ibrash600: I tink FG should treat those lecturers like dis, d so called ASUU, dy ar demanding increament of salary every yr....thumps up 4 fashola....

Myopic! Yet you want to develop as a nation. Without academics? Sincerely You people are not ready.

Another Government propaganda! 378 Docs for 16 million Lagosians- with a high population growth rate. Any government that does not value the health of its nation is a failed government- that is what development is all about. The Docs have only asked for the basics to keep them going. They're not asking to be paid what their counterparts earn earn in Europe- that would be unreasonable. It's a very myopic decision on the part of the government. You would even spend more at the end of the day as the health condition worsens. But do they care, they come to the UK for NHS treatment where the Doctors are better remunerated leaving our own Docs to rot. I don't wanna see Docs taking bribes in Hospitals to alter health reports, it means something is wrong with their remuneration. It is a shame on Nigeria. How do you develop with hungry Doctors? Any development plan without taking this into consideration is a failed plan.

Some customs are best left as they are supposed to be.. untainted and sacred.[/quote]Have you heard of the Da Silva or the Fernandez family? These are earlier settlers who returned as slaves from the Carribeans to Lagos. There is no denying the influence of the Carribean culture on the descendants of these returnee slaves.

[quote author=Okija_juju]The sad thing is that the entire SOuth-South and South East hold on to very strong traditional values.

Have you seen the Ofala festival in Anambra State?! Have you seen the New yam celebrations?! Everything is in line with our traditions and customs.. You dont need to look out for light skinned beautiful girls and handsome men to know that this is an Igbo festival..

Look at the pictures on this thread... At first I thought someone was showing us pictures from brazil.. There is nothing Yoruba about those pictures..

Not even a single tribal mark on the faces of the participants which proves that they are Igbos or southerners.

Are Yoruba people ashamed of their culture?! Where is their talking drums? Where are the tribal marked men dancing out of tune and jumping up and down like deranged monkeys? Where are the over-weight & haggared-looking Iyabos and Atinukes?! Out their faking oyinbo and speaking in an accent they got from their 1 week trip to the UK.[/quote]Good Ofala festival! What has your moronic Governor, Peter 'Adaobi' done to develop the festival? Absolutely nothing, yet you are here casting people who are improving the life in their own region. As I said continue deceiving yourselves.

You keep making noise when there is nothing on ground in Igbo land. Keep deceiving yourselves screaming Yoruba and Hausa while development eludes your tribe. Tomorrow you would come and show us photos of Owerri which has not moved beyond where Mbakwe left in 1981. Yeye dey smell!

bb16: wow, this is a total deviation from the main point...

Never mind, just pulling Jona's internet rats legs.

[size=16pt]Another laudable achievement by GEJ's government. Who says the transformation agenda is not in motion?[/size]

For over 10 years I prayed the "prayer against bribery and corruption in Nigeria" as prescribed by the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria. The funny thing was the same people wey dey pray this prayer na dem dey chop church money. If them do harvest money go miss. The more we dey pray the prayer the more bribery and corruption dey increase for the country. Look stop deceiving yourselves, with the amount of prayer wey we done pray naija for done be like Yankee.

dustydee: Your idea of the civil service is not correct. Remember this is a parastatal. I work in one and your conclusions are incorrect. I agree that in the mainstream civil service the above happens but not in alot of parastatals-that I know firsthand. You don't fight corruption with corruption and illegality.

Sorry Oga but whether its SEC , NNPC , NITDA, Ministry of Defence, NPA, NNPC, JAMB or NTA all of them have the same corrupt and lazy culture. The mistake I made was to call them civil servants maybe Public Servants would have been better. Let us not deceive ourselves it is a very unproductive and over bloated public service- you might be an exception but in all that is the truth.

dustydee: everyone knows there is something personal. The lawyer mentioned it. When they make suggestions or make an argument against a position, it is met with anger and fury. That is not the way to work. If you have a boss that shoves things down your throat without letting you voice your opinion what do you do? She seems to have a temper and believes she is better than the others-which is not true.

When you people talk of carry people along, I laugh. Which Civil Servants? The ones that come to work at 12 noon and close at 3 pm? Abeg forget all these show of innocence on national TV. E be like say una so sabi these people o. They are so lazy and corrupt. I've worked in the UK civil service in one of Her Majesty's department and I can tell the difference. Some of these guys you people see no sabi use computer yet they want to be there. Oya allow young man whose got the 21st century skills to do the work. For where, dem go gree. Abeg Otteh may not be clean but these guys wey una dey see most of them are very corrupt and lazy. They can do anything to maintain the status quo.

bayooooooo: You may be right though! But all the same, she is not on top of the politics in her workplace.

Look Brother I am right. I did my NYSC in a Government Department. The new DG brought came with the intent to change the place. For where? Petition upon petition, back biting, gossip and if possible voodoo sef. It is a jungle in my honest opinion. There is no discipline. Any Oga that does not let them chop is always a bad Oga. Otteh may not be clean but the Commissioner sounds like there is something personal.

When I hear these Commissioners speak I laugh. Typical Civil Servants! Otteh has probably blocked some of their chop I chop routes hence their dissatisfaction with her.

