Ali Baba is ignorant of the NYSC law:

1) NYSC does not issue EXEMPTION to everyone above 30yrs. Excemption is only for those who are ABOVE 30yrs AT THE TIME OF GRADUATION. Kemi was 22 at the time of graduation.

2) If you graduate at an age below 30 and fail to serve (like Kemi Adeosun), the NYSC law says you must serve even if you attain the age of 80. No EXCEPTION for such people.

Buhari did not drop a southerner from that position. The southerner was put there in an ACTING capacity only.

Besides, that office is too sensitive and close to the president to be given to just anyone.

Past Presidents did exactly what Buhari just did so why is it in Buharis own time that they are crying this loud?

Look at the list below

1999 - 2007
President - Olusegun Obasanjo. Region - South-West.
DG SSS - Colonel Kayode Are. Region - South-West.

2007-2010
President - Umaru Musa Yar'Adua. Region - North.
DG SSS - Afakariya Gadzama. Region - North.

2010-2015
President - Goodluck Jonathan. Region - South-South.
DG SSS - Ita Ekpenyong. Region - South-South.


2015
President - Muhammadu Buhari. Region - North.
DG SSS - Lawal Daura. Region - North.
Bichi - North

So why didn't past Presidents appoint DSS Directors from outside their regions?

Even though I'm a born again Christian, the reason why Muslim ladies are more decent than their Christian counterparts is the Islamic upbringing meted on Muslim girls. This young girl is well dressed and covered with the tenets of Islam while a visit to churches every Sundays will reveal the immorality in Christian women who wear seductive cloth to give pastors erection. No wonder prostitution is common among we Christians. I'm ashamed to be a Christian sometimes

Yup, I called them few days ago over reconnection issue and they told me premium that I formally pay 16,800 is now 19k+. I had to reason deeply if it was morally right to pay such amount monthly and why they ignored court order.
If they ignore court order, then you should know they have backers either in the executive arm or the legislator.
But to be sincere, I do not think the court have the right to tell DSTV how to run their business as the service is not a must.
All the government can do in this situation is to allow [b][/b]a level playing field with other competitors just like the telecom sector.

I don’t know which court granted that kind of injunction . This country sef


Is it by force to use DSTV? Nigerians need to know when to chill, it’s free enterprise

And some short sighted ppl are calling for state police when we still have power drunk egoistical individuals as governors who would not hesitate to abuse their powers with reckless abandon for the sake mere sentiments - Nigerians should think twice about what they are asking for.

APC was good for Oyo. APC should be returned in Oyo.

What the electorate should do is use Ajimobi to teach others like him a lesson. Defeat his candidacy to the Senate. Put his political career at a standstill.

Vote for the SDP candidate in Ajimobi senatorial constituency.

sarrki:
Ajimobi miscalculated

Pdp will take it politically now

They are good in doing that

We have too much regards for FIFA! If FIFA respects the laws of Switzerland, why can't she respect our laws? When they want a nation to host their events, they go through the government. But they say no to government interference. Double standard.

zigalo:
I really do not understand this Fifa policy of undue influence.

The Government makes cash available to NFF during preparation and participation football event. Those at the helms of affairs of the NFF somehow mismanage this funds and FIFA says the Government that provided the funds should not probe the corruption or not intervene when things are going south.

Question: What has FIFA as a body done in this whole Pinnick vs Giwa wahala ?

I think FIFA should take sole charge to football association's funding and leave the Government out of it as well.

nero2face:
I was in Lokoja yesterday and witnessed the whole drama and I've to say that we're in great danger with de way APC is going, our election process in Nigeria is Dead and it's only God that can revive it, now I understand why APC want to make sure we remain in hardship, so they can easily manipulate us with their money, u can see how people we're rushing to collect 3k to vote for APC, they reduced it to 2k yet the rush intensified, they brought it down to 1k and people were still rushing to get the money and sell their votes, I don't blame those people, they're not corrupt but hungry, we need a Messiah in Nigeria

WORDWORLD:
OGHENAOGIE GOOD MORNING.

From Third World to First, an autobiography of the founding father of Singapore. The late Lee Kuan Yew wrote this BRUTAL TRUTH.

"On the culture of coups in the 1960s: I was not optimistic about Africa. In less than 10 years after independence in 1957, Nigeria had had a coup and Ghana a failed coup. I thought their tribal loyalties were stronger than their sense of common nationhood.

