Loushinalistic: These kind of white elephants should be discouraged, Kano State needs to expand its manufacturing industry to provide real jobs.. Not a dry port
You don't know the meaning of white elephant project.....special economic zones , free trade zones, export processing zones , inland ports are all geared towards expanding manufacturing so how is this a white elephant project? Do you know how many industries will spring up as a result of this ? Na wa for some of una , you just must criticize everything
edochie12: is Jonathan angulu an Igbo man,does that name sound like Igbo,even if,what of efcc chairman both current and former are they not[b] hausas[/b].
So Are hausas not supposed to be your 'friends' Shey it's fulanis you hate
sexy74: You are talking like this because you are I'll informed . The former DG was not an Ibo man, he is from KOGI state an Igala man. Kindly do your research before you bring forth fake news which you know nothing about . The acting DG that left Jonathan Angulu is a junkun man from Taraba state . Stop spreading fake information
So how has buhari been tribalistic by appointing a fulanis man for the position......
Mysticwebb: You and Buhari are the same. The civil service rule states out the criteria for that position. The rule doesn't know tribe but what is best for the service. Talking about a Southerner succeeding another Southerner, I have not seen you condemn the numerous Northerners succeeding another Northerners in this regime even when the successor is not qualify for the position. People like you will cry more when the table is turned, just soon, in about 2yrs time, it will turn. When it turns, the big favour that the Northerners were getting from a southern president for equity and population sake will no longer come because we will reference all that is happening now. If you even succeed in impeaching him, we will scatter the country for everybody to go their separate ways. This administration has opened the eyes of many to tilt towards tribalism. Anytime the North leaves Aso Rock will be the beginning of their dooms day as they will see in full effect what Buhari has done to them.
Taa You people funny, the fact that southerners have been heading an agency doesn't make it their birth right . Is the rules made for SOUTHERNERS only ......you people shout federal character when it suits you but change to civil service rules when it doesn't favour you . In the spirit of federal character , an iboman shouldn't succeed another iboman . If a fulanis had suceeded a fulanis , you will call it tribalism but here you are shouting civil service rules so an iboman can suceed another . I have challenged you all before , the FG has over 600 agencies and vast majority of them are headed by southerners so I get pissed when I see all these your tribalism rants , its only those how don't now that believe your bullxraps I know so I don't believe your rants
[quote author= post=99559314]IPOBS please.... Not Igbos.
Mbaaa, Chairman.
We true igbos know ourselves . Try not to confuse us together with some troublemakers called IPOBS pls.
Have you ever heard any real igbos, actors, actresses, musicians, footballer, businessmen, celebrities talk about biafra or hailing Nnamdi Cownu before?! Impossicant!
We True igbos love our DARLING president to the moon and back. Only the children of hate, perdition and frustration, criminals, troublemakers losers in life hate him and pray for evil for the nation.
Let us separate true Nigerians from trouble makers. TAKE NOTE patriot! Cheers! [/quote]Noted , pardon my generalisation even though 98% of them are like that
Mysticwebb: That is why we are where we are now as a nation. The President has rubbished every good law meant to protect the country against his type. He has laid a very terrible precedent.
How? So another iboman must replace an iboman that retired? Ibos should stop being greedy and by extension most southerners ,you have been used to having southerners fill some position that you have taken it as birthright
Rugaria: TRIBALISM: BUHARI BREAKS CIVIL SERVICE RULES, BYPASS CHIZEA TO APPOINT AHMAD AS DG OF SPACE AGENCY
President Mohammadu Buhari seems unbothered over his appointments which smacks of nepotism, tribalism and religious bigotry following the naming of Dr. Halilu Shaba Ahmad as the new Director General, DG, of the National Space Research and Development Agency, NARSDA.
Buhari had in a letter to the Senate President Ahmed Lawan, asked the Senate to confirm the appointment of Dr. Ahmad as the new DG of NARSDA. But Pointblanknews.com investigations reveal that Ahmad who was first appointed in June 2009 is ranked number five from the December 2018 Staff nominal roll of NARSDA, making him ineligible to be appointed DG based on Civil Service Rules.
According to findings, Dr. Francis Chizea Dubem who was first appointed in August 1991 and who was Acting DG after the tenure expiration of Dr. Jonathan Angulu, is ranked number two on the nominal roll of NARSDA.
Professor Mohammed Saido Onailo who is ranked number one on the nominal roll has already retired.
Dr. Francis Chizea is the most senior officer in NARSDA, according to a memo signed by the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Science and Technology, Dr. M.B Umar in 2019.
