The man must be an accountant

Anyone who is part of this blood thirsty government does not deserve to lead Nigeria. Osibanjo sits in meetings where decisions are taken and we have not seen any sign that he disagrees with any of the decisions taken so far by this government. Silence in the face of injustice and oppression is actually complicity and support to the oppressor.
He should have resigned if he is not as greedy and blood thirsty and his boss

okefranci:
Politics of 2023 presidential election appears unpredictable as many political gladiators on the platform of the All Progressive Congress (APC) are already jostling to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari. Political power is understandably expected to shift to the southern Nigeria after President Buhari must have completed his two terms of office. This calculation is based on the unwritten agreement of rotational presidency between the North and the South.

Undoubtedly, the leading and most popular of all the gladiators that are aspiring to occupy the number one seat of Nigeria on the platform of APC is Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Aside being the National Leader of the ruling party, the former Governor of Lagos State was highly instrument in the formation of APC and eventual capturing of power from the PDP led government in year 2015. Realistically, BAT has the goodwill, widespread acceptance, political structure and financial wherewithal to clinch the presidential ticket of APC and still go ahead to win the presidential election.

Inasmuch as these permutations look strongly favourable for Bola Tinubu, it should also be noted that some forces within the APC are already plotting to stop his emergence as the party’s candidate. It has even been argued in some questers that Asiwaju has since transmuted to a kingmaker; and it is a general belief that kingmakers are never known to have become kings.

In spite of cold political calculations that may not not be to the advantage of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, one thing that cannot be taken away from the highly cerebral and smooth operating politician is the fact that he is always a step ahead of his detractors. While his detractors appear fixated on working against his next political ambition, the Jagarban Borgu is also expected not to have gone to bed without giving serious thoughts to all possible options available to him.

Without doubt, one quality option that is available to Asiwaju Tinubu and indeed the APC in 2023 is the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo. The intellectual and legal genius may not be politically savvy like other gladiators, however, his competence has readily make up for whatever he may perhaps be lacking as a career politician. He has evidently demonstrated capacity to competently administer the affairs on Nigerian nation on several occasions. Osinbajo had on severally seized the opportunity of the president’s medical visit to the United Kingdom to proved his competence and leadership acumen to all Nigerians.

Osinbajo has left no one in doubt of his ability to skillfully and expertly manage the nation’s affairs whenever his boss travels abroad for medical check up. The fact that the Vice president is eminently qualified and highly experienced to succeed his boss should not be argued. As a lawyer, Osinbajo became a Senior Advocate of Nigeria at a fairly young age. He had later served for eight years as Lagos State Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General. He has also been in the saddle as Nigerian Vice president since year 2015.

It will be recalled that Osinbajo had properly pilot Nigerian economy, strengthened the Naira and ensure security across the country in his capacity as Acting President while President was abroad for medical treatment. It should also be noted that Osinbajo demonstrated his firmness and capacity to the admiration of most Nigerians. One instance of this was when the Vice president promptly sacked Lawal Daura as the boss of Department of State Security (DSS) in August, 2018.

Unknown to many people, Prof Yemi Osinbajo actually anchored the international conferences that led to the creation of strategic institutions such as the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC), Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Federal Road Safety Commission and National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC).

More so, the twin qualities of integrity and loyalty that have since become very rare amongst Nigerian politicians are what Osinbajo is truly known to have in abundance. He has evidently shown genuine loyalty to his boss, even when President Buhari was critically sick and flown to the UK. All the the while, Osinbajo never contemplated any act of disloyalty. He has also resolutely committed himself to the cause of Nigeria and her dreams. He has established himself as a political soul-mate and a dependable ally of his boss, President Muhammadu Buhuri.
The Vice President is also a model of integrity as he has for more than forty years maintained exceptionally clean lifestyle and conducts.

Another outstanding quality of Prof Osinbajo is his deep sense of patriotism and commitment to excellence and hard work. In addition, the alumnus of London School of Economics is a detribalized leader who also sees himself first as Nigerian and never known to have manifested tribal or religious sentiment. He is a strategic leader that knows what to do, when to do same and how to get it done.

