Of what use is his prosecution as the recovered funds are not put into capital projects?

Give the government time. We all know that no case has been successfully prosecuted yet. The judicial system is a mess and cases would stall if the defendants grease the palms of the right judges.

Jide Omokore was reputed to have returned some money, despite that, he was recently charged to court. So you see such monies are still untouchable for now.

The Buhari campaign made promises we all hoped could be achieved, but promises have to be fulfilled with funds.

We are broke as a nation, it is not Buhari's fault, but it is his responsibility to get us out.

you'll still join me to experience the hardship, inflation of rent, fuel, foodstuff, commodities, everything. B00hari may not be the cause of this recession, but he has done nothing to prevent future occurence or drift us away from the recession. If he knew he would be unable to steer us off from recession, he should have backed off during election because at early 2015, the signs were obvious we were destined for recession.

B00hari is a dullard and worst president nigeria has ever had!

But you and I are happy that while we crawl out of recession since no miraculous exit exists, Buhari has deemed it fit to prosecute all those who stole monies meant for the development of the country. Monies that could have long diversified our economy.

You should be happy with that.

I wanted to avoid you but your ignorance stinks to high heavens, have u seen any minister of defence with no military background pls am not referring to minister of state o,have u also seen any minister of health with no medical knowledge so why can't that be replicated in other fields. Except the ministers are just meant to warm benches

Yes, you couldn't have avoided it as I shed light on your darkness.

Rabiu Kwankwaso of PDP lost his re-election as governor of Kano state in 2003 to Shekarau of ANPP.
Guess what ministry OBJ gave him? Full minister of defence.
Did Kwankwaso have a military or paramilitary background?

Even Jonathan broke the decades old tradition of having a professor as Education Minister. He made the same Shekarau minister in his last 9months. Shekarau only has a Masters and taught as a school teacher, but never lectured in any tertiary institution. But he had administrative experience as a 2term governor.

A minister of health does not need a medical background.

Works had Anenih ex-policeman, Fashola
Aviation had Kema Chikwe, Prof. Aborishade, FFK and Stella Oduah and now Rotimi Amaechi. They all have no technical or engineering or aviation background. They all have no investments in that sector.

A minister is a political administrator, deal with it.

Why is your b00hari drilling oil in the north? That's diversification?

Daura President!

Continue waiting for miracle.

amachuk:
Shut up!!! as if you anything, that is why you fail every single step you make, what are you administering when you don't know even the terminologies of a particular field. such key ministries require high technical knowledge to make milestone achievements, not some fashola who can hardly replace a bad electric bulb in his house, can you compare the achievements of Onyebuchi CHUKWU, Okonjo iweala, Chukwuma Soludo where they held sway to this punk of a man called fashola. as if I care much about Nigeria, Biafra shall come.

You are not cared about either.

We are talking about Nigeria. What did Onyebuchi Chukwu do for healthcare in Nigeria? Venture to any government hospital and behold a refugee camp. Is that his milestone achievement?

Tribal bigot!

They promised 9gerians miracle and so were voted in, they must deliver or be disgraced out of office and carrying the burden of biggest scam in 9geria for the rest of their lives. It is now on record that the only alliance SW and North has ever had in a democratic setting plounged 9geria into deep recession.

Tufia

If you like Tufia from Sokoto to Damaturu, we will all suffer for the wasted resources that was at our disposal in the years past.

As long as oil remains our destiny, we are destined to rise and fall with oil price. Now we fall, stop trying to stand on nothing.

Alliance did not cause Jonathan to owe oil firms JV funding to the tune of $5b from 2010 to 2015. Yet we were told that we had the biggest economy in Africa in those same years.

Now you want Buhari to pay the $5b in an economy on recession , yet Jonathan is not in jail.

Come and collect miracle naa.

I should be asking you how has the health ministry and education ministry fared with professionals over the last 56years?

Sibrah:
How can politics help fix a multi-billion problem that a politician isn't even aware of. Fashola isn't aware of distance problem in power transmission and how it helps aid vandalism - a challenge that's practically absent in Lagos.

The challenge you mentioned is known to the ministry technocrats who are paid to know it and convey such with solutions to the minister.

