Lolz

They are not in any way related .

Do u know how old Folashade is and how old Tunji-Ojo is ? Except she marry her younger brother

No vex I got it wrong.

BlueRayDick:
Tunji Ojo is not Tinubu’s in-law o

It’s not about what I want , it’s about doing what is right/equitable .

Lets not major in minor, equitable is fixing the country, eradicating poverty in the land. If it would take heads of bodies being those that have directline to the president to effect the change needed; it doesnt matter where these people are from; if Tinubu chooses to spend his mandate and employ into very critical areas his trusted allies; Nigerians that voted for his should trust his judgement and then judge him on the outcome.

larride:
Are you sure? I'm just hearing this for the first time.

My bad - got it wrong.

BlueRayDick:
Tunji Ojo is not Tinubu’s in-law o

It’s not about what I want , it’s about doing what is right/equitable .

Check again, He is folashade Tinubu-Ojo husband.

Federal character!!!

Observed in ministerial appointments, always Implemented when it comes to stealing and sharing the loot.

BlueRayDick:
Yeah I remember , but his own person no supposed be totally Yoruba people now. I cheered when he appointed Yoruba as COAS, IGP and Customs DG; but now that EFCC, CBN governor , ajd other critical positions he still dey nominate Yorubas omo ….. I no know wetin to talk o.

Even some Yorubas don dey complain say na Lagos people he pack full there .

Chairman what do you people want sef? Buhari did his own - Let Tinubu do his own so far they perform should be the koko?

Tunji Ojo is inexperienced as per Naija parlance to be Minister of Interior; his strongest CV is being Tinubu son inlaw, however in his less than 3months stint he has shown potential to out perform Aregbe who came to same position with 8yrs commisioner experience + 8 Governor experience...

So let Tinubu appoint who ever he wants, if they mess up is on him, and I would blame him squarely unlike those who would rather excuse Buhari for the mess ups of his appointees.

BlueRayDick:
I don finally give up , my power don finish

Good morning

BlueRayDick:
Nigerians have been so divided in recent times that I doubt even regional government will work at this point. In states like Benue, Plateau and Nassarawa where u have Fulani, Eggon, Tiv, Junkun, Birom, Idoma, etc some groups will still shout marginalization and that their interests are not being considered in the general scheme of things.

Or is it Cross River and Akwa Ibom that have oil fields that have been subject of disputes in the past?

No different from what we have now within the states.
Cross River & Akwa Ibom would be in the same south south region so the wealth is shared.

BlueRayDick:
Gbam!

If u notice he refrenced Obsanjo's cable interview where Obasanjo made bold to say the present form of democracy we are practising in Africa is not "Domocracying" and he(Fayemi) agreed with Obj. The cable interviewer was calling different countries and their democracies and Obj kept on insisting "dem just dey play"(Including Ghana)



You know we've had this discussion in the past. Until we come together as a people to determine what system actually works for us, this current system of winner takes all that only favours the few he spoke about will always be an issue.

PS: Before anybody start goading me asking me what alternative system of government am I suggesting ; Note I'm not a political scientist and do not have any system in mind for now but I know the current system is not working

Bro, dont fall for that scam - winner always takes it all. We already have proportional representation its is called the National Assembly; after OBJ bastardised the institutions to get his way during his 8year term na now him dey realise that our democracy isn't democracying? Abegiii.

Let him go direct and just say we should return to regions, and parlimentary system no need for all these shalayes.

GloriousGbola:
this is actually why tinubu is advocating for an ERP solution

it would have been close to impossible to properly track what was being spent or mis managed when you have an editable trail and sometimes no trail at all.

for all sanusis faults, we probably would not have come to this if he had been in the seat during the Buhari years

Not when we are talking about $50billion, this is Madoff level fraud you think those orgs don't have ERP? Oyinbo to se pencil lo se eraser


You think naija corruption is due to lack off audit trail or paper trail? Not when millions of dollars are involved.
The problem I believe is the sheer number of gatekeepers that have been compromised, weak institutions.. whereby those with integrity are outliers an example is what happened in lagos where an exposed corrupt Obasa was refusing to confirm Dr. Abayomi, what does such actions say to those who take their work seriously?

I shudder at the amount of data we collect in Naija and available to goverment to fight fraud, we just choose not to use it.

Ibime:
It wasn't 50 billion, it was 18.5bln, and he didn't allege it was stolen, he included mismanagement. The truth will be billions though not 18.5

He initially stated $50billion, then revised further downwards, even you sef agree that the downward figure sef doesnt add up, so for a whole CBN governor that was reckless, hence I believe he shouldnt be the one giving us sermon without much as an apology, his credibility is tainted - no where in the world he keeps his job.

If he had integrity - he would have apologised immediately and tendered his resignation; even in the streets such inaccuracies led to plenty dead bodies.

And regarding NNPC stealing money- shey na today yansh dey for back? Wait make dem open saint Buhari NNPC book

It was actually confirmed to be true.

GEJ was a weak president and he allowed his underlings to take advantage of him
He was someone from the start that was unprepared for this office.

