IGBOPRINCE:
did you read where she said the ministry was suffering when she came in ? No finance to do some certain things, Ok read again..

with such a long articles, you want her to starts telling you what she has done so far for the past 2years and 6month of her stays in NCWD? Meanwhile some useless women from the west and north were there to collects their salaries and show up for work or arrive to work by 11:00am,only to leave before 3pm in the afternoon and she tried her possible best to put a stopped to it and they reported her to their tribalist president. Hence her sack or one of the reasons to her sack.
The person who interview her did not called her to questions her about what she has achieved so far in NCWD. they wanted to know what prompted her sack.

Ndi ara nairalanders stops being sentimental..

She had the option of taking disciplinary measures against the 'useless women' while she was still in the saddle as DG. Why didn't she do so at that time, and make it public? It is after she has now been sacked, that she is just crying that her tenure was marked by tribalism. Abeg, make she swerve commot, make person see road! _mtcheew..

If you leave and work in Lagos then 6am is damn too late save you don't have a family to care for and office is only walk distance.

So if you live and work in Lagos, 6 a.m. is too late for you to wake up? In what part of Lagos do you live and where do you work, that would make 6a.m too late for you? You really need to be specific.

Ok, if you live in Ajangbadi, Okokomaiko, Igando or Qjokoro, Agbado-Ijaiye, Alagbado, Agege etc., and you work in Ikoyi or Victoria Island, then you can say 6.a.m is rather late. But if you live in Yaba and work in Ebute-Metta, or you live in Obalende and work in Apapa (where you can get a 15 mins boat ride from Marina), or you live in Lekki Phase 1 and work in V/I, then bros, 6a.m is not late, o! No be everybody like to do suffer-head.

Babe abeg blow whistle, u don't preach wat u ve not practiced, anyone waking up by 7am in lagos has got no chores and probably ve a shop infront of his/her house....

Or probably lives just a few streets away from their office...and can get there by trekking for 15 - 20 minutes.

Ikenga or whatever your name, wetin bring Yorubas into this? ? The OP is an Igboman like you so where does Yoruba come in? Must some of you take shots at Yorubas to feel good about yourselves? Smh.

Haba! Why are you spoiling their fun? If they have not taken potshots at the Yoruba in one day, their brains would not function properly and their happiness cannot be complete. But wait o, I must commend you Yoruba chaps, sha. These people are so attracted to you guys, that they are unable to do anything without mentioning your tribe.

Can you share the secret of your charismatic attraction, with those of us who come from the minority ethnic groups, so we can advise our people on how to grab the attention of other tribes like you guys do??

ATERI:
Feni-Fani Kayode once asked in one of his articles why the black man is disrespected and despised around the world. I think it`s good to have that question in mind as I answer your question. Mo human beings get any respect beyond what his/her character deserves, so blacks are disrespected around the world because the world knows that we are an inconsequential race.
The world we live in today is run and led by the people that have found us out and benefitted from our inferiority.
When the white man came in contact with us, what was the most important thing we did with them after that first contact? Well, the most important thing we did was to trade with them. And what was that trade about? The trade was human trade in which Yoruba and Igbo would round up the poorest among them and labelled them slaves, put them in hand-cuffs and leg-irons and handed them over to the white man. What was the white man paying him in return? He was getting bottles of wine in return for the human beings he was handing over, his own children that he knew white man was going to work to death in far away land. Having worked out how low his IQ was, white man raised the stake and introduced sugar and sugary stuff into the exchange mechanism. Once our ancestors tasted sugar and saw that it was sweet, that would lead to a packet of sugar exchanging for 2 human beings or more. Our ancestors did this for over 300 years. Today, the people that were treated this way are called African-Americans, Afro-Caribbeans etc. Now, look at this scenario and tell me who is the mentally inferior slaves in this equation? It can`t be the poor that was captured by his/her own traditional rulers, political leaders and military generals and betrayed that is unintelligent and mentally inferior, rather it has to be those that were collecting packet of sugar in exchange for their own children. And the white man saw and still see it for what it is, that the black man is so dull and stupid that you need little or no efforts to outwit him.
Now, look at today`s Nigeria and see how Yoruba and Igbo are doing. Again white man easily outwitted him when he fought and accepted pre-independence arrangements that would make him subordinate in his own country. Igbo and Yoruba were always going to be second class citizens in Nigeria after accepting a heavily lopsided political structure prior to independence, cemented by the British advice to the North to flood the Military with their children. The rubbish worked until MKO Abiola and June 12 came into the picture.
From the moment the suicidal war Ojukwu started ended, Hausa/Fulani treated both Yoruba and Igbo as their errand boys if not slaves in Nigeria. And Igbo were very happy with that, supporting Hausa/Fulani all the way. You can see how the hypocritical Igbo were up in arms when a Yoruba man said in an interview that he prefers an alliance with the North. That was precisely what Igbo have been doing since the 70s. Not only that the Igbos are very happy to join the North to destroy democracy in Nigeria, remember Nzeribe`s ABN and what Kanu did for Abacha, but today read the rubbish online from the same Igbo, you will think they arrived Nigeria last year.
Nothing would improve in Nigeria until both Yoruba and Igbo co-operate and bring progressive elements in the North and South-South with them. Hopefully, in my life time, but I`m not optimistic.
By the way, how are you sure I`m not Yoruba or Igbo?

