creamylicious: Please is there no way we can refuse that Jonathan does not win the presidential primaries or that he does not represent any political party?? This guy gaffs a lot. Becoming nauseating and we don't see best candidates around us to vote for. Lord have mercy!!!

cr8v: . The federal govt may not have told the whole truth but these jihadist know how to cover themselves that until now no one knows the sponsors of Boko and how they brought in heavy weapons into the country. At least it is not open in public circles.

Adunskill: Naija and is god of men. What a great question from the dynamic barrister. Trust Nigerians, this case would soon be shoved under the rug and it will never see the light of the day anymore. In some weeks time another issue would be raised and it would always make the front pages of our newspaper. Remember the farouk gate cap banking, the missing $20b, the chibok girls, the ali modu sherif and ihejirika boko haram connection, and now this. Our jounalist please follow up this case aggresively.

cr8v: I don't care what anyone says. When Boko Haram was buying, no one knew. If Christians decide to defend themselves it is a pity that it's fellow Christians that will write this trash. Stay there until Boko haram evolves to ISIS and start chasing you defenseless out of your country. The federal govt may not have told the whole truth but these jihadist know how to cover themselves that until now no one knows the sponsors of Boko and how they brought in heavy weapons into the country. At least it is not open in public circles. Testis, stay for Lagos I no blame you, you are not a northern Christian so you will not understand

Go and study history how turkey and some other former Christian nations to Islam. They did that by force from jihadists and there lack of unity amongst believers.

bigheart2013: Hmmmmmmmm! Very long pause on the current Nigeria.... I wouldn't care less if not that a 'private jet, a clergy, arms deal, and large cash were mentioned in the same sentence. Am I the only one who feels I'm probably wasting my time in church these days rather than get real about making money. Looks like there's no 'clean money' after all...

Firefire: speechless

papparatzzi2013: The desecration of the Office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has hit a new height, under the drunken master, the Mandela of Otuoke, Jonah the Don.

I have just read, with some amusement, the
position of the Federal Government regarding the cash totaling $9.3million that was seized by the South African authorities as an attempt was made to smuggle it into that country.

From my little understanding, the Federal Government’s
position can be summarised as follows:


•That it is aware of the movement of such large
sum of money by cash out of the country.
That the cash is meant for the purchase of arms
to fight insurgency.


•That the transaction was done by cash to ensure
the speed of the transaction.
That it resorted to buy from South Africa because
of procedural bottlenecks in the purchase of such
items from western countries.

The above position of the Federal Government is
not only ludicrous, it is laughable, untenable and
a story only fit to be told to the marines. The
following rhetoric posers are germane to this
issue:

Is it really faster and safer to do an international
transaction of such magnitude by ferrying cash
across the continent or by a simple wire transfer
that can go through in a matter of few minutes or few hours?


If, indeed, the matter involves security issues like
the purchase of arms by a foreign government
like Nigeria, why was the South African
Government not brought into the picture
beforehand? How could the South African
Government be sure that the arms were
purchased legitimately by the Nigerian
government and not by insurgents if they were
not officially informed beforehand?


If indeed the manufacturer(s) of such equipment
was/were expecting such large amount by cash,
why did they not make adequate arrangements
with the authorities in South Africa to declare and clear the cash on arrival?


Why was money belonging to the Federal
Government and meant for purchase of
equipment for the Federal Government moved by a private jet and by private individuals and why were they not accompanied by the officials of the Department of State Services or the office of the National Security Adviser in official capacities?


Why would a government that is at the peak of
promoting the cashless policy in our economy be
the chief breaker of that policy by moving such a
large amount by cash?


If, indeed, it was a legitimate transaction of the
Federal Government, why were the officials of our embassy in South Africa not on hand to make the entry easier and smoother?


Since the South African Government has said the
amount is above the limit of cash allowed into
that country, why would a whole government like
Nigeria not know the simple immigration laws of a sister and friendly country before allowing that
type of amount of cash to be taken to that
country?



Why would the Nigerian government seek to
smuggle cash into a country without disclosure if
it was, indeed, for a legitimate transaction?

