How many times has El rufai condemned the killings of Christians or southerners in the North? El rufai is the very tribal bigot.

OneCorner:

Instead of him quoting others and criticizing them, he should first criticize is father first.

Sorry to say, you and all those hating on this intelligently made song are ignorant. His father's profession has nothing to do with him. You remain innocent until proven guilty. Is his father different from Festus kayamo? I even have more respect for Mr. Falana than any other lawyer in Nigeria, as he has shown to be bold, intelligent and fearless in criticizing different govt in power, both past and present.

So just sit down and be reasonable. Or better still, take the message and leave the messenger.

This is the peak of insecurity in Nigeria

I have compiled a list of all the reported killings in the Middle Belt from the first day of the year January 1 - April 25 (yesterday). Please read and also share so everyone can understand the damage. Also, if you have information for Niger State or anything I may have ommitted, let me know.
May God save us all.

Euouae:
Haters!

Same people would have blamed him if girls were not released


Now they so pained that the girls were released


Pure hate

If you don't see any other thing apart from the girls release, then there's nothing to say you...

But at least for once, read between the lines. Everything is not abt party affiliation or love/hate for buhari.


Never forget, karma is a bitch

Mynd44:

If you are parent whose kid has been kidnapped for close to a month, I am very sure you will be too happy to have your child back than ask questions about if the kidnappers were paid or not.

I really dont care if they were paid or whether they were bullied, I am happy children who should not be dragged into this madness have been freed.

Then let the Govt tell us the truth that ransom was paid. Why so they tell lies? Why do they feel over 170 million Nigerians are fools? They are too dishonest. Who knows if all these were not planned from onset

Op, everybody that opposes you is an illiterate to you



I have not seen any valid point that you have made so far.


It's simple, if you feel you like buhari & his style of ruling, then my prayer to you is that may everything that is associated with buhari and his administration be your portion now and forever. Amen

Maybe you didn't get me right. The boys I was referring to were you (buhariguy), sarrki, madridguy, ikpuNnu, Ngenewateva, Omenka and all your BMC crew.

You really need to stop this sycophantic attitude.

buhariguy:
she want to have Free access to the presidency like shepopotamus.

Idiotic pigs of Biafra can help her to have free access in 2019 by voting for her to be your President

Mr President, I have so much sympathy for those who still defend you and you make their job of defending you so hard. Mr President can’t you give them a break? #BuhariMustGo[b][/b]

Sarrki
Madridguy
Buhariguy
Ngene. .. whatever
ikpu something something
Etc.

I feel you guys or boys need to ask for pay rise from BMC nog ltd because the job is not easy as you had planned. I pity you guys/ boys but I'm not sorry for you.

Thank you Flavour

Hello Nigerians, in terms of "SECURITY" what would you score President Buhari (%)?

By Dr. Ugoji Egbujo

Rochas Okorocha is his own enemy. He preaches power  rotation and Igbo presidency in Abuja.  But at home, he wants to keep the Imo governorship in his family’s piggy bank.  He has built more roads than any other governor  in Imo state’s history.  But he is known  outside the state only for puerility and building  of statues. Okorocha  has energy and drive. But he lacks circumspection and sense of  optics.

He let’s his ego and fantasies intrude and tarnish  his industry and  purposefulness. It is true his opponents  have exploited the rich vein of  animosity against Hausa Fulani hegemony.  He wouldn’t be the butt of all these jokes if he were hauling missiles of bigotry at Buhari from  APGA or the PDP. But no other man with his political vulnerability would  arm his opponents like Okorocha.

Okorocha is ambitious.  And that’s not a bad thing. But self confidence that rears its head without self restraint could be more destructive than arrogance.  In small things and in big things, Rochas Okorocha  pays no respect to his audience and its sensibilities. Okorocha wanted to stem the rising tide of narcotics consumption in the state. He chose to compare that evil with armed robbery, needlessly. He got lost in translation. He  ended,  leaving his audience with a moral confusion. The video clips of a governor suggesting that armed robbery was a lesser crime than drug abuse went viral and  accentuated the image of a bumbling clown the virulent  opposition  had created for him. But Okorocha isn’t a clown.

He thinks Imo state is  too small a stage for him. He believes he has  outstanding  abilities. He craves a national or global role.  That’s heart warming. No one wants a shiftless surfeited leader who seeks no promotion and is unmindful of history. But in cobbling a  track record,  Rochas  has deployed a brand of imagination that doesn’t yield to circumspection and doesn’t acknowledge raised eyebrows. A streak of precarious single-mindedness. An abject deprivation of  collegiate thoughtful decision making process.  Rochas is a loose canon.

He builds roads and  lavishes money on pillars that would  be used for Christmas  decorations.  His sister oversees the decorations. He pays more attention to the quantity rather than the quality of roads.  It catches his fancy,  he  mounts a hundred meter high huge hand sculpture somewhere, just somewhere.  Some hospitals have been completed for years but he hasn’t thought of equipping them. So they are locked away.  You can’t fault him for industry.  He is restless.

He thinks of Imo airline. It sounds nice. He gets a plane and hands it to Dana Airline. And Imo is written on it.  He commissions it. That’s all. He thinks the people need to farm. He thinks state civil servants who are owed salaries are idle. He doesn’t retrench. He asks state civil servants to work three days in the office and stay in their farms on Thursdays and Fridays. He ignores raised eyebrows. He is committed to innovation. He is not afraid of trying new things. But many of them quite frankly have been absurd. He gets fed up with the farming experiment, he cancels it overnight.

