Your parochial believe in appointment of compensation is corruption and is the bane of Nigeria's progress - Koolking punches Punch

They look funny!!

I killed my time and read opinions on this topic page by page. I am actually spell-bound by Nigerian mentality. I thought we had been freed from this self-destruct-mentality.

To actually believe the Op pursuit of truth is a defamation of character to her ex-house help - due to unfounded claim of 'jazz' as motivator, you deserve to be shot in the head.

I have given up on Nigerians. Their problems need 'undo it yourself' solution. They are beyond redemption.

Lol... I know this is quite funny but am just doing it for fun ok.
I am a bachelor and stay alone so I really got fed up of eating out or buying junks and decided it's time to wake up and make my kitchen very useful.

I got tips on how to prepare some good meals so check out the Okro and afang soup I prepared.

My first try sha so am just excited to share because am not stingy lol

Dude, you used groundnut oil or coconut oil to prepare your soup? Palm Oil would have given your soup an inviting view.

You just saved yourself a few bucks. Eating out is a huge financial hemorrhage.

The salient issue is not making laws, but the will to enforce these laws.

Methinks, Lagos State Tenancy Law is now a toothless bulldog that only bark but cannot bite. Land Lords and Estate Owners/Managers still act with impunity, trampling on their tenants' right without recourse to law.

I received the security alert in my office from our security department. I simply put the message out there.

I would rather put the message out there and warn people and it turns out to be wrong than hold on to it and it happens to be right and someone walks into an active hostile environment and get hurt.

Your concerned for people's safety is deeply appreciated, brother. But do know that you may cause more harm than good if the information you broadcast turns out to be hoax. Remember, salt and water bath during Ebola scourged - people were so docile to believe that nonsense and more harm befell them.

I personally don't broadcast info forwarded to me without verification. People relish SM to crave attention for themselves. Your intention was noble, I understand. Then, let watch it. Peace!

Robbery & Hostage Situation At First Bank Rumuola Port Harcourt.


Dear All,

I have just received a security alert of an ongoing robbery and Hostage situation at First bank Rumuola Road.


Please people in the area should be aware and stay clear.

Also those who can give us live updates should do so.

You didn't find a way to verify the alert before rushing to NL to post, causing unnecessary public panic for nothing. SMH, anything news on SM spread like wild fire, people don't care verifying info before broadcasting to others.

My complaining will help someday. The bitter truth is that this administration is full with bigotry, tribalism and nepotism

Person opinion is allowed. It's our right as humans.

Smh it's either u are a northerner, south westerner or a Nigerian based abroad. We know ur type. Learn to speak the bitter truth always

It does not make any different where I am. People are living and surviving in Afghanistan, Sudan. Since you started complaining, how does it change your situation?

What do you mean by the 'bitter truth'? Complaining? Is that it? Who does the 'bitter truth' help?

tap into it as how?,by joining the apc?, because the only people that seem to be immune to this present economic hardship are the political class and those with government appointments like the minister who made that same statement that it's only the minority that is complaining and funny enough you just said the same thing, or are you related to the minister?

Not at all. I don't believe in government doing everything for me. perhaps, why am not in any way disappointed. Life will always pose challenges. We have to realise and accept that waking up daily is expensive. The realisation of this will make you stop complaining and face life head-on.

bender79:
we are heading for two years in this administration and I see no signs that thisnew approach is working. Now even if he chooses to appoint everyone from daura, is it an approach of competency over partisanship or the other way round?

Chill bro. Things will work. 2 years is not 2 decades. 2-year is just a blink of an eye. There is no glory without cross.

OP, understand the difference - Wedding is not marriage.

Supposed husband and wife are also breaking up everyweek

Vanpascore:
To cut the story short, the work is a typical slavery work, though he is collecting about 65K/month as wage, when converted to naira. But he did not want to waste almost 500k he paid this agent.

Nigerians with craze to travel overseas for slavery work. Apart from better education and vacation, can't we travel overseas as expatriates? Imagine spending N500,000 as agency fee to travel abroad, only to receive paltry N65,000 every 30days, with lifestyle and and taxes, how much do you take home?

If the N500,000 was invested wisely here in Nigeria, the OP would have made more than N65,000 monthly.

2dugged:
did you just say the minority few that were eating from the past government are the ones wailing now?please I need to know where you are,since the economy is not affecting you, I should send you my account details so you can sow a seed into my life. It seems you are among the uppermost upper class citizens of this country,please help your fellow citizen I don't want to be a casualty of the government

Being a casualty is a choice. Nigerian present economy presents a lot of opportunities. You can also choose to tap into or sit and complain. The choice is yours

bender79:
....and you honestly think that is lopsided appointments has yielded results?

For 56years Nigeria has played politics of appointment based on regions at the expense of capacity and ability. Overtime, this arrangement bred mediocrity as people were appointed based on compensation and not reality. 56 years gone without commensurate result. Same game, same people.

It became pertinent to change the game and watch the effect. This is what being smart has taught me.

2dugged:
and are you seeing the respite for the common man?,instead things are getting worse

Things aren't getting worse. There must be casualies in an effort to make things work. Things are shaping up. No good thing comes easily. Don't conclude just yet

I just discovered it's only the minority few that were eating fat for doing nothing in the immediate past government that are whining and wailing now. Complains will not change a thing, it is a fact.