FFK's question is neither here nor there. A lot of people have raised such questions and come up with different answers. Although, none of them have described themselves in such derogatory terms as you have done. True, your treatise made a bit of sense in some parts, but it would have made better sense if you had left the brainwashed rants that white racists condescendingly use to label blacks, out of your long epilogue.

I really don't care if you are Igbo or Yoruba. Anyone who accepts that he comes from 'an inconsequential race', and recycles such remarks obviously suffers from chronic low self-esteem, self-flagellation and has a defeatist mentality. Let me leave you to wallow in it.

GiantParrot:
Yes, your friends are technically not lying. It is nit likely that an entry level IOC staff will take home N1.2M on the typical month. But that's just part of the story. The rest of the story is available to those who need to know

If you cannot tell the rest of the story here, then simply swerve. It just goes to show that the 1.2 million monthly salary for fresh graduates in oil companies, is nothing but a myth. Next!

Sorry bros, i am a husband, good son of a good father, and boyfriend of Kachikwu. Hope it helps?

Ahhh...I get it now. You are a transvestite. Pity...

ATERI:
The North governed Nigeria from 1979 till 1999, right? As of 1979 Nigeria was at the verge of becoming a developed nation, but by 1999 it has become a basket case. The point I`m making is that there is nothing special about the North. The mentally inferior Yoruba and Igbo are very easy to dominate because they are created to be slaves. You can see that the interview that is the talking point here is just confirming that. MKO Abiola sacrificed his life for an ungrateful and undeserving nation. It was Abiola that destroyed the domineering tendencies of the North. Between 1979 and 1999 the Northern power elites stole and looted the treasuries of Nigeria while the underprivileged Northerners remained terribly poor. The Northern elites used to say openly that it was their right to govern simply because they produced nothing in the North. It got to a stage during this period when you only stood a chance of being anything in Nigeria if you are either Hausa or a muslim.
I can see you mentioned the new generation Notherners like Ribadu and Rufai. A quick reminder that they hit the limelight under a Yoruba president. Yar`dua actually tried to kill El Rufai. Common with the core North was the tendency to frustrate good leaders among them. If you were good and educated you could never emerge from the North as a leader and they made sure that practice took hold all over Nigeria. Today the North should be apologising for the mess we have in Nigeria but for the fact that Obasanjo and Jonathan have created a mess of their own
So when we talk leadership, let`s see it on individual basis not on the basis of ethnic nationality.

Haba! This statement you made saying "The mentally inferior Yoruba and Igbo are very easy to dominate because they are created to be slaves, " reeks of prejudice, insensitivity and discrimination. What is mentally inferior about the Yoruba and /Igbo?

So what do you want me to do? Paste someone's payslip here. Use Google to find out.

I tell ya most of these top oil and gas firms pay more than 1.2m/month as starting salary. Its either your neighbor isn't telling you the truth or he isn't working there.

And I tell you that your claims are erroneous. I have several friends working in oil companies and none of them can corroborate your story. What does that tell you? The 1.2 million naira monthly salary for a fresh graduate does not exist in the oil firms you mentioned.

lonelydora:
Are you aware he rejected the job initially for weeks. You guys don't know that man. He is a big baller when it comes to money. I have been expecting this statement from him for long.

Ok, we hear you. It appears that you are either the wife, daughter or girlfriend of Kachikwu. Just tell him that some of us will not believe his claims until we see some proof. Chikena!

iykedare:
No you don't.

Most oil and gas firms pay more than 1.2m per month as starting salary for their new entrants. Ask anyone in Mobil,total,nlng .

Yes, I do. My neighbour coincidentally works for ExxonMobil, and when I told him about fresh graduates earning 1.2 million a month, he laughed and asked me on which planet within Nigeria, were those salaries being paid. Definitely not within his company.

Another of my friends works with NLNG. He got promoted just last year, and certainly did not earn 1.2 million per month as a fresh graduate within the company. So where do you get your figures from?

Double post.

seaga:
ExxonMobil, chevron are foreign owned companies, as such let's use one of the G8 nation as a case study. The highest paying profession in the United states are the Medicals, and they don't earn a million dollar as wages per annum. Just saying. ...

God bless you, oh! Some people are just so quick to swallow any story they hear! Do you even know much you would pay in taxes if you actually earned 1 million USD in a year??

iykedare:
A fresh graduate in nlng earn more than 1.2m naira so imagine what a vice president of Mobil,West Africa will earn.

Are you talking about 1.2 million naira per year or per month? Kindly clarify! I know fresh graduates who have worked for NLNG and none of them earned close to that, monthly!

lonelydora:
If you know him before now, you will know that 1million USD is even small to what he is losing. Do you know many companies he personally owns? Go find out.

