What about King Solomon, Job, David etc. If God does not favour you your life will not be transformed. If it does apart from God then it won't last.

The second Heesen largest superyacht, 65-metre Galactica Star, was announced sold on July 25, with Fraser representing the seller and Burgess representing the buyer. The vessel was listed for sale earlier this year asking $ 42,000,000, as a result of a notorious corruption case in Nigeria.

Custom-built by Dutch yard Heesen in 2013, the vessel seconds only to the builder’s 70-metre Galactica Super Nova in of LOA. She features exterior styling by Omega Architects, engineering by Van Oossanen & Associates, finished by interiors from the boards of Bannenberg & Rowell.

In April 2019, the vessel was offered for sale in a sealed bid arrangement, proposed by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Republic of Nigeria and approved by U.S. federal court. The sale process roots back to a corruption case against two Nigerian nationals.

Allegedly, the superyacht was originally owned by Nigerian oil magnate Kolawole Aluko, who is one of four defendants accused of cheating Nigeria out of almost $1.8 billion in siphoned crude oil sales, reports The Marine News. The U.S. government also accused Aluko and another oil executive, Olajide Omokore, of laundering money in the United States and using it to acquire the yacht, among other assets.

The US and Nigerian governments received Federal Court approval to sell the arrested superyacht due to high maintenance and dockage fees, estimating the combined cost at around $170,000 per month. Managed by Fraser, the vessel was listed at $42,000,000.

Galactica Star accommodates up to 12 guests overnight in 6 cabins, comprising a master suite, 1 VIP stateroom, and 4 double cabins. She is also capable of carrying up to 13 crew onboard to ensure a relaxed luxury yacht experience.

Powered by 2 MTU 5,592 HP diesel engines and propelled by twin screw propellers, Galactica Star is capable of a top speed of 27 knots, and comfortably cruises at 24 knots. With her 90,000 fuel tanks she has a maximum range of 4,200 nautical miles at 14 knots. Her water tanks store around 30,000 litres of freshwater.

The yacht used to be popular for charter among celebrities, for instance, once rented by American music industry power couple, Jay Z and Beyonce for a holiday cruise as reported in the media.

Big eye balled Deziani and her co travellers in the like of Omokore and Kolawole stole from our collective commonwealth.

I commend the government of the united states because they have been at the forefront of returning its stolen money by politicians and their cronies.

However, the BREXIT talking British government are criminally minded as they have been dilly dally on releasing Deziani for trials back home in Nigeria.

Britain hardly return stolen funds to African government.

This can be seen from the case of ex-governor of delta state Chief James Ibori and ex-petroleum minister Mrs Deziani Allison Madueke.

Both ex-public officers looted the treasury and banked the money in the UK but the uk government is unwilling to return stolen money.

Chief James Ibori bought houses, choice cars in Britain with money he looted from Delta state government treasury while serving as governor between 1999 - 2007.

If Ex-Petroleum Minister, Mrs Deziani the arrow head among the crimminals had used this money they siphoned to develop the niger delta regions creating jobs, investing in the power sectors etc

I would not have been bitter against her.

IS SHE NOT ASHAMED TO SEE THE OIL PRODUCING COMMUNITY LANGUISHING IN POVERTY?

Some of these community do not have access to clean pipeborne water.

They drink from dirty rivers and streams and some of this oil producing community do not have bridge to access their community.

They use rickety canoes to paddles to their thatched huts.

MRS DEZIANI ALLISON MADUEKE FALL MY HAND O !

She is a big embarrassment to the good people of the Niger delta region and Nigeria as a country.

MAKE GOOD USE OF EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO ESTABLISH A POSITIVE FOOTPRINT

There is enough goody to round for everyone on earth, but there is not enough for anyone to steal. Doing that will mean you are depriving someone of his goody.
Diezani and others who have plunged and are still plunging Nigeria into poverty will never know peace.

And the proceed from the Yacht will be shared between the corrupt illiterate politicians at aso rock, Fulani herdsmen and the Boko-Boys.
The criminals are just only changing gangs.
