I couldn't care less about Ribadu but i'll take selective justice over no justice any day.
Considering the whoring tendencies of our politicians, with time they will all fall out of favour at some point and ther selective justice will catch up with them.
As long as no innocent person is caught in between, i care less.
Until Ribadu came on the scene, politicians stole with brazen impunity and without any regard for decorum (even in stealing) but when the guy came on scene, the fear of God was put into the hearts of the barbarians.
Before then,once the monthly allocation came in, the governor and his boys in the ministry of finance just withdrew the thing changed currency and headed abroad.
No disguise, no tact.
Like has been mentioned on the Ibori thread,if you complain about selective judgement, the ideal answer will be start with the biggest thief and go down the list.
the problem is that you can't even decide who is the biggest, so anyone you catch will claim victimization.
I say, catch them [b]by any means necessary [/b]as long as they are thieves, i couldn't care less.

chidichris:

like someone rightly said, there is no moving forward as long as our constitution has been abandoned for individual's judgement which we all know will be overtaken by sentiments.
in which other countries of the world are ppl gathering like we do here on nairaland to say; HE TRIED.
obj tried, ibb tried, abacha tried, ibori tried, and now RIBADU TRIED.
WHY IS THIS HE TRIED MADNESS " MORE COMMON THAN OUR CONSTITUTION?
nigeria as a country has a constitution and police as an institution has their own constitution. if ribadu has gone against the institution, the laws are there to be reffered to rather than a jonathan order. what is autocratic govt if not what jonathan and our past rulers will always do.
there is no political term or constitutional word like HE TRIED.
until the constitution of this land becomes supreme, we will not move forward.
all these while the country has been based on HE TRIED", how successful has it been?
it is high time our rulers refered to the constitution for their actions and rewards/punishments.

In Scenario Two.

c) Studying at NIPPS, his EFCC seat was given to someone who signed Ibori's criminal bail bond!

g) After trying all these injustice and eye-sore tricks and failed, they now said he did not submit his "Asset Declaration Form" and sent the ICPC to hound him.

@ Lastpage;
What kind of Ribadus summary/judgement is this? Are you a relative of Justice Marcel Awokulehin?
As a poster earlier said, which side of your pocket did you remove your summary/judgement from?
My guy, my advice for you is that, based on your username, always try to take a neutral stand.
Always put all the merits and demerits on the table, and let people choose, failure to take to this advice, please drop the username.

You're right, it was CCB. Error noted.

@Enjoyment1
We cant all see issues from the same Prism? I want you (or others) to put forward your own idea/info and we would discuss it and then if it is correct and l am in the wrong, then l will "fall-in line"
Until then, l hate to say l will have to disagree with you.

I am not "neutral", l have taken an unbiased position, based on what information l have and what l think is most expedient in light of the circumstance our dude found himself. He could have done better, l know that but he is also human like all of us.
Until we produce a better replacement (by action, not words), l guess we have to do with the best till date.

BTW: I am not "last-bustop", that responsibility is too big for my small coconut head! 
*taps his small head a few times and nods in agreement*

justdtruth:

we have all spoken well

there is a part of this issue that we often overlook. pls do we have any militry, police, sss or whatever security forces in the house. pls we would want you to paint a little picture of what loyalty means in that circle. if you have an undertsanding of that loyalty then you will also appreciate what is happening now particularly with governance in nigeria. once a soldier, always a soldier. all these miltary men who came into politics came in with all the military ideas and that is how they work. thay have equally transfered this military mentality to the alagbadas and babarigas they dine with. ribadu is a tool, yes and what about others? are they tools too? the answer is yes. you want to work with them, then you have got to be loyal. katakata starts when there is a change in leadership or structure. all loyalist get the favours and all non-loyalist get the bashing. that is how it works. and when they are able to bring back their structure, they try to right the wrongs on the loyalists. these things are always about which camp you belong to.

this is how it happens everywhere. advanced, developing or underdeveloping countries. what our prayers should be is that the camp that will bring more benefits to the people have the day.

what we read in the papers are plays and dramas. the real thing is always classified. you know, sometimes, they just laugh at our analysis. they feed us gibberish and we poo same by talking the same gibberish

rather than be a pro-ribadu or anti-ribadu, pro-obj or anti-obj, pro-corruption or anti-corruption, tackle the issues and not the persons.

ayo84:

what is people's beef with nuhu, he is a national hero,he stood up to corrupt individuals and gave them hard time.he is apt and an expert in what he does,hoping and praying that he is called to replace faridi waziri and clean out the augean stables

Cohomology:

Lawless Nigeria with even more hopeless police.

Why should Ribadu apologize? What did he do wrong that warrants any apology?

Did the president instruct him to apologize?

How dare that criminal outfit called the Nigerian Police Force (NPF), those retards that would murder a pregnant woman for N20, talk about "this would bring indiscipline into the police force"? Isn't indiscipline one of the fundamental traits of the NPF?

If the gang running the NPF refuse to implement the President's directives, then this is a clear case of insubordination of Jonathan Goodluck's authority?

Is this happening to JD because he's north from northern Nigeria?

Are the southern elements within the power hierarchy of the NPF too brainwashed to understand that northern elements will always comply with presidential directives when a northerner is president?

This is just typical Nigerian nonsense!

selingel:

What does he want with a criminal outfit then?

Otobroto:

I am tired of news about Nuhu Ribadu, and El-Rufai.

Otobroto:

This is one clear reason I do not like Nigerian kind of news reporting. I know El-Rufai is a co-founder of NEXT Newspapers, but do they have to report this without mentioning El-Rufai? So, are they now telling us, El-Rufai was a saint? He never soiled his hands? Amongst other allegation against him, who gave a 3 year old land in Abuja? Abeg NEXT Newspapers, I am disappointed. Also, the so-called Report is to exonerate El-Rufai. That is the reason I will and can never trust a Nigerian Leader. This is another method of clearing El-Rufai of all allegations. I am not against him being allowed to go if he has no case, but the method being applied here, is making Nigerians look silly. This Jonathan government might even be worst than any other government in history. I know many will say otherwise, but time will tell.

Our-turn:


If I say my mind here, many will chop me raw. This kind of report is not good for Nigeria. NEXT Newspapers, and those who submitted the report, should bow their heads in shame.
