        There is a 97% chance that the money is stashed somewhere in a British Protectorate.. Cayman islands but the BBC can't let you get the western media and government hypocrisy while addressing the problems in Africa..

        Or in Panama..The entire debacle is a farce. Someone trying to flex his brains rather sarcastically. Blaming it all on the cold blooded creature is ridiculous.

        Every country and society has a corrupt leader, but when they have a powerful country like the UK supporting them; hiding money for them, and a world class media like the BBC spinning the narrative for them, what's the average Nigerian to do??

        Then what's responsible journalism for?? Its the Western governments, banks, and corrupt "leaders" strategically placed in Africa who profit from the loot and the western media(like BBC) spins the narrative to blame the victims of this state perpetrated corruption.
