[quote author=CROWÉ]Someone was talking about an investigation, investigation for what? He disobeyed an order and they suspend or expel him and that is as far as it goes, the rest of it is abuse of power.[/quote]Fine. What else have they done to him?

[quote author=CROWÉ]Its not utopia, it doesn't happen in developed countries, if there is no proper distribution of powers the government fails, why do you think Nigeria is a dump? It is because GEJ is king and everyone else is a goat waiting for orders.[/quote]Okay bro, if I may ask you, tell me why the Labour Party of Britain suspended sacked George Galloway. What did he do? the UK is developed, isn't it? His (Amaechi's) party punished him not GEJ, noted?

[quote author=CROWÉ]though they are in their right to try to stop him from running for ngf post all in all I knew pdp were crossing some kind of lines as well, Nigeria for you.[/quote]Good. At least you know he crossed the line.why should he go scot-free?

[quote author=CROWÉ]You know what's funny? In a federation, the president should not be able to do that.[/quote]forget utopia my brother. How many times did Obasanjo do it?

Even Sir Thomas More (the writer) would agree with me.

[quote author=CROWÉ]Sorry, a bit of clarification required if you don't mind. Did he disobey his party by suspending the local government chairman or are those two separate transgressions and if they are what exactly did he do or not do to disobey his party?[/quote]He HOA sacked the chairman even though he was advised against it by his party. In fact, he suspended the chairman before investigating his alleged wrongdoing.
His party also asked him not to contest for NGF chairmanship, he has now been suspended for his disobliging manner/action.

[quote author=CROWÉ]Sorry for asking but what exactly did Amaechi do?[/quote]He disobeyed his party. He suspended a Local Government chairman in Rivers. It has nothing to do with his NGF chairmanship. Okay now?

He would have stripped him of his police and SS escort. In fact, he would have got him impeached (with their hastily-carved wooden mace) in an NURTW motor park by now.

Even Tinubu got rid of his deputy, Mrs Bucknor, because the woman became a thorn in his flesh. Democracy ko, democracy ni

From nowhere, Femi Pedro became his deputy. The guy wasn't even a politician.

So PDP should let him be while he continues to use the party's platform to stir the hornets' nest?

As if Amaechi would take it lightly if challenged by Rivers State speaker for guber post. Ladoja of Oyo State didn't even do one-tenth of what Amaechi has done so far yet Obasanjo dealt with him ruthlessly.

APC? Is it a registered party? FFK house of commotion.

The same guy who begged senators to forgive his 'sins' just because he wanted to become a minister.

Y'all need to see what these govs are doing at LG level. They are tyrants. He's talking about democracy. What democracy. This is normal everywhere you go. I am ready to give examples of 'witch-hunt' in the UK and, of course, US of A.


Nonsense.

Jonathan did nothing wrong. This is politics. No Nigerian would accept what Mr Amaechi's up to.Obviously, he's up to no good. Imagine trying this mess with Gen. Obasanjo. Gulag niyen o.

Hahaa. How do they get their figure sef
126bn. One would think these airports are located in the best commercial hubs around the world.

Redoil: Is it the cocoyam poison [O'coco] you are talking about.

O'coco?

The same UN (and other 'united' bodies) will soon tell us to spend less on subsidy

Those youths ought to be thanking God that some of us that are leaders in the political class actually care about such issues and wish to highlight them.

Political class? In Nigeria? I laugh in Swahili. What a wa.nke.r!

The graduate unemployment rate in Nigeria is 80 per cent
http://premiumtimesng.com/opinion/136189-nasir-el-rufai-and-his-two-daughters-by-femi-fani-kayode.html

Is he now a statistician? BTW, what's the percentage when you guys were in charge of this country? Idiota!

yet these young people that are abusing and mocking my friend and brother, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, the former Minister of FCT, for saying that he has two daughters that have masters degrees but who cannot find jobs do not seem to appreciate the gravity of their own situation or understand the point that he was trying to make.
Nasir El-Rufai was simply speaking up for the very youths and jobless graduates that are now mocking and insulting him because of his comment. I assure you that his daughters will never starve and they can get jobs anywhere in the world or even end up working in any of his own numerous companies and business concerns if they so choose. He was only trying to use their plight as an example of the sad condition that Nigeria has found herself in where only two out of every ten graduates can find jobs.

Hehehe. Fani-Kayode is now an ally of El-Rufai. Now I know why they say permanent interest is politics no1 principle.

Their colleagues and age-mates from other parts of the world have jobs and they are excelling and doing well simply because they live in functional, well-organised and well-led societies whose leaders care for their welfare and the Nigerian youth but most of them just don’t get it.

There is unemployment everywhere. It is about 40% in Spain. And, there is a glut of graduates in the great UK. Italy is experiencing a huge crisis now because of unemployment.


Mr Fani-Kayode, you talk too much. As a young boy in 1998 (November, I think), I attended your hastily-arranged lecture at Premier Hotel, Ibadan, and you ranted on end for hours to the extent some reporters had to walk out on you. You rambled on and on about your rich lineage. You remember? You criticized Obasanjo and PDP so scathingly that day. You're fantasizing about AD at that time. That was probably your first lecture after years abroad. It's funny because you haven't changed much. You are still your talkative self. You are an unrepentant chancer!

"I have two daughters with Masters Degrees and they are unemployed. They have been at home for more than a year and I cannot get a job for them.

