@Kabikala 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* |
@all, I am not biased at all. I have only stated it, the way l see it, it might not be perfect but l encourage others to add/subtract to and from it. I am not saying Ribadu is a saint, infact, l personally have questions that l will like him to answer, not to prove his guilt but to "show Nigerians| that we can still trust and redeem him. These questions bother on "morals", not exactly "legalism" because the law can be an "as*s*h*ole", if you're smart enough and Nigerian law has too many loopholes providing escape conduits for criminals. WE MUST START FROM SOMEWHERE. Haliburton case? Third term Money shared to the Legislators by OBJ? Patience Wife? The other Corrupt 28Guv'nors on that list? OBJ's thievery viz-a-viz Power Project and Iyabo's looting of the Ministry of Health? The question l want Ribadu to explain to Nigerians is WHY DID YOU NOT TAKE ACTIONS ON THESE ISSUES? I recognize that he cant solve all the problems in one day but l want to be re-assured that he did not pretend that those problems where non-existent! Like l will concur with others, "selective Justice is a starting point", let Jonathan "select his own group of treasury looters and deal with them". By the time they are done with reducing and neutralizing themselves (i.e Thieves Vs. Thieves), the masses will or should be able to finish off the winner in that contest. We cant take on all of them at a time without recourse to violence, the outcome of which no one can predict. Just to add to my previous 10cent. |
His "slowpokeic" case is really PATHETIC! Now he is "inviting" Deep Thought! *shakes head and feels sympathy for parents that wasted resources on this one*I forgot he was using the "Shalanga" he was talking about earlier, in London? British born koo, RedBricks nii Mentally deranged Soul. |
From both sides of the divide, we have spoken well. In my own view, we can dissect this "Ribadu Saga" into TWO distinct periods. 1.) Ribadu when he was EFCC chief. (scenario 1) 2.)Ribadu when Yar'Ardua became President (Scenario 2) In Scenario 1, l will not repeat what others have said, for sake of brevity but will summarize: a) OBJ used him to hound perceived, "corrupt" enemies - a big minus for Ribadu b) Until proved otherwise, ALL those enemies of OBJ, (like OBJ himself and many politrick-cian in Nigeria, looted the nation) c) Ribadu, at OBJ's instigation (and he was his boss, the President and the one who appointed him), dealt with some of these treasury looters d) Ribadu, in docking his I.G.P who stole about #32Billion!, recovered most of the money and that crook called Tafa Balogun was removed like a cancer (Now we know why Police men wear bathroom slippers to work, run from duty because of inferior firepower, "Roger" forever at checkpoints, e.t.c) e) 419 King-pins were beginning to get the message, during Ribadu's tenor. Even the neighborhood Yahoo-boys simmered-down. The country's image was improved internationally. We were de-listed from many "blacklists", worldwide. f) He was alleged to have bought a Bullet-proof car, l consider this as a "tool" of his work. It happens everywhere including advanced countries, that "highly-at-risk" individuals like him need one. Again, thieving Guv'nors also bought strings of bullet-proof cars? Remember the Drug-Lords nearly killed Dora Akinyilu at NAFDAC? Can anyone here still remember the names (talk less of their family members!) of four EFCC operatives that were killed last month? Or are we waiting till they kill Ribadu so that we can now "eulogize" him to high-heavens? Abeeg. g) That he "took time" before lodging the bribe-money Ibori gave him ($15Million!) into CBN account; lets ask ourselves, how many of the thieves you guys are shedding "croc" tears for, would return such money, if they are given, as gift? How many of them actually stole larger sums from the citizens? But Ribadu was "fighting with his conscience" for 7months and eventually did the right thing? If others took seven months to "listen" to their conscience and then do what is right, Nigeria would be a Paradise today! Better late than never. f) OBJ, for various reasons, including doing his bidding but not limited to that, promoted Ribadu rapidly. Now, OBJ was the President and just like Goodluck has the powers to re-instate Ribadu (did anyone read where Alams said that Yar-Ardua gave(promised) him presidential