Despite being a pastor, he has continually promote religious tolerance and harmony in the country. He is also imbued with genuine fear of God, which is responsible for his trademark humility, loyalty and patience. Osinbajo is also a lover of peace and firm believer in one strong and indivisible Nigerian nation. He is undoubtedly an egg head and a great strategist which are great attributes that great leaders should posses.

Another reason that also makes Osinbajo a credible option for the APC presidential ticket is the fact of his unblemished records in both private and public sectors. This fact will also make it a lot easy to market him across all ethnic divides in the country. More so, the Vice president is comparably young and he is loved by most Nigerians. As things stand today, Nigerian youths, professionals, civil servants, artisans and peasants will prefer to have Osinbajo as their next president because of his close interactions with them.

While others gladiators are busy scheming to grab the presidential ticket of APC, Nigerian Vice president, Professor Yemi Osinbajo has always count on the same grace of God that sought out David amongst his brethren and eventually made him a king. The 64 years old lawyer and pastor is divinely positioned to be the joker of APC in 2023. He is clearly positioned not only to help the party retain power, but to also unite all factions and restore lasting peace and discipline to the ruling party.

....while you are still waiting to pay him back (though you might not be able to); Just ask God to pay him back for you. Thanks Daniel

They stopped our company of our contract with millions uninformed, went to Delta to cool off my pains, bae break up the next morning saying I dont have money, went to warri to meet a friend just him to say sorry I cant stay with him. A stranger just walk up to me at shoprite and asked if i need help and I said yes, he took me home and lied to his mum I was his tutorial teacher and I was welcomed. he fed me, gave me a nice room just that tears were just flowing till dawn.... Daniel, I vowed to myself I will pay back you in hundred folds

In other words, they are protecting their interest.

Typical Nigerians.

That is the sad thing about this press release. And let's be honest, some Fulanis too might be victims of the same law enforcement brutality.

But because their brother is in charge.....he must be protected.


That's how many Hausas and Igbos and south southerners and other tribes, apart from the Yourbas kept quiet over June 12, because it was not in their interest.

And that's how the antifuel subsidy protest of 2012 did not take place in the SS and South east because 'it was not in their interest'

And the funny thing is that the people protecting their brother in power, and those protesting are suffering the same thing

Miyetti Allah should wake up to the fact that a reformed Nigeria, and a reformed police force is in their interest

When next you want to make a point in public, please do that in a straight way without painting other tribes dark. If you check through the history of this nation, you will realize that your tribe is even more guilty of all you accused others about. The role they played in the civil way remains ever fresh..

The only common thing they have against Freeze is because he speaks against their Tithe taking and their selfish + flamboyant life styles

out of fear of the level of traffic that might occur today, I left my house at Ketu past 4am and got to VI in about 30 minutes....the road was virtually empty except for other people who also left as early as I did.

encryptjay:
If the sound that succeeds it, is consonant, use 'a' but if it's a vowel sound, use 'an'.
In simpler words, if 'h' is silent during pronunciation, use 'an' for example
An honour
An heir
An hour
For non-silent 'h', use 'a'.
A horse
A herd
A hospital.

It's an honour to meet with you.
This is a hospital

I think I've heard, "an husband" before.

good job ...but I think it's an hospital

This is simply wickedness. The Governor's relatives can't do this type of job

i am not understanding prof!

40-18=22...... This woman try no be small!

... Jesus Christ could have acquired his own personal donkey...for land travels and a personal boat for sea travels. Afterall, he was going about doing good...always on the move and a good reason to have acquired those means of transportation..humility per excellence!

I simply feel sad how some businessmen have clearly brainwashed my country men and women and still claim to be following the steps of Christ.

thanks for this response. I know and respect Louis Edozien as a core professional with many years work experience in the US. Without mincing words, I worked in one of his companies here in Lagos and can vouch for him to an extent. As far back as 1999 to 2002 before I left the company, We lost some contracts simply because Louis refused to give out 'envelopes' or even pad the contract figures. its sad when we celebrate mediocres and fight technocrats who should help reform the economy.

