WizardOfNG: How is is it wrong for Wike to highlight what a huge failure Aregbesola was, in 8 years as Interior Minister, in comparison to his successor Tunji-Ojo who had delivered countless solutions in 1 year the unbelievably incompetent Aregbe will never be able to do even if in office for 50 years?
Is it not right to show Nigerians factually that they must never swap unprecedented success with abject failure?
Aregbe and co tout themselves as "saviours". Should their sordid record.and gross failings in public office not be exposed so Nigerians know to avoid them?
Wike's message is timely and spot-on because in politics, same as shopping in the market, it should always be "caveat emptor". Buyers beware. Nigerians should not use their thumbprint to go and buy bad and rotten market for themselves.
So Aregbe is now a failure after you APC buharideens of yesterday and Bulabadeens of today hailed him for building the tallest talking drum as governor, and giving students Opon Imo android tablets..
SalamRushdie: Don't mind him , he doesn't know what he is saying ,let his car just spoil on any road in Lagos at night and he will realize he has been living in Zombie apocalypse , one early morning around 4am I ran into a hole around Chevron and tore my tires , within seconds I saw zombies coming out of every nook and cranny trying to obtain us but luckily for a military pickup came and they ran away , the military guys helped us change tyres and told us someone was killed at that same spot the night before after entering the same hole and that's why they were patrolling. See since then I don't stay out beyond 8pm again , you need to see the amount of riff raff that came out of the darkness at 4 am , I had to ask them if they don't sleep
bobonla: If him submit himself now, APC government fit go rent 15years old girl to come bare false witness. If they can hire fake bishops, and steal someone picture to claim itz balablu when he was young. Then nothing they won't do.
TruthHurts1: I have an interesting experience on this issue from my student days at OAU Ife.
I remember back then, my lecturer who comes from a prominent Yoruba family was sharing an anecdote with us about a fellow lecturer who was an Igbo man whose home had been attacked by an armed robber and how the Igbo man had overpowered the armed robber with the help of his wife who held down the criminal so her husband could beat him black and blue to the point where the armed robber started screaming for police to come and rescue him😂
It was a very funny story and we laughed even more when our lecturer told us that if it had been a Yoruba family, all you will be hearing is: "Eyin àrá àdugbó, é gbà wá"
Nigerians, funny people. LWKMD.
That armed robber remembered that police is his friend..
Softmirror: Provide evidence to this claim of your's. Because I see no reason why the government is able to provide for NYSC corp members and won't be able to provide for the military.
Secondly there is a region in this country that has chosen not to be part of the Nigerian military deliberately. In the future, they will reap the fruit of their choice.
That region that you are talking about. How well have you promoted their sons and daughters who were in the police and army since 1970?
They make up at least 25-30% of the population of this country. How many of them have gotten to the echelon of their careers in the armed forces and other paramilitary?
When was the last time an Ibo man was made the Top man in the Immigration, Customs, Police, Army or Air force?
Is that how you encourage their sons and daughters to join the forces? By placing a ceiling on the heads of the one already in there?
If not for the constitution that says every state must produce ministers, how many would have been made ministers since 1970.
Deputy National Chairman, Labour Party, Dr. Ayo Olorunfemi said, "We have learnt from that mistake and have promptly changed the name to the Directorate of Mobilisation and Integration.
You can go ahead and rename it -Bulabadeens Youth Movement. Let's see how that pans out.
Useless moles that destroyed LP after Obi took took them to the greatest height ever. About 7 million national votes, could you have done that without PO in your wildest dreams?
Why not pick the LP presidential ticket and see how many votes you will get yourself. You think say na beans?
We will see how much people are still left there soon..
dollytino4real: Like play like play i am getting addicted to eating nzu. Is there anyone in it like me? Though it removes unnecessary hunger from me but is getting me worried because of people talk
Sorry are you pregnant? It shows you may be lacking in some vitamins or minerals.
Wike can NEVER try it, he lives behind his shadows. A tyrannical coward.
Ordinary shake in the plane, he started shiiting in his pants and confessing his sins, while begging God for mercy.
When I visited in Rivers in 2008, Amaechi as Governor would secretly go and inspect projects, dressed in casual wears without any security details or fanfares.
You wouldn't even know he is the one until he start asking the contractors questions. Woe betide the contractor who is not present at the site when he visits.
He did it in Omerelu, Elele, Diobu, Ahoada etc. I use my own eyes see am korokoro.
