Oyibo people call it backhanded compliments.

But Africans wouldn't understand this, would they?

Oyibo people know how to play the mind of Africans like ludo.

The same pat on the back given to a retar.ded kid if he finishes reading a paragraph.

It might not be a big deal to normal kids, but hey! he is retar.ded--every act is heroic.

So, it will not be out of normal to cheer him on. And don't be the one left out when everyone else is clapping because that is not a noble thing

to do. In other words...GEJ, take your incompetent and retard.ed behind back to Otueke. He ruined Nigeria for 6 years.

Good move.

Let him inherit his mess.

GEJ is never a leader. PDP is finally dead and buried.

Spyder880:

Beyond real estate, you are one of the heroes in the country--providing source of livelihood to many families in this era of high unemployment rate. Even though you may not fully understand the impacts of your gesture, it is very remarkable.

May God reward your efforts abundantly.

Spyder and others who can assist with this....I need info on chippings. How much can I buy 30 tons of chipping for my project starting in port harcourt. And where can I buy it?.

With a "very" special arrangement, you can get a full 30T load for N200k.

Ordinarily, I would have ignored an ignoramus like you. But it will be a big disservice to mankind.

It is about time we point out idio:ts like you. Perhaps, by so doing, providence will provide the
much needed cleansing and eradicate you out of this world to create space for more meaningful human beings.

It is very unfair that you continue to exist. What a colossal waste of human resources?!

Sunnybobo3:
This is what you get when contraceptives fail.

So if he uses it to settle part of the state's debt, it's not judicious use.

Product of a failed education system.

He is going to blow through billions of naria to settle debts (based on your unsolicited inference) in the last 10 days of his tenure.

Stop making fool of yourself. You don't need to go to this extra length to prove your idiocy.

Amaechi The Lion That Ate Jonathan!

At the End Of The Day All Your enemies bowed before you for Blessings! No One Can Mock God Indeed, not even 100 Mama Piss!

All the enemies of Corrupt free Nigeria posters above, you shall all bow down like Akpabio and Co for blessings in Jesus Name!

Amaechi My Mentor

/
If all of us have friends like Amaechi, the world would be a better place. The friend that sticks with you even when the odd seems against you unlike the frenemies that abound.

When a lot of Nigerians are against you, it means you are doing something right.

Amaechi is a rare breed. From grass to grace. He that God has blessed, what can mortals do.

Yero remains governor till May 29th and can do anything he wants to do the money as long as it is used judiciously.

Yeah!

Judiciously in 10 days?

You are an idio:t.

Sure, it will keep being a joke to folks like you while she's called for higher responsibility... Hatred will always keep you trailing FAR behind your supposed enemy...and it keeps eating you up as days goes by....

I am very very very comfortable @ my current level.
Anything beyond this is an added advantage.

So...what do I get to gain from standing the truth upside down? Nothing.

Fact is Nigerians do not need a university stacked thousands of miles away to tell them how Ngozi Iweala performed in Nigeria. The people bearing the brunt of her misguided economic policies will beg to differ. But then Africans always cherish awards shoved down their throats especially when it comes from the West. It doesn't make sense for the West to say that GEJ is a colossal failure and at the same time say that his co-coordinating minister is a genius. But then US universities give honorary degrees to donors every year. It is never free.
\

Whynotthetruth:
The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has received an honorary Doctorate degree from Yale University one of the United State of America’s most prestigious institutions of higher learning.

The Minister was awarded a Doctor of Humane Letters at Yale’s 2015 Commencement Ceremony in New Haven, Connecticut Monday. She is the second Nigerian in the university’s 314-year history to receive its highest honour after Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka who received an honorary Doctor of Letters in 1980.

Giving out the award, the President of the University Professor Peter Salovey described Okonjo-Iweala as “a brilliant reformer and dedicated public servant.” He said that Minister “has spearheaded efforts to stabilize and grow Nigeria’s economy, battling widespread government corruption and creating greater fiscal transparency and discipline.”

Yale’s honorary doctorate degree is seen globally as a very important honour. According to the institution “those who have received honorary degree are scholars, public servants, Nobel Prize winners and heads of states.

“Collectively, they represent the aspirations of this institution. Yale honorary degree recipients serve as models of excellence and service to our students, to our graduates, to our community and to the world,” the institution says.

As Finance Minister in 2004, Okonjo-Iweala and the economic team that she led helped Nigeria obtain debt relief, wiping out $30 billion of Paris club debt, leading to a tripling of the growth rates.

