is either ez saying the truth or saying d otherwise .......either way why is buhari that is full of humour speak to the country for just 3-5min?? when is he coming ohm??

There is an Acting President. Responsible CEOs allow their acting Vice to act without disruption. PMB has been speaking through PYO but some just dont want to listen.

Find some good news to share.

Thanks.

Two things.

She finds it hard to trust men. Someone like you may have tried something funny with her, and she finds it hard to trust.

Two, you live a strange life. Its strange to have a bed in the office, sleep over or work on Sundays. Go home to your wife and family! With your kind of life, even your wife cant trust you, though she may not be able to say so.

She is already noticing strange things, like expecting her to bring food into your tiny bedroom where the only obvious thing there is a bed. Haba! If you have a daughter will you watch her do such a 'job'?

One day we go just see say dis man don pull shirt enter market.

On one hand, you were reliably informed the picture was taken during Ramadan, and on the other hand it was photoshopped. Which of the two? Photoshopped or Ramadan pic? And which of the Ramadans? The immediate past or the previous?

This is the same man who swore with his life that Aisha Buhari dared not visit The States only to start talking of diplomatic immunity when she later visited as if the concept of the so-called diplomatic immunity wasn't in existence when he was barking upandan. Funny as this sounds, he has followers, mostly from the wandering Jewish tribes.

Anyway, his fellow unchained mad dogs are always praising him, that may be the driving force.

You can see that every reasonable person has deserted him. His remaining two allies are Kanu and Fayose. The three seem to have something in common - something not right!

Who is really very sick among the two?

A. FFK

B. PMB

And the answer is.......................................................................................................A

The movement will take a serious note only when igbos around the country start moving en masse to dream land.

Vote for who?

The problem today is that there is no more difference between APC or PDP or Labour Party. No ideology. No leadership. Or tell me, who is the leader of PDP or APC or Labour Party? No clear lines to demarcate their thinking. No compelling proposition. No passion for great progress.

The lesson of Macron's France is that a truly new mass movement is needed accross the country that will shun the old and wicked ways of doing politics in Nigeria. A new set of people with high quality thinking and a readiness to serve. When you look at Osinbajo you will be encouraged that you have good people in this country. But I think he is in the midst of wolves!

Until we have a truly new breed, ready to shun corruption, ready to push Nigeria to the top echelon in the comity of nations, all these gragra elections may lead us nowhere.

I have no worries about Saturday as I do not know any of the candidates.

ChangetheChange:



Confused people

As election is approaching, they want to deceive voters again

Imagine Rochas Okorocha with a State Police, he would have eliminated PDP members in IMO State

Imagine Aregbeshola with a State Police, he would have locked civili servants and pensioners in Osun state over his inability to pay them their salaries and pension, he would have locked up Senator Adeleke, Davido's Father, LAUTECH students and PDP members

Imagine a Wike with a State Police, Amaechi will never enter Rivers State again, he would flee for his life


Imagine El Rufai with a State Police means a governor like El Rufai will beome Adolf Hitler of Kano State, he would have crushed and wiped out Senator Sheu Sanni, Christians in Kaduna and Opposition party members with his State police

Imagine ObasekiPhilip Shuaibu/Oshiomole with a State Police they would have wipe put PDP members in Edo State

Imagine Okowa with State Police, he would have eliminated APC members in Delta State.


No to State Politics, our Politicians will use it to witch hunt, victimize, kill and massacre.



Imagine Yayaha Bello of Kogi State with State Police, he would have ordered the secret extra judicial killing of Dino Melaye

Think the idea is for state police and federal police to exist side by side...state for civil cases while federal handles the criminal cases....so that those funny governors will not be able to muzzle federal police. Things like traffic control (including checking particulars), securing premises and people, escorts etc can be taken off the federal police and federal can then focus on more serious matters. State Police should not carry weapons. They should be civil in their approach to handling matters.

You really think the Senate want a very strong anti-corruption environment?

