I know their history very well

SarkinYarki:
Shame on you Intels was already raking 100s of millions of dollars one the early 90s for the Nigerian govt , why do you think Abacha seized Intels when Yaradua had problems with him ? Just like another tyrant Buhari has crippled Intels today because of politics

overall90:
that not true.
most of these companies are mainly into oil and gas.
ask people who grew up in Warri and Port Harcourt in the early nineties about Nicotes services(Intels)

Are you saying a judge receives 5-10 million naira a month ❓ That's about £20k a month, no judge gets that here not even the prime minister gets that here.

Are you sure ❓

Dean Smith signed former Steve Bruce favourite Moses Odubajo this summer

Aston Villa have appointed Dean Smith as their new manager. The 47-year-old, a lifelong Villa fan, has left his role at Brentford in order to take the job with John Terry his assistant.


It comes after Aston Villa sacked Steve Bruce. The club had suffered a poor start to the season and Bruce’s position among the fanbase at Aston Villa had become untenable.

Smith will now be tasked with taking the club toward a promotion push after the international break.

This summer, Smith interestingly signed a player that Bruce is very fond of.

Moses Odubajo spent two seasons playing under Bruce at Hull CIty. The former Villa boss snapped him up for a reported £3.5 million in August 2015 from Brentford. He went on to be the club’s starting right-back as Bruce guided the Tigers to promotion from the Championship in 2015-16

Bruce left soon after due a disagreement with the club’s board. Odubajo had an even worse summer. He suffered a dislocated kneecap and ligament damage during the 2016 pre-season and spent most of the next two years on the sidelines.

This summer, he left Hull at the end of his contract to continue his career elsewhere. In fact, Bruce was linked with bringing him to Aston Villa in a reunion, as reported by the Hull Daily Mail.

But Odubajo headed back to Brentford, with Smith signing him to a one-year deal with the option of an extension. He returned to action in September but only played three games for Smith before he decided to take the role at Aston Villa.

Now, Smith is at Aston Villa, it will be interesting to see if Odubajo to Villa Park rumours materialise yet again.

I don't know ❓

But I went to university with a number of boys who thier Dad's were army Generals and senior officers in the Nigerian armed forces.

Some of these officer had up to 3 or more children in university in England.

Consider this, School fees per annum £7-8k plus accommodation costs, upkeep and your talking about £22k a year. In naira that's over 10 million a year per child.

Does any general officially earn 1million naira a month. ❓

The man stated the truth.......

darkelf:
I have an aunt who is a federal court judge. That salary you quoted is illegal.

Don't support corruption or try to justify it. Haba

darkelf:
I don't think it's up to a million per month bros (consolidated)

darkelf:
Captain, since this is a faceless forum, I think I can air my opinion without fearing that you'll send your army boys after me

The Nigerian Army is one of the hotbeds of corruption. We have not forgotten that your boss (Buratai) was reported to have accumulated wealth to the extent that he bought houses in Dubai.

Even in the street in Abuja where I live, (and they call the place army officer's street), there are Army Generals that have built such humongous structures obviously from the proceeds of corruption. You need to come and see these magnificent edifices built newly on multiple acres (a plot in my area goes for 20million).

It is a very painful situation because the soldiers fighting Boko-haram in the NE part of Nigeria have continuously complained of being abandoned, allowances not paid on time (or not at all), poor rotation of fighting men and then you hear of mutiny....and then court-martials of the erring soldiers. The List is endless.

Now, you said you wouldn't partake in venality yet you hope to remain in such an Army. How would it be possible? I think you may be courting assassination or even early retirement bro.

Just my observation. Please feel free to correct any misconceptions.

God, I'm in Nigeria, that's enough reason

Let me add something to this corruption talk.

Nigeria is not irredeemably corrupt. This is inspite of endemic corruption, you see around you.

When i first got to the US. What struck was not a lack of corruption but the systems and controls in place to check it. These systems once established begin to shape behavior with time. I remember telling people that America is potentially as corrupt as Nigeria if you remove the consequences.

We are too focused on catching criminals and less focused on making it incredibly hard to steal in the first place. If you arrest a corrupt person today, another corrupt person will simply replace him if there are no proper systems.

What does this mean? It means government should be focused on proper reforms on how agencies operate. And this is achievable. I have worked in consulting and provided financial control recommendations to major companies.

I remember speaking to Nigerian Senator a few years ago and he bluntly told me that the only hope for Nigeria is the future generation because his generation are so messed up.

We can not go into service with the mentality of stealing.. We need more people willing to serve and do the right thing.

CaptainStephen:
This breaks my heart, what happened to having a good name? we shouldn't tow this path no matter the circumstances involved. My father will always call my name and say don't depend on government for anything, that is why I am saving so I can smile when I retire and my pension isn't paid. That's the same set I have carried and make bold to vow I have never and will never involve my self in corruption.
It's not going to be easy as persecution will definitely come but my brother the future of this nation is in our hands.

Humility017:

Ehen, Oga Mujtahida, I need assistance with my Project work. I'm stuck and in need of proper direction. Don't know if you can help

junnyjake:
It's really convenient for you to sit back at your comfort zone in the West, chanting Sai Baba like your life depends on it, isn't it?

How we're being decimated here in the middle-belt...

Just leave matter, I've seen things, I know things and I've lost people too.

mcfarlin:
It's unfair to blame the coach for that loss...the team didn't have the drive to go forward at that stage. It was almost like they couldn't wait to go home,did you notice how scared they were?

mcfarlin:
The one we lost?

Or where was idowu when Messi was put through on goal via his flank?

mcfarlin:
How can u say Messi fled From idowu?


That's delusion of the highest order!

mcfarlin:
How much is idowu paying you?
