move darling, you can not complete an investigation without questioning 5 to 50 people. that is the point and the right way.
If U r Investigating a minister; and u have questioned all his juniors and have not found any issue to charge him with; what sort of investigation r u conducting, arresting and charging him to court based on evidence collated does not make him guilty, that is a pronounciation that a judge will make, if the FG or EFCC have such evidence instead of making silly noises in newspaper .they should contact their Uk colleague and arrest will be effected,

now, if you're invited by fg, it is your duty as a great citizen to immediately make yourself available, so that an investigation could be completed on time. any delay from you may jeopardize the successful outcome. this is what we have been preaching. ribadu as a former top fg official understands the importance of questioning people during investigation, but he refused to work with fg. now his best friend is pulling the same stunt. and you people see nothing wrong with this ridiculous action. it is sad, very sad indeed. we want a better nigeria, but we do not want the proper steps toward improvement to take place. a great example of lost souls.

move baby, if you know anything about carrying out a complete investigation, especially the one that involves top federal government officials from the last administration, it is a standard rule to exhaust all options by ensuring that all stones are turned before making your conclusion. any silly mistake may result into a very embarrassing and devastating outcome. i guess, you did not know this simple rule, but i can not blame you, afterall ribadu, your role model didn't know this rule either. he rushed like a figure head into 95% of his operations, and this is why none has been resolved as yet.

i wouldn't be surprised if el-rufai is arrested by UK officials and deported back to Nigeria. regardless of the matter, people over there in UK understand the importance of rules of law.
i think it would happen soon.
-This shows Ur ignorance regarding how the rules of law are applied in the UK, The EFCC or FG have to provide evidence that makes the above action necessary, the home office minister has to be convinced that his fundamental human right will not be infringed upon, Both the AGF & EFCC knows this,so unless they are able to this; u can keep dreaming
just in case you did not know, ribadu has finally realized his mistakes and he's now willing to submit. i just wonder how long it would take you people to see clearly that for any progress to be witnessed in our country, we, as the citizens of Nigeria must first be willing to obey the rules of law at all time. it doesn't matter if bad leaders are in-charge, the rules of law must be obeyed. it is that simple.
Until those charged with enforcing the Law; start enforcing within the remit of the law; in the correct order; with victimisation & prejudice, no progress will be made, IT IS THAT SIMPLE

move darling, you just don't get it. just because efcc has invited your boys doesn't necessarily mean they've done anything wrong. what is killing your boys is the ridiculous excuses they've given for not honoring the invitation. and just in case you did not know, fbi does invite people for questioning all the time, just because people in united states obey the rules and regulations doesn't mean fbi doesn't invite them. without questioning few people surrounding an investigation, how the hell do you expect a successful outcome? move love, this is why i tend to ignore you most of the time, you just don't think properly before posting.

chidichris:
any investigation concluded before a confrontation with the culprit is incomplete.
police can gather enough information before inviting or arresting anyone so el rufai is still innocent and that is why in law it is called invitation.
Are u saying that the above are the same thing; not in my books, An Arrest is an a arrest, heard of warrant of arrest yet to hear of warrant of invitation, Arresting someone does not mean they are guilty, even with all evidence acquired it the job of the court of law to decide if one is guilty or not.
it is only when he fails to clarify himself before efcc that he will be arrested and detained and possibly charged to court.
assuming he meets with efcc and they ask him where is N32b and he said i gave it to Mr. O, the next thing will be efcc inviting Mr. O to ask him if the funds was given to him.
Did u read the his reply above; if it was as simple as asking him a question there is no need for him to be physically represent,

okonjo iweala, a western trained economists had been invited once to testify and she did the same and went back to her base without telling nigerians that she is working. a clear conscience fears no accusation.
El-rufai has also appeared at the public hearing to answer questions and account for his part in the FCT

Ndipe, unless you happen to reside in the most gang-infested ghetto of Oakland, chances are that on your daily work commute, your mind is free to dwell on the coming day's activities at your place of employment. You will not, for example, be preoccupied with uncertainty about whether a street checkpoint along your proposed route that is manned by trigger-happy soldiers has been dismantled, while weighing the risks of avoiding that checkpoint by taking a long detour through a route notorious for car-jacking, but through which evasive fast driving is impossible due to the road being cratered like the lunar surface.