Sources told Pointblanknews.com that the Chief of Staff to the President, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari, may have influenced the choice of Ahmad.
According to sources Ahmad have been bragging to his colleagues in the office how his relationship with Prof. Gambari will secure him the DG of the agency even when he knows he is not in line.
The agency had on July 2, 2019, announced the appointment of Mr Jonathan Angulu as an acting Director-General to facilitate a seamless transition process between the outgone DG and an incoming one. Mr Jonathan handed over to Dr Ahmad two days earlier to continue in an acting capacity until the Federal Government appointed a substantive Director-General.
In a dramatic and unexpected turn of events, the Federal Government reversed the appointment of Dr. Ahmad. The reason adduced for this decision was that the appointment of Dr. Ahmad “was made in violation of civil service regulation and amounted to an infraction of regulatory policies”.
Sources told Pointblanknews.com that Ahmad kept on pushing and lobbying, using his contacts in the Presidency.
According to a source, “he hardly comes to the office. He is always at the Presidential Villa lobbying for a position that he is not qualified for. He claims that the Chief of staff to the President is related to his mother and that nothing can stop him from getting the appointment against civil service rules.”
Ahmad is from Lapai in Niger State while Chizea is from Aniocha in Delta State.
Skyfornia: This guy is about to touch the god of lagos... Tinubu's miscreants won't spare him. He should hire enough body guards or borrow the native doctor that has been following Sowore.
Such gods exist in every state , infact in your state too, you only need to look at your state and those that have governed it to locate such gods.....defending such gods is done online not done by miscreants but educate people like you and me so no need for sowore kind of bodyguard
ngadaAwo: with recent food blockade to the south I'll say that it's a wakeup call for the south especially the one Nigeriaist.
take a look at what's happening fulani herdsmen have been killing in dozens and hundreds for years especially in the south and MB but I'm yet to find any northerner outrightly criticize them without making excuses for them your Almighty federal government inclusive.
all these years they where killing southerners and sacking communities with no response or retaliation. it reached to a point where the south started retaliating and boom they showed their hand immediately. even though I don't support the killing of innocent Hausa traders because even Hausas are victims of these vermins called fulani herdsmen (southern kaduna and rest) but that's not the excuses for cutting food supplies to the south. this is purely an act of war but some deluded mind are not thinking towards that direction because they're busy with 2023 which is not even guaranteed for them. so they're insinuating that it's either we accept the killings and sacking of communities or risk starving to death. now tell me is this not war? assuming they have this oil in the south, do you think Nigeria will still be in existence? it's obvious that the only thing holding this country together is the southern oil.
now my question for Southern one Nigeriaist
is this the one Nigeria of your dream?
All these is actually in preparation for 2023. The insecurity will be used by ruling party to budget huge defence spendings that will eventually be used for elections as happened under GEJ /sambo dasuki And Insecurity will be used to campaign by the opposition to try to dislodge the ruling party .
Don't sweat on it bro, the situation now just reminds one of the countdown to 2015 elections...the country was so hot with bombs blowing everywhere one would think GEJ won't have a million votes but alas he had over 11million votes with all the insecurity then , so what this current insecurity is a phase , a script by politicians , it will come to pass
greymiles: Afonjatic school If not for politics and bad belle, Unizik is way ahead of OAU but anything Igbo is always detested in this country
You meant UNN
correct yourself , unizik is not In the same league with UI,OAU,UNN,ABU,UNILAG
as for the tribal rant, if we really detest anything ibo even emzor paracetamol nobody go buy but we still dey buy am when we have options , EVRYONE IS THE IBOMANS PROBLEM EXCEPT HIMSELF .........keep playing the ostrich
Beface: Sheikh Gumi was ask by Channel TV, why is it that he can locate the bandits and the government find it difficult to locate them and he said the government knows their location and that the government have some military intelligence surveillance among the herdsmen but there are trading with caution because they don't way to create a monster like Boko Haram. We I heard this I wept in my heart for this great Nation and at the same time I said "God no go forgive the people way joined us with this kind of people together".
What is this one saying Did you honestly believe the security forces can't locate the kids? They have to thread softly because if they decide to attack the bandits will just use the children as human shield you may eventually kill the bandits but will lose the children , if you were a father to one of the kids will you give the security forces go ahead to attack when your child is there ?
Slimanyd2: Chai . See grown illiterates displaying there foolishness . All they wish for is war war war and war and when the time is cut up ,They start blaming the government for not been able to secure there lives .