The ministers job is to ensure that such challenges are communicated to the presidency where the Executive Council would further deliberate on it and secure funding for the solutions provided.

The minister's job is not to detect the problems. The minister is not in the ministry for ever, so can never be a body of knowledge like the ministry's technocrats.

Now since you insist there's a problem a politician would not know, then do we recycle the old political appointees to that ministry or do we recall the former president of the country to serve as a minister since such challenges must have been mentioned in his regime, as such he would be equipped with the solutions?

Or do we make the technocrat permanent secretary or director of that ministry as a minister, and do away with such highest executive position in the ministry?

A minister remains a political administrator.

KingOfAmebo:
I totally disagree with you...When a Minister of Health knows nothing about medical practice, the result is the disgraceful and poor state of our Health sector, Same applies to all ministries headed by those who have no background knowledge or understanding of the ministry they are appointed to oversee.

This is common sense, sadly you don't have one.

Yet with your professorial doctors heading the ministry of health, we have about the worst medical infrastructure in West Africa.

America without doctors as Secretary of Health, is where we run to.

I like the Nigerian common sense.

Sibrah:
Agric goes well beyond the knowlegde of few crops. There is the geographical and engineering angle to it. Agric on a national level reguires the knowlegde of dams, irrigation, storage, statistics gathering to foresee challenges and more.

I accept.

In all honesty, don't you think the ministry of Agriculture or Works or Power etc, have these technocrats already who do this job day in day out, and who are permanent fixtures at such ministries unlike a minister who can be replaced after just 3months on the saddle?

A minister is just a political administrator, the ministries have directors and a permanent secretary who by experience and vocation are compelled to have this specific knowledge.

We really should stop this over-technocracy in our ministerial portfolio.

Was FFK or Stella Oduah a pilot or an airline investor to be minister of Aviation? Neither were they engineers or technically grounded.

A minister is just an administrator, with the exception of the Attorney General of a nation.

If the minister of Justice was separated from the Attorney General, an Engineer or a Surveyor could head such ministry, because he would just be an administrator of that ministry awarding contracts and overseeing the running of its offices nationwide, while the office of the attorney general would argue government case in court and give legal interpretation.

Sibrah:
You need to stop posting irrelevant facts.
Fashola's utterances as Lagos state governor shows he doesn't understand the magnitude and nature of our transmission problem.

So in conclusion we need someone who studied,

B.Sc understanding Magnitude and Nature of Nigeria's Transmission Problem.

Goodluck finding such professional. Or we recycle a past president or minister of power to come resolve what they couldn't fix before, but now understand?

Did Fashola succeed in those ministries while as governor of Lagos, Yes or No?

If No, I will link you up with Aresa, his pictures don't lie.

Largas:
Stop giving excuses for your shameless failure. The central govt has failed, simple!

opedaydydx9:
Some scallywags arguing a minister is an administrator, Buh they don't think you need idea in heading a particular ministry, awon obonte

So the farmer Audu Ogbeh still needs idea about an agricultural where he is a plantation owner?

A former governor Dr Chris Ngige who was a former director at the ministry of health, and a state chief executive, has no idea about labour, managing workforce and trade union dispute issues?

An SAN and former governor of the most populous and complex state in Nigeria, credited with multitudes of road, housing, power, and infrastructure projects, still has no idea about Power Works and Housing?


A moro.n was suggesting that a labourer should be minister of labour, I hope you're a better moro.n?

Largas:
So how come they are grossly underperforming and underwhelming? No light, no food, no good road, ASUU threatening strike, high inflation. Nothing! Tufia.

If the previous technocratic round pegs in round hole had done their jobs when federal revenue was surplus, would you be lamenting about basic amenities in a regime that inherited a collapsing economy?

Or is it not with money that projects would be funded, whether round peg or square peg.

Sibrah:
Fashola's case is very different.

No difference at all.

Tony Anenih of PDP was minister of works in the first 3years of Obasanjo's regime, from 1999 to 2002.
Tony Anenih is a retired AIG of Police.

All the ministries under Fashola received priority attention in Lagos when he was the governor.

Is it the roads and the bridges? Is it the IPP power projects for the different business districts in Lagos? Is it the different housing estates built by his regime?

A governor who put such effort into those projects under such ministries is more than qualified as the political administrator of such ministries at the federal level.