pardon? its all within the powers of a President and its lawful), OBJ is within his Presidential prerogative to promote Ribadu rapidly on good performance. So, Ribadu is a substantive, legal and well documented AIG. Period g) That Ribadu practiced "selective Justice"; he hounded "some looters" and left some, l can not argue against that. Could he arrest/arrange all of them at once? NO. Would he had fared better if he folded his hands and allowed the "selected looters" to go Scot-free? NO. By Ribadu's action of selective Justice, is this country reduced of its high numbers of looters? YES. "50 thieves minus 5thieves is still better than 50thieves"! Not minding which corner of the treasury the savings were made. If the new EFCC chair has practiced "selective justice' in the last 3.5 years, may be OBJ, IBB, and the remaining looters would be behind bars by now and Nigeria will be more the better for it but h*ell-No, its business as usual. So, all this gripe about 'selective justice' is narrow minded. Its the best option and the only option Ribadu had. "A good warrior does not aim all his arrows at once". In Scenario Two. Enter a Yar Adua whose election was financed by the association of Nigerian forty Thieves and treasury looters, headed by Ibori! The same people Ribadu dealt with, when they tried looting their state and treasury dry! What do you expect? a) He was first accused of not being qualified to be AIG, for not having attended NIPPS, so to NIPPS he was sent: HE went!! b) Not done, Ibori swore publicly that he would humilate RIbadu out of the Force! Imagine, "one criminal" saying he would remove the Uniform off a decorated Police officer? Only in Nigeria, (or Columbia to some extent) will that happen c) Studying at NIPPS, his EFCC seat was given to someone who signed Ibori's criminal bail bond! I wont delve too much on that since we all are witness to the rot at EFCC today. Let history and the people decide on that. d) His demotion was orchestrated by by Ibori, using non-performers like Onovo, Mike Okiro, e.t.c. It was nothing but a fulfillment of Ibori's promise: To humilate a decorated Police officer! He was demoted to DCP, posted to one remote location close to Ibori's area, so that he could be finally assassinated! dont lets pretend we dont know what was coming to him back then, he survived two assassination attempts before taking "self-preservation" seriously e) When that was not enough for Ibori, he sought to again get him thrown out of NIPPS but failed. f)To further humiliate him, Ibori, using his foot soldiers, tried to force him to wear the "ridiculed DCP rank" so that they can humilate him on his graduation day. Imagine, A Wickes Store thief trying to humiliate a decorated and courageous Police officer? They failed again. 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. The same Chairperson of ICPC (that anti-corruption outfit that is so lame that it could not even convict anyone since inception, except Ribadu of course ) that declared Ribadu wanted, on the basis of which he was also sacked from the Police Force, now shamelessly came out to say that THEY HAVE SUDDENLY REALIZED THEY HAD RIBADU'S ASSET DECLARATION FORMS WITH THEM ALL THIS WHILE h)Finally, on the basis that (i) He was properly promoted by someone with the authority to do so (The President), and wrongfully removed from that designation, the PSC owes him an apology, legally speaking. (ii) His demotion was the act of a demonic clicque, led by a sworn kleptomaniac, who by a twist of fate, is facing the law of Karma behind British Bars. Someone who looted his state treasury and by his acts, terminated the lives of sick children whose lives could have been saved, had the money been invested in hospitals, safe drugs, clinics, Post-natal care, immunizations, e.t.c. Someone whose acts, terminated the lives and dreams of young Deltans (and Nigerians) due to unfulfilled official responsibilities and duties like good roads, quality education, jobs, stable electricity, e.t.c. Call me a Ribadu fan if you will, l will soon be your own ardent fan, if[b] you can remove some of these "kleptomanic-vermins" in corridors of power[/b], the Anacondas, those corrupt judges that grant injunction by mid-night, corrupt I.G.P's, Ministers, Legislators, because you will have taken a small step, in the right direction. Just imagine if Mike Okiro or Onovo were like Ribadu, rooting out corruption from the ranks of the Police Force (just that aspect), do you think we will still have all these "extra-judicial killings" or have you forgotten the case of the Apo Six, under "Sir" Mike Okiro? I rest my case joo ![]() |
