Buhari plots Goodluck Jonathan's arrest over stolen 5 trillion Naira


thumbnail 1 summary
The Federal Government says it has uncovered discrepancies of about N3.3tn and traceable to NNPC which was managed under Goodluck Jonathan. This was contained in the 2014 Annual Audit Report presented to the National Assembly on Monday by the office of the Auditor General of the Federation. Aside from this, another 4.4 billion being sales from LNG plant in Bonny was paid into secret accounts managed by Goodluck Jonathan.

The document also showed how N36.4 billion was released to the Office of the National Security Adviser, then under the headship of Col. Sambo Dasuki for the restoration and building of dams in substitute to the Federal Ministry of Water Resources. The report also stated that about 3 billion was used to purchase hand sanitizers just during the Ebola epidemic. The document also revealed how Chief Clerk of the National Assembly made payments of 9.5 billion without raising payment vouchers.
The report also revealed how the Nigerian Embassy in Washington DC generated about 3.8 million dollars (between 2012 and 2015) but expended the whole amount on unaccounted frivolities. The document showed how Nigerian Prisons Service deducted tax to the tune of 2 billion naira but remitted zero naira to the federal government.
The document also revealed how Jonathan doled out $1.6m meant to build a school by Nigeria following the earthquake of 2010. But the project is yet to be executed 6 years later. The document stated that, “As of the time of inspection, there was no evidence of a Memorandum of Understanding between Nigeria and the Haitian Government for the construction of the school. More so, the location of the school was not affected by earthquake in 2010. Therefore, the purpose for which the money was given could not be achieved.”
Last week, the president was visibly angry at the mismanagement and thievery of the Goodluck Jonathan government. He has directed the EFCC and other relevant agencies to prosecute all perpetrators without fear or favor.

SHOCKING: Buhari Almost Shed Tears After Seeing How N3.1Trillion Was Stolen By Presidency

President Muhammadu Buhari, who had thought that he had seen the worst of how corrupt practices have in the last few years brought Nigeria to her knees, last week, almost lost his cool when it was brought to his attention that a whopping $16billion – at the official exchange rate of N196, this comes to N3.136 trillion; while, with the parallel market rate of N315, it comes to a whopping N5.04trillion – of the nation’s crude oil revenue loss could be traced to some sharp practices by some individuals in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector.
Muhammadu-Buhari-cries-for-Nigeria
The quantum of funds in question are revenue that ought to have accrued to Federal Government through oil-lifting deals which are now subject of intensive investigations.Specifically, one of the arrow heads of the crude oil lifting scam who has been invited and interrogated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, at least twice before, has been granted administrative bail, and “who is alleged to be warehousing a sizable chunk of the money, drew the ire of Mr. President”, an Aso Rock Presidential Villa source disclosed.
According to Vanguard, even visiting South African President, Jacob Zuma, was caught in the cross winds of Buhari’s reinvigorated anti-graft stand, as he said every kobo of the stolen funds must be recovered.Similarly, information suggests that the United States government is helping in the provision of intelligence on how to trace some of the stolen funds from Nigeria that were secretly moved out.
Benin Republic and South Africa have both become safe havens for Nigeria’s stolen funds.
$16BILLION
According to Aso Rock insiders, the funds were “supposed to be proceeds from some of the crude oil sold on behalf of the Federal Government of Nigeria by these people and for which they were said not to have made the necessary returns to the coffers of the country”.
Continuing, one of the sources said: “You needed to have been there. You needed to have seen Mr. President. He was almost moved to tears at the colossal fraud that had taken place in the country.
“He became dejected because at a time when the nation’s resources had gone down badly, at a time when the foreign reserves are also not as much as would be befitting of a nation with vast potentials, such a huge amount of money can be traced to the illegal activities of some people.
“But Mr. President has ordered that every kobo must be recovered. Whatever it takes, he has made it clear that those funds must be recovered.”
Records of the oil-lifting schedules, timelines of transactions as well as proceeds that were meant to have accrued to government, the source said, “showed that some people just constituted themselves into a parallel government and were just making away with the nation’s resources.”

TRACING STOLEN FUNDS
Powerful forces in the Goodluck Jonathan’s presidency were neck deep in the mindless looting. As part of its bilateral agreement on intelligence sharing and anti-money laundering surveillance, the US government is collaborating with the Buhari administration on how to trace some of the stolen funds.
It was discovered that whereas the Federal Government has relaxed its forex policy, there has been a heavy movement of cash (in dollars) from Benin Republic back into the system in Nigeria.
The simmering diplomatic row between Nigeria and South Africa, sources disclosed, has more to do with the seeming unwillingness of the South African government to repatriate alleged stolen funds that have been traced to that country.
“This was part of what President Zuma came to resolve with Nigeria during his visit last week.”

Detoxification: The natural approach to improving sperm health


prior to now, it was popularly believed that infertility is something that affects the woman alone. However, reality has shown to us now that the man is also a culprit especially if he cannot produce healthy, motile, and normal sperm cells.


It is an established fact that conception is a complex process involving the man’s sperm and the woman’s egg. It is also a reality that only one sperm is needed to fertilize the egg of a woman despite the fact that millions are released in a single ejaculate.
Today, a lot of things affect sperm production in men and the statistics have reflected a correlation between our lifestyle changes and the declining state recorded in producing healthy sperm cells.