Administration is the key.

Does he have the required administrative experience to handle such ministry? Or with such projects handled by his government, he does not understand the requirements to replicate such projects at the federal level?

Sammiejokes:
Don't mind this our generation of dead Brains. Ben Carson is set to be the secretary of housing and urban development. Am having issues with buhari and fashola on power generation. they should remove power generation from exclusive list and liberate the states and local government to generate power.

You see!

Yet Ben Carson is a famous Neurosurgeon.

Kathleen Sebelius who was governor of Kansas was picked by Obama to be secretary of health. She studied B.A Political Science and M.A Public Administration. She was in that position from 2009 to 2014.
Tom Daschle who was Obama's 1st choice for that position, but was dropped due to tax payment default controversy, also studied Political Science, not Medicine or Pharmacy.

I don't understand why ignorant kids just argue from a position of darkness over matters that are non-partisan.

Are you also aware that minister of labour, Mr Chris Ngige studied "Surgery?? Even our minister of Agriculture studied " French..



Buhari sef

I reckon your brilliant mind requires the minister of Labour to have been a labourer?

Or is the medical profession not part of the labour force of a nation?

And is the said Audu Ogbeh of Agriculture not reputed to be an active agriculture investor?

A minister is an administrator.

Ignorant but talkative kids everywhere on Nairaland.

veekid:
How can a lawyer do the work of an engineer?

Buhari sef

A minister is an administrator.

The only ministry that requires a member of same vocation is ministry of justice because the minister doubles as attorney general. A doctor cannot argue government's case in court or give legal interpretation of a judgement as an attorney general would do.

A Minister of Health is never required to examine a patient or carry out medical examination, perform a surgery or dispense drugs.

A Minister of Works is never required to design engineering plans or structures or tools. Neither is he/she required to operate equipment.

A minister is a political administrator for the ministry. Any governor who has managed a state where such ministries exist and were functional during his tenure, is more than qualified to handle such ministry as the direct administrator.

Overcome your ignorance.

abu99err:
that's why I hate anything PDP!, they are Evil, Corrupt and Clueless at the same time.

you will hardly see PDP campaign like a normal political party stating what they will do and how they intend to do it, all you'll be hearing are wicked and sentimental things like "our opponent is an Hausa Muslim that wants to Islamise Nigeria" just to appeal to the sentiment of ss/se voters and the same PDP will go to Kaduna and say "our opponents vice is a Yoruba pastor that has 5000 churches" just to appeal to the sentiment of Northern Muslim voters.

this wicked method of camping has left the country more divide than ever, making this country difficult to govern.

a political party that sees nothing wrong with killing and beheading of political opponents!!

a political party that employs the services of tugs, millitans, terrorist and Secessionist.

SO I HATE ANYTHING PDP!!! I don't even give them a chance to explain, cause this Godforsaken PDP had 16 years to transform our great country but with very little to show.

but what gets me upset is that there are young Nigerians that support PDP i just don't get it!.

You are a man of truth. A model citizen.

You are a patriot!

Let's see if the minority will win the presidency with their hate campaign against the majority of Nigeria.

I really pity Okorocha. Too decent a pragmatic politician for the miserable South he hails from.

QuotaSystem:
I expected the O.P and his likes to continue to ignore the frustrated cries of those he quoted, as they're not even halfway through their sorrowful journey, but unfortunately they open threads such as these to give relevance to their wailings.

Those ones spewing unmitigated hatred towards Nigerians are clearly still in pain at their status in Nigeria, hallmarked by their consistently holding the short end of the stick, political worthlessness, and their utter powerlessness to escape to their fraudulent pie in the sky; Biafra_ud.

As seen on this thread, their objective is to provoke and irritate in order to spread their misery to others; make a conscious choice to ensure they fail while making them objects of amusement and cheap entertainment

Hmmm! Food for thought.

Their objective is a well known agenda that has been captured by the words of that miscreant I quoted. Really, they are not known to be tactful and wise, so they end up revealing their plans too early to guarantee failure. However, one must always ensure that the light is continuously beamed on their activities both offline and online, as they seek to turn brother against brother, and friend against friend.

Whatever it is they gain from chaos is still a concern that psychiatrists need to unravel.

