Like the removal of Nuhu Ribadu as Efcc czar, the appointment of retired (AIG), Farida Waziri as his permanent replacement is unpopular, and has been greeted with mixed reactions.

Every human desires a good and comfortable shelter. Most decent, honest and opulent people aspire to reside in million dollar homes, but for the Nigerian ex-military president, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida it costs a million dollars a year to maintain his personal hilltop residence in Minna, Niger State. If you think this a fluke, then ask Abdulkadir Kure, the former governor of Niger State. You might ask, why Kure? “Wetin concern agberoo with over load”.

One of the most illustrious sons of Owo, Ondo State, Nigeria Reverend Cannon Johnson Olajide Fagboygun passed on last week a cough away from his 83rd birthday. He died in London. In a nation where life expectancy is about 44 years according to the United Nation’s World Health Organization (WHO), it is worth celebrating when a loved one survives past four scores, more so if he/she lived a meritorious life. Fagboyegun was a foremost industrialist, community leader, “born-again” Christian, educator, philanthropist and an international financier. In addition, he was an uncle and a very good one.

Though she had Aliko`s backing, Mrs. Chigbue was a neophyte in the Nigerian political scene, not having a well-known image and the highly tasking nature of the post, she needed someone to take her to some powerful political circles for acceptability. Our findings revealed that Mallam Ibrahim Shehu Njiddah gladly offered to assist her. But no sooner than she found her feat; like a typical Machiavellian, she cut Njjidah (Director of Oil & Gas Dept) to size. Huhuonline.com gathered that Mrs. Irene Chigbue wielded an omnibus tyrannical stance after she had settled down. Every transaction BPE was involved in; Chigbue has to cut a deal. That has been her stock-in-trade said our source. To cover her tracks she allegedly played the ethnic card to the extreme. Strategic units like Media flair, Accounts and the most populous transactions are handled by staff from her ethnic background.

It was at that point that Aliko Dangote paid OBJ a visit in the Villa and as soon as he learnt about it he informed President Obasanjo that he (Dangote) knew of a ‘professional’ within BPE who could do the job. He gave the name as Irene Chigbue – whom he had met during the port concessions. With OBJ’s cosy relationship with Dangote, a deal was sealed and Dr. Andy Uba (A senior special assistant to the President was asked to call Chigbue to bring her CV). By March 05, 2005 Chigbue`s appointment as DG-BPE, was announced.

President Musa Yar`dua mantra since he assumed office in may 2007, has been the rule of law, which is another synonym for correct or the right procedure. So far, baba-go-slow has honored every court ruling, however, many violations of the law in Nigeria are not reported because people who know about them are terrified of retaliation. As livelihoods are dependent on jobs, the fear of losing a job is all-encompassing. Whenever the law provides a remedy for victims of retaliation, it encourages employees to come forward with evidence that will make Nigeria safer.

IF one described Timi Alaibe, the incumbent managing director of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) as a true son of the Niger Delta, one would not be very far from the truth, as he seems to have towed the footstep of past parochial leaders of the Niger-Delta, who kick and scream to whoever cares to listen, “We are deprived; we need fair share of the oil money, our farm lands are devoid of nutrient, our creek needs to be developed”.

Huhuonline.com can say that some thieving former governors (names withheld) , who are currently being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, may have taken to their heels, as the anti-graft agency closes in on them to avoid being arrested. But the irony of this mass migration of the ex-government officials is that they all seem to be acting out the same scripts as James Ibori and Lucky Igbinedion. The duo ran to the diaspora, at the outset of their brouhaha with the anti-graft agency, but took to their heels back to Nigeria, when international law enforcement focused their search light on them....

The deceptive pastor who has suddenly turned into a jack of all trades but a master of none, is desperate and in dire need of some real cash to repair his beat-up image.

Agreed every one is innocent until proven guilty, but common sense 101 which appears not so easy for James Ibori to grasp teaches that when a thief steals from the market place, he goes into hiding, until the terrain is safe for him to splurge, he does not go about thinking he is invisible, displaying his loot in the same market.
