They should go and beg kwankwaso to join them in pdp, to me he is the only man who is feet enough un seat the confused and un feet Buhari

First of all, oya correct yourself. Its "unfit" not. "Un feet"

ckmayoca:
It wasn't as bad as this before oh.

My dear it was worse. Shebi this one na secret, I remember the former FIRS boss okaura-Omoigui coming out to say she cant take all the people on the list of senators and politicians and still be expected to function properly. Secret recruitment has always been in govt. Buhari need to fight this

Chigold101:
bros keep politics aside.
Do we really need a loan from any country at all?
What will be the fate of us 10years from now if we keep take loans?
If FG have recorvered $9billion, what are we doing with $2billion?


That aside:
Mind u that APC wrote to the USA, UK & their allies in 2013 and told them not to sell arms & military herdwares to Goodluck Jonathan government claiming human right violations and other things.

Why do u thrive on lies. Apc never did such. Infact there was no apc until 2012. Boko haram started since 2009. Why tell lies??

NavierStokes:
Good move and a welcome development. For those who brand everyone that criticizes the govt as "wailers". Where the government does what's good or makes good appointments, they will be applauded by all because it will be evident for all to see. The opposite scenario is where you have Gray areas or ambiguous policies or policies with possible adverse effect, then be sure to get criticisms or "wailings".

This man has proved himself worthy of the office and it's a case of a round peg in a round hole.

Congratulations on your appointment Sir and please start working on at least a 5- 10 years plan for Nigeria rather than the year on year rolling wave plans we have been used to.

because na igbo now its a "good appointment" abi. Abeggi

DauraDullard0:
Why you dey Voltron for Buhari? Is he your father? Allow Buhari's children to defend their father. Some of them are members of this forum. You can't be crying more than the bereaved. Which kain?

Pls mind ur speech. U wish someone else's dad evil and expect u and ur household will escape?? Ur a joker! When u point one finger 3 points back at u

Addicted2Women:
How does this stop Buhari from losing his sight because of the ear infections that has affected his brain ??

Return to u and ur household!

Abeggi...una must find wetin to talk. ambassador na chieftany title Hian!

youngeagle:
let them extend that goodwill to classroom teachers if its not for selfish purposes Mr know all

What u have said now has no bearing with my comment. What is wrong with u

ShowYourCertificate:
The northern elites are to be blamed

Same way the niger delta elders shld be blamed for NDA

NavierStokes:
And hasn't the system been running since members of the last set were recalled?
At a time of economic gloom such as this which obviously is an emergency, I think making appointments such as this is the last thing the hungry man I see everyday, wants to hear. Whichever way we try to argue it doesn't take away the fact that the timing of the appointments is insensitive considering what the country is going through, or did the president just realize he needed to have representations out there?

Try and learn, not just argue for the sake of arguing. Show some level of maturity ok.

ceejay4real:
A Yorubar troll spotted! Go take ur medicines bro cos it's crystal clear u re suffering from POLITICAL AMNESIA!

Shey u cant reason beyond tribalism. Its always one form of hate or the other. Rubbish

youngeagle:
What's the essence of buying a car for a man who can buy Ten of those thing in a minute,to me its a misplaced priority,and this has been a trend since the OBJ administration.

Stop saying what u dont know. Magistrates are not rich. They are not even judicial officers. Pls stop this mentality that every public office is avenue to be a millionaire

NavierStokes:
Yes true bro, but at a time like this I am afraid it is. The people on the street of those who voted will all agree that it's quite insensitive considering current realities.

Insensitive how?? These people have jobs to do. Or shld we leave our embassies unmanned. To be ambassador is not a chieftancy title my friend. Those people represent the President in those countries and they our vital for international diplomacy and foreign policy. Its not a joke

NavierStokes:
"Manufacturing" more political appointees to drain the little change we have left in the system. This government has a very good knack for "majoring" in minor issues and "minoring" in major issues.

Appointment of ambassador is not a minor issue

byrron:
Where you in coma when he conveyed a National Confab for that same purpose?

And what happened to the outcome Were u under a rock when he refused to implement it, with different versions flying around??

You are right that federalism is not necessarily about regions. America has federalism but has no regions. However, Nigeria is not America. While America is a nation of immigrants, Nigeria is a nation of ethnic nationalities with different norms and customs. The states cannot be the federating unit because they only encourage 'divide and rule'. We must revert back to the regional form of Government. We Igbos will agree to be divided into 'states'. The southern minorities can have their own region(s) if that what the want. The federating units must be amongs the ethnic nationalities who share common norms and value system and not states created by military men.

