Good evening fellow Nairalanders, a friend of mine is working and campaigning seriously for some to become governor in his state in 2019. My friend is a Federal oil worker But he is not OK with his pay so he is seeking for political appointment in his state in 2019. But my question is how much is a commissioner and other political appointees paid? I mean their basic salary not allowance? This will also help to guide him in making his decision should he loose his Job he will not commit suicide. Also is there any other benefits apart from the salary?
My fellow comrades and great politicians your contributions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

If you ask me, who will I ask actually

Sir in the spiritual realm what does it mean when you have someone that many people believe his talented. His parents, his friends believe he is talented but he is hidden in crucial moments especially at times when life changing things are happening or when he is on a big stage when big event are happening.

He is already 27 this January so he is not young but he is still not achieving much and doesnt look like he will be achieving much anytime soon. His life might even be an hazard or danger to himself

Instead of taking decisive actions he prefers to merry-go-round and be dancing around the issue. Basically forming activity. Another thing he and his friends will blame everyone around him for not giving him enough support

And like some youth, he now thinks if he can go abroad particularly to Spain thats where he can get success in his life because some people he knew made it in Spain

How can you advise that person or do you think he also needs to attend this program in April to meet God?

Greatihex:
maybe you should show me harry kane's trophies.

Since he has the trophies without those your stats, should we go and collect the trophies from him?

Does that mean you are of the conclusion that Hazard is below per in this regard and Harry Kane is far better

Greatihex:
If he does all that and it does not help in getting a trophy in any way, will you say he has made an impact to the team?

He should do that first....

Trophies always accompany such output.

raumdeuter:
Good reasoning but to some people Hazard is untouchable, He can never be criticized even when he is delivering below whats expectged of a player who earns as much as he does

One cannot just be hypocritical and continue to shy away from the truth.

If Hazard at 27 with the potentials cum talent at his disposal is not replicating and bringing forth performances that is a function of his gifts and failing to live up to expectations, then, when will he Why the hype

Greatihex:
did you read the article very well?

Try read the last 2 paragraph of the article and then you answer this question.

Which impact are you talking about?

I didn't read it previously, just a glanced at the URL.

However, I had to read the prescribe paragraph which is a narration of the team's achievement while Hazard is with us.

Impact in goals (numbering over twenty) and assists (in the range of fifteen above) in resemblance to what is gotten from high profile wingers.

obainojazz:
Our own hidden tops the list of most dribblers. Nice one.

Imagine!

The warning signs were there before kick-off. The presence of N'Golo Kante for Chelsea in a game like this is non-negotiable.
Although he travelled with the squad – and was seen coming through the bowels of the Etihad Stadium with the rest of his team-mates afterwards – the France midfielder was unavailable to face Manchester City on Sunday through illness.
With him in the side Chelsea can play both ways. Antonio Conte can ask his side to get on the ball and he can rely on the simple but tempo-setting passes of Kante in midfield.
RELATED
If they decide to surrender the ball and play on the counter, well, Kante can be the ideal man for that too.
Conte prepared a game plan for Barcelona in the first leg of the Champions League last 16 and assumed that he could deploy a similar set up against Pep Guardiola’s side.
That would make sense if Kante was available. He wasn’t.
Danny Drinkwater and Cesc Fabregas are an inadequate pair for a side of Chelsea’s profile in a game of this circumstance. The ex-Leicester captain appears to be a forgotten Chelsea Sporcle quiz answer-in-waiting such has been his lack of impact at Stamford Bridge.
His signing, and that of Ross Barkley and Olivier Giroud in January, as well as Antonio Rudiger, Alvaro Morata and Davide Zappacosta in summer, hint at a much deeper problem. Transfers have not been on the required level.
Chelsea were crying out for improvements last summer when Nemanja Matic, Diego Costa and John Terry were leaving. To that trio you can add David Luiz who has become persona non grata around West London under Conte. That is the heart and soul of a Premier League title-winning team.
Chelsea’s recruitment department did not step it up and give their first-teamers something to think about. The Blues have regressed and regressed badly. Alarm bells should have been ringing as early as the Community Shield in August.
Kante can do plenty to paper over the cracks as he is a one-man midfield. Without him this plan was doomed to fail.
In it Eden Hazard is expected to work selflessly as a false centre forward. His role in an attacking sense is limited to instigating counter-attacks whenever possession-heavy opponents lose the ball.
That might be fine if Chelsea had a little more ambition. But they were routinely coming forward with only three men – Hazard, Pedro and Willian – while a fourth in an off-key Victor Moses got forward only intermittently.
Hazard’s best qualities are sacrificed in a team like this. He does not work well with his back to goal. Fans prefer to see him take possession somewhere high on the left, cut in and take shots or provide through balls.
To willingly nullify your best attacking player requires the ultimate payoff of the result. It came against neither Barca – albeit unluckily – nor City.
"I think the target was to be solid until the end and then try to put one in at the end,” Olivier Giroud said of the tactic. “Obviously, when you concede just after half-time, it is a kick in the leg a little bit but we still thought we could come back at the end. It was not enough but City deserved to win.
"It is always easy to say that after the game but if Eden had an opportunity to score, we could have said it was the best choice. Obviously it was difficult today. I am not the coach and the coach makes the team. We have to respect that and give our best no matter who is on the pitch.”
If the Barca draw convinced Conte that the system could be tried again then this disgrace of a showing should see it consigned to the dustbin unless they are playing Barca again. Even then it will come with no guarantees.
This was a performance of such limited quality and ambition that Chelsea found themselves on the bad end of a couple of Premier League records. No team has ever completed more passes than the 902 City managed here. No player has managed more touches than the 174 by Ilkay Gundogan. How jealous Hazard must have been of those figures; he hit 20 passes on the day. Courtois, his goalkeeper, made 45.
Some of those City passes and touches were delivered too easily. One unforgivable passage of play in the 75th minute saw Chelsea filter back into their defensive shape slowly, allow passes to be interchanged at will in front of them, before finally approaching their adversaries in possession at walking pace.
Sky commentator Gary Neville raged against Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final last week for their walking football. He won’t be the only one unimpressed by Chelsea’s efforts on Sunday.
Maybe that’s just how good Guardiola is. He reduces otherwise decent teams to the role of jobbers. No team has a good plan for City other than to dig in, soak it up and hope for the best. You’ll get lucky every now and again as Wigan proved recently. But it’s not enough. It’s certainly not enough for a team like Chelsea and a player like Hazard.
He is 27 now and has a few more seasons at his peak. There remains significant disquiet at the Bridge over their playmaker’s new contract. What he was asked to do at the Etihad - and the standard of his team-mates at present - should have him think twice about his next move. Indeed he did not shake the hand of his coach Conte when finally replaced late on.
There is clearly more upheaval and more new arrivals imminent at Chelsea this summer. It would be amazing if Conte lasted through to August at this rate while a clear-out on the playing side can be expected. Hazard might well look at that mess coming down the line and think his interests are better served elsewhere.
Although he’s got a couple of league titles to his name, he has not been part of a dominant Chelsea team – an era-defining team like Jose Mourinho’s back-to-back title winners or the 2012 team that won the Champions League.
He has played his part in their big recent successes but there is a lack of a plan, a lack of identity and a lack of promise at present. If Hazard decides to leave he will not be short of suitors. One thing is for sure, he would be forgiven for thinking that he deserves better.

