Kobojunkie:

Did  you bother reading the article at all? Nowhere in there are you told he had the text message on his person in Prison. Yet you came to that conclusion How? Because he said he had the text message saved on his phone and another phone?

He read the purported text message out: "Please reach-out to MEND and ask them to re-tract the statement and the government will blame the Northern elements."

NEXT asked if his phones were not seized by the South African authorities, and he responded that "I have saved the message on another phone. Shortly after I got the text message, Dopkesi (IBB's campaign manager) was arrested. I will not release the message now because if I do, the next thing they will say is that someone/IBB has paid him to do this. As they continue to sour my name the more, I will release the message."

TewMuch:

You have proven over and over again that you have a problem with reading and comprehension, i will help you out for the very last time since you refused to read my former response.

Kobojunkie:

Dude, that he read the PURPORTED text message out loud IN NO WAY IMPLIES he had his cell phone with him in Jail. He could have EASILY written the text message on a PIECE of paper or memorized it and READ IT back from memory to the interviewer . . . .

You are desperate to prove nothing here, aren't you? ROFLMAO!!

Faeb:

Two things. . .

1. Okah was arrested on Oct 2
2. Dokpesi was arrested on Oct 4

Now for the Okija magic. . .

Okah claims that immediately after receiving the text message from the govt official, Dokpesi was arrested!
How could he have received text messages and calls in JAIL?

Unu go wound pesin o!

Excellent response to her ridiculous posts. In the words of Crack Junkie [size=16pt]ROTFLMAO[/size]

Faeb have you ever been to any prison before? How can you be sure that his cellphone is not with him. I live in SA and i am telling you that big shots in prison are allowed to make phone calls from their cellphones . I once had a friend who was arrested for assault and he kept calling me with his cellphone to raise money for his bail. There are prison official who will turn a blind eye and allow you to use a cellphone in prison as long as you "SETTLE" them. Okah is a big shot here in SA. He is well known and well connected. I am sure he is with his cellphone and probably a flat screen TV in his cell. This kind of thing happens even in western countries like the USA. In prisons there gangsters who have pimped out cells with waterbeds ,LCD tv ,xbox console e,t,c and they even get laid whenever they want. Okah using a cellphone from prison is no big deal in SA. It is a normal thing ,it may not legally allowed but it happens. He did not commit any crime in SA so they won't be strict with him. Besides the guy is a multimillionaire here so he can pay his way out of prison.

TewMuch:

A high profile terrorist prisoner? Please think about this again. This thing has made the news and Okah will be under strict supervision because he is a flight risk. That is why he was denied bail. They will not let him near an exit, or leave him without guards watching him not to talk of a cell phone.

9ijaMan:

Show your prove that Okah is a terrorist. Even your beloved GEJ has not referred to Okah as a terrorist. Until GEJ and his clowns come out with credible evidence, Okah remains an innocent man.

Prisoners may make a phone call instead of a visit, and only  on weekends and public holidays. Group D prisoners may not make any phone calls; group A prisoners are allowed to make an extra twelve calls per year, in addition to those they might want to substitute for visits. Each phone call may last up to 10 minutes

Kindly explain what you understand by this.

Trust me tewmuch ,i know what i am saying.I just don't want to divulge too many details but trust me on one thing, detainees use cellphones in SA prisons.The guards in SA prisons are extremely corrupt. If you have any friend in SA or relative just call him to confirm. I am telling you what my friend saw with his own eyes. Let me tell you how SA prison works. There is a prison based Gang called the "the 26".They work with the prison guards, they are very deadly and they control everything that goes on in SA prisons. When you get arrested and get detained ,they will come to you and ask if you need anything especially if they know you are loaded. They sell drugs in the prison, they hire out cellphones ,they even organize you prostitues on Sunday nights. They are well connected in the prison community.

My guess is that Okah knows some of their leaders and immediately he was arrested he got in touch with them so that they can make his time in prison comfortable. I am telling you for a fact that in SA prisons ,there are gang leaders who have full HDTVs ,cellphones ,fax machines ,laptops with wireless internet in their cells.Their are mafia bosses in prison who still run their mafia business from inside the prison. You have to see it to believe it. Trust me Okah is not feared in SA ,he is not considered a dangerous man here because he dines with local politicians and he is HEAVILY connected. He is not a threat to SA so they don't care about him. Him using a cellphone is nothing in SA.

Anyone in SA will confirm what i am saying as being true.

Abagworo:

@ibime.be careful what you type especially if you are using a bb or personal registered modem.I got a warning call yesterday because of my comments on nairaland telling me my position.

babasoty:

If Okah was contacted, why is he finding it hard naming who contacted it, why all these rigmarole and calling news agencies from his cell, in all these I believe Okah knew about the bomb and played a role in it, finish ?, whether we are here castigating JEG mishandling it or Okah's 15 minutes of fame is irrelevant, what's relevant is that lives were lost and those responsible should be brought to book.

9ijaMan:

TewMuch:

hmm, na wa oh. Seun better do something about protecting his posters. That is some bullshit. So sorry about that, everyone is free to air their views and opinions and we are free to disagree. Government should leave people alone. What ever happened to transparency? Seun better do something about that. Otherwise, people will leave this site.

Rather than trying to downplay events that have conspired, I think you should spend your time demanding you be told the truth by your Government . . it is the only institution that actually OWES you an explanation here, not Okah.

babasoty:

@kobojunkie
Has Okah told you the truth, an  claims he has the key that might help douse the tension and let us know where to point accusing fingers and all he does is read off a text message from God knows where and decides not to say who contacted him and your talking of truth, is that a semblance of truth to you.

Again, Okah, as claimed by the interviews, has told us what he considers his side of the story. We cannot sit here, with the little we know of this, to claim HE LIED OR HE DID NOT. What we know is what we have been told of the interviews and what we have heard of his side of the story so far.

He owes us nothing and so has no need to douse tension. He has a right to deny you the name as he is stated as continuing to do. His exercising his right in no way disproves the claims supposedly made by him so far. /quote]

its okay for you to believe Okah's own side of the story but not that of the government right ?, if we can't sit here and claim he lied or didn't why are you trying to justify his side of the story, He owes me nothing but he owes himself and the relatives of those who were killed the right to know who contacted him and then we'd know who owes us the right for an explanation of that call to Okah.

Kobojunkie:

Correction ---> I DO HAVE TO BELIEVE Okah's statement; I don't have to because there is no reason here to BELIEVE OR NOT BELIEVE . . . If you know me well, you will know that when it comes to issues, especially pertaining to Nigeria, I HATE TAKING SIDES . . . I find it is one of the biggest mistakes we make as a people and a nation.

The way the law works is simple. You have one side of the story and until you are able to disprove or prove the validity of that version, all you still have is that version to go with.

So far, what we have is Okah's version of what happened to work with. Not a single person, not even officer has come out to say "No, it did not happen that way" or  put forth a definite on what happened instead. All we have heard or been fed with from the other side are shoddy grounds on why Okah is probably(not DEFINITELY) wrong or Okah is likely guilty or Okah never said anything. Not even the president himself, even after his debacle with MEND over the week, has been quoted as saying Okah is guilty of charges or never made the interview.

Again, he owes you and I nothing at this time ; if you want to believe he is guilty, then maybe you would think he owes you and others answers or something. I am operating on the grounds that he is still innocent until proven guilty on this one because I have yet to read of the evidence proving he had a hand in this one.
