Politics › Re: In Response To "Things We Have Noticed Since PMB Assumed Power" by ohzee(f): 6:15pm On Jul 12, 2015

1. We are not asking for overnight miracles but we need to be sure our govt is working. If you ask your wife for food and she says it's almost ready, yet she has not even put on the gas, won't you be worried?
2. It's not about being APC or PDP, it's about asking our leaders what their agenda is; from the local govt to the governors before the federal and checking them every step of the way.
3. If you are busy criticizing PMB and you haven't started asking your state governor about their plans for you, then we are still doing what we have been doing since 1999: absolutely nothing!!!

I will give you the advice I give others and myself.
1. Since you can't really stop giving, make a strict budget for what you are willing to part with monthly or quarterly. Tell your significant other about this to help you track it. And give yourself a deadline like 4 or 5 years when you put off the switch.
2. Make sure you invest every other cent you make. You should not keep idle funds. You can't give what you don't have.
3. Learn to say NO and teach your kids how to do same.
4. Learn to ignore calls until you have money to give.
5. Always give LESS than what somebody asks for. NEVER give the full amount

In the heat of the campaigns they said PMB will defeat BH easily because he once defeated a sect called Maitatsine.... I still remember that campaign slogan. I didn't buy into it though.

Nwobia confirmed to State House correspondents that she and members of her team were at the Presidential Villa, to brief the President of the ministry’s activities.

She said although the economy was facing challenges of drop in revenue, the nation’s finance was in good condition.

Every time OkonjoIweala said this same thing that our finances are OK she was abused and called a liar. We are waiting...

Appoint your own ministers, if you are in a hurry.

This is not about being in a hurry bro. There are some key areas that need not be left without direction. This is not about politics either. My concern is what is happening today in teaching hospitals.
If ASUU were to go on strike today we would need a minister of education to show the way forward and make the position of govt known. It's beyond the purview of the Perm Sec

We can't continue like this. There is a limit to what permanent secretaries can approve. Govt hospitals are shutting down as we speak. I don't even want to talk about fuel scarcity. I know the government is still young, but we need urgent actions please.....

Politics › We Need Ministers Please by ohzee(op): 5:46pm On Jul 07, 2015

I know a lot of people on this forum believe that ministries can run with only permanent secretaries, but I beg to differ. Resident doctors are on strike in several government hospitals because of a face-off between them and their CMDs based on interpretation of an earlier circular issued by the last administration on skipping. A minister for health would have sorted that out easily.

Can we please prevail on government to appoint ministers in some key areas like Health, Finance and Power? We can wait till next year for the rest.

I was one of the people waiting for jp to open this new thread hoping it will make front page.
Unfortunately it is unlikely to do so because it is soooo full of insults. It's really sad.

However the subsidy debate appears to have died down again because fuel scarcity has ended temporarily. Maybe with a new round of scarcity we will debate more civilly.

Let's take it easy people.

I agree with you NobleG1, especially from the snooping part (dont wanna quote you, 'cos your write-up was quite lenghty. sure many pple didn't read to the end). But I just wanna say that no "one shoe size fit all" in marriage. As much as transparency and openess is encouraged in marriage, you need to study your spouse and be sure he/she is matured enough to deal with every piece of information before sharing. Its called emotional intelligence. You are not hiding basic info, but you are holding on to not-to-important info which may generate unecessary friction In your marriage. This institution called marriage is very complex and deep, a couple is made up of two different individuals with varying paradigm. views and opinions may not always be aligned, so you need not stir up trouble with what you know is not morally wrong, but may not align with your partner's views, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT DOESN'T AFFECT THE SMOOTH RUNNING OF THE HOME! I'm not in support of privacy in marriage, but I think we should know how far is too far, especially when dealing with an immature partner. you can't change or crucify an immature partner, you can only endure till the person grows up, but in the interrim you need a survival strategy to keep the home going. I have a wealth of experience in this, I just can't type all.
cc: NobleG1

This is the best opinion so far. All these young people believe trust is automatic and 100%. It takes years to build and maintain. It has nothing to do with love, but more with maturity, tolerance and commitment. Some people read meanings into all sorts of things. That will destroy the marriage faster than any real infidelity. In such cases please lock the phones until they grow up

Trust is important in marriage but some people have real difficulty building trust. It's only natural but can be overcome by showing openness and sincerity. OP, your husband may have nothing to hide but is scared of being misinterpreted or misunderstood. Even when your phones are open you can easily misunderstand contacts, text messages, chats etc. it's possible you both are the suspicious type and if so this might help you in your early years until you prove your loyalty to each other.
People come here and paint ideal scenarios. Beware no two marriages are the same.

OP, that reminds me something. Some years back, there was this girl who came to my house to see my brother but unfortunately for her my mom was around. And asked her who she was looking for? she murmured my brother.

My mom asked her what was her relationship with my brother? She said my brother is her boyfriend. My mother became upset and said, young girl, will you leave my son alone? You aren't his future wife. More over, he's still in school and will not be getting married so soon.

