Politics / EFCC Detains Ekweremadu Over 22 Properties by theemy(m): 8:53am On Aug 01, 2018
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has detained Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, for alleged fraud and failing to explain how he came to own 22 properties in Nigeria, the United States, the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates.

It was learnt that Ekweremadu honoured the invitation of the EFCC around 9 am on Tuesday but was still in custody as of 9 pm.
A top source at the EFCC told our correspondent that the lawmaker had many questions to answer.

“He came in around 9 am and he is still in our custody. He will be released once we have enough information,” the source said.

When contacted around 9 pm, the Spokesman for the EFCC, Mr Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed that Ekweremadu honoured the commission’s invitation on Tuesday. He, however, could not say if the senator was still in custody as of the time of filing this report by 9.30pm.

It was learnt that the Deputy Senate President was under investigation for allegedly owning about 22 properties some of which he failed to declare in his Asset Declaration Form at the Code of Conduct Bureau.

The Federal Government had in March sought an interim order of the Federal High Court, Abuja, to temporarily seize 22 prime properties/assets of Ekweremadu located in London, Dubai, Florida, and Abuja, that were not declared before the CCB.

The motion ex-parte filed by Festus Keyamo (SAN) on behalf of the Special Presidential Investigation Panel for the Recovery of Public Property was brought before the court pursuant to Section 330 of The Administration Of Criminal Justice Act, 2015; Section 8 Of The Recovery Of Public Property (Special Provisions) Act and Section 44 (2)(K) of the 1999 Constitution.

In an affidavit deposed to in support of the motion ex-parte by Yohanna Shankuk, a litigation clerk in Festus Keyamo Chambers, he stated that from 1999 till date, Ekweremadu had been a public officer and had not earned anything outside his salaries and allowances as a public officer.

He, therefore, wondered where the lawmaker got the money to acquire such properties.
The undeclared assets were identified as: 11 Evans Enwerem Street, Apo Legislative Quarters, Apo, Abuja; Plot 2633 Kyami, Abuja; Housing Estate; Plot 1106 CRD, Cadastral Zone 07-07, Lugbe, Abuja; Plot 2782, Asokoro Extension, Abuja; houses at Citi Park Estate, Gwagwalada, Abuja and Plot 1474, Cadastral Zone BD6, Mabushi, Abuja.

Other properties allegedly undeclared by the senator include Congress Court, Abuja; Flat 1, Block D25, Athletics Street, (24th Street), Games Village, Abuja; and Plot 66, 64 Crescent, Gwarimpa Estate, Abuja.

Properties allegedly owned by Ekweremadu abroad include: Flat 4, Varsity Court, Harmer Street, WIH 4NW, London; 52, Ayleston Avenue, NW6 7AB, London; Room 1903, The Address Hotel, Downtown Dubai; The Address Boulevard, 3901, Dubai; two Flats of Burij Side Boulevard (the signature), Dubai and Emirate Gardens Apartment No. EGG1/1/114, Dubai.

Others are Emirate Gardens Apartment No. EGG1/115, Dubai; apartment DFB/12/B 1204, Park Towers, Dubai; Flat 3604, MAG214, Dubai; Villa No 148, Maeen 1, The Lakes Emirates Hills, Dubai; 4507 Stella Street, Bellavida Estate Kissime, Florida, United States; 2747 Club Cortile Circle, Kissime, Florida, US and 2763 Club Cortile Circle, Kissime, Florida, US.

However, the Peoples Democratic Party had decried the alleged harassment of Ekweremadu, opposition leaders, and voices of dissent, by the Federal Government.


The party accused the government of misusing the anti-graft and security agencies close to the 2019 general elections, stressing that such posed a grave threat to the nation’s democracy.

Reacting to what it described as Senator Ekweremadu’s witch-hunt by the EFCC on Tuesday, the party called on the international community to rein in the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration before it became too late.


In a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Mr Kola Ologbodiyan, in Abuja on Tuesday, the party said, “Just a few days after the EFCC and over 200 policemen practically held Senator Ekweremadu hostage to prevent the defection of the All Progressives Congress senators to the PDP, the EFCC has continued to harass Senator Ike Ekweremadu to cover its shame.

“We wish to remind Nigerians and the international community that this is only the newest in the series of attempts to destroy the senator politically in the run-up to the 2019 general elections.

It is of grave concern to us that while corruption and corrupt persons abound in the APC, the EFCC prefers to chase after innocent members of the opposition.

“While the likes of Babachir Lawal, Abba Kyari, Ayo Oke, Kemi Adeosun, Abdulrasheed Maina and his accomplices, Okoi Obono-Obla, and scores of others in the ruling APC, with corruption and fraud-related charges, walk free, the anti-graft agencies have continued in its reckless desperation to harass and dent leaders of the opposition in the name of an anti-corruption war that Nigerians and the world have come to see for what it is- persecution of the opposition.
“We warn the Buhari-led administration to desist from this act of highhandedness and witch-hunt of the opposition so as not to torpedo our democracy.

