Ribadu Lodged $15m Ibori’s Bribe With CBN – Waziri by naijaking1: 9:42am On Nov 02, 2009 |
This is the best news ever to come out of Nigeria in recent times. For the people who doubted Ribadu, here's the proof that the youngman is truely a patriot. How many of us would have had the character to reject a $15million bride? Ribadu is defintely my hero.

Re: Ribadu Lodged $15m Ibori’s Bribe With CBN – Waziri by FBS: 9:56am On Nov 02, 2009 |
But why did he recieve the money in the first place? What and where is the proof that the money came from Ibori? Can someone explain this to me? |

Good question! They are both rogues. One is succint and eloquent, the other a garrulous hitman. |
Re: Ribadu Lodged $15m Ibori’s Bribe With CBN – Waziri by naijaking1: 10:12am On Nov 02, 2009 |
FBS: Evidence, my friend evidence. |
Re: Ribadu Lodged $15m Ibori’s Bribe With CBN – Waziri by FBS: 10:14am On Nov 02, 2009 |
naijaking1:Evi what ? Where is the evidence? If there was one, then Ibori should be in JAIL by now. Would you be kind enough to explain in details? |
Re: Ribadu Lodged $15m Ibori’s Bribe With CBN – Waziri by naijaking1: 10:30am On Nov 02, 2009 |
FBS:I listened to Ribadu explained why he took the money with help of his security details straight to the central bank, then informed OBJ. If he had not taken the money, it would have been he said-he said today. If the EFCC had wanted to prosecute Ibori, it would have been easy, because there is no way anybody can withdraw $15million without leaving some sort of forensic trace. I also remember Ribadu saying that Ibori simply buried himself with Yar'dua, both strategically, and while posing as a friend too. I don't think the current administration of Yar'dua and his attorney general wants to prosecute Ibori, no matter what. |

Its seems farida has a had a rude awakening, She is begining to impress me. At the rate she is going she is going to on the good side of history |
Re: Ribadu Lodged $15m Ibori’s Bribe With CBN – Waziri by naijaking1: 10:55am On Nov 02, 2009 |
aisha2:Me too, though I was just wondering why she kept that information to herself for almost one year. |
Re: Ribadu Lodged $15m Ibori’s Bribe With CBN – Waziri by bibiking1(m): 11:03am On Nov 02, 2009 |
Please do not be deceived by Farida's new found vigor, its all a ploy. When james goes on trial for bribery then you can then start smiling. Revelations without prosecutions are just time wasting strategies. They know the day is near |
Re: Ribadu Lodged $15m Ibori’s Bribe With CBN – Waziri by FBS: 11:06am On Nov 02, 2009 |
bibiking1:+1 naijaking1:Very strange or what do you think? naijaking1:Very funny, did you not listen to Ibori saying he never gave bribe to Ribadu? Question is, who is speaking the truth? Whatever Ribadu said is no evidence. Same goes for Ibori. |
Re: Ribadu Lodged $15m Ibori’s Bribe With CBN – Waziri by naijaking1: 11:18am On Nov 02, 2009 |
$15 million in cash it will certainly be easy to trace the bank notes from production to deposition---- if they want to. If you find Ibori's finger prints, and other associated findings then we would have an answer. |
Re: Ribadu Lodged $15m Ibori’s Bribe With CBN – Waziri by FBS: 11:24am On Nov 02, 2009 |
naijaking1:Yeah and that was precisely my question. Till we get an answer (proof) we can't conclude that Ibori is the guilty man. |
Re: Ribadu Lodged $15m Ibori’s Bribe With CBN – Waziri by naijaking1: 11:44am On Nov 02, 2009 |
That money is good exhbit. |
Re: Ribadu Lodged $15m Ibori’s Bribe With CBN – Waziri by Nobody: 11:51am On Nov 02, 2009 |
FBS:Where and why would Ribadau get $15millon and lodge it in CBN. Ribadau is not just saying. the Money was kept in the treasury as evidence. He would not take $15million dollars and put in the national Treasury so he can lie against Ibori. Its not Ribadaus word against Ibori, Ribadau has evidence to back up his claim |
Re: Ribadu Lodged $15m Ibori’s Bribe With CBN – Waziri by naijaking1: 12:09pm On Nov 02, 2009 |
@Aisha2 That's what I think too. |
Re: Ribadu Lodged $15m Ibori’s Bribe With CBN – Waziri by FBS: 12:21pm On Nov 02, 2009 |
