d funny tyn is not just that, am so disappointed in dis man called Buhari, does it mean in the nation of Nigeria, there is no other custom officer to attain as custom boss?
How does he want to run the country, tomorrow he will bring his gal'sfriend son to become minister of health while he has degrees in marketing. Tell we wat makes this man qualify for d post, while there are thousands of custom officers out there, he wen and bring his old retired col. Pal.

My fellow nigeria this is corruption in it fullness. Corruption is not just money, but nigeria own na I.M, which is wat the president is displaying.

God bless Nigeria.

I weep for you and your people. Well, any experienced Nigerian will easily dismiss and forgive your unsophisticated and unintelligent remarks, knowing where you come from. Ever wondered why it's very difficult to see ur stock make a positive or meaningful impact outside the shores of Nigeria? Ever pondered on the rationale behind federal character and quota system? It's to prevent a certain group of persons from going extinct. Ever reasoned why certain people are scared to death hearing about true federalism?

Although there were speculations that President Buhari’s soft spot for Colonel Hameed Ibrahim Ali (rtd.) would get him an appointment, no one knew he was going to be made the Comptroller-General, Nigerian Customs Service.
Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali (rtd.) Newly appointed Comptroller-General, Nigerian Customs Service



Born January 15, 1955, Col. Ali was a military administrator of Kaduna State, Nigeria from August 1996 to August 1998 during the military regime of General Sani Abacha. Below are top 7 things you need to know about the new Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) boss.



1. The prominent figure during the military era holds Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Criminology.

2. For years, President Buhari has had a soft spot for Colonel Ali and his life style, hence the new appointment. is an admirer of Ali’s life style.

3. Colonel Ali who was in charge of the management of Buhari’s campaign funds has just one wife and four children.

4. The newly appointed NSC boss retired from the army unceremoniously when Olusegun Obasanjo was the Nigerian presidency. This, he did, without any scandalous report.


5. Just like President Buhari, Colonel Ali is a farmer, a poultry farmer that still drives a 504 Peugeot saloon car.

6. After retiring, Colonel Ali who is of steely character suitable for incorruptible values became Secretary of the Arewa Consultative Forum, a northerm lobbying group, and a supporter of Major General Muhammadu Buhari in his bid to run for president. In June 2006 Ali was reported to have said that the North would get back the presidency in 2007.

7. He was the Chief of Staff to Muhammadu Buhari before being appointed as the Comptroller-General, Nigerian Customs Service.

[s][/s]
He drives a Peugeot 504 and so what? How about his wife and four children? Do they also drive a Peugeot 504?
He has only one wife; how many a normal man suppose get? BTW, how many side chics him get? You no mention that one.
I no get problem with the man, but OP, let's stop making ordinary people appear as saints.
I hear say him follow sentence saro wiwa; since he's so full of integrity, did his conscience tell him that was the right thing to do? Make we see weda him go continue to dey use Peugeot 504 this time.
We're really in the endtime, the alarming increase in the number of weird, dull and dumb people, especially in my country is testament to that.

So what happened to Abiola and Dele Giwa ? You see for you to move ahead in life you must forget about the past. I am very sure that you must be an Igbo man with your comment. Should I start mentioning Hausa names that died just like Abiola and Dele Giwa ?

Which people environment is continually degraded ? My brother I will advise you big up mentally. Stop seeing Hausa/Fulani or Yoruba as the problem of you people. From your comment so far I am sure you must be from the Niger Delta region. You have allowed the wrong preaching of your leaders to blind your sense of reasoning. Let me just ask you a simple question, what has the Niger Delta ministry did so far to help the region ? The last time here there was a report from Otuoke that there is no portable water for people to drink. The Bayelsa population is not up to my local government population here in Lagos, I mean Alimosho local government and its receiving bigger allowance more than states with more population. Now ask yourself, from the federal government allocation, Niger delta allocation and fund from the Oil and gas companies why is this region still like this ? Few people from the region has diverted all these money to their personal pocket and make their gullible followers just like you to believe Hausa and Yoruba are your problems. GEJ, Orubebe, Boyloaf, Asari to mention fews are you peoples problem.

To be most sincere I trust an hausa Fulani man with my property more than a southerner. Southerners are naturally love schemes and have a high levels of desire for material gain.

I have only one question for Buhari and those who like or pretend to like his lopsided appointments:
Why did Buhari not find a man of integrity from the North to use as his running mate during the Presidential election? Why did he go South? If indeed regions do not matter he should have selected a man/woman from Duara or any other part of the North to be his running mate. I bet even those pretending not to mind if he appoints only Northerners would not have voted for him.
Let us not bury the truth in the name of defending our candidate. Let us call a spade a spade. Buhari is wrong and should be corrected instead of being praised/hailed. ONLY the truth shall set us free, NOT propaganda.

Good political analysis you have bru but come to think of it are there not incorruptible nigerian in the South and West?
To be frank I Never expected anytin good from his Adm,so am not suprised with all this appointments

IN OTHER NEWS

The SFG is also An A.Boki
I weep for country
May be you are a poor student of history. For the 6years GEJ spent his chief of staff and sgf. As for the other appointments so fat only but a few were equally occupied by southerns while GEJ held sway and nobody complained.
Have you ever thought of why corruption thrived under GEJ? Well he was clueless and surrounded himself with clueless people who you can't write anything home about them.
Dss, ncc, firs, nis, coas, coas, cds, are some of the key appointments by PMB, all the former occupants of these various offices were either ss/se and there was nothing in the offing.
The new customs boss is said to be a very frugal and tough person even more frugal than PMB himself so we expect blockage of leakages were funds are diverted. The new firs boss is equally said to be very good from his giant strides in lagos.
In as much as I'm not in support of ethnic bias let's be objective and not subjective
