my people, the arguement here should not be wether he (ribadu) is doing a good work or not because he is surely putting in some good works but what we are saying is that the whole thing is one sided.
all of us here know the national, states and local government thieves.
the likes of Bode George, Tony Annineh and chris uba owe the nation much explainations on their popularities and affulences. how come they have never been questioned for once by our able EFCC?
how come the likes of IBB, Atiku, marwa and their families are been harrassed by efcc ever since they made their intentions for president known to the people?
how come is now? are their crimes new or the same old ones and if yes why havent anything been done to them ever since the inception of this able commission.
why is it the certain governors are been harrassed by the commission while the others work free? is their any state among the 36 with an outstanding performance to justify the funds allocated to them?
how come the secred cows will always go for medicals abroad when the sense danger?
let us shine our eyes

EFCC was set up to go after OBJ's enemies, hmmm. If a person like IBB is being investigated no matter whose enemy he is, thats a victory for Nigeria. I thought that was one of the major things Nigerians have been praying for all these years to bring a man like IBB to justice. IBB is Nigeria's enemy (no matter how we look at it). Everytime I read an article about the EFCC going after all these powerful names I just say a little prayer for Ribadu's safety. Someone in this thread said anyone can do Ribadu's job (that has to be the most shallow and naive comment in this thread). Would u do Ribadu's job if given the opportunity? Lets be honest. Think about it for a min and what it involves. Most of these men are dangerous beasts that won't waste anytime to crush their enemies not to talk of thousands of anonymous people that stand to gain from these evil people's prosperity. Tafa Balogun OBJ's friend or not was a disgrace to his position and I'm glad he was exposed. I'm just happy to see some names in the news and how their past/actions are coming back to haunt them (OBJ's enemies or not). If the works of EFCC can prevent a person like IBB getting back into Aso Rock I give them full support. With time I hope it'll catch up to the so-called sacred cows too if IBB is now being investigated, how untouchable do u think anyone really is? Even the US. has joined the efforts to track IBB's assets, present and serving government officials. As for how do yahoo boys affect the average naija man, we'll have to start a whole new thread to address that issue.

We will get and nail IBB, it will be tough cause he is a very smart man and he did cover all his tracts, but we will start confiscating all his investment that he is not claiming, and before you know it, he will be frustrated

@topic
He is a man that has sold his conscience. In the beginning, he was doing a good job with the 419 and all. He came across as someone with integrity and Nigerians were happy that finally somebody could tackle the menace of corruption. 3 years down the line the "integrity"has been compromised by allowing himself to be used as a political tool.
I thought that when he started seeing signs of such interference, he would resign but no he stayed on and so in the end, he is just the average nigerian.

A fine Nigerian, extremely dedicated, sincere, committed, but badly needs American training to be more effective and efficient.

Ribadu is a brave and patriotic Nigerian.
This is a guy that announced in a press conference that he never took a single bribe during his career as a cop. He dared anyone to come forward to prove the contrary. None of his critics have accused him of going after innocent people. The only criticism is that he goes after OBJ's enemies.
OBJ went to campaign in Ondo state and stated that the ANPP candidate (his former Housing Minister) was dropped for being corrupt and that the EFCC would soon come after him. A few days later, Ribadu told the press that the person in question, Chief Mimiko has no case to answer/is not being investigated by the EFCC as no petitions have been received about him. This singular action takes guts in a country like Nigeria.
The EFCC were very keen to pick up Fayose before he went into hiding. The courts ruled that Fayose has only been suspended and therefore still enjoys immunity/can't be arrested. Remember, before the brown stuff hit the fan, OBJ appointed Fayose to head the team that would pick or recommend the PDP presidential candidate from among the PDP governors. Can you describe Fayose as a political foe of OBJ?
Have you ever wondered why OBJ has visited Rivers state over 18 times, whilst he has only visited Benue state once? OBJ thinks Peter Odili is the real deal. According to a few newspaper reports, Ribadu stood up to OBJ and effectively dashed Odili's presidential ambition. The EFCC have the fattest dossier on Odili and will pick him up, anytime after May 29. Infact, as far back as 2004, Ribadu had stated that Odili is a very smart crook. When Odili came to London in Dec 2006, I watched an interview on BEN TV in which he was praising OBJ to the high heavens. Is Odili a political foe of OBJ?
If anybody is being investigated by the EFCC the real issue or question for that person is: ARE YOU A THIEF?
I'm not saying Ribadu is perfect, because he isn't. The Andy Uba scandal seems to indicate some level of manipulation from above. However, even in western democracies you can't rule out some amount of manipulation of government agencies and staff by the political leadership. In the 70s, it was really difficult for the FBI to get to the bottom of the Watergate scandal, simply because the president, Richard Nixon was the person being investigated/neck deep in the mud. In the 80s Reagan had some influence over Oliver North in the Iran-Contra arms scandal.
Ribadu might do himself a favour by shying away from controversial statements and quietly getting on with his job. He seems to be losing the propaganda war in a country where 60% of the print media is owned by corrupt politicians!!
Overall, I will give Ribadu a 85% pass mark. Don't forget that corruption has been the norm in our political life since independence in 1960. Ribadu is doing a very dangerous job in a country where life is cheap.

if nigerian movie producers see it, that becomes the title of a movie. so start fanning yourself, and copyright that title so they'll pay you royalties.
