Wikileaks: Yar’adua Gave Justices $57 Million To Uphold His Election. US diplomatic cable reports recently leaked by Wikileaks report that now deceased Nigerian ruler, Umaru Yar’Adua, authorized the disbursement of $57 million to members of a Supreme Court panel who ruled to uphold his “election” in 2007.

I've not read the cable, so I don't know if the Sahara Reporters interpretation is true or not. But here it is: Subject (s/nf) Nigeria: Pdp Politico On Yar'adua Corruption, Ibb |

@OP The sad thing is that nothing will come out of these wikileaks revelations. All of our leaders are so Corrupt that the downfall of one will be the end of the others. They are all connected in their looting and evil. That's why IBB cannot take his fight with OBJ to the end. They both have too much dirt on each other. The same reason why GEJ and his EFCC will never probe Yar'adua or his so called family and Turai Cabal associates. Unfortunately, most Nigerians don't read newspapers, use the internet or have the Electricity to watch TV well enough to be thoroughly informed. If not for visionary and dedicated new generation young Nigerians like Seun Osewa(Nairaland) and Omoyele Sowore (sahara reporters) most of the folks who now come on NL will still be extremely ignorant about what happens daily in Nigerian politics or even about our history. BTW, I really wish I can help solve whatever disagreement Seun and Sowore seems to have. I digress. Even most of us with "good" access to internet will be barely aware of anything. I appreciate both of them and others like them. Nigerians talk politics a lot but those of us living in Nigeria lack the sustained access to information and facts to force to us get angry and act. Government owned media and their payed private journalist agents determine what we hear and the analysis we get. Even that comes in trickles because NO ELECTRICITY to enjoy anything and no robust or cheap broadband Internet access for the majority. On another wikileaks thread, I told a small story about a cousin of mine who did not hear about the UN Bomb-blast until 48hrs after the blast, his reasons; NO ELECTRICITY to watch news. He didn't know until I told him, and he lives in Lagos o I bet millions of Nigerians still don't know about that bombing. Thanks to twitter, BB and Facebook, few now have access, but they are too few and the access is too limited. It might surprise Nigerians living abroad to learn that many of us can't even view the YouTube videos they post online except we browse from work or view from friends or family with very expensive connections. So we still have a long way to go before all these kind of revelations will start having mass impact on our politics or influence how we vote. We are mostly in the dark in Nigeria. Very sad. |

@ Seun: You said you had not read the cable and was wondering if Sahara Reporters interpreted it right? Do you need a reader? |

How did Wikileaks got all these information. I believe someone said it but what if the person is lying or didn't get the accurate information/number. Though Wikileaks information might be current but I do not believe the information to be 100% all the time. @okada_man, you are so right!!

All PDP are the same. The PDP has completed the purchase of the Judiciary and final payment for the legislature is being made as we speak. Tambuwal a renegade and an obstacle will soon go. So the Old pharaoh promises -tyranny continues unabated!! |

Yet some people still have baseless hope in Nigeria I am waiting for the day half of the population will emigrate and those that will be left will be the looters and corrupt to the bone vagabonds that we call leaders. |

It is very pathetic ! considering what millions of Nigerian are passing through on daily basis all over the world. Slaves in mist of plenty ! Who can lead us face to face to Eldon ? Who will save Nigeria, in need of good leadership, uncompromised ? Youths of this Nation will you continue to be in water and soap will be entering your eyes ? Now or Never, enough is enough |

In as much as I agree that all Nigerian politicians are corrupt, I want concrete proof from whoever is running his mouth. Its not enough to run to the US ambassador to say something because you want to curry favor except you were paid as an informant. From this wikileak report, this man has fallen out of favor with his party and his bosses and now he seems to want to discredit them in the eyes of the Americans. They said he is one of the old guard, the persons that have run this country aground. As a matter of fact, I don't believe anything he said, Persons like this are our main problem while we don't move forward in Nigeria. Our leaders are corrupt, that's no more news, even the groundnut seller knows that. My late great great grand mother knows that, there are no roads, no electricity, no water except you have a borehole at home, nothing works because of corruption that started long before I was born. I want to see proof of the money, when it was given out, by whom and to whom in particular, evidence. WIKILEAKS IS ACTUALLY REVEALING THE SYCOPHANTS AMONG US. |

Let such a person speak and I will listen and listen attentively. But comon, not one of these politician whose past time is to seek for favor from the US ambassador. Yardua was corrupt, I agree but so is IBB, OBJ and Uncle Joe, thats not news. But this Sycophant Salaku or what is his name, is also corrupt and one of our problems. |

I hate corruption, everything in me hates it, every Nigerian except those that benefits from it hates corruption. But when a thief calls another a thief, i just laugh at them. Nigeria is sick because of all our past leaders. They regard the country as one of their estate. Our judges and lawyers are all corrupt, look at what is happening in the judiciary, My antidote to all of these is elimination. every one that has tasted power, children of those that have tasted power needs to be cleaned out of our system. Then we can take our country back. But I don't think this will happen in this generation because we are too scared to take our destiny in our hands. |

