Update On Mallam Sanusi Sex Scandal With Married Woman Update On Mallam Sanusi Sex Scandal With Married Woman Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Governor of Nigeria's Central Bank , appears unable to shake off a report that he funneled Nigeria's scarce resources to Maryam Yaro, a married mistress whom he gave a job at the bank he oversees. The scandal, in which Sanusi was accused of abusing his office in order to advance an amorous relationship with a woman, broke last week. What is going on underground about the sex scandal? Details below… Sources told Sahara Reporters that Premium Times has been under intense pressure from associates of the CBN Governor since the expose was published.

Diezani Refunds 90 Billion Dollar CNN Confirmed

Diezani Refunds 90 Billion Dollar CNN Confirmed I start to imagine what a normal human being would ever need 13 Billion British Pounds that’s 27 trillions of Naira for in this limited world, which if divided according to the equivocal population of Nigerians 170,000,000 people each person will get over N158 millions. I wonder if former President GEJ could imagine that only one out of his ex-Ministers could steal such a stupendous amount under his administration without his knowledge. Wonders shall never end! In reference to the CNN report that the former Minister has made a refund of $90B already, how much is Dangote worth? As at today Dangote is worth $14.7B and the 67th in the world while Bill Gates was the 2nd with $ 79.2 on the Forbes list. Diezani is simply a wonder. Old pensioners are dying of hunger daily, Insurgency is consuming lives of innocent Nigerians, workers are no longer getting their salaries as at when due, Government can no longer build infrastruc

$1.1billion Fraud: British Judge questions Jonathan’s integrity, stops Etete from getting N17 billion A British Judge on Tuesday refused to release $85 million (N17 billion) to Malabu, a fraudulent company controlled by Nigeria’s former petroleum minister, Dan Etete. In refusing to release the money to Malabu, Justice Edis of the Southwark Crown Court declared that he was not sure the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan acted in Nigeria’s interest when it approved the transfer of the money to Malabu. “I cannot simply assume that the FGN which was in power in 2011 and subsequently until 2015 rigorously defended the public interest of the people of Nigeria in all respects,” the judge ruled. PREMIUM TIMES had reported how the Jonathan administration controversially approved the transfer of $1.092 billion from Nigeria’s JP Morgan account in London to Nigerian accounts controlled by Malabu. The money was paid by global oil giants, Shell and ENi, for Africa’s richest
