  • According To Sahara Reporters, That Central Bank Job You Should Have Gotten Is Going To Those That ‘Have Mouth’

    According To Sahara Reporters, That Central Bank Job You Should Have Gotten Is Going To Those That ‘Have Mouth’
    Some Nigerians believe that there are no jobs, some believe there are jobs, if you know where to look. But it’s come to light that there are plenty of jobs, but it’s being snatched up by people with “connections”.
    Of course there’s the getting of jobs through networking, which is legit. But there are those that aren’t qualified, who still get important jobs because their parents or relatives or family friends are in power. Like the current situation that has come to light.

    Sahara Reporters broke the news of Nigerians who were offered important positions at the Central Bank Of Nigeria (CBN).

    The news site published a list of young people who have influential background and were recently offered appointments by CBN in a covert hiring process.

    More than 200 people are said to be on this list!

    We know this happens, but this one is on a really large scale. SaharaReporters claims CBN appointed these relatives of various government officials without following due process.

    Wow! Just wow!

    That many people?! Nawa for Nigeria.

    And we thought the Nigerian government couldn’t surprise us anymore.

    This is disappointing, even though it’s not surprising.

    This is the second scandal to happen since Godwin Emefiele became the governor of Central Bank.

    Before this, CBN was scammed to the tune of 190,000 dollars.

    The reactions of Nigerians were varied.

    Some made jokes, as Nigerians like to do in these kind of situations.

    To some, it’s not only CBN that does this. They just got caught at it.

    Some see It as democratic freedom.

    Some believe that no Nigerian is innocent. They just do theirs on a smaller scale.

    Others believe that the CBN needs to be cleaned up.

  • Sahara Reporters Came For Senator Akpabio But He Was Ready For Them

    Sahara Reporters Came For Senator Akpabio But He Was Ready For Them

    Sahara Reporters, one of the most controversial Nigerian online news publications is sassy and quick at dropping receipts.

    They come for political figures mercilessly with their brutal headlines and articles.

    While some Nigerians have called for their heads..

    https://twitter.com/BennyCapricorn/status/706449939589685249

    They recently threw a jab at former Governor of Akwa Ibom state and current Senate minority leader, Godswill Akpabio.

    The tweet claimed the senator was linked to the ownership of the collapsed Lagos Lekki Gardens which resulted in the loss of 31 Nigerian lives.

    Because it’s clapback season, the senator sharply came back for them…

    https://twitter.com/SenAkpabio/status/709702023629959168

    Followed by massive,

    https://twitter.com/SenAkpabio/status/709823919881121798

    Relentless,

    https://twitter.com/SenAkpabio/status/709827083288109060

    Throwing of shade…

    https://twitter.com/SenAkpabio/status/709831170129829888

    With a dash of curses.

    @SaharaReporters As long as God is on the throne, you will be disgraced in this nation. God will expose you in the end.

    — Sen Godswill Akpabio (@SenAkpabio) March 15, 2016

    But why is the senator bringing God into this matter?

    @SenAkpabio @SaharaReporters please stop disturbing God.

    — Omo Jesu (@tosinadeda) March 15, 2016

    If it were God of the old testaments…

    Because….

    If I didn’t serve in Uyo, I would have believed Akpabio is an angel. All that allocation for a small state, dude is a fraud.

    — Funmi ♂ (@Seyi__) March 10, 2016

    If his hands are really clean, he should kuku sue them for defamation of character.

  • The Drama Between Sahara Reporters and Nigerian Senator Dino Melaye Is Beyond Entertaining!

    The Drama Between Sahara Reporters and Nigerian Senator Dino Melaye Is Beyond Entertaining!
    There’s a saying that goes,  “Those that live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.” This proverb perfectly explains Senator Dino Melaye’s current situation. The Senator, who represents Kogi West Senatorial District, is one of the proponents for the adoption of the Social Media Bill.

    His focus is on Sahara Reporters, a website known for its guerrilla-styled news reporting, insisting that they are blackmailing the senate.

    <!– // (function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = “//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3”; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, ‘script’, ‘facebook-jssdk’)); // ]]>
    The Dino Melaye Madness VIDEO: Frustrated pro Corruption Campaigner @dino_melaye calls on US Government to ban @SaharaReporters
    Posted by Oluwakayode Olumide Ogundamisi on Friday, December 4, 2015

    A day later, he was under flack from Sahara Reporters. In a series of tweets, they alleged that he had an illegal bank account in the United States.

    They also tweeted evidence to that effect.

    https://twitter.com/SaharaReporters/status/673471227734937601

    The fracas between the two parties is a complete 180 degree turn from when Senator Dino was an anti-corruption lobbyist who stoutly supported Sahara Reporters in their quest to ensure that the Nigerian public know the truth.

    With Sahara Reporters founder, Omoyele Sowore.

    Senator Dino also replied the allegations.

    Nigerians have these to say about the matter.

    https://twitter.com/chybObd/status/673498262574391296

    Hon @dino_melaye, by the virtue (or lack thereof) of this tweet, I’m disappointed you’re a senator of my country.

    — ♜’Seyifunmi♜ (@Im_a_MARVEL) December 6, 2015

    In the mean time, we’re still waiting for the outcome of the Social Media Bill.
