kestolove95:Then that means we cannot have a corruption-free system because corruption begats corruption. |
Menace2Society:Me trying to exchange words with you will be the dumb act. When you quote me reasonably, then we can talk. Mtcheew. |
mascot87:What's the meaning of what you quoted me for? Who's talking about old or young here? When you construct your grammar well, you can quote me. #smh |
nightmile:See, this is beyond southerner pulling southerner down. I'm really trying so hard to look beyond ethnicity and other things just in a bid to having a new Nigeria. Moreso, is Donald Duke not a fellow southerner? I'm more concerned about who will be more effective at the job. Can you compare the impact Donald had on cross rivers state to what Amaechi did in rivers? |
La casera abeg reopen naa... That's what keeps me going on long trips. Else I won't be traveling again by road. |
If Amaechi passes that screening ehn, then I'll doubt the fact that Buhari really wants to bring change. However seeing Donald Duke in that list gives me so much joy. PS: No matter how much change Buhari would cause, Obj, Tinubu and Gen. TY Danjuma MUST still have some influence in this government. #FACT |
engrbrume:Yes I understand that. I have about #100,000. |
greatestman:Young man I no dey beg. I get my own money but the fact still remains that you came to this world with nothing and you'll leave with nothing. The earlier you understand that, the better for your soul. You better repent and leave all this worldly things alone. |
engrbrume:Please I like your line of reasoning. In view of that, what kind of investment would you recommend? |
. |
Vanity upon vanity, says the preacher, all is vanity. What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lots his soul? |
Nice one @ Op. This is a very educative piece. However I can't find KALABARI of Rivers state on your list. BTW I'm just so amazed that all these different tribes are existing under one umbrella NIGERIA. Little wonder the rantings and shoutings and chaos by one tribe after the other. Indeed only God can hold us together as a country. GOD BLESS MY COUNTRY |
Please how can I block my stolen glo sim card? Its very urgent and I need to do it now online. Thanks for your assistance. |
That means if any politician has more than 30m in his account, such will be probed... Nice move though by the presidency. |
whitecloth:Alright thanks I'll see them. |
. |
expert1:How? Where? |
whitecloth:Thanks for the suggestion but is the 6.5%gonna be at the end of the year or monthly? |
Please I want to know what I can invest #50,000 into that can yield a very reasonable profit in 1 year. Not a business which I'll need to monitor directly, rather something I'll just drop the money into and leave it till a year's time. I'll be very grateful for your contributions. |
Hmm... It seems the Ibos haven't learnt from what happened during the Biafran war. Perhaps they're fortified for another war. Meanwhile I think Buhari is not yet ready to reply them. When he is, they'll see the his real body language. Although I vehemently condemn the action of the military and police on those unarmed civilians. Their bullets should be directed to boko haram and other criminals and not on people they're supposed to be protecting. |
Hahahahahahaha.... I can't help laughing out my a**. The truth be said, Nigeria is still standing today because the oil is in the South South. If we just wake up one morning to find out that Northerners and Southerners have swapped location, Nigeria will disintegrate by the next Senate meeting, courtesy the Northerners. |
Ah! God bless you Mr. Reno. I hope Gov. Adams learns to focus on developing his state rather than lampooning and escoriating the previous administration. BTW he talks too much jare... ![]() |

phlemzy:And judging without sentiments, do you think Jona inherited a brand new car? For your information, the problem of that car started over 50yrs ago. |
THERE was an outrage in the ruling All Progressives Congress on Thursday over the announcement of new appointments by President Muhammadu Buhari. Leaders of the APC, who spoke to The PUNCH , complained that the appointments tilted in favour of the North and said the party must move fast to cope with the backlash of expected rumblings in the polity. “The President does not consult before making most of these appointments and I can tell you that Nigerians are going to term the party and the President as a northern party and the President of Northern Nigeria,” a leader of the party said to one of our correspondents late on Tuesday. Buhari, according to a statement by his Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, on Thursday approved the appointment of Babachir David Lawal from Adamawa State as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation. He also named Mr. Abba Kyari from Borno state as his Chief of Staff. Other appointments