I do not expect any good reaction from Adamu Ciroma. I even wonder why Buhari has nor nominated him because that is norm; recycling The fact remains that Amaechi is not the only qualified person in Rivers state. Amaechi may not be confirmed due to corruption allegation. It is a fallacy to say the state can do without ministers, there are better people In a proper democracy, the governor suppose to have a hand in the nomination of his states minister. Buhari is only being autocratic, thinking he knows all the solution to the problems of Nigeria. Check out the allegations against Buhari after IBB coup that ousted him. Today he remains thee same, no change I don't know why the governor's forum are weak and swallow buhari autocratism line and stinker. May be that is why a pupet is made their chairman

So who are the better qualified people from rivers state
Mama peace or who. So it is the PDP in rivers state that will select who buhari will appoint? I laugh in Spanish

ndcide:
Our issues with Amaechi is based on corruption.

Not what the APC want the world to believe.

No bruv, your issue is that you guys want to mock and laugh amaechi before the whole world if he does not become a minister like you mocked him when he was not picked as VP or given the SGF role.

Its not based on any corruption at all

hope pdp will not come again and say they discovered him two years ago to replace NOI.

HzRF:
While Fashola did the needful return to jagaban nd clear issue with him
While fayemi nd fayose reach compromise
While lai upon his penchant for telling lies that devil won't fathom in decades lobby Saraki whom he hate
While ngige secured support those he once called "Abuja harlots" etc

Amaechi was busy forming king Kong he thinks he d latest version nothing can do him even Obama do lobby


He will be denied that ministerial post if he refuses to use his head and u know what the rivers people hate him and so they won't be pained at all

the likes of saraki, jagaban, even fayose are not playing bitter politics like wike simple. we truly sympathize with you guys

CharlesPhc:
I don't think Adamu Chiroma that I know would condescend so low in making such undignified statement against the good people of Rivers State but if he did, then I wish to inquire from him if Amaechi is the only indigene of Rivers State that is capable of being a Minister of the FRN under PMB.

what he is trying to say is that it is the President who picks his minister just like wike picks his commissioners simple. Rivers cannot decide for the President, is that too difficult to understand?

These rivers guys are just entertaining us for free kotinu, at least no one can blame PMB for this one o

TheShopKeeper:
If the press release is true, then the Senators are the most laziest set of law-makers in the world.

true talk, I know that those guys cannot last for three days straight especially with the way some of them were yawning and dozing yesterday, even if there are issues with one or two nominees, why not screen others. Lazy bunch

saraki has his day in court next week, how will they do it?

WIZGUY69:
I know!
FFK is just a confused attention seeking guy.
he just want to be in the news all the time.
but unfortunately, he's not holding any political post now. give FFK food and he will dance to your music - obj.
but as for KANU, he's putting His people in jeopardy, I can bet it that ojuku's Biafra movement will be successful than his. why will someone be in another country and be leading a movement.

my brother, they know what they want, by time the kanu guy must have bought personal properties in some of those choice countries he has been visiting in recent times, that will be the end of the biafra struggle, ffk needs an appointment urgently even if it is PA to Buhari's daughter and he will be fine, man must wack jare

chernest2002:
Ffk have said what I knew since the time of abacha. Every nation is moving forward but Nigeria is backwards and we are not even equal people, Nigeria have born to rule, born to be ruled and slaves. And many are still ignorant of their condition. Is a shame they don't see Ffk as saying the truth but Ffk will live long, he have been at the top and sees what many will never see in their life time. Wake up my people.

if ffk, has said all these when he was minister, folks will take him more serious, he just want something from PMB even if it is to replace Lai mohammed aa APC spokesman, that's all, its all about food mehn, man must wack

Beremx:
All these wailers agitating for secession,why didn't they cry for it when Jonathan was President?

they just want attention from PMB, they day PMB will invite all of them to aso rock, they will calm down, its just about getting attention, afenifere seems to be lost in the cold just because PMB no send them, that's why they want to secede, as if falae was the first yoruba man to be kidnapped.

I just want my igbo peeps to know this as i always tell my igbo friends too, a yoruba man may be lazy or whatever you feel as your opinion but never threaten a yoruba man in his territory or try to compete with the ownership of his domain, why? he will fight with you with everything he's got. A yoruba man will never be a coward when it comes to the ownership of his domain.

