SaharaReports reported it four days ago (Read it HERE) that the money spent on the festival was from The Bayelsa State Poverty Alleviation fund. Hmmmm. Well, now the report has gone international. UK Daily Mail quoted Sahara Reporters in their report.
Documents above from SaharaReporters
The Nigerian president spent $1million of aid money to entice international popstars such as Beyonce and Jay-Z to perform at a music festival in the poverty-stricken country, a media source reported.
A letter stamped and signed by Bayelsa State officials in 2006 revealed that President Goodluck Jonathan, then the Governor of the state, released 150million Nigerian Nairas from the state’s poverty alleviation fund for the inaugural ThisDay Music Festival in the city of Lagos in 2006, according to SaharaReporters.
The document surfaced after reality TV star Kim Kardashian was reportedly paid $500,000 (£329,695) for a fleeting appearance in Lagos last week, angering Nigerian commentators.
The Nigerian president spent $1million of aid money to entice international popstars such as Beyonce and Jay-Z to perform at a music festival in the poverty-stricken country, a media source reported.
A letter stamped and signed by Bayelsa State officials in 2006 revealed that President Goodluck Jonathan, then the Governor of the state, released 150million Nigerian Nairas from the state’s poverty alleviation fund for the inaugural ThisDay Music Festival in the city of Lagos in 2006, according to SaharaReporters.
The document surfaced after reality TV star Kim Kardashian was reportedly paid $500,000 (£329,695) for a fleeting appearance in Lagos last week, angering Nigerian commentators.
The authenticity of the letter has not been confirmed. It is not known whether the funds allegedly released by the government were paid to festival performers directly and if so, how much the performers received.
One source told SaharaReporters: ‘Mr Obaigbena often lines up financial bonanzas from numerous governors, ministers and other top government officials to finance his jamborees.’
At the bottom of the letter, a handwritten note allegedly signed by aides of then Governor Jonathan and the state’s accountant general says: ‘Release N150,000,000.00 (One hundred and fifty million naira) only to be drawn from the poverty alleviation subhead.’
The letter reads: ‘The music festival will bring the world’s top music icons to Nigeria and showcase the great news coming out of Nigeria.
‘Already several top music icons have signed on or are signing on.
‘They’ll tell the world through music that Nigeria’s time has come.’
The publisher added: ‘We invite you to partner with us as co-hosts of the festival.
‘With a total budget of $10 million, the co-host is expected to contribute a minimum of $2.5 million.’
There was also no indication that Beyonce and Jay Z were aware that their appearance was subsidised by the Nigerian state’s poverty alleviation fund, it was reported.
Missy Elliott, Busta Rhymes, Snoop Dogg and Ciara were also among performers at the 2006 festival.
Mr Obaigbena’s parent company Leaders & Company have produced other major events in Nigeria which have seen other American stars such as Usher, Rihanna and R Kelly perform since 2006.
ThisDay Festival has also hosted former American President Bill Clinton and Lawrence Summers, the former economic adviser for the Obama office.
Tickets prices have often been too expensive for the average Nigerian with some costing tens of thousands of Nigerian Naira.

DeleteJay Z and Beyonce are quite greedy. Both worth a combined total of about $800m but didn't have enough dignity to refuse $1m.
ReplyDeleteJonathan is an imbecile. This is why this continent is poor
Ahn ahn, did you drop your brain before or after reading the blog post? It did not say that they were PAID $1m rather, $1m was withdrawn from the poverty alleviation funds to serve as the govt quota in bringing the stars, as you can see, the budget was $10m. And even if the pay was $1m and cos they knew of the country's situation, they shld turn down their pay abi? Ode, shey you can work without getting paid? Or did they tell you it was a charity function. Mtchew!!!
DeleteLinda go and sleep jo if they give u political appointment now won't u take abegi this was how abati used to castiage the goverment until he was silenced am not saying it is good o but what happens nxt
ReplyDeleteSee that guy checking out Beyonce's boobs in the 2nd pic. ROFL.

