[size=13pt]I have said this time without number, I absolutely do not give a damn about the tribe of whoever buhari chooses to appoint. I have so many things I'm looking forward to from this government and having a person from my tribe being appointed into position is the last thing on my priority list. I am way too educated, enlightened and exposed to condescend to such petty level of reasoning by rejoicing because someone from my tribe was given an appointment.

For all I care, PMB can appoint his entire cabinet from Sudan or Chad, all I need is just a working system with a certain level of sanity.

....and yeah, anyone who isn't happy with Buhari should stop distracting us with unecessary wailings, you should either slam your heads against the nearest brickwall or you could dust your PVCs and wait patiently for 2019.[/size]

sunnyb0b0:
And you are not senselessly petty by thinking that people shouldn't vote their choice in a democracy?

Smh

kindly point out where I mentioned or implied that you shouldnt vote your choice?

I can see Obama is stealing ideas from GEJ; this must be part of Obama's 'transformation' a-gender

sunnyb0b0:
Who is the winner? The only substantial appointment so far has gone to an Igbo man.

...and you think everyone out there is so senselessly petty in reasoning to consider success as having a tribesman appointed into a position?

KEVIND:
On CNN’s Amanpour Live Report it was reported that
Amaechi has been stacking money in different foreign
accounts.
According to the statement, Amanpour’s show said “the
sum of over 757 million U.S. dollars was stacked by
Amaechi in a foreign U.S. Bancorp/Minnesota account.”
The Integrity Group, a non-governmental organization, has
sent a petition to Buhari as well as the Economic Financial
Crimes Commission chairman to investigate Amaechi for
the over N70 billion stolen from the Rivers State
government.
This amount is separate from the N21 billion which the
PDP claims Amaechi transferred from the Power Assets
proceeds account of Access bank to the accounts of three
private companies with a 25 Trans-Amadi Road, Port
Harcourt address.
Well, is he the one that Buhari’s camp is telling us that we
will be shocked when the first looter is arrested?
Source:Sahara Reporters

Sometimes I just feel ashamed at the kind of dumb reasoning of some of you Jonathanian wailers.

1. Amanpour has a report and it is not on cnn website.
2. 'Sahara Reporters' is the source yet the story has no link and the story is also not in 'saharareporters.com'

How in earth do your brains even function in such pettiness?.... Lies and propaganda are an integral part of politics but is this the kind of wack propaganda the wailers intend to employ to win back power in 2019?

I really feel embarrassed and sorry at the same time for you guys.

cheerokee:
you're a fool, if you can't comprehend the message up there and quoting me.. lowlife imp

Jesus Christ!!

What kind of characters do we even have in Nigeria?

How can someone post a misleading topic which borders on human life, some people tried to call his attention to his error and he respond without a single remorse by throwing insults at them?

I understand sometimes some individuals are in a hurry to create a topic, hence they just copy and paste from silly blogs without bothering to read the contents, but this particular story is just a single paragraph, yet the Op couldn't spare 10 seconds to read what he posted to see the error.

Cheerokee or whatever you call yourself, you have just proven yourself to be a person without a single iota of home training or manners.

sunnyb0b0:
And the very people who carried out all the propaganda for Buhari’s election have been dumped in the garbage bin.

They are too ashamed to wail.

..and why should a winner be wailing?

The funny part of all this senseless wailing is that it is the very same people who wished buhari death that are still wailing about his appointments.

So where did the $200million go to?... Another scam may just be uncovered pretty soon. Probably the money was shared to some connected nollywood individuals without recourse to any formal process. No wonder some popular nollywood faces were ready to die ontop GEJ matter.

D guy bu ezigbote okoko

millionboi:
u r fool?.....if u dnt ve anytin important 4d op,u shut up nd stop foolin urself

People with poor upbringing usually dish out insults before they even reason.

darlenese:
I know so many broke ass lawyers, it has to do with ur mindset

I also know so many rich lawyers and like you said, the mindset is the primary factor. The Op is just a fresh graduate from one of our Nigerian universities glorified secondary. She only studied the course to pass and right now, has absolutely no idea or exposure regarding what to do with her certificate.

