The rot in the Customs service is of such monumental proportions tha it requires a no nonsense administrator to whip it back into shape.
Under Dikko Inde,the Customs had two salary vouchers-one with padded figures presented to the ministry of Finance as the renumerations of officers which was fake and another voucher which was smaller and the real take home pay/salary of officers.
Secondly Dikko verbally promoted a lot of junior officers multiple times over their seniors who were stagnated on one step for over eight years,which encouraged indiscipline in the service.
Dikko also encouraged a notorious smuggler called Dahiru Mangal to engage in cross border smuggling of petroleum products and arms and ammunitions which encouraged economic sabotage and militancy.
So personally I do not care where this man comes from as long as he cleans up the mess left behind by Dikko and sets the service on a proper path by clearing out the top management positions filled with Dikkos stooges and appoints competent personel.

I find this piece utterly confusing. The author has been married for 45 years to one woman and has just discovered it is not natural. He has just discovered polygamy is better than monogamy,so men and hopefully women too should/will be allowed to go into multiple relationships. Or does it apply to men alone?

I respect the retired CG of custom service, at least he did not allow one hater full of vendetta to mess him up . Kudos to you my man God bless your new endeavour

Let me enlighten you.
Dikko Inde forged all the certificates and documents he used to become the Comptroller general of customs.
He then turned the service into his personal fiefdom,where he verbally promoted junior officers loyal to him over their seniors and posted them to lucrative sea ports like Apapa and Tin can from where they made stupendour returns to him in dollars.
Dikko encouraged economic sabotage by encouraging notorious cross border smuggler,Dahiru Mangal, to import consignments of prohibited goods/illegal arms and ammunition through Jibiya border in Katsina state.
Dikko blatantly refused to pay so many retired officers their benefits which he appropriated and laundered these proceeds through the brother of a popular Nigerian musician,by building mansions and hotels in Dubia.
Dikko Inde promoted indiscipline in the Service by stagnating officers on one rank for over 8 years while his cronies and vassals enjoyed constant promotion.
Dikko Inde is richer than many states in this country. Probably the most corrupt civil servant that ever lived.

TheMadame would like this news.

Lalasticlala, ishilove.. Could you go through the thread in my link? I guess it is suitable for FP, especially who might not be aware of the corruption in Customs.

I will only believe this when I see this man behind bars for his criminality.
This criminal should be locked away and the keys thrown into the Atlantic ocean.
A thief of the highest order and a destroyer of the Customs Service!

Anything that blocks the daily stealing of Nigerias revenue in the Nigeria Customs Service is a joy to me. Anyone who can stop the looting in that department by that tin god,who personalised that place is a welcome developmemt.

Unfortunately it is this kind of Randy,despicable low life lecturers that we entrust to teach our children in our institutions of higher learning.
Lecturers who refuse to teach what they are paid to teach but instead coerce female students to exchange sex for marks/scores.
No female undergraduate is safe around such wolves in sheeps clothings,not even daughters of close friends.
Fair skinned,dark,dimpled,tall or short,-any damsel is fair game to them.
Mr Lecturer you are over 40 years of age and this kid entrusted in your care at 18 years is young enough to be your daughter.
Sick perverts like this make me sooo sick and disgusted. Our children should not be anywhere near sick fvcks like this lecturer. His appointment should be terminated and he should be locked up in a 4 by 4 cell for a long time.
Stories like this fry my brain cells.
Rubbish.

1. Turning the Nigeria Customs Service into his personal fiefdom where he verbally dishes out promotions to unqualified vassals without recourse to due process.
2. Promoting his vassals to positions of authority as Area Comptrollers,from where he recieves tremendous returns every week in US dollars.
3. Promoting economic sabotage through notorious cross border smuggler Dahiru Mangal. Trailer loads of prohibited goods are smuggled into the country without being checked with reckless abandon.
4.Appointments into the service of unqualified candidates,who are immediately posted to various commands with NO basic training in customs procedure.
5,Insitutionalising indiscipline into the Service,by continually promoting his cronies above their seniors,who are stagnated on one rank for up to eight years.

So I was at the bank about 2 weeks ago to withdraw some cash and trust me I needed more at the time.
So I approached this cashier and she asked
"sir withdrawal or payment? "
WITHDRAWAL PLEASE I replied quietly cause it has been raining all day.
So she instructed to make use of the POS.
So I did and she pressed some buttons on her computer
Without even saying a word to me
Dropped the money on the counter.
I felt a bit slighted but non the less I didn't really mind.
Then the miracle-i counted my money and low and behold she over paid me more than double of what I requested... Actually more than what I had in that account.
I counted again then I looked at her
She didn't even bat an eye.
From her demeanor you could tell she's had a work load filled day.

Then I said HELLO MADAME
she looked at me with those tired eyes
"yes? "
I THINK U OVER PAID ME
where the next words out of my mouth .
By now she adjusted a little and her countenance changed.
She just stared at me awestruck as I counted the balance and handed it off to her.
Then I walked out of the bank feeling better.
I know me... My conscience would prick me forever if I had looked the other way.
What point am I trying to make?
Sometimes we judge others by the way they TREAT us not really trying to understand them.
The banker probably gave me a cold shoulder cause she was exhausted...nothing personal.
If I had decided to take the money two things
1- she will be quarried which of course will appear in her report. Or
2- worse case scenario she would be sacked.
Perhaps you have been hurt by someone you adore and the only thing you think about now is REVENGE .
Things don't always work that way cause an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind .
Love is an attribute of the heart
True love isn't just showing love to those who show you love
Rather its showing it to those who don't "deserve it".
Be nice to someone today

What a positve post and thread. Keep it up OP. YOUR POST MADE MY DAY.

