So Mr President has been laying solid foundation for the past six months since he became president? To be sincere, He spent much time laying such foundation.
As for the ministers,i don't expect anything extra-ordinary from them because most of them are known to be career politicians.

I wish the president all the best.

All I know is that dude is not trying in the area of security...
Seems armed robbers are now having confidence to operate at will.... It was not like this during the previous administration.

You call this coverless ?

Definitely on Agege weed

It appears like you are fed up with the unfriendly atmosphere.I would advice you to QUIT the job only when you've gotten a better offer. It's not advisable to QUIT a job when you are yet to secure another one.

You shouldn't be concerned about what your colleagues are saying about you.Opinion is like Asshole, everyone is entitled to one. Just focus on your job and keep looking out for a better offer.

I wish you all the best.

I am yet to see any meaningful bill being passed in the senate. All we've been seeing are pictures as if we voted for them to be taking pictures up and down.

God bless Nigeria

My alma mater, I remember back then when men were still undergraduates, UNN school fees use to be at par with other federal universities. But the reverse is the case now.

It's getting to the level where the child of a poor parent won't be able to afford the school fees of federal universities.

Watch out for midomedia

This thread is meant to expose the unethical behavior of some IKEDC(Ikeja Electricity Distribution company) employees in Lagos State. They have been exploiting Lagosians the way they like. I just moved in to a new apartment and the landlord of my apartment lives very far from the house.The house is yet to be electrified so we have been in darkness for some times.All effort to make the landlord fix the issue of the electricity proved abortive.I decided to take the bull by the horns, i approached the IkEDC office in my area at Alimosho and inquired about the procedures to take as a new user/subscriber.

I was told to pay the sum of three thousand naira into IKEDC Zenith Account.I paid the amount into the account and i went back to them. Only for the staff to tell me that i have to pay additional Five thousand for Registration.I told them that If am to pay the sum of five thousand naira for registration, why not give me IKEDC account so that i can pay it into the account and come back with the teller. They insisted that i must pay it to them in cash. That was when i realized that there is NOTHING like Five thousand Registration fee. They collected the money and no receipt was given to me.I decided to call a brother of mine who also work with IKEDC and asked about the REGISTRATION ISSUE.He said "bro, you've been scammed ".

I believed many lagosians would have been scammed also, just like the way i was scammed this morning. I am calling on the authority of Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company to talk some sense into their staff. We can not continue to be exploiting ourselves in this country and expect greatness as a nation. We keep blaming our leaders for looting the the nation's treasury but we refused to acknowledge the fact that 90 percent of Nigerians if not 99 percent are corrupt.


Is it a crime that Former president Jonathan privatized P H C N?

Bro, you cannot help her do the registration. Your thumbprint is different from her own and she will use it in camp for verification or else, she will be rusticated from the camp.
Tell her to do it herself.

Bro, I didnt say i want to help her to do the thumb printing.. She is with me for the thumb printing. Its just that whenever i get to the point of thumb printing, I do get this error message "com.digitalPersonal.onetouch.jni.JniException"..

Do u know the solution?

Good day

A friend of mine who will be going for service with the next batch asked me to help her to do her online registration.
I have installed the driver for digitalPersona scanner and i also have Java installed on my system. But each time i tried to do the thumb printing, i keep getting this error "com.digitalpersona.onetouch.jni.JniException"

Who can help me to rectify this error pls...

Have searched google and couldn't get any solution.

I think the idea of giving a range may be detrimental sometimes..
For instance, I was negotiating with an employer sometimes ago and he asked me how much am i looking up to..
Yours sincerely gave him a range like 60-90, after the whole thing the man offered me the least value of the range which is 60k.

I realized that if i should have given him an exact figure like 90k, the man would have agreed because he needed my service badly ..

so giving a range can be funny sometimes

Keyamo is entitled to his opinion, you are also entitled to yours, the fact that you disagree does not make his opinion "bullshit".

