If your crush saves your name as free food in her phone contacts list, don't be sad. It could be worse. You could be me, an Arsenal fan.

[b]There is a new but very sad development.....I have decided to discontinue this thread. Some of my reasons are:

1. The thread is becoming bigger than I can manage. It is getting really difficult to reply comments.

2. Although a few good people have also contributed and provided information about current recruitments/replacements, everyone is on my neck for ALL the information.

3. Somehow, I feel terrible that every1 is looking up to me for help yet I can only assist very little.

4. Somehow my identity got blown and I received a mail from a NLer (well known) advising me to quit the thread because not everyone will use the information I am providing for honest purposes. Some1 reported the thread yesterday and it was pulled down, it took the help of the MODs to restore the thread after I called their attention to it (the MODs can testify to this). Why did the person pull down the thread? He was angry cos I didnt state how to get the connections for the jobs and he felt since he doesnt have the connection, the thread was worthless. He called me names and when I reported his post, he pulled down the entire thread. Maybe some of you following this thread noticed this. Another person has sent a mail threatening to publish this thread on a blog in order to address the issue of "illegal/silent recruitments". For these reasons and more, I want to stick to the advise I received and draw the curtains here. I gave little info, they dey threaten me, if I come talk the one wey I see today, I go enter jail be that ooo

5. Just like LastMumu rightly stated, scammers will begin to take advantage of the vulnerable ones on this thread. I won't forgive myself if any1 of you fall a victim to scammers because of this thread. Therefore I beg you guys, any1 that calls or mail you to send money for a job slot is a CRIMINAL & FRAUDSTER. Ask them how they got your number and be very wise at all times. Any1 who really wants to help you will never ask for money or sex before giving you your appointment letter. Please be wise and do not be DESPERATE.

6. My greatest joy however is that I have been able to send a signal to those who care that they can get a FG job even this month if they put in a little more effort. It is very possible! FG jobs are gotten weekly in this country.

7. All those I have promised to send those numbers, I will fulfill that promise rightaway.

8. The next and last thread I will open as regards to FG jobs is the various salary structures thread I promised. I will neither answer questions nor comment on issues not related strictly to salaries alone.

9. An advise to all those whose connections are from Senators/HoR members, hold them really tight this period of budget defence, jobs dey comot well well. I know what I'm saying. Everyone wants their budget to be approved without hassle, so they'll honour just any request
Also sometimes, whether or not an agency is recruiting, e get d kind people wey go send your name wey the DG no go fit reject, they go create position, space and office for you by force. GOD's connection is the greatest sha oooo

10. As long as you are a graduate, you can work in any FG MDA, although being in an agency where your discipline is most relevant guarantees a faster career growth and even enhances your chance of getting to the top most position of that agency.

11. If you have been relying on a particular person/connection/strategy without any fruitful result, please change your approach/strategy.

12. I really wish I could help every1 but I have my limits too........maybe when I become a Senator, I'll do more

13. I sincerely apologize for having to discontinue my comments on this thread. I wish you all truly understand my stance. It is becoming increasingly difficult to share certain info on social media because of bad belle people. I mean well though but some people won't just understand. I know so many people will be disappointed with my action, I beg make una no vex

14. I wish you all the best continued success in this year 2016 and beyond. GOD bless you all

God bless you bro. Been a silent follower of the thread and you've done so much without realising. This thread clearly illustrates what is good and bad about Nigeria all at once. Just as you've tried to wipe away people's tears in your own little way may you never experience disappointment in your life's endeavours. Amen

CNN)Oil prices are plunging fast, and few countries are feeling the pinch more than Nigeria.

Crude prices have fallen by 75%, and Nigeria, Africa's biggest oil producer, is now losing money by pumping it. Just last week, the government announced it's looking to borrow up to $9 billion to plug the gaps in its shrinking finances.

The slump has led to massive cuts in foreign currency, and exchange dealers offering rates much higher than the official 199 naira (₦) per U.S. dollar. Imported goods are quickly becoming unaffordable.

