It is my privilege to brief the Federal Government of Nigeria, Human Right Organization and Child abuse, the less privileged in the society, the Nigerian States Security Service the extent of corruption and wickedness being committed by some Nigerians-at home and abroad.Speaking from the background of Beirut-Lebanon where I reside, I wish to correct the recent image of the Nigerian Embassy as portrayed by some unpatriotic and greedy fellows that call themselves the “Nigerian Community in Lebanon ”.First, I wish to thank the Federal Government of Nigeria for the reopening of the Nigerian Embassy in Beirut after some years of closure. In fact, the Nigerian Embassy have disclosed and disorganized the activities of some unpatriotic and barbaric Nigerians who have been using some tricks and deceptions to make merchandise of their fellow relatives and friends in Nigeria . I will not fail to hail the effort of Ambassador Abdul Wahab and his diplomats who brought to an end both the existence and activities of the co-owner of the child trafficking company in Lebanon . His name was Mr.John Amechi Chizoba [alias John Ernest]. Mr. John Chizoba was working with a one time most wanted criminal in Nigeria-Mr. Ernest Chidiac. As Lebanese, Mr. Ernest Chidiac ran to Lebanon and used his mischievous connections to take many girls to Lebanon-most of whom came through Mr. John Chizoba. They were both arrested and charged for child trafficking and using one passport to smuggle illegal immigrants to Lebanon from Nigeria and other African countries.

Dear readers, it’s quite a pity to inform you that some of those girls died a mysterious death while some are still unaccounted for this day. Others escaped and ran to the Nigerian Embassy to explain their ordeals. Of course, they received an unexpected assistance. Most of those girls were later rescued before final arrest of both Mr. John Chizoba and Mr. Ernest Chidiac. Mr. John was later deported while Mr. Ernest was released. Anyhow, Mr. John came back to Beirut with another identity and new passport. But luck was against him as he was rearrested , detained and finally deported the second time.

WHO IS AMBASSADOR ALI ASSAYOUTI ??

His Excellency,Ambassador Ali Assayouti was the immediate successor of Ambassador Abdul Wahab.

On his arrival, His Excellency Ambassador Ali Assayouti was briefed about the activities of both Messr.John Chizoba and Ernest Chidiac and their child trafficking company. He went through their hip of case files and all reports brought by Nigerians against them. Dear readers,let me inform you also that some shameless Nigerians took the same business of Mr. John Chizoba with Mr. Ernest Chidiac to continue the human trade. These Nigerians with their Lebanese partners continued to bring young girls from Nigeria for prostitution and cheap labour. These expert criminals / 419ners use one International Passport to smuggle ladies and men from Nigeria via Syria . Please, let me brief about their business .While these girls work for 18hours daily, they receive Two Thousand Naira [#2000]monthly instead of Three Hundred Dollars[$300 U.S. ]. The so-called relative or friend that brought her to Lebanon would tell her that her salary is deposited for her in the bank in Nigeria . This was absolutely contrary to the initial agreement reached while the girl was still in Nigeria . Sad still, enough money will not given to her because the assumed deposited amount in the bank will later turn to be a story.

My fellow country men and women, it is such as these saboteurs and their aides that the accussed Ambassador Ali Assayouti and the staff of the Nigerian Embassy and faithful Nigerians have refused to accord any respect. Like every good and faithful representative of the President of a country, His Excellency Ambassador Ali Assayouti has refused to meddle justice with injustice, truth with lies, and patriotism with corruption. Indeed, Ambassador Ali Assayouti have used his discretion and position to better the lives of many Nigerians and citizens of other African countries in Beirut [many are here that can testify to this]. He is such a man that does not keep deaf ears to someone’s predicaments. He loves to share people’s burdens at any cost. Nevertheless, the questions any intelligent and wise person like you and I should ask are: 1.Who are those blackmailers of His Excellency Ambassador Ali Assayouti and his staff in Beirut ? [2]How and why is it now that the propaganda article written against him after 4years of sacrificial service in Beirut ?

My most respectable and intelligent fellows, let me use this medium to inform you that the blackmailers are those hoodlums whose evil activities had been checked by the presence of the Nigerian Embassy in Beirut. The Nigerian Embassy has refused to renew those passports that were issued to non-citizens through the back doors. The Nigerian Embassy have also refused to sign any suspicious or ambiguous documents that belong to those human traffickers that will jeopardize the interest and peace of Nigerian men and women. Indeed, many people have suffered much emotional and psychological injuries in the hands of these greedy and repentant human traffickers [especially ladies]before they were rescued by the Nigerian Embassy. Thank God for the reopening of the Nigerian Embassy in Beirut . However, those hypocrites, and their words and motives are clearly visible in the propaganda article that was posted in the internet . We already know who they are and how they operate. Their motive is to accusse every staff of the Nigerian Embassy to distract their attention so that they can expand their evil businesses. Their faces also can not be masked from their victims and other Nigerians here in Beirut . In fact,this is the handiwork of those greedy and selfish individuals that are doomed to ruin the good image of our country by their heinous crimes. May God forgive them.