aisha2:Are you saying this cannot be a "frame-up"? Ribadu can get that money from anywhere. What are you talking about? Until it is proven that the money came from Ibori, nothing is certain here. |
Re: Ribadu Lodged $15m Ibori’s Bribe With CBN – Waziri by Duduknight(m): 12:27pm On Nov 02, 2009 |
FBS: I don't get your argument. Did Ribadu lodge $15 million cash with the CBN or did he lodge a cheque for $15 million with the CBN. If it was a cheque, then that is evidence because the cheque will belong to Ibori, have his signature, and account number. If it was cash, then it becomes a case of one word against another. If it was cash, then I apologise but it is was a cheque, then I think you are just being pedantic. Farida has confirmed that Ribadu did lodge the money with the CBN; do you want her to personally show it to you? |
Re: Ribadu Lodged $15m Ibori’s Bribe With CBN – Waziri by FBS: 12:32pm On Nov 02, 2009 |
Duduknight:Can you find in the first post any mention of cheque or cash? If it was a cheque, then it's pretty easy to trace the issuer. If it was cash then all you've got is Ribadu's words and that my dear is no proof. Just as Ibori words. Geddit? She doesn't have to show me personally. With a cheque, you have a straight forward case, don't you think? |
Re: Ribadu Lodged $15m Ibori’s Bribe With CBN – Waziri by Nobody: 12:38pm On Nov 02, 2009 |
FBS:Some peeps never sieze to amaze me. SO Ribadau will carry $15million and put it somewhere he can never get back just so he can frame Ibori, do you know how much that is? Abeg, enough of the conspiracy theory, face facts. |
Re: Ribadu Lodged $15m Ibori’s Bribe With CBN – Waziri by jaybee3(m): 12:41pm On Nov 02, 2009 |
Below is the quote from Ribadu during one of his numerous interview on the bribe saga. all they need to get a conviction if it ever goes to court is for the people present to confirm that they were present and saw ibori give Ribadu the money in question. I know lying under oath might be a norm in naija so rellying on andy uba as a government's prosecution witness might be a tall order but surely they mus have been other people present at the handover. I also remembered him saying he couldn't arrest him right after the handover because of the immunity besotted on him by the Constitution. "On the day that James said that he was going to give me money, I told my colleagues and we went to Andy Uba’s house, James (Ibori)was there and his servant or driver brought out the money from the house, in two (2) massive sacks containing US$100 dollar bills. My staff took possession of the money, I told my staff to take the money to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) where it was counted and lodged as an exhibit.”[/color][color=#990000][/color][color=#990000] |
Re: Ribadu Lodged $15m Ibori’s Bribe With CBN – Waziri by Duduknight(m): 12:43pm On Nov 02, 2009 |
aisha2: My sentiments exactly. For that amount of money, there are other ways to get at Ibori. Why spend $15 million to get Ibori charged to court, convicted and released in a short space of time? Bode George only got 2 years in prison. |
Re: Ribadu Lodged $15m Ibori’s Bribe With CBN – Waziri by FBS: 12:52pm On Nov 02, 2009 |
aisha2:Where is the fact?! A simple question you have all failed to answer. All you have are just words from Waziri and Ribadu. How is that a proof in any court? jay bee:Going by the above, can we conclusively say that this is a straight forward case? It beats me to think that some people do think that Ribadu is a saint. Ribadu will have to prove that the money came from Ibori. But wait, $15M? where the heck did he get that from? |
Re: Ribadu Lodged $15m Ibori’s Bribe With CBN – Waziri by kpokpobita: 12:59pm On Nov 02, 2009 |
My brother i thank all of you that is supporting Ibori,all the problem started when Ibori did not succumb to obasanjo as a result of this obasanjo now have to use EFCC to intimidate Ibori all around.Even by then Rebadu was a close friend to Ibori and Ribadu also knew how Ibori is.Bet their is this parable that say`s if u bend down to look some one bombom don`t forget another person is looking at your own. |
