I think people who lack ideas and then resort to raining abuses on others have taken over nairaland.

You seriously think so!

Atiku - Obasanjo - Ribadu - which is the best thing to ever happen to Nigeria?

THIS IS A SIMPLE REQUEST, SHOW US YOUR ASSETS E-A-S-Y.  Ribadu should be glad to do this and either shut people up or leave this lingring around. Until then its still valid

mirory, if that is what u call retarded, then u have to revisit school.
in the bible a woman was about to be stoned to death by a group of people who said she committed adultary but when Jesus reached the scene, he said to them, let any of u who has never committed her kind of sin be the first to cast stone on her. all dropped their stones.

Kalu likes diverting attention rather than addressing real issues. Once upon a time he challenged Ribadu to probe OBJ and when asked to come forward with evidence of his claims he refused. He will go to jail after leaving office its that simple.

A man who lacks focus like Orji Kalu should have no place in our national debate. Jail awaits him.

----------McKren

Mr Kalu is not diverting attention from any issues. His challenge to Ribadu is a valid one, which any defence lawer would pose to the prosection. Simply put, he has challenged Ribadu's credibility which may determine the admisibility in court of any evidence brought forward by Ribadu and his team. Is there a question mark on Ribadu's character ? Does Mr Kalu have any evidence to that fact ? I believe that Mr Ribadu should declare his assets to show the world that he has no skeleton in his own cupboard and Mr Kalu should bring forward any evidence to contradict such declaration if he has any.

On the issue of indictment. Indictment is what it is i.e accusation. The burden of proof is on the prosecution to prove the case in a court of law. Any other thing may be a violation of one's human rights. I know that some people are immuned from trial whilst in office, but they must leave office at some point. If we are in a hurry to get justice whilst they are in office, the relevant section of the constitution must be amended to allow prosecution whilst in office.

Kalu is known to divert attention when confronted with serious allegation. its only people who does not want to tell the truth will try to excuse him for this tactics.
Did Kalu embezzel Abia state money? The simple answer is YES, YES, YES. To give him a life jail will not quantify the gravity of this sin. He shld be stoned. I live in Aba and know what goes on in that state more than any of u who does not stay in Abia and depends on what he feeds u on the pages of newspaper to use in analysing him.
He is a propangandist to the core. But he cannot, repeat, cannot excuse himself from the curruption leveled against him. That is why he is diverting attention.
Come to think of it, if his hands are clean why will he even bother to reply OBJ,EFCC et all?? He who comes to equity must come with cleans hands. Up till tommorrow OBJ is still scanning through the affairs of the PTF so as to find sumthing to use and nail Buhari, but he has not. So Buhari cannot be accused of anything because he ddnt do anything incriminating. That is what Kalu is expected to do.
Before EFCC came out with their report on him, many people ulready knows this. U need to vizit Aba and Umuahia to have a feel of what is going on. That is why i pity these guys who are using what Kalu is saying on the pages of newspapers to judge him. OBJ can be accussed of same crime, what u do is to produce evidence. I dont need any evidence against Kalu other than the fact that Abia has been given atleast N100billion since 1999 and has nothing to show for it and Kalu is accused of pocketing about half that amount. It is the same thing with OBJ and his cohorts.
Kalu's antics will surely fail him. At the end of everything, he will surely go to jail. Infact going to jail is a privilegde for him. HE SHOULD BE STONED. !!!!!!PERIOD.

I think i concur with that Idea. Ribadu, should declare his assets also. He holds an important position and money passes thru His table also. They get support from International Bodies. How do they Spend this cash. Let Him give account. he is trying to Fight corruption, so let me Teach by Example. He should declare his assets before he his asked to do so.

God HElp Naija

Thats exactly what he should do.he shouldn't even waste time to do that to protect his job.

This is all getting more hilarious.

