You seems to have lost it completely.
Who is the incumbent president of Nigeria ?
Answering that question will go a long way in helping you to clarify issue.
And what is it with throwing "mismanage" cliche around these days, every Tom, Dick and Harry
just love to use the word to feel good.

Since ministers will still Nigeria's money , then it is better Nigeria should never have a minister again.
I will recommend you the incorruptible sage to become Nigeria's prime minister who will take over
all governmental parastatals.

By the way , have you noticed all your suggestions are anarchist manifesto ;
"kill the government because they are not needed".
The Ministers and the Senators are a major drain on Nigerian resources. We have to cut their overhead and conserve our Nigerian money so that the generality of Nigerians will see investments in electricity, education, health care, etc. We all want a functioning modern Nigerian State. Look at NASS fighting today. Are we paying them to fight?

My fervent prayer is that Nigeria will free up money for Infrastructure NOT waste our Nigerian money on the cost of governance. Is that asking too much?

You must be out of your mind to type that.
So government shouldn't appoint ministers because some states are owing workers.
Don't you think it is better Buhari resigns since he couldn't pay salary.
Buhari resign? So GEJ mismanaging Nigeria's resources is Buhari's fault? Talk about barking at the wrong tree.

Back to the subject - ministerial appointments - who needs ministers? Certainly Nigeria does not need them. These ministers need Nigeria more than Nigeria needs them. They are politicians that will end up just stealing Nigerian money.

SEE biased reporting. People just looking for an excuse to complain.

The government s struggling to pay its workers, yet these propaganda outlets are demanding that the government hire more politicians?
More people to pay wardrobe allowance, housing, bogus foreign trips - all just a drain on scarce Nigerian resources with nothing in return.

Time to do MORE with LESS.

Rather than strive to build and peacefully develop Niger Delta to become another Dubai, some Africans/ Nigerian people prefer to talk tough and make threats.

When the bombs and bullets start flying you create another Yemen . Europeans, Chinese, Americans and the rest of the world will just go back to their place and say "silly Africans destroying their place again." Niger Delta people will have no where to run to.

Grow up people.

This zoological republic of Nigeria is indeed a telling issue. Second bomb blast in one week in Maiduguri yet the Northern cabals are calling for Amnesty for their boys, having satisfied the requirement of making GEJ government ungovernable.

Jonathan was already on serious duty to dislodge this monsters then, but they voted him out. We thought Buhari already had his plans figured out on how to deal with them, having been a presidential aspirants and a customer to INEC office for four consecutive times to purchase presidential form, only to start applying the same sole tactics and steps of the ex-president Goodluck Ebele Jonathan of travelling to Niger and Chad. How do you think you can get a different result by following the same step as your prodeccessor? If he was following that step, why did you call him clueless?

While the nation goes up in flame, Tinubu and the Northern Oligarchs are still struggling whom to allocate revelant positions to. Aisha is wearing a N10 million Naira wrist watch that can feed a whole community in Daura, but she refused to make up the figure to purchase presidential candidate form for her husband who took the risk of borrowing N27.5 million bank loan to purchase the form.

.

The nation is at a stand still; the list of ministers to be appointed is still withheld in secrecy. Only Shehu Garba, his fellow fulani man of his former protocol officer; Murtala Abubakar, a fellow fulani from Kano have been appointed his ADC; and Femi Adesina of SUN Newspaper appointed too, being Tinubu's slot in the shares of the spoilt. The only position announced to the beneficiaries of the SouthEast was pressured to be withdrawn by powers that be, which is the office of the SGF named in the person of Ogbonnaya Onu. Indeed SouthEast have no future in this contraption. We are at the mercy of our traitor and the Born-To-Rule mentalist. We are politically ex-communicated and Okorocha and Ngige have repeatedly shut their mouth. This silence is no longer Gold. I am not a Biafran, I must stand and fight and rescue my people from our oppressors. Nobody is talking about this because we dont see it as open injustice since we are tenant in Nigeria. Our LandLord whom God have unjustly given the scepter of Nigeria through Lord Lugard are brutish and arbitrary of our common difference as a Nation. I am not oblivious of my passion for candour, and I will remain intrepid in championing the course as my nation's rescuer. Never will abandon my country to Northern Hausa Oligarchs, I will stand and fight

Why do I say that?

