In 1977, when Britain broke diplomatic relations with Uganda, Idi-Amin declared he had defeated the British and added "CBE" (Conqueror of the British Empire) to his title. Radio Uganda then announced his entire title: "His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Alhaji Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, CBE, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular."

Iranian airstrikes have damaged or destroyed at least 228 structures across bases or sites used by the U.S. military since the war began, hitting hangars, barracks, fuel depots, aircraft, and key radar, communications and air defense equipment, according to a Post analysis of satellite imagery. The amount of destruction is far larger than what has been acknowledged by the U.S. government or previously reported. For this examination, The Post reviewed more than 100 high-resolution Iranian-released satellite images. The Post verified the authenticity of 109 of those images by comparing them with lower-resolution imagery from the European Union’s satellite system, Copernicus, as well as high-resolution images from Planet, a major U.S. commercial provider, when available. A military spokesperson disputed the characterization of base damage by experts as extensive or evidence of failures, saying assessments of destruction are complex and can be misleading in some cases, but declined to provide specifics.

THE VULTURE IN PARIS A Convicted Money Launderer, a Terrorism Database, and the African Presidents Who Keep Rewarding Him By Kio Amachree | Worldview International #Chagoury #VultureInParis #TinubuChagoury #NigeriaCorruption #MoneyLaundering #StateCapture #NoElectricity #AfricaExploited #WorldviewInternational #KioAmachree #AccountabilityNow He has a gallery at the Louvre. His name adorns a medical school in Lebanon. He gives to the Catholic Church. He has photographs with cardinals, heads of state, and a former American president's wife. He calls himself an Ambassador. He calls himself a philanthropist. His name is Gilbert Ramez Chagoury. He is 81 years old. He lives in Paris. And he has spent five decades doing to Africa what vultures do to the dead — circling, descending, and picking the carcass clean. While Nigerian children sit in darkness tonight — no power, no prospects, the generator long since silent because petrol costs what their parents cannot earn — Chagoury's construction empire is being handed the contracts that should be building their future. While mothers in Lagos boil water to sterilise wounds because the hospital has no power, Chagoury's family enjoys residences in Paris, Beverly Hills, and Victoria Island. While Nigeria borrows billions at punishing interest rates to fund an infrastructure deficit a generation in the making, Tinubu awards his most treasured friend contract after untendered contract — without competitive bidding, without transparency, without shame. This is not business. This is extraction dressed in a suit and given a diplomatic title. Who He Really Is: The Criminal Record Africa Keeps Forgetting Let us begin where journalism must — with the documented facts. In the 1990s, Chagoury set up accounts at SG Ruegg Bank in Geneva for the Abacha family, enabling them to benefit from illegal transfers of over $120 million from the Central Bank of Nigeria. He vouched for Abacha's sons at banks where the source of their assets might otherwise have been questioned — serving as a reference for the family at Credit Suisse. The money Abacha looted — estimated at more than $4 billion — was stashed in Switzerland, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, and the Isle of Jersey. In 2000, Chagoury was convicted in Geneva, Switzerland of money laundering and aiding a criminal organization. The stolen money was Nigerian public money. The people he helped were a kleptocratic military dynasty. He paid a fine of 1 million Swiss francs and returned $65 million to Nigeria. The conviction was later expunged under a plea arrangement. Sixty-five million dollars returned. And he walked away with the rest of the fortune. That was only the beginning of his legal odyssey. Chagoury was fined $1.8 million by the United States Department of Justice after conspiring with associates to make illegal campaign contributions to at least four political candidates between June 2012 and March 2016. A foreign national, illegally buying American political access. It cost him less than a rounding error on his net worth. Then came the most explosive allegation of all. Chagoury was denied a visa to enter the United States amid a review of his ties to Hezbollah. The U.S. government alleged he gave financial support to Lebanese politician Michel Aoun, whose party was in political coalition with Hezbollah, and that those funds were transferred onward to the terrorist organisation. In 2010, he was pulled off his private jet in New Jersey and detained for several hours after FBI agents discovered his name on a recently updated no-fly list. Read that again. The man Bola Tinubu calls "valued and treasured" — the man awarded Nigeria's second-highest national honour — was pulled off a private jet by the FBI and placed on America's terrorism screening database. Chagoury denies the Hezbollah allegations and has legally contested them. But the FBI, CIA, Department of Homeland Security, and National Counter-Terrorism Center all maintained the designation in their databases. The United States of America, whatever its own sins, does not place men on terrorism no-fly lists lightly. The Continent as a Business Plan: Country by Country What makes Chagoury uniquely dangerous is not his criminal record. It is his method. He does not simply bribe — he embeds himself. He finds presidents. He befriends them, advises them, funds their ambitions. He makes himself indispensable. Then the contracts come. Nigeria. The largest prize. The richest soil. The most people to exploit. He attached himself to Sani Abacha's regime and laundered its stolen wealth. When Abacha died, he pivoted — eventually finding his most profitable relationship yet in Bola Tinubu, whom he began cultivating when Tinubu was Governor of Lagos. In 2007, Tinubu's administration granted Chagoury's group title to roughly 10 million square metres of coastal land — the site that later became Eko Atlantic City. That was the beginning. Under Tinubu's presidency, the gifts have been staggering. In 2024, his Hitech Construction Company was awarded the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway project, valued at up to $11 billion, without a public competitive bid. In early 2025, ITB Construction Nigeria was selected to refurbish the Tin Can and Apapa ports under a contract worth approximately N1.1 trillion — despite what critics described as limited experience in seaport construction. Then came the Snake Island