Nuhu Ribadu "When you fight corruption, it fights back" at TEDxBerlinSalon "Leading in a complex World" (www.tedxberlin.de)
Nuhu Ribadu is founding chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the organization that changed the narrative of the fight against corruption and financial crimes in Nigeria.
The results of his work at the EFCC, most notable amongst which are the delisting of Nigeria from the FATF’s List of Non-Cooperative Countries & Territories, admission into the prestigious Egmont Group and the withdrawal of the US Treasury advisory on Nigeria by the FINCEN, were critical to the perception of Nigeria, globally. He had also attracted donor supports from European Union (EU), UNODC, UNDP, World Bank, and a host of others running into millions of US dollars, and also built an effective collaborative effort with the FBI, SOCA [UK], Metropolitan Police, Dutch Police, German Police, South African Police and a host of other law enforcement agencies in the world.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

A very confident and brave person to fight corruption in his own country. We never engage foreigners to clean our own back yard. A true Nigerian patriot!

Infobytes: In 2006, the then EFCC chairman, Nuhu Ribadu, listed 5 governors as the most corrupt, but they have since maintained influential positions: Bola Tinubu is President, Orji Kalu is a Senator, Ahmed Sani Yerima is a Senator, George Akume is a Senator and SGF, and Chimaroke Nnamani is a Senator. Ribadu, who failed to prosecute them, is now the National Security Adviser under Tinubu’s administration. Ribadu in the past, accused Tinubu of stealing 75% of Lagos state's resources during his tenure as governor. However, now Ribadu serves as National Security Adviser under Tinubu's administration, implying a shift from an anti-corruption stance to a compromised position. Ribadu was previously a pioneer chairperson of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and gained a reputation as a fearless anti-corruption crusader. However, his credibility was questioned when he delved into partisan politics and bonded with members of the elite he had previously criticized or prosecuted. He has shifted from his anti- corruption stance to a compromised position. His appointment as security adviser has sparked debate, with some seeing it as an attempt to legitimize an unpopular administration led by Tinubu. Ribadu faces significant challenges in addressing Nigeria's security issues, including armed non-state actors and multiple scandals within security agencies. Only time will tell if Ribadu can excel in his new role.

I'd like to go a little bit further to say that, both Ribadu and Sanusi should be governors of their respective states and after they have transformed and enriched the economies of their respective states, they should be voted in as President and vice President of Nigeria. It's such 'muslim-muslim' tickets that we want to see in Nigeria. These two men love their country and *all* its people.

Errrr what? You mean you want to watch a real documentary, on a highly specialist area of expertise and skill. Perhaps a behavioural scientist pro trainer, who knows how to think like the criminal network he is stalking! With a direct access to Interpol or MI5? With a limitless budget. And an enormous team of global elite forensic truth, seekers who cannot be bought off, scared off, bribed off, corrupted off? Or even blasted off! Why, would you ever want to watch that, when you could get 24/7 Daily Corona Virus Updates?

What is amazing is that religions use the same corrupt tactics and even the brightest are totally blind to their tactics! In Corrupt countries the best resume does not get you the job, the best product does not get you the contract - wait buddy, you have to go thru us - either you pay or must have the right connections to get what you want Religions say the same thing - you could be the greatest person in the world - a Gandhiji, a Buddha but wait buddy, you have to go thru us - only our God can get you Heaven, so first you must convert Works do not matter - all you have done in your life does not matter The only thing that matters is religion Just like the Corrupt people rig the system, religions also use the lure of Heaven to push conversions Corrupt religions dominate the world! They dominate because the moral, ethical, educated seem totally brainwashed by religion

When you work in an organisation that involves a lot of teams, I'd prefer you use "we" instead of "I". The EFCC staff who worked on the case will be happy if they heard "we" and have the feeling of inclusiveness in the story.

@ADE-of-LAGOS 4 жыл бұрын

It's one of the problems of institution building in Nigeria and most parts of Africa. Institutions tend to revolve around personality heading it. Though it should be pointed out that the agency succeeded mainly because he was the head. After he was removed, the agency "died" with limited successes.

The sad thing is, when James Ibori was released and deported back to Nigeria, he was given a heroes welcome in Delta State. People in his community said, "yes, we know he is a thief but, he's *our* thief".
