I believe Senator Mohammed Abba-Aji, Special Adviser, SA To President Goodluck Jonathan is crazy. After decades of Struggle to get the Nigeria National assembly to pass the Freedom of Information Bill, the House of Representatives, in a landmark effort, passed the contentious but highly sought after FOI, the question now should be: when and how will the Senate follow suit? But if it all depends on Senator Mohammed Abba-Aji, this hope will be a mirage and all the efforts, a waste!.
The Special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on National Assembly Matters, Senator Mohammed Abba -Aji has said his principal would be advised against assenting to the Freedom of Information Bill if it is eventually passed by the two chambers of the National Assembly.

- London's key role as family plundered £60billion
Elombah.com investigators have unearthed how Colonel Gaddafi and his family plundered Libya's oil-wealth and secretly squirrelled away up to £60 billion in accounts, investments and wealth funds across the globe.
What is particularly appalling elombah.com was told is that London has again confirmed itself as the money laundering capital of the world and United Kingdom as the major recipient of ill-gotten wealth. Since Tony Blair offered the "hand of friendship" in 2004, aides to the tyrant revealed he preferred operating in London because of the "ease of doing business" and the "relatively uncomplicated tax system". One estimate puts his British investments at £10 billion.
