Reporter Bayo Akinloye was one of those at the Synagogue church when T.B Joshua offered N50k to journalists. He says Nicholas wasn't the only journalist who refused the money and says Nicholas maligning his colleagues is sad, evil and unprofessional. See more tweets after the cut...

DeleteKingdom shall stand against kingdom. Kill yourselves...idiots. Now, bottle of water is also bribe right? I have seen a man who gave guests at his father's burial 50k each to fuel their cars while returning home. Poverty is a disease, it can block the brains. @amfestus
ReplyDeleteAnon 10:25pm you're the one with blocked brain. He never said bottled water was a bribe, he just epxlained that he didn't even take the bottled water that was offered, talk less of taking bribe. People like you who try to twist things and obscure obvious things are the ones destroying this country alongside your corrupt leaders. Giving people money for attending your father's burial is different from giving people money to only report one aspect of actual events to cover up loss of lives, to distort the number of dead people and to ignore the real issue, which is; why the building was erected without the care and safety of people in mind and distracting people's attention away from that.
DeleteGod bless you for that.
DeleteI swear down.. he didn't accept the bottle of water because he was scared of bin hypnotised.. buhahhahahahaaah
DeleteIf u r not a fool u poverty striken imbecile, is it during a period of chaos wen people r dying dat u give money for fuel ODE!!

You were silent on the incident prior to that time. Now someone has exposed it, you suddenly come out to say you were there but didn't collect. I was there! I collected, and so did you. Of course you know me. Quit seeking popularity premised on falsehood i beg you, we're all in this game together. Nicholas you lucky say you nor call anybody name.

ReplyDeleteHe's bosses at punch asked 4 their share he said he didn't collect now this....
I hv 1 question for u oga Bayo did they- TB joshua give out brown envelopes??????
Or d money covered ur eyes
This Bayo guy should take several seats please.
ReplyDeleteWhy the insult? Is it that Nicholas specified that he was the only one who didn't collect or did he mention this guy's name? Anyway, it is enough to feel bad if you are innocent. But this message seems to say DO NOT TALK ABOUT THE BRIBE WHEN IT INVOLVES YOUR COLLEAGUES! E dey pain sha but how Nigeria go take better when you want make Nicholas keep mum over the matter like you? Because you nor talk, make Nicholas nor talk too?, dat na another type of self righteousness too.
ReplyDeleteGod have mercy.
ReplyDeleteOga Bayo u know if u see sin & dont report it, it is sin kwa. So they gave brown paper u saw & didn't talk.
ReplyDeleteCongrats.
U be god or goddess? Abi y u wan make Bayo report to u? That left to God to judge. It is a sanctuary sin if it really happened. I think that could be d reason our ogas at top are slow to take action too. Na wise move, cuz u no wan offend God in d process.
DeleteAccomplice to the crime, why are you disturbing the peace?
ReplyDeleteBayo pls channel ur energy in d right direction focus on TBJoshua and leave apology matter. Abi punch wants to fire ur ass
ReplyDeleteSee senseless men rejecting free money
ReplyDeleteU make me wink n lol.
DeleteOf course in this contemporary time,it is unprofessional when you say the truth because the world is full of lies and deceits from make up to make over and other life aspects but if you feel you are uncorrupted, good,settle that with your conscience, you do not have to respond always. Why the bother saintly journalist(s)
ReplyDeleteImagine this one......now that matter involves journalists he calls it maligning and an unprofessional act. Abeg make una tell me which one be unprofessional, the spading or the collection of bride?
ReplyDeleteStory for the gods
ReplyDeleteMatter arising make we hear sontin for una wit dis 50k issue biko!!
ReplyDeleteSome wise words for a self glorifying man.smh
ReplyDeleteI think twitter is the "family's head house now!
ReplyDeleteIn the course of trying to be professional, nicholas has ended up being unprofessional by his wrong assumption that every other journalists at SCOAN was 'bribed' as he claim. A professional journalist will leave assumption out of his report. Besides there is no journalist that's free from sins of bribery. Even if you donot collect brown envelope from organisations, as long as ur organisations refuse to write(which is often the case) negative stories about the organisations that advertise with them and you receive ur salary from the proceeds of such advert, my brother Nicholas, u r not clean.
ReplyDeleteI know that even Linaikeji will never carry a negative story about her sponsors.
