Skinner, if you could remember i have vowed not to paticipate in this forum anymore, but my brother if you're a lover of nigeria, its damn hard for you to see things going the other waay round and you will keep calm. Can you believe Ribadu, what a shame. God is about to distroy these people, watch and see what God will do to them. Let them all declare their assets, starting from obj, and rebadu, nigeria has not spoil to the point where solution can not be provided, we can still fix our beloved country, after God have finish punishing obj, Ribadu, Akiku, Burhari, Yaraduwa, and everyone in the senate, inec, and everyone that supports these group of people.

ummmmh,my fellow country men, me i no blame the guy boo, abi una no know sey na the tone wey dem blow inside trumpet na im trumpet go blow comot.....so Ribadu gaat to be an obedient servarnt to Baba Iyabo after all ....He who pay the pipper they say dictates the tone to be played.

But sometime, someday Ribadu will answer for his excesses and the whole country will be surprised just as my good friend....Saliu said in his little heart touching comment.

For goodness sake, is it not crazy and annoying for Malam Ribadu to come out and be telling the entire Nigerians that the president is not corrupt?

Anyway,my sound believe is that nemesis will surely catch up with you guys one day and by the special grace of ALMIGHTY GOD you all will never live to enjoy all your ill gotten wealth because this is nothing but insult upon injury.

Like i always say, Naija go survive ,we are waiting on God.

Well said ! But let us not dismiss Ribadu as a deluded zealot. The yorubas have a saying that when the young man is dancing out of rythm then it is possible that he is hearing a different music.

The question therefore is : what is Ribadu's motive?

This man has consistently turned truth on its head, gone beyond his brief, hugged the limelight and defended the indefensible and in the process, like Fani-kayode, insulted elected legislators. What is he after?

I bet when Obasanjo is out of office, this miscreant will come out to say his life was in danger and he had to say all this nonsense.

He is the prototypical Nigerian politician, who beyond his wildest expectations finds himself in position of power and true to type will stop at nothing to lord it over those whom he feels are better than him.

Power is transient and people have long memories. Nigeria of the 80's is not Nigeria of the noughties! Ribadu will have his day in the courts too and he will also answer for some of his excesses.

He has shown his uncanny ability for duplicity by insinuating that his hands are tied in the aftermath of the infamous EFCC list of shame and creating the impression that the presidency " doctored" his list.

So be it. If you must dine with the devil , then you should come with a long spoon.

I personally believe that Ribadu was specifically chosen for the job to achieve Obasanjo's machiavellian objectives.

He doesnt come across as an intelligent person with enough gravitas for the sensitive position he is occupying at present.

Where anonymity is called for he exhibits wanton visibilty that you begin to wonder if we are not witnessing the " russian doll" phenomen, circles within circles. Time will tell and the truth shall prevail.

Fear not, Ribadu will answer for his excesses and Nigerians will be surprised!!

It is not unheard of that the chief fighter of corruption is himself corrupt. It has been known to happen all over the world and indeed in ....Nigeria.

Be vigilant
