Efcc even took away watches found in the house. This agency is dragging itself to the mud just to please Buhari and his cohorts. Hope they also seized pots of soup found in the house. ...And why do I have this feeling that those seized watches were at the instance of some greedy efcc staff and that they may never be returned to the owners.

Buhari is -1. Not good for anything. He is a curse to anything he touches. I strongly believes that if that man leaves that office today(whether by natural or unnatural means), the price of naira will start growing against the dollar,oil price(even internationally) will start improving,power supply will become more stable. The man just has a negative spiritual force on him. He took power in 1983 and in 10months the nation was grounded to a halt. Now he's barely a year and every area has entered the reverse gear. |
Image123:One would have thought that you would have presented facts to counter his indisputable facts,instead like every other typical zombie(devoid of independent and objective reasoning),you completely ignore the point and resort to insults and name calling. Why are you like that? |
Love jonathan or hate him but you must admit that he got the best brains around him. Reno was very apt and thorough in his analysis. How can FG threaten to withdraw the license of a bank becaause they were downsizing. If they sack about 200 staff and you withdraw their license,you have just sacked over 2,000 remaining ones. This govt is quite daft |
kalan:I actually want to do an msc program only. I've gone thru their site and didn't see any process engineering. Pls explain. Also,I read somewhere u wrote that a bsc account holder can't do an msc in mgt. How true is that? |
Let me know the msc courses a bsc holder of accountancy can do and how much are the fees for each course? |
The Vanguard newspaper reported the visit of a delegation of Northern leaders to the then president-elect Muhammadu Buhari on May 11th 2015. The delegation was led by Alhaji Maitama Sule. Sule told Buhari: “You are the president of Nigeria, you are not the president of Northern Nigeria by the grace of God”. Maitama Sule was someone you had to take seriously. I ruminated over the story for several minutes and wondered why the acclaimed orator felt the need to publicly ask Buhari to be a president for the whole of Nigeria. We now know why and the underpinnings are quite ugly. The president needs to demonstrate that he is willing to trust Nigerians who neither speak Fulfulde nor Hausa. My assessment is that his skewed appointments speak to a lack of trust, rather than outright clannishness. The president needs to realise that he is president of the whole of Nigeria and millions of Nigerians from the streets of Kano to the parks of Lagos genuinely wish him well in office. His success is our success. No one should make light of the efforts that go into each political appointment. I do not think the president sets out to spite anybody but the idea that he is appointing people on merit despite the lopsidedness is no longer funny. If President Buhari sincerely believes that his appointments so far have been based on merit, then with all due respect, his future is in standup comedy. The president’s inner circle seems to lack not just adequate representation but also depth and rigour. Buhari did not think he would win the elections as he did not expect President Jonathan to concede defeat. Therefore, President Buhari assumed office grossly unprepared and lacking the scintilla of a plan for governance. He had become habituated to losing elections and did not do his rudimentary homework on Nigeria’s many problems. This is quite problematic given that he contested for over 12 years. Why exactly was he running for office? Did he think he was simply going to manage oil wealth? There are no new problems in Nigeria. Many of the problems have increased in intensity and metastasised but none of the problems is entirely new. Consequently, a diligent presidential candidate would have prepared. The president simply assumed he could show up and his “body language” — whatever that means — would keep people in check and all would be well. His command and obey personality type has not helped matters. I have a lot of respect for the military but Nigeria is not an overgrown military barracks. By personality type, temperament and proclivity, Buhari is unsuited to the rather frustrating guiles of democracy and demands of civil society. Gains have clearly been made in the fight against Boko Haram, although we still await the rescue of all the Chibok girls. The plight of the internally displaced persons (IDPs) is a test of the basic competence of this administration. The signs are not good given the deplorable conditions of IDPs. What is going on at the camps is nothing short of state crime — in this case, elaborate criminogenic structures established by government workers in the course of their duties. Let me assure President Buhari with the benefit of over seven years of research on the Niger Delta that there is no military solution to the problem posed by the Niger Delta Avengers. Deployment of troops may provide a temporary reprieve but in the end, the administration’s current approach is similar to taking Panadol for a heart problem. The Niger Delta Avengers are the newly minted products in the carousel of social injustice. Exterminating the Avengers to the last combatant — assuming that were probable — would provide a two-to-three year tranquility before other groups emerge. Why? The underlying factors fabricating insurgents in the Niger Delta have not been tackled. President