Now, elective offices can pass from Fathers, to sons to grandsons in a flawless transition.

True ,if in doubt ask the sarakis

Very stupid bill

how many 40 yer old have ever signed up for presidency,35 for Governors and the house,you've not had representation within that bracket and you are now reducing to 25yrs.

Very simple watch the decadence begin as politicians sponsor their wards into power where they can manipulate them for selfish purposes,just vote or do what xx tells you.Or yahoo boys buying the highest ticket to buy immunity or vaidity to back their lack of real job experience

What young person wants to address babangid or objs yawa,it's like the rumour then of adedibu ordering the then governor of oyo to bring 14m of his security vote monthly saying he was the security of ibadan, the governor refused and he got impeached

This stupid bill that puts post NYSC with no administrative experience will further weaken our country, it will make us prey to foreign manipulation for cheap.My recommendation, A proportion of representation for the house for every party must be women and youths the senate,house or corridors of the exexutive must not be lined with Nigerian youths,

Even scriptures note that woe to the land whoose king is a child
Perhaps we should start a new campaign its not just too young to run,but too weak to rule

God bless them for doing the right thing

those peace Corp people were trying to hijack the system of a whole country for selfish interest and they almost suceeded.I saw one was calling herself squadron leader and controlling traffic the order day

squadron leader ?as in? Which training? Which discipline what rubbish.So all those that went to NDA or rose through the ranks of military and paramilitary are fools when they could just buy title from one man and be paid by th FG

the next step is to arrest the man that started the nonsense on whatever charges he must have breached something I'm sure,but arrest him to serve as detergent for some yahoo boy in future not to try and use money or extortion to bend the order of things for the sake of selfish interest ever again in this country

God bless Nigeria

martineverest:
and u and Ur fellow nairaland will be busy dissing our naija royal families..... hypocrites

I hold a different view,I believe royalty should be honoured.where the word of a king is there is power


but I like what they've done with their royal family.They have used them to promote their culture and their country

I love how the British celebrate their royal family

So differentiate TIA from CVA?
So the IGP can’t read or comprehend
You are just a typical Blackman mentality .
Something is wrong you don’t care to know why ? All you do is to mock him !
I hope you are not a doctor I want to believe you are not
So in TIA loss of consciousness , how long does it last? Have you seen a TIA with full consciousness? How many have you seen or even managed? Have you heard of hypertensive crisis ? What are it’s various presentations ?
Your type is one who wil accuse an old woman of being a witch because she was seen misbehaving and talking irrationally!
This just shows how uneducated Nigerians are !

I agree with you he may have had an ongoing tia at that time as well,

but this is aphasia,and only the neurologists investigate and tell what the cause is.

There is also a preceeding video of him with challenges complying with instructions,in summary he has a neurological condition.We should all empathise with him and his family at this time it's not about pop or apc ,it's about been decent human beings

And we really need to stop dragging our countries image

6 pages of comment and nobody not 1 picked this up as aphasia a known medical condition

Seen in 25-40% of patients who recover from a stroke or tia

also seen in brain tumours,brain infections,trauma to the head ,dementia amongst others

there is another video of him laying a wreath at the remembrance day with challenges in cordination

when they say lazy Nigeria youths you all will vex,but isn't this a sure sign of laziness, not questioning a matter for the truth but peddling lies and mocking an ill person who has served the nation at a time he may be displaying signs of illness?

That said an I was said to have been hit on the head with a stone by demonstrators recently,hope it's not this man

For all those mocking his situation I will say fear God

anigold:
the truth so cold.

He has a foundation
TY Danjuma foundation is a major donor in taraba state and Nigeria https://www.tydanjumafoundation.org/

they are eager to sponsor activities to be conducted for the benefit of indigenes in taraba and for Nigerian individuals and children at large.They also work in partnership with other development partners such as the gates foundation, dangote foundation,e.t.c

It is your duty to check rather than peddling lies as truths, you owe posterity to tell the truth, and not bear false witness
it is your moral duty

You should also know the bible teaches that false witnesses die young, be careful with these matters.

