Wake-up Nigerians the iiluminati and the mansons occult has taken over the Nigeria politic.

On Nov. 15, the Senate Armed Services Committee had unanimously approved S. 1867, the National Defense Authorization Act, which includes a provision to repeal Article 125 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).
Article 125 of the UCMJ makes it illegal to engage in both sodomy with humans and sex with animals.
 
It states: "(a) Any person subject to this chapter who engages in unnatural carnal copulation with another person of the same or opposite sex or with an animal is guilty of sodomy. Penetration, however slight, is sufficient to complete the offense. (b) Any person found guilty of sodomy shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.”
Family Research Council President Tony Perkins said the effort to remove sodomy from military law stems from liberal Senate Democrats' and President Obama’s support for removing the military’s Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy.
 
“It’s all about using the military to advance this administration’s radical social agenda,” Perkins told CNSNews.com. “Not only did they overturn Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, but they had another problem, and that is, under military law sodomy is illegal, just as adultery is illegal, so they had to remove that prohibition against sodomy.”
Perkins said removing the bestiality provision may have been intentional--or just “collateral damage”
“Well, whether it was inadvertent or not, they have also taken out the provision against bestiality,” he said. “So now, under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), there’s nothing there to prosecute bestiality."
 
Former Army Col. Bob Maginnis said some military lawyers have indicated that bestiality may be prosecutable under another section of the military code of justice – the “catch-all” Article 134 for offenses against “good military order and discipline.”
But don't count on that, he said.
“If we have a soldier who engages in sodomy with an animal – whether a government animal or a non-government animal – is it, in fact, a chargeable offense under the Uniform Code? I think that’s in question,” Maginnis told CNSNews.com.
 
“When the reader stops laughing, the reader needs to ask the question whether or not this is in the best interests of the government, in the best
interests of the military and the best interests of the country? I think not.”
He added: “Soldiers, unfortunately, like it or not, have engaged in this type of behavior in the past. Will they in the future, if they remove this statute? I don’t know.”
 
Perkins said there was no attempt to remove the UCMJ repeal provision from the bill, which Perkins had expected the Senate to approve.
Now that it has passed, however, the Senate version will have to go to a conference committee, and Perkins predicts there will be several sticking points with the House.
“The House in their version of the defense authorization, reinforced the Defense of Marriage Act, saying that there is a military DOMA as well, prohibiting same-sex marriage on military bases – something the Department of Defense is pushing for,” he said.
 
“And now this is an added concern, that sodomy has been removed, and as we have discovered, that bestiality--the prohibition against it--has been removed from the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So yes, the House will have problems with this bill.

Sweety am not.

Any other nationality can comment on this issue, but Americans no. Cause few days back. The united state of America just pass a bill allowing the military men to rap animals.

That's American's for you. Their police know how to do their job, and the citizen's knows who to create the job for them. Believe me by this time next year. The 911 call will go off for that man and the EKPO called wife.

Trust the homicide unit.

Ojukwu refused to open armoury for coup plotters in 1966


Mr. Azuka Okwuosa, one of the closest friends of the late Biafran leader, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, in this interview with Ozioma Ubabukoh, says Ojukwu’s patriotism made him refuse to open armoury for coup plotters in 1966





 
Azuka Okwuosa

How long have you known the late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu


I have been close to him since he came back from exile in 1982. Since then, I have worked closely with him at different levels. After my youth service in 1984, I worked closely with him and I saw him as an icon. I once told him I liked his ideas, principles and those things he represented.


You will recall that when he returned from exile in 1982, in spite of the fact that his property was not released by the Shehu Shagari administration, he was not affected; he forged on with life. His intelligence was much more than gold and silver. Those of us who (were) close to him imbibed that principle. He brought me into the All Progressives Grand Alliance.


Ojukwu intended to put his war memos together and publish them as a book before he died. Now that he is no more, what efforts are you and other of his associates making to keep his dream alive?


He had always kept those war memos to his chest. He knew how far he had gone. I am not in the position to say exactly when the war memos will be published. One thing he had always told me and said over the years was that he owed the nation that book which contained his war memos. After the burial, we shall definitely keep that dream of his alive. When the book eventually comes out, it will show to the world the very identity of Ikemba. However, we are not talking of that now that we are mourning.


What major incidents would you recall that endeared you more to the late Ezeigbo Gburugburu?


