No big deal. Happens everywhere in the world. The country is bigger than anyone individual and as one falls another rises in his place. It shocks most because of the Nigerianess in us. Best of luck moving forward with your career. You did better than most when it mattered.

He definitely wasn't stripped un-clad as claimed, but it was bad of Oliseh as head coach to have let things degenerate to the point of calling in security men? (men he(vincent) can pay their salaries).
What happened to managing the situation knowing that this guy just came back from burying his mumhuh
Oliseh shouldn't tow Siasia's hardline rule oo, we all saw how that panned out for everyone(Nigerians, d Eagles & him too!) sad
Yes 'pay their salaries'. You can always expect Nigerians to fly the money card in everything about life and living. Not surprised we are the way we are.

Live and let live. The war against corruption is over. Nigeria has won. So much hope a year ago. Told you guys it is systemic, endemic, cancerous, rancorous and a mission impossible.

Enahi:
This the reason why Amechi and Tinubu have been plotting to remove Saraki by all means.

I wont be surprised to find out Saraki has reached an agreement with Tinubu and Amechi the looter. I don't think Saraki will do a good screening, he will be weak at it because
He is also corrupt.
So you can see it is impossible to run Nigeria without a corrupt government. So you can see that if corruption is the common denominator it cannot be the problem.
A year ago lots of people were gripped by the illusion, the utopia of a corrupt, squeaky clean society (well, with only them getting away with dirt). Today, reality has hit home.

Without restructuring the country many more Saraki's will continue to run the country into the forseeable future.

Corruption will not go down without a fight. Those who held this country to ransom will not stop at anything to continue their activities. Gullible workers of the power sector fail to see that their families will also suffer from their wicked acts.
We love corruption. Everybody loves corruption and by the way the corrupt will be in the new cabinet and may be in charge of power and we will end up hailing them......corrupt corruptocrats.

[size=15pt]Those saying they're disappointed never wanted PMB nor voted for him. So, we expect them to always be disappointed in whatever the president does. It's like expecting the Chief Wailer (Barcanista) or the Chief Abobaku (Chukwudi) to appreciate any action by the president. It will NEVER happen!

And anyone who actually wanted and voted for Buhari (change) must have sincerely had a reasonable expectation that those around him (Amaechi, Fashola, Lai Muhammed, Ogbonna Onu etc) would be made ministers. So, what is the disappointment in the list?

So, if you say you're disappointed, it's either you never voted for PMB or you didn't know what you were doing then. Which one? [/size]
I didn't vote for him. I don't vote for anyone because it is as pointless as planting rice in a desert or corn in a swamp. No one can change this country. By 2019 little will have changed in real terms beyond the superficial.

However those selected are about the best available and should do well.

Can we now see why corruption can never be eradicated, why it is not the biggest problem in Nigeria and why EVERYONE is involved including President Buhari, simply because as a country we cannot decide what, who, where, how corruption in. By the time the Buhari regime was overthrown some of the serving ministers had become multi-millionaires in dollar terms (names on request) right under his nose. Even his number 2 will not pass muster in today's asset declaration regime. We knew then, we know now. The thing doesn't just work. Just wasting their time.
Business › Re: You’re Killing Local Manufacturers –MAN Alerts CBN by Reference(m): 7:54pm On Oct 05, 2015
PassingShot:
Things will get worse before they get better. Nigeria cannot afford to continue with business as usual. It is what brought us to where we are.

Had the last govt succeeded in staying put, Nigeria would have become a failed state as the FG was already borrowing to pay its employees.


So, CBN is wrong to attempt to stop dollarization of the economy by simply making it impossible to deposit dollars in local accounts? See reasoning!

In as much as I understand that some genuine businesses will be affected by the CBN policy in the short run, the long run picture which is the overall interest of Nigeria should be of higher concern/value. No sane country allows dollarization of her economy by a privileged few who are mostly thieving politicians.
Pursuing thieving politicians at the expense of the economy abi. Continue to push him. 1984 reloading. Ask those old enough exactly what happened then. Facts not hearsay even if you will not say it out. We learn nothing in this country because we know very little about how things work or fail to work in Nigeria.

