Chicagoesontop: Acknowledgment is not the main thing, the action he will take is the sole and primary thing we are waiting to observe !! but Oga it's not am aware that police have visited them but HAS visited them
You dont need to come out here and disgrace your parents for spending so much on your education, while you lack basic rules of grammar. Police,like team and many other words in that category are plural noun, the verb that follows them must also be plural. Moreso to make it even easier for you, the twit said 'police aithorities' that authomatically must be followed by a plural verb, hence 'the police authorities'

celebgistz: Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has narrated how the General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, prayed for him a day before the Chopper he flew in crash-landed at Kabba, Kogi State.
This is even as he revealed that his aged mother would have lost two sons on the same day had those on board the crashed Chopper died.
The vice president made the revelations at a Thanksgiving Service held at the RCCG, City of Grace, Lokoja, Kogi State on Sunday.
In a statement issued by Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity (Office of the Vice President), Laolu Akande, Osinbajo said Adeboye spoke to him after the Holy Ghost Service on Friday in Lagos.
According to the vice president, “On Friday, we went to (RCCG) camp; usually, I attend our Holy Ghost service. We came in very late from Akwa Ibom State. In fact, we arrived just in time for the grace at the end of the service.
“Thereafter, our Daddy in the Lord, (G.O) Pastor Adeboye, wanted to speak to me. He asked me how things were going on, the campaign activities and all that, and I explained everything; what I was doing on the campaign trail and all of that, some of the challenges.
“He then said, ‘I am going to pray for you.’ He said a prayer that turned out to be very interesting because usually, as you know, he doesn’t pray for long.
“He said ‘Lord God Almighty, I want you to protect this man,’ He said it three times and paused, then he continued. ‘You know how very dear he is to my heart. I want you to protect him.’ I found it very funny that he repeated it several times and then he prayed for favour and other things.
“So, when the crash happened, immediately it dawned on me that the Lord God had led him to say that very special prayer. And the Lord God Almighty delivered us in accordance with His word that, ‘even when 10,000 fall by our side, no harm whatsoever, will come near us.’ I just want to thank the Almighty God for His grace and mercy that has been so abundant in my life and in all of our lives who are here.”
Osinbajo who was joined by others on board the Chopper at the altar disclosed that his mother would have lost two sons on the same day had they died in the crash.
Those on board the crashed Chopper with him were Minister of State Labour, Stephen Ocheni, Femi Osinbajo, (VP’S elder brother), Special Adviser on Political Matters, Senator Babafemi Ojudu and SSA Foreign Affairs/Protocol, Ambassador Abdullahi Gwary.
Others were Mr. Laolu Akande, (Spokesman); Dr Biodun Adelowo, Personal Physician; Mr. Doyin Adetuberu, Security Officer and Ayoola Oladunni, ADC.
Osinbajo said, “This is my elder brother, the same father, same mother. Our father passed on long ago, but our mother is alive. If both of us had lost our lives on the same day, that would have been an absolute tragedy, but God saved that from happening.
“We are truly grateful to the Almighty God and we bless the name of the Lord. And for all of you who are rejoicing with us today, your homes will be filled with rejoicing. You will not know tragedy; you will not know harm, all the days of your lives will be filled with rejoicing.”

6Ebisco: Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra inspected the construction work on the second Niger Bridge and expressed satisfaction with the standard and pace of work.
The governor, who was visibly happy with the extent of work done so far, said he was confident that the Federal Government under President Muhammadu Buhari would deliver on the job as scheduled.
He noted that the bridge, when completed, would not only boost the economic activities of the South-East and South-South but that of the whole country.
“I have no choice than to praise President Muhammadu Buhari for his determination in the implementation of other federal government projects in the state and other states in the region,” he said.
The Project Director, Julius Berger Construction Company, Mr Fredrick Wieser, explained that the construction would be in three phases.
Wieser noted that the federal government has already made advance payment of 15 per cent which amounted to N30 billion as mobilisation fee.
According to him, the bridge will be 1.6 km, while the access road from Asaba axis will be 3.3 km and 7km from Anambra respectively.
“Right now, we are doing foundation work in the river which will be 50 metres deep.
“The pilling work in the river will be 15 metres above water level to allow free flow of ships,’’ he said.
He, however, pointed out that with the determination of the present administration, the project would be delivered on or before Feb. 28, 2022. (NAN)

