When they tell you they play "sophisticated politics", what they actually mean is that they are they best strategist in the country.., pray tell me; how can you boldly and proudly lay claim to sophistication in politics when all you do when you are not in opposition is to position yourself actively, intellectually and strategically to grab the biggest crumbs from the fulani sickening table?

How does sucking furiously from the hausa fulani behind make one a sophisticated being? bunch of clowns

IKEMBA NNEWI: Dude, it will be nothing short of a miracle if anybody in your ancestry(Both past and present) can match half this woman's intelligence! Bloody Hater!

Igbos generally feel inferior and inadequate and compensate with false superiority. They think that they are superior to other persons. No human being is superior to other human beings. To the extent that a human being feels superior to other persons he is deluded. Delusion is a psychosis. Many Igbos are deluded. They need to heal themselves of this delusion disorder, aka paranoia by accepting
that they are not superior to any one.

greatgilbert: You are so INDISCIPLINED!!!!
Badly brought and lack manners.

You could be charged to court for defamation.
You could be charged to court for putting the Highly esteemed Office of the President in disrepute!

Be warned and please...

Remember, you can't hide!

fijiano202: most Nigerians are deluded which is a big Prob,calling this Kinda outburst on twitter a voice of Reason shows how beclouded our youths are.Are u trying to tell me this is a mature Response? how can someone educated/Ex Minister post this kinda rubbish rant on Twitter.am not in anyway in support of inproper behavior at workplace but i expect more from her

manny4life: Lol... before he adjourned the meeting, did he allow her speak? Yes or NO? He needs to jam the type of Eric who will put him in his place...nonsense.

manny4life: What are you smoking? Who said her sickness was fake? Where you not the one shouting that the Reps did right by sending her away? Whether she faked it or not, bottom line, WAS SHE READY TO ANSWER THEM OR NOT? Answer your own question before you begin ranting.

Lol @ incompetency, like I said, if I were her, I would delay it... You don't like it, GO AND JUMP OFF. There's no Nigerian law stated that I have to complete a task within allotted time period, I've had people who did it to me and I've done it to people including my boss, as well as people who have done it to others, it's not incompetence, it's simply completing it ON MY OWN TIME... THE REPS DON'T LIKE IT, THEY SHOULD JUMP OFF AS WELL.

manny4life: I'm in no mood for arguments, be it as it may, the honorable needs to jam the type of Eric Holder, that's when he would know he's only but a lawmaker.

omenka: Over 72% on recurrent expenditure yet you tell me you are targeting job creation! What kind of fools do these pple take us for?

manny4life: 1. Apples and apples: both came for a testimony, both had a committee present, both scenarios the testifiers were sick/ill, both braved it to come either way. Did you watch her confirmation? 50 questions was an "UNDERSTATEMENT". Confirmation that started around 10am prompt till about 6pm in the evening, what do you think they were doing? Laughing with her abi? The confirmation lasted for four days, abegi... Both are the same.

2. When you have exams and you're sick, do you go for your exams either way or do you postpone it ? I know I go for my exams unless if it's extraordinary, which according to NOI, though she was sick (probably early season flu), why not subject her to the question when she told you that she was prepared to answer the questions. Fact remains the ill-mannered way he responded to her was uncalled for. Like someone rightly pointed, he did not jam DAM or Aviation minister... Nonsense.

3. I never said he did anything wrong, at least hear the testifier, that's a sign of respect. Yes we know you're the boss, how do you go to a court and you feel a judge doesn't hear you out? You're the boss, but before making a ruling, at least, even judges hear pleas, chairmen of responsible committee hear statements. Go to YouTube and watch some U.S. Hearing and see how their chairmen respect those who testify. Even if they know you're lying or whatever, they give you that deference by listening before handing down their decision....SIMPLE.