Now, Nigerians are taking to Twitter to bring their economy back from the brink. They're using the hashtags #BuyNaijaToGrowTheNaira and #BuyNigerian to promote local crafts and products, in the hope that it will bring a much-needed boost to the nation's economy.

Championing "Naija" products

To encourage more Nigerians to buy homegrown goods, Twitter users are showcasing everything from "Made in Nigeria" sunglasses to buses and beds.






Promoting Nigerian pride
For some, #BuyNaijaToGrowTheNaira is about being proud of Nigerian brands, and encouraging start up businesses to provide jobs for the young.



While a few have taken to Twitter to complain about the low quality of Nigerian goods compared to imports, others say buying Nigerian goods will eventually lead to better products.



The Nigerian government currently gets 75% of its revenue from the oil sector. It is now planning to invest in infrastructure projects to bring about major economic reform by making the country less dependent on oil.

When all that is impossible has been removed, the remaining however improbable must be the truth’’ – Sherlock Holmes

On the morning of the 22nd of December 2015, Nigerians were glued to their television sets watching their President, Muhammadu Buhari make a presentation of the 2016 budget to a joint session of the National Assembly. At the end of it all, the presentation was applauded by a number of Nigerians as one of the finest hours of Buhari’s seven month old Presidency. But as it is with football, after the applause has died and the last fan has departed, the stadium is left in a mess. And that is exactly what the Buhari led government has left Nigerians with; a mess. At least going by the revelations so far. But first, the genesis.

Many had expected Buhari to hit the ground running immediately after his inauguration, but instead he became subsumed in a befuddling gale of lethargy as epitomised by his questionable decision that constituting a cabinet could wait. A wait the country is finding increasingly arduous to recover from. One would have thought that the circumstance of his coming into power was all the impetus he needed to constitute a competent economic team as well as appoint a substantive Minister of Finance. But no! Instead, as has become custom, Nigerians were suffused with justifications as to why Permanent Secretaries were the best things to have happened to governance in Nigeria, by those Reuben Abati famously described as the “new stars and celebrities who though not necessarily the most educated or knowledgeable, but who populate the social media space with their fast-food type intellectualism”.

This is spite of the fact that the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) was losing billions with each passing week. This was in spite of the fact that jobs were being cut. This was in spite of the fact that instead of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), we were witnessing huge capital flight, since no one except Buhari had the vaguest idea of the economic thrust of his government. This was in spite of the fact that the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) which is a precursor to the budget was constitutionally due in August. This was in spite of the fact that our foreign reserves were dwindling in response to rapidly falling oil prices and a foreign exchange (FX) regime that made sense only to the formulators of our monetary policy.

Eventually, when the Ministers were appointed amidst all the drama that came with it, the disappointment was profound. It was inconceivable that these men and women were the reason why we had lost six months of a semblance of governance. However, we are a people of resilience and so we accepted our fate with a mixture of humility, equanimity and righteous decibel levels of wailing. Isn’t that why in spite of being one of the lowest ranked countries on the Human Development Index and having the worst energy efficiency per capita in the world, Nigerians were adjudged as the happiest people on earth? Nevertheless, our collective expectation of these Ministers was to drive the policy of the new government through their various ministries. Their first major task was the development of an economic blueprint in form of a budget. It turns out that their collective effort is an epic fail.

They failed in colours so fly that Joseph’s famed coat of many colours will go green with envy.

Or how else do you explain the atrocious proposal of N1Billion by the Federal Ministry of Communication Technology for the purchase of chairs and tables? How else do you explain that it was proposed for rents to be paid for the Presidential villa? How do you explain that the Power, Works and Housing Minister proposed to spend N500 million on attending ‘statutory meetings’? How else do you explain that the Minister of Interior proposed to spend an amount 2,500% higher from last year on refurbishing his office? How else do you explain that a Unity School under the Ministry of Education budgeted twenty different unrelated items for the exact same sum of N400, 237? I can go on and on through the dizzying labyrinth of frivolities.

