One can only weep for the future of our country if we the youths reason like this. Here is a man who's allegedly discovered to have forged a doctorate degree appointed to head a commission and rather than demand for his dismissal we're making excuses.

The issue isn't whether the degree is relevant or was influential to his appointment but that he's a fraud. If truly the doctorate degree was fraudulently acquired how can we trust him with his new portfolio? Are you saying that we should overlook a crime as heinous as forgery just because he earned his other credentials genuinely?

In serious nations, this revelation, if true would cost him his new job and it doesn't only end there. He'd be banned from holding any public office and would have a criminal record that could render him unemployable for as much as 10years or forever.

Good luck with ur dreams.. Good Nigerians with good conscience died long time ago. U are on a long thing!

Abracadabra govt of 1984 is back to continue with staccato appointments

So APC that's shouting " probe this and that" doesn't want to probed??

because APC is as corrupt as PDP!

Pavore9:
Such amount is really questionable! And anyone who is truly security conscious shouldn't be carrying such around because there are banks to do that. What if he was attacked by armed robbers, many will be quick to blame the Police and Buhari.

So it's not illegal and we should not be condoning illegality.. If the security forces can't prove otherwise, they should hand him back his money

Let us stop playing unnecessary politics here. That the President makes an appointment doesn't mean the person starts work immediately, especially where a Senate approval is required. He has simply put a name forward. More or less like a nomination. That is what he did with the Service Chiefs. That is the same way it was with GEJ, Yar Adua and OBJ before him. The Service Chiefs didn't start to work until after the Senate ratified their appointment. What legal scholars are you referring to bruv?

The fact that GMB would make sensitive legal appointments without deferring to the constitution. GMB is supposed to know the law and hire the best constitutional scholars. He cannot be acting to correct illegalities made in the course of presidential appointments. By now, he should have known the appointments he can make without deferring to anybody.. Everything is treated as an after thought by this president #NotReadyFromDayOne.

Does GMB have legal advisers who are knowledgeable in constitutional law?
He appointed service Chiefs without senate approval until legal scholars started pointing out the illegality of his action.
Can he uphold the law for once? This new appointment shows that GMB doesn't care about Naija Constution..I wonder how he's going to execute his so called war on corruption without the rule of law.. Bishop Kukah has been vindicated!!

A country devoid of focused leadership. U can't draw knowledge from abundance of stupidity

Naija is full of hypocrites. 11m kids are not going to school and we care about indecent dressing.. No be s3x we take produce these 11m kids? And we no wan take of them??

Pavore9:
“I work for a Bureau de Change in Onitsha. I was asked to purchase dollars at the foreign exchange market in Abuja with the money. When we got to Abaji, our vehicle was searched and the money was found. That is all I know.” Are there no banks to use for the transaction? Dem never talk true!

Is it a crime to carry money in Naija

lolaxavier:
Still rubbish!!!

Just like ur empty rubbish responses!!!

Flyoruboy:
Whatever dude. What you described isn't unique to Lagos and will apply to any city as congested and fast-paced. I've lived in NYC and visited L.A Cali a few times too (L.A is even worse than Lag in my opinion, with its ghettos and gang-violence and all).So all what you ascribed to Lag are ever present there as well -- the good, the bad, and the ugly. This can only be expected in any megacity with its population and size so kini big deal?

LA worse than Lagos Comedy of the century!!

lolaxavier:
Still rubbish!!!

It's above ur intellectual grade even with Google..#congenitalfucktard

Wonder why family planning and contraceptives are stil abomination in Naija.
These are future BH foot soldiers-God forbid thing!!

lolaxavier:
What is dis one saying

Forever inked on ur encephalon as a puzzle...

Testing the waters for another Nollywood Movie!!

lolaxavier:
In no less than 500 words with diagrammatic representation, give evidential reasons why I must answer your dumb question?.

Another spinless servant who's clueless on how to spin for his spinless and clueless master

So monthly allocations due to his state in the last 7 yrs were looted by PDP??

Henry120:
So why don't you dispute the facts ( OP's photos) presented with your counter evidence?

Pictures and chest beating are not facts!
Dangote has about 30k employees- Naija's largest employer.
In Egypt.. Top employers
Mansour Group-60k
Orascom Industries =72k
Arab Contractors=77k
Orascom Telecom=17k

I don't want to mention S/African companies

Henry120:
Only South-Africa and Morocco can compete with us in Africa. We are virtually heads and shoulders above every other country on this continent.

Lies we have told ourselves for 55yrs .. Time to check score

Look at who's talking? A politrickian who mismanaged state's fund and needed a $75m bailout in order to pay backlog of monthly salaries owed woekers

donholy28:
But na d man cause am naw! Why he go put mouth for politics?

It was OK for him broker a peace accord btw GEJ and GMB- that whoever would win should congratulate the loser. Now that the election is over, he's not allowed to talk?

major466:
For Buhari to even appoint a special adviser to his wife secretly without informing the public sums his character. This man can never be trusted.

It also means that he has the intentions to use public funds for such office.. He's not frugal after all. He's going to waste our Resouces on frivolities

Because quite simply, it costs money.....lots of money to build and maintain a good hospital in Nigeria.

