For all those using N-Power to tout job creation under this government:

Please deduct 200,000 NPower recipients (earning 30k each) from 5,500,000 (majority earning above 30k) and tell us the net figure.

This man's bad luck doesn't have limits. It's not about individuals losing jobs, but also the families and dependents relying on them. The impact goes beyond individuals. Dropshot I can see you are viewing, please be bold enough to drop a comment!

As at August 2016, 4.58 million Nigerians had become unemployed since the President Muhammadu Buhari administration took power.

AlNur:
But we have population

you're funny

They should continue spending all of Nigeria's forex on medical bills and flights.

Zero shame.

Have you noticed that they are all whites. True love seems to elude Africans.

A Black couple actual holds the record for the longest marriage. Don't just jump to generalize.

hehehe ... "ipobs are mad" "burn yourself" "daddy is waiting" Got better things to do than engage a dolt littering the e-space with stupidity.

Yup. Dolt is an understatement as even if his life depended on it, he can't make a sensible comment.

LordAdam16:
Your head dey pain you shey?

Of all the revelations in that article, the only thing you guys could pick was the inaccurate "9 out of 10" statement?

Now, can the VP's team and you and your bunch of OMC chatbots talk about the other names in the article?

Let me list them:

1. Tunde Irekera (a managing partner at SimonsCooper who is the present Director General of the Consumer Protection Council.
2. Segun Awolowo (the VP's brother-in-law, Executive Director/CEO, Nigerian Export Promotion Council, which SaharaReporters lambasted as an utterly corrupt fellow -- http://saharareporters.com/2016/03/25/segun-awolowos-reign-ruin-nigerian-export-promotion-council and was spared in the recent shakeup by Pastor Enelamah despite the plethora of complaints).
3. Yewande Sadiku (Executive Secretary/CEO of Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission -- http://dailymail.com.ng/biographyprofilehistory-yewande-sadiku-nigeria-investment-promotion-commission-nipc-executive-secretary/).
4. Jide Zeitlin (Chairman of the Board of National Sovereign Wealth Fund Investment Authority and lambasted by SaharaReporters for being accused of shady practices in India -- http://saharareporters.com/2017/05/13/nigerian-government-appoints-man-questionable-character-board-chair-sovereign-wealth-fu-1)
5. Funsho Doherty (DG of National Pension Commission (PENCOM))
6. Benjamin Oviosun (Executive Commissioner, National Pension Commission in contravention of Federal Character Principle of one nominee per geo-political region)
7. Akin Akinwale (Executive Commissioner, National Pension Commission in contravention of Federal Character Principle of one nominee per geo-political region)
8. Alex Okoh (DG of Bureau of Public Enterprises)
9. Olukayode Pitan (Pastor at RCCG--Tabernacle of David--who was made the MD of Bank of Industry)

Or do you think we are kids here? That AG midget is a bigot and corrupt fellow. A million publications would not change the reality.

I can condone your stupidity in quoting me on flimsy issues, but don't drag names like Hucienda and Lady Ephi321 who were objective observers on that thread based on available information.

Now call all your dumbos and let them explain the 9 names aforementioned.

Nonsense.

-Lord

He obviously isn't very okay upstairs which is evident in his posts. I simply ignore him, can't be exchanging words with someone who only makes senseless comments all over the place.

,..Chioma 17 have been dating for the past five years to the extent that Chioma abandoned her education at secondary school level and started living with Moruf who is a fashion designer and Muslim Faith, in their family house.

So he's been committing paedophilia since the girl was 12. Animal.

There is something very wrong with the world these days.

Meanwhile we've got African leagues...smh. Europeans are truly winning on all fronts.

conductor3:
Buhari is a fool.

Beht why?

tillaman:
Donald Trump keeps saying it, why do you need to come to the US since our norms disgusts you, so why not stay in ur country where your culture doesn't irritate you

But this wasn't a terrorist attack..

seunmsg:
Pushing for such while still in acting capacity would be very stupid of him. The North will view it differently and when the attacks come, the south east will quickly join in attacking him. If he can be attacked by the north and south east unfairly over ministerial nomination and appointments of domestic aides, what then will happen if a military university proposed to be sited in the north is moved to the south? Only a substantive southern president with a united southern support can take such decision.

Most people far prefer Osinbajo than they ever will prefer Buhari, so the south east joining the north to attack him is just an excuse. In any case, I hope this will continue to be put on the front burner because it's a very dangerous indicator for the rest of the country whether south east or south south or south west.

Friedweed:
Wow. If only sarki and other BMC agents passed their promotion interviews. Maybe till 2019 then.

Rotfl

Promotion to become senior zombies and lose complete use of their brains, haha!

seunmsg:
Osinbajo is the vice president while Buhari is the commander in chief of the armed forces. Sensitive decisions like this stop at the table of the president.

Again, it will be very difficult for an Osinbajo to forcefully push for something like this with the current acrimonious relationship between the south west and east. The people of the south east will quickly join the north to attack and label him a tribalist and such can affect his future political fortunes. The recent Dr Farouk Ismaila attack that was published by, the sun, vanguard, eloboam.com and other ibocentric platforms readily comes to mind.

I'm surprised none of the SW leaders has ever raised this issue either, it's a critical one.

The "acrimonious" relationship between the south west and east has no bearing on what Osinbajo can do or not do. Afterall, he can push for some of those bases to be located across the nation as long as it is outside the North which is already over-skewed. You are just using the supposed acrimony as an excuse in my opinion.

