They should relocate quickly to the N.Delta, good luck to them. By the way BP's head quarters is in London and not Scotland so private enterprises locate their head quarters where they choose to.

I'm all for 100% resources going to the point of origin with tax and monetary policy reallocating wealth as necessary.

Let's stop all these childish talk. 100% resource control NOW! Le't see how we get on when that happens.

I think NOI holds dual citizenship (Nigeria and US), but it is highly improbable that America will cede control of the World Bank head role to someone who is not substantively American (ie US citizen by birth, breeding and heritage).

As to whether she is qualified I shall reserve my comment but I do not believe Nigeria's Budget 2012 as drafted shows her in a good light.

GEJ has been president or vice president for almost 5 years now. Still nothing tangible to show for it. GEJ is a parasite.

What that, probably, video doesn't show:
- The policeman volunteering when others refused;
- The policeman checking tens of other similar bags that turned out to be bags of rice etc;
- The policeman's oga giving him instructions;
- Pictures of his loved ones and dependants mourning him and contemplating life without him; and
- The policeman being briefed that he could use his "metal detecting wand" to check if a package is a bomb or not.

This man has given up his life so others may live. A high price to pay and deserving of respect and sober reflection.

If we feel he was 1) rash; 2) inadequately trained; and 3) poorl equipped, let's take it up with the Authorities.

I pray should any of us have to make that difficult decision, others may at least appreciate the sacrifice made and work together.

RIP. Another Nigerian failed by the Nigerian state. God keep his family in this trying time.

It is proper that he visits, but as he visits the Emir and the sites he should remember to visit the victims in hospitals, the widowers and widows as well as the orphaned children.  He should also visit the traders, the workers and the bystanders who have been under siege for many years.

Once all the visiting is done, Nigerians need the collective fury of whatever competent security forces we have left to visit JUSTICE on Boko Haram.

Do you have a link or source connecting that firm to confirmation that they will be doing the audit?

Wont that lead to increased violence

Perhaps, but if random people know that NYSC corpers are packing guns and know what to do with them, then they are less likely to attack them. Furthermore, police, military etc will not see young graduates as cattle to be shot at at will.

NYSC should be turned to military training. If it was then perhaps ethnic groups would recognise and respect each other better. Graduates would be familiar with the workings of a gun. And would have some experience of controlling crowds.


If it can't be turned to military training, then scrap it!

Nigeria’s Attorney General Adoke In Web Of Corruption; Admits Ownership Of Bank Accounts

More details are emerging about the corrupt deals of Nigeria’s Attorney General and Justice Minister Mohammed Bello Adoke – as well as the man’s mind-boggling deposits in numerous bank accounts.

Some 24-hours after an online news website, ireports-ng.com, published details of Mr. Adoke’s multi-million dollars in secret bank accounts, Nigeria's controversial attorney general admitted to another website that he in fact owns accounts in the banks reported by the website.

Mr. Adoke told Pointblanknews that he indeed owns the accounts, but claimed the deposits in the said accounts were not up to the amounts published by Ireports-ng.

“I have accounts with FCMB and Diamond Banks. I have a salary account with Intercontinental Bank and these are the only accounts I have been operating since I was appointed Attorney-General,” he told Pointblanknews.com. Then he added: “But the accounts in the said banks are far, far lower than the figures they are peddling.”

But the minister’s attempt to understate his staggering cash holdings has triggered more revelations of his financial shenanigans.  iReports.ng has released more devastating information about Mr. Adoke’s ties to and financial involvement with several companies that have ripped Nigerians off in fuel subsidy scams.

The site reported that some of Mr. Adoke's close allies, infuriated with his despicable role to put down the on-going nationwide strike in the country, have provided documents that lay bare the minister's stupendous wealth hidden in over 25 blue chip companies in Nigeria – including firms that have reaped fraudulent profits from the contentious oil subsidy funds.

A rundown of the documents made available to ireports-ng.com reveal that Mr. Adoke is a major investor in Oando Oil, a firm that gulped down more than N228 billion out of the N1.4 trillion shared by about 100 oil marketers between January and August, 2011. The website’s investigation indicated that the Justice Minister owns an investment of about N1.5 billion in Oando Oil PLC.

Other documents also show that Mr. Adoke has a major investment stake in Eterna Oil which raked in about N5.57 billion from the fuel subsidy bonanza. In addition to N1 billion investment in Eterna, the minister also has N2 billion tucked in a company called Novasys Ltd.

A top-level political source in Abuja who is close to President Goodluck Jonathan told SaharaReporters today that the attorney general’s cozy relationship with some of the oil marketers was the reason the government has refused to pursue the option of prosecuting
fraudulent profiteers who have cheated Nigerians of hundreds of billions of naira in the name of fuel subsidy.

“Mohammed [Adoke] and others in government are getting their share of the subsidy funds – and that’s why nobody is talking about trying those defrauding the system,” said the source.

Mr. Adoke’s corrupt deals also extend to the banking, telecommunications and real estate sectors. Reliable informants reveal that the minister has extensive investments in major banks in the country. Some of them include about N400 million in Oceanic Bank; N200 million in UAC properties; about N20 million in Guaranty Trust Bank; about N360 million in Access Bank; about $400,000 US dollars in MTN; about N1 billion in Japaul Oil & Maritime; about N15 million in Bank PHB; about N100 million in First Bank; about N20 million in FCMB, and about N6 million in Unity Bank PLC.

Saharareporters had earlier exposed Mr. Adoke’s central role in pushing the Central Bank of Nigeria to pay a businessman and associate of the minister an outrageous sum to purchase a NITEL property that the businessman had bought cheap from the government.

Following our earlier report about the minister’s bank accounts, a source in one of the banks revealed that Mr. Adoke had initiated moves to deplete his funds in the bank.

Other sources disclosed that Mr. Adoke owns more than 30 luxury vehicles that he has purchased in the last three years alone. In addition he owns several landed properties in Abuja. A source in the Ministry of Justice told SaharaReporters “it is well known that the minister collects money, cars and cash from individuals and corporations on whose behalf he subverts the course of justice.”

Saharareporters has consistently revealed that Mr. Adoke has distinguished himself as one of the most fraudulent and corrupt ministers in the Jonathan regime. His immersion in corruption follows a trend set by disgraced former Attorney General Michael Aondoakaa.

Like Mr. Aondoakaa, who was close to former Supreme Court Justice Aloysius Katsina- Alu, the current AGF used his closeness to the same (now retired) justice to secure his place in President Jonathan’s cabinet. Through his closeness to the notoriously corrupt Katsina-Alu, Mr. Adoke fixed the apex court’s verdict upholding Mr. Jonathan’s election as president.

Our political sources said the president is as indebted to Adoke as the late President Umaru Yar’adua was to Aondoakaa.

A source described Adoke as “one of President Jonathan's most powerful ministers,” adding that the minister is “a core member of the president’s kitchen cabinet.”

In "non-banana republic" countries this statement by a non-independent central bank governor would have seen a huge investigation of the parties involved, the resignation of the finance and petroleum ministers and the eventual resignation of the Central bank gov for authorising those payments.

The Govt of the day would be forced to sacrifice some major political backers and many people would have gone to jail for very long times.

In GEJ's Nigeria it is the poor that police chase and kill, Boko Haram bombs and "tribal warriors" emerge threatening trade unions. Nigeria, the mental patients are in charge of the asylum.
