the president was coincidental.
“It was nothing planned,” Mr. Malami said. “I had a lot to do at the villa, and coincidentally he (Mr. Oke) too was there. I initially did not know why he was there until much later.”
The Attorney General said he had not been formally briefed to take any action on the matter.
The EFCC had on Wednesday recovered the huge cash from an Osborne Street, Ikoyi apartment in Lagos, believing it was looted.
The anti-graft agency said it acted following a tip from a whistle-blower.

In a ruling on Thursday, Justice Muslim Hassan ordered a temporary forfeiture of the money to the government.
He adjourned further proceedings to May 5 for anyone interested or wishing to claim the money or make a case why it should not be permanently forfeited to government.

If you know that I can feed your family forever, you won't be that dumb

If you meet me face to face, you'd prostrate with your entire family to greet me.

JayJohnson:
It is such q pity! People just come here to display their stvpidity! Did anybody tel you it was locked? Besides have you ever heard of Master key?

Primary school pupils have invaded Nairaland

OAUTemitayo:
Ignorance and intellectual indolence is your problem.
So if gateman saw people moving huge amounts of cash into a building and alerts the EFCC, he will also automatically know the real owner?
I shake yansh for your mumurity

And they carried the money with their bare hands for gate man to see and know it's money?

OAUTemitayo:
Sit down there.

OK sir.

Horus:
Maybe the owner was not expecting a "visit" from the EFCC and left the key on the safe thinking that nobody will enter the house

So you can take such amount of money to an unoccupied house, put them in a safe and leave the keys there? Smh

Horus:
Maybe the owner was not expecting a "visit" from the EFCC and left the key on the safe thinking that nobody will enter the house

Lol smh

OAUTemitayo:
You should ask yourself why assasins and thieves open locks of VIPs when they want to rob them.

They either break in or use other techiques to disable the lock. They do not open them with keys unless they have/had access to the original or the code to replicate the key.

ODAROOMS:
Don't mind the guy
He has forgotten this guy's are professionals that have all necessary tools and are
Licensed to carry out their duties through any possible means legally!

Dude, put your glasses on and look at the picture again. The drawer has got a key (circled in red) in it meaning they opened it with the key. How did they get the key? Don't tell me 'master key' because I believe you are smarter than that.

OAUTemitayo:
So you think EFCC will find it difficult to open this type of safes?
Ordinary assassins sabi open any door talkless of a top and government institution like EFCC.

Did you look at the picture at all? How did they get the key circled in red.

This guy's must really think Nigerians are fools. How did they get the key? Did the owner leave the key on the safe, did the whistle blower also hand them over the key or they collected it from the owner in which case they should come clean and tell us who the owner is.

Any whistle this one blows would lead EFCC to the secret vaults in the underground bunker of the ineffectual buffoon.

Who owns the Ikoyi loot?

olapluto:
I remember the period of last election when PDP and desperate GEJ were just using fake websites to peddle fake news around. One such website is this TheWill Nigeria. The reporter says he is based in Beverly Hills, and has just conjured some baseless news from 'sources'.

Adamu Muazu has confessed to owning the apartments. Very soon, the lady will own up too. Ifeanyi Ubah is already with the DSS, and I remember him boasting before that he could singlehandedly bring the Naira down to 100 naira to a dollar. The reason he was boasting like that then is now getting clearer. If he could give out 50m USD, then he can surely flood Nigeria with dollars and smash the BDCs speculations.

For saying Ifeanyi Uba is with DSS, a lie that was debunked same day BMC put it out, you are the one peddling fake news.

More Twists In The $43m+ Seized By EFCC As National Intelligence Agency (NIA) Claims Ownership – Source
By THEWILL - April 13, 2017


NIA DG, Ambassador Ayodele Oke.


