PoliticsRe: If Anything Happens To You, Your Family Will Suffer- Army To Police (video) by tony9k: 3:23am On Nov 12, 2025
Dogalmighty17:
Let's address this matter without any form of sentiments.
1. Why were Navy personnel sent to guard a property that doesn't belong to the government?
2. The land supposedly belongs to a retired navy officer who's service ended during Buhari's tenure. What authority does he have to request for active duty officers to secure property for him?
3. The FCDA had first sent their staff to that property seeing that the documents supposedly authorising the sale to the owner weren't duly signed by the appropriate commissioner in charge. Why were they stopped from carrying out their lawful duty?
4. The FCT minister serves at the behest of the president. Why was he impeded from carrying out his lawful assignment?
5. It must be asked at this point, where do the loyalties of the navy lie? With the president? If so, how was a retired navy officer able to give instruction to a serving officer to deploy armed personnel to guard his property?

I am no means a Wike apologist. I think he is too crude and lacks tact but at a time when a rumoured coup was supposedly nipped in the bud, the Navy should not be seen to be answering to the demands of a retired official. Who is it that received that order and acted on it? Was this order carried out with the knowledge of the Chief of naval staff? If yes, that's condemnable. If no, then it calls into question his fitness for the job.

Heads need to roll for this. Wike needs to be sacked as well. He could have handled the matter better instead of embarrassing the president.
A retired 3star general (former CNS) is entitled to some serving officers as Aides for life as part of retirement benefits

PoliticsRe: Ex-FCT Minister, Jeremiah Useni Dies at 82 by tony9k:
[quote author=DrTee1 post=133846468]Only fate prevented him from becoming Nigeria's President after the demise of Abacha.

Abacha was known to be terminally ill before he did, at least by the top hierarchy, and Jeremiah was the next highest ranking military officer after Diya, who was already on death row, pending Abacha's signature.

Bamaiyi raised the suspicion at the Provisional Ruling Council Officer's meeting following Abacha's death that Useni was indeed the last person who was with Abacha before he died that morning. Others present agreed.

The next person in line, after Useni was the Chief of Defence Staff: Major General Abdulsalami Abubakar who was not particularly in Abacha's good books, and was rumoured to be pencilled for retirement at about the time the Abacha transition to civilian rule was also heating up - just when Abacha died.




Politically he was next to Abacha but in Military terms Abdulsalam as CDS was next to Abacha
BusinessRe: Guinness Nigeria Reports ₦‎20 Billion Profit, 6 Months After Tolaram Takeover by tony9k: 7:12am On Jan 24, 2025
The major factor for the previous loss was finance cost especially of the foreign loans following the devaluation of the Naira. What the new investors did was a “re measurement of the foreign loans following” leading to significant finance income (see the report above). This is without prejudice to the other increased performance indicators - turnover etc

Where’s your passport?

I misplaced it. I declared it missing and the British Government replaced it, but it went missing again. I went back for the passport and I was told that I was careless with the British property and that it wouldn’t be replaced for me.
This cannot be true. The Passport Office will replace your passport as many times as possible once you pay the fees.
Foreign AffairsRe: Former UK Prime Minister, David Cameron Becomes UK Foreign Secretary by tony9k: 2:48pm On Nov 13, 2023
FreeStuffsNG:
Orishirishi.

David Cameron a.k.a Mr Fantastically Corrupt , after he got drunk and misyarned before the late Queen Elizabeth, has been demoted.

After he conducted the fiasco referendum on Brexit and ran away, he is coming back as a Secretary under a far junior politician Rishi Sunak who was about 29 years old when Cameron became the PM.Smh

The case of David Cameron is like that of someone who graduated from the university and comes back years later to have a resit in a sophomore year course.
Shows where politics is regarded as service and an individual is not bigger than an Institution. We should learn from such practices

Foreign AffairsDavid Cameron: From Prime Minister To Foreign Secretary by tony9k(op): 2:44pm On Nov 13, 2023
The appointment, today, of former PM (equivalent to our President) appointed Foreign Secretary (equivalent to our External Affairs Minister) shows a country where politics is regarded as service. In Nigeria it will probably be regarded as demotion and is unlikely to happen. Until the stop people becoming bigger than Office they occupy our politics will not give us the optimum benefit,

EducationRe: Naira Devaluation: Nigerian Students Face Tough Times In UK,Tuition Soars By 60% by tony9k: 1:43am On Jul 13, 2023
[quote author=Eriokanmi post=124378304]Hope they didn't say, awa lokan and voted along that line before they left the country. Now I'm beginning to really learn of leadership.

