His short stature disqualified him. Every year thousands of applicants do not make the cut if they fail health screening, do not meet minimum educational or height requirement. They will leave the recruitment venue to go and pursue other endeavors. Northern candidates must always run to an Emir to collect letter to bypass laid down rules

mu2sa2:
I hope you are not confusing issues. A poor boy ran to the emir because he was schemed out of Nda admission. The emir helped and he is been hailed even to this day. Are you criticising the emir for his act of magnanimity?

Those countless research institutions are busy researching and developing prototype machine for the roasting of kilishi.

USA food security stems from Genetic modifications.

When you talk about improved seeds....there are countless research in Nigeria on these...pest resistance, disease resistance, drought resistant and other improved seedlings are available in Nigeria farms. It is not enough for sustainable food security we are talking about.
USA largely depends on GMO not improved seeds

Immediately I saw "President Buhari is determined to....bla bla bla", I just stopped reading the lies and propaganda. Going round to compile the struggles and sweat of a few agric entrepreneurs and claiming them as Federal govt achievement, is the normal lies and deception of this government.

If you really want to know the truth about the parlous and sorry state of farming in Nigeria go and talk to the following:

1) Erisco Foods who believed the lies of this govt and invested heavily to set up tomatoes puree processing plant. Nigerian Customs colluded with importers and smugglers to flood the market with imported tin tomato. The man shouted and got tired. At the end he closed the factory down.

2) Dangote set up tomatoes puree factory, same thing happened. He closed the plant down because banditary and killing of farmers by herdsmen ensured the plant did not have enough tomatoes to keep it running.

3) Large scale rice farmers in Benue, Plateau, Taraba, Adamawa, Kaduna, Zamfara, and many Northern states cannot go thier farms due to killings and kidnappings by fulani herdsmen.

4) Air Marshall Alex Badeh former Chief of Defense Staff was trailed and brutally murdered in an ambush along the Keffi – Abuja expressway on the evening of the 18th of December 2018 on his way back from his farm. His farm is now a no go area, and abandoned for herdsmen to graze on his rice farm.

5) In Southern Kaduna, Gov El-Rufai is implementing his own version of religious progroms, and systematically wiping away hundreds of Christian farming villages. Farmers are now refugees in IDP camps. They can't access thier farms due to unrelenting killings and kidnappings. El-Rufai's indolent son refers to this mindless killings as "sweet revenge".

6) In Kwara state, Ex-naval chief, Vice-Admiral Samuel Afolayan's, 20 hectares of orange plantation, 20 hectares of cassava farm and 5 hectares of palm plantation was burnt by herdsmen.

The farm was about 500 hectares and damages were out at over N200 million.

To put it in his words, Admiral Afolayan said
“The burning of my farmland has become an annual routine".

President Buhari and his IG of police kept mute. Till date no single herdman or culprit has been apprehended. Agric revolution indeed!!

7) Many rice farms of prominent Benue and Plateau public figures who spoke up against the obnoxious Buhari cattle colony and subsequently the rubbished RUGA, were simply set ablaze by herdsmen and whatever was left was grazed on.
Buhari again pretended nothing was amiss. As usual, he and his govt played dumb and mute. Till date, nobody has been arrested.

These few examples represent the true face of Buhari's agric revolution. Believe this Agric Revolution lies at your perish

So who has been in charge of revenue from these parastatals before now? Marlins or ghosts?

Just when you think this government cannot shock you again, they outdo themselves in confusion, lies and tomfoolery

Everytime the truth that Buhari circumvented the admission process by collecting a letter from an Emir to gain admission into Nigerian military school which he was not qualified for, they will start mouthing this US War College short course being equivalent to MSc nonsense, which the war college has since denounced.

Of all his military school classmate from other parts of the country, how many of them collected letters from their traditional rulers to bend and sidestep admission requirements?