First between Atiku and OBJ, now Kalu and Ribadu!

what do you think is kalu's reason for making such a statement.
1. He badly needs some attention, it's hard to remember he is a presidential hopeful-candidate

2. He is used to talking without thinking. several cases; his allegations against anenih where he had to apologise, that obj has a platinum card which has been found to be false.

Even though he ribadu is not required by law to do according to kalu's bidding, he could just take up the challenge and end the nonsense

Kalu is very much in order to ask Ribadu to declare his assets. Nothing wrong with that. But I sense Kalu's request is
his usual diversionary tactic to take attention from the main issue - DID KALU MISAPPROPRIATE PUBLIC FUNDS?

Good folks, we should not digress or lose focus concerning these things. Corruption is evil and we have to start somewhere.
Should we wait for all to be clean before moving against corruption, then we might as well become Somalia. Why is it
that when a thief is caught stealing the village goat, we applaud when the thief claims he is better than a bank robber
and should be let go Because a Policeman collects 'toll fees' does not mean he should not do his job by apprehending the
burglar. The whole world is full of evil, but then, we should start from somewhere the cleaning process. All these arguments
are drawbacks and diversionary. Let's refocus, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a step. Let's quit the argument
that the feet sholud be covered before the journey and not left bare, such delays thet start of the journey.

Thank God for people like Ribadu. When I left the university in 1980, I believed that my generation would change the face and fortunes
of Nigeria. I feel sad to discover that we apparently haven't succeeded, but rather got entangled in the corruption mess. If God raises
a Ribadu to help in 'saving' our face, so be it. I suppose many of the posters here belong to the X and Y generation and not to my 'babyboomer'
group. Please don't fall into the corruption mess - Support it's rooting out so that your time will be better than ours.

In my time, we embarked on 'Ali must go'; and to our chagrin, the same Ali is one of the contributors of our present predicament.
God will bless Ribadu for trying to redeem our 'image' even if all the Kalus (who incidentally belongs to my generation
- and my neighbour in Victoria Island in 1988) scream blue murder. Project Nigeria must succeed. NO TO CORRUPTION!!!

The Code of Conduct Law states that every public servants must declare assets, whether you are elected, appointed or employed. Ribadu should declare his assets, its a simple request.

It appears you're right.

ugodaniel:

@chuduchris, pleas tell him, he seems to have developed deaf ears and dumb brain.

You appear to be a monkey that knows how to use a keyboard.

I don't know why this should be an issue.

Kalu's asking for Ribadu's declaration is largely uncalled for. His assets shoulda been declared before someone came asking for them. He has recovered billions of dollars from corrupt officials, how are those funds being returned to the federal purse? The first of the recovered loot by the Abdulsalami admin went into thin air, as well as the oil windfall.

As for Kalu, i do not think he is wrong by asking for that. He is not an upright man as far as i'm concerned so this is not covering up, it's like saying " i'm not going down alone!"

Ribadu should cover his head in shame and declare these assets as fast as possible before Nigerians lose confidence in him.

El-Rufai should as well, He who wields the sword should know the hand moves in 360 degrees. Shikena.

Hello nairalanders,
There is nothing wrong in this question?
Ribadu should declaer his asset.
HE WHO COMES TO JUSTICE SHOULD COME WITH CLEAN HANDS:
TAKE CARE ALL,



archbishop.

From what I have been seeing I think that I can conclude that Ribadu is a hypocrite and a fan of jungle justice,
If not, then why dosen't he want to arrest the real criminals(Who happen to be friends with his lord and saviour OBASANJO) Yet he keeps giving Atiku headache? Who even gave him the right to declare people as corrupt? It is only the Supreme court that can do[b] this after further study[/b]. I thought EFCC means economic and financial crimes commission then who gave him the authority to call people unworthy of holding political office.

I seriously think this is a calculated attempt by a desperate and selfish obasanjo to frustrate his good-willed opponents.
Why aren't people even thinking of impeaching him and why haven't his EFCC visited him?

