ProfDumbledor:
As we anxiously await cabinet shake-up by PMB, here are candid recommendations for sack:

1.Yemi Adeosun: the worst ever minister of finance. Naive, clueless with a false sense of achievement.
2. CBN governor: confused, naive and incompetent
3. Fashola: too busy doing absolutely nothing. He doesn't have a clue at all. He should be stripped of power and housing ministries.
4. Yemi Osibanjo: Was amazed when he blamed forex crisis on corruption n pipeline vandalism. He doesn't have a clue about the economy and therefore should be removed as the head of the economic team. A more competent technocrat should be appointed.
5. Udo Udoma: a disaster and a square peg in a round hole. Shouldn't have any business with budget and national planning. Ben Akabueze should replace him.
6. Customs boss: a disgrace to customs. A man with an ethnic agenda.
7. DSS boss: another man with an ethnic agenda. DSS is now an enemy of the people.
8. Babachir Lawal: an arrogant, clueless and corrupt grass cutter.
9. Education minister: lol. A career accountant heading such an impotant sector. No wonder education in Nigeria is in coma.
10. Health minister: a reverred classroom professor but definitely incompetent in managing the health sector. Old, slow in action, divisive and unreceptive to new ideas.

1. What exactly makes her the worst of all finance ministers?... She was made a finance minister at the worst possible economic season; it makes no sense judging the performance of a doctor treating heart failure based on the performance of a doctor treating common flu. Nigeria is a pathetic import dependent country which relies on oil export for over 90% of its forex income. Any hit to Nigeria's oil income and the country's economy would be wrecked; this is the exact scenario playing out today (this fact can never be overemphasised). Even the Harvard trained NOI couldn't do a thing when oil prices started dropping; our reserves nosedived, Naira devalued (from N160 to N220), GDP growth rate nosedived, next to nothing was budgeted for capital development in 2015, the FG borrowed money to pay worker salaries, fuel importers were owed for 9 months and NOI herself at the timed warned of terrible days ahead. Luckily for the last crew, they bailed out just before the pangs of the economic crisis started hitting the common man on the streets. But then in summary, current happenings cannot be used as a fair ground to judge the performance of the current minister against her predecessors.

2. I agree with you on this one simply for one reason, I see no reason why they still maintain the 100 different exchange rates especially as this is the only policy which several economists have collectively faulted. If he's been forced to do that under duress by anyone, he should speak up like CBN governors before him who spoke out against their bosses. If he can't speak up, then I'm sorry, we just have to take it that the fault is all his because he is in charge of monetary policy and should be able to exercise his independent.

3. Fashola is performing very well in my opinion. It's rather irrational for anyone to expect Fashola to give them light with the snap of a finger considering the dilapidated rotten state of our power infrastructure. Fashola is not God who spake and light appeared.

4. This is a joke from you right?... You really think the Professor is ignorant for saying pipeline vandalism and corruption are major factors in the forex crisis?.. If you really need to know the ignorant one, kindly look at your mirror in the afternoon.

5. To the best of my knowledge, Ben Akabueze works with Udoma to produce our budgets. I'm not trying to defend Udoma (cos I dont see anything which he has done spectacular), but I think Akabueze also works in the same office and should equally be liable for any mess.

6. The Customs boss isn't doing a bad job in my opinion; not quite sure I understand what you mean by this ethnic agenda.

7. No objections, the hitherto quiet and respected DSS seems to be a lot in the news lately for the wrong reasons.

8. I concur, the man is tainted and remains a impediment to the famed integrity of the current govt.

9. Not sure I really know what to expect from an education minister and I've got no clue what the current guy is even up to (good or bad). But then, I never really liked the idea of appointing him the senior minister ahead of a Professor of education who was a former VC of a university.

10. Don't have a clue what the current health minister is up to whether good or bad.

randomperson:
The church is a place full or scandals. It's only that the church leaders are experts in covering it up. When the rate or paedophilia in the catholic church was exposed, we were all shocked... It's just that this sulaiman is a particularly easy target. The man talks damn too much!