SLS criticizes everyone and any party. He once said he can never be a politician as he is not one to tell people what they want to hear.

Please kindly share such confirmation.

That Jonathan was a weak president is not in doubt; if he wasn't he would have used his office to make life very difficult for SLS, El- Rufai & co for all the lies they all to feather their own nest. Change Wike, Ameachi or Fayose for Jonathan and see different outcomes for these guys.

By the way how did we fare with strong president Buhari?

Ibime:
Being a critic does not make you a partisan. People like Gani, Fela, SLS criticise every single Government. SLS still could not keep his mouth shut about his Governor when on Royal Stool knowing he could be dethroned. If Dieziani was not in lockup in UK now, your criticism of his whistle blowing may have merit.

Chief leave that thing; you are a numbers person - no way a whole CBN gov would chat shit about figures, NOI challenged him, was waiting to see if 8years of Buhari would turn up the missing $50Billions God knows the country could do with such be found right now.
Nobody is saying stealing wasn't or didn't happen, my gripe with SLS is at such level and in such a sensitive role you cannot get these wrong; worse still alaye is prancing about no questions asked, no apologies? SLS too is accursed of corrupt enrichment so make him no come dey preach or bobo us.

Ibime:
Na the crux of the matter be this. Follow the numbers and you will know the prognosis for Naija. The country done cast

SLS was the first set of psycopants with his $50 billions missing BS; he was part of the gang that gave us Buhari; we don't need his preachment.

BlueRayDick:
This one no be abroadians vs naija-based residents matter . U sef u were part of the people who were against ENDSARS .

U voted buhari twice and referred to urself as one of Buhari’s biggest supporters .


Rest Don J!

My chairman wetin dey sup? your post lately has some taint of vexation

My take on this matter is nobody can fix Africa or Nigeria but ourselves, before looking at the west - we should check ourself first; na we dey enable our greedy leaders. Change is happening, 2023
Obidients caused a change, but it seem they are so fixated on the final outcome of the election that they risk failing to capitalise on the huge change and awakening of consciousness achieved.

Like I said during the election, any of the 3 candidates would be a major improvement over Buhari, I still hold that believe.

Also this is going to be controversial - and apologies if I come across as being insensitive to the plight of the average Nigerian but I believe that Tinubu being the President taking decisive decision on both FX & Subsidy was received "better" than if same decision taken by Obi, could be due to better state capture, media capture, political or tribal sentiments, lack of better political opposition, political structure, deft political moves against the loudest political oppositions.

I know it is still early days, lots of mistakes are still going to be made, but I think Nigerians have adjusted in a very shortwhile to very difficult changes, I do hope that these sacrifices are not taken for granted, hence my hope that the Obidient collective and Nigerians in general do not relent in holding government accountable.

How about safari trip to Rwanda and Tanzania? Those locations are popping even Naija based boys dey hit those spots regularly to view wildlife strictly

Hahaha - Safari tours is lovely, done 2 safari tours already with my peeps, south africa and tanzania wanted them to see different africa and not just seeing family in Naija, so going safari alone, hmmm the shalaye go plenty gaan ni o.

Nigeria can never ever cast

DR is a LOT more expensive than Naija. It's just closer to yankee and has Western creature comforts.

Chief, eniyan ma sey opolopo shalaye lati lo Naija. Then you add the cost, flight cost alone to Naija is more than cost of flights + hotel to DR, even for peeps in europe going to DR is cheaper than going to Naija.

Aint nothing cheap about Naija, have you checked the cost of known brand hotels in Naija?

raumdeuter:
Some are even doing across country code. A few of my guys dey Medellin Colombia this weekend for the 3rd time this year. Flight tickets from Texas to Medellin is $500.

Some have made Dominican Republic their 2nd home

During covid and most companies were working from home I know some guys who relocated to those countries and bought a condo. Cheaper to survive plus plenty hos in all colors

Egbon ejo ema loud update yi oo; won ti cast naija, ema je ki DR cast.

Russia that embark on special operation in Ukraine because it doesn't want NATO close to his border?

How you people think what's happening in your backyard to your neighbor doesn't concern you still dey amaze me.

Thousands are being killed in your country annually between ISWAP, Boko Haram, Herdsmen, UGM we are not able to intervene successfully, but people want to send military to intervene in Niger where no one was killed?

Did Niger intervene in the Abacha years? The military option is not an option.

Oga military intervention is expensive, we are constantly being told the country is broke; we need to kill fuel subsidy, education subsidy ati bebelo. So how would we fund this military intervension?

If na concern; we are very concerned, Akpabio can even send them prayers as well - but not concerned enough to kickstart what we don't know how it will end; cos defo it will not be bloodless.

OasisX:

Oga - this is not about Tinubu or APC, Dubai that you reside is not a democracy, but you won't swap it currently for Naija, so military intervension in Niger does not guarantee any stability; na so dem take destroy Libya in the name of democracy.

The junta has offered Tinubu an out; they would probably settle 2yrs transition after all we did 8yrs transition with IBB.

Shaytun:
So you should leave your backyard to non state actors?

