Deziani: My Friend Sanusi Betrayed Me With Outrageous $20 Billion Claim


Nigeria's former petroleum minister, Diezani Alison Madueke, considers Emir of Kano Muhammadu Sanusi as a friend.

“Sanusi and I had been friends. There was no way I would have done anything bad to him," she said in a recent interview.
Emir Sanusi when he was governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, had alleged that $20bn was missing from the state's coffers under Diezani's leadership.
“If there is one issue I must pursue in this world, it is the biggest lie of this money. How can $20billion disappear just like that? Where did it disappear to? Is it possible that such an amount would not be traceable?” she said.
“This is more painful coming from someone I considered a good friend who should appreciate the gravity of such allegation.
She also said she discussed the Emir's interest to become president of the African Development Bank.

JOKE: AKPORS: Like father, like son

Akpors and his father were visiting the shopping mall for the first time. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and back together again. Akpors asked his father, AKPORS: “Daddy what is this?” His father [never having seen an elevator] responded; DAD: “Akpors, I have never seen anything like this in my life before, I don’t know what it is.” While Akpors and his father were watching wide-eyed, an old woman of 72 years of age walked towards the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the woman rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed and Akpors and his father watched small circles of lights with numbers above the walls light up. They continued to watch the circles light up in the reverse direction. The walls opened up again and a beautiful young woman of 22 years of age stepped out. Akpors’ father said to him, DAD: “Run fast, go and bring your mother.”
