We get the message clearly madam. That our money is in safe hands and is too big to be seen where it ought to be kept.
We knew from the beginning that the anti corruption issues are just noise and a ploy to silence the opposition! You demonize PDP in the day but fraternize with them in the night.
Once a yam eater crossed from PDP to APC he suddenly becomes a saint and the best thing ever to happen to his people he robbed.
APC eight years rule will be more catastrophic than PDP sixteen years rule.
The least is renegotiating this country.

Sincerely speaking, I will vote buharis for third if his running mate will be abubakar shekau and the Senate president will be iswap leader because by then, Biafra, Oduduwa and other well-meaning republics would have been realized.

See them talking as if the centre will hold like this till 2023!









I rise

Nice post op.
If you check all appointments made by Obj during his administration, you will discover he was the last president that obey federal character principle of Nigeria. It is also the reason he has men and boys in all nooks and crannies of the country along religious and tribal divide. Only that he unfortunately did not maximize it for the betterment of the nation.
Love him or hate him, he never polarized Nigeria along religion or ethnic divide.

Thank God the reality is dawning on them.
Buhari's character as a leader is the seed of this problem. His company of thieves from the north and his southern accomplices amplified it.
So, Mr SP, stop lamenting and let the Israelites go.

Waiting to see the difference between the ousted president IBK, interim president Ndaw and this col Goita. Instead of the international community to be sincerely concerned about the welfare of the people, thy are more interested in foisting their governmental ideology on them without thoroughly accessing how beneficial it is to the people.
Nigeria has been practicing democracy since 1999, has it really benefited us? the performance of our leaders have been moving from failure to problem to disaster now calamity who knows who's coming next? The citizens have been muzzled through a military documents called constitution and getting out of it is a battle we hope to win someday.
So, live Mali alone to make the right decision for themselves.

mansakhalifa:
Saying that he 'seized' power is actually putting it the wrong way.

The Colonel is the man with all the real powers in Mali right now. The so-called 'civilian leaders' are like puppets in his hands. He can do whatever he so wants with them- however he likes.

What he has simply done is fire his civilian employees and taken back the power which he had{rather reluctantly} given them earlier on.

AU, ECOWAS, and the rest can keep on calling it a 'coup' for all they care.

Gbam! I too like you. You said it as it is without failing to call out their hypocrisy.
You are too much!

Their sincerity about this exercise has been undermined with that zoning method. At least why not state basis?
Considering many factors, many who would have loved to be there will not be able to make it there.
Moreover, you can't keep face-lifting a building with faulty foundation! 1999 constitution was never people oriented and can never be. It's a military documents on how they think Nigeria should be governed.
So, let's discard it and sincerely ask ourselves how can we live together if we choose to in the first place. But, sincerely, what we really need to do is to sincerely ask ourselves how we need to go our separate ways for everyone to be happy?
So unrestricted referendum should be added with a clause that whatever comes out of it will be honored.

joey150:
Can these governor's speech/press writers ever write in plain and understandable english?

I can understand most of those complex words, but it's very unnecessary when you want to pass a clear message to the public.

I call it nonsensical writing.

I understand your point, but the main recipient of the speech challenged his intelligence in the first case. Imagine just an unknown newspaper editor telling a former NBA president, many renowned lawyers like Wike and co that their statement is illegal!
He needs to taste a dose of their intelligence.

Many issues hidden in the statement. Gradually what has been hidden will unfold and we all will know our real enemies.

That's what religious fanatism can breed. And we have so many people like this guy doing different things but qualitatively not different from his.
To be sincere, religious fanatism takes one Faraway from God but very close to god of men. Only the spiritually enlighten can differentiate between the two.








I rise

Doing the same thing repeatedly and expect different result is the definition of stupidity!
Religious fanatism that has tied us down to this point as a country, watered down our humanity, corrupted our social values and above all made the bulk of is place emotions above logic resulting into living 19th century in 21st century and unfortunately, we've not discovered where we got it wrong!
The the European and Americans are unveiling the next civilization before our very eyes while we are yet to understand the ones that has become obsolete in these nation's, what a shame? Unfortunately, we are still sleeping into the future with this type of people leading us.
We need to wake up to realize placing religion where it belongs and be open to development.

