ABUJA—The All Progressives Congress (APC)
yesterday, faulted what it described as a massive
campaign to stop the recovery of an estimated
N13.972 trillion allegedly squandered by the
immediate past administration.
The N13.972trn as computed by Vanguard was
the summation of funds allegedly unaccounted
for, withheld or allegedly stolen mostly from the
oil sector.
The party said in a statement, yesterday, that the
campaign to stop the recovery of the funds would
be a total disservice to probity and public
decency.
President Jonathan
The APC’s assertion was immediately rebuffed by
the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
which described the APC claim as reckless,
irresponsible and highly provocative.
The PDP said APC’s display of imaginary figures
was a desperate effort by the ruling party to
achieve a heinous agenda against the Goodluck
Jonathan administration.
The PDP also yesterday, appealed to Nigerians
and the international community to appeal to
President Muhaamdu Buhari to guard against
what the party claimed as the seeming
determination of the government to derail the
country’s democracy. Citing what it claimed was
an attempt to stifle democratic institutions, the
opposition party said that Buhari was showing
himself not to be a born again democrat as he
had earlier claimed.
The APC which described as mind-boggling, the
massive looting of the nation’s treasury by public
officials during the Jonathan administration,
vowed that nothing but the total recovery of the
funds will be acceptable to patriotic Nigerians.
The APC reaction followed commentaries at the
weekend that trailed the assertion by the National
Peace Committee for caution in the war against
graft. Besides, a member of the committee,
Bishop Matthew Kukah was also quoted last
week as calling on the administration not to
focus on a probe of the Jonathan administration.
In a statement issued in Lagos, yesterday, by its
National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai
Mohammed, the party said anyone who attempts,
either by deeds or words, to sabotage the
recovery efforts is not a patriot and deserves
nothing but public opprobrium.
Narrating some of the funds allegedly stolen or
unaccounted for during the Jonathan
administration, the APC said:
*3.8 trillion Naira out of the 8.1 trillion Naira
earned from crude oil (2012-2015) withheld by
NNPC
*2.1 billion US dollars (N413.7 billion) from
Excess Crude Account unaccounted for
*Department of Petroleum Resources’ unremitted
109.7 billion Naira royalty from oil firms
*6 billion US dollars (N1.182 trillion) allegedly
looted by some ministers of the last
administration
*160 billion barrels of crude worth 13.9 billion US
dollars (N2.7383) lost between 2009 and 2012
*15 million US dollars (N2.955 trillion) from
botched arms deal yet to be returned to Nigeria
*13 billion US dollars (N2.561 trillion) in NLNG
dividends mostly unaccounted for
*30 billion Naira rice waiver
*183 billion naira unaccounted for at the NDDC
Tip of the iceberg
Remarkably, the APC said the above listed
‘missing’ funds constituted just a tip of the
iceberg since they are mostly from a few sectors
of the economy, mostly the oil sector, and were
discovered even before the forensic audit now
being undertaken in some key areas.
Saying that the present administration cannot
turn a blind eye to such, the APC said: “It is
absolutely gratifying that Nigerians are
vehemently opposed to the few who would rather
have the government of the day turn a blind eye
to the looted funds and, in their words, carry on
with the process of governance.
“Truly, what sort of governance can go on if the
billions of Naira in a few hands are not
recovered? In the first instance, the government
needs every kobo of the funds it can muster to
bring about the change it has promised Nigerians.
Secondly, leaving such hair-raising funds in the
hands of the few looters is dangerous, because
they can use the funds to destabilize any
government. In fact, no one will be surprised if
the looters use their dirty funds to sponsor public
demonstrations against the government’s
determination to recover the funds.
“Thirdly, allowing those who privatized the
commonwealth to get away is offering a thumbs-
up for looting. No responsible government will do
that,” APC said.
