By the way, question of the week: What is the difference between bribe and gift?

Proudlyngwa:
You guys are the ones accusing Buhari of using his lawyer to bribe the judge, I think the onus lies you to prove he did it, if Buharis lawyer is found guilty, let him face the consequences, if he is smart enough to rope the president in, am cool with it.

False again (as usual)..........

The accusation came from the press based on information leaked by anonymous sources which explains why Awodein had to issue a denial and the Presidency too did same.

The question is, to which an obvious answer already exist; why will DSS suddenly stop investigating, if truly the entire process wasn't initially meant to malign Ademola for refusing to cooperate in some cases on his table........

So Awodein says it's a gift and it doesn't involve Buhari and that wraps up an investigation that prosecution lined up 19 different witnesses for?

But Andrew yakubu also said the $9.7million is a gift too but the investigation and trial is still ongoing. Which level. .......

Na God win sha. ...........

E big nwa.......

Proudlyngwa:
Let the lawyer prove, he was sent to do so by Buhari

This is where you are wrong, the fundamental standard in law is that the burden of proof rests with the accuser and not the accused.

I don't order for your arrest and ask you to come and prove yourself innocent, rather I arrest you and come and prove you guilty. That where the concept of "Innocent until proven guilty cones up".

The accuser in this case is DSS/EFCC and not Agi, Justice Ademola or his wife.

For the record, EFCC is prosecuting the case, but DSS is the one handling investigations.

Both agencies are directly answerable to the Presidency and not the Judiciary in any way. Both agencies are not answerable to the NJC nor NBA but Buhari himself.

So it is not the Job of the lawyer to prove Buhari partook, it was the part of the prosecutors - DSS/EFCC - to do so.

Only for DSS to say they didn't investigate because they didn't see the need; why? Because they saw a letter from Buhari's Lawyer saying it was a gift.

Does that sound like sufficient evidence to prove a man as influential as Buhari innocent in today's Nigeria?

You arrest a man for collecting bribe and another for sending bribe but when it's time to investigate/arrest the source of the bribe, you said no need? Why?

Because the source of the cash wrote a letter to the sender of the bribe saying that the money is a gift, coincidentally that source of the bribe or "gift", defended a case before the judge - who received the bribe - and got favourable judgement.

Coincidentally, the person the source of the bribe defended is your Boss and President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

You all of a sudden are now willing to believe that it was a gift and not a bribe and stopped all investigations immediately. ..........

Alot of Nigerians may not have the influence to push for Justice in this case but that doesn't mean a lot of Nigerians are naive.

I Can bet you that if an investigation was allowed to go through, Cash transfer of #500k would have shown on Buharis bank statement. That is all they need to rope in Awodein inside that case, that is also what the NJC needs to see to autonomously demand for a review of Ademola's judgement on Buhari's certificate case.

Most assuredly, Buhari will fail and that will be the end of his Presidency.

If that happens, it first and best person to argue case. Either Kwakwanso or Jonathan will be up for the seat, assuming APC or PDP puts the best argument in court.

That's why the investigation into Awodein gift was never allowed to sail through in case you don't know.....

Proudlyngwa:
The problem I guess is with Buharis lawyer, can you prove Buharis involvement, as implied by your previous quote or as reno claims.

Now!! Hehehe.........

You have arrived at Grand Central Zero of 21 questions.

Let breakdown the matter, assuming PDP wasn't in pieces, this is the questions that they should have asked.

We cannot prove that Buhari sent the money, but by DSS and Buhari's lawyer's submission: Justice Ademola is a personal friend of Buhari's lawyer.

Is it proper for a judge to entertain a case before a personal friend?
If no, then the lawyer that Presented the certificate case can demand for a review of the Judgement on the ground that Awodein was a friend of the Judge, hence conflict of interest and bias.

Also, if truly it was okay for Awodein to present "gifts" to his friend, why do so through a proxy - Agi - transferring to Agi and then Agi sent to wife and the wife sent to Husband.........

Why will a lawyer send cash to a Judge, through a proxy, before a Judge who gave you a Favourable Judgement in a case you had before him?