Look at American hospitals. US citizens pay lots of money every year in taxes to get good amenities. Plus....hospital fees in the US are ultra high....and if you have insurance, you pay lots of money in insurance premiums to get good care. Plus, rich people in the US donate heavily to their hospitals.

And how about US med schools? Yes....medical students pay high fees, med schools and their parent universities have hefty budgets , and med schools too get heavy donations.

And standard regulatory agencies work well....because any small mess up, and the local governor can get sacked.

Yes.....Nigeria needs a standard hospital. But...if you want a system of standard hospitals in Nigeria....you have to pay the price in high taxes, and high hospital fees and insurance premiums....not this one where you pay heavily subsidised fees, and expect first class. And you have to make sure that PMB ins really interested in diversifying our economy away from oil....so that not only do we have the cash to pay for standard hospitals....but we even have the manufacturing capability to manufacture high grade equipment like MRI, CT , ECG, EEG and so on.(Because....lemme tell you....we have to import most of the things used in a standard hospital).

We do not have the money. Sad.

Not entirely true. because Naija Politrickians are corrupt and selfish. South Africa has standard hospitals where Mandela was treated b4 his death.. Naija Politrickians would rather go abroad than to build one

Cos gluttonous habits are signs of good living in Naija. Ever wondered why rich and thieving politicians are fat??

jamesbridget13:
dont knw abt dat o. For my level my mobile banking is good enough.

Thank you for being honest!!personal online shoppers are ok with this, but biz people are bleeding money.. U can't even buy Samsung 4S on Amazon with this policy.

I have used PayPal rightly for over 6 Years in Nigeria my guy and 11 years ago, there is no way you can open a PayPal account in Nigeria using a Nigerian Info except you have an Insider like us. I register for people all over Lagos this guy.

If you need to know, then PayPal uses MasterCard Dollar now Naira account and no be the rubbish wey u dey talk here as if na you know everything.... The Bank Card colour is Black... Olodo ni bobo yi sha

you think everyone is local like you?

I have never shopped on Mary-kay let alone Mall of Africa... Shior... I buy books from stores and I buy software from companies and hackers paying with PayPal...

gerrout of here...

m not replying you again

PayPal started in Naija last yr.. Stop exposing ur stupidity.
http://www.forbes.com/sites/mfonobongnsehe/2015/03/12/nigeria-becomes-paypals-2nd-largest-market-in-africa/

Even PayPal would block payments originating from Naija with Naija IP address.
The point is, I got it b4 u got it and PayPal hasn't been in Naija for more than 2 yrs.
CBN has a limit on transfer period.
My experience in intl transaction is ur university education... My xprience is ur fantasy dream.. I'm cruising at supersonic speed like the speed of light while u r moving with KEKE-NAPEP powered by Bajaj and u r still caught up in Ojelegba traffic

Aregbesola is next! And 34 govs are lining up..No wonder it's called a zoological and botanical republic

jamesbridget13:
k. All u need to do is download gtbank mobile to u device n then proceed to any of their branch with ur phone so they can activate it for u. Once activated, u can transact with ur phone. I do my payments, purchases n transfer with mine though mine is unity mobile for unity bank

How about biz folks and procurers that do average of $10k in a week? It's not by restricting our purchasing power to $300 that made us the biggest economy in Africa

shadowripper:
That is where you fail. I have worked with GTbank and I know what I meant... Shior to you!
Olodorabata
Oko Iyalamala
Ojueja lo monje

Shior

Ode!

You no know something you dey talk......

If you want to know, ask those that do online transactions wella using gold and paypal for training...

I have used PayPal for over 11yrs and ur account is funded by your bank account and it's processed as POS... GTB has been constantly sending mails to its customers and It doesn't transfer money when it can't allow u to deposit unless IT's an inward telegraphic transfer -i.e online money. Stop insulting our collective intelligence
Even With GTB, it was about N2m/day not exceeding $50k/yr but now it's $300/day-capped at $50k/yr... For ur info, this is good for Mary-Kay and Mall of Africa buyers like you but it takes like $800-$1000 to buy and ship S6 or iPhone-6. Everyone doesn't count in hundreds!!

bushdoc9919:
Well....there are other methods of payment...start here...https://www.google.com.ng/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CDwQFjABahUKEwixyf3f1aHHAhVGtRoKHWKDD1Y&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.customs.gov.ng%2FPublications%2FgetPublication.php%3Fid%3D175&ei=UkDKVbHYMMbqauKGvrAF&usg=AFQjCNHlFcA3uI_4ep0e4i2ynkmnP55ZVw&sig2=z1BkkU59Qtg3p8BU4k2XWg



I mentioned Venezuela as another example of difficulties encountered in importing due to govt hoding back dollars to buffer the local economy.



I didn't.

Another copy and paste link without empirically substantiated fact.

What the methods available? How can you transfer money when ur bank doesn't accept deposit?? You just want to argue when have not gone to the bank to confirm??
Pls stop mentioning Venezuela cos their PDVSA- Naija's equivalent of NNPC, had revenue of $113bn in FY2013. It refines its crude in Venezuela; has one of the biggest refineries in the U.S.-CITGO. It has Subsiduaries in Germany and Sweden refining oil..
While out NNPC is unable to refine. Venezuela is going broke because their govt embarked on massive social programs like free health care, school and paying of stipends to the poor-
Pls don't compare this to Naija where social programs don't exist
