Technically, the video has him suggesting that they be removed from the list and handed directly over to the EFCC for investigation. He didn't just declare him NOT GUILTY as you suggest.

Thank you for mentioning the constitution. Is FG being forced to send money every month to hypocrites? did the hypocrites write the constitution? Who are the vociferous voices calling for the complete overhaul of this constitution? Since it's a burden on FG to send money to states particularly the much discussed parasitic states and GEj will not convene SNC because it's unconstitutional, why can't he send bill to NASS to stop the allocation altogether? He can as well send such a bill and he will perfectly be within the armpit of law.

If he can summon courage to pass PIB, that will be a great thing.

Yes, the FG is forced to send money every month. Its written in the constitution.

Also, please stop mentioning the PIB, because it is already in motion. So mentioning it doesn't make sense.

As for sending a bill to the NASS to halt allocations? Lol! Nigerians love their awuf more than they love their mothers (witness the subsidy riots); stopping allocations will simply kick off World War III.
lastly, GEJ's bill's do not automatically become law, the NASS votes on them and not rep or senator in the present system will vote to end allocations. They would rather die. Maybe you haven't heard they are the highest paid on the planet, so imagine telling them to hault the awuf train! grin grin grin grin

Your post was my first ever use of the "like" button.

During the fuel subsidy crisis, some of us screamed ourselves wretched that the people were falling for the biggest con; they decided to fight the oil cabals battles to enslave them with amazing vigour!
Suddenly, GEJ, Deziani Madueke and Okonjo Iweala became public enemy number one for campaigning for the removal of the subsidy, because it was corrupt. In fact, the people did an acrobatic, logic defying 360 and decided that those who were calling for an end to the corrupt subsidy system were the guilty ones. Wonders!

The Farouk Lawan picture is even worse than you have painted, because he was using the probe as a 2015 weapon against GEJ. That is why Otedola who imports only diesel which is not subsidised was blackmailed by Farouk. Nobody batted an eyelid when Rilwan Lukman, Nigeria's serial oil minister (and under whom the vast proportion of subsidy crime occurred) was not even as much as mentioned by Farouk and his impish gang.
It was about destroying innocent people, while entrenching the interests of the oil cabal. 85% of indigenious oil blocks are owned by a few core-Northern elite.

These oil wells were illegally given out by IBB, Abacha (with Buhari's connivance) and Adulsalam; the licenses are due to run out between 2016 and 2018 and they fear that the only way they can retain hold is by shifting power back to the "North." That is why politics has taken the shape of no holds barred warfare, with stuff like boko haram fully deployed to make the country ungovernable. There are less than 100 men in that clique, yet they make more money annually from oil than the entire Niger Delta.

The Nigerian populace just likes life easy, so they never bother to look below the surface. They love rumours, so are easy to deceive.
If this was a less serious matter, I would have opened several "I told you so!" threads by now, but lets just sit and wait with grim patience as truth after truth unfolds.
. Beaf, you've said my mind.
Re: Video: How Farouk Lawan Asked Reps To Remove Otedola From Probe Report by Beaf: 7:48am On Jun 15, 2012

Thanks.

Donxavier: . My take on GEJ is that he's compromised so he can't do anything. He's already sold his soul. Ever since he ditched the zoning formular to favour himself it's been downhill from there. Ofcourse Nigeria has always been corrupt, but the Level of Corruption now has reached stratospheric Levels under his watch and his inaction is the bane of the problem. Some are implying that doing away with the whole subsidy regime is the way to go. I want to ask a simple question, Doing away with the subsidy only closes that opportunity, the Corruption is the Root cause. If the subsidy was done without corruption it won't be a problem. Why can't we have stable electricity in this country? Simple reason Corruption. Solve the Power problem and Nigeria becomes a Great nation in 10yrs. So simple everyone can see it but why won't it happen.. Corruption. Transparency Int said they never dealt with the huge scales of scams coming out of Nigeria 2012. It has always been there but under Jonathan everything has shot up too stratospheric Levels. That's why everything is coming out now. It has become free for all looting. As much as I detest GEJ I would vote for him if and only if he solves the Power Problem in this country. If Obj says Buhari is an upright man, then there we have a man who would stop the corruption or at least have it reduced to the barest minimum. But it's like we like suffering in this country.

