He is reported as follows: Minister of Finance Chief FS Okotie-Eboh responded to charges of accumulation of wealth by government officers by quoting from the Bible, “To those that have, more shall be given. From those that do not have, shall be taken even the little they have.” [url] https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/emotanafricana.com/2016/04/15/corruption-in-nigeria-to-those-that-have-more-shall-be-given-from-those-that-do-not-have-shall-be-taken-even-the-little-they-have-f-s-okotie-eboh/amp/[/url] 2 Likes |

Okotie Eboh was very corrupt, oh yes he was the one that brought Julius Berger, he played prominent role in the establishment of CBN but damn that man was very corrupt..he was the one that introduce bribing or oiling your way to get contracts.

I dont know more than what i've read here about this man. But what i see here is a great business who made so much money in business and wanted to do something to make his country greater. He helped achieved alot. And yes, i saw the barefooted woman who ran after him but it's his hard earned money. He can decided ehat to do with it. For all we know he might not even be spending his salary on himself. |

lycannightwolf:I do not hate the igbos too and I live like an igbo man because I admire their ways especially with entrepreneurship but according to Wikipedia, The 1966 Nigerian coup d'état began on January 15, 1966, when mutinous Nigerian soldiers led by Kaduna Nzeogwu and Emmanuel Ifeajuna killed 22 people[1]including the Prime Minister of Nigeria, many senior politicians, many senior Army officers (including their wives), and sentinels on protective duty.[2][3] The coup plotters attacked the cities of Kaduna, Ibadan, and Lagos while also blockading the Niger and Benue River within a two-day span of time before the coup plotters were subdued. The General Officer Commanding, of the Nigerian Army, Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi then used the coup as a pretext to annex power, ending Nigeria's nascent democracy. It was one of the events that led to the Nigerian Civil War. You can visit the website to see how it instigated the second coup later in the year. The whole government was corrupt but the igbos safeguarded their people starting with president Nnamdi Azikiwe who was on a cruise and nothing happened to any greedy igbo politician in the government, even the acting president then was igbo and nothing happened to him too. These facts are out there, corruption was just an excuse to seize power. The real motive for killing Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh was political and not corruption. 3 Likes |

sadly , he was gruesomely murdered by some cowardly pro biafra soldiers. His killing and of others done on the same day with him laid the the foundation for hate and primordial bigotry which has continued to allow nigeria to progress. THANK GOD, His killers were subsequently punished accordingly . REST IN PEACE GREAT-MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Like |

Jethrolite: Playing stop talking what you don't know! If u were not taught history in school why not google it up. How can someone in this day and age not know history and subscribe to tribalistic jagons pushed by illiterate people? Ifeajuna sold out in the coup, every politician were killed except some from the east bcoz ifeajuna was a cousin to Zik. Igbos did not in any way carry out any coup. why would they when the president of Nigeria was igbo and Prime Minister Hausa? It was purely a military revolution in which one of them sold out. Even Kaduna nzeogwu was born in the north and bred by ahmadu Bello. He was even from Delta State. Aguiyi ironsi was also targeted but being who he was he countered them and chased the coup plotters all the way from dodan barracks to seme border. Learn ur history don't allow these political old thieves confuse you, they are our problem not igbo,yoruba & Hausa. Up there no tribalism exists only collective looting. 2 Likes |

Paperwhite:oga,I didn't hear that Nigeria was wallowing in poverty then,saves for some lazy ones. I heard the man was rich. we wouldn't expect him to share all his money among the poor as would have been suggested by Mr Freez. Or did Buhari and Lai say his is also corrupt? |

If it was completed, we won't be in this mess we are in today. But what do i even know? you can educate me more sir... 1 Like |
