The U.K set to return the money seized from Ibori back to Nigeria.

The UK, after much reviews and conclusion,  has agreed to return an additional £6.8m (1.7 billion naira) to Nigeria from the money seized from the jailed ex-Governor of Delta State, Chief James  Onanefe Ibori.


This was revealed by UK Metropolitan Police Senior Investigator, Mr. Rupert Broad, yesterday November 4th in London according to a report by NAN. Out of the £8 million  (2 billion naira) confiscated from Ibori, £1.2 million (300 million) had so far been returned to Nigeria.






There are reports that an additional £80 million has been temporarily seized and a confiscation hearing has been fixed for April 2015 before the judge decides exactly how much was stolen out of the £80 million and then return it to Nigeria.
Ibori who is still serving a jail term, was sentenced by the British South-crown Court in April 2012 for 13 years after being convicted for fraud and money laundering.

The real meaning of "X" in Xmas

Image
They will tell you "X" is a greek letter (chi) meaning christos. Don't mind them. Have you heard the classic story about the little boy who noticed the huge red-and-green sign spray-painted on a department store: "Happy Xmas." And he wondered aloud about the X. Why was it X-mas? And finally, in a forlorn voice, he asked his dad: "Did they cross Christ out of Christmas, Daddy?" And the father had never thought of it that way before, but finally nodded. "Yes, Son, I guess they did." And it makes you think.