The second time around as Finance Minister in 2011, Okonjo-Iweala has focused on building solid foundations and institutions critical for the survival and sustenance of the economy. She bravely fought corruption in governance with fierce dedication and unflagging energy.

Okonjo-Iweala was honored alongside the Chair of the Board of Governors of US Federal Reserve System Janet Yellen, world renowned Beninoise Singer and songwriter Angelique Kidjo, University Professor and founding member of the Institute for Comparative Literature and Society at Columbia University Gayatari Chakravorty Spivak, Professor and Director of the Starr Center for Human Genetics at Rockefeller University Jeffrey Michael
Friedman, Inventors and Entrepreneurs Elon Musk and Dean Kamen, etc.

Yale had in the past honored a handful of other Africans such as Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

That is the thing en vogue.

Young ladies are not smiling.

As a matter of fact, I love it.

CFCfan:
The constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) defines the three ways in which an individual can obtain Nigerian citizenship - namely by birth, registration, and naturalization. Specifically, Chapter 3 sections 25 though 28 lay out in some detail the various situations in which each form of citizenship is attained.

For the purposes of this piece, I'll main focus on the provisions that deal with citizenship by birth, and those which govern the qualifications for president, governors, National Assembly members, and House of Assembly members)

Section 25 (1) states: "The following persons are citizens of Nigeria by birth-namely-
(a) every person born in Nigeria before the date of independence, either of whose parents or any of whose grandparents belongs or belonged to a community indigenous to Nigeria; provided that a person shall not become a citizen of Nigeria by virtue of this section if neither of his parents nor any of his grandparents was born in Nigeria.

(b) every person born in Nigeria after the date of independence either of whose parents or any of whose grandparents is a citizen of Nigeria; and

(c) every person born outside Nigeria either of whose parents is a citizen of Nigeria."

Thus, going by the aforementioned section, even a kid born outside Nigeria to at least one Nigerian parent, is a Nigerian citizen by birth.

With regard to citizenship eligibility to run for both legislative (National Assembly and state HOAs) and executive offices (President and governors), sections 28, 66 (1a), 131, and 177 (a) provide guidance.

Section 28 says: "Subject to the other provisions of this section, a person shall forfeit forthwith his Nigerian citizenship if, not being a citizen of Nigeria by birth, he acquires or retains the citizenship or nationality of a country, other than Nigeria, of which he is not a citizen by birth.

With regard to eligibility for election into the House of Representatives and/or the Senate, Section 66 (1a) states:
"No person shall be qualified for election to the Senate or the House of Representatives if:
(a) subject to the provisions of section 28 of this Constitution, he has voluntarily acquired the citizenship of a country other than Nigeria or, except in such cases as may be prescribed by the National Assembly, has made a declaration of allegiance to such a country; "

With regards to presidential contenders, Section 131 says: "A person shall be qualified for election to the office of the President if -
(a) he is a citizen of Nigeria by birth..."

Citizenship eligibility for the office of governor is contained in Section 177 (a) which states that: "A person shall be qualified for election to the office of Governor of a State if
(a) he is a citizen of Nigeria by birth;"



Therefore, a Nigerian citizen by birth, who has become a naturalized citizen of another country or who holds dual citizenship by birth, fulfills the constitutional citizenship requirement to seek and hold elected office in Nigeria.

/* Very informative. Thanks */

I have a policy. Any midnight call from Nigeria, the number goes into a permanent block list.

People are very inconsiderate.

Just to add some...

1. Electricity:
A roll of cable for wiring supposed to be 100m but they cut out about 20m and repackage it to look like a full roll (very difficult to detect if you don't know about wires). Instead of 10 rolls, you end up using 13 rolls. And don't forget the few yards usually stolen by site electricians when the owner is not watching.


2. Workers:
Stealing! Stealing!! Stealing!!! From electricians to plumbers. They steal materials. And in some case, with the collusion of suppliers, they "overquote" the materials and round trip the extra materials back to the supplier at highly discounted prices. Both supplier and the artisan gain at the expense of the owner. You may think your electrician/plumber is very reasonable with their charges, but they already know that they will make up the difference with the materials they will steal from the site.

3. SUPPLIES:
Trips of sand or stone would come in less than full load sometimes. Usually the lorry driver will hurriedly tip the sand/stone before it could be inspected.

