This thing is political. Let SNG say why gej attempted to bribe them as bribe is always towards inducing someone to do a thing. Have we forgotten that this SNG through Bakare ENDORSED Buhari as their candidate for 2011 in october this year? |

$50,000 is hardly a bribe in the Nigeria political scene. Maybe GEJ thought they needed petrol. |

OMO IBO: Exactly! Who is that cheap? It translates to about 7 million for the whole of the Save Nigeria Group; now thats just bloody ridiculous! Sahara Reporters is fast descending below the bottom of the gutter. |

I just heard on radio that the money that was supposedly returned can no longer be accounted for. . . LOL |

Not sure what part of my comment doesn't make sense. What I typed is exactly what I heard. |
Re: The $50,000 Bribe Saga: Did Jonathan Try To Bribe SNG? by Kobojunkie: 9:45am On Nov 30, 2010 |
The Government aides denied offering such a bribe. So how can bribe money that never really existed now be declared missing? Who exactly declared the money missing? The same government aides? The pastors who claim they turned it down? |
Re: The $50,000 Bribe Saga: Did Jonathan Try To Bribe SNG? by Nobody: 9:57am On Nov 30, 2010 |
I said I heard it on radio. Surely, that isn't too hard to comprehend. Or is it?? |

Why are people still asking questions about the motives behind the bribe? Abeg you guys should go to Sahara Reporters and read all the claims and counter claims about this scandal before making comments. The Pastor and Odumakin have accused team GEJ of attempting to bribe them, while team GEJ has only concentrated their efforts at discrediting Sahara Reporters but have not come out to tell us that the SNG guys are lying. Reading about the whole incident on SR, it's obvious the SNG guys have more arsenal at their disposal to unleash if team GEJ makes any attempt at blackmailing SNG or tarnishing the images of the SNG personalities involved. Please read the whole thing first b4 you make ill-informed comments. |
Re: The $50,000 Bribe Saga: Did Jonathan Try To Bribe SNG? by igochopurs(f): 10:34am On Nov 30, 2010 |
^^^^ and SaharaReporters have refused to publish the transcripts of their so called interview with Bakare but went to another website to copy the story of the Ogunmakin person to substantiate their report. If they did interview Bakare- lets see the full Transcript rather than taking a single quote and using it as an argument and copying stories from other websites. |
Re: The $50,000 Bribe Saga: Did Jonathan Try To Bribe SNG? by MaiSuya(m): 11:01am On Nov 30, 2010 |
“But 48 hours after the visit Saharareporters called to inquire if we visited Jonathan, which we confirmed. We then learnt that the meeting leaked through the other party. At that point, it became clear that some people were out to do some dirty job. It was later revealed to us that the story that was actually sold was that we collected money from the Presidency.” something clearly is going on here. If, as the SNG claims, they didn't want to embarrass the presidency over the issue, and so attempted to cover it up by quietly returning the money, who then is responsible for the leak to SR? who are the ppl that want ''to do some dirty job?'' |
Re: The $50,000 Bribe Saga: Did Jonathan Try To Bribe SNG? by Nobody: 11:42am On Nov 30, 2010 |
The story is all very funny and has a wicked undertone to it, SNG claims Orubebe gave them the money while they were about going out of Aso rock, and insisted they take it according to Odumakin, they later went to their hotels with the alleged "Bribe" and later called another GEJ aide to return it back, funny, why in the first instance didn't they stick to their guns in the parking lot or wherever they were in Aso rock and say "NO WAY" we wont accept any gift or "Bribe", but rather they accepted it, took it to their hotel room and later changed their mind and return it back, and later blew up the story, so funny a tale. For them to have taken it out of Aso rock showed they accepted the "Bribe" but were disappointed that it was only $50,000. Its the same Bakare that attacked Ribadu that he wanted to hijack the organisation for his political ambition, Ribadu had to refute it, Bakare says SNG is not a political organisation but he backs Buhari for president, is that not being political, can we say he won't allow his choice as a person affect the choice of SNG since he is the convener, his actions and attacks on other political aspirants shows this, neither have we forgotten that their was a corrupt toga attached to him by some other members of this same SNG and he was suspended, we also forget this so soon. If SNG rejected a "Bribe" as they said is that not enough why blow it out if not for some selfish motives, most folks now are just taking anything SNG is dishing out now as the real story but the denial by Orubebe is not real, "He is a government man so he must be lying" that's their official position. Abeg make we lef mata jor. |
Re: The $50,000 Bribe Saga: Did Jonathan Try To Bribe SNG? by Mesef1: 12:45pm On Nov 30, 2010 |
But please what is this fuss about It is the tradition for the President to offer gift to people who come to visit him in Aso Rock. At least he has non-accountable security votes of several millions every month to accomodate this. I am convinced that the offer to SNG of a paltry $50,000 is not a bribe but a gift. $50,000 is nothing in Nigerian bribe history. Even governorship aspirants offer more! Let us even try to establish the motive. Is the SNG affiliated to PDP, such that its support will help GEJ beat Atiku at the PDP primaries? What does the average man on the street think or know about SNG?? Do they command a strong followership in Nigeria If at all GEJ will need the SNG, it will be for the general election and not when he is still having some headaches on how to cage Atiku's potent political machineries. I think there was a communication gap. A gift being misconstrued for bribe. |

