President Mohammadu Buhari certainly has his hands full, and unless something drastic is done to stem massive corruption, the country may be in for the worse! Following tip off, about 800 fraudulent pension accounts have been uncovered and closed by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) following the introduction of the Bank Verification Number (BVN). They are also investigating the mismanagement of close to N2 billion pension fund at the Pension Transitional Arrangement Department(PTAD). Reports say the 800 accounts were spread across all Deposit Money Banks! For now, the ICPC is leaving no stone upturned to unravel the brains behind the shady deals.

Endless scandals! this seems to be the hallmark of ex-petroleum minister who is fast becoming no stranger to shady deals. This time, detectives of the  EFCC have traced a 4 billion naira Hotel to her and a former military administrator accomplice. Relevant papers to the deal have also  been secured by the anti-graft agency and any moment from now the property  may be placed under interim forfeiture as soon as preliminary investigation is concluded. Meanwhile, associates of the former minister were yet to refund the sum of $1.85 billion to government coffers. She was also reportedly indicted in N23.29 billion bribery to some INEC officials-not to mention billions other transactions she allegedly soiled her hands with. CNN had at a  time reported the return of $90 billion by her. All these hefty sums traced to one government official? The Expose News has been trying to reach her but to no avail.

Your Excellency sir, my most distinguished President and Commander-in-chief of the federal Republic of Nigeria, my beloved country; I bring you warm tidings sir. I have been compelled to write this open letter to you due to exigencies of the times and because all attempts by my humble self to see you has failed. Your Excellency sir, I am really angry and would not hide my feelings from you. While I welcome you back from your 71 st United Nations General Assembly trip, I would like to go straight to the point so as not to waste your precious time. I would also try as much as possible to stick within the ambit of the law. I also hope that you are in a good frame of mind to listen or paw through this “missive”—this is what we call it back in our secondary school days—to make light joke of a serious matter. Because of your obviously busy schedule, I would only address the specific issues: Road repairs, Power distribution, Indiscipline, Corruption and Accountability. Your Excellency s...

Bishop David Angel One of the Joshua Generation Ministries during his last birthday ceremony dancing with members of his church at the old premises in Gwarimpa, Abuja, Federal Capital Territory Below, Bishop David Angel is here celebrating his birthday with a church member  dancing happily. He is a new generation pastor who is being used mightily by the Almighty God to deliver people from satanic oppression, slavery and attacks from family idols.

In the sleepy suburb of Ketti, a settlement in Lugbe in the federal capital, Abuja, a young vibrant and formidable man of God, Bishop David Angel a.k.a Angel One has emerged. There, this unique prophetic and deliverance specialist variously nicknamed “Holy Ghost Apparatus” a.k.a Bazooka” is performing wonders causing earthquake in the satanic kingdom of darkness. Built after the mold of the grand-master in prophetic Ministrations, Prophet T. B Joshua, Bishop Angel One is spreading terror in the camp of enemies, tormenting the shrines of family idols and setting captives free! Still in his mid-thirties, the well trained and knowledgeable Bishop has succeeded in providing divine solutions to thousands of worshipers, quelling stubborn and recalcitrant-sometimes intractable problems. He is adept in dismantling powerful charms and releasing thousands of disconcerted people from chain-problems of stagnancy, unexplained setbacks, backwardness and not least protracted barrenness’. ...

President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday morning, 17 th September 2016, left the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport to attend the 71 st session of the United Nations General Assembly, UNGA. While in New York, the President would make Nigeria’s position known at the opening general debate session. He would also read a speech titled: “The sustainable Development Goals” a universal push to transform our world”. He would also deliver a keynote address titled “Taking climate Action Towards sustainable Development in Nigeria and the Lake Chad Basin”.. The president is also expected to attend other side events considered very important to Nigeria as well sign the Paris Agreement on climate change at the U.N General Assembly. However, an Abuja-based right advocacy group, Opinion Nigeria has written the global body, accusing President Muhammadu Buhari of inaction in the face of series of human rights violation in the country. The group cited the 6 th September 2016 Police blockade on ...

A spiritualist, elder Stephen Aidenoje, the lead General Overseer of the God Works Outreach Ministry in Edo state, Nigeria, has taken a hard look at the nation and what it would be like by the year 2046. “By that year, he began, “the intractable self induced problems of this country would cease to exist,” he declared. That is a mere thirty (30) years from now. The General Overseer said he drew his inspiration from the word of God in Isaiah 7 vs 11 wherein God said “ask thee a sign of the lord thy God, ask it either in the dept or in the height above . “He added again, 1st t Corinthians 9vs. 26” I therefore so run, not as uncertainly, so fight I, not as one that beateth the air” . He told the Expose News that he is not one to gamble. Citing 1st t Corinthians 12 vs 8-10 to booster his authority as one who does not speak in vain. He declared that by that year, Nigeria will be technologically driven and powered by alternate renewable energy sources with NEPA, a forgotten entity. H...