It's a very dangerous trend and I think it should be brought up in the National Assembly, unless as I said you guys are fine with the status quo.

seunmsg:
I agree with you absolutely, some of the military training institutions should be in the south and not entirely in the north. One would have expected Jonathan to correct some of these anomalies but he was more interested in sacking Yoruba civil servants from Ministry of Aviation through Stella Odua. Hopefully, things like this will be corrected in the future.

Sigh. We keep revolving around Jonathan. I've already said let's put the rest of the South aside for now and focus on the SW since you guys are the ones closest in partnership with the North. What is the benefit of having Osinbajo in power if he can't influence this in some way? The Tinubus and other South West leaders, why hasn't anyone raised an eyebrow over this very vital issue...?

I also don't think "hoping this will be corrected in the future" is the right approach. That's almost like resigning to fate, unless of cos you guys are happy with it and don't mind.

You won't see seunmsg, dropshot and co here on a key issue, but on kanu or biafran threads, they will sit on it like they're being owed money.

Dudes, why isn't a single one of these institutions in the SW (let's put the other southern parts aside for a moment)?

hucienda:
ehyaa ... d publication by d 'phantom' farouk rili enta am.

Meanwhile his zombies are attending Nigerian polytechnics and universities which are forever on strike.

Hope y'all will borrow sense soon

Defending a man who supposedly borrowed 1 million for his form but can afford British fees typically over 10,000 GBP per year = definition of a F.O.O.L yep.

sukkot:
aiiit then my igwe

lolo not igwe

sukkot:
time is here. if you cant see it now you can never see it. so i am here being your eyes, and I am telling you, you are flirting with genocide. Trump will drop a nuke on the SE if you try to secede from nigeria. you know that nigga Trump is crazy lmao

oga sukkot, you are entitled to your mysticism. Not everyone is interested in such. Let time unravel things, simple. There is no story there.

sukkot:
hmmm trust me the use of oil is here to stay forever not because there are not alternative methods but because with oil you can control nations. this world and the oil is about control and power and not necessarily the intrinsic value of the oil itself. the oil is a means to an end and the end is control and power. so the value in the oil is not the money it brings but the fact that they use it for geopolitical power manoeuvres. point being oil is here to stay forever and nigeria will always be in the forefront of the oil wranglings and any body who wants to interrupt that will be nuked back into the stoneage. be warned. this is not 1967. this is 2017 and you igbos are playing with genocide

There is no point debating. Time will tell.

sukkot:
you are very myopic if you think this war will be between nigeria and biafra. every country benefitting from oil from nigeria including USA and England will supply bombs and weapons and nukes to nigeria. this is 2017 not 1967. just one bomb or nuke or drone dropped on the SE will kill every igboman alive

Same US that has shale now? Plus there are other countries producing oil, Nigeria does not have monopoly of a product that may soon be rendered irrelevant with the current focus on energy transition, just a matter of time. You guys are on a long thing, looool.

edoyad:
We have been signing rail, mining , refinery , power and what not projects since the first tenure of Obasanjo, what tangible results do we have to show for all these ?
Apart from privately sponsored projects like those of Dangote, there's no assurance that the govt funded ones will be completed. Look at the River state monorail for example, it's turning out to be one of the whitest Elephant projects in this country's history

All those funds are sitting in private pockets somewhere.

michoim:
Your assertion is shameful. That GEJ after about 6 years in power with all the oil money of US $140per barrel at a production rate of 2.2million barrel per day, the highest in Nigeria history, was only able to build without completing it, a very short distance railway between Abuja and Kaduna!

Even IBB that people say institutionalize corruption in Nigeria, in his days when government revenues were like nothing compare to what GEJ made, IBB still built the 3rd mainland bridge in Lagos; which cannot still be matched till date. How then shall we hail him.

You mentioned GEJ, mentioned IBB. Fair point. So what has Buhari built?

Pavore9:
Sadly, a passport summarizes a Country! Travelled with a Ghanian to another African country, at the Airport was told to step aside with other Nigerians for "further clearance" while the Ghanian was given an easy passage!

That green passport is a No - No. Completely of no use when compared to many other passports.

Nigeria should be ashamed of itself. Even within the continent, we have nothing tangible to boast of!

Life expectancy in Nigeria is among the lowest in the world. Shame.

OZAOEKPE:
Dropshots and his people would soon tell us that Jonathan stole the funds

You will never see dropshot on this kind of post, he and his goons will rather knock themselves out on kanu's thread, seeing as there is nothing tangible to defend with APC. Big shame.

So they basically made noise to launch the clean up and that was it. No actual follow up action.

Deceptive government.

abbeyfel:
Enjoy your day...

Thanks! you too..

abbeyfel:
You dont only say thanks for favours. You say thanks too when people do right. Thanks for your constructive arguement anyways...

For anything else, yes. With politicians, no. Same here. Have a good day.

abbeyfel:
Do you know how many people are in need of that job you think you got? And how many of these politicians divert monies meant for the masses? Saying thank you to your HR is a personal thing base on your understanding of life. Am not sticking my head for or against it. All am saying is that people should be appreciated when they do right because there is an opportunity to do otherwise. Desmond as done right. Sikena. I wish the member representing my constituency does same. Bros pls am not here to argue on issues like this. Go check out other deeds of my Desmond for his people. This is just one of many. He deserves kudos...

fyi, I'm not a bro.
The reason other members are not doing anything for their constituency is because they know Nigerians have no standards. That is the same reason they divert money, no accountability, people will never ask them.
Kudos to Desmond quite alright, but it is his job he is doing. That is what he was voted to do.

We don't have to agree, but I stand on my point that politicians should be made to deliver. It is not a favour.