And if this weak deposition by DSS in court wasn't about protecting Buhari, why was Agi arrested and Awodein left alone. Why is Ricky Tarfa facing trial for the same offence that Awodein/Agi is about to go Scot free for?

The DSS guy said they didn't investigate whether Agi or the people that Contributed cash had a case before the justice.

A simple invitation and check of Awodein bank statements would have revealed if Buhari ever sent #500,000 to Awodein; but Babatunde - the DSS guy - is claiming that when they saw the letter stating that the cash was a gift to Justice Ademola, they stopped investigating....Why?

If they are not protecting or trying to avoid investigating Buhari; why did they stop the INVESTIGATION?

You don't get proof by making assumption, but by investigations.

And in this case when they saw Buhari's man investigation stopped......

All you keep asking for is; is there any link between Buhari and the #500k sent to Justice Ademola. According to the DSS guy, Buhari's lawyer said no, so it is true.

But you forget that the same DSS, came to court and said there was no petition of corruption against Justice Ademola. But when they arrested him, they claimed they had a petition which they used to get a warrant from magistrate court to effect his arrest. Shey you see contradiction.......

Also, why haven't they arrested Awodein till now?

The DSS guy said that when he saw the letter showing the cash was a gift for Justice Ademola's daughter's, he ended his investigation.

But Agi was arrested for bribing Ademola for cases, since he knew that Awodein was part of the people that brought cash, wouldn't an investigation into cases Awodein had with Ademola have been the first thing he would have done to justify the arrest of Agi?

It's obvious that there was no petition before the DSS and the one DSS presented to the press before was a fabrication to justify the way and manner Ademola was arrested. Plus the DSS mandate doesn't include cases like this, which is why EFCC is prosecuting it and not DSS.

But to say that they didn't know that Awodein had defended a case before Buhari is to call themselves dumb, just so that they can exonerate Awodein and Agi and The Ademola's.

Period..........

Forget.......This guy na dwarf compared to some people like Prof Chuck Mike in the UK....

Proudlyngwa:
There lies your bias, can u prove Bulgari sent it through his lawyer

You still don't get it?

I guess you didn't read in detail what I posted there or you didn't understand it, let me explain.

The #30 Million was sent in a pool from different sources, Buhari's lawyer share of the pool was #500,000. Buhari's Lawyer didn't deny the money but insists that it was a personal wedding gift to the judge and it doesn't concern Buhari.

Agi and Justice Ademola and his wife are standing trial. Agi was responsible for transferring the cash to Justice Ademola's wife in 3 tranches of #10million each.

When Agi was arrested, according to the DSS operative (obviously he was asked where the money came from) he mentioned the different sources the #30 Million came from including Buhari's Lawyer and letters were presented to back that information.

What the DSS guy is now claiming is that he is not aware and he didn't know because he didn't investigate whether Buhari's Lawyer had a case before Justice Ademola.

He is claiming that it is not a bribe but a gift for two major reasons.

One is that there is no petition against Justice Ademola before the DSS.

Two, there is a letter backing up the transfer of the case as wedding gift. After all Agi and Awodein are both friends of the judge.

The letter were tendered as exhibits in court.

The grand question is this, why did you arrest and recommend Justice Ademola, his wife and Agi for receiving bribe of #30 Million through his wife, when there no petition before you about him demanding bribe??

One would have expected that since you arrested Agi for sending and Mrs Ademola and his wife for receiving; every person would have been arrested for contributing the bribe money.

Every person except..................Buhari's lawyer

It was not until Buhari's lawyer was seen on the list of contributors before DSS backed off from the case.......

Proudlyngwa:
The lawyer has said his gift/bribe has nothing to do with Buhari or his case, .
If you have a concrete proof bring it out or remain quiet.
It's unfortunate that such affinity exists between his lawyer and his judge. Should he jettison is lawyer because he is a close friend of the judge. The onus is on the judicial commission to act appropriately.

This is where you prove that you have a bias - which is best known to only you, except you are ignorant of the facts - if you read the sworn testimony of Babatunde Adepoju, the DSS operative that testified about the gift allegedly sent from Buhari's Lawyer said it was sent with a letter from the lawyers to the judge........


