then you point out one great achievement we have recorded under the civilian rule with our petroleum sector. The fact that those achievements were under the military says a lot about our political class and its recklessness. Those nations who started the same time we discovered oil have juduciously used the proceeds of the black gold to better the lives of an average citizen in their countries, so what is your point about sophistication. As a matter of fact, if there is anytime we should have done well with our pet resources, it was the past ten years when the nation witnessesd the highest oil boom ever. Our currency should be stronger, our reserve should be marvelous and we should have been self sufficient in our downstreem. So do you need a Deiziani to tell you that the major problem with the industry is corruption and inefficiency?

PassingShot:
What is your point. I am satisfied with the list. The next phase is to see what they can offer.

Again, what's your point?

Sharap that ur rotten mouth n go n think
what have u done with all the education exposure and certificates u have acquired
the buhari dullard u are refering to has been a General In the Nigerian army,a former petroleum minister and PTDF chairman,military head of state n now democratically elected head of state...Again i ask u what have u done with all uur exposure cos buhari the common farmer u are refering to has assumed the highest office in the land...
Minister of petroleum should come from Delta kwa u think say Nigeria is all about delta state? what of the last petroleum minister (Diezanni) that was ur sister what did she do for u or the country
buhari should not be among the 10,000,000 people!!! u who is a better qualified person why them no shortlist or screen u for ministerial appointment can u even win Councillor or LG chairman?
Like i said if u dont have any productive or reasonable contributions or cannot answer the questions i have asked u above, u should as well delete ur account on NL

you tell me exactly what section of the constitution stipulates that only a dude from the niger delta can be a petroleum minister,afterall the best ever petroleum minister, Dr Rilwan lukman is from the north. Also what better qualification does any1 need to have to be a pet minister than the 1s mr president has. He was a petroleum minister under whose watch 2 refineries were designed, built and completed -n 3 years. So tell me what experience and qualification does he need to possess. He had overseen petroleum ministry @ the highest level, combined with his impeccable integrity, he is the best for the job. Just need the constitutional interpretation to be sure of the propriety of a sitting president being a serving minister

[size=15pt]Those saying they're disappointed never wanted PMB nor voted for him. So, we expect them to always be disappointed in whatever the president does. It's like expecting the Chief Wailer (Barcanista) or the Chief Abobaku (Chukwudi) to appreciate any action by the president. It will NEVER happen!

And anyone who actually wanted and voted for Buhari (change) must have sincerely had a reasonable expectation that those around him (Amaechi, Fashola, Lai Muhammed, Ogbonna Onu etc) would be made ministers. So, what is the disappointment in the list?

So, if you say you're disappointed, it's either you never voted for PMB or you didn't know what you were doing then. Which one? [/size]

This is blasphemy and if you're not careful, would lead to your death by stoning


I no blame you, keep reading the Da Vinci Code.
Better accept Christ as your personal Lord and saviour, hell is real.

Take it easy, dont kill yourself.. he can be Minister f he wants.

Lie lie, no be petroleum minister.

He can be minister of Defence, Agriculture or Nomadic rearing(cos of his 150 cows and Daura farm ), Tourism(cos of his love for photographs and selfies), Transportation (cos of his love for travelling like Paul the Apostle on his missionary journeys), Water resources (cos of lack of water and and irrigation in his Daura farm, lest his beloved 150 cows die of thirst)... He should forget about petroleum.

NaijaTalkTown:
Pesin wail sotey e forget say Buhari na former minister of petroleum and head of state. No kill yourself o!

Mercie97:

IGBOS MUST LEARN TO RESPECT WE YORUBAS.

There is nothing provocative nor insultive about my writeup. Saying that Igbos modelled their system after the Benin does not in any way imply that the Igbos are from Benin or that Igbos copied Benin. The current system of hereditary monarch practised in almost all South-Southern and South-Eastern ethnic nationalities are akin to that of the Benin kingdom. It is in no doubt that the influence of the old Benin kingdom spread even as far as Cotonou in Benin Republic. The current Obi system in Onitsha, Deinship in Agbor, Asagbaship in Asaba, among other, were all modelled after the Benin system. The reason for this is that most of these rulers looked up to the Oba as a symbol of royalty and hegemony. Even in Urhobo and Isoko land, as well as Lagos, the monarchical system is like that of Benin. One cannot simply relegate the influence of Benin Kingdom, especially in the reign of Oba Ewuare the Great, to the shadows. Beads, as we know them now, were made popular by the Benin Kingdom of old and there is virtually no Igbo palace that doesn't make use of beads. There are so many things that were adapted by the Igboid cultures from Benin. However, in all these, Igbos were never subject to Benin nor were they ever conquered by any Oba.
In essence, do not misinterpret my statement. The Igbo nation has its own systems and cultural bias. However, the widespread monarchical renaissance of the old Benin kingdom has directly or indirectly shaped their traditional system of leadership.
Secondly, I mentioned that Igbo women dress like Benin women. This statement was made only in comparative terms and nothing more. This comparative level being that Edo was presented before Igbo.

You know I look at how people just post rubbish ....NRI and Igbo ukwu kingdom is far older than Benin
