It’s sad that Tacha couldn’t spell correctly...
But even sadder that some of those criticizing her spelling can’t spell correctly themselves.

IGBOSON1:
All this stupid NDDC, ministry of Niger-Delta, 13% and other such diversionary gimmicks are just not working! This wasn't the model UAE used to develop for crying out loud!

Go back to post independence constitution which allowed the regions (states in this case) control their own resources and develop at their own pace! Anything else, even if sustained for another 50 years will result in the same motion-without-movement...the same failure that we're witnessing today!

And who will be “controlling” those resources?
But the likes of Ibori, Amaechi, Wike, Akpabio, Odili, etc.

AGREED that the present model is NOT working, but we should NOT simply shift the point of looting, stealing and embezzlement from Abuja to PH, Uyo, Yenagoa, Asaba, etc. We need a substantively FUNDAMENTAL shift.

This is a topic that requires more time and attention than I have at the moment, but I also AGREE that the NDDC and Niger Delta Ministry should be gotten rid of, and the 13% derivative formula revisited. However, my own suggestion for FUNDAMENTAL reform would be anchored around the PEOPLE (not rulers/leaders) of the oil producing communities (instead of, for example, not giving money to politicians in PH or Asaba for oil derived from the ecological and economic destruction of Ogoni or Isoko communities).

Simply creating a different set of greedy and rapacious RENT-SEEKERS and carpetbaggers, who add no real value but whose sole distinction are different last names, is NOT ‘change’ worthy of serious consideration.

Oyinbo man will treat animals like humans, but black man will treat humans like animals.you know why?

If folks insist on behaving like animals...
They DESERVE to be treated as animals.

Meanwhile, you would not be talking about the Oyinbo dragging black men behind their pickup trucks?!

Can they ever come out and become a gospel singer or at least act normal and surprise people who think their bodies will become their selling point?

Were they gospel singers going in? Or do you want them to go and get raped (allegedly) at COZA?!

Nigeria2040:
Shehu Sani give us your own comedy by sponsoring a bill in the senate that all public office holders should enroll thier children in public school and see how Nigeria schhol system will be revived. These public official will invest much in education because of their children

Difficult to do that when he’s NOT a Senator...

Rubber-Stampers!

Are they sure it’s not Gov Akeredolu’s ADC?

BRIBE!

Seriously, though, the Governor shouldn’t be buying cars (or anything else) for judges...
The Fourth Alteration to the Constitution grants financial autonomy to the Judiciary and Legislature, and that’s how this should be funded.

Since you are DUMBLY obsessed with primordial ethnic/regional politics...

1) According to Emir Sanusi (citing UN figures), Zamfara State has a poverty rate of 92% and Kano almost 80%.

2) According to the Minister of Education Adamu, the same Zamfara had only 28 candidates for the 2018 National Common Entrance Examinations (for perspective, that’s less candidates than a SINGLE school in Lagos).

3) The North has the HIGHEST number (and percentage) of out-of-school children than any other single region of the WORLD.

4) The North has some of the world’s HIGHEST infant mortality rates and the HIGHEST rate of child marriages in the WORLD.

5) The North has by miles the HIGHEST rates of Vesico-Varginal Fistula (VVF) disease in the country and among the HIGHEST occurrence anywhere in the world.

6) The North has some of the HIGHEST unemployment rates in Nigeria (shocking for a primarily agricultural area).

7) The North is consumed with an unending insurgency and interminable conflict (Boko Haram, herdsmen, armed banditry, ethnic, communal, etc), and has produced arguably the world’s HIGHEST number of IDPs (which in the process multiplies poverty rates, out-of-school and illiteracy rates, and sadly population explosion as it seems to be the only thing happening in the IDP camps).

8 ) The North, not surprisingly, has the HIGHEST number of beggars in Nigeria.

And so and so forth.

These are the sorts of ethnic/regional issues that should occupy MENTAL ALMAJIRI like you, not celebrating that Bubu appointed one Ibo, Yoruba, Ijaw, Erik, Urhobo, Bini, Itsekiri, Ibibio, etc., to a mid-level position. The problem with MENTAL ALMAJIRI like you is that you will kill and die for political appointments. Folks like you are just way too DUMB to discern that political appointments are merely patronage for the rapacious political elite and the obfuscating obsession over it does substantively NOTHING for ordinary citizens, who suffer deprivation from the same POVERTY of ideas and stark INCOMPETENCY of the political elite and leadership - regardless of tribe or ethnicity.