Anonymous 11:15pm
DeleteNah pple like una still keep naija for where dem dey. So if Linda's sponsors want to hurt her, she will keep quiet bcus dey re her sponsors. I guess it's cus of u dey wrote dat English, smiling and suffering. Don't b a mumu, always man up to defend ur self, no matter who is oppressing you
I have one question for you anon 11:15pm, when or where exactly did he say all the other journalists took bribe? Did we read the same write-up? Or you want him to start mentioning the names of those who ddnt collect it one by one? If they're so proud of not collecting bribe, why didn't they report the bribery first? Trust me, I do understand that in Nigeria, it's hard to stand up for what is right and if you do, you don't want to step on anyone's toes so they don't come after you and your family. That being said, if that is why other journalists who refused to take bribe ddnt report it; then fine. But they shouldn't come and attack the person who put his neck on the line either. Just say you too ddnt collect any bribe and leave it at that!
DeleteBayo akinloye, u are a coward for keeping quiet and yes there's no proof u didn't collect bribe, I'm sure ur wife must have yabbed u well well to do ds tweet
ReplyDeleteWat eva wit dis sh*t jhor
ReplyDeletePlease shut up and take a back seat.You seem to show little concern to the real issue at hand. You are after your own self adulation. You didn't take a bribe, simply state it instead of ranting like an attention seeking child.
ReplyDeleteBros live dat English. YOU COLLECT abi YOU NO COLLECT?
ReplyDeleteWere other journalists scared of TBJ from reporting this story or what were your reasons for concealing the truth?
ReplyDeleteI will still commend Nicholas Ibekwe for opening this can of worms in the first place. These belated responses/tweets only give credence to the fact that the so called prophet offered bribe(s)to journalists to write about survivors only. SCOAN and NEMA are not telling the truth about the casualty figures. I am sure that the number is much higher. These pastors/prophets are something else. God help us.

ReplyDeleteYou see, this is the problem with Nigeria. When someone comes out to fight the ills of the society, they attack him.
ReplyDeleteFor the journalist tweeting that he did not collect money from tb joshua, you are as guilty as those that collected, because you saw what was going on and kept quite. Your own sin may even be the worse because you have just attacked someone that had the courage to speak out. Who is even sure that you did not take the money. I guess this is a pathetic attempt to redeem yourself.
Any journalist that collects a brown envelope in the developed world, be it in the form of the so called 'honorarium' before writing a story will kiss goodbye to his or her career. Nigerian journalists should stop mortgaging their conscience. That's why there is no investigative reporter in the Nigerian press, not even a single one. They have all become so lazy and so reliant on the brown envelop. One rarely sees an article worth reading in our print media these days. Shame to you all so called journalists. You have all sold your conscience for mere brown envelopes.
Kudos again to you, Nicholas Ibekwe!

City:Unknown.
Thank God say I nor be journalist because I must defend brown envelope. Even if you know say e bad and your conscience judge you, you go still take am and as you take am, your story when you want to write before must change, no how. If na to cover detergent , bank award programme or conference, then dem give you envelope, no shaking. I know since say D.... State govt and V....... Sports writers dey enjoy themselves well well for that level because if you read their story you won't need to be told.
ReplyDeleteSo in the end no one is disputing that there was a bribe given? Uhn ok....*walks away*
ReplyDeleteAll those saying Nicholas acted saintly, the guy must have been fed up with journalists demanding for the brown envelopes before they are offered, and even offering subtle threats. They do it. If they want to write something bad about the organization you are heading and you don't offer them, they will give you a rundown of what they are going to write and you will not be told before you deliver.
ReplyDeleteStop nagging u ar jst guilty pls let go~ice princess~
ReplyDeleteSomeone has being pushed to save face by his paper, expect others to do the same soon! We know something like this happens, so it is no surprise! So let's stop all this and move on!
ReplyDeleteThis Punch guy should shut up. The moment l read The Punch after the collapse, l knew the writer had been settled.
ReplyDeleteThis is just d begining
ReplyDeleteI knew d guy wuld be embedded wit som negativives. He is getin d attention and reputation he so much craves, I hope
ReplyDeleteYou all should leave Nicholas Ibekwe the hell alone! I am happy he exposed you hungry journalists.
