I personally feel Nairaland shouldn't be promoting such news.

If the Europeans are using their media to "demodernize" Africa and always paint us in the bad light, the only reasonable service we can do ourselves is to make people see the positive sides of us.

Not with our politicians sha. They are a bad apple. We should always expose them.

My opinion.

Do you mean to put your head in the sand like the ostrich and just pretend the arms deal did not happen? No one is painting anyone any color. Nigerians do a good job painting themselves.

I wonder. Here is naijaloaded version of the saga ''A private jet caught in Johannesburg with around $10 million inside, is the property of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, Sahara Reporters provides.
According to the report, the head of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) owns the private plane with US registration number N808HG, which is one of the jets recently seized by the SA officials.
The money totaling $9.3 million cash was packed in several suitcases. The cash was seized at the Lanseria airport following the luggage search.
Reuters previously revealed that SA police started investigation in terms of 2 Nigerians and an Israeli contractor, who were on board trying to illegally bring cash into the country, in what might have been part of an arms deal.
The 3 passengers claimed the money was aimed at buying arms for the Nigerian security, City Press said.
Sahara Reporters refers to the information allegedly provided by the Nigerian aviation authorities : that one of the jets belonged to Pastor Oritsejafor while the second one was registered to Felix Idiga, the owner of Jafac Aviation Limited.
It was disclosed by the South African source that Oritsejafor’s jet was released after some high-ranked Nigerian officials insisted that the money was approved by the government for purchase of weapons.
CityPress revealed that only the Israeli contractor knew the combination locks to all the cases, which were on board.
When contacted, Mr. Idiga denied owning the jet involved in the scandal. Pastor Oritsejafor could not be reached for the comments.

donmalcolm21: Sometimes I feel like strangling the reporters for SR because of their biased reporting. Why should Nigeria buy arms in the black market when its not under any sanction. SR need to tell the truth and anyone that belives that shit will belive that the MuM did not give birth to him or her. Plz don't quote me

Went up to search for Sahareporters as the source of this news and I found Reuters. Or was it changed? In case you really wanna know Sahara's reportage on this see it here

Arms Smuggling Jet Caught With $10million In South Africa Linked To CAN President, Ayo Oritsejafor

BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORKSEP 15, 2014

An investigation by SaharaReporters has revealed that a Nigerian private jet caught in Johannesburg with $10 million belongs to Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, the head of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN). Mr. Oritsejafor is also a close confidant of President Goodluck Jonathan.

Ayo Oritsejafor
The CAN leader’s private plane with US registration number N808HG was one of two jets cited by South African officials on September 5 Mr. Oritsejafor's jet arrived South Africa with $9.3 million cash loaded in several suitcases. News of the seizure of the cash broke over the weekend, triggering questions about the ownership of the jets and weapons they intended to purchase.

Nigerian aviation authorities disclosed that one of the jets belonged to Pastor Oritsejafor while the second one was registered to Felix Idiga, the owner of Jafac Aviation Limited.

Two Nigerians and an Israeli defense contractor, Eyal Mesiaka arrived in the jet when they were accosted in South Africa authorities. A South African source disclosed that Mr. Oritsejafor's jet was released after top Nigerian officials intervened, claiming that the weapons to be purchased had the official blessing of the Nigerian government. The jet arrived with two plastic suitcases and two hand luggages with combination locks only known to the Isreali contractor, according to CityPress

Earlier today, SaharaReporters rang the mobile telephone number of Mr. Idiga. At first, he pretended and claimed that he was the Aide De camp to Mr. Idiga. But when our correspondent identified himself as a reporter from SaharaReporters, he owned he started answering questions relating to the issues but claimed the jet we published on our site wasn’t his own. Asked if he knew of another private jet named in apparent arms buy in South Africa, he asked where we got our information after we read the jet registration number to him. He then denied that his jet was involved, before hastily hanging up the phone.

We were unable to reach Pastor Oritsejafor before going to press.