The president was merely paying his tithe. I actually took the time out to register with Nairaland today because I just had to share this! I've been following the bribery scandal on-line and I want to know what you guys think about this one: [url]http://www.wazobiareport.com/default.aspx/Alleged-$50,000-bribe-was-actually-tithe[/url] |
Re: The $50,000 Bribe Saga: Did Jonathan Try To Bribe SNG? by deols(f): 1:08pm On Nov 30, 2010 |
The bribe, if truly one, can only be for one thing- To keep their [size=20pt]Mouth shut[/size] and not say anything derogatory of Jonathan's presidency with regards to the bolded part. SNG officials led by Pastor Tunde Bakare met with the president in Aso Rock to discuss the group’s [size=20pt]disappointment with the state of the nation. [/size] |
Re: The $50,000 Bribe Saga: Did Jonathan Try To Bribe SNG? by Beaf: 1:15pm On Nov 30, 2010 |
^ Bribe my foot! Why on Earth would anybody bribe SNG? They are not a political party, they cannot tip the PDP primaries one way or the other. Bribe for what? And only N7.5million for a nation wide group. Abeg, make we hear word jare! |
Re: The $50,000 Bribe Saga: Did Jonathan Try To Bribe SNG? by debosky(m): 1:19pm On Nov 30, 2010 |
Beaf: Defending the indefensible - first you claimed the article was false, now you're saying it wasn't a 'bribe'. Unfortunately, you have joined the senseless bandwagon of claiming it was 'only' 7.5 million, as if stealing 7.5 million of government money is not a crime? Even if it wasn't a 'bribe', it is a corrupt practice to offer people $50,000 of Nigeria's money for simply coming to visit. |
Re: The $50,000 Bribe Saga: Did Jonathan Try To Bribe SNG? by igochopurs(f): 1:22pm On Nov 30, 2010 |
The Bakare I know would have come out to talk on this matter if it was indeed true. We can not rely on a Sahara whatever report to believe this story hook, line and sinker. If SR realy had aninterview with Bakare- let them publish the full transcript or keep their mouth shut. |
Re: The $50,000 Bribe Saga: Did Jonathan Try To Bribe SNG? by deols(f): 1:32pm On Nov 30, 2010 |
Abuja - Wazobia Report has obtained a copy of a secret memo being prepared by the Ministry of information in response to the furore over the alleged $50,000 bribe. this is embarrassing. sounds like some primary school essay. d drama continues. . . |
Re: The $50,000 Bribe Saga: Did Jonathan Try To Bribe SNG? by Beaf: 1:33pm On Nov 30, 2010 |
debosky: Stop telling lies to suit whatever position you hold. Its called dishonesty at best. I have only said the story is too ridiculous to be worth my time. |
Re: The $50,000 Bribe Saga: Did Jonathan Try To Bribe SNG? by debosky(m): 1:41pm On Nov 30, 2010 |
^^ Ok I apologise. Do you consider $50,000 to be a bribe or not? A yes or no will suffice. |
Re: The $50,000 Bribe Saga: Did Jonathan Try To Bribe SNG? by Nobody: 1:57pm On Nov 30, 2010 |
Ok it's not bribe,it's EGUNJE.rubbish |
