buoye1: Is he even intelligent?

10Willywilly: This is very Good, Yorubas are sophisticated people in intelligence gathering. his appointment will make Nigeria a safer place, Kudo to Jonathan.
Yorubas now have opportunity to show their skills and work for the Nation.
Congrats Ambassador Ayo Oke

naptu2: The tripod: -

State Security Service (SSS): Domestic intelligence (within Nigeria).

National Intelligence Agency (NIA): External intelligence (outside Nigeria)

Defence Intelligence Agency (comprised of DMI, DNI, DAI): military intelligence.

The SSS is supervised by the office of the National Security Adviser, while the NIA is supervised by the Foreign Affairs Ministry.

crackhaus: What exactly is the job description of the NIA, and why is an ambassador with no experience in military, logistics or intelligence being made its DG

Choommy4luv1: .........like seriously..he wil final come to his hiz sences...n by dat tym,junior n co has already deviated n digested d food...lolzzz

R2bees: 800,000 indians in Nigeria??

Le Stylo: The level of ignorance in Nigeria is unbelievably alarming. And the realisation is disturbing. The Sukuk is becoming increasingly popular because its interest-free, and is guarded by strict ethics.

Mumudom!

Ayekotoo: Jonathan wants to islamise Nigeria

Orlando Owoh: Mumu, you just come out from nowhere and start to curse. Go back to my previous post, and this one you quoted will make sense to you.

Orlando Owoh: Shut up! They were sacked because they were loyal to OBJ, Oyinlola, etc.

Orlando Owoh: If 8 ministers without any corruption allegation could be sacked by GEJ why can't Stella Oduah be sacked. Man, start using your brain.

mascot87: Goat brains

Orlando Owoh: You're wrong. Stella Oduah's office is appointive, not elective. If she is sacked, it won't amount to GEJ being dictatorial. After all the President sacked former ministers of foreign affairs, science and technology, defence, land and housing, power, etc and nothing happened.

Orlando Owoh: Once a person is accused of corruption with strong evidence to back it, it is only natural for her boss to sack since her office is appointing, not elective. Her continued stay in the FEC is a dent on the image of the already corrupt government of GEJ. When former minister of education, Fabian Osuji was accused of bribing the Senate, OBJ sacked him.

mascot87: Who cares about your views?

femmy2010: If the crowd in the pics are indeed at the gathering then PDP sure has a whole lot to worry about.
Frankly,Nigeria and Nigerians needs a change and APC seems to be the solution.
Haters should stop demonising Buhari,he seems the right person that can put Nigeria back on the part of greatness.
They say he is everything bad cos he is a moslem but they find it hard saying he is corrupt.
Nigerians should shine their eyes and not allow themselves to be cowed by the "Buhari is a killer" joke.

femogbangba: Clowning their way to Aso Rock..

deols: Being angry is normal. So is eating.

They should not have to affect each other.

Just like my being angry won't stop me from my wife duties. So shall his being angry not stop him from eating.




Looks like something to discuss before marriage sef.

cramjones: Oduduwa Republic controls Nigeria"s financial System...its going to grow once Nigeria divides so stay fast bro!

TONYE001: I explained to Monsieur le Cow-boy Idi that I would love to go to the bank as I had almost nothing with me. He disclosed that Ecobank has a branch not far from the hotel. He ordered the driver to drive towards the location.

Dakar is a very busy city. The impression of Dakar I had on Sunday was a big city with terrible roads and lots of ‘unused space’. My Monday journey presented a different city. There was barely a route to turn to that was void of traffic jam. Not even the black pedestrians were free from this as there was barely enough space to walk and swing your arms without hitting the person just next to you. It seemed to me that only old, shabby cars were allowed to be used as taxis as almost all the taxis (and buses) marked yellow and black were just few steps away from complete breakdown.

We soon arrived at the branch of Ecobank. There was no space to park. The driver made a swift stop as I and Idi jumped out. He drove off.

We crossed the busy road as I walked up to the Gauchet Automatique (ATM machine). I joined the cue.

In my wait, I observed the people of Dakar from my angle. My eyes reported a happy people walking briskly towards the directions of their affairs. Some with hand bags, others with back packs. Some in groups, others sole. There were hawkers, road side traders, newspaper vendors, beggars, and police officers on foot patrol.

As I observed, I noticed that every security agent had a holstered pistol (mostly revolvers with brown handles but I noticed a few glocks). Those with longer rifles still had their pistols holstered. I found this interesting. This also includes the private security agents (I saw a couple of them at the bank) and the whistle-blowing traffic wardens (officers)! No wonder Dakar is a relatively safe place.

I also noticed the incredible population of whites. Few driving in cars while others walked in their T-shirts, shorts, canvasses (or boots), caps, and sun glasses (it was a sunny day). Perhaps, in West Africa, Nigeria has the lowest population of westerners (just saying).

It got to my turn as I walked into the ATM room.

I slotted in my card. The machine asked me if I wanted to operate it in English or in French. I selected English (I no ready to learn French with my money I beg before I go click CLEAR MY ACCOUNT come trek dey come house..[/i]lolz). I was out in about 5 minutes.

I walked up to Idi (he was busy buying a T-shirt from a roadside seller). In no time we were back to the road, heading eastwards (I think).

“[i]Monsieur, where is the driver?” I asked as we marched.

“I asked him to look for a safe place to pack” he said.

“Ok.”

The traffic was very heavy that day. It seemed static to me.

“There is a traveling agency about 20 minutes from here” Idi said.

“Ok. That’s great. Let’s go there please” I said.

“I advise we walk down as we may not get there quickly if we use the car because of the traffic.” Idi suggested as we walked under the harsh Senegalese sun.

“That’s great monsieur. I agree with you.” I said.

Cow-boy Idi called the driver and asked him to return to the street he had dropped us and drive straight, due east. He gave him a location where he would park and wait for us.

Idi’s short legs (no insult intended) carried him in an incredible pace. I found it difficult catching up with him. We maneuvered our way through the highly dense population of pedestrians as I made sure he didn’t leave my sight.

“Wow! What’s that?” I asked pointing to a two-coached blue and yellow bus.

“We call it Dakar Deme DikK. It’s used for public transport.” He said.

I rushed for my Nikon digital camera in my bag as I tried to take a picture.

dayokanu: Whats this worthy cause that you need money for?