I've told you l dont have time for your type, Igi-imu jinna s'ori As far as l can deduce, you're just on small boy stowing-away with visiting Visa and running your mouth about Investment Banking viz-a-viz living in London. I have a met quite a few important people from NVS and Niaraland in London and we're all friends as l speak but none of us would dare come here and rant about London or take pictures of British TOILETS as evidence of good living! ![]() Abeegii what should prince Harry do? Its quite obvious from your Post (As someone noted) the kind of environment you grew up. And your Posts also shows how immature you are. You cant repeat "slowpoke" from now till next week, it shows how limited your vocabulary is, a fall-out from your inferior education Finally,l repeat: "what a Dog sees and is barking, is childs-play compared to what the Lamb sees and is looking bored". You're just starting life and just some "small change/ coins in your pocket" is making you go nuts and you think the whole world hates you! You ain't the first nor the last that would step into London, you know? I hope your folks at home still have your "attention" as you may have classified ALL OF THEM AS HATERS, as well ![]() *shakes head at such peasant mentality* Very comic person Relax and enjoy life, its too short to be bitter with everyone and be eccentric, 24/7 |
Sagamite, A lot of people, with good intentions, have advised you to "slow down" with this your "I live in U.K, l am an investment Banker" rant. Listen to them and focus on something tangible. You cant be the only one with a job in U.K, posting on Nairaland? No one here sent you to school (?), no one pays your bill so, NO ONE CAN HATE YOU, for whatever success (?) you've made! Its obvious you're just sounding-off like a barrel. Believe me, all those "yarns" about using mobile device to send "toilet pictures" or "street pictures" or "a restaurant" must be very childish to a lot of people! Bet me, it does not impress anyone one bit, not even someone who has never traveled abroad, after all, they see it on Satellite-TV ![]() Again, You posted most of your pictures at NIGHT on a WEEKEND, yet you claim to work as an investment banker? Which firm of investment bank do you work, over-night? And l did not say "humans" monitor colleagues (I said organizations have "Hardware/Software systems" in-place that monitors what staff do over the network, where they visit and take "appropriate actions", based on the set I.T policy and privileges in place) I guess your own Investment bank does not have an I.T group and they dont use Cisco Routers? Even if you use a private network on your mobile, it still hows how idle you're to descend so-low, to take pictures of your loo during office hours! ![]() Or where you also remotely taking pictures taking pictures of your loo, from home, at night? ![]() We all know that Stocks and Bonds dont trade on a Weekend, certainly not at night, dont we?! It seems the phrase "a slowpoke" would qualify for an over-abused phrase in your lexicon! everyone you meet is a slowpoke!! ![]() I wont even waste time to engage you, "what the Dog sees and is barking, is childs-play compared to what the Lamb sees and is looking bored" Lets go back instead and discuss the title of the thread. The time to ignore you is NOW. |
Having worked in the banking sector for not so few years, in the I.T Group specifically, l KNOW that we monitor what each staff does with corporate time, as does most serious businesses, be it Telecoms, insurance, e.t.c (and anyone working in those sectors anywhere in the E.U /U.S can attest to this.) I also know that we have software that restricts staff access to "social websites" like Nairaland, Facebook, Tweeter, e.t.c I also know that ALL TRAFFIC are monitored and analyzed, especially those that go from your personal E-mail address and Social websites. How an Investment Bank would allow "pictures of their Toilet" to be uploaded to a Social Website, still beats my imagination. Even the Vice President of the bank would not attempt that! Again, how "a banker" has the time (look at the time-stamp of the Posts!) to post and upload pictures of buildings, toilet seat, e.t.c) throughout a working day, is beyond comprehension! But we know better ![]() @Orilee9ice Dont say anything o! "Adi'e T'osu ti-kotoo, sebi arare lo'ntan jee"? "owun t'aja ri, to'ngbo, ko to owun ti Aguntan'ri, to'nwo booo"! ![]() WORD!!! BTW: All these rubbish and show-off should stop, it's derailing the thread. If anyone wants to show-off Kuwait, Iraq or Dubai, GO OPEN A NEW THREAD AND FEEL FREE TO DO SO Anyone got new updates about Ibori? When is he appearing in court, under her majesty's law? |