This is one of the reasons Nigeria is carrying first in retrogression. Imagine the Nigerians that have never protested for bokoharam terrorism, banditry, fulani herdsmen menace, harsh business condition, neck-breaking inflation, unending removal of fuel subsidy with attendant high priceof fuel, epileptic power supply and paying heavily for darkness, killing of unarmed people tagged terrorist so as to be able to carry out their evil act while paying bandits ransom, serial kidnappings and ritual killing etc
Yet, have enough resources to carry out this unnecessary protest.
They will be busy cursing buharis and politicians while they really deserve what they are getting from this people.
It's because of things like this and many other nasty ones that I have up on Nigeria.

What a citizen?

It is expected of an employee to understand his/ her working environment and not assume, then, when not clear, ask questions. That's why there are heads in organizations.
Moreover, she's not telling you the whole truth or you only told us what you want us to hear. Building any form of business in this Nigeria's harsh environment is daunting enough than to jeopardize it with emotions.

Employees should understand their working environment before acting.

Like two months ago, it's impossible to believe that LFC will near top four let alone of being third on the table!
I love their fighting spirit and JK's politics that pull the stunt, English FA also delivered on their side of the bargain, now, everyone is happy. I knew Chelsea also will make it.

This story hit home and i can relate so i shed a tear. God dey, the first rule in life is trust NO ONE. you came alone and you will depart alone.

Know this and know peace.

you can hit the ground running with a few tips below I you don't have any profitable venture at the monent, this..can be applied to almost anything if you think critically.


imma keep it real with you like my brother from another mother, The educational system in Nigeria has been watered down a great deal but there are still opportunities for grassroot hustlers, best believe that.

All you need now is a hustler's ambition / mindset, you need to grind like one who has no mother or father, its cold out there.

In Nigeria, there are two classes of people (Living things and non living things)...you need to be amongst the living and stop whinning and complaining about this and that, nobody has it easy. If everyone comes to Nairaland beer parlor with his or her story, you go thank God for your life.

Bum imma share some gems with you real quick and if you are street wise, you will take action immediately.

If you must make it in Nigeria, you must think like an OUTLAW. push your fine boy and degree aside, roll up your sleeves and hit the ground running.

however, If you are techy (digital marketing, ecommerce, mini importation)

If you are dead broke don't venture into programming, you cannot effectively learn programming on an empty stomach with lack of data


If you are hands on Plumbing, woodwork, electrical, interior design solar design and installation, phone and laptop repair


Let me give you a brotherly advice, and I hope you work on it...
First of all I counsel people and I have done that on nairaland for a while... I have met great and good guys...
I dropped a story about my experience teaching in two schools as a corper and would not mind partnering with schools in abuja, but some accused me of looking for teaching job... Never ever mind what people say...
Back to the matter...
As a graduate, teaching and earning 15k, e no bad... But once you have a good (android) phone, go to any car stand of your choice around your area... Listen well, any good car stand and ask to see the manager... Tell him you want to help him market his cars and get good buyers... 90% of car stand managers will sign u on... Tel him you will be paid a small commission after sales...
Pick up your phone, snap as many cars as your phone memory can take, open a dedicated twitter ac, IG ac, Facebook ac, WhatsApp ac, ac etc... Take out time to post this cars, make sure you have the actual prices of this cars... You can add as much as #250k on it... Bring down the negotiations to as low as making #50k if need be just so I can sell. Set your monthly target... I assure you, if you get I client in a month, u make around #100,000k once you start growing, you can get as much as 5-10 client from all over the country and that hits you over #1m for just helping others sell their cars, Note all you invested was your time, energy, phone and data... No big financial capital...
Do not restrict yourself to cars, go for industrial machines as well, caterpillars, mikano gens, any thing, then you look for those big companies that need them and try to call their attention to it or market it to them... You may not sell in 3 months but when you manage to get a client to buy just 1 caterpillars, my brother you will instantly forget that u suffered before...
A friend of mine was marketing a silo for a local wielder, he received a call all the way from kebbi state, the purchase was made in Ilorin, he made #1.8 mil from buyers and #400k from seller... He still got a referral from that deal. Wake up bro...
Within a month or two, come and pay (tite).
I drive uber/bolt in abuja, market cars, sell commodities such as beans, maize, wheat,
ginger,onions, name it... In bags and tonnes
And I make nothing less than half a mil monthly...

