Politics › Re: $533 Million Dollars Paid As Bribe To GEJ Cabinet Say Italian Prosecutors By ENI by DaGC(m): 8:11pm On May 12, 2015

dutchjongen:
"In the letter, the Italian prosecutors alleged that Scaroni and Descalzi oversaw the payments to parties who helped secure the sale. In a second letter they alleged that some of the ultimate recipients of alleged bribes used the money to buy aircraft and armoured cars."

So when his cabinet members where buying private jets as stated by Italian Prosecutors Goodluck Jonathan was not aware they were living of the avails of bribes they received right?

Dude, no where in the article does it state that the entire bribe was for politicians or GEJ's cabinet. There are also community leaders in play here too. And if a civilian or even a public service holder buying armoured vehicles is now seen as a president's responsibility to check on, then truly the role of the office of the Presidency has been ridiculed much.

In all honesty you think $533 million dollars bribe will be paid to those that work for you and you will not be aware.Who ultimately approves the deal?When Attorney General Mohammed Adoke and Minister of State for Finance Ngama negiotated the deal and bribes you are telling me Goodluck Jonathan who approved it was not aware,go and tell that story to the marines.
Hopefully when Buhari takes over the Italians will contact him because they know right now the bribe takers are in power till May 29 and nothing will be done about this case.

So, where it stated that the money was used to bribe local politicians and intermediaries, now results to GEJ? undecided

I want to believe you are business savvy and have an idea of how certain things are done around the world. Thank God an italian company is paying the bribe, so they know what they want. The bribe was nothing more than 'pushing my company's name to the top of considered options and making a good case for me so that I'll get it'. Now, please sir, kindly tell me how that relates to GEJ collecting the $533m?

Honestly, people need to get off this crazy assumption that in the next few years, Nigeria would be corruption free. Yes, it will reduce, but it wont entirely be wiped off. People will still use money to bribe electoral officers, block courses in school, give appointments/assets to their favoured candidates etc.and the President might not even know, unless of course he's a psychic.

We have heard all sorts of stories against GEJ but none actually sticks to him, just members of his cabinet, and most are allegations, nothing else. Hopefully, we'll see 1 or 2 cases after the handing over since the incoming administration has so much cited corruption and many other cases against the present administration.

Now, sit back and watch as this thread becomes full with people accusing GEJ of this scandal despite no where in the article citing his name.

Politics › Re: Tinubu And Fashola To Mentor All Other States- Sen. elect Ben Bruce.(screenshot) by DaGC(m): 7:22pm On May 12, 2015

Not really a bad consideration. Other states need to attract more investors into their economy. They need to have reforms, policies, infrastructures etc that will get investors to gladly jump into the state and invest. The population/education helps in Lagos though, because every investor has a wide array of potential customers to patronise their goods and services, unlike for example Kano and Katsina, I doubt large percentage of people there will wanna go to the cinema, hotels, patronise advert/HR firms, malls, fashion shows/modelling etc.

But hey, what do I know? cry

I remember a few months ago when a nairaland poster said oil is now worthless and useless, and that most Niger Deltans should stop bragging about oil. But what I told her was that, granted the ND oil belongs to Nigeria, but she shouldn't for one second think that for the nearest future that crude oil would be useless and worthless.

Well, the prices are coming back up. Hopefully, she'll see this and realise how folly her statement was.

The last paragraph of the OP is full of truth though. We heard Nigeria's problems during the campaigns, now we need solutions, not more complains of Nigeria's problems.

Frankly, I think its very unethical for him to keep acting like this. I'm still shocked that like his earlier pre-election statement, some people here still support this appaling statement. What he said was so not cool. He's supposed to be apolitical and be a father to all his kinsmen, or is he denying Agbaje and his supporters as part of his subjects? undecided

His opinion. Everyone is entitled to theirs.

Personally, I think he benefited from the present administration. Unless this article is wrong or is a propaganda, I think he was among the militant leaders that held several meetings before elections about GEJ winning re-election.

Believe it or not, GEJ will still get a heroic welcome in his hometown when he leaves office, and still gets his allowances, pension and other bonuses associated with occupying the post of President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The candidates are what matters. Choose your preferred candidate not necessarily because he/she belongs to your party. I have seen PDP/APC/APGA governors working actively and delivering their states, so this party hype should stop.

I for 1 wont vote Atiku, Orji, Ibori or Igbenedion etc into any post regardless of what party they are in. So enough of all these APC ish like its the best thing to happen since garri and groundnut.

A rotten patch of land governed by imbeciles.It's the 6th consecutive day without power.Buhari will need face to face psychic session with Jesus Christ to steer this country forward.16 years of blatant corruptions and failed economy can't be fixed in 4 years.

I dont think we should be making excuses for our leaders like you just did. It might make them complacent. They are not kids. We should hold them accountable to their promises. They knew what they were signing on for when they started making promises.

Nigeria's problems did not start in 1999, so all those '16years' crap should stop. It started way before 1999, but it was hinged on the present administration while previous ones were exempted from blame.

Which is why I think the General will work to try and beat the achievements of the present administration. But with us making excuses for them, like saying '4years is not enough', he might get complacent.

You all should save us this balderdash and gangue you throw out all the time.
If they had a case against him , pronounced 'guilty as charged' and sent to prison to serve his jail term as prescribed by the court, he wouldn't be anywhere near politics or buhari. Buhari is dealing with a man who has not been convicted for any crime and, I don't think he should act based on allegations that are yet to be proven.
NB: Thesame sylva did not allow buhari to campaign in bayelsa in 2011. Having him around buhari now is a clear testimony of buhari's forgiving spirit.
As far as we can see, sylva is not a corrupt man, until proven otherwise.

I pray you extend this state of mind to many other APC supporters here calling for jail terms for certain ministers and public office holders even though there is not a single case against them. Just allegations, nothing more. undecided

Hopefully, things get better soon, before social media do to Nigeria what radio did to Rwanda.