Agreed bro

forix4u:
U all shud keep quiet and let d president work. It is clearly seen that u all r tribalistic because every complain I've seen so far are just abt southerners how come nobody is talking abt the east, middle bent, d niger delta and s SS All u guy r complaining abt is southerners not been appointed. Nigerias!!! Tribalism in our blood. Tho I don't support d appointments so far it shud b equal bt u guys shld stop complaining abt d south as if it were d only place in d country.

Niger delta and as are not part of the south right ? They are not southerners right ? Am not tribalist , buhari is the tribalist here

Nigeria policemen, I just don't know why am not always feeling them.

I must confess, I hate them mehn..

Ok

Keyamo doesn't know what he is talking about. So because Buhari needs people who can get the job done, he can only get those set of people from a section of the country.

So we don't have people from the south who can make things happen right ? Public administration has now become rocket science which cant be understood by the southerners ?

As far as am concerned, Nigeria belongs to everyone of us and no ethnic group should be superior in this country. Every ethnic group must be carried along.

Keyamo you are bigger than this bullshit mehn..

talk2yommex2000:
Please house, is anyone having information about Goodwill International School, Ikorodu. A younger brother of mine learnt through his friend who applied there recently that a written test/interview is to take place there on Saturday (tomorrow). My questions are as follows:

1. Is gate-crashing possible?
2. What is their pay range (i.e. salary structure)
3. What to prepare for (i.e. likely questions and format for both test and interview)

Gate crashing is allowed, you may get the job by gate crashing. Who knows ?

Let's assume you can teach geography, when you get to venue of the interview, you would be asked of the subject you applied for(that is if they don't have the list of applicants ), tell them the subject you know u can teach...
Questions relating to such Subject would be set as interview questions..

As regards to salary structure, bro I don't know it becoz I stay far from ikorodu.

delman88:
Kindly answer this question, if you are president, would you pick pple you hardly know around you

So if you happens to be the president, you will be appointing your family members into your cabinet simply because you don't know other families
so well ?

Does that sound right to you?

mbhs139:
I feel you, but performance still remains the issue that needs to be considered here. Besides, I don't know where this theory of "the easterners are being left out because they give him less votes..." comes from. I don't think PMB and the #APC would be that politically naive to think in that direction. I sincerely doubt that.

As regards to the theory, you should be able to deduce that from the manner in which he made his appointments..

akinladejo:
you people caused it now. It was u guys that said ameachI and fashola is corrupt and they block south and west chance.

So apart from fashola and amaechi , no other incorruptible people right ? Even in the east ?

Mcaise:
I guess it wasnt fair to him too when they did not vote for him.

So because they didnt vote for him, he should neglect them ?

President Buhari's Yankee Problem
By Pius Adesanmi.

Baba Buhari's trip to America was bound to have positive and negative effects.
I think one negative effect is that he learnt a thing or two about the philosophy of tokenist diversity in that country.
If you complain too loudly in America that the picture is too white in a particular office, they find one black or Asian or Latino employee to mix things up a bit and keep you quiet. Diversity accomplished.

Every time President Buhari parsimoniously makes appointments he does not want to make - I think the President prefers sole administratorship - he works from the American script of tokenist diversity and throws in one name selected by ballot from below the Niger - which he drowns in a sea of upper Niger appointments.

No problem. Ko si wahala. However, a few points must be made for the record so that it shall not be said that those who want him to succeed kept quiet while he was digging needless graves for himself:
Tokenist diversity may quieten the storm in America where President Buhari studied the script, in Nigeria, it sets a fire and pours petrol into it. It causes disaffection. It makes governance difficult or impossible. It causes endless distraction from more urgent issues.
More urgent issues like corruption - which is what we mainly hired President Buhari to do. Fight corruption and restore integrity to our system: that is the primary job description we gave you, President Buhari. Everything else is secondary. You cannot do that if you make every appointment from Daura.

As is, Nigeria is one of the most unfair and most unjust countries on the face of the earth. To fight corruption, you have to work very hard to increase the feeling that fair and just have begun to return to the polity. How are you going to increase the fortunes of fair and just in Nigeria when even your most ardent supporters will have to assume that other Nigerians are stupid to be able to defend, justify or rationalize these new appointments?