I can recall an incident that occurred in 1982, shortly after his return from exile, when he had an ejection from his house at 29 Queens Drive, Ikoyi, Lagos. Most people would have felt humiliated about that incident, but Ikemba said he would fight and ensure that he got back his house. He said he believed in fighting for justice.


We encouraged him, and, indeed, he fought and got back his house. Like a fighter for justice that he was, he went to court, fought, and fought until he regained what rightfully belonged to him. Those of us who are (were) close to him imbibed that principle.


The second major incident was in 1993. The event was the burial of Houphouet Biogny, former President of Ivory Coast. I travelled with him to the country. In the plane with us were the then Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha; Yakubu Gowon; Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo and his late wife, Stella; Maitama Sule and Adamu Ciroma.


He took me on that mission and as a young man; I saw it as an opportunity to learn a lot, which I did. At Cote d’Ivoire, I became more endeared to him when I saw the manner he handled issues and the way the Ivoriens bowed and respected him. The third major incident I can recollect was his entering into politics after his return from exile. So many people at that time had questioned his joining the National Party of Nigeria instead of the Nigeria Peoples Party that had an Igbo man, the late Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, at the helm of affairs.

He joined the NPN because it had a national outlook. He felt that since he was the one who led his people to war, he should also be the one to bring them together as one, and the NPN was the right platform to actualise it. He was not happy seeing his people disillusioned. He felt he should join the NPN to integrate them into mainstream politics.
Before his death, did he ever share his regrets with you on the non-implementation of the Aburi Accord?

Of course he did. He had always said the spirit of Aburi Accord was haunting Nigeria. You can see what is happening in the Niger Delta. That is a typical example. Let us digress a bit. I want to tell you that Ojukwu lived ahead of his time. At the age of 20, he had already obtained his Bachelor of Arts. You know the frustration he faced, but because of his doggedness, he sailed through. He was rare. You had expected someone with such aristocratic ideas to live above board, but he did not. He rather chose to identify with the masses.

What are the things you will say he did not achieve?


He would always tell me that Nigeria is a country not a nation. Before his death, he was looking forward to the nationhood of this country, where every federating unit will come and live together. Ikemba’s biggest regret was that he did not live to see Nigeria’s transformation from a country to nationhood. He did his best in this regard, that was why he always wished to express himself. He had a personal crest – a sheep and two lions by its side, and an eagle on top. He told me that the crest meant, ‘To thy self be true.’ Everything he did during his lifetime always propelled him for another


Now, what about the stroke he suffered before he died. How did it all happen?


About seven years ago, he suffered stroke. That particular stroke he suffered at that time affected his sight. When the second stroke struck six years later, in December 2010, we were so shocked. He was still talking and wishing to live but suddenly, we moved him to the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Ituku-Ozala, Enugu, where he stayed for 10 days before he was stabilised and flown abroad.
In the hospital he stayed, they had about 60 patients in similar health condition as Ojukwu. Most of those patients died within weeks, but he fought on and lived for another 11 months. The doctor even said ‘this man must be made of a sterner stuff.’ Well, God gives life and He takes it. I saw him three months ago. At the hospital in London, I called his name and immediately he recognised me, he wanted to sit up but I asked him not to. Three weeks before he died, he had recovered so much and was even going for physiotherapy, but death suddenly called.

Some years before his passage, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo had asked him to apologise for the purported damage he did to Nigeria by going to war. What is your take on this?


Obasanjo is free to say what he wants to say. What happened between 1966 and 1970, I do not think there is any need for apology. If you remember the last coup that took place in 1966, Ojukwu was the one who refused to open an armoury for the coup plotters. He loved this country. But the counter coup, six months after, led to the massacre of Ndigbo in northern Nigeria. So who needs to apologise


How could the Movement for the Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra give Ojukwu the biggest burial in Africa as promised?


The Federal Government will work with them and Ojukwu family. There will be a committee and the committee will come out with a blueprint for the burial plans. Until then, I would not want to comment on that.

A woman takes a lover home during the day while her husband is at work.

Her 9-year old son comes home unexpectedly, sees them and hides in the bedroom closet to watch.

The woman’s husband also comes home. She puts her lover in the closet, not realizing that the little boy is in there already.

