Ultimately, some of these companies may require to be bailed out by the common wealth of Nigerians. Our political leadership is very irresponsible, that's why companies with limited capacity in terms of funding and technical know how ended up buying discos in to first place; they know someone in the corridors of power.

did you apply in June?

No, applied this week when it started.

Is application still going on?

Impactever:
pls is there any age restriction for those applying for the Access Bank Entry-Level *Tech Recruitment 2022* ?

Went through the requirements but didn't see anything like it.

Meanwhile does it mean that another tech trainee application has been opened for this july seeing as the last one was done in June?

muykem:
Can you imagine the level of ignorance? Who builds that of Bayelsa and Delta states not to talk of Akwa Ibom State.

Its like these guys pride themselves on being ignorant.

When you are told to leave the cave you are living in and explore, you refuse only to display shameful ignorance.

Lot of state govts have airports in Nigeria, a simple google search will avail you of the details.

I have seen a lot of hype about anambra, a state created in 1991 with regards an airport and feel ashamed on your behalf.

One state in northern Nigeria, created in 1996 and second to the last in terms of federation allocation, Gombe, has its own airport ( started working/comissioned 2008) while you guys won't let us have peace over an airport almost 30 years after the state came into being.

You guys need to expose yourselves to world. At least stop displaying crass ignorance.

I wish more people can be constructive in reasoning like you.
See the comments made up, all for comment sake. Zero wisdom from the youths. I honestly miss what this forum was all about years back. The kind of knowledge gathered here in the past would make people respect your opinion when you conversate. Now see the rubbish people are posting above you.

The 'Just comment because I have to comment not because I have something to say' kind of mentality and about every topic, even that which he knows absolutely nothing about, its sad really.

The probability of a technocrat doing well is alot higher

Just saying do away with the blanket statements.

Cognitivereason:
The entire Benue state is literally a failure..never seen a state so miserable.. Ortom is simply a curse.. inshort the state has never been lucky with good governance..from akume to suswan.. all were failures..

the only thing that keeps the state moving is drinking to stupor ,cult clash and herdsmen

Someone who knows.

delpee:
Gov. Ortom hasn't done well but he clearly doesn't have the funding that is available to Borno. There are specific reconstruction projects funded by FG and World organisations in respect of Borno State.
I don't know if such facilities were made available to Benue State.

What has he been able to do with his state's funds? Ortom is not the one handling the whole humanitarian crisis arising from there, NGOs and the FG through NEMA are there, what projects has he done?

tctrills:
I agree the Benue guy is a failure but don't forget he is not getting federal support.
The federal government seems to be enjoying what the herdsmen are doing in Benue

Lol, with his wailings what has he been able to do?

Herdsmen are not doing or have done 1/10 of what BH was doing, man us just irresponsible.

kenedy175:
You can't take it from Prof. Zulum, he's the best performing governor in Nigeria irrespective of the insecurity in Borno.

This is what you get when you have a technocrat heading the government.

Ayade is also a technocrat.

joyandfaith:
Russia and China don't really care about service sectors. It is the same problems with most developing nations. Most workers in Chinese factories in Nigeria are not properly remunerated. Even in Russia, service sector is not properly valued. It is common with NAZISM/Fascism/Communism. Citizens labor for the government in those countries.

Meaning?

Zulum and Orton are 2 worlds apart, no basis at all for comparison.

treesun:
Presidential Candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has taken his counterpart in the opposition Peoples Democratic Party PDP and former vice president, Atiku Abubakar to the cleaners, saying the opposition candidate is a desperate liar who should never be entrusted with the presidency.

Tinubu was reacting to an Arise Television interview aired on Friday in which Mr Abubakar addressed a lot of issues including a claim that he fell out with Tinubu in 2007 because he (Atiku) was opposed to a Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket.

In response to a question on his thoughts on the Muslim-Muslim Presidential ticket of the APC, Atiku said: “My fundamental disagreement with Asiwaju since 2007 was on the issue of Muslim-Muslim ticket. That was my fundamental disagreement and departure from Asiwaju.

“Together with Asiwaju, we formed ACN and I was given a ticket in Lagos and he insisted to be my running mate and I said no, I am not going to have a Muslim-Muslim ticket and because of that he switched his support to the late Umaru Yar`Adua and that was the departing point and of course, it is also a fact that when Buhari emerged in Lagos in 2015 that I also opposed a Muslim-Muslim ticket.

