Not sure if this video about Ajaokuta (Kogi) to Warri (Aladja) has anything to do with this new story. truth be told, all this masturbation by the Transport Minister to "masturbate" around completed projects to deceive the Zombies. What is new about this news really?? When will APC will stop confusing their followers
Lai Mohammed or any of his children should test the waters by travelling to any of the states mentioned without military or police protection and share the results with us. If they dare, kidnappers would celebrate Christmas in advance!!!
E be like Leadway Assurance salesmen job. Then dey help market Standard Chartered Bank products also. The people doing the job dey complain... like eh. Hmmm! Instead, go study ICAN or ACCA/CIMA.
989900E: Obviously, you barely understand the point I am driving at, and only see the part you wanna/can see.
And, if you can't decipher those basics, it's pointless . . .
You are pointless my friend. The economy went south with baba's 1983 policies. Emefiele cannot do anything to change a hardened Buhari with his autocratic beliefs. How do you assemble a team of lawyers and amateur Accountant to manage Nigerian economy, especially after it has gone south due to 7 months of inaction? Common budget they could not prepare and you expect fiscal miracles in a recession. All the while people urged Buhari to accept deregulation he insisted on his archaic policy of pegging the Naira to dollar, which his puppet minister was here defending and you want Emefiele to do miracle when the damage has been done. You were all over the Internet defending their China. UAE, Qatar and other fruitless trips. Now you want to blame an astute banker that managed one of Nigrria's biggest bank to success. Go and tell your sponsorship that Nigeria economy is different than Ogun State. A state commissioner job is to collect from federal allocation and disburse. Any Accountant or even financial Analyst can do that, not managing a complex economy like ours. Buhari should sack Adeosun and reconstitute the economic team. This is August 2016, APC is still arguing about budget padding and you are blinded to that but you see Emefiele because he is not from the South West or the North!
Unfortunately for this "Transparency Group", they CANNOT unseat Dogara. They need additional 36 members, as such "Dogara, you are SAVED!!!"
The big question Nigerians should be asking is: With all the "paddings" at Executive, Legislative and judiciary levels, why has APC budget remained N6.8Billion APC should stop distracting the public while failing to keep ONE electoral promise, please!
carinmom: They are all hypocrites, most of them don't know a thing about the north but are always quick to criticize, they don't even know that the north is more peaceful than their regions.
We are doing fine and you?
Lie! Lie!! Lie!!! I served in Bauchi and was a witness to so many religious infractions, in Tafawa-Balewa, Ganjuwa and even Bauchi itself. No much are reported, especially if it does not escalate to religious war. A Christian man CAN NEVER be allowed to marry a muslim lady. If you have any such case, let us discuss it. Tell us about them, their family and others.
Many Christian corpers like me lived in the barracks then for fear of being accused of violating "bashiga". If the muslim youths sight you greeting a muslim lady, you are done for. At the NYSC orientation camp we were cautioned about the issue of relationship with female muslims. If I may ask, why do you have very few upstairs in muslim dominated areas in many northern cities? The Alhaji's do not want anyone living upstairs to have aerial views of their compounds as their wives and daughters are in puddah and you are here talking about peaceful co-existence. Even as a Corper, I was denied service acceptance at Neerma Hospital Bauchi because I am a Christian.
You people, especially muslim north should begin to accept the issues and challenges that your religious beliefs and practices have created for you. That way you would be in a position to find a compromise and live peacefully with others. If you continue to deny this fact, sorry the peace you seek would continue to elude you!!! Down south, the Yoruba (Lagos) muslims are more liberal. At least my former landlord is a staunch muslim and still gave me accommodation and my place was a home fellowship centre. That CANNOT happen up North.
By the way, since you are married, kindly link me up with your sisters or daughter or an educated muslim lady from Kano, Kaduna, Sokoto and I am ready to go ahead and marry her and let her practice her religion in my house. By God's grace I have the well-withal. If you cannot find one, PLEASE, STOP DECEIVING CHRISTIANS!!!
carinmom: Oh really? My uncle has been married to a christian and they have been together for the past 30yrs and she is still a christian up to today, and he is a full Hausa man.
