In Biafra we stand

Look around you: It's still nigeria.

If you dont believe me, next time you're filling a form, where it says NATIONALITY, write BIAFRAN.

Reddit:
I couldn't give a concrete well thought answer to that question.

Therein lies the problem.

It's your own failure to grasp the situation thats responsible for your unnecessary conundrum.

aloeeverhealth:
Are u employed?

He's not.

Being close to the buhari family, i offered to push in his CV.

If he has one.

Abok1:

Everyone on Nairaland knows Barcanista to be an ambidextrous individual with a knack for myopic swevens based on hear-says and mere trumpery. He is constantly making face-saving ripostes, in a bid to launder an already quomodocunquized reputation, while constantly making spontaneous panegyric eulogy about GEJ. While with the same warped logic, slags President Buhari, whose only crime is ousting the non-performing incumbent in a free and fair election.

Great. Now you've given me brain fever.

Congrautlations.. what will he be called?. DOROson?

barcanista:
Good evening all, I was reading an article authored by Buhari that he wrote on Washington Post http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/nigeria-committed-to-good-governance-and-fighting-terror/2015/07/20/8c1acd00-2e21-11e5-8353-1215475949f4_story.html. In the said article he attempted to justify delay in his appointment of Cabinet by alleging that President Obama also had some delay in his first term. Please read this excerpt..

"When cabinet ministers are appointed in September, it will be some months after I took the oath of office. It is worth noting that Obama himself did not have his full Cabinet in place for several months after first taking office; the United States did not cease to function in the interim." --- (Pres. Muhammadu Buhari)

I paused to ask myself whether the Obama that Muhammadu Buhari was referring to is the incmbent President of The United States or another Obama.

Obama Named His Cabinet Before Taking Office:
Obama was elected President on November 4, 2008. As President-elect Obama immediately started the nomination of his Cabinet. By December 17, 2008, Barack Obama had already nominated all his Cabinet Secretaries. Obama was sworn-in on January 20, 2009. www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Barack_Obama/Appointments_and_nominations_as_President

The only late cabinet nomination of Obama was Judd Gregg- the nominee for Commerce Secretary. His nomination came on Feb 3, 2009. That is 13 days after Obama was sworn in. The delay was because the FIRST nominee for the position Bill Richardson withdrew his nomination on January 6, 2009 due to some allegation against him as New Mexico state Governor (He was nominated on the 4th of Dec 2008. See his own word

"I have concluded that the ongoing investigation also would have forced an untenable delay in the confirmation process,"
"Given the gravity of the economic situation the nation is facing, I could not in good conscience ask the president- elect and his administration to delay for one day the important work that needs to be done."

www.nbcnews.com/id/28493919/

So which Obama was Buhari referring to?

Buhari The Record Breaker:
Already Buhari has made a record as the first elected President of Nigeria to stay in office for 53 days without having Secretary to the Government of the Federation. ExPresidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Dr Jonathan named Ufot Ekaete and Ayim Pius Ayim as SGF same day of their inauguration in 1999 and 2011 respectively. Late Yar'adua named Babagana Kingibe as SGF 24hrs after his inauguration in 2007. Buhari however is yet to. This shows that Buhari is not serious with the business of governance.

Buhari will break another record should he fail to nominate Ministers by the end of this month. He will break the record of Musa Yar'adua as the longest streak without naming a cabinet. Yar'adua named his cabinet on the 28th of July 2007. Buhari's delay till September will mean beating Yar'adua's record by more than a month (depending on the date he nominates his cabinet). Buhari will also become the only elected African and Global leader to stay in office for FOUR months without a cabinet.

These records are not the kind of record that any serious country wish for. I don't think Nigeria's case is different. Finally, Muhammadu Buhari should stop trying to act smart by playing on Nigeria's intelligence. His failure to name a cabinet shows that he isn't prepared for leadership.


May God Bless Us All

I would suggest you look for other more constructive means of venting your rage at the election of buhari and the ignominious downfall of your oga GEJ. This incessant attempt at ridicule only serves to out you as a jobless ne'er-do-well. No matter how you slice it and dice it, Buhari is president for the next four years, and it'll take some supreme quirk of nature for an ijaw or igbo man to ever rule naija again.

so crawl back to your damp and dingy space, lick your wounds in silence, and forward me your CV. i know the Buhari family, maybe we can toss you some scraps for you to live by.

