Regardless of the party in government, the actions of the service will always raise political debates

NGpatriot:
Naive Nigerians and their false and flawed sense of entitlement, so, you really expect intelligent agencies and bodies to reveal to you operational details and methods per intelligence operations?

Do you people really think this is your typical village police operations?

Obviously, other countries and their intelligence networks and methods of intelligence gathering operations are involved so such dealings are classified, hence vagueness and lack of details..

In the US we you borrowed demicracy from, such info is only given to select committee on intellince, not to the general public..

Top rambling and find something better to do, they don't owe you anything..

Haff mercy na

gawu1:

The reasoning of most of you sympathizers of that terrorist is not adding up anything. You said he was probably drugged and then kidnapped into the country in order to find way of killing him. Thus,
If those are what happened, what makes you think the government agents wouldn't have just eliminated him where they picked him like house rate but would instead suffer themselves smuggling him into the country.
At least, that's an easier option; no waiting of resources and energy and drawing of attention. The news would have been that he was found dead somewhere outside the country, probably poison by some rival group or so.
Nonetheless, these speculations are imaginable and expected because the rest became unmaginable and unexpected.

Do you mind conspiracy theorists. They blame government of using propaganda but that is exactly same tool they are using, they ensure they flood every available news channel with falsehood and continue to spin it until it looks like the truth

Im an introvert, smart and easy to relate with. I love learning new things
Im looking out for decent and cool headed friends(Male or female) based in surulere/yaba. We can always hangout, get to gist, add value to one another. I want friends who are working or have a legitimate business.

lol

ola6:
We would not allow outsiders decide our political destiny in the SW or and Yoruba states.

I am against this. Everyone should be allowed to vote for whoever they want. This is wrong and we should all condemn it

Salvador1:
Are you in Lagos or you have people in Lagos that want to vote in Anambra state on Saturday? There are free buses on Thursday and Friday.

Send your name and phone number by SMS or WhatsApp only, to 0708 389 0884.

You must show your PVC before boarding.

Vote for PDP for good governance.

Please circulate

Please is this vote buying ?

LibertyRep:
The fault is solely for those who allowed APM members who are entirely of a different political party into the rally of APC. You can't be loyal to two parties at the same time. That's hypocrisy like Aregbesola called it.

Exactly, it's like allowing a PDP rally to be filled with APC supporters and then the APC supporters insist that you must endorse their own candidate (APC). A lot of things went wrong in the planning and execution of the Ogun rally. Some Nigerians are just selfish and will want to impose their will on others

fonzie2u:
buhari should retire, we dont need him

Simply vote against him. But if he wins then respect the decision of the majority

meccuno:
[s][/s] all these creativity to achieve what ??

Is it your creativity

savagery

Charmingrascal:
Oga where were you during PDP's rule? Were you still crawling then?

highcollide:
Atiku dey press their mumu button. Only the legislative arm can restructure the country.

Very true, a lot of things in our current system are defective, but it takes more than one person saying he will change them to correct these things. Most of these things have constitutional backing and require the NASS and states to approve them before they can be changed.
I wish he can be more specific about his idea of restructuring

donprinyo:
Voting anyone other than Atiku is indirectly voting for Buhari. We have test Bubu and he failed woefully. Nigerians let's test Atiku. They said he's a thief and up till today we have not seen any evidence. APC has failed in every ramifications, all dere promises de failed. F9. Don't waste ur vote, vote wisely, vote for de future of Nigeria, Vote for true federalism, vote for the future of your kids, vote for Atiku. Be Atikulated today. NB. Nobody influenced me, it's my best choice for now. Anybody other dan Bubu is beta, even de worst governor is beta dan buhari. Thank you.

Nice one. So if no one influenced you , why not allow others make their own choice.

tomakint:
This is how you know a useless President with no reasonable way out to Nigeria's problem. As for Obasanjo, I do not pity him. It shall never be well with those who forced Buhari on innocent Nigerians.

Last time i checked GEJ/PDP lost the last election, Obj or anyone never forced APC on Nigerians. APC lost in some states if you can remember. I dnt why some of us refuse to get that election is about who has the highest number of voters. Places where GEJ won, were the pple there forced to vote for him? Pple there simply voted for him because they preferred him. Come 2019 Nigerians have a right to vote for any party or person, so the issue of force does not arise. We only need to sell our candidates well and make alignments that can aid our causes.

