And to think that some people usually abuse me with the name Gambari. Some years back. Now the name can be used to make accolades regarding someone angry cheesy
Re: Profile of Ibrahim Gambari, Buhari's New Chief Of Staff by sonnie10:
2015 Presidential election was free and fair without violence, according to Gambari, the new COS from a ruling class Fulani family.

His forefathers came to Kwara from Mali as slaves and disposed a Yoruba King, Afonja in a palace coup in betrayal of a supposed Yoruba -Fulani alliance.

Today, history is repeating itself, as the failed alliance is resurrected by the same group albeit in disguise as democracy in Nigeria unto southward expansion towards Atlantic oceans.

Gambari is worst than Abba Kyari
Ambassador Dapo Fafowora on Prof Agboola Gambari*
I know him quite well. I was the one who in 1981 brought him to the UN at his request as a member of the Nigerian delegation. He was then a senior lecturer at the ABU. In fact, the late Prof Audu, who was then Foreign Minister actually advised me against inviting him to the UN. But he had strong academic credentials which impressed me. He had obtained his first degree in political science from the LSE, and a doctorate from Colombia University in New York. We were looking for strong delegates to the UN General Assembly and I considered him the kind of delegates we were looking for. So I invited him as one of our delegates to the UN General Assembly. He was at the UN in New York with me. I gave him and his wife my city apartment which I was not using free for 3 months plus a car. I liked him and I was not seeking any favours from him. After 3 months he returned home and sent me a note thanking me for giving him the first opportunity to visit the UN as a delegate and giving him his first experience at multilateral diplomacy. However, he sent President Shagari a secret and private note that while he was at the UN he observed that I had not been attending the meeting of Islamic states at the UN. President Shagari sent the note to Prof Audu who forwarded it to me in New York. He didn't even ask me for any comments on Gambari's secret memo as Prof Audu fully understood that Nigeria had traditionally not been attending meetings if the Islamic states as we were not then a member of the Group. Gambari asked for a private meeting with President Shagari which Prof Audu advised against. I was shocked that someone I had helped so much turned round to betray me so blatantly. I did not tell him I knew about the secret letter he had sent to the UN. When Shagari was overthrown by Buhari Gambari became Foreign Minister. When career ambassadors were being suddenly retired I was at first not on the list. But Gambari, now FM and Rafindadi, the head of the NSO who had worked under me in London, and was now head of the NSO worked together to secure my retirement. In fact, when I called him from New York to confirm from him news about my retirement he first denied it. Thereafter, he no longer took my calls. In fact, I remained at my post in New York for another 3 months during which the MFA tried to reverse the decision to retire me. I had done absolutely nothing wrong in my entire career in the diplomatic service and only got into trouble for helping a young academic who turned against me to fulfil his own personal ambition. Since then, he and I have only met twice in very difficult circumstances. First at a dinner by a mutual friend in New York several years after my retirement. He could barely look directly at me. He was clearly embarrassed. Then when Buhari won the elections in 2015 I headed a team that was set up to prepare a paper for him on our Foreign Policy. Subsequently, Alhaji Joda asked him to join the team. Last year, he suddenly called me to ask if I would kindly represent him at a public lecture he had agreed to chair. I told him I could not and that he should look for someone younger. He immediately hung up on me. Now, ha may be the kind of person Buhari is looking for to succeed Abba Kyari as COS. They are very much alike but Gambari is more subtle and even more dangerous and will substitute the national interests for his own personal interests. I have no doubt about that. What I have written in this long piece is just some of my personal experience and encounter with him. Everything I have written here is in my memoirs 'Lest I Forget 'which he has seen and read. It is nothing new. But I think it important that the character of our top govt officials should be revealed and not covered up. We have, as a nation, paid dearly for supporting appointments to high office that are often detrimental to our nation. Enough is enough and this has to stop.

It doesn't matter to me if you have 10 PhDs from Ivy league institutions across the globe, once you take up an appointment with the Nigerian govt.

I am old enough to know that you CANNOT outperform the president himself. Therefore, you can only shine as bright as he permits.

Why are Africans greedy?
Why don't we just know when to retire?
I don't think he's greedy. I think he was considered because younger blood like you, are not proficient enough to be considered. Opportunities will come to you, if you boost your reliability, rather than prudency.

All I can deduce from his profile is a retired and tired individual. He is a senior citizen and should better remain so. I don't see his suitability for the office of CoS. Such office requires a young vibrant fellow.

Why can't these old men reject such offers and retire to their farms in the villages? Just imagine the manner his profile was presented with proud. After serving your country with strength about 40years ago, yet you still want to serve,.....how do you now want your children become the 'leaders of tomorrow'?
Leader of tomorrow is a scam we were thought in primary school... we’ve been having “leaders from the past” that’s all that it is. I blame those that voted for Buhari... that’s all! Let the old rest, or be in advisory positions but take charge! We Africans are so greedy that we don’t know when to retire.

Can you see how myopic and unintelligent you are. You think by swearing in the name of Almighty Allah people here won't suspect you to be scammer who wants to defraud?

Let's assume I give you my Diamond bank ATM card and you use it to successfully defraud the non-governmental organisation, and the fraudulent act cast. I will be implicated since the ATM card bears my info.

Don't you think you should have channel your sense (though unintelligent) in doing legitimate stuff?