Cpossibility:
What a friend did to me last week.

Just like in my case, so many graduates in the country are today, traumatized, depressed or even suicidal. Nothing is more depressing than seeing oneself jobless after several years of graduation. More annoying is when there's no finance to even start a business no matter how brilliant the business idea could be. If I have capital or even a collateral to use and get some money somewhere, I would rest completely from job hunting.

My ordeal.
Few months ago, I stumbled on a friend on Facebook whom we were school mates back in secondary school. His parents resided outside the state which he normally came back on school resumption and would go back during holidays.

On meeting him on Facebook, taking a look at his pictures, he's obviously doing well and claimed he's working with an international NGO. I told him my pains which is unemployment. Immediately, he was happy and telling me not to worry again that with his connections here and there, I'll get a job. His promise was to fix me either in the NGO, an insurance company, factory work or any other place of which he has links and connections.

We talked extensively and negotiated my movement and arrived I should come over last week. The plans was to stay in his 2 bedroom apartment and until 3-4 months when I can rent my own place. So I moved from Rivers state to Lagos Monday last week with just 16k on me. En route Lagos, we were keeping in touch so to know how closer I am and until I got to Lagos (God is Good Motors park) around 8pm. I called him that I have arrived the park and he said he was coming to pick me.

Long story short, that was the last time his number went. Initially, I thought it was network, or may be temporary low battery. I kept dialling the number through out the night but it never went again. Of course I had no choice than to sleep in the park. Woke up the next morning hoping his number would go but still same. I had no body else in Lagos nor knowing any where as that was my first time in Lagos. So I was just roaming around the park the whole day like a lost sheep, hungry, frustrating and pains but still hoping for his call but none came. When I tried reaching via Facebook and realized I was blocked, that was when it dawned on me that I have to start going back immediately. Already, transport fare from PH to Lagos finished about N10,500. So I was left with about 4k on me. At that point in the evening, I knew my best bet as I said earlier was to find my way back immediately but I didn't even have enough cash for my return. I had no option than to start telling people about my predicament and appealed for help to raise fund to return home the next morning. I was mocked and laughed at while some were asking to buy my phone at a very ridiculous amount. But then at that point, I could have sold it at the ridiculous amount but the phone was the only medium of communication with people especially my mum who was already worried over the journey right from the onset. I kept approaching people to help me and until one man graciously completed the money for me and I paid for my return.

On reaching home, I did nothing than thanking God that at least my case wasn't like that of late Iniobong Umoren. At least I came back home alive...which is the most important thing. But what I don't understand is why the guy chose to be that wicked to me forgetting this world is a very small place. I mean if there was never a job, why did he have to put me through that? Anyways, I have since moved on. Not even swearing/cursing him but leave everything for God. Such is life!

Fellow nairalanders, that is the dairy of a Nigerian job seeker. This leave me with the question, "will Nigeria ever be good for ordinary Nigerian?"

What, really love this.

For anyone who has been following events across the state, it will be obvious to the blind that El Rufai is a bad leader. Since his days as BPE chair to FCT minister and now to being a governor. Give it to him he knows how to have his ways with words but obviously, this won't work all the time.
Very soon, you will start getting to know the real reasons for the mass sack and you will be shock that the finance ish is a hoax.
Yes, government is broke but, there are various ways to use this same people you are sacking to generate money, please don't tell me they are useless unless you are telling me their employers in the first case is stupid, then, we ask which system made them so.
You don't cure a sickness by treatment of the symptoms, the civil service is not the problem, the politicians that corrupted it is.

El Rufai is a cunning man. He wanted to be in the news. Since he couldn't get there through right reasons, he chose to get there through wrong reasons so far he's in the news; after all he knows how gullible Nigerians can be, when the time comes propaganda and money will settle the rest.