Port terminal — a 45-year concession, building a container terminal expected to cost up to $1 billion. Three contracts. No competitive bidding. Billions of dollars. One man. While Chagoury secures these contracts, Abuja's public schools are shuttered, workers are unpaid, and land once reserved for education and community use is quietly being reallocated to insiders. And the corruption is dynastic. Tinubu's son Seyi sits on the board of one of Chagoury's companies, while also being a joint shareholder in a British Virgin Islands entity alongside Gilbert's son, Ronald Chagoury Jr. Father and son, on both sides. Two families. One country's treasury between them. Benin. Chagoury served as economic adviser to President Mathieu Kérékou — a military ruler who governed Benin for a total of 29 years. During his era, Lebanese businessmen dominated the economy, controlling imports from textiles to automobiles to toothpaste. For his service, Kérékou awarded Chagoury the Ordre National du Benin with the rank of Commander. Kérékou's successor Boni Yayi then also invited Chagoury to advise him in 2006. Two presidents. One adviser. One direction of wealth flow — out. Chad. In 2005, the President of Chad awarded Chagoury the Ordre National du Tchad at the rank of Commander — again, for "services rendered to Chad in particular and Africa in general." What services? The question is never satisfactorily answered. The pattern is always the same: proximity to power, followed by a national honour, followed by access. Rwanda. In 2017, President Paul Kagame presented Chagoury with yet another national honour — for playing a role in fostering ties between Rwanda and the Vatican at a time when relations were difficult. The Vatican, conveniently, is where Chagoury serves as ambassador — not for any African nation, but for Saint Lucia, a small Caribbean island 9,000 kilometres away. Saint Lucia. This is perhaps the most cynical arrangement in Chagoury's entire playbook. Since 1995, he has served as Ambassador and Permanent Delegate of Saint Lucia to UNESCO in Paris, funding the entire mission at his own expense. He later became Saint Lucia's Ambassador to the Holy See in 2005, and also represents the country at the UN Office in Geneva. In 2015, he was awarded the Saint Lucia Cross, the country's highest civilian honour. Saint Lucia's own citizens asked publicly what Chagoury had ever done for their island. One voice in the local press demanded: "What did Gilbert Chagoury do for the people of Saint Lucia to qualify as a recipient of the prestigious Order of Saint Lucia?" No satisfactory answer came. Because the answer was never about Saint Lucia. His ambassadorial status functions less as service to Saint Lucia and more as a legal shield and image-laundering mechanism. Diplomatic immunity. International forum access. A passport from a country with no inconvenient questions. In exchange, he funds the embassy himself. It is the cheapest insurance policy a convicted money launderer has ever purchased. The Honour Given in Darkness On January 8, 2026 — his 80th birthday — President Tinubu conferred Nigeria's second-highest national honour, the Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger (GCON), on Chagoury. There was no public ceremony, no presidential statement, and no official citation explaining the decision. The award only became public when billionaire Femi Otedola posted a photograph of the certificate on social media. No announcement. No explanation. The most significant civilian honour in Nigeria — given in the dead of night, to a man convicted of laundering Nigeria's own stolen money, by a president whose son sits on that same man's corporate boards. Nigeria's anti-corruption chief Nuhu Ribadu once said, in a PBS interview in California: "You couldn't investigate corruption without looking at Chagoury." Ribadu now serves in Tinubu's government as National Security Adviser. He says nothing about his former target's billion-dollar contracts. That silence is its own verdict. The Louvre, and What It Means There is a particular kind of obscenity in the way men like Chagoury launder not just money, but reputation. The Louvre's Gilbert et Rose Marie Chagoury Gallery houses a permanent exhibit of French works donated by the couple. He has renovated churches in Paris. He funds hospitals in America. His name is on buildings in Lebanon. And all of it — every gallery, every medical school, every marble facade — was paid for with money extracted from some of the world's poorest people. The gallery at the Louvre is a monument to the looting of Nigeria. The church renovations were funded by contracts that bypassed competitive bidding in a country where 84 million people lack reliable electricity. There is a word for what happens when criminal wealth is cleaned through cultural philanthropy and is then celebrated by institutions who should know better. We are watching it happen in real time, in Paris, with the full knowledge of every government that has given this man a title, a contract, or a ceremonial cross. What Justice Requires The international community has enough information to act. It has chosen not to. The United States placed Chagoury on a terrorism screening database and then allowed a deferred prosecution agreement to resolve his election law violations for a fine. Switzerland convicted him and allowed a plea expungement. Nigeria keeps giving him contracts worth more than its annual education budget, signed by a president whose family is in business with Chagoury's son. What is required now is not diplomatic language. It is action. Every no-bid contract awarded to Chagoury Group entities under the Tinubu administration must be suspended pending an open, internationally supervised audit. Every national honour bestowed by Benin, Chad, Rwanda, Saint Lucia, and Nigeria must be publicly justified or revoked. The Saint Lucia arrangement — diplomatic credentials, UNESCO access, and Holy See representation paid for privately by a man on a U.S. terrorism screening database — must be investigated by the UN itself. And Bola Tinubu must stand before the Nigerian people and explain, in plain and unambiguous language, why he awarded his second-highest national honour — secretly, on a man's birthday, without a citation — to a convicted launderer of Nigeria's own stolen money. Africa's problem is not a lack of resources. It is not a lack of intelligence. It is not geography or history or any of the excuses the powerful use to explain away the suffering of the powerless. Africa's problem is men like Gilbert Chagoury — and the African presidents who serve them instead of their people. He lives like a king in Paris. We sit in the dark. That arrangement ends only when we demand it does. Kio Amachree is President of Worldview International, a Stockholm-based civic and advocacy platform.

