We beg you dear America with everything you hold dear, please and
please, do not repatriate that $458 million seized Abacha assets/loot to
Nigeria right now. In case you do not know, though we know you know, there
is a hole in the bucket right now. To be more precise, we do not even have a
bucket, we have a basket here at present. Bandits are in power. If you give
them this money now, I promise you, we will be repatriating this very same $458
again, plus other billions (USD) in another 16 years. Guaranteed!
Something is missing over here so we cannot yet collect that money, please
bear with us. Soon it will be repaired and then we will come for it; but for
now, kindly keep it well as you have been. The last repatriated funds our
leaders’ godfather got back from Switzerland and other of his looted billions
of dollars we have been recovering locally, and from the Luxembourg and other
stashes, only they know where the money is. The things they said they did with
said funds are nowhere to be seen today.
And this lemon—in power currently—did not fall too far from the tree…the
$458 will be gone before you can say Jack Robinson; before it even reaches
Nigeria. That, sadly, is the way of things these days. We believe you heard
about the Berne declaration report and how they steal billions of dollars of
our earnings before it ever reaches our shores. This is what we go through…
Right now, you can literally see them licking their fingers and fighting
over how they will divide the $458 among themselves to buy more private jets
and sponsor more terror to test their security in their fortified mansions and
bombproof cars.
It is not a problem we cannot and will not handle. We are resolving this
slight, dreadful glitch as we speak. It was an unfortunate situation, actually
a series of unfortunate coincident incidents that got us here: an imprisonment and
a death/murder; odd ‘coincidences’…that got us this Good luck.
God bless you, enh, America, unna do well. To have actually kept the looted
assets intact for 16 years; that is a miracle, the like of which is unheard of
in these parts. Even for few minutes, billions of dollars will not be found
over here, talk less 16 years. In our country, while you are looking at the
money like this, it will be disappearing. Pension, disappear. Subsidy,
disappear. Oil revenue, disappear. NEITI/gas revenue, gone. Tax, gone! Road use
tax, gone before it is started. Malibu, gone. NNPC $20-127 billion remittance,
gone. The money I had in my pocket just now, gone. In fact, the $458, check it
where you kept it. The government vipers have heard of it, it may have grown
wings already!
As official reason not to remit these funds, please consider the implication
of transferring such funds which will potentially be utilized to sponsor terror
in Nigeria. It has been noted that as billions of dollars got missing from the
nation’s coffers, ‘Boko Haram’ and other deadly menaces in Nigeria happened to
simultaneously get stinking rich and able to afford limitless sophisticated
weaponry. We will not want funds released from the US to be used to sponsor al
Qaeda and global terror via transfers from Boko Haram in Nigeria, through AQIM.
Please consider that at this time in our history, we would benefit immensely
if there is a global ban on the purchase of our oil all together. We cause too
much ecological pollution for the worth of the oil harvested from our country;
and the earnings from the oil—of which most is looted—ends up doing us more
harm than good. This is not the right time for us to get any more money from
any source whatsoever. Please consider this seriously. As obtains today, most of
us live under a dollar a day, while the 1003 cabal and leaders, sorry—rulers
who colonize us, live on over a million dollars a day. This is
calamitous.
We should not be giving them more dough. If you give them this money now, I
promise you, we will be repatriating this very same $458 again, plus other
billions (USD) in another 16 years. Guaranteed! These klepto’s are predictable
like desert encroachment. Nostradamus spoke of them in the Century II quatrain
62: “Mabus (Abacha), though dead returns. Both man and beast suffer terribly.
Then, all of a sudden, vengeance arrives. Much blood, thirst, hunger, when the
comet passes.”
Between our Abacha reincarnate leader, sorry—ruler and his
second-in-command, the oil minister, the two who we now find are in-laws—long
story; you cannot imagine what we go through in our country. At this time we
will prefer for our government officials to be strongly sanctioned as they
constitute a risk to themselves, to Nigeria and international partners. You can
imagine we have an agent of the president, Wendell Simlin, aka, Reno Omokri who
is an open terrorist, on the government payroll. Did you hear about the deadly
Immigration scam? Are you aware of the artificial inflicted fuel scarcity—the
proposed refinery cabalization? The colossal man-made flood and what happened
to the funds that were allocated to rehabilitate those who lost all? Too much
to yarn about, maybe some other time.
Then on a final note, you might not know but our government reveres and gave
honorary awards to late Abacha who we (the people and you) recognize was a
murderous thief. If this money is returned to the Nigerian government now, even
if they do not consume it, they will give it back to the criminal members of
his family who have been hoarding our money all this while. What purpose will
your noble action serve then?
We thank you for acting in the best interest of Nigeria. In a little while,
we would have cleared up this mess and the money can then be sent to our new
era of youth leaders in the new Nigeria.
In God we trust.

The Food and Agriculture
Organisation (FAO) says the best way to attract youths to agriculture is for
African governments to evolve fiscal policies that will allow them to have
access to finance.
Obasanjo who stated this

had also forgiven other persons perceived to have offended him.
Madam (Prof) Winifred Fashola is a unique person. She got her first
degree at the age of 45, Master’s degree when she was 49 and I finished her PhD
at 62. Can you beat that? She shared part of her story with Punch and here are
few interesting excerpts, plus her funny encounter with the pastor of her new