NOW LET US REASON TOGETHER !!

1.Does it mean that the Nigerian Embassy have not done anything good to benefit her citizens in Beirut ? Just think about it !

2.Does it mean that all the staff of the Nigerian Embassy are evil and corrupt except the Secretary, Mrs.Josephine Chukwudi ? Nothing was said about her…positive or negative. Can you imagine that !

3.Why is it only the Patron and President of the so-called Nigerian Community were humiliated by the Nigerian Embassy ? How about other executives of the Community ? Look at that !

Anyhow, as far as I’m aware, the office of the Nigerian Embassy have been open to welcome anyone within the limited time of working hours and visiting time. High security and restrictions were imposed when the so-called Patron, Mr.Cletus Ekeh and his friends Messrs,Jide Mohamed and Shefiu Olaroye Amin and Ismaheel Gboyega mobilized us [few Nigerians] to smuggle some drugs into the office of the Embassy while they standby to alert the Lebanese Authority to search the auditorium. However, this plot was foiled when one of the gangs was later arrested and still in prison. Although, the Diplomats were not the main target but Mr.Ibrahim Bashar. The accused Mr.Ibrahim Hamza Bashar was the target because according to them, Mr.Ibrahim has hijacked the chances of Mr.Cletus and his friends from getting employed in the Embassy which they had hoped for. Besides, Mr.Ibrahim has also revealed their crucked means of extorting money from some innocent individuals [especially the Nigerians] to the Ambassador. Therefore ,they took offence and bet to ruin his credibility and joy by any means and at any cost. Besides, both tribal , sectional and personal sentiments run through their veins against Mr.Ibrahim Bashar.

Meanwhile the last plot we had was to bring the Nigerian Embassy building to ashes so that the Embassy will be closed permanently by the Federal Government of Nigeria. This was planned when the Embassy officials had evacuated some Nigerians to Syria during the Hezbollah and Isreali war last year. This time the “green snake of the Embassy”, Mrs.Josephine Chukwudi was the director of the plot while her secret-boyfriend, Mr.Cletus Ekeh was the ring-leader. Mr.Ekeh has been in Lebanon since 1974 and have never visited home. His speaks Arabic more than he does Ibo language. This why he feels that he suppose to work with the Embassy. But what about his human trafficking trade ? Anyhow, the plot of setting the Embassy building was again hindered by the sudden visit of the Consul, Mr. M.Adamu from Syria that evening after a sabotaged phone call was made to them from Beirut .Now dear reader, if you were in the shoes of His Excellency Amb.Ali Assayouti ,what would you do?

If the accused Ambassador and his Diplomats could not use any harsh steps to deal with us [the terrorists],how then could they connive with the Lebanese Authority to arrest and deport helpless Nigerians because of Papers ? Just consider how outlandish, slanderous and unjustifiable these allegations are. That is quite fictitious. Besides, the same Ambassador has single-handedly ordered the immediate realize of one Mrs. Helen Friday[a Nigerian woman]who was boarded into a flight and ready to be deported back to Nigeria by her wicked master. And in the same way, he has rescued many Nigerians from the hands of their wicked and insatiable employers. Many will testify to this too. In fact, we are looking forward to having people like Ambs.Abdul Wahab and Ali Assayouti in our midst here in Lebanon . The Consul, Mr. M.Adamu has not time of rest or enjoyment for himself. His doors are always open to welcome complaints from Nigerians. He works seven days even after his normal office hours. In fact, to accuse him of incompetence, money consciousness and negligence is absolute madness, ignorance and nonsensical. I speak as an insider !

Finally, my fellow countrymen and women, intellectuals of academic institutions, Diplomatic personnel, political and religious institutions, representatives of various ministries and organizations, Human Right Organization and Activists, broadcasters and the press, truth seekers and peace lovers, I am neither a solicitor nor a campaigner. But I’m speaking because I was puzzled to come across such a slanderous and diabolic article written against this clean-minded, sympathetic and benevolent Ambassador and his Diplomats by a group of ruthless, insatiable and unpatriotic hooligans that call themselves “Nigerians”. I still doubt they really are ! And I call them “INGRATES”.