I have this landlord who is very gentle and tries to always run from trouble, he lives in the UK and hardly comes home , he is so liberal but anything that has to do with his property is a no go area for any human being, he is ready to take the next available flight from the uk back to nigeria to defend any trespass on his domain at any given time and the fury you will see in his face will make you wonder whether is the same cool and gentle man you know earlier, that is a yoruba man for you.

The igbos have been daring the sw leaders for some time now, no thanks especially to GEJ's crazy politicking, very soon sw governors will soon be rolling out policies to counter these threats, no thanks to the mis behaviour of our se brothers. ambode's commissioners list with no igbo person despite their population in lagos is a signal, some sw governors are beginning to make it mandatory to present tax clearance or state ids or residential ids before you can now enjoy free services from public hospitals and schools, more of this will follow. At times we Nigerians misuse opportunities and privilieges

guys are just taking alibaba's humility for granted, I have interacted with alibaba on three occasions and i can tell you, he is a rare gem, the fact that he allows other comedians grow on his platform does not mean he should be taken as a fool, none of these comedians can boast of the network that alibaba has. Look at his radio program on nigerian info, it has become a platform for others to grow in their career, most times he is not even in the studio to present by himself but allows others to do it, I know a regular caller on his program who has also join them in presenting the program, that is alibaba for you, allowing others to grow which is so rare to find in most nigerians now.

Am so disappointed in helen paul if this is true, you don't castigate those who paved the way for you but of course this is Nigeria where we don't really respect ourselves

Some guys are so funny, so they think pdp will be the one to decide and confirm ministers for an APC ruling govt? even the pdp members would have been amazed to see apc alllow them [pdp] to decide who becomes their ministers.

what a cheap blackmail

meforyou1:
All these people saying the nominees are giving the senators lectures, what exactly do u mean? Those are distinguished senators and decorum is their watchword.
Or do you want to witness British parliamentary style where even if the prime is speaking, back benchers will stand up and shout him down?

It has to do with the quality of questions the senators are asking, only few senators are asking very relevant questions, others are just opening the hurts of yesteryears

Truth be told, we have had three lecturers so far fashola , fayemi and Kemi adeosun, they make our senators look like year one students

chuksmad:
Hypocrite, now it is Fashola, you are trying to defend him, but in Odua's case, all yorubas in the forum want her prosecuted. This is the height of hypocrisy.

Una don come again with una tribe issue, I thought odua is one of those screening Fashola, who touch am? I also saw odua's people asking Fashola about the website palaver so who is the hypocrite here, am really enjoying your comedy o,

meforyou1:
Fashola has apologised again for the deportation of igbos. If he likes, let him apologise 100 times, we will never forgive him

I can only imagine if you were God, this world would not be existing sef

GMan650:
Most of the questions from these Senators sef dey amaze me, why dem go dey aask questions abt the past. He's nt going to be Minister of Lagos for goodness sake he's nominated for the Minister of The Federal Republic. Why not ask him questions of what he'll do and how he's planning to execute them within the period of tenure? Kudos to d senator that asked him 'How they plan to end BH insurgency'

the senators sabi anything, they just want to hear stories, simple anyway they know the guy is more than competent so why bother

meforyou1:
so, if he doesn't sign cheque, then he doesn't know how much it costs to build website or drill borehole?
A direct question deserves a direct answer

it means you should go and find out who signed the cheque and ask him why he approved the money for the borehole or website, what can be more direct than that. You guys are really cracking me up lol

Leyemoshood:
all the senators asking questions acknowledged the fact that he was a successful governor during his time

that is the bottom line bruv

nerodenero:
Just like Fayemi never answered directly the government house issue, BRF never answered directly the borehole and website issue. Smart men .

There is petrol on your body already and you want to give your enemy a match box, does that make sense? lol

meforyou1:
Fashola didn't answer the first question by Abaribe. Did he use 72 million naira to build website? Did he drill 320 million naira borehole?

Fashola said he doesn't sign cheques, so what do you think is the answer, if you can't infer then am sorry, I can't help you

obailala:
Fashola is schooling the Nigerian Senate, and they are all listening aptly. A very quiet chamber indeed!

fayemi was their lecturer yesterday, today is Fashola's turn, you wan try

So a Governor in the Federal republic of Nigeria believes that a man who jumped bail in the Uk was harassed to this untimely death.

