Faseun is a very close ally to falae
Meanwhile falae is one of d" yam eater'
But in reality ,sentiment and politics should not b used in setting up a vibrant economic team
Kalu idika kalu
Pat utomi
Bismak rewane
Henry boyo .
All these names will not b a bad idea bt rather pmb prefers d northerners

Gone are the days when big names win matches for you. Even if these people you listed are in the team bro, the present global economic realities will make them seem like nobody, and you'll still come here to wail.

Guyman02:
Many of us here thought that the likes of seasoned economists like Pat Utomi and Kalu Idika Kalu will form part of his kitchen cabinet and the nucleus of his economic strategy, but he was too sentimental in filling his cabinet with Northerners and considered them perhaps as citizens of 5% regions.

Kemi Adeosun is still studying from economics textbooks, the type we read for WAEC and presenting same in British accented English, in reality she is still a neophyte in international economic affairs, although I feel she is learning very fast on the job; but we actually didn't need a learner in times like this unfortunately and a lot of damage has been done to the economy already.

Going by your first few sentences, you sound more like an intelligent person but quite unfortunately you're not. Perhaps you may be. May be you're just being clannish and sentimental

am not a liar now.
i am not apc.
you people are train liars.
your latest lies:
buhari - i will name looters on 29th
lai mohammed - fulani headsmen are from mauritius
amechi - i do not like money
fashola - i did not say i can provide electricity in 6 months!
una no win the price?
however,
ee be like say this buhari lie about WASC don hook him throat!
i ask him to resign with dignity on the 29th,
people would have said he came, he tried, but the work is too much for him,
but he refuse.
buhari taa ku.
i am sorry for him.
i pity am.
you kuuma, you no fit give better advise?

So, anyone that doesn't share your sentiments is now an APC member? I sorry for your life. For me, I've moved on.

At the presidential dinner last night, members of the house Unity forum resolved to invite the Supreme Court over why the case of certificate forgery languishing in the lower courts. The members expressed dismay that even the case against no less a personality than the president has remained unresolved.
Honorable Sulaiman of Bauchi inferred this must be why foreign direct investmentn is running out of the country with the much needed hard currency, whille fulani headsmen from libya are coming in to cause havoc on farmers which have affected tomato in nigeria.
at the closed meeting in the sidelines of the presidential dinner, the members vowed to get a commitment from the chief justice to rule in their favor on the matter. Some resolved to offer tenure extension as part of the bargain

At the bold part says it all... story from the trash bin. You don't even know how to lie

Politicians, they don't cease to amaze one. I thought fayose was waxing on channels TV the other day that Sheriff is this, Sheriff is that, how come he's now among the people that sacked him? Believe these people at your own peril. Mtchew.

Is is the NLC that couldn't achieve much during the time of lily liver GEJ that will face a PMB that does not give a damn? I hear you.

Wealthgang:
People who usually rant "never lay hands on a woman no matter what" are those who end up doing it. Its not just by ranting it, u have to understand d real principle behind that statement. I know this from experience.

So why should u generally not lay hands on a woman? Simple! Cos women are generally perceived as weaker (physically) than men, hence are defenseless.
In order words, d real quip should be "never lay hands on a defenseless person (male or female)" instead of "never lay hands on a woman". The latter is by no means a moral absolute.

Saying that it is never justifiable under any circumstance whatsoever, to "lay hands on a woman" is d stupidest thing anyone can say.
As a martial arts student, I wouldn't fight with a lady (non-martial arts) any more than I wouldn't fight a 12yr-old boy or a disabled person. They're defenseless.

In d case where a lady is not defenseless n tries anything physical with u, by all means defend urself.
If d lady is defenseless but provokes u, by all means control urself no matter what.
If she's defenseless but still attacks u, by all means give her a dirty slap. It shud end dere, punches n kicks n headbutts not allowed.

I remember an incident that happnd in UBA bank uniport (which is usually crowded). A girl was shouting n cursing in d bank over her 5k which was wrongly deducted n d staff were trying 2 calm her down. Then a boy sitting elsewhere told her 2 calm down, that d money was just 5k na and would be refunded. This didn't go well with d gal cos b4 we knew it, she walked up to 2 boy & slapped him hard. As if that wasn't enough, she took off her slippers n slapped d boy again with it, to d dismay of evry1. She wanted 2 hit him again b4 a guy drew her away. D customers inside d bank were so angry n some were prompting d boy 2 give d gal a dirty slap n were swearing d gal would have died if it was them. The boy didn't react but just walkd outside.

What happnd afta, I dnt know.