One of the culprits has been arrested already and he has confessed to the crime and he even went ahead to say those involved in the killings are all Yorubas ,What else do you wanna hear again. Eyin omo irankiran gbogbo. As una love war ,may war never cease from your household and families.
Leave Oyo state for us . Abegi.
All of a sudden, everybody became saints and every crime committed is blamed on Fulanis as if there were no kidnappers, bandits, assassins, and other criminals in this land before.
Unfortunately, when you speak truth, the bad people who are bent to create mischief on our land will insult you just because you did not go in line with them. See how these warmongers are lambasting the governor for saying the truth.
Woe unto liars who are bent on causing fitnah on our land, woe unto them, woe unto them.
Don't mind them , they only want to hear about crisis and violence and spread fake news to suit their fake narratives...all of a sudden every criminal is a fulanis man. with all the hardened southern criminals most crimes down south is perpetrated by southerners but blamed on the fulanis , woe unto them
MrColdsweat: I was born in yorubaland and I so much admire them and their culture. I love how super hardworking yoruba women are. From my experience, a typical Yoruba woman will rather carry her child on her back and trek several miles, hawking bread or fish, than engage in prostitution. I had zero problems cohabiting with the yorubas. Infact, I have several relatives working in the Lagos state civil service. They don't owe or delay salaries and promotion is swift. They are amazingly accommodating.
My only problem with them is their blind trust in their leaders.
Your leaders that you don't have blind trust in have they turned the east into Dubai?
You that blindly followed your leaders to vote a party for to the past 20 years ,have the party build the second niger bridge or rehabilitated the eastern railway network . The people you say blindly follow their leaders have the biggest economy in Nigeria
GodWrites: Until Yoruba and Igbo come together as ONE, we're going nowhere in this country. The real enemies are out there, ruling, creating division, killing us, and we're busy dragging each other down.
The only reason another northerner or Fulani will emerge President come 2023, is because Yorubas and Igbos are still fighting themselves.
For my name sake, the seats are filled with these northerners who don't even know how to spell their name. From the top position, to the last, 90% accounts for northerners.
And the Igbos and Yorubas are still debating which tribe is more intelligent - misplaced priorities.
Take your time and read through the presidential address of President Joe Biden, and you'll see someone who's not just passionate about America, but it's ready to ensure all sectors are working and in order.
To create unity amid adversity, he has appointed both black, yellow, gay, lesbian, into positions of power.
But here, a president can set up a federal body without appointing one Igbo man. How do you expect the country to stay united with such actions? How will such a country move?
The future we dream of can only be achieved when Yorubas and Igbos occupy vital positions of power. When they finally come together as one brothers, not as enemies.
Cause these two tribes have been proven to be the best in the world - our accomplishment both home and abroad is monumental.
What has the northerners achieved if not to constitute nuisance on our roads?
We have the resources, the mental capability, and the population to compete with countries like the US.
Look at Dubai!!!
Dubai compared to us should be like comparing a rat to a lion.
But see how low a lion has fallen!!!
What we need at this moment is a leader who can unity these two tribes. Only then can we take back this country from enemies of Nigeria.
Nigeria is not the cause of your suffering, those in positions are. People will still attack me, but we move!!!
Didn't read
No need , I already know my reply
NO WAY WILL IBOS AND YORUBAS BE ONE , NEVER at least that's what they want too
potent5: So, this shameless people want to give buhari credit for positions occupied by some Nigerians whose existence he didn't know about until these persons became international personalities, some of whom are part of his unfortunate discrimination as 5 percenters?
You are kidding, right?
Shame on you
You were disappointed the majority are southerners , you were expecting most to be northerners so you could masturbate on this thread , sorry na konji go kill you
The day when zombies like you will be hunted down on the streets in broad daylight and hung from the nearest lamp post is coming.
Continue to enjoy your 30k ass licking job as it last.
And we go dey look una? Even if in ala IBO you try nonsense , the phyton dance is enough If it's in Yorubaland ehn, even your children and dogs won't live to tell the story
You gave fulanis party 98% votes for 16 years with nothing to show for it , yet you are gearing up to vote another fulani after the camerounian fulani deceived you with a vice president slot. We know the first thing you guys MUST say every morning is 'slave '
Have you called someone a fulani slave today ? Do so before you run mad
W0mbRaider: May God punish all of you Zombie bastards that supported this man into power.