We need reforms from brave people in order to move the country forward. Encourage the government

The list was not necessary. Even if Buhari is appointing his kinsmen and foreigners to help him revamp Nigeria, I don't care.

I only care about result - 'respite' for the Nigerian people at the end

Seriously, Op? Nigerian musicians or international musicians?

Do Nigerian musicians make money at all? What source? From the crappy and noisy music they make or what? N100 album they offer for sale at Alaba? Endorsements, shows?

Op, wake up. This comparison you are trying to do 'e get as e bi'. It's a disservice to some of us in your attempt to make such comparison

Not impressive. Family full of people with despicable and dishonest profession. Lawyers are liars

CuteTj:
You're so correct. Fashion is about wearing what makes you comfortable. Those that made the so called fashion rules formed their style so what should stop me from forming my own style too? They don't have a monopoly of styles jare.

I wear ties on short sleeved shirts to the office and I must confess, I get flattering comments on those occasions. I have decided to adopt the style forever. Pls if you know where I can get lovely short sleeved shirts either ready made or sewn, kindly let me know.

Coliseum on Oregun Road, Ikeja used to be a place for smart shirts - but their prices now are impossible. You can get a world class Tailor at Tinubu Square, Lagos and get your shirts shown to specifications.

The man (Buhari) looks very lanky and sickly in Army uniform. https://cdn2.jaguda.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/66.jpg

^^ see, GEJ who was not even a military man looks more GALLANT

GEJ was the quintessential 'commander in chief'.

GEJ looks gallant but timid

Your list is subjective. Fashion is all about wearing what makes you feel comfortable and also appealing to people. Even at that, not everyone will approve of your apparels, choice of colors and style. I personally stick to wearing what makes me feel comfortable and sending the right message by my appearance at the same time.

Wearing straight ties with shortsleeved shirts is not a fashion flop to me. Your choice of colors and your personal mien are factors to consider if you mean to look dashing and acceptable.

izzou:
So all his appointed ministers are competent??

Thumbs up bro

Even if he decides to appoint based on how competent they are, irrespective of their political zone, you still call them competent?

Fashola is a renowned lawyer and he now handles the problem of a power, works and housing of a nation. Are you telling me there is no northerner or southerner who is competent enough in the power sector to take up that post?

I never liked Jonathan but during his tenure, screening was done and when you hear the qualifications of his choices, you know there was some bit of seriousness.

I am from anambra but there are better nigerians that can handle the ministry of labour instead of chris ngige

You are entitled to your opinion sha but APCs saving grace is that PDP is not yet serious

My submission is that, I do not care who is in charge, whether Nigerians or foreigners. I am a proponent and respecter of good governance. A government that brings succour to the people. Whoever the president chooses to achieve the desired objectives is not my concern. I am interested in what the government has achieved positively. I will never support 'Turn by Turn' governance and governance of compensation. It reeks of mediocrity.

It's undisputable that there are few selfless and patriotic Nigerians. Sufficiently qualified Nigerians are all over the nooks and crannies of Nigeria. It's not about qualification. It's about attitude.

nnachukz:
Buhari is his own enemy. Nobody is sabotaging him except himself. His utterances, his moves are all saddled with tribal bigotry. He is practising favouritism as against all inclusive government and so is surely going to be receiving serious oppositions from those he his neglecting. Nothing divine brought him there, only the ignorance of the masses and their gullibility that brought him there.

What do you mean by "all inclusive government"? I just hope it's not what I think. Last I checked, the president has right to pick his wise men anywhere. Appointment based on compensation breeds mediocrity. It has never engendered the desired result in Nigeria. It's high time we did things differently. Who cares even if Buhari's team is exclusively foreigners or his kinsmen? What interest me at the end of the day is the respite his team has been able to bring to the people.

...like a drowning man desperately looking for what to clutch on.

Publicity stunt, Fayose is still not the man of the people no matter how hard he tries

“By the end of this month, we are starting a social welfare scheme in which 7,000 people will be getting N5, 000 per month #FayoseSpeaks

www.punchng.com/ive-n300m-zenith-account-fayose/

How's Fayose Ekiti going to achieve the above when Ekiti is owing workers' salaries for months?

Methinks, this is more like braggadocio, an attempt to justify why he has N300M in his personal account in post governorship elections.

I had so much respect for Fayose as a smart dude, until he started showing traits of slowpoke. As a governor with all the power, you couldn't do a proper investigation on an alleged crime with evidences to nail your opponent. You stumbled on record somewhere, next second you went public and embarrassed yourself and your supporter. Fayose is truly a ponmo governor

FAKE PASSPORT. LET AISHA BUHARI TRAVEL TO USA IF SHE THINKS SHE IS INNOCENT. FROM FAKE WAEC CERTIFICATE TO FAKE NIGERIAN PASSPORT. WHERE IS EFCC AND DSS, U GUYZ SHOULD GO AND ARREST THE PERSON IN THE PASSPORT

This is a case of Identity theft. Any Aisha Buhari stepping his or her foot in the USA will be detained at the airport for questioning, and can only be released on satisfactory answer and or detained until cleared as the wrong culprit.

It's a complex issue when someone who bears the same name as you and from same enclave commits crimes.
