Elombah.com Says Soludo Implicated In Polymer Naira Notes Bribery Scandal! by Edoji: 10:37am On Oct 05, 2009 |
A confidential source has revealed to Elombah.com that The Australia Federal Police Authority early this year sent a high level confidential security memo to the Presidency through the Office of the National Security adviser detailing bribery probe that centers on a series of multimillion-dollar payments by RBA firm Securency into offshore bank accounts of two British-based businessmen for onward transfer to Nigerian Government Officials to win a bank-note deal in the most serious development in a cash-for-contracts scandal. Australian Federal Police taskforce had been investigating Securency for possible breaches of Australia's criminal code, which outlaws payments to foreign officials. Prominent amongst the names that featured in the secret memo is that of then CBN Governor, Charles Chukwuma Soludo, senior officials of the finance ministry and a former president. These are not happy times for the former Governor of the Nigerian apex bank, Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo. As his gubernatorial ambitions falters amidst the high-wire intrigues of Anambra politics, the former CBN Governor has every reason to be a worried man. A knowledgeable source has revealed to Elombah.com that the former CBN governor was named as one of the officials that received bribes allegedly paid to Nigerian officials in order to secure contracts for the printing of polymer naira notes.

mrperfect: Another brainwashed mugu - On what salary is a man able to afford a house in a prime location in london and private school fees for children. |
Re: Elombah.com Says Soludo Implicated In Polymer Naira Notes Bribery Scandal! by naijaking1: 12:43pm On Oct 05, 2009 |
blacksta: Yep! You're another brainwashed mugu yourself, because you just can't wait for the whole evidence to come out. Idiots like you cause a lot sensationalism with your stupid retort about owing houses and sending kids to good school, but somehow you're too impatient to wait for the whole evidence. You make me sick At the end of the day, who ever is found guilty of corruption from top to down should dragged through the village market square in handcuff, naked, and beaten up good, spitted up and without any exception. But we have to be patient to prove the allegation. |

Bialegend:pls let's wait to see how events unfold itself this was how the 5 troubled banks started. We all said "It can't be true" but turned out to be true so let's wait. |
Re: Elombah.com Says Soludo Implicated In Polymer Naira Notes Bribery Scandal! by back2back(f): 1:42pm On Oct 05, 2009 |
The payments to the politically connected businessmen are at the centre of an AFP investigation into Securency for allegedly bribing Nigerian officials to win a 2007 contract. this put it clearly within when Soludo was CBN governor. I always knew that Soludo is a fraudster from the UBA indictment in US to this current case. http://www.theage.com.au/national/push-for-rba-senate-probe-20091004-ghyn.html |
Re: Elombah.com Says Soludo Implicated In Polymer Naira Notes Bribery Scandal! by Amjustme: 1:46pm On Oct 05, 2009 |
Someone saw this a long time ago. If Soludo had chosen nt 2 mindle in politics, his unclothedness would not have been seen but these days, politics comes with alot of unclothedness. |
Re: Elombah.com Says Soludo Implicated In Polymer Naira Notes Bribery Scandal! by Bialegend(m): 1:47pm On Oct 05, 2009 |
nethacker:Get your facts right. The five banks didn't turn out to be any true, rather, it turned out to be what we already suspected. That is a fraud perpetuated by northerners to take over banks of southerners by force. |

Re: Elombah.com Says Soludo Implicated In Polymer Naira Notes Bribery Scandal! by naijatoday: 2:23pm On Oct 05, 2009 |
Elombah.com give credit, you got the story from the Australian Newspaper and NEXT newspaper that wrote about it on Sunday. Soludo's response when NEXT newspaper asked him about it: Mr. Soludo, professor of economics and former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, under whose tenure the deal was signed and executed, declined comments saying: "I am no longer the CBN governor and I am not able to comment on anything." Mr. Soludo, who is now running to be the next governor of his home state of Anambra, suggested that we "Please talk to the governor" by which he meant, the new Governor of the Central Bank, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. http://234next.com/csp/cms/sites/Next/News/National/5466640-146/story.csp |

