Ingenious!!! Please why wont someone tell this man to keep quiet. Your pathetic excuse is grating on my nerves. PDP + Uncle J = Due Process. INDEED!!!

Routine action in civil service indeed. I wonder whether this is applicable to other poor nigerians and also how many Nigerians that have benefitted from the action since it's a routine thing in the civil service or is it applicable to people in high political positions only?.

utter waste of resources!

I hope that she would have one or more special assistants to write all her official memos and letters.

Lets occupy Uniport.
Burn the whole building

Nigeria, oh my Nigeria, why has thou turned thyself to a shameless country, why has thy rulers are so dumb and illfocused. My heart bleeds for Nigeria. Lets declare a marathon fasing and prayers. Our leaders are shameless and clueless.

If the Bayelsans have no problems with it, why should any other person be bothered. Congrats FirstLady, e no easy.

You see men and women who have worked for about 30 years in the Civil Service and who have always set their eyes on getting there being gazumped because of a politically motivated totally non-deserving appointment. Is this a democracy? They don't bleeping care about what the people think anymore.

At times I wonder if Bayelsa is cursed (Apologies to my collegues) First its Alams, He embezzled the whole state, Jona continue when Oga was impreached, He looted the state like mad, He hand ova to bros that one also nonsensilized everywhere, this one come even worse.
