In an interview with NAN, Nuhu Ribadu said it was not possible to have such a huge amount of money go missing in an office she assumed about three to four years ago...
"I was baffled and got deluded for anyone to say that N30 trillion got lost. I think we just have to look at what we earn as a country and what our budget had been in these few years and see how possible it is. If everything we earned is not up to that within the period she has been the minister, which is about three to four years, then we need to be careful. We need to be careful to avoid more damage to our nation, because there are certain things that when it comes out, it will never go back again.".Mr Ribadu argued that the Minister of Finance has an impeccable record having monitored her while she was minister under Former President Olusegun Obasanjo
"I challenge anybody to say that she stole N1 at that time; we were all there. I was in charge of EFCC and I want to hear anybody say that she did this and that. I followed her up till now. I think it is somehow uncharitable for someone to come out to say that such an amount of money was missing under her watch. When I worked with her, she exhibited a nationalistic attitude that was not questionable and believed in any policy that could take Nigeria and its people high. I am close to almost all of us that worked together as a team and I know that Ngozi continues to do what she knows how best to do, which is to serve Nigeria. She managed this economy fairly in spite of all the challenges and difficulties; it is sad for someone to look at Ngozi and said that she has a hand in it (alleged missing funds). This pull-down syndrome has to stop and we must manage ourselves very well; I am not happy now with what is going on and I think that if it is politics, I think it is something that is hurting us as people and hurting the economy as well,” he said.Credit NAN/Tribune

Voltron, defender of the universe! Of course N30trn can go missing under her, what rubbish is he saying?!!
After much review and series of inner carcus meetings, here is this one with his own verdict.. who is actually deceiving who? Matt 7:16. @Bishop_Dammy
People do change Mr ribadu most especially when you find urself in the midst of stealers who doesn't see it as corruption. Anything can happen.
Rousing recommendation and from no other than the impeccable Nuhu Ribadu.

Before nko wat will u say, birds of same feathers
what abt the $20billion dt got missing? we talking abt wrong decisions made by dt madam nd her team dts killing our economy
Nuhu, your mathematics is very poor or you don't read. The woman admitted that about 400,000 barrels of crude is being stolen everyday in Nigeria. If you multiply is then you have close to the 30thrillion. If you then add the alleged NNPC missing funds that she also agreed was missing, add a rough estimate. Then you get the 30thrillion. Nuhu, behave and face your campaign. Otunba
A lot of things are not been put place. We need to know what's happening
Hmmmmmmm!!!
~@iamjbankz SA to President Jonathan 2015~
well i believe those figures only exist in soludo's mind.i never believed him.but i must have to accept that there are fact in his article that madam need to address.
Some people are just credible. And Ezekwesili would come out and say shit because of envy.
Busy Fingers.
Okay o!
What about other things soludo accused her of????....we know he exaggerated about the 30trillion...he didn't accuse her oF theft..he only said it was mismanaged under her watch.... Ribadu plz read b4 u comment.."Lol"
Yeah he's right because madam gave him , his own lion share....

Well said but only God knows who and who is saying the truth
The idiots are so dumb that they can't even check to see if their lies add up. They just assume Nigerians are fools and wouldn't check if these ridiculous Allegations are true.
Nuhu Ribadu defending iyaonigele now.. Politics in Nigeria assume me. May God save us all from all ths greedy perverts we call leaders.
Good morning Pple. Why won't he defend her, is nt partner in crime?

Shut the fuck up, you imbecile, we've see your true colour
Good morning Pple. Why won't he defend her, is she nt partner in crime?
A Lot of people will definitely want to pull her down. From what ribadu said, there is no way that amt can be missing within four yrs. How much r we worth
At least we still have sane people in this country. Saying his mind without accusing or cursing some one. Weld one Nuhu.
Why won't he support her
Shey he has changed to pdp now and you're now under jonathan's wing why won't you support her, she is under jonathan too
so how come she couldnt defend the extra account allegedly opened for transfer and receiving of funds on behalf of the government? she said she had no idea such account existed until it was mentioned. The money might not be up to that but all these people are thieves!
Nuhu... Or what they called u... Why won't u defend her cos u hv joined them.. You should therefore give us facts that no money is missing....as soludo did.
If this Nuhu Ribadu,can,share the same political platform with Bode George, Alameseigha, Buriji kashamu then anything is possible.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
The Woman has a lot of reputation to protect than steal 30TR seriously soludo should get his facts right.....
Alhaji Nuhu, allow her to defend herself on this. there might be a lot that you don't know yourself.
what you must agree though is that GEJ and his government are the most corrupt that Nigeria has ever had.
Thats a huge and outrageous sum of money