Someone is even praising the late Emir of Zauzzau as being a good man because he wrote to the commandant of NDA to admit a Northern student who could not meet the height requirements. He reportedly said in the letter that the school should borrow part of his height and add to that of the unqualified candidate, and the his wish was granted. Why must the rules always be bent for candidates from the Northern part of the country? Why Northerners are not ashamed of theses things including the almajiri begging system beats my imagination

mu2sa2:
I hope you know that in those days to complete secondary school was an achievement in itself. In fact, the handful of university graduates went into the civil service to become permanent secretaries or to academics to become professors. People like Buhari joined the army out of passion and because of the opportunity for training and educational advancement. Buhari went to US War College- his certificate from there is more valuable than the piece of paper your have today with Bsc stamped on it.

maasoap:
You guys just like to politicise everything, the same way you politicised the kidnapping of Chibok girls and half of them were never found till today!
Then, I should go and listen to the rant from one ex CBN deputy governor who said many things without saying anything helpful. That's nice. He's more like an average attention seeker.

I believe the term "you guys" refers to El-Rufai, Tinubu, Hadiza Bala, Oshiomole, and infact the entire APC infrastructure. El-Rufai was the arrowhead in the politicisation of the kidnap of chibok girls. It was squeezed and hyped and milked by APC to garner public sympathy and rubbish GEJ govt as incapable of rescuing the girls. Tinubu leveraged the Western press to carry strips and daily countdowns on the number of days Chibok girls have been in captivity. Hadiza Bala, El-Rufai's protege and current NPA MD was an activist in that BBOG movement.

No sooner than election victory was achieved the virulent media political campaign was suddenly stopped. The running of countdown by Nation and other western newspapers were also stopped. Hadiza Bala abandoned the campaign and took up political office. Buhari started shunning and refused to even receive or sympathise with the families of the Chibok girls. The parents and coordinator of BBOG wept and cursed Buhari and APC for using and dumping them.

One of the despicable character of the Buhari govt and it's political strategists is the believe that you can lie and twist facts, and somehow Nigerians with thier short memory will not remember.

"You guys" politicized the BBOG campaign and the tears of those girls will exact retribution from you guys.

Meanwhile, El-Rufai is implementing the religious and ethnic cleansing of christian villages in Southern Kaduna using scorched earth tactics. The blood of those innocent souls exterminated by the blood-thirsty El-Rufai will haunt him and his family for ever. He is angling to be President in 2023, so he can implement the Southern Kaduna killings in a national scale. The nation is waiting for him.

If the scope of mechanical engineer is beyond petrol engine and grinding machines, that means it should be a piece of cake for that engineer to fix na.

Ok. Let us forget those ones I mentioned. Can he fix the ones you listed: turbines, compressors, valves, refrigeration units, etc?

If he is serious about the job, I am still waiting for his response. Or maybe you can answer for him

Greatken007:
Oga that is not the job of a mechanical engineer , don't confuse it with Automobile engineer... Mechanical Engineering is far beyond that scope... Energy and power ,Materials , Refrigeration and air conditioning ,pumps ,valves ,compressors ,turbines , production/ designs etc are few aspect of mechanical engineering. The word Mechanic and mechanical are completely different.Thank you.

Ize Iya-Mumu

Is OK!. Is OK!!
Off the mic. No loud am again

Don't allow Dino to hear this name ooo. He will make a song with it

Slawormir:
Damnnnnn niggarrr
Isoright.....you tell us say ize Iya mumu na thief inside 2016...then you come 2020 come tell us again say he nor be thief again.... wetin dey worry oshiomhole...he dey feel say Edolite na children or them nor get sense way he fit dey play with anyhow... oshiomhole is going down

As at yesterday Edo state ministry of land and survey dey talk say the land measuring 1000ft by 2000ft along the Benin Abuja road where Adam oshiomhole build he mansion belongs to the government

The land was supposed to be used for government secondary school for boys proposed by former governor Ambrose Ali....

I don first talk am say oshiomhole, Kabaka, ize Iya mumu, captain hosa and tinubu don't know what they have put their hand into....the beginning of the end of oshiomhole and Kabaka is imminent

Ordinary diesel locomotive train that has no more than 5 coaches is what they are crowing about. In Tokyo all trains are high speed electric trains going at speeds over 320km/hr. The length of each train stretches for over 300 metres

Our 5 coach diesel locomotive is huffing and puffing at maximum snail speed of 70km/h .

