And the international finance institutions, world acclaimed ivory towers & foreign nations keep celebrating your 'fraud'.

Your madam accountability has not introduced any programme on accountability but still uses BVN, TSS & TSA that was conceived & initiated by Ngozi.

Kemi is not even qualified to be Ngozi's research assistant.

she's minister till 2019 whether you like it or not

A finance minister spends 45 mins on national television with no data, statistics & ratio presented.

Nigeria is in trouble.

The ones fashola built are already decaying … poor maintenance even with private sector.

Excuzeme:
WRONG, dude!

Its NOT her "quick thinking" that saved her.
It is the SELFLESS ATTITUDE of the Citizens and bystanders that saved her!

Let me explain:
*Would you think she could have survived if "neighbours" did not encourage her to jump?
*Did you think she would have survived if they did not gather blankets to catch her jump?
*Do you think she would not have crashed landed/died if someone did not have the sense to put CUSHIONS under the Blanket (due to her heavy weight)?

Now, if this happened in Nigeria, l can assure you two things would have taken place:

1) Most of us will be too busy "video-recording" how someone was about to jump to her death, with three children, so we can sell the video and use it to MAKE MONEY ON OUR BLOGS!

2.) Others would have been planing on how to rob whatever was on her, after she had jumped to her death! or have you not seen "my people" robbing accident victims, instead of helping them with first aid of transport to a hospital?


Our Society is so "morally decadent" that we need a MORAL REVOLUTION..... even more violent than the ones those Criminal-Senators of ours deserved!

you've never witnessed a tragedy in Nigeria before that's why you're saying this nonsense. over volunteer is even our problem. ppl video after the fact

Whether they reveal 39 priority projects or 1 priority project, the truth is that we are only spending less than 30% of our 2016 budget on infrastructure out of a total of about 6 trillion naira. This is not good enough, this is what was obtainable during the era of PGEJ hence nigerians voted for change we expected such to reflect in the budget but sadly it did not and ended up as the budget of yam.

una go gree make we sack half of civil servants

FredN:
Trust me, I know your type. Even if Akpabio had brought heaven to your door step, you will still be on the street begging for hand outs..... I wont even blame your father, am sure he is already disappointed as it is

Anyways... with your bad grammar you are unemployable.

you think it's everyone that is stoopid and gullible like you and your ancestors and descendants. continue being deceived you here. slavery wen be your portion still de do homework

FredN:
How can an adult human being, living in Nigeria ask " who the tarred road help"?...

Hmmmm I bow for such stupidity



Lived in Lagos all my life... This state has made much remarkable progress than Lagos clearly without Private investment. I will trade Fashola and Tinubu for 1/3 of Akpabio anytime


People who critisize Akpabio loudly are mostly indigent people who have not lived outside AK.

Its a pity. Strangers appreciate this place more.

your bastard father is stupid. how much rural road put into akwa Ibom ppl hand. they don't farm or manufacture anything. you better go and ask for refund from your economic teacher

This is the very first thing I'm supporting Gov. Fayose for. One needs to check the excesses of the herdsmen to at least create fear in them.

ireneony:

What is 198k compared to your worth?

First offer it is!

OKorowanta:
Up until now,I heard about his gigantic achievements in Akwa Ibom on papers.
I'm presently in Uyo since late last month on official duty.
I am absolutely blown off with wit I saw on ground.
Every forking road is tarred.
No dirts anywhere,
Still looking out for d first pothole.
Dats some achievements.
He is d only man whose body odour can drag me to the voting booth if he ever contest.
Go see as Delta dirty especially warri no thanks to mad Uduaghan.
Me! Big fan of Fashola!
I only realized Fashola did notin in Lagos afta getting here.

pls no vex but who d tarred road epp?
yes its better than other governors that stole but he could have done so much more with his allocations.(refineries,factories,farms etc that would have put money in his ppls pocket) for God sake they can't afford 90% susidised cinema ticket(=N=100 naira fa!!!)

freeze001:
Gone to the dogs...that's this country. A country who treats it's youth like this, tell me what reason they have to be patriotic. Why would they serve meritoriously and honestly if they get into any position? Why would they come to contribute their quota if they venture outside the shores of this country? Why would some not venture into lives of crime and destruction? Why would they be willing to die for a country that treats them like dirt?

This gross disregard for youths has been on for ages especially from the advent of the military; CHANGE was supposed to make the absolute difference but alas, the poster boy for the Change Campaign is a member of the old guard,the same military that kick started the rapid decline of this country.