Baba Buhari, ta lo gun 'yan fun yin to ni t'obe o soro? There is a level of national consensus and goodwill you need to fight corruption. It is difficult enough as it is: Peace Committees, Jonahideens, and all sorts enemies of progress have become veritable obstacles to the anti-corruption war. the distraction that the enemies of the anti-corruption war are causing is massive. And there is also those who support anti-corruption so long as it does not touch those they have turned into saints in APC. We need to work on those psychologies and convince them that anti-corruption must not have exceptions. How can we do all these when you are making lopsided appointments - the easiest way to "heat up the polity" in Nigeria!

How do you create a critical mass of support for the anti-corruption war when you always deliberately worsen your perception problems, arm the enemies of the anti-corruption war with the infuriating ethnic lopsidedness of your appointments? Baba Buhari, why is it that every time your supporters and those of us who are genuinely investing our souls in this anti-corruption war want to go to town with your efforts, you take a Kalachnikov, aim it at your own head, and open fire?

Baba Buhari, why do you always take a petrol shower whenever your enemies are ready with matches?
Here is how it goes, Baba Buhari. I'm all for merit and I dream of a Nigeria where it would be all that matters. We shall get there and one leader must be bold enough to set us on that course. I think you could still be that leader but there are foundation stones you are ignoring.
Come with me:

I am realistic enough to understand that we will have to take baby steps, careful steps, towards that Nigeria of the future. That Nigeria where quota shall be a thing of the past; where all 36 Ministers can come from Isanlu and it wouldn't matter, so long as they are competent and meritorious.

But our leader must understand that the building blocks towards that Nigeria involve a great deal of national healing, of national trust building, of national confidence building, of atonement, of appeasement, of addressing unaddressed grievances and silenced tragedies of our past. These things need to be done methodically and painstakingly so that everybody will come to have a patriotic stake in Project Nigeria.
You cannot frog march Nigeria to this destination overnight by making all your appointments from Daura. The enabling psychological atmosphere of confidence in Nigeria - built on a system which the majority of our people see, feel, and agree is just and fair - must be put in place first.

For now, you must do things, bearing in mind the fact that:
We need our first eleven in appointments. There is no ethnic nationality, no geopolitical region without competent and meritorious first elevens. For the sake of the anti-corruption war and to avoid the distraction we do not need, stop this lopsidedness in what is left of your appointments and try to create a sense of fairness, justice, and balance by looking at first elevens beyond the north.
There is no conceivable excuse for the Secretary to the Federal Government not to have come from the South East or South-South. Haba!

There are some things that some of us who support you will not allow you to do to yourself, to do to Nigeria.
Baba Buhari, not even you, have the right to put needless and unwanted problems on the path of the anti-corruption war that is now in motion. Lopsided appointments can derail the anti-corruption war faster than Jonahideens and Peace Committees by poisoning the national environment with perception issues.

This is about Nigeria.
I have said my own o. Ehen.
Owo mi ma re o funfun nene.

mbhs139:
It's just too early for you to give up on a man you campaigned so hard for, simply because of his appointments so far. I think what should be paramount to you is service delivery. Let me ask you, my friend, would you decline to pick a job in a firm simply because majority of people working there are not from your geo political zone?

I think we aren't getting something right here. Initially, PMB was accused of being a religious bigot. But now that he seems to be appointing mainly Christians from the Northern part of the country, he's now being considered as being tribal. I don't think this is fair enough.

Bro, appointment should not be made in such a way that it will favour one part of the country than the other..

Every ethnic group should always be carried along, the easterners are being left out because they gave him less votes during the last presidential election. Which does not make any sense to me, South easterners are also Nigerians and they must be carried along irrespective of the number of votes they gave him in the last presidential election.

NB: Am also from the north, north central precisely.

2pointsonly:
I am still hopeful o, my vote must NOT be a waste.

Lets hope so
