It is unclear why the presidency stocks millions of naira in cash at the presidential villa for distribution to visitors at a time the Central Bank of Nigeria is aggressively pursuing a cashless Nigeria agenda. An alleged N100million cash given to parents of abducted Chibok girls by President Goodluck Jonathan after a meeting at the Presidential villa on July 22 has sparked disagreement between some of the parents and leaders of the Chibok community in Abuja, the BBC Hausa service is reporting.
The presidency, the report said, released the funds to leaders of the chibok community in Abuja for onward passage to parents of the kidnapped schoolgirls. But some of the parents are now alleging they were shortchanged by the community leaders. One parent, who was among those who visited the president, told BBC’s Abdu Halilu that he got only N200,000. ” I got only N200,000 out of the said N100million allegedly received by our leaders in Abuja. Some of us got N300,000 and some less than that,” he said. He also said that he was not comfortable with the way the money was shared among the parents of the kidnapped girls and that he was shortchanged. “Our leaders in Abuja are using the girls to enrich themselves.
In fact, some of the parents were screened out of the entourage by the Chibok leaders in Abuja. Many of them were residents of Abuja, not parents of the kidnapped girls,” he said. Another parent, who was screened out of the delegation that visited the president, said he got only N7,000 out of the money shared. “I was at the farm when they brought the N7, 000 to my house and I collected it. Some of us got even less, N300 and below,” he said.
The parents stressed that they were not selling their daughters and that the money from the President just came to them without their asking for or expecting it. One of the community leaders, Pobu Bitrus, who is also a member of the House of Representatives, was at the meeting with the president. He explained to the BBC that after meeting with the president, monies were distributed to the parents in envelopes. “After we met with the presidency, the parents were given monies in envelopes and that’s all. All other things they are saying about N100million, I don’t know about that,” Mr. Butrus said.
It is unclear why the presidency stocks millions of naira in cash at the presidential villa for distribution to visitors at a time the Central Bank of Nigeria is aggressively pursuing a cashless Nigeria agenda. Mr. Jonathan’s spokespersons, Reuben Abati and Doyin Okupe, could not be reached to comment for this story. They did not answer or return calls made to their mobile telephones. After about three months of prevarications, President Jonathan finally agreed to meet with the parents of the abducted girls after he was persuaded to do so by Malala Yusoufai, the Pakistani teenager who champions the cause of girl child education.. The presidency has faced intense criticism over its handling of the kidnap of the Chibok girls who have been held by the extremist Boko Haram sect since April 14.

And the parents collected it They are not that serious about finding their children. Mr president didn't do anything wrong by giving them money , he had to demobilise them ,morealso ,they money dey their plenty . But it is the duty of the parents to reject the money which will show that they are serious and much more concerned about their missing children .
About their leaders shortchanging them, well i can that 90% of their leaders their are looking for what to eat . If bokoharam should take the whole village , in as much kulele go show from their ,so be it !

Nothing about jonathan's regime suprises me anymore; from broad-daylight looting to unquestioned financial crimes, boko-haram in the north, ebola virus in the south and the corrupt presidency in the middle. Our country is in big trouble


Honestly, I begin to doubt if there is much difference between Abubakar shekau and President Jonathan, they just have different means to thesame end: the destruction of Nigeria. One uses the sword while the other uses his position (presidency).

Please God, save us from these two evil men...Ameen

So Parents can recieve Money even when their kids are in Captivity.


POVERTY NA BASTARD!!!!!!!

And they collected the money? Trully trully, chibok is a scam

A president doling out cash in exchange for buying their silence? JonaBokoHaram will do anything to remain president in 2015. Meanwhile this country is worst than it was even under Abacha!

Do you have any blame for the parents who collected the cash? It takes two to tango, remember?

Huh, I can't understand this,

has Jonathan bought the girls?
are they selling their daughters to become bombers?

Jonaharam has bought the girls already in Behalf of PDP's Book haram!!

Expect more female suicide bombing..

Jonaharam till una Mumu cure!!

Chibog Scam? I expected nothing less.

Poverty is self reinforcing .
It turn man into a destitute.
It makes man depend on those who are actually responsible for their destitution .

Something very close to Stockholm syndrome

Stockholm syndrome, or capture-bonding, is a psychological phenomenon in which hostages express empathy and sympathy and have positive feelings toward their captors, sometimes to the point of defending and identifying with them. These feelings are generally considered irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims, who essentially mistake a lack of abuse from their captors for an act of kindness