The news has emerged that barring any other development; Lagos State would by mid 2017 become less dependent on federal allocations! And according to information gathered by the Expose News, the brain child of this unprecedented development is no other than Governor Akinwumi Ambode, the youthful Governor of that coastal center of excellence. “Ambode is working hard to exorcise his state from federal allocations and this is very commendable. “Said Bernard Ziregbe, the CEO of intrinsic Marine and coastal services an oil and dredging conglomerate. “What I like most about Ambode is that he is opening up the state to innovations and technological advances,” the oil chief declared. “Lagos streets are bright at nights, thanks to electric bulbs, the roads are repaired, and now Ambode is about to clear the troublesome Apapa- Oshodi express road, “disclosed Mr. Ziregbe. The Port -Harcourt based oil guru then called for more support for the accountant-trained Governor to excel in all secto...

Dame Patience Jonathan, wife of former President Jonathan, exploits or rather escapades filled the air and print waves recently. True to biblical predictions ,“ All things done in the dark shall be brought to light ”. But the Expose News would not dwell on the enormity of the scandalous revelation but rather on the morality of the former first lady’s statement –that the money discovered was for her medical bills-and the EFCC shadow boxing exercise. The Expose News gathered that when the news broke out, Dame Patience came out boldly to say the $15 million lodged in four bank accounts was hers and they were meant for payment of her medical bills. But reporters of the Expose News who went to town to gauge public opinion were shocked at the responses of Nigerians interviewed. Here are some of the views expressed. “ That woman thinks Nigerians are fools and can be taken for a ride ”, said Dominic Igbadume, a newspaper vendor. From Doris Adukwe, a shop attendant in Garki shopping mall, ...

The Bizarre scenario playing out before our very eyes are classical examples of disdain, of deceit, of impunity, unprecedented treachery by our so called democratic leaders. Hidden behind the sultry curtains of officialdom and paraphernalia of office, these elected leaders without any shred of conscience, bereft of any morals and filled with obdurate pride conspire needlessly to loot our collective natural wealth. Under the unprincipled conspiracy of launching one phantom project or fighting a supposedly national cause, these brigands and their shadowy collaborators in sheer recklessness commit all manner of fraud, forgery under the presumed cover of darkness and shamelessly dash the hope of millions of law abiding hungry Nigerians. Like operating plutocracy... a government for the rich, by the rich and on behalf of the rich , leaving Nigerians between the devil and the deep brackish seas! Otherwise, how would anyone explain the circumstances? While bombers were threatening Abuja, t...

“When individuals steal N1billion and a group of people share $2.3billion, budgets become padded by law makers, Governors pocket billions of allocations meant   for State and Local Governments, no investment in infrastructure, repairs of roads, electricity, and water, what you get is recession”, declared one Mr. Smith Barkely, a Lagos based financial expert. He said there are no two ways to it; “ when militants go blowing oil wells, polluting the environment, destroying the commonwealth and driving away investors, the consequences are bound to be grave”, he told the Expose news. Mr. Barkely said that what is happening now should be considered as reality check for Nigeria. “No country can be bastardized for so long and be in good health”, he claimed. “When you have a gang of 5 people who could share $2.3 billion and are still bragging and walking the streets free with supporters hailing them, you don’t need to search further”, said Mr. Barkely. Another financial exp...

T he President, General Muhammadu Buhari, rtd, was reportedly stunned Monday morning of sallah day when the EFCC presented lists of corrupt forex dealers to him in his Aso Rock office: all of them were members of his present government! And the President exclaimed: “what”? He called the CBN governor asking and angrily asked him: “what’s all this nonsense”? By then it was too late: illicit trade in Forex had gone too far! And as the Emir of Kano had alleged, influential people in Buhari’s Government sit in their gardens and rake in billions, just because they had access to the CBN! But the CBN Governor was not alone; almost all the APC top hierarchies in Government were involved; their hands had been soiled by forex dealings and the President was not happy about it. When the Emir of Kano sounded the alarm, it was first treated as a joke; but now as the President discovered, a lot of water had crossed under the bridge! This development is no surprise however to political observers...

The classical and epic clash between two warring gladiators has been cleverly shifted-even temporarily.   When the story behind the scenes is eventually told, readers would see how the very diminutive and combative incumbent Governor Adams Oshiomole buckled under intense pressure of defeat. Citing security reasons, the nation’s supervisory body INEC announced the Polls shift to September 28, from the much hyped September 10. They said there were clear signs of security threats to the State. For an election that the All Progressive Congress had in their finger tips, the news caught many by surprise. At least a known majority from the camp of the APC did not find the news funny. But in reality, they were pleased. If what they heard from Oshiomole---that the opposition PDP had imported 8,000 militants to rig the election in their favor---was true, then he was right. But to political observers, that was as much laughable as it was a clear sign of fear! Throughout the build-up to ...