Buhari is making the same mistake Jonathan made.

The Cabal around Jonathan were given him sick advices for their selfish interests, the same scenario is playing out again. There are always consequences!!!

It seems Buhari didn't learn anything from Jonathan's political downfall.

Keep your political structure intact and avoid fighting unnecessarily on the advice of those who are only seeking to grow their own base as an aftermath of that power tussle.

I stopped reading the long episode after I noticed that the writer himself is an biase.He is Criticizing a person and his ethnicity why trying to exonerate his own tribe.it doesn't work that way and that is our mistake in this country from 1960. Nigeria is a multi ethnic / religious contraption.from the president who divided the country into 95% and 5% and sold dollars at ridiculous amount to his Muslim brothers ,you all are tribalists. until we all stop lying to ourselves and be courageous enough to tell ourselves the truth and realize who we are until then we are all tribalists.

He sold subsidized dollars to his Muslim brothers you say, but you were asleep when his "Christian enemies" got the same dollar subsidy earlier, hence no criticism then?

The above comment was made by one of many miscreants who scavenge this forum, looking for any opportunity to sow discord, hate, animosity, and anarchy in Nigeria. Unfortunately, people like him are always the first to lament when rising tensions result to violence, blaming the government for not rising to the occasion - as though they could stand the weight of the government baring down on their clandestine agenda.

Straight to the matter, Jimoh Ibrahim is known to be a practicing Christian of the Deeper Life Faith since his days in the university fellowship. But as miscreants are fond to reveal their own ignorance, he was termed by the above miscreant as a Muslim who was sent to do the bidden of Muslim Fulani overloards in the North. What this ignoramus did not reveal is that the current governor of the so called Christian state of Ondo, Olusegun Rahman Mimiko who belongs to a party he supports, is himself a Muslim who defeated the incumbent Christian, Olusegun Agagu. Despite Mimiko being Muslim, the state has been peaceful. But being oblivious of Jimoh Ibrahim's Christianity, he concludes like a foo.l that he would islamize Ondo state with his deeper life tracts?

All of the above political outcomes is certainly a mystery to one who comes from a region where interreligious coexistence is impossible idealism. Therefore my advice to people from heterogeneous ethno-religious political regions in the country, flee from such cankerworms who masquerade as supporters of a section of the divide and throw stones to the other, for they will only sit back to be entertained when the hate they are stoking blossoms into anarchy. If in doubt, see below comments on a different thread by the same snake. They love no one, certainly not you, and you are grossly mistaken if you think they are fighting on your side of the divide at the moment.

Another worrying trend of recent, is having very miserable outsiders begin to define who is a true or false South/South or NigerDelta person. You hear comments like, "you must be Edo, or Auchi Muslim, not a real SouthSouth", "you must be Ijaw who loves to grab land". As far as these miserable humans are concerned, they define where you come from and how more real you belong there, based on your support or otherwise for their argument on the need for your region to support their own selfish regional ambitions. You are a traitor and backstabber if you do not support their own regional ambitions, yet they have no evidence of ever lending a helping hand to anyone. You are their enemy and a slave to another region of the country when you have a good working relationship, in truth, they are just like kids who are envious of a party of friends that does not include them. But be sure that they are ever scheming for the same working relationship and would jump for joy at the faintest picture of such as was exposed by the recent visit by regional legislators to the president they so much hate. Like emotional brats, they already started rejoicing for the same "slave relationship" they condemned. History however reminds us that someone who had the opportunity to be executive Prime Minister in 1960, chose to be a "loyal slave" ceremonial president.

But the question remains, what exactly is their business with how other regions manage their ethnic or religious diversity? What exactly have they ever gained from this pathological lousiness? Has the outside diversity that surrounds them ever stopped them from staying put in their own "perfect" region? So why do they worry traumatically when other regions overcome boundaries to form friendships and partnerships?
Must their own approval be sought by others?

To my immediate political region SouthWest, flee from the advice of such miserable people who are not known to accommodate each other even in their supposedly ethno-religious homogeneous enclave. As for the war they always crave for, let us pray they have it like it's hot within their own region, in total opposite of a persistent agenda to tie down war in another man's region while they saunter off into freedom. The Western and MidWest region would know this history they are craving for to be retold.
