We are all aware of the recent drama that ensued between the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, and Hon. James Faleke representing Ikeja Federal Constituency, Lagos.
In case you missed it, here is a summary:
Ngige was invited to explain the suspension of Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF) management amidst allegations against him.
As proceedings went on, Faleke, while asking his question, seemed to have ridiculed the minister.
The lawmaker suggested that Ngige was appointed a minister even though President Muhammadu Buhari lost in his area during the presidential election. He also made some allegations against the wife of the minister in a move that seemed personal.
Ngige responded:
"You are like my junior brothers...except Faleke that they say he's up to 60, I don't know," Faleke then cut in, saying "I'm sixty-plus..." To which Ngige retorted: “So you are near my age, at least I am seven years older than you. I’m the same age with your mentor in Lagos, Asiwaju,” (making reference to Bola Tinubu, the national leader of the APC and former Lagos governor.) “And I was governor with him at the same time. He was a senator, I was a senator. I am a two-time minister, he isn’t a two-time minister,” he added. Again, Faleke interrupted saying “but he (Tinubu) won all his elections very well,” in an apparent reference to the controversies that trailed Ngige’s election as governor of Anambra state.
Meanwhile, when Faleke asked the minister to respond to questions, he said: “I’m responding my friend, if you yab me, I yab you ten times. I am a Lagos boy, you are just a small boy in Lagos. Look at this Mushin boy, he’s talking to a VI boy. I live in Victoria Island. Look at this Mushin boy from Kogi o.”
While the whole debacle was somewhat hilarious, there are however some pick ups therefrom:
1. Our government officials will not cease to embarrass us.
Watching the whole event on Youtube, one would think this was just a meeting of friends who are having some scores to settle over some bottles of liquor. It didn’t have the seriousness and decorum expected of top government officials discussing issues of serious importance bothering on allegations of corruption. ‘Mushin boy’; ‘V.I. boy’… These terms were way too much of a joke on such an occasion. It tells a lot about the caliber of people we elect into positions of governance in this country.
2. The second arm of government is increasingly becoming a joke in Nigeria. First it was Festus Keyamo, having a brawl with some senators, which almost went fisty., now Chris Ngige turning a house committee probe panel into a ‘bunch of small boys’. Well the reason for this is not far-fetched. He who fetches ant-infested firewood should be ready to entertain the Lizard as his guest. The legislature had earlier made itself a stooge to the executive who in an unprecedented move has taken the responsibility of handpicking the Senate president and the Speaker of House of Representatives. No wonder the house has been tagged a ‘rubber-stamp’, which means that they don’t question the decisions of the executives as they should, but simply vetoes them. The legislature should be an independent arm of government, serving as a proper watch dog to the executive and judiciary. But lately, this hasn’t been the case in Nigeria.
3. Tinubu is overhyped:
The national leader of APC was dragged into the fiasco by the minister, and this was done in such a casual manner that it didn’t befit a man whom his people have held in so much awe and reverence. He refers to him by his first name, he compares himself with Tinubu, and from the comparison, he (Ngige) has a better CV. He is at par with Tinubu in every other of Tinubu’s achievements and even goes beyond him in that he is a two time minister and Tinubu is not.
This raises again the old question of how relevant Tinubu is in Federal politics, especially in the face of his recent fallout with his party APC. Tinubu is no doubt the most relevant politician in the southwest currently. One would even think that he was an ex-president. Indeed, it would be understandable if it was Obasanjo that holds the kind of sway that Tinubu holds in the west. But apparently, it is just in the West, and maybe even in Lagos alone that Tinubu’s influence ends. The way Ngige, who is a federal minister and an experienced politician called him out is reflective of how he is regarded in Abuja. Ngige knows his onions very well, make no mistakes about that. He wouldn’t dare to step on toes that would hurt him.
He was directly sending a message to Faleke, and indirectly to Tinubu. He seems to be saying to Faleke: ‘I know who is behind your new found bravado, and trust me he is not my match by any ramification’.
On the long run, we might wait to hear from Tinubu. But aside the fact that the West knows how to project their own via the media, Tinubu might just be another ambitious ex-governor.

Ngige that didn't graduate from University of Politics.

Jagaban owns the university itself with so many brilliant graduated students like Vp Osinbajo, Fashola..

Are we not saying same thing?

How many elections have Ngige lost?

Can you mention just one person Ngige has produced and it's in high ranking position politically?

Tinubu is an over rated Nonentity worshiped by his slaves. we all know Osibanjo will be a good president but watch as his people will betray him to support Tinubu their slave master.

This life is funny sha, ngige that can't win a senatorial election in his constituency is being compared to someone who installed a VP.

Let me throw a challenge.

Name just 5 legacy projects done by Bola Tunybu in his 8 long years as governor and I will credit your account with Fifty thousand naira today.

Once again Yoruba people make the best slaves, Ngige is dealing with an Environment of a politically awake electorate, if Tinubu was in his shoes he will be a Ward councillor with his dumb antics and gimmicks, Nobody is following anybody over here, Learn that

This is what Tunubu was able to achieve for his village, I mean the people that gave birth to him and nurtured him, just browns

Second picture is what Ngige has done for his own village, Ngige has turned his village to London

They are here again one man causing distress and nightmare to a whole tribe

He's overhyped, yet the only time you guys don't seem to be talking about him is when you're sleeping. I suspect you might even have him hovering all over your dreams.

Some of you are notorious for pushing people to their political guillotine- did it with Dino, Saraki, Fayose et al. Now it appears Ngige is the next horse in line to get whipped to its death.

Smh.

lol... Make Ngige measure up with Tinubu boys like Fashola, Osibanjo and the likes first, before masking his crass inferiority complex in the most amusing way

Compare Fashola's CV with that of Chris first... lol..

As for Osibanjo, his present position is a lifetime dream for Chris....

And who is Ngige in the political scheme of things in Nigeria?

Jagaban is not only known in Nigeria but in Africa...

I laugh in Mandarin...

Ngige and tinubu are mates in Nigeria politics, they were governors same period , even ngige went further with 2 terms as minister

The only difference is that u can't pocket Southeasterners

Great

It is despicable that some die-hard haters fail to appraise themselves inwardly, spend judicious time on political office holders of other ethnic nationality and boast frivolously that they can never be pocketed.

List of those who have pocketed them and will continue to do so

1. Ike Ekweremadu was re-elected as senator representing the Enugu West senatorial district For the Fifth Consecutive time. (From 2003 till date). He has successfully bought the freeborn of his senatorial district and made them believe there could never exists someone better than him from their enclave for the office.

By 2023, he would have spent 20 cumulative years in House of Senate (A record we thought should be impossible in southeast Nigeria)

Nnamdi can't dictate what happens in a local government in South East
Mind u , majority of Southeasterners are not members of ipob , as much as nnamdi is well respected , he has boundaries
Stop arguing facts pls !

Smh.

When you were carrying Kanu in all the threads, did you bother to check how it feels? I see you everyday asking people to stay off Tinubu, it has not started. They will stall his premature ambition. He will still come again, and say he didn't want to contest. Men are planning him big time.
