pres-elect: I still wont even praise how he spent the money, cos it is his duty to provide those amenities to the people, he is not the owner of the money, it is the state's money, each money when allocation is made, it is made to the pple of his state and he is only a manager of the funds, he is getting paid for managing the fund, so i still wont praise him for nothing. I might beg for a reduced sentence for him sha, but will never praise the negro |

gov obi is not the problem. he is a product of the system. we are talking about a system where people can do things and get away with it. if there were punishments for such crimes, he wont dare do what he did or if he does it, he wont dare announce it. we have a system that is so deep in us, every nigerian. as displayed here in nairaland where people cant disagree without abusing each other. a system where criminals get honorary titles, a system where it is a ''great thing'' for a governor/ elected public official to spend public money for public good, a system where electoral malpractices are the norm(even in 2009) a nation of anything goes. to single out a governor, who took money (immorally) to buy buses and taxes for the public is like buying panadol for a headache. we should not just cover the headache with panadol, we should find out the cause of the headache . . . . it could be malaria, or typhoid fever. it it is not treated, the headache will return. |

Fhemmmy: we are together, i may beg for reduced sentence for him, but b4 that, he has to be prosecuted. the justice minister is very busy for that. but like i said, i praised the use of the money, so that poor man can at least get what he is supposed to get. i prolly should not have to praise him, i agree, but i had to, b/c i know where i'm coming from. it's been doom, doom,doom from elected officials since 1999, or even since1960 |

Fhemmmy: lol Its obvious U have not been to Nigeria in a long time. My friend, Nigeria is a whole different kettle of fish. We can all stay overseas and write beautiful posts about the way things are supposed to be done but the truth of the matter is that Nigeria is something else. I particularly like the thread that was asking "if western democracy was really suitable in Nigeria" |

I wonder if we will not then, by this, praise the man who uses human heads for juju money, but then turns around to use some of that money to help the poor and needy in society. Roflmao!!! Do we reduce his sentence because he helped the poor with some of that money? I wonder !! Is it then ok to murder people for money as long as you use some of that money for good. roflmao!! this is what happens when you watch a twilight zone marathon!! |

Re: ‘how I Spend My Bribe Money’—gov Obi by mustafar1: 11:03pm On Feb 24, 2009 |
we are still calling a spade a spoon. imagine being treated to a 20 course meal with the money stolen from ur wallet/bank account . you praise him for at least spending some of ur money on you. YES? please dont tell us that this is a different thing because the governor didnt steal the bribe he is using to provide needed things for his citizen. i'll be quick to add that, does that mean if he didnt get bribed he wouldnt have done the things he claimed to have used the money to do? |
Re: ‘how I Spend My Bribe Money’—gov Obi by preselect(m): 11:07pm On Feb 24, 2009 |
we praise ''spending money on me'' , we dont praise ''him'' . hey, what about stealing ''my money'' and spending it on ''themselves'' ? ahaaaa, that is the norm. my own governor did not spend money on me, which is why i left warm nigeria to suffer this winter. . . |
Re: ‘how I Spend My Bribe Money’—gov Obi by mustafar1: 11:09pm On Feb 24, 2009 |
pres-elect: PRESI, same difference HE IS STILL A THIEF! HE STOLE YOUR MONEY! |

Its obvious U have not been to Nigeria in a long time. My friend, Nigeria is a whole different kettle of fish. We can all stay overseas and write beautiful posts about the way things are supposed to be done but the truth of the matter is that Nigeria is something else. True talk jare. Most of the respondents are just talking theory because they are not feeling the heat. |

hhhmmmm I'm wondering WTF He put the money back in the state to get buses, taxis and improve roads. The governor needs to look for other ways to sponsor state projects abeg. If he allows them to give bribes then they'll think its all okay and who says the next governor won't pocket the money to himself instead of improving the lives of the citizens. Bribery is dead wrong but actually using it to improve transportation now kinda makes it harder to simply lump him with the rest of other governors. He is not like the rest of em who will simply provide cars for their families. In Awka he built governor's lodge so that governors won't be spending state money building their personal mansions and then stay there and the next governor will do the same thing. I condemn his actions but to haul him into jail for now is what I won't support. He is actually putting the money back in the state thus creating jobs for people. Nigeria is so corrupt that his actions don't even seem so terrible compared to past and present governors. Now are we having shortage of contractors that he can't do away with those ones? Also politicians always collect gifts and those are to me forms of bribes so that the contractor gets another contract. If the contractors are actually doing the projects and building what they are supposed to build when they get sponsored and then give the governor gifts to entice him to call em again then that is wrong but like he said put it back in the state. Governors everywhere even da USA get gifts and its really bribing but that is why laws are created to reduce the amount of gifts or sum of money they can give to politicians. |

Cock and Bull . . . The guy's just full of s**t. |
Re: ‘how I Spend My Bribe Money’—gov Obi by superboi(m): 11:15am On Feb 25, 2009 |
one question to mr OBI, sir as you were using the bribe money to bay taxi and buses did they give you another bribe? if they gave you more bribe did you use it to buy more buses again from the same people? . this is sustainable development at it's best .i think you should give the bribers , a state honours |
Re: ‘how I Spend My Bribe Money’—gov Obi by Fhemmmy: 1:54pm On Feb 25, 2009 |
superboi: that is one very interesting question, i hope someone will ask the "dis"honourable governor the question |
Re: ‘how I Spend My Bribe Money’—gov Obi by mogentle(m): 5:03pm On Feb 25, 2009 |
And the Govnor opened his mouth and spoke NONSENSE. Whether holy or unholy, a BRIBE is a BRIBE. |
Re: ‘how I Spend My Bribe Money’—gov Obi by Fhemmmy: 5:26pm On Feb 25, 2009 |
mogentle: na so we talk oh. |
Re: ‘how I Spend My Bribe Money’—gov Obi by BigB11(m): 6:14pm On Feb 25, 2009 |
This governor should step down immediately, period. The statement is despicable and shouldn't be allowed to dissolve into the air as usual; something needs to be done. There is nothing ridiculous than witnessing a foolish governor in action. Unqualified greedy leaders who are killing this nation must be stopped immediately. |
Re: ‘how I Spend My Bribe Money’—gov Obi by Fhemmmy: 7:52pm On Feb 25, 2009 |
Big B1:I second that motion |
Re: ‘how I Spend My Bribe Money’—gov Obi by asha80(m): 7:55pm On Feb 25, 2009 |
This governor should step down immediately, period. Including IBB. |
