these are the people rooting for PMB... vainglorious folks whose affiliation to the present regime is based on cabalistic (military, ethnic, religious or familia) &/or parochial sentiments.

Ali is not being told to appear as 'Hameed Ali', he is being told to appear as the 'Comptroller-General', & it is only fair he does so in full paraphernalia.

Which "Achievement"??

why make a case out of this now again? abeg wear uniform or not...just do ur job well!

Why did he accept to head custom then? That means it also belittle custom to be headed by a retired army.

Yes, but accepting to be Customs Comptroller General will not belittle the Army. Smh

if wearing the custom uniform will belittle his achievements as an army officer, he shouldn't ve taken the job in the first place

Is that so?

This mumu2DaCore should be removed. Military achievement but e dey collect Custom salary. Naija is a failed state

shukuokukobambi:
I made a comment about the issue, you made a comment about the interviewee. Where is the concurrence you're confused about?

I know intelligent commentary isn't your strong forte but one would have thought being on a public forum should afford you the opportunity to get enlightened. Can we also also say a certain tribe of OSU east of the Niger are all thieves since the main defenders of Saraki, a Yoruba man, come from there? Or Rochas that wants to die on top Buhari matter is also an exhibition of the inhabitants of the kingdom of the yeeboe tribe? Will you die if you grow up and start focusing on issues?

Oga why are you blabbing, did he say all Afonja's are ass lickers? We knw ffk and fayose.

SalamRushdie:
Then he should leave the shameful custom job and focus on his military achievements

I think the General talking this nonsense is very very parochial...why accepting the job that belittles your career achievement . It is really a pity how some pity found themselves in position of power in the land. .Do this people have brains at all?

Kennywills7:
It's either he wears the uniform or he resign.
I didn't even take this as an issue initially but with this show of arrogance he has to wear that uniform or he bows out because he is not bigger than Nigeria

Well said. We see it coming but they said Baba can't be wrong. How can Buhari compensate his retired army friend with CS head, what happened to retired custom officers. A leader should lead by example and what example is Ali showing to his subjects.

I concur

No he didn't. He only implied you and him have comprehension issues

Well, Jemibewon already has a word for Alli, which is: 'RESIGN'. His achievements as a military man are too big for the custims' office he now occupies. Why belittling himself? If he is really honourable as he wants to make the world believe, he should just RESIGN.

I think accepting the CG job has already belittled abi besmalled all the nonsense achievements. Let him wear the uniform or relinquish the appointment.

useless talk frm useless old fool

hucienda:
But collecting salary as CG wouldn't, ehn Jemibewon?

At times one wonders what kind of knuckleheads are in naija. The kind of stupidity that comes out of some people's mouth can be sickening.

If it will belittle him, then he should resign for f*ck sake! Afterall there are 180million - 1 other folks who can do the job for naija.

Are you surprised at the kind of things Jemibewon could say? That is why we are still where we are today, because it was this skewed way of reasoning by so-called leaders like him that kept us m under developed.

It's only in Nigeria that being a general is equated with being intelligent.

The only person that can push Ali out is Buhari and that is not going happen. The earlier we move on the better him.

Ten12:
Another ass leaker of afonja tribe talking......

What brought this tribal abuse na? You cannot abuse my parents and expect a hug from me. Similar statements like the one above from a familiar bastard made Awolowo, Obasanjo, Benjamin Adekunle in conjuction with T.Y. Danjuma, Buhari, IBB, e.t.c. to use over three million stubborn goats like you from the yEast for pepper soup and suya between 1967 and 1970.

A typical military mentality. They believe they are better than every one else. The custom CG is just small template of what a twenty first century army officer thinks like. The only person that can put them in their place is the president (A pure civilian president).

Let him resign

Jemibewon? Who is he? These demented military hag's think the rest of us are lesser humans. This mentality kept us in chains. I was tempted to call this dude a fool, but I dare not; it would have been a fitting tag

Exactly

Ali do the needful and resign then .. military achievement koo military achievement nii .. the amount of money this bleeper has made as the CG of customs .. I bet he has never seen such amount of money all his life ..

... "even if the law says so..." see the kind leaders we get, them Don tell us say dem No send the law. Abeg resign ooooo, it's not by force to be CG, what message is he passing to the customs now, Other customs guys suppose do something about this guy sef, him just rubbish them before the entire nation.

It should also be shameful :

1. To represent the country when he attends meetings with custom heads of other nations

2. He should be ashamed of the PAY he gets as customs head

3. He should also be ashamed of the escorts and entitlements

This man seems to be in a fix.

Is General Jemibewon aware of the extant law of the customs that mandates serving officers to be so dressed in approved uniforms?

Does he know there is a difference between Minister of Police Affairs and Comptroller General of Custom?

Minister of Police Affairs is ceremonial, a vestige of the real not the CG of custom!

Is Pa Jemibewon in the know that Ali benefits from the perks of the office of CG?
Why not wear the uniform that represents the agency providing you all these goodies?

If it is shameful to wear a custom uniform because he once belonged to the noblest of professions, the army, why did he accept the job?

Have you noticed that Hameed Ali does not keep a clean shave which is against standard agency rules?

I can go on and on but one thing we must realise is this: this impunity evidently pervasive under this administration, where govt. officials flout the constitution the same way the ruling party shy away from election promises, is going to institutionalize official arrogance that will bring down the left ruins of what we call a nation!

this retired general just added fuel to the fire. with this publicity, ali has no choice but to appear in uniform on wednesday or risk being sacked. in two sentences he turned the citizens especially other armed personnel against the army.

UltraLeslie1:
Wearing the customs uniform is demeaning the Army? Lolz. I see why Boko Haram is ripping through the Nigeria army like hot knife does to yam.

Tell the fool Ali and his retired Nitwit, Jemibewon that the United State's customs checked the personal effects and belongings of returnee American soldiers from the gulf war!!!

The army is superior to nobody!!! These unprofessional idiots with this mindset have destroyed the credibility and profession of the army in Nigeria.

So these failed military men, Ali and co do not know that no uniform organisation is superior to the other?

And if it were to be ranked by powers, the police have more sweeping powers statutorily than any other uniform organisation in Nigeria.

If you feel too big to put on a custom uniform, and you didn't feel too big to take a custom salary, then you're a shameless, unprincipled, honour-less idiot.

Please resign and take your uncommon idiocy to your village.

Retired military men, but serving fools.

I couldn't have said it better

Woo God Bless you

SalamRushdie:
Then he should leave the shameful custom job and focus on his military achievements

It's more a matter of choice
We can continue sighting examples

Wole Soyinka also headed the Frsc and he never wore their uniform.

I think those corrupt senators should stop distracting us, I'm not distracted though, and concentrate on germane issues

but taking the job didn't be little his army achievements right? dis excuse is so dumb.