Thats both impractical and unnecessary. That is why I always warn against all this massob, ipob etc. Its very easy to disintergrate but virtually impossible to come together. There is no way an anambra man will agree for an ebonyi man to be premier of ur so called "region". Just as u cant merge back edo and delta states, nobody will ever agree. But more importantly, I dont see any advantage to regionalism over what we have now. No benefit whatsoever

attackgat:
With federalism will come the dissolution of the states and the creation or regions. In the context of Nigeria, the states cannot be the federating units

You shld probably read up the meaning of federalism...it has nothing to do with regions or how the country is divided. Rather how it is run. Nigeria has come a long way from regional government. It will be almost impossible to go back!

joyandfaith:
integrity alone cannot run government. buhari has no idea of governance. he needs to resurrect idiagbon to run government for him. ask elders about buhari of 1983-85.

We are in 2016. Its a different country with different set of problems. Wake up to reality!

The difference between jonathan regime and Buhari regime is intergrity and sincerity. This is the reason why there are no protests on the streets. The truth is that jonathan regime was so corrupt that nobody believed anything coming out ofgovt. The stealing was unprecedented and mind boggling. Compared with this regime where everything is open and we can see the problems clearlywe all know oil price has flopped, we are all aware of the activities of militantsn for the tomato crisis we all know its a result of pests.

That said, I think Buhari need to start working asap!

attackgat:
You are echoing the sentiments of the OP without knowing it. Don't you know that with true federalism/regionalism/confederation, their will be no 'seriake Dickson' or even 'Bayelsa state' to owe money to? When the regions take form, premiers will be directly in control of their resources and as such, will be held directly accountable to people. Not this stupid unitary system where everyone is waiting for money from Abuja and is accountable to nobody

I dont think u got my point. Federalism is good on paper, but impractical in reality (at least in the short run). Federalism is something we work towards not to wake up one morning and tell everybody there is no more allocation. Apart from the economic concerns, there is also the issue of security. Imagine if we were operating strict federalism now, NDA would have overpowered the state govt and taken over. Also remember that in federalism all the states are responsible for their own security. Now tell me, can delta state match the fire power of NDA? Federalism has extensive ramifications that we are not ready for

blackmatter007:
The matter is getting worse day by day, and buhari seem not moved by it.

Sometimes i wonder why the federal government which has a big imprint of the north is afraid of true federalism, what are they scared of, because the last time i checked nigerians (south) have screamed , yelled and even protested for it. We all know and even the government knows that true federalism will stop the myriad of problems facing nigeria, there will be less agitation and massive development .

With true federalism, i believe the north can be far greater and more richer than it is today.
But will the northern oligarchs allow it?
Can mere protest move the government to consider true federalism?
The answer is, capital NO for both questions.

I don't support NDA destructive tendencies but a part of me is happy because i see the nigerian government forced to consider true federalism with a 50/50 sharing fomular. And to add to true federalism, all political prisoners must be released eg: kanu in order to quell agitations and unwanted protest.

In true FACT, NDA is the intelligent group here, far intelligent than the federal government of Nigeria because their demands is the medicine to Nigeria's sickness.

Why did u not sing true federalism during the 6yrs of jonathan's regime?? Its now u suddenly woke up from slumber to sing federalism. Keep supporting vandals and hooligans, we will all suffer the blackouts, nofuel, poverty and no jobs together! Soon u wont have light or foe to be commenting on NL, na dat time ur eye go open. Smh

This has already been approved by the legislature so I think its too late to complain. But that said, I dont think all projects are supposed to cost the same. Its a different terrain, different contractor, different cost of building materials and cost of transporting same etc

You seem to be placing the blame on federal govt alone, but federalism is not the problem. Rather its greed, corruption and sheer madness. For example look at bayelsa, one of the smallest states and receives one of the highest allocation. But what do we have? Seriaki Dickson is owing workers more than 12months salary. No infrastructure, zero development, zero investments. Will u still blame federal govt?

The truth is that states can not cope with true federalism. Apart from lagos, no other state can exist without allocation. They dont have the capacity or will to create opportunity for themselves except fg intervenes

Na wailers just full NL sha

True sha

Very true. Buhari has to be brutal if nigeria is to survive. The era of soft persuasion is over

Jirate:
Both of you are childish judging from your comments. Is Buhari above the Constitution? Might be you have never given that document a glance, please do.

Actually u are the one who is childish. U cant reason dispationately. The constitution gives the president power over passport, customs, airports and air space. You may not like it but if govt is determined that u wont travel, u aint going nowhere!

Meanwhile some others are too busy destroying their community in d name of avengers. Mumu oshi

Worthless judgement

Ecowas court is not recognised in nigerian constitution!

Ok na...who's runway will Fayose use??

Ekiti state should construct its own runway, terminals etc. That way Buhari cant do anything. Till then, sorry remains ur case

Why are doctors always going on strike? Its becoming annoying. Are they the only ones being owed. Not to mention 90% of them still run their private practice. Nonsense