Buhari's case fit the profile of the case of others before the court so they want to set Ademola free so that Buhari will not be implicated through his lawyers. You no even know anything whey dey happen, you just dey talk. Meanwhile Ricky Tarfa has the same case in another court but EFCC and DSS are blowing hot. Read the excerpts of the case as culled from thisday newspapers

[b][b]"The witness, Babatunde Adepoju, who is an operative of the Department of State Security Service (DSS), also admitted that the N30 million transferred by Agi to the account of Mrs. Olabowale Ademola, the wife of Justice Ademola, could not be described as a bribe.

Both Agi and Mrs. Ademola are jointly being tried alongside the judge.

Adepoju said that Agi told him during investigation that one of the lawyers in the team that defended the suit seeking to prove that Buhari did not have the basic qualification to aspire to the Office of the President, Mr. Kola Awodein (SAN) gave N500,000 to the judge as a gift during his daughter’s wedding.

The witness, however, held the view that the gift of N500,000 could not be described as a bribe.

In addition, the witness admitted that there was no petition from anybody that the monies recovered from Justice Ademola’s house were the proceeds of crime or bribe.

The federal government is prosecuting Ademola, his wife and his family lawyer, Agi, for alleged gratification.

The federal government, after calling 19 witnesses, closed its case yesterday.

The defendants have however applied to the court to file a no case submission.

A no case submission is an application filed by a defendant in which he intends to show the court that the prosecution has not established a prima facie case against him.

The court adjourned till March 15 to hear the no case submission.

In the 16-count charge, the prosecution alleged that Agi transferred the sum of N30 million in three tranches of N10 million each into the account of Olabowale and alleged that the money was gratification, an allegation the defendants have denied.

The witness, Adepoju had earlier told the court that he investigated the alleged offences levelled against the defendants.

In his statement to the DSS, Agi had said that the said money was a gift from Ken Hubert and Bassey Bassey who are friends of Justice Ademola for the wedding of his daughter.

At the resumed trial yesterday, while being cross-examined, Adepoju admitted that it was customary in Nigeria that friends and well wishers shower gifts on anyone planning a wedding.

Adepoju, in his evidence, had informed the court that he took the statement of Agi on December 23, 2016.

Based on that, he was asked under cross-examination whether Agi told him that the gift of N30 million from Ken Hubert and Bassey was a gift to the judge for the wedding of his daughter and the witness answered “yes”.

The witness was also asked whether Agi told him that it was not only Hubert and Bassey that gave a gift to the judge but that Buhari’s lawyer, Kola Awodein (SAN), also passed a gift of N500,000 to the judge. The witness also answered “yes”.

He was further asked whether Agi had told him that the N500,000 gift was given to the judge by Awodein during the pendency of Buhari’s certificate suit before Justice Ademola. He admitted that he was told so.

Adepoju was then asked whether as an investigator, he investigated the assertion that the said gift was given during the pendency of the suit.

He however answered that he did not investigate.

It was at this point that the defence team tendered the court papers of a suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/01/2015 dated February 9, 2015, wherein Chukwuwinke Okafor sued General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) over his qualification to run for the Office of the President.

Adepoju was then asked to read out the name of the third counsel defending Buhari in the matter. The witness read out the name of “Kola Awodein”.

The court in turn admitted the papers in evidence.

The witness was then asked whether it was right to say that Buhari had bribed Ademola on the basis that his lawyer gave the judge a gift of N500,000 for his daughter’s wedding. The witness answered “no”.

Adepoju was further asked whether it could be said that Agi bribed Ademola with the said N30 million when such gift passed through him (Agi) for the judge’s daughter’s wedding. The witness also answered “no”.[/b][/b]

https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2017/02/22/dss-witness-reveals-buharis-lawyer-offered-justice-ademola-n500000-as-gift/

In summary, they arrested someone for sending #30 Million Naira bribe through the wife, that one opens up and says that I only sent a gift no bribe after all, Buhari's Lawyer too sent the same thing; why am I the only one here?

