I hope you realise that those buildings are empty and most have been abandoned.

Even after close to 5 years of governance he could not complete a single hospital rather he has shut down the existing ones in the guise of "concessioning".

Insensitive man.
Jetting off to take pictures while bombs go off in his country.

IGBOSON1:
I thought that being the first indigenous car manufacturing coy in Nigeria, that INNOSON would have been the first automobile coy to have an audience with the President and take him out to the courtyard to show him a sample of what they do!

You thought so too!?.....Well think again mate!

Buhari will only visit Innoson if it is cited in Kano or Kaduna.
Very sad.

Buhari took an oath to kill Nigeria's economy before he gets booted out.

AnieduEmmanuel:
So people are still using this kind of chairs!

That chair is a classic and it is has good ergonomics.

Made her "fell" a victim

Made her fall a victim is the correct term unless you are insinuating that Omotola use a machete to hack down a victim.

Buhari will soon chase away all the foreign investors.

obailala:
Common sense bro, common sense!

Illegal or legal, that is the question. Nobody said anything was alright.

Are you saying it is legal to inflate the cost of a project so far it is captured in the budget

AZeD1:
Your problem, is a clear lack of understanding.
Stella was booted not because of the amount she spent but because she spent money outside that wasn't budgeted for.
On the other hand, Fashola's website was captured in the budget.

Again I repeat, it has nothing to do with the amount but with the process and procedures. One played by the rules, the other didn't.

In other words it is alright to spend $1billion to develop a website so far it is captured in the budget.

Clap for yourself you are a genius.

Lalasticlala.
Please let's put some positive news on the front page.

And what about ogbe, is he incompetent? Why not let's give these people a chance to see their output. Who ever thought adesina would perform like he did? Mugabe despite his old age is the most vocal president in Africa. Age don't do these things, it's your capability, readiness and passion that matters. Did u follow him right from the senate floor? I doubt u did.

Audu Ogbe is a career politician. That he manages a private farm does not make him the most qualified person to drive our agric sector which is one of the key areas that can help us diversify our economy.

In case you didn't know Adesina was Vice President of Policy and Partnerships for the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) before he was made agric minister. So he was perfectly suited for the job.
If you are surprised that he performed well, then you knew nothing about him.

I won't say anything about Mugabe other than he has an uncanny resemblance to your master Buhari.

samobaba:
THE WOMAN WILL SO SURPRISE ALL YOU DOUBTING THOMAS'S. THIS WOMAN IS WORKAHOLIC, A CHRISTIAN, SOMEONE WITH VERY HIGH INTEGRITY, AND IF YOU HAVE SEEN HER THESIS ON SMALL SCALE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA, YOU WILL BELIEVE THERE IS NO OTHER BETTER PERSON IN THIS PRESENT ECONOMICS GRIDLOCK OTHER THAN MRS. ADEOSUN TO TAKE NIGERIA FINANCES OUT OF THIS PRESENT SITUATION THE SO CALLED HEAVY WEIGHT AND POLITICALLY CONNECTED NOI PUT NIGERIA. ASK OGUN STATE HOW THIS WOMAN IMPROVE OGUN STATE MONTHLY REVENUE FROM N750 MILLION TO N6 BILLION PER MONTH.


INDEED SHE IS A ROUND PEG IN A ROUND HOLE.

She maybe "good" but this is not some lecture hall. We are talking about the biggest economy in Africa thrust into her hands (by the way NOI made that possible ).
This is international economics which is intricately linked with politics as Forbes has clearly pointed out.

She will require a lot of convincing in form of sound policies to even be taken seriously on the international scene. Something a more experienced hand would not be bothered with.

The mode of their appointment is similar to political appointments as they are appointed at the discretion of the president based of federal character principles. You should get yourself a copy of the public service rules and show me where it is stated that a civil servant can be promoted beyond grade level 17(director).

Fact is, the president can appoint permanent secretaries either from the civil service or from any other place.

You are totally missing the point here which is that permanent secretaries are traditionally appointed from the civil service because they require those years of experience to enable then run their ministries smoothly.

Some one from the private sector will be at a loss.
That is why the guideline states and I quote...

“The position of a federal
permanent secretary is open to all officers in the
mainstream federal civil service who have attained the
rank of substantive Directors Salary Grade Level 17".

Ballmer:
Why not contest for the presidency to implement your lofty idea or are you too foolish to device an idea that can fetch you the presidency yet you think you are intelligent enough to dictate to someone that scaled that fence. Being a wailer is indeed pathetic.

That is not the point.
The point is that Buhari as usual in his perpetual dullard state continues to gaffe big time.

You do not go to the private sector for example an engineer from JB and make him perm sec for works when he has no civil service experience. He will be better off as a minister

seunmsg:
Permanent secretaries are just like political appointees. There is no rules that states that they must be appointed from the civil service. In fact, the public service rule is very clear that the career progression of a federal civil servant ends as a director on grade level 17.

