Till Then

@dwebmaster1 @instablog9ja Na why them dey call Una mumu aboki ! It’s 42!

@instablog9ja 80 yrs

What is the correct answer?

@Omojuwa lol so amaechi is more relevant than obi ?? Na the new format dem don send make Una come spread loool !! Una really dey fear this obi : kwankwaso.. Shebi it will favour you guys in APC so why the worry ??🤣🤣 Barcelona coach wan tell Real Madrid coach how to pick team.. 🤣🤣

Kwankwaso’s got more political pedigree and a much better and verifiable record as governor than Peter Obi. I understand Obidients being excited. Kwankwaso, atop a ticket with Obi as VP candidate, will help to give the pairing the sort of political gravitas Obi atop wouldn’t. Atiku and Amaechi remain major factors too.

@realFFK Na now you guys remember youth ? You are calling on God for the evil going on .. you have failed ! Germany rejected you , Nigerians will reject all of you

SURELY THEY SHALL GATHER.... It is clear that the strategy of the opposition is to spread fake news in the media in order to create tension and panic in the ranks of the Government and the ruling party, knock our heads together, create dissection in our ranks and plant doubts in our minds about our ability to win. Every day they come up with something new like the fake news about the Governor of Nassarawa state working for Atiku. Tomorrow it will be someone else. The space is getting heated up now and judging by their level of desperation and their inclination for disinformation those of us that are in the APC and that are supporting President Tinubu must close ranks and brace ourselves for the mother of all struggles in 2027. The Holy Bible says "surely they shall gather but it shall not be of me. Whosoever gathers against thee shall be scattered for thy sake". On its own part the Holy Koran says "surely they are planning but Allah is the greatest planner of all". No matter how many local collaborators and traitors with the help of their foreign friends that are trying to destablise our Government and country and set us on fire one thing remains clear, light cannot be overcome by darkness and evil cannot prevail over good. I have no doubt that despite the fact that they are gathering together more and more each day we shall surely overcome. What we need to do is to get our act together, prepare our battle formations and rise up to the occassion by bringing some of our youngest, brightest and most courageous youths into the fray and the forefront of the fight. By Gods grace the President shall be re-elected in 2027 and Nigeria shall continue to go from strength to strength. God wills it! (FFK)

@Waspapping_ You don’t determine anything ! They will give them the ticket and they will win … the new gig in thier WhatsApp group , obi and kwankwaso will not this and that .. Shey you wan to teach opposition how to win ??🤣🤣 face your party !

I dare ADC to give Peter Obi/Kwankwaso their party ticket If this happens , they’re not going to win a single state in the north

@OzorNdiOzor Star boy !! Na celebrity to politicians

Atiku didn’t even flinch. Meanwhile, If you watched more than 4 times to observe every eye contact, let’s gist in the CS

@itee800 @gabriel_bolatit @oku_yungx Abacha was a good president! Na media them use turn am to bad person. All his decision favoured Nigerians . Obi don get ticket already , them don agree to give am

@til_theng @gabriel_bolatit @oku_yungx No one see bad governance pass northern Muslims. You think they send? They just want their brother there. Till today, they revere Abacha o. You go understand core Northerners soon. Primaries dey around the corner

Peter Obi X Rabiu Kwankwaso 🔴✅ What is the slogan?

@itee800 @gabriel_bolatit @oku_yungx That’s why I said you still dey back ! Even your mentality still dey back ! Shey the hunger no dey beat Muslims…at this point nobody dey consider tribe . Na kick APC out

@til_theng @gabriel_bolatit @oku_yungx You go cry las las. If you think Muslims in the North are assembling to give ticket to an Igbo man, you never understand Naija 😂

@alouibrahim92 @BashirAhmaad Where is the evidence ??? Word of mouth does not work in court ! The same way I can say I fly at night .. you won’t believe me until I show you .. leave emotions and face reality

Lawyers in the house, is there a statute of limitation on the crime of armed robbery?

@BashirAhmaad You are a fool ! After calling them to arrest the person speaking up !! U did not call the authorities to go after the people ?? Idiot ! Empty brain

Those behind the attack on innocent people in Jos yesterday are pure terrorists and our enemies. The authorities must swiftly identify them, hold them accountable and ensure they face the full weight of the law.

@BashirAhmaad You are mad !! What is the evidence that you have against him .. because he is saying the truth ..! Just look at this ones mentality .. they should arrest him and leave gumi Abi ?? You will not call for the arrest of people that committed crime is that person that is speaking up

This is a strong call on the relevant authorities to urgently look into the activities of this young foreigner, Alex Barbir, who has been moving around openly, spreading hate and attempting to incite violence against Nigerians of diverse backgrounds. The authorities should take swift and lawful steps to investigate, apprehend, where necessary and ensure accountability to safeguard peace, unity and public order.

@gabriel_bolatit @oku_yungx You still dey back .. the ticket don sure already !

@oku_yungx What if he did not get the party ticket? What is the plan B?