Corruption in Nigeria is both endemic and systemic. Every where you turn you will find it, hospitals, schools, roadside mechanics, everywhere. I wont hold brief for the Senate, but fighting symptoms will not give lasting results. Why single out the Senate? Do you think the executive really want a strong anti-corruption environment? If yes, what are the cabals up to? Is it just power? Is there not corruption in that?

When people point accusing fingers they create rancor instead of rapport, and make engagement difficult. The losers at the end of the day will be the governed.

There are only 2 people in the executive talking about anti-corruption (maybe 3). There is no critical mass. Unfortunately, the executive is not 3 people. When last did the head of any MDA come out to discuss with the public on how they want to fight corruption? Apart from a few statements by Lai Mohammed who else in government has said anything lately?

I had a lot of criticism for Saraki's senate but I am having to rethink.

People are commenting here without reading the post. The Senate is only trying to comply with international guidelines. It is the FG that will still position people in the NFIU and they can post Magu there if they like.

The FG has spent a lot of time and resources trying to nail Saraki and now that CCB has acquitted him, what will the FG do? CCB acquitted Tinubu too, and what did FG do at that time?

Nigeria is confronted with 2 cancers - lawlessness and corruption. FG has been doing a holier than thou and practicing selective prosecution. FG, instead of engaging Nigerians and engaging the other arms, has instead gone out to label the Judiciary as a bunch of crooks and Parliament also as a bunch of thieves. If there are no thieves in the FG probably the method would have worked.

Time is running fast. Unfortunately, cancers have ravaging effects. If you dont kill it it might kill the nation.

There is no Magu here. Deal with the problem. The fight over Magu has now paralyzed the government and inadvertently paralyzed investments and growth.

The Senate may have a lot of issues and blames, but I think they are capitalizing on the fact that the FG is rather too myopic, and its key officials actually sound very incompetent. The federal ministers seem to be clueless. People say they are not given the room to operate. Well, That does not change the fact that they are perceived as clueless. Worse case, all you hear is cabal this, cabal that, meaning the FG is so divided that it can hardly function. Acting President says something, attorney general sings a different tune. How does that work? The Saraki you are castigating has at least been able to hold the Senate as one undivided group! In some sense, that is leadership.

In the political game, Saraki seems to be winning. That may be a hard bit to swallow but it may just work out for his advantage, just because the FG has boxed itself into a corner, by not meeting the yearning of Nigerians.

Let us face it quickly - Not everything the Senate does should be seen as bad and not everything the FG does should be seen as good. Government should work together for common good, all led by the FG. Failure to do that means government as a whole has failed the people. Sad to say, this seems the situation now.

Too many jobless people in Nigeria. Thats part of the problem. I dont know how Biafra will solve that problem.

Now that you have such a golden offer, please quickly add London and New York, and maybe Cape Town! Great guy, well done!

nextprince:
That is why they desperately want Magu out?

Abi o. Average loot of N20 billion. Untaxed money!

Amarabae:
That will be the end of PDP!

The founders of PDP already said that the party had died. FFK would help them organize its burial.

I wanted to comment but have changed my mind.

People like Fayose and FKK should not be honoured with responses.

The people concerned should purge out the war mongers from their midst.

If the people have some sense they will realize that a second call for Biafra is a call to anarchy. That you have a Biafra state today does not grant you utopia, the same forces contending against Nigeria could threaten that small state.

Fight the root, not the symptoms.

Most of the shareholders @ FirstBank who make up the millions have investments under 50k naira, so to pay dem no hard n besides have u ever bought bank stocks for example? Does the bank pay u dividends monthly?

You are right. They dont pay monthly. They dont have to.

Investments carry a lot more risk than just getting a job. If it were so cheap and so easy to make money buying first bank shares, then the queue should be endless, for people rushing to buy.

Appliedmaths:
You didn't read my initial post bro, I gave 2 conditions to take 30k as a fresh graduate... to amaze you I thought for the same 30k but Lord knew it was a make shift.

This is the same me that sat at home for 7 months all to my shakara before I got what I wanted, so then again it's about perception.

I saw graduates scramble for 30k jobs at ikeja, to me I felt something was wrong with them reasons being that those jobs were not temporary nor a short trainee period. I once embarrassed myself in an interview panel of 2 when they offered 40k...