We should rather ask about the impact of his stay with us.

Retreat of a ram will result in more power.

Clamping down that chairmanship is the only way he can get to others you mentioned.

Tinubu possess the savy and wit to scale through, he needs no input from empty beings.

Samleen:
Good, but in your meeting, ensure you put these requirements into place before putting forward any presidential candidate. This is applicable to your governors and other aspirants:

For every presidential aspirant, here is our requirement checklist if you actually want us to cast our votes for you in the coming 2019 election.

We don't care about what political party you belong to anymore -whether old party or new party, popular or unpopular; we don't care about what religion anymore; we don't care about what tribe or region anymore but
You

1. Must attend not less than 3 presidential debates: how do we know you're mentally stable and not a slowpoke if you cannot give reasonable responses to simple debate questioning?

2. Must undergo medical qualification tests: both the psychiatricals and others. The result must be verified by a notable medical panel and must be made availale to the general public.
People do medical tests even for secondary school admission, so why not for presidency aspiration.

3. Must have a governing plan (just like a business plan or a master plan) and make it available to the general public through the all the social media channels.
Bank cannot commit their cash to people without a good business plan with clearly written goals and objectives, figures, strategies and a guarantor, so how much more should we commit the life, future and properties of more than 150millions Nigerians to you without a plan.
In the plan must also be indicated your personer track records of successes.

4. Must have more than secondary school education. (There's nothing new about this)

5. Must have at least one of your children educated in a public university in Nigeria (not private): by this we will surely know that you believe in the future of Nigeria and that you will work towards her betterment.
This is a price not too much to pay if you realy love us.
We are tired of insensitivity of government towards the development of standards of educational setup in Nigeria, the strikes and industrial actions.

6. Must be a patronage of Nigerian made products and services and you must believe in capacity building of Nigerian indigenous businesses to provide exportable products and services to neighbouring countries, Africa and the world at large.

7. Must be wide reader and self development enthusiast: If you don't constantly feed your mind with transformative, educative and informative ideas through books, you don't have a business doing with presidency in Nigeria.
We are tired of archaic approaches to human governing. We need mordern, liberated and future oriented leaders to lead us in Nigeria, not power mongers, who just want to be in government for power, fame and monetary gain.

8. Must be within the working age range (younger than 60 years): "what's good for the goose is good for the gander".
Towards old age, people become less and less physically, socially, mentally and psychologically fit to cope with occupational demands, not to talk of rulling a nation of more than150million citizens, so retirement is compulsory.
The retirement age in Nigeria civil service guided by decree No. 102 of 1979 that dealt with pension and gratuity pegged the statutory age of retirement for public officers at 60 years, while it is 65 years for judiciary officers and 70 for academic staff of universities. However with reform of civil service decree No. 43 of 1988, retirement age has been put at 60 years or 35 years in service.

9. Must have no public record of hate speech, tribalism, nepotism, crime against humanity, pending corruption charges or history, and or affiliation with any millitant group or religion fundamentalist group or terrorist group :
We will never ever think again that people will change. Ascenssion to power only gives people the chance to express their true self.

10. Must have done something contributary to the development of your immediate environment: this is simple, is'nt it?

11. Must be well educated about the constitution of Nigeria. We are tired of reminding the government what to do and what's not to do. We are tired of reminding the government about what's in the costitution they swear to uphold. This is 21st century.
The INEC in collaoration with the National Assembly and the Judiciary Counsel of Nigeria should create an online platform where common citizen can get proper education about the Nigerian constitution. They should maku use of shot animated videos and other training material. Certificates should also be awarded.

You must be speaking for yourself ALONE, not even for your family not to talk of the larger society.

Party affiliations, religious inclination and ethnicity will still be the determinant of elections in Nigeria for many years to come.

Long overdue. Actually, I am thirsty of the intrigues of allegiance and betrayal, election or selection as the case maybe as well as the outcome which will no doubt inform what to expect in 2019.

God Bless limitlessly for this commendable observation.

First thing that came to my mind was this when I saw the states in which they trooped in to. They are states recently confronted with maiming and killings.
