Injustice to one individual (whether you like him/her or not), is injustice to all. People at the helm of corruption (that Baba never liked) are now settling scores with Ribadu for exposing them to shame. It is a known fact that Ribadu (often times) over-riched and in an over-zealous way did not allow the rule of law to prevail in trying to get some of these dishonest rascals brought to justice. That in itself is not justification for the arm of justice not to prevail in his case. Two wrongs do not make a 'right'. 'The quality of the pudding is in the eating'. Let President Y'ar Adua show us all that he is serious about anti-graft (as I believe he is)by intervening (through his attorney-General who is sworn to the protection of not only the rule of law, but also the preservation of the human rights and dignity of Nigerian citizens and not just that of a privileged few. Ribadu (through the respect for his guaranteed constitutional rights as a Nigerian citizen) must be accorded that basic rights he often-times ignored to grant some of his victims. The President and the Attorney-General must act with reckless abandom to stop this mad,ruthless, reckless and uncivilized abuse of the law by Law-enforcement(I mean Law-abusing) 'Agents' just as they intervened in the case of Lyle Imoke. The civilized world is anxiously watching, my dear honorable President. I have always admired your honesty, integrity, and sincerity. You can not fail us now at this hour of reckoning. You owe this deed to not only Nigeria but also to the rest of the civilized community of nations to which this great nation of ours (called Nigeria - the Giant of Africa) subscribed to. And let this be a very eye-opening lesson for many of our very corrupt, reckless and wicked 'leaders' in power today that the law they abuse today, may hold the precedence (as always used in the court of civilized law)with which they may be wrongly convicted in the future when they are no longer in power. 'History is always the best teacher and always has a way of repeating itself'. Long live my President, Long live Nigeria!

King Yar and his minnows, a la, Woziri (Mrs. "Nobody can unseat me but Ribadu himself"), Andoaakaa, Okiro and all the fake Judges, etc, forgot to factor in that the 40-something year old Mr. Ribadu could be Nigeria's next President sooner than they think. They've just confirmed him as a Nigerian hero (that he has been since OBJ called him to power - the kind of positive power we need in Nigeria today) and it is our decision to make - in due time. Caveat: If anything untoward happens to Mr. Ribadu between now and then, we know who to hold responsible - ............the center WILLNOT not hold, as Achebe would say.
I am perfectly in support of NBA. The action of the Authority is very barbaric. This is not a credit to any process of demecracy. This kind of action is not only downgrading the process of democracy but in additon insulting its' highest authority, the President. I will however like to see the President's reaction. Thank you.