“I opposed it and my opposition actually reinforced the decision of President Buhari to pick a Christian running mate. So, I have all along opposed that. I don’t believe in that. I don’t believe it is right for a country like Nigeria that is multi-ethnic, multi religious that there should be balancing of interests, whether religious or otherwise.”

Asked whether the choice of Senator Kashim Shettima as Tinubu’s running mate would not damage his (Atiku’s) chances in the Northeast, the PDP candidate said, “Certainly, prospects are much higher. If you know the composition of the Northeast, you have Borno and Yobe; these are essentially two Kanuri states, then you have the other states which are essentially Hausa-Fulani. So, even if people are going to vote on that basis, I think I have a more favourable (support) from the Northeast.”

However, speaking through his campaign organization on Saturday in a statement, Tinubu faulted most of the claims made by the former vice president, noting that the APC was extremely shocked by the many lies and ignorance displayed by the PDP presidential candidate.

“In the interview, Alhaji Atiku exposed himself as a man who is not prepared for the job he is applying for and a man who can not be entrusted with our commonwealth. He was flippant in his response to important questions about his record of service and how he made money while serving in Customs. He muddled up facts and exhibited befudling absence of mind”, Tinubu said through the Director, Media and Communication of his campaign organization, Mr Bayo Onanuga.

Stating that the PDP candidate bungled the interview, Tinubu also described him as a lawbreaker.

He said; “PDP candidate is a law breaker: It was most shocking Atiku admitted that he cheated the system for decades and engaged in gross misconduct as a government worker. As a customs officer at the Idi-Iroko border, Atiku revealed that he ran a commercial taxi service, claiming ‘there is no law stopping public officers from doing business in Nigeria”. He punched harder, claiming there is no conflict of interest in doing so.

“We found this to be untrue. Every officer in the civil service is expected to comply with a code of conduct and service rules which bar civil and public servants from engaging in private business while in government employment to the detriment of the service he/she is employed to render to the public. The 1999 constitution further codifies this in Part I, Fifth Schedule, Section of 2 (b).

“It says a public officer shall not, except where he is not employed on full-time basis engage or participate in the management or running of any private business, profession or trade. The rules however allow a public officer to engage in farming.

“We wonder which rule or which law Atiku was relying upon for his gross misconduct as a public officer. It is our considered view that Atiku gamed the system all through his career in public service, culminating in his founding of the Intel Logistics along with Late Shehu Yar’Adua and some Italians, even while he was still in the employment of the Nigeria Customs Service”.

He said Atiku also has a poor knowledge of key sectors of the economy, adding; “We also found it surprising that the PDP presidential candidate does not know the contribution of oil and gas industry to Nigeria’s GDP. He claimed the sector represents 20% of our national GDP whereas it is below 10 percent and it is still falling owing to the growth of non-oil sector under the current All Progressives Congress led administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“False Data from Egypt: Atiku Abubakar wanted to impress his audience with his supposed knowledge of international affairs. He ended up embarrassing himself with false data he cited from Egypt. We found his claim that Egypt has 2 million police officers on the streets to be untrue. Various sources put the number at about 500,000 for a population of 104 million and not 80 million as falsely claimed by Atiku”.

On the issue of Rotational Presidency, Tinubu said Atiku should be more focused on the issue and not a Muslim-Muslim ticket.

“Asked to justify why the PDP jettisoned Section 3c of its own constitution which enshrines power rotation between the North and South, Atiku tried to fudge his answer by focusing on Governor Nyesom Wike and his effort to reconcile with him after he, a northerner snatched the presidential ticket that ought to have been taken by a southerner. While Atiku was playing to the gallery on APC’s Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket, he didn’t see seeking to be President after 8years of a President from his part of Nigeria as politics of exclusion.

“Probed further, Atiku provided several contradictory answers. In one breath, he said power rotation is not in the constitution. In another breath, he said the PDP has never ‘micro zoned any position’. Then he admitted that the party has always rotated power between the North and the South. Atiku’s justification as to why he became PDP’s presidential candidate, instead of a southerner is a perfect example in ellipsis: ‘In politics’, he said, ‘we negotiate power through negotiations(sic)’. Whatever that means.

Atiku supported Muslim-Muslim ticket

“Atiku ever an expert in not telling the truth also did not come clean over his once-upon a time preference for same-faith ticket. In 1993, after Atiku and Kingibe lost to MKO Abiola in the SDP presidential primary in Jos, Atiku was the choice of the Yar’Adua camp to become Abiola’s running mate. Abiola overlooked him and picked the more cerebral diplomat and bureaucrat, Babagana Kingibe. In all the tonnes of biographies written about him, there was no where he said he opposed Shehu Yar’Adua’s support for his candidacy as Abiola’s VP. He was not against it, since it favoured him. Now, it is politically convenient and opportunistic for him to oppose Tinubu-Shettima ticket.