ReplyDeleteBayo, make I nor lie, I suspect you collected that 50k( because world people eye strong o) and as your voice nor come outside for the tape you feel say you need to clear your name because silence go mean say you take, that's why you dey curse the guy because wetin e do too pain you. After all no video evidence. Bayo, you took the 50k HONORARIUM.
ReplyDeleteI am a physiologist,emm other journalist didn't give Bayo his own share that's why he is clearing his name now.too late bro
ReplyDeleteMr Journalist silence means consent so you are guilty as charged let us see the report you filed in your office after you visit to hell, sorry visit to synagogue before we close your matter,
ReplyDeleteBut attacking him in public is unprofessional.
ReplyDeleteI don't even believe this guy. Nicholas has righteous anger in his favour, this guy is just jealous.
I bet reporters are now waiting to turn down brown envelopes so they too can have their moment in the spotlight, and for a short while honesty will actually pay in this country.

Another withness,ghen ghen.....hands crossed waiting.....
ReplyDeleteDo not be deceived, Mr Bayo did receive the brown envelope.This is nothing but boju boju.
ReplyDeleteJournalism and brown envelopes isn't a new thing, why spiling out venom wen u didn't collect d brown envelope or is it dat u guys are looking for attention
ReplyDeleteAye se gbogbo yin
ReplyDeleteShout up dia joor,u n ur lyks is da reason y Nigeria will Neva b gud.
ReplyDeletei read everything about this incident as reported by Nicholas.The guy is really courageous especially in today Nigeria.And others journalists especially the brown envelope guys and all who were chicken hearted not to tell us what happened should be ashamed and keep quiet instead of tweeting rubbish
ReplyDeletemy friend..sharrap...Y didn't u report u own first...U studied govt and u dunno DAT..the first reporter in the police station..has an upper hand...now...U re just trying to be popular also.heyya...plan failed shaa...▶OK..what is the moral lesson of u coming to report?

Well Nicholas there u ve it,ure not d only prophet! If TB had offered in millions who knws if u Wuld ve rejected. 50k no be money for ur level dats y u rejected it
ReplyDeleteAbeg wat exactly is d problem here! Bribe was offered and bribe was taken! Nicholas did not say all d journalist collected bribe,wat he was trying to say was dat,TB joshua offered bribe,,,and Bayo was able to confirm it from his tweet,so Wetin be d problem. My people let's be realistic ,our journalist re just corrupt. Thanks Nick keep it up. Bayo go sleep.
ReplyDeleteI always read Bonarios comment and he is always a gentle guy,but seems Bayo has provoke d guy today!Hahahahaha
ReplyDeleteNicolas u are a fool for thinking you are a saint even majority of pple on this blog saying you did the right thing aint saint...which of them will come out blodly dat in one way or the other they haven't collected brown envelop?or bribe or egunje or thank you money or whatever you may call it...oh yeah u did the right thing,i won't dispute that but for crying out loud u aint a saint I can say dat again and again.so how come u are just exposing TB joshua?all the ones wey u don dey collect before now nko?am not a fan of TB joshua but still u have a lot to still do and more pple to expose.start from the politicians to other organisations!u think u can do this?screw u for calling out on all journalist like that cos u definitely won't gain anytin except the attention u want.And it's saddening we dint hear abt the brown envelops before now even the dangote ish,why dint you bring it up?now sometin happens and u find a way to squeeze it in!with or without proove ofcaus we wld believe cos even pastor's collect honorarium wen they go to other churches to minister...ode mumu u re still announcing that ur family are safe?yimu
ReplyDeleteWho is this self righteous guy that is trying to save face??? Did Nicholas mention your name in any of his tweets? Abeg go and sit down with half Nyansh
ReplyDeleteGehn gehn gehn
ReplyDeleteThe much I have read regarding the tragic collapse of TB's high rise guest house goes to indicate that gross criminal negligence on the part of TB and his shrine (sorry, his church) is at the root of the building collapse and also of the level of casualty recorded following the incident....
ReplyDeleteI maintain that TB ought to have been docked to face criminal trial on a multi-count charge of criminal negligence, premeditated mass murder, conspiracy, among many others....
I respect journalist Nicholas Ibekwe for speaking up apparently on the side of the ideal, the dead and their grieving families...
But I denounce him for waxing self-righteous and flaying his colleagues just because, unlike him, their consciences did not dissuade them from collecting TB's cash gift.