They are fighting corruption with no iota of regard for the citizens...who died and told them that other sectors of our society do not need to function provided they are 'recovering illegally removed not stolen funds'?

do the youths regard themselves.which came first the chicken or the egg.imagine if nollywood and musicians waited for the elders.the youth should wake up and fix the country instead of biitching and moaning all the time.get up aand get some.the futuure is yours,take it

naijaking1:
Yes. GEJ was not up to it.
But Buhari, apart from blaming GEJ for everything, and rounding up his political opponents and long list of personal enemies, what else has he achieved

A. Security?
B. Employment?
C. Economy?
D. NEPA?
E. Banking, finance?
F. Better roads/airports?
G. Education?
I. Blaming GEF?

Choose all that apply.
Now you can see that Buhari has no clue to achieve all of the above except one!

apart from GSM (dem no even get choice then cos they needed phones as well) which one did pdp or gej fix. at least they unseated an incumbent. now politicians will be forced to part with some or more of their loot to win re election (David Mark) no more automatic shirt for anybody again. after like 12 yrs stomach infrastructure will turn to real infrastructure (political inflation go catch dem) then we start to enjoy dividends of democracy (slowly but steadily). whether personal or public list they are all thieves and deserve whatever they're getting. if you like go and rape somebody and argue that they should leave you because they left a judge or generals son. when they knew he was going to win why didn't they quietly return the money or implement the contracts. the idiots had 16 yrs to invest and return these billions, the fools had 3 moths to fulfill all contracts after he had won. they thought it would be business as usual where all politicians loot no matter the party. they're even lucky he is using efcc. if na me I will use sergeant Rogers dem. you will vomit the money within 72 hrs or bury your nuclear and extended family

Bobandgreat:
PDP will field aYoruba man in the next election. Confirmed. Can u see ur countenance change. I can feel u hoping its true. U are just tribalistic. Go and dress a masquerade my friend.

I'm a Yoruba man and I have never voted for any pdp Yoruba man. even tinubu, we just needed a devil to counter pdp demons. hopefully we'll be left with water and salt instead of acid and base. it's Ibo ppl that vote foolishly for ppl that do not have their interests at heart. at least we got free education from awolowo, what did you get from zik or ojukwu

MamaOO:
I'd advise you to stay put in Nigeria. Canada is one of the worst hit countries right now who are laying off workers in the oil and gas sector. Although Canada is immigrant friendly, the jobs are not there in abundance. Lots of Canadians in the oil and gas field are looking for jobs in the US and even those in the US are unwilling to hire because they are also hit by the oil crunch and laying off their workers as well

You also mentioned that your admission came with no scholarship? Like seriously? You had a first class from Nigeria. You wanna spend all your life savings on a masters in Canada whereas you can get into grad school in the US with full tuition waiver based on your GPA and tests scores. You better be wise and evaluate well.

I'm even beginning to doubt the first class sef. all d whole pali and d mumu no fit reason and make informed decision. the poverty and sorrow wen go deal with am de do fasting and prayer

nanizle:
My advice for you is to go ahead with your Masters plan for three reasons.
1. 4+ years experience in the bag already. Getting a job or starting something yourself should not be difficult.
2. Top university in Canada. That will surely open many more opportunities that would otherwise not come your way.
3. Highly valuable overseas work experience/exposure. highly likely after the program

Furthermore, an MSc (from Canada's top school for that matter) will definitely help a lot in your pursuit of a Phd (I hope you do so and add to the body of scientific knowledge. Who knows? you may discover the next big thing! )

You seem to be a smart chap so take the opportunity!

Remember say you don dey old .

Addressing your worries:
1. Already comfortable life here: I bet you would be more comfortable in Canada... with the exception of their cold weather. All my friends wey dey school for Canada dey very very comfortable... more dan dem dey for naija.
2. Racism: Racism... maybe, maybe not. But what about tribalism here in naija? I'm sure you can handle whatever racist experience you may encounter.
3. culture I'm not familiar with: Well... good point, but aren't you looking forward to experience another culture? A more civilized one for that matter.

