Well there you have it! As someone rightfully said, the lunis are really running the nut house. UNBELIEVEABLE!! Here we are in a country that nothing the hell works, and now to crown it all we're being threatened by kidnappers and militants. Now we hear what our so called leaders are up to with their greedy selves.What can I say? Thats my Naija for you. War-ra-mess !!

this is very shameful and gusting that an experinced and knowledgeable person like sam could stoop so low to bring shame to the people of the Nigern delta.
with all these stories of scandalous misappriation and burning to ashes of millions of naira, what moral do we have to ask for increased derivation or the much taunted resource control?

WHAT A SHAME

Mr C I feel the same way. How can they even move that much cash without raising red flags. Hell you cannot move over 10,000 dollars in the US without raising a red flag. This is cash money not like purchasing something. The whole system is a mess

Jeremy, you dare to insult the "Henglish"? They will soon sic Ogah on you for elimination purposes.

IYPM is a prime example of what is wrong with Akwa Ibom and that region. They have taken a bribe to say nice things about a man that has stolen from them. A man who could have used the money he was entrusted with to provide basic education, healthcare and more. Things that will secure the future of the people who's interest he is supposed to protect.

It is interesting to note that the "activists" (too many acronyms to remember)from the Niger Delta have not commented on this. Or maybe I am not reading enough newspapers.

Ok, maybe I'm just naive or unschooled, but can someone please explain to me how it is possible to burn N270m without causing an inferno??? In any case, N270m is a truckload of money - how did they get it to the cemetery? They must have needed a bullion van just to get the cash there. And once they got it there, how did they set it ablaze and how long did the fire have to burn for before all the cash turned to the ashes that were supposedly rubbed on Edem's body?

Somehow, this is just not adding up for me. Methinks the Baba Alawo is exagerrating for effect, perhaps for the purpose of making sure that Edem goes down like a ton of bricks. Don't get me wrong, I'm not implying that the two of them did not engage in the alleged nefarious practices - I am simply saying that the amounts being thrown around (mainly by the so-called baba alawo) are too fantastic to be believed by any right-thinking person. I repeat, it just doesnt add up.

Clearly now that the game is up, the Baba alawo is singing like a canary, or "confessing like a witch" as the case may be, but I think we should take his words with a heap of salt and perhaps even some maggi & thyme. Haba!!

What a load of bollocks!!!

Dis one i no fit just talk.

Tomorrow u will see Nigeria on CNN when they are talking abt poverty, and a creature will burn 270millon.
Tomorrow children will not go to school because they have no classrooms, no books & their teachers haven't been paid.

Yet, these so called leaders parade themselves. I wonder how they sleep @ night.

wtf!!

Waffi,

Are you kidding me? After one pastor for one small church cast all the castables and bind all the bindables, Mr. NDDC will proclaim that he is finally free from the stranglehold of the powers of darkness. He will open his own church sef. Police go get their share. For the masses, Austerity Continua!

"We are still investigating the case and I am confident that we will get to the root of the matter,"

Which root? Fowl yansh done open finish and this guy is talking about root.

As for the bad english, I don't blame the reporter o jare. Can any body really wrap this story around their minds? Not to mention expressing it. This matter no be wetin mouth dey fit talk finish. Even Fela was dumbfounded. Why do you think he termed Naija's problem the case of a deadbody getting an accident? Go figure.

One last thing, did you guys see the way they were mentioning millions like its a "to be" verb? How do you burn 270 fucking million naira to ashes? After, people go talk say na aid Africa need.

Confusion, my people, has really broken bone!

Nigeria...why now? Why?

I am not even going to bother getting upset...whats the use? I can only laugh at this so blatant fact that we have illiterate bush pigs as leaders.

Thunder fire all of them.

Na wa oh! These people only use millions. He burnt =N=270 million. Where the hell did he lay his hands on that volume of cash? I am speechless.