Awuf is the root cause of corruption and oil is the root cause of awuf. The only way forward is ditch the subsidy entirely as GEJ suggested followed by the privatisation of all non-security critical areas of the oil sector. Until that day, any "battle" against corruption would be empty puffing of stale winds.

As for corruption hitting stratospheric levels, thats simply your imagination playing tricks on you. GEJ is from the Niger Delta, therefore he has a personal stake and for the first time ever, he has opened the Aso Rock books for Nigerians to see what is really happening in the oil sector. Every President before GEJ used to take a heavy cut on every single shipment of oil out of the country. And the industry was a closed mafia.
Instead of doing that Jonathan has opened your eyes, no expenditure is hidden anymore, but it seems Nigerians prefer to be lied to. Look at the kind of scum they took as a hero, just look at Farouk Lawan and weep at the pathetic sense of judgement of the average Nigerian. That guy was actually their hero! An agent of the cabal!

Lets wait and see how this thing unfolds. I believe it will last at least a year, and I'm sure its going to be the year when the scales finally fall of the beleaguered eye of the citizen on the street. Right now, most are too caught up in their empires of ethnic and religious bigotries to see clearly.

Lawan is corrupt, he is a thief, he should be stoned. Agreed.

But there are still questions:

1.Who is responsible for the astronomical increase in 2011 subsidy relative to 2010? Certainly not Lawan.
2.Who is the grand facilitator of sharing loot arising from Malabu OPL245 oil deal and has his own cut ? Certainly not Lawan.

The only way out of this mess is the outright removal of subsidy. No doubt, those in power have abused the whole process just as they are abusing other efforts put in place to revamp our ailing economy. We are the "architects of our own misfortune". The whole subsidy scheme is a sham! Where we have marketers that pass off "SEA WATER" as fuel and use this to collect billions of naira. It only enriches a few.

I don't hold sway for the duo of Otedola or Lawan Faruk because the former is one of the reasons why our power sector is in a comatose state whilst the latter is a corrupt politician. More so, the recent events show that the whole "subsidy report" is flawed. What is more disturbing is the fact that other major marketers are now coming out of the closet with bribery allegations. It is estimated that the subsidy committee collected about 11 BILLION NAIRA to doctor the report.

For those blaming GEJ, he cannot do anything without the approval of the NASS and we can see yet again that they are just a corrupt lot out to enrich themselves. We yet ignore all these and attack ourselves along tribal, ethnic and religious lines whilst the future or our children born and unborn is mortgaged by a few individuals. God bless Nigeria.

It is totally misleading when we make it look like we are where we are at the moment because we didnt allow GEJ and his gang to have their way with their twisted fuel subsidy argeument. Honestly, the idea that the only way to curb corruption in the petroleum sector is to remove the amarphous fuel subsidy is so myopic if not downright mean-spirited.

The people of Nigeria didnt revolt against the idea because they were brainwashed by the 'subsidy scamers' nor was it because we like the easy life, NO! Nigerians revolted because the consequences were/are simply UNBEARABLE taking into cognisance the net income of an average family. It would have led to a very HIGH cost of living. There must be a way to remove the so called subsidy without adding more trauma to the bulging pain-load of the man on the street!

Biuld refineries? Remove the present operators in that area and get the less corrupt ones? The buck stops on GEJ table! He is the president. He should sound off other less purnishing alternatives to solve the problem rather than passing the cost over to poor Nigerians because he can easily do so .