I attended interviews with top firms like sawobona, Venture garden group, Fidson, signal alliance, Meristem securities, etc the A-list before I got what I'm doing now. So you see bro, it's self worth and not accepting peanuts no matter what. I purposely contributed to this thread to help correct that peanut mentality most graduate carry about.

Na gra gra to do jungle justice back man get, we can't unite to end all these monkey salaries.

Well I dont know about graduates scrambling for work. There must be some dignity in what a man does. Yes, certainly a man should draw a line somewhere. I do certainly agree.

At the same time some perceptions need to be corrected. The pay one is offered is not everything. What is the job expectation? Is there training? Do they have a positive work culture? Is there some room to spot talent? is the employer fair in terms of delivering the salary that was promised? Do they take care of medicals?

I do not think it is just right for people to throw things out without checking the real content!

Of course there are notices you see on the walls - Workers needed 50k per month - No graduate worth his/her salt should go in for those.

The abuses people rain on employers are sometimes not fair. It is not as easy to run organizations as people think and that is why just too many graduates start out job seeking. Too few are ready to venture into business.

At the end of the day a job is meant to provide a platform for a person to showcase his talents and deliver results, not to show how 'graduate' I am. I believe in your own case you got it right but guess what? there are people who still miss out on this basis.

All the best.

Appliedmaths:
I'll like to be discrete, my bench mark as at then was 60-70K, which I eventually got (all thanks to God)... 1 step above that now though, and still pushing...

Congrats to you. And let us learn to give the glory to God.

But please dont look down or talk down on those who started with less.

At the end of the day it is how well a man finishes that matters. In a race, some start so strong and end up last. Some start slow and win the race. It is how you finish.

I pray that as you started well you will also finish well.

Nigerians should turn down offers, it's a legit opinion and it will make companies to pay much more than they are offering now. For example First bank Owerri (HQ) pay 61k(2014 salary) to OND holders. in that branch they employ only 4 degree holders(they earn over 200k per month + upfront) and 26 OND holders .... These guys basically work 10 - 12 hours daily.


Yet first bank will make an average of 2 - 4 billion naira monthly as profits and yet pay out peanuts.


It's not about pride or humility.

If we had stronger unions or institutions, our youths won't be exploited like this.

In conclusion, firms should pay in accordance to what they earn/job description...... Nigerian firms always exploit our graduates because they know we have no other option.


Lack of education is why we do not know we should turn out some jobs.

In some cases Degree holders earn 15k in nigeria, this is far less than what a tomato seller, shoemaker, basic carpenter, plumber makes in a month

You may have a point.

About First Bank making 2 billion monthly - please dont forget that firstbank did not fall from the sky. people have shares there they bought with money. they deserve dividends! if yo share the profits to the staff what would the investors get? Dont forget there are millions of them!

I am not saying that employers should pay peanuts, but please put yourself in their shoes. If it is that easy no one will look for work in the first place.

Stop feeling entitled!
Nobody was forced to pursue tertiary education, it was choice.

Nobody owes graduate anything.

Anyone that can't take 30k should sit down at home
or start their own business.

Correct.

Our graduates need to go to Europe and learn. You get paid for the result you make nor the paper qualification you carry. It is so unfortunate that our schools do not prepare people for the workplace. Or maybe it is the people who dont want to learn. Some CEOs in europe never went to the university but were so sharp that their results shot them to the top, and once they get to the top you see universities lining up to award them PhD. Yet here you find some PhD that are simply not employable and have to hide their advanced degrees just to get jobs.

ivolt:
We have minimum wage, it is 18k per month.

Its part of the problem. A lot of folks are so ignorant about many things, dont even know what the minimum wage is, but just want to go round claiming how graduate they are.., instead of going out there to learn! a graduate was asked to say the fulling meaning of B.Sc and she failed it!

It makes sense to start from somewhere.

It is also not wise to spend millions going to school and end up sitting idly at home!

Go to Ikeja, Lekki, Yaba, Surulere and see many graduates loafing about because they dont want to accept the so called small jobs.

Employers are not finding it easy. Many have been forced to close shop.