THE STATE OF NIGERIA v. THE SHADOW PRESIDENCY OLUWASEYI TINUBU: WHAT HE HAS DONE TO A NATION #SeyiTinubu #NigeriaUnderSiege #ShadowPresident #AccountabilityNow #EndImpunity #NigeriaDeservesBetter He holds no elected office. He swears no oath of service. He answers to no constitutional authority. And yet Oluwaseyi Tinubu exercises power over the lives of two hundred and twenty million Nigerians as though the Republic were his personal inheritance. What follows is not allegation by political enemies. It is documented, leaked, litigated, and damning. THE CORRUPTION OF PUBLIC CONTRACTS Leaked corporate documents from an investigation by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists established that Seyi Tinubu co-owned an offshore company in the British Virgin Islands with Ronald Chagoury Jr., son of billionaire tycoon Ronald Chagoury — at the precise moment that a $13 billion contract to build the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway was awarded, without a public bidding process, to Hitech Construction Company, a subsidiary of the Chagoury Group. Since President Bola Tinubu took office, one man — Gilbert Chagoury, a Lebanese-Nigerian billionaire with a criminal record for money laundering — has quietly collected more than $12.7 billion in federal contracts. And the President's son sits on the board of the contractor's subsidiary. Seyi sits on the board of CDK Integrated Industries, another subsidiary of the Chagoury Group. This means that while the President's son serves on the board of a company owned by the man collecting billions in federal contracts, that same son goes on television to tell Nigerians that his father is not in office to enrich himself or his friends. Most recently, Tinubu handed another $700 million to the Chagoury Group for the renovation of Lagos's two main seaports, Tin Can and Apapa — financed by a loan backed by Citibank Nigeria and UK Export Finance. Nigeria borrows the money. Chagoury collects the contract. The President's son sits on Chagoury's board. The circle is complete. THE FRAUD-TAINTED LONDON MANSION Bloomberg reported that Seyi Tinubu is the main shareholder of Aranda Overseas Corporation, a British Virgin Islands offshore company, which paid £9 million — approximately $10.8 million — to Deutsche Bank for a three-floor property in St. John's Wood, North London, complete with an eight-car driveway, two gardens, electric gates and a gym. The property was not merely expensive. It had previously been seized by Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in 2016 as part of an investigation into Kola Aluko, a close associate of former Petroleum Minister Diezani Alison-Madueke, who was implicated in large-scale corruption. The Nigerian government was actively investigating the property. Seyi Tinubu's company acquired it in the middle of that investigation. He has been described as a "serial entrepreneur," yet it is not quite clear what his source of income is without the obvious connection to the public purse through his father. He bought three houses for cash in North London. On what declared income? From what disclosed source of funds? THE MONOPOLY BUILT ON HIS FATHER'S THRONE His advertising company, Loatsad Promomedia, has become a dominant player in Nigeria's outdoor advertising industry, with allegations that its rise was facilitated entirely by his father's political influence. When Bola Tinubu governed Lagos State, the city's streets became Seyi's commercial territory. When Bola Tinubu became President, the contracts followed the family northward to Abuja. This is not entrepreneurship. This is the conversion of state power into private revenue. THE WEAPONISATION OF STATE SECURITY This is where the story stops being about money. The National Association of Nigerian Students, with backing from Seyi Tinubu and operatives of the Department of State Services, was reported to be plotting an attack on human rights activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore. According to sources familiar with the matter, covert meetings were held between Seyi Tinubu and NANS leaders to coordinate the attack, with the reported involvement of DSS operatives. In May 2025, the NANS President Atiku Isah was violently attacked by a faction loyal to Seyi Tinubu during his inauguration at The Wells Carlton Hotel in Abuja. He was macheted and nearly killed. Rather than arresting the perpetrators, DSS operatives whisked away the victim — Isah — from the clinic where he was receiving treatment for life-threatening injuries. Since they took him, his family heard nothing. No contact. No location. No access. Isah subsequently filed a lawsuit in the Federal High Court demanding N38.3 billion in damages, naming Seyi Tinubu, the DSS, and the NTA as respondents. Popular Nigerian commentator VeryDarkMan stated it plainly: "Seyi Tinubu is so influential and powerful that he can command the IGP and DSS boss. Anything Seyi likes, he can do." He added: "A threat to my life has been issued. If anything should happen to me and my close ones, hold Seyi Tinubu responsible. I don't feel safe." A private citizen — unelected, unaccountable, constitutionally invisible — is directing the secret police of Africa's most populous nation. This is not rumour. This is a sworn court filing. This is a citizen naming his assailant publicly and on record. THE SPECTACLE OF OBSCENE WEALTH AMID MASS SUFFERING Seyi Tinubu attracted public fury for acquiring a Richard Mille RM 055 watch worth $550,000 — roughly ₦825 million at the prevailing exchange rate — while Nigerians suffered under the weight of his father's economic policies. While he moved through Nigerian streets in a convoy befitting a head of state, a Brigadier-General was ambushed by ISWAP terrorists in Borno State, taken alive, and executed on video. All he had for escort was a handful of soldiers. No air cover. No rapid response team. Over 300 schoolchildren were abducted from St. Mary's Catholic School in Niger State; 165 remain in captivity. Thirty-eight worshippers were kidnapped from a church in Eruku, Kwara, during an evening service, and two were shot dead for resisting. He was further criticised for using a presidential jet to attend a polo match while many Nigerians struggled to feed. A presidential jet. For polo. In a country where soldiers share ten rifles to protect a hundred villages. THE SUPPRESSION OF DISSENT When Nigerian rapper Eedris Abdulkareem released a protest song called "Tell Your Papa," addressing Seyi Tinubu directly and calling on him to urge his father to address Nigeria's worsening crises, the Federal Government — through the National Broadcasting Commission — instructed radio and television stations not to air it. The government banned a song. Because it named the President's son. THE VERDICT OF HISTORY No man who holds no office should command the secret police, direct billions in state contracts to his business partners, shelter his wealth in offshore vehicles linked to fraud investigations, and silence artists who dare to sing his name. Nigeria did not elect Oluwaseyi Tinubu. Nigeria cannot remove him. Nigeria cannot audit him. There is no constitutional mechanism available to its citizens to hold him to account. That is the definition of a shadow presidency. And the shadow has grown darker than the state itself.

