$40Million GEJ Approved For Boko Haram Negotiation Reportedly Diverted To Other Country
May 22, 2016 – $40Million Ex-President Jonathan Approved For Boko Haram Negotiation Reportedly Diverted To Other Country
Ex-NSA Dasuki is in a fresh mess.
The office, already enmeshed in the $15billion arms deal, is being fingered in the alleged disappearance of $40million(N13.6billion) approved by the administration of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan ostensibly for the negotiation of freedom for the Chibok girls.
Part of the supposed deal was for Boko Haram to concede to a demand for ceasefire, we gathered on good authority yesterday.
The under-the-table negotiation was however botched because the Boko Haram leadership was not interested in the deal.
The whereabouts of the cash is now unknown, prompting a probe by the Federal Government.
One report suggested that the money was handed over to the president of a neighbouring country, while another said it was in the ‘custody’ of a former presidential aide.
The cash was allegedly drawn from the ONSA by the former top presidential aide.
A source familiar with the development said:”The government is probing how about $40million was allegedly spent by the administration of ex-President Jonathan to ‘negotiate’ with Boko Haram. The cash was allegedly withdrawn from the ONSA account by a former presidential aide.
“The said aide alleged that the cash was routed through the Presidents of a neighbouring country, but preliminary tracking showed that the money might have been diverted.
“Many people have been linked with the negotiation, but the government, through relevant anti-graft agencies, is trying to ascertain the whereabouts of the funds. We have started inviting those connected with the deal for interaction.

Our problem in this Country is selfishness. This is what makes people think about themselves without considering the others. There is a puzzle that I would like to throw at the fellow forumite. Why is it that we Black race pretend as we worship God more than the other race on the face of the earth but we never do the will of God? contrarily white people may not worship God as we do but they are doing something right for themselves. If we divert 13.6 Billion naira into our Health sector in this Country many Nigerians will benefit from it and many lives will be saved. People are starving to death yet we don’t know what to do with our money to expand ourselves Agriculturally so that we may have enough food for the populace. That kind of money is more than what a single person can take from nation’s coffer. It a shameful idea to keep on depending on white people’s food, their health care and their resources. When are we going to stop depending after independence? Let Buhari continues with his campaign I believe he will put our feet back into the right part.

@Jilo you have said it all. You are of the selected intelligent people who has spoken well and also in support of Buhari’s war against corruption.
Whenever i read such story about Nigeria and the amount of money stolen by this rogues my heart bleeds.
I am hundred percent in support of Buhari he alone can bring sanity back into the coutry. This rogues need their mental state to be assessed, this is because a sane person can never steal from his own country.
may they not die well.

@Jilo, I love your question. I think the root of all this lies in how we regard human rights. It is no news that the countries of the West value human rights far more than we do here. A corrupt African leader knows that the masses have every right of ownership to the money he intends to loot, but he does not respect that right.
But the whites even value human rights above God’s claims on human. They have completely barnished God from their thoughts. Everything centers on human rights: if man is happy, nothing else matters. But the African man, who still has God in view, has merely given Him limits and where He should not interfer.

@Jilo. again good contribution. let’s keep enlightening ourselves, i have said several times on this forum that the white man used religion as a tool. it can be used for good or evil depending on the context.For black race it was used to enrich themselves (resources) and disparage our own cultural heritage(psychological torture). They used the same religious doctrine as basis for their laws which basically means compassion towards others; they are actually following the doctrine. They provide for everyone in their country even the infirm and also foreigners.Nigeria has the most churches and mosque per square mile in the world, but you look around what do you see, wickedness, selfishness evil and most of all manipulation on grand scale. its self contradictory.We are doing what the whites done centuries ago using the same tool of colonization but to our determent. We black race basically lack compassion for ourselves and most particularly unpatriotic. The whites put the interest of their people at the forefront of their policies; there is checks and balances aka accountability (rule of law). most of our politicians go for the office with inherent disposition to loot, most of these people are generally installed by hook or crook, they seek to perpetuate their cronyism by having their own stooges in important sections of the running of the country which then provides them with immunity against prosecution. Generally our people are not even comfortable in our own skin, we are collectively saddled with inferiority complex.if we look at the countries the are are doing well both economically and technologically we see a pattern- self interest and patriotism. Nigeria is a blessed country, my heart bleeds when i think about her. When i travel to rural areas i see so much fertile land just lying fallow i just wonder why? why? in this day and age we lack in the mist of plenty; this answer lies in the unpatriotic governments we have had over decades and the propensity to wait for mana from heaven. The youths that are supposed to be the future are not empowered but indoctrinated so we inadvertently perpetuate our instability and dependency.It is now up to us to make a new path if we want to brake the cycle.I sincerely hope this government will take the bull by the horn and steer the country over the trouble waters.

Jilo, you make an excellent remarks about Nigerian, in our country, we have many top pastors, great Inman and so many many prophets and sears, but still evil continue to increase more and more, Jiol, do you know why ?Because millions of Nigerian go to places of worship not to pray to God with their heart or learn to do what the Holy bible said or what the Holy Koran said, but almost 80% go to church or Mosque as a hobby, the rest for miracle, because the rate we embrace going to places of worship in our country is so alarming that had it been we can get 30% out of these that do the right thing, our country could have been better.
Another point is, there is so many sprit of Ananias in our country, the sprite of telling lies, telling lies is the major weapon that kill every country, sometimes, we see people making references to western world, like UK USA and host of others, but they forget that this people never tell lies to their people, they said truth even at the point of failing down, but here the opposite, we love telling lies just as we are breathing, they thought that everything is African politics, please until we know how to tell the truth to ourselves, then we will talk of moving forward. God bless Nigeria