Jonathan failed the Niger Delta. He and several Niger Delta governors did a fine job of adopting a cosmetic solution — coopting insurgent “Generals” and distributing allowances through the amnesty programme. However, the Mary Kay approach should have been followed up with serious infrastructural development in the Niger Delta. The president acknowledged via a letter dated July 21st 2015 the receipt of a copy of my book on the Niger Delta. Based on interviews with diverse participants such as Ken Saro-Wiwa (Jr.), Annkio Briggs, Asari Dokubo, and dozens of ex-agitators, and community members, among others, I hate to state that I predicted what is going on now. Government policy ought to be crafted and implemented with findings from empirical research and not transient emotions. The president’s reluctance to publicly focus on the Fulani herdsmen’s violence that has ravaged Benue and several other states may haunt his administration and legacy. His approach to the issue has been a national embarrassment in a country where shame took off a long time ago. The president needs to show leadership and assert that human lives are more important than cattle. In addition, the handling of the issue of Biafra is the stuff that separates real statesmen from half-baked politicians. The president has not approached the South-East with the needed acumen and sophistication. He has come off as irritable and petulant. A deeper engagement with the South-East and South-South is long overdue. The main part of the narrative is the president’s capacity. This is a combination of innate talents and acquired knowledge. There is no expectation anywhere in the world that a Head of State would have answers to all things. However, a leader must be a mop for knowledge. Buhari’s hermitic lifestyle after leaving the military and following each electoral loss was not adequate preparation for governance. He is the only former Head of State with no known involvement in think-tanks or any foundation executing humanitarian projects. Buhari’s repertoire of knowledge has unraveled in the face of “modern” challenges. I doubt that the president is teachable and I feel sorry for his advisers. I have come to the conclusion based on the evidence of the last one year that the president either lacks the humility to learn or is simply bereft of the capacity to adapt to 21st century leadership. Each of these two problems is in and of itself debilitating; to have both reposed in a president is the road to systemic paralysis. We are in terrible company. It is the singular reason why Africa is not rising despite the optimism of the last few years. All hope is not lost. I continue to believe that Buhari’s administration may yet leave Nigeria better than it was in 2015 if the president focuses on his current term and banishes the temptation to seek a second term. The math is simple: President Buhari cannot win a second term under a free and fair atmosphere. Besides, everything he stands for would be negated in the quest for a second term. His second term as I stated in an open letter to the president would be similar to Obasanjo’s third term project. Finally, is Buhari a president of Northern Nigeria? The talakawa of the North have also been negatively affected by Buhari’s babalawo economics. There are Northerners who are unhappy with his geographically favouritist, sexist and ageism-in-reverse appointments. I don’t think Buhari would be remembered as the president of Northern Nigeria. Unless the president turns things around, he will be remembered — perhaps unfairly — as a policy lightweight and the president who could not provide tomatoes. ‘Tope Oriola is professor of criminology at the University of Alberta, Canada. |
Woe unto the people of philadelphia for some new demons have been ushered into your air space. |
irunooboo:Young girl,I think you should concentrate on attending to the customers that come into your oga's cybercafe for now. |
I still find it very strange that the hausa/fulani has been ruling this nation,had ran this country aground,has taken up all important offices in this nation,has fed fat from the resources of this nation till date and yet that particular tribe that are hardly in govt,that isn't ruling this nation,that isn't responsible for running the nation aground,that just want to hustle in private life to live a good life is a threat to people? Why? I strongly believe that some day the messiah this nation needs will be from the igbo stock and the enemy knows this and is thus raising haters to suppress them without any just cause. Selah |

Jonathan's worst is better than Buhari's best. Anyway,his humility is still outstanding. If it were to be my governor,and you try to shake his hands,he will look at you from head to toe with disdain and say 'Bia nwokem,imakwa onye mbu?' |
Akon419:No wahala. But I just hope there won't be an uproar from the northerners when another tribe like igbo takes power and decides to do exactly the same thing. See how uncomfortable and jittery the whole north became just because Jonathan distributed things equitably,giving a fair opportunity to others aswell. If there's any region that plays tribalism to the fullest without any atom of consideration for others,it is these people. |
Why didn't he just open the bag? Why must he stab somebody that told him to open his bag twice in the neck? Was he expected to keep his own life after taking another? |
![]() babydioku:Bia nwa,odika inwere onu ojo? But on a serious note,its a wrong statement by buhari. So anyone who doesn't respect the other's religion brings violence upon himself? |