BEVERLY HILLS, April 13, (THEWILL) – The National Intelligence Agency (NIA) is claiming ownership of the $43,449,947, £27,800 and N23, 218,000 seized Wednesday by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission from Osborne Towers, a luxury residential complex in Ikoyi, Lagos, owned by Mr. Adamu Muazu, a former governor of Bauchi state and ex-National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), THEWILL has gathered exclusively.

The NIA is the government security agency tasked with overseeing foreign intelligence and counterintelligence operations in Nigeria.

A ranking government official with knowledge of the latest twist to the seizure confirmed to THEWILL that NIA Director General, Ambassador Ayodele Oke, has been in touch in EFCC’s boss, Ibrahim Magu, to express his displeasure over the raid at the apartment used as one of NIA’s safe houses in Lagos for its clandestine operations.

The official said Magu, whose confirmation as substantive chairman of the agency has been frustrated by the DSS and the Senate, has been under pressure to show President Muhammadu Buhari the billions of naira he told the president during a meeting that the EFCC had recovered under his leadership. “So he is on a reckless search for monies hence all these strings of raids and seizures within the last one week,” the source who asked not be identified said.

“I can authoritatively tell you that money belongs to the NIA. The DG has come forward to claim it and has informed my office of the development. He is furious with Magu for his agency’s recklessness and for compromising their operations,” the official told THEWILL.

Meanwhile, Justice Muslim Hassan of a Federal High Court in Lagos Thursday ordered the temporary forfeiture of the cash and ordered that the funds be temporarily forfeited to the Federal Government and adjourned till May 5, 2017, for anyone interested in the funds to show up before him to show cause why the money should not be permanently forfeited to the Federal Government.

THEWILL had previously linked Mrs. Esther Nnamdi-Ogbue, a former Managing Director, Retail, at the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), to the haul found in an apartment on the 7th floor. She denied ownership of the cash in a statement by her attorney Thursday though admitted residing on the second floor.

This is a developing story….

Lalasticlala, Trump means business.

The US has dropped the "mother of all bombs" - the largest non-nuclear weapon ever used in combat by the US military - on an area of eastern Afghanistan known to be populated by Isis-affiliated militants.

The Pentagon said the strike was the first time the 21,000lb weapon had been used in combat operations.

A spokesperson for the US Department of Defence confirmed to The Independent that a MC-130 aircraft dropped a GBU-43 bomb at 7pm local time.



The weapon is known in the US Air Force by its nickname MOAB, or "mother of all bombs". MOAB stands for massive ordinance air blast.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer said the US had used a “large, powerful and accurately-delivered weapon” to disrupt the movements of militants in the country.

Pentagon spokesman Adam Stump said the bomb was dropped on a cave complex believed to be used by fighters affiliated to Isis in the Achin district of Nangarhar, close to the border with Pakistan.

The Pentagon said the mission had been in the planning stages for months. However, they "did not have the information" on whether the mission was being planned during the previous Obama administration.

“This is the right munition to reduce these obstacles and maintain the momentum of our offensive against Isis,” General John Nicholson, the head of US and international forces in Afghanistan, said in a statement.

Though the Pentagon confirmed to The Independent that the "signoff" went up to General Joseph Votel, commander of US Central Command, they could not say whether the order went all the way up to the White House.

A source said Donald Trump may have authorised the use of the bomb but he does not have to. There has been no official confirmation of the President’s involvement in the strike.

Central Command approval was required because the MOAB had to be moved across theatres to prepare for the mission.

Mr Spicer avoided answering any questions on whether Mr Trump was involved in the bombing, instead deferring to the Department of Defence.

The cargo aircraft used to drop the bomb was already located in Afghanistan prior to the mission.

There have been no assessments of civilian deaths as yet and it was not immediately clear how much damage the bomb did.

The 'mother of all bombs' was developed and tested shortly before the 2003 Iraq war.

Retired Lt. Col. Rick Francona told CNN the blast would “feel like a nuclear weapon to anyone near the area".
