BREAKING: 5 Deputy Comptroller-Generals Of Customs Resign

Why won't they resign? You bypassed them because you know that the next in line to take over by seniority was DCG Nwosu...you panicked, "he is Igbo and he can't be in such a position." Instead you went as far as...fear of Igbo... bringing a Northern geriatric retired army general, an outsider...something never done before... to make sure an Igbo man doesn't clinch that seat. THIS COUNTRY IS IMPLACABLY EVIL AND GOD IS ANGRY; INTENSELY ANGRY. The plan is to now assemble new DCGs with a northerner as senior to take over from the Geriatric general...he will resign within a yr or two to pave way for the prospective senior northerner DCG; you want to bet? All these while, I have been wondering why an outsider was brought in...not a DCG as customary procedure until a custom officer friend relayed me the gist of the inner politics. Is it a coincidence that 99% of all past comptroller general of customs are of Northern extraction?

Breaking: Police teargas Students, arrests NANS president for protesting unilateral sack of 13 VCs
Education News Politics Top Storiesabout 1 hour ago

The National President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) Tijani Usman was Thursday arrested by security operatives after leading a protest to challenge the unconventional sack of 13 university Vice Chancellors and their unilateral replacement by the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.
Only nine of the 13 had exhausted their tenures.
The security agency which descended violently on protesters and journalists arrested Usman while leading a blockade of the entrance of the Federal Ministry of Education. They were sitting at the entrance of the ministry when policemen began to teargas them.
The students who described the sack and replacement as illegal called for the reversal of the developments.
The Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu told reporters thereafter that no decision of the government will be reversed because somebody somewhere feels aggrieved.
“Some have made presentations and reservations and they are being looked at,” he said.
On Wednesday, Civil rights organisations shut down the entrance of the National Assembly and Ministry of Education in Abuja where they submitted petitions asking Buhari to rescind the sack.
The protesters described the sack as illegal.
Chairman of the coalition, Bassey Williams Etuk, called on President Muhammdu Buhari to relieve the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, of his appointment “because he knows nothing”.
According to Etuk, the sacking of the VCs and their replacement with people mostly from the North violated the federal character principles.
One of their placards reads: “Six Professors were taken from Bayero University, Kano as replacement… Haba! Why?”
They chanted solidarity songs, including: Adamu must go, reinstate the sacked VCs now and Nigeria needs a better administrator in the Education Ministry.”
A petition to the President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, was received on their behalf by the National Assembly Deputy Sergeant-At-Arms, Dennis Maaji.
The group gave the Minister 48 hours to reverse the sack and resign his appointment “because he doesn’t seem to understand the working of University system and administration”.
Etuk said the coalition would be heading to court to stop the sack as the tenure of five of the sacked VCs were yet to expire.
The protesters also barricaded the Federal Ministry of Education located at the Federal Secretariat, Abuja.
Etuk said: “The minister does not have any right to call for the sack of 13 Vice Chancellors.
“Nine of the 13 sacked Vice Chancellors, their tenure was to expire this last Monday.
“But four, their tenure is still running.
“Some have two years, some have one year and six months.
“What he did, which is most disrespectful to the laws of the land, is that he appointed six people, his friends, from one university.
“He appointed six professors from one university, Bayero University, Kano, and he posted them to different tertiary institutions.
“Not only that, he also appointed two professors from Katsina State, making it eight friends from the just two states in North.
“We came here to tell him that Nigeria is not a sectional country.
“We are one indivisible Nigeria, nobody should separate us.
“Nobody should play sentiments with our economy and education sectors.
“The academic community has been here even before the minister was born.
“He cannot come and change it.
“Our appeal to him is to honourably reverse the decision
“Let’s agree with him that what he did was wrong, that he did it in a haste.
“We are here to tell him that he should please reserve that decision within 48 hours with immediate effects.
“If does not do that under 48 hours, we will call for his resignation.”
Etuk said the coalition would be heading to court to stop the sack as the tenure of five of the sacked VCs

Prison await president

mbhs139:
I can't remember the last time I made any comments on nairaland but this your comment drew me out of my shell. Honestly, If there's another life I don't pray to come to Africa again. It is people like Ankio Briggs that makes the continent in general backward. Imagine her saying the cancellation of a university would course war between the north and the ND. It just shows how dumb she is. And to imagine that that's someone's mother. Gawwwwwd!!!!

henrydadon:
in my next life I will make sure I never come to Africa

Brugo:
Just look at this. Typical biafran abusing privileges. If he is punished now, they'll be screaming marginalisation.

