Biafranqueen, phockphockman and every south easterner spoiling for war. Lemme ask u one question: Have u seen war? Have u bothered asking those people who witnessed d civil way to share d horrors of war with you? Do u think the south east can bear the economic and social effect of a new war(remember, the effects of the 1967-1970 war is still being felt) do u believe the east can realistically battle against the rest of the country? The east doesn't even have an army the last time I checked. War is something we should all pray to avoid. You might not be a victim but what of d children in the villages? Pls read there was a country by Chinua Achebe and try search pictures of d starvation and epidemic occurred as a result of that war. My take on d appointments: The INEC appointment was based on seniority(should he go against laid down procedures just to satisfy ur tribe) As for his ADC, CSO, and state chief of protocol, we both know northerners are more into the army(for every 1 eastern army officer, u get @ least 5 northern officers). For the Post of the AGN, an exam was written and d best was selected. As for Garba Shehu and Femi Adesina's appointments, those men actually contributed to his election(particularly Garba Shehu who was d presidential campaign spokesman) or should he ditch people who struggled with him just to satisfy u? As for Ekweremadu, if the South east produced senators from the APC, there won't have been an argument as to where the SENATE PRESIDENCY not even the deputy would have headed. So, to make ibos feel good, they should neglect people who actually worked to see the administration come to fruition? Wait till every appointment is made. For now, pls stop spoiling for war cause the East will be worst hit..... Not forgetting the ibos' assets outside the southeast. Nnamdi Kalu is just seeking relevance. In d event of war, he'll simply take his things and run outta Nigeria. BTW, thanks to Gowon, Awolowo, Obasanjo, Murtala Mohammed, Muhammadu Buhari and every soldier who fought to keep Nigeria one.... If not for them, I might not have met Chioma the love of my life

mentorken05:
@OP I think d entity called Nigeria is much more important than any tribe....it should be all about ability and capability than religion,tribe or zone....I don't have problem with whoever PMB appoints with regards to his cabinet....when I will have problem with them is if they don't perform.... am an ibo boy and the last time I checked few of them performed with regards to ministerial appointment or otherwise thus taking away the role model factor from us or have u forgotten an ibo man dat sleeps in the middle of a meeting in the executive council or the ibo lady dat buys 2 BMW cars with over 250 million naira or the other lady that can't account for missing 20billion dollars in d petroleum industry?

IlekeHD:

The accused had property worth hundreds of millions of naira.


Alase, has a duplex at Oluyole Estate in Ibadan, a shopping complex, a warehouse at Podo, a fenced plot at Dugbe, a block of four flats at Apeye, two plots of land and five-bedroom flat in other parts of the state capital.

He was alleged to have a credit balance of N132m in one of his bank accounts.

Alase possessed a block of five-bedroom flat at Apete area of Ibadan and a supermarket at New Garage, Apata area of Ibadan.

Other accused persons, including Olaniran Adeola, Ayodele Adeyemi, Isiaq Akano and others were also said to own property in[b] South Africa, filling stations, cement shops, schools, supermarkets, exotic cars and buildings in several locations in Nigeria./b]

Mrs. Afolabi Olunike, was alleged to be the owner of a duplex, several plots of land, a storey building and another three acres of land.


Kolawole Babalola, Olaniran Adeola, Toogun Phillip, Ayodele Adeyemi, Isiaq Akano, Oyebamiji Akeem, Alase, Ajiwe Adegoke and Idowu Oguntade, who is still at large.

This people had more or less made it in life on the back of proceeds of crime. Corruption is in the blood stream. Buhari has a very tough job ahead!

Demdem:
Rivers state remain work in progress. Wike will continue from where Amaechi stopped albeit the little time he has before the thug is booted out.
This doesn't change the fact that Amaechi remains the best Rivers governor in recent times in terms of infrastructural development.

Ezenwammadu:
Amaechi is a big disgrace to goverance

atlwireles:
Amaechi was fighting for Soku wells May God never allow another Amaechei 1000000000 kilometers close to any Nigerdelta government again.