God bless your courage simi

Yahoo is against our values as a people,time for all celebrities to speak up against this

Those that don't speak up support crime and evil ,they should be stripped of their endorsements

I hope those that matter are watching this trend

This is a man to whom honour is due
May you reap good for this post else the Don

Righteousness exalts a nation,core values matter.

The values of a nation are the values of its people and in this day and time our values are strongly influenced by the emerging role models who are now celebrities

And this power they must wield carefully for posterity and for the nation's future.We see their contributions heaven does too,

Again I commend elder the Don,time for other celebrities who have a conscience to speak up,yahoo boys are robbers armed with laptops,they ruin individuals and families,they distort the scheme of things and rubbish the place of hard work.They corrupt our image, our society and our progress as a people .If in doubt ask genuine bussiness men of their experiences abroad with the green passport.

They are a reproach to our land,they deserve no honour and we must all support the drive to smoke them out,

Foreign lawyer my foot

So in typical 'expatraite" manner it is expected he must be paid more than Nigerians,the crap they promote in every industry.This most stop

Secondly thought this case was in court and judgement on the matter settled a long time ago on why Nigeria should hire its own lawyers, so whats the oyibos beef exactly?

Perhaps another lame attempt at smearing the Nigerian Goverment by foreign entities,this really must stop,and yes Nigerian professionals are better on Nigerian issues anyday

Pictures mean nothing,do a score card for each sector.how many pictures do you want to put up.Write total numbers achieved by location,allow the press and the community spend their time verifying it.

It also helps Give useful feedback back to a serious goverment free of charge

You all need to stop hailing Jonathan as an economic hero,

it is irritating and annoying.
He drained our excess crude account by about 90%,
drained external reserves by about 50%
Re-incurred debts that had been cleared by his predecessor

While oil sold at an all time high of 100 dollars per barrel

If his predecessors had done the same with 30-40 dollars per barrel how would Jonathan have managed the country?
To build the Nation he should have consolidated on the gains of his predecessors (Rome was not buildt in a day).Today our reserves are growing again,our excess crude account too despite the low prices of oil,and the boys of the delta ensuring we produced at less than 50% capacity when this Government took over.So reduce whatever we were earning per barrel by half,thats the true picture.

So to Reno omokri I say "Imported rice may have been 8000,but it was at the cost of the future of Nigeria".
Its like those chiefs of old that sold 700 slaves ;not for ideas or inventions to build their society, they sold them for a mirror and empty bottles. In terms of economics,thats the reasoning and position of you and your hero.

If you must borrow oyibo culture borrow it completely

The tradition says if the guy is the one who calls of the engagement,the girl can keep the ring.Sometimes it's expensive family heirloom so he gets to loose it for all ingredients it off

If the girl calls it off,she has to return the ring

So you all had to wait for Mr Gates to give a review before naysayers could have an opinion on the EGRP. His critic is the only feedback on the plan I have seen anywhere and most of the comments including Reno and Ben Bruce on his observation are shallow at best

Here's what I understand by his welcome feedback,the plan focuses on Physical capital and development,e.g build roads and improve rails ,achieve ,self sustainance in rice,wheat and tomatoes ,improve oil and non oil revenue generation,increase income from taxation, improve savings,etc it appears Mr Gates is arguing that our EGRP should also include Human development priorities such as Education,good health care and fighting malnutrition,

Invariably he is tying successful economic growth to both physical and human development

A useful feedback for the next EGRP,prioritize not just physical but both physical and human development. but in the recession the country started with one can understand why the focus appeared to be on economic indices only,you can say they started first with what can raise capital to fund human development

That said ,Nigeria has not abandoned human development entirely ,the country through its Ministries departments and agencies such as health and education have their own plans dedicated to human development so the Local critics can review those before saying "nothing is happening" or just take a back seat

This peace corps thing is a fraud,a big fraud and I wonder how we let it go so far

if the authors of the bill were genuine they will propose a bill whose implementation will go through due process for government ownership.That includes stakeholder engage in leadership selection,training curriculum development,members engagement and recruitment

but it's the other way round,some riffrafs form a paramilitary group, select their leadership,recruit staff and members with no state government or stakeholder involvement and now you want the organisation to be an affiliate of a government Dictated to by your by laws, and paid by Goverment,does it even make sense?