If u were in his shoes, what wud u do?
If it was me, I won't hesitate 2 slap her back n front. Y have d guts 2 slap me in public? "Never lay hands on a woman" my ass. Wud also do same if it was a guy.
Some women don't hesitate 2 slap n attack men because they have that mentality an absolute law is guiding dem n they kw how 2 cry a river when a finger touches them. Bullshit!

As for wife-beating, men who do dat are goats n I wonder how women still go ahead 2 marry such men. One big cause of it is poverty n blockheadedness. U hardly c wealthy/enlightnd pple pummeling their wives.
Where I blame women 4 it is y they allow themselvs 2 be beaten continuously all in d name of luv or i-want-to-save-my-marriage

I quite agree with your submission, and I will give you one instance that happened during this fuel shortage crisis.

You know, we have been on the que at the station for only God knows how long. Only for this lady to come from no where to jump the qeue (keep wondering how that is possible, ... but it's real ) with the excuse that she was just coming from the hospital.

To cut the story short, I insisted that she can't buy before me, I wasn't ready to yield my turn for her, so do other people. So, after I bought mine, the lady just came to me by the side of the car and dealt me a dirty slap, calling me all kind of names.

As I made to get down to deal with, she just grabbed the collar of my shirt and went down, slumped. Before you know it, people, Lagos lookers, don rush come... "wetin you do her..." is the shout. Since then, I avoid them and their wahala like plaque ... even my wife, I just dey look her when she starts her ...

My job has one of the most free and relaxed working environment that I know of.

Social rapport - TGIF party at the end of every month in Clubs (we literarily "rent" an entire club for this event here) plus periodic visits to cool places in Nigeria.

Dressing - My landlord once asked, "Oga abeg help me with my AC" I told him I'm not a technician. He said but I dress like one. My point is in my line of work you are free to dress the way you like casual smart. I'm always in sneakers,Jeans/Chinos and T shirt or shirt that i always roll the sleeves up. I only dress corporate when meeting a Client.

Internet: This is my first love with my place of work. Gosh! the speed is killing. You can stream an entire movie without a break 90% of time. We are free to access any web page. Except for the usual culprits like pornography site and betting sites, you can access any social media platform, gaming sites, Torrent sites etc. I filled up my 2 TB hard drive with movies (HD), music, documentaries etc in less than 3 months...

Traveling: I now have 5 Visas courtesy of my office.

Salary: Above all, Alert ni koko. The pay is not really good sha...

Where be this your office, could it be shell or chevron, abi na Mobil? Na was o!

SenJoe:
Can you please tell me how i have insulted you, pls just point it out and i will apologies, or rather you throwing insults at the very first quote. I am emphasizing my words, i am not here to exchange insults. Next time say your mind without insulting people. It's very simple. Common Sense. Nice day bro.

SenJoe:
Look at you
I am not here to exchange words with your types. Never in your life quote me again. Be warned.

Those are your exact words. If the bold part is not an insult, I wonder what it is. The last time I used such a word, I got reprimanded from my seniors.

SenJoe:
Look at you
I am not here to exchange words with your types. Never in your life quote me again. Be warned.

You know what young man, we know your type, you're empty up there, so you gat nothing, Fadden, to offer. Its your trade in stock to throw insults around, and ain't gat time for that, I no be your mate. Good night.

SenJoe:
Zombies over to you

Have you blamed GEJ today?

Zombies will still say Bubu is working

Don't be amazed, that's Why they are called Zombies.

Grow up boy. This isn't a thread to throw tantrums. It's time to tell ourselves the real truth, devoid of party affiliations. Keep your contribution clean and creative. Look your State Government in the eye and tell them the stark truth. We ain't gonna keep on depending on Abuja for the rest of our live. Osun, where I come from, ain't doing good, I know, and I'm not gonna hold Abuja responsible for that.

My Contribution

I'd suggest that the FG should not give the States any respite. Let the States not pay salaries for months. By the time hungry catch the civil servants, they will stand up to their governor and ask him what they have been doing with their money. Is the Accountant General of each States not part of the Civil Service force? Is he not aware of the profligacy of the Govt. officials? I tell you, all these Governors can't perpetrate all these nefarious activities without the knowledge of some privilege Civil Servants, can't they stand for what is right in their State? It is until when they are not paid Salaries before we will start hearing their voice.

Take the OSOPADEC case for instance, the Itsekiris stood up to the State Assembly when they discovered that OSOPADEC, as organisation for the development of the Niger-Delta Area, had about N600m as security vote in their budget. So, the Civil Service of each States, through their Union, need to be mindful of what their respective Governors does with their common wealth.