“The panicky APC government cannot be allowed to destroy opposition leaders just a few months to the general elections in the name of fighting corruption.”

Education / Re: Nigerian Man Breaks Record In Maths.see What He Did(photo) by theemy(m): 10:30pm On Jul 28, 2018
MythAngel:


The Mathematical reasoning is flawed ...
Firstly there is nothing like 0/0 because even the idea 0 is systematically a representation of 0/1 .. because X/0 is undefined.

Also mathematical law says wherever you do at the top you must replicate it at the button... Hence you can't factorise the numerator and the follow another route for the denominator...
Or why did you square both ends? If not that you following this simple rule of generalisation.

Hence the idea of saying 100²/100² could be re-written as 100/1/100/1 which in reality means 100*1/100*1 ... Again the invisible 1 is showing ... This proves that the person who did this rhetoric maths is just preying on the limited knowledge of maths of many...
For those who had been mentally swindled by this charlatan, you could thank your head later... For the world we see today is the solidification of mathematical principles and ideas ...
Nice one d question is actually undefined in the first place hence can't be solved for you to have a zero it has to be 0/1

Dad: How is business?
Me: Fine Sir
Dad: When are you coming to see us?
Me : I don't know yet but I will try very soon.
Dad: Okay, bye.

Politics / Re: Herdsmen Violence: It’s Unfair To Accuse Buhari Of Killings – Gowon by theemy(m): 11:17am On Jul 11, 2018
Iblad0994:
I think Gowon is the only sane ex Nigerian leader. The rest are just foolish like the Ipigs.

What amazes me is that the propagandists saying Buhari is the one behind the killing haven’t asked themselves this question “ What will he gain? “.

Is he going to be re-elected by killing his subjects, those of which voted en mass for him in the last general election. What exactly will he gain, when he knows insecurity in the country means he’ll lose supporters.

Anybody that goes about saying Buhari is behind these killings need to have their brain checked .

Although, he might have been tackling this in the wrong way , coz if left to me he should have sacked all the security chiefs.
U re getting it all wrong people are actually saying he is doing nothing about it nobody is being prosecuted and sent to jail hence turning a blind eye can also be seen as an accomplice to a crime

Politics / 50 Feared Killed In Adamawa, Taraba Attacks by theemy(m): 10:51am On Jul 11, 2018
Over 50 People were reported to have been killed in fresh attacks on Monday night in several border communities in Adamawa and Taraba states.

The attacks were reportedly carried out by Fulani militiamen targeting farming communities around Gojefa, Bujum Yashi, Bujum Waya, Sabonlayi and Bujum Kasuwa villages in the Numan Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
Other communities affected by the onslaught include Anguwan Bishop Yotti, Todung, Budon, Bunzum and Bamga Dutse located in Taraba State.

The sustained attacks in recent times, according to the Hama Batta, Alhamdu Teneke, the traditional ruler of Demsa chiefdom, have resulted in most communities in the area abandoning farming. He said this development might lead to famine soon.

Confirming the recent attacks, the member representing Numan in the Adamawa State House of Assembly, Sodomti Tayedi, said more than 50 people were feared killed in the wave of the recent attacks.

She also pointed out that no week passed in her community without an attack carried out by suspected Fulani militia.

Tayedi said, “Our people are farmers but my community is now living in fear since these attacks started in November last year and have persisted up till date.

“We are hopeless and helpless; economic activities here have stopped. This is a farming season and if we cannot go to the farm, then poverty and starvation are what is left.

“We are calling on the government, as a matter of urgency, to come and secure our people and constituency since no one is allowed to take up arms, then it is the responsibility of the government to protect people.”

One of the survivors, Galilee Ishaku, a resident of Sabon Layi, said, “Those who attacked us were Fulani and they came when we were in the market because it was market day.
“They suddenly entered our village and started shooting. We ran and cross over the river but they followed us and kept on shooting.

“Right now as I am talking, they are in our village, grazing on our farms.

“The people that I know were killed were more than 30 people but many of our villagers are still unaccounted for.”
Another resident, Dong Jonah, said the attacks usually followed rumours of an impending attack, adding that despite the early warnings to security agencies, measures were hardly taken to forestall the attacks.

However, the Adamawa State Government, on Tuesday through the state Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Ahmad Sajoh, condemned the attacks on Numan and Demsa communities.

Funny enough, the affected people have better perspective to the problems at hand. They are not bigots like many of you. If Kanu had been an intelligent guy many of you want us to believe, he wouldn't have Established BSS or nonsense he did that time. IPOB is self serving and parochial. I ask some of your brothers who seems to more neutral and intelligent how they want to go if at all Biafra state is granted, believe me, many of you still think you will be living in Nigeria as you live in south Africa and other foreign countries while you have your country. You don't have plans on how you want to run your hate filled agitated country. Don't let hate cover your sense of judgement. Save yourself from hatred pls. Shalom.
You don't seem to get it during the Osun State crisis we saw the one sided arrest carried out by Buhari's men during the Niger Delta avengers we saw crocodile tears unleashed now fulani herdsmen decimating people in thousands he begins 2 pass blame.