How President Jonathan, Ministers And Cronies Shared N155 Billion From Malabu Oil Block Sale Scam-PREMIUM TIMES
Posted: May 24, 2012 - 13:40


The presidency, his associates and some ministers have been named in a monumental money laundering scandal, one of the most elaborate in Nigeria's history.

PREMIUM TIMES can reveal today that the N155billion secretly paid to convicted money launderer, Dan Etete, by the Federal Government, on the orders of President Goodluck Jonathan, was actually a slush fund, with a huge chunk of it ending in bank accounts of cronies and business associates of government officials and at least one individual with links to Mr. Jonathan.

Our investigation also indicates that in order to cover up what is clearly one of the most elaborate corruption schemes in Nigeria’s history, the president tapped the junior minister in the finance ministry, Yerima Ngama, and Attorney General Mohammed Adoke to hurriedly transfer the funds to Mr. Etete on August 16, 2011, a day before the Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, assumed office.

Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala was not available Friday to comment on her knowledge of the transaction. Her spokesperson, Paul Nwabuikwu, said she was away in Zimbabwe on an official engagement.

This website had on Monday reported how the Nigerian subsidiaries of two multinational oil companies Nigeria Agip Exploration Limited (Agip) and Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company Limited (Shell) paid $1.1billion (N155billion) to the Federal Government in April last year for onward transmission to Malabu Oil whose principal is Mr. Etete.

Our subsequent investigations later showed that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had indeed investigated the deal, concluding that the transaction pointed at a “cloudy scene associated with fraudulent dealings.”

The EFCC investigation also clearly established that Mr. Etete’s Malabu only served as a money laundering machine, as substantial parts of the funds was later transferred to various accounts owned by “real and artificial persons” suspected to have links with the presidency and other government officials.

Presidency sources familiar with the matter say the EFCC intimated President Jonathan and Mr. Adoke of its findings.

“But I can tell you that the investigation has suffered a setback since the presidency got wind of it,” one of our sources said. “There is high-level complicity in the deal and there is therefore high-level cover up. The report is gathering dust on the president’s desk.”

Mr. Jonathan’s spokesperson, Reuben Abati, could not be reached on his mobile telephones to comment for this story Friday. And so also was Mr. Adoke. Mr. Ngama did not return calls to his mobile telephone.

Relying on court papers in the United States (where some consultants have sued Malabo for breach of contract), checks at the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and on its own investigations, the EFCC established that “a prima facie case of conspiracy, breach of trust, theft and money laundering can be established against some real and artificial persons.”

The beneficiaries

At the heart of this brazen theft of public funds is one Abubakar Aliyu, a man whom top presidency and EFCC sources described as “Mr. Corruption” and who has very close business ties with Diepreiye Alamiesegha, convicted former governor of Bayelsa state.

Mr. Alamiesegha, the self-styled governor-general of the Ijaw nation, is the man who picked Mr. Jonathan as his running mate in the 1999 governorship election in Bayelsa state and whom Mr. Jonathan succeeded in office after the former was impeached over corruption charges.

The disgraced former governor played a major role in Mr. Jonathan’s election last year, serving as both an adviser and a top campaign official.

Mr. Aliyu, through companies co-owned by him, received direct payments of $523mn (N81bn) from the largesse. Investigators believe that the businessman, introduced to the president by Mr. Alamieyeseigha, was Mr. Jonathan’s front in the transaction.

Mr. Aliyu is however not new to corrupt deals. One of his companies was recently found to be involved in a shady deal which involved the buying of a landed property from a government agency (NITEL) for N1billion and then reselling the same property to another government agency (CBN) for N21billion.

He allegedly used his links with late President Musa Yar’Adua and President Jonathan to broker the deals, and then reportedly paid kickbacks to some government officials.

Mr. Adoke, the current Justice Minister was named in that deal too just as sources believe he played a major role in the sharing of the N155billion largesse.

