Which elongation strategy are you talking about?

It will become public at the tail end of his second term. No need to rock the boat unnecessarily at this stage.

In the ever-evolving landscape of business and entrepreneurship, few individuals possess the foresight and acumen to predict and capitalize on emerging trends. Bayo Lion Adedeji @thebayolion_ is one such visionary who has consistently demonstrated an uncanny ability to spot opportunities and turn them into gold.

One of his most notable investments was in Wave Beach Elegushi, a beachfront property in Lagos that has now become the most accessible and sought-after destination in the city. With the demolition of iconic beaches like Landmark, Good Beach, and Sol Beach, Elegushi has emerged as the go-to spot for beach lovers and partygoers alike. Adedeji's early investment in this property showcases his exceptional vision and positioning skills.

Adedeji's entrepreneurial prowess extends beyond real estate. He is also credited with transforming Wakanow, a company that was once struggling financially and owed staff salaries. Under his leadership, Wakanow has undergone a remarkable metamorphosis, evolving into a global giant with a presence in 30 countries and a thriving workforce. This turnaround is a testament to Adedeji's exceptional leadership and business acumen.

What sets Adedeji apart from other successful entrepreneurs is his humility. Despite his impressive achievements, he shies away from the spotlight and rarely seeks to draw attention to himself. However, his contributions to the business world are undeniable, and his story serves as an inspiration to aspiring entrepreneurs and investors.

Adedeji's success can be attributed to his unique blend of vision, strategic thinking, and execution. He has a keen understanding of market trends and is not afraid to take calculated risks. His ability to spot opportunities and capitalize on them has earned him a reputation as a shrewd businessman.

As the business landscape continues to evolve, it will be exciting to see what the future holds for Bayo Lion Adedeji. One thing is certain, however: his legacy as a visionary entrepreneur and investor is already cemented. His story serves as a reminder that with the right combination of vision, leadership, and execution, even the most ambitious goals can be achieved.

Congrats to bayo Lion. A very convincing salesman.

And what makes you think he has intent of going beyond the constitutional stipulated tenure?

It is an inevitability

Chai! It's true o! So I must write up to 40 characters to post a comment on Nairaland 🙆‍♂️

There is no point pleading with indigenes that don't want change. Let them continue. The world will eventually leave us where we want to be. We cannot be forced to modernise our practices.

etokhana:
The National Assembly has acted to uphold democratic ideals at every critical moment in our national history.

In 2006, the 5th National Assembly protected our democracy against an unseemly third-term bid that would have ripped our constitution apart.

Unfortunately this current crop of legislators won't stop him when he wants to enact his own tenure elongation strategy. They are all in his back pocket, no thanks to Akpabio.

Convert the figure to dollars.

You are gradually revealing yourself.

Menemonic:
is their anything good for your health?

Yes. In moderation whole foods, fruits, and vegetables are good for health. Not this highly processed mish mash of condiments that will speed up your race to the grave.

Summary

AML efforts across the board appear to be practically unachievable due to the global connectivity of religious institutions, where corrupt money can easily be mixed in with genuine gifts. However, by enhancing due diligence standards and boosting transparency between financial institutions and religious groups, a slow but steady process of exposing church money laundering and its analogues can begin, moving beyond the modest but praiseworthy efforts of some.

Ongoing Improvements On Church Money Laundering Problem

So, what can be done on a larger scale? It’s a perilous scenario, but one that Congress in the United States has never attempted to confront before, with moves to eliminate churches’ tax exemptions meeting with intense opposition. Due to the specific character of churches as religious institutions, they are exempt from disclosing financial information to the Internal Revenue Service, including Form 990, which documents all money that comes in and out of a conventional non-profit organization.

Despite this, few churches follow financial consultants’ advice and readily share papers like Form 990 to provide complete transparency. Churches appear to be in charge of vulnerability scanning, which includes doing KYC on to determine where funds are coming from, tracking all revenues in and out of the church, and submitting statements to proper agencies. Banks that deal with churches should do more research on their clients and keep track of their transactions to learn more about their operations.

The Truthful Picture Of Church Money Laundering

As previously noted, sums provided as offerings or pledges by criminals posing as religious figures may go undetected, allowing this corrupt money to be mixed in with legal funds and placed into the institutions’ bank s. There have also been instances where robbers contribute money to a building for construction work, which is then reimbursed as a check and so “cleansed.” The lack of a congregation’s knows your customer standard (KYC) has the potential to significantly increase the risk of dirty money ing through the system.