To clarify your statement further, the WORLD is a place full of scandals, and the church is just a part of the world, and the people in the church are as human as the people in the world.

CROWNWEALTH019:
why not ?

lol.. kontinuu!

el rufai and buhari would suffer for this blackmail.... the Man of God would come back stronger ....

davo90tico:
is mtn not at fault for the few that got blown? I mean look at the Samsung Galaxy s7 blowing up very few blew up and as am speaking there are peeps still using it without problems but they Samsung were blamed you kinda get my point now abi?

Naa... the Samsung galaxy note7 case is clearly different because the exact same case of the phone exploding was reported widespread in different parts of the world. If it was just 10 or 20 phones blowing up say in London, they wouldn't have recalled the phone worldwide. In fact there has been several cases of iphones blowing up but the cases were isolated and not representative of all iphones.

I understand your great trust in the pastor's unbendable character, if he was my pastor or my close relative, who knows? maybe I may likely stand my ground too and argue that he's infallible. But then, this is just me being me, this is just me being a truster of no one because I have seen and heard and experienced things in my life which make me believe that 100% trust is a luxury which I shouldn't be able to afford.

davo90tico:
good point
but I can 100000000% vouch for the apostle

Hmm, okay

davo90tico:
bro but who is to blame for the 4 Sims? isn't it mtn at fault? that's all I want you to answer

4 sims are bad is not enough to write off over 50 million sims; that I say the sim cards being sold in a particular MTN shop in my estate are bad, that does not in any way mean that i am writing off or rubbishing all MTN sims in the country.

davo90tico:
bro the comes a time when you know what your father is capable of doing when you have been with him for long.
this isn't the first time peeps have tried to kill his reputation my man and those times they have said plenty and more things than this lady has compiled that's why am sure bro

The mother monkey says she cannot vouch for the baby she carries on her back because the baby might have plucked and consumed a banana without her knowledge. I'm sorry, I can't vouch for anybody in this life especially when it comes to matters of the flesh (the worst temptation ever). Very great men in history have fallen for the forbidden fruit, even men who were very close to God's heart from the bible days to date. Except i am sure the person is castrated or clearly impotent, I would be very naive to think I can vouch for anyone.

davo90tico:
also bro I Dont agree with you with this example
if you bought three mtn lines,0803,0813,0814 and all were very bad and you tried again and bought let's say 0806 and experienced the same thing will you say it's not mtn with the problem? or say mtn is bigger than any single sim? so you get why I tell you this is a fight against Christendom as well GOD BLESS

I buy 4 different MTN sims and they are all bad, the typical thing I would do is to QUICKLY assume all MTN sims are bad. But then, because Im a smarter person, I would ask questions to confirm if it's just me being unlucky or if everyone else experiences the same problem. For all i care, it may just be a particular batch of MTN sims in that particular shop in my street which are bad; so definitely when i give it a broader thought, I wouldn't be making a hasty generalisation that MTN sims are bad.

So once again yeah, MTN is bigger than those 4 sims you purchased from that particular shop. If everybody across nigeria isn't complaining about the same problem, then it is not a general problem. In summary, an issue against a particular pastor cannot be termed an attack against Christendom cos Christendom is bigger than just one pastor. God bless!

davo90tico:
bro I am 1000% sure she us lying about it

I agree with you, I am also 100% sure her story isn't true. But then again, I can't say I'm 100% sure that the pastor's version of the story is 100% true. So I typically keep an open mind in things like this.

davo90tico:
Bro anyone can make mistakes fine and good
but this case is different it's the case of a woman looking for fame at the expense of apostle and Christendom she isn't just fighting him falsely but attacking Christianity and trust me her judgement is coming faster than she can run she still has time to repent but she must enjoy the fruit of her lies GOD BLESS YOU BRO

Something deep in me tells me you can't really blackmail a person if the person hasn't compromised at all. Remember the statement 'no smoke without fire'? While this statement may not always hold true, it is usually true most of the time.