Professor Soludo never alluded to any direct stealing by Dr Okonjo Iweala but that She has supervised the mismanagement and/or stealing of about N30trillion .The exchange rate today is N210=$1.00. There has been significant theft and leakages of our national patrimony by the officials of Government.Dr Okonjo Iweala is still the Coordinator of the National Economy, the bucks stops relatively on her table.
Awwww
then how come? insanity
they keep defending themselves
#commenting thru Glo 4G LTE
I love and respect this woman
Alot of analysis...,
Who then is saying the #Truth.
Hope he reads this comment. Ribadu, i am very well aware that you collected bribes totalling millions of US Dollars from Peter Odili. Let me refresh ur memories. Former speaker Masari collected the cash from Portharcourt n deliver it to you in Abuja. I won't write the date bt u knw. There are other cases i don't know but Dude is as corrupt as the come. Shameless man. Time will expose u all as Naija peeps dey tear eye everyday.
God will punish u all for stealing our money
Nuhu Ribadu should shut up and let Madam speak for herself. I lost all respect for this man since the day he joined PDP. Speaking with arrogance and cockiness as if he knows it all. He has now been infected with the PDP corruption syndrome.
Well said

Ribadu tell them o.
Soludo is drunk and spinning out of control, reeling from all the innocent blood that flowed in the stock market when he was regulating. People died from heartbreak, stroke, some committed suicide. Then he sauntered away as if nothing happened. AMCON is a monument in Soludo's memory, it was created just to clean his mess. No public officer ever made such a mess of things that a huge institution has to be created just to clean up after him. People may be too beaten down to cry out about what they are STILL going through, but the blood of the dead ones stinks. And Karma bites. Soludo needs God now, not a political appointment.

God bless you Nuhu Ribadu for speaking the truth. It is politics and every discerning Nigerian knows that Soludo is looking for a job but he has only dug his grave deeper
I would like the honest Nuhu Ribadu to publish the file on Soludo because he still has a case with EFCC
What do u expect him to say before...rbsh
Nuhu Ribadu has always been a man of integrity and I believe him. Soludo is a disgrace. How a man like Soludo will descend so low all to server the master of his soul, Obasanjo, is a shame to the south east and south south.
Simple reasoning by Nuhu Ribadu trumps the so called economist Soludo. how can an amount of money never earned be missing? Oya Soludo answer. Yeye man.

Mallam, times have changed, true she was not corrupt during your time at Efcc, but Jonathan's government is so corrupt that it can corrupt a even a saint.
You this traitor!!!
Nuhu Ribadu just made me believe that it is possible in Nigeria to live in peace Christians and Moslems, north and south. The truth is coming from a northerner for a woman from the south. He could have chosen to keep quiet to play politics but he spoke up because the truth is what Hod honours. Shame on Soludo.

I nw undastand u nuhu,u av collected ur own share abi,all of u re in trouble if GMB becomes NIGERIA president n i tell u dat he is d Next President come may 29 2015
Nuhu Ribadu is indeed a patriotic Nigerian. He is speaking up for someone who is not from his ethnic group or his region. He could have chosen to keep quiet and play the politics of silence but no. It is people like OkonjoIweala and Nuhu Ribadu that can be used by God to build a Nigeria where everyone lives in peace and competence is regarded not reviled.
All I can say is shame on Soludo. He is really 'suffering from 'pull him down' syndrome. The fact that Solduo could open his mouth and say anyone could have got debt relief just made me lose all respect for him. He is a very bitter jealous man and he is finished,
Shame on Soludo.
Ribadu is also a thief. He was once said JEG was corrupt but today,his is singing another song already.
Look at how Soludo and Oby are disgracing themselves to serve master Obasanjo.

Some people will soon abuse Nuhu Ribadu the best EFCC chairman that Nigeria had. But for me, all I can say is that he has quite simply made jealousy ridden Soludo look stupid. How can an amount not earned be lost or stolen or missing? This is so shameful for Soludo. Maybe he will write another long jargon abusing Nuhu this time but I suspect he won't because his EFCC files are still open.

