Shame, I didn't expect anything different.

When some Obas were romancing with Abacha, this will not be hard to believe. The worst of it is that Nigerians know the corrupt kings but they still continue to praise them. This is what encourages people to be corrupt. Corruption should be stigmatized not embraced.

this is not about been a begger its about collecting when a fool present money

Same reason this country is were it is today, no improvement...PDP have been sharing our common wealth during election just to make sure they remain in power...how do we expect them to work when they have to recover the money they shared during election...I pity common masses of nigeria because the children of the elites future is always bright.

Where does these media houses get these figures from? Where is the proof? Or is it still part of the smear politics?
If this is true, then Mr Jonathan has totally lost it

It is not smear politics, it is truth. I confirmed this from people who know and made a thread on it a while back even before this report. I was told that an Arewa group in south west was given as much as $100,000.

It is amazing how much money has been spent on bribing people.

the obas don hammer o chai

Oh you think his frequent visit to Lagos is just for show..GEJ is sharing our common wealth to every organizations in the country.

This is where all the dollars is going . . . making life miserable for the common man just 'cause of your selfishness. You'r not 'clueless' after all, you know what you'r doing.

How would the exchange rate not keep rising?

APC propaganda lies and God's Grace have one
thing in common: they are new every morning.

'What do you call corruption?'
Patience Jonathan explains
----------------
“In abroad, if a young boy
works so hard and buy a copter,
we praise the boy.

But in Nigeria, if a young boy works sohard and buy a copter, we say he’s corrupt. Why?" - Patience Jonathan

Money politics, mortgaging their destinies for a morsel of porridge........smh.....

Ironically, a son of one of the prominent Obas is contesting on the platform of the opposition, APC. Interestingly, when the President visited the palace, the father dressed the son with the same attire as the others.

"soun" of ogbomoso right?

Very sad,many are just blind to see the writing on the wall,deaf to hear the truth and suffering from " brain shrinking" to perceive the calculated attempt to squeeze the oxygen out of Nigeria ( Finance). Its sad,...... What a pity. May we all see beyond March 28. With our reserves intact. Let there be change God. Am tired of reading the new film "Wasting the billions" .

LIES fed from APC house of propaganda to Punch for publication.

Pictures of the obas receiving the money from Jonathan or it is a certified and confirmed rumour.

Meanwhile we know those who have been DOLLARising from their convention to Chatham House arrangee debate =>

Dollarization Of The APC Primaries: How Amaehi Vanquished Atiku #saibuhari

The blogosphere was inundated with reports of the excessive sharing of dollars at the All Progressives Congress which took place during the latter part of last week.

One APC supporter and Special Adviser to Osun Governor on Environment, BolaIlori had blown the scandal open after he saw the beginning stages of the dollarization in action.

He took to his Facebook page and scribbled, “Crazy things are happening here!!! Some of these cannot represent the change Nigeria is yearning for. Excessive dollarization by one of the aspirants to is to say the least obscene. I have been involved in political process for decades now, I have never witnessed this volume of raw dollarization of party primaries. I only read about this kind of things in PDP primaries. [size=14pt]A question been asked by conscientious delegates is that whoever can be giving out between $2000 to $5000 to…delegates certainly does not represent the kind of change Nigerians want…those who contributed to the pauperization of Nigeria now revel in dollarization[/size]… majority of Ondo delegates are still standing with Buhari but have been reduced from 85% to 70% within 24 hours…the remaining has gone with dollars ooo.!!!!!”

One has to wonder how Buhari was able to win the primaries in this era of stomach infrastructure where dollars are like the Biblical manna that God sent down from heaven to nourish the Israelites as they made their way to the promised land.

Sources close to the APC with knowledge of the way the Primaries unfolded have revealed that it was Rivers State Governor, Amaechi who flew back to Rivers State and returned to Lagos on Thursday morning with enough dollars to make Benjamin Franklin blush.

It has been revealed that Atiku offered the delegates $5000 each, but Amaechi doubled it to $10000 a pop. Thus turning the tables in favour of General Buhari.

Since his adventure into the APC, Amaechi has gone out of his way to prove himself a party loyalist, always the first to shoki or azonto at the many events the APC holds, which he himself is usually the chief sponsor.

According to party insiders, Amaechi has overtaken Tinubu as the major financier of the party. One does not need to wonder why he is always at President Jonathan’s throat over misappropriated oil wells or other such business. Anything that diminishes from the State’s coffers will have a ripple effect on his funding budget for the APC.

Grassroot campaign indeed.