I refuse to be swayed by Ibekwe's argument that the cash gift is a bribe willy nilly.
For one, hardly did the journalists solicit for the gift in order to obfuscate the truth or facts and pervert the course of justice, as it was freely given and delivered to them without any conditions attached to the largess or its use....
I guess the journalists were invited by TB for the briefing and thus he felt obligated to take care of their T-fare, although it may not be impossible that he chose to make the gift a quantum in order to subtly influence the reportage of the tragedy...
That however does not make the cash gift bribe's synonym...
Something tells me that Ibekwe is angry not so much at TB as with his colleague journalist's "conscience."
But a little study of philosophy would have taught Ibekwe that nothing could be more fickle as 'conscience' as it lacks objectivity in being...
Rendered in colloquial parlance: 'one man's meat is another man's poison.'
Ibekwe is only angry that his colleague journalists made cool 50K on the ashes of his own conscience....
Moreover I fear that Ibekwe is not exactly the idealist he is trying to project...
I mean that his object of idealism is not the engagement of the media to bring TB to account for his criminal negligence; on the contrary it is the issue of money, which his colleagues made at the expense of his conscience...
I could bet with my account balance that Ibekwe could have cared less about whether or not the reportage of the incident afforded TB a soft landing if only his colleagues did not become 50k richer than him....
He is just angry over the money...
He is talking like a loser who wanted his pound of flesh!!!!!
Ibekwe is bitter, and only using the tragedy to whip his colleagues silly....
Dude it's simple. Any money or material things given b4 a task, favour, issue is carried out is a BRIBE. Anyone give after the task, favour or issue is carried out is a GIFT.... stop ranting ok. Take for instance, if you are looking for a contract and you give out brown envelop, you are simply BRIBING to win the contract. Use ur brain not your head to think next time ok.
DeleteTrying to ride on Mr Ibekwe's coat tails to fame. Hush now.
ReplyDeleteIn order words all that this Nicholas said is the truth and nothing but the truth! Haters and complainers, na una sabi. why they no speak out that they did not collect the money until after it was blown open. sorry is Una name!
ReplyDeleteIf u didn't collect say so and get over it na today day break
ReplyDeleteBayo go hug wet transformer for oshodi bustop.you are a coward for not speaking up in the first instance since you didn't collect the money.nicholas please donkt mind him
ReplyDeleteAbeg TB still dey share d 50k?
ReplyDeleteAnd you waited until now to talk about TB joshua....I don't you..and all this crap you are spilling..sounds like a guilty man trying to cover up his mess...Next abeg!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd you waited until now to talk about TB joshua....I don't believe you..and all this crap you are spilling..sounds like a guilty man trying to cover up his mess...Next abeg!!!
ReplyDeleteIt a fact we know that TB Joshua is a generous man !
ReplyDelete99.9% of Nigeria would have taken the money;no point about the innocences !
Adebayor
After doing a stinct at a known newspaper firm during my IT training,it was common knowledge that journalists lag behind to collect brown envelopes! Motive behind this was quite simple,to write in favor of whoever was giving out the envelopes.Nothing new about this!
ReplyDeleteDiz one na #Gobe!!!
ReplyDeleteKudos to Nick for bringing to light the corruption in that sector. What a shame every sector has been compromised.
ReplyDeleteWHY DIDN'T BAYO SPEAK OUT EARLIER WHEN NICHOLAS EXPOSED THE MATTER? IF NICHOLAS DIDN'T HAVE ANY EVIDENCE TO BACK HIS CLAIMS, BAYO WOULD HAVE HIDDEN IN THE SHADOWS. OBVIOUSLY, BAYO ALSO PARTOOK IN THE BRIBE AND IS ONLY SPEAKING OUT TO SAVE HIS JOB.
ReplyDelete>>>>>>>>FLYING DUTCHMAN
In other words TB Joshua actually gave the bribe abi so end of story now you have helped Saint NICO to confirm the story thanks for opening ur wide mouth now sure u were sleeping since wen NICO was busy telling the world the truth. Nonsense

Even though he was seeking cheap popularity, at least he is popular nw, mission accomplished...People lost their lives and you expect it to be swept under the carpet? Nicholas you did well jare
ReplyDeleteThe man T.B Joshua has something to hide if not why is he bribing journalist and am very sure he has big skeleton in his cardboard
ReplyDeleteNo,Bayoakinloye also woka go.that is y he wz vabrating like bulldozer.who asked him weather he drank bottle water or not, na him ache be dat na,foolish reporters collected brown envilop,it is unethical of jounalism.
