Well done

But if you have a large body of work, training an AI model to learn the language and translate it is a simple procedure if you understand Machine Learning.

The biggest problem is having a body of work for her ML model to learn from

Hausa language will be the easiest to develop in nigeria because of existing channels such as BBC Hausa and VOA Hausa

Try the DSS
They can track her last known location and sometimes even the SIM in shut off phones. Talk to police comms office too.

Arrest anyone within her last known location. You’ll see their SIM activities logged in there too. Don’t hurt anyone. Just interrogate them. They’ll know something probably

Sometimes I like when people argue blindly cos it’s an opportunity to teach

DeepSight:
Still beside the point. The point is it was possible, and indeed, would be right, to look into it.
PoliticsRe: "Someone Stole $69 Billion USD And Nothing Was Done About It" - Okoi Obono-obla by Yankee101: 4:10pm On Jun 30, 2024
I can send you verifiable law credentials it doesn’t mean I’m legitimate
DeepSight:
Now you have just made your first rational point. Namely that those who said they have the information could be suspicious. And I wholly agree with that point. However such a claim must be investigated. To have it entirely ignored the way the government did is very telling. The first easy step was that they claimed to be an American Law Firm. That is eminently verifiable. But no step whatsoever was taken.



Once again I have to advise you to read carefully. I am not defending his statement as true, I have no clue if it is. I cant possibly. I am saying that such a thing is possible. I hope I dont have to repeat this ad infinitum.
PoliticsRe: "Someone Stole $69 Billion USD And Nothing Was Done About It" - Okoi Obono-obla by Yankee101: 4:07pm On Jun 30, 2024
If you have time you can run through my last comments. I know a lot about unreported revenue as one of the biggest sources of corruption in nigeria

Oil is not a commodity you can steal double a country’s installed capacity like nigeria without it affecting the prices in the world market

Don’t forget soldiers are stealing, politicians are stealing, oil majors are stealing, there’s spillage, Niger delta boys are stealing. So I can guarantee you the information of 69bn traced to one person is false

You’ll need at least 4 administrations to steal that much from crude and at the presidential level. Even IBB was was $5bn during the gulf war. Obono himself did not say he confirmed it. He was asked to pay money to get the details. Which sounds like 419 boys cos you recover first before you get paid not the other way round

DeepSight:
The oil industry in Nigeria has been opaque for decades. Notoriously opaque. And yes, multiple administrations can be at play. These people play at a very high level my friend.

You are still caught in the thought of what is available to steal within official records. I say for the umpteenth time that what is being discussed is entirely off record. It does not come into any records whatsoever.

Let me draw your attention to the fact that Hosni Mubarak alone had close to $100 billion. Food for thought.
PoliticsRe: "Someone Stole $69 Billion USD And Nothing Was Done About It" - Okoi Obono-obla by Yankee101:
In legitimate recovery processes of stolen funds, you provide a service before getting paid

The people who provided him with this information asked for money upfront in order to provide him with the details in Texas. How does 419 operate?

I can assure you there are alot of yahoo boys who can initiate this just to get an upfront fee and flee because Obono’s mandate and budget was well publicized. Obono did not say he confirmed. He said he was told. But now you’re using hearsay as fact and even defending it. Do you know how your reasoning sounds?

The only amount he confirmed was David Marks $200million dollars investment abroad


DeepSight:
And how do you intepret that? Dont be naive.



I will advise you to read more carefully. I have not said for sure he is correct. I have said it is more than possible - as against what many of you are saying - that it is impossible.

From the get-go you never understood that what was being discussed would never come from any official record or budget or earnings. That showed you dont know about the complexity of crude theft.

My friend, lets not even start. It involves the Navy and Presidency as well as many international players.
PoliticsRe: "Someone Stole $69 Billion USD And Nothing Was Done About It" - Okoi Obono-obla by Yankee101: 3:55pm On Jun 30, 2024
Nigeria has not always been this corrupt. So we have historical data that close to real numbers. I uploaded oil production from 1998. We don’t have 69bn for one government to steal. If you say over multiple administrations then fine.



DeepSight:
@Yankee101 - to give you an analogy, what you are doing is calculating the amount that Nigeria makes from gold and using that to say it is impossible for those stealing gold and mining gold illegally outside the system to steal a certain amount of gold off record.

Thats what you are doing. And that is totally irrational.
PoliticsRe: "Someone Stole $69 Billion USD And Nothing Was Done About It" - Okoi Obono-obla by Yankee101: 3:34pm On Jun 30, 2024
I live in the US
You can’t place $69bn in an individuals account just like that directly from oil proceeds


Even the attorney general was mocking him about in front of his wife

Defend only what you’re sure of and can speak about authoritatively

DeepSight:
My dear brother, I listened carefully. He said one account had 69 billion - and referred to 9 billion of that same sum belonging to Azazi. One account, I repeat, one account. So that is clrealy a reference to a trust or proxy arrangement where the parties know who owns what within their arrangement.

This takes nothing away from the point, where you have an NSA involved with that single account, you are dealing with a group, a powerful group at the highest levels.

Perhaps it is you who didnt listen or is not reflecting - because a proxy arrangement does not even have to be obvious by the presence of an NSA on the record. A proxy could be anyone.
PoliticsRe: "Someone Stole $69 Billion USD And Nothing Was Done About It" - Okoi Obono-obla by Yankee101: 3:26pm On Jun 30, 2024
He said one person with 60 and Azazi with 9
You probably didn’t even listen to what you’re defending

DeepSight:
No one said it's one presidency. Also when an NSA is involved it is also unlikely to be one person. You are talking a high level cabal including presidents.

As for your figures I don't know how many times I will tell you crude theft is not part of reported earnings.

It even exceeds reported earnings if you know anything about the oil industry.