The little boy says, ‘It’s Dark in here.’
The man says, ‘Yes, it is.’
Boy: ‘I have a baseball.’
Man: ‘That’s nice’
Boy: ‘Want to buy it?’
Man: ‘No, thanks.’
Boy: ‘My Dad’s outside.’
Man: ‘OK, how much?’
Boy: ‘$250′
In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the lover are in the closet together.

Boy: ‘It’s Dark in here.’
Man: ‘Yes, it is.’
Boy: ‘I have a baseball glove.’
The lover, remembering the last time, asks the boy, ‘How much?’
Boy: ‘$750′
Man: ‘Sold.’

A few days later, the Dad says to the boy, ‘Grab your glove, let’s go outside and have a game of catch.’

The boy says, ‘I can’t, I sold my baseball and my glove.’

The Dad asks, ‘How much did you sell them for?’
Boy: ‘$1,000′

The Dad says, ‘That’s terrible to over charge your friends like that…Those prices were more than those two things cost. I’m taking you to church, to confession.’

They go to the church and the Dad makes the little boy sit in the confessional booth and closes the door.

The boy says, ‘It’s Dark in here.’
The priest says, ‘Don’t start that shit again; you’re in my closet now.’


Note before; this is just a joke.

   
“What we witnessed here in Norton this morning is taboo,” said one of the mourners. “Imagine a woman who buried her child two days ago is already having sex with a married man before the relatives depart.
“Kusiya murume wake akarara nehanzvadzi yake iye kwava kunotora murume wemunhu; zvinonyadzisa,” said one of the mourners. (She left her husband and her brother who were both asleep in the house and proceeded to go out and have sex with a married man; it is shameful.) Nelia buried her child on Friday and relatives were still gathered at House No. K1219 Katanga where she sneaked and had a quality time with Jason over night.

Nelia told her husband Hardlife Manduka (30) that she was going to collect her mobile phone from a friend before spending the whole night with Jason. Nelia confirmed that she had been having an affair with Jason.

“Yes I was found having sex with Jason this morning,” said Nelia. “We have been doing this since June in the car and in my house when my husband occasionally visits Botswana.

“I discovered later that Jason was married and we continued after his wife stumbled upon us twice in my bedroom as we had sex.”

“Hardlife has not been supporting me and the two kids financially. In fact my child died due to malnutrition. If he fails to forgive me I will go to South Africa to look for a job because all my relatives are against me after this,” said Nelia.

Jason fled the house leaving his car. Jason’s wife Melissa Shoko (27) said that she discovered the affair after Jason left Nelia’s mobile phone in his pocket.

“He lied to me that he was arrested for public drinking last night and I quickly suspected that he was with Nelia,” said Melissa.

“I found him twice on Nelia’s bed. I knew that he was lying to me this time around. At one time I called his sister named Charity and we found them naked in Nelia’s bedroom some time in June when my child was just three-months-old.”

Hardlife said that he was lucky to discover this while Nelia’s parents were there and he will leave everything to them to decide the way forward.

Hardlife felt pained as he was still mourning his one-year-old child who passed away last week. “I am still mourning my child and this pains me very much,” said Hardlife. “I did not look for her after she told me that she was going to collect her phone from a friend. Little did I know that it was a boyfriend she was with before I was called by my friends at around 6am to find them busy in that dirty old car!”

“I am lucky that her relatives are here including her brother who disciplined her with a whip. They will talk to me and help me find a way forward. As of me; I love my wife and I did not expect this from her,” said Hardlife.

“Ndabatwa sha chihure chaicho handichazvipamhidza zvakare,” said Jason. “It is my third time being found having sex with that woman and I feel ashamed of that now. As we speak my wife is very cross about it and I love my wife I will never bonk that woman again, it is over.”

The brutal murder of Yusuf Olawale,23, in a beer parlour located at Surulere, Lagos, has left a soar taste in the mouth of his father. Yusuf, popularly known as ‘hunter’ and two of his friends were said to have gone to a beer parlour on Oduduwa Street, to catch some fun but he never envisaged that danger was lurking around the corner.

As they were drinking and listening to music, some agents of death, who were working in the area as gaurds, stormed the beer parlour. The security men were alleged to have attempted to extort some money from Yusuf and his friends, but they resisted it with all their might. The security men, who were attached to a nearby hotel were said to have rushed back to the hotel and came back, armed with gun.