1. You write this rubbish - attacking PMB on a day that Nigerians are celebrating their new president.
2. You have NO subject matter expertise. PMB is a former Head of State, GCFR and a former GOC - Jos, a retired Major General.

After Getting into an Argument about what rank a NDA short service student graduates with, I saw browsed this piece online and decided it could help people who might need it.

So here it is... the Nigerian Military Hierarchy.

FIELD MARSHALL – The highest rank in the
Nigerian military hierarchy is Field Marshal. But
this term has never been used practically in
Nigeria, means no Nigerian has ever attained this
rank ever.

in the Nigerian military hierarchy is General. Full

ranking OF – 9.

LIEUTENANT GENERAL – Lieutenant General Rank is a high commissioned officer rank sub ordinate to General rank with a NATO ranking OF – 8, a three star rank in Nigerian military hierarchy.
Major General – A medium commissioned
officer rank with a NATO ranking OF – 7 and a

Nigerian military hierarchy.

BRIGADIER – With a NATO ranking OF – 6, this is
one star rank in the Nigerian military hierarchy.
Colonel – Rank lower to Brigadier is Colonel,
referred as Colonel of regiments. A lower level
commissioned officer rank and highest field

category is Major, a rank higher to Captain and
lower to Lieutenant Colonel with ranking OF – 3.

CAPTAIN – The next rank in the hierarchy is
Captain, the highest rank in the tactical
organization of troops with ranking OF – 2.

FIRST LIEUTENANT – First Lieutenant acts as a
deputy to the Captain. Term Lieutenant refers to
‘substitute’ to immediate superior rank with
ranking OF – 1.

SECOND LIEUTENANT – Second deputy to
Captain is Second Lieutenant, sub ordinate to
First Lieutenant with ranking OF – 1.

MASTER WARRANT OFFICER – Next rank in the
Nigerian military hierarchy is Master Warrant
Officer, an expertise leader who maintains,
operates, manages as well as administers the
military’s equipments.

WARRANT OFFICER – Warrant Officer handles all
the tasks of a Master Warrant Officer in his
absence and acts as an assistant to the same.

STAFF SERGEANT – Sub ordinate to Warrant
Officer, Staff Sergeant is a senior non

SERGEANT – A junior non commissioned military
officer sub ordinate to Staff Sergeant in the

RECRUIT / TRAINEE – The cadets who have just
joined Nigerian military are at the lowest level of

NDA SS graduates comes out with First or Second Lieutenant depending on your grade.

Nonsense.

The project is in Yorubaland, the vision for the project was orchestrated by Yoruba men and women.

I will not edit the post because the poster is wishing that the project fails.
Our country, Nigeria wants this project to succeed and thrive. Only a fool will wish for this project to fail. We want a modern country with massive state of the art infrastructure. If Lagos succeeds, Nigeria succeeds. We are all in this together. See as fuel scarcity cripple every one. Or you think say Ebola for discriminate? Or did BH that bombed Abuja discriminate? I plead with you to think UNITY above all other considerations because Unity is Strength. We pray for our national leaders Buhari and Osinbajo to succeed for all of Nigeria.

Apology or not , The Nigerian Federal Government and whatever Nigerian restaurant that was libeled should sue them all. These "news" organisations have abandoned their ethical duties and turned into nothing but Anti - Nigeria propaganda channels. AFP, BBC etc are not news organisations because facts do not matter to them. They are propaganda outlets trying to undermine "others."

If some one had given then this same headline saying "BRITISH restaurant selling human flesh," they would have corroborated the headline before publishing.

So Nigeria must respond and file for monetary damages. Apology is not enough.

However,Mr Derby I know would also b grateful that a new sheriff is in town because with Nigeria retaking d leading role in d fight against BH soon,Chad can reduce d enormous resources,which d country doesn't have,used in fighting d insurgents and can also deploy some of those troops to fight its own internal battles against other rebels.
Significantly also,its in Chad's interest that Nigeria succeeds in defeating d BH so as to resume trade along d borders btw both countries, which is very crucial to Chad's economy.[/quote

Same with lots of people in Delta crossed the river from Anambra into Delta. The Obi of Asaba is similar to Obi of Onitsha. History, language and culture is the same.

SE geopolitical zone is political in nature and only 70 % of Ibo land, Nigeria. Wait till he runs for 9ja President in the future under APC and you will see how Ibos from Lagos to Kano and all around Naija will massively vote for their illustrious son Chibuike Amaechi.