“Political Credentials: Most reprehensible was Atiku’s lies about how many times he ran to become the governor of Adamawa or old Gongola state.

“Mr. Presidential candidate, in case you don’t know due to your limited education, you run for an office, only, when you are on the ballot in an election. Your signifying interest in an office does not mean the same as running for the office. From available records, the first time you contested the governorship election in your state was in 1999. Your name entered the ballot for the first time and you won.

“Poor grasp of history: Atiku Abubakar also exhibited poor Knowledge of history when he claimed that Abraham Lincoln, one of America’s famous leaders contested the presidency five to six times before he eventually won.

“This is a beer parlour tale that has been recycled over time. Lincoln contested U.S. presidency twice. He ran in 1860 and 1864 and won both, before he was assassinated on 15 April, 1865.

“The false story about Lincoln’s failed presidential bids sprang from his previous failed state and national elections, from his state of Illinois. They were not the same as America’s presidential election.

“According to historians, Lincoln lost his first election in 1832 for Illinois state legislature. In 1834, he ran again and won.

“In 1843 he ran for Congress. He lost. Three years after in 1846, Lincoln ran for Congress again – this time he won and went to Washington. From established history, in 1848, Lincoln ran for re-election to Congress and lost. In 1854, he ran for Senate of the United States. He lost. Lincoln also made another failed bid for U.S. Senate from Illinois in 1858. He lost to Democrat Steven Douglas.

“Our conclusion is that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is ill-prepared to be President of Nigeria if he could bungle a Television interview that was planned well ahead of the day and time the duo of Dr. Reuben Abati and Ms.Tundun Abiola conducted it.

“We expected the PDP presidential candidate to be well informed on any issue before coming on national television to expose himself to avoidable ridicule”, he stated.

How not to answer a question.

Going round and round and round.
Asiwajú, na so you dey do?

makemoneywbsite:
And the result is there for all to see.

Igbo have been closer to civilian government power than any other tribe debar Fulani in Nigeria. In fact, every government that sought excellence has always had Igbos in it.
1960 first president and Commander in Chief was Zik after an alliance with Ahmadu Bello. Second republic still found Igbo in power with Alex Ekwueme as VP, just 9 years after civil war. Fourth republic saw Igbo dominate Obasanjo, Yaradua and Goodluck Jonathan governments.

Since Nigeria's independence, Buhari's government is the first civilian government that Igbo hasn't held sway. The result is there for all to see when you sideline competence.

If an Igbo man is the only one with an eye in a group of 10 men, he will console himself and pass down as verdict how he is so special he has only one eye while everyone has two and he can see clearly,

If he is the only one with 2 eyes in a group of 10 men, those are not fit to be called human if he is called human, either they drop the human name or he be called a super human.

You can never win with them, head or tail, they don't accept defeat.

Let's extend your logic then:

All administrations especially those that succeeded had Igbo in them and that's why they succeeded, buhari admin has no Igbo and that's why it failed.

1. How successful were those administration seeing as the country we live in is termed as zoo?

2. The perfect depiction of igbo success in governance as per your wailings is PO, how developed is Anambra? How about any other area he was saddled with a responsibility prior?

3. Tell me, can we now say that the Igbo are major players in the destruction of this country?

4. If any admin that has Igbo is a success, what's the state of the Igbo region? How did developed is it seeing as they at divers of development?

orisa37:
THAT'S SHARIA.
PANTAMI IS MAKING MONEY.

What is Shari'a?

Lindner:
Looking at the three most popular candidates in the forthcoming election, I can say I've never been more confused.

Was discussing with some of my guys and I won't kid myself, it's a decision for the least evil choice among the three. Sorry to say, if these are the best Nigeria has to offer again (as always), we're still in deep shit.

ATIKU
He's been an active participant in the shit we find ourselves as a country today. When that name is mentioned, what I hear is corruption and the continuation of institutionalized corruption and bad governance. He was once a VP, so he has no point to proof. He created part of the problem we're in.

BAT
Too many baggages. The fact that allegations cannot be proven does not mean they are false. It may just mean the perpetrator is to smart to cover his tracks. Plus, this man should just be resting and taking care of his health. Looks too frail. The complexity of our problems require agility. I just don't see how BAT can give even 50% of himself to the job consistently over 4 or 8 years. And I keep hearing about how he looted Lagos state dry.