Therefore don't spread lies and misinformation because of religious and ethnic bigotry.
Will you marry me - a christian will your father and his imam not behead you as in honour killing Stop the lies please!!!
engrjoseph208: I believe Nigeria will be great again
In what sense dear? When was Nigeria ever great and in what area? Cattle rearing or what? You people should stop deceiving yourselves . Because you hear people say "America will be great again ", you also adopt same. Do you have light in your house? Even Buhari is proud that Nigerians borrow "I better pass my neighbour " to watch football. Let us stop deceiving ourselves, please!!!
The Aisha Buhari of Halliburton scandal should immediately hire alfas to pray that Donald Trump does not become POTUS. The faceless Aisha Buhari would be fished out then.
agabaI23: First, the most influential person in the Presidency today is one Mamman Daura whom as you know, is a nephew of the President. His father was Buhari’s elder brother. In addition, Mamman Daura was the one who single handedly brought up Abba Kyari, the current Chief of Staff to the President. In fact, Abba Kyari knows Mamman Daura more than he knows his own father. Next, the Personal Assistant to Buhari himself is the son of Mamman Daura, next is what they call SCOP, State Chief of Protocol, and is also a son-in-law to Mamman Daura because he is married to Mamman Daura’s daughter. Next, the Minister they unilaterally chose, against the interest of the party and against the wishes of Sokoto people, happens to be the daughter of the younger sister of Mamman Daura’s wife. Both of them are daughters of Sultan Dasuki, who was sacked by General Abacha. We have the Aide De Camp to Buhari himself, Colonel Abubakar. He is married to the granddaughter of one of Buhari’s elder sisters. Next we have the woman who represents Kaduna in the Federal Executive Council, she is a cousin to Kaduna State governor, Nasir el-Rufai. It is well known that el-Rufai is one of the closest governors to Muhammadu Buhari. Next, we have the Minister for the Federal Capital Territory. The Minister of the FCT is the man called Musa Bello, who used to be the Managing Director of the Northern Nigeria Development Corporation, which used to be the biggest holding company that belonged to all the northern states. His only qualification to be FCT minister is the fact that his father has been Buhari’s friend over the years. Now, there is a young man called Sabiu Yusuf, nicknamed Tunde – probably because of late General Tunde Idiagbon. He is another PA to President Buhari. He is also a grandson of another sister of Buhari. This is enough to prove to you that this is shamelessly the worst form of nepotism in the history of government in Nigeria. In fact, in the history of Africa, let me make bold to assert that I have never seen any level of nepotism that has equalled or surpassed this in my entire life – I am now in my 67th year. [/b]Another thing I also want you to know is that, Amina Zakari, who was and still a national commissioner in the Independent National Electoral Commission representing the entire seven states in the North-West. It is being claimed that Buhari knows nothing about her appointment (before he became President), it is a lie. [b]When President Goodluck Jonathan was re-organising the INEC and he was bringing in Prof. Attahiru Jega, he reached out to Buhari and asked Buhari to nominate somebody from the North-West so that that person would be a national commissioner. Of all the people in the North-West, Buhari decided to nominate his own niece, the daughter of his elder sister- Amina Zakari. She has been there; when Jega left, Buhari was determined to make her chairman, it was because of the massive backlash that he dropped the idea like hot potatoes. As we are talking today, that woman is a national commissioner which means she is one of the principal election umpires. Throughout my reading of history, political science and social sciences generally, I have never heard of any dictator or any tyrant under any system of government whether totalitarian or fascist, appointing his own niece to conduct elections in which he was either a party or going to be a party to; Buhari has done that. The immediate younger brother to Amina Zakari is currently the Minister for Water Resources representing Jigawa State in the same Buhari government. In addition, even though they are from Kazaure, Kazaure is contiguous to Daura. The eldest sister of both of them is now the Commissioner for Education in the All Progressives Congress government in Jigawa State. If this is not nepotism, then I don’t know what is nepotism and anybody who has the guts, the brutal arrogance to appoint these relations not bothering about public opinion, about the sense of justice, about competence, then you can see that he has a very serious question to answer. There are two mysterious cases.