Re: Ribadu Lodged $15m Ibori’s Bribe With CBN – Waziri by FBS: 1:17pm On Nov 02, 2009 |
Erm erm, don't want to burst your bubble , for I am NOT supporting anyone. My stand is this: Whoever is guilty should face the music and NOT jump into conclusion because Ribadu said this or that. Nonsense if you ask me. |
Re: Ribadu Lodged $15m Ibori’s Bribe With CBN – Waziri by back2back(f): 1:17pm On Nov 02, 2009 |
"On the day that James said that he was going to give me money, I told my colleagues and we went to Andy Uba’s house, James (Ibori)was there and his servant or driver brought out the money from the house, in two (2) massive sacks containing US$100 dollar bills. My staff took possession of the money, I told my staff to take the money to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) where it was counted and lodged as an exhibit.” Ribadu could have ARRESTED IBORI right there. Infact, he should have stationed POLICE around the place and once money handed-over every one get arrested. That is what a dummy POLICEMAN would do, if he is truly HONEST! Looking at above, IBORI has no case to answer. Uba should provide answers. Too Many Questions: 1. What was $15million doing in Andy Uba's house? 2. Same Uba was caught in USA laundering money for OBJ using Nigeria Presidential Jet. 3. Ribadu knew money was waiting for him as he did not show any suprise. 4. Since Ribadu and Uba are OBJ boys, it makes sense that they were trying to frame him. 5. The only person that can afford to 'forget' $15million(N2billion) in Nigeria has to be 'OBJ and his cohort. If above is all Ribadu had against IBORI, no wonder he failed to nail him! I dont like Ibori or Ribadu but I open my eyes and be objective about issues. |
Re: Ribadu Lodged $15m Ibori’s Bribe With CBN – Waziri by FBS: 1:18pm On Nov 02, 2009 |
back2back:+5. You couldn't have said this any better. Thank you. |
Re: Ribadu Lodged $15m Ibori’s Bribe With CBN – Waziri by Alxmyr(m): 1:59pm On Nov 02, 2009 |
What evidence are you looking for again? Is $15 Million the same as N15M? Anyone that could cough out such money to quell an interogation must know the meaning and the extent of his crime. Is it not here that Ibori said that he never offer Ribadu any money? Now Waziri, went to VOA (Hausa) to confirm that the money as an exhibit was indeed with CBN. Do you know how many Nigerians especially police officer in Ribadu's shoe who would have compromised for 1/10th of such money? If somebody deserve commendation and praise. It should be given the accolade. Nuhu Ribadu deserve a standing ovation. He is truly a Nigerian Hero. And should be celebrated. He came out clean and brave. |
Re: Ribadu Lodged $15m Ibori’s Bribe With CBN – Waziri by DisGuy: 2:04pm On Nov 02, 2009 |
Anyone know how to access VOA hausa? |
Re: Ribadu Lodged $15m Ibori’s Bribe With CBN – Waziri by Nobody: 2:13pm On Nov 02, 2009 |
back2back:In case your memory failed you, Ribadau did arrest Ibori |
Re: Ribadu Lodged $15m Ibori’s Bribe With CBN – Waziri by FBS: 2:18pm On Nov 02, 2009 |
Alxmyr:Y'all still dancing around the same issue. Madam Waziri went on VOA Hausa in The US to talk about issues in Nigeria. Heck, why didn't she mentioned it Nigeria? Let them take Ibori to court and let the whole world know the true story. A Nigerian Hero? Maybe yours but defo NOT mine. As far as I'm concerned, both have cases to answer. |
Re: Ribadu Lodged $15m Ibori’s Bribe With CBN – Waziri by Depilot(m): 2:24pm On Nov 02, 2009 |
Before we start giving any standing ovation to Ribadu, we should ask 3 questions: 1. When was the bribe (money) collected? 2. When was the bribe (money) deposited or transferred to CBN? 3. When was the bribery allegation reported? 4. If the bribe (in cash) was collected for evidence, where is the video tape of the bribe transaction? The time frame between question#1 and #3 should not be more than a week to 2 weeks. Anything more than 2 weeks is not acceptable. And if the bribe was truly collected as an evidence, there must be a video tape. Anything less will not be acceptable. |

15 million big ones is almost bullet proof evidence. |
