Obata,

I no understand. Do you mean to say that you are not happy that GEJ has appointed the one and only anti-corruption czar who served without blemish and without whom corruption will never be fought to fight the oil cabal that have taken over the oil industry at the detriment of our country the way he fought the corrupt Talibans of Afghanistan to the aclaim of the UN and US and the good and peace loving people of Afghanistan?

I just don't understand, Obata...

Looking at the names of the members of that Panel, I'm reminded of how things have changed from yesterday. Not long ago, 85% of the members would have been Alhaji this, Mallam that. But in that list, I counted only two Alhajis and one Mallam. And what's more, GEJ has harkened to the yearnings of Ewuro, Tonsoyo, Mikky Jaga and other OPC members by ensuring that Yoruba people are well represented.

Up transformation...

Enough of Ngbati and okirika man. Let's discuss the return of the one and only anti-corruption czar. What do you think chief? Now that GEJ has brought in a "credible" fellow in the person of Alhaji Nuhu Ribadu of the ACN to head this important Task Force, are you ready to give Jona a breathing space, Chief?

Can't you see that transformation has started...

What is urgent is an effective police headed by a strong, fair, and experienced police officer. Task force is useless. It is another rigmarole by a clueless president. How many task force does he want to inaugrate? The last one was headed by Christopher Kolade. Sooner, president JUonathan is going to establish another task force for shitting...Haba!

Make Nuhu Ribadu the IGP. Let him sweep all the jagbajantis into jails.....

RIBADU'S ACCEPTANCE OF bADLUCK'S APPOINTMENT- LACKOF POLITICALFORESIGHT,PRINCIPLE,MORALVALUES AND BETRAYAL OF THE ACN AND NIGERIANS THE HIGHEST LEVEL!!! IT IS UNJUSTIFIABLE!!! THIS IS UNFORGIVABLE!!!
RIBADU HAS SOLD HIS SOUL TO JONATHAN,THE PDP,THE U.S.,BRITAIN, FRANCE THE WORLD BANK AND THE IMF


See me see trouble o! Wonders will never end. Ribadu of all people heading petroleum task force.Nuhu Ribadu appointed by his opponent(from the PDP) in the presidential elections to head a petroleum task force that has generated so many controversies which many Nigerians have protested against all over the world. This is just unbelievable! This is incredible! When I saw the headlines,I just could not believe it! I thought that it was a joke! Imust beday dreaming.But my God,it's not a joke! It's true! It's real! What is even more shocking is that none of the earlier commentators made the observation that I ammaking now. THIS IS JUST MADNESS! Ribadu has allowed himself to be used by jonathan,The World Bank,IMF and western countries to deceive and impoverished Nigerians. But,I can assure him that he and his masters have already failed in their mission because Nigerians are not that stupid.

RIBADU HAS SOLD HIS SOUL TO JONATHAN AND THE PDP!!!

So,if Ribadu wants to serve Nigeria and Nigerians,he can not find any other job except this controversial job and an appointment from his opponent and the PDP, a party that he criticized strongly during the elections. Thank God that Ribadu has shown his true colour and face. We now know that this man has no moral values and principles whatsoever otherwise, this is the last appointment on earth that he should have accepted!. I was just wondering how Ribadu will look at the faces of people like Femi Falana,Ahmed Bola Tinubu, other prominent ACN politicians and Nigerians that spent their money, energy and time to campaign for him! I was just wondering how much jonathan badluck must have offered ribadu in order to secure his agreement.

Can you imagine I wasted my energy and time to write a 4 series article titled FREEDOM COALITION: $250M FUND TO ELECT MAJ. ABUBAKAR UMAR (RTD.) RIBADU AND AKUNYILI IN 2011 AND GET RID OF BABANGIDA, JONATHAN AND THE CABAL FOR GOOD! YES WE CAN! because of this guy called nuhu ribadu!