LMFAOOOO. The Nigerian government is useless. Always have been. This is not shocking, not in the least.
ReplyDeleteOk na.I hope Dame Patience knows about this o #No party can beat us# #PDP# #2015#
ReplyDeleteWtf did I just read? Jonathan should get his act together. Why does he behave in such a manner? This is bullshit, spending the masses money on two stars who doesn't give a fuck about Nigeria? Why are black people so culpable and daft? They just act like they keep their brains in their asses. He should give us a detailed explanation on what really occurred.
ReplyDeleteFrom all indications & based on your comments on posts on this blog lately, it's very obvious that you're looking for CHEAP popularity on LIB. I'm sure u're quite aware that LIBers take note of 'bad-mouthers,' therefore, u've employed that technique just to gain popularity here. But guess what? You're only making a fool of ur useless self, & people cannot & will NEVER think of u as one of LIB 'major stars'. Borrow a clue from Prince Charming, Bonario & co, I'm sure they can teach you how they became popular on LIB without 'bad-mouthing.'
DeleteAngela, bitch are you an idiot? I didn't wanna reply that shit you typed until I saw 'major stars' wtf? Popularity on a blog? Bitch fuck off!! Your mates are winning Oscars you're here chatting bollocks!
DeleteI'm sure you live a miserable life down there in the slums of Nigeria. Asshole.
I pity ur life, 'jobless.' U're obviously a miserable being whom nothing good can come out of. Get a life dude!
Deletepls while we are at it, lets remember he wasnt the president of nigeria at the time, he was only a governor...
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't justify his action. He was a leader entrusted with funds 4lifting people out of poverty. Do you know how many nigerians could have been educated with it? Well Nigeria problem isn't also with govt. Same as some churches who collect special offerings and services from members for the building of universities and yet most members can't afford the fees.

ReplyDeleteGreat Insight once more into the evil going on in Nigeria. but once more, who will bear the brunt of this revelation? It is going to come, people murmur and complain about it and then greater evils are further committed. Nigeria scares me sometimes! yes, I know we will get better but at what pace? I recently moved home to establish my business but to be honest with every passing day, I consider relocating back to the UK where "things work"! And I can live a normal, peaceful probably not extravagant life!
ReplyDeleteJust can't get over the pic of nduka staring down beyonce's shirt. Hilarious. Truth be told, govt officials always sponsor these international acts, such was the case with kim k, thanks to Abuja connections by mrs alade.
ReplyDeleteI hate this kind of reporting. First off, Jay-Z and Beyonce were not the only artistes that came for the ThisDay Music Festival that year. Secondly, people are trying to make it look like the artists that came specifically asked for money from the Poverty Alleviation Fund. This is neither Jay-Z's nor Beyonce's fault. This is the fault of our stupid leaders. Let's not make this a hate campaign against Jay-Z and Beyonce, because it that happens, we are all going to miss the main issue here, which is that we have irresponsible leaders.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't rain in Nigeria it pours.
ReplyDeleteA close interrogation would reveal that part of that money was syphoned but be that as it may, dede Jona and his rotweilers in d person of Abati and Okupe must begin to dance or learn to dance to this new rhythm. Chukwuma is out.
Linda all this government official are all Bastard. Spending our money any how God will punish them. Am crying right now because I can afford to pay my school fees. And u see them messing about with our money. Their generation will pay. I know I will make it. I will never lost my pride because I need to go to school. But all u government do what is right by us most of us are in pain over what u doing with our money.
ReplyDeletedat na him way na. president Jonathan do things at the expense of d people just to make him look good to the international community. immagine him PAYING MONEY to CNN to tell the whole world dat nigerians now enjoy constant power supply.( beliving say we no go get light to watch am). Big liar... n a joke for president.
ReplyDeletelad.....
Hahahahahahah

ReplyDeleteDo Nigerians want to turn this country to north Korea? Very soon international artists will refuse coming to naija anytime invited and we will be left with terry G and Timaya to perform in entertainment shows.If the money wasn't paid to them, it will certainly end up in another politicians pocket so who are we kidding?

ReplyDeletei really wonder if this government want Nigeria to progress. is there ever à concert to raise money for charity or for a good cause? I live in the uk and myself and a few other nigérians here are doing the little that wé can to help and give back to Nigeria by building a charity that supports the poor www.pathtopossibilities.co.uk and it seems the people in charge of the country are doing the opposite. all these numb nuts giving so much money to thèse celebs for pure entertianment pissed me off. Itsjust à BIG shame
ReplyDeleteOne phrase just says it all- MISPLACED PRIORITIES!! Smh @Nigeria!
ReplyDeleteRemember he said he doesn't give a DAMN.So I am not surprised.Peeps whatever you do, next election shun pdp
ReplyDeleteWhat is sad is that NEPA would not even have allowed the poor people watch the event from their small grainy tvs. Life is a bitch in Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteA beg why is the man on the right looking down her blouse.......
ReplyDeleteDisappointed in daily mail quoting Sahara reporters when everybody knows the stupid Sahara reporters is a political weapon. People be wise and filter what you read. Linda pls dnt join Sahara in spreading baseless stories. I read your blog cos you are different. Don't change this.

