Buhari applauds Britain & Swiss support for recovery & repatriation of stolen funds in Nigeria
President Muhammadu Buhari Tuesday in Abuja applauded the renewed support from Britain and Switzerland for the recovery and repatriation of public funds stolen from Nigeria. At separate audiences with the new British and Swiss Ambassadors, who were at the Presidential Villa to present their letters of credence, President Buhari noted that British, Swiss and other foreign anti-crime agencies had already given his administration much help with relevant information and intelligence on public funds that were stolen and illegally transferred to personal bank accounts by officials of past administrations.
The President called, however, for the speeding up of the processes of investigation, prosecution and repatriation of Nigerian funds stolen by corrupt public officials and their accomplices.

‘Switzerland and Britain have been very helpful indeed in the recovery of our assets. But we must build on what we have started. It is also important to send a signal to the elite that it is no longer business as usual. I personally appreciate the efforts of Prime Minister David Cameron on this issue. He has honoured his commitments to us. He promised to support our government to build a strong and dynamic economy and he has been faithful to his words,’’ the President told the new British High Commissioner, Mr. Paul Arkwright.
Mr. Arkwright assured him of Britain's preparedness to give Nigeria the fullest possible support and assistance in the recovery of its looted resources.
‘‘We are most ready to help. We have a good team at the National Crime Agency (NCA) working with your Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. Tell us where and how we can help and we will provide the assistance,’’ the British High Commissioner assured the President.
President Buhari also welcomed assurances from the new Swiss Ambassador, Mr. Eric Mayoraz that his country will expedite action on the repatriation of millions of dollars stolen by Nigerian public officials and still held in Swiss Banks.
‘‘I am very pleased and we will get our Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to work with you to ensure that all the stolen funds are returned safely to government coffers as quickly as possible," the President told the Swiss Ambassador.
President Buhari also received the letters of credence of the Ambassador of the State of Palestine, Mr. Saleh Fhied Saleh, the Ambassador of Myanmar, Mr. Tha Aung Nyun and the Ambassador of Slovakia, Mr. Peter Holasek.

Fayemi says his nomination came as a surprise
"Well, to the extent that I was not told by the President that I was going to be on his list, yes, it came as a surprise. The President is a surprise master, let me put it that way. He did not tell anyone to the best of my knowledge and I would have thought that I was in vantage position to know more than others.
I was with him for five days before then, I was with him in New York at the United Nation General Assembly and he never said a word about his list to me nor to anyone else. We came back to Nigeria together, I was with him till 4:00pm on the evening he submitted the list to the President of the Senate and I didn’t have any clue of what is going to happen. So, to that extent I was pleasantly surprised.”he said
What is happening to Diezani is a tip of the iceberg- Oshiomole says
"For me I don’t think anybody should be surprised because the most favorable commentator on the Nigerian condition, on the economy, the polity and society, agree that our economy was badly managed over the past several years. I have not seen one commentator that disagrees. Even when they talk about rebasing and so what.
Have you rebased the level of poverty? Have you rebased prosperity? Have you rebased unemployment? Have you rebased homelessness? Have you rebased hunger? So I have not seen anyone that says Nigerian people are doing better. This was never my issue. I was only a spokesman of National Economic Council. But in this country when you speak out, all the arrows should be fashioned to attack you. But one of the things I learnt in life at the age of 17 when I got into the leadership of labour, is that the truth does not require supporters club. It can stand on its feet anyday. You can hit it. You can kick it. You can bomb it, but you can’t destroy it. The truth is that a lot of money was stolen and what you are seeing is just a tip of the iceberg, because when you imagine what accrues to Nigeria, consistently from 140 dollars, averaging 108 dollars over a long period of time and yet your treasury is empty. You were running a budget deficit, you were devoting 85 percent of your budget for four consecutive years on recurrent, you were borrowing and you draw the entire pensions fund. Yesterday I saw a lot of analysis on how pension funds should be invested on infrastructure."he said Oshiomole went further to react to claims tht the presidency had a hand in her arrest. "It’s not about who has hand in what. I think it’s about law and order. In other climes, institutions do their work. They are not at the beck and call of political authority. They have their mandate and the law specifies this and it is scrupulously followed. I’m the happiest person because I’ve been in government for seven years without being in power. I was in government, I couldn’t call a commissioner of police and talk as a security officer, I’m haunted by all manners of persons. You kill the snake in Edo, they will put the snake on life support in Abuja and they keep harassing us. Now all those venoms are dead and buried, for the first time I’m excited and happy not just for personal benefit, but for the changes I’m beginning to see.”he said
The World Will End Tomorrow - Christian Group Predicts
The group has told humanity to prepare itself for being "obliterated" by fire as soon as the clock strikes midnight.
The eBible fellowship, an online group for bible study, has published a series of lectures on Why October 7, 2015 is the Likely End of the Worl d.
Chris McCann, who leads the Philadelphia-based group told the Guardian : “According to what the Bible is presenting it does appear that 7 October will be the day that God has spoken of: in which, the world will pass away.”
McCann said that, according to his interpretation of the Bible, the world will be obliterated “with fire”, as God promised not to cause another flood on the scale as that which afflicted Noah.
Although his theories rely on a lot of dodgy maths, McCann's main message is that according to the Bible, the beginning of the process was on 21 May 2011, when God stopped the process of selecting which churchgoers will survive Wednesday’s carnage.
He has now finished the 1,600 day task of deciding which of the non-churchgoers will be taken into rapture - and the rest of us are now doomed.
Learning from earlier mistakes, such as that of his mentor the late Christian DJ Harold Camping, who said the world would end in May and then October 2011, McCann has involved an element of doubt.
“There’s a strong likelihood that this will happen.
“Which means there’s an unlikely possibility that it will not.”
The Facebook group has attracted a lot of people desperate for the world to end.
Onyeka Linnus commented: "Woow ....cant wait remains some hours to go,,how many are prepared? Remember 7th octomber".
But one reader Alan Stanier said what everyone else is thinking: "The Bible has not prophesied October 7, 2015, for the end of the world. Some people, seduced into the sin of pride by the lies of Beelzebub, have chosen to interpret the Bible as prophesying so.
"On October 8th, when the world is still here, they will be shown to be false prophets.
"I would like to think they will confess their sin, and admit their minds are not capable of understanding the Mind of the LORD. But I suspect they will merely choose another date."