No doubts, it is clear the girl is trying to blackmail the man, but for you to conclude 101% that the man is as saint in this case is quite naive. The way Nigerians (and Africans at large) rush to defend pastors as infallible saints is ridiculous too. And finally, please it's not every time you see people having an issue with a pastor that you conclude the person is fighting Christianity; Christianity is bigger than any single pastor.

greenmonk:
I wonder how people who claim to be educated believed the word of an international call girl against that of a clergy because they want to pull him down.
God has vindicated his own.

davo90tico:
Thank God for people like you bro you are blessed

I wonder how some Nigerians actually just believe that because a person is a pastor, so therefore he is a demi-god who can never make mistakes. Attention, he is a 'Man' of God and not a god. This is not me judging any case or making any conclusions though, but its quite weird the way some people's minds are wired to think that a mere mortal is infallible.

Boss13:
Apostle Suleiman is a proud man and that will be his downfall. Initially the news went public, he was quick to deny Stephanie and claim APC were after him. He later agree to knowing Stephanie, but never met her in person. He also agreed to sending her monies to start a business because he wanted her to have a change of lifestyle. He denied having Stephanie arrested and claimed it was the police. However, he made the petition. He staged his wife to deny the pictures that they were photoshopped. He sent his lawyers to threaten Keyamo and report him to disciplinary committee instead of a competent court.

Now, Keyamo is training people to speak like him. Apostle Suleiman should remember the COZA pastor, he accepted his fate and asked for forgiveness. That man now has moved on and I believed he has learnt his lessons. Also his church members did not run away because they believe afterall he is human and prone to make mistake. However Suleiman does not want to be perceived as being infallible. He has forgotten how he took that lady on a trip to Napoli and gave her offering money. He has forgotten how he took her to New York and escorted her 4am because he wants to be discrete.

Shame on you Apostle Suleiman!

I don't remember COZA pastor accepting any fate or apologising to anyone; If my memory serves me right, he said he would give a 'robust response' to the allegations but then, he never did; he then totally ignored the allegations until the world forgot it. That's the step I would have expected the Apostle to take cos things like this are very sensitive and could destroy what's been built for ages.

niceprof:
They will fail as usual.Who can battle with the Lord ?

The real question in this case which begs for answers is, "who is on the Lord's side in this case?"

Na wa for allegation oh!

What problem does this pastor have with Keyamo?... I would have thought the man's focus should be on the girl accusing and possibly trying to blackmail him, how come his entire focus is on the lawyers hired by the girl?

With the weird twists in this issue, i'm beginning to suspect there is really more to this and the man is trying to hide something cos I'm not sure I understand this movie any more.

Na wa oo.. At this rate, I guess if Buhari passes away the entire northern Nigeria would just commit suicide

Na wa oo.. I guess if Buhari passes away the entire northern Nigeria would just commit suicide

Wow! She's been waiting patiently in za oza room.

Miles300:
With all this heavy injections get it's still 399 like it was at the bdc , same 305 at inter bank fx ..... So where all the injection dey go ...

They need to be injecting in the range of $1 to 2 billion weekly for you to see that effect.

tinktanker:
U c how things are getting beta? That's the difference between a blessed man n a cursed man, a literate man and an illiterate man

This isn't the first time the Naira would appreciate after the CBN injects dollars into the system. It also happened at different times in the last year so there's really nothing to rejoice about yet untill we see that they can sustain the pumping of forex into the system weekly.

SalamRushdie:
You are a big liar ... Do u know under Buhari we lost 100 billion dollars in revenue due to his short sightedness

All the money lost was lost because of the efforts made to ensure that the nation's reserves did not fall to zero, thereby saving us from a Venezuelan or Zimbabwean crisis. When the oil prices started falling in mid-2014, with the rate at which the reserves were falling before Buhari took over, if that downward momentum wasn't checkmated, you and your family would have been in IDP camps by now.

So if those inevitable restrictions which saved the country from hell is what you call short-sightedness, then it is clear who the short-sighted ones are.

