Jamesqu: Walahitalahi, apart from God o...the only person (dead or alive) that can rescue whatever is left of Farouk Lawan is his sworn enemy, OBJ...

gboss4sure: GEJ Please remove the subsidy entirely biko nu ooooooooooo. They have killed and siphon us via this subsidy payment, who knows how much has been stolen from the half subsidy Nigeria pays................ PLEASE GEJ REMOVE THE SUBSIDY COMPLETELY. the thief's ate beginning to claim CLEAN.

mimifonwon: nawaoo and my dad told me you can always trust what an hausa muslim says to be true, if this is their type of truth lawan i no want

crackhouse: me too but iced war is more better.

Germannig: How does marking the money help here assuming the money has disappeared and no longer available as evidence of bribery? Marking money is only useful if still available as evidence, no? The security men should have arrested the bribe taker to recover the marked money as soon as it was accepted. I think both Otedola and Lawan have more explanations to make.

duen23:
This is probably the dumbest quote I have read here. The SSS is probably corrupt or incompetent. Pray tell. In a sting operation where you have video and audio of a lawmaker receiving a bribe, [b]you let the criminal walk out of their for months with no way of recovering your money? [/b]They should all be sacked and then probed (preferably with a Love Machine).
They only reason why he should have been allowed to walk out of there with $600,000 of the governments money is if they wanted to see which one of his colleagues would accept the money. No explanation as to why he wasn't apprehended once he accepted the money has been brought up.
This is criminal!

Cypost: This whole saga is difficult ton believe
if mr otedola did a sting operation with SSS as he claimed, why was Lawan not arrested
immediately he took the first installment on tape. i have not seen where a sting operation
is done and authorities will allow the suspect to go with the evidence (the cash) and
probably destroy it before arresting him. I think these two men are culpable somehow,but because this is
Nigeria and these men are men of 'timber and caliber' they may as well confuse the authorities
and smile away with their loot.

Kobojunkie:

E go better for you!

CHESSBOARD:

KJ I understand your curiosity about the money,but then [b]separate these two things, the money and Video tape, in Nigerian set-up which do you think its a better evidence. [/b]The holder of the un-spendable money can destroy it ok. I dont care why they have to stay this long to burst their bubbles all the same i have said it b4 "I LIKE COLD WAR"

Ileke-IdI:
Where is Otedola now?

If this story is true, we need to find out how long he's been bribing and who else he has been bribing. Lawan might end up being not guilty, but that will not make Otedola's hand any cleaner.

woodcook: Ndi ofe-mmanu awogo ndi-ugwu na ala!

queensmith: so whats gonna happen to the companies implicated in the subsidy scandal? and why did they even bother to trick this man? It doesn't make any sense, are they trying to discredit the panel?
It's unprofessional to indulge in such at a crucial time like this, resources should have been focused on getting to the bottom of things not conjuring up more scandals when other matters remain unresolved.
Nigeria sha, they know how to dramatize things.

Kobojunkie:

That is not my job to decide that now, is it? What I care about is the claim that there is evidence and a supposed criminal still walks free. Why? That is what I care about.

Hey hey hey easy lady, this is a senior Honourable the worst that could happen to him is to remove him as the committee chairman and keep him at the National assembly's backseat. Unless somebody got balls

Kobojunkie:

Cut the bull . . . You were told that the evidence that this took place was on some videotape/audiotape. Your own money was not stolen here and all you are going on are stories that do not all seem to line up.

Any sensible human being will choose to wait to see what happens next before jumping to conclusion on this, and knowing what the best next step should be.
