...I simply love the scenes at newspaper stands…i even witnessed another this morning on my way to the office...the argumenrs, the shouts, sometimes the fights…you get to hear different opinions almost making you believe thats the truth... …and I ask myself sometimes, where are these foks when elections for the national assembly are being conducted??? ok,lets for a second assume some of these folks dont like the dirty game or the complexities of politics, what about becoming pastor(s)? Cos these folks are good orators and i just wonder...
...Nigeria is one place where the common man knows how perfectly to rule the nation and the one in power simply has no idea how to even rule his own family…how ironic…Anyway…folks, its different strokes for different folks like they say...
No doubt over the last few days, its been the Nigerian banks with its regulator, CBN…the story keeps getting exciting with the twists and knots…for me, this is one story I think Nollywood should be interested in…am certain chimamanda Adichie will also find it suitable for her next book while African China should be able to put some beats and sounds into it for a chart buster…but then, what title could we possibly give it especially if you are going to write it as a blog post???
…hmnn…loading…loading…loading…ok…title loading…loading…
I beg, make we forget title go straight to the point jare'e

She is being accused of using a company, Project wave Nigeria Limited owned initially by her children and later handed over to her former domestic aide to launder 15billion naira which was taken out of the bank coffers under suspecius circumstances and transferred abroad.

O. Ibru and one Simpson Okoro by 2007, the Ibru’s relinquished their ownership to Nana Bendell and Dele Oye. Nana‘s real name is Nana bendell while her marital name is Abdulahi.
However, to facilitate the movement of cash through facilities from Oceanic bank, Ibru allegedly opened five different files for Nana, her former domestic aide with five diefferent names; the names used by Mrs. Ibru for Nana Bendell includes - Nana Abdulahi Bendell, Nana Shetu Bendel, Nana Shetu Priscilla N. Abdulahi and Nana Udenwa.
With this names, Ibru was alleged to have taken out over 15billion naira on the pretext of facilities extended to the company owned by the various names.
At one point, Mrs. Ibru withdrew the cash of 47million naira from the bank coffers and made cash payment of 247 million naira into Nana’s account. Another 78million was also recorded to be made from the same account.
