USAIDNigeria Is Used For Money Laundering Says David Hundeyin
USAIDNigeria Is Used For Money Laundering Says David Hundeyin, 9jaglover writes
Nigeria independent journalist, David Hundeyin has alleged that USAID Nigeria is used for money laundering in a letter written to Elon Musk via his X handle.
USAID began to trend few days ago after the Trump administration decided to audit and investigate the body and what they used the fundings for.
Many opinions believed that the body is nothing but a means of money laundering and other means of corruption.
One of these opinions came from David who wrote a letter to Elon musk revealing how USAID in Nigeria is corrupted.
The letter reads in full.. “Hi @elonmusk, here are some cut-and-dried cases of @USAIDNigeria corruption and money laundering you may want to look into.
On January 16, 2025, just 4 days before @realDonaldTrump’s inauguration, USAID made a $3.3m payment to a vendor in Nigeria called DAI Global LLC.
I looked into the payment history and saw that between August 2020 and January 2025, at least $48 million of US taxpayers’ money supposedly invested in Nigeria went to DAI Globall LLC, registered in Bethesda, Maryland.

So I looked into DAIGlobal’s activities in Nigeria and it turns out to be a run-of-the-mill “Climate NGO” which organises meetings and seminars, and stages photos with politicians, and little else. Yet nearly all of its payments from USAID in Nigeria are labeled “ALL OTHER PROFESSIONAL, SCIENTIFIC, AND TECHNICAL SERVICES.”
It last published an output in Nigeria in 2020. So what exactly it has reveived 48 MILLION US DOLLARS for over that period is anyone’s guess. A USAID money laundering partner? CIA front organisation? State department Nigerian slush fund? Perhaps all 3? Who knows?
But it gets worse.

Since @realDonaldTrump’s inauguration on January 20, at least $799,000 of US taxpayers money has been paid by USAID to recipients in Nigeria marked “UNDISCLOSED” or “MISCELLANEOUS.”
At least $446,000 of these payments to “UNDISCLOSED” recipients in Nigeria was sent across 8 payments between January 29 and January 30. Meanwhile, you will remember that the US president ordered USAID to halt all payments on January 28.
@USAIDNigeria disobeyed a DIRECT INSTRUCTION from the US president and spent the next 24 hours after the instruction furiously shelling out half a million dollars of US taxpayers money to recipients in Nigeria marked “UNDISCLOSED.”
I’ll leave the implications of this to you.

Meanwhile we look at some comments on his letter and what they had to say concerning the activities of USAID.
@Ronphillipsjr says” I hate being told that the budget of USAID is only 0.7% of the US total budget and we’re already in the billions of fraud with it. How bad is it all around. Sickens me to contemplate it.
@LUKSIDE says “Wow David as always get his receipt 🧾 that’s what the Nigerian govt will never be David’s friend.
@Vedigopal says” Excellent work, @DavidHundeyin !
I hope journalists in every country follow your lead and report on this world-wide racket.
In summary, all the USAID handles on X has been disabled including the USAID Nigeria.