I'm not sure I understand this movie any more... Is he suing the girl or is he suing the girl's lawyers?

I'm not understanding this movie... Is it the girl they are suing or is he suing her lawyers?

Goke7:
what if pdp wants to hold a rally too? they will allow them ba cos they never killed anyone during their own reign

This just shows ipob is just a political tool being used as decoy for secession.

It's advisable for ipob to register as a political party as they are one or else how is APC's rally their business.

Someone needs to reveal ipob's true identity! They sound more like a political party these days!

Do you need a soothsayer to tell you that Ipob is just nothing but a gathering of disgruntled jonathanians who have been unable to get over election loss of almost 2 years ago?

You are a silly mischievous lowlife idiot. Your mischievous out on NL is well documented. How could you need an explanation to know that the bridge is solid if you are not a useless mischievous dunce?

This same way you go about NL defending Okoroawusa anf his useless propaganda 'projects' has exposed you as a hopeless soul-less daft but you have the guts to question a project being done by a performing governor.

Like I said before, focus on your useless, pillaged, backward and worthless Imo state because you know nothing about quality project.


[s][/s]

Okay you win.. I'm an idiot and you are not. And I'd be a bigger idiot if I keep honouring you with further attention. Nice day!

The black man's barbarism...

ruggedized1:
You are a freaking bastard to think that I don't know what you are upto. How can you look at such a solid bridge and have issues with it if you are not a mentally deranged Idiot who should rather go and check his eye challenge or face your useless and worthless Imo state where there's no such bridge to even show. If you want to preach about useless and substandard projects face your hopeless Imo state because that's where it is a stock in trade.

[s][/s]

Sorry to disappoint you but not everyone falls in the category of retarded lowlifes who jump around online fighting inter-tribal or inter-state stupid contests which bring about no benefit but just ridicule; my history on Nairaland is there for you perusal to confirm that you are the only silly one here.

I made a simple observation and a sensible individual (Chiefobdk1) answered my question satisfactorily. And then you jump into my mention with your foolishness thinking I'm also into your stupid tribal and inter-state fighting fellowship?... Sorry boy, I am not in your thinking category, piss off

ruggedized1:
Nwokem go anf focus on your useless and worthless Imo state that has nothing to show as development. You think everyone is as useless and hopeless as Okoroawusa. Bridges all over the world has a standard measurement for pillars. Maybe the problem is from your eyes.


[s][/s]

Of course I expected a silly response like this from one or two petty folks who instead of sticking to the discussion and giving valid educative responses, will jump in to politicise, tribalise or state-alise every single topic because that is all their brain power can produce. You think everyone you meet online is into your useless inter-state wars that make you look like kids? No wonder we are where we are today as a country, too many shallow minds around.

The legs of the bridge looks rather thin in my eyes, hopefully it is safe.

owobokiri:
Sorry, i have to do it again:

If the vice president was/is anything different from the pack, i expected him to calmly observe his so called birthday and move on.. This country is in a dire state now; violent uprising here and there, hunger, recession, accidents, roaring suicides and all that.... In the midst of all that, folks willl turn the TV at nine for evening news and what will they see? Not a presidential move or policy statement to alleviate their sufferings., No! What they will see is a vice president , deputizing for a thoroughly rudderless and incapacitated president busy cutting fat cakes, dancing skelewu ontop of their pains! Reminds you of one tacky Gowon celebrating his marriage while the country lost millions in a war! Priorities.., priorities ma people... Osibande can do better. I heard he is a pastor, so what with all that presidential noise? People are dying and their president is Awol while the vice is busy partying like P-Diddy? What comes over them in that Abuja sef?

Na wa oo... so much bitterness! Yes you have the right to criticise people especially when you don't like them or don't approve of their ways, but at least we can play the opposition with a bit of decency. A man quietly celebrating his birthday with his family in his house (on the other thread), and then cutting a cake in the office with his staff, is this what you term 'noisy celebration' or PARTYING? Or should he order everyone around to quit taking pictures in order to please you?
