Some years ago, the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital special project team approached the Deputy Senate President (Ike Ekweremmadu) to help them fast track the funding for a project in the Hospital though a government intervention prpject
He asked to submit their proposal
and they did, it was 400million for Renal Centre. The N400m was to build the structure, procure equipment and train few doctors abroad for renal transplant and other special renal emergency training
Ike Ekeremmadu asked them to double the money to N800m and the extra N400m will
be for him to facilitate the release of the funds
Ike Ekeremmadu later facilitated the release of 50% of the fund and diverted all of it even without the knowledge of UNTH
After waiting for so long, UNTH made contact and was told they should submit the progress report for
the project status in order to access the balance 50% alas they had nothing to show for the initial 50% and didn't even know that oga Deputy Senate President has a taken N400m and moved.
On May 5th this year, Ike Ekeremmadu will receive his jail sentence for trying to do a
kidney transplant in the UK foe her daughter whose kidney failed... we know the story
Ike Ekeremmadu pocketed N400m meant for building a Kidney Centre in his state where probably the daughter would have received a transplant without flying abroad and facing the stringent laws
Remember these 3 young Nigerians that was executed by the Buhari military administration for drug trafficking > Bernard Ogedegbe 29yrs > Bartholomew Owo 26yrs > Lawal Ojuolape 30yrs. Internet don't forget.
Remember Buhari jailed Journalists > Tunde Thompson and > Nduka Irabo
for their reportage of his actions on the execution of the drug traffickers..
Remember in 2019 Buhari said to the drug traffickers "when you are caught blame yourself.. Vanguard News 21st may 2019
Remember also Buhari said War on drug more deadly than
Insurgency and Banditry ~Punch News 26th June 2021.
Today❗ #Buhari is faced with moral and integrity issues to hand over power to a convicted Drug Baron in May 29th 2023.. The international community are watching, we are also watch to see how that will be a possibility.
Today is one week we completed an attempt to show mugu politicians that power actually belong to the people.
If not for anything, at least Peter Obi's disruptive innovative politics has rattled the so-called godfathers, and Nigerians have seen that they can elect their leaders.
Nigeria is a shithole because its leaders were not elected by the people. No one acquires political power through fraudulent means and use it to do public good. It has never happened anywhere.
Meanwhile, within 8 months, with no structure, and no "Ghana-must-go" bags, see the
results: 1 Governor
8 Senators
36 House of Rep members
68 State of Assembly members.
Although, the results could have been better if Labour Party didn't contest against INEC. My happiness is that we've dealt with Igbo mugu politicians who believe that politics is not local, but
The prosecutor, Hugh Davies KC, told the court the Ekweremadus and Obeta had treated the man and other potential donors as “disposable assets – spare parts for reward."
He said they entered an “emotionally cold commercial transaction” with the man, The Guardian UK report added.
The behaviour of Ekweremadu showed “entitlement, dishonesty and hypocrisy”, Davies told the jury.
He said Ekweremadu “agreed to reward someone for a kidney for his daughter – somebody in circumstances of poverty and from whom he distanced himself and made no inquiries, and with
whom, for his own political protection, he wanted no direct contact."
Ike Ekweremadu's family is being stripped naked in a UK Court.
Text messages between him and his wife are being read in court. The court has their communications. His wife has already admitted to the jury that the family lied and that David Nwamini (the supposed potential donor)
was Sonia’s maternal cousin.
While I'm sad that an Igbo man could fall mugu to the colonial bandits, I've zero sympathy for Ekweremadu. Besides, he acted in a disdainful way towards Nwamini.
For instance, he was asked why he didn't feel it was necessary to speak to Nwamini at any
point. Ekweremadu said he didn't want to influence the boy's decision, so he wanted the transplant to be over before meeting him in Abuja.
We all know this is a fat lie. Ike showed a lot of disdain to a boy who agreed to donate his kidney to save his daughter to the point,
Obviously, APC spokespersons are very concerned that Peter Obi has said he is challenging the electoral PROCESS of Feb 25. They definitely know the danger of scrutinizing a compromised process. But of course, they are all over the place trying to pooh-pooh the idea, making it
look like challenging the process is unnecessary and a wild goose chase. Funny thing is, they sound so characteristically st00pid while at it. Because, how do you give your opponents tips on how to defeat you?
Peter Obi is challenging the process.
In a marathon, for instance, it's by challenging the process that the athlete who won by using Okada to get to the finish line would be relieved of the prize. This athlete didn't just use Okada, he took unofficial routes aided by the umpire, and knocked many spectators down
“One evening my mother made dinner after a hard day's work. She put a plate of eggs, salad and burnt toast in front of my father.”
“I immediately noticed, the burnt toast .... And, I was waiting to see if he was going to complain about it, but my
father started to eat them, smiling and asked me how I spent my day at school.
My mom apologized to my dad for the burnt toast. I will never forget his response to her: "Honey, I love burnt toast!"
Later when I went to bed and my dad came over to kiss me goodnight, I asked him
if he really liked the burnt toast?
He hugged me and said, "Your mother has had a difficult day and she is really tired. She went out of her way to prepare this meal for us, why blame her and hurt her.
Burnt toast never hurt anyone; but words can be very painful! "
