NUHU RIBADU'S DEMOTION

During the week,the Nigeria's former anti-corruption czar Mallam Nuhu Ribadu was demoted from the rant of Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) to a Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) by the Police Service Commission,a step that is three times below his level.
What do U think is responsible for this action?Do u think some powerful bad people are trying to get back at him?Or is the IG & his boys trying to force the young man out of the force?Let's get ur take on this.

if i say i am surprised ,i wont be telling u d truth.those of us that saw it coming and were arguing it out many months ago were told that nigeria is now beyond that era ,but c wats happening .is there a future 4 d anti-corruption war? NO not with this kind of thing happening..................zie

the drama is still unfolding?
give me a break. u know wats gonna unfold.
i can give u d statistics of poeple in both the public and private sector dat got vindicated after similar scandals,
i tell u brother ;its not encouraging. we r good @ letting things be good or bad.

I think this is one issue where we are allowing sentiments 2 over-cloud our sense of reason.We should take time to ask our self some questions.
1.Was Ribadu's accelerated promotion under OBJ in line with the Due process?
2.Are there other very effective persons in the force who were not promoted @ the time our friend was getting his promotion?
3.Was Ribadu supposed 2 be an AIG without the necessary training for that position?
4.Was he the only person that was demoted.& finally
5.Why was he demoted?
I do not think Ribadu is a saint.Yes he achieved a great deal as EFCC boss.However,if we consider the above questions and some more,I think we'll be in a better position 2 discuss this.If Ribadu is not supposed to occupy the rank he was occupying,then,I dont ve a problem ith his demotion.U cannot destroy a whole system because of one man.There was the NPF before Ribadu.& it ll be there far after him.

they sure gave some silly excuses...and it was mass demotion i think..ve got to confirm for real..didnt put much mind to it cause i's pissed when i heard it.

I think,ordinarily,resignation would ve being the honorable thing to do.However,that's exactly what those behind the scene want him to do.So,I guess,he's not ready to give them the pleasure.To prove my point,last Friday,they promoted some of those officers that were demoted with him.However,his name was not on the list.

It's simple.The NPF promotes its men on the basis of seniority & not merit.Ribadu is number 2000 in the List of DCPs in the Force.Therefore,his superiors ve to get promotion before him.Pls do note that this explanation is the fact on the ground.This is the basis of the demotion in the first place.This is what the rules state.Now the question we will now ve to ask ourselves is:how fair are these RULES?How do they contribute to the overall development of the force,in terms of motivating officers to pursue excellence,which will in turn,lead to efficiency & effectiveness in crime fighting?

These are the pertinent questions.If we are talking about the rule of law,we should also talk about the fairness of these laws that are suppose to RULE.If they are draconian in nature,then the Rule of Law is injustice.

As for Farida(I love her name.lolz)she's on her own.She must ve to earn our truth and support.Also,it should be noted that their cases ain't similar.Ribadu is a serving officer,while Waziri is already retired before she was offered the job.So they are in different pedestrians.