[size=18pt]And I ask, how many Osinbajo relatives are in Aso Rock[/size][/b]
sanky346: I always laugh when I hear Eze Iyamu's pastorial title, Pastor Eze Iyamu. Is Pastor his second name? Is he still pastoring a church? Was he called into a pastoral ministry? Who are his church members? Does he attend bible studies regularly?
Every #Buharist who loves @MBuhari but love #Nigeria better at some point must save @NGRPresident from the hawks around him. @AsoRock needs some home truth, told directly to the President. He must be told in clear terms he was elected President by the Nigerian people and not his Uncle or some self serving people he "trusts". The direction of his government is looking more like all motion but no movement. I spent 3 weeks in #Nigeria choosing to visit Lagos, Jos, Kaduna, Jigawa, Kano and Oyo. I stayed away from my "friends" in government but spent more time with the locals in the market places and the nook and crannies of areas President Buhari won in 2015. If anyone is deceiving the President that Nigerians are smiling he needs to send that person to Gashua prisons.
Mr President must CUT DOWN on a lot to reflect the HARD TIMES Nigerians are facing now. For a start sell those over bloated Presidential jets. Reshuffle your cabinet and put Minsters where they can better serve. Make yourself more accessible to your Ministers. Your SGF is rumoured to have turned himself into some sort of clearing house and Ministers don't have access to you, do something about it. Important files are waiting for Mr President's attention, delegate if you can. You have over 4K appointments to make, make them now and make sure you look for the best technocrats a cross the globe even if they have served under the PDP. Probe the increasing human rights abuse by some element within the security apparatus. Listen to some of the 'wailings' by the opposition and act on them, promptly.
You rely too much on civil servants and Permanent Secretaries so a number of your Ministers have adopted a "Sidon look" approach. Reach out to the South-South and South-East in a more revolutionary way. Many of our fellow Buharist from that side now cover their faces in shame as each time they try to defend your policy you make another move putting them on the defence.
Even if you want to continue to appoint people from a section of #Nigeria let them come with extraordinary track record that will make a nonsense of the Federal character policy.
Reign in on your spokesperson Femi Adesina and teach him on the philosophy of leaders being the custodian of the people's mandate.
Seek help on the economic front. Nigerians know it's not entirely your fault but they do not see a clear road map from your team and if you do communicate a road map it is not being felt by the man on the street.
Visit the APC secretariat in Abuja. The derelict nature of the building is a reflection of the state of your party and the country.
I have so many more to say but will forward in a private memo but the summary report Mr President is that Nigerians are not smiling at all and they are not willing to wait till 2019 to feel the effect of the road map. Oh, I was reliably informed some people around you are already planning for your re-election in 2019. Sack all those involved. They are only trying to distract you from the VERY URGENT task of saving Nigeria from total collapse.
Your compatriot,
Kayode Ogundamisi
Mr. Kayode Ogundamisi, please include in your private memo to Buhari that Nigerians are counting the number of days APC have left to be BOOTED out of Aso Rock. As of today, [size=15pt]APC have just 1036 days to go[/size]. All things being equal, we are eager to see Buhari back to his 150 cows in Daura.
It is only in Nigeria that a set of people will wake up and issue a ban on a sitting senator all in the name of parochial, regional politics. To all those calling Dino's action childish, I am wondering what they said when he was 'banned' from entering Southwest. To Dino, you did not really need to go to Bourdillon just to prove your point.
That said, APC and their Commander in Chief should deliver on their electoral promises. People are suffering and all we read and hear is distractions. Probing this and that has not added anything to the lives of average Nigerians. Enough of these irrelevant distractions please!! Both Remi and Dino were elected to go and better the lives of their electors, not to go and fight for personal political grandstanding.
We have the PIB, CONFAB report, lopsided appointment, falling value of Naira, falling standards of living, poor health system, epileptic power, poor security systems, etc enough to occupy these lots, not selfies. If the Commander in chief is failing, impeach him. We do not have to wait for eternity to have common electricity in Nigeria. Our professionals are leaving in droves to other climes just to do menial jobs because our leaders are busy doing NOTHING, rather fighting regional and tribal battles.