The party said that already, the looters have
embarked on a relentless and an increasingly-
bold campaign to discredit the government of the
day and sabotage the funds’ recovery process,
using newspaper columnists, ‘talking heads’ and
otherwise respectable opinion leaders.
“They and their paid hirelings have tried to employ
sophistry to muddle the waters, but Nigerians are
much wiser, and will not succumb to the dirty
antics of the looters’ megaphones,” it said.
APC said it is necessary to remind Nigerians of
the kind of massive looting of the treasury that
took place in the past few years, so they can
better appreciate the seriousness of the issue at
stake. It, therefore, listed some instances of the
looting as follows: “The level of looting that went
on in other sectors is better imagined, hence the
need for all Nigerians to rally around the Buhari
Administration to recover the loots, bring the
looters to justice and to put in place measures to
prevent such looting in the future,” it said.
It’s all lies — PDP
In its response yesterday, the PDP National
Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, described
the claims by the APC as a desperate attempt by
the APC to get public approval.
The PDP said: “In trying to escalate their stock-
in-trade of lies, wild allegations and falsehood,
the APC failed to understand that their baseless
fabrications are capable of throwing an
unsuspecting nation into chaos.
“The spate of fabrications by Lai Mohammed has
become a sickening source of worry for well-
meaning Nigerians, including those in his party.”
The PDP, therefore, called on President Buhari and
the APC as a party, to call their spokesman to
order before “he plunges the country into crisis
with wild and unsubstantiated claims.”
The PDP said instead of engaging in unnecessary
playing to the gallery, the APC-led government
should get serious with the fight against
corruption by investigating and prosecuting
corrupt persons, while moving on with the
demands of governance, especially in fulfilling
their numerous campaign promises for which they
were voted into office at the centre.
The PDP in another statement accused the APC-
led government of aiming to undermine the
critical democratic institutions and notably, the
Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC
which it said had now been laid constitutionally
prostrate on account of lack of a quorum.
Metuh said despite claims of being a converted
democrat,n President Buhari has allowed, under
his watch, an incessant violation of sections of
the nation’s constitution, a development that has
become a huge threat to democracy and the
stability of the nation.
“For instance, how can this government explain
the fact that a major institution of democracy like
the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) has been deliberately debilitated to the
extent that it can no longer perform its statutory
responsibility for lack of quorum?
“Nigerians are aware that before his tenure
expired on June 30, the former INEC Chairman,
Prof. Attahiru Jega wrote to President Buhari,
intimating him of the fact that the tenure of
majority of the national commissioners will expire
before August, yet the President never acted,
resulting in the present crisis in the commission,
where more than 80% out of the statutory 13
members remain vacant, even as 11 states of the
federation are also without Resident Electoral
Commissioners.
“We note that this anomaly is in addition to the
uncertainty surrounding the controversial
appointment of an Acting Chairman of INEC in the
person of a national commissioner whose tenure
has since expired, not minding that there is no
provision for an acting chairman of INEC in our
constitution.
“This development has completely enervated the
commission from carrying out its functions as
stipulated in part 1 of 3rd schedule of the 1999
constitution as amended, thereby putting our
electoral system under severe threat.
“We ask, if not for a possibility of an ulterior
motive to inject a constitutional crisis and
undermine the nation’s democracy, why should
President Buhari wait to be urged before he
upholds his responsibility of forwarding
replacements to the Senate for confirmation so as
to enable the commission effectively carry out its
constitutional responsibilities to the nation? ”
“Could this be a ploy by the APC-led government
to use a decapitated INEC to conduct the
forthcoming governorship elections in Kogi and
Bayelsa to pave way for their planned ‘capture’ of
the two PDP states?
“Is the weakening of INEC not part of the plot to
use the commission to put the PDP in precarious
position in various electoral tribunals to the
advantage of the APC?
The PDP also faulted the administration’s failure
to constitute a cabinet and what it cited as the
repeated attacks on the “revered national
leaders in the National Peace Committee, which
has as members, former Head of State, Gen.