I woke up this morning with a lot on my mind. So much that I didn't know when tears started rolling down my cheeks.
I am getting frustrated. To think I did everything right in school to ensure I left with with a 2:1 grade. I ask myself ,where did I go wrong? To make matters worse, my family members think all is well since I am a "barrister".
I am slowly beginning to regret my decision to be a lawyer. Though I am still serving as a batch C corps member,I get scared. So scared that I may have to take up work in a firm that pays 15000 naira. God knows I have tried. I have sent out more than 200 applications, yet nothing!
Which job recuitment site have I not signed up with? This was not what I envisaged for my career when I was being called to bar. Even in the midst of the mass failure of my set, I bagged a 2.2 from law school; still nothing to show for it. I know people from my university that graduated with 3rd class now working with top law firms.
Well, I have been told to stop wasting my time by applying for associate jobs on the websites of law firms. The reason being that they rarely employ lawyers anonymously. It is mostly through recommendation or connection. God knows I really want to practice law, but the job is not forthcoming. I have my rent to pay, bills to take care of and cannot survive on 15k a month after 6 years of going to school. I am open to suggestions anyways.
Someone even adviced I start a business or learn a trade! Yes, that's how sad it is. Many may feel am overreacting. All fingers are not equal. Family members and friends I thought would be able to help out are now giving me the cold shoulder. I have cause to be worried since I am solely responsible for myself now. I can't even bear the thought of going back home to depend on my parents. If I had known it was going to be this way, I wouldn't have wasted my time and resources becoming a lawyer. What's the point? I am still looking and bringing myself to apply to firms.
After december, I may have to think of something else to do.

No you did not make a mistake studying law and you are not making a mistake by being worried this early. However, you seem not to appreciate the terrible unemployment situation in the country yet, hence you complain about unsuccessful applications even though you are still serving.

Are there opportunities out there for you to practice your profession?... The answer is yes. But coming fresh from the university, the truth is that you do not yet know what is involved or what is obtainable in your field. Now is the time for you to start networking and socialising and doing all the mingling you can. When you mingle enough with people in your profession, you would be able to appreciate the vast range of options you have as a lawyer. When you appreciate the vast range of options you have as a lawyer, then you will be able to make an informed decision on which field you intend to build your career.

Whatever the case, now is too early to give up on your course; the problem you have presently has absolutely nothing to do with your course.

God help us... This image reminds me of some horror movie scenes.

merry02:
u re a fool to v inpersonate to. Be igbo!

Such a nincompoop!

So are you insinuating that Igbos are only capable of being unreasonable?.... In your opinion, anyone who makes a reasonable comment must be a non-Igbo impersonator... You are a capital IDIOTT!!!

Nigerians have a very serious reading problem

This issue has nothing to do with Jonathan or even corruption; these are moneys which were legally declared by law abiding citizens. The real problem is knowing how much left the shores of Nigeria illegally.

asha80:
maybe because the author did not visit there..he seem to only talk about places he visited tgen

Truth is, I don't need to visit all the states to know what happens there. If something worthwhile was being done in Ebonyi, the news would filter out. I even hear more news about development from Kebi or Gombe than from Ebonyi. Since 1999, the state has always been cursed with ghost governors.

This is a very silly story from a silly author trying hard to drag traffic to a worthless blog.