deji17: UNEXPLAINED WEALTH ORDERS IN USE: HERE’S AT LEAST 5 CASES THE POLICE SHOULD CONSIDER TODAY!
Written by Transparency International UK on Wednesday, 31 January 2018
Today, Unexplained Wealth Orders (UWOs) come in to force. They are a new investigative power designed to help law enforcement act on corrupt assets. This is something that Transparency International has been advocating for since 2014.
For more on what UWOs are and how they work in practice, see our brief guide here.
They are particularly useful where there is no realistic prospect of cooperation or conviction in the country of origin, but there are sufficient grounds for suspicion that an asset has been acquired with the proceeds of corruption. Based on open source information, we have pulled together five cases where we believe law enforcement should consider using UWOs in forming a case for civil recovery proceedings against potentially illicit wealth.
1. KENWOOD GATE, HAMPSTEAD LANE, LONDON Suspected owner: First family of Azerbaijan Estimated Value: £18 million
Photo: OCCRP
In 2015, the Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) uncovered an £18 million mansion on Hampstead Lane, North London, belonging to the First family of Azerbaijan. According to Land Registry documents the mansion is owned by Beckforth Services Limited – an Isle of Man company. Official company documents from 2000 state that Beckforth was controlled by Ilham Aliyev, the country’s current President, and his wife Mehriban, who is his now Vice President. In 2012 the registered shareholder was recorded as Leyla Aliyeva, Ilham and Mehriban’s eldest daughter. Since then it has been recorded as a British Virgin Island company, Sonymore Limited, and then another Isle of Man company, Locki Limited, of which Leyla was the sole shareholder until 2014. Since then Locki’s registered shareholder has also been Sonymore and its current shareholder is itself as a trustee of another company.
At the time the property was bought Ilham Aliyev was Vice President of the country’s state-owned oil company, SOCAR, and his father was the country’s President. There is no public documentation about Ilham’s wealth or income at the time when the house was purchased. However, the First family of Azerbaijan are alleged by the OCCRP to have collected vast amounts of personal wealth by abusing their positions of power. Ilham Aliyev has been the country’s President since 2003 and currently has an official annual salary of £75,000. Although elected officials are not yet required to publish the details of their assets, latest estimates by the OCCRP claim the Aliyev family hold a global property portfolio worth at least £100 million, including £41 million in London real estate.
2. FLATS 138A AND 138B, 4 WHITEHALL COURT, LONDON Suspected owner: Igor Shuvalov, Russian First Deputy Prime Minister Estimated Value: £11.44 million
In 2014 the First Deputy Prime Minister of Russia, Igor Shuvalov, published an anti-corruption declaration which showed amongst other properties, he rented a flat in London just 10 minutes’ walk from the Houses of Parliament. Contrary to this, however, anti-corruption campaigner Alexey Navalny alleges that Shuvalov owns flats Flat 138A and Flat 138B in 4 Whitehall Court, which in total are worth £11.44 million.
Land registry documents show the properties are owned by Sova Real Estate LLC, which according to official records obtained by Navalny indicate is owned by Shuvalov and his wife. It is unclear how Shuvalov was able to afford the apartments. His 2014 asset declaration lists his official salary as £112,000 meaning it would take him 76 years to pay for these Westminster properties. The value of the flats also exceeds the joint wealth of Shuvalov and his wife, which are listed on his 2014 declaration as £634,000.
When questioned about his ownership of foreign properties, Shuvalov acknowledged that he owned a number of properties through holding companies in a 2014 interview however Navalny claims he has never spoken publicly about the London property.
3. DOWN HOUSE AND FAIRVIEW, CHESTNUT AVENUE, GUILDFORD Suspected owner: Ahmed Mahmoud Azwai, former Libyan Major General Price: £1 million
These two properties, worth a combined value of £1 million, are owned by a British Virgin Islands (BVI) company called ATT Universal Holdings Limited. According to a Buzzfeed investigation in 2016, this BVI company is controlled by Ahmed Mahmoud Azwai, a former Major General during Muammar Qaddafi’s regime who was responsible for the country’s long-range missile stockpile.
We understand from available information that the state salary for Major General’s in the Libyan arms is around £4,000 per year. During his time in public service he did not release any declarations stating his personal assets or income.
4. 7 AND 8 WHITTAKER STREET, BELGRAVIA, LONDON Suspected owner: Bukola Saraki, President Nigerian Senate Price: £9 million and £6 million