Deltayankeeboi:
lol not only is buhari mad and dull, he is also a joke i swear. how can the national government instead of prosecuting their supposed corrupt looters, are confidently displaying their names for the already embittered citizens to see. are the citizens to arrest them? If buhari and his retar.ded followers could spend as much time as they spent to produce this rubbish list on the interest and welfare of nigeria and her people, our economy d'be 1 million times better than the past 3 years they have been in power and idle.
I wonder how many days or months it took the re.tards to produce this nonsense
#my brothers and sisters lets join our hands together and send this dullard we have as a president back to daura so he can lead his cows over there. he is not fit to lead us nigerians. we were all deceived three years ago but come 2019 we can send them back to the pit of hell where they reared their ugly heads out from
#sayno to buhari 2019
#the journey to daura starts now
#PVC
#like if you agree

Oga u were not deceived in 2015... i dnt know why pple who never voted for APC in 2015 come out and spin this we were deceived in 2015 narrative ... please vote for who ever you feel is competent and hope he gets the required number of votes. Calling pple names because they dont share ur views and believes tells a lot about ur values and how democratic you are. You guys dnt jst get it, i hope Buhari wins in 2019 cos i want to see what u guys will do sef...

ght95:
honestly mehn the salary structure was just disappointing. All those here saying after probation it will get better and all you guys should read the reviews on glass door. Literally everyone was complaining about the salary. Even if jobberman came into play it's a multi national company and should have standards as such. Me I was offered 80k for billing of which tax and others will still be deducted.. I happily turned it now. people should not just settle for less out of desperation. In the long run they would just over work u and out of frustration u might even want to quit. 80k for such demanding hours smh

Well said, I admire your courage.

tokuns:


There is something you need to understand, the role of TSE has different levels, when a customer have an issue, the first contacts are the level 1 engineers, if they can't resolve it, they escalate to level 2 engineers who have more experience and if these level 2 engineers too can't resolve the issue, they escalate to level 3 engineers who are subject matter experts. So they are all called TSE but with different levels, so tell me do you expect them all to receive the same salary?

The email even though is supposed to be a confidential one explains the rationale behind the variation in salary rate offered you guys. Salary rate abroad is not small for employees doing the same job function. Pay is a function of your prior experience and what the company feels you will be bringing on board. Nigerians are just used to this entitlement mind-set, anyone who feels he/she deserves more should simply turn down the offer and continue to do what he/she is doing currently.
I expect you guys to start reading and developing skills in cloud computing instead of focusing on the salary issue. Im sure some those complaining now don't even earn up to 100k currently. What you guys need now is to start improving on your people management skills remember you wont be dealing with Nigerians, work on how to comprehend and accurately interpret issues.
Above all, be open-minded , be willing to learn and throw yourself at being the best in your team. Also remember environment like this team work is the key, success isnt when you are making your KPIs, success is when your team is achieving your KPI.
I wish you guys best of luck as you start this new journey.
See you at the top.

Note: anybody who shares information regarding the test here is reducing his or her chances.

500 persons were shortlisted and they are looking to hire 200. share information at your peril.

Everybody should go for the assessment just like every other person, If you merit it, you get it, simple. we do not have to cut corners for everything.

This is very wrong of you. Typical selfish african mentality. I wish you the best in life

desreek9:
Most persons above didnt bother to read the article to know the genesis of how the money got missing. I will not be bias, it all points to OKE and this money has been missing right from GEJ administration.

Oke was given the said amount by GEJ but didnt deposit it into NIA account, please always read up before accusing and insulting anyone.


MODIFIED;

I am not pro any administration at all, i expect most of you to read and digest before quoting me and typing rubbish,

GEJ gave Oke that amount for watever reasons which i believe shouldnt be disclosed to the public cos it's NIA, definitely Oke diverted the money then if not it would have been recorded and this administration would have seen it.
DO NOT BE CLOUDED WITH SENTIMENTS WHEN CASTIGATING ANY ADMINISTRATION, COMMEND AND CONDEMN WHEN DUE PLEASE.

Many Nigerians are so intellectually lazy and can not read and comprehend write-ups. Jst allow them enjoy the noise on nairaland

By TonyeBarcanista


On November 4, 2017 the Presidency released names of 157 (wrongly calculated 159) political appointees appointed by the President with aim of dispelling a previous report that 80% appointees are from the Northern part of the country. 

After going through the list I realise that the aim of Mr Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser (media) that released the list was not to inform but to deceive and manipulate the minds of many Nigerians into believing that the government is non sectional. This writeup is meant to bring to fore the hidden fact about the sectionalism of President Muhammadu Buhari led government.