Abdulsalami Abubakar, the Sultan of Sokoto, His
Eminence, Alhaji Sa’ad Abubakar, respected
clerics; Archbishop John
Onaiyekan and Bishop Matthew Hassan Kuka,
retired justices of superior records as well as
others highly respected patriotic Nigerians, for
daring to counsel Buhari’s government on some
observed undemocratic tendencies and processes.
“The crass attacks are more astonishing,
considering the much appreciated role these great
Nigerians played in ensuring a peaceful and
violence free 2015 general elections.
“This is especially as we have no reason to
believe that such weighty attacks from the
President’s party can come without his approval,
more so as the APC spokesman, Alhaji Lai
Mohammed, who authored the statements was
not part of the meeting between the President
and the Peace Committee.
Noting that the party is not against the anti-graft
war, the party called on its former members now
in the APC who were groomed in democratic
ethos while in the PDP to nudge their new party
towards good manners.
“We call on some well-meaning Nigerians who
have found themselves in the APC, especially,
those who at one time or the other, were pupils
of the teachings and visions of the founding
fathers of the
PDP, to rise above the shallowness of their
temporary enclave and join in this major defence
of democratic ethos”.

This is unbelievable and yet real, why wouldn’t all
these oyinbo people leave us Africans alone.
According to a publication of the Moscow
Faculty of Sciences , researchers have developed
a chemical process to « whiten » quickly a
person’s skin.
With a mixture that includes oxytane and
benzodiazepine. It would suffice to stay for 6
hours in a bath consisting of 50grams per liter of
water.
Then the skin peels off naturally. This is in fact
the upper skin layer responsible for the color that
can be removed.
The laboratory at the origin of the discovery has
already announced 254 people have been treated
by this method. The Russian government may
soon allow the reimbursement of this treatment.
According to Russian authorities, is an high value
for thousands of immigrants who may feel more
integrated in Russia once their color matches the
one of the premises.
A strong point of view decried by the associations
of human rights.
Vladimir Putin’s country use all the means at its
disposal, even science, to guide his company
towards a vision considered ideal.
Why can’t we be proud of who we are for God’s
sake?? black make una de run from white cos

Joshua intends to start a mew business, Ada
wants to write a book and Bayo is good at music
and wants to become a professional musician.
They have many ideas running through their
minds about these things they want to do. John
has a lot of business ideas, Ada has ideas of
different plot lines for her book and Bayo has a lot
of good tunes in mind. But they all have a
common problem – how will they bring these
ideas to reality?
Ideas are great but unless something is done with
them, they remain worthless.
In this post, I will try to suggest ways to go about
bringing your ideas to reality. The points are not
exhaustive because I intend to make it brief. The
following are four ways to turn your ideas into
reality:
1. Get organised.
Scott Belsky in his book on this subject states
that a surplus of ideas is as dangerous as a lack
of it. The tendency to jump from one idea to
another drains your energy and you struggle to
make progress. Without some structure, you can
become an addict of the brain-spinning
indulgence of idea generation.
Let’s consider two individuals, Tunde and Ahmed.
Tunde has a lot of ideas but is so disorganized
that no particular idea is fully realised while
Ahmed with half the creativity and just a little
more organisational ability makes more progress
in implementing his ideas.
So we can see that someone with average
creativity but good organisation skill will make a
greater impact than the disorganised creative
geniuses among us. This is why some ‘less
creative’ artists might produce more work than
their talented inventive counterparts.
You could boast and say ‘I’ve got a lot of good
ideas!’ but it’s of no use if you never turn any of
them into reality. Remember, people cannot see
into your brain to know what great ideas you
have in there (at least not yet, I haven’t heard of
any device that can do that or have you?)
Therefore no matter the number of fantastic ideas
you have running through your brain, you need to
prioritize and focus on one or find a way to
channel all of them in one direction(if possible) in
order to get something out of those ideas. This
will require some discipline.