We are truly shameless

Only in Nigeria, my dear professor. However in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Algeria, Kuwait, UAE, Iran, etc, all OPEC countries like Nigeria, government is successfully running refineries in those countries.

Infact, tiny Kuwait even owns refineries and chains of filling stations across Europe called Q8. Our leaders are truly shameless and clueless

Kriss216:
Tinubu didn't Sell any integrity. You can't sell what you don't have. Tinubu and Integrity are two parallel lines that can never meet.

Fixed!!!

You are are not up to date. Boko Haram has gone beyond technical defeat. They have been "kinetically defeated". Please contact General Buratai for confirmation

DonEd:
They should be ashamed to even mentioned that they lost a colonel because they were ambushed by the same terrorists that have been technically defeated, which technically we know its audio technically.

Interventions like this to frustrate and circumvent laid down rules and due processes is precisely the reason Nigeria has retrogressed under the political overlordship of Northern fulani hegemony.

Buhari got admitted to Nigerian Military school with without WAEC result on the strength of a letter from his Emir. JAMB cut off marks are lowered for certain parts of the country to enable them gain admission to University.

The rest of the country is being held back in the vain hope the Northern part of the country will catch. It is a backward, corrosive and archaic policy. It never worked and will never work. It doesn't even help the North because it disincetivizes them to strive like the rest of the country because they believe one Emir or an influential army officer will always bend the rules for them in employment or educational contest. So why bother to apply themselves.

This is the foundation of the entitlement mentality that pervades the psyche of a typical Northener, including the current President Muhammed Buhari

nBag:
ya bro.
I once heard someone applied for NDA with no one to help. but was rejected reason is he couldn't make the required height. somehow the news gotto the emir, who wrote to the registrar. that they should take from his height and add to that of the applicant
that's how the boy was admitted

GBLasko:
Good evening highly esteemed Nairalanders.
Please I'm desperately in need of a job.
I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering and I'm willing to work anywhere.

As mechanical engineer can you repair cars (diesel or petrol engines) or caterpillar generators, or cassava grinding machines?

maasoap:
I'm sure Boko Haram just woke up one day and decided to leave local government areas they were controlling before. Boko Haram just woke up one day and stopped bombing mosques, churches, market places and motor parks because they have repented.

All those bombings that was masterminded by El-Rufai and that former governor of Borno to create a climate of insecurity in the build up to 2015 elections? You better go and listen to Malaifa's (former CBN deputy governor). interview. The truth is already out.

The genie is out of the bottle, and they cannot control the ISWAP and Boko Haram elements they used to unleash terror and bombings in the build up to 2015 elections. It has metamorphosed into widespread banditary and kidnappings in the entire North. Katsina, the President's home state, Zamfara, and Kaduna are now hotbed of kidnappings and burning of villages.

El-Rufai just shut that your lying mouth there. Two fat lies he kept repeating:

1) 2-3 weeks before election, polls indicated APC was going to win.

Comment:
Who conducted the poll? Publish those polls for everyone to see

2) President Buhari does not use Federal might to steal elections like previous governments.

Comment:
Please tell us which government produced the magic of inconclusive election in Osun State? Which government carried out the daylight robbery, thuggery and all sorts of violence to steal Kogi governorship election?

This is what you get when a nepotic government decides to adopt a Fulanisation policy of putting Fulani as head of all Federal government parastatals and agencies. From NPA, Customs, FIRS, NIPOST, NCDC, Immigration (NIS), Police, Army, Airforce, NITDA, NCAA, NBC, Prison Services, Etc.

Those places are just chopping centres for them. They are not there to serve you as citizens.

Why is Uzodinma crying more than the bereaved? Has he not heard that the loser Ize-Iyamu has already congratulated Obaseki the winner?

