@4Play

I agree!These Igbo people are shaming Nigeria with their criminal dealings.Their greed is unparrelleled and has led them to become Nigeria's top purveyors of criminality

Can you honestly swear with your life that there are more Igbo boys involved in odu in London than Yoruba boys.
While there could be more Igbo boys involved in fraud in US cos there are more igbos in US in London no tribe rivals the Yorubas cos there are more Yorubas.

The messeage is simple Nigerians generally are involved in fraud so let no one try to call any tribe.

@ Afam

For so many reasons I am a fan of OBJ and have no regrets about it, I am ready to state this anywhere no matter what happens in Nigeria today. But then some of his grass roots politics in states like Anambra and Oyo, are simply appauling, they nullify everything he stands for on the national scale and I have no doubts in my mind that 10years down the line when OBJ looks back in history the Ubas and Adedibu's will constitute his regrets.

There is simply no way you can absolve OBJ of the happenings in Anambra, yes people who have connections in high places use their position to influence things without the consent of the President but that of Anambra was too glaring.
If OBJ is not to be blaimed for his actions in Anambra on the grounds that he may not have passed those orders, he must be blaimed for his inactions when we saw the height of illegality.

Rapheal Ige the then AIG of Umahia zone, who was to naturally retire 1 month latter from the police, was not chosen to lead the assualt on Ngige by accident. Yet after the crime he commited against the people of Anambra and the Nigerian State he was sacked from police with all his pensions and benefits intact. (whats the difference sacking a man who was to retire 1month later if he will have all his retirement entitlements).
Ngige as it were then who was the chief security officer of his state was abducted, there were speculations that he was even slapped by Chuma Nzeribe. Yet OBJ did not see the need for using his position to curtail the excesses of Chris Uba.

Ngige's security details and police attachement were all withdrawn during this Saga, you can not tell me Chris or Andy gave Tafa Balogun that order.
Chris Uba testified before the court of law to have rigged elections and he was not arrested or even prosecuted for electoral fraud. He was rather given the trophy of PDP board of trustees member.

I am a fan of OBJ because he stood up against some bossom friends, who think the future of this country should be compromised in the name of respecting some comraderie that exist between them but then in Anambra he has done the very opposite.

Why is OBJ standing up against IBB and yet will not encourage an Ngige for standing up against the Ubas huh

??
That question I have never been able to answer, though I still love OBJ but Anambra and Oyo remains his biggest mistakes.

@Josh O

Just like they killed the Sheikh Guy in KANO TODAY. I told you that people don't want transition because they have stolen money and they want the military or anachy to occur.

The governors have stolen money and they will be in trouble if we have a successful transfer of power.

I think there is some element of truth in this.

Frankly I honestly can not believe US still being confident to interfere in other world affairs after the monumental failure in Iraq.

Though sometimes it is the fault of Nigerian media, cos I dont understand how a Senator in America will give his personal opinion and the Nigerian media will interprete that as the position of US.

It is like Jonathan Zwingina commenting on politics of America, and some newspaper will pick that up and hope to use that to coarse the Government of America.

Is it a crime to want things to be done accordingly?
Is it a crime to want perfection to be embraced in everything we do in Nigeria?
Is it a crime to want a fresh start?
Is it a crime to want the dirtiness that went on for more than 3 years between the president and VP to disappear for ever?

It is not a crime to want a new start but it becomes suspicious to in the name of having a new start want the elimation of the very symbol that represent that new start while being confortable and tolerating what reprents the old system.

Big B1:
Insulting?
Absolutely not.

MAMAJAMA: I hate to inform you that Mr. Ribadu himself will prefer and appreciate the presence of folks like myself around, rather than being surrounded by bunch of sycophant a*s*s kissers who will dance to any music.

Every now and then your keyboard keep betraying you, You have said it all. You are criticizing Ribadu for the sake of it otherwise tell me how any person in their right senses will be criticizing one of the few Government agency that works in a society where government institutions are synonmous to failure.

No matter how you fantasize about being more intelligent than everyone else or keep calling others names it does not take away the fact that your argument is so misguided.

Hate it or love it the underdogs are on top, the game of those who want bussiness as usual is up.
The New Nigeria you keep proposing does not want to see Ribadu but very happy to see the return of IBB huh

_{(even Orji Kalu is modest enough to accept that our nation need the services of Ribadu)}

Politics › Re: Ribadu’s Tenure Expires On Sunday by McKren(m): 5:40pm On Apr 11, 2007

Personally I think making him IG in may will even shorten the amount of time he has to serve this Nation, we need people like him in office for a long time so that he will help new breed of Nigerians.

He is one man who goes after anybody no matter their language or religion,

once he said "in Zamfara I am called a pagan because am after the Governor, when I went after Gwandi they say because I am Fulani and he is Kanuri, in Admamawa my home state they call me a traitor because I went after Atiku who is my brother, in the south some people claim am protecting the interest of muslims, Opposition parties say am silencing them yet we have gone after more PDP men" whose interest are we actually protecting he querried huh

I believe every aspect of that statement.

Politics › Re: It Appears The PDP Is Not Power Hungry Afterall by McKren(m): 3:11pm On Apr 11, 2007

Please get it straight, I like the fact that the wish of imposing Ugwu did not prevail but lets be objective here. PDP did not disobey supreme court order, because they did not go on to ask INEC to recognise Ugwu instead of Ararume. Supreme court rule that ararume won the election, but what they can not do is to compell the PDP to take part in elections if they dont wish to.
So they purseued their wish within the confines of the law, lets be clear about this so that no one begins to take the law in their own hands.