Sharing the money

On August 16, 2011, Mr. Adoke and the Minister of State for Finance, Yerima Ngama, coordinated the payment of a first tranche of $401.5million (N60billion) into a First Bank account 2018288005 belonging to Malabu.

Another $400millionn (N60billion) was, based on the duo’s instructions, transferred into a Malabu Bank PHB (now Keystone bank) account 3610042472 from a Nigerian government account with JP Morgan International Bank. The balance of the funds was reportedly lodged into Mr. Etete’s account with Zenith Bank.

Immediately Malabu received the money, the distribution began. Rocky Top Resources Limited, co-owned by Mr. Aliyu received $336 million (N50bn) from the Malabu Keystone Bank deposit. Other companies that got money from the Malabu curious transfers include A-Group Construction Company, also co-owned by Mr. Aliyu. It received $157mn (N24bn), while Novel Property and Development Limited, also co-owned by Mr. Aliyu got $30 million (N4.5bn).

Companies not linked to Mr. Aliyu but got money from Malabu include Mega Tech Engr Co. Ltd, which received $180 million (N27bn) and Imperial Union Limited, $34million (N5.1bn).

Sources say these companies, like Mr. Aliyu’s, simply acted as fronts for political office holders, who helped to facilitate the transfer, as they have no basis to receive such huge sums of money from Malabu. The EFCC has also not identified what task these companies performed to deserve the payments.

“Reasons for this payment is yet to be ascertained,” the commission said.

Long before the largesse was shared however, Malabu had become a company renowned for shady deals.

A history of fraud

According to investigators, through “conspiracy, forgery, uttering forged document, criminal misappropriation and money laundering,” Mr. Etete and Malabu Oil had been involved in illegalities since its formation.

Formed on April 24, 1998, Malabu Oil had three shareholders: Mohammed Sani (Abacha, son of late military dictator Sani Abacha), Kweku Amafagha (who was representing Dan Etete on the board), and Hassan Hindu (representing her husband, Hassan Lawal, a former Nigerian High Commissioner to the UK). Mr. Sani owned 10 million of the 20 million shares in the company; Mr. Etete six million and Mr. Hassan, four million.

Five days after the company was formed and registered at the CAC, it got two oil blocks awarded to it by the then military government: OPL 245 and OPL 214.

Mr. Etete was petroleum minister at the time.

Controversy however trailed the oil blocks as President Olusegun Obasanjo, in 2001, revoked the allocations, giving OPL 245 to Shell.

After several court cases in Nigeria and overseas between Malabu, Shell, and the Federal Government, the oil blocks were re-awarded to Malabu in 2010.

Scheming out Abacha

Following a secret resolution on the oil block with the Federal Government, Mr. Etete decided to edge out Mr. Abacha from the ownership of Malabu. It is not clear if this is one of the conditions the Federal Government gave to Mr. Etete during the negotiations.

However at an extraordinary general meeting of Malabu on June 9, 2010, Mr. Abacha and a company related to him, Pecos Energy, were removed as shareholders of Malabu. The new owners (believed to be fronts for Mr. Etete) became Munamuma Seidougha and Amaran Joseph, both of whom had 10 million shares each.

These changes, the EFCC stated “gave rise to a lot of moral and ethical question that can necessitate an objective and full blown investigation into the matter.”

Mr. Abacha however fought back fiercely. Sensing that he had been schemed out and aware that Mr. Etete was already negotiating with Shell and Agip, he decided to act.

The Shell, Agip, FG, Etete conspiracy

PREMIUM TIMES learnt that Ednan Agaev, an international counsel hired by Malabu told the Supreme Court of New York in an affidavit that he was appointed by Malabu to find an investor for OPL245.

“One John Coplestone of SHELL, a party to the negotiation informed him that Mohammed Sani (Abacha) is laying claim over OPL 245,” the EFCC stated. An AGIP official also told Mr. Agaev that “in view of the new claim by Mohammed Sani (Abacha), a direct deal with Malabu would not be possible.”