TheSonOfMark:

Yet they avoid FACTUAL evidence of there being underage voting (ILLEGAL voting) in the North.

The population census is around the corner and they'd inflate figures in their arid region.

I'd love to see this "factual" evidence ( i wonder whether there is anything that qualifies as EVIDENCE that is not also FACTUAL)

Fayose you will live long like methusellah, don't mind the bad belle poster behind me....
Fayose!! ....na our Man!!!

Your childishness is boundless.

You think APC, governing the entire of the country at the federal level, loses sleep over an insignificant state and its thuggish governor?

Amaechi, okorocha, oshiomhole et al are over in US dining with the most powerful man in the world and you're here ranting about ekiti?

My, your worldview is microscopic.

It's telling that you mentioned apple, samsung and tecno in the same sentence.

7Alexander:
I work in a not-too-big establishment that is owned by my brother-in-law, we have a staff of 7 ladies, 4 guys including myself.

The problem i have is that these ladies whose job is largely secretarial thinks that given my connection with the CEO, that i am financially privileged, now, i'm just managing myself, albeit comfortably, but, there is no time i can have a single conversation with these ladies without me hearing something like, 'find something for me nah', 'hope you will find me weekend money', 'you be oga nah, your own better' and stuffs like that.

Recently, one of them celebrated her birthday at the office but brought no drinks, during the celebration, she blatantly asked me to bring #5000 to support her, i was like what? The whole thing is pissing me off.

I remember a day i told one of them to buy me sachet water, she asked me how an oga like me should be drinking sachet water and not a bottled water.

The new and most annoying trend now is that anytime i send them to get me food, which is sold between 250 and 350, they either do not get me any change or they tell me that the food vendor is owing them, and we know the rest.

Please nairalanders how best do i express my displeasure to them without being petty, while also sustaining their goodwill?

Psst. The five 'F' rule:

Fund them
Friend them
Fool them
Fckk them
Forget them

Always works for me.

alfred5:
Queen holds more power than Prime Minister... But can you say, Prime Minister of Great Britain is/was never Britain Leader?


Daunce!

No, you great lump of misery. In the british system the queen holds less political power than the PM, and this is by fact of history. Historically britain was an absolute monarchy, then a charter monarchy, later it became a pseudo democracy.

However, the queen still remains head of state, a largely ceremonial role.

Head of state doesnt mean power, it means influence.

Head of state, head of government, and commander in chief of the armed services: that is power.

alfred5:
Tafawa Balewa, was he once a Nigerian Leader or not? Answer the question first then call yourself M-U-M-U.

Leader is a blanket term. Abubakar Shekau is a leader. Im a leader in my household, just like you're a leader of your neighborhood riffraff.

The point is, a head of government is never accorded the same ceremony when visiting as a head of state.

The reason is this:

A head of government represents the resident political establishment in power, which may not be in the favors of the host country.

A head of state, on the other hand, represents the nation and its people and thus is accorded greater honor.


While tafawa balewa was head of government, buhari is both head of government and head of state.

Buhari, as such and as commander in chief, holds more power than balewa ever did.

Stop comparing apples to oranges.

Chai! MUMU....

Check the difference between parliamentary system of government and presidential system of government. Come back and thank me later.

Go to school, you say No. Chai.... Imagine a person saying someone was just a prime minister and not president, when they are obviously to title leaders in different system of government. I guess David Cameron, the prime minister of Britain cannot be regarded as the leader of Britain because he is not a president.

Or are you now trying to tell us that Tafawa Balewa should be expunged as one of the leaders of Nigeria because Nigeria practised parliamentary system of government then, that gave powers that today's president have, because he was a prime minister?

You're irredeemably dense.

In the parliamentary system a prime minister is Head of Government, a President is a Head of State, representing the prestige of the country. Most honot is accorded to the Head of State. Similar to what obtains in france.

In britain david cameron is head of government, the queen is head of state, so the queen gets a better reception at state visits.

In the presidential system such as ours the president is both head of government and head of state.

