Turbocharged: How is that a credit to Ribadu's CV?
There's no how you can carry out an investigation of such magnitude without the involvement of professional Auditors and Consultants. In every audit, the keyword is "Investigation", "Verification" and "Reconciliation" of accounts and then "Recommendation" From what we hear, Ribadu only did the investigations and recommendations, leaving out the verification and reconciliation of accounts.
Ribadu went there to score cheap "Political Goals". If not, why should he leak the report to the media even before submitting it to the one that engaged his services. You guys are always amazing. The ones that were verified and reconciled what has retardeen done about it, what is Ribadu report saying dat we dont know, ur boss is pathetically corrupt ao he wont and cant fight corruption, there is no need trying to blame Ribadu for the failure of this committee cos all the reports of all the comittes set up by ur boss ve been programmed to fail cos they will never be implemented and Nigerians are no longer hoodwinked anylonger.



NIGERIANS AND PRIDE sef.

Yungeagle: I dnt knw y nigerians are so blind 2 see the writing on the wall,bt 4 now GEJ still d best among wht we hve been seeing,is just dis evil men using media an violence to spoil show 4 him.

pDude: So does Ribadu look like it is $15 million that is his problem? I know it is a colossal amount for you but does he look that hungry?

Seems you have no idea of his worth. Go and do your study on Ribadu and tell me if that small change is his problem.

Wadeoye: And now, the same Ribadu has gone back to work for the same government that removed him from office.

What is the problem with this man? Can't he not leave without government appointment?

You know these people very well, why must you take another appointment under them when you know they are not sincere?

Anyway, I have never trusted Ribadu...Actually i seen a lot of dumb comments but never in my short live ve i heard anyone sound this dumb, but again i see where u draw ur inspiration from, your Phd president is also like you always chatting shit!

atbu1983: This is one of the most stupid comment in the history of nairaland.

ibedun: I am sure most of you have never built a house in your life. What you are seeing is a full fledge mansion by any standard.

The comments here is part of the reasons our polithiefs are stealing us to death

Yours GEJ,:
people are arguing about the possible compromise of the report and GEJ is giving a lecture on how oil is important

CHESSBOARD: How would you feel Airport yoruba ministers destroyed for more than 8 years,m the last revamp was done by Kema chikwe....OBJ's friend Aborisade and femi reduced all Nigeria airports to car parks. I was suprised when a yoruba guy in my office said as far as the money was looted by a yoruba man he doesnt care and that is the mentality all of them have.

Nonnyz: Wonderful! When the matter on remodeling of our Airports GAT first came up, frankly, I criticised same, fuming and lambasting of the much waste thereon which will go into the pocket of a few... Now, my assertions and believe indeed have been flawed as GEJ 's government again, have wrestled me to the ground on this. A very commendable work.

ndu_chucks: This post shows the inadequacy of the Lagos traffic law. An exemption should be made for the leader of our Judiciary who chose not to cause more havoc by driving around with sirens and 10 or more car convoy, as the leaders of the legislative wing and executive wings do.

Expecting the chief justice to move around Lagos like the rest of us, is foolish and equivalent to saying that GEJ and David Mark should drive around Lagos like the rest of us. You people should use your brains.

I suppose you all would have preferred her to cause more traffic havoc by driving with police convoy and sirens. SMH

werepeLeri: Yeah right - and became a billionaire in the process.

Charles.nerd:
@Topic,

That a man can switch from being a christian to muslim ,then traditionalist does not portray tolerance,rather it portrays a lack of conviction to stick to a particular set of beliefs or ethos.I have seen a yoruba dude who have switched from being from being muslim to christian and has invariably attended all variants of christian churches without any real difference in religiousity or real description of what he actually wants from the churches;I rather find such confusing and I tend to call him a religiously confused man. Your point exactly nerd? wouldnt u rather the world be filled we such religiously "unstable" people than your illitrate extremist. If every one in Nigeria was moderate in thier religious pursuit perhaps the country would ve been more peaceful and more progressive.

I think its something anthropologists should dig deeper to unearth the root cause of such anomalous cultural behaviour. Even the yoruba muslims are not as hardcore as the muslims of the core north as you can find them clubbing and having multiple girlfriends even when islam strictly forbids such and the christians among them are always easily swayed to join pentecostal churches hence the rising wave of pentecostalism especially in the southwest;little wonder the major pentecostal churches are lead by Yorubas.It could have something to do with being liberals,as yorubas are naturally are,unlike in the southeast where people are highly conservative ,hence the dominance of conservative churches (catholic and anglican) and inability of pentecostalism to make inroads.

On a flip side,this could represent cultural dynamism and portray the yoruba as a group of people who are amenable to change ,but it could also portray Yorubas as a people who lack real convictions and lend credence to the belief that a yoruba man should not be trusted for his words as he/she is always ready to switch sides,depending on which position favors him most.

folahann: I've never thought of it at all. Just realised it's very true. There are uncoutable families in my hometown with Muslim father and christian mother.
I do have a huge galaxy of muslim friends too , I'm talking of very close friends here. Some of them even know the Bible more than I do.
I do like the southern muslims very much, they are violent-free and very calm.
What I observed though is that northern muslims in the south don't pray with a southern muslim leading the prayers. The northern ones gather themselves somewhere instead of going to a mosque.

Fathai: Will dis argument reduce d price of..RICE and BEANS............if it will reduce it lets continue dragging then.
