WHO SHOULD GO TO HELL - NUHU RIBADU OR CANADA?
National Security Adviser (NSA), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, on Thursday, 14th February 2025, told the Canadian High Commission in Nigeria “to go to hell” after its embassy , allegedly “denied” issuance of Visas to some Officers of Nigeria’s Military High Command, including the Chief of Defense Staff (CDS), Christopher Musa.
“Every disappointment is a blessing. Yesterday, I was meant to be in Canada. There’s an event to honor our veterans, those who were injured during battles and we were meant to be there, but here I am
That very undiplomatic outburst was Ribadu’s reaction to the alleged incident as related by the CDS, at the maiden annual lecture of the National Association of the Institute for Security Studies (AANISS), at which he was in attendance.
For flash anger to ignite the temperament of a high-ranking officer of his caliber in respect of an unresolved diplomatic engagement, speaks volumes of a flawed process through which he was initially recruited.
Such disrespectful vituperation against Canada, a Sovereign Nation which for decades had enjoyed cordial, diplomatic, military, economic and cultural relations with Nigeria, was most uncalled for!
And whereas it was yet to be ascertained that the entire Visa transaction was a “denial” because half of the Military Delegation were granted Visa and were already in Canada!
This development is a very clear exposure to the unpreparedness of successive Nigerian Presidents which We have elucidated in several past Editions of the Zion B-BC NEWSLETTER!
How can Alhaji Tinubu SADDLE A POLITICIAN with such an onerous, professional and strategic Office of National Security Adviser especially when Nigeria suffers negative International Index Tag of the “MOST INSECURE”, while thorough Defense Academy Generals are laid waste!
RIBADU throughout his Police career and even as the Economic Financial Crimes Commission’s helmsman, was never engaged in combatant activities – he did not even pass through the trenches of the Mobile Police Force Training Camps,!
He was an administrative officer all through and later joined the bandwagon of desperate POLITICAL JOBBERS since retirement!
OUR PAST CRITICISMS in respect of the fact that Ribadu was unfit and unworthy to occupy that strategic and very sensitive office have been proven correct!
Below are excerpts from Ribadu’s profile:
Ribadu (mni), is a Nigerian politician, barrister and retired police officer who is currently serving as the National Security Adviser to Nigerian President Bola Tinubu. Ribadu ran unsuccessfully for office of the President of Nigeria in 2011 having failed in his bid for the Adamawa Governorship seat on the platform of the Action Congress.
Born on 21st November 1960 in Yola, Adamawa State, he was educated at the Ahmadu Bello University, and The Nigerian Law School and currently a member of the ruling All Progressives Congress.
His father, Ahmadu Ribadu, was a First Republic Member of Parliament, and Ambassador to Niger, during the military regime of Muhammadu Buhari.
Political, religious and ethnic consideration had always played obnoxious roles in appointments to administrative positions in Nigeria – military or democratic.
It is on record that RIBADU is the first NSA without military training or background!
TINUBU’S ADMINISTRATION HAS WITNESSED THE WORST INSECURITY SCENARIO IN NIGERIA SINCE 1999!
Data shows 614,937 victims killed in Nigeria from insecurity in One Year.
National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), says deaths recorded from May 2023 to April 2024!
[Kabir Adeniyi -19.12.2024]
Nigeria Bureau of Statistics Report:
“Nigeria recorded more than 600,000 deaths from insecurity between May 2023 and April 2024, according to data by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).
The report, released late Wednesday (18th December 2024), with users having a difficult time accessing the website because of a hack, said no fewer than 614,937 people were killed nationwide as the banditry-ravaged northwest saw the highest figure with 206,030.
It was followed by the northeast with 188,992, while the least was recorded in the southwest at 15,693, according to the report.
“The report is accurate, and it is from NBS. While I cannot speak specifically on the reasons for the high number, I can confirm that the data is accurate,” NBS spokesperson Sunday Ichedi confirmed to Anadolu on Thursday.
The NBS added that 2,235,954 Nigerians were kidnapped and a total of (N2,231,772,563,507 ($1,438,040,707.01) was paid in ransom.
Nigeria is facing multiple security challenges in different regions. While the country is battling a Boko Haram insurgency in the northeast, banditry and kidnapping are high in the northwest.”