Finally, my remarks here call for inquires for commendation or condemnation of these gentlemen of high ranks and integrity for their services in the office. And it would be noticed once again why the good ones and easily eliminated and forgotten in our midst while the bad live to continue and achieve their evil motives in the society.

Which way Nigeria ? Which way Africa ? Which way people of the world ? When are we going to be matured and learn to be wise ???

I believe one of the root causes of child trafficking especially those taken from our villages and poor communities is the get rich quick scheme that is sold to parents of these children who are destitute and are in desperate need of money for daily sustenance. Secondly there is the promise of greener pastures somewhere else for their children. Usually these perpetrators will give out some money to win the confidence of the parents to trust them with their children.

Many people in our communities are barely making ends meet and whenever someone like these perpetrators come to them giving out some money they see them as salvation for their children and themselves. It is imperative that the parents are educated about people who come into their communities throwing out some money their way to have their kids. This will never stop until parents become more cautious and less desperate.

In respond to Mr. Benjamin idiaghe, but your entire write up show who you are. It amazed me how people forget so quickly and start to bite the finger that feed them, Mr. Cletus Eke the patron of Nigerian community and the former president of Nigerian community in Lebanon Mr. John Osagie signed the letter of recommendation for Ibrahim Basha to be employed in embassy. He was the vice president of the interim that conduct the election of the new executive, because the president refuse to take instruction from him, he vow that the embassy will have nothing to do with the community unless the president is remove, you bribe religious leaders and sub community leaders with gratis legal resident paper, and instruct them not to attend community meetings.
GIRL SOLD FOR $2000
The Nigerian community in Lebanon prosecuted and exposes anybody that involve in child trafficking and collaborated with the embassy during the tenure of ambassador M.S Abdulwahab for justice to be done. The Nigeria community reported the activities of Ernest Chidiac and john Amechi Chizoba to the Consul, Mr. Moses Isiaku who took the necessary action base on information given to him by the community.
Now let me narrate cases of child trafficking that was brought to the Nigerian community , miss Ozioma agunenye 25 and Miss blessing Auguster mgbudom 19 year old reported to the community that they were brought by one papa which I don’t know his real name , the general assemble of the community order the girls to refund their travel expenses. From then they were free to work anywhere, after the judgment Victor offor being the interim secretary then told Miss Ozioma that if she agrees to have sex with her, he would order her not to refund the money to papa. Ozioma refused. Then he went to miss mgbudom, persuade her to ran away from papa house, kept her in his house, took 600$ from her, promise to married her. It was later discover that the girl was with him. Unfortunate for him during one month stay in his house, the girl got pregnant. He was caught red handed trying forcing abortion pill down her troth by some of his church members in Pentecost church, he was expelled from the church. The case was reported to Nigeria community, the president orders the Igbo community to investigate and give the report back to him. He was later expelled from the Igbo community, and the report was delay pending when the girl will deliver so as to do blood test. About a month ago the girl delivered a baby girl, victor refuse any responsibility on the girl. The ambassador and the consul knew about it but because they are using him to disorganize the community they kept silent on the case, he and the ambassador are bird of the same feather. About eighteen month ago, one girl name ngozi went mad by the time she become insane she was working as an house help in ambassador Assayouti house, she went to town saying ambassador Assayouti and Victor Offor sexual harass her. Alli Assayouti quickly bought the ticket for the girl and sent her back to Nigeria .she is one so call rescued from human trafficking traders. It was very big disgrace for every Nigerians residing in Lebanon.
Fellow Nigeria I want Mr. Ibrahim basha or Benjamin idiaghe to answer under listed questions.
WHAT IS GRATIS LEGAL RESIDENT PAPER?
How many people ibrahim basha and madam sallam did gratis for unknown to the ambassador?
What qualified someone to get gratis?
Did someone need to go to ambassador 11pm before she can get gratis?
How much did you take from them every year?
What about Miss Harpy a Ghanaian using Nigerian passport and gratis?
Please if you give us answer to this question, then I can give names and more details on gratis, thank you.
ACHIEVEMENT OF THE EMBASSY
During the tenure of ambassador M.S.Abdulwahab, (a.k.a. ambassador of West Africa) Nigerian community and the embassy work hand in hand. He donated his personal money to help the community; we got more than four thousand dollar financial assistant from the embassy. The former Consul Mr. Moses Isiaku work 24\7 with Nigerian community, anytime he was called he always respond.