Agi, who is a lawyer sent his own through the wife, Buhari sent his own through lawyer because the circumstances are similar. If the case is pursued further, even of they escape conviction, a case may be established against them by NJC/NBA.

The same FG that took them to court, is now deliberately weakening it's deposition to suit a no case submission to avoid roping in Buhari in the process.

Wasn't it the same DSS that cried to the media that they received petitions from some specific individuals about Ademola and Co. Now they are saying there was no allegation of Bribery all of a sudden.........

Why is the same DSS, that effected an arrest/investigation for prosecution giving testimony in favour of whom they arrested?

DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE TO YOU AT ALL.........

But why.........

Reread what you wrote, then check if you made sense

You go back and re quote the modified version and confirm who is making sense.....

Proudlyngwa:
The lawyer in question is Buhari his only client.
The gentleman has come out to disassociate Buhari from the cash, until he says otherwise let's respect his statement, what I was expecting is the judicial commission to remove the judge from the case, if h

Name a lawyer in Nigeria that is facing this kind of case before EFCC that has only one client.........

And why is a lawyer giving gifts to a Judge who just gave him favourable judgement?

Are you even aware that it goes against the ethics of the legal profession, EFCC prosecution aside?

What are you even saying sef...........

Abi, you think say na small pikin full here?

Okay, why is his lawyer walking free then and Ricky Tarfa is facing trial for the same thing? Abi is your comment/judgement coloured by a bias of sorts. ........

Let's even assume Buhari is excluded from the matter, does that immediately sanctify the lawyer........

[quote author=DonCortino post=53978527][/quote]Don't mind that fellow.........

You want to tell me that Buhari doesn't know the implication of his counsel/aide sending wedding gift to a judge who just struck out a case against you, that was in your favour?

So it's not about the fact that they haven't denied that Buhari gave money - it is now the size of the money ba?

Adminisher:
Reno the LIAR. If Buhari wanted to bribe a judge it would be just N500k and it would be through his lawyer and it would've at a wedding and DSS would announce it ABI?

The brain power of young PDP supporters has eroded over the years . It would if a man like Goodluck Jonathan is your hero . Either because of lack of exposure, low intelligence, easy living, lack of aspiration ..A lot of people don't have critical faculties anymore

Then why is justice Ademola being Charged to Court for receiving gifts from people - which the EFCC insists is bribe - but when Buhari own was mentioned among the list of people Justice Ademola received from, his own turned to gift.........

In other words, what's the difference between the Gifts that he received from others - for which he was Charged - and the gift that he received from Buhari through somebody that they are trying to ignore. ..........

To break it down for you, the seam behind them that deceived you into believing that this is a photoshop is actually the edge of a wall in the same room. It just happened that it's directly between them.


I know you want to come across as a smart kid, a detective or something of sort and it's not my intention to bust your bubble. But that's the fact.

Pete Edochie put a very large arm over her shoulder, where did it go?

Did he use the hand to grab her ass, plus she leaned into him, so that arm should be visible and not just vanish if it wasn't photoshoped. Or is Pete hiding her hands behind her?

Even a clear look at her lap gooon! For a lady as thick as her, it just dissolved into Pete Edochie. Think it now........


Zoom in the picture and look closely at the seam between them and then follow it down to the Chair, you will see the Clear difference between the portion of the Chair Edochie is sitting on and her portion and where both where joined......

Look behind or to the right of her you will see the chair she sat on has patterned lines on it, there are 2 patterned straight lines on her side of the Chair. Notice the side of Pete Edochie, you see there are none. Possible proof that both side of the chairs behind then are actually 2 different Chairs.......

Plus, he doesn't really need to play smart, he is just straight forwardly observant........................Period.

Its daft to indict police and INEC directly and then political parties indirectly.
In my earlier anology it is like indicting bullets and gun directly and only indirectly indicting the person that fired the gun.
The report that reached this conclusion is not a serious report.

Your opinion...........

In the real world, you indict base on evidence you have. Much of the weight evidence they have directly involve security operatives.

It's actually unprofessional to indict without evidence......