princdebola201:
If the Igbo race is cursed with the horror of bad political
leadership, Abia state is afflicted with a double portion of
this curse. The state, christened God’s own state has as a
matter of fact known no real leadership. She has in the
last fifteen years and counting been saddled with men
who have no business being in leadership positions. We
have been led by touts, morons and men whose only
concern and motivation are their pockets- as deep and
bottomless as they are. Remember I earlier pointed out
that it is an affliction no state in the east has managed to
stay immune from in the last fifteen years. Here is a
troubling sample:
After four years of horror and shame under Mr
Chinweoke Mbadinuju, Anambra breathed a sigh of relief
with the false governor that was Chris Ngige and then
came the pathfinder and leader of leaders, Mr Peter Obi.
Anambra has never had it better in the last twelve-
thirteen years. Their roads are among the best in the
country, I travel from my maternal home in Owerre
Ezukalla to Awka the state capital frequently. In this over
a hundred kilometre road, you will not run into a bad
spot once. The roads are as good as Abuja roads, only
not as broad. Anambra schools boasts of quality
infrastructure and hardly do you hear the teachers
complain of being owed months of salary arrears. The
state capital is certainly not as neat as Abuja Central
district but it is infinitely neater than Aba. Now don’t get
me wrong, Anambra still has a very long way to go, there
is the problem of urban planning to address in Onitsha
and Awka, housing is still a key concern in these urban
centres and there is the general problem of
unemployment and higher environmental standards to
adopt. But since the calamity that was the reign of Mr
Mbadinuju, things have steadily looked up for the state
and her people.
Imo, after eight slow and sluggish reign of Mr Achike
Udenwa had Mr Ikedi Ohakim who spent his time
flogging a Catholic priest and abusing those who disagree
with him. Mr Ohakim revelled in self-administered
praises and shot himself in the foot when he tried to
manipulate the highly sophisticated crowd of Imo voters.
They booed him out and threw Rochas Okorocha into
the fray. I am not one of those who hold such a very high
view of Mr Okorocha but fairness mandates me to say
that he has not been a bad governor- at least by our
standard here. He has kept his promise of free and
compulsory education, regular payment of salaries and
allowances and remarkably given that state capital
Owerri a facelift. He may be guilty of talking too much, of
seeking to be too-involved in petty issues but weighed
side by side against the other governors, at least Udenwa
and Ohakim, Rochas has been a great improvement on
what used to be.
Enugu tops the chart when you talk of recovering from
what I call the years of locusts. Chimaroke Nnamani,
Ebeano, reduced the state to the very low standard of his
morals. He was everything a governor should not be.
Vindictive, tyrannical and tragically greedy. He built more
roads, schools, hospitals and other public infrastructures
on the pages of newspapers and on NTA news hour than
the average Enugu resident ever saw in his
neighbourhood. He was a massive calamity.
But luckily for Ndi Enugu, Sullivan Chime came on board
and set out to work immediately. Today, even his greatest
critic will not deny that Enugu, the metropolis at least has
better road network, the city looks more modern and
there is a certain measure of peace and harmony in the
city. Investors are coming in and the way of life appears
more sophisticated that what the case was eight years
ago. There has been no tragedy at Adoration Ground yet
and there has not been reports of thugs harassing and
maiming those who say “ we nogo gree.” Sullivan has been
a significant improvement on the disaster of the
Chimaroke years. Though, Enugu still has plenty of works
to do in terms of bringing the rural folks into the order of
things. Roads in several rural areas are bad and the
people living outside Enugu urban are yet to feel the
impact of the Sullivan magic beyond what they see on TV
and read on the papers. Then the ever present issue of
political intolerance.
But Abia, my beloved Abia has trudged from one
calamitous reign to the worst form of cursed leadership
any society could have been saddled with. Mr Orji Uzor
Kalu who ruled the state between 1999 and 2007 was by
all measure of assessment a horrible administrator and
leader. Kalu instituted mediocrity in Abia state. He made
sycophancy and plain idiocy ways of life. He reduced
sane men to beggars of bread. He did worse. He
introduced occultism as a ladder of social and political
ascension in the state. Under Kalu regime, we had a novel
form of governance called mamacracy. Kalu allowed his
mum control the levers of power in the state. The
woman, Eunice Uzor Kalu it was who said what gets done
and what is abandoned. I heard at a point that the
admission list into faculties and departments in Abia state
university Uturu and Abia Polytechnic Aba were
processed right in her 29 Nweke Street residence in Aba
or in her Igbere mansion. To become anything within the
state’s political structure, one at the time was required to
go to her house and gbachala egwusi. (Peeling of melon).
Whatever that meant. Under Kalu and mother, Abia
become the kingdom of mediocrity and occultic
practices. According to those who should know,
everyone who wanted any kind of political position in the
state- from councillorship to commissionership position
was led through several rounds of initiation rites at
shrines in Igbere, Okija and who-knows-where-else.
Absolute loyalty to the Kalu kingdom was a necessary
condition for making progress within the state’s
hierarchy. Under his reign, sorry, their reign, nothing of
note happened in Abia. His last act of wickedness was to
impose the worst man in the whole of Abia to lead the
state he left in a comatose shape.
Nothing but sheer wickedness prompted Kalu to choose
Theodore Orji and anoint him his successor even while
the man languished in Kirikiri for acts of felony and
greed.
The result today is that while Anambra’s years of locust
lasted for four years, Enugu eight, Imo twelve, Abia’s
years of locust has stretched for an interminable fifteen
years. Nothing in the horizon suggests that it would end
in the sixteenth year when Mr Theodore Orji’s horror will
run its course.
Conclusion: The Igbo race does not suffer because of
the many conspiracies hatched in Abuja or Lagos in the
past. Our problems - youth unemployment, poor
infrastructure and horrible living conditions persist
because the Igbo race has had the misfortune of being
cursed with such horrible politicians as Theodore Orji,
Orji Uzor Kalu, Chinweoke Mbadinuju, Ikedi Ohakim,
Chimaroke Nnamani, Achike Udenwa, Sam Egwu and the
commissioners and coterie of mischievous court jesters
they brought into government.

Just to point out how bad the situation truly is, while this write-up talks about the good and the bad leaders in the south-eastern states, a particular state was totally forgotten - EBONYI.

I really feel sorry for the people of Ebonyi.

THe only painful and depressing side of this story is that absolutely no one would be punished for this. I just weep for my nation.

AnanseK:
If it was Obi and his people visiting London they would be walking unclad.

You and I know that is not true

BishopMagic:
Wetin concern you sef? Why you dey take panadol for another man head?