The bolded is a BIG FAT LIE,
We know the trick you are trying to pull and ain't buy your bull crap.
Continue self denial. Nigeria not signing AFCFTA wasn't just Buharis decision alone but overwhelming majority of Nigerian stakeholders loved it and were pleased with it except you people who are always finding faults where none exist as evidence in your last statement above, if he had gone ahead to sigh it immediately, slowpokes like you will have created hundreds of threads on nairaland on why buhari knows nothing about trade negotiations, he has signed it after due consultations and you still said he did it sheepishly, you people HATRED for buhari will consume you if you don't desist from your blind hatred

Dude, will not indulge in your crude, backward and illiterate fixation over ethnicity by revealing mine...
Suffice it to note that the saying “to ASS-u-me...” is apt here. Sadly it’s the sort of illiterate tribalistic mob mindset that installed Bubu.

In the tortured and twisted view of reality of MENTAL ALMAJIRI like you, under Bubu Nigeria is NOT the World’s Capital of Extreme Poverty (from one of the world’s fastest-growing economies just a few year ago), herdsmen are NOT sacking communities, slaughtering farmers and other citizens, armed banditry and kidnapping is NOT rife across the country, and Boko Haram NO longer exists. Would be surprised if you think Bubu will get a Nobel Prize for appointing an Ibo dude to a middle-ranking bureaucratic position, because dumb is as dumb does.

Anyway, it’s said that if a sane person indulges in a public argument with a mentally-deranged psycho the public might get confused, I will leave you alone now to revile in your childishly crude, uncouth, imbecilic, primordial, illiterate rantings about your tribal hatred. SMH

Tell me how the West would ever take Nigerians seriously, watching and reading about this kind of atrocities being committed on daily basis across the globe.
Imagine how they're spreading the virus of crimes to tarnish the image the few good ones amongst us overseas.

Exactly bros! Because Westerners never commit rape...smh

Unfortunately, however dreadful the youths might be. They cannot do a worse job..........

When the youths collectively start working..... Yahaya would have no place in governance......

The tribalistic war on NL, is simply people simply entertaining themselves..... Majority of them never truly mean what they type........

Dude, our generation can certainly do WORSE - and in fact has...
Starting with Gov Bello’s idiocy or Senator Abbas assaulting women in sex shops.

Again, age in itself is neither ability nor disability...
We have to show better capacity and competency - not Yahoo, tribalism, cultism, rape, fraud, etc.

So?
Buhari could have removed him, but he didn't yet you people are quick to point out to his non inclusion of ibis in his government as the reason to hate him so much and all these while an Ibo man has been our chief negotiator. I'm sure you people will want the heavens to fall if buhari replaces him with a Fulani man,...... Your hatred for buhari is a blind one borne out of mischief or the inability to get over the loss of election twice to him and NEVER because he has sidelined the ibos in his government

First, what part of I am not Ibo was too difficult to understand?
Nonetheless, referring to Nigerians/Africans as “you people” is exactly the sort of Stone Age xenophobia we condemn about S/Africans.

Meanwhile, returning to the SUBSTANCE of the matter at hand, perhaps it even reaffirms what you claim the Ibos have been saying that you are celebrating a substantively middle-level appointment as an epic event! The trade negotiator still takes orders from the Minister (perhaps even the Permanent Secretary) of the Trade and Investment Ministry and every other political appointee up the value chain until it gets to Baba Yusuf’s desk to accept or reject.

Ambassador Osakwe, who served in senior positions at the WTO for several years and was a university professor in international trade in Geneva, was obviously a skilled PROFESSIONAL trade negotiator but he still has to answer to political appointees and carpetbaggers with little or no clue about international trade matters. That’s why after being one of the key crafters of AFCTA Bubu declined to sign and dithered around until later succumbing sheepishly.

Only death can remove them all..... The youths are waiting.........

Abegi o, this dude was one of the few Nigerians recognized across the continent (and probably the world) for his competence...
Meanwhile, let’s not confuse “youth” with competence, for many youths (eg, Gov Bello) has incredibly incompetent and corrupt!

The challenge of our generation is not simply to replace the older generation...
But to be more CAPABLE and COMPETENT. Sadly, the ethnic brickbats on NL offers little such hope.