Nigeria is on a long thing thing o, if this can be coming from a Governor, so if God forbid PMB goes now, will APC be right to say that Fayose, Metuh and Aribisala harassed him to his death? especially with all what Fayose was doing before the elections or if God forbids Amaechi goes, will Amaechi supporters be right to say that Wike harassed him to kick the bucket?

We need to re-examine our heads in this country

ghettodreamz:
Interesting and quite impressive intro.

She is so expressive. Not like many of our today girls who had little or nothing upstairs except their fake beauty.

you are talking about a special adviser to the UN sec Gen, no be beans o

Onegai:
The canal. There's even a bridge connecting 4th avenue to 6th avenue. There's water and it would be the smartest way to get out of Festac (Ojo, Badagry and Apapa). If Nigeria was sensible, the police would have radioed the Navy to ask their patrol boats to look for any flying boats with young man and stop and search, even a helicopter can give aerial tracking... buhhhhh this is. Nigeria. we are. talking about...the easy stuff we cannot get right yet we are shouting and making noise about being some. silly giant of Africa blah blah

e tire me o, there are naval guys in NIMASA, kirikiri phase 2 very close to mile 2 who can help out in this search you are talking aboout but the problem remains that our security agencies do not collaborate that much, the naval guys will even have to wait to get a command from their bosses in abuja before they can even attempt anything, so sad.

I though the tweet by Oliseh was from an impostor until I saw it all over the media, I think we all should come terms with the kind of coach we have for now. let's leave him and judge him later by the results that will keep coming in.

safarigirl:
As far as the defence goes, Musa Mohammed and Wilfred Ndidi can take the RB and CD positions respectively. The attack, we'll need Victor Moses back to partner Simon Moses with Ighalo taking Emenike's position. Will be nice to have Iheanacho between Mikel and Onazi as an AM in a 4-3-3 formation. He should offer a striking option outside the forward 3

I doubt victor moses will ever be invited to the national team again especially with the way the other moses [simon moses] is playing, Oliseh does not forgive folks easily, he won't take victor moses snub lightly just like the way he handled enyeama's snub of the tanzanian game where oliseh felt ikeme is now a better option. Let's just leave Oliseh with his choices and judge him later. Am not even sure Olishe is convinced with Ighalo.

Yujin:
In the North the Gbagyis are among the largest minority tribes. The own more than 85% of Abuja. They can be found in Kaduna, Niger and Nassarawa states. Its unfortunate that they where balkanized into many states and have been effectively rendered powerless. I really pity them. Its easier for the camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for them to be granted the request contained in this thread. Its a matter of time before they would be marked out for extermination. You can save this comment of mine for reference purpose in the future.

And to think that IBB is of that ethnicity makes it very sad mhen. The man who finally made FCT as Nigeria's capital. One day go be one day sha, water go find e level. Those guys will fight back for their heritage

I really feel sorry for PDP, they are trying very hard to remain sensible in the eyes of Nigerians but the more they try, the more they look like the defuct NRC or SDP.

razid:
I actually wanted to refrain from commenting on this ministerial list brouhaha. Sometimes we forget history so soon. Just like Saraki, Amaechi belongs to the caucus of nPDP in APC. Not only that, have we also forgotten that Saraki handed over the NGF chairmanship to Amaechi. Sometimes before Saraki withdrew from running for the presidency in 2011 PDP primaries, it was rumoured that he wanted to choose Amaechi as his vice.

So I've always laughed when I see people thinking that Saraki's Senate will be the one to turn against Amaechi. How are we sure that Amaechi didn't have a hand in Saraki's senate presidency coming from the same caucus in the party? Therefore, sometimes one need to be wary of interfering in the affairs of these politicians. Aregbesola almost lost his life during his tussle with Oyinlola in Osun State. Right now, the two of them are in the same party and according to some sources, Aregbesola is even in support of him as a ministerial candidate from Osun. My point is we shouldn't stress ourselves much on these politicians. They know how to deal with themselves.

You have a clear understanding of how Nigerian politics work unlike many ignorant folks in this forum. Oyinlola is a done deal due to the role he and adeleke played in aregbesola reelection as governor, adeleke is now in the senate while oyinlola will be made a minister. That was their agreement.