2. Motivate yourself.
The world can sometimes be a cruel place and
doing the unfamiliar brings you face to face with
resistance.
In the words of Scott Belsky, society is a bit
hypocritical. The mainstream shuns creative
people especially when they defy the status quo.
Dropping out of school or choosing an alternative
career is frowned upon but at the same time we
celebrate the successes of artists and
entrepreneurs who took that path and have
enriched various aspects of our lives. Society thus
celebrates the outcome of what it frowns at. So
you see that you may not get all the support you
need from people around you and God help you if
your idea is not what people are used to.
Hence you will have to learn to maintain your
confidence when doubted. This means you need
to believe in the success of the idea you are
pursuing even amidst contrary opinions.
Remember, there will always be naysayers.
3. Take the bold step.
Stepping out into the unknown can be scary. We
all experience that inertia and that is why most
ideas die before they come into reality.
But sometimes you just need to step out and you
will be surprised at how things will fall in place.
Some years back, my friends and I had an idea
about hosting an academic program for kids. We
were still in the university at that time and we did
not have enough money for the project. We
needed to involve some VIPs and that would cost
money. The odds were really against us but we
stepped out anyway.
In the end, we were able to raise the amount we
needed for the project. How did we do it? We
were simply passionate about what we wanted to
do and were able to sell our idea to those who
eventually supported us even though they had not
seen such a program before.
That made me realise that anything is possible
and sometimes you just have to step out and
begin to pursue whatever you have in mind even
against the odds.
Let’s say you want to write a book and ideas
have been coming to you. But because you don’t
see the possibility of publishing the book due to
lack of finance or other constraints, you have
decided to neglect those ideas. Don’t do that
anymore. Start writing the manuscript of that
book and put your best into it. You may be
surprised that someone will like your work and
offer to help you publish it. Even if nobody
recognizes you immediately, keep writing and one
day, the breakthrough will come for you.
Same goes for any venture you want to go into.
Start small and watch it grow into something big.
One problem we have is that we see people who
have built large business empires and celebrities
who are excelling in their careers and tend to get
discouraged. But the fact is, they did not just get
there overnight. It took years of working on their
ideas until they became reality.
4. Involve other people.
Sometimes you get more out if your ideas when
you involve others. The idea of hosting a program
for kids that I mentioned earlier was actually
brought up by one of us and we all joined hands
to make it work. The idea would have died if my
friend insisted on doing it alone because it would
have been extremely difficult for him to do it all
by himself.
Nothing will assist your idea more than a team of
people who possess real positive initiative.
The humbling truth is that ideas don’t always
happen through solitary ingenuity. Other people
always play a role in pushing your ideas forward
through their valuable suggestions. Your idea
could gain a new dimension for good when others
get involved.
Involving others make you accountable for being
productive and following through with your
project. If you work in isolation, your ideas come
and go without accountability and stimulation
from others.
Partnership helps you capitalize on feedback and
it also helps you share the burden of executing
the project.
However, partnerships must be carefully formed
to avoid engaging the wrong people in your
project. That would obviously be
counterproductive. Don’t involve just any kind of
person in your project. Some people will end up
killing your idea
As I conclude, let me say a few things worthy of
note.
As you pursue your idea, don’t get caught up in
the novelty of what you are doing that you loose
touch with what has already been done before.
Note that not much is entirely new and you can
learn from the past. As you encounter things
during the the execution of your idea, know that
the situation you face isn’t as isolated and unique
as you think. You can tap into previous
knowledge which is usually risk-free and time-
tested.
As you harness lessons from the past, you must
also question them not in a bid to discard them
but to avoid being imprisoned by the status quo.
While it is certainly good to find and follow time-
tested methods as you pursue your projects, it is
dangerous to passively accept advice. Hence,
rather than carrying on with the way things have
always been done, recognize that anything can be
done better.