To the NIGERIA YOUTH, please grow up. Stop being fooled!!! Grow up NIGERIA SENATORS, stop being a political appendage of a failing executive.
O my God, I am tired of these bunch. What a nation, what a people?
This same OP wrote this on January 31, 2015 [size=18pt]If Buhari presents NEPA bill as his certificate he will surely have my vote. Sai Baba! Sai BuharI! Sai Change![/size]
hommes: I start to imagine what a normal human being would ever need 13 Billion British Pounds that’s 27 trillions of Naira for in this limited world, which if divided according to the equivocal population of Nigerians 170,000,000 people each person will get over N158 millions.
I wonder if former President GEJ could imagine that only one out of his ex-Ministers could steal such a stupendous amount under his administration without his knowledge.
Wonders shall never end! In reference to the CNN report that the former Minister has made a refund of $90B already, how much is Dangote worth? As at today Dangote is worth $14.7B and the 67th in the world while Bill Gates was the 2nd with $ 79.2 on the Forbes list.
Diezani is simply a wonder. Old pensioners are dying of hunger daily, Insurgency is consuming lives of innocent Nigerians, workers are no longer getting their salaries as at when due, Government can no longer build infrastructures, road all over the country are in complete bad shape and only one woman got away with this kind of money.
Nigeria is a wonder, while Diezani is a SHAME to MOTHERHOOD. I am afraid of Nigerian women in Government and what about you? Very very disgusting//l honestly pray that you do not read this revelation before you go to bed. I weep for Nigeria
Op, na brain dey your head abi na sh...t? Where is your link? How much did Nigeria sell oil in six years that one person will steal $90B? I tire for you people ooo! Please always USE YOUR HEAD before YOU USE YOUR HANDS.
The Gambia and Tanzania have banned child marriage, with tough penalties for those who breach the rulings.
Gambia's President Yayha Jammeh announced that anyone marrying a girl below 18 would be jailed for up to 20 years.
In Tanzania, the high court imposed a landmark ruling outlawing marriage under the age of 18 for boys and girls.
Some 30% of underage girls are married in The Gambia, while in Tanzania the rate is 37%.
Africa Live: More on this and other news stories
Before the Tanzania ruling, girls as young as 14 could marry with parental consent, while it was 18 for boys.
The BBC's Tulanana Bohela in Dar es Salaam says this is a big win for child rights groups and activists, who will now have an easier time rescuing girls from child marriage.
The case was brought by lobby group Msichana Initiative.
Gambia's President speaking at the Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations at the end of Ramadan, said parents and imams who perform the ceremonies would also face prison.
"If you want to know whether what I am saying is true or not, try it tomorrow and see," he warned.
Women's rights campaigners have welcomed the ban, however some say that it would be better to engage with local communities to try to change attitudes towards child marriage instead of threatening families with prison sentences,
"I don't think locking parents up is the answer... it could lead to a major backlash and sabotage the ban," Isatou Jeng of the women's rights organisation Girls Agenda told the Thomson Reuters Foundation by phone from the Gambian capital, Banjul.
In December last year, Mr Jammeh also outlawed female genital mutilation (FGM), with a prison sentence of up to three years for those that ignored the ban.
He said the practice had no place in Islam or in modern society.
Confusion everywhere... Fela was right, Zombie government in action. They go back twenty steps only to move forward one step and fellow Zombies will clap and hailing them!!
The BIG question waiting for answer is WHY HAS AISHA M BUHARI, President wife avoided stepping into the US. This other Aisha Buhari lives in US and FBI have NEVER interrogated her, yet have asked EFCC to investigate the owner of Citizens International Bank Account domiciled in Nigeria. If this Aisha is the culprit, and she lived in US with Jefferson why would she be making transfers from Nigeria instead of simply delivering cash to avoid trace? Tell this Co,ck and Bull stories to the gullible.
PENGASSAN should not dare this administration ooo! They should tow the path of dialogue, but on PIB, I support whatever action they decide to take. 1-chance Nigeria!!!
