Going by his speed of popularity & the rate & which fellow housemates laugh when he talks, can we say that Hon Patrick Obahiagbon should be re-elected from his constituency? Personally, i am quite impressed by his articulate manner & his choice of vocabulary but a lot of people seem to be discontented by his high-sounding words.

Okah is beginning to gain a lot of popularity & sympathy. This is bad omen for GEJ. Next time, the federal govt will not act b4 thinking well

Senators, Ministers Hijack 524 Jobs In Firs


In an apparent subversion of the recruitment process into the Federal Inland Revenue Service, senators, ministers, members of the House of Representatives and others described as stakeholders submitted 524 names out of the 1,934 employed by the service since last year.

Reputed for her high principles, the chairman of the agency, Mrs. Ifueko Omoigui-Okauru, was said to have initially resisted the imposition of that huge number of job seekers on her, only to succumb later to the weight of persistent pressure from the top public office holders.

Consequently, the candidates of the public office holders got the jobs in one of the nation’s highest paying parastatals without fulfilling such formalities as entry tests or interviews.

A schedule indicating how the positions were to be shared described the 524 applicants as belonging to the ”stakeholders list.”

The FIRS boss, who secured autonomy for the agency a few years ago, following the National Assembly‘s passage of relevant bills, had always insisted that only the best hands would be employed in order to reform the service and raise its profile in terms of revenue collection.

A document our correspondent obtained gave the breakdown of external recruitment into the service as follows: Contract Staff, 45; those omitted from functional test, 5; Pool Staff, 19; and stakeholders list, 524.

”Internal recruitment,” which fell under the first batch, reserved 550 vacancies for ‘ automatic employment‘ while only 98 positions were advertised.

It was learnt that those on the ‘stakeholders list‘ bombarded the FIRS boss, a holder of First Class degree in Accounting from the University of Lagos, with applicants’ names because of the service’s newly improved remuneration package.

Besides, there is growing disenchantment among members of staff over the way the last promotion exercise was conducted in the FIRS.

Some of the workers complained that they were not being promoted as and when due.

The aggrieved employees also claimed that the executive chairman and her team did not implement the stipulated three-year mandatory promotion exercise for officers on Grade Level 7 to 14, which they said contradicted civil service rules. They also complained that the way the promotion examination was marked excited suspicion that some candidates from high places might have been favoured with high marks.

They alleged that the last promotion exercise was marked and reviewed by three committees, thus creating the impression that the final report might have been manipulated.

While a source in the FIRS said the three committees had to sit on the results in order to set new standards, the workers alleged that some people had their marks ”padded because they have access to the management” during the long period of delay in the exercise.

Documentary evidence shows that at the end of the exercise, the FIRS promoted 40 members of staff from Assistant Inspector of Taxes on Grade Level 13 to Chief Inspector of Taxes on Grade Level 14, in spite of declaring 92 actual vacancies and 43 consequential vacancies.

Some senior members of staff who participated in the examination alleged that while they were being denied promotion in spite of their qualifications and the number of years they had spent on a particular level, and passing the promotion examination, the FIRS management was more disposed to giving out such positions to ‘outsiders‘ some of whom came from ”some stakeholders.”

When our correspondent contacted the Head of Corporate Communications of the FIRS, Mr. Valentine Akeredolu, in his office on Thursday, he said that the claim that 524 people were given preferential treatment was untrue and irresponsible, because the FIRS chairman was known to be a stickler for competence.

Akeredolu demanded to be given at least a week to react to the inquiries of our correspondent, insisting that the FIRS would need facts and figures to defend the allegations. He , however, dismissed the claim that some people were deliberately kept in particular positions to pave the way for more vacancies to place newly employed members above them.

He said that when the advertisements were placed in newspapers, some of the members of staff who doubted the exercise refused to partake in it, while those who did and were found to have performed very well in addition to their paper qualifications were promoted.

I think socketworks Ltd should have handled the NDLEA portal.i wonder why they left some toddlers to manage a portal for them.them tink say portal na website?

Lucky that she did the act during Ramadan season when all Muslim faithfuls are repentant. Luckier for Miss Bunmi that this shameful and notorious act was done in South Western Nigeria and not in Northern Nigeria.

Walahi, if to say na for North she do this tin, dem for don declare state of emajensi for about 6 states now.

The girl should be taken to a psychia and thoroughly examined b4 being finally expunged from the university community (and subsequently taken to a rehab to spend the remainder of her life there)

it was great cos i spent most part of it indoor. i didnt go to work.

generally,it was blissful and there was no mistake of eating food accidentally. the only difference is that i had to fight with my thoughts and vain talks.