Permanent Secretaries (known by other names in
some departments; see below) are the NON-POLITICAL
CIVIL SERVICE HEADS (and "accounting officers" or
chief executives of government departments, who
generally hold their position for a number of years
(thus "permanent" at a ministry as distinct from the
changing political Secretaries of State to whom they
report and provide advice.


Do you see that most of you Sai Buhari chanters are often blinded in the face of glaring facts and obvious gaffes from your dullard leader.

SLIDEwaxie:
foolish analyst...lol

So, you think the ministers are here to order the perm secs around? Lol...

No, that is not how it works. In a working environment, a perm sec is the main part of the machines while the minister is just an operator.

For a better illustration, u see, the civil service is the amplifier, the perm sec is the technician and the minister is just the speaker.

Not that the ministers dnt have ideas, but the perm secs are the main technocrats who will remain on ground after four years of the ministers is ended.

You have not made any point rather you have buttressed mine.

Permanent secretaries are traditionally experienced civil servants who have risen through the ranks and who know the detailed workings of their ministries.

Ministers should be technocrats in their field drawn from any sector who help the government in formulating policy directives of their various ministries.

I am now 100% convinced that Buhari is a dullard.

This is the line he should have towed in terms of ministerial appointments rather than federal permanent secretaries that need a wealth of civil service experience.

We waited 6 months for angels and the dullard gave us rogues.

After housemanship, doctors are given their permanent practicing license which is a requirement for service.

However, The Medical and dental council of Nigeria (MDCN) often delays the issuance of this license which can take up to 2 years after housemanship. This led to NYSC to loosen up and start accepting doctors who have evidence of completion of internship as they are deemed to be fully qualified.

Apparently, this has been explored by some miscreants leading NYSC to insist on the presentation of the permanent licenses.
Unfortunately, most doctors go for NYSC within weeks or few months after completion of internship which means that virtually none will have received the permanent license from the MDCN by the time they are ready to proceed for service. This automatically translates to disqualification of virtually all doctors who are due for service.

jejemanito:
We southerners should quit this pity party. The ones we've occupied what did we do with it?

I CAN BET MY LAST KOBO ON THE FACT THAT 98% OF NAIRALANDERS HAVE NO IDEA THAT SINCE 1960 NORTHERNERS HAVE PRODUCED INEC CHAIRMAN JUST TWICE. Jega and the latest man Yakubu. Southerners have held that for nothing less than 10 times Of course you won't know cause you are too blinded by ethnic sentiments

I don't understand why we always ignore the woeful performance of our state governments upon all monthly allocations they collect. If we attack them the way we attack FG we would been in paradise by now

The reason is very simple.

The INEC chairman is is usually chosen from the region that is not in power to have some measure of balance.
Probably the reason the SE has featured in this position.

Obviously the north has been in power most.

I see lots of these animals (African civet) brutally killed and hung up for sale along Okigwe -Owerri road, along with antelopes and I feel so sad each time I drive pass.

If only they knew what they were doing to that ecosystem.
And to think that the meat from this is barely up to a full grown broiler.

This doesn't mean anything.

It doesn't change the present government's incompetence.

The international community is fed up with Nigeria, they have waited and waited to see the direction the government is taking and all they see is a senile inarticulate man who is slowly turning into a dictator.

No one seems to care about the Chibok girls anymore.

No one keeps count of the deaths caused by Boko Haram anymore.
The media has suddenly gone mute on Boko Haram.

Only quarter page articles on irrelevant captures.

What a responsive government.
Irrespective of the N20 billion being owed the state by the FG mainly as a result of construction and maintenance of FG roads they still continue to put the citizen first.

I hope he remembers some other equally pressing roads.

jaymichael:
Lagos Commonwealth is used to feed your rural enclave. Lagos contributes trillions of Naira in revenue that accrue mostly from Import duty, company tax and VAT into the Nation's purse yearly. How much is Lagos given in return as Federal allocation? 200 billion naira or less. Lagos is shortchanged my friend. Lagos builds Nigeria's Commonwealth, not the other way round.

In your warped mind it is Lagos state that built and maintains the ports.

It is Lagos state that oversees import duties?

Nigerian youths are really ignorant.

An interplay of genetics and environment.
And Enyimba FC just won the league for a record 7 seven times.

Rochas should pay outstanding salaries and pensions, fix the dilapidated roads in his state before playing advocate.

Northocracy.

INEC and the executive have no business frolicking.

Unless the independence in INEC will be for fancy in this administration.

Meanwhile Osinbajo looks lost in the sea of tall north men.

QuotaSystem:
Where are all the ibo businessmen to revive the delapidated mines? Life is not all about drug trafficking and Malaysia.

What a waste.

The mining of solid minerals is an exclusive preserve of the FG.

But I guess you are not smart enough to realize that.

Where is flavor?

Psquare built a multimillion mansion. I don't recollect seeing the interior pictures

That is psquare, this is Linda.

Psquare thrives on music, Linda thrives on "gossip".