During The President of Unites States Campaign it's officially stated and well documented

If the Airforce one is used at any point in time by the sitting president, his personal campaign funds are used to offset the bill.

So simple and clear, Obama's use of Airforce One during his 2nd term campaign is classified as " Unofficial use"

Only In Nigeria will the Head of Airforce move his car from one point to another for a few days jamboree"

My understanding that official privilege is reserved solely for the President and Vice President

Who cares if he's bn the best Chief of Staff, that's is duty, that's what he owes the nation. He will be decorated and celebrated at the very right time and moment . simple

That's where most of you are getting it wrong. It isn't his personal car for crying out loud, it is the official car of the CAS. Besides, I don't even think the man knows or cares how the car gets there. All he cares about is for him to get there and get a car to use. By the way, can any other organisation beat the millitary when it comes to logistics and planning? No!

Talking about the USA and Airforce 1 ,that's a different ball game entirely, the analogy does not count.

hopeforcharles:
Aiit, I like the way u address the post, do u know there are ecomo economical ways that can be used to reduce cost? Can you tell me that the place the meeting or celebration party is holding don't have good cars fit enough for the chief? Remember military hardware was what it was intended I only saw normal patrol vehicle infact different type from the conventional ones I see and a car which I believe is personal, didn't you notice that? Won't that be called mismanagement of equipment original intent.

At the bold part, that's not entirely correct. What you see there is the official car of the CAS, not his personal car. Now, be that as it may, I don't really think the Millitary are going to change their operational procedure simply because you and I discuss its propriety or not on the social media o! We had better leave them to do their thing o, even is as much as I, personally, see nothing wrong in using using the Nigerian Airforce Aircraft to air lift the Nigerian Chief of Airstaff's official car.

No specific age,not everyone will own a house,some will build,some will rent and some will buy.....just because you own a house does not make u better and successful than people who rent.....Build a house when you are financially ready to build one,stop looking. At others pace to do so...no one catches late comer in the hustle of Life

I totally agree with you. It is this craze to own a house or becomes landlord, to oppress or the craze to let the world knows that we have arrived the gives some folks the incentives to be corrupt. In saner climes, I don't think being your own landlord is the in thing, rather, having a good abode, with the necessary facilities holds sway. What they do is pay mortgage over a period of time from your monthly income and the flat becomes yours.

I once read in Ovation magazine, way back then, that the house being occupied by Princess Diana, on Piccadilly St., London, is owned by a Nigerian, and the Queen pays the rent. In order words, even the Queen of England is a tenant.

Building a house, for me personally, is not a priority. There're other things one can invest in other than real estate. I just want to own a flat, 3bedroom Max, where me and my family will live comfortably.

Go to Unilag and see how stressed majority of her workforce are. Most of them come from ikorodu, some as far as Agbowa, claiming ikorodu, just because of " ehn, I'm living in my house..." Some of them are down with stroke. A lady in my office that lives in ikorodu leaves nothing later than 4:30am, all because of cheaper rent. And she leaves the office by 2 or 3 pm sometimes and gets home by 6 or 7.

Babalegba:
Sorry but you are wrong.Islam does not forbid fighting and killing so a Muslim fundamentalist invariably heads towards murder and using force because his leader did the same w hen he was in the world,on the other hand Christianity expressly forbids it. Violent Muslim fundamentalists use the Quran to justify their bloodlust and even despise their critics.They are Muslims following their leader

You see, there you go again. If they point to you in the bible where what you ascribed to Muslims was espoused now, you will say another thing, that its king James version. OK. I heard you. Go on!

Embezzlement of the highest order, cars and bike that can ride on the road and save task payers money here u are using it for frivolities, Smh, have u seen the president airlift his car? They even airlifted bike oh gawd, where did we go wrong as Nigerians? Do u know how much aviation fuel cost? I insist this man be investigated

You see my friend, you got it wrong. Yes, they can ride on the road, but you can't compare the quantity and cost of fuel for the three automobiles (bike, air police car, and the CAS car) to what would be consumed by the big bird. Besides, taking all three for a road ride, like you suggested, will require three men doing the job of one man compared to the big bird, in close to 8 hours, depending on their destination, lagos or abuja, which would, ordinarily, take the plane less than no time. So, the plane is cheaper, faster, safer, and consumers less man power. By the way, that plane, the big bird, is actually manufactured to transport heavy military hardware. And I suppose that's the reason it was acquired in the first place. So, the air force is using it for its the intended use.

Its a debate.

