We all knew it will end like this especially after the Nigerian government threatened them. I still think Jonathan has a lot of explaining to do to Nigerians.

There's nothing in the article to suggest that the money was legally taken into South Africa. They may have legally taken it out of Nigeria (which is subject to debate and interpretation) but by violating the South African law simply by not informing the authorities makes the deal Illegal.

All i can see is desperation by the Nigerian government to exonerate it self and associates of Money laundering . Yesterday $ 5.7 million was used to buttress the initial $ 9.3 million and today S.A confirmed it Legitimacy cool grin. Nigeria! i hail thee.

What money laundering are you talking about? You think the American government who sing the gospel of money laundering doesn’t engage in coverts operations of money smuggling through the CIA? You think Companies like Chevron, Halliburton, KFC, MTN, TOTAL etc don't engage in money laundering?
You think British companies don't engage in money laundering?
Your country is under ATTACK and you're here shouting money laundering. To hell with money laundering.

LOL, hear Nigerians supporting illegality,
Must you launder money to fight terrorism.
You don't ship money into another Mans country and expect them to look away.

Whatever Diplomatic means have been used to settle this diplomatic brouhaha...I must commend it. I also wish to state that it's unwise to jump into unnecessary conclusion esp when one is not privy with the full facts(even though its sometimes hard to get this from govt agencies). Thirdly, govt should do much to have the confidence of Nigerian in terms of tackling CORRUPTION as it is rather than always label it something else.

Lastly, we shouldn't always dabble into foreign or diplomatic politics, when we don't know what's involved. With all due respect to the US and their citizens; American govt and others do flout international law/other sovereign laws and DIPLOMACY is always the solution...and their citizens do back them;from tapping of citizen's and foreign official phone lines by the US to destabilizing of another country's structures by russia. See, they are uncountable.

I know our govt aint doing enough to garner our support in these circumstances and also, ethnicity/religious divides also attributing to lack of support to the govt in power. But, the fact is, they still need our prayers and supports. Anyway, its an individual decisions!

God Bless my fatherland!!!

The news article that the OP or is it daily post is referring to can be found here:
http://www.citypress.co.za/politics/another-sa-nigerian-arms-deal-bust/

It doesn't in any way exonerate the FG from stupidity. Instead, it ridicules the FGNs proclivity to making dumb cross border financial transactions.

If the government wanted so badly to 'illegally' buy weapons without the global watchdogs catching them, they should have been sensible enough to use someone without diplomatic immunity that will not be searched e.g the SA ambassador.

In fact, our ambassadors to some countries such as SA should be professionally trained spies not ordinary politicians


.....whish you guys goodluck

Propaganda cum propagandum. Monies have changed hand. After almost a month? How long does it take to verify the legitimacy or otherwise of a transaction? How can a legitimate deal be made by flying cash around undocumented without the presence of senior officials from the office of the National Security Adviser nor Ministry of Defense nor any of the Service Chiefs. What kind of a deal that will contravene the laws of Money laundering and the CBN cashless policy.. What kind of a "legitimate" deal that will use a private jet belonging to a "Pastor" and Jonathan's ally, ex Armed robber(lols) and controversial figure rather than one of the over 12Presidential Jet? Very funny

It doesn't add up at all. This Jonathanians are not smart at all.



This is the height of it. It is not wrong to admit that you are wrong for once. This is pure hatred not just for the president but for Nigeria. I doubt if you have happiness in your life for once. Stop thinking about GEJ for once, think about how it has redeemed our name as a nation to the South Africans who were insulting us. Even if money changed hands, atleast some one accepted the money, which means thesame SA govt you praised is also corrupt. How many SA citizens are accusing their govt of taking money. You don't know the intricacies in politics and war. Don't forget many SA citizens died from the synagogue building collapse and we also overtook them as the biggest economy in africa, I always knew there was something behind the seizure. If you are a representative of APC then we are in trouble if APC ever rules us.

Rather, what has "not added up" is your unabated disenchantment with and disbelief in explanations or statements emanating from govt circle. The nation has been told of the secretive but legal nature of the cash-for-arms transaction and I think they should be given benefit of the doubt. There's nothing fishy if the govt in their wisdom decides to use private plane to convey officials and currency for foreign transactions if that's the best option to effect its smooth sail. As earlier told, this is not the first time such secrete arms purchase has been done and it won't be the last. For instance, we have seen Nigerian police using civilian commercial vehicles to effect arrest of notorious armed robbers in Lagos. If such action turns awry, should the authority be castigated for not using regular police vans? You might say that's a local inference, but using Orishajefor's chartered plane was not an anomaly but a clear strategy to avoid enemies' attention. That's my opinion, I may be wrong though.

FYI, the so called money Laundering Act enacted as a means to fight global terrorism worldwide is a fallacy. What the Law actually means is that every transaction intended for good purposes, like humanitarian services, care for the needy by well meaning groups and individuals especially during hard times be wired through networks where it can be monitored, tract and stopped if the need arises. It's NEVER about Terrorism. It's part of the cashless policy initiative, to tract individuals and every transaction. Very soon you will not be allowed to hold a single naira note to buy stuff in the market. You will be tract and there will be no hidden place for you.
I know it's a bit handful for you to fully digest. But those who are fully informed about international lies know what am talking about.

Don't be surprised friend. Most Nigerians don't have the ability to conceded defeat even when it's beyond proportion. Instead of throwing up bribery as the reason for the latest recants from SA, silence should have been a better option. Blind criticism and spurious insinuations aren't good for liberal minds.

Oh my GOD.

I have ben wondering about so many issues concerning this siezed 9.7m usd and i cant shake off these questions.

1.Could it be that the federal government actually purchased that jet for the CAN president because i dont see where he can get money to buy such considering his financial prowess.

2.Could it be that the fed government have been using this clergy jet to smuggle out our money ofcourse with a ready document to back the act incase they are found out?

3,Could it be that pres Zuma of south Africa have had a secret pally with Jonathan to save the fed government of Nigeria this big shame hence bringing out he new story for the gods?

*Just wondering*
4. Could it be that you'r the greatest mumu on planet earth?
