How Buhari Spent 80% Of Abacha Loot -President's Aide


Maryam Uwais, the Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on
Social Investments, has disclosed that 80% of the repatriated funds
looted by Sani Abacha, former Head of State, for the Social Investment
programme.
President Buhari initiated the Social Investment Programme in 2015 to
push cash into the informal market.

Uwais said this during training on recovering illicit funds and assets in Abuja.

She said the remaining 20% was from the World Bank ‘s credits.

She said 18,200 of them had taken loans from the intervention while
less than 1,000 had defaulted.

She said, “The funds for the social investments are from the World
Bank and the Abacha loot. We are using the credit that we got from the
World Bank in the ratio of 20:80. Eighty percent from the Abacha loot
so that we can pay the beneficiaries the amount that the government
has pledged to help them.

“This has been quite proactive for them because we have seen a lot of
activities in the communities. Today many of these women are doing
their business, they are trading, and engaging in agriculture. They
are doing very well in their homes.”

The normally $10,000-a night Airbnb listing is located in Rancho Mirage, which is just a 25 minute drive from the festival in Indio, California.

On Monday, the artist thanked Airbnb for the home as she posed next to a large fireplace in a pink hoodie; she wrote: 'Thank you @airbnb for my desert home. A wonderful gift!' While prepping for her Coachella gig, the Grammy award winning songstress rested at the mega estate, which has 360 degree mountain views and a resort style pool. The kitchen had st...

Why Detroit has the largest satanist temple chapter in the US

The "largest public satanic ceremony in history" took place last Saturday in Detroit, a city that has the largest and oldest chapter of a national Satanist organization.  The group unveiled a nearly 9-foot tall bronze statue of a goat-headed Baphomet in a private ceremony attended by 600 ticket holders, Lucien Graves, co-founder of the national Satanic Temple organization in Boston. The Satanic Temple in Detroit has more than 200 registered members. "They are so active and well-organized," Graves said. "There's probably been another wave of interest since this event."  The Detroit chapter is the first of the national organization, Graves said. He credits the Detroit chapter's founder Jex Blackmore with the growth of the chapter since it was established there in August 2014. "It's more or less because of her. She was just a very confident person who started working with us," Graves said further. The pair...