ReplyDeleteHaba. This man no get shame o. Sleeping with other men' wives because u get money. So pathetic. No respect for the institution called marriage. Anyway I don't blame these men, I blame the married women for giving up their pussies so easily because of money.
I can never be sorry to say dt GEJ is a disgrace to dis generation.u'll surely die like abacha. Stupid man with a senseless wife,dt is wot u get when u av a mumu as a wife, nonsense.imagine poor pple's money.God will judge u bonfu,big head GEJ. Mtcheewwwww.
ReplyDeletePple should think of what to say before posting jibrish here. For crying out loud Beyounce and Jay Z presence after perfornming to a huge crowd on stage 1m dollars, slot kim 500 dollars without even hosting the show as we were expecting.So dnt even compare the two.in as much as I dnt support the waste of public funds on the count of 1 to 10 with 10 being the worst gulping out 500k dollars for kim will stay at 10.Tommorow if Fashola becomes the president trust me sahara reporters will be paid to tell a story abt aw he gave kim 500k dollars to discredit him. So please Nigerians dnt be fooled.

ReplyDeleteWell What he did was wrong. Taking money from the poverty alleviation funds. But the artist made sense. They performed. At least for what the money was worth. Kim Kadarshian is no celebrity as far as am concerned. She had no addition to the show. No dance or singing performance. She just spoke for a few seconds and got $500k for that???? hmmm

It's well. Suffice me to say some of us just want to comment without thinking? How can we rain curses on our country and expect something different? What patriotism is in that Nigerian sojourner in USA, now so praising US and raining damnation on Nigeria?
ReplyDeleteI will say to him he's a gold digger and a coward. Such people will stay with you when all is well and will backbite against you when challenges come.
This is SAD... :(
ReplyDeleteI really don't care how much he gave but where he got it from. "Poverty alleviation"... See how people heap curses on their heads.
And because its nigeria, no action would be taken against him...
I weep for this country! Smh...

ReplyDeleteTYPICAL OF OUR GOVERMENT. SQUADERING OUR ASSET AND RESOURCES. GOD WILL PUNISH THEM
ReplyDeleteWhy should she get a life when she has one? Awon oloriburuku ole abara papa! Linda did not write the story. Thunder fire all the supporters of office and political robbers in Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteBad product is an example of bad company. Daft President is a product of dumb citizens.
ReplyDeleteBayelsa State Government co-sponsored the event not Jonathan! How is it now a bad thing to sponsor an event in Nigeria? Do the Governor then know that the sponsorship will be to bring Jay-Z and Beyonce to Nigeria? Rumor mongers should leave Mr. President alone and face Civil Servants that have crippled and embezzled our commonwealth.
ReplyDelete.................At least he succeeded in alleviating nduka obaigbena' s poverty. Is that not what the fund is meant for?
ReplyDeleteWhat is this country turning into when the president would neglect the poor and fix all what they have and give it back τ̲̅ȍ the rich? This is really robin hood in reverse, I don't even think I would vote for him come 2015, refinery we don't have and we have fuel well all of use will say what we did on earth one by one

ReplyDeleteonly inside naija wen dem dey vex for d measly things instead of the billions dem they siphon....dem even use the money throw party,at least people enjoy the concert...what of the billions d country get? nobody dey talk of dat one...man still 100mil in naija we say sharp guy, anoda guy steal 50k we beat am die.who worse pass
ReplyDeleteNo 500 000 is not a reasonable amount for Kim K if they agreed she would co-host the show. She did not co-host, so she is in breach of contract and that is called swindling people out of their money. But I guess NIgerians are ok with that seeing as illegality is the norm here. Those who attended the concert paid for tickets thinking Kim K would co-host, they deserve value for their money. As for the president taking money from poverty alleviation fund, I highly doubt Beyonce and Jay-Z knew where the money was coming from: believe it or not in other countries ppl are punished for wrong-doings. Beyonce and Jay-Z would not do such a thing and the american public would not be in uproar. Check out this blogpost, it talks about all this: http://gidiladyrantsalot.wordpress.com/2013/02/25/a-ranting-we-will-go-what-this-lady-ranter-has-to-say-about-kim-k-dareys-concert-and-mostly-the-need-for-more-ranting/
