Drama in Arisekola's household over missing 30 Million Naira

Barely 24 hours after the death of Ibadan billionaire, Aare Arisekola Alao some of his children and domestic were at loggerheads over a missing 30 million naira from his bedroom.
It was revealed that the Aare who thought he would return to Nigeria after a brief medical check-up in the United Kingdom instructed his account officer to deliver some amount of money (30 million naira in cash) to his Ikolaba home.
It was confirmed that the account officer brought the money which was allegedly collected by one of his children who claimed to have kept him inside the deceased's bedroom as he was been instructed by him.
It was further gathered that immediately after the sad news of the Aare Musulumi's demise reached his home, the money developed wings and vanished into thin air and created a ripple amongst the children and some of the domestic staffers who traded accusation and counter-accusation over the missing money.
One of the late billionaire's sons who was with him in London where he gave up the ghost claimed he was present when their father was giving instructions to one of their brothers on where to keep the money which he planned to spend on his return. Part of the money was said to have been planned to be used to procure food and materials towards the Ramadan for the needy who usually storm the Ikolaba, Ibadan home of the late business mogul.
The missing money was said to have created a rancour among the billionaire's children who claimed they suspected one of their brothers and their father's cook(his longest serving staff) as the culprits as they were both the only people allowed to go inside his bedroom which was said to have a large vault where the late billionaire keeps his money and other valuables.
A source revealed that the 'Aare' who had a premonition on his death (according to his physician's report) was said to have been careful with the cash he keeps in his room for the past few months.
It was also claimed that the man in preparation of his death has directed that the two lions in his mini-zoo be given to the zoo of the University of Ibadan while some of his close friends also revealed that he already marked a spot beside where his mother was buried as his final resting place.
Another source also revealed that the late billionaire was said to have revealed to some people close to him that he had few time to spend if the medical reports were right, a statement his friends and family asked him not to make again with the finality that 'there's nothing God cannot do'.
His health status was said to have blown to the public after his argument with one of his closest aides (a top politician in Ibadan) who told him on the phone 'Aare why are you doing this to me? Despite you knowing that you have just six months to spend alive'. The Aare Musulumi was said to have died barely a month after the phone-conversation/confrontation he had with his protege.
The Aare Musulumi who died a week and some days ago was a popular businessman and one of the richest men in Ibadan.
The philanthropist who had huge investments and the biggest share in First Bank Nigeria is a pillar of support to a lot of people who benefit daily from his generosity.
His will which many had predicted would have pitched his family members and legal team against themselves was read to his children, wives and other concerned relatives recently in Ibadan.

Kinsman at war with Gov Okorocha (alleged him of spending 5.5 Billion Naira in 3 years

Aboh Mbaise is a Local Government Area of Imo State, Nigeria. Its headquarters are in the town of Aboh. It has an area of 184 square km and a population of 195,652 at the 2006 census. The postal code of the area is 462.Aboh Mbaise Local Government Area is one of the Local Government Areas created in 1976. Aboh Mbaise L.G.A. is bounded on the North by Ahiazu Mbaise and Ikeduru LGA’s on the North-West and South-West by Ngor-Okpala and Owerri North LGA’s while on the North-East and South East it is bounded by Ezinihitte Mbaise LGA and Isiala-Ngwa South LGA of Abia State. Aboh Mbaise LGA lies between two state capitals, Owerri and Umuahia along Owerri-Umuahia express road. From Owerri, the Imo State Capital Aboh Mbaise Local Government Area is about 23km while from Umuahia it is 25km. From Eke Ahiara Junction, Ahiazu Mbaise, the Local Government Headquarters, Aboh is just about 10km.
A huge con game is taking place in Aboh Mbaise Local Government Area of Imo State. The quantity and quality of life for the Aboh Mbaise people in the grassroots of the state vis-à-vis the basic means of living have drastically plummeted. This, it must be stressed, is due to the unprecedented looting of the local government funds of Aboh Mbaisi by Governor Rochas Okorocha and his handpicked local government care-taker officials for 3 years now.

From May 2011 to December 2013  Aboh Mbaise  LGA in Imo State  received N5,592,911085.45 ( five billion five hundred and ninety million nine hundred and eleven thousand eighty five naira forty five kobo) as allocation from FG. Where are the monies?  Imagine how  Aboh Mbaise LGA would have  look like today if five billion naira was invested into development of the LGA?