Let Wike try and jog from his house to the next street without security, if he is not a lousy coward.
Sharpsharp00123: Good evening to everyone reading this, I believe by now every political savvy Nigerian knows our political space have been filled with series of events lately.
Just as the topic suggests, this is just a pure analysis on the glaring and obvious mistake of obi that he's minions are yet to see.
Now that obi is in the coalition, I see many obidient saying ADC should read the mood of Nigerians and give obi the ticket and many more but the reality of politics is that you won't get anything on the platter of gold but you will struggle for it.
Either you accept or not, majority of the people in the coalition have vested interest and each will chase his ambition, on this note it is safe to tell my readers that a primary election is inevitable.
Before moving to the primary proper, ask yourself this question?
Will Atiku, Amaechi , and other big wigs bury their ambition for obi?
Some said obi should sign just one term and let Atiku continue, so you think Atiku doesn't know he will be 85 by then?
Hmmmm, there are many genuine questions you have to ask yourself before been excited that obi joined the coalition.
Back to the primary, we all know obidient won't be the delegates to vote but career Politicians who need dollars!!! We all know this is Nigeria politics and without words money is needed.
So on that note, do you believe obi can outspend the ever ambitious Atiku when it comes to dollar sharing?
Once dollars is involved, it's a done deal Atiku is having the ticket n it leaves obi with vice right?
If you think obi will be the flagbearer then you are observing things with emotions, now let's be realistic. Obi as VP won't pull crowd because of the following reasons.
1) APC will use the Fulani sentiment - Buhari just left power and another Fulani is warming up just after 4 years, are they the only Nigerians?
2) The religion sentiment that obi used in the last election will no longer work again because he's now under Atiku and many now see Tinubu as a balanced Nigerian.
3) El rufai in the coalition is a turn of for many, especially southern Kaduna and majority of north central people.
On this note,it's a mistake for obi and at this point he can't even pull out of the coalition again because he will be seen as unstable.
Now what do you people think is the way out?
Cantankerous Agbero Bulabadeens giving advise to Obi and Obidients? .. Wonderful!
Obi was clearly bigger than Labour. Obi made LP popular. They should have treated him like rare diamond, but it was obvious that President Bulabar and his Bulabadeens were creating division in every major parties that gave him a run for his drug money.
If not for Mahmood Yakubu and those pot-bellied bribe-swallowing judges who were too afraid to show their faces during court proceedings, Baba bulalar would still be in bourdillon looking for mules to carry his cocaine to Kinshasa.
A man that is full of hate. Always seizing every opportunity to insult a section of the country, who will still outlive him and his generations to come.
The most divisive, bigoted and chauvanistic president ever in Nigeria.
DrFunmisticGlow: I wish I could show you what they proposed paying.
They suggested the sum of, I kid you not the sum of 1600-7700 naira per 8hrs of call(NOT PER HOUR). They also proposed that they will only pay up to 5units/ 40hrs of call.
If nigeria pays by the hour like abroad, instead of salary per month, although small, it would still be workable, meaning that the government will only be able to pay doctor for 2 calls days per month. Anything that want to happen due to lack of manpower can happen and it won't be the doctor's fault since he can't work for free.
Even a prostitute earns higher than what they want to pay a doctor for 8 hrs of call duty. They defined a unit of call as 8hrs of call duty.
Call duty is when a doctor is required to work for 24hrs or more.
In most government hospitals, the doctor will resume 8am do his/her Normal work while being on call, after he finishes his normal work, either goes to the emergency or wherever he is to do call till the next day. The next day, he reviews the patient's he saw during off hrs(4pm - till 8am next morning) after which he does the next day's work and goes home by 4pm the next day. Only to come to work the next day. Very few hospitals offer the next day as off duty
Some departments even make doctors work 72-96hr calls.(coughs in surgery/neurosurgery department)
This is different from the normal Monday 8-4pm work.
Most doctors work from minimum of 3- 10 calls per month depending on how little the workforce is.
Also, the circular also said they can only work/pay for maximum of 5 units of calls per month. Meaning that they will only pay peanuts for 40 hrs.
Which employer won't exploit that?
They want to cut doctors' salaries plain and simple.
Let them strike joor. The mumu don do.
No physician works 72 hours call in any government hospitals. Not even Residents or house officers. Most of them (Consultant) have their own private practices and do locum jobs .
If you work 72 hours at a stretch in private practices and locum jobs,it is not the government business..
Stop the pity-party propaganda and negotiate with facts.
