A lying presidency

• Why would the Federal Govt lie that it did not give money to the Chibok girls’ parents?

When a country’s presidency speaks, its voice should be like that of the oracle. Its yes should be yes and its no, no. Unfortunately, the Nigerian presidency, like most other things and places characteristically Nigerian, is becoming notorious for lying. The latest of such lie from Nigeria’s seat of power has to do with the monetary gift reportedly given to the parents of the Chibok girls abducted by Boko Haram on April 15, and those of them that escaped, when they visited the Presidency on July 22.
To start with, it is quite shameful that it took the intervention of a teenage Pakistan girl, Malala Yousafzai, to wake President Goodluck Jonathan up to his responsibility on the abducted girls. But, the allegation that, in his attempt to obey the directive of the teenager, the President committed a presidential blunder by giving money to his visitors deserves more than a cursory attention. The matter has rightly been the subject of unending comments since the ‪#‎BringBackOurGirls‬ campaigners leader and former Minister of Education, Mrs Oby Ezekwesili, tweeted that the Federal Government offered N100 million to the distressed Chibok parents.
More disgusting is that since the issue was made public, the presidency has been giving Nigerians the impression that there is no iota of truth in it. Both the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Reuben Abati, and the Senior Personal Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, have denied that any money changed hands.
But these denials run counter to the claims of the beneficiaries and the Kibaku Area Development Association (KADA), the group representing the Chibok people in Abuja. According to the group, the Federal Government gave the parents and the escaped girls only N22.4million and not N100million. In other words, ‘there is no smoke without fire’, as they say.
The money, according to KADA, was brought by the senior special assistant to the president on special duties to the hotel where the visitors lodged, who told the girls that the government had sent them N100, 000 each. Sixty-one of the 122 parents who came got N200, 000 each; while 51 others got N100, 000 each. Because the calculations were wrong, the remaining 10 parents left empty-handed.
Predictably, it was the distribution of the money that led to a row among the affected parents, with some of them complaining that they had been shortchanged by the community’s leaders. “I was not able to go to Abuja; they chose some people from among us. Some received N100,000, some received N200,000, some received N300,000. Those of us in the village were given N7,000. This is not a thing of joy. What we want are our girls to be brought back home”, one of them reportedly said.
It is extremely baffling why the Federal Government resorted to telling a blatant lie, like the one it told the nation and the international community that it knows where the abducted girls are. It is a pity that, through the negligence and incompetence of the government, these girls have spent over 100 days in Boko Haram captivity without the slightest hope that they would ever be brought back to reunite with their parents. Yet, all we hear often from the President is that “we know where the girls are, and we will bring them back to their parents soonest”.
When we remember that President Nixon of the U.S.A. resigned in 1974 to stave off impeachment because he lied to the American people in what has become known as the ‘Watergate scandal’, we should view with all seriousness the lie by the Presidency this time around. It is one lie too many. Or, could it be that some officials, as usual, profited from this filthy lucre? The Presidency owes Nigerians an explanation on this untoward and fraudulent denial of the undeniable.

FM: Where did an ordinary special assistant to the president got the sum of 22.4 milliom naira to share to parents, is this not part of the corruption with impunity we are talking about?

Shovig everyone is entitled to his opinion, i disagree with you. The major mistake of Gej is being from the minority Ijaw. The inability of the born-2-rule to stop him from being a president after the death of the former president is one of the major problem. Some promised of making Nigeria ungovernable for him. Has there ever been anytime in Nigerian history when people were massacased except during the civil war, more than now? The former president who thought he can manipulate him even had to write letter all in the name of saving Nigeria. Thank God for his daughter that vindicated Gej. We have known the truth. No contor of media propaganda can change the mindset of Nigerians. Allow us to judge and do whatsoever pleases us.

d presidency says it doesnt know abt it, d SA says its from d govt

there r several independent bodies that make up d govt

d onus now rest on u to prove where d money is from

do that and stop spreading malice

- The man is slow to act.
- He do not punish criminality.
- Jonathan has NEVER done anything you can classify as "exceptional intellectual ability" for the benefit of Nigerians.
- When leadership is required, he will either be totally unavailable or arrive very late and start rampaging everywhere.
- He lack control of his administration. Many interests and influences are pulling the puppets strings.
- He possesses PhD, but he has very limited command of the ability to communicate.
- He is Neck-Deep in corruption. Even has the boldness to tell us that "Stealing is not Corruption".
- He plays clownish politics. It will be absurd to classify Jonathan as a Unifying Nigerian Leader.
- His policies and programmes are very costly with very little result to show for it.
....and many more.

Jonathan has the opportunity to lift Nigeria from its stagnation. But instead under President Jonathan, Nigeria has remained a giant crawling on it stomach.

May God save Nigeria.

Apart from GEJ's attitude of telling lies every now and then, what I hate most about GEJ is his style of gently killing Nigerians slowly while still showing smiles on his face. GEJ kills slowly like "EBOLA" Virus. In fact, GEJ is even three times deadlier than Ebola Virus itself.

Hit like for BUHARI, hit share for GEJ....God bless
