Muza:
revolution, Thailand people have shown us the way

This is pathetic!!!

The CAUSE he championed was one-sided. Of course, everyone wants to see the corrupt officials brought to book and locked in prisons but Ribadu was mainly after OBJ's political enemies. That made his EFCC worthless, impure and partial.
Ribadu our hero?? U must be smoking lah. . . . Has he put food on a poor man's table?? Solved Naija's electricity problem??
He is your hero, he is Nigeria's ZERO!!!

uk requested evidence to prosecute ibori from the agf and nigerian minister of justice, mr michael aondoakaa, "as per international rules, this is how it's done". since ribadu was the person that was working on this case, mr michael aondoakaa immediately sent a message to ribadu, requesting for the evidence for review and approval before sending it to uk. ribadu acknowledged the message from the agf but did not respond for many months. uk again sent another message to the agf requesting for this information for the second time. agf again immediately sent a reminder to ribadu. ribadu acknowledged the message for the second time, but still did not release the information to the agf. few months later ribadu sent a message to the agf informing him that he (ribadu) had sent the information directly to uk. agf was very upset and notified the president and others. friends and associates of ribadu also made it clear to ribadu that he shouldn't have disrespected not only the agf and the president, but the sovereignty of nigeria. ribadu did not care and felt firm about his decision to send the information directly to uk.
few weeks later, the judge in uk that was responsible for the case rejected the information ridadu had sent, the judge stated that the information did not have necessary signatures. therefore ibori's case was temporarily dismissed. the judge made it clear that he wasn't going to admit the evidence and proceed with the case without the signature of the agf. agf on the other hand was already very hot about the way ribadu had initially handled the situation. when the news got to nigeria, nigerians did not bother to understand the real story behind the situation, they immediately started to speculate that the agf and the presidency are fighting against "war against corruption in nigeria". this is not right, and instead of all of us being bias or choosing sides with a very little knowledge of the matter, i think we should all slow down and promote doing the right thing properly and always playing by the rules regardless of the matter. i honestly wished ribadu, as a bright and educated individual, could just relax and exhibit intellect, instead of overreacting and taking wrong steps like an illiterate man. this is a country's business we are talking about, but ribadu sees this business as his neighborhood's business and feels that he could handle it any way he wants. this is wrong and also defeats the purpose of fighting for the country. things did not have to go down this way, if he wants his legacy to stay alive for many years, he needs to cool down and go back to reevaluate his homework. not only nigerians are watching, but the entire world is also watching the display of stupidity at it's best.
of course, we all see the scenario differently, but it is clear that ridabu is wrong. just because you're dedicated to fighting for your people and your country doesn't mean you should do so any how or any way. nobody is above the law, we are all nigerian citizens before anything else, the rules should always be followed. nigeria has turned to what it is today because everybody has different rules that they follow.
this is the begining of ribadu's trouble with the fed govtmnt of nigeria.

Nairalanders:- A thought cross my mind that what will happen IF Yar'Adua Recalls Ribadu to head EFCC?

Am not in anyway saying that there are no other suitable candidates, i think dora akunyili is one. What do we believe will happen; I believe it will be a master stroke for the goverment; and if given adequate support; he will do better and working closely within the remit of the law.

@DAPOLAM, surely you are doing pretty good with your campaign so far,
@crea8tivity, can you for God-sake let DapoLam continue his excellent job instead of you bringing those
   judgement to his tread, please do not tell him what to say or who to answer. 
you just got his (dapolam) email address send him your suggestion , hopefully you get to know him better for yrselfish and unholy intrest of yours.
DAPO CONTINUE YOUR TREAD , YOU ARE DOING SO MUCH GOOD !

You have to do a lot to convince people that you are not going to be like your father - the worst oyo state Governor of all time.

If you believe you are human, then I urge you apply the same standards when judging the questions here. We are speaking of NIGERIAN POLITICS HERE. We are speaking of a group of people who have ignored the welfare of their own fellow me for one corrupt and inhuman reason or another.

Where were you when they were busy treating their own people like animals? Where were you when they were busy trampling on the welfare of those who voted for them in disrespect? Where were you when these same politicians looked the other way while the people lived in fear of being killed the next day? Why are you now demanding the people not ask their questions out of respect for those who you deem too human to be asked such questions?

U re obviously a professional sycophant. No offence Dapo, don't have a thing against u.

i knew ribadu wasn't going anywhere. he can not afford to relocate. do you have an idea of what comes with relocating to another country after you're being wanted by your country? it isn't that simple and ribadu doesn't have the required capacity as yet to pull it through. don't forget that ribadu was just a chairman for an institution that shielded many known thieves. if you did not know this fact, other countries clearly know it. ribadu may be special on your minds, but ribadu is just another nigerian citizen who will line up at foreign airports just like you and myself.

it is known everywhere in abuja that ribadu did not handle not only the recovered funds, but also major recovered properties, well. in order to enhance ribadu's strategic qualities, i would like to see him return back to school for the following advanced classes: management skill, management conflict, civil rights and liberties, legislative behavior, public policy, business, politics and power, political organization (bureaucracy), comparative politics, modern political philosophy, and symposium in political science. i'm very familiar with these courses and i'm sure that upon successful completion of all these classes, ribadu will become a better professional individual. nigeria is a country that has rules and regulations, ribadu can not just continue to operate like a villager.
