I dont get the unreserved love for Ribadu by Debosky.

I dont get the unreserved love for Ribadu by debosky

as usual, i have condemned ribadu in every way all throughtout this forum. i have called him many bad names, i have painted him black, i have disrespected all he has done for us and for our country, i have called for him to be arrested, but from what i have discovered today, i have nothing left to say to this wonderful human being, but to ask the Lord, the creator of heaven and earth to continue to bless mr.ribadu. I ask for forgiveness for all i have done to damage what this man has done and i also ask my good friends (nairalanders) to forgive me from being stupid and inhuman.
i will convert my negativity towards ribadu into positivity from today forward. and he, ribadu better don't let me down.

may God bless this gentleman, called ribadu.

cre8tivity:

i do get it, i totally understand why debosky feels this way. ribadu is the greatest and he should be treated with respect.

i wish this topic is deleted, ribadu doesn't deserve to be treated this way.

Ribadu is a typical Nigerian fraud and will remain so as long as I am concerned. I have tried to find reasons behind his rapid promotion within Nigerian police but could not find anything intangible talk less of tangible.

Dede1:

It is funny that Ribadu has no outstanding police record and yet most inhabitants of the jungle are trying very hard to make a saint out of him. I shall never cut my nose because I despise my face.

debosky:

Unreserved love? No such thing!

But when someone like cre8tivity comes on nairaland with the SOLE purpose of destroying Ribadu's image, I smell a rat and it must be exposed. She is either in the paid employ of the current corrupt goons running the country or was severely impacted by Ribadu's anti-corruption efforts.

Ribadu is not flawless, he became political in the release of the so called 'list' and definitely didn't go after every single person I felt he should've. But for crying out loud, as the first leader of the EFCC in a corrupt country like Nigeria, he was still a breath of fresh air. The terrible state of his replacements makes him look even better.

John Edgar Hoover (January 1, 1895 – May 2, 1972), generally known as J. Edgar Hoover, was the first Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of the United States. Appointed director of the Bureau of Investigation — predecessor to the FBI — in 1924, he was instrumental in founding the FBI in 1935, where he remained director until his death in 1972. Hoover is credited with building the FBI into a large and efficient crime-fighting agency, and with instituting a number of modern innovations to police technology, such as a centralized fingerprint file and forensic laboratories.

Hoover was highly regarded by much of the U.S. public, but posthumously he became an increasingly controversial figure. His many critics asserted that he exceeded the jurisdiction of the FBI.[1] He used the FBI to harass political dissenters and activists, to amass secret files on political leaders,[2] and to use illegal methods to collect evidence.[3] It is because of Hoover's long and controversial reign that FBI directors are now limited to 10-year terms.[4]

We can not begin to think about a better country for us when dissenters and contrarians are indicted in the courts of public opinions and personal sentiments. In my lifetime, I have seen Nigerian prominent politician(s) referred to Nigeria as a geographical expression. What could be more geographical expression than jungle? The last time I checked, I am entitled to qualify Nigeria with any word I deemed feat as long as no law is contravened.