@jidesanwoolu Looool !🤣😂 poor at everything!

Today, we marked the 74th birthday of His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, by sharing food packs with residents across Lagos. We reached people in communities across the state including at Chapel of Christ the Light and Lagos State Central Mosque. It was a simple way to celebrate while also supporting families at this time. I also shared a personal message with Lagosians, reflecting on the President’s leadership and the journey we are on as a nation. I know the past months have not been easy but I believe we are beginning to see progress. In Lagos, we continue to build on the strong foundation he laid and it remains an important part of our story today.

@Official_Oye @instablog9ja Get out ! Even if obi join hell fire party we go vote for am

@instablog9ja It’s still annoying that PO left the Labour Party. Even if PO is made the presidential candidate for ADP, we will not vote, because they just want to use his GLORY in that new party.

“Peter Obi wanted to be president but ran away when crisis hit LP” — Wike says at PDP national convention

@instablog9ja SEPLAT boys looking at you like 🤨🤨.. na those rubbish course our parents make us study for school go make u think like that .. Geologist , reservoir engineers , rough neck for oil rigs , pipeline engineers collect pass that one for naija ..

Media personality Morris claims no 9–5 job pays ₦32 million annually without highly specialized skills

@TheSerahIbrahim Peter obi is too formal for Nigeria ! Tell him to mention names , take shot at people .. you cant be Nigeria and be acting British !! Imagine he writes about this convention and blast all of them with names . Baba wan rule Nigeria and e still dey fear

Whenever I post my football rants or my random tweets, I get so many views but whenever I tweet about Peter Obi, the views don’t even do up to 20k And I’ve been noticing less views on Peter Obi’s handle too There’s definitely something going on from the govt but we will overcome.

@Judaeda3 They will still not work! All you do is complain Atleast try and compete !

Take your wife and children back to Nigeria; you are not bringing any skills to South Africa but rather taking up space for unemployed South Africans to work.

@asemota Lool it’s clear you don’t understand the game .. most of the properties owned in London they don’t know the real owners . They are owned by trust and shell in countries that don’t disclose owners. Countries like st kitts , Nevis , cayman island, Panama, Bahamas ,cook island !

The last set of people you would want to mess around with are UK financial crime investigators. Nobody in their right mind would do shady business with London as the location to keep the assets that are proceeds of crime. People who carry rumors should realize that a professional accountant who rose to be a GTBANK Executive Director and later CEO and owner of his bank is very different from an anyhow banker or an Agbero politician. Herbert and Aig were shrewd and hard businessmen. They cut us out of a $100m deal we brought to them once and I kept my distance after that but we could not fault them because it was by the book. We couldn’t be part of the deal as we were not a financial institution. People that knew us from home and from wearing pants did not break the law to cut us into a deal we brought to them and someone will think that they would be doing careless shady property deals?? Second base jare.

@asemota @DegenX_arb lol I’m sure you guys did not read the original article .. 36,000 properties were registered to 1 address in jersey.. jersey is under uk crown. So the new law mandated beneficial owners must be listed . Other country shell don’t disclose beneficial owner thats why the Rich use it