@ODI, I am not against the actualization of Biafra, if that is the wish of majority of Indigbos. I repeat, self-actualization/Determination should be put to a referendum in any association of nationalities. End of Story. As regards your question on why YORUBAS voted for OBJ in 2003, my answer is these: 1.)Who do you suggest they vote for? Atiku? Ojukwu? Okay, he was not even contesting! The North was at their usual "king-making" games once again. 2.) Since the Yorubas insist they dont want OBJ but the East, and the North especially, foisted him on the country, its only logical that we "join" you guys in the next election 2003 3.)Much more importantly, l think you will agree with me that the whole OBJ fiasco was a ploy by the North, to pacify the West with regards to the EVIL that IBB/ABACHA did to their son MKO ABIOLA (Infact, about the only person ever credibly elected by all Nigerians in a free & fair election, to-date) BUT at the same time, ensuring that the payback was not without malice and self-interest! Like the Gift from the Devil, it has to come with a catch, and the catch was that evil OBJ! If everyone listened to the Yorubas in 1999, that slowpoke will never have smelt Aso Rock, he would have rotted in jail where he belongs. But then, what do you expect, after looting the country using Operation Feed the Nation (OFN) and annexing it to Obasanjo Farms Nigeria (OFN!), you guys still wanted him as President in 1999, then you all deserve what you gat! Or did we not warn you in 1999? Guess l answered your question. BTW: I still insist that you refine your language in a public forum like this. Calling a whole nation (Like Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba) and addressing them with such foul language does no good to your person and distracts from the point you're trying to make. Cheers |
@Dede1 @ lastpage Osaxx, You should just say a Republic for the Ijaw. There is no such thing as a Niger Delta Republic, because the people of Rivers, Cross River, and Akwa Ibom would never join a nation with the Ijaw.Oga Dede1, Abeegi, I think it will be insulting to you, if someone used such foul language on you, your people or your region? How can you refer to people from the South/South as idiotic? What makes them idiotic? YOU? We have said that we should refrain from collectively abusing a nation, it is sheer ignorance. Again, l am baffled by your anger at people describing themselves as "South-South", a geographical expression of their location i.e South of Southern Nigeria. South-South only exists on paper as of now, just like Biafra only exists on paper as of today but maybe, maybe not, it will be realized as an entity in future, that l can not predict. But l do know that "it is wrong to even try to "assimilate a nation, by subjugation, if they want to part of you". Everyone is entitled to FREEDOM, as a fundamental right, freedom to associate is also a constitutional right. To develop migraine simply because the Ijaws or Ibibios or Anags or Itshekiri dont want to become a part of your Biafra project, is astonishing and simply satanic. You want to "yoke them" with the same yoke that you are also trying to escape from, in the Nigerian project? Haaba! "Eastern region" is not synonymous with Ndigbo, it consists of many other nationalities. It is just a geographical coinage, just like South-South or Mid-West or West/North. I am not a South-South person but l detest this muscling and "association by force" that your guy is preaching here. If you try to use force on them, all they need do is "sign a treaty" with one of the major tribes. You attack them and you've attacked the 'major' tribe and you will have another war (but with a bigger foe) on your hand! One of the lessons l learned from the last Civil war was that "One should not start a fight they cannot win/finish", its just not worth the effort. Ojukwu is here today, supporting IBB