Why is it that when a point is laid before these apc fanatics(zombies),rather than address or counter the points raised,they play this 'what about GEJ' card? Or they resort to just insulting the personalities,but never addressing the point. To me,playing that card is a means of admitting the accusation and now asking 'you didn't you do it too?' |
Kudos to Mr Ben Murray Bruce. I love his wits anyday. He's always apt and sharp with his response. Don't go against him if you aint got the wits. And I can sense the tribal disdain in that person's tone. And why do nigerians think they have the right to insult celebrities but frown against these celebrities responding. |
So we are back to this level again in this nation? Denial and counter-denials flying around on the president's health. Tomorrow now,it will be rumors and counter denial of death,cabals covering death etc. It is well |
back2sender:You see why its good to read a story before commenting. See how you have just exhibitted your ignorance on a public forum simply because you jumped in by just reading the heading. To educate you,what its simply saying is that its a tradition where the old woman didn't have a son or a child and hence goes out to organise a girl for her husband or her son in the hope that she will have a son that will continue the family's name and keep the family's wealth. Just like sarah did with haggai for her hubby,abraham. Nothing lesbian as you blurted out. Son,try and read a bit more before commenting |
AxeurdaddyIX:You didn't read the story,did you? Its' got nothing to do with same sex marriage. The old women marry the girl(who's pregnant but not married) on behalf of their son or husband so that the unborn baby(if a boy) can continue their family name. Just like what sarah did for abraham with hagai. It's not a same sex story,get your mind off there |
Jega has been celebrated for conducting an impartial election. He has featured in many interviews where he came out shining but one question nobody has ever asked him which I will like to ask him is this: Did he or his deputies ever see Buhari's certificates? On which credentials did they clear buhari? ...You know this people place tribe and religion over everyother consideration(their tribalism no be here) |
We know sir. Just that the man that took over from you has that 'magic touch'. Anything he touches dies. In 1983,he toppled a thriving economy under Shagari and in ten months reduced the economy to that which nigerians now queued on the road to receive cups of salt,sugar,garri,rice and other 'essential commodities' just to feed. And like he's doing now,he spent 2years blaming the past leadership for his mess until the SMC booted him out of office. Those who don't know buhari's antecedents of blaming his predecessor for his ineffeciency has joined him in once again blaming the 'past administration' for his mess. |
As millions of Nigerians struggle to find work, some people are taking off in employment at the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN). The most important “qualification” is closeness to the Aviation Minister Sirika Hadi. A source has revealed that about 100 people have got jobs at FAAN and all of them come from Hadi’s state, Katsina, with most of the from Katsina North, his senatorial district. None of these jobs was advertised to give other unemployed Nigerians a chance. A similar scenario is said to have played out in recent times at the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Central Bank of Nigeria, with relatives of top Nigerians being shunted into hundreds of jobs and no pretence of open competition. http://www.naijiant.com/beer-parlour-gist/nigerias-aviation-minister-creating-jobs/ |
Nigerians should not panic,his doctors are responding to treatment, but he has been advised to go to katsina to rest in peace. His manhood will still leave on! Aisha can testify. |
Rochas to Udenwa: So that your tommy has dried up? Udenwa(let me pretend as if I don't see this idiot and greet the next man joor) |
Maybe she heard something like this: "This week,your husband will call you!" .....And then he called and invited her over. |
That's one thing I loved about GEJ. He carried every governor along,regardless of your party. For eg,in most of his trips,very prominent among his entourage were Kayode Fayemi(apc),Peter Obi(apga),Oshiomole(apc)etc. He just respects protocol. If GEJ was attending a christian function,then top of his team must include Tinubu's wife,Fayemi's wife,etc. Even when GEJ came to Imo state for a PDP function(infact to receive decampees to pdp),his chief host was still Rochas of apc who received him at the airport before he(geJ) left for the venue of the rally. I think apc is driving this party dichotomy too far. Its as if,PDP must be treated like losers of a war that must not be allowed to come close |
And this is the same man they stated during campaign that he will from the front in the fight against bokoharam. Lies of APC once again exposed! |
Was this not the man they campaigned that will lead in the front in the fight against boko haram? Everything they ever campaigned with has turned a lie! Buhari: Osunbade,come and go to ogoni land to refresent me Osibanjo: why me sir? Is my life less precious? Buhari: Don't warry,the God of Adeboye will protect you |
Not surprised. Is he not from up there? Government is their only industry,the nation's wealth is their goal |
Gej while you were away,we now eat white rice only. Gej,while you were away,they said herdsmen from the peaceful island nation of mauritius,for lack of grazing land,flew over the atlantic ocean with their cattle to attack benue and enugu communities