This man Anuli Ribadu just impressed me.
I suppport him wit dis point of his...
"We need to be careful to avoid more damage to our nation, because there are certain things that when it comes out, it will never go back again.".
I hope Boko Haram does not go after him for daring to speak the truth and stand up for OkonjoIweala and Nigeria. You know these people are mad.
Nuhu Ribadu remains a person of integrity. I admire him.
OkonjoIweala did not bother responding to Soludo's idiotic comments and it is clear from Nuhu Ribadu's comment that Soludo is now a shadow of himself. He is now the fraudulent economist. How sad. All because a man worships another like god...Soludo worships Obasanjo and whatever pleases Obasanjo Soludo will do even to the extent of incurring evil for his hose by lying. What a shame.
Well articulated. Let us see if Mr writer, Soludo will now say Nuhu Ribadu is keeping 15 trillion of the 30 trillion. The best way to describe Soludo is lost.
If more people spoke up for truth and good Nigeria will move forward, this statement by Nuhu Ribadu has just earned him more points with me.
wait did he just call himself deluded?
we ve heard.tomjerryswit
Only God knows the truth..
Mallam, true she was not corrupt during your time, the problem Ngo baby has is allowing herself to be used by coconut head & corruption brain Jonathan, Gej govt is so corrupt that it can corrupt an unborn child. FeBuhari!
Did Nuhu ribadu read soludos write up and follow his line of thought that lead to the conclusion that 30trillion is missing under Ngozi Iwaelas watch. Please mallam go and read again so you can understand instead of trying to tell us what is not. And pleasde save all that 1 naira story for the birds as you were known as EFCC chairman to have given girls as gift in abuja millions of Naira. How much was your salary as EFCC chairman.PLS
If u can't beat them, u join them.
I love dis woman so much...she should b d envy of oda women
The saying "when the head is weak,the body acts unruly" is very true and Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has proven that. Under a "no-nonsense" president Obasanjo,Ngozi was a great force to reckon with but clueless president Jonathan, she has performed so terribly. I wonder sometimes if it's the same Ngozi.
Soludo is like an uncle to me and all. But the truth about this is that his a complete loser. From the moment he left his field down to our Anambra state politics. He failed. 30t ko 30tr ni. And our budget is 4. something trillion. Sanusi u are the problem in this case. Engr Emy
Ehyahhh. What a recommendation. He totally vindicated her.
uhmmmmm... whether politics or not... you yeye people will continue to expose yourselves..

coming from a PDP governorship candidate? We hear you
Nuhu Ribadu now defends Okonjo! Na wa o
Has this guy been in this country kua? Mallam Ribadu, I understand u trying to defend ur new oga but every Nigerian knows that over $20billion dollars got missing and still unaccounted for.
Pls use ur phone calculator to convert that to Naira.
Na so person dey take join the bad wagon
This.idiot has sold himself to d devil. Ewu gambia!!
Correct talk. this man thinks right, we are only hurting ourselves by pulling each other down.
I think Mr Nuhu Ribadu is self delude and out of touch with reality and about to destroy the legacy he laboured to build. Professor Charles Soludo gave reasons and evidence for every statement made in his article. Let's quit playing my games and address the pertinent issues. NOI refused to answer the questions put to her. The records are there, very clear and precise.
He further challenged her for a debate. Let her agree to a debate sir. The man said he would fly into Nigeria at his own cost.
Nuhu you are just saying what you know then, how about now. You cant be too sure. Cause Soludo didnt say she stole the money but the money was missing under her watch.
Its been a long time since you were the EFCC helmsman. Anything can happen in Nigeria, Abeg wake up

A lot of changes must have taken place after you left EFCC, Ribadu.
The Okonjo you know then isnt the one you think you know now.
Forging reports to suit the international community is not fair.
If we have the fastest economy, how many Nigerians life have improved within the period of this wonderful claim by her