A company as big as Etisalat just left Nigeria. Do you think they found it that easy? Now Etisalat workers are looking around for any job available in the market. So many SMEs are closing shop.

Some people are taking the opportunity they have for granted.

That you have a good job or you are making profits in your business does not mean you are smarter than others. That you have some uncle somewhere still giving you stipends does not make you smarter.

Time and chance!

Thank God if you have a well paying job but please dont despise anyone who has to accept 35k or 40k instead of sitting down at home.

Your people did not spend so much to now have you sit at home. Some are not job sitting at home, they are employing dirty tactics to make money, like messing around for money.

Dont listen to them. Go and and work and get good experience. You may earn 35k today and in 5 years be earning 3.5million. You wot get anywhere just sitting at home. Get started.

The man who is labelling 35k as nonsense, I wonder if he has employees and how much he is paying them.

As a graduate you need experience. If the truth be told, most of what you learn in the universities these days do not prepare you for the challenge of the workplace.

If you dont want to become another evans, go and work. Once you start and you are making good impact, ask your employer for a raise. If you are good at your job he wont want to loose you.

She certainly needs deliverance.

Well spoken. None, I repeat none can stop this Islamic movement that will Herald the antichrist and the end. Lets understand the scriptures. To attempt to stop it is to delay the second coming of Christ. Europe as it is has been overtaken my Islam or what's left on Nigeria. Nothing. [color=#006600][/color]

It will be nice to quote scriptures to support that claim. Some feel that Islam is not the threat but a fast growing secularization that surpresses anything called faith and promotes things like LGBT....Countries are making laws to stop faith movements and to persecute Christians....Is that not what we should watch out for?

By the way, being Christians does not mean we should be docile. Dont speak against those who are challenging islamisation of nigeria.

WHY PUBLISH NAME?

THIS IS THE ILL OF SOCIAL MEDIA - SOMEONE CAN GET INTO SHOCK AND TRAUMA RIGHT AWAY WHEN BAD NEWS IS BROKEN THIS WAY.

PLEASE, PEOPLE EXERCISE SOME RESTRAINT!

Jungle justice.

YES.

Our prayers are with her that God will keep her and lengthen her days on earth and that all her days will be filled with peace, joy and hope. Amen

Keep up the great support for the great man of God.

Happy birthday.

She could turn around tomorrow to falsely accuse him of 'harassment' if he does not promptly sack her! Wise step.

The government urgently or very urgently needs to reform the Police. What are the problems? Police is understaffed, the personnel are grossly under-trained and under-paid and under catered for! Also, they are wrongly deployed - checking vehicle papers and securing the rich and the politicians.

So it seems they are overwhelmed. today, Ikorodu, tomorrow Mushin or Ajah or Ajegunle! Do they have the personnel? Do they have tools for investigations? Are they well insured or motivated?

Daddy Shokey is right - Government should urgently PRIORITIZE security.

The problem is that the citizens are easily carried away when government re-furbish, decorate and paint roads or build bore-holes. These things are good but they do not bring development to society.

Nigeria needs real development. The citizens have to be educated, and re-educated. As it is, if you are a government focusing on security, health, education, it is likely your citizens will abuse you and call you names. They prefer to see roads being re-painted and bore-holes. They even hail governors who are sharing rice and ponmo on the streets, to those who are building for the future.

The people must share a big part of the blame!

Christians are praying for the president to get well, not only the president but all those looking to God for good health. Christians are called to spread good news. This pattern remains.

People who are always talking bad and seeing bad need to check themselves and pray for deliverance.

We are told that the 1 hour meeting took place in Abuja house (a residence, not a hospital). It may just be accurate that he is recuperating in a 'house'. I wont be the judge, but i will believe the VP.

People spilling bad news should just be ignored, I think.

BERNIMOORE:
where is pastor bakare and the Save Nigeria Group when they are needed most? That shows you that surrendering your trust to pastors is tantamount to a suicide mission THEY are OPPORTUNISTS'

You dont have to surrender to a pastor but by all means please surrender to the Saviour, Jesus Christ today. important to act today and surrender to Jesus.
