Did GEJ give Chibok parents N100million? There's new controversy

A new controversy is brewing in Chibok village, with parents of the abducted girls alleging that they have been shortchanged by Chibok community leaders who received N100million cash gift from the Presidency, on their behalf.

Channels TV reports
Although a presidential aide denied any such gift to Chibok parents, through their leaders, one parent, Mr Abdu Halidu, told the BBC that he got only N200, 000 from the money.
Now the parents of the missing girls are saying that the amount shared to them is unacceptable. According to Mr Halidu “I got only N200, 000 out of the said N100 million. Some of us got N300,000 and some less than that. Our leaders in Abuja are using the girls to enrich themselves and this is unacceptable.” Continue...
Over 200 schoolgirls were abducted by gunmen who stormed the Government Secondary School in Chibok, Borno State, North-East Nigeria in the dead of the night of April 15, ordering all the girls out of their hostels into four lorries.

On July 22, a special presidential meeting was held with the parents of the Chibok girls in the Presidential Villa which afforded the Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan, the opportunity to empathize with the girls and their parents.

The President, after assuring the Chibok community of his Government’s determination to ensure that the abducted schoolgirls that are still in captivity are brought out alive, reassured them that everything would be done to make things easier for them especially the ones that have already escaped and the ones yet to be rescued.

President Jonathan also assured them that their education would not be allowed to suffer. The statement released by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr Reuben Abati, after the meeting made no mention of a cash gift to the parents.

Community Leaders Deny
Meanwhile, the leadership of Kibaku community an umbrella body for the Chibok community has denied claims that money exchanged hands after the community’s meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan.

National Publicity Secretary of  the community,  Mr Allen Manase, said that they also heard from the media that monies were given to the families of the abducted girls and such a story cannot be confirmed because they do not have any knowledge of the said exchange.

He went on to say that even if monies were to exchange hands it should have been given to the leadership of the community to ensure that it gets to all affected persons.

He urged the Federal Government to instead concentrate on rescuing the girls and returning them to their families and then it can decide to help in rehabilitating them

This Jona sef. So this is why he wanted to meet with a small group of the parents? To compromise them? Instead of looking for how to rescue these girls after over 3 mths, he is giving them money. For what? So they can forget about their daughters or what? Smh. Idiat!

Do you guys think at all? Please what does he stand to gain by bribing the parents? So they will stop looking for their daughters or what? No real parent will take money in exchange for the freedom of a child. What kind of useless propaganda is this !

IS GEJ TRYING TO PAY FOR THE LIFE OF DIS GIRLS? AND THE SHAMELESS PARENTS EVEN FIGHTING OVER MONEY. IT CAN ONLY HAPPEN IN NAIJA.

dhobiz said...

It's either Jona don't want anyone to know he gave out money or an opposition gave out the money in Jona's name either way Nigerians are always looking for opportunity to enrich themselves even in the most unfortunate situation......sad thing

Unknown said...

Let me assume that this is a mere speculation, and dat dis can neva happen, buh if it true, dat means the lives of those gals have been payed for and d parents collected their share..if this is true, SHAME on our government

Bonita Bislam said...

Erxactly.but if its true,does that mean GEJ will keep bribing his way till 2015? Cameroon rescued those kidnapped by BH,but ours gave out money(assuming its true)zmwhich is berra biko?

All this reeks of a smear campaign and they are using the BBC, Sahara and the naïve chibok parents as tools! This is some bull!

I wish that the president gave the so called missing girls parents and community money, and I believe that through the sharing of the money, the truth about the so called chibok missing girls will be exposed. Still waiting to hear the truth about the chibok missing girls story..

Plz try another storyline cuz this is not so impresive enough to impeach the presidency or better still really investigate who actually conspired and paid those parents.

My guess is that they are ndi akpiri ego; maybe they've finished the one they were paid to allege the kidnap.
Sad, but highly probable.

Why pay the parents in the first place? Shame on everyone of em that collected and shared the money.

even if he gave out money, wat's the big deal. as long as he brings back the girls, every one wins. Nigerians and dirty minds that say "you are given money therefore its a bribe"...nawa oh! the parents are suffering,some have dead cause they don't have to pay for medical bills, depression has caused e.t.c. Please any how the government can help to ease(cause it can't be erased) their pain is okay by me.