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS ABSOLUTE RUBBISH. A CLEAR CONSCIENCE FEARS NO ACCUSATION. NICHOLAS DID NOT MENTION ANY NAMES, WE ALL LISTENED TO THE VIDEO AND WE ALSO READ THE NEWS REPORTS AND NO ONE CRITICIZED TB JOSHUA. SO WHAT IS THIS PRETENDER AND OTHER CALLING FOR THE HEAD OF NICHOLAS.
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS A CASE OF THE WORLD TURNING UPSIDE DOWN. A WHISTLE BLOWER BECOMING THE VICTIM INSTEAD OF BEING HAILED A HERO. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU.
IT IS NO NEWS THAT WE ALL NIGERIANS ARE CORRUPT. WE POINT FINGERS AT POLITICIANS BUT THE SAME IS TRUE FOR THE MAN ON THE STREET, THE POLICE OFFICER, THE PASTOR, THE MARKET WOMAN, THE BUS DRIVER, WE EXPLOIT EVERY SITUATION TO ENRICH OURSELVES TO THE DETRIMENT OF OUR FELLOW COUNTRY MEN.
but really, Nicholas shouldn't be crucified for telling the truth. the truth hurts that's y the others are making noise. There are still some good journalists out there. Lets accept that.
ReplyDeleteclears throat..pls Bayo Akinloye where were u wen Nicholas made a public notice of the allerged offered bribe?biko nyem efe ranting like sick who askd u if u drank bottled water?dt tnk b4 u tweet shld b reffered to urself not nicholas..
ReplyDeletei truly don't know why the other journalists that took the bribe are making noise..You got busted! accept that, learn from it and move on..!
ReplyDeleteNigeria is facing so much problem already I think dis is the least thing dt ppl should focus dere attention on, it has happened.
ReplyDeletehmmmm typing....
ReplyDeleteDis bayo guy is a bigger coward! Nicholas wasn't only emphasising on d bribe, he was pissed about the recklessness of tb joshua celebrated by journalist and the govt. If only you had the courage to voice out too, now you hide under the shadow of another man's courage to seek attention! Abeg park well, you suld be ashamed of yourself, was ur name even mentioned der? Nonsense
ReplyDeleteBayo, you miss the bus! and you are late to the party.
ReplyDeleteBetter luck next time.
You guys blaming Bayo seem not to understand. If you're a journalist and your employers knew you were there when TB Joshua addressed the journalists and one of you came out to say everyone collected the money, how easy do you think it will be to convince your employers that he didn't collect the money. The truth is that Nicholas could't have known that he was the only one that refused it since the journalists were told to see the accountant. What if a few other journalists didn't also see the accountant who gave out the money. So what the guy was saying is that Nicholas should have said some journalists rather than say all the journalists except him. I also think it was not fair. Can he mention the names of all the journalists that were there? So he didn't know all of them and shouldn't have said all of them.
ReplyDeleteThere s nottin wrong if TB Joshua asked u to concentrate on d survivors morethan dos who died.
ReplyDeleteBut Mr. Bayo I think its already too late for dis. Pls join d next train....lol
As for Nico, U shldnt hv insulted d whole body (NUJ). U surely have created enemies for ursef even within ur area of work.
Olatee_seun@yahoo.com
I know that Nigerian journalists are very corrupt, biased, ethnic and religious zealots who can never speak or say the truth but report according to their tribal affiliations or whether u have settled them . woe betide you if they hate u or u do not settle them, u will be finished by their dirty pens. that is why people like myself only go for instant news media like linda ikeji, bellanaija and others. At least u can rely on wht they tell u or show you.
ReplyDeleteWhen it was first reported that a certain amount of money was offered by the pastor on question, I felt it was just an attention seeking journalist but this apology just blows the truth open. No apology is required here my dear new attention seeking journalist as your name wasn't mentioned . You obviously earned your degree, so you should know better. Peoples lives were lost here and a man who should be reconciling the event is offering bribe in the name of fuel money. Smh!!! God has really started to vindicate the innocent. I don't see any reason for crying wolf, u shut your mouth since on the alleged bribe issue so why speaking up now?
