How did she acquire a two million dollar house? How could she afford to donate $25,000.00 to the Republican Party of President Bush? And she is not known to have won any lotteries! Meanwhile she is a student in American University? How many of her classmates are able to afford a two million dollars house and donate $25,000.00 to any political party? She is not reported to have any substantial income, and yet she could donate twenty-five thousand dollars as an individual to the Republican Party?
And what worthy cause Nigerian do the Republican Party members support or represent? the election of Vice President Atiku Abubakar as Nigeria’s president in 2007? We must have to wonder whether Lady Jamilah Jennifer would have offered in donations, her own hard earned money, all twenty-five thousand dollars of it to the Republican Party? Except of course, because she is or was being bankrolled by Nigerian taxpayers, courtesy of the current vice president of Nigeria?
Many Nigerians in America and most Nigerians in Nigeria cannot afford to donate $25,000.00 to charity, let alone, the already filthy rich Republican Party in the United States, a political party that represents, a party, that is the epitome of everything anti Nigeria, anti Africa and anti peoples of African descent! But of course it would not have bothered anyone or me, for that matter, if it involved moneys honestly earned or acquired by Lady Jamilah Jennifer Iwenjiora, Douglas E Atiku Abubakar.. (will the real Jennifer stand up please?)
By all accounts, Lady Jennifer Jamilah Abubakar or Douglas E or Iwenjiora is said to also be the person behind a Non-governmental Organization, Gede Foundation.org which has sought American public support, financial support, using the name of Nigeria and Nigerians to solicit monetary donations from American individuals and corporations, informing them all, that funds so received would be used to ameliorate the precarious conditions of Nigerians and other Africans suffering from the AIDS and HIV scourge.
It is against the law, and public morality, to use proceeds garnered from fundraisers conducted by charitable organization such as Gede Foundation, for purely personal use, there will be no basis in law therefore, for Lady Jennifer Jamilah to pretend that proceeds from her “charitable work” financed the acquisition or purchase of the Maryland property; If that was the case, the property should rightly bear the name of Gede Foundation, even though Gede is not in the business of real estate! And even if that was her defense, Nigerians and American public will want to peruse her books! How is her bookkeeping? What is her annual personal income? How much in local, state and federal taxes did she pay since year 2000 when the property was purchased?
Nigerian and American publics, would want to know the extent of Gede Foundation’s actual work, actual impact and actual effect on the lives of the target population of AIDS?HIV victims in Nigeria, Africa and elsewhere. We will all want to know the extent of Gede Foundation actual presence in Nigeria and the extent of its expenditure, commitments in real terms, since its inception and upon receipt of millions of dollars in the name of Nigeria, Nigerians and AIDS/HIV victims!
It is relevant to determine whether Lady Jennifer Jamilah has complied with local, state and federal laws of the United States in her “purchase and ownership” of the above mentioned property in Maryland United States, it is important to determine her personal income as a house wife cum college student who presides over a mansion, in the lap of luxury or decadent opulence? Has she usurped the resources of Gede Foundation? Donations to Gede Foundation by individuals persons and corporate bodies, were intended specifically for social work, and Gede Foundation portrayed itself as a socially responsible organization, upon which public-spirited persons and corporations donated millions of dollars to Gede Foundation, to enable Gede Foundation provide services to the less fortunate in our societies, to alleviate the dire conditions.
It is instructive that the FBI is said to have taken the property deed and building plans, it will, in all likelihood, enable them ascertain the real owners and what transactions regarding the property has transpired over the years, and that should resolve the discrepancies in the arrogant obfuscation of Vice President, his staff and all those who have tried to engage in all manners of cover-ups!
Messrs Jonathan Elendu and Omoyole Sowore have blown off the lid off, of, this property in Maryland, United States which many Nigerians have talked about often, as the symbol of endemic corruption, the brazen avarice and greed that some Nigerian officials continue to indulge themselves in, and until now, there were not enough specifics. So it remained the usual rumor mills, (coffee shop gossip, a la President Obasanjo on Mr. Babangida) Pepper-soup and beer parlor genres of idle banter gossips.
The Federal Bureau of Investigations, FBI, is investigating one William Jefferson, an American, and a Congressman from the state of Louisiana, who has had extensive contact with some Nigerian officials during a period spanning over ten years. More particularly, this Jefferson guy has had contacts with Nigerian officials regarding privatization and possible participation by an American company in the telecommunication industry, and its interests in NITEL.
We are splendidly uninterested in William Jefferson and his apparent troubles with the FBI and the United States government, we are however keen on possible explanations from Nigeria’s vice president regarding the activities of this man, in relation to his visit to the vice president. Nigerians are also entitled to specific and detailed explanations from our vice president, explanations regarding the disputed ownership of his house in Maryland, United States. Who really owns this house?
