CHISOS! KEMI ADEOSUN HAS GONE MAD AGAIN?

HungerBAD:
Kudos to these hard workers.

Kudos too to the people of Edo State,who did not see this election as a do or die affair.

If it was Rivers State,there would have been plenty of headless bodies now,and Wike's supporters on Nairaland would have come here to justify the violence.

The people in this pictures could walk freely,because there are no ballot box snatchers in Edo State.

For those complaining about this road. There are bad roads in the US,Uk,Lagos and Abuja.

do you know the meaning of omoluabi? are you saying that tinubu is omoluabi? the man that sold the gullible ones among Yoruba to Hausa/fulani for his personal gains? what berfit has tinubu brought to the south west that warrant our support for him. he failed to learn from history and I wish that bubu probe him and jail him. awolowo, mko etc put their trust in Hausa but died a miserable death. am a Yoruba man, yes ojulowo omo Yoruba olopolo pipe! emi kii we akafunwedi eyan idi si niyi ti iru tinubu lo fi ja mo nkan kan niwaju ti emi o. I laughed at Tinubus foolishness because he will surely cried at the end.
Hausa/Fulani rules Presidency, Senate, House of Rep. what else? do you thin that Bubu hate Saraki?

I support anything that will bring TINUBU down!!!

TPAND:
Omoluabi will not rally round Tinubu. He sold us out to the North. He deserves what he is getting.

God bless you

Omenkata:
[b]i saw my mention what a hell is this ?

well being following this stuff and i realize one thing that you cannot win all the time, you win some you loose some that's balance
whats happening to tinubu can happen to anyone.
tinubu's political decision of aligning with the north is not a new thing in Nigeria history and i can tell you that he saw this coming but has no choice since thats the only way to defeat pdp and trust me he'll find his way out of this stuff.
i careless if yoruba stands with tinubu thats none of my business because they made the choice themselves so they also make the decision themselves.

as one dreamer, traitor, attention seeker and inconsequential element called tonyebarcanista the is running around nairaland lately looking for self redemption and also living is self delusion let me tell you one thing tonyebarcanista, inasmuch as i dont like tinubu's personality but tinubu remains no. 2 in the ladder of my political role model do you know why? because of his political stance of believing in himself ,relentless , staying in his dream, remaining focus and his political toughness yes i give it all to tinubu.
my friend tonyebarcanista not everybody especially tinubu will be a political vagabond and a nobody like you . do you think that tinubu who fought pdp for 16 years especially in his darkest moment when obj dealt with him politically will suddenly embrace the same the same party my friend no wonder no one takes you serious again.
tell me you said that tinubu is your role model but have you ever tried to even be 0.001% of your so called role model rather you remain an unstable inconsequential and docile creature who does not even know what he wants.
tinubu i know will rather float a new party that to stoop soo low to your dreams and illusion so i will advice you my good friend tonye to stop deceiving yourself because of 1k recharge card, you are nobody and a political nonentity.
FRIEND i will advice you to get a better job at least to be able to keep you busy or still visit rehab to cure you self delusion [/b]

lmao @tonyebarcanista because the guy knows nothing about Nigeria politics. I always lol each time I read his long epistle

tuale4u:

ADMINSTRATION FILLED WITH INCONPETENT CABINET WILL NEVER WORK!

NGOZI OKONJO IWEALA
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala (born 13 June 1954) is a Nigerian and a highly respected and influential global leader, economist, policy maker and thinker on Finance and Economic Development. She has been listed 5 years consecutively as one of the 100 Most Powerful Women in the World by Forbes Magazine [1] and in 2013 was listed as one of the Most Influential People in the World by TIME Magazine.

