Default Re: A Country And Its Strange Citizens



If Ribadu is outraged by the inability of Nigerians to take on corrupt leaders to the extent of making a big issue out of it , then he should be outraged with himself too for his consistent double standards in fighting corruption which only reveals his romance with cowardice!
why is it that Ribadu should be busy arresting and re arresting a common thief like Nwude while he couldnt hold mega looter like Mohammed Babangida over night inspite of all the facts indicting the young IBB at his disposal?
why is it that Babangida walks around freely today while the EFCC whines about fighting corruption?is he also protected by the immunity clause?
Why is it that the Abachas, the Abdulsalamis, the Fasawes, the Ubas the Anenihs, dictate what happens in a Nigeria in which Ribadu has been given all the constitutional powers he needs to fight corruption??? Even when terrorist like Chris Uba confessed to corrupt practices and rigging election openly, where was Ribadus much publicised power to demystify the mighty??
While those who are less powerfull and less connected will die is his prisons, daddys son Mohammed will be gleefully released to the gap toothed devil from Minna....If there is anything striking about Ribadu , it is his ability to deceive a lot of Nigerians with his endless threats to arrest those he very much know he will never touch and not his willingness to do so..In Nigeria , he has the constitutional duty to take on corrupt citizens , if there is any impediment on his way , he should either explain this to Nigerians or resign!!! We dont need to send, an over traumatised, hungry and suffering market women to the streets to be wasted like in Odi and Zaki Biam(go to read Uche Nworahs recent article) in a bid to catch an Anenih , Wabara and all others with their "come and chop" mentality to governance....In any event executive looting in Nigeria has been tribalised..Those you expect to revolt will be those voting in people to go and "loot their on share "from the national treasury...One writer on a recent article about the Niger Delta captured the situation aptly: there seems to exist the intention to loot quickly as much as possible from the booty before anything happens.....That in essence shows that a disbelieve on Nigerias future maybe one of the instigating factors encouraging these exeecuthieves to loot blindly afterall Nigeria is the sweat of their fights!
