Uwazuruike is on his way to meet Nnamdi Kanu.

these guys never thought for once that GEJ Government will one day come to an end.

Every group is now an economic analyst group. OK; kontinu.

Pure lie. Adebayo Shittu's name has just been read out for screening by the senate.

Jail Suswan

Jail Akpabio

Jail Uduaghan

Jail immediate former Aba Governor


And Buhari would have send the right message.

I can not agree less to this write up. I can say I was a victim of this write up. But thank God I have found my way and turn it around for better but the unfortunate thing is that not everybody that will have the opportunity for a second chance.

If you are in these age bracket and you are reading this article; you should count yourself fortunate and begin to have a rethink about your life. There is no time; this is the most productive age of one's life and it should not be wasted.

Op thank you for this write up.

Intelligent response. We know the whole government businesses evolve through processes but even in the process there are underground deals that happens. Fash; we understand; go and sin no more.


By far you are the best among the nominees in my opinion. God bless Nigeria and Nigerians.

James manager. He was just meditating; lol.


Bodi no b firewood oooo

I can not but agree with this write up. Buhari left it too late thinking the senators will all queue behind his political ideology.

But the good news is that all hope is not lost because no one can underestimate the Executive powers of the Nigerian president. I expect him to soon start stepping on toes which I know Buhari will not be afraid to do at this stage of his life.

[color=#006600][/color][quote author=TonyeBarcanista post=38762179]Buhari ministerial list contains names of yesteryears politicians, some of them woefully failed in their previous office. While some of us are not happy with the recycling, the question I beg to ask is "Are the youths prepared for leadership?".

The Attitude of Nigeria Youth:
I understand that the youths of Nigeria like their African counterpart are seriously challenged economically. I understand that we are faced with the thought of "when are we taking over?" But looking at the nigerian youth, you will see one that is ready to stake his life and intellect to butt-lick and defend failed politicians with hope that the 'politicians' enroll them into their payroll and/or make them unofficial PA. The youths are scattered on social media from twitter, facebook, Nairaland etc and even on the street with readiness to be eternal stooge for politicians. Is it not a Nigerian youth that carries placard in protest against prosecutors and to show support to politicians that have been indicted for crimes? Which other part of the world can one find such?

Our Youths Have No Zeal To Lead:
The youths keep saying 'give us a chance' but have they shown willingness and zeal to lead? How many of our youths are members of political parties? How many are thinking of picking party forms to vie for political offices? The minimum age to run for Local government chairman, Federal House of Representatives and State House of Assembly offices is 30, For Senate and Office of the Governor, the minimum age is 35. How many of our 30-40years old have shown the zeal and passion to run for these offices? How many have shown the zeal to run for their Local Government Chairmanship elections? How many youths within the 25 and 35 age bracket are passionate about representing their wards as councillors? How then can there be power shift when there is no zeal to lead? Does power come on a platter of gold?

May I remind the youths that Bola Tinubu first ran for Senate(and won) at the age of 40? Rabiu Kwankwaso was first elected Member/Deputy Speaker of House of Representative in 1992 at the age of 36. Ayo Fayose was 43years when he ran for Governor against an incumbent and PDP elite in 2003. At 37, Owelle Rochas Okorocha first ran for Governor of Imo state in 1999(he lost). At 41 he vied for the Presidency in 2003(he lost). He was however appointed Special Adviser to President Obasanjo. At 35 Musliu Obanikoro was the NRC Caretaker Chairman for Surulere Local Government. All these men started WITHOUT a godfather. They however showed the zeal to lead, today they are moving from one office to another.

Our Youths Must Wake Up:
Leadership comes with responsibilities. I am not a fan of 'gifting' people with political offices, but instead I believe in supporting young visionaries for political offices. For young people to lead, they have to join/support political parties of choice. They must intelligently contribute to party growth, show willingness and readiness to lead, and pick forms for elective offices. Don't be discouraged whether you win or lose the election because the zeal will prepare and position you for other positions (appointments) that usually comes AFTER every election. If appointment didn't come, the next for years will definitely provide another opportunity to vie for elective/appointive position. Who says a youth cannot be the a national officer of his party(apart from youth leader)?


Finally, leadership is not a gift, it must be earned. If the youths really want generational shift, they must show willingness to lead. As at now, the youths are just not prepared for leadership.

How old are you? Suddenly you have turn to a preacher.

Kudos to NPF if the news is true. These bastards must be brought to justice.

[color=#990000][/color][quote author=TonyeBarcanista post=38947472]The Senate once again proved that they are nothing but glorified rubber stamp[/quote



Were you expecting the senate to reject the nominees from been screened?

With all this seasonal film from the senate, it will be shameful for them if at the end, they still end up screening Amaech as a minister.


Something tells me Amaechi will pull through.

@op 4get old age ooo
Nature no knw young or old
No one can cheat nature

This is one of the reasons why investors always feel reluctant to invest in Nigeria. Our politicians are too corrupt.
To be honest, i could not read everything. Too much