Guyman02:
This is blackmail from Daily Trust; they have clipped the wings of Ibe Kachikwu in Petroleum, now the cabal is moving on to the Power

Let no Niger Delta person support this scheme, after all the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Education Dr. Jamila Shu’ara retired as a Director but was given 2 years extension to her retirement date and appointed as Perm Sec by Buhari.

Edozien, Muoneke and Onejeme were experts who had done well for themselves working abroad, they schooled, lived and were working there in key organizations when the FG invited them to help in the establishment of NDPHC to improve power supply in Nigeria.

Did Buhari present any WAEC certificate? Why are they not talking about Edoziens academic qualifications from Ivy League schools in America? How useful is NYSC discharge certificate when appointments in to CBN, FIRSC, Customs etc are done through the back door.

Enough of this blackmail, allow the man to do his job.

this mentality will not take you far. I suggest you read the post again and make amends if need be. thanks

clems88:
Any employer ready to employ you woundnt be looking for all these things u wrote joor

Stop lying to yourself bros. every reasonable man from south east knows that the Igbos are the worst enemies unto themselves. As an Ahiara christian why an Awka priest from Awka (Anambra state) cannot be a bishop in Ahiara (Imo state)... 80% of the Kidnappers in SE are not foreigners but we we. ..They are called household enemies.

I am a full blooded Igbo man and I agree that no sensible person will agree with the marginalization stunt being sold by politicians. Uwazuruike has got enough wealth from Massob...then Nnamdi began with IPOB...when he is done, any other sharp guy will come up with another name and there will always be followers.....

CHESTER48:
the guy up me sef. Too fast..Mbaka what ever you call yourself, shut up your mouth, we are tired of hearing your nonsense.. IN ENUGU, NSUKA MAN IS THE GOVERNOR. THE FORMER WAS ỤDỊ MAN. THE PREVIOUS WAS NKANU MAN. AND THE NEXT NOW IS NKANU AGAIN. CAUSE IT'S THEIR TURN. WHAT NONSENSE ARE YOU SAYING. IGBO ARE THE MOST Understanding, LOVING AND INTELLIGENT PEOPLE THAT ALLOW PEACE TO REIGN. IF NOBODY WILL ALLOW IT, THEN IT SHOULD CAUSED ISSUE ALREADY WHEN GOVERNOR COME FROM DIFFERENT PLACES.

MBAKA ALWAYS SAYING TRASH SINCE THE DAY HE SAID BUHARI WILL BRING CHANGE. LATER HE SAID BUHARI IS KILLING US. ALL THE FAKE SHITTY PEOPLE DECEIVING THEIR MEMBERS

why?? ...US is not that senseless. not even when its obvious that the IPOD team is on a self destruction journey. how do you want to gain autonomy form a secular state in this 21st century by violence?

lordimmaogidi:
. Remember d America warning,that no right of an individual should b trampled .I don't think fg can arrest nnamdi any longer, if they do USA will intervene

Firgemachar:
flatiyeasterners have started shittting their pants.

..and you think aboki knows the difference abi?...ask the non-hausa muslims in the north what happens during religious riots. May God help this country

good analysis Arinze.
one would have believed this story better if Reuben Abati is explaining to Nigerians why he resigned from office 4 or 6 months after appointment and discovered it's a spirit game. Not after he enjoyed the loot for more than 4 years and even campaigned for more tenure.