4. CEMENT:
I don't know if it still exists, but the vendors by cement dust and bag it themselves. The bags will come in different weights. The common denominator is that none of the bags is anywhere close to 50kg. This is why delegating construction jobs supervision to a third party is a big gamble. The count may look right, but is the quantity right? I believe this is also partially responsible for the spate of collapsing buildings being witnessed in Nigeria in recent times.

Do you trust her version?

Marriage is not like going on dates.

I can guarantee you that more stuff from her past will continue to unravel.

Some people deserves a whole lot of "leave alone".

Well, unless there is a chronic scarcity of women.

But they can drive boats and cars fabricated in foreign lands in Bayelsa?

ND states are getting the lion shares of the budget. If they cannot hold their governors responsible for their welfare, then they should continue to live in squalor.

I have never heard that ladies take money from their men under gun point. If you cannot afford what she is into, then find someone whose taste is affordable. If what she is doing is intolerable, time will catch up with her. Otherwise, guys should hang their coats where they can reach them.
A guy is only cute and "happening" when he is in the university living off of his parents. Once he graduates, all those shallow attributes go out of the window if he has no positive cash flow. That's when the reality of life sets in. The problem is that some guys do not know when and how to do the much needed transition to manhood. They live under their parents after graduation and spend most of their time on social media blaming ladies for their own laziness.
A well rounded girl will not settle for a loser. Such guys keep hoping they get wealthy in-laws who will give them easy ride. Surprisingly, they will never agree to their sisters marrying losers like themselves.

Better soup, na money kill am. A big shout out to the one and only Oshiomhole. If Oshiomhole's marriage doesn't motivate every guy, I don't know what could.

Some people give their girlfriends N750 recharge cards and accuse them of gold-digging. If a lady is minding her business and a.man approaches her while all indications point that he is not ready to settle down, the dude deserves all the bills thrown at him. What else could he be aiming at? Meaningless relationship? No pay, no play. If you cannot take care of a lady, simple respect yourself.

GEJ is smiling home with billions of dollars.

And the ones falling for his emotional scam are still lining up to buy fuel. But who blames them? All of them are still being fed by their parents.

Ntooor!!!!

That moment when the gateman who was employed to wade off armed robbers planned with armed robbers to rob the tenants. When he found out his game is up, he shared some of the loot and asked for forgiveness even though many tenants were killed in the robbery operations.

Then the remaining tenants say that he is a hero bc he has shown remorse unlike other armed robbers like Anini, Shina Rambo, et al. Some even said that his apology is a sign of humility. The lives lost, the money stolen and breach of trust should not matter anymore because he is a good man. SMH.

This is the same scenario that played out in GEJ's government. People forget that scammers are the most humble looking people in the world else there will be no victims. Scam is based on trust and subsequent breach of that trust.

Nigerians deserve the kind of leaders they have been getting.

Who cares?

As long as after all the garagara, they still go and queue up for fuel. When they finally graduate, they carry their CVs down everywhere out of frustration like everyone else. Cult is for weak and girly men seeking protection.
It is an outcome of bandwagon effect.

There are people cult-members don't mess with. If you think you are tough, be that guy.
/

/
It is disheartening that the only two options a State has for her residents are prostitution and cultism. Remarkably, the choice is based on gender.

On a second thought, how is this my problem? Some people are born losers.

Poor designs.

omenka:
I don't know... Although I see a lot of folks using the line - what did he do for his people?- I don't quite subscribe to that argument.

Mr Jonathan was voted as the president of Nigeria, his people are Nigerians, and his domain encapsulates the entire landmass of Nigeria and her maritime boundary and not a particular section of the country. If he failed "his people", then it is Nigerians he failed, and if he does well to his people, it is still the generality of Nigerians that would enjoy the goodies.

My dad told me something once. He said "power rotation is rotation of corruption", and he is so damn right. Think about it, should all zones receive equal treatment and attention from whoever it is that occupies the center, who would have time or care a hoot agitation for power?? That is why ironically, I sort of say it is rather commendable for a guy in Nigerian polity if he is being vilified by people that "he did nothing for his people. It somewhat shows he's not ethnocentric.

Only problem is when everybody complains he did nothing for them. It simply means all he did, he did for himself and himself only.

/
Good observation.

But he had money to build almajiri schools in the North, but none to deliver common electricity to his town or to build federal roads in the SS. People cry against marginalization because they feel that their interests are not being protected at the center. When a son-of-the-soil holds all the aces and couldn't protect the interests of his constituency to bridge many years of lopsided development, then it becomes height of carelessness and naivety.