Nigerians over time, have become aware that Vice President Atiku was an officials of the Nigerian Customs Service, that bastion of proper conduct and ethical behavior in Nigeria, the VP thereafter transmuted into some sorts of instant business mogul and magnate, with interests in petroleum, pharmaceuticals, a private university, the whole lot, in common with almost every other former and current public officials! Whatever happened to ethics and conflict of interests rules? Mr. Ibrahim Babangida, I am told, also now possess a private university? Who is next, among retired generals gets a private university, need we ask?
Vice President Atiku Abubakar Must Explain!

Ye all those in diaspora, put your house in order and fight for a common cause not someone else's battle. Today, this group will show up in Abuja and urge the president to ammend the constitution by whatever maens and continue.Tomorrow another group shows up and claim to represent Nigerians abroad and join PDP. Tonight, someone from the either of the two groups post anti-corruption on the web. WHO IS FOOLING WHO?
It is extremely imperative for us Nigerians abroad to settle our differences in order to fight for a common cause and we have to do this sooner than anyone can imagine.We need a home to call our own at the moment we do not have one.Enough of these "talk talk"

Dear Tina.
I can't help but agree with you about the attitudes of some Nigerians that always see the sand in his brothers eyes without seeing the rock that is about to cover their face.
I think that V.P Atiuk is a disgrece. he should have declare his assets before asuming the post of the vp.according to the Nigeria constitution.I hope and beleive that he did. The house in question was not part of the asset declared therefore the house was bought during his term as Vp. Jennifar douglas is just playing a cover up for the vp.and that is obstruction of justice.
According to paul's write up jennifar is a student and had never worked nor own any business. where the hail are all the money coming from.
When the boat of the vp is sinking jennifar douglas most sink along too.
It is not the responsibility of obj to monitor the activities of corrupt politicians/ public office funcioners. this administration has set up an organisation with this responsibility. therefore we should look up to this organs of government to proces action against the vp and his cohots.
Maziyou should lean to respect individual opinion like that of paul and many other nigerians that think differantly from your point of views.
Paul is not an paid agent or i refuse to beleive this accusations untill demostrated otherwise.
All the verious school of thought abroad should work together to bring accoutability to our home government. so that we can move along with other nations that had once been in the same situation like Nigeria. (i.e) China india BangladishSouth Africa etc…
I always ask this qeustion on dialy bases why should Evil beings long to be at the platform of my fathers land nigeria haertless sharmless fools who do not have any thought of repentance from thier EVIL even when we did not vote them in we must latter find out that the won just to send to ealier grave as many nigerians as they cansomebody like ATIKU who has no other intension than to grab the wealth of the country and spend it selfishly in ways that is not profitable to the country bringing reproach to the graet nation like nigeria should be brought to book but my faer is that alot of things like this have happened before and nothing happened after much nioces like this ones im haering now thats my reason of supporting the motion that says even BABA president is corrupt may almighty GOD who nkows the state of our suffering tarminate thier plans towards bribing those who will help in bringing them to book.
Dear tina i think you gat a point about our dear ibe he should loosen up and give everybody a chance to be a nigerian instead of branding us however i must admit that there is some sense in what the Mazi is saying If Atiku is indeed corupt he has to be investigated and if found guilty of the charges he has to resign it will not tell good on OBJ that he is fighting curruption and the vice president is at the helm of curruption YES OBJ need to be accountable.
Ive just read the comment 1 by one so-called mazi. That was the most biased emotional egoistical and intolerant comment to an article Ive ever read on this web site. Haba who does that Ibe man think he is Does he love Nigeria more than the rest of us
I used to be like Ibe. In fact I love to hate the guts of Mr. Femi Olawole one of the internet columnists because he is always going in opposite direction on many issues of national importance. But I soon began to read his articles with an objective mind and realized that the man is often right and above all very consistent. Incidentally I have since grown very fond of one of his favorite sayings that its foolish for all of us to sleep together with our heads facing the same direction. What this means is that we all as Nigerians can not agree on the same issue all of the time. As different people with different backgrounds we just have to learn to persuade instead of trying to force our opinions down the throats of other people. Its the same respect that I have for Adiuje.
Its the shameful practice of guys like Ibe (I beg comot that useless mazi title!) who have always blackmailed everyone who dares to say anything positive about Obasanjo. While I dont agree with Objs style I still dont accept the wrong notion that he has failed. And neither do I agree that he should be personally held responsible for the woes of our nation. What about the roles played by each one of us one way or the other
Like many commentators who are abusing Obj because of some hidden personal problems one would have expected Paul Adiuje to be raining abuses on Obj every day because he was once denied a job in Objs farm. Instead the man has been setting his personal issues aside to be objective with Obj. And Adiuje is not even a Yoruba man yet some shallow-minded empty barrels like Ibe are branding him a hack or a paid writer.
Must we blame everything on Obj If the VP is corrupt Obj must payfor it. If a State gov does something wrong its Objs fault. If there is flood in Nigeria its Obj who causes it—–wetin When are we going to rise above all these pettiness
And its a silly man like that fake mazi that make other Nigerians more so the Yoruba think we the Igbo just hate Obj because he is a Yoruba man. A beg lets learn to be objective and tolerant!