1. My son, currently in 400 Level Medicine and Surgery scored 333 in JAMB but his name did not even APPEAR on the Admission List. I was later told by the Institution that, my son could be offered Micro Biology. I told the Registrar of the institution POINT BLANK that, "I have spent HUGELY (Several Millions of Naira) to get my Son to this Point of Entry (PoE) to become a Medical Doctor and not to become a Biology Teacher through her offer of Micro Biology. This Registrar was so MEAN. She simply told me, we are very sorry, Micro Biology is the BEST we can OFFER your son. 2. At this Juncture, I proceeded to JAMB Headquarters, Abuja to meet with Prof. Oloyede who swiftly asked for my son's JAMB details, punched these details into his laptop and everything concerning the university came up on his screen. 3. Prof. Oloyede said and I quote: "Dr. Muyiwa Kayode, please go back home and sleep with your two eyes closed. From what I am seeing on my screen, your son is No.3 on the List of Medicine and Surgery of this institution with a JAMB SCORE of 333 which comes behind two other JAMB scores of 348 & 334 respectively. Unfortunately, none of these chaps, including your Son (i.e JAMB Score 348, 334 and 333) made the Admission List" 4. Prof. Oloyede continued and I quote: "Dr. Muyiwa Kayode, in SANE countries, this Institution should have sent the College Driver with an official vehicle to go and fetch your son from Ekiti to campus having projected himself into the MERIT LIST of this Institution but unfortunately, the endemic corruption in these institutions will just not allow them to follow Due Process" 5. Right in my presence, Prof. Oloyede put a call through to the Vice Chancellor of this Institution, setting his phone on speaker and spoke angrily at the Vice Chancellor, lamenting on the endemic corruption under his nose as it concerns university admission. This Vice Chancellor apologized to Prof. Oloyede saying what has just happened must have been an ERROR of OVERSIGHT on the part of his Management Team & promised Prof. Oloyede that he will personally ensure the Error of Oversight is corrected. 6. Within 24 hrs of that conversation between Prof. Oloyede and the Vice Chancellor, my son checked the university's Admission Portal and discovered his name has been INCLUDED as Number Three on the admission list while the names of the other chaps that scored 348 & 334 also appeared on the admission list as Number One and Number Two respectively. 7. The good news in all of these is that, my son that would have been CRIMINALLY denied admission ab-initio now TOPS his class with a G.P.A of 4.85 This is neither Federal nor State government doing... Every sector of the economy in Nigeria is corrupt. Photo: Prof Ishaq Oloyede, Registrar, Joint Admission and Matriculation Board ( JAMB )