4. You don't dismiss people like that, like I previously stated, if you're in a court, or a hearing and you were treated with disrespect, you think that's appropriate? Lack of respect and decorum or should I say public exposure is the cause for all this, despite the education one has, being learned is a different thing. Besides, the law makers are not the law, RESPECT is reciprocal...As a minister of the federation, courtesy demands that the Chairman and committee were supposed to listen to her and not hush her, anyway, I'm glad how she put them in their place.

According to Attorney General Holder, the law maker needs to hear this

manny4life: I like the fact they're throwing good questions at her but what you expressed was exactly my thought. Apparently the lawmakers hadn't done their homework, so they dismissed her because they knew if an exchange ensued, they won't be a match for her. So they intelligently asked her to provide it in writing, who's deceiving who? Well, I trust Aunty NOI, she won't disappoint us, however, if I were her, I would delay my response for another two weeks. Kindly send them a nice letter stating for good reasons I need more time.

manny4life: Though unrelated, but just wanted to point this out. I remember clearly when a U.S. appointee was going for her confirmation, she broke her ankle that made her stay in the hospital for two days, upon leaving the hospital she appeared before the Senate. Even while the Chairman excused her, she said she preferred to go forward with the process. The chairman respected it and moved forward. That's respect.

So because she went before the committee out of respect, that gives the man the right to talk rudely to her? Every good turn deserves another, as many that twisted and turned this issue, no biggie... If you think how the man acted was appropriate, same actions will be measured out to you... Shikena.

azeezhy: Does anyone ever wonder why this so called ecomy goddess was reassigned to ministry of tourism during OBJ's era after she had been used to achieve debt relief and how she forced herself out of the government only to reappear as the lord of the manor in mr GEJ's government?
If you want to know, ask. I will tell you.

Ngwakwe: What then do we believe when every news item has been politicised? In another report.

EFCC ‘Not Broke,’ EFCC Now Says

manny4life: My point is simple unless you're trying hard not to grasp it. The house has APC as the majority. About 9% of the budget from last year was for the house. Since they're the majority, they should move a motion to reduce their pay, even a 20% reduction will translate into billions used for capital expense. As a matter of fact, if they call themselves progressives, reducing pay for the highest earners will be a starting point. Every money is needed, at least, it would no longer be 20% spent on all 170million, that number can double up after all the reductions and savings. Now that's what I'd like to see from "progressives"

Former Governor of Lagos State and national leader of the opposition Action Congress of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu made this assertion while receiving an award by the National Conference of Black Mayors, based in America in his office.

The National Conference of Black Mayors in America at its 38th annual convention which held recently in Atlanta Georgia awarded Bola Tinubu the association’s highest award, the President’s Award.

manny4life: Since APC now controls the lower house, let's see them perform their magic. After all , a bulk of the recurrent is going towards their salaries allowance and expenditures. I dare them to collectively move a motion on salary reduction and push the savings towards capital expense.

Ngwakwe: See Common Entrance questions.

All I can see are antagonistic questions borne out of low self esteem and desire to showcase Paper knowledge devoid of practical experience.

Now I understand why the Committee Chairman couldn't engage and debate NOI orally without prior written answers to his elementary questions.

Let's take the questions one after the other and provide answers to honourable Chairman without NOI input.

aviazuva: Truly the reps man was too arrogant. maybe because she is from another party.

But she exhibited high level of self control as a senior minister.

But ma, they gave you enough time for expo and you wan do the exam there. Which kain confidence be that.?

Ceorhemz: sir if you were an eyewitness of the incident, should i take you for who you are by what you have just spoken. How do you want me to believe that you are not speaking out of prejudice like so many on nairaland. Even if A THIEF is caught, and you are adressing him in the law court, you should be civil enough to allow him speak and not rubbish him. Have you ever listened to mtn customer care operators, how they talk and respect their customers with courtesy. That is how we should behave towards our fellowmen. He was actualy not respecting the office of that woman by what he did yesterday. And i was not happy with it at all. I'm not in any political party, i'm not a tribalist or a religious fanatics. I receive everyone. But when we see a truth, i believe we should say it. I'm not saying the woman is clean or dirty, but she was not treated fairly yesterday and that in the face of the public