approved by the President, according to the statement, are those of Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali (retd.) as the new Comptroller-General, Nigerian Customs Service; Mr. Kure Martin Abeshi, Comptroller-General, Nigerian Immigration Service; Senator Ita Enang, Senior Special Assistant on National Assembly Matters (Senate); and Suleiman Kawu as SSA on National Assembly Matters (House of Representatives). Both Ali and Kawu are from Kano State and Abeshi is from Nasarawa. Enang from Akwa Ibom State is the only one from the south geo-political zone. Adesina said all the appointments would take immediate effect. Three top national officers of the APC, who spoke with one of our correspondents on condition of anonymity shortly after the announcements were made, wondered why the President was appointing only northerners to positions to the detriment of the southerners. They said that the President was already giving the party a bad name among Nigerians. They said they had hoped that he would learn from the criticisms that trailed his first appointments where more northerners were appointed into sensitive positions than southerners. Before the latest appointments, the President had also named only one southerner among the initial nine appointments he made. The northerners in the first appointments are the Director- General of the State Services, Lawal Daura; Acting Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Mrs. Amina Zakari; the Director, Department of Petroleum Resources, Mr. Mordecai Danteni Baba Ladan; and the Accountant-General of the Federation, Alhaji Ahmed Idris. Also in the first appointments are the President’s Chief Security Officer, Abdulrahman Mani; State Chief of Protocol, Mallam Abdullahi Kazaure; Aide- De-Camp, Lt. Col. Muhammed Abubakar; and the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu. Only the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Feminine Adesina, hailed from Osun Staten in the South-West. Another APC leader said the party must devise a way of managing the backlash that would follow the appointments. He said, “Though the President did not get much votes from the South-East but we must not neglect the zone in key appointments. “Even the South-West that supported and was the backbone of the party, what are we giving the zone in appreciation? We need to be careful before the party is destroyed.” It was gathered that some leaders of the party were already thinking of having an enlarged meeting where the appointments would be reviewed. But another senior member of the APC said such a meeting, if it would hold at all, would have to wait until the party holds its Kogi State governorship primary on Saturday. A member of the state executive of APC in a South-West state, said the appointments were lopsided against the South. He said, “When President Olusegun Obasanjo took over, you saw balance in appointments as he reflected federal character. President Goodluck Jonathan too reflected a semblance of balance. Buhari is pursuing a northern agenda. This is the same agenda pursued by the late Sir Ahmadu Bello, when everything was pro-North. Buhari made six appointments at a go and five of them are northerners.” The Speaker of one of the Houses of Assembly in the South-West, who spoke on condition of anonymity, also described the new appointments as shocking. The Speaker, who is a member of the APC, said, “This is shocking. It doesn’t speak well at all. The South-West has been completely neglected and the South-East too. The South-West was neglected during the President Goodluck Jonathan years. The South-West must rise up against this.” Similarly, an APC chairman in another South-West state, who also spoke on condition of anonymity, said the list of the new appointees had left him perplexed. The chairman said, “This is not good at all. Why should he choose everybody from the North? I am sure he did not confide in anybody before drawing up the list and making the announcement. We will continue to watch. It is condemnable.” In the same vein, an APC member of the House of Representatives, said the leaders of the party in the South- West were shocked by Buhari’s latest appointments. “He didn’t tell anybody. We are all shocked. The real shocker would be when he is going to appoint ministers. The only thing that would save us is that he is mandated constitutionally to choose from all states, otherwise, he would have chosen all the ministers too from the North,” the female member of parliament said. http://www.punchng.com/news/apc-leaders-angry-as-buhari-appoints-more-northerners/ |
Kirinwa:MOTIVATED! MOTIVATED! MOTIVATED SIR!!! |
Hahaha... It'll only take a matter of months, maybe weeks before the technocrats will realise that the wailing wailers were actually wailing rightly. |
Oya Buhari, appoint another Northerner. We're expecting it. Don't worry we won't wail this time around. |