At the end of GEJ tenure, GMB will have to show us the federation account statement.

Let see if we still have one dollar.

Instead of baba piss 2 be saving money 4 his retirement on may 29th, he is busy giving money 2 people dat hav decided 2 vote 4 change.

Even if the story is true, can APC swear by whatever God they believe in that they have NEVER GIVEN CAMPAIGN GIFTS TO ANYBODY HOWEVER BIG OR SMALL .Campaigning requires a lot of money. Ask Amaechi and Tinubu . It's like a smart brilliant boy who gathered more firewood than his mates. His lazy and envious mates complained ( falsely ofcourse ) that he gathered his bunch from the Evil Forest.

M not surprise to read dis dirty allegation against jona.God will deliver us wen sanusi cried out dat some money were missing den I told some people here here dat dey will keep dt money for election.so wats hapening now. Pls let's vote dis man out dis coming march.let me tell u dis we avnt seen anytin yet u na go hear and see many atrocity jona hs comited.

[size=25pt]If President Goodluck Jonathan perform very well as a president the 2015 election would have been a "carry go" for him.

Jonathan do not need to bribe any south west traditioner ruler to get the peoples vote. Jonathan spend the country money on the rich people he surround himself with instead of the masses who voted for him. He is an faced with an election defeat.

Raiders:
I feel sorry for Buhari because by the time he gets swear into office by May 29 there will be no money left in the nation account for him to start with. I just hope he probe and arrest GEJ and his corrupt kitchen cabinet. #Never again will Nigeria vote a corrupt president like GEJ

No money in the reserve because APC state governors and others have been putting pressure and exercising their CONSTITUTIONAL right to simply share the Excess Crude Account (ECA) from Niger Delta oil revenue =>

FG, States, LGs Share N568.4 Billion for Oct
15 NOVEMBER 2013

Also, $1billion was proposed for distribution to complement shortfall in expected revenue." The $1billion is a compromise by the FG over its words in September not to augment shortfalls anymore.

Responding to the presentation, the chairman of the States Commissioners of Finance and Ebonyi State Commissioner of Finance, Mr Timothy Odaah, lamented that the statutory allocation was getting smaller and smaller. "It appears this is the worst in terms of returns. This is the least in allocations as far as this year is concerned. We are mourning the dearth of funds and this is a wakeup call for states and local governments to buoy up their internally generated revenue."

While appreciating the "magnanimity" of President Goodluck Jonathan to approve the $1billion from the excess crude account and to be shared among the federal, state and local governments, Odaah expressed disappointment with the returns made by the NNPC.

He said that [size=14pt]the states had requested for $2bn[/size] to complement for the shortfall in revenue but got only $1billion. In September, Odaah and fellow commissioners had walked out of the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF) when the federal government said that the framework of the 2013 budget was no longer realistic and it won't augment shortfall in revenue. Odaah raised issues with the statutory allocations of previous months.

Dont be silly - the FG were looting the account long before they demanded the ECA be shared which is their constitutional right. FG were treating the ECA like their personal bank account!

Badgers14:
Clueless Jona embarrssing Nigeria.

GEJ is disgracing Nigeria , he doesn't act like an intelligent person, well he is not anyways. Instead of telling Nigerians what he achieved in the last 6 years and why they should vote for him again, he is busy jumping from Church to church , sharing money to obas who have only one PVC. Instead of telling millions of Nigerians that have their PVC why they should vote for him. GEJ and his team are doing a beer parlor campaign, you buy few drinks for guys and they hail you till day break . but sorry the clueless one, those days in politics are gone.


Oh, I can't wait for March 28

#Ihavedecided.

Sai GMB 2015

my brother dont see Buhari as saint because of this. APC share moneys every week in my area. APC share stuffs too. 3 weeks ago Buhari shared moneys with northern Pastors. They're not sharing as much as Goodluck because they dont have as much resources as him. I say this to show they're all guilty. The shared money may not be from the country's treasury,its likely to be from the 21 billion Naira raised for his campaign. We should prepar our minds as leaders of tomorow to establish a better Federal Character,stamping out this kind of money politics. What am saying in excess is that politics is a dirty game. Vote for your candidate and wish Nigeria all the best. One love.

The question now is ,how far can this take mr President?

After him go deny say make dem investigate. Sharing our wealth to few pals God dey ooo

The incompetent president has converted the Central Bank of Nigeria to his own personal ATM.

I see him ending up in jail after his defeat on 28th March.

That is not true - they had to threaten supreme court action before the ECA was finally shared, what is published is the allocations.
