Pioneer Chairman of the Economic and
Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Malam Nuhu Ribadu reiterated his
earlier statement that Nigeria is like a sinking ship because of
corruption, insecurity, injustice and wanton killings of people.
Ribadu who spoke to the British Broadcasting Commission, BBC, Hausa Service, lamented the present situation in the country which he said has never been this bad since independence.
Ribadu’s latest comment might elicit another round of rebuke from the presidency which had only just recently described him as “ethically challenged and a political prostitute” for expressing similar view points at a public lecture organised by the Students Representative Assembly of the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria.
“Go to the airport and see how many private
jets are parked – there are 400 private jets standing from here (Abuja)
to Lagos. Each of these jets cost the owner $10m, $20m, $30m to $50m and
the cost of one jet can build a university, big hospital. But many
people have it. Our leaders today are no longer using chartered flights
because each of them uses his own. We never experienced this before. We
are blessed with wealth but the money never goes to the common people.
The only solution is for leaders to fear God and do justice,” he said.

In the BBC interview, Ribadu was quoted as
saying, “We have never found ourselves in such situation, considering
the level of blood shed. Some places are under emergency rule, crises in
other places, level of poverty, injustice and corruption. I do not
thought (sic) it will ever happen in Nigeria the way it is happening in
the last two years.

Ribadu should be sincere in his uterances. What is d countrys crisis compared to d genocide and d civil war against the igbos in d late sixties? We should exaggerate things for personal interest.