Why campaign against one of the few system working and the man at the vanguard of the war. You can as well start another campaign against NAFDAC

Politics › Re: Ribadu’s Tenure Expires On Sunday by McKren(m): 2:50pm On Apr 11, 2007

The Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, may have been tipped to take over from Sunday Ehindero as the next Inspector-General of Police.

P.M.News gathered from reliable sources that the latest promotion of the EFCC boss to the rank of an Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG) is part of the grand plan for him to be made the next police boss.

According to an Aso-Rock source, Ribadu will be taking over from Ehindero as Inspector-General of Police on 29 May, 2007, the terminal date of this administration and Ehindero’s tenure.

It is in fulfilment of this plan that the promotion of the crime fighter was yesterday announced as Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG), far ahead of his peers, the source said.

“Ribadu’s promotion, you will recall, has been fast-tracked to accomplish this goal. Three promotions in less than three years is no coincidence. It is all meant to actualise the 29 May date Nuhu Ribadu will succeed Sunday Ehindero,” the source added.

According to P.M.News sources, Ehindero was allowed to hold forte for Ribadu, which was why his tenure was extended twice. This is also why Ehindero is being allowed to conduct the 2007 general elections.

The appointment of Mallam Ribadu as the next IG would mean the retirement of the present serving DIGs and AIGS from the police on 29 May, 2007, we further gathered.

We also gathered that Ribadu has been charged with the responsibility of carrying out a revolution in the Nigeria Police.

“President Olusegun Obasanjo has tasked Ribadu to replicate his feat at the EFCC in the Nigeria Police. In addition, he has been mandated to suggest names of persons that could possibly replace him in the EFCC, so that his achievements in the commission will not be messed up after he had left,” our sources added.

It was also gathered that Obasanjo’s extension of Ribadu’s tenure by another four years is only a smokescreen to cover up the government’s actual plan.

However, other sources debunked the insinuations that Ribadu has been tipped to replace Ehindero.

They argued that Ribadu may be allowed to serve out his renewed four-year term as the helmsman at the EFCC because of the good job he has done so far in combating corruption, according to the estimation of some Nigeri

@BigB1

Your argument simply does not hold water, Mr Ribadu's job is in no way like an astronauts job. His job is by no means rocket science. As a matter of fact EFCC is as good as ICPC except for the dedication of Ribadu we would not have known of its existence just like some people might not know NDLEA. There are loads of other agencies that are like EFCC that all report to the National Security Service. You will not even compare the importance of Ribadu's office to that of the Inspector General of Police. Yet he is making in-roads in the anti-corruption war.

Tell me honestly, lets say hypothetically that if you were a teacher in some school you will demote the best student in your class to a lower class to send out the right signals to other students who performed poorly merely because on the average the class did not do well.

There are loads of other government agencies that are synonmous to failure you are not talking about them, why EFCC that is the only source of hope for a better tomorrow, why the man at the vanguard of this war. Probably I should have asked your definition of "failure of EFCC", I have always told you this before and I will say it again you can not talk about failure of Ribadu until you show us one innocent person in EFCC net.

Talking about opposition in this country and EFCC hounding them down, the most legimate opposition in this country right now is Buhari because he stood against OBJ in the last election. I dont remember EFCC harrasing Buhari because he simply has no questions to answer.
Ken Nnamani has lately become OBJ's pain in the ass EFCC is not going after him because he simply has no questions to answer.
Mimiko was threatened with EFCC but yet he was not attacked because he has no questions to answer.

people should stop designing unexistent immunity for themselves each time they realise the EFCC is closing in on them by picking up quarells with OBJ in the hope to claim they are being persecuted for their political views.

BigB1 in fact I challenge you to come out open and tell us what you honestly have against Ribadu, cos you are simply moving in circles.

@Debosky

Please don't reduce this argument to pro or anti third term as Ararume himself was a front line supporter of third term. I don't understand how long people will keep refering to third term.

People should stop trivialising the real issues in the name of third term debate.

Politics › Re: Presidential Debate On AIT: Very Funny by McKren(m): 11:54am On Apr 10, 2007

Building structures sometimes is not necessarily about having money. The problem in Nigeria is as soon as elections are over the opposition just disappear and then reconvene on the eve of another election. You simply cant unsit the ruling party like that, its not possible.

What the opposition should do after this election is to maintain the structures they have in place now, go to the grass roots connect to the people while preaching the message of hope, bringing to their awareness the smallness of our politics and why we need to turn the chapter, attack government draconian policies while lending themselves as a voice to the people. With that the people will have someone to trust and when its time for elections the masses can even contribute as little as N100 each to support a cause they believe in.

Not after election they will all go to sleep, in the hope to wake up one week to election to form rainbow alliance against PDP, it wont get them anywhere. As it is our election is simply a choice between a couple of evils and Nigerians simply dont know who to trust.
When the PDP wins again people will start wasting their time and resources in courts when they have not done their homework very well.

IMO state people are not very loyal. The state will rather burn down than someone to foist a candidate on the people from far away Abuja. Charlse was not the first,
They initially wanted to impose Festus Odimegwu on the people it did not work, they tried the Orange drugs man that one failed now it is Charlse Ugwu. I am not a fan of Ararume and can't guess what his government will be like but just know that politics of Imo is bigger than any individual. We don't do Godfathers in Imo State.

Even if Ararume did not win the case at the courts, if the people of Imo don't want Charlse Ugwu not even the UN secretary general will impose him on the people.

Ararume won a landslide victory in PDP primaries.