Leadership is divinely orchestrated. You don't struggle for it else, you'd mess things up. Of all the leaders known in this country, only tinubu grabbed power by hook and crook. Even when Buhari was so desperate, he never got it until he willingly surrendered and left the space.

From 1960 to date, none who ruled Nigeria got to power desperately and the history has shown and I'd start from the most recent cos of some indomie generation here.
Buhari was called to lead Nigeria after the successful coup in which he never participated.
Babangida, same. It was obj who said those who participated in the coup should consider IBB for the position. This is a fact not known to many, till now.



Just a few clarifications:

- Abdusalami was the most senior military officer when he became Head of State

- Abacha plotted to be HOS. That was why the clause ‘in the event of resignation of the Head of Interim government,

- Babagibda was involved in all coups till 1986
PoliticsRe: Profile Of Henry Dele Alake, President Tinubu's Spokesperson by tony9k: 12:19pm On May 30, 2023
lhordspy:
With due respect to his predecessors. This is not your regular placid or laid-back Femi Adeshina or Garba Shehu, who are only known for dish out defensive reactions and birthday shoutouts. This man, Alake is information manager and 'school-teacher' in one person.

Whenever you hear 'Goodday gentlemen of the press' ... Just know it is Mr. Dele Alake either ready to pass information in a very enthralling, engrossing and convincing manner while maintaining full professionalism.

Or he is getting ready to school intrusive, unprofessional pressmen. The 'busy-body' AriseTV lady who tried to misbehave during one of the then APC PCC press briefing can attest to the fact. Alake had to stop Fani-kayode from engaging in a war of words with the obvious partisan unprofessional journalist. Then he schooled her on ethics of journalism which she and the media house she works for; lack and also gave AriseTV a fair share of their own reprimandation as take-away.
If his antecedents especially during the campaign is anything to go by he will probably be no different from those guys

FamilyRe: Is Anything Wrong With Husband & Wife Sleeping In Separate Rooms by tony9k: 6:47pm On Apr 17, 2023
Mr A told his friend, Mr B that he has a separate bedroom from his his wife even though he has a 3 bedroom house. Mr B replied that his house has 4 bedrooms but shares a bedroom with his wife. He wondered how convenient the arrangement is for Mr A wondering how to navigate doing the show. Mr A said it was easy: If he feels like he knocks his wife bedroom door 3 times and the wife comes over. Mr B now asked what happens if it is the wife that wants to do, Mr A said it was also very easy. His wife comes to the bedroom and ask the question 'Did you knock my door 3 times just now?' and he catches the drift.

Jobs/VacanciesRe: What Does It Mean To Be A Teacher In The Uk? by tony9k: 10:05am On Dec 27, 2022
I saw his post on a whatshap forum last week and sent it to a friend who has been a teacher in the UK including the town under reference (Luton) for over ten years. The first thing he said is that the mode of enforcement of discipline for students in the Uk is completely different from Africa so any african in the UK will regards the discipline as lax. The treatment of children and young people is also different, An example he said is that corporal punishment (flogging) in african schools is basically abuse (child abuse) which africans (including some children) regard as right.

Apart from that Luton town schools generally are regarded as below average in terms of behaviour in the UK. A town close by - Harpenden - has 3 schools which are state schools where their behaviour is exemplary. In any school, especially the poorly behaved ones the critical issue is their behaviour management policy so if children are disruptive - throwing chairs making unnecessary noise etc they are warned and after 3 warnings are taken out of the class so others can learn. In each class there are a minority of students who are regularly disruptive and they can be sanctioned if persistent - from staying behind after school for 1 hour (detention) to exclusion for a few days to permanent exclusion.

It should also be noted that the attitude to teachers posted to schools temporarily (Supply Teacher) is different from a permanent teacher as students are more disruptive if the teacher is Supply. The narration appear as an exaggeration both from the behaviour of students (calling a teacher idiot and the racist language) and the authorities (the school will not condone such behaviour);

Like in the outside society you cannot touch anybody without permission so the sanctions approved is detention (staying behind during break, lunch or after school depending on the severity of the offence,

The poorly behaved students are a minority and the key issue is how the school authorities manages them