I know the only reason you took offense is because I stated that Tinubu owns a fleet of chartered jets which APC governors in your useless region are mandated to patronise.


The useless fool you carry im matter for head mentioned Goodluck and some of his ministers without proof as those owning some of those jets.


You see how una foolish for that una slave region?


Don't mention me ever again.


Foolish slave.

Now you can see the reason why I said you urgently need mental help... you impulsively just jumped out of the blue and started insulting someone else for absolutely nothing in a totally unrelated nairaland thread. I'm sure the person you insulted is even too traumatised to respond to your lunacy because he can't just figure what had led to your mental outburst.

Now the lose nut in your brain has prompted you to conclude the region where I am from, and you have continued with the insults. I really feel sorry for your family because as they say, "na crase man brother the shame dey catch."

You really need help urgently before you run naked into a market place.

kikuyu1:
...obviously the whole BH issue played a major part in sending him home but didn't you realise they were a Western invention? Also,George Soros,a notorious Anglo Zionist proxy was very close to Buhari's Oby Ezekwelisi, via his Open Society Foundation. Fyi,this is his favourite Trojan horse for destabilisation and is much used in E Europe.


http://www.thenigerianvoice.com/news/171243/1/is-george-soros-eyeing-nigerias-presidential-elect.html

Honestly,will Buhari be an improvement? Will he fundamentally shift the 3rd world conditions in Nigeria? Knowing how the West operates is this even on the cards since they set the economic template of global equality?
Just asking.

The biggest issue that got GEJ kicked out hasn't got anything to do with the west, it was Nigerians who kicked GEJ out and the reason was simple. He was too weak in handling cases of corruption, hence under his nose, both his friends and enemies alike were plundering Nigeria. GEJ had to go to prevent Nigeria from plunging into an impending economic doom (going by the rate of looting). Even GEJ himself recognised his inability to handle the hot seat of power due to his weaknesses, hence he was more than happy to even lose the election and he excitedly conceded defeat quickly.

Just this morning, the man GEJ was spotted holidaying peacefully with his wife in a game park somewhere in Africa while some people are here wishing him back to the hot seat.

These ***** people sef.... disgracing Nigeria and Nigerians since 1914

[size=13pt]Nigeria is the only country in the world which has more private jets than commercial passenger planes.[/size]

BishopMagic:
Gerrout from my mentions you hypocrite.


Tinubu owns one of the largest charter commercial jet fleets.


Tinubu owns Ever Green Apple and First Nation Airlines.


How did he get the money?

Slave.

What does you comment have to do with the topic or what link does it have with the person you just insulted?

You seriously need psychological help.

Interesting!

Very soon another group would stage a counter rally protesting the planned investigations of missing moneys.

BishopMagic:
Tinubu owns 5 jets which your useless Southwest governors must patronise every month.


The helicopter permanently packed in Osun and Edo state governors house are owned by Tinubu


Fool

I've gone through the few comments on this thread several times trying to understand what prompted you to insult the person you just insulted.... Or is this just how you were raised by your parents?

laudate:
Guy, what assumptions did I make? You are the one who claimed it was not totally his handiwork!

How do you know this??!

I only suggested you hear the full story before making your conclusions. I personally do not know the full story but it is 'unlikely' that the entire retrenchment exercise started just last week after Mr Kachi assumed office.

kay9:
No sir, I do not think I am jumping to conclusions at all (in fact, I think you are the one doing that).

Mr. Kachi made a public announcement, so please, how is it a "premature conclusion" when I'm just commenting something he actually publicly said? Secondly, your own argument is terribly flawed; first you ask if I have "imagined" that "this could be a process that has been on for a long time..."; then you go on to say "I'm almost sure this exercise is not totally the handwork of the new GMD". If you are a simple and straight-forward person like me, then you will admit that your statements are all based on imagination and conjecture (assumption).

Yes, I certainly did NOT imagine that this process may be something else bigger or whatever, because I have no FACT or VERIFIABLE REASON to imagine so. As for the whole thing not being the GMD's handwork (as you put it), well if that is so, then I'm sorry for him. I don't go around trying to guess or imagine or assume or presume... A man's word should be his bond.

I did not in any way jump into conclusions because I did not even come to any conclusions from my statement, I only stated the likely possibilities and did not pass any judgement. In my final statement where I used the phrase "I'm almost sure," that is only a probable statement depicting a high likelihood, it was not a conclusion.

Like I just mentioned earlier, it is highly unlikely that the whole retrenchment exercise commenced just last week when the new GMD assumed office. It's not every single detail they would relay to the public in these announcements so you cannot just assume you have heard the whole story based on a single public announcement.