Tenure of Alli Assayouti, to the best of my knowledge even though I am not an insider. He did not spend one dollar for the community, instead he was doing everything within his power to disorganize the community by using ibrahim bashar and victor offor that used to gave him false information.
Consul Adamou with due respect, he is a man of honor and very respectful who is ready to help and do his job but Ambassador Alli Assayouti and ibrahim Bashar microwave him and crippled his activities that might be beneficial to Nigerians, because consul Isiaku was given freehand to do his job as a consular unlike Adamou that cannot do anything on his own except he get permission from ibrahim his clerk as laid down by ambassador Alli Assayouti, what a pity.
You remind of Mrs. J.T. Chukwudi, the only diplomatic staff that refused to go to Syria during the war. But you forget about other diplomatic staffs.
When the time comes and the atmosphere is conductive the president Mr. Salmon jide Mohammed, the patron Mr Cletus Eke and other executives are capable of defending themselves.
The door of the embassy is opened, was it before ambassador Assayouti left or now? My article did not accuse any diplomatic staff. Was it not madam sallam that setup Helen Friday when she demands to be release to her boss, she knew she will not be getting 300$ from her every year as guarantor fees. What about Helen kingdom and Miss Rose from Ogoja .I accused Ibrahim Hamzat Bashar and madam sallam for conniving with immigration police for deportation of some Nigerians after you have collected money illegally from them. Was it not ibrahim who set up Mr Andrew udofia and Mr. Silvanus Uwanaka because of their support for Nigerian community’s president Mr. Jide Mohammed? Mr. Andrew is the provost of the community; four days after he had argument with the security in the embassy when he was not allow entry. He was arrested, he spent four month in prison. But he was out through the effort of community. But Mr. Uwanaka the president of Igbo community, a subsidiary of Nigerian community, might have been deported by now, he was arrested two days after he expelled victor offor because of his refusal to take responsibilities for the girl he pregnant. Every Nigerian in Lebanon knows victor is ambassador Assayouti agent of disruption and ibrahim herald boy.
Mr Silvanus Uwanaka, god will bless you for all your sacrifices and services you render to Igbo community and Nigerian community in Lebanon. Your going home will be a blessing by the special grace of god amen.
Can you tell the public the names of the people arrested when the plot to put drug in the embassy auditorium fail and mention the name of the one in prison.
Who is Ibrahim to block the employment of those alleged seeking employment, what is his educational background. Is he not an ordinary clerk with no certificate at all? He was employ by his uncle Ambassador Abdul-wahab, whom later regretted employing him. If he claims he has addition certificate let him prove it for evaluation, because he is a clever forger as he always does for Lebanese, any certificate he claim he has is from oluwole market in Lagos. All the local staff are from kwara state, whom they are employed not by their vocation but by avocation. We wonder how they were employed whereas there are OND, HND, BSC even masters in different fields that are versatile and they are not employed. Those whom if they are employ can use their level of education to project a favorable image for Nigeria.
My dear reader, is a pity I have to washed our dirty linen in public by putting names and faces in this articles, the time for business as usual as gone, we should all help president Olusegun Obasanjo, Nuhu Ribadu, justice Ayoola and their team to fight corruption at home and abroad. I agreed with Mr. Nuhu Ribadu when he said when you fight corruption it would fight back. So I’m not surprise for all the lies written by Benjamin idiaghe.
You need to see what the president of Nigerian community in Lebanon and some of his friends went through during the war when amb Assayouti and all his staff ran to Syria, he could hardly sleep. I was with him a day before he evacuate Nigerians to Syria. His phone rang every minute.
The bulldozer Ambassador Alli Assayouti had been recall by the federal government of Nigeria. We hope the incoming ambassador will live up to the expectation of all Nigeria in Lebanon.
I will also use this opportunity to welcome all the new diplomatic staffs. You are all welcome to Lebanon. Perseverance, Excellence, Honesty these are words we like to throw around so that we feel like a big family. Welcome. Please beware of this peoples, Alhaji Ibrahim Hamza Basha,(the herbalist ) Madam sallam, and Victor chuk Offordison. (Man of pieces)
His Excellency President Olusegun Obasanjo, foreign affair ministry, the senate, house of representative, States security services (nig ) human right organizations and Medias should please investigate all these allegations, I’m ready to testified, Thank you all.

If all this sheet is going on in Lebanon, I think you all should be deported, the embassy closed for a real cleansing. This is horrible. What is wrong with you people?. I ask again, what is wrong with you people that you have to sink to this level of depravity?

Incredulous!. Sick community.

And why Lebanon of all places for crying out loud?