QUALITY VS QUANTITY:
Every exposed mind know that the President of the United States of America, President of Russia Federation, Chancellor of Germany, Prime Minister of Britain, President of France and even Prime Minister of Canada  are never considered as equivalent or equal to a President of any African country (Egypt, Nigeria, South Africa etc), South and Central America countries or Eastern European countries, though they are all Presidents/Head of Governments of sovereign countries. In fact, this classification is evident in the 15 member United Nations Security Council UNSC, where 5 Permanent members (United States of America, Russia, China, France and United Kingdom) have the final say in ANY resolution that affects the body over the other 10 members (temporary). The UNSC is the most powerful organ of the United Nations.

Similarly, in Nigeria's public service, not all ministries, departments and agencies are considered 'equal' or equivalent. The ministers of Defence, Interior, Works/Power/Housing, Justice/AGF and Petroleum resources are not in the same class with ministers of Trade/Investment, Science/Technology, Sport/Youth development, Tourism and Women Affairs, though all are 'ministers' in the cabinet. This is same way the Group Managing Director of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) cannot be said to be in same class with someone in charge of Nigeria  Christian Pilgrimage Board. 


What is traditional in Nigeria is that QUALITY is factored when fairness in appointment is analysed over QUANTITY (just like in anywhere else).

In fact, I remember in February 2010 when the newly appointed acting President Goodluck Jonathan tookover, he "demoted" the then Attorney General/Minister of Justice Michael Aaondooka to Minister of Special duties, and "upgraded" Mrs Alison Diezani Madueke from Transport minister to Petroleum Minister. Only the insincere minds will disagree with me on this.


FACT ON BUHARI'S SECTIONAL APPOINTMENTS
When some of us accuse the President of being sectional in his appointment, we are simply saying the President only appoint his kinsmen in KEY/INFLUENTIAL/QUALITY positions to dominate key sectors without recourse to the Federal Character Commission. In fact, even the Federal Character Commission has no federal character- else how would a President from the Northwest appoint Alhaji Shettima Abba and Mohammed Tukur from Northeast as Chairman and Secretary of FCC respectively?

A look at the Presidency shows clear act of ethnic/regional supremacism of the President. Apart from Vice President Yemi Osinbajo who is from the Southwest and was elected alongside Buhari, the other TWO top positions are occupied by the Northeast. I mean the influential office of Chief of Staff that is occupied by Abba Kyari and Secretary to the Government of the Federation occupied by Mustapha Boss, both of the Northeast.

In the Defence/Military sector, the only positions given the south are the ceremonial Chief of Defence Staff (Abayomi Olonisakin from the Southwest) and Chief of Naval Staff (SouthSouth).  The others were given to the North.

Buhari appointed General Babagana Monguno from the Northeast as National Security Adviser (NSA), Tukur Buratai from Northeast as Chief of Army Staff and Sadiq Abubakar from the same Northeast as Chief of Air Staff. This is in addition to himself from Northwest as Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces, Dan Ali from the Northwest (Kano) as minister of Defence, Monday Morgan from Northcentral as Chief Defence Intelligence and Brigadier-General Musa Yusuf as Commander Brigade of Guard. In fact, he left NOTHING for the Southeast. If this isn't lopsided then someone need to enrol for English class.

In the internal security, the President was more brutal in his lopsidedness than he was in the Defence. 

The Interior Minister, who's the boss of all is Dr. Abdulrahman Dambazzau from Northwest, the Inspector General of Police is Ibrahim Idris from Niger state (North central), the Comptroller-General of Prison is Ahmed Jafaru from Kebbi (Northwest), Immigration is Mohammed Babadende from Jigawa (Northwest) and Abdullahi Muhammadu from North central heads Civil Defence. No paramilitary agency under the Interior is headed by a non-northerner.

Despite the above, Buhari still appointed Northerners as EFCC Boss (Ibrahim Magu from Northeast), DSS Boss (Lawal Daura from Katsina Northwest) and Custom Boss (Hameed Ali from Northwest).

Furthermore, Buhari craftily ensured  that the Petroleum sector, which is Nigeria main revenue sector is in the grip of the North. This he did by appointing himself from the Northwest as Honourable Minister and Maikanti Baru from Northeast as GMD. He trickishly gave Dr Ibe Kachukwu from SouthSouth the position of minister of state, an office everyone know is synonymous to minister without portfolio.

Even within the NNPC there are 7 Chief operating Officers, and of the 7, Northwest occupies 3, northcentral 1, while the southwest,southeast and SouthSouth have 1 each. Despite this, he still appointed Bello Gusau from North central as Executive Secretary PTDF, Isiaka Abdulrasak from North central as Chief Financial officer of NNPC and Modicai Ladan from same North central as Director, Department for Petroleum Resources. I dare not forget that the Head of Petroleum Product Pricing and Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) is Abdukkadir Umar.