Daily Sun was told how they threw bottles at the beer parlour, an act which was said to have provoked Yusuf and his friends. As they moved closer to the security men to inquire what went amiss, tragedy struck. One of them allegedly pulled the trigger and bullet hit Yusuf in the mouth and chest. He died later. The men didn’t stop there, they also used broken bottles to attack Yusuf’s friends. They were later rushed to a nearby hospital while their assailants bolted.

But the next day, news filtered into the city that security men, guarding a hotel shot and killed Yusuf, and injured two others. Friends and sympathisers of the victims moved to the hotel in search of the attackers and in the process, destroyed property worth about N1 million. Daily Sun gathered that the hotel was set ablaze but the fire was quickly put off by Yusuf’s boss, Akeem while three of the alleged pepetrators were arrested. Yusuf’s father, Mr. Olawale, who wept profusely as he spoke to the reporter, disclosed that the deceased was his only child. “Police, who killed my son? I want to see those who killed my only child. Bring them out from the cell and let me confront them.

“I want to know what my son did wrong before they killed him. Please, bring them out because they owe me an explanation. Area Commander, please, I want you to show me those who killed my son. He is my only child. As I am sitting here in your office, I am prepared to die. Bring those murderers and let them also kill me like they did to my son. That child was my only hope in life. I have no wife and no other child.” “I lost my wife years back. I don’t even have a job now.

That child was my only hope. How am I going to survive without him? Those who killed him did not kill only him, they killed me as well. What am I living for? Who will take care of me? Who will bury me when I die? How can I be the one to bury my only child? (weeping). No, I can’t take it. Bring those who killed my son, let them equally kill me,” Olawale wept profusely. Meanwhile, police said they would not leave any stone unturned, to ensure that the perpetrators of the cruel act were punished according to the law of the land.

Meanwhile, the owner of the hotel, chief Friday Agbaja, has condemned the killing of the young man. He said he would want the law to take its cause. He said: “The security men were employed to secure lives and property in the hotel. What were they doing outside the hotel at about 10.30 pm? What were they doing at the bar? They shouldn’t have left their duty post, to go and make trouble.“They should be punished for their sins. Look at what they have done to this elderly man (pointing at the bereaved). They killed his only child. My God! They killed a child that would have buried him? Who was supposed to bury who?

“This old man has no job as he said, his son had been sustaining him. I had to cancel my travel outside the country because of this problem. I am not even worried about the things they destroyed in my hotel. I am concerned about the young man they sent to his early grave. Money cannot replace life. I am a philanthropist, I have helped many people I do not even know,” Agbaja said.

A man, Akeem, who taught Yusuf printing, appealed to Agbaja to always assist the grieving father financially. The hotel proprietor, however, gave a cheque of N600, 000, to the man, to assist in the burial and also promised to employ Yusuf’s father after his son’s burial.

 




THE self-acclaimed chief spokesman of the dreaded Boko Haram sect, Ali Sanda Umar Konduga, popularly known in media circles as Usman Al-Zawahiri, has been nabbed by the Department of State Security Service (SSS), just as he opened up on those backing the sect.


Fielding questions from newsmen at the SSS headquarters in Abuja, on Monday, Umar named former Governor Ali Modu Sheriff, the late Ambassador Sheidu Pinda and serving Senator Ali Ndume, both of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), as the real brains behind the group in Borno State.


Umar, who spoke through an interpreter, explained that members of the group had a good working relationship with former Governor Sheriff, of the All Nigeria People's Party (ANPP) until he fell out with the group after sacking a member of the group from his cabinet, a commissioner, who was later murdered.


According to him, "Usman Al-Zawahiri is not my real name; it was given to me to portray me as an extremist and as well to conceal my true identity. We were political thugs to former Governor Sheriff until the relationship went sour. We switched over to the late Ambassador Pinda, who promised me N10 million to work for his political party, the PDP, in Borno State during the last elections.


"Unfortunately, Ambassador Pinda died on his way to make the part payment of N5million and Senator Ali Ndume took over from where the late ambassador stopped."


Umar, who described himself as a student under the late Boko Haram leader, Mohammed Yusuf, claimed that Senator Ndume "scripted and relayed" to him all threat text messages he sent to prominent Nigerians.