He thinks the state owes so much in pensions. He thinks he can’t pay it all. He asks owed pensioners to sign away a huge percentage of owed pensions.  He rebuffs questions about the morality of such coercion. His name and  the weird idea spreads around the country. No one hears about the hospitals he has built in all the local government areas in Imo state. No one hears of his free education programmes.  They hear of a certain Rochas who approximates Charlie  Spencer Chaplin.

He looks at  his people, his people.  He sees suffering. He announces a commissioner  for happiness.  Not such a bad idea. But it is his sister again.  His opponents go to town with mockery. Rochas sneers at them  in superciliousness. No one hears that he has tarred the road that runs in front of my ancestral home in Orodo. That road had been promised by every regime since Ochefu and  Atom Kpera.  They all failed. He did it.

Rochas has  done more roads than other governors. But no governor has exhibited more  unbridled self aggrandizement  than Rochas Okorocha. He says he is gifted with the brain of a genius. So he embraces informality and disdains processes.  He is easy going, self effacing. But all people see is greed. No governor  has appointed more relatives into top government positions than Rochas Okorocha.  His son-in-law is Chief of staff. His sister is his deputy chief of staff and commissioner.  The ministerial position allocated to the state came, he gave it to his daughter’s father-in-law.

Rumours that Rochas wanted to perpetuate himself in office sprouted. They sounded so outlandish. Rochas  wants to be the senate president. He would like to be  president of the country and perhaps AU chairman, sometime in the future.  Rochas wants to be an icon like Mandela.  Imo is too small for him. But the rumours now have a foundation. He says his son-in-law must be governor.  He says his in-law is the most qualified for the job.

He can support whomsoever he chooses. And a son-in-law isn’t necessarily disqualified by virtue of whom he married.  He could actually be the most  qualified.  Rochas has worked hard to make his endorsement count. But he is set to be remembered as a power hungry man who is motivated only by self interest. Yes, same Rochas who was once synonymous with generosity and philanthropy.  In a country where democracy and political morality  include power rotations  and quota system, Rochas Okorocha should  let another family try.

He says God ordained it .His family must be filled with the sort of geniuses that aren’t found in other places.  It may actually  not be out of the reach of  his fantasy to create a Kennedy type dynasty. And attribute it to God. Rochas is innovative, ambitious and irrepressible. He needs tact.

If all politicians in Africa thought like Rochas,  then countries  could  all become family corporations. Because without institutions, and without transparency and accountability, any African president  could, with a little  dose of tyranny,  perpetuate his family and generations over his country. If Awolowo and Zik and Sarduana had the sort of imagination that Rochas has,  people like Rochas Okorocha who came from the lowest rungs of the society would never be governors.

I like Rochas Okorocha. I only wish he could once in a while  step out of himself. Perhaps, he  would gain a little self-restraint.

the "ADULT" president that decides to do things when he wants to do them.... by Lauretta Onochie

I thought he never deemed it necessary to visit.

Not worthy to be a president

In as much as I do not like MBuhari style of leadership, I will not support this particular propaganda or Fake news.

Just take a close look at the picture, you will see the people there are Indians (not Nigerians)[b][/b].

We can show we are better than "them" by not acting like " them"

BlackMbakara1:


They are all thieves...

I agree with you on that. So nobody should appear to be holier than thou, or use fighting corruption as an excuse for not doing enough work for the development of Nigeria

BlackMbakara1:
Indirectly he's telling us he stole too...he should be forgiven, but because he's playing opposition.

I thought this man was a saint...

Really, is that all you understood from that simple statement?

You are a genius

Lol... He said you should Yab him & you guys are doing same.
What if he said "go hug transformer" ... Make una no get high BP for this man matter oo

People are entitled to their own believe just as you, ok.
Whether you want to deceive yourself or not, deep down your heart you know that this is not a mere joke. She only passed her message in such manner while others didn't have time for her drama and decided to laugh it off.

omenkaLives:
Too many disgusting and ill brought up kids on this forum nowadays.

A harmless joke between two RICH adults, a joke to which everyone laughed, probably including Dino himself, but out of hate and sheer poverty of the mind, these scoundrels here have taken it upon themselves to curse the lady.

What a pitiable life to lead.

This woman sef . Always looking for trouble where there is none

This present APC-led govt are full of Yahoo Boys. It's so shameful

Why can't we Southerners come together, forget abt our hatred for each other, and look at how we can forge ahead without the Northerners.

This double standard nature of buhari is too glaring.

NB: I intentionally spelt buhari in small letters

This is the link. I also saw it on NTA:

PMB is just a hypocrite

Wow. I will be in this town soon

Ehisjp:


Have you worked with any of the Exxon Mobil group before? Maybe the value you quoted was too heavy

No

Ehisjp:


Personally, I don't think anybody has been called for now. It is obvious that they are still gathering CVs for other positions, which you see from their website. OR maybe the who-know-man Nigerian-syndrome has been employed in the recruitment-process that I can't tell. Let's still keep close-tab on the process sha. Any info keep me in the know.

I was called on July 18 for the Safety Technician position and was asked to quote my salary expectation, which I sent. But since then haven't heard anything from them.

Greetings everyone. Please has anyone in the house received a call recently from Amaiden Energy for the Safety Advisor or Safety Technician job. Maybe we can share updates. Thanks