While i was up watching the whole drama and laughing. My mom said young girls nowadays will not read their bible, only to go out and look for boys.

I laughed so hard then told my mom someone is coming to see me too. Hope you will not be harsh to her?.

What a foolish girl! All she needed to say is that he is a friend/classmate. This is Africa biko. She has no business introducing herself as the girlfriend. That is for your brother to do when the time is right. She got what she deserved.

Give mother and son space when they require it. When they want to talk leave them alone. Don't initiate unnecessary displays of affection but accept such graciously from your guy when in her presence.
Above all don't pretend to be a good girl. She will know instantly. Be good FOR REAL if you know a guy is serious about you then have a personal makeover and drop those habits you know you will not personally tolerate in a daughter-in-law

OP life is such a precious gift not to be taken lightly. Don't live for your husband or your children. Live for YOURSELF. In life you will have disappointments and blessings. Take them and move on. Time heals all wounnds but there will always be a scar.
Please please a cheating husband is not the end of the world. You are still very young and there is so much joy in your future. It may be without your present husband. It may also be with him. It all depends on you.
For now, take one day at a time. Fill your days with things you love to do. Pray more and learn to depend more on yourself. Treat him like an acquaintance and don't expect too much from him. Let time decide what you will do next. Don't RUSH into any decision and be careful whom you confide in. God bless you.

DPR deceiving Nigerians since 1960. Have you asked why ALL stations are selling above 87? No new imports have been ordered. The Depots sell to the petrol station owners between 105 and 110. You expect them to sell 87 abi? NNPC supplies only to their own outlets. By the time the available stock finishes the price will go to 200 or more again. What the marketers got was a POLITICAL promise from OUTGOING senators. Another round of scarcity is coming.
When DPR seals stations. They will all shut down and scarcity starts again.

PS: I made the effort to ask a petrol station manager why they are still selling high prices

Wow! That's wonderful. Could you please recall some negative aspects that comes to your mind? Tnx

I have a post on the negatives but I will oblige you. The negatives are easy to spot because they have been overhyped by the media
1. Boko Haram scourge that he underestimated until thousands lost their lives
2. Slow response to the Chibok girls kidnap due to misinformation by the moles in his office. The future will reveal the truth one day. It always does.
3. Poor management of the immigration scandal
4. Inability to consolidate his efforts in the power sector despite privatization. Nigerians still in darkness
5. Widespread impunity and corruption in govt which he got used to because it's nigeria and PDP style of doing things.
6. Lack of charisma during public media outings made his people lose interest in him. Amanpour on my mind
7. Incessant strikes especially health workers strikes
8. Prolonged ASUU and ASUP strikes. We had them in the past govts but we didn't have social media then
9. Treating allegations of missing money such as the alleged $20billion with levity
10. Giving his wife too much power
The rest are all over the place.

2. For making me start eating local rice in my house again
3. For attempting to revive trains again though not perfect
4. For making youth to think of becoming entrepreneurs
5. For encouraging people to express themselves without watching their backs for fear of being arrested or receiving a letter bomb. Dele Giwa on my mind.
6. For refusing to encourage the gay culture in our country. When your kids grow up you will thank him for this.
7. For allowing women to have more impact in governance. Some did well, others didn't
8. For making Nigerians have confidence to come out and vote on Election Day. The last time this happened in Nigeria was in 1993 and the results never saw the light of day.
9. For standing up to the USA and sourcing arms from Russia and calling their bluff.
10. For sending our bright brains and lecturers out to get better qualifications to enrich our educational sector. You may not understand that part of the reason for our poor quality education is that we lack good teachers following decades of decay in the sector by previous regimes. You can't teach what you don't know
11. For peacefully handing over power without thinking twice. If you think he didn't have a choice you must be joking.
12. For saving us from queuing for petrol for 6 years even when he knew it was not economically viable to continue to subsidize petrol. Allowing private sector to import fuel to stabilize supply at the risk of forming a cartel which they eventually did and humiliated him with it at the end.

I know my post is long and many will not read it. It's because of the decades of rot in Nigerian education

Interesting things always attract attention. Make it interesting. Avoid too much tech talk. Relate your posts to everyday practical things. Ask people for their opinion, not just giving yours. Show interest in what they have to say. Most Nigerians are not tech savvy so may not understand too much hard stuff.

However your sincerity shone above all your failings. That gladdened a lot of hearts and kept a lot of optimists hoping for better results from you. However, it was not to be. The people have spoken. No second chance. We will still see you at FEC meetings but no longer as the chairman.

Buhari's idea does not remove subsidy, it only gives the government a wider margin of control, it does not guarantee cheaper products either. I am yet to see anything new! by the time Buhari realizes that NNPC lack the capacity, he will scratch his head in disgust walahi!!

I don't think Buhari has bothered to inform himself of the true situation of things. Like most elderly men he still lives in the past. No offence. NNPC is also very corrupt. The money we are talking about can turn saints into fiends overnight. So we simply hope we don't shift the money from the cabal to a few NNPC people. NNPC monopoly of supply will also bring in an era of unprecedented scarcity.