APC govs fault Okonjo-Iweala on unpaid salaries

The All Progressives Congress has called on the
President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, to probe the
individuals responsible for the inability of
government to pay workers’ salaries.
The Imo State Governor and Chairman, APC
Governors’ Forum, Rochas Okorocha, said this on
Thursday.
He said that President Goodluck Jonathan and the
Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, must
take responsibility for unpaid salaries and the poor
state of Nigeria’s economy.
Also, two APC governors faulted the claim by the
Federal Government that many state governments
could not pay salaries because they did not
prioritise the payment of workers’ salaries.
They included Oyo State Governor, Abiola Ajimobi;
and his Osun State counterpart, Rauf Aregbesola.
Speaking in separate interviews, the governors on
Thursday laid the blame for the inability to pay
workers’ salaries on the doorstep of the Federal
Government.
Okorocha decried a situation where state
governments had found it difficult to pay workers’
salaries, maintaining that the President and the
minister should own up to their mistakes.
The governor, who spoke on Thursday through his
Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Sam Onwuemedo, argued
that Okonjo-Iweala should not have shifted the
blame since the complaint of the inability to pay
salaries was also coming from some of the Peoples
Democratic Party-controlled states.
Okorocha said, “God has begun to do something for
Nigerians. The man, Buhari, who is coming in now,
is a person who does not joke with discipline. When
you talk about discipline, it is all-embracing. He will
bring financial discipline into the system.
“By the time the man takes off, most of these things
would be corrected. When the man at the helm of
affairs is disciplined, invariably, other people must
follow. Have you asked yourself the issue of the
missing $20bn? All of a sudden, it was linked to
somewhere. Nigeria is a rich country because God
blessed this country. It will only take a strong
leadership to get things moving.
“Buhari must set the ball rolling. Nigerians know
why they voted for him. Even though he has said he
will not probe anybody, but in the current situation
we are, when it becomes necessary, with all these
monies taken away by individuals, he should
recover them for the country. If need be, he
(Buhari) should put some of them on trial so that
others will be very careful.
“A few Nigerians cannot be holding the entire
nation to ransom. Whatever it takes to recover
Nigeria’s money, it does not matter whose ox is
gored; he should go ahead and do it. He must
deviate from the old system for this country to
move forward.”
Mr. Festus Adedayo, who is the special adviser
(media) to Oyo State Governor, Senator Abiola
Ajimobi, said the Federal Government was wrong to
pass the blame on state governments.
A statement by Adedayo on Thursday said that the
fall in the allocation accruable to the states was
responsible for the financial challenges being faced
by states.
The statement read, “The Federal Ministry of
Finance needed to be told the equivocation in its
own statement. According to it, the FG had gone to
banks in the last few months to meet its salary
obligations.It also acknowledged that allocations to
state governments had reduced by 50 per cent.
Truly, the Oyo State government, which used to
collect about N4bn, has had same reduced to a
little more than N2bn now.
“Before now, we were paying our workers on or
before 26th of every month. How do we meet our
salary obligation of about N5.3bn with such
colossal reduction?”
Reacting, Rauf Aregbesola said his administration
had prioritised payment of workers’ salaries, adding
that the state had been augmenting workers’
salaries with its hard-earned savings since 2013.
A statement by the Director, Osun State Bureau of
Communication and Strategy, Mr. Semiu Okanlawon,
on Thursday, said, “If it is a matter of priority, then
Osun would not be among states that do not
priotise payment of salaries of workers.”

Yet some moronic flatttheads will be talking as if their lineage or that of their leaders can measure up anywhere near Awo's as far as this nation concerned.

What is wrong with the pdp? They employed the great 'game changer' and he has done his job

MzJackBaueress:
Shut up temitemi!

Ojota and Lanre at Igando are approved dump sites by the lagos state government. They are entirely different from what the Op is saying about Abia state.

Go back to the dump site at Igando and see the recycling plant LASG constructed to manage the waste.

Yeye!

Sadly enough, this is true, Peter Obi turned Anambra to something else. The people of the state would really appreciate the foundation he laid in the coming decades. It's not about my people my people, tacticians don't shout on radio.