PO
Looks good on paper but I can't just see any evidence of historical performance except vague statistics. They said he transformed Anambra. If today's Anambra
is the transformed version and the standard for performance, all hope may be lost. And again, I'm weary of the 2015 rhetorics of "never-do-wrong, ultimate solution to all our problems" that made Buhari president. I'm also not just comfortable rooting for the same candidate as IPOBs, their sympathizers and people who didn't wish Nigeria well but all of a sudden are interested in the country. Seem to me there's an ulterior motive (whether PO is aware ot not). I just don't want to help them gain power by contributing my vote- whatever the motive.

Here is my dilemma and some of the real issues to be discussed when campaigning for your candidates instead of the ethno-religious nonsense that is plaguing us as a nation. The standard is so low to the point that our expectations are pathetic. Our best candidates are just a bunch of people from the same stock.

So on point.

ArewaNorth:
It is true that average Northern population don't have access to social media but quoting it at 90% is nonsensical verdict. Let say 55% but does that mean it is because of poverty and illiteracy?
Over 50yrs back Northerners have access to BBC Hausa, VOA Hausa, Deutch Welle Hausa Radio stations and many other local mainstream media houses which made us adherent listeners to those news stations. Ask those who have been to the North and they'll tell u that most Northerners listen to these news outlets everyday and strongly agreed that social media is just a source of misinformation and propaganda.
You rich people and literates who are so dogmatic and rendered your education useless for accepting every lies they feed to you on social media how does it make you look or act lke educated folks?
Look at the social media spaces today, look at how people peddle lies and do not even care to verify the authenticity of the news sources and are arrogantly claiming that they have been to school. This is the highest level of half baked knowledge a whole group of people were subjected into!

There is a movement which has been gaining traction calling for the quitting of social media by the white people, the ones who developed SM, someone is using SM as a metric for measuring development.

ArewaNorth:
I don't know why you people have difficulties in understanding facts. When census was carried out in Nigeria even those residing in other states have their data registered on their state of origin. More than 70% of Lagos residents are not the state's indigene. If truly you know the number of foreigners in Lagos you will be seriously shocked talk less of even Nigerians from all states trooping to Lagos daily. If you see the vehicles travelling from East and North going to Lagos daily you would wonder if there is any space left in Lagos!

Lol, same line of reasoning when they say they come to the north and see well spaced communities ( not the dense areas they are used to) and start using that to question the population of the north.

Truthisunique2:
Ortom was in charge of the committee of zoning and he left the contest open supporting atiku indirectly

So am surprised when he keeps crying he supports wike

As in.

Beremx:
He and Kwakwanso are relying on the illiteracy of the north to win. Imagine denigrating your region because of elections. Funny enough most northerners will agree with them.
What a shame

And what's bad about that?

The people who brought SM to you are quiting it in droves while you use as metric of development?

Smh.

DeepThroater:
So you are now transferring the 13% of the Niger Delta to share holders

Keep talking trash by defending this ongoing heist

Leeemaaaooo.

Jennifer663:
Not funny.

Some people revel in spreading misinformation.

So sad that the so-called 'soro soke' generation know nothing about the corporate world and how things work. In the next few months, nnpc is going to have its IPO, that's how it will come and pass him by while he is busy spreading mischief and in the next few decades, he will rant to his grand kids how 'government monopoly' created millionaires out of nothing while making them paupers.

TMTR:
As seen on Twitter

Who says he is not voting Igbo to punish the Igbo people? Where did this come from? How? When?

Read again, this time slowly and process it before you type something. Project started 2019 in phases, you can google that.

Read to understand, not to reply.

Rostikol:
What a load of ignorant rubbish.

This project has absolutely nothing to do with your Peter Obi, you stupid moro.n.

This is a deal that commenced long before Obi even thought of becoming president.

Blasted ignorant moro.n.

You've come with your stupid IPOB narcissistic mentality to pollute even the Obi candidacy with your spitefulness, lying, and hate.

Disgusting people.

Brother, leave obi's supporters for your own sanity. Guys were living in mars all this while, they just started learning about Nigeria a month ago.

Dumb thing said it took obi for the project to start, didn't know that the project has been ongoing in phases since 2019.

Obi supporters, when they call you names, things like these are what cause am.

I would be bringing any resource I find regarding this bill to this space for the sake of posterity.