On the surface, it does seem like a genuine arrant display of ineptitude and incompetence. However, on closer scrutiny, what strikes any discerning mind is the fact that this document was deliberately cobbled together as a special purpose vehicle to hoodwink Nigerians and in the process blindly pillage whatever is left of our collective patrimony beyond whatever palliatives medical science or miracle can render. But there is a limit to which Nigerians can be taken for a jolly good ride and this is exactly what galvanized well-meaning Nigerians to condemn the 2016 budget in its entirety. The results are as ubiquitous as they are effective.

First it was the Minister of Education; Adamu Adamu who stated in unambiguous terms that he was unaware of the hidden N10B that was discovered by the NASS members during their review of the budget.

This was followed strangely but not unexpectedly by the Minister of Health; Professor Isaac Adewole who declared a few days ago in very shocking fashion that the figures attributed to his Ministry were not what was submitted by him. He took it to comical heights by asserting that he was going to submit his own version of the budget to the National Assembly; definitely ignorant that the Fiscal Responsibility Act prohibits Ministers from individually handing in their budgets to NASS. Of course, when it comes to repudiation, The Information Minister, Lai Mohammed cannot be outdone. He too refuted his ministry’s budget. As has become custom to the APC led government, they all had a barrage of excuses. This time the icing on the excuse cake was preposterously splashed by the FG in a failed attempt to exonerate itself from the disgrace that is the 2016 budget.

A statement issued by the FG’s spokesman revealed to a bewildered nation, that a budget mafia was responsible for inserting all the frivolous and duplicitous figures in the budget. The devil must be seething with rage at the nerve to tell such blatant lies of elephantine proportions.

From it being missing, to it being withdrawn and only recently being out rightly denied by the very people who put together it’s duplicitous component parts, the 2016 budget has been enmeshed in all shades of hilarity and shown for exactly what it is; a carefully crafted plot to defraud the Nigerian people. If the APC led government is worth the ballot paper through which it was voted into power, the least it should do as a matter of national importance is to summarily withdraw the scandalous document from the National Assembly forthwith. That is the minimum expectation from Nigerians who are still shocked at their effrontery.

In the great words of Sherlock Homes, when all that is impossible has been removed, the remaining however improbable must be the truth. The impossibility that the 2016 wrote itself is already established. It is improbable that Buhari and his Ministers were unaware of what they signed off on. That our national budget has been treated in such a shambolic, scruffy and scornful manner, the only inference that can be drawn from this whole nauseating episode therefore is that Buhari and the government he leads, has shown a contemptible level of irresponsibility and incompetence.

And that is the truth!

CharliParker:
Yes I will like them to become President and vice President. Ndigbo hatred will not lead us anywhere lets face the reality Rochas has all it takes.

oloriooko:
Wike is just busy wasting tax payer money in the name of celebration, this is absolute nonsense

The guy should hit the ground running and stop all this child's play

Governance is serious work and if the guy has genuine intentions to move Rivers forward I think he should wake up from this irrelevant jubilations

pained zombie!

Cool stories...never done online meetups as it's not really my thing. Anyways any intelligent chic that stays in abuja, plays chess AND likes arsenal fc can shoot me a pm!

uselessgoat:
I love the Hausa fulanis. I hope the people of Bayelsa won't regret voting PDP because of their clueless GEJ. When they stop experiencing federal presence in their region, I hope they won't cry marginalisation like the IPOB youths. A word is enough for the wise

your username aptly summarises your personality!

If you read any of the many meaningless statements of APC hacks on NL you'll be forgiven to think they are actually popular meanwhile the opposite is actually the case. What's happening in bayelsa is simply a classic case of the forceful imposition of a rejected candidate by the party at the centre and the struggle by the majority of the people to decide their own destinies

Chamberlain Oguchi is MVP!!!
