And who told you Tinubu was Lagos governor from 99 to 2007? Are you the one that removed him from office?

The poor country is still giving holidays

Daddy freeslze and his Baby mama are too troublesome

thebosstrevor1:
As i have written before, there is nothing like Chief of joint services but Chief of defense staff.

See there is nothing about Nigerian military you can teach..Na we be the foundation so try and learn

thebosstrevor1:
There is nothing like chief joint services.

The chief of defense staff is the highest and it is a Christian in power, he is the highest ranking officer in the Nigeria military.

The chief of army staff is the head of the army, he reports to him also the minister of defense.

CDS is a joint services office ...Chief of Joint Services is what is called CDS is Nigeria ...if you dont know something just say it ...

sarrki:
. But the boss to all the service chief is a Christian

In Nigeria Chief of Joint Services is 100 percent ceremonial , Na only Newspaper Dem dey read ..Even A GOC is more powerful than them

richmond500:
Not even up to 1%
Well, slow movement is better than stagnation

Trust me there was no growth ...this is just figments of NBS imagination

Remove Benjamin's name from.there please because Buhari can never give a Christian COAS

Growth based on what premise? Inflation was steady up , the Naira barely gained any steam instead slid to 480, Buhari govt pumped billions of unbacked tissue currency into the system , oil sales showed no improvement ....there is no where this so called marginal growth could have come from if not propaganda imaginations

He just parroted what he has been hearing his boss say in private , bringing it to social media is why he is being punished ...They all know without Shekau most of them won't have political jobs today under APC

This one is not just crocodile tears but Komodo Dragon tears...never seen such a deceptive character

Hi Everyone, I’m 26 years old and I want to share my little story with you all. I hope you can learn a thing or two from it. This is not my main account, I had to create a new account in view of my decision to share my story on this platform. I’ve been a Nairalander since 2012 and I have benefitted from the amazing academic and career insights shared by many. So, I thought it kind to share mine to help others in this amazing community.

I graduated from the University (if I reveal this, my colleagues who are avid Nairalanders would identify me ) some 4-5 years ago with a second class upper, then proceeded to the Nigerian Law School (still made 2:1) and served in Rivers State. I did my NYSC in a reputable law firm (name withheld) in Port Harcourt. It was quite an experience both good and bad. I left the firm after service year out of frustration due to the poor leadership and mismanagement of funds by the head of office (the guy has since been fired). Mind you, my salary as a corper was 10k (the average NYSC legal associate in Lagos earned at least 5 -7 times this amount). I had depression at this point in my life.

After my unpleasant experience at the Port Harcourt firm and months of depression coupled with deep thinking and reflection, I decided to relocate to Lagos in January 2020 hoping to find a change in perspective. Mind you, I’m not from a poor background, my parents are both highly educated and middle-class workers residing in the South. Part of my resolve in relocating to Lagos was that I wouldn’t practice law again, I’ll probably go into technology, banking, or corporate communications (I speak eloquently).

After my relocation, I teamed up with a friend to work at a technology startup somewhere on the Island but this newfound path didn’t go as planned (I call this divine providence) and I was back to sitting at home. I did a few speaking jobs (volunteering) and some petty legal jobs for my friends and family to get by. At this same time, I was aggressively applying for both legal and non-legal jobs. This decision came on the background of my Dad’s advice that I should dust my CV/Certificates, search for a job and revive my already dwindling legal career. My Dad’s attempt to connect me to a senior partner at a hotshot law firm in Victoria Island failed and I basically had to do it my way.

Fast-forward to mid-February 2020 I had three interviews in three law firms within a space of two weeks. These firms ranged from mid-sized to small-sized. I attended all the interviews, the first interview was in a small law firm managed by a Senior Advocate. The SAN immediately liked my personality and offered to instantly hire me on a monthly pay of 100k (below industry standard). The other two law firms had slightly better remuneration, great structure and were bigger in size and outlook but their recruitment process was lengthy and I had to start immediately with the SAN on my Dad’s advice. I grudgingly stayed with the small firm hoping that I’ll get an offer from either of the two mid-sized firms and then port. Unfortunately, COVID happened and one of the firms discontinued my recruitment process while the other firm out rightly rejected me. I was deeply heartbroken. In order to keep my spirit and dreams alive, my Dad kept drumming into my ears that a smaller firm meant more work and a better learning experience. He kept reiterating the need to “know” the law and stop chasing money (what all senior lawyers say ). So, I was basically stuck with this 100k job, trust me at first the environment was deadening and monotonous (reading law reports and writing legal opinions every day isn’t fun at all ). I felt like ditching my Old man’s advice and resigning during this period but due to COVID, I had to borrow commonsense and stay back. Little did I know that staying back was the best decision I would ever make to date, all thanks to God, my Dad and COVID.

While 100k may sound fair to most people, kindly note that some of my colleagues (with the same academic grades as mine) in top firms earned a monthly average of 250k or more. This awareness made me very discontent and unhappy but I still hung on to my job (a bird in hand is worth more than two in the bush) besides, who quits his or her job in the midst of a COVID induced global economic crises.