[size=16pt]GOVERNANCE WITHIN SEC SEEMS VERY POOR!!![/size]

dounleedee: Nigeria is simply one huge joke where politicians clown with public trust and the people are left applauding their own coveted destruction. In fact, it is simply mind boggling how crazily conspicuous our legislators showcase their bias and hatred for Mrs Otteh the DG of SEC.
Whilst I’m not holding brief for Mrs Otteh; is it not disturbing that our hard working, internationally recognised bureaucrats are ridiculed publicly under the guise of probity by accusers who are themselves known felons?
We all know that over valuation of shares was responsible for the near collapse of the capital market in 2009, and the main culprits are our banks. The question is, could SEC have saved the Capital Market if the Apex Bank and NDIC the regulator and monitor of bank’s solvency failed to carry out their functions?
The speed at which the Chairman of the committee called for Mrs Otteh’s head for her non appearance yesterday says it all. Why have they not issued a warrant of arrest for the CBN governor who failed to honour their invitation but sent a deputy governor to the hearing when the Apex Bank was in fact the main actor in the systemic theft of our investments?
To add salt to our injury, that obese kleptomaniac who claims to be a teacher at Harvard, the woman that stripped us of our National Assets in collaboration with OBJ when she was the DG of NSE, was now given a field day to gloat over our heads with impudence. A woman who sold off The Nicon Nuga Hilton to herself and OBJ under Transcorp, was elevated to the status of national lecturer to further debase our collective intelligence under the theatrical satire they call Capital Market Probe.
As if this was not dehumanising enough, she was even encouraged to offer the nation palliatives for saving the Capital Market. I found myself laughing in Chinese at this institutionalised Nollywood actress. It was not surprising that she was quick to mention privatisation as one of her palliatives.
Do these people really ever steal enough
If that is what she teaches at Harvard, then our children and grand children are doomed.

Look at this man. E be like say you no know say dem dey fear Sanusi.

igbo boy: [size=14pt]i laff in plateau . No wonder his homeland has been under siege for quite sometime by those islmaists...he can say what he wants, we all know in 3 years when this entity dissolves and plateau is absorbed by arewa jihadist republic, we go know whether na wetin im fight for back then...
i have no sympathy what so ever for the killings in jos...they should blame their son for forcing them into a marriage with islamic jihadists.

You can see what Igbo land has turned to. Most of them are not very intelligent. They just make a lot of noise with nothing really to show for it. You demand freedom from Nigeria when you have not freed the 'osu's' living in a igbo land. Shame on you small mentality.

Gbawe: Outright sack is what they deserve for their abject performance here

lol Not only on Nairaland. They are everywhere on the internet spreading hate and falsehood with multiple usernames. For the discerning mind it's not difficult to identify them when you see their comments.

I hate this hypocrisy of "Respect your leaders". Respect who? People who force themselves on us by stealing our votes. I beg your pardon they are no leaders rather they are usurpers in government. You cannot act in a manner which threatens my existence and ask for respect. Respect is earned. Shall we also respect Hitler because he was a leader? [size=20pt]This hypocrisy has to stop!!![/size]

If you like make Albert Einstein a Minister under this clueless government the story would still be the same. Governance is about setting the 'tone at the top'. As someone once said, Jonathan appears a blind man crossing Third mainland bridge unaided.

Dondbuzor: Can u tell me one thing that is retarden as regard to d above presidents speech. He even acknowledge to bear d responsibility at d end of the speech, so tell me wots exactly is retarden about d above speech.
We must not say things just to be heard, let's be logical sometimes

You moan, try to put part of the blame on some people and then you say, "you are responsible". [size=20pt]NIGGA PLEEEEEEAAAASEEEEE!!![/size]

Here they come again with their otimkpu political ideology. What is even wrong with these Igbo people? Now ask them their strategy for this their 'Igbo Presidency'. None. I've said it before that the Igbo man is the biggest looser in the Nigerian project. He makes a lot of noise but there is little on the ground to back his otimkpu way of life. However, this is not to generalise. There were indeed some good Igbo men. For example, De Sam Mbakwe. With the little he had he was able to build Imo-which had Abia and some parts of Ebonyi at the time- with very little resources. Ufortunately he is no more. The Igbo man is now left in the hands of certified thugs such as Chris and Nnamdi Uba to mention a few.

[size=18pt]Another sexist post. KMT[/size]

jmaine: I expect a pig like you to come up with something better worth a good reply . . . You think i have time for your drably tribal slurs . . .

Look Mr, you are a mugu. Infact you are not just a CCM, you are an FCCM Fellow Chartered Certified Mugu! I ask again was it Obusanjo that bombed women and children at Ayakorama in 2010? Answer now all you remain an FCCM all your life.

jmaine: Yes, the way OBJ acted like a strong man in ordering the razing down of Odi and Zaki biam . .killing all and sundry in sight . . .

Another CCM Certified Mugu. Was it Obusanjo that also bombed Ayakorama?

This is PDP! Intimidate, divide and if possible kill. Is it different to the way Dikibo, Harry Marshall, Funsho Williams, Ogbonna Uche were all murdered in the hands of this criminal gang called PDP? Is it different from the way Mbadinuju murdered the Igwe's? Where are the culprits today are they not walking free? Free yourselves from this criminal gang called the PDP.

nkem Kalu: The problem is that Nigerians forget so easily......when Abacha was using Sgt. Rogers and Al Mustapha including all the members of his killer group to terrorize this country, nobody believed he was the one behind the attacks. We were being told it was NADECO members that was throwing the bombs. And here we are again.....I don't doubt anything....PDP JONATHAN and BOKO HARAM, know themselves. After all, it was still this same government that told us that BOKO Haram is faceless and at the end of the day, OBASANJO went and visited the faceless people. Now the NSA who must have done his home work very well, has thrown the biggest challenge by saying that PDP is behind BOKO Haram. Please, people should count their teeth with their tongues.

[size=20pt]Thank you for bringing the Abacha story. The fact is most of the killings in this country since pre 1960 are usually state sponsored. There is no way Jona would not know about these killings. [/size]