PDP lost the election because they had an extremely bad candidate in Goodluck Jonathan-a man who was most of the time out of touch with reality.
Simple.

Pluslargent:
I think its best a fresh thread be opened so we can let phemmy and osama resolve thier minor ish and also to prevent any form of misunderstanding of who the villian in the case in point actually is, it is only safe to assume revolution and all involved would know better this time who they are dealing with.
The more publicity this thing gets the more unbearable life will be for the culprit and the.more help could be recruited,hence the first condition to pull the former thread down.

Why should anyone opeb another thread,when Revlution has not complained that she is not satisfied with the way this drama has played out?
If she is not satisfied with the treatment she is recieving from inspiredM,the onus is on her to speak out/ask for the locked thread to be opened/or open a fresh thread.
Until she does one of the above options,I am gonna assume she has either recieved her dough back or has recieved her vehicle and is totally satisfied with inspiredMs services as a car dealer.

Pataki:




Nothing was more painful or spiteful than to see her last comment on that thread and the subsequent locking of that thread.

I sincerely refuse to be part of her issues with Inspiredm forthwith. Almost a month after her thread had been locked, yet ONE KOBO out of her 2.7 million naira, she is yet to get back.

Abeg let me keep quiet before my corrosive mouth says something I would later regret.

Goodluck to revlution.

She was warned severally,but chose not to listen till the wind was taken out of her sails.
I hope she gets her money back,although I doubt she will, she will probably be offered a poor version of what she paid for and by then she will grab it like a shot.i wish her good luck. It will be a lesson learnt for her to in future,trust nobody,when it concerns business.
As someone said before-it is de javu. Nothing is hew under the sun.
It has happened before.

Looking at the pictures of leakage and rust on the second page of this thread just did my nut in.
How can human beings be so wicked to another being.
A dealer actually sold you(osama10) this pile of crap as a vehicle and you accepted it?
This is extremely saddening and the height of wickedness.
Looking at the rust on that car made me realise that the vehicle is a danger to the driver of the car as well as other road users.
@Osama10, You must be a sickler for punishment,2011 to 2014, and you kept going back for more? How do you keep doing the same thing and expect a different result?
Shocking and mind boggling.

Gboliwe:
TheMadame! Awayu?

I am fine o.
I think I will sit this one out.
What is the point of giving advise or giving information,when all your comments could be deleted/hidden like on the Revlution thread? It is like banging your head on a stone wall.
My opinion to any one who wants to buy a car is,and has always been,trust nobody. Document all payments through reciepts accordingly if you must pre-order a vehicle,however my sincere advise as an old woman, is that you should go to a car mall and buy your vehicle-cash and carry. What you see is what you get in order to save yourself from heartache and sorrow.
I have rambled enough,so let me retreat and sit on the fence and watch proceedings. What an old woman can see lying down a child can not see from the top of a tree.

While the action of Pastor Okafor is commendable it is a drop of water in a mighty ocean?

My question again is-
1. Is it right for the Pastor/church to collect tithes and offerings from the congregation,then use these monies to build private schools/universities,which are then priced out of the reach of the poor members of the congregation,such that their children can not attend these schools?

A good sheperd should take care of his sheep. Are the modern day pastors and men of God doing this? And I mean both Christian and Muslim leaders.

SirHouloo:
Pastors don't extort money from members. Members only assess divine blessing from God through Tithes and Offerings. People are never under compulsion, they have choices.

I agree they are not under compulsion to contribute offerings or tithe but they do make these contributions to the Church.
My question still remains that poor members of churches like Convenant or Redeemed churches can not afford the astronomical school fees in these institutions,
so how has the church helped to feed their flock in conjunction with the instructions of our Lord Jesus?

I am so interested in the gospel according to John chater 21 verses 15-17.

15. When they finished eating,Jesus said to Simon Peter,"Simon,son of John,do you love me more than these?"
"Yes,Lord," he said," you know that I love you"
Jesus said,"Feed my lambs."

16. Again Jesus said,"Simon son of John,do you love me?"

He answered,"Yes,Lord,you know that I love you"
Jesus said,"Take care of my sheep"
17. The third time he said to him, "Simon son of John,do you love me?"
Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him a third time,"Do you love me?" He said,"Lord,you know all these things,you know that I love you."
Jesus said,"Feed my sheep"


The question in todays world,is can the men of God be said to be feeding Gods sheep?
When they build schools and their members can not afford to pay the school fees to allow their children attend such schools?
or
When the man of God extorts the tithe and offerings from the poverty striken members of the church in order to buy a private jet and live a rock star life style including body gaurds in Ray Ban dark glasses.
My question is, does this behaviour of certain pastors and churches reflect taking care of and feeding the Lords sheep or flock?
Please contribute.

First of all,I voted for General Buhari and I have no doubt in my mind that he is the right man for the job. However the snail speed of his governance in making vital appointments is stalling the progress and movement of the country.
The whole country is on auto pilot lock down.
Baba, please hit the ground running.