There is only one Nigerian musician that is recognized internationally (confirmed from the Guiness Book of World Records, 2009)

The man is BONGOS IKWUE (the key vocalist of the Band , Bongos & the Groovies).


Please shun all other suggestions being made. This is the most authentic information on the most popular Nigerian artist (internationally)

Honestly, i see nothing wrong in amending the constitution to allow for the voluntary ownership of handguns cum shotguns in nigeria. a legislation shd be made to allow for all law abiding non-minors (without previous criminal records)to voluntarily own specified range of fire-arms.

Perhaps this will make most of the criminals have a rethink b4 carrying out their nefarious acts.

does Mr Jean think being a presido is all about kissing Mary J, ?

am sure he's hallucinating from excessive consumption of igbo

the policeman won't go scot-free.
there is something in law that they call precedents. in 2005,a policeman shot a bus-driver around Mr Biggs roundabout in Makurdi. the policeman was sentenced to death (and should either be on death row now or must have been executed appropriately),

they can't always get away with it

it's high time the ex-militants justify their 65,000 monthly pay,
they should be re-armed and redeployed to Obudu ranch IMMEDIATELY

na wa 4 these politicians oh,
from a reliable source, an indigenous software company, SocketWorks, is billing only 1.2billion naira for the entire SIM registration process in nigeria,


how come the money com climb by 5billion?

Guys,
this kind of things happen at times, it is very common when you give someone a gift and you later have a rethink of getting it back,
the guvnor dash dem money but him com send boyz to help am collect d money back (dis is a hypothesis anyway)

most of the ppl responding to this abominable acts are no diffrent frm the father,

u guyz dont need to write much in terms of the judgement,

THE MAN SHOULD BE CASTRATED (BY CRUSHING HIS BALLS AND AMPUTATING HIS ORGAN) AND THEN LEFT UNTREATED TILL HE DIES OF INFECTION

SLOW AND PAINFUL DEATH IS THE ONLY WAY THE WORLD CAN FORGIVE HIM

@poster
I wish your hypothesis of a monthly income of 174,000 is close to reality. for some of us dont even earn up to half of that amount in a month.

Note that the marginal propensity to consume ,MPC, of the lower income earner is higher than that of the high income earner. In other words, those that earn low tend to spend a greater proportion of their income than those earning very high.

For instance, Mallam Dankano earns N20,000 a month. Out of this amount he spends N8,000 on feeding;N4,000 on transport, N2,000 on rent, N2,500 on extended family obligations and the rest he saves. This implies that Mallam Dankano saves only 17% of his monthly income.

Now Dr. Mini-Ikensi earns N450,000 a month. He saves N250,000 immediately. He spends N40,000 on feeding;N45,000 on rent; N30,000 on fuel and transport; the rest he spends on other miscellaneous items.

In proportionate terms, Mallam Dankano spends a greater percentage of his income in trying to survive than Dr. Mini-Ikensi.

The low income earners spend more than half of their income on feeding and survival expenses. The higher income earner usually have excess (or idle cash balances) to save or invest.

So Mr Poster, the income of the youths determine their saving or thrift culture.





no mind me, i be economist.

A close look at the pics shows dat the rim and the body are still in a fair shape. I no go mind buy them as scrap oh. perhaps d money will go a long way in assisting our guvnor (rtd)

swglobal is a major software development company in nigeria,africa and asia. it is presently handling projects for the federal govt (e.g. immigration passports), state govts, universities, Neco/Jamb,etc.

any info for recruitment?

I use to feel discouraged reading the Arabic transliteration of the Quran (because I don't understand Arabic).But this write up has re-invigorated my spirit.

Thanks for posting this wonderful and highly inspirational message.

@fugocisse
Wetin concern IBB with Farouk AbdulMutallab?
Abeg, put ur write-up in the right thread.

@Shock
I think you're the most objective contributor on this thread so far. The loud-mouthed Aondokaa should be given his full constitutional rights (which also includes freedom of movement).
If Ag, President feels he has a case to answer,he (aondokaa) should be properly charged to and tried in a court of competent jurisdiction.

Lets not allow our emotions to act without the benefit of our objective mindz.

Guys, pls, u dont need to post this kind of subject heading, it captivates a lot of audience and most of us got disappointed because the content is completely different from the subject. I tot nestle is now recruiting.

What do u expect d mutallabs to say? do u want them to start condemning their own blood @ dis tyme? deep down their minds,they know that their son did wrong. at home,they will condemn d boy.but in public,they hav to stick 2geda as one. much injury has been done to them alredi.they wont want to come out openly to condemn their son.

no wise family will issue a press conference/statement condemning their own blood.never!

i pity d poor boy & his family, let him rot away in jail for being foolish