From all this, I have come to conclude that the EFCC is a group filled with Obasanjo's dogs and lackeys,

@spade

CONNECT THE DOT PEOPLE! THERE IS A DELIBERATE ATTEMPT BEING MADE TO CLEAN UP AND REHABLITATE OBJ MEN. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS ONCE A PIG, ALWAYS A PIG. UNFORTUNATELY RIBADU HAS REFUSED TO THE HONORABLE THING. R-E-S-I-G-N OR DECLARE

OBJ only cares for himself and his ambitions. How can he be so selfish and heartless as to destroy nigeria the way he has. I'm really having cold feet over this. If we continue at this rate, Nigeria might disintegrate in the next 3yrs instead of the predicted 15yrs. Other countries talk about their IT technology improvement but all you can see in nigerian newspapers are: "Me step down? NEVER!" Or "The April polls is a doe or die affair" Everyone is interested in ruling and remaining in office till they develop wrinkled asses. They have all lost sight of their goals (To Serve and Protect)


This is really sad!

There is absolutely no allegiance to the country from the presidency downward. OBJ want loyalty from his cabinet. Can baba swear he has always been loyal to the Constitution of Nigeria. If he has, how did Stella and the Abebe family come into so much money during baba first term. there so much madness going in Naja and everyone is a crook as far as i am concerned

Once again, the code of conduct law states that all public servants must declare their assets, what Kalu needs do is to go to Code of Conduct Bureau and ask for a copy if Ribadu didnt declare it legal proceedings should be comenced against him, people have the eroneos impression that its only the politicians that law says must declare assets thats not true.

Did Kalu declare his own assets? i dont mean those one he declared recently and backdated the date to make it look like he had his recently acquired assets b4 1999?

i think the problem in nairaland is that it is classless and anyone here quotes and interprete the laws to suit his purpose.
to be in any public office, elected, appointed or selected, you should let us know what you have before you start and tell us what you have as you leave.
the bamiyis, mustaphas etc were once the ribadu of our time but where are they now? lions can wear sheeps' skin in deciept but no one has concluded such for ribadu but what we are saying here is since he can find out officials who buy properties and have assets anywhere in the world, some other people can as well tell nigerians that so so so house situated in no 25 crazy street in london is his and investigation follows.
in the case of atiku, he accepts been a criminal but says he is not alone, so if we have real justice, we will use atiku to nail them all including our dear obj who is a senior partner in crime but it is obj and ribadu here diverting ppl's attention by shout at the top of their voices about atiku.
in each list, atiku and kalu top the list, can't we ask why?what happens to bode george, andy uba and tony annenih?
is it not obvious that atiku's case of criminality originated from the campeign days which has everything to do with obj.
the latest fall out is between obj and the party cahirman so we are expecting the cahirman's name in the next edition of the corruption list since he has decided to dare the only obj.
why is that all terrorists, criminals and corrupt people in nigeria are anti obj?
what happened to all the governors supporting obj's moves top among them is odili? they are all not corrupt including the imo state governor.
if orji uzo is corrupt because he diverted the state's funds into his personal accounts, what about the other governors who did not divert public funds? where did they keep the money? how many of them made heaven out of their states?
we cannot remain blind, we have to use our initiatives sometimes.
let us know how come a president becomes the most prospective business man while in office. tell us how a presiden was at the same time minister of petrolium and nobody asked why for seven and half yrs. who is here to tell me there are no specialists in the field.
now pdp chairman is saying the obj has her daughter as pdp flag bearer so his wife must be one so winning election is not the case but interest and nobody believes that money exchanges hands here and efcc do not care about how all these things are been made possible.
inec machines in adedibu's house. nobody is asking why. is it not obvious here that inec has something to do with the machines in adedibu's house or does money not play a role? will it be wise if someone says that there is a financial crime here? whose area of jusridcition is it? why will a rigged election produce a geneune leadership? when chris uba rigged anambra election and confessed to that, is it not obvious that there was a financial crime? what happened to him. self confessed criminals parade themselves as leaders while outspoken leaders are been harassed on daily bases.
if mustapha could tell nigerians in the oputa panel the selction of obj and atiku could say how the 2003 re-election was manipulated, what else is impossible with obj?
obj, ribadu and their groups are all deciepts and should leave the innocent citizens alone. they should be ashamed of theirselves. people with personalities who are not ready for a hide and seek game will honourably resign from this stinking administration like the wonder woman( okonjo Iweala) did. she showed nigerian what politics ought to be. coming when we needed her most and resigned honourably because she could not play along.
imagine a pdp headed by the likes of obj, adedibu, chris uba, andy uba, tony annenih, bode george presenting us with list of corrupt officials and we seat here to debate on it.
senate is not comfortable with the list and its manipulations. the judiciary is saying a different thing and obj and his group is saying a different thing. who can be more corrupt than the few mentioned day light criminals with the worst political records?
a financial crime that does not arrest or find any reason to arrest babangida is nothing less than a decorated idiot as abacha was the only past military president worthy of persecution. ribadu should be mearnt to understand that we have been foolled enough. let him excercise his intell9igence in carrying out the duties or resign because it is obvious here that he is not getting the free hands he wants and not resigning means he has decided to play along.