Those prominent Nigerians, according to him, included former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo; Justice Sabo Adamu and other judges of the Election Petitions Tribunal in Borno State; Governors Sule Lamido of Jigawa State; Babangida Aliyu of Niger State; Ambassador Dalhatu Sarki Tafida, Director-General of President Goodluck Jonathan Presidential Campaign Organisation and Senator Sanusi Dagash, former Works and Housing Minister, among others.


He said that the threat messages were being sent to former President Olusegun Obasanjo based on the belief that he had sympathy for the former and present governors of Borno State, while same messages were sent to Senator Dagash when it became clear to them that he was allegedly going to sabotage the electoral victory of the PDP in Borno State despite the fact that he was a member of the party.


He revealed that the text messages of the group, which forced the Borno State Election Petitions Tribunal to be relocated from Maiduguri to Abuja as well as those sent to the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr Mohammed Adoke, were meant to compel him (AGF) to influence the judgment of the tribunal against the government in Borno State.


He said that the same Senator Ndume, who was a member of the Presidential Committee on the Security in the North-East, promised to supply the telephone numbers of the members of the security committee to the group for necessary action before he was eventually picked up by security operatives.


When questioned about the grievances of the group, Mallam Umar hinged them on what he described as "failed promises and lack of political will on the part of the government to fulfill its numerous promises."

Guy after watching this clip I for one did not see anything wrong with the African men, but to a large percentage the Asian women are to blame.

Cause when you accepted a lift from the DEVIL, what did you THINK? That it will be a jolly RIDE? ( BIG MISTAKE ). Above all if the Asian government want's to burst a DRUG CARTEL, they should go for the BARONS and not street vendors like those girls.

Little did we all know that, that ABOKI never DIS VIRGIN that innocent girl for the fun of having sex but he is a RITUALISE. May the government of that EVIL-State reinstate BAKASSI BOYS.

Boko Haram Gives Conditions For Dialogue, Ceasefire.


ISLAMIC sect, Boko Haram, has said that until its members arrested by the police and detained in various prisons are released unconditionally, dialogue with the Federal Government may not be feasible.

Spokesman of the sect, Abul Qaqa, gave the demands in a phone in interview with newsmen on Thursday in Maiduguri on the “dialogue and implementation” of the Ambassador Galtimari security report on the North-East sub-region of the country.

“We cannot cease our fire and bombings in the North while our arrested members are still in the various prisons,” Qaqa said, stressing that they must all be released before the sect can accept and fully take part in the dialogue with the Federal and Borno state governments.

He added: “The recipe for peace in the North is the unconditional release of all our members in Nigerian prisons. Let me repeat what I said: all our arrested members must be released, before any attempt of going into negotiations with the Federal Government.

“All the top government officials and traditional rulers in the country are however sleeping in the comfort of their rooms and singing the songs of dialogue and cease fire, while our members are being persecuted. This is unacceptable and we will not condone it.”

While taking responsibility for the attacks and bombings of Joint Task Force (JTF) Headquarters in Maiduguri; and Damaturu and Potiskum in Borno and Yobe states respectively on November 4, 2011, he said: “I am calling on President Goodluck Jonathan, Senate President, David Mark, Speaker of the House of Representatives Aminu Tambuwal and the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Bello Adoke to expedite action on the immediate release of all members of the sect.

He gave the name of the suicide bomber who attacked and bombed the anti-terrorism building in Damaturu as Mohammed Usman, alias Baana.

“We see him as an exceptional martyr because it was barely four days after joining the Muslim sect when he pleaded that we should allow him to carry out the attacks and bombings of military and police formations.

“He used a Honda Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) and that was the very day that he learned how to drive. He was a successful businessman and is survived by a wife and son.”

Qaqa said 26-year-old Abi Yusuf was responsible for the bombing of the JTF headquarters in Maiduguri, adding: “Yusuf was also a martyr who we are going to miss a lot because of his outstanding mastery of how to improvise explosive devices used in targeting some of the military and police formations in the North.”

I don't accept  that as CHEATING but "BREAK UP." Break up is like a BROKEN mirror. It is better to leave it broken than to HURT yourself to fix it. Life goes on. Listen girls, if some one you love hurt you. Cry a river, build a BRIDGE, an get over it.

Please get this to your brain and believe me it will HELP you a lot. Do not miss HIM but always miss who you thought he was. Get over it girl.

