For all of us screaming and asking why, how Kim Kardashian got $500,000 for her less than 45mins appearance on Darey's concert last Sunday, well, SaharaReporters has uncovered a document indicating that a million dollars was spent by then Governor Goodluck Jonathan on bringing American entertainers Beyonce and Jay Z to Nigeria in 2006!

According to Sahara Reporters, in a letter stamped and signed by Bayelsa officials, N150 million (approximately a million dollars in 2006) was released from the state’s poverty alleviation fund for the first ThisDay Music Festival in Lagos.

SaharaReporters obtained a letter from Mr. Obaigbena to the Bayelsa State government soliciting funds from the oil-producing state ahead of Nigeria’s 46th independence celebrations in 2006. The ThisDay publisher wrote, “We invite you to partner with us as co-hosts of the festival.” The letter added: “With a total budget of $10 million, the co-host is expected to contribute a minimum of $2.5 million (two million five hundred thousand USD).”

At the bottom of the letter, minuted by hand and signed by then Governor Jonathan’s aides as well as the Bayelsa State accountant general are the words, “Release N150,000,000.00 (One hundred and fifty million naira) only to be drawn from the poverty alleviation subhead.”

The letter from Mr. Obaigbena to then-governor Goodluck Jonathan said the concert was necessary to show that the news from Nigeria was “not just…HIV/AIDS, conflicts, poverty, kidnapping, strife and riots

Ok, leme do the calculus,

$1m/2 =500k.
ie.
500k=jay z
500k=beyonce
500k=kim k

thou jay z 'n' beyonce worth the money,
as for kim k,MBA NU

the organizers of this show know that Kim will just stay for few seconds and gave Nigerians a false information. because if really she is a co-host, she wouldnt spend just few minutes in Nigeria and few seconds on stage. i dont so much care about
how much she was paid, but feeding Nigerians wit half truth can never be justified. besides, she added nothing special to the event. it is a waste.