She currently chairs the Board of the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) and the African Risk Capacity (ARC). She is also a Senior Adviser at Lazard. Dr. Okonjo-Iweala is renowned as the first female and black candidate to contest for the presidency of the World Bank Group in 2012. [4] Education and personal life Okonjo-Iweala is from Ogwashi-Ukwu, Delta State, where her father Professor Chukwuka Okonjo is the Eze (King) from the Obahai Royal Family of Ogwashi-Ukwu. Okonjo-Iweala was educated at the International School Ibadan and Harvard University , graduating magna cum laude with an AB in Economics in 1976, and earned her PhD in regional economics and development from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1981. She received an International Fellowship from the American Association of University Women (AAUW) that supported her doctoral studies. [5] She is married to Dr. Ikemba Iweala, a neurosurgeon from Umuahia, Abia State, and they have four children. [6] Career Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, at the 2004 Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group Dr. Okonjo-Iweala served twice as Nigeria’s Finance Minister and also as Minister of Foreign Affairs. She was the first female to hold both positions. During her first term as Minister of Finance under President Obasanjo’s Administration, she spearheaded negotiations with the Paris Club of Creditors that led to the wiping out of US$30 billion of Nigeria’s debt, including the outright cancellation of US$18 billion. [7] In 2003 she led efforts to improve Nigeria’s macroeconomic management including the implementation of an oil-price based fiscal rule where revenues accruing above a reference benchmark oil price were saved in a special account, “The Excess Crude Account” which helped to reduce macroeconomic volatility. [8] She also introduced the practice of publishing each state's monthly financial allocation from the Federal Government of Nigeria in the newspapers. This action went a long way in increasing transparency in governance. [9] With the support of the World Bank and the IMF to the Federal Government of Nigeria, she helped build an electronic financial management platform-the Government Integrated Financial Management and Information System (GIFMIS), including the Treasury Single Account (TSA) and the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS), helping to curtail corruption in the process. As at 31 December 2014, the IPPIS platform for example had eliminated 62,893 ghost workers from the system and saved the Nigerian government about $1.25 billion in the process. [10] Dr. Okonjo-Iweala was also instrumental in helping Nigeria obtain its first ever sovereign credit rating (of BB minus) from Fitch Ratings and Standard & Poor's in 2006. [11] Following her first term as Minister of Finance, she returned to the World Bank as a Managing Director in December 2007. Dr. Okonjo-Iweala had also previously spent the first 21 years of her career as a development economist at the World Bank. As Managing Director, she had oversight responsibility for the World Bank’s $81 billion operational portfolio in Africa, South Asia, Europe and Central Asia. [12] Dr. Okonjo-Iweala spearheaded several World Bank initiatives to assist low-income countries during the 2008 – 2009 food crises and later during the financial crisis. In 2010, she was chair of the IDA replenishment, World Bank’s successful drive to raise $49.3 billion in grants and low interest credit for the poorest countries in the world. [13] In 2011, Okonjo-Iweala was reappointed as Minister of Finance in Nigeria with the expanded portfolio of the Coordinating Minister for the Economy by President Goodluck Jonathan . Her legacy includes strengthening Nigeria’s public financial systems, stimulating the housing sector with the establishment of the Nigerian Mortgage Refinance Corporation (NMRC). [14] She also empowered Nigeria’s women and youth with the Growing Girls and Women in Nigeria Programme (GWIN); a gender responsive budgeting system [15] and the highly acclaimed Youth Enterprise with Innovation programme (YouWIN) ; a highly acclaimed programme to support entrepreneurs that created thousands of jobs. [16] This program has been evaluated by the World Bank as one of the most effective programmes of its kind globally. Under her leadership, the National Bureau of Statistics carried out a rebasing exercise; the first in 24 years, which saw Nigeria emerge as the largest economy in Africa. [17] She took a lot of heat, more-so than any other government official for the fuel subsidy removal policy by the Nigerian government which led to protests in January 2012. [18] In May 2016, the new Nigerian administration eventually removed the fuel subsidy after it became apparent that it was unsustainable and inefficient. [19] In September 2015, she joined Lazard as a Senior Advisor[20] and in January 2016 she was appointed Chair of the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI).

[23] In addition, she is a member of numerous boards and advisory groups, including the Rockefeller Foundation, the University of Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government ’s International Advisory Board, the Harvard University Advisory Council, the University of Oxford Martin School’s Advisory Council, the International Commission on Financing Global Education (Chaired by Gordon Brown), the Center for Global Development, [24] the Mercy Corp Global Leadership Council, the Women’s World Banking, Results for Development Institute, the World Economic Forum Young Global Leaders Foundation, the B Team (Co-chaired by Sir Richard Branson), the Commission on the New Climate Economy (co-Chaired by President Felipe Calderon and Lord Nicholas Stern) and the Global Development Network amongst others. Previously, she served as the co-Chair of the Global Partnership for Effective Development Cooperation [25] and Chair of the World Bank’s Development Committee (2004). She was also a member of the International Monetary and Finance Committee of the IMF (2003-2006 and 2011-2015), the United Nations’ Secretary General’s High-Level Panel on the Post-2015 Development Agenda, the Danish-Government- led Commission on Africa, the World Economic Forum Global Leadership Council on Transparency and Corruption, and the renowned Commission on World Growth, led by Nobel Prize winner Professor Michael Spence.

That you should be respectful to people around you,young ,old,people in power,the less privilege,rich,poor

but this thread has nothing to do with issue of respect/disrespect

davtosh:
A tribe in this country lack manners. The fact that you don't like someone's policies and beliefs do not give you the right to curse or abuse him especially when they are old enough to be your father or mother. They claim to be Christians but the Fear of God is no where to be found in their lives. When I read their comments on NL I feel sorry for their lives. May God bless Nigeria and her well wishers. Amen

whats the moral of this long epistle?
