LouisVanGaal:
The most painful aspect is that even after reading this; whynhetruth would still rush to open another thread..asking his dumb rhetorical question...'Was jonathan that corrupt??'

Appareil:
Meme toi? Et Tu means and you! Et toi(you) and you? Meme toi is the correct phrase. Merci et Bon nuit.

Pastor Bakare is not just a man of God, he is also a politician; he stood for election along side PMB.

He is not a kid or a novice, he sure knows these sorts of "gifts" come back to hurt u.

He was in the opposition and accepting a gift from PDP would have just fallen his hand beyond measure, even if he uses it to help the less priviledged.

Imagine Orubebe telling Bakare to "sharappp, that was he not the one he gave $50,000 dollars as bribe for one thing or the other". Next thing they start trading words just like Oshiomole and Okonji-Iweala did for a while.

Even if the truth comes out later, the harm has already been done and his image would have been damaged.

So he was wise not to accept it. In politics, treat goes around, surely comes around.

Editor1:
Nigerian Pastor, Tunde Bakare, has disclosed details of his meetings with former President Goodluck Jonathan, and what he benefitted from the former leader while he was in office.

Mr. Bakare, a former running-mate of President Muhammadu Buhari on the platform of defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) in 2011, said he wrote four -point letter to Mr. Jonathan, calling his attention to the level of impunity in his administration.

Giving details of what he benefitted from the immediate past president, Mr. Bakare said, “Let everyone declare what he has received. I can tell you what I received. I took two people there one day and he invited us to dinner. I had a bad sore throat that day, so I took a pass regarding the dinner.
“Another day, I took a couple there and I took a cup of tea. I told you about the $50,000 which I refused, but that was Orubebe. He sent me a cow at Christmas – which I gave the staff to kill – and a hamper through our pastor in Abuja, but I told him to keep it.”

Mr. Bakare stated this in an interview with an Abuja-based magazine, THE INTERVIEW.

The pastor revealed that at a point, the former president offered to give him “something”, which he refused and opted for simply a pen.

“Finally, when the opportunity came and he (Jonathan) said, ‘I will like to give you something’. I [then] said ‘I like pens: so if you must give me anything, let it be a pen, so that I can show it to my people and say ‘the president gave me a pen,’” he disclosed.

He said one day, after a meeting with Mr. Jonathan, a former minister in charge of Niger Delta Affairs, Godsday Orubebe, rushed to offer him $50,000 for “transport”, an offer the pastor said he turned down.
[size=18pt]“When we were leaving, Orubebe ran after me and offered me $50,000 for my transport[/size]. I said, ‘Haba, take your money, I am not for sale’. We said goodbye to him and the rest is history,” Mr. Bakare said.

Giving details of his meeting with the former president, Mr. Bakare said, “When he (Jonathan) became president, I said to him, ‘the things we marched and protested against, you are now perpetrating them – the same impunity’”.

“I gave him four points in writing. Before we left Lagos, I gave a copy to Pastor Adeboye and another to General Alani Akinrinade. I said, ‘we are going to say goodbye to this man’ because if a man cannot keep his own side of the bargain, because if you got here by the grace of God and not because of any pedigree and, within 10 years, had become the president of Nigeria.

“God has brought you into the kingdom for such a time as this, so you cannot begin to commit the same impunity,” he said.

[size=18pt]Mr. Bakare said in another meeting with the former president, he (Jonathan) told him that he needed someone to tell him the truth.[/size]

“He reached out to me later and said, ‘look, let’s put that behind us; Nigeria’s situation is critical.’”
“Before I went, I called General Buhari and said ‘this man invited me, I don’t know what for.’ When I got there, he said he needed someone who could tell him the truth always. I said, ‘if that is what you want, you have me at your side,’” he said.


[size=18pt]Mr. Bakare therefore challenged religious leaders to declare what Mr. Jonathan gave him, saying the clergy did not tell the former president the truth because they benefitted from him.[/size]

[size=18pt]“However, you see, Christian leaders benefitted tremendously from his administration in terms of licences and waivers.[/size] The thing is, when you allow those in power to get you into any compromise, speaking to them will be very difficult.

“I don’t know if any of those allegations were true, but I have seen enough to begin to think that they were not able to use our overwhelming influence. If you have benefitted from evil, you cannot talk about it, nor criticize it[size=18pt].[b] Let everyone declare what he has received,”[/size] Mr. Bakare said in the magazine interview.

Mister2:


Next time, make a generic statement, and do not mention Pastor Ayo's name; be careful so you don't truncate your destiny with your utterances!

neocortex:
So says a failed presidential hopeful.
Bakare is a disgrace to the church.

dedons:
I lost my respect for Bakare long ago...



And for those of you christians who are always quick to condemn Pastor ORITSEJAFOR...




All I can say is that you do not know what you are doing.

EzeCanada:
......Anything for a ministerial nomination.

dedons:
I lost my respect for Bakare long ago...



And for those of you christians who are always quick to condemn Pastor ORITSEJAFOR...




All I can say is that you do not know what you are doing.

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:
I thought orubebe was an elder. Was he a church elder or a council of chiefs elder?

dedons:
sir,I seriously don't know why our own Nigerian christians have refused to see the battle which this man is fighting on their behalf.

madridguy:
Do I sound like someone you can scared or what ? So saying what everyone knows now has turned to threat now ? Maybe you want to run mad for the rest of your life for saying such jargon.

joseph1832:
I guess Ayo Oritsejafor is your god? And he has the power to alter your destiny?

Well I case you don't know my destiny isn't in the hands our any corrupt man of god, its in my own hands.

Ayo Oritsejafor is a gun runner that's why I've given him the nick name Machine Gun Oritsejafor. You can choke on this.

If Bakare is a disgrace to the church what will you now say about Chris Okotie, Chris Oyakhilomen, Ayo Oritsejafor?

Name one bad thing Tunde Bakare has done that smeared the name of the church?

Orikinla:
. If US$50, 000 is for only transport from Abuja to Lagos, then I wonder how much they spent on transport from Abuja to London, New York and other places overseas.

OrlandoOwoh:

Bakare has always spoken out. The DSS was always inviting him over his sermons. A programme of his that was running on Channels was cut on the way with orders from the NBC. All this happened under Jonathan.

christinie:
post the links to the news.

JoeCutie:
It's not surprising. Not everybody has read it. I've not myself.

babafirst:
hmmm,I am old school ,it was popular in our days.

You may google it.
