Okah Speaks With Next Newspapers by Nobody: 4:16pm On Oct 08, 2010 |
In a telephone interview from a South African number, a man claiming to be Henry Okah has said that government's efforts to cast doubt on the Aljazeera interview is what partly prompted his call to NEXT. In order to authenticate his identity, the man asked for, by name, some of the NEXT reporters Mr Okah has spoken with in the past. http://234next.com/csp/cms/sites/Next/Home/5628394-146/man_claiming_to_be_okah_speaks.csp |

I believe he could have spoken with Al Jazeera but he must have lied when he claimed that a close associate of GEJ contacted him. I wonder why the SA authorities have not come out publicly to admit or deny his claim |

Oh please . . he must have lied? How do you know this? How can South African Authorities do anything? They are operating on claims made by Nigerian Government against this man. If you need proof of the call, you would need to ask Okah himself or the Aide that supposedly called him. All in All, Okah is likely the only one to give you this information and you are better off making these demands of him or his lawyers. |

ferari90: Okah is the one heating the polity with his cell phone from SA. GEJ's aides have asked that he name the presidential aide that spoke with him but he has refused to. I also wonder why GEJ will tell Okah to claim northerners are behind the attacks. Its absurd |
Re: Okah Speaks With Next Newspapers by naso2(m): 4:53pm On Oct 08, 2010 |
Formally it was a phone call, now it is a text message. Okah will soon dribble himself and score an own goal. |
Re: Okah Speaks With Next Newspapers by Kobojunkie: 4:54pm On Oct 08, 2010 |
na_so: Please read . . .There was a phone call AS WELL AS a text message from the official. There is no denial of a phone call from the said aide. dappssee: Are you certain of the portion in bold? Okah is being held somewhere, how did this message get to him in South Africa? By Email? Phone call? What media? Please inform us so we are updated on this . . |
Re: Okah Speaks With Next Newspapers by Nobody: 5:10pm On Oct 08, 2010 |
Our President is rolling with the wrong crew. I'm beginning to suspect GEJ is as stupid as he looks, his foot is permanently in his mouth! Any number of men within the Jonathan 'inner caucus' could have contacted this guy, because the President still rolls with the same Bayelsa crew up until now. Alams, Godsday Orubebe, etc are still quite close to the president, and the entire militancy thing actually festered in Bayelsa during the Alams era, I remember the Aams once went to an offshore rig to physically negotiate with armed insurgents who had held the rig hostage, back then when he was still Governor of Bayelsa. Alams is the Godfather of militants in Nigeria. Also GEJ's authoritative claim almost immediately after the bombings suggest he was in quite close communication with the 'retired' commanders of MEND, heck, he actually hosts them on a peer-to-peer basis and press conferences are held after such meetings, he didn't see his close association with those brigands as anything to be ashamed of, because he has probably known them from way back when he was Alams' Deputy Governor. He might even be a card carrying member of MEND for all we know |

Our President is rolling with the wrong crew. I'm beginning to suspect GEJ is as silly as he looks, his foot is permanently in his mouth! come on man, did you actually read what you wrote down, lets say for example a presidential aide contacted Okah, is the president aware of this?, did he sanction this ?, even if some overzealous aide decides to this, should we blame the president if he is not aware or never sanctioned it, would the action of your siblings be laid on you because your of the same parents or family, lets not be myopic in our judgements here, calling Alams the Godfather of militants is pretty petty and for me baseless accusation, He went to negotiate with militants to release a rig held captive makes him a godfather of militants, for him to physically go there even was a bold move, you guys just put points without really analysing it. Here we have a man Okah who is playing this country stupid and people are justifying his actions. What's hard in naming the official who contacted you if he is man enough he should do that to exonerate himself from the gulag, whatever the president gives out to the public as a clue concerning the bombings were handed down to him from the intelligence community, and until you have a better proof than what we read from papers then you have nothing. |

babasoty: LO, but he is indeed aware of those who bombed Abuja on 1st October, right? |
Re: Okah Speaks With Next Newspapers by Nobody: 5:32pm On Oct 08, 2010 |
Are you certain of the portion in bold? Okah is being held somewhere, how did this message get to him in South Africa? By Email? Phone call? What media? Please inform us so we are updated on this . . Must he be goaded by JEG and his fellas before he releases the name of the aide who contacted him, he would be saving himself a lot of time in the prison if he should publicly do that, at least it would help exonerate him a little, unless he is enjoy his time in the prisons |
Re: Okah Speaks With Next Newspapers by blueflame1: 5:34pm On Oct 08, 2010 |
I guess someone is calling us all STUPID. Read a text from ur phone which the South African authorities had confiscated as part of their investigation When asked how come, he says he saved it in another phone. As stupid and false as that sounds, No prison custody would allow you a mobile phone in custody Or the guy thinks he is the only one that has travelled abroad |
Re: Okah Speaks With Next Newspapers by Nobody: 5:34pm On Oct 08, 2010 |
LO, but he is indeed aware of those who bombed Abuja on 1st October, right? when he said they were terrorist based outside the country in conjunction with some disgruntled politicians was he blind |

