Most Nigerians were born in the night but not last night.\u00a0 The recent
\nrevelations from the files of Panamanian Firm, Mosseck Fonseca, as further
\nrevealed by various media worldwide, concerning these men of questionable
\ncharacter, further reinforces our understanding of the criminal
\nenterprise, which these men have operated, in the name of political
\nleadership in Nigeria, as politically exposed persons.<\/p>\n

\nex-governors flying around in private jets, may very well be coming to the
\nend of their criminal enterprises; unless Nigerians are imbeciles, which I
\nbelieve they are not.\u00a0 There comes a time in the history of nations, when
\ncitizens should rise collectively, against the bandits and plunderers of
\ntheir commonwealth and say enough!<\/p>\n
\nnorthern Nigeria.\u00a0 Many are basically waiting for death to take them out
\nof their misery.\u00a0 A short trip outside many of the big cities, show lack
\nand deprivation that should make people of saner minds lose sleep at
\nnight.\u00a0 The lack is sometimes quite basic; like lack of drinking water,
\nfood, medicines\/healthcare etc.\u00a0 But most times the lack is critical to
\nbasic development; as in roads, electric energy, fuel, etc.\u00a0 The simplest
\ntasks such as cooking can be a challenge.<\/p>\n
\nhave substantially spurred the ease of recruitment for Boko Haram, in the
\nimpoverished communities of Bornu, Yobe, and Adamawa states.\u00a0 This
\nsituation has led to the rise of one of the worst terrorist groups in the
\nworld, Boko Haram. Yet men like David Mark and Bukola Saraki have the
\nconscience to raid the public treasury with impunity, and jet out of
\nNigeria every other month to saner climes.<\/p>\n
\nregions often wondered what manner of people hailed from Kwara, as to
\nallow one family unfettered near-permanent lockdown of the state treasury;
\nand every federal allocation coming to Kwara.<\/p>\n
\nrunning down Banks (Societie Generale Bank), to running down the state
\ntreasury; until Bukola Saraki arrived Abuja, with his eyes on the federal
\ntreasury, via political gamesmanship.\u00a0 Can one plunder his way to the
\npresidency of the senate?\u00a0 Apparently yes.<\/p>\n
\ndown, eyeball to eyeball.\u00a0 The evidence is mounting, from anticipatory
\ndeclaration of assets, to collecting salary as Governor, and as Senator at
\nthe same time, 7 years after leaving the Government House, haba!\u00a0 Well,
\nKwarans are Nigerians, but Nigeria is not Kwara.<\/p>\n
\nopportunities to serve in one public role or the other, for the past 46
\nyears.\u00a0 As David Mark became more powerful, he grew bolder and bolder; he
\nsnapped up multi-million dollar investments including a Golf Course in
\nIreland, with funds from Nigeria’s coffers; plus other juicy
\ninvestments in the Americas.\u00a0 However, David Mark was never satisfied; he
\nrigged elections, he compromised judges, and he induced persons to do his
\nbiddings.<\/p>\n
\nhis Idoma people, who are as impoverished as ever.\u00a0 Many parts of Benue
\nhave no water or roads, yet David Mark has a private helicopter landing
\npad in his house, along with his Rolls Royce and fleet of luxury cars.\u00a0 It
\nwill be pardonable if David Mark has ever worked hard in his life, rather
\nhe has misappropriated anything under his authority with no conscience.<\/p>\n
\nNigeria is nearing an end, in-spite of his recent “election”
\nwon through the “court”.\u00a0 We hope David Mark’s opponent
\nknows how to resurrect his election petition, because David Mark was not
\nelectable in the first place, pursuant to the bona fide evidence from the
\nPanamanian files.\u00a0 Simply put, a public office-holder in Nigeria should
\nnot hold the hidden investments Mark holds per the Panamanian files.<\/p>\n
\ninteresting that another crook in the making is trying to intimidate 180
\nmillion of Africa’s brightest.\u00a0 Dino Melaye, a man who has never had
\na real job or verifiable business track; except for his student union
\nactivities, and a brief stint in the Nigerian House of Representatives.
\nMr. Melaye has recently come into our consciousness.<\/p>\n
\nother men and women we’re watching closely.\u00a0 Dino Melaye’s
\ncontribution to debates at the national assembly is to ask his colleagues
\nto patronize local women in their frolics.\u00a0 He wants to run the FCT as an
\nAdministrator, not as the legislator he is, legislating in part for the
\nFCT, as Chairman of the Senate Committee on the FCT.\u00a0 What manner of man
\ninfers that Nigerian women are mere beef, to be used as fodder for
\nNigerian politicians sexual appetite?<\/p>\n
\njudiciary must be watched with a microscope, and I80 million Nigerians
\nmust encourage Buhari to remain resolute, so that he will give the law
\nenforcement, the free rein and encouragement to do their work zealously.
\nAnything else will be one more step towards letting corruption take
\nNigeria steps closer to death by leadership ineptitude.<\/p>\n
\nNigerians do not get their acts together on corruption, their fallback
\nmode usually includes burdening the hard-working Nigerian Diaspora, for
\ntheir hard-earned resources, which is hardly sufficient for the expensive
\ncost of living in the Western hemisphere.<\/p>\n
\npittances from their leaders, while merrily singing songs of adoration to
\nthem, and then go to sleep.\u00a0 Their leaders then plunder the commonwealth
\nto their hearts content.\u00a0 Many Nigerian leaders are like children in a
\ncandy store, as soon as they get their hands on the
\ntreasury….private jets, Off-shore accounts, unaffordable estates in
\nAbuja and Lagos, SUV’S & luxury cars, mansions, mistresses,
\nmistresses, mistresses, and yet more mistresses.<\/p>\n
\nabout 2 years, to allow the law enforcement and judiciary to conclude the
\ntrials of the several looters, who have rendered the country desolate.
\nDiasporas need to consider investing where they live, instead of sending
\nmoney to Nigeria. Visiting Nigeria on vacations will still be enough to
\nbenefit the hospitality industry and emergency aid to the elderly.<\/p>\n
\narticles will dwell on Sambo Dasuki and his gang’s hijack of over
\n$2.1 billion USD, yes, our $2.1 billion USD, including re-looting
\nrecovered monies.<\/p>\n
\ncasualties, including the loss of sons, brothers, fathers, and providers
\non the war front.\u00a0 These are funds that were specifically earmarked for
\ntroop equipment, safety, and the defense of our territorial integrity;
\nthis is treasonable, refunding the money is not good enough, sanctions
\nmust be fully applied under the circumstances.<\/p>\n
\nout to the world, or the Diaspora for succor, there are things more
\nmeaningful, than existing until death takes one out of his or her misery;
\nstanding up to economic saboteurs is one of those.<\/p>\n