Abeg spend some time away from naija wahala. If you can make it here in Nigeria, you can make it anywhere in the world in my opinion.

how many of your friends had oil company job here

bicmitchum:
This is a point in my life where I really need other opinions about my pending decision.
Here are the points:

-I graduated first class some years ago after completing studies at the University of Lagos
-Secured numerous masters admission with and without scholarship and intended to go for masters immediately, but got an attractive job offer with an oil multinational. Took the job offer.
-I've worked now about 4+ years with this multinational and the going has been incredibly terrific. Even with the incredible layoffs in my company and in the oil industry, it looks very likely I'll continue to keep my job.
-Every year I have continued to apply for masters in universities abroad given my intention to really acquire a masters and possibly a PhD degree. Never once accepted any of the offers I have been getting. Simply ignored them. As the years rolled by, the offers are no longer coming as usual. I'm getting turned down by schools.
-This year I have now obtained an offer to complete my masters at the No.1 ranked university in Canada, my desired destination. The only offer I got among the top schools I applied to. No scholarships.
-I'm yet unentitled to study leave

Here's the question: do I quit my job and go complete this masters in a really reputable school or do I stay back in Nigeria and continue slugging it out in the oil industry? Who knows what will come of the industry as the oil price continues to flutter? Who knows how my future might turn out if I leave to go chase the masters?

Here's my decision: Work is getting boring as time races on. I'm not getting any younger. I'm in my very late twenties. I should quit, go chase my masters and embrace any uncertainty that may come out of that. If I'm unable to secure an attractive job I'll go with academics for life whether in Canada or in Nigeria. I might even secure a Canadian citizenship. Canada is a lovely destination where I don't mind spending a large chunk of my life.

My worry: I have a comfortable life here. Why shake the bottle? Why stir the pot? Racism is still rife in these "white" countries. My life could get unbearable mixing in a culture I'm not familiar with.

Any inputs, please.

your foolishity. knows no bounds for doing as if you can't see the way the world's is.

naijaking1:
Na when a new government has no idea how to make progress and go forward that they always look backward and blame the past.
Remember when candidate Buhari promised youth employment? It's clear now that the man and his government no get any idea how to create jobs at all; talkless, well paying jobs.
You can't refute this if you do, I 'll bet you.
Instead, you will blame, GEJ, OBJ, Yardua, Shonekan, Abacha, IBB, Buhari, Shagari, Gowon, Ironsi, Tafawa---->down to Lord Lugard.
Can't you do better?

BTW do you know how to create jobs, (just in case you become president governor or lga chairman by mistake ) talk is cheap

bet you sef did you believe he had a magic wand. I just wanted pdp out. at least we can have respite from pdp for 4 years. and enjoy watching them squirm in efcc net .and if we are truly lucky Audu ogbeh and fashola will not fall our hand. (far fetched but I de pray) but seriously I believe the competition BTW both parties will force them to '''bribe''' voters with dividends of democracy (hopefully tractors and cottage industries instead of rice) patapata anything was is and will always be better than pdp even tinubu as crooked as he is

jmichlins:
From making pencils in the next 4yrs to masquerade this administration has the most stup!d job creation ideas. Next election is not far we are close to the first year

at least they have ideas. 7 million ppl visit South Africa and spend on Airlines hotels food and souvenirs. what did pdp do for the last 50 yrs

EgusiSoup:


What did Nigerians do to deserve this?

voting for rice. pdp o not apc (they just following the low bar that ppl set before them?

gypsey:
yes BA flies direct from nigeria to london for people travelling to the UK or from nigeria to london and a conecting flight to the US from london With American airline, for people travelling to the US. you do not have to fly direct. besides a 17 hours long haul is not very healthy.

not 17 long haul. 17 layover plus the 12 hr long haul. that's why ppl manage d arik like dat.

Quakertellicus1:
For once I agree with PDP Okupe.

Nigeria at the moment does not have enough cash to sustain a big civil service. So...we have to start sacking excess workers.

(Unless someone here has a secret plan to get OPEC to raise oil prices to $123 per barrel....which is what we need to balance the books.).

Ghana did it in the late 1980's. Harsh....but in the long run...a good idea.

Yes PDP should have saved....but that would have just delayed this decision by two years.

or set up government coporations (farms and factories )and post the excess workers there,let them sink or swim

Khd95:
Apc is a scam

pdp is worse



the military should come in,ASAP

aaaahh you wan scatter every be dat.make we just de move small small.slow and steady wins he race.from pdp to stomach infrastructure to coordinating minister to super minister to....hopefully some development

Party of zombies, by zombies and for zombies.

Would you blame APC??... They will keep churning out tripe and balderdash because they know the sizeable number of the population are zombified citizens.
