They just had to smuggle in Jonathan's name somehow.

The information is from Italian persecutors and the emails of Shell executives.. How exactly was his name smuggled?

OMG!, I weep for Nigerian youths suffering directly and directly as a result of greedy leaders of this Nation...National earnings , sacked and shared by not more than 20persons out of Over 170Million Populace. Shell is part of our recession problem. Too bad

Dan Etete acquired the oil bloc in 1998 when he was petroleum minister under the Abacha government and the chronology gives you an idea why corruption allegations rarely gain traction in Nigeria.

A full investigation will implicate several people across successive governments. Some of these people are highly connected to today's administration as well as past administrations. So the story dies in Nigeria albeit kept alive by the international media.

The DSS and EFCC are more interested in "mickey mouse" corruption allegations involving relatively low level allegations. Has anyone heard anything about Sanusi's $20bn?

Here comes another media trial...we all know who will win!

Ikpewe:
Mbok see silly questim.

If you considered that this has never happened in Nigeria before, nothing has even come close to 10% of this figure (at least not that I've heard of), then you will realise the question isn't as silly as you think.

This is a real trial taking place in Italy not a media trial.

Well...

For the gullible

and we are still on nairaland typing shiiii

I totally agree

biz2get:
It's Never Late for Us to LEGALIZE WEAPONS IN THIS COUNTRY.

A wise man once said " Nigeria is fantastically corrupt" , Oyinbo will declare he receive money from the deal but Nigerians will deny it totally, my people democracy is not working for us abeg

sankky:
WE ARE TIRED OF THIS GOVT BY PROPAGANDA.
ARREST, PROVE AND HANG THEM IF FOUND GUILTY OR SHUT UP AND STOP DISTRACTING WE THE SUFFERING NIGERIANS

it's not a local new, it's foreign news. Has nothing to do with us except some nigerians name where among the list of guilty persons

Relax guys, this is nothing.
Also this will be swept under the rug where it belongs.

And somebody will still be wondering about the recession....imagine the quantum of corruption that took center stage....no wonder the then government were borrowing to service salaries at a time of oil boom....SMH for the shoeless hero....

Badgers14:
Shame shame shame....

GEJ the hero

Did you see anywhere in the write up that a dollar was given to GEJ, why can't you guys be patient to wait until investigation is completed and if he found wanting let the authorities deal with him.

Stop shouting his name with your ITEL phone

GEJ Fans, see your hero..

Receive sense. Did you read from the beginning to the end? The date for the proposed oil bloc bid was 1998 and don etete was minister...the deal probably spread out to Obasanjo's tenure as president... But definitely not yar adua or GEJ

I Wish Nigerians can unite and show interest in the state of the Nation as BBN.
We need a REVOLUTION!

tbaba1234:
GEJ Fans, see your hero..

Zombies like you dont read. Abacha gifted those oil blocks to his cronies! because of lingering legal dispute amongst owners and cronies, their sale dragged on for years and it happened to be sold under GEJ.

Who was president in 2010?



Crickets

This country is finished, you and I are seeing that its not working for any of us yet Seun will go on and say no to Secession when one group says they want to go

tit:


Who was president in 2010?

Crickets

Which president was mentioned in the trial?

There are two or more sides to every story, let's hear from the other sides (so called beneficiaries of the deal) before we jump to conclusion or crucify anybody.

We would be deceiving ourselves if the current administration will arrest these evil prosecutors but they are bird of feathers.

They will only jostle on the issue as if it's just normal.

God on my bended kneels I pray, grant me the strength together with other patriotic Nigerians to annihilate these evil demons through spiritual and physical means.

There is concrete evidence including email correspondence between Shell executives... We know the people involved on the Nigerian side will go scot free.

DSS, ICPC and EFCC bodies were created as a faceoff to deceive Nigerians they are fighting corruption but like you said, they are more interested in the mickey mouse allegation while the heavyweights holding the nation ransom are neglected.

Jonathan remains the biggest thief in Africa.

deji68:
For the gullible

nobody is saying it should be sold for $500b, the $500b is the worth of the bloc, just to show you how valuable it is. but shell paid a "settlement" of $1.3b which was shared among govnt officials more like a bribe to get it.

Nigeriadondie:
Believe me while the foreign counterparts will face justice their Nigerian colaborators wud be free. Nigeria is doomed beyond redemption

Not just free but celebrated and will be voted in during elections.

Just look at this; "biggest fraud in the history of oil industry ". Yet some headless bastards would open their smelly gutters they call mouth to call this government incompetent.