On Chief Festus, Nigeria’s finance minister, in 1966: The night before the meeting, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Belewa gave us a banquet in the hotel. Raja and I were seated opposite a hefty Nigerian, Chief Festus, their finance minister.

The conversation is still fresh in my mind. He was going to retire soon, he said. He had done enough for his country and now had to look after his business, a shoe factory.

As finance minister, he had imposed a tax on imported shoes so that Nigeria could make shoes … I went to bed that night convinced that they were a different people playing to a different set of rules.

On Krobo Edusei, Ghana’s minister for presidential affairs, in 1966: On our arrival at Accra, the person who came up to the aircraft to greet me was Krobo Edusei, the minister for presidential affairs.

He had gained notoriety as a corrupt minister who had bought himself a golden bedstead, a story much publicised in the world press …

On my second night in Accra, he took me to a nightclub in Accra. He proudly announced that he was the owner and that all VIPs would enjoy their evenings there.

MORE EQUAL

On Kamuzu Banda, Malawi’s founding father: He was quite a character, with his sunglasses even indoors and at night, and his buxom young African lady companion. He looked old but spoke with vigour, waving his fly whisk to emphasise his points. (1971 Commonwealth meeting in Singapore)

On Kenneth Kaunda, Zambia’s founding father: Prime Minister Kenneth Kaunda’s major preoccupation was politics, black versus white politics, not the economics of growth for Zambia. He remained as president until the 1990s when, to his credit, he conducted a fair election and lost.

On lavish lifestyles displayed by Third World leaders at Commonwealth meetings: All leaders were equal at the conference table, but those from heavyweight countries showed that they were more equal by arriving in big private jets, the British in their VC 10s and Comets, and the Canadians in Boeings … Those African presidents whose countries were then better off, like Kenya and Nigeria, also had special aircraft.

I wondered why they did not set out to impress the world that they were poor and in dire need of assistance."


DO HAVE A GREAT DAY. ONE LOVE!

WORDWORLD:
So what happened to his supporting a ' UNITED NIGERIA' to his becoming a major leader in NIGERIA'S DISTABILIZATION, an ambition which glory was quenched by the GALLANT NIGERIAN ARMY and with a Christian by the Name Yakubu Gowon as the Commander in Chief of the Armed forces.

I hope you can see that, even at that, the Commander in Chief that fought for the unity of Nigeria was a Christian.

My whole point is very simple and straightforward, UNLESS we stop being NARROW MINDED, stop being allowed to be driven by religious and ethnic sentiments but playing our roles by our pledge to be "FAITHFUL, LOYAL AND HONEST". This land of diverse BEAUTIFUL people and most populous country of the black race so blessed with brains and all that makes a great nation will remain or better say continue in the gutters of poverty, insecurity and instability. Until our psyche is changed to one of optimism and DELIBERATE actions are made by all for PEACE, PROSPERITY AND UNITY.

I was only responding to the commenter in the language that has made a mental illness of that person. TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR SELF.

And lastly, find time to read the book written by the founding father of a today classed as a first world country, Singapore. The title of the book is 'From 3rd to 1st WORLD'. Pay attention to what this great leaders had to say about Nigeria and Africa as a whole. You can as well try to lay your hands on the documentary, still on Singapore title: FORGING A NATION.

WORDWORLD:
It's still remains HIS-STORY, story by Frederick, a point you the knowledgeable one should have grasped. So tell us a summary of HIS-STORY and how it contradicts the facts I had written. All you need do is make excerpts, THATS ALL YOU NEED DO, instead of telling me to go read a book tell us about what you have yourself read PLEASE I BEG OF YOU.

And how is Jide's story the real story?! Tell us how?

OGHENAOGIE,


"Our ignorance can be divided into problems and mysteries. When we face a problem, we may not know its solution, but we have insight, increasing knowledge, and an inkling of what we are looking for. When we face a mystery, however, we can only stare in wonder and bewilderment, not knowing what an explanation would even look like." Noam Chomsky.

The Nigerian case is not a Mystery, but a man made Problem which solution starts with 'You' and 'I' to become HONEST and DISCIPLINED in our own Domain.

FOR EACH AND EVERYONE OF US IS A LEADER AND HAS A ROLE TO PLAY IN THE PROCESS TOWARDS ALL MANIFESTATIONS.