If these cable releases (particularly those with statements purportedly made by Nigerian public officials) are to be believed, then they provide proof that Nigeria is a client state - has always been and perhaps always will be. Someone once said: "Nigerians are proud people. The problem is nobody knows why". Several threads on this board are full of 'patriots' who violently oppose any criticism of Nigeria's ruling class, no matter how rational or logical such criticism may be. These 'patriots' believe they 'love' Nigeria more than anyone else and constantly harass those who actually mean well for this country. Well, here it is. Even to my jaded eyes there is something sad in seeing Nigerian high officials baring their souls and grovelling in the dust before consulate officials. What is the explanation for this? A pathological need to confess all (and i mean all) to American diplomats? Or a pragmatic recognition of who is really in charge? |

Let such a person speak and I will listen and listen attentively. Spare me that ! He is a man of integrity. bold enough to let the cat out of the bag irrespective of his co-corrupt fellows, party and thieves, of what they are capable of doing and all sort. We cant sit back and let our future be ruined because we are scared of what ? V FOR VENDETTA, Have you take a look at that ? |

This is why successive PDP President reserve the right to use the NNPC partisanly. It is the clearing house of corruption, shady deals and the source of ready cash to prosecute all manners of corrupt politics. Now GEJ has directed that the NNPC turn around our refineries in 24 months when virtually every expert , home and abroad , have predicted that what is needed , ASAP, is the transparent privatisation of our refineries. Personally, I am sick of the cynical and opportunist politics that needs compromised figurheads like Yar Adua and GEJ. I become convinced more, by the day, that it is perhaps only something drastic that will put Nigeria on the right path. |

i know there are some SS ppl reading through this thread and looking for ip addresses and tryna pay tithe on the perceived intelligence that secret service seem to hav in all those american shows.Now for u fools in the SS ,police and military back home this is for you. I heard during the lagos floods in june or july,the police college in ikeja was so flooded they had to break the walls to allow the water on to mobolaji bank anthony.and u fools called the nigerian police go to work everyday hoping the guys down under will deliver a multitude of 20 naira notes to take your own share to your four wives per family and a gazillion children. meanwhile your salaries(sorry stipends) from abuja are diverted in fashions that will amaze even the maverick fraudsters of wallstreet till only 60% of what GEJ sent to u only reaches ur acc. to the SS,with ur cheap suits made in 1963 when nigeria was made a republic,ur 200 naira frames and what in the world is dat crap u ppl hav in ur ears,reminds me of that keyholder i use to hook around my belthole in boarding school. the NSA don chop all the allocations made u guys is why dey all hav crazy pads for their kids here in london.was discussing with one of the rich ones recently and and all she could complain of was how she hated u guys coming into her space,cos u fouled the air around her,she was a burberry chick,smelt like a million pounds of ur salaries and our national budget.shame on you fools,for you work with ppl who detest ur very existence. to the human beings in naija,sorry for the intro but i had to get that out of the way cos when the shi.t starts,they will send these fools after you guys.my intro was to let them know they are just as victims as the rest of us they are sent to chase and beat down. i am not a politics talking person not cos i dont know what to say,but simply cos nigerians arent ready to hear the truth. if naija must change,ppl go die,blood must flow,anger must pump tonnes of adrenaline through our blood vessels that will propel folks from their sorry behinds to shouting enough is enough,and then actually mean it. but then our very own claim we are too docile,that it will never happen,the average nigerian loves his life too much that there will never be matyrs for this cause.afterall they claim abiola died and nothing happened,so did bola ige,marshall harry and whoever dey decide to eliminate next. so as i type,reckless enrichment pervades the land and together with clueless governance,Nigeria is held in a chokehold. they say dont insult the elders,but we are ruled by fools,so if the elder is a ruler and has done this to us,he must be a fool. but when history judges,who would be the greater fool,the minority who ruled with the iron fist and looted our nation out of existence or the majority who just sidon looked and allowed this to continue. |

And Yar'Adua squeaked through the Supreme Court 4-3 courtesy of one Dahiru Musdapher,who accepted a 'gift' of sponsored pilgrimage to Mecca from the Yar'Adua administration and came back just in time to give judgement in the appeal. Said Dahiru Musdapher is currently the Acting CJN and head of the judiciary. Cry,my beloved country. |

Since Andoaka wrote Yar Adua Election Petition Judgement after the judges have callected "Gbemu". I think Adoke should be preparing to write GEJ's judgement. Afterall, Musdapher is the one there now. JUDGEMENT IN NIGERIA IS NOW "CASH AND CARRY". |

WHY DID INEC REFUSE CPC ACCESS TO ELECTION MATERIALS USED FOR THE ELECTION IF THEY HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE? |
