If you are a head of a household and you have millions of dollars in the bank, yet, your family is living in abject poverty,
would you consider yourself an accomplished family head ?

What is the point of having money without putting it to good any use ? Make we hear word abeg.

Oga seges, please provide a link (source) for your 'tory. tanx

What do you expect when they are being paid a meager N8,000 naira per month ?

Have you been to a Nigerian Police barracks lately ? Let's not even go there.

IBB should just shut up abeg. The reason he annulled the election was because the winner was from Southern
Nigeria. Plain and simple.

oh, what part of Nigeria is Ransome Owan from ?

What a shame. I pity Nigeria

tpia:
He was given a psychiatric evaluation, charged, and jailed.

What else was supposed to be done? Should he have been lynched? I dont get what people are complaining about here. Or maybe some folks think he should have been given the death penalty- in that case, speak clearly instead of mumbling in this roundabout manner.

The man himself said he was charged before being jailed. What he wants now is to be released and his sentence commuted so he can go back to what he was doing before under the bridge.


The way people want to tag this on the govt is so typical of Nigerians. Next thing is they'll say he had every right to be killing and eating people because the wealth isnt distributed equally. Anyone who feels that way should house the guy for a year.

Are you saying he already went to trial and was sentenced by a judge ? Because this was the point I was making.

If his being in prison is as a result of a judge's sentencing, then I apologize for my previous post.

The nigerian authorities should either charge him to court, send him to a mental institution or set him free.

They can't just hold this man in prison indefinitely; it's been 10 years already.

Seun:
Two years later, with the stock market is crashing and the naira also crashing, has this exercise really worked?

bank consolidation was not meant to keep the stock market from crashing or the naira from depreciating in the first place.

Nigeria is not immune to the global recession, plus the price of oil has dropped from $140 per barrel to around $40
per barrel.

@DaPhoenix

Ooh Please don't make me start.~~I remember that bathroom at my school in Liberia~~WOO,That was the most disgusting place on earth.~~Shit on the toliets seats,walls and grounds,toliets unflushed,pee on the ground,no tissues,smells like shit,boys and girls share the same bathroom,etc.SAD INDEED!!

It's not just the school's bathroom; it's Liberia in general.

My question to the Igbos, Ijaws, Edos, Efiks, Urhobos and other non-yorubas from southern Nigeria is:

Are you going to vouch for Yar'Adua for a second term in 2011 ? Because he is counting on you guys (as well as
his preciously guarded North) to win the 2011 presidential elections.

The thinking in aso rock under Yar'Adua is that they don't need yoruba people to win re-election in 2011. This is why
they have concentrated on them for prosecutable purposes.

The swift in which ex health minister Adenike Grange was arraigned by the EFCC was really unprecedented. Despite the
fact that she did not have a single kobo lodged in her account, she was still charged to court. Up till date, we are yet to
hear anything regarding her case.

In the Power Probe, most of the people that gave testimonies heavily indicted former minister Liyel Imoke and infact, the
EFCC where on their way to charge him to court, but Yar'Adua left him off the hook.

Over N300 billion naira was spent on roads when Tony Anenih was minster of works, yet, the roads remain in a deplorable
condition. He has been left untouched.

Igbinedion was charged by the EFCC for stealing N3 billion naira, but he was asked to pay some meager amount
and is today a free man.

However, Bode George, Femi Fani-Kayode have been charged to court for corruption during their tenures at the
Nigerian Ports Authority and Aviation Ministry.

Where yorubas the only ones corrupt during OBJ's 8 year tenure ?

Also, El-Ruai and Ribadu are being singled out because of their loyalty to Obasanjo.

@nodullme

Please, are there any Nigerian restaurants in the atlanta metro area (dekalb, college park etc) ? I noticed that you reside in atlanta.

Great journalistic work by sahara reporters if the story is true

chidichris:
glory be to waziri for touching at least three untouchables - bode george, borrishade and fani kayode and these are all federal criminals who ribadu says they are saints now let them come to his aid

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-31338.0.html#msg3262318

I'm sure chidichris would find a way to blame obj for this as Farida Waziri to him was sent from heaven.

futa is best university of technology in nigeria:did you agree

futa is (the) best university of technology in nigeria: did do you agree ?

Didn't they teach you how to write complete sentences when you attended futa

Moves:
U should given ur real name; full Uk address so that we can send the evidence to you;
If u have read the dailies in the past few days ; u wont have typed the inserted rubbish; the guy has been indicted; even though he might not have benefitted financially from it; turning a blind or allowing it to happen under his watch; in the UK where u live and where dimeji studied he would resign and hid his head in shame

The indictment is mere propaganda by the EFCC; they are there to check fraud and corruption, not to check anyone's leadership.

The bottom line is that, he was investigated thoroughly by the EFCC and they found he did not take one kobo from
the whole peugeot deal. He was not involved in any kind of fraud at all.

cre8tivity,

Please tell that your corrupt acquaintance that being free under Yar'adua doesn't mean being free forever.



Bode George, Femi Fani-Kayode were not arrested during obj's time, but Yar'adua arrested them.

So, cre8tivity, tell your corrupt acquaintance to take note.

LMAO

texazzpete:
One more thing

Ribadu announced to the world in the national newspapers of Nigeria that he had been an assassination target.
Yet not one of you loyalists found it strange that the man did not make a report to the police on the matter. In fact, the first the police heard about it was in the Nigerian dailies.



Naturally, he also failed to provide photos of the bullet scarred vehicle he was in when the purported attempt on his life was made

http://www.saharareporters.com/www/report/detail/?id=651

The bullets which shattered the back seat side windshield and the rear windshield however missed the target: Ribadu.

Efforts to get details of the attack did not yield much result as sources close to the embattled police officer hinted that letting out a vivid description of the attack may end up glorifying the plotters.

The part i highlighted in bold is the most convenient piece of bullcrap ever.



I'm going to take names of y'all who insist the guy is a saint and I will enjoy watching your reactions as the skeletons in his closet are exposed.

You mean he should have reported the assassination attempt to the same police that dragged him out of his graduation from NIPSS
and demoted him ? Next time, please, think before you type. Thanks.

People were afraid yet $16b was used to purchase darkness,

The figure is between $4b and $5b and not $16b. Stop amplifying Yar'adua's propaganda please.

Geregu, papalanto. Alaoji and Omotosho plants were not there before 1999. Bayelsa state was not connected
to the power grid before 1999. These were built by Obj.

If Yar'adua had followed up with the completion of gas turbines to the plants and stop going after Ribadu, Nigeria's
power situation would have improved today.

About 500 people were killed in the Jos massacre - nothing has been done about this

Bank robberies all over the place - nothing has been done about that

The reverse of the sale of Ajaokuta Steel plant - what is the status of it ?

The reverse of the sale of Nitel - what is the status of this ?

The only accomplishment of Yar'adua in 2008 is the persecuting and dismissal of Ribadu from office.

Congratulations !!!  Thanks for improving the lot of 150 million Nigerians !!

LMAO