Jonathan met with the Queen of England. He asked her, "Your Majesty, how do you run such an efficient government? Are there... any tips you can give to me? I want to help Nigeria"
"Well," said the Queen, "the most important thing is to surround yourself with intelligent people." Jonathan frowned, and then asked, "But how do I know the people around me are really intelligent?"
The Queen took a sip off her cup of tea. "Oh, that's easy; you just ask them to answer an intelligent riddle." The Queen pushed a button on her intercom. "Please ... send Tony Blair in here, would you?"
Tony Blair walked into the room and said, "Yes, Your Majesty?" The Queen smiled and said, "Answer me this please. Tony, your mother and father have a child. It is not your brother and it is not your sister. Who is it?"
Without pausing for a moment, Tony Blair answered, "That would be me."
"Yes! Very good," said the Queen.
Jonathan went back home to ask N. Sambo, his vice presidential choice the same question. "Sambo, answer this for me. Your mother and your father have a child. It's not your brother and it's not your sister. Who is it?" "I'm not sure,8-|" said Sambo. "Let me get back to you on that one..." He went to his advisors and asked every one, but none could give him an answer.
Finally, one night, he ran into Dora Akunyili. Sambo asked, “Dora, can you answer this for me? Your mother and father have a child and it's not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"
Dora answered sharply, "That's easy, it's me!
Sambo smiled, and said, "Thanks!" Then, he went back to speak with Jonathan. "Sir, I did some research and I have the answer to that riddle. It's Dora Akunyili!
Jonathan got up angrily,frowning he said to Sambo. No wonder. Nigeria isn't moving forward, I don't have intelligent people around me. You Dummy! The answer is Tony Blair!!!! ℓ☺ℓ

By Emeka Umejei Reporter, Lagos

EIGHTY PERSONS, foreigners and Nigerians, the living and the dead, among them four former Heads of State and two of their wives, as well as former Governors and Ministers – indeed the top echelons of the country’s political and military establishments, including technocrats – have been indicted by the United States law enforcement officials over the N27 billion Halliburton bribery scandal.

Among the foreigners are Jack Chagoury, Gilbert Chagoury, and T.W. Oerlemans, an Australian; but they are rather small fish compared   with indicted former Nigerian Heads of State Ibrahim Babangida, Sani Abacha, Ernest Shonekan, and Abdulsalami Abubakar.


Maryam, the late wife of Babangida; Mariam, the wife of the late Abacha, and his son, the late Ibrahim, are included; likewise Mike Akhigbe, the second in command in the Abdulsalami junta; former Abia State Governor, Orji Kalu; and former military Governors of Rivers State, Anthony Ukpo and Samuel Ewang.


Also among the dead are Abdulkadir Ahmed, former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor; and renowned economist, Pius Okigbo, who headed the probe panel on the Gulf Crude Oil Excess sales set up by the CBN in 1994.


But among those alive are former Petroleum Minister, Rilwanu Lukman, and newly re-appointed National Security Adviser, Aliyu Gusau. (See full list).


According to the report of the investigators, the 80 persons received part of the N27 billion bribe facilitated by foreign contractors for Halliburton to get the contract to build the Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas (NLNG) plant, Africa’s first, in Bonny, Rivers State.


The scandal dates back to 1994 when some foreign companies put up bids for the construction of the plant that was to cost $6 billion.


To win the contract, a joint venture company, named TSKJ, was set up – comprising equal holdings between some companies, Technip (French), Sanmprogetti (Italian), KBR (U.S.), and part of the Halliburton group and Japanese engineering and construction company, JGC.


The investigators said the consortium bribed political leaders and top government functionaries through Tri-Star Investment Limited and Marubeni Inc.


They also recruited British lawyer, Jeffery Tesler, to co-ordinate the affairs of Tri-Star, as well as Wojciech Chodan, an American, to co-ordinate the affairs of Marubeni.


TSKJ mandated Tri-Star to solely take charge of bribing Nigerian officials at senior level, Marubeni was restricted to bribing junior level officials.


Tesler disclosed in a court deposition that TSKJ mandated both companies to bribe the officials.


As part of the investigation, the Swiss Justice Department followed the steps of the Police Judiciare of France, which in 2003, started an investigation that revealed fraudulent Halliburton payments to Tesler.


In the U.S., KBR and Halliburton have admitted to violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) by engaging in a decade-long bribing scheme to secure contracts in Nigeria.


Both agreed to pay a combined fine of $579 million to settle criminal and civil charges brought by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Department of Justice.
