afam4eva: They're referring to the general Nigerian accent that's spoken by the educated class of Lagos, PH etc. It's neither of the tribal accents.

cameronese: There is what is called Nigeria English Accent! Educated Nigerians have a particular way of speaking the English Language, It doesn't matter which tribe.

The only tribe that seems unrepentant is the Housa

Ddaji: “The day we stop to talk because of fear of what will be reported, it means this country is dead. My job is not to make people happy. If you are not happy, go to your wife,” he said.



“Salaries and wages are paid not just to civil servants. This is a country where we have 774 local government councils; in each council you have a chairman, a vice chairman and may be 10 councilors.

“Take a state like Kano. Kano used to be one state; it is now Kano and Jigawa; when it was one state, you had one governor, may be nine or 10 commissioners. Now what do you have? That one state has become two states, two governors, two deputy governors, 40 commissioners, and may be 80 legislators, only God knows how many special advisers and assistants.

He said it has become a tradition for the Nigerian media to sensationalise any public comments he made.

On the constitution, he said, “The constitution says there must be a minister from every state. Let me ask, as educated and intelligent human beings, what is the connection between the number of states and ministers? If you have 50 states today, we have 50 ministries, you have 100 states, and you have 100 ministries? What kind of rubbish?”

The CBN governor said he believes government’s role is to take care of the people. “Now if the government is spending 70 percent of its revenue on itself, and 30 percent on the people, is sacking the Central Bank governor the solution? Now they are amending the constitution. Why do we need 500 legislators? And why is it that no Africa country has adopted this model of government?” he queried.

He said Nigeria’s greatest challenge, greater than corruption, lies in the promotion of mediocrity and sectionalism instead of merit.

“What kind of nonsense that a person due for promotion is denied on the basis of no vacancy to be filled from his state of origin? That could be done at the level of recruitment. We have been able to enthrone mediocrity.

“I have always said that the greatest challenge that we have in this country is that we do not give importance to merit. Forget corruption, go to China, they steal money. In Malaysia, there is corruption. They employ people who are qualified and know their job.”

He linked the violence across the country to poor management of the country by leaders. He said the textile industries in Kaduna and Kano used to employ over 600, 000 people but that now that they are out of jobs their children are out of school.

“We talk too much of where is this man from, what church he goes to. Rubbish! Rubbish! Why don’t we ask the right questions? How many megawatts of electricity are we generating? How many kilometers of roads have we built? What percentage of kids passes English and maths in schools in O’ level. We are not compelling the politicians to appoint people who can deliver. And I think, for me, there is a tragedy,” he said.www.dailytrust.com
