Prof Corruption: GEJ has managed to plant a mole in the committee. So much for this president who is completely corrupt. What the hell is Steve Oronsaye ranting about? What prevents him from writing a minority report?

Billyonaire: In every clime, there is always a room for conspiracy theorists. You are short of words but not short of lies. Congratulations for being a Prof of Corruption and lies!

Maxymilliano: What a show of shame, guess Ribadu is used to running a one-man show and having his way, it is puerile of Orosanye to choose such moment to express his reservations, which is more like an eye service to me.

Good for the president to ignore such inanities, what matters is the desirable effect, I hope he get down to brass tacks without much delay and muster the courage to implement some of the recommendations with far reaching effect.

I also hope he will spare us the idea of setting up another committee this time to harmonize the recommendations of the various committee.

Nuff said.

Frank-C:

Is it not really simple enough from the history of the actors? Ribadu has never been known to be a team builder or a team leader. I think he believes it affect efficiency. Check his records, Ribadu arrests suspects even before investigations finishes. His methods has been historically unorthodox and make no mistake about it, he achieves results. His method shields him from the inefficiency of the beauracracy.
For Orosanye, anybody that knows him will know that he is one of the most principled, process based and fearless civil servant this country ever had. Take a look at his days at the Head of Service. He built majority of the service structure in civil service today, so he had always been a process person and will naturally argue with Ribadu's methods.
Actually, if you look at the committee, you will notice that core professionals were drawn from different fields for this assignment. Ribadu himself is a core professional, very technical too. When you have an all technical committee like this, it is always better to drive it with a man/woman with strong leadership skills. Ribadu has never had that.
To my mind, there is no contradiction here, Orosanya was being true to type, so is Ribadu. But i believe that Ribadu could have managed this team better while achieving his desired result. First rule in leadership is never allow your team to be fragmented.
And to Mr President, we all have a lot to learn from his crisis management. He managed the situation well, while allowing all to save face. He is a thorough team leader.
Now, Ribadu's report has been accepted. Orasanya's inputs can still be accomodated. The collection of these form the report of the committee. This will further expand the discussion points that will lead to concesus. Most importantly, their harmonized findings must be taken seriously and as Mr President said, ALL indicted must be brought to book, but more importantly, the system MUST be made to be more fool proof.

Billyonaire: What baffles me is how a copy of the report was speedily released to the press even when the committee members are now arguing that it is not ready and was not harmonized. Who speedily released the report to the press instead of sitting down together to harmonize it. This is very immature.

greaterlove:
what happened yesterday is already a pointer to why the report was leaked. there was already some infighting and disagreements between the members of the committee. i am impressed with the way the president handled the whole matter, it shows maturity, i only hope he will impress us more by implementing the recommendations (if possible with some good additions and changes that will yield better results).

kulutempa: Steve Oransanye is a bloody disgrace and has not iota of integrity. He is serving on a committee which is looking into the activities of NNPC where he is a member of the board and he thinks there is nothing wrong with this? He is simply a worthless human being.

Billyonaire: Yes, you are right. But I took my time to go through that report, in real honesty, they didnt dig deep. They simply gathered data from the organizations they are supposed to investigate. I think there was in fighting already. I can only assume that the entire petroleum sector has to be overhauled totally. There are so much dirty deals going on in the Oil Fields.

Frank-C:

It is always easy to insult everybody and call them names but i think it is better to undertstand where they are coming from. For your information, this is an adhoc committee and people don't resign their appointments when called to serve in an adhoc committee. Even Ribadu did not resign ACN membership, Agbakoba has vast interests in maritime law while Gerald Ilukwe is still Galaxy Backbone M.D. So why should Orosanya resign?
I think you don't even know Orasanye because if you do, you will know that in this country, we still have men with principle and ideas on the way forward and not just career critics.

Remii: Nigeria we hail thee, Farookgate diluted Subsidy probe now Orosanye is about to mess Ribadu report, when will Nigeria stop this "pencil and eraser" design? really sad.

1025:

uncle,
over hauled by who? are u kidding me? aso rock is dirty and has polluted everything about the country. as long as you have pdp in aso rock, if u like over haul our rivers and seas, it can only get worst.
the same ppl over hauling the country are the same ppl behind these problems. is ribadu suppose to occupy any public office in this country again after all his show of shame at efcc where he refused to hand over to the next chairman as well as his refusal to honour all the court invitations? how can such man who ran away from justice bring justice to nigerians? what if everybody refuses to appear in court like he did?
pdp chairman openly told us that boko haram is fighting for justice and his son is in the subsidy scam. when such person is in charge of the ruling party, what do u expect? how many pdp members have been linked to boko haram?
pls get serious and stop encouraging these dead brains to change one criminal for another.

vascey: It is a wonderful coincidence that 2 post-subsidy committees set up to review the petroleum sector have botched their mandates due to flawed process. I dey laff in swahili.

I am not surprised though. For a such a seemingly "clueless" man to get to this position, he must have some "evil 10" qualities.

On a lighter note, anyone noticed how Deziani is looking at Jona in picture 2?? Hmmm... Are u sure some "shining" is not going on in the presidential villa? No be me talk o.

Billyonaire: Yea, I noticed that too. She has that sheepy smile of some lover. Are you pondering what am pondering ? Just joking.

vascey:

I agree with you. I read that report too but couldn't help thinking that- this looks like a summary to me, where is the main report?

They didn't ig deep enough.