Mr. Agaev then informed Mr. Etete of the new development and suggested a way out.

To put off Mr. Sani (Abacha) from realizing his claim, “The FGN (should) take back the oil block from Malabu, transfer the rights to ENI AGIP/Shell and pay Malabu a compensation from the payments made by ENI AGIP and Shell,”

The oil companies agreed accepted the proposal. “By the end of March 2011, the FGN seemed to have acted with the suggestion,” the EFCC said.

This new evidence gathered by the EFCC contradicts the claims of Shell, who through its spokesman, Precious Okolobo, denied knowing that Malabu was to be the recipient of its payment.

“Shell was not aware that that money was to be paid to Malabu,” Mr. Okolobo had told PREMIUM TIMES.

I will only add that the journalist that penned this piece has not been sued for anything at all and no publication from presidency has demanded for any apology.


On fuel subsidy, I laughed so teeeeeee, I almost broke my lappy. Which of the Yar'Adua cabals? The Ibori in jail, the disgraced Aondoakaa, the silenced Ruma or the reticent Turai. Don't they have accounts? Can't they be brought to justice? Why not say Yar'Adua emptied the treasury?

2011 subsidy was fraudulently used to finance GEJ election. Chikena.

This is all a good example of reaping what you sow . . . Nigerians went to the polls in the millions to vote these leaders in, from the president to the local government chairs.

Do Nigerians really "elect" most of their leaders? My brother, political positions in Nigeria are majorly filled not by elections but by "SELECTION".

Yes they do. Nigerians can no longer use the excuse "we did not vote them" to run away from reality of the problem they helpcreate. These people, most of them uneducated and untried, were not forced on the people. NO, Nigerians went out in the millions to elect and install them. Now what you see happening is nothing but the proverbial chickens come home to roost. People are finally having to deal with that which they refused to deal with to begin with.

So, I shall try to look at GEJ in a different light. No man born of a woman can be that 'clueless' and 'gutless'. Perhaps he is playing some intricate chess that in the long run will make things right. Perhaps Beaf is a truly patroitic nigerian, even if a niger-deltan first. Perhaps NOI, Sanusi, Allison-Maduekwe( she cried for the roads didnt she), perhaps they are still the vanguards we believed they were. They must mean good for us. No set of people can be that 'wicked'. For the long run, by God, i shall try to have faith, because, what else have i got?

I will only add that the journalist that penned this piece has not been sued for anything at all and no publication from presidency has demanded for any apology.

On fuel subsidy, I laughed so teeeeeee, I almost broke my lappy. Which of the Yar'Adua cabals? The Ibori in jail, the disgraced Aondoakaa, the silenced Ruma or the reticent Turai. Don't they have accounts? Can't they be brought to justice? Why not say Yar'Adua emptied the treasury?

2011 subsidy was fraudulently used to finance GEJ election. Chikena.

Very strong rebutals have been issued, but I guess only one side of such rumours matter to some. Believe what you like, bro.
I don't think anybody is in the business of convincing people these days. The wiser ones are seeing the light.
Fairy tales are easy to make up for some. Anyway, enjoy your trip; for me, its Farouks day and I don't want to waste time arguing about a make believe World by those dissapointed that Farouk Lawan has been hooked.

I am still laughing. grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

Rebuttals are easy to issue especially when there is no video. Lawan would have stood by his first rebuttals were there no video footage to nail him.
GEJ presidency is the most corrupt in the history of this nation. GEJ himself is corrupt body, soul and spirit.


It's almost 4am and I'm out.

Ezenwenyi: Of all honourable members Farouk Lawan is one member that has some little credibility attached to his profile even though no member of the house is credible,so if Lawan can sell his atomic credibility to Otedola,then there is need for Nigerians to cry.
Yes, at this point, i think that all hope is lost.
