netotse: Okay my brother . I get your drift. In any case, you are a highly gracious individual. I can appreciate that. I will never tell you that Ribadu is the complete item or that we do not have better leaders than him in Nigeria. I just think that for now , and considering those who are contesting, he is the best candidate with a realistic chance of deposing the PDP , and moving us on the path of sustainable progress, if he gets the support he needs. Like I said before, Ribadu is like an OBJ without the lack of sincerity and crass materialism. That is the leader Nigeria needs for now. With GEJ we would simply gain a President who would convene good initiatives , like the NIPP scheme, only for those who 'helped' him win to cynically hijack good intentions for self-aggrandizement to the detriment of Nigeria . It is the 'Nigerian' way and we must put an end to it by not casting our votes for those who only know how to use supreme executive powers to enrich friends, family, endorsers, and political associates.The less said about IBB and Atiku the better. Gusau and Saraki do not really stand a chance IMO. Buhari , to me , is probably an older and wiser Ribadu but does he have the cross-sectional appeal of Ribadu? |

Gbawe: my brother, i see your point but i am still not impressed with that interview. the fact that GEJ et al are bad does not mean that we need to gloss over the fact that Nuhu seems ill prepared. GEJ is no bench mark as in sane societies, men like him would not aspire for anything beyond a local government chairman. the fact that this country has to stumble through his uncoordinated,inept and corrupt presidency is one of the greatest tragedies of our time. I would vote in this election and had considered voting for Nuhu but after reading that interview, i am perplexed. while you say Nuhu has the good qualities of OBJ, what about the bad qualities of Nuhu. I do not doubt his courage but he seems ill prepared for this journey. he has not been able to win me over his comments so far. |

Gbawe: I don't see how any of the bits you highlighted makes it any less embarrassing. The 5,000 police claim was a very poor exageration to make. Ribadu is going to be explaining and re-explaining it for a very long time. That, though is not his only careless statement. I watched an interview where he really fidgetted when asked about how he could convict someone, declare that person to be Nigeria's most corrupt (Bola Tinubu). . . Only to turn round and accept that person as his political sponsor. Ribadu's reply was that he didn't care who sponsored him or were the money was coming from. ![]() As I say, I like Ribadu, but he just isn't ready. He will only keep shoving his foot in his mouth until the elections come and go and it is too late. I'll advise he gets a sit in the senate for 4 years at least to get a grooming, because public life is totally different from the command culture he is used to. |
Re: Gej, You Can Still Redeem Yourself by 9ijaMan: 5:56pm On Oct 08, 2010 |
Gbawe: @Gbawe, Ribadu doesn't even have the support of his base, the North. Most of the qualities you described to support Ribadu, in my humbled opinion, in addition to so many other qualities wil be found in the person of BUHARI. Buhari held several positions and still came out unscathed. He was petroleum minister under OBJ, Head of state, and head of PTF under Abacha, yet placing Ribadu side by side with Buhari is like comparing a toddler to a full grown adult. Despite all these years of service in the part of Buhari, he's still upright. BEAF/FAEB, I would expect you to comment, but do not forget that your GEJ has also spoken well of Buhari's qualities. Give it a good thought b4 you post. |

[size=14pt]Shagari’s regime (1979-1983), incurred Buhari’s wrath when it decided to investigate the US$2.8 billion that disappeared from the Midland Bank, London account of the Nigerian National Petroleum Cooperation, (NNPC), during General Obasanjo’s era as military head of state that preceded Shagari’s. Dr. Olusola Saraki, Turaki of Ilorin, was the majority party leader of the Senate at the time and he headed the Senate Committee set up to trace the stolen money after some three years of clamour for such an investigation by members of the civil society. The money was traced to the Midland Bank London branch fixed account of Obasanjo’s appointee as military head of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company. The Committee’s report was presented to the Senate during the tail end of Shagari’s regime in 1983, so the House decided to deal with the matter and expose the rogue military head of the NNPC soon after the 1983 general elections.

[b][size=14pt]On the 31st December, 1983, Buhari struck under the cover of the political commotion that trailed the presidential election results. Buhari generally had no agenda for leadership but vendetta against those he called critics and rabble-rousers. Buhari did not see any moral wrong in his conversion of our oil money into his personal use. Rather he railed at the press and what he described as the self-righteous sections of the country for making a big deal out of the issue. He locked up without trial, politicians and critics including Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, notorious for clamouring for the exposure of the oil money rogue. Satire saved my neck at the time. Vera Ifudu, who was an NTA reporter then, was sacked through his prodding as military ruler, for reporting what Dr. Olusola Saraki had told her in an interview about how the missing money was traced to Buhari’s account at a Midland Bank London branch. Vera eventually won her case of wrongful dismissal in court against the NTA and was financially compensated.[/size][/b] http://thewillnigeria.com/opinion/4382-ALL-NIGERIAN-COUP-GENERALS-WERE-ROGUES-AND-GENERAL-MUHAMMADU-BUHARI-WAS-EXCEPTION.html www.nairaland.com/attachments/180447_ROTFLMAO_gif3d0c775232c7f27cf80592785b9635b6 |
Re: Gej, You Can Still Redeem Yourself by Faeb: 6:34pm On Oct 08, 2010 |
Buhari’s ‘War Against Indiscipline’ was obviously a swathe to camouflage his moral decadence. He did not see anything wrong with the over 50 suitcases an Emir smuggled through the Murtala International Airport without routine checks. http://thewillnigeria.com/opinion/4382-ALL-NIGERIAN-COUP-GENERALS-WERE-ROGUES-AND-GENERAL-MUHAMMADU-BUHARI-WAS-EXCEPTION.html www.nairaland.com/attachments/180447_ROTFLMAO_gif3d0c775232c7f27cf80592785b9635b6 |