@DegenX_arb @til_theng Simple

I am tired of all this meaningless speculation without facts, and of tarnishing the image of someone who worked very hard to build his assets. Since people would assume I am biased because Herbert was like my brother, I asked Claude about the likelihood of someone owning 106 houses as a beneficial owner in London. To be clear, Late Herbert Wigwe was discovered to be a "Beneficial Owner" and NOT a nominee. I know younger people who already legally own about half of that asset portfolio, and they are still working professionals. A doctor I know owns 45 assets around England, but not concentrated in London, and many Indians like him own many more properties than 100. For a banker who has worked for decades to own assets worth about 100 million pounds is not strange. The problem is that he didn't diversify the holdings for some reason. Since I know him very well, the likely reason is that he felt London was the safest place to own those assets, since his mentors and role models had already done the same. To be clear: The fact that investigators identified him as the beneficial owner suggests they traced the economic benefit to him: the money flows, the decision-making authority, the enjoyment of the assets. Here is Claude's full answer below: When a Nigerian Banker Dies and Is Discovered as the Beneficial Owner of 106 London Houses What "Beneficial Owner" Means Here In English property law, the beneficial owner is the person who truly owns the property in substance — they enjoy the rental income, the capital gains, and the proceeds on sale. The legal title may sit with someone else entirely: a nominee company, a solicitor, a family member, or a shell entity. But the beneficial owner is the real owner in the eyes of equity and, increasingly, in the eyes of enforcement agencies. If this banker was discovered to be the beneficial owner of 106 London houses, it means the properties were held in his interest by others. He was not the trustee. He was the principal. The names on the Land Registry were his proxies. Could He Still Have Been Holding Them in Trust for Others? It is theoretically possible but structurally unlikely at this scale. Here is why. A beneficial owner can, in principle, declare himself a trustee over assets he beneficially owns — creating a sub-trust where he holds his beneficial interest for yet another layer of people. But this is unusual in practice for several reasons. First, the entire point of using proxies and nominee structures is to keep the real owner hidden. Adding another trust layer beneath the beneficial owner adds complexity that serves little purpose unless there is a specific tax, succession, or concealment reason. Second, if he were merely a conduit for others, those others would typically be identified as the beneficial owners in the first place — not him. The fact that investigators identified him as the beneficial owner suggests they traced the economic benefit to him: the money flows, the decision-making authority, the enjoyment of the assets. Third, the defence of "I was just holding for someone else" is the single most common claim made by politically exposed persons when their assets are discovered. Courts and enforcement agencies treat it with deep scepticism, particularly when the claim surfaces only after death or after an investigation begins, when there is no contemporaneous written trust documentation, when the supposed beneficiaries cannot be clearly identified, or when the pattern of acquisition, management, and income collection points to a single controlling mind. The More Likely Reality A Nigerian banker who is the beneficial owner of 106 London properties, held through nominee structures, fits a pattern that UK enforcement agencies now know well. Properties were acquired over years or decades, often during periods of access to significant financial flows. Legal title was placed with nominees — sometimes UK-registered companies, sometimes family members or associates, sometimes offshore vehicles — to avoid detection by Nigerian regulators like the EFCC and the CBN, and to stay below the radar of UK authorities. The beneficial owner controlled everything: which properties to buy, how to finance them, who managed them, where the rental income went. The nominees were not independent trustees exercising discretion. They were instruments of the beneficial owner's will. At the scale of 106 properties — potentially representing £25 million to over £100 million depending on location — this is not casual wealth diversification. This is a systematic programme of asset accumulation in a jurisdiction perceived as safe, liquid, and opaque. What Happens Now That He Has Died His death creates a cascading set of problems. The estate enters probate, and the executors or administrators must account for all assets in which the deceased had a beneficial interest — not just those in his name. If investigators or HMRC have identified him as beneficial owner of 106 properties, those properties are part of his taxable estate regardless of whose name is on the title. Inheritance tax at 40% applies to the value above the nil-rate band, which could mean a tax liability running into tens of millions of pounds. HMRC will investigate whether rental income from these properties was ever declared for UK income tax. If it was not, the estate faces back taxes, interest, and penalties that could stretch back 20 years under the discovery assessment rules. The National Crime Agency may issue Unexplained Wealth Orders requiring the estate to demonstrate that the properties were acquired with legitimately obtained funds. The burden of proof is on the estate, not on the NCA. If the estate cannot provide a credible explanation for the source of funds used to acquire 106 properties, the NCA can seek civil recovery under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 on the balance of probabilities. Anyone who served as a nominee or legal titleholder may themselves face scrutiny for facilitating the concealment of beneficial ownership, particularly under the new Register of Overseas Entities regime and the evolving UK anti-money laundering framework. The Trusteeship Defence in Context If family members, associates, or other claimants now come forward asserting that some of these properties were actually held by the deceased in trust for them, they face a brutal dilemma. To claim, they must identify themselves and explain their own source of funds. They must produce trust documentation — ideally contemporaneous, written, and consistent with the actual pattern of property management. They must explain why the arrangement was structured to conceal their interest. And they must do all of this under the scrutiny of agencies that are specifically looking for exactly this kind of claim as evidence of a wider network of concealed wealth. The absence of clear, contemporaneous trust deeds is almost always fatal to such claims. And even if documentation exists, enforcement agencies will examine whether the trusts were genuine — meaning the trustee actually acted in the beneficiaries' interests and the beneficiaries had real control — or whether they were shams designed to create a paper trail. The Bottom Line When someone is identified as the beneficial owner of 106 London houses, the default inference is that they were genuinely his. The nominee structures existed to hide him, not to hide someone behind him. The trusteeship defence — "I was holding for others" — is available in theory but treated with heavy scepticism in practice, especially when it is raised posthumously, at scale, and in the context of a politically exposed person from a jurisdiction with well-documented patterns of illicit capital flight into London property. The real question is not whether he was holding for others. The real question is where the money came from.

@asemota This how politicians will tell you , go and check I own no asset .. wigwe name was not meant to come out but a new law in uk stated names must be disclosed on each shell . Billionaires purchase properties with shell companies never in thier name..watch YouTube about shell &learn

@til_theng I guess you need more legal education. Beneficial ownership means the person who gets ECONOMIC BENEFIT and not who registered the company. Those assets were acquired with different entities.

@DegenX_arb @asemota Guy go and read about shell companies .. what started this whole leak was a company in jersey that they used as shell. One person can register and use it buy property for 2000 people. It’s a billionaire playbook on hiding wealth. Just read or watch YouTube on shell companies

@asemota @til_theng If he's named as the beneficial owner, it means that in reality he owns the assets and controls/determines whatever happens to them regardless of the mechanism of its acquisition.