for President (remember who were the principal foe of Biafra?) but millions of Igbo lost their children, wives and bread-winners, in a war he started, and bailed-out to Ivory-Coast, when the going got tough, leaving them in the lurch! Why is he not championing and rooting for an Igbo President? Even myself like others from the West, would support the clamour for an Igbo president, for the sake of fairness but how can l, when even the Igbo leader/Lord of War (Ojukwu) is not in support of his own people? Very Ironical, you will agree. bTW: I think we are derailing this thread unnecessarily. Its not about South-South Vs. Ndigbo, it was about Kaduna, abi? Lets stick to that and shift the Ndigbo/Biafra/South-South, e.t.c to another thread. I hear that Yekowa has been sworn-in as Guv'nor of Kaduna ![]() |
Here they go again! ![]() *yawns and skips to the next educative thread* |
^^^^^^Go back a few pages and you will see some "poison" from EzeUche ![]() |
^^^^Thanks for clarifying. ![]() |
What about our own attack line? How many Goals? Emmmmm''''''''''' *can someone help me out, like Mr. A, 50goals* ![]() |
^^^^^ I have said we should all be friends on this forum. No need to use a microscope/scanner to "x-ray" every line of word someone types. Like we say in our yaawa parlance, "idea is need" ![]() BTW: Guinness is spelt with a capital 'G' and if im no be "Larger', l guess you will call it soft-drink ![]() @nearest. Please, lets not go that route anymore. No gain in retaliating in like manner, though you feel offended. We are all bruvdas! @Orilee 9nice The only 'melecine' l have is my Can of Guinness! ![]() We say: NO to Drugs, No to Smoke and No to Yabis!!! ![]() I mean YES to just 2Cans of "baba dudu" and dont drive while at it! |
I haven't heard any of the "Top Defenders" that would be playing in S/Africa yarning about how to stop Messi or even Rooney (if fit) and to hear it coming from the likes of Yobo or Kanu says something about them: SPENT FORCES LOOKING FOR SOME RELEVANCE ![]() How else are they going to "impress" Leather-back (or whatever he is called) than to just 'say-something'? Anyway, lets just enjoy the joy of "participation". I am embarrassed by the score line, even before the ball is kicked! ![]() |
Thats what l will like to see on Nairaland instead of all that yarns about how Igbo will fight Yoruba and Hausa people will not support and the N/Delta will use their crude oil to soak Gaari because The Mallams have refused to transport Groundnut down south due to the menace of all my Lagos Area boyz who claim Tinubu was the person behind IBB's poster flooding Isale-Eko and therefore they must remove one of the eyes of "Oju-yoboo" if He wants to be a Senator and Jonathan must stop wearing that his "Canoe-sized" hat since he is no longer a Governor of South-South but a Nigerian President! I mean, for example, what is the meaning of all the rubbish l posted up there? Dont even make sense to me! I must go take my 'melecine' earlier than usual today and double dose! *Poster opens a Can of Guinness Larger* *and then a second Can!* Meen, dis is one-man riot, inside the house! |
^^^^^^Naaaah, you're dead wrong! How long do you think a "young Hot" Madam can stay without 'jigijigi'? A year at most and "Baba Yaars" (RIP) has been out of circulation for over 3yrs now since he took ill. Rumors have it that one of his 'Cabal member' is the one vibrating Madam on his behalf ![]() I guess there are fringe benefits, apart from monetization, to being a loyal servant of a leader I just want everyone to keep an eye on that OBJ, that he does not make nocturnal 'condolence' visits to Katsina! Wallahi, he is that kind of dude, if you know his antecedents while in AsoRock ![]() |
^^^^^^^Hmmm! U may need to edit ur post quickly if you claim: U dont know the 'Sultan of Sokoto'! U call him a "Southerner"!! I hate to see some naira-lander taking a dig at you over that ![]() |
I wish l could be left-handed sef! Even left-legged (like dat useless Van Persi @Arsenal )Naaah, nothing "trips' me more than a left-handed lady (Walahi, I will just be smitten yakataa! Nowadays, we 've gone past that level of "superstition". Left, right and centre-handed, JUST HAVE A HAND! ![]() BTW: Why cant folks make a resolution to post without all those "foul languages", just for one day? ![]() |
^^^^ ![]() |