Kalu has not told Nigerians what his problem with Ribadu actually is. I strongly believe it is beyond declearation of Asset

@chidichris

I cant agree less, you gave a detailed analysis. Thanks guy

@ SPADE,I TOTALLY AGREE WIT U, NIGERIA IS BECOMIN SMTHG ELSE,IF A WHOLE PRESIDENT CAN USE     SUCH derogatory TERMS ON NATIONAL DAILIES THEN IT'S SUCH A SHAME AND A PITY, WELL,LETS SEE WHERE IT ALL LEADS TO, SHEBI NA APRIL, WE DEY NOW!!

            @ ezeking  NICE ONE!! i was posted to Abia State, Aba North to be precise and oh ma GOSH,  i cudnt spend a month not to talk of d whole service year in Abia STate, that place is hell, Umuahia as d state capital is a bit better but nothing compared to what it should be if the gov spends d state funds where they should be spent, anyways, am happy am not frm that place,because God knows I wouldnt dream of visiting ma place.

As much as I appreciate El-Ruffai, I still think it makes sense for him to declare his assets, How do we know he is not getting returns as some police DPOs on a daily basis, The guy na police man b4 o!

I look at what we type here and I pity for Nigeria and Nigerians. Kalu just like many other Nigerian Governors have done nothing other than embezzle, embezzle, embezzle. Instead of thinking of how to change the system we are busy encouraging a fraudstar to attack a Ribadu who is trying to change our values and system. Meanwhile while we are trying to pull Ribadu down what hope for common Nigerians, Ribadu should declare his assets or maybe battle for his credibility and I now ask. What is more important Ribadu's show of credibility or stopping corrupt politicians who are depriving millions of Nigerians the right to good life??

I am sorry no matter how comfortable any person thinks they are we all have a common stigma haunting us. Our country which is naturally so rich is just very poor because of corruption and we are so happy pleading with the whiteman to live in their country with some of us engaging in all sorts of jobs that whitemen have refused to take up even with our degrees. I don't care what people's immigration status are in UK or US but the fact remains that at least 90% of Nigerians leave because of the sorry state of our country. Dont tell me you were born there because if that is the case at some point your parents pleaded to live there so its all the same thing.

Go to Aba and see if Orji is a man to be taken seriously. We have a difficult situation that requires peculiar solution and people are happy to attack Ribadu's character who is trying to make  difference quoting all sorts of unnecessary law. What moral right does a man who have desecrated the constitution of the land by embezzling public fund to qoute that same constitution.

People please lets treat some of these issues seriously, generations before us have failed us but we can change our children's destiny.

What is the big deal?

Declare your assets!

People should stop making noise, forget where the request is coming from and encourage this cat to immediately come out and show Nigerians that he has nothing to hide.
