ISpiksDaTroof: All the tribes in Nigeria destroyed the country.

LMAyedun: The United States Justice Department said Thursday it had won legal control of nearly a half-billion dollars worth of corrupt gains hidden in bank accounts by former Nigerian dictator Sani Abacha.

The department said a court judgment on Wednesday gave it title to more than $480 million that Abacha, who ruled Nigeria from 1993 to 1998, and associates had embezzled and placed in accounts in Jersey, England, Ireland and France.

That took US authorities one step closer to eventually repatriating the money, only a portion of the billions allegedly stolen by Abacha, to Nigeria.

The US is still seeking control over another four Abacha-tied investment portfolios in Britain containing $148 million.

Based on the court judgement, the department will seek to have authorities in those four jurisdictions order banks to transfer the money to it, on the basis that the corrupt funds were originally moved through the US financial system.

“General Abacha and others systematically embezzled billions of dollars in public funds from the Central Bank of Nigeria on the false pretense that the funds were necessary for national security,” the justice department said.

“The conspirators withdrew the funds in cash and then moved the money overseas through US financial institutions.”

An army general deeply involved in Nigerian politics since the 1960s, Abacha ousted a transitional government in 1993 and assumed the role of head of state until he suddenly died in June 1998.

Assistant Attorney General Caldwell branded Abacha’s theft “brazen acts of kleptocracy” aided by his son Mohammed and his former associate and still-prominent politician Abubakar Atiku Bagudu.

Justice Department spokesman Peter Carr said it was not clear how long it would take to take possession of the funds and give them back to Nigeria.

“Our goal is to repatriate the recouped funds for the benefit of the Nigerian people,” he said.

WTF is there about you to hate on? there are even more sh1t to say but ill stop here. Don't make me laugh and Don't make me make you regret yourself in this forum. Ask around you don't want to start.

berem: why?

banega: Yea, in your little mind la!! Your Igbo?? •

berem: I hope ndi ofe will not see this!!

abu12: Sell land to muslim worshipper to build mosque, you will not. Ur people igbos hate other tribes and u like to stay in others land. U will surely pay for this disaster mistake u are making

0rlando0woh: I am home.
We value the lives of our fellow Igbos, that is why they are being asked to come back. What are you Yorubas doing about your brothers, Pastors and Chiefs being murdered left, right and center in the north?
You muppets have a very faulty mentality of worrying about other people's problems while leaving yours completely unattended to.

T9ksy: [s]Good thing, he didn't else the repercussion (on your kith and kins) would have been more catastrophic than what the northerners did to your people! I have always maintain that it was a good thing the old sage was in prison in 1966 as am certain those mofos who carried out the first coup in the country would have fond some silly excuse to snuff him out, too. Instead, they came up with some c/o/ck and bull story about intending to release him from prison and making him the PM. They only stopped short of implicating the old man (whom they colluded with their mallam overlord few years earlier to send to jail on trumped up charges) in their infantile game.

Btw, how did awo betrayed Ojukwu? By not sending his (yorubas) people on a suicide run for the ibos to benefit from? Awo stood by his people through thick and thin whereas that can be said of your cantankerous leader who 419ed you emotional geeks into a badly planned, organised and implemented war whilst boasting he has the best army in black africa only to abandon them to save his own neck when shiiiiit eventually hits the fan. Agbari ojukwu simply gambled with his kins' lives and lost woefully.

Ol' boy, look in the mirror as everything you and your ilk accuses the yorubas of, is inherently obtainable in your DNAs[/s].

safarigirl: oh I ain't keeping it for nobody cuz nobody's keeping shi# for me. It's just a personal decision to not f-ck around. Literally and figuratively
