Isnt it ironic that the CBN Governors Cup (not IBB cup, but hosted at IBB Golf course) has been running since Soludo's tenure, but now it suddenly seems right to stick it on Sanusi.

These journalists are really scraping the bottom of the barrell.

Na wa o!!

I remembered that the CBN had been sponsoring the Governors Golf Tournament for many years now, so i was as surprised as you when the tournament was branded with Sanusi, and even more surprised at the twists and spins to it.

Nigerian Press (newspapers) are really hitting below the belt in their war with Sanusi.

@naijaking

you see why we keep saying that people should mind the source of their news? Look at the ridiculous link you posted. I was even afraid to clear on it for suspicion of viruses. It is people like you that will make nonsense of the FOI Bill when you begin to cook facts into fiction in such a manner.


@Ibime

you have done well! You just used little fact to defeat a quantum of lies. Heaven help us as we continue to help ourselves in this country.

CBN Governor's Golf Tournament all of a sudden became IBB Golf Tournament. Even the Fawehinmi boy can't simply respect the memory of his father?

Why do we expect so little from our leaders and public office holders?
Wouldn't it be worthwhile for Sanusi's (legacy) to say CBN would have nothing to do with such a corrupt leader. Does Sanusi not have colleagues and advisers, how come non of them foresaw this inconsistency?
Would Timothy Geithner allow his department to fund a " Treasury Cup" if it was hosted at nearby Bernard Madoff's football ground?

@naijaking

if you say Sanusi is your Messiah or your anti corruption crusader, please personalis these all to yourself. He never took up such offices so they're all in your mind. You character assassin!

Is it the man or the sport? You could have stripped all the cities of Nigeria of streets and stadia
named after IB B, OBJ or Abacha. Nigerians sha

@naijaking, we all know say your animousity towards sanusi na because him fascilitate de arrest your hero, cecilia ibru, wey help to ruin oceanic bank and wey dey on her way to prison.

Just because it was done before doesn't make it right or mean we must continue with 'rascality and recklessness'.
CBN has a monopoly in their sector, they do not need to be sponsoring a golf tournament?
How do CBN or Nigeria gain from such an enterprise?

There are clearly several more deserving causes across the country that CBN could channel this money, water projects and desert reclamation projects spring to mind.

So NaijaKing what do you have to say about the flurry of posts (especially the ones that floored you) that followed your initial post

So you expect Sanusi who had been there for just less than 5 months to cancel all past obligations of the central bank because you hate certain names. Why are you not using the same venom on Fashola for not renaming Third Mainland  Bridge, or the Governor of Kano for not renaming Sani Abacha stadium.

Seems that Mohammed chap is ill advised, u don't just jump to criticize at every opportunity u've got, u simply don't. It is quite apparent that their are many folks out there with a hammer in one hand and a nail in the other, all they are waiting for is a chance to nail some skin

Bros, you know talk this one when Prof Soludo was in charge na, especially with land erosion and security problems here and there

Or are you basically saying Soludo promoted 'rascality and recklesness'??

naijaking1,
i am disappointed in you.How can you stoop to such low levels?
This CBN tournament has been on for ages.
the course is only named after IBB, it is not as i he owns it.
I guess we can all stop driving on roads named after Abacha,IBB and OBJ?

For Mohammed Fawehenmi, i only have one word;Get a life young man.

Dis Guy:

Bros, I have said that Sanusi / Govt should investigate Soludo, since everybody now believes that Soludo didn't perform.

Of what value is this sponsorship to CBN?

@ Sapele guy,

Bros, you pass this levels na. CBN has been doin this for some time now and it is for the golf club.
If there was prior commitment, it cannot just be thrown away. Next time you go anytown, no pass
any street wey dem name after anyone wey you no like. A beg lef this one.

Mohammed Fawehenmi who has been trying to be relevant since his father died should be ASHAMED of himself.

He is obviously the one playing the ethnicity card in this whole matter why did he not bring up the issue during Soludo's time.

I hope and pray Nigeria newspapers take up this matter with Mohammed Fawehenmi.

This another example of poor journalism on the part of VANGUARD newspaper, it should have presented both sides.

Make I talk?

The argument that this event has been going on since the era of Soludo is not enough justification to continue this unfortunate waste of public fund. By the last time I checked, we' re under the impression that Soludo did things in a wrong way. So, anybody who's been looking up to Sanusi to be more prudent ought to be in order to question his continued support for this program given his numerous public mantra about accountability, probity, and sanitization of the system.
Has anybody asked the simple question: How much of our money is or has been used to promot IBB? You Sanusi apologists would be shocked when you find out the numbers.
I could have probably modified my introduction to this thread if I had known it's been one of those questionably corrupt practices of CBN, but that doesn't eliminate the need to question why our public fund has to be used to promote IBB when legitimate business people are being hounded and thrown in jail for loans they legally obtained from our banks.

What if there is a contract? Events like this usually have contracts that the CBN (or whatever company) will sponsor the event for a number of years.

naijaking has being on an attack sanusi campaign for a while.

Naijaking1, you really have an axe to grind with Sanusi. I do not understand how you relate the sponsoring of an event that had been going on for years with the removal, arrest and prosecution of certain MDs for corruption and unethical banking practices. I need someone to help me understand the link between the two.

Please MrCrackles use your regular font.

This is really sad. Do people just sit and wait for Sanusi to slip? and if he does not, make up funny and sometimes stupid stories like this? Do we even know whjat we want as Nigerians?

No, he's bound to steal the bank's money.

Sanusi is definitely not my messiah, though he has portrayed himself as such for a while now. You've got to be retarded to speak about character assasination without debunking the Vanguard story.

You ask for character assasination, I'll show you a CBN governor who's sworn to uphold the law of the land, yet everyday, he has countless lists of unsubstantiated allegations against innocent bank CEOs and bussiness people who cases are already before the court of law--- that character assasination, not repeating a story in a national daily.

Don't even worry, when all is said and done, the real essence of Sanusi, his followers, and his policies would be exposed. Meanwhile, if you think this is misinformation, go sue Vanguard, and let everything be ironed out.

Each tribe has a degrading name for others in Nigeria. Do you know what your Yoruba copatriots call hausa people like you?

Not to defend or bash Babangida, but let us all use our common sense for once.
1. CBN has been sponsoring such event for many years
2. CBN is an institution, Sanusi happens to be the sitting governor, but there are still many other supporting members that are directly involved in day to day CBN activities. In short, all the decisions of CBN are not made by Sanusi. Therefore, please stop making everything looks as if Sanusi is out to run CBN down to the ground.
3. IBB golf tournament does not belong to Babangida. It is a mere tournament named after Babangida. How stupid could one be?
4. If Banbangida is a criminal, please name one politician in Nigeria that isn't a criminal.

Enough of this Babangida shi t, I'm sick of it.
If Babangida has done anything wrong please go and prosecute him or else leave the dude alone. The shi t is getting too damn old.
Move on Nigeria!

This is what the newspaper article says:
It is regrettable that a man who should be occupied and concerned with salvaging the dwindling economic fortunes of Nigeria and the unstable financial system has the time to think, let alone collaborate with the IBB International Golf & Country Club to organize a golf tournament in honour of a self_styled military president whom so many conscientious Nigerians have condemned.

Even if you disagree with the truth of the article, then write a re-joinder. There's no need for people to come and change the whole subject.
Once again, the CBN does not need to pay for golf tournaments to honor IBB