In FAAN, Baba Appointed Saleh Danjuma from Northeast Managing director/CEO and still appointed 3 Executive Directors from Northwest alone while the Southwest, Southeast and SouthSouth have 1 ED each.

I am certain that readers will be bored if I am to write extensively on the lopsidedness in appointment in all KEY sectors of the country.

I find it absurd that Femi Adesina will lump every appointees into one as if they are of same worth, influence, value and weight. If not to deceive how would Mr Femi lump the appointment of National Security Adviser, SGF, Chief of Staff, COAS with Registrar CAC, Senior Special Assistant (Diaspora), Senior Special Assistant (National Assembly), SA Economy, MD BOA into one category?

I am ending this piece by calling on the president to take a cue from the late Umaru Musa Yar'adua, his kinsman from the same Katsina state who never allowed tribal and religious affiliation overshadow his sense of judgement. If he feels too big to learn from Yar'adua, then he should learn from the late nationalist Aminu Kano.

Dear sir,
I have never been a fan of your articles, because they are usually not filled with distorted facts engineered to suit your opinion. I was not expecting anything different when i saw this.
Your argument of Quality vs Quantity holds no water, The USA that operates this seniority in Cabinet positions is in relation to Precedence to presidency and not financial (size of the ministry's budget) as we easy tag it to be in Nigeria. If your motive is to serve the nation then you should'nt bother about the size of the budget of the ministry you are appointed to serve, you should be able to serve and deliver good governance irrespective of the name of the office.
Also saying the office of the Chief of Defense staff is a ceremonial position shows another big sign that the writer is not grounded. The CDS is equivalent to the Chairman of Joint chiefs of Staff in US. Every military decision is run through the CDS.
Please always get the facts in order as much as possible, cos incorrect facts makes your write-up appear unserious.

Bolustical:
I have always known Tonye to be a pseudo intelligent person and I must say that I am not disappointed by this writeup.

The positions of SGF and CoStaff are very sensitive and thus must be occupied with confidantes, people whom you share the same ideologies with, and in the case of Nigeria, someone who understands and perfectly speaks your native language. In fact, these two people are like your families and your safety is in their hands.

So, how on earth did you expect the President to go for an Ijaw, Ekiti or Mbaise man for such positions? Even your brother, I mean the fisherman from Otuoke, Chief of Staff/SGF were all from the south.

Remember, after Mike Oghadome( Chief of Staff) , GEJ replaced him with another southerner, Arogbofa?

Despite all these, I never saw any of your write-ups.

TonyeBarcanista, you're one of the reasons why I don't believe that Nigerian youths are ready for governance.

I'm so sure by the time you become a governor, Nigerians will know Yahaya Bello and Dino were heroes.

Please have mercy on him.

Did you apply for any job wit the company. That address though is a red flag, i saw a thread here on NL mentioning that address. https://www.nairaland.com/3072761/xr-consult-recruiting. Please do some vetting before you go. Personally i think it is not a legit vacancy or might be a network marketing role

comshots:
The American soldiers don't use their code names to harass citizens or agitators like the Nigerian army.Gerrit!

Please go and interview Iraqis, Afghans.

Sweetmom:
What you conveniently left out of your "Funny Wicked story" was that the son who looked different's way of complaining was calling his Father a "terrorist pedophile goro eating muslim", "vegetable" , e.t.c and calling his brothers "Coward Afonja", "Zombie" and all other sort of demeaning names, also the so called son disowned his family and threatened to pick up arms to kill his father and brothers if not allowed to break away and start his own family, you will agree with me that this "Wicked" son is been shown love if whipping is the only punishment he is getting.

In future I would advise him not to burn bridges and disrespect his elders if he wants to be taken seriously.

The Funny Wicked story is another clear instance of the Very myopic way of thinking and the trademark of our brothers from the east. They will never be objective but love to spin stories to make them look like they are being badly treated.

If the problem these people have is Buhari then there are two options which i think can get them result without causing themselves pains and agony
i.)Ask their representatives in the national assembly to begin an impeachment process against Mr President. Im sure PMB would have committed at least one impeachable offence. (the truth is their so called reps and governors are eating with PMB)
ii.)Start to build strategies and alliances to vote out PMB in 2019

Sadly they wont follow globally acceptable ways of getting things done. IPOB should know that he that must come to equity must come with clean hands. Calling out UN, US now does not help ur case. Unfortunately who wants to defend a country that will end up as a landlocked entity, what is the economic gain for them or you think USA is Father christmas. I wish you guys well in your aspirations.