He almost succeeded in launching his Jihad. The alleged taped sermon of an unnamed pastor at an unidentified church in Adamawa claiming that: “Whether Muslims like it or not, Obasanjo must continue” and that “any Muslim who does not want that, can die or move to Niger” was obviously a blatant forgery. It was very likely to be the handiwork of the ‘Crater of Dikko brigade. For a start, the language of the sermon was too brash to be true, especially coming as it was claimed, from a Christian minority likely to bear the brunt of the consequences of the offensive sermon in a predominantly Muslim state. The Christian minority would have had to be mad to the last man, to call for their own annihilation in such a careless and irresponsible manner. http://thewillnigeria.com/opinion/4382-ALL-NIGERIAN-COUP-GENERALS-WERE-ROGUES-AND-GENERAL-MUHAMMADU-BUHARI-WAS-EXCEPTION.html www.nairaland.com/attachments/180447_ROTFLMAO_gif3d0c775232c7f27cf80592785b9635b6 |
Re: Gej, You Can Still Redeem Yourself by Faeb: 6:40pm On Oct 08, 2010 |
Sam Omatseye, writing about Buhari in the Sun newspaper at the time said: “He (Buhari) uses Sharia to justify his worldview; to justify a certain selfish view of the world that serves his interest at a particular time. He played that card in the presidential election in order to secure a base for himself. But he needed more than his northern base to become president. You must be flexible to pull non-sharia base with you and the man has no flexibility in his bones so when he tries to play the chameleon, he fails. He tries to carry a veneer of a man of principles but falls short when selfish interest is involved.” http://thewillnigeria.com/opinion/4382-ALL-NIGERIAN-COUP-GENERALS-WERE-ROGUES-AND-GENERAL-MUHAMMADU-BUHARI-WAS-EXCEPTION.html www.nairaland.com/attachments/180447_ROTFLMAO_gif3d0c775232c7f27cf80592785b9635b6 |

Buhari's PTF. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() [size=14pt]Everybody in Nigeria knew that Abacha was an usurper, and that he was uncontrollably corrupt and was also involved in state sponsored murder, but Buhari who you paint in such glowing colours, still agreed to serve under such a man as the chairman of PTF. As chairman of PTF, he made Salihijo Ahmad's Afriproject the sole consultant for monitoring and assessing the value of contracts. Afriproject consortium was so corrupt that at the inception of Abdulsalami's regime, fearful of exposure, the sole consultant committed suicide in his office. When the books of PTF were opened, the can of worms was so much that Haruna Adamu said he felt sickened by it. One body determined the contracts to be awarded, the payments to be made and whether the contracts had been satisfied.[/size] http://www.nigeriavillagesquare.com/articles/guest-articles/of-obasanjo-babangida-buhari-and-misrepresentation.html www.nairaland.com/attachments/180447_ROTFLMAO_gif3d0c775232c7f27cf80592785b9635b6 |

Re: Gej, You Can Still Redeem Yourself by Gbawe: 7:00pm On Oct 08, 2010 |
mbulela: To be honest , it is not the best interview Ribadu has given or will ever give. Nonetheless there is still a lot of positives to glean from the interview. Perhaps some folks who had prior issues with Ribadu will use this interview alone to judge him but that would not be fair IMO. We must look at Ribadu's entire career that makes him the most suitable of all those soliciting our votes . We don't need a rocket scientist or an economic guru as our President at this point in time . Let us not pretend as if our Nation is the USA or the UK. we are nowhere near the level of[b] institutional maturity [/b] of those nations and it is totally senseless to dream about the idealistic candidate when , for example , in wartime Britain, Winston Churchill was the man for the job. We need someone who will bring back sanity to leadership in Nigeria with a robust fight against corruption and an ability to protect , rather than hound, the technocratic experts who can move us forward . I would vote in this election and had considered voting for Nuhu but after reading that interview, i am perplexed. It is harsh to judge Ribadu on one interview alone when you can look at his record , as a servant of Nigeria, and stand it side by side with those of others who want to be President next year. What was Jonathan's record as Deputy Governor and Governor of Bayelsa? What is his record as incumbent President when several failures and many errors of judgement as President already glaringly show how Jonathan is not up to the job? How about IBB who cannot even go to certain parts of Nigeria to meet the electorate he wants to lead face to face? Atiku? Pullleeeze !!!! Give me a break!!! Gusau? Classic AGIP been there done that with no new ideas to offer. Saraki? The king of patronage politics of 'settling'? Another GEJ who believes in 'carrying everyone along' at Nigeria's expense !!!! Ribadu is the best candidate for the pragmatic Nigerian IMO. I respect Buhari and would probably vote for him if I thought , all things factored in , he can oust the PDP but we should all do some research into the efforts needed to make Ribadu a winner compared to the many obstacles that must be surmounted to make Buhari President . Folks should also look at how the most progressives Nigerians are behind Ribadu to understand that he has the support of those who will mobilise support for a candidate on ideolgical belief alone. |
