Reaction to the Press Briefing by Nigerian Minister of Information (as posted by Nurudeen Adeyemi)

ABSTRACT:
A Nation that spends its resources for the comfort of few in power, makes an open invitation for the learned to agitate.

SOCIAL FACT:
Nigerian leadership lacks administrative knowledge, devoid of prospective governance. The nation is in the terrible control of money scavengers and heading towards doom.

INTRODUCTION:
The level of fiscal expenses made by the government of Nigeria under President Tinibu, at the tune of billions of naira for the comfort of few Nigerians in power, makes it clear that the claim by the President that Nigeria is facing economic difficulties and that citizens must endure austerity measures, is but a myth.

BACKGROUND:
Information reveals that about 15 billion naira is allocated for the renovation of the Vice President’s house, a house that is recently vacated by past leadership just about a year ago.

Another 40 billion naira is said to have been allocated to renovate the National Legislative Assembly complex.

There is also purchase of pleasure cars at the sum of about 160 million naira each for 109 senators, and 360 House of Representatives members, who already own too many luxerous cars.

In recent time, about 90 billion naira is allocated for religious hajj to Mecca. Yet, this is the Nigeria it’s President said the masses must endure hardship due to economic setbacks.

Meanwhile, in these tremendous wastes, only 1 billion naira is allocated for renovation of higher institutions of learning in Nigeria.

CONSIDERATIONS:
A right thinking mind in any good leadership must know that the total financial activities as enumerated above in this regime, are not tied with any economic income or financial anticipation rather, they are sociopolitical expenses. The education sector, which is crucial, has the least in the expenditure.

QUESTIONS:
Does the President really understand the economic implications of spending more on sociopolitical activities rather than the economic sectors?

How could a government in the midst of hunger and starvation of its masses, prefers to waste its resources for the benefit of few, in a population of over 200 million?

Does this present government understand the implications of wasteful expenditure?

What sort of economic approach is President Tinibu applying?

CONCLUSION:
It is vivid that Nigerian political leaders are actually using the country as a money club for their personal gain rather than true administration of a nation. Because they seem not to have positive economic ideas or understand the concept of governance. They act as touts who scramble for money and riches. Like the “Alibaba and the forty thieves”

Clintonpaul:
Give us info how the invitation happened. Congrats though for meeting the economic and business mogul.

BucketMan:
New wigs in Nigeria suffer beyond some people's imagination... if that guy had not been lucky to meet Tony Elumelu it may have not ended well for him as a lawyer in Nigeria... in tinubus words... "the profession is gone".

It's heartbreaking to note that while Affleck's relationships have been topsy-turvy, his childhood best friend and co superstar, Matt Damon (actor of Bourne series), has been married for nineteen years, and has never had his family life in the spotlight for either good or bad reasons.

They're both uber wealthy with a similar net worth, but Matt edges him a bit.

So — happily married, peaceful life, and richer — wonder how two very good friends could have such starkly different results in relationships.

Sure, marriage is overrated — especially Hollywood marriages in the spotlight like this — but if you get it right, omo, let's not lie, marriage sweet die.



I have more advice, but make I marry fess.

For me, it was during an interview. I was interviewing for a role in the company before a panel of like 4 people. One of the persons was a little too aggressive with me. At some point, I went over time in answering a particular technical question, but quickly cut myself off once I realized it. That was towards the end of the interview. As we were saying our goodbyes, the aggressive lady made a very weird face and dropped off the call in the middle of my talking. Omo, it was at that point I realized this is not a place I want to work. At least this one person cannot even try to be professional in the discharge of their interview role and needed to bully a prospective employee. I knew right at that instant that I wasn't interested in the role anymore and wouldn't pursue it. Fortunately or unfortunately, they never reached out for a follow-up. Me sef, I was like, that's even better. Save me the stress. Months later, they sent me an email to say the role has opened up again and asked if I was interested in applying. I didn't even respond to their email. From the outside it looked like a nice place to work, but with my experience during that interview, it's not the place for me.

My line manager a woman reported to my director ND that mumu self just sack me like that... since then I don learn my lesson ND never to accept any job having a woman as the manager

cigaricon:
In job description when I see "ability to work well under pressure" that's a big red flag for me cos why would anyone want an employee to work under pressure? How can one be 100% productive under pressure?

sunnymighty:
A wrong perception bro.You don't judge a book by its cover. I bought my Car were I am working at present. It is at home because of the bad road and I don't dress to.'kill' because of the nature of my work.

If everyone one takes your advice, where will they get the skill, Proficiency and experience to grow?
My first job was for a very bad company, a dying one man business. But it was the experience and exposure I obtained from it that landed me my second job.