THE FATHER, THE TEACHER, THE CAPTAIN,..........THE QUEEN.........'EVERYONE'.

THERE IS DEFINATELY A ROLE WE ALL PLAY WHICH UPON OUR DECISIONS AS LEADERS, THE LIVES OF OTHERS ARE DESTROYED OR MADE TO BLOSSOM. ITS HOW THIS VORTEX WORKS, THE DYNAMICS OF INTER-DEPENDENCY AND THE TRANSMUTATION OF ROLES.

"One for All, all for one". Remain blessed.

WORDWORLD:
So, tell us about HIS-STORY, the one that counters what I have already described above since you are the one with sense and knowledge. We are waiting........please let it be INTELLECTUAL, for it is a common practice here that people who have no intelligent thing to say are fond of INSULTS instead of going back to school to learn.

Those ones above are from the East too?!



Going by your SIGNATURE. What will you say to a person who tells you by analysis that the VERY ROOT of Nigeria's unending problems LIES is the fact that just 6 years after this supposedly GREAT COUNTRY, NIGERIA got her Independence, a COUP DOMINATED BY ,'CHRISTIAN OFFICERS' BY FACT AND TRUTH as its plotters, TRUNCATED THE FUTURE OF NIGERIA FROM ACHIEVING GREATNESS.

A coup which cost the life of Nigeria's FIRST prime minister a MUSLIM killed in cold blood, became the very beginning of Nigeria's INSTABILITY with respect to RELIGIOUS VIOLENCE.

After the failed coup by CHRISTIAN OFFICERS.

The late Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu a practicing 'CHRISTIAN' and from the Eastern part of this country which is predominatly CHRISTIANS, backed by ISREAL and the VATICAN CITY and other CHRISTIAN COUNTRIES are responsible for the chaos we all are suffering today courtesy of the CIVIL WAR inspired by CHRISTIAN FANATISM on one side and SELFISH GAINS on the other side. Am trying to use your line of thinking to talk to you.


"Biafra's attempt to leave Nigeria resulted in
the Nigerian Civil War . The state was formally recognised by Gabon , Haiti , Ivory Coast ,Tanzania and Zambia . Other nations, which did not give official recognition BUT PROVIDED SUPPORT AND ASSISTANCE TO BIAFRA, included Israel, France, Spain , Portugal , Norway, Rhodesia, South Africa and the Vatican City . Biafra also received aid from non-state actors , including Joint Church Aid , Holy Ghost Fathers of
Ireland, and under their direction Caritas
International, MarkPress and U.S. Catholic
Relief Services. [3]
SOURCE: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biafra

JUST CHECKOUT THE LIST OF THE SPONSORS OF THE PREDOMINATLY CHRISTIAN IGBO DURING THE CIVIL WAR WHICH SUCCEEDED A FAILED DOMINANTLY CHRISTIAN MILITARY COUP THAT KILLED NIGERIA'S PRIME MINISTER THAT WAS A MUSLIM, WHEN NIGERIA WAS JUST 6 YEARS OLD AT SUCH INITIAL STATE OF FORGING THE FOUNDATION FOR THE GREATEST OF A NATION.

Well, yet still following your line of thinking as to your comment.

Assuming Nigeria's first Prime Minister was OJUKWU, and the first coup plotted was by Muslim officers from Northern Nigeria and then followed by a civil war supported by Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan and other so called MUSLIM COUNTRIES what comes to mind?!

JIHAD OF COURSE!!!

BUT HAVE YOU EVER PICTURED OUR REALITY OF THE CIVIL WAR AS CHRISTIAN FANATISM?!

This country would NOT have become a mess if the christian dominated east chose peace, UNITY and progress and NOT SELFISH ENDS.
***My point is this. We should be objective with the way we analize issues and stop all this religiousity and ethnicity that clouds our mentality from the reality of what is really going on. When Jonathan was the President of Nigeria, was it enjoying TRANQUILITY, STABILITY and SECURITY?!

I get the sarcasm but I can beat my chest and say again Anambra is the state with least incident of exam malpractice. Obiano shut so many exam center that has tendency for exam malpractice this in turn affected the number of students that take exams in the state. So, when people they have highest number of candidates I just smile. Nchi apugo, atta bu ife na emeghali...okwu Igbo!
