Nigerians among the rich that hide cash offshore —Investigation
Written by Laolu Afolabi Friday, 05 April 2013 00:50
NIGERIAN politicians and businessmen, families and associates have been listed among names behind covert companies and private trusts in the British Virgin Islands, the Cook Islands and other offshore hideaways.
The secret records obtained by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) laid bare names behind covert companies and private trusts in the offshore hideaways.
The list also included American doctors and dentists; middle-class Greek villagers, Wall Street swindlers, Eastern European and Indonesian billionaires, Russian corporate executives, international arms dealers and a sham-director-fronted company that the European Union has labelled as a cog in Iran’s nuclear-development programme.
A cache of 2.5 million files cracked open the secrets of more than 120,000 offshore companies and trusts, exposing hidden dealings of politicians, con men and the mega-rich the world over.
The new leak confirmed the allegation of involvement in shady deals against some Nigerian millionaires and politicians and the calls by some non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and other civil society organisations on the need to probe the wealth of many Nigerians.
The leaked files provided facts and figures on cash transfers, incorporation dates, links between companies and individuals and illustrated how offshore financial secrecy had spread around the globe, allowing the wealthy and the well-connected to dodge taxes and fueling corruption and economic woes in rich and poor nations alike.
The records detailed the offshore holdings of people and companies in more than 170 countries and territories.
The hoard of documents represented the biggest stockpile of inside information about the offshore system ever obtained by a media organisation.
The total size of the files, measured in gigabytes, is more than 160 times larger than the leak of United States (US) State Department documents by Wikileaks in 2010.
To analyse the documents, ICIJ collaborated with reporters from The Guardian and the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in the United Kingdom (UK), Le Monde in France, Süddeutsche Zeitung and Norddeutscher Rundfunk in Germany, The Washington Post, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) and 31 other media partners around the world.
Eighty-six journalists from 46 countries used high-tech data crunching and shoe-leather reporting to sift through emails, account ledgers and other files covering nearly 30 years.
“I’ve never seen anything like this. This secret world has finally been revealed,” said Arthur Cockfield, a law professor and tax expert at Queen’s University in Canada, who reviewed some of the documents during an interview with the CBC.
He said the documents reminded him of the scene in the movie classic, “The Wizard of Oz,” in which “they pull back the curtain and you see the wizard operating this secret machine.”
Anti-corruption campaigners argued that offshore secrecy undermined law and order and forced average citizens to pay higher taxes to make up for revenues that vanished offshore.
Studies have estimated that cross-border flows of global proceeds of financial crimes total between $1 trillion and $1.6 trillion a year.
The 15-month investigation found that, alongside perfectly legal transactions, the secrecy and lax oversight offered by the offshore world allowed fraud, tax dodging and political corruption to thrive.
Offshore financial industry leak exposes identities of thousands of holders of anonymous wealth from around the world, as millions of internal records leaked from Britain’s offshore financial industry, exposing, for the first time, the identities of thousands of holders of anonymous wealth from around the world.
The documents also provided possible new clues to crimes and money trails that have gone cold.

I want to take a moment to thank the THOUSANDS of you who gave your names to the petition signatures of my Change.org petition for Philam Life Theater.
As a 'foreigner', my little mission in support of the Philam Theater would not mean much without being the representation of the multitudes of Filipinos who hold the hall dear to their hearts. The fact is that I hardly feel myself to be an outsider, as I care very much for the Filipino artistic spirit. In times such as these, this spirit needs a strong voice, and that voice belonged to all of you who expressed your unwavering support of Philam Life Theater.
The journey is only now beginning. And I thank you all for joining it, and feel hugely honored to go on this journey with you as well.
I also want to thank Christine Roque of Change.org for her commitment to helping petitions on the site to gain ground.
MARAMING SALAMAT PO SA LAHAT!

Some businesses recorded a disappointing Easter, while others say they have had record years. What do you think Bridlington needs to attract visitors in the chilly winter and spring months?

I saw a post today that said What would Martin Luther King think today. Here is what I think.
Okay, we have a Black President the most powerful man in the world a black first lady and very well mannered black 1st children. We have strong black men and women in corporate positions. We have black entertainers and sports figures that have parlayed their celebrity into mega million dollar empires. But we still allow our low self worth to be perpetuated in the media our homes our schools and our places of worship. Think about this Black on Black Crime is just crime period. If you live around Black people and you are a murderer then more than likely you will kill a Black person, if White a White person, Hispanic a Hispanic person. No one has ever labeled the Sandy Hook tragedy White on White crime, so why then do we allow them to put a seal of indictment on our whole community for the acts of the few. We are also poisoned by perception at the word nigger. Think about this just like why we call St. Nicholas Santa Claus, it came because of an ignorant interpretation of pronunciation play with saying St. Nicholas at various speeds and infections and you will come up with Santa Claus. Niger in Latin literally means black it is the root word in some shape or form to many languages. When American slave traders heard the variations they began to use it as derogatory. Here are the two major problems for us. To say that nigger is derogatory is to say that black is derogatory in and of itself by the theory of root words. Also when we allow this thought to perpetuate then those who use it in the negative can use it like a self destruct button raising all kinds of negative reaction from us at just the right time.