According to other case studies undertaken by law enforcement, Erik Siga’s real estate was purchased with shady funds. He was found dead in a US prison with ties to infamous drug traffickers and is accused of laundering at least 1.4 million dollars through his religious channel. He was the pastor of an evangelical church in Guatemala, as well as the mayor of a small hamlet.

According to the OCCRP, Jacob Kingston, a Mormon from Utah, was likewise a victim of a tax credit fraud scheme. Over $100 billion in Mormon money has been laundered through a tax-exempt investment fund. Washakie Renewable Energy, based in Kingston, allegedly promised to offer clean fuel inequality in exchange for tax credits, defrauding the government of at least $1 billion.

Furthermore, Congress has made little attempt to address the issue; internal investigations are a common method for detecting illicit activity. The idea that banks must control religion and money moving in and out of the organization puts them in peril, with a focus on detailed investigation in the churches with whom they do business. The new FinCEN Files leak highlights HSBC’s transfer of unlawful monies as a result of a Ponzi scheme set up by Ming Xu, who purported to be an evangelical church leader in Los Angeles despite knowing about the investment scam (WCM777).

A Lack Of Due Diligence

Religious councils can perform both deliberate and involuntary thievery. It’s commonly linked to an absence of internal audits, which could be related to a lack of understanding or tools for good financial management. Religious organizations can frequently receive large sums of money from beneficiaries in an unregulated environment without using proper ability mechanisms, and this money is accepted as a gift without questioning its origin.

In more deliberate circumstances, fraudsters of illicit funds may be under financial duress or believe they are entitled to the money due to a lack of salary. Much of the theft that occurs in churches, for example, is carried out with little sums of money that go undiscovered. It will take at least 7 years to finish.

As previously noted, sums provided as offerings or pledges by criminals posing as religious figures may go undetected, allowing this corrupt money to be mixed in with legal funds and placed into the institutions’ bank s.

Organizations of various kinds slip into the temptation of misappropriating illicit funds, and religions have been the subject of numerous inquiries around the globe like Church Money Laundering. This can apply to organizations of any faith or sect, but Christians, in particular, have a history of monetary dishonesty.

There are various reasons why “ecclesiastical crime” is so easy to commit, including ing record reporting loopholes (as opposed to other organizations or businesses), as well as preying on the ’ trustworthiness of these organizations. As a result, completing AML checks and KYC fact-checking for these organizations and their clients is extremely difficult, even though combating church money laundering is becoming increasingly crucial on both the national and international levels.

Great Power, Great Responsibility

Given the sheer size of religion’s following and the international issue of church money laundering, no organization can completely separate itself from unscrupulous and sophisticated laundering activities.

Scams could be discovered due to the obvious lack of properly developed procedures. Money challenges that are criticized by participants or sponsors, inappropriate and succinct financial records, falsified documentation, or even workers with behaviors that do not match their income are all red flags of malevolent behavior. Of course, this raises questions about ants’, banking firms’, and government authorities’ responsibilities in conducting more complete investigations into the sources of monies funneled through religious organizations.

Internal fraud costs churches over $63,000,000,000 per year in Christendom, ing for roughly 16% of total revenue. Money laundering in the church has become a widespread issue. Even though a spokesperson from the Institute for the Study of Global Christianity stated in 2013 that “95 percent of embezzlement within places of worship goes undiscovered or unreported,” 10% of Congregations acknowledged financial misappropriation in 2017.

Due to its distinguished forum, anti-money laundering organizations in Ghana have seen these establishments as playing a unique role in educating the public about church money laundering activities. Workshops have been held by groups like the Inter-Governmental Action Group against Money Laundering in West Africa (GIABA) for these scholarly reasons. GIABA regards church officials as trusted spokespeople and investors, and they are encouraged to engage in this mission.

mrrandomguy:
Some women believe that faithfulness in men is due to an absence of finance. They have a mindset that once a man has money he will start womanising, get a side chick, worse still a second wife.

I analysed women with this orientation and discovered that 86% are either side chicks to married men or are doing hookup.
I also observed that the majority of non-muslim among such women attend white garment churches which is known to be the headquarters of runs girls, baby manas and single mothers.

What's your sample size? 🤨