And you that happens to know him personally, can you provide solid documentary evidence or proof to back up his assertions?? Or you expect people to swallow blindly any story they hear anyone telling them?

vislabraye:
Men, you don't know how much Mobil spoils their staffs. If an entry staff earns over a million naira in salary and incentives, what do you think a man of his level will earn ? He's a technocrat unlike Fashola and Amaechi who need to depend on political appointments.

Go back and read it again. He did not say a million naira, he said a million US dollars. Na beans? Na so Mobil dey dash im managers USD?

Nellybii:
And who are you? A nobody hiding behind a faceless moniker, enemy of progress. And to answer your question about who be mumu. The answer is "you!!" gerrarahere

odomanis:
Not all Nigerians are ill minded like you want us to believe. We still have responsible citizens all over the country. If you must know,at exxon Mobil and indeed every big establishment, the employees pay the right taxes. Their taxes are actually deducted at source and remitted to government. Nigerians should desist from talking down their bests, others celebrate theirs.

Guy, not all Nigerians are as gullible as you are. Some of us that have worked for multinational corporations know that for you to claim you have made 1 million USD as official earnings, when even their own citizens working at very senior levels for the same corporation within their own country, have not earned up to half of that, is a very tall order. How much exactly do you think 1 million USD is worth in real terms? and how easy is it to get as a paid employee? If he has truly made that much and has paid the right taxes to cover his earnings, it would be very easy to see exactly how much he has earned, from his tax clearance certificate. Period.

When people make such assertions in public domain, they should be ready to back it up with proof. Not everyone will slavishly swallow any story making the rounds. If he cannot provide proof, why does he expect anyone to believe him? What was even the essence of his remarks and the way he was peddling how much he was making or losing? Was it simply to make himself feel big? Abeg, make una shift carry all una folktales go una village...

idupaul:
Okonjo Iwealla said same...them don start

No mind dem. All that 1 million USD, na hype. If he wants us to believe him, let him post his tax clearance certificate here, so that we can actually see how much he was earning & how much he paid as PAYE, in order for us to verify his claims. Na who be mumu?? mtcheew!

That school has been in existence since antiquity

Even as a kid born and raised in Lagos island, most of us ajepako kids attended King ado high, lsale eko grammar school, Eko akete gram schooll, Boys Academy, dolphin high, hope high school, okesuna high and other state schools while ajebutter kids attended Holy child, Girls secondary ,ADRAO and Aunty Ayo girls school.

This Holy Child used to be the butt of our jokes with their four cardinal point school cap and we made fun of them calling them : igun merin agbaye.

l bet kids nowadays dont call them that anymore because they are born.civilzed now D

Anyway glad to be associated with.schools in lagos island

Eko.for.show

They have changed the school uniform, sef. It now looks rather ugly.

In those days the top was a sleeveless one, while the skirt was deep wine with a hemline about two inches above the knee. It was short and smart. But trust HC girls. During the era of mini-skirts, they made the hemlines much shorter.

And of course, some girls got themselves in trouble, because of their skimpy skirts. The only thing that has remained consistent, has been that unique 4-corner cap, that looks like a chorister's cap. St. Gregory's boys used to admire HC girls a lot in those days...

beejaychinedu:
Nigeria has changed beyond recognition, these photos has transformed Nigeria into the country we know today.

These photos are great! Where did you get them from? You could actually use them to create a whole TV documentary, you know.

chudionu58:
Is this pictures 60's or 70's

Ask the OP. Can't you see the title??

Ahhh, lovely pictures. It evokes this feeling of nostalgia. Life was peaceful in those days.

Why on earth aren't the Nigerian Inland Waterways (NIWA), and other coastal states exploring the option of sea freight, and using ferries to convey cars and goods along our coastal waterways in Nigeria, on a large scale?? Imagine if there was a well-equipped vessel conveying goods and passengers from Lagos to Asaba and Port-Harcourt on a bi-weekly basis. Just calculate how it would boost commerce in those areas, and take the weight of our roads..

,Finally, it was an igbo woman that gave u your first and only son. Congrats Fani and precious nwanem and i say welcome to our dear nwadiala.

The nwadiala that could not get married properly before putting to bed. Shame! Anyway, the title of baby mama is all she can get at the moment...

Wyttcat:
Deceit is unacceptable.
And it's still illegitimate. Out of wedlock and Ffk is still married to another woman. The baby gonna need triple DNA test. So that's fuckin big deal!

Wyttcat:
Hahaha Story!

Yoruba don't name their babies in the dark, they celebrate no matter how poor. This is a relationship that is made for internet with everything making it here, and a marriage picture couldn't come out? Don't worry, Ffk is one smoke puff away from telling the world where the baby came from.

Don't mind them. Marriage, my foot! When and where did FFK marry Precious? Was it inside their jacuzzi? The day I see the original copy of the DNA result, is the day I believe that FFK is the father of that boy...