On reaching your place of employment, your ability to use the computer to work on critical tasks will NOT be dependent on whether the company's diesel electricity generator runs without mechanical breakdown, nor will your company's ability to locate unadulterated fuel for that "power station" depend on whether or not there exists an artificial fuel scarcity created by diesel hoarders and marketers. Correct me if I am wrong, Ndipe, but the Bay Area has not seen a power outage since the "rolling blackouts" of five years ago.

One has to remain ALIVE to enjoy and propound on the "Quality of Life", and to me the primary determinant of civilized life is freedom of movement. If your child were to require a nighttime hospital visit in the orderly society and city in which you live, you would NOT be filled with stark terror about the near-CERTAINTY that your car WILL be waylaid by bandits as you convey your precious loved one to a medical facility in the dead of night.

Unless one chooses denial over reality, that freedom of movement DOES NOT EXIST in Nigeria, regardless of how professionally successfull and wealthy the resident of Nigeria may be, unless, of course, that person resides within the self-contained and heavily guarded fortresses built by the multinationals in Nigeria for staff accommodation. If you fall into this rarefied category of Super Nigerians. then my hat is off to you for being FAR more equal than others.

Conclusion : Whatever creature comforts money can buy in Nigeria will only offer temporary and illusory respite from the multitude of life-threatening risks that lie in wait right on the other side of those fortified residences and offices of the rich, and for this reason the LIFE EXPECTANCY, as well as the quality of life for any person resident in Nigeria is without question WAY lower than most other "peacetime" countries on this planet.

For every UK "garbage disposal technician" that lives to collect retirement benefits and see grandchildren play in the back garden, TEN Nigerian doctors are randomly killed by armed robbers before they reach the age of 40.

waziri's efcc do invite people while ribadu efcc will forcefully pick people and that in most cases resulted to shotouts in cases of resistance and that happened in platue and aba for reference purposes.

Kobojunkie:
Why would a solution based on quelling complaints simply by shutting the people up work? For those who believe 500,000 Nigerians are actually moving back to Nigeria for good, wait just a month or two, and you go hear real complaining. lol!!

cre8tivity:
muza, in nigeria? i don't think so. may be the ladies, but the guys have shown us over the years that they do not have the balls to make things happened.

Kobojunkie:
What experience in Oil? I understand the man has been there before and in oil for so long but what have we (the Nigerian people) gained from all that? I know the politicians have gained millions in kick backs and more but what has Nigeria, as a whole gained from his experience? I am not shooting down the man but I say I would we try someone else.

game_rod:
Knowall.
I know a lot of proffesionals who have left the UK to go to Nigeria to work - if it is not good for them, why will they leave the UK to go take up jobs back home in Nigeria?

In Nigeria, everything is paid for in cash, meaning, people in Nigeria has more access to cash, then people who depend on credit cards to even eat and go on holidays? don't you think then?

earTHMama:
You are right because most Nigerian residents think their people that live out here do only blue collar jobs. What do you mean by 3rd, 4th class Nigerian citizens in Nigeria?

cre8tivity:
there shouldn't be a comparison between the 2, but it is fair to see both sides of the story. i honestly think ribadu is ok but what is killing him is: not being able to understand the importance of following rules and regulation during his operations. he needs to understand that if certain steps are not taken during any operation, the outcome usually comes back and bite. if it requires 10 steps to complete a process, it is a standard procedure that all 10 steps must be completely taken and documented.

scottN:
Now don't we all want Nuhu Ribadu back?

RICHIE BOI:
thats your own opinion. there are lots of people that deserve that front cover of time magazine not only obama

Muza:
the money used in financing the war was plucked from trees ko?

i honestly feel that the chairman position should be broken down into 5 parts. the identification of these 5 individuals should never be revealed to the public. i say if we know who you are, you're fired. this would automatically void power drunk, self centered and egoistic individual from being attracted to the position.

Muza:
But the waziri woman i making me sick,as old as she is she is getting involved in all kinds of scandals.
At her age what will she do with all that money.
She is not even making effort to fight selectively,she has killed the fight comletely.
During ribadus dayz people fidget at the mere mention of the word EFCC,they always move around

Muza:
i'm now beginning to miss ribadu.
Its better to be selective that corrupt to the bone marrow.