Drugs (both legal and illegal), alcohol and tobacco can all reduce the and the likelihood that you and your partner will conceive. Avoiding these substances so that the body can detox when preparing for pregnancy, will help ensure the sperm you produce are optimally healthy. This will increase your chances of conception, and ensure that the pregnancy gets off to the healthiest start possible.

by affecting the concentration, motility and shape of your sperm. On average, men who smoke have a lower concentration of sperm in their semen. In addition their semen contains a higher concentration of sperm which are immobile (unable to swim) and abnormally shaped. Because of their shape, these sperm may be immobile, but even if they can swim properly, they will have a harder time trying to penetrate and fertilize an egg, compared to normally shaped sperm. There is also some evidence that smoking reduces the quality of DNA in a man’s sperm, and that this may in turn make the children of fathers who smoke around the time of conception, more susceptible to some conditions like childhood cancer.
by influencing the function of the cells in the testes which produce testosterone and those which are regulated by testosterone to produce sperm. In the long term, heavy drinking has been shown to reduce fertility in men. Those who drink excessively ejaculate a smaller quantity of semen each time, and their semen contains a lower number of sperm compared to men who do not drink heavily. The sperm of heavy drinkers are also less motile.

and should be avoided in general but particularly whilst you are trying to conceive. Marijuana and cocaine impair sperm production by affecting the cells in the testes which produce sperm. Heavy marijuana users have lower concentrations of sperm, which may take 2-3 months to recover when the man stops using marijuana. Marijuana also which can impair sperm production.
Similarly, cocaine use lowers the concentration of sperm in the semen. It has also been associated with the production of immobile and abnormally shaped sperm. Cocaine use may also increase the likelihood of erectile dysfunction (the inability to achieve and maintain an erection) which indirectly affects fertility.

Opiate drugs such as heroin may also because they have hormone altering effects and decrease libido.
Performance enhancing drugs such as anabolic steroids impair fertility because they alter hormone production and reduce libido.
Detoxification and Preconception Supplementation have been proven to help several men deal with male infertility as it helps the body get rid of several of those toxins affecting health sperm production, and also supplying the needed nourishment necessary for healthy sperm production.
You should visit to learn more about our Natural Detoxification and Supplementation Program targeted at men who might be having a challenge in this direction.

EFCC Arrests Former Acting PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus

The immediate past acting chairman of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, Uche Secondus, arrested Tuesday by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, illegally received 23 luxury vehicles valued at N310 million from a controversial businessman, Jide Omokore, PREMIUM TIMES has learnt.

Prince Uche Secondus
A source at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, said the vehicles included a Mercedes G63 and a Range Rover Autobiography.
“His (Mr. Secondus) name popped up while we were investigating Jide Omokore, who lifted crude oil repeatedly through his Atlantic Energy but failed to remit the money to the government,” said the source.
Nigerian government insiders had told PREMIUM TIMES two weeks ago that Mr. Omokore had been compelled ‎to release $14 million crude oil royalty his company, Atlantic Energy Drilling Concepts Nigeria Limited, failed to remit to the federal treasury.
Mr. Secondus was picked up by the anti-graft operatives on Tuesday after investigators suspected he had served as a conduit for laundering Mr. Omokore’s funds.
“Mr. Omokore distributed money and gifts to politicians, and investigators are suspicious that actually those money and vehicles might have passed through him (Mr. Secondus) to other politicians,” the source said.


Mr. Omokore incorporated his company in 2010 and, shortly afterwards, signed a Strategic Alliance Agreement with the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company, the upstream production subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation.
Under the agreement, Atlantic Energy took charge of providing funds, technical services, drill, and selling of crude from four oil blocks – ‎OML 26 FHN, OML 30 Shoreline, OML 34 Niger-Delta Oil, and OML 42 Neconde.
The company was later accused of lifting crude oil but remitting only a fraction of its worth to the Nigerian government.

Mr. Secondus is currently undergoing interrogation at the Commission’s headquarters.
Reacting to Mr. Secondus’ arrest, the PDP criticized the federal government’s “oppressive and unfair treatments” of its key leaders.
In a statement on Wednesday, the party said the arrest was part of a grand script by the All Progressives Congress-led government to decimate the opposition.
“We are also aware that plans have been perfected by the federal government to arrest and detain the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, Senate Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio and other leaders of the party on imaginary charges,” the party said in the statement signed by Victor Kwon, its National Legal Adviser.
“Indeed, intelligence available to the party shows that the federal government, using its various agencies, is bent on destroying any opposition to the ruling party as all indications show that the government is more interested in humiliating the PDP than fighting corruption.”

It was gathered that Umeh was invited to the headquarters of DSS at Amawbia at about 9.00 and after about two hours, was taken out of the office in a pick-up van en-route Abuja.
It was gathered that the security officials were said to have received petitions that Umeh was among those who are secretly supporting the pro-Biafra agitators whose leader, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, is still being detained by the security operatives.
A source close to Umeh said: “I am right now at Aguluzigbo, the country home of Chief Victor Umeh. His wife told me that he was arrested in the morning by men of the security service and taken to their state headquarters.
“But at about 11 am, he was taken from the state headquarters to Abuja in a pick-up van. It was alleged that there were petitions against him that he supports IPOB. We don’t know who may have sponsored the petitions, but there are accusing fingers on some of his known political opponents…”