In the backdrop of the sad news that Nigeria has finally landed in recession with skyrocketing food prices and closure of major Airlines, the appeal by President Mohammadu Buhari to Nigerians for patience does not seem to hold water.  The reason is simple: Nigerians have exhausted their patience.  A report said: the appeal is patently misplaced and inherently shallow; regarded more as semantics, a contrived Public Relations Stunt bereft of human face.  “For 34 years, that’s what they have been saying; they struggle for political office and at the end when they get it, go to sleep”, charged Mr. Afe-Ikaghe, a Lagos based activists.  Now with a bag of beans rising from N18,000 to N27,000 and rice hitting N20,000 from N10,000 the time for handshake is over. Taking a hard look at the administrative performance of appointed officials, the activists became enraged: “The nation has been robbed, raped and forced into recession; they are never sincere, dishonest and unc...

Comrade Adams Oshiomole, former Nigeria Labour Congress leader and now Executive Governor of Edo State is not a man to take for granted.  As former labour leader, he staged organised resistance against unpopular Government policies in his hey days as labour leader and succeeded although most of the “roundtable talks” ended in cosmetic changes.  He was to ride on the crest of that popularity to political prominence. As Governor of the “heart beat of the nation”, the diminutive Comrade received overwhelming encomiums in his first four years because of the stellar performance he pulled up.  Long forgotten roads were overhauled and repaired.  Though he made media shows of them, the exercise was worth it: at least he was working. But the story changed in his second tenure; all the laudable projects stopped and stories emerged about diversion of State funds and amassing of debts to satisfy personal greed.  The man who insisted that “godfatherism” was dead a...

Douglas House, Imo State: The gods are obviously angry and trouble in brewing.  The problem is Owelle Rochas Okorocha, the Executive Governor of the State, who has proved to be the Achilles heels of the once vibrant – and cleanest State in Nigeria. A business mogul and philanthropist in his own right, the man and his troubling programmes is running aground Imo State – causing incalculable damages!  “These evil programmes are smoke screens designed to cover a well laid hidden agenda to pillage the State”, said an angry resident Nwachukwu Edede. Once regarded as the “toast of the people” who at the beginning sold a dummy that he was on what he called “rescue mission” the so-called “Owelle” has butchered practically all sectors of the State to the extent that the “gods” themselves are geared for a reprisal action. The crux of the matter is such that despite consistent allocation from the Federal Government, payment of 13% derivation and internally generated revenue...

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo who described the PDP as a dying Party last Saturday when self-imposed factional chairman of PDP visited him in his Abeokuta Hill Top mansion has been told to shut up! Giving the verdict in Lagos when contacted on phone was Comrade Femi Dosumu, Acting President of League of Patriotic Nigerians.  Comrade Dosumu who was visibly incensed by Obasanjo’s remarks declared: “Obadanjo is simply lucky that legal processes in Nigeria are upheld more in the breech, otherwise that man would be behind bars long ago”. Not done yet, Comrade Dosumu continued: “who is Obasanjo to keep talking about Nigeria’s affairs?  A man who arguably presided over the PDP affairs for over sixteen years? A man who revolutionalized corruption in the entire system?  He should be hiding himself in that his filthy Hilltop mansion”, he told the Expose News. The former President is no stranger to Nigeria’s Democratic process.  He first came to highlight at...

The plague did not come like a bolt from the sky; the warnings had been there all the time; and like it was in the biblical days of mene mene teke ufasin , those concerned – our leaders, ever loathing to nomocratic governance had continually turned deaf ears.  While the bonanza of lasted, they fed Nigerians with mumbo-jumbos, spewed forth platitudes; they became predatory-instead of servitude – and ad nausean plundered the lean resources of the Nation until the nunc dimittis! Meanwhile, in the interim, Nigerians were rocked to the bone marrows upon learning of the perfidies of their supposed masters; of Pandora’s boxes and failed promises. Let’s take a look at some of the foolish charades: the story of how some  principal officers allegedly received billions of naira in running cost allowances: Yakubu Dogara #1.5 billion ; Yusuf  Lasun #800 million; Femi Gbajabiamila  #1.2 billion; Bala Jubrin #1.2 billion; Alhassan Dogawa #1.2 billion; Pally Iriase #700 millio...

T he Inspector-General of Police Alhaji Ibrahim Idris Kpotum has been commended for his gallantry and instituting a new order in the Nigeria Police force since his assumption of office. Alhaji Idris was specifically commended for the commitment he has shown in refocusing and rejuvenating the Police force.   Making the commendation was Comrade James Erebuoye, President of the Concerned Nigerian Network in Diaspora while speaking to Journalists in Abuja, in Thursday, 2016.   Comrade James praised the IGP for placing premium on due process, probity, accountability and discipline.   He said these were the impediments to efficient performance and delivery of service.   “In a diverse country like ours, what we need is a man who can call a space a spade and also have the will to make positive changes”, he declared.   The Diaspora President, while also commending President Mohammadu Buhari for appointing the astute Police boss over and above his seniors calle...
