most newspapers just write trash now. Everybody quoting a reliable source.

The President appointing someone that has been working with him is the height of nepotism and insensitivity. We pray the president succeeds but he should stop acting like a bigot.

This appointment is akin to appointing Buhari to run Nigeria at this age and time. He is overwhelmed.

Different strokes for different folks on different days.
One of the most sought after offices in the country is what this gentleman is rejecting.

Yes indeed, these are interesting times with interesting men.

Impressive.

Forget about Buhari not finding a saint among the top officers of the customs to be the comptroller general. The real reason why an outsider was brought in was because the likely successor is a Christian and didn't come from the geographical area that Buhari wants.

buhari. I hope that is ur name

The man has gone home to cook himself. Even Buhari took time off to tidy his odeshi before moving into the villa. Life no get duplicate.

The appointment of Col. Ali to head the Custom is a new development to me. I have never seen a time when a non-member of a force was appointed to head any force. Is he going to start wearing Custom uniform? Sooner, a retired Naval officer will be appointed to head the Nigerian Police and a retired policeman will head the prison service. I wish our dear President looks at the implications of this appointment careful.

If Buhari is Christian-phobic as you alleged, why did he appoint a Christian as the Secretary to the federal government and also head of immigration?

If he's not interested in d post then he should give it to me..I go assume office sharperly

Get out of here and stop talking like a fool.

The Nigerian Customs Service is the best advert for corruption worldwide and this new appointee knows what he is up against. It is one man against a whole force.

I pray God grants him the strength to tackle those pot-bellied Customs Alhajis that confiscate and bury frozen chicken in d afternoon and the frozen chicken ressurects at Oshodi market at night.

Under IBB, Haliru (the former PDP chair) was head of customs and he was not a custom man. Under Abacha in 1993-1998, brigadier Ango was head of customs. Federal road safety and civil defence had always had outsiders as heads except the current ones.

Guess he was expecting something else. However, I'm sure his accepting or not of the appointment is not for the money cos customs is the best place to hit it big. Good to know that public offices can be rejected by men of true honor and grit.

For real? I never knew.

Gist me abeg.

Lwtmb!!!

I always wondered how those frozen chicken made it to naija when according to some customs laws, na contraband.

What kind of rubbish speculation is this? Will Ali be announced without consultation? Ali must have known this for a very long time before his announcement he must have consented to it, so what are we talking about. It sounds so insane to me that Ali doesn't want the appointment, and you think the FG will still go ahead to announce him. Custom association of the world or association of custom of the world or whatever body should just keep shut and let us run our affair. I heard someone was caught with €4.6m cash, where was custom, contraband every where, waivers to Jonathan associates where was custom. Ali will resume and custom will be sane again.

what if d 4.6million euros na buhari's money or maybe his wife?
Gej is long gone, he aint controlling any sector. Any shit that happens since may29 is solely buhari's responsibility.
How come nobody is briefed concerning what is being aired in all tv stations in neighbouring niger?
Even femi adesina is clueless concerning d issue....
Bros ur buhari na crook n he is a zombie for appointing a retiree in army to head customs n excise.

u naild it men
nice write up

He was expecting to be made Chief of staff but he was betrayed by buhari in the eleventh hour.

Hello fellow Nigerians, it is with great pleasures and leisure to write through this medium to president Buhari and his cabinent. Buhari why cant you be merciful just for once in your life time, we the newly recruited immigration officers wishes to inform you that now that you have odered the cancellation of our recruitment exercise, but remember the process we passed through for this three month hectic training at our various states command. Well as for me i stand to loose nothing but what about others, some have to resign from their varoius places of work hoping that this will come to a reality but to my greatest suprise, you have done the worst. Almost 1,600 youths engaged in weapon training just tell me if we were denied of this job what will happen? Armed robbery and all sort of social vices. Please fellow Nigerians what step can we take to debunk all this that is happening concerning this immigration controversy?

Thats correct. What I cant recall is if they wore Customs uniform. Does anyone know?

You are a useless brainless he goat.
The SFG is a Christian and so is the VP.
What poo are you vomiting here? Idiat

Guys a philipine lady proposed to me... Should i say yes

Please say NO, We're counting on you brah

kokoA:
I hear say that man no dey look face o. Custom officers go dey pray make he no start work else if dem do anyhow, dem go see anyhow fa.

You still dey talk of i hear say. Stop this your rumour mill. The man is not even interested in that position.

So the northern president cannot see a competent custom officials that he can appoint to be the comptroller general that he handpicked a complete novice into the job? One chance appointment.

Haliru yes, don't thing Ango did.

He wanted a more lucrative post.Maybe minister of finance or Nnpc chairman.He got disappointed when buhari gave the Nnpc job to someone else.

Those regimes were military and the leaders are dictators. They subverted the constitution and did as they pleased. Its why no sane people advocate military rule anymore. This is a democratic government, it can't use babangida and abacha's regime as its standard please.