Every body is waiting to crucify Soludo. What about your past and present Leaders that has turned this country up-side down? Are they not walking the streets of Nigeria as saints?. Wake up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and stop pursuing shadows. |
Re: Elombah.com Says Soludo Implicated In Polymer Naira Notes Bribery Scandal! by citizenY(m): 2:30pm On Oct 05, 2009 |
@bialegend You want to pollute this sector again. I expect you to await further developments. Why can't you allow a dispassionate dscussion on any topic ? We shall continue to ignore you. I cannot fathom why a separatist will be so concerned about Nigerian affairs. I thought you should be busy fashioning out your kingdom in utopia a(red Biafra) wherever that is. You have a long way to go. |
Re: Elombah.com Says Soludo Implicated In Polymer Naira Notes Bribery Scandal! by naijatoday: 2:31pm On Oct 05, 2009 |
ud4u: So are you saying the issue should not be investigated becasue it is Soludo? |
Re: Elombah.com Says Soludo Implicated In Polymer Naira Notes Bribery Scandal! by rhymz(m): 2:37pm On Oct 05, 2009 |
I strongly doubt this story,everything about it is based on speculations, Infact,the write up is not coherent,U will notice that whoever prepared the story kept repeating thesame thing, I am not going to start commenting until there is an authentic report of this story. And for the ppl that are saying his salary couldn't have bought him a house in london and afford his kid's sch fees,that's a lame arguement,this guy was a CBN governor for Bleep sake.Do U think he's paid peanuts? Or that he does't have any business or investments of his own ?Come on guyz! That's not the issue.Let's wait and see,besides there's nothing there that indicts anyone besides speculations.I have a feeling that somebody, perhaps,his political rivals is digging up Soludo's past, Soludo welcome to nigeria's dirty politicking or better still American styled mudslinging politicking.U better start praying Mr Soludo,Ur rivals aint goina give ya a breathing space. |

naijaking1: While i want to state that waiting for evidence is always a rule of law, as you cannot convict anyone without the proper evidence, i would also like to say that MORE OFTEN THAN NOT waiting for evidence in Nigeria is like trying to squeeze water out of a rock. In cases such as this, there is NEVER any evidence (or enough evidence) to bring anyone to book and that is why there are still a lot of government thieves and murderers out there. This is especially the case when there are no foreign institutions involved in these criminal cases. If the UK was not involved in Ibori as well as Alamieyeseigha's cases, there would NEVER have been any evidence to convince us Nigerians that these guys were crooks. Left to our own institutions: the police, legal system, records systems etc, all politicians are INNOCENT, and have never dipped their hands into public funds. It is in Nigeria that evidence dey waka, evidence dey burn, people dey bribe evidence, people dey kill evidence, etc. HOWEVER, even in cases where there is enough evidence to convict, people still dey waka as free men. In essence, even if the evidence against Soludo is produced, he may still walk away a free man and become the governor of Anambra tomorrow. |

Ibime: Soludo has been trained and involved in research, teaching and auditing in such disciplines as the multi-country macro econometric modeling, techniques of computable general equilibrium modeling, survey methodology and panel data econometrics, among others. Soludo taught these courses at many Universities, including Oxford, Cambridge and Warwick. In 1999 he became a visiting professor at Swarthmore College in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, US. He has also worked as a consultant for a number of international organizations, including The World Bank, the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, and the United Nations Development Programme. @Ibime, don't you think Soludo could be making money from his consultancy services to some of these international organisations. Soludo, in March 1996, was paid $380,000 for his consultancy services to UNDP which my uncle co-executed with him. I am not holding brief for Soludo. He may or may not be corrupt but Soludo's earnings can comfortably buy him a choice house in London and pay his Children's fees in the best private institutions in London. In case you don't know, Soludo is an economist to the core, very conservative and one of the most prudent investors I have ever known. He invested heavily in the UK in the nineties. He had two houses in London that I know of in 2000. So, please its not everybody that depends on their salary. Some people work to satisfy their passion while some work for money/salary. I am convinced that Soludo remained a lecturer at UNN just to satisfy his passion. Correct me if I'm wrong. |

He asked for it now? when you decide to enter politics you are fair game. Honest or not you must subject yourself to public scrutiny and pray you come out unscathed. Good luck to him. |
Re: Elombah.com Says Soludo Implicated In Polymer Naira Notes Bribery Scandal! by Ibime(m): 2:49pm On Oct 05, 2009 |
archemedes: I stand corrected! Still, many fishy things went on in our banks under his watch. . . . and now this!. . . . we will wait for the evidence to play itself out. |
