Nigerian Governors Sign Bogus MOU with Foreign Firms

One of such is Ondo State government. See excerpt below from ThisDay:
Nigerian High Commissioner to India, Ambassador Mohammed Lawal Dutsima, has raised alarm over fake promissory notes and Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) entered into by state governors and Indian companies.
Dutsima, who received in audience, Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, yesterday said several state governments entered into bogus MoUs with Indian firms without honouring them, to the embarrassment of the High Commission.
“ It is embarrassing that some state governors come to India and sign MoU, which they do not pursue. It is not good to sign such document if you have no intention of seeing it through.
I have been approached by some companies on this issue and I have passed on the complaint to my Ministry.”It is sad that while countries like Ghana , Uganda and others are optimising such opportunities and growing at a fast pace, we are not making use of such opportunities.
They are collaborating and it is working for them,†he said and pleaded with the senators to speak with their state government, especially that of Ondo, who abandoned over $33,000 in an Indian Bank after suspending a scholarship project about a decade ago.“Is Ondo State House of Assembly Speaker or any lawmaker from the state here? Please tell them to collect the money they have abandoned in an Indian bank

I am impressed that the present crop of Governors attempt to be sophisticated when it comes to siphoning public funds. Their fate will be like those before them. Could be worse actually. Many will die in jail. How has it been I defitely owe you an explanation.

Hopefully Agagu will be the first to…rot in hell, for he indeed has stolen so much from Nigeria. OK so Maradonna has stolen and bought mansions worth millions of dollars and walks free in Nigeria, so many think they can do the same and get away with it. Na lie, if you dont believe me, please ask Madam Speaker - Madame Etteh

DEAR COMPATRIOTS
IT HAS JUST COME TO MY ATTENTION RIGHT NOW THAT SOMEONE PRETENDING TO BE “OMOTAYLOR†HAS WRITTEN A FALSE COMMENT ON A SITE CALLED ONDO Sâ€TATE FORUMâ€. I WISH TO STATE THAT THIS IS NOT ME AND SOME LOW DOWN GUTLESS UNSCRUPULOUS HALF EDUCATED NIT WITS ARE TRYING TO IMPERSONATE ME IN ORDER TO CAUSE CONFUSION. BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD, THEY WILL FAIL. MORE THAN OBASANJO DID WHEN HE TRIED TO CAST ASPERSIONS ON DR MIMIKOS CHARACTER, I SAY THESE AGENTS OF LUCIFER WILL FAIL AND BE OPENLY DISGRACED IN JESUS NAME. NEVERTHELESS I AM NOT TOO SURPRISED (THOUGH CAUGHT UNAWARES). THIS IS WHAT THE AGAGU/ONDO PDP STAND FOR, LIES, IMPERSONATION, CORRUPTION AND FALSITIES. THEY WILL ALWAYS HIDE UNDER SATAN’S UMBRELLA TO DO THEIR EVIL WORKS AND AS ALWAYS THEY WILL FAIL AND BE DISGRACED. ALL THEIR COUNSEL WILL TURN TO FOOLISHNESS IN JESUS NAME. THEY WILL MEET THEIR ENDS JUST THE WAY KING SAUL, AHITOPHEL, JUDAS, JEZEBEL, AHAB AND ABACHA DID IN JESUS NAME.
I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY HOPE TO GAIN BUT I FEEL HAPPY THAT THIS SUCCESSFUL AND CLEAN WEBSITE IS GIVINN THEM ENOUGH PROBLEMS FOR THEM TO RESORT TO ANY MEANS AND BY JESUS NAME THEY WILL BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE AND WE SHALL SEE THEIR SHAME SOON WHEN MIMIKO IS GIVEN BACK HIS MANDATE.
MY BIBLE TELLS ME TO WATCH AND PRAY FOR WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF ENEMIES AND MY LORD JEHOVA WILL NOT LET EVIL TRIUMPH OVER ANY OF US IN JESUS NAME. I URGE YOU ALL TO WATCH AND PRAY AND NOT TO LET LYING. CHEATING, HALF EDUCATED IMPOSTORS AND NITWITS WITH THEIR BRAINS UNDER THEIR FEET CAUSE ANY FORM OF DISCORD AMONGST US.
I OMOTAYLOR WILL NEVER DINE WITH THE DEVIL. I WILL NEVER COMMEND AGAGU AND HIS EVIL IN ONDO STATE AND WILL NEVER BE SEEN JOINING IN DEBATES IN FORUMS CREATED BY DESPERATE, HALF DEAD IDIOTS. THEY CANT EVEN SPELL, SHAME.
THANKS TO THOSE WHO BROUGHT THIS TO MY NOTICE.