Then in October 2020, everything changed! My boss got this very big personal legal project, it was really big and my boss asked me to come on board the project team. I was then paid the sum of N2.5Million for my participation and input in the project. Later on, another personal project came through, although little. I did not even do much this time and my boss gifted me 500 Pounds from the project. All of this financial largess is outside my boss’ magnanimity in other areas like superb mentoring, paying for my professional certifications, and giving me advice (my boss can advise for Africa ), etc. Mind you, no matter how much I’m gifted or paid from the personal projects handled by my boss, my salary is still fully paid and as at when due. All these legal projects are reflected in my CV and have greatly boosted my career prospect. These projects have also helped me to build an impressive Linkedin profile and I’m currently very active in that space.

Recently, I got involved in another personal legal project with my boss and was paid N2 Million from the project fees. Sometimes, I look back at the events of my life and ask myself how I got to this pivotal point. If I hadn’t listened to my Dad’s advice and sought God’s face, I don’t think I would enjoy this type of privilege. I remember asking God for a multinational job but here I was, stuck with a 100k job completely unaware that God put a multinational remuneration in a small office with barely 8 employees. I’ve only worked for a year and 3 months but I’ve achieved what some people haven’t achieved in 3-5 years (career-wise and financially). Please don’t reject certain little offers that come your way, pray to God and seek advice where possible. Some blessings come in disguises and you may never know. This is my little grace-filled career story; I hope it inspires someone today. I want to thank God Almighty for his grace in my career and my lovely parents for their advice and tremendous support.

PS: I have abridged my story to hide certain facts and information for my personal safety and that of my office and boss. My story may sound too good to be true but believe me, it is absolutely true.

Well done

So it's the same protocol that is stopping Buhari from :

Doing Media chats for 5 years now

Doing regular presidential briefs

Visiting states on working visits

From visiting centres of Tragedies

from even going to his office ( he claims to work from home and hardly comes to the presidential office )

OP you can keep fooling yourself over selfish gains but all NIGERIANs know by now that Buhari is a Truant and and Absentee President

Dialpad:
They can't be everywhere, they are top government officials who work with schedules. Like I always say, we are too emotional in this country.

What difference will their presence have made, what we should worry about is the aftermath, will the government kick their families out of the residence by next month or will there be provision for their wives and children.

May the lord comfort the families of the departed.

The fact that you could even make up excuse for this shows the kind of character you are ....so what schedule does Buhari have ?

He doesn't do press briefings

He doesn't visits states

He doesn't visit locations of tragedy

He doesnt even visit his office and claims to work from home


Please tell me one of the schedule he has that kept him away ffrom this funeral

Elrufai right now grinning from end to end of his mouth

You self balancing skills must be top notch like a tight rope walker to pilot this thing

A solid soldier whom I know personally

owobokiri:
The gentleman that just died in a plane crash is a "VIP" from the security agencies..., on a serious official assignment too.
The military heads travel a lot. .. An octogenarian president shouldn't..

I know he uses the PAF aircrafts too when the need arises ..let's. It forget this Ill fated trip was just a 30mins trip from Abuja to KD and that Beechcraft king was the most suitable for such a haul

owobokiri:
Do the members of the airforce use the "presidential fleet"?
What I meant is that the planes in that fleet should be taken away from Buhari and distributed to the security agencies including The Police, The Army, The Airforce and the Navy, depending on how operationally important they're to those agencies..

The British Prime Minister has no "fleet" of comfortable aircrafts, yet he/she is obviously more administratively productive than the litany of circus clowns that have occupied Aso Rock over the last three decades... Poor countries like Nigeria should not indulge in these sorts of dramatisation of profilgacy....

Of what use would a Dassualt Falcon and BBJ 737 be to any Airforce operation..all those aircraft were purpose built for VIP transport and that's the only thing they can be used for ..

owobokiri:
3/4 of the planes in the presidential fleet should be handed over to the armed forces. They're the ones doing the job. The country has close to ten airplanes for the president alone! Where is he flying to? The man just likes flying around.. Release the planes to the commanding officers of the different security agencies fighting wars and sit your behind in a place. Some of the presidential planes are packed most times while his service Chiefs fly in these outdated planes.

The presidential fleet belongs to the Nigerian Airforce

Some of the Beechcraft 350 Nigeria procured were specifically designated for VIP transport which include ferrying of top Military officers ...His use of the aircraft was in order

NASTYNASOSO:
JUST IN: MAJ GEN ALI KEFFI GOC 1 DIV is the new acting COAS

Great officer any day

If Buhari doesn't care about his own COAS then imagine how much he can never care about BMC zombies

Deborah98:
It was unexpected,so bubu couldn't watch himself mess up and besides you need not to forget he needs to be briefed on how to talk,comport himself and even smile sef,what a funny country with a funny leader.

At least Osinbanjo should have been there

Nobody has sense in this Buhari govt

Buhari is all round Useless abeg

That one na lie !!! If you could you wouldn't be struggling to be governor

You wan use airdrop and 20 dollars be multimillionaire?

We told y'all he was heartless but una say una want am like that

Rich4god:
@OP... If this video is eyewitness video of the plane crash that killed COAS, then it was actually two planes that collided and mayb those men the villagers spotted coming down with a parachute mayb from the other plan.

In the video, the villagers said two planes collided and they had to bring the wreckage of the other to this crash site. Probably, the second plane is a small plane that allowed it's pilot to eject with a parachute.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfH1kWj8gEs

But am sure this is an old video, as the crash of yesterday happened with the vicinity of the airport.

That was the crash of Two Chengdu J7s that collided during a synchrony manuever training preparation for some govt event then one of the planes crew had their ejection seats deployed and survived then ..that's what the villagers saw