If the v.p is involved in such a scandal then what the hail are they talking about in the fight against corruption in nigeria.
If the v.p who was sopposed to be at the front of this fight is involved in such an immoral activity what an example of a leader we have in him.
Nigeria has a responsibility to improve its soured image abroad by contributing to the effact of the international comunity to reduce pains cuased by natural disasters like the hurrican katrina the sunami disaster and the disasters in our countinent like the Niger problems etc…rather than contributing the nigeria tax paying to the activities of both the democrat and republican party in the united states.
Jennifar douglas is one of many Nigerians that we are ashemed of. she could beleive that the commitees responsible to collecting founds for the above mentiond parties have any respect for her I am convinced that rather than respect they will lough at her because they know where she came from and they also knows that she stole the money from her people that are langueshing in poverty.
The v.p. should be ivestigated and his proparties confisticated by the Nigeria goverment.
I don't think that paul is an agent of anybody and if he is it means that it will be difficult to trust anybody anymore.
Jennifer you are a disgress to your people and to your country.
good job but like my first contributor said if we are nailing anyone lets never be biased about just hit the nail on the head infact 99.9 percent of Nigerian leaders are corrupt its only God himself that would redeem we the citizens and bicos of their corrupt practices we Nigerians in diaspora are all seen as rogues but i pray that God will have mercy on us all cos. Amen
Mazi Ibe you must take time to understand the personality of Mr. Adujie; his defence of OBJ and his emotional hate for the US Republican Party. I have read between the lines some of Paul's writing in defence of OBJ and all I see is an emotional writer who dances towards individuals rather than to a cause. Is there anything wrong with that May be not since we all think and write differently depending on what we want to accomplish. This is not in defence of Mr. Adujie but to bring to light why people may write differently even when it seems that they are paid to do so. This is someone who was not hired at OBJ farm years back and will likely seek for work there again according to him (Paul). Now you wonder why the defence of OBJ. Has he been paid to write May be not assumption is a word that lacks investigational prove and will always lead to negative writings just as most Paul's writings in hate of the Republican Party are based on assumptions.
CEO.
Paul well said but the article showed your hate for the Republican Party. Jennifer had donated to both the Democratic and the Republican Parties. The corrupt mindset of most Nigeria public officers and private individuals has nothing to do with the US Republican Party. Normally parties do not investigate donors and the source of their income before accepting donationations. I am a Nigerian living in the US and sympathetic to the Republican conservative ideas. In any case keep up the good work.

ATT. PAUL ADUJIE
Stop ranting Paul or Saul… I think the latter fits you better.
I am more in the corruption fight than you. But you can't eat your cake and have it. You have aleady lost that moral high-standing by your unabashed defence of OBJ's organized banditry can't you see it I am not saying Atiku should not be brought to book but not by people like you.
Give way b/c if people like you jump into the bandwaggon it will scare away decent people from it and automatically defeat the cause.
OBJ or his hitman has forever lost the right to fight coruption.
Atiku is corrupt…much more than what he is doing through Jennifer. When he went to Yola to open his ABTI University with OBJ what did you say Well at that time his action was "right" b/c your paymaster was involved Now he has fallen out of favour with BABA and Paul has suddenly "discovered" he's corrupt. Atiku has been corrupt right from the time he was in the Customs. His activities under "saint" El-Rufai's BPE induces nausea. His friends are the biggest crooks in Nigeria.
We will surely bring him to book but plz Paul go and find your likes out there. We can't have you soil an otherwise worthy cause with your compromised presence. You have already crossed over to the side of the enemies of Nigeria.
But if you want to return to us the route is simple: just recant all your shameless defence of OBJ including the daylight robberey of his library launch in Abeokuta apologize and tell us how much OBJ paid you to burnish his image and publicy refund them. Just simple. Then you can join us to fight Atiku.
I suggest you give way for genuine lovers of Nigeria to contribute sincere thoughts on this matter. You are part of the problem. Don't you have some shame What Atiku has done may be outrageous and we will endeavour to get to the root of it but not with Obasanjo bootlickers and vassals like you. Assuming the topic was OBJ and his unspeakable corruption wouldn't you by now be hauling invectives now at the writers of the article
I know Atiku derserves to be hanged but let genuine Nigerians do it not Obasanjo an paid agent and hitman like you. YOU CAN'T SPEAK FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE MOUTH. Back home in Nigeria now what is uppermost in OBJ's murky heart is how to nail and sink Atiku. And I suppose it is that same project you are trying to execute here by seeking to hide under some dubious dislike for corruption. So we will also resist people like you to come in here when we are cleaning the state of your likes. We cannot allow you to hide under decent altruistic and better society-seekers to help hang a marked OBJ enemy. Leave us alone to deal with Atiku. Your presence here is a great pollution to an otherwise worthy quest. You have dented image that automatically qualifies you to join this crusade.
I have told you this time without number must I continue to repeat myslef
Mazi Ibe NE