NB: The Tinubu Administration tried to “KILL” the NBS Authentic Report But Failed!
WE OF THE EDITORIAL BOARD OF THE ZION B-BC NEWSLETTER WITH ALL SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY, CONVICTION AND PROBITY DECLARE AND CONFIRM THAT THE NBS IS THE MOST RELIABLE AND AUTHENTIC GOVERNMENT AGENCY WHICH HAS RESISTED CORRUPTION FROM INCEPTION AND IS WITHOUT BLEMISH!
In corroboration to our assertion, please read the following Press Statement by Elder Statesman and former Vice President of Nigeria, Alhaji Atiku Abubabar on the consistent authentic reports regularly released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS).
“INSECURITY: DON’T POLITICIZE NBS REPORTS, ATIKU WARNS FG. -20th December 2024.
EXCERPTS.
* Atiku Abubakar, warned that politicizing the data from the National Bureau of Statistics would be counterproductive.
* He emphasized the importance of accuracy in data and statistics for development purposes.
* He stated that the coincidence of a so-called hack, coming only shortly after the release of damning stats on security, is suspicious and
* That Citizens may be brainwashed to assume that every stats released by the Bureau is an outcome of a hack!
RIBADU SHOULD HAVE EXHIBITED HIGH LEVEL DIPLOMACY!
But in spite of the GLARING INDICTMENT of Mr. Ribadu’s (NATIONAL SECURITY ARCHITECTURE), JUST IN DECEMBER 2024, in the preceding report which sordid revelation in facts and figures cannot be faulted, Nigerians would have expected him to keep a LOW AND HUMBLE PROFILE AND RE- “STRATEGIZE”?
He should have treaded softly because the Office of the NSA has no business with Visa procurement! BUT IN FEBRUARY 2025 HE THREW CAUTION INTO THE WIND AND PUBLICLY COMMANDED A SOVEREIGN NATION TO “GO TO HELL!”
In a saner clime, Ribadu would have been FIRED “AND GONE TO HELL”, but that was not going to happen with a President like Bola Tinubu WHO IS NEVER ON SEAT to fix neither the economy he bastardized through NUMEROUS POLICY SOMERSAULTS OF 20 MONTHS NOR THE OUTRAGEOUS INSECURITY SITUATION IN NIGERIA!
If this diplomatic blunder is not quickly and properly managed the cordial relationship between CANADA AND NIGERIA might be irreparably damaged!
That Visas were denied to the CDS and some other senior military officers, who intended to visit the North American country for an official engagement, still remain allegations and assumptions since investigation was yet to be concluded!
The Ministry of External Affairs which directly handles all such transactions on behalf of the Federal Government is yet to issue any public statement on the CDS’s complaint and as such, no conclusion should be hastily deduced.
NIGERIA CANADA TRADE RELATIONSHIP.
Canada is one of world’s top trading nations – and one of its richest. It has vast oil reserves and is a major exporter of energy, food and minerals.
Canada and Nigeria have a significant trade relationship, with Canada exporting vehicles, fertilizers, and wheat to Nigeria, and Nigeria exporting crude oil, cocoa, and soybeans to Canada.
Exports from Canada Wheat, Potassium fertilizers, Cars, Cereals, Vehicles and Equipment.
Exports from Nigeria Crude petroleum, Cocoa beans, and Soybeans.
In 2023, Canada exported $579.7 million to Nigeria while it imported $3.0 billion from Nigeria in the same year. Nigeria has always been Canada’s largest trading partner in Africa.
Canada and Nigeria have agreed to work together to increase their trade to $6 billion dollars.
The Nigerian-Canada Bi-national Commission and an investment forum have been established to strengthen trade and investment through priority sectors, of Oil and gas, Agriculture, Creative economy, Fintech, and Manufacturing.
Canadian firms have been involved in the privatization of Nigeria’s power sector and a bilateral relationship that includes trade, investment, and education.
Canada is a parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy in North America, a developed country with a high per capita income and one of the world’s top trading nations.
There is an annual flurry of Nigerians who travel to Canada e to seek for GREENER PASTURE!
Nigerian CITIZENS expect Mr. Tinubu to SHUT Ribadu ‘s VERY BIG MOUTH by kicking him out of his Cabinet AND MEND DIPLOMATIC FENCES WITH CANADA!
“As stitch in time saves nine”!