The leaders of this group are plain opportunists preying on Nigerias poor rule of law and common sense,I hope someone prosecutes them on the right charges,such as fraud,acts capable of breaching the public peace etc to serve as deterrent for others in future

This peace corps thing is a fraud,a big fraud and I wonder how we let it go so far

if 5th authors of the bill were genuine they will propose a bill whose implementation will go through due process for government ownership.That includes stakeholder en age mentioned in leadership selection,training curriculum development,me needs engagement and recruitment

but it's the other way round,some riffrafs form a paramilitary group, select their leadership,recruit staff and members with no state government or stakeholder involvement and now you want the organisation to be an affiliate of a government Dictated to by your by laws, and paid by Goverment,does it even make sense?

This is why I am a firm advocate for the anti power to the youths movement,I must add I qualify for the Nigeria defiantion of youth (less than 45) but youth is not an excuse for power without the necessary knowledge

On economic growth ,macro economics especially,this Government has revived Nigeria and put her back squarely on the road to development

how does this translate to more km of roads? Read about the sukuk bond,About PPP with local companies for development, all wwith a growing reserve and growing Excess crude account.

you all need to find the economic growth and recovery plan of this country developed in concert with international experts and think tanks with local content and context and see how it is been applied literary like a bible,I challenge all youths must run critics of the present government to point out its weakness and what could be better and their proposed methodology

Please be aware it takes strong politicall will to implement policies in Nigeria,so success achieved on strategies such as 100% sign up on TSA and BVN is no mean feat,even jonathan couldnt achieve it,

funds were released for ogonni clean up despite low revenues in the country,private companies such as dNgotes and otedolas amongst others sign up for partnership with Goverment on development,non oil revenue especially Agric export is increasing,leakages are been blocked in Goverment (you cant even print tshirts and ordinary bags for govt programs,or earn more than 5% working for Goverment,TSA is working group like magic so much jamb is lying on a snake)income from taxation is increasing and savings in our reserves is returning to an all time high again

So youths with beer parlour critiicsm that cannot successfully lead a primary school class on noise makers,not to talk of university think the criteria for them to be handed the country is their age should pleasentake a back seat

Lastly my free advice to the presidents media team,rather than been attack dogs in the media,please use your heads and time to develop scorecards on our development and economic plan because we have made great growth in many areas and we may not be there yet,but the fact that we are making progress on the right indices matter and we MUST not deter those working with silly demoralising speeches

This is the mindset of an average northerner,very unrealistic,and unreasonable to the south,but still his well held firm belief.A whole VC for that matter

And this is why we need to dialogue a way out of this,you can't keep fighting with fixed firm delusions such as these at the cost of human lives,there will be no winners.

only carefully orchestrated strategies to stop the culprits,agreed upon by all will work best

Lastly these are the kind of persons our security agencies should censor for careless speech,

He explained how his family members paid a ransom and wonders why others cannot do so?asking "what is special about them"

"His university should also query his position,how do you say such publicly as a learned member of society with a revered position?

TijaniAbu:
The Minister is a lying hypocrite. Somebody that calls herself adeyemi adeosun in Nigeria and folakemi adeosun in uk because she is dodging uk tax? Her husband is also concealing his identity and face but uk authorities are waiting for her.

what exactly do you gain from this character assassination? I hope someone arrests you for this stupid post

In my books she is a shining star for those preaching team young Nigeria n's in Government. The lady is dedicated and hardworking and as seen several great initiatives through,this is just one of them

P'S I have only heard her addressed as kemi adeosun in Nigeria so I don't know what crap you are saying.

Lastly go and pay your taxes

I have logged in only to commend this post

This is the truth

we all have a responsibility to find and speak the truth
Northern Nigeria especially the North west has been ravaged by banditry for years ,whole villages have been sacked and they lie as ghost towns on the roads In these places.

These same bandits are those who robbery and pillage on the roads,anyone travelling northern roads to Nassaraw ,jos and environs may have encountered them

Presently it appears they are spreading their reach down south,and what have we done,we have labelled them as fulani herdsmen,forgetting that the very term fulani herdsmen connote a wide range of people,some of whom have Co existed with land owners for years,and everyone is labelling ALL fulani herdsmen as bandits attacking them and their families needlessly,they In return retaliate and the cycle continues.