Land Registry documents show that these two addresses are owned by Landfield International Developments Limited and Renocon Property Development Limited. Based on current market estimates by Zoopla, the properties are worth a combined total of around £15 million. According to data released as part of the Panama Papers, these companies were controlled by Toyin Saraki, the wife of the President of the Nigerian Senate, Bukola Saraki as well as one of his personal aides. At the time of these revelations, none of these offshore holdings were reported in Saraki’s official asset declarations.
Previous public disclosures by Saraki have indicated he has high levels of unexplained wealth. In 2003, his asset declaration showed he had amassed tens of millions of pounds worth of assets during his time as director of Société Générale Bank and Special Assistant to the President on Budget. The explanation he provided for these acquisitions was stated simply as “business”. Saraki is involved in an ongoing court case around allegations of false asset declarations from his tenure as Governor of Kwara state.
When asked by The Guardian about these properties, Saraki stated said he had declared all his assets correctly and in accordance with Nigerian legislation.
5. 16-16A AVENFIELD HOUSE AND 17-17A AVENFIELD HOUSE, PARK LANE, LONDON Suspected owner: Nawaz Sharif, former Prime Minister of Pakistan Price: At least £8 million
Land Registry documents show that these four properties are owned by two companies registered in the BVI: Nescoll Limited and Nielsen Limited. According to information published as part of the Panama Papers, these companies were controlled by the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif. In 2017, Pakistani authorities initiated an investigation into these assets, which found that they were purchased without a mortgage between 1993 and 1995, just after Sharif reported a growth in wealth without any plausible declared source of income. *In July 2017, Sharif was removed from office after the investigation found that he had failed to disclose these properties on his official asset declaration.

[quote author=Throwback post=66550390]Whatever regime would take over from Buhari, Nigerians must ensure that no one named Jonathan is allowed to have access to our foreign reserves.
That name Jonathan is a cursed name. At a time a nation needed a Joseph to save up during the time of plenty, we were saddled with a Jonathan that is known to fraternize with the enemies of his own father and surrender his inheritance to his friends. And this Nigerian Jonathan did squander the resources of his nation and encouraged his friends who could not steal to provide their bank accounts to receive loot.
This is the same foreign reserves that Jonathan and Okonjo Iweala ran down from $47b that he inherited from Yar'Adua to $29b/$30b as at the time he handed over to Buhari, despite being the regime that made the most dollars from Nigerian crude oil sales ever. They also ensured to run down the Excess Crude Oil Account, with many illegal withdrawals made by Okonjo Iweala despite not securing the approval of the authorizing FAAC.
Indeed, Jonathan's destiny was to bankrupt Nigeria as opined by Tunde Bakare.
Already borrowing N470b to pay federal civil servants salary in Feb/Mar/April 2015, at a time time crude oil was still selling above $50/barrel before plummeting to $27/barrel in this Buhari regime that did not have to borrow to pay salaries.
This same Jonathan regime despite making so much revenue from oil, refused to pay its IOC JV partners, the government's share of funding that totalled $5b, only to be too broke to pay up when the oil price crisis engulfed the oil industry and the JV partners demanded for their money, and started laying off personnel due to abandoned oil projects that could not be continued owing to paucity of funds.[this is a well researched submission, with facts and figures, devoid of sentiments and misrepresention. Am always very happy reading these kinds of article either they are for or against my view. No man can fault this .]
Opentokwowledge: I talked on phone with my mom living in Ogun state earlier today and she complained bitterly of how they've been hooked on spending heavily on fuel for everyday runnings as the electricity supply has not been stable and there has been no light for 4 days straight up . Btw, has the electricity supply you're here shamelessly celebrating been totally uninterrupted?
oga I've lived in Ikotun, Lagos, for over 10 years, it's never been this good in terms of electricity supply. Your wailing will not change the fact that this Buhari government has performed much better than the obj, yar'adua and Jonathan combined.
Obudupikin: Seems it's only in Taraba that these Fulani herdsmen get the "an eye for an eye" treatment.
but several unprovoked attacks have been lunched against the fulanis in different parts of the country, killing tens of them. The most recent was the the massacre of 68 Fulani's, which include women,children and toddlers.
Hadone: It's happening almost everyday, and simply because they're Fulani they deserve no sympathy
unfortunately majority of Nigerians of southern extraction belief they(the Fulani's) don't have any right to life, even those innocent women, children, and the elderly who are most times victims of this madness.
Wonder no more my friend. Your last statement bears the answer.
Islam is more likely to radicalize one than any other religion. Hence the bias on your religion.
Majority of the terrorism in the world today has been caused by radicalised Muslims. It's only normal for anyone to be wary of y'all.
young man, please go back in history and you will realise that Christian radicalism(crusade) predates Islamic radicalism. Go and read extensively about the crusade, then you can come back and let's have a fruitful debate.
