The difference is that, if it is done by Buhari, then it is called a "gift". So aside Buhari, any other person that does same thing is termed "bribe".

If still in doubt, ask Lie Mahammed for further explanation. smiley

A bribe is a bribe. It is not a matter of quantity. Circumstance and intention are what define bribe. By the way everyone gives according to his capability. One can actually be outbribed if your opponent pays more. So your logic is not tenable.

Buhari and the judge are corrupt elements.

I agree absolutely with all of the above
It just exposes the hypocrisy and deceit of Buhari as a person and theconsequent laughable hypocrisy of the so-called fight against corruption of his directionless government.
Change Corruption indeed begins with Buhari and his close friends

The case is before the court and the statement was made by a witness in a case before the court, it is prejudicial for anyone to make any justification on the matter. Only the court can make the final statement. I don't care what Adesina or anyone else says. I really don't expect them as Buhari's subject to say anything than that which exonerate their boss.

That apart, I personally don't believe the presidency has the moral right to talk on the matter that predates Buhari's presidency and is totally unrelated to him in his official capacity as the president. No one said he received bribe as president, so why should presidency be defending him? That itself is morally wrong, it constitutes abuse of office and it is part of the problem I have with Buhari's set up, they want to fight corruption but basic moral concept, they can't digest.

Finally that he once bribeb someone, (going by your logic) doesn't mean he can't come around and fight that person. Technical matter shouldnt be pursued on sentiments. What constitute a bribe? Could the said gift be labelled a bribe? Those are questions that should be answered and once those are in affirmative no other justifcation or press statement can exonerate our president.

Is this not the same man who once said he has only a million naira in his account but has been found out to live his life in uk - his doctor is in uk, all his children school in uk. Can a million naira account finance those expenses? Buhari's antecedence doesn't portray him as a truthful person. Stop being naive and believing every lie you are sold. Wise up!

Considering the source, the ‘gift’ could never and will never be a bribe. Just like the N500m taken from ‘HemTiHen’, it was done in good faith.
Somebody tell me why am I not shocked.

Buhari is the most Corrupt Nigeria Politician in recent times.
Every of his thing is built on Fraud, his Waec certificate, Asset declaration, his real age, his proclaiming 'one Nigeria ' , his so called ' integrity ' , his anti-corruption stance and his lopsided appointments. No wonder he can't get anything right, his corrupt tenets stink. He is a corruption personified.

"BRIBE" is when PDP gives GIFT.
"GIFT" is when APC gives BRIBE.
Example: If Judas were in APC, the 30 pieces of silver he received would have been a GIFT.

Buhari's lawyer and the rest of the lawyers who gave gifts are all corrupt. The matter i am pointing out is that the people the lawyers are representing may not know of the bribe so cannot be responsible and may not be regarded as corrupt.

We all know, lawyers go out of their way to win cases and get paid so they do even illegal things. Use your head.

First it was Dasuki telling Nigerians how he gave Buhari 300k dollars and cars Femi Adesina said it was Buhari's entitlement. The truth is that Buhari 's entitlement ought to come from the SGF and not Dasuki. Now it's a gift not a bribe. What a country. APC has savagely reduced this country to a state of nothingness.

Looks like you are truely a Jokerman.

Does Jonathan have any case in court like Diezani or Yakub? Are both of them not facing their own charges? What is the charge for Jonathan? Why is it that Dasuki is in jail but Jonathan is not? Every body is responsible for his own actions.

Buhari's lawyer is only responsible for his own actions yet alot of Nigerians want to see Buhari roped to any corruption charge for what aim. CCT chairman escaped the same kind of thing because his PA was directly responsible but not him.

It seems Nigerians or majority of Nlanders wish to see that Buhari is corrupt or wish that corruption never ends in this country.