Timeline of the series of unfortunate events: - September 30th, 2010- Okah's home is raided by SA security Agents - October 1, 2010- Bomb Blast Rocks Nation's Capital - October 2, 2010- Okah arrested and released -October 3, 2010, Okah rearrested, detained and denied bail to be back in court October 14th - October 4th- Dokpesi is arrested - October 5th- Dokpesi released EXCLUSIVE: Okah calls NEXTThis interview was done by an amateur. Fine, he may be able to call from a pay phone in prison but he will never take into prison a cell phone. That is a lie. All personal belongings are seized. That being said he said he received a text message that dokpesi was arrested? He was already in jail, how did he receive this text message. IBB needs to stop all this nonsense and do their research well before insulting us more and more. Except he has a contraband cell phone, this thing is all lies. The calls should be traced to figure out who made this prank or fake call. nonsense EXCLUSIVE: Okah calls NEXT He read the text message out in prison. What a joke, this is ridiculous and i feel insulted. We are waiting for him to release the message, the sender and everything he knows. He is going down, he just wants to take people with him. This can be anybody that set this up. A man that has nothing to lose will spill everything he knows if what he is saying is the truth. He is in SA, what is he waiting for? ANd all this back and forth he is doing, he is building more charges for himself and is being ill advised by his lawyer and friends that will send him to an early grave. |
Re: Okah Speaks With Next Newspapers by 9ijaMan: 5:47pm On Oct 08, 2010 |
At first they said he's a drowning man. Then they spread the rumors that Okah's interview with Al-Jazeera was faked. Now he's spoken to a 9ja news media and they are coming up with excuses on why he should be discredited. 9ja we hail thee! |
Re: Okah Speaks With Next Newspapers by Faeb: 5:49pm On Oct 08, 2010 |
There is no prison in this World, where a prisoner can make a phone call. And thats even if they only stole guguru and epa, not to talk of almost blowing up a President. Rubbish. |
Re: Okah Speaks With Next Newspapers by naso2(m): 5:53pm On Oct 08, 2010 |
This is damn funny. Definitely, the wife has kept another "Henry Okah" at home after the real one went to prison. |
Re: Okah Speaks With Next Newspapers by Kobojunkie: 5:53pm On Oct 08, 2010 |
In most every prison in the democratic world, inmates are allowed to make phone calls. Even those detained are allowed to make phone calls. There are so many examples that it makes absolutely no sense to attempt the false claim that they do not exist. http://ccrjustice.org/learn-more/faqs/faqs:-prison-phone-rates South Africa Prison Phone calls http://books.google.co.za/books?id=zRp6KZGzUWMC&pg=PA60&lpg=PA60&dq=South+Africa+prison+phone+calls&source=bl&ots=s0wp7v_tLs&sig=ob1lVnfo6Pe2vxCXH2ekXXDlUP0&hl=en&ei=rEyvTPPiOo3BnAfH__DtBQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBYQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=South%20Africa%20prison%20phone%20calls&f=false |
Re: Okah Speaks With Next Newspapers by TewMuch: 5:58pm On Oct 08, 2010 |
Faeb: hahahhahaha. They are allowed to make phone calls through a pay phone, but i very much doubt if they have international phone call privileges. But that is not the stinker, In this statement Okah claims he has his cell phone in prison with him. rotflmao. No prison, not even kirikiri will allow such. Because of this, Okah has been henceforth rendered not credible. He is a liar, a thief, an oppressor and a terrorist. He should face firing squad. I hope his wife gets arrested as an accessory and more charges are piled on him for having a contraband in prison. |
Re: Okah Speaks With Next Newspapers by Nobody: 6:01pm On Oct 08, 2010 |
Faeb: i no fit laugh naija mentality you think sa is like naija where they hold drivers for 3 mths for endangering life of the president? and these people claim to be living in the west a phone call is a [size=38pt]right[/size] in western countries to any arrested person wetin we no go hear even convicted felons in max security prisons get phone calls, much less people in jail awaiting trial like campaigner, like campaignee foot surgically attached to mouth |

YOUR RIGHTS: The Gatherings Act, Arrests and Court Processes Holding cell You may be put in jail before you are booked. Police officers often try to confuse and exhaust you to make you talk. Contrary to the common belief, you do not have the right to immediately make a phone call or see a lawyer. http://apf.org.za/spip.php?article151 |
Re: Okah Speaks With Next Newspapers by Kobojunkie: 6:03pm On Oct 08, 2010 |
TewMuch: Where did he make such a claim please? OMO IBO: You forgot to highlight the main portion of that ! |
Re: Okah Speaks With Next Newspapers by Nobody: 6:05pm On Oct 08, 2010 |
[size=24pt]Think guys think![/size] No one goes into prison custody with a communication gadget. If that was the case, people in detention can communicate with accomplices while in jail. Even if a prisoner or anyone detained makes a call, it will be monitored and certainly not to the press. |
Re: Okah Speaks With Next Newspapers by Kobojunkie: 6:06pm On Oct 08, 2010 |
dappssee: Not always the case . . . see the piece on the problem in British prisons . . . But it is still possible the call was monitored, only we have not been served up evidence that it NEVER did happen because all his calls were monitored. The man is said to have given another interview to NEXT. Are all these media houses now lying? |
Re: Okah Speaks With Next Newspapers by TewMuch: 6:06pm On Oct 08, 2010 |
Kobojunkie: dappssee: Okah, baba nla baba oni ro. Chei, desperado's. |
Re: Okah Speaks With Next Newspapers by Faeb: 6:07pm On Oct 08, 2010 |
dappssee: They can't even go in with their shoes or belts, talkless of reading a text message from a mobile phone. This thing is fast becoming magic! Maybe Okah is actually in Jankara or Okija! |
Re: Okah Speaks With Next Newspapers by TewMuch: 6:08pm On Oct 08, 2010 |
OMO IBO: Please stop the nonsense, he was arragined in court and denied bail already. All his personal belongings would have been seized. Spare us the bullshit, this story stinks. Full of lies. |
Re: Okah Speaks With Next Newspapers by Kobojunkie: 6:09pm On Oct 08, 2010 |
TewMuch: Did you bother reading the article at all? Nowhere in there are you told he had the text message on his person in Prison. Yet you came to that conclusion How? Because he said he had the text message saved on his phone and another phone? Please read again . . . maybe this time with your goggles and brain on . . .