I thank God for allowing Jesus die for me and assuring me of a better life after death. I am also thankful that I have life and a good job and among other wonderful things he's done for me.

we have hear

where is Nkem Owoh

He is that retired civil servant who managed to become a landlord on your street and quarrels with his tenants always. he comes to warn you when you receive to many visitors or when your music/generator noise is high

1. aka baa n'onu, nsi apuo n'ike (whenever the hand enters the mouth, feaces leaves the anus)
2. ike nwanyi calabar !
3. otubo agbaa ama afo ime (the navel has finally revealed the concealed pregnancy)

u r so wrong my brother. pls speak for only yourself and your likes. for me and my own folks, we are for good governance.
did Jonathan run good governance? NO NO NO.
is Buhari giving good governance, NO for now but still has time to get it right (all things being equal). One thing I know too well is that in 3 years from now, no sane Nigerian will ever compare Buhari and Jonathan.

Umunnem let us wake up! the same people that made some of our people hate APC are now in serious romance with APC. can't we see that the problem is not the party but the individuals involved.

the article is simply on point. the problem of ndigbo is simply ndigbo

zendy:
I read through the long epistle and found it to make no sense at all. What point was the writer trying to make? That Igbos rejected APC? As an Igbo man, Buhari abd APC have not shown me any reason to trust them. If anything, I trust them even less now that they are in power than when they were not. And I'm sure most of my fellow Igbos share the same sentiment. APC is simply hasn't got the support of Igbos and is likely never to. That's just the way it is

HarkymTheOracle:
keeping a good relationship is key.. This is what i tell my coursemates now that all the expo they are carrying wont make some of us want to recommend them in the future...and some people are not even trustworthy..anytime we ar given a group project,i know of some coursemate of mine who wont contribute their quota to d group..they just leav it for d workaholics to do it for them.. now tell me if i would recommend them in the future?..

Btw,listen to my songs @ http://my.notjustok.com/p/oracle/

my dear, you need to also thread carefully; have you asked your self if those coursemates you think are lazy today will recommend you if the table turns. Life is a funny game and i have been around for a while. Some of my own coursemates whom were tagged O-O (our slogan for time wasters and lazy students back then) are strong forces in various fields today. if you don't change your mindset about them and stop looking at them like monkies, they too might start looking at you like banana and at the end, it becomes a win-lose game instead of win-win. All the best in your studies

Lordave:
I wasn't expecting you to easily comprehend what I meant.

I mean say the merged ministries dey too much for one man, e go slow the process of change and we fit remain like this after Buhari leaves.

and Lagos State was too little for him?? the reward for good job is more job bro.

what about this guy makes him Nigerian? his green shirt?

People do too many things inside the buses and trains, nobody takes their pictures or videos and tag them Nigerian.

we need to learn to say NO to racism even when it comes subtle.

silverdam:
You removed fine name like Olusola from your name because of one stupid Nollywood movies and Igbo producers. Why is he so fake like many of us? But now that you want to join Politics and need the help of the people, you quickly remember Olusola.


Why would a sane person replace Olusola with Desmond? I'm proud to have a yoruba name "Oluwatosin" I will never substitute it for anything in this world, I'm proud of my culture and where I'm coming from. Why should I be ashamed of my name because of Igbo producers? Too bad!!!

don't be too quick to judge. Desperate times calls for deperate measures. we have all at one time or the other denied our identities (consiously or unconciously); it does not really have to be name.

I know of a strong man of God called Abraham, he chose to introduce the wife as a sister. I was in the northern part of Nigeria when Boko haram started and Christians were disguising as muslims .... all survival instincts. my point all thru is : don't be quick to judge

Amechi has done his homework perfectly. All he needs to do right now is watch the ensuing commotion and afterwards bow and go!!!

this is certainly from the perspective of a one-man-business small firm

i guess you need the scholarship too so as to learn to read before making comments

BabyDaddy20:
He's a big fool.
He should let the foolish Boko haram kill all the Hausa & Yoruba tribe because those two tribes brought this calamity president into power.

They need no help.
You're killing your own tribe, I don't give a flying & swimming fucckk.

this is why we have many junks in the industry! they will always have fans once they show a picture of their "front and back"

Finally, Fr. Mbaka is vindicated. I am certain that God would have warned him after his encounter with the first lady and that might be why he came back with full passion to state the obvious. Congrats to Buhari