The real culprits meanwhile (foreign bandits ) continue to cause chaos unhindered while we all fight each other,and they brazenly move their operations down south

North ,south east and west, fulani and the rest of Nigeria we all have a common enemy,they are the bandits that ravage our lqnd,we need to sit together and find a way to seive them out from our midst,the narrative matters,because only then can we work together.Silly solutions like "defend yourselves" just scratches the surface.How does a man defend his family from a marauding team with Ak 47s? We need real solutions that deal with this at the root and not ethnic or religious inflamed messages

Lastly it is our moral duty to speak the truth,it happened in Europe, an entire race (jews)were vilified and killed in millions because of the goading words of a few.I will conclude with the story of Paul.Although he did not throw the stones he held the clothes for those who did making him culpable in the death of the saints

By spinning the wrong narratives we will not find a solution,also for those supporting and edging on genocide against an entire race with Innocents within them (fulani herdsmen) remember by your very words you are culpable in any deaths that occur and their blood will also be of such a person's head

Nigeria n's are mostly irresponsible when it comes to National duty.We expect everything to be provided freely because "it is our resources"

You cannot make money from a country and not pay tax,period.Taxes have been used to build great civilizations,nations conquered others just to recover taxes from them,and here we are clamouring for growth and development ,we make money from the land but do not want to contribute our taxes.

The developed nations we all run to were built on taxes,just so you all know this is a serious initiative,like the BVN ,TSA and others the political will to implement this is sure.

Nigeria has invested time and money ensuring bilateral agreements with about 14 countries on assets of Nigeria n's abroad,trust me the finance ministry have the list.considering how Nigerians are like termites in property aqquisition, if you have properties anywhere or assets that don't match your taxes in country,,make use of the window period and regularize your tax status with no penalties or be prepared to forfeit them..

P'S I have no affiliations with Government, I know all this cos I listen closely to the Minister and her team speak on this for the last 2 years,nobody has any excuse for non compliance

To the Chris land school

While i commend the support given to your staff and your belief that he is innocent until proven guilty (a very unexpected response from a Nigeria organization).This is important so a precedence of any child accusing an adult without a fair trial is not allowed to stand

However this statement could have been written in a better wat.It does not empathise with the accuser who happens to be a child and clearly paints the suspect and the school as a victim.

that is not taking sides.Clearly the school has taken a side from this statement.this was their golden opportunity to reassure us on their measures to ensure child saftey,they chose instead to blame the parents of the child and others

This is not good for the image of an educational institution trusted to protect children

and this is why the circle of poverty and abuse continue with Nigerian women

So plus strikes and all she finally graduates at 25years from NYSC ,a girl from a poverty striclen family

gets an entry level job at 27,and her priority is getting married and pooping babies....unserious fellows

with this thinking they will remain poor and abused with income level of lower economic status for life

serious women build a carrer to break their families and themselves from been destitute.Building a carrer takes time with no place for distraction.those women who sacrice to do so are rare

those are actually the real ones to be respected.

Where they asylum seekers?

Where they peaceful in their agitations?

It is true no sane Government will allow secession in its land,but they must meet all the criteria to be handed over such as been a violent group and all

Otherwise we suppress the voices of opposition and remove the option of negotiation for progress for disenfranchised groups in Africa.

The illiteracy on display here is baffling,

For the record "it takes a village" is an adage that shows appreciation for the role of others in a person's success.Its used to express that success took the contribution of others


For example;"it takes a village to raise a child" a successful child at graduation appreciative of the efforts of all his uncles,aunts and everyone will say "it took a village"

@seun,

You need to pull down threads like this asap.

I understand that the people of Benue are grieving right now,but topics such as this and the careless comments of Nigerians are capable of inciting bigger issues that may be difficult to contain thereafter.


Let us remember a certain number of unharmed fulanis were also killed last week by Benue millitants,they also had families,they have names and photos,their inability to promote their stories on social media does not make them less Human,their inability to raise a crowd in protest does not make their loss less painfull to their families

Fulani Herdsmen=Nomadic Fulani

Not all Nomadic Fulani are killers, and these messages and unguarded comments promotes violence towards an entire race.