Babalegba:
The issues you raised are too broad to be discussed on a forum, there is always the risk of not getting through. The events you mentioned were the follies of men and against the teachings of the bible. Not everybody that claims to be Christian is Christian.Going to church regularly does not make you a Christian If not for the scramble for Africa I'm sure you would be wearing a grass skirt now. Anyway a true Christian rejects evil and does not condone evil .God has all the time in this world and waits for all of us. In a civilized country Buratai and his men would be in jail by now

At the bold part is where you actually showed how hypocritical you are. When we were crying our eyes out that its not everyone who claimed to be a Muslim is actually a Muslim, it is people like you that asked us to keep quite. Now that you've been boxed in, you're now the same line as us. Shame.

Most beneficiaries of the exercise were alleged to be relations of politicians and top government officials, including President Muhammadu Buhari’s nephew; Minister of Internal Affairs, Abdulrahman Danbazzau’s son, and Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu’s son

Others included Inspector-General Police, IGP Solomon Arase’s son; former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar’s daughter, and former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ghali Na’aba’s daughter

Are you telling me that the children of all these people do not have a job all these while, only waiting fro their parents to become this or that and use their position to help them?

And we go dey here dey abuse our self papa on top their matter! God punish devil!

The problem with dis Yoruba folks is trying to create another Okonjo Iweal out of kemi.

How pathetic it sounds and I feel sometimes when I read comments like this on this forum, by supposedly educated people.

We are discussing national issues that affect everyone,irrespective of tribe or religion, you are here talking about "Yoruba people ". It's a shame! Big time shame when young educated minds like you can't do away with the toga of ethnicity and clannishness. A very big shame, shame!

MRBrownJ:
get your facts right... they did have plan to start a family together, just without being married. if you believe that you MUST be married to start a family then i suggest you quickly wake up and start living in the 21st century

Hey!!!! God!!! It's really end time o! So, people need not get married in the 21st Century before they start a family!? Aye ti ba'je.

I once over heard some young girls saying they would like to be single parents, I tot that was the highest of it. OK o!

This guy is a legend.... majority of you don't know that if we borrow this money today, we certainly will repay same tomorrow....thereby making the future more difficult for us. What happened to inward generalising of fund here in Nigeria?

Why can't our president and his Economic advisers( dunno if he has any) devise ways of making money that's distinct from loan

Someone will come and say it's needed to finance our "budget".... that's balderdash!
Now the question is why would someone in his right senses borrow to finance his budget... why not cut it down.
It's just like a school boy who was given two thousand naira as pocket money but while drawing up his budget for the semester, he budgets 10k..... because of the 8k he "would" borrow when he gets to the campus.
Tell me if that's intelligence or sheer stupidity.

Bro, all these yur analogy no make common sense at all. You don't compare the finance of a country with that of a school boy, school boy does not sell nor produce anything, he's just a consumer who depends on his parents.

Now, do you know that the America that you all make reference to as the best economy is the biggest debtor in the world, owing up to trillions of dollars in debt?

Well, I will excuse you, perhaps you are still a school boy... so you don't really know what we are talking about here.

The core and primary objectives of any government should be social, economic, infrastructural development and technological advancements but the selection policies and regional disintegration is just too worrisome

Where are the Intellectuals??

Talking about regional disintegration, I think this, in my opinion, has nothing much to do with the Federal Government. Rather, I would suggest we hold our respective State Governors responsible for that.

You see, I think we have focused so much and too much on the center while the States and Local Governments rot away, going about their business as if no one cares, and really, we careless about what goes on in our respective local government secretariats.

How many times have you and I call out our local government chairmen or even the councilors representing our wards. It's all about the FG. I think we need to channel our focus in these areas as well.

Thank you.

I said they where going to delete my posts and the Mod. Did not disappoint me.

Igbos open your eyes, this is a planned propaganda to bring one of your own down. This story is not verified to be on the front page.

There is a war against you in Nigeria. They are using every tool around to pull you down.

This is pure propaganda against slot. You will not know what damage this story will cause.

NL. Is not the right place for this guy to talk about this.

Try and write something good about the Igbos and see if this will see front page.

The war is being waged in all front against The Igbos.

I'm Yoruba and I have this Igbo guy at Oyingbo who sells generator, very honest and straight forward guy. As a matter of fact, I've bought two Gens from him, without regret, and I've already told him about an impending business I have for him by December in my office.

You see my friend, I feel very sorry for you and the way you think. The issue at hand has nothing to do with tribe. If you see something good say it, and if it's otherwise also simply say it. Slot ain't doing good in recent times, truth be told.