This bastard is a two face nigga!@ 2011,Mallam Nuhu Ribadu,during presidential campaign made it known to us that '' Jonathan is the most corrupt Nigerian i ever investigated while @ EFCC and his level of corruption even as deputy governor is just disturbing. PDP is just a disaster and a total failure. Change is the only panacea.'' Now he don change party and @ the same time change mouth...God punish all this evil politicians!
Exactly my point!!! Our National budget for the past 5 years do not even add up to N30Trillion talk less of the said money being missing. Once we let these people know that we are intelligent they'll STOP writing lies from the pit of hell just to bring people down. I love Naija!
Is that Ribadu? Devil is a liar. The man don chop the PDP witch and sounds so much like them now. what a shame! How are the mighty fallen?
Guyman lock up, u wan dey form defence unto u under PDP. Have got respect for you man, don't make me loose it. She wasent accuse of stealing the money, but the said fund is said to have been either misappropriated, stolen, unaccounted for. Etc and this is under her supervision.
Na una sabi... Both the truth nd the lie
Is this guy not contesting under PDP? There you have your answer
Why won't he support her
Bird of d same feather.
oh well, we've lost another one of our sane courageous patriot. I don't see how he'll say anything different since he is now in PDP. Don't know the facts but of course N30trn can go missing, not saying Okonjo had a hand in it but it sure can go missing, this is Nigeria we are talking about.
What do you expect from a cross carpeting defector formerly in APC...? A masquerade must dance to the drummers beat. Nuhu Ribadu is just being a PDP loyalist.
Will that earn him the Governorship of Adamawa...? Boko Haram will tell.
Impulse400
Ribadu has never been a straight forward man, when he was at EFCC , he was used to torment the opposition, now that he has become a politician under PDP, selfish interest has stepped in. He should shut up already. He lacks integrity. This same guy denied he once arrested madam patience for money laundering.
Okonjo is a confirmed corrupt officer. Ogbonge one for that matter. Sheep don waka with dog, sheep go chop shit.
Who be this fowl ni
Mr Ribadu abi waiting dem dey call u, what now happened to all d missing money, re those money growing wings ova night without ha seeing Dem, i cant blame u now, sebi u don join Dem, she's ministering a corrupt system of government who re ruining d nation wealth in2 downstream, i think she has been supporting Dem just to keep ha job.
Thank you sir Oga Nuhu Ribadu. This pull-down syndrome is so, so bad, evil and demonic. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, may God continue to strengthen you with the wisdom and grace required for your office.
True.
Game of politics....... Diz game staunch o no b moi moi
*oparoescalade*
30trillion????? Omo dis too much
Game of politics....... Diz game staunch o no b moi moi
*oparoescalade*
What is becoming of this nation is unspeakable.
I swear if he use hin phone calculator....the figures will be too much & will be out of range. Advise him to use a scientific calculator..lol
Make this idiots pack 4 one corner jorr,oloshi dem!
Mr. Ribadu even without you coming to Ngozi defense we already no that our brother Soludo is simply looking for another political appointment if not he wont come out from his shell now to bluff
Errr..."Ribs"...I'm sure everyone will agree NOI under OBJ is NOT the same NOI under GEJ! What happened to your? Sniffing that PDP stuff? Smh!
Hope tomorrow wont be another tale. Politicians and their Modus cant be trusted jor.
Salsa, you are the one that is paranoid and hence you sound stupid!
reading makes life easier. funny how people dont read before criticizing. peeps, please try read solludo's claim before concluding. and for your information, its 30trillion naira and not dollars.it might not be up to that ammount but we never can tell.
Ribadu..... I am dissapointed in your person.so you mean everyone is wrong about the several missed fund.....habaaaaaaa.even the international community......I hand you over to God.
Why can't Ngozi go into debate with Soludo? That would be the best solution and most viable platform for the individuals involved to prove their claims. Ribadu should take a seat, he does not have a business in the matter (at least for now)
@Bishop Dammy, u r very dull to say that, hw can u believe a woman of ngozi to be involve in anytin dat has to do wit stealing? Dats a woman I respest so much, a woman wit intergrity, soludo is attention seeker.
Don't mind the idiot that calls himself Soludo. This guy was almost a pauper before he was made governor of CB. Now he's is a billionaire ten times over and is playing political godfatherism. Where did he get all the money that he's throwing about? Obviously, he stole it while he was the CB governor. It saddens me that someone we held in high esteem later turned out to be a wolf in sheep clothing. Look at the mess he left in the banking sector that Sanusi had to clean. At times, I'm baffled by the temerity of some Nigerians, in a sane environment, people like Soludo will be hiding their faces in shame. He'd even had the effrontery to claim as his achievements things that Okonjo initiated and started. We, as Nigerians, should learn not to take out our frustrations on people that have nothing to do with it. Soludo has aspired since he left the CB to attain some political height, but has failed woefully. What he's doing now is taking out his frustrations on this administration in general, and Okonjo in particular. Meanwhile, since he was the person that laid his mat, no other person did, he should lie on it.

@anon1:37 what baffles me is how you can be so confident and bold in ignorance are u related to doyin okupe? D money went missin not that she stole all of it and if u made any attempt to read soludos article u ll know he said 24.2trn was due to crude vandalism and actually he got his statistics from her (ngozi iweala)article. #smh
Lol @anon3:44 u re just saying pure jargon loooool laughing so much I can't even bring myself to reply u reasonably. Rotfl chyke my guy!!!
its like u had a cut in that bar
Nuhu Ribadu and you (chyke) are empty headed fools. Go and read Charles Soludo's letter. He estimated money lost thru oil theft and other leakages, una go just de run mouth anyhow. Yeye
Mallam Ribadu, I am not surprised you are talking like this. You need to know that you are doing your personality and your future political ambitions a great harm with all these things you are doing and saying because they will later speak against you in the future. Be careful
No Blessing, Bishop is not dull,Nuhu is talking bullshit and who knows maybe he got his share...But you,my darling, is the dumb one here....You're so fucking stupid you've become delusional...Is Ngozi your mother?Or is she Mother Theresa that makes you believe she can't steal government funds? Everyone knows when she first came into the system she wasn't corrupt but now she's just as corrupt as the other Politicians...Please learn to educate yourself before you speak so proudly in your ignorance and foolishness#Now Seat down