@ seun is that the legacy you really want for yourself and your conscience?

We must all find a solution,a way forward,inciting violence isnt the answer,neither is a one sided approach to the story or expression of grief,access to justice is important for both the Fulanis as it is important for the TIVs

While we all condole with the TIV people,I implore us all to be careful in our comments moving forward, National peace and stability should be foremost on our minds,as patriots,leaders,religious persons and Statesmen, this is our duty

greggng:
I am amazed by the comment coming out from some of us in this forum. Is comment like this that gave our leaders the audacity to treat nigerians as slaves in their country. If the country is such a fantastic place to be , would they 've left? A lot of us have been jobless for many years before the gov't came up with n power program with 30 k stipends every month. Can one in all honest tell us what 30 k can do in the life of an independent graduate? The worst part of it is that they Fran at any suggestion that talks about making beneficiaries permanent staff. Until we change our orientation and accept that no life is better than they other the only difference is the opportunity each life has. Shame to the gov't who gave such a shameful amount that cannot feed some dogs in my neborhood?

Another lazy Nigeria youth spotted.30k is about 100 dollars a month thats okay for anyone who wants a start in life and it's not about the money.Its about the platform to build experience to launch out in life.The edo returnees meanwhile were Illegal migrants abroad.those are the ones spoiling the image of an entire race and yes it has repercussions.

While I agree rehabilitation is important,in view of limited funds 1000 naira is easy enough to get them anywhere in edo.The churches, mosques,philanthropists and people like yourself should take over the rest of the rehabilitation. Not everything should be left to Goverment

And on the n power 30k a mo th no one gave me that opportunity as a young professional in Nigeria.In fact I worked for almost free for 4 years just to understand a sector gain the right experience.No one created that platform I did,I sear he'd spoke to sneak ones applied and took opportunities I found.It was difficult ,today my professional fees is in hundreds of thousands per day

This entitled mentality must stop,everyone must start somewhere and grow.And those who seek a shortcut 9th look down on others should be shunned.There is dignity in labour.And the N power program must be commended for creating opportunities for that needed car rear growth for the youths

deji17:
Nigeria's problem has never been with initiating something. The problem has always been with implementation and completion. That is where Buhari stands out.

Actually he needs to explain in lay terms,I'm glad he did.Nigerians have the habit of speaking over confidently on things they know little or nothing about.When their little or false knowledge is allowed to stand unchallenged,others chorus it like fact.

Nairaland is an opportunity to not just correct one misguided youth, but thousands that lurk in the shadows who do not know,will not read but pretend to know and will spew the same half knowledge with all confidence while criticising the output of professionals way better than they are in their chosen field

nextstep:
"Because I wasn't licensed to practice medicine last year while I was completing my studies. Now I'm fully qualified, and also have years of experience in medicine and in public policy. I also observed things during my stint in the food service industry that will inform how I can help improve health and sanitation awareness in that sector".

How do you like that? I try shay?

But I agree with your post on keeping a low profile...

unfortunately people rarely get the platform to defend themselves against first impressions.Other candidates more professional and deemed ready for the position will be contacted instead

Eventually he or she will get team lead after time and effort speaks clearly but this post is an example of impressions that can delay the process

This young man is not very wise.I have observed his activities on social media for some time now (you can't help but notice him) I have noticed he is unguarded in his utterances and what he reveals.this is another example


This is not wise for many reasons the first been he has lowered his career worth at negotiations with this simple post.

1.Why should I pay you so much when you were clearly struggling to survive last year,or give you a high position your salary history must not be that high

2.The first thing I see when I Google your name as my potential staff is this picture and image.thats not good for any brand

3.This is what is called demystifying oneself publicly.

You only put up such posts after you have been established in the industry and known for excellence not before

but like I said young man unguarded in his public comportment

3.

I commend the ministry of power and whoever wrote this statement.

It follows all the principles of public relations in managing information after a crises.What happened,why it happened,what's been done,how it will be resolved

Kudos to the ministry.More like this from all ministries. Perpertual wailers should keep wailing,
