Have you seen Bubu's certificate?

Whose certificate have you seen? These documents are not for public consumption!!!

The military did a turn around to confirm they actually found PMB's cert. We also saw an online certified copy from Britain(?), the one that bothers on his GCE or so...

Mogidi:
What of certificate-less Buhari?

What a cry!!

Were you in this country?

This concern has been trashed out ever before the elections....Ask GEJ. Even PEJ knows very well. Ask your PDP chieftains.

That's why they'll never talk about it again. #NeverAgain

Please confirm and revert.

The Ondo State government has redeployed the 900 holders of National Certificate in Education working in various local governments across the state to the state Universal Basic Education Board as a way of increasing the number of teachers in primary schools across the state.

This was disclosed by the State Commissioner for Information, Kayode Akinmade, in Akure on Tuesday, who informed that a three-day refresher course for the teachers was holding in four zones in the state with a centre each in Ondo, Akure, Okitipupa and Ikare .

The opening ceremony of the course, which ends on Thursday, he added was performed by the state Governor, Dr Olusegun Mimiko, at the Akure centre.


Akinmade, who said the deployment was to address the challenge of shortage of teachers in schools, explained that government discovered that the NCE holders were being underutilized in the various local government areas.

He added that the former local government workers were moving from the era of redundancy to the era of full engagement, describing them as round pegs in round holes.

In his address to the teachers at the opening ceremony of the course, Mimiko charged them to be diligent in the discharge of their duties and contribute their quota to the improvement of standard of education in the state.
He said the deployment was an opportunity for them to use their wealth of experience to improve on the state of education.

“You have the opportunity to mould the future of the state and Nigeria, so you should be up and doing,” he stated.

On his part, the state Head of Service, Toyin Akinkuotu, explained that the redeployment was to enhance productivity in the service.

“In view of the economic situation in the country, the governor has thought it right to redeploy you to enhance productivity,” he stated.

It its not that the said woman is making returns for the Whites, I wonder why they cry foul.

Is that the Iyalode of Egba - Efunroye Tinubu - by his left-hand side?

chukwudi44:
Call it begging,lobbying,diplomacy or whatever Buhari cannot do without these senators else they would make life very hard for him!!whether he likes ot or not he mustlobby the senators if he wants to run a smooth government.He would need them to approve not just ministerial nominess but also key nominees like INEC,EFCC etc and also approve budgets of ministries

You got a point there sha. Otherwise, democracy won't be sweet

We still need every good hands we can get

chukwudi44:
Bros are you for real? Whatever you see online would be replicated in the tabloids!! Who the hell do you even think Buhari is that everyone should be scared of him? Even Abacha with all his military powers was dared by the media let alone Buhari as a civillian president!!

Well, if you say so.
Personally, I believe PMB won't want to 'beg' PDP or any senator for that matter. He'll want to keep his face. The nominees to carry their own cross.

In fact, he may be monitoring the nominees to ensure none of them go ahead to corrupt themselves or unduely influence the Senate members...

My tots sha...

Recently, Vanguard Newspapers has become the official opposition newspaper.

mandax:
Because of prejudice and hate.

Because it's simply unbelievable. Well, except the PhD is an honorary award!

tobimillar:
From what you have stated, then diezanni isn't the only guilty Nigerian. Most of our ex presidents have 'laundered' money same goes to most Nigerian past and present governors, senators ministers, head of corporations etc. So why is diezanni's case different. I am not justifying though just asking

Because PMB said he would only occupy himself with probing the immediate government (that handed over to him) at the federal level. State governments to deal with their own stuff...

tobimillar:
Y

I am not supporting her in anyway, am just wondering whose money she laundered. Is it not Nigeria? So how come UK has jurisdiction over a case that ought to be handled in abuja...please no insults oo

One of her major offences is that she flew or ferried or by any means transported cash into the UK. The said cash was not declared as such at the point of entry. That is illegal. It is laundering.

She fraudulent brot in cash in excess of what is legally allowed into that territory. That also is laundering.

Business people are permitted to wire or transfer needed cash through banks or financial institutions licenced to do so. But this is flaunted in her case.

She made huge deposits into banks. This is suspicious as she has no business yielding such turnover in the UK. That is fraudulent....

tobimillar:
This is a shame on Nigeria.. pls lawyers in the house, I dont understand how UK can prosecute diezanni for an offence she committed in Nigeria and against Nigerian Government.

With all the lawyers and judges we have, how come we can't successfully prosecute one just ONE corrupt politician and have him/her return the loot to FG

If any of the funds of corruption is found in any UK banks, she can be arrested and tried in the UK