Tafawa balewa and buhari cannot be held in the same hierarchical regard.

All this bombastic verbiage is just to put people off by making the job look nuclear-science technical.

It all boils down to this:

We're looking for a webmaster who also knows java, c#, and jquery/javascipt/JSON etc, to create apps based on our specs and requirements, and manage our backend infrastructure.

What the heck has Rochas been eating?

The man is dangerously overweight.

Look at him, hulking over the table like he went there just for the food.

Oshiomole looks like Koba from Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

Amaechi looks like a New Jersey love-vendor, in that luminescent monstrosity.

Screw those gaddam recruiters. Everyone can do anything in the office, what with computers and SaaS etc.

A CV is a CV is a CV even if written with crayola or monkey ink. The essential gist of a CV is: i schooled here, i did this, give me that job.


Give us a gaddam job already, stop this regimented crap. Its tiresome spending days garnishing a CV only to read that a desired format is required. You then follow that format religiously only to have your CV tossed into the crapper because of frivolous excuses that you used Times New Roman font rather than Helvetica. Or that you should've typed your CV on an Apple laptop, or the PDF format you sent your CV was 2 kb more than required.

Now even saying one knows Excel and PowerPoint is wrong? Bleep this crap.

Give niggas jobs.

There are extremely talented, inventive, and genuinely skilled people here on nairaland and online elsewhere whose talents are being wasted fighting about politics, phones and virginity.

Mister recruiter, stop the bullsh1t about CVs and give niggas jobs.

That's all.

order online here

then take it to the grease monkeys at your fave phone repair outfit.

the free shipping versions should damage your wallet only by 13k (at current official xchange of $1 = N198.90) much cheaper than the +20k they'd make you pony up.

mind you this is the entire lcd and digitizer (touch sensor) and front panel plus tools.

barcanista:
Buhari seriously need to learn not only democratic tenets but also how to ruin a government. He has never gotten anything wrong since May 29 and Jonathanians are very worried.

there. fixed.

*waving white handkerchief*

CHIEF...

I DEY HAIL OH!

Sometimes the mods and the owner of this site needs to be told the truth.

Nairaland is dead.

End of story.

the hallowed front page is much maligned and abused by the most mundane of contents. once upon a time, only the most exemplary posts and threads made it to the front, we had to go to particular sections for new content. and that segmentation kept sanity and repeat audience as well as regular meaningful updates.

now, alas, the front page serves as the only landing point for most people,. they come, they glance, they leave. because of the randomness and haphazard promotion of every banal post to the front page, the whole affair is devoid of seriousness and purpose. once one logs into nairaland, one quickly scans the frontpage, sifting through puerility such as "davido instagrams his butt crack", "sean tizzle has a weird head", "AY buys new car", "ini edo pouts for camera", "Keshi taking a sh1t", "buhari mispronounces 'Worcestershire' " "picture of a dead body", "picture of fish in lagoon" etc etc. one wades thgrough the same frivolity one escaped from linda ikeji, naij, etc.

nairaland is dead, and seun doesnt give a hoot.

someday, someone will create a forum with the spirit of old.

omenka:
Why are you people like this?? The ex president appointed this guy who hails from the Niger Delta (I think Bayelsa) and no one talked about him prosecuting an ethnic agenda. Now he's been fired and no replacement made yet, but you guys are already talking trash.

These are some of the nonsense that have made this forum become a breeding ground for hatred lately.

This is so disgusting.

thank you. seun has allowed his once-vaunted forum to go to the dogs. the dozy mods have allowed morbid little boys and girls to infest the threads and spread vile, hate, fear, uncertainty, doubt.

this is a forum where one cannot say nak3d or b00bs without the words transposed to unclad and bosom as a form of censorship, but yet one is inundated with daily photos of mangled, mutilated and gory scenes of death and carnage.

i miss the nairaland of circa 2005-2010

Bro where is the real Jack?

there were no jack or rose. both were made up to fictionalize the drama of the sinking.

at OP, the previous photo captioned "Titanic at the bottom of the ocean" is not the real titanic, that's a model.

this is stupid in so many levels. obama didnt need to ask for a change of guard, buhari was going to fire the whole lot anyway.

sensationalist headline is still sensationalist.