This tells me that Mallam El-Rufai believes, deeply, in nepotism and favouritism. Your daughters have Masters degrees yet they can't get a job without your help? With Masters, they are still not equipped enough to go out there and fetch for themselves? And the incorrigible Mallam had the guts (albeit misplaced) to say something like this?

So, Mallam, how do you guys do it? Tell us how to go about it. You must have done it before for you to complain about it not being possible to get a job for them right now.

Rant of a very stu.pid, myopic, deluded, weird, confused, lonely, bigoted, narrow-minded little man!

TriPorth: I had office suit in the complex between 2001-2007. And till the moment Ajimobi close down directive I have a cousin who own an office suit in the complex. Kindly give knowledge of what you know about, all the incandescent glow you see around the complex is powered by GENERATOR and connection outside the building. On the issue of the security, perchance you refer to the scum that smoke hemp in and around the place. I mean those that raid shops with guns in evenings, not night. When I got my office suit then, I had to use concrete and strong iron to rework the ceiling round the suit, this was the norm if yours hasn't got it. Go investigate or better still try carry out a research about the place. This is the first hand report/ information I'm giving you. Or the baseman that KennyG remake as restaurant, please ask questions about the place. In addition, the place has no cleaning service and so dirty. Have you ever ask why companies open up and close down few months or years in that place. Ajimobi has taken the right decision, if you have experienced what businesses go through in the complex, you will understand his decision.

2007? That's 6 years ago bro.
Do you really think all the cafes there operate on gen 24/7? I am telling you what I know. The place had electricity before Ajimobi asked them to leave. Not well connected and haphazard, I agree, but they had it. And, as at 2012, there were uniformed security guards there.

Never noticed their presence at the car park?

TriPorth: DO you know that Agbowo shopping complex is not connected to NEPA? DO you know that the complex is without water? Do you know the place is without security outfit?

You are guilty of the same thing. The place was/is connected to NEPA. And the place had/have security outfit. As for water, how many skyscrapers have water supply in Nigeria anyway?

AjanleKoko: 6. We respond much more positively to threats than to incentives. Imagine, it is assumed that you get a better response from Nigerians if you threaten to fire them, than if you promise to multiply their salary. Or to put it differently, you get better results when you threaten Nigerians than when you promise them stuff.

Very true. But, only got to know about no.6 last year sha.


In Nigeria, don't bother yourself with theory X and theory Y. Use theory X and theory X again.



Edited

Pics were taken in one of dem Ibis hotels. Cheap by their standard.

Ajumose ni ijoba Ajumobi! And people see no correlation here? Mere coinage? Huh?

Haba, guys. You can only compare Eko O Ni Baje to Oyo O Ni Daru

AjanleKoko: One cannot help but wonder if his regret is, after spending lots of hard currency educating his kids abroad, they still had to come back to Naija to pester him for job placement. Familiar story among returnee children of well-to-do Nigerians these days

Yeah but things would have panned out similarly even if they had studied in LAG. How u see am?

django1: If that one bothered you what of the akala regime? The taxis he launched that didn't survive one month and with a big picture of him on all the cabs?

I really don't get why they name everything after themselves anyway! Hopefully he won't name the roundabout bridge after himself!

No matter how you dice it though, this present admin is far far better than the past admins and even some present admins in this same country!

Those private sector businesses I mentioned is just to show people that things are actually getting better with international brands opening up everywhere! This is not the level we should be but we're getting there, if he maintains this direction believe me in 7 years time, ibadan will be among the best places to be in africa!

I'm hoping the federal government will come through with LAG-IB fast rail soon, then is when the real growth will begin!

Nigeria can work

He's okay, you're right. But, he isn't the best thing since sliced bread.
As for Akala, he's a goner and a known dumbo!

TriPorth: You beat me to this guy. Where is your TCTC all these years. On leave or holiday? You had better know what you want to say in truth before saying anything.

Okay, No insults, please. New era on Nairaland!

debosky: This creation of bus services named after the governor is a particularly annoying waste of funds.

No coherent planning or vision, but mostly an attempt to give the current leader visibility. Why not embark on enduring schemes instead?

Even his tricycles are called Keke Ajumose. Everything is Ajumose. What a fu*king numpty he is. A worthless oik!

naptu2: I'm going to add this to my list.

One thing is sure, though. You are close to those in power. Maybe in Lagos State. Or your childhood was spent in their midst. Or you are a journalist. Etc sha

debosky: We need to stop building shops, shops and more shops - there must be a better developmental vision than merely building more shops and distributing buses every couple of years.

He created his own Ajumose Shuttle (buses) in a State with an existing one, TCTC. He is self-serving. They all are. A visit to any Ministry in the State will reveal a lot about our politicians.

Take the Ministry of Environment as an example.

A table might have "Ministry of Environment" engraved on it. The chair next to it might have "Ministry of Environment and Sanitation." The ceiling fan above might be inscribed with "Ministry of Environment and Forestation."

Ajimobi also created his own. It is called "Ministry of Environment and Habitat."

As 'progressives', one would expect them to believe in continuity instead of self-evident glory.

Me-me-me mentality. Vanity!

Thank you jare. Django even mentioned KFC and a certain Cinema house as encouraging pointers.


And when you see what they call "ultra-modern" shops, you will cringe.

As in REALLY