How do some of you reason sef.

Who be non state actors? Bloodless coup happened next door, you guys want us to go do what exactly in Niger? Preserve and Restore democracy right - like we are practising democracy. Niger has always had its issue - Nigeria has too many problems right now, you think war is cheap?

PS: We already have ISWAP and Boko Haram so whats new? Herdmen UGM nko? Their closest kin are all saying no to any intervention, only people in the south dey shout for intervention.

Never try to outshine your master..

Prygozim fúcked around, he found out

Should we still go to war/intervene in Niger? I think with this now - Wagner group would now be answerable to Lord Putin. Tinubu better behave - leave Niger to sort themselves out... Make dem no use our head break coconut.

It will be hard to see a woman that will be okay with that arrangement, All that cook take care of house and clean is no substitute for money in the eyes of most women

Actually nothing is a substitute for money, not even fidelity, nor other room skills

Chief - In the Abroad you still have to do all these + have Money; hence with the ongoing Japa wave; alot of couples are facing issues - adjusting to the new realities is causing big problems in the home front which most especially the Men never factored.

[quote author=BlueRayDick post=125130320][/quote]Chief would you know which side of Ikate is prefferred? Left or Right side if you are coming from Lekki Phase 1? Most especially for shortlet business purposes, Thanks.

GloriousGbola:
I am sure you know better than these fantasies about altruistic leaders. The man was the head of the presidential guard. And enjoying all the benefits of being close to the seat of power. He was apparently about to be sacked. This is about securing the bag.

Why else would he be making overtures to wagner. What do you think they are doing?

You mean just like Tinubu is using this as a handy diversion on the issues on ground in Naija; nobody dey hala about subsidy, FX or student loan.

Or better still after supporting an Ex- coupist to become the worst president and set Nigeria many many years back he is afraid of military boys getting ideas whilst he is president; so just like the west and others it is all about self interest first; na the ordinary joe go suffer am.

Abi wagner group go come invade Nigeria ni? we have had ISIS et al in our backyard and lived with boko haram so all this talk of wagner group next door na wash, the real fear is our military boys getting ideas; we no too send Niger.

Some no go apply sha, they will think the vacancy was posted by ritualists

That's how absurd it is.

SMH, how? No be everything be Lamba. Chief If not for anonymity sake I for post details and receipt of the coy that provide this service for me. There are a few coys doing this and people who need there services will pay...

Call this company ask them how much they will charge you to provide executive assistant/carer per month for your 85yrs parent; this is not the one I am using, and I will delete their details after few minutes to protect their business since its seems we are okk that the richest of us brag about paying 60k to their domestic staff as wages.


We need to demand better, I remember ages ago when Bob Diamond was at Barclays and they had to increase wages for cleaners as the papers where ridiculing his pay packets in comparison to the cleaners, there is something called libing wages bro... and that 30k minimum wage is a joke..

Abi you think Oga Dayo/Ibime or Nihilist will come out and brag if they have domestic staff in Nigeria that they are being paid N60k?

Let those working for average Joe's collect average wages, whilst our big men pay premium.

larride:
White House and Buckingham Palace cleaners are paid by the state.

Do you want Benin state govt to be paying for the cleaning of Oshiomole personal residence?

To you, how much do you think the cleaner should be paid? Put it at the back of your mind that ge says that's the least amount he pays his staff.

Atleast between N150k - N200k for Osho, considering that myself a nobody and a number of people I know are paying N150k per month to coys that provide carer/cleaner in Naija to look after our Aged granny/parents - note that my granny is still active and hardly allows anybody do anything for her apart from go market, cook and clean house.

So Osho gets no applause for paying his cleaner 60k abeg... If Osho can be governor for 8yrs and collect all the mad pensions wey career Judge of 20yrs no go collect quarter, abeg him cleaner too deserve abnormal wages.

Segedinho:
Oh...I can't really applaud someone as rich as osho giving put 60k to someone who has basic info about his movements...

It isn't worth it..my bro.....


Maybe I don't regard 60k the way you see it.. ...am sorry

Bro - no need, na we the citizens dey give these guys liver to do what they are doing. How can people say Osho paying his staff N60k is more than Ok? whilst it might be Okk for regular joe like me to pay N60k; anyone working for someone of Osho's caliber deserves to earn waay more... Abi shey na same wage cleaner for Whitehouse or Buckingham palace dey earn when compared to regular cleaner?

Apart from the temptations of being around some much affluence whilst having so little, by working for Osho the cleaner or his family are at risk from those (Kidnappers, Thieves) looking to get to Osho, or those who believe he has access to wealth.

Anyway sha - I would seriously doubt this is actually what Osho pays or that this is how our socalled billionaires pay their domestic staffs.

Since when do you pay Nepa bill though?



You're a civil servant that doesn't work your contracted hours whilst collecting full salary, doesn't pay tax whilst collecting FG benefits and emoluments, and hasn't paid NEPA bill in over 3 years.

When you ask for the heads of public officials to roll, I hope you picked out a basket for your own...

WHY bro; shey this guy offend you before ni? Kilagbe Kileju?