Even a general should not abuse this uniform.

Ecoterrorism:
That man on that Zebra coat should be .....

anachy:
I think igbos should focus on manufacturing of cars,aeroplane,shoes,vehicles,cables,electronics and phones etc.

This tribe is unique and wonderful,very creative to the core, they can achieves all these mention above if given the opportunity and incentives to improve on their creative minds or motivate their efforts.

UrbanMystique:
The only thing left for this man to do is look beyond the usual one man business mentality of igbos and try to make his company a cooperate body that Nigeria can be proud of.

Flexherbal:
I think we should show our new president some respect

gunpoint:
I do remember many people from the eastcoast threatening fire and brimstone if even a toad was stepped on by fulani raiders in "biafra". They called the people who these heartless miscreants had visited mayhem on "cowards", forgetting killing and maiming has been an artform and lifestyle for this marauders for ages.
Well, the chicken is roosting in your yard now, those weapons cum plans you intend to use to unleash unimaginable retribution on the statehood of Nigeria, please bring them out for practice on this fulani subhuman types. You will have my support and goodwill for this one

lionshare:
if you call obj a thief...then you need to look for another adjective to qualify GEJ

huptin:
With all due respect sir, Obasanjo was corrupt, but he met just about $5bn in the forex reserves, with a national debt of over $38bn, but by the time he left the scene, he had paid off the debts and left about $45bn in foreign reserve and and $22bn dollars in excess crude account and guess what? The highest oil price during his tenure was just $75 with the Niger Delta crisis.

Now compare him with GEJ, he met a relatively bouyant economy, with good foreign reserves and almost all debts paid, oil was selling at $147 with the Nigerdelta crisis almost non existent, he left about $2bn in excess crude account and increased the nation,s debt, foreign reserve was down to about $30bn with pretty little to show.

If you consider the above scenarios very well, you will understand why the Yoruba's voted him out. Every Ex Nigerian head of state had been corrupt but some learnt to chop and remain, in Gej,s case, he pretty much ate the nation to the ground. In fact his finance minister had to borrow money to pay march and April 2015 salaries.

huptin:
Well you might call it what you wish' but the children of Oduduwa realized that the English had a more sophisticated technology to theirs and instead of stubbornly resisting them, they welcomed them with the intention of benefiting from the relationship. Perhaps that's what made Lagos to be a thousand years ahead of other states, as for southern solidarity, you people should have considered that' when Yoruba's went on the streets of Abuja to protest against the cabal holding GEJ hostage and eventually helping to install him albeit illegally as the president and when this same Yoruba's massively voted him in 2011 despite the fact that a Yoruba man was the vice presidential candidate to Buhari, yet at a point no Yoruba man was considered good enough by GEj to be in top 25 positions of his cabinet, if GEJ had really performed well may be the Yoruba's would not have minded' but here was someone who met billions of dollars in saving with oil selling above $100, yet he could save or invest in critical infrastructure, yet u want Yoruba to vote for him because of southern solidarity' no sir we don't roll like that, every relationship should be symbiotic.

babyfaceafrica:
His comment if true is not welcomed at this time...that said,that his his opinion.in my humble opinion I belive yorubas will work with anyone,that is why it is only yoruba in the three major regions that has the highest number of inter-regional marriages

AlPeter:
hypocrite? If you think he is not being truthful, pray tell us the truth. But remember HE WITNESSED THE WAR. This disjointed interview is a problem of the interviewer

StOla:
The more reason you should beseech the government across the 3 arms to show no mercy to those who have been found to have corruptly cornered the commonwealth and hid it inside a ground sewage tank.