rIBADU, I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT YOU MADE THE BIGGEST POLITICAL MISTAKE OF YOUR LIFE AND YOU WILLLIVE TO REGRET THIS FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. APART FROM THE MONETARY REWARD,YOU HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO GAIN FROM ACCEPTING THIS APPOINTMENT.I AM SO HAPPY NOW THAT YOU DID NOT BECOME NIGERIA'S PRESIDENT AFTER ALL BECAUSE YOU WILL BE MUCH WORSE THAN JONATHAN. YOU HAVE NO PRINCIPLE AT ALL!!! YOU HAVE BETRAYED THE ACN,FEMI FALANA, WOLE SOYINKA,OTHER HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVISTS, TINUBU,ALL THE ACN GOVERNORS AND OTHER NIGERIANS THAT BELIEVED IN YOU, CAMPAIGNED AND VOTED FOR YOU!!! YOU WENT AGAINST THE WILL OF ALL THESE PEOPLE.YOU HAVE LET ALL THESE PEOPLE DOWN AND THEY WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU! THIS IS TREACHERY AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL RIBADU!!! YOU AREA LET DOWN AND DISGRACE. THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR NUHU RIBADU

THANK YOU VERY MUCH NUHU RIBADU FOR SHOWING MILLIONS OF NIGERIANS YOUR TRUE COLOUR ANDFACE BEFORE MAKING YOU A PRESIDENT.THANKS FOR THAT. WE HAVE LEARNT OUR LESSONS.BELIEVE US,WE WILL NOT REPEAT THAT MISTAKE AGAIN!NOW,WEKNOW THAT WE ARE DEALING WITH A CHAMELLION!
Only a fool who does not have any worth and does not respect himself will ever campaign again for Ribadu or give him an appointment.

I DOUBLY SURE THAT GANI FAWEHINMI MUST BE TURNING IN HIS GRAVE RIGHT NOW!!!


PDP = PARTY OF DUPERS(419) AND PUPPETS(WESTERN)


YOU ARE FREE TO REPUBLISH THIS POST ON YOUR BLOG, SOCIAL WEB SITES AND SEND IT TO NUHU RIBADU,FEMI FALANA,WOLE SOYINKA, BOLA TINUBU,RAUF AREGBESOLA,BABATUNDE FASHOLA,MUHAMMAD FAWEHINMI,FRIENDS, COLLEAGUES, POLITICIANS, HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVISTS, E.T.C. . THANK YOU.

Is Jona marginalizing the Great Tiv peoples of the Middle Belt? We cannot all be punished for the sins of Anaconda! Where is a Tiv Minister? Where is a Tiv panel member? Where is a Tiv Special adviser? He will need the Tiv to fight any war for whenever bravery (or balls) is needed...or we are muted from representation like is done on the NVS???

p.s.
Why do the southerners fear the fulah, a people the Tiv defeated in wars?

I have three sweet definitions of a COMMITTEE:

1. God so loved the world that he did not send a committee.

2. If Moses had a committee, the Israelites would still be in Egypt.

3. Committee is a group of men who individually can do nothing but as a group decide nothing can be done!

GEJ s committee is the smokescreen designed to cover up all findings at the House of Reps probe on so-called oil subsidy. At the end of the day, we may now expect no White Paper.

Alooter continua...victory no longer certain!

‘Why Ribadu will accept FG’s appointment’



Written by Taiwo Adisa, Abuja Wednesday, 08 February 2012


QUOTE:
THE announcement of former presidential candidate of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in the 2011 presidential election, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, as chairman of the Task Force on Petroleum sector immediately set off some sparks.

There were concerns whether the former anti-corruption czar would accept the offer.

Investigations by the Nigerian Tribune, however, confirmed that the man was most certainly going to accept the offer, due to international and local pressure.

Sources close to Ribadu said he had come under intense pressure in recent months to accept to serve the nation and help in shoring up the accountability quotient, especially in the oil sector.

Ribadu was originally pencilled in as a special adviser on anti-corruption by President Goodluck Jonathan in 2010, before he succumbed to pressure to contest the 2011 election.

Sources, however, said with the United Nations job in Afghanistan coming to an end, the time was ripe for Ribadu to accept to serve his fatherland again.

A source quoted Ribadu as having said that he was not opposed to serving the nation in any capacity, as far as it would not conflict with his assignment with the UN.

“When a new wave of pressure mounted again last month in the wake of the national outrage over the removal of oil subsidy, Ribadu was unreachable,” said a family source, adding that he was at the time at a Manchester hospital in the United Kingdom, attempting to help save the life of his only sister.