All of us cannot live in London naaahw? Especially the people with "visiting Visa" that disturb ma-window! Naaah, those that have the real "Palee with Mama's emblem" dont even care to brandish it! When its time, "Oro a-soraa e"! ![]() |
Wetin be all this noise about "living in London" sef? Wetin make "shon-of-the-shoils" come do when ordinary immigrants (thats if its really true o ) dey take London yarn?Lets leave London out of the equation please. Too many inconsequential people full london abeg. CAVEAT: And before you take offense, this is a general comment not directed towards anyone who lives in London or Toronto or even Abule-Egba ![]() |
This is interesting! That the Sultan of Sokoto is talking Econometrics! No pun intended. I give him three "Gbosaas" for that. And the man said exactly what l said in my post #184. Its all about "method and procedures" that wont shake investor's confidence in the market SLS is trying to protect. I hope SLS can pick a word or two from the Sultan. |
@favouredjb Thanks, l take that as a compliment. U sef, you are somewhere untop of those that standout @Ezeuche he Ijaw can have their own small little Republic, but wherever Igbos are in large numbers, we the Core Igbos will never let them GO!!! Not in a million of years.I hope my "minority brothers" take note of this quote? While we are at the cross-roads about the North not wanting a "free confederation" and asking WHY?, Does the quote above remind you of what the minority tribes would be clamoring for, in an Igbo dominated Biafra, (IF THE ABOVE REPRESENTS THE GENERAL THINKING WITHIN BIAFRA? But l doubt so ) In as much as we all love "self-determination", l dont think any reasonable Igbo person (generally nice people) will advocate such forceful domination of other minority tribes! It will be like the Biblical story where a very rich man forgave his "poor debtor" but the same "poor debtor" was later spotted trying to wring the life out of someone else who owed him an even "minuscule" amount! ![]() |
^^^^^You're not praying the guy will have Chaug-Chaug syndrome, are you?! [size=25pt]End of matter. Chikenna[/size] |
@Asukwo. That was very brilliant and inventive. Keep it up and "drawing". |
Okay, this thread has generated enough bigots and tribal war-lords (abi na 'Lord-of-War' sef?) http://234next.com/csp/cms/sites/Next/News/National/5569015-146/national_assembly_confirms_sambo_as_vp.csp [size=25pt]National Assembly confirms Sambo as VP[/size][size=15pt]End of Story, End of Turanchi!![/size] Anybody that wants to challenge it should go to Court. Anyone that wants to make trouble or cause unrest will be dealt-with, like a "Boko-Haram" ![]() |
@Geeko I am paying roughly the equivalent of 6000 naira for uninterrupted electricty abroad, isn't Nigerians paying more to buy diesel to power generators?I pay roughly #30,000 naira (equivalent) bi-monthly on a residential, small family house. But the power has never fluctuated since l can remember! If given a choice between "stable+ relatively expensive" OR "Cheap+epileptic" as we currently have it, I bet Nigerians would go for the former. There is a knock-on effect on both sides Stable: No Gen, No Smoke, No threat of sudden fire, Stability+ long-term planning (business and domestic), industrialization, less stress, e.t.c Epileptic: Just reverse the above but its cheap! I some cases, you pay but dont even get the electricity, especially when PHCN has realized it is better to hoard those Pre-pay meters that does not allow for bribery/PHCN egunje! ![]() Life wil never be the same, if we get stable power in Nigeria |
^^^^^ ![]() Not this kind of "one-liner". It does not give much info. But as stated above, l guess the issue has come to a conclusion already ![]() |
Okay, so the conclusion you came to (which seems that is where you did set out to arrive at, at the onset) is that "Yoruba people are fetish"? Right? Thats your final conclusion? Okay, we dont need to discuss the issue any further. Lets move on to something more interesting and less Fetish ![]() End of Story. BTW: Someone said you had a post in the racism section where you state that "Yoruba Films belittle Christianity"? Adding that, to this current, Are you planning to "Un-write Yoruba History" just because YOU are a Christian like the rest of us? ![]() Different stories for different folks. Just "left" the Yoruba people alone. You can exist without them, l think? |
@typia And what is your understanding/definition of "juju", Babalawo? |