They mix governance with politics, security with politics, the economy with politics. Your boss is mixing his business with politics and you follow into the mud pit mixing your job with politics. Just like our ignorant politicians cannot draw the line so you silly fellow cannot. Let us see how your beloved government will lift you out of your misery. I think they got you the job in the first place abi.

Now this is blatant hypocrisy... Shame on him.

It is because of people like him that make criticising those that are seemingly happy that the bombings still continue in the present administration difficult.
Indeed but you have to try. The terrible politicization of grave national issues in the past must not be repeated. I warned then. I warn again. All Boko Haram needs is a political split to weaken the State since it appears that their attempt at driving a tribal then a religious wedge between Nigerians faltered years ago.
What they lost in that they have gained in political divisions since our politics has descended into the ethno-religious mud pit.

For one to be secretly or openly wishing and willing BH prevails and continues for political gains or revenge in my opinion is tantamount to unpatriotism at best and sedition at worst. Unfortunately the ruling party and certain high profile members were guilty of this in a time not long gone. The viscious cycle must stop. It is killing the soul of this country.

A lot to learn from this statement!
And why do we fight one another. Why is this insurgency so hard to halt and why did it explode in the first place. Why is corruption so soundly entrenched in this country. These are the roots an objective government should be targetting backed by a sensible people but they pursue the symptoms, cut the branches alone so the whole thing blooms. We need fresh ideas to develop this country not the same thing regime after regime.

You are still relating government corruption to the raging insurgency. What is wrong with you people. Now that corruption is 'dead' why has the insurgency not died with it. Please enough of this rhetoric. We need fresh ideas. This corruption CD is getting worn. The public is increasingly seeing that corruption is not the all and end all of our problems in Nigeria. Just a smokescreen to avoid reforming the country by the owners of Nigeria.

This country is in a mess with views like this. And I urge the government as a matter of urgency to enter into dialogue with these people. At least the elements that can potentially see reason.

The interesting thing about this list is that Nigerians once again are inquisitive about the project called Nigeria unlike what happened in the past that nobody cares.
It is because there is practically nothing going on as far as governance is concerned. The atmosphere in the country is just sureal. Like an idle couple what else do you do.....make babies. Nothing else to talk about in Nigeria. Either Boko, Saraki or List.

And I am happy you folks can no longer yelp and rail government for every evil under the sun. That is the beauty of democracy. It humbles, it brings into focus, it elevates the thinking. Now we know government cannot bring heaven on earth. It can only 'DO ITS BEST'. Haha. Told you so. Now get up and take responsibility for your country.

I don't know why PDP supporters are happy about this I think it is true that some people will die in poverty for a few people to be rich. Tom Polo's contract does nothing for the poor people in the Niger Delta and we hope that this more serious FG will ensure good service delivery and also force the man to employ a lot of youths otherwise it is just killing the Niger Delta. It is stupid to enrich a few people like Jonathan started. These are generational issues and the whole thing stupidly unsustainable. If Tom Polo dies today what happens?.
Nigerians keep their brains dead and just continue to move about like the living dead because of sentiments.
It is stupid to enrich a few Nigerians like Jonathan started. Just hear yourself

1. Is it today that Presidents have been enriching people. Which President has not awarded exploration licenses to friends and family. Mention one from Obasanjo I to Yaradua.

2. If it is stupid how come it was acceptable before Jonathan now it is not. Does 'stupid' have a term limit.

Your problem is that it concerns a Niger-Deltan President giving favour to a Niger-Deltan indigene. Shame. The Mai-Deribe's, TY Danjuma's and Alakija's (to mention a few) were not Petroleum Engineers, Petrochemical experts of any kind when they were awarded blocs and

3. How have these people improved their communities, States and the nation at large. Is it not them and their families alone.

Shame, shame, shame.

Am not from the Niger-Delta but I have lived and worked there. Those people deserve every penny they get legally or illegally, individually or communally because since oil was discovered there 40 years ago they have stood by and watched what you criticise them of doing now been done to them. Nigeria has no case as far as I am concerned.

See what corruption can do. Turned him to a lame dog. As functional as a defender with a yellow card when his team already has a man sent off.

If he resigns or is kicked out Buhari gets a rubber stamp. Even worse.

Nigeria is always between a rock and a hard place. Fedrick Forsythe calls it 'the Devil's Alternative.'