I dey laff at this Fool
All the curses una don curse since 2015 has it improved your life? Meanwhile the people you are cursing are advancing on life , living well and believing In their country but you arsonist terrorists will be there cursing while the rest of nigeria progresses
Continue ONLINE curses if that's what make you a man.... The end is madness
W0mbRaider: The Kano to Maradi train line is about the most expensive ever concieved as it is set to cost a whooping $2bn.
The distance between Kano to Maradi is just 274km with the existing road network. Assuming this rail line passes through this same route that serves several towns and villages, this will amount to about $7million per kilometer which is roughly 3.5bn naira.
At $7mlll dollars per kilometer for a single carriage lockomotive rail line , this is more than double the average cost of $3.5million per kilometer for a dual high speed rail line including the overhead electric cables.
Now, why is Nigeria building a railway line with loans from China that will cut deep into Maradi, Niger? This Maradi offers virtually no single economic benefits to Nigeria other than it is the real ancestral home of Khalifar Buhari.
Why is Niger Republic not coughing up part of its own commitment both now and in future loan repayments ? Other than goats and Bokos , nothing whatsoever of any value is coming from Niger Republic.
Consider also that this is Niger Republic with a GDP of $13bn. This rail project is more than 10% of Niger economy and we are constructing a rail at twice the cost of a modern high speed electric rail line into the shittiest part of that shithole ?
How much does the average gross earnings is a Nigerien earning these days? At $600 on average per citizen per annum, this amounts to less than $2 a day. If this isn't dirt broke poverty then Ibadan is Dubai.
What madness is this? And why is nobody doing anything to stop this lunatic called Buhari?
This money would have done wonders if channeled into power generation projects or agriculture rather we are throwing money into a latrine because that latrine is Buhari's ancestral shithole village.
What of the ongoing oil refinery currently being built in Daura where not a single drop of oil exist. That refinery is going to utilize Oil from Niger Republic. So Niger Delta oil is paying for an oil refinery in Niger which will use Niger crude oil bought using oil proceeds of same Niger Delta oil.
May God punish all of you Zombie bastards that supported this man into power.
Ignorance is a disease . You just wake up and made up all these in your head and feel the next thing Is to open this stupid thread . A project that is well documented is what you are making guesses about ? Who did this to the nigerian youth .no wonder the government doesn't take you serious , is it's stupid fools like you that will be leaders tomorrow .
SilverNorGold: Nice... But majority of them Sir, not some. And they're chest beaters too; bloody cowards!
Nigeria must better!
My brother, why do you people like bringing tribalism into everything? Why do you enjoy blaming others? Oh, I forgot. Your tribe is perfect and you people can do no wrong. So anything bad can only be done by others. But it's well.
Nigeria go better
The same thing you accuse others of is what your tribesmen take delight in and threaten anyone not towing their line ......to you people the YORUBAS have become imperfect for exercising their democratic right to vote whoever they like (whoever told you democracy don't have it's shortcomings like the majority being wrong atimes)
You people claim to know more than everybody that's why every other tribes always let you know you don't know more that everybody else.
Dpharisee: Defence Intelligence Agency is an irrelevant organisation in the intelligence community. How many times have we heard about their exploits neither do we even know Maj General Oyefesobi all these years.
Buhari nephew Yusuf 'Tunde' who was a recharge card hawker in 2014 is suddenly an Assistant Director at National Intelligence Agency (NIA) on secondment to the presidential villa which is the Original.
Defence Intelligence Agency is the counterfeit under this administration headed by South West to give us a false sense of security by thinking that Yorubas are now in charge of national intelligence while Fulani militia are impoverishing our people by eating up their crops, preventing them from going to their farms, kidnapping for ransom and making billions, he is simply a General without troops. This position is already relegated like the office of the current VP Osinbajo
This your write up is full of mix-ups DIA is different from NIA . Btw why are you people afraid of the VP to the extent of throwing mud at him at any given opportunity? Star boy is poised to succeed Buhari and y'all are jittery ......pele Throw mud at Tinubu , throw mud at PYO, throw mud at the yoruba nation , that won't make an iboman president after buhari but keep trying at least your paymasters will be impressed
NIGHTMARE0O7: Atleast Igbo land is nownsecure same can't be said about ur coward land. They even fought back ur coward spineless amotekun and kidnap their commander who only good at arresting school kids. I just dey laugh here. U guys are clown Awon oloribu omo
If yorubaland is unsafe ,what are you still doing here , run now to your 'safe' erosion ravaged mud huts enclave and leave our yorubaland to us......as if the esn wasnt a copy of Amotekun