Governor Rochas Okorocha is looting our LGA allocation and  is spending millions of our money junketing the globe and entertaining his friends and political associates in Nigeria and abroad while  the poor and working people of Imo State are  made to go through excruciating austerity – a case of more meat for the big fat few, and dried bone for the  hungry majority.

It is all over the news that Governor Rochas Okorocha and 171 others comprising Commissioners, political appointees and CGC officials left Imo state for Turkey at the weekend for another political jamboree. The Governor claims he is on a trip  to woe investors. The money used to fund this irresponsible and embarrassing  trip comes from LGA funds such as that of Aboh Mbaise.

For a State  in Nigeria like  Imo State  where  Governor Okorocha  has made  virtually all the 27 LGA’s  in the state to be in  comatose, the idea of  his  flying   to Turkey with 117 members of his cabinet is another  grand design by this  capitalist politician and his  cohorts  who severally and unapologetically have  debased the Imo economy to the rotten state it has found itself in the first place to find another ‘vista’ for haemorrhaging the already pale economy of Imo State.

as I write the 27 Local Government Areas in Imo State are in  comatose  whereas 132.3 billion Naira  sent as allocation  to our LGA’s  from  May 2011- December 2013  has already developed wings and found homes  in Germany, Turkey and  England  where the Governor, his family and cronies have deployed it to build edifices, Hotels and Homes for themselves. Okorocha  has refused to organize LGA  elections  in Imo State for 3 years now  because  he is looting our LGA funds.

From May 2011 to December 2011 the 27 LGA’s of Imo State received as allocation the sum of  N33,237,734,409.59. where is the money? From  January  2012 to December 2012 Imo LGA’s received as allocation the sum of N47,399,708,917.13 while from  January 2013 to December 2013 Imo LGA’s received as allocation the sum of N51,735,979,734  making a total of  N132,373,423,060 received for our LGA’s from May 2011 to December 2013. Where the money? Okorocha has looted all these monies.Yet some persons want us to clap for him. No developmental project have been carried out in any community by the Local Government  councils in Imo State since 2011, the result, a comatose rural area begging to be attended to. ? Yet Governor Okorocha wants us to vote for him again  as governor of Imo State in 2015. What moral right has Governor Okorocha to ask for votes from Imolites when he deprived the same Imolites democracy at the grass root of Imo State?

Do we continue to allow the governor of Imo State to deprive local governments of the funds needed to build schools, roads, motor parks, markets etc.? Do we continue to herald him with the title “His Excellency” when he has made us beggars and impoverished us in a perpetual state of squalor?

Do we continue to clap for Owelle Rochas Okorocha at the commissioning of petty projects, which is far below the commensurate allocation given to him? Are we going to vote Okorocha again in 2015? Let’s ask questions now ,otherwise we shall continue to cry aloof with no one to beckon on us. We shall bear the pains of our parents been rejected in the hospitals for our inability to pay their medical bills, our siblings shall continue to be denied admission because of free education on paper while schools are denied developmental funds. Next week we will talk about Ahiazu Mbaise LGA funds.

Arisekola’s death, a collective loss - Makinde

Bamanga Tukur and Engr. Seyi Makinde

Engr. Seyi Makinde and one of the leading gubernatorial candidate under the Peoples Democreatic Party in Oyo State has described the late Alh Abdul Azeez Arisekola Alao, the Aare Musulumi of Yorubaland, as an illustrious son of Ibadanland, international businessman, renowned Islamic clergy in Nigeria and a multi-talented orator that not only Nigerians will miss but also the muslim community all over the world.

He made this assertion during his condolence visit to the family of the late bussiness mogul in company with the chairman of Nigeria railway corporation and former PDP chairman, Alhaji Bamanga  Tukur with other top national officers of the party.

In his words, "I have hoped in vain that his death is another rumour, soon to be debunked but as the reality done on me, it became a great shock".

"Indeed, a very great man has just passed away; may God grant members of the immediate family and everyone of us the grace to bear this loss".

Also,

the Prelate Emeritus, Methodist Church Nigeria, Dr. Sunday Ola Makinde, has described the death of Aare-Musulumi of Yorubaland, Alhaji Azeez Arisekola-Alao, as a collective loss to Nigerians.

Speaking during a condolence visit to the residence of the deceased at Oluwo-Nla, Basorun, Ibadan, on Thursday, Dr. Makinde said the deceased was a tribalised Nigerian who used his stupendous wealth for mankind.

“He was patriotic to the core, a lover of God and humanity.

“I commiserate with the state governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, the Olubadan of Ibadanland, the Sultan of Sokoto, his family and the entire people of Ibadanland,”
