According to a report by
Wall Street Journal, the US is considering a visa ban and financial ban on Nigeria's former Petroleum Minister Alison-Madueke following alleged bribery, corruption and laundering money through British and U.S. banks. Read the report below
American officials have also considered a visa ban or financial
sanctions against Mrs. Alison-Madueke and a dozen of her associates, oil
officials and politicians, U.S. officials said. Washington is
scrutinizing whether her associates laundered money in the U.S., the
U.K. and other countries, the officials said.
Both the State
Department and the U.K.’s National Crime Agency declined to comment on
their investigations: “We continue to work with Nigeria to fight
corruption,” a State Department official said.
Together, the
litany of legal actions—conducted on three continents— point to a swift
but uncertain precedent for Africa’s struggle against corruption.
“The real issue is the signaling effect: that holding public office in Nigeria should not be a license to plunder,” said Bismarck Rewane,
managing director of Lagos research firm Financial Derivatives Co.
“It’s working. The number of bribes I’m being asked for has dropped.”
For
the better part of a decade, graft fighters in Africa, having lost
faith in their own courts, have asked judges in Europe and America to
wage their battles.

Super imbecilic story.visa ban my fat ass. Were is atiku,tinubu the dug barron,mallam amechi the campaign funder,sanusi the pedophile CBN criminal,fashola the website and borehole criminal,obasanjo the chief looter and kwankwaso the criminal,they are there working freely an buhari the terrorist sponsor is here bringing nigeria name to mud in the name of fighting corruption which we all know is a scam an fraud.
Diezeni is not corrupt as those folks i mention she is innocent so USA are just players playing on nigeria inteligence.
I weep for nigeria under imbecilic docile buhari.
#sad indeed
Woooow with every passing day,more hot coals are being heaped on this woman.When we voted for change,we knew the consequences. I don't gerrit why some Nigerians are being sympathetic to looters.Witch hunt or not,are they not guilty?
Ok. Let's see how it goes
akuko ndi yard
it is well
I have read so many lies on this issue. Am just tired of all this fake and baseless stories.
We wholeheartedly support all efforts both at home and abroad to bring to justice, all those responsible for embezzlement of public funds.
Impressive
Its about time they all return home and answer for their crimes.
This is a welcomed development.

O beta
Good
Lord av mercy dey are hitting her with everything dis woman has really lost her credibility she is going down so fast
I just pray US won't scatter Nigeria d way they scattered d arab world
I don't know what to make of this Diezani . Fact public figures including politicians past & presents since 1970s onwards have embezzled public funds without serious reaction for recovery. Thievery by politicians who own expensive properties abroad- Switzerland,London etc were common knowledge. Why is Diezani's case appear as a novelty?Abi She tiff pass the rest who are even ministerial nominees? Gender discrimination is screaming here!
Nigerians will say it witch hunt....Nigerians condole corruptions that's the reason the politicians get away with it and when they are investigated they get supporters to shout witch hunt.
This Diezani case is really getting me wondering what is going on. Public figure including polliticians have caused act of thievery since in the 1970s onwards without much fuss. They've embezzled public funds for their own benefits with unsuccessful probes that usually collapsed ( after several bribes) money used in acquiring expensive properties abroad & enriching their Swiss accounts never mind houses in London & Switzerland etc. Diezani's alleged fund misappropriation isn't unique or is it? Where she 'tiff' pass the rest? Current ministerial nominees lists are full of people guilty of this alleged crime! As a woman there is gender discrimination screaming here!
It's called nemesis. #Paybacktime
Anything dey do to her no concern moi! Linda take note!
Anything dey do to her no concern moi! Linda take note!
Anything dey do to her no concern moi! Linda take note!
#Freeborn zinalima Even doe you proclaim that Dezani is not corrupt as does folks, at least you should be happy that a corrupt leader is hunt down and pray that the rest would be caught respectively instead of complaining.
A'ight.
Why are they considering? They should do it already!
I can say authentically that Diezani Alison-Madueke has American Green-card i.e. She has US citizenship. I wonder why US is talking about visa for someone that has her citizenship. Curious....

Good for her......no peace for d wicked
I hope it doesn't end as usual. Money the root of evil.
Having a U.S. green card is not the same thing as U.S. citizenship. A U.S. green card can be revoked.
Na wa and I really admired this woman never knew she was di corrupt ...cus I no alll I mean allll politicians are corrupt... A woman to have shuld a mind omg!! So bad well just must take it course......a disgrace anyway......but I come to wonder all dis corruptions are just from the PDP what about the APC*suspicion*

After her children will come out to rebuff this claim. Wall Street Journal is an authoritative source so the children should go bury their heads in the sand of shame. The era of flying private jets and whisking Nigeria’s money to overseas countries is over!!!
This guy is the best commenter here.
Which one is your blog? Are you making it?
The press have had a field day conjuring endless sensational stories about Diezani. I refuse to believe any of these stories until she physically appears in court. Even in the Ibori saga, story no plenty like this.
Eyah! Sorry for your loss.....loss of your common sense.
Thank you o @ Anonymous 10:55. Biko, get your facts straight before you post anything that makes you look ignorant, Anonymous 10:45.

Hmm.......what is imbecilc?......this ur grammar fit wake dead man from grave o
Nigeria is making soup with the US now in the same pot...its looking like love now... I hope they won't show their true colours sooner... as for Alison, she can be comfortable anywhere she is so I don't get the visa ban ish... They should just collect the money and bring home finish
Na lie! Part of the smear campaign. It is not true.

it seems the major issue here is" the fact that Diezani is female and clearly on some revenge list or black book of the west . Rotimi still made the ministerial list -Despite widespread knowledge of his high level thievery and the use of salaries of poor civil servants in Rivers State to fund Bihari's election. many died because they could not afford their meds or pay deposits to be teal or pay deposits to be treated in hospital while he was flying around in the state jet: Yet. he was allowed to enter the USA. Abi na cia operative im be? How can such defiant stealing be okay? Reminds me of when folks like ldi Amin, Ghaddafi and Mubarak were "friendlies" to the west.
Thanks for sharing such a nice piece of information, I have pinned your blog and hope to read more interesting things.