Those who knew Al-Minuki in his early years, during the rise of Mohammed Yusuf, the founder of Boko Haram, told @HumAngle_ that he was a young man who ran a small barbing salon in Mainok village, about 58 kilometres west of Maiduguri in northeastern Nigeria. Long before his name became associated with violence and insurgency, he was known simply as a village barber. humanglemedia.com/abu-bilal-al-m…

“This Is The Video Evidence Where The Nigerian Army Confirms The Death Of Terrorist And ISIS Commander Abu-Bilal al-Minuki In 2024. Before Trump Announced His Death Again.”

He humiliated America and got killed 33 days later. This is the story of the Nigerian leader who had a target on his back. #Powerandplunder

The funny thing is Mike Igini warned this lawmakers that they will be the first casualty of the stupid law they passed. E don happen

Tinubu and his caucus outplayed the House of Reps members who lost out in the APC Primaries. A few weeks ago, after he signed the dubious Electoral Act, he held a conference with the Reps members assuring them that they'd all be re-elected. They're oblivious to the reality that the summit was a decoy to silence any thought of defecting to another party, that they may have, and trap them in the APC. Now, they have lost out. They can't defect to contest in another party. They're forced to remain in the APC and work for him or be discarded as worthless cards. Everywhere don blur for their eyes.✍️

@abs_special @FinPlanKaluAja1 Lying through your teeth and dented image. USA can never trust NA with the responsibility of carrying out such a strategic hit...nah,they do it themselves.

@FinPlanKaluAja1 That’s interesting because algorithm just brought this up:

The US had boots on the ground in the NE for the ISIS raid SEALs and all

@FinPlanKaluAja1 It took a dozen seal team and some aircraft to kill such a commander. We have deployed every thing to the NE for over 15 years and we didn’t kill Shekauu nor this Isis commander. I just wonder what the military is doing there with all the operations and budget

@DideeMichael @FinPlanKaluAja1 Shielding someone perhaps some people while also perpetrating their act🤔🤔🤯🤯simple,if not NA ain't a lazy bunch like the 🇳🇬youths. Just a bunch of Zombies 👌

BREAKING!!! DELE FAROTIMI HAS SPOKEN AGAIN... As usual, he dropped bombshell and nailed it. Retweet massively pls