From where did the Federal Government source
that amount in Nigeria? Was it from the Central
Bank of Nigeria or from the black market?

Nigerians demand answers to this with proof.
Is it just a wicked coincidence that it is the aircraft belonging to a personal friend and unapologetically of the President in the person of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor (my big brother in Warri), that was used to smuggle the cash?


If, contrary to the above posers, the transaction
was contracted out to a private company in
Nigeria, does it not amount to the offence of
Money Laundering under our laws for the Federal Government to have allowed that company to attempt to pay for the equipment by cash to the tune of that amount without passing through a financial institution?


The truth is, any transaction the world over that is done by cash, in a huge volume like this and in
this manner can only point to one thing: It is an
illegal transaction or a transaction for an illegal
purpose that is meant to be untraceable. This was a covert, illegal operation that went horribly
wrong. The position of the Federal Government is a rooster-and-bull story meant to be shoved down the throat of Nigerians, but some of us are not fools.


The hard fact we must all accept now is that
billions of our hard-earned monies are being
smuggled out of the country on a regular basis
under the guise of security matters and with the
active connivance of security agencies. Little
wonder, then, that the insurgency, rather than
waning, is gathering momentum because certain
persons, somewhere, are feeding fat on the
situation whilst innocent lives and limbs are being wasted.
May God help us all.
Thank you.

Rflmao. I am in no way affiliated to GEJ and I am absolutely unperturbed by his political relevance or irrelevance. Don't care if he wins or loose. With that said, I'd like to see "you guys" try kick him out. The result would be a catastrophe of apocalyptic proportions.

atlwireles: Lemme leave this thread with words of encouragement. Look at the man call Goodluck Jonathan, you people will call him President till 2019. There is nothing, absolutely nothing, you almajiris can do to stop. it. Your lamentations are for the dogs.

To keep Nigeria one, is a project that must be accomplished. Including buying black market arms to kill all the boko haram, bent on acting otherwise.

For real,you are little kid who, prolly smoking weed and saying all sorts of rubbish.
Well meaning Nigerians will laugh at your miserable life.

You mean if GEJ SMUGGLES cash into another country and then arms into the country, it is the right thing to do? are you that silly?

Evathyst: Haha? Did u actually type ds 'nonsense' wit ur brain intact? Jesus! wat a lame, parochial, distorted, spurious, frivolous nd insensitive defence to such nefarious act being orchestrated by ur highly respected CAN abi na BOTTLE President. Lyk seriously, u sounded more lyk a person who is suffering from the greatest poverty of sense. Chai! Hear ur own broken lines nd jarring sounds. *sprinkles holy water on her*

Yea!! As deep as it is, the Mandela of Otuoke had so long reconstructed our path towards injustice..
Giving pardon to his criminal friends,
Ferring Militants with presidential jet,
Allowing his gf, minister of petroluem free hand on looting of the economy's treasure..
He has done more harm than Gud..
If you and I refuse to unseat him from that office,
fearfully, we might get to meet on the run for our dear lives over the state of the nation..
Then probably you wud be a slave by then..

Lady!! Who told you the weapons are being purchased to secure your life and mine??
This is a high conspiracy which must be unravelled..
What's is the probabilty its not being purchased for the insurgents..

cr8v: I don't care what anyone says. When Boko Haram was buying, no one knew. If Christians decide to defend themselves it is a pity that it's fellow Christians that will write this trash. Stay there until Boko haram evolves to ISIS and start chasing you defenseless out of your country. The federal govt may not have told the whole truth but these jihadist know how to cover themselves that until now no one knows the sponsors of Boko and how they brought in heavy weapons into the country. At least it is not open in public circles. Testis, stay for Lagos I no blame you, you are not a northern Christian so you will not understand

Go and study history how turkey and some other former Christian nations to Islam. They did that by force from jihadists and there lack of unity amongst believers.

Sorry but I am Igbo, I We have no business in this. This is simply a classic case of the Northerners ganging up with their loyal Southwestern subordinates to play chess with the outsider. Simply observing things unfold.
