This guy again?

What's the difference between him and the repentant Boko Haram members?

Government been playing citizens like ten-ten

Both state and Federal

So the men in black still follow collect about #500m upon say na them 'enjoy' the lockdown pass.

I don't seems to understand what 'deploying assets' could mean such that it gulped more than #800m. Is it that they bought new assets during the lockdown and deployed them or they deployed already acquired assets with that amount?

The Task Force sha, na only them expend over 70% of the entire money.

The level of distrust is huge.

Would it not have been better if corporate organizations and philanthropists give the relief items and money to individuals directly instead of routing it through the government?

Hasn't the Oba settled this dispute?

Both parties should engage the electorates and not this mudslinging.

These aren't the best time to be poor in Nigeria.

Everything is skewed against the ordinary Nigerian.

Every day we wake up to read depressing news and government policies that will further pauperize the already impoverished people.

Only an insensitive government will attempt to increase the cost of any the basic item the poor survive on, at this trying period for most households.

Who would have thought they'll even think of hiking prices of power and petrol when they were the ones instructing Multichoice not to do same thing.

Dear Lord, only you can rescue the weak, vulnerable and downtrodden at this time and in all times. Do your wonders.

The condemnation resonates in every corner of the country.

If Gen. Buhari had not won in 2015, we would have thought we missed a Messiah.

I still can't believe President Buhari hasn't been able to fix a single refinery, six years into his administration.

We were sold a dummy!

That was a careless one Mr. Governor.


We shouldn't be paying for the ineptitude if those in government.

Would we have been badly hit by the rise in international price if our refineries had been fixed?

That's better.
If they won't respect the laws, I'm sure they'll fear the curse of tradition.
Election shouldn't be war

Only one person?

She's the definition of royalty.

I do not think reopening of a rehabilitated airport should be a thing that will warrant gathering of all leaders of a region.

As an aside, if Nigeria Air wouldn't fly, can we have regional airlines like Oodua Air, Eastern Nigeria Air etc?

All hail China.

...the new Father Christmas in town.

Resolution number 5 is very very important.

I'm not as disappointed in FFK as with the other Journalists in that room .

China self!
#300 Billion loan to a state?

Haba!

Channels say two dead, one injured.

RIP to the deceased, get well soon to the injured.

If only we can also copy and implement China's penalty for caught and convicted treasury looters

Yobe state?

Boko Haram has messed up the North truly.

The headline though.

God rest the soul of the departed

This has to be during the military days.

Level has changed

Opinions have shifted

Allignment and reallignment of interests

Should they fail to get what they crave for, they'll quickly activate option B

Trust any Nigeria politicians at your own peril.

The truth is, Nigeria as presently constituted and administered may never progress.

NUJ should just give him total media blackout.

...and most importantly, he should answer the question

Ok Mr. Ex Minister.

Can you now tell us who's sponsoring your trip?

The journalists should worry more about his colleagues, who instead of showing comradery, decided to throw him under the bus.

You can imagine one of them saying "...you see you life"

Btw , what's wrong in asking someone who isn't an elected official and going about to inspect project to explain who is sponsoring his trip?

The most unfortunate part of this isn't even the outburst of FFK it's the reaction of his colleagues after Fani left the room that wasn't captured in the video above.

One of them was even saying "you see your life? " " You see your life"?

I did. But I had to force her to increase the money and this is because I don't have the contact of the couple and if I didn't do it, it may affect their event. I end up collecting #200,000 for the job - executing the contract with #160,000 leaving me with only #40,000.

Her case reminds me of a tailor in my compound while growing up.. This man was very good in his job. He used to get so much national and state contracts designing uniforms, flags banners, caps etc for different government parastatals. One man in particular (I think he was a former chairman of Egbe Alimosho) use to bring the contract.

You would think this man would be very rich but that was not the case. Instead this man used to eat watery soup with biscuit bone. His soup used to be so watery that you wouldn't see a trace of the stew on Eba. This isn't an exaggeration. He died of Cardiac arrest because he works day and night without rest.

Yoruba call such people ' a fe aje ma fe a yo' meaning they want you to eat but never want you to belle full.

God bless our hustle

Why this much bickering over a 3months job that'll pay the beneficiaries less than the minimum wage.

Why?

netmillionaires:
This corruption has eaten deep into the nation's fabric. I once received a call from one of my event planning and decoration trainees. This woman is about 15 to 20 years older than I am. When I check on her, she told me that one of her relatives is getting married and she needs me to decorate the venue.

We went to see the couples to inspect the venue and negotiate a contract. I negotiated #360,000 since the place is already beautified and the people only needed few adjustments. This woman neither accepted nor complained about the contract. The couples transferred #360000 to her account to hold as a trustee.

Two days later, I sent her a bill of the things we would need for the event. Since the norm in the event industry is to settle the person who introduce the business 10% of the fee, I planned to give her #36000 plus additional #14000 totalling #50000, keep #50000 as profit and spend #260,000 to execute the job. When she saw the #260,000 invoice, she shouted. She asked what is it that I need to buy or rent that would take so much. She then told me that she would transfer #80,000 to me to execute the job. Funnily, she expected me to remove my own profit from that same #80,000 while she keep #280,000 to herself. I felt insulted.


I asked her why she didn't complain when O was negotiating the contract.

Damn! That was greed raised to power 2.
A typical case of monkey dey work baboon wan chop.

Did you eventually make the decoration?

It was an honest mistake.
So many people thought Buhari was the Messiah in 2015. This was partly due to the well oiled propaganda machine and the prevailing situation at that time.

5 years after, I doubt even PMB himself wouldn't have to seek God's forgiveness eventually.

May the best team wins.

Bayern may be ruthless, but PSG didn't get to the finals by sheer luck.

All we want to see is entertainment and not one-sided, boring final.

This sounds so much incredible and I'm struggling to believe it wasn't made up.

The OP should clear my doubt by making public the names of those involved.

It's not that Nigerian leaders are not capable of anything, but 8 out of 1000 is just undiluted greed.

You self reason am now that's just a paltry 0.8%

Morality demands that she does that with her entourage without being prompted or reminded.

Was that not what caused the alleged gunshot at the villa the other time?

Buhari was called all sorts of names prior to 2015. He was (and is still) among other names called a religious fanatic, a tyrant, an ethnic jingoist etc. When he was repackaged and adorned a robe of a Messiah, it worked like a magic and the rest is history.

Elrufai may be a bad market down South but make no mistake, he has his audience he's appealing to and they're in the majority where he comes from.

All that's required is some 'willing tools' down south who are not scarce to come by.

So never say never.

Something is obviously cooking.

We'll get to see it soon