All I'm seeing there the MIG helicopters being offloaded from a larger transport plane whose fuselage is opened upwards. No pictures of any reactivation

When they could not fight Boko Haram on ground, they resorted to deceiving us with video game clips of imaginary Boko Haram camps being destroyed from the air. Let them continue with the lies, the deception will not last forever

Nbotee:
He shld have stayed in Edo to announce the rejection instead of running to Owerri to reject it.. . Where are those mor.ons dat claimed ipobs have been running their mouth about the Edo election. Can we now say Edolites have spoken or Ipobs have won?

This got me

This is the third time this fraudulent government will be removing subsidy on petroleum products and implementing full deregulation of downstream sector.

Before 2023, Buhari will still deregulate and and remove subsidy again. Very clueless and deceptive government. Telling lies is a central policy framework of this government

Mallam Mele Kyari so you, and the government you serve know this level of monumental fraud exists. And you know the fuel subsidy fraudsters because you process and approve the subsidy payments. How many of these fraudsters have you arrested or prosecuted? If you have not arrested anybody, better shut your mouth because even the NNPC you run is a citadel of fraud.

Second time I'm reading about thunder unleashing havoc on herdsmen and their cows in Southwest since Amotekun was formed. I'm smelling something. Anyway, whatever they are doing they should teach Easterners, Middle Belt people and South South people. They need it also

Racoon:
Imagine the audacity of the Bullion van man in insulting the sensibility of Edo people. An undemocratic man lecturing people on democracy.The collapse of APC is @ hand.

That part was the most disgusting to watch. A man who has refused to allow democratic freedom and space to thrive in Lagos lecturing others on the same topic. And he was even arrogating to himself the title of Purveyor of Democracy for Nigeria. How he came about that delusional belief, I don't know

ellizy:
I pray God who saves the Edolites will save the lagosian someday....
Jimi Agbaje isn’t good enough to be the flag bearer against Animal People Congress APC

Don't blame Jimi Agbaje. He is a good product. The problem is the agbero and oppressive political culture in Lagos presided over by Tinubu.

They used a combination of spurious tax and land use charge assessment to cripple him financially, and his pharmacy business.

Tinubu's political dominance of Lagos is built on thuggery and a complex system of inducements, settlements, intimidation and witch-hunting. This model of politics is what is has foisted on all Southwest states who drink from his poisoned chalice. Oyo and Edo simply rejected it.

sreamsense:
You people have started with rubbish analysis now. Why didn't you talk about this rubbish before election started if really you were sure ? Starting analysis after market has closed.

The analysis is very accurate, incisive, and educating. It is loaded with incontrovertible facts. Can you muster any point to debunk the truth in the analysis?

A beautiful sight to behold.

Chime excellent performance in road construction made Enugu easily the most beautiful and comfortable city to drive around. Wide boulevard and excellent drainage even in coal camp area. Traffic is very rare.

NwekeUG:
IgbereTV reports that former Governor of Enugu State, Barr. Sullivan Chime, paid a visit his political Godfather and former Governor of Enugu State, Senator Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani, at the latter's residence at Ojiagu Agbani, Enugu State.

Pictures from the visit were shared on Senator Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani's Facebook page with the caption:

IgbereTV understands that both former governors had a disagreement when Sullivan was governor.

kaludestiny10:
Why is the state government denying the existence of that taskforce. Every local government has its own taskforce that generates revenue for them by selling branded wastebaskets to commercial buses and shops. So its not a new thing. And the price for those branded wastebaskets is double of what its being sold in the market.
They also have the ones that Itire officials sold to each compound in her jurisdiction.
So no be new thing.

You know their system very. That's what they do

175:
No mind Lagos State Government.

This is like throwing their touts under the bus!

Investigate wella now, u shall discover the politician it was used to settle for his efforts towards sending Ambode away last term!

You sabi LASG reward system wella. They create something for everyone to chop clean mouth

Beverlyjean:
He is a broker

Broker indeed!!
More like money launderer and high class pìmp for politicians

I want either Vee or Neo to win head of house....

And the remaining five housemates will be up this week...

I want to see something

The only thing you will see are those 2 eating voraciously as usual. After eating na to sleep like logs of wood.
