Politics › History Repeating Itself Today: 1983 Vs 2018 by engineerboat(op): 10:05am On Jan 09, 2018
History Being Repeated?
.
In 1983:
.
$1 = N 1
£1 = N2
Volkswagen Beetle = N400
Foods were in abundance
Kids were in school
Businesses were booming with vibrant
economy and people were gainfully
employed.
No illegal arrest or media trial.
Rule of law was maintained.
.
On 31 December, 1983, he and his criminal
gang struck with the excuse of tackling
widespread corruption and within few
months,
.
$1 = N15
£1 = N40
Volkswagen Beetle = N8, 000
Kids dropped out of school because their
parents couldn't afford their school fees
anymore.
Businesses closed down.
Foods were rationed as people queued up
for essential commodities.
Many Nigerians lost their jobs because the economy collapsed.
Innocent Nigerians were arrested for free
speech and human rights violated with
impunity.
The Constitution was suspended.
.
He blamed Alh. Shagari's govt for this mess.
He blamed corruption, yet he jailed Dr. Alex Ekwueme (the Vice President) but left
Shagari (the president) in his palace.
.
But when another gang threw him out, and
within few months, Nigerians started
smiling again. Our kids returned to school,
food was in abundance again, Nigerians got their jobs back and the economy was
revived etc.

In 2015:
.
$1 = N197-210
£1 = N289-320
Cars were affordable with local
manufacturers smiling to the bank.
Food was in abundance (at least a bag of
rice was N7, 000)
Kids were in school
Businesses were booming with vibrant
economy and people were gainfully
employed.
No illegal arrest or media trial.
Protesters (esp BBOG) were not killed or
teargassed.
.
On 29 May, 2015 when he was 'jega-ed' into power:
.
$1 = N500-490
£1 = N610-610
Local car manufactures shut down their
plants due to harsh economic condition.
Famine was unleashed on Nigerians and a
bag of rice rose to N22, 000/27, 000 while
minimum wage remains N18, 000.
Kids dropped out of school.
Businesses closed down, millions lost their jobs and inflation is in double digits.
Illegal arrest, disregard of Rule of Law and
media trial is the order of the day.
Peaceful Protesters (esp IPOB) are being
killed like chicken without provocation.

Just like in 1985, he's blaming corruption
and his predecessor for the same mess he created within few months of assumption
of office.

Politics › Governor Yahaya Bello: Hired Masqurades To Sack 1,774 Workers by engineerboat(op): 11:34am On Jan 08, 2018
Kogi Government on Sunday confirmed the compulsory retirement of eight permanent secretaries, some directors and dismissal of 1, 774 others from the state civil service.

Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State
The affected staff were served their letters last December.


The letters were signed by the state Head of Service, Mrs Deborah Ogunmola and the Chairman of the state Civil Service Commission, Mr Ado Shaibu.


A copy of the retirement letter addressed to one of the affected permanent secretaries indicated that the retirement was “in the interest of the public.”

Some of the affected permanent secretaries told NAN that they were contemplating legal action.

However, Mrs Petra Akinti-Onyegbule, Chief Press Secretary to Governor Yahaya Bello, defended the action, saying it was part of ongoing reforms in the civil service.


According to her, the retirement affected only permanent secretaries that have served for four years and above.

“The retired permanent secretaries have been paid their consolidated benefits that accrued to them.

“Also affected are civil servants who have attained the special salary grade level 17,” she said.

The governor’s media aided added that directors that served for eight years and above would also be affected.


She said the exact number of directors to be affected would be based on the outcome of the recent promotion interviews conducted for them.

“ In order to get the best replacement for the retired permanent secretaries, directors who had been in office for eight years and above but are yet to attain retirement age or maximum number of years in office were given the opportunity to partake in the exams to fill the position of permanent secretaries.

“The result of the examinations which held on Tuesday, December 12, 2017 and followed by interviews is yet to be out.

“Until the result is out, we will not be able to put a definite figure on the number of directors that will be affected by the compulsory retirement,’’ she said.

The chief press secretary also confirmed that 1,667 workers with fake certificates were dismissed from the state civil service.

She said that those dismissed were uncovered during the screening carried out by the state government in 2016 and 2017.

Akinti-Onyegbule also said 107 other workers were dismissed for engaging in fraudulent activities.

“Kogi state government is carrying out reforms at different stages to reposition its civil service for effectiveness, efficiency and productivity.

“The screening exercise which began in 2016 has since ended.

“The reversal of the inverted pyramid at the civil service is another phase of the much needed reforms meant to ensure the civil service plays its role as the engine room of government efficiently and effectively.” she said.

Politics › Dead Men Appointments: Check Your Geopolitical Zone by engineerboat(op): 4:18pm On Dec 30, 2017
Total number of dead people discovered so far on Buhari appointment list is six:

1. Senator Francis Okpozo (Delta State)
2. Rev Fr Christopher Utov (Benue State)
3. DIG Donald Ugbaja (rtd)
4. Garba Attahiru (Kaduna)
5. Umar Dange (Sokoto).
6. Dr Nabbs Imegwu (Rivers State)

Though some geopolitical zones have not produced their own dead people on the list.

This time each geopolitical zone should produce at least one dead person for this appointment. We can't accept lopsided appointment of dead people. So we are still checking the list for more.

Agreed but talk about Bayelsa State. An Ijaw state , home to a former president. A state that receives larger allocation than most.

A state that has no infrastructure.

A state that has one of the lowest population counts.

Bayelsa State acknowledges it owes 5 months of slariwd while the workers claim they are owed between 10 and 16 months salaries.

Please talk about them.
