Please house i need your advice. A friend who works in a real estate on the island here in Lagos, came to me over the weekend to seek for my advice on what to do about his job as his considering quitting...reasons being that

*Over the past few days, his boss the MD of the company have been on his case, complaining about his output, increased monitoring of his daily activities and using words like 'Am tired of you', 'You're inefficient' etc

* Recently he had a fallout with his direct boss in the office, who in turn issued him a query

He has being working on a business idea for sometime and have even registered the business, what is remaining is for him to launch out. He's thinking of quitting rather than wait to be sacked. is his fears correct? or should he stay on, improve on his work delivery, smoothing things with his oga's and then ease out quietly or wait to be sacked?

The house, i need your help on this one..

One thing he must understand and every salary earner must understand is that at a point in life....you will leave that job


No guts no glory
I can take anything from my boss but not bruising my ego n dignity


This is the time


No venture no success

After several episodes of the drawn battle for supremacy and a needless flex of power muscles between the Executive and the Legislative, the presidency has made a move to resolve the crisis. The presidency has set up a committee to negotiate and lobby the house in a bid to seek lasting peace to the issue between the two arms. The committee will also try to repair the working relationship between the executive and the 8th senate.

Announcing the constitution of the committee yesterday after the weekly Federal Executive Committee (FEC) meeting, the Minister of Information And Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed stated that the executive had become concerned by the way the relationship between the two arms had deteriorated in recent months. The minister stressed the importance of a cordial relationship between the two creations of the law as the only way they can ensure progress, and delivery of dividends of democracy to the citizenry.

The suspension of the confirmation of INEC Resident Electoral commissioners by the Senate which cited the refusal of the President to sack the acting chairman of the EFCC, Mr Ibrahim Magu whose appointment as the substantive chairman was rejected for the second time on March 15 as the basis, is the latest event in the fracas between the two bodies since the beginning of February.

In another of such events, the Senate drove away the Comptroller-General of the Nigerian Customs Service, Alli Hameed, for failing to appear before the house in his uniform. They have also recommended the removal of the customs boss, while criticising the action of the Attorney General of the Federation for writing the house a letter on Hameed’s behalf. The Secretary General of the Federation, Babachir Lawal has also failed to appear before the house in the ongoing investigation into alleged mismanagement of funds allocated for the welfare of Internally Displaced Persons in the Northeast. Most recently, the Senate, on Wednesday 29th March, summoned the chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, Prof Itse Sagay, over comments made regarding the suspension of the confirmation of the INEC officials. The renowned legal practitioner has since stated that he would not be honouring the summon as the senate lack the power to summon him.

These events have resulted in the unnecessary extension of debate on the 2017 budget which has been with the house since December 14, 2016. It is, thus, commendable that the president has now seen the need to break the show of force and negotiate with the senators who would not mind ensuring the president does not fulfil his manifestoes. The 8th senate, as it has largely shown, has nothing to lose by engaging in power play; the weight is on the presidency. So, it is wise and necessary for the President to find a way to ensure that he achieves his goal.

Nonetheless, it is particularly baffling that the president has allowed the case of the Acting Chairman of the EFCC to degenerate into this mess. With the law of the country silent on what comes next after a second rejection, all the president had to do to keep Magu as the Acting Chairman of EFCC was put out a statement to that effect. The inability and ineffectiveness of the presidency in handling its own affairs has given the senate the opportunity to further expose the lacuna within the executive.

It needs to be stated that it is within the power of senate to summon a public servant who works in any set up with a certain amount of money voted for in the budget. Thus the failure of the Secretary General of the Federation to appear before the house as well as the insistence of the presidency in keeping an overaged permanent secretary in the Ministry of Education beyond her retirement age is disregarding of the constitution.

In resolving these outstanding issues, the president, in addition to an expected success of the reconciliation committee in dialogue with the legislators, must put his house in order, and ensure a functional executive arm of government where everyone is reasonably subject to constituted authority.

“Fulanis from across the country and neighbouring countries gathered here last week and they requested for my permission to go and retaliate but I insisted that they should sheath their swords. Said Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, Kwara State Chairman, Alhaji Usman Adamu. This is the position of Nigeria as it stands now. Lately, Nigeria as a country has been confused on what to tag the Fulani herdsmen, killing along their paths and causing wanton destruction.

Anyone, soldier or not that kills the Fulani takes a loan repayable one day no matter – Nasir

Fulani as a tribe has a dossier of violence in their history so it is today. Unlike other African tribes, Fulani as a tribe has refused to let go some of the vestiges of violence.

Historical Background:

Majorly Muslim adherent and a bit wary of modernism. Accrding to online sources (Wikipeadia) it puts the tribe in this way: The Fula people or Fulani or Fulɓe (Fula: Fulɓe; French: Peul; Hausa: Fulani or Hilani; Portuguese: Fula; Wolof: Pël; Bambara: Fulaw), numbering between 20 and 25 million people in total, are one of the largest and a widely dispersed Muslim ethnic group in Sahel and West Africa.The Fula people are traditionally believed to have roots in the people from North Africa and the Middle East, who later intermingled with local West African ethnic groups. As an ethnic group they are bound together by the Fula language (Fulfulde), culture, history, their religious affiliation and their efforts to spread Islam in Sahel region and the West Africa. Also the source continued : The Fula people are widely distributed, across the Sahel from the Atlantic coast to the Red Sea, particularly in West Africa. The countries where they are present include Mauritania, Ghana, Senegal, Guinea, the Gambia, Mali, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Benin, Burkina Faso, Guinea Bissau, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Niger, Chad, Togo, South Sudan the Central African Republic, Liberia, and as far east as the Red Sea in Sudan and Egypt. With the exception of Guinea, Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger, where the Fula make up the largest ethnic group, and Fulas are either a significant or a minority ethnic group in nearly all other countries they live in.

Strides against modernization:

More of cattle rearers and sometimes rustlers, this has put the tribe on a war path with their host community as we see in some villages outskirts of Jos, a sleepy town somewhere in the middle belt of Nigeria. Like a thief in the night, they struck, killing innocent women and children. Intermarried with the Hausa tribe, another predominantly Muslim tribe in Nigeria , making it hard to distinguish them. Distinguishing the Fulani from the Hausa is like differentiating between six and half a dozen or differentiating a leopard from a jaguar. They are defined in this term by Wikipedia : Fulani herdsmen or Fulani pastoralists are nomadic or semi nomadic Fulani herders whose primary occupation are raising livestock.The pure Fulani pastoralist engages in random movement of cattle while the semi-nomadic makes trans humance migration and return to their camps or homes.

Loving their livestock for than themselves, they are notable nomadic and have remainded so, right from ages. Though, the human has evolved from a nomadic lifestyle to homom habililis then homo sapiens. But,as it stands , the majority of Fulani herdsmen wander around with their cattle, making it difficult to domesticate them.

Though , they love their cattle, but, the people whose farm has been destroyed and live snuffed out of don’t love the Fulani Herdsmen. In short, they will love a situation where they will not want to have anything to do with them.

In May 2016, Governor Ayodele Fayose, Nigeria’s enfant terrible and governor of Ekiti state and a member of PDP(opposition party) prohibited cattle grazing in Ekiti state in order to prevent the growing violence between farmers and herders. This announcement came shortly after the death of two Ekiti residents following a violent clash with herders in the state, as well as countless other reports on farmer-herder violence across Nigeria and the perceived threat that herdsmen pose to settler communities nationwide. Though, this move has been criticized as a ploy to slight the president who is a Fulani and has been accused of paying lip services to the incessant killings.

“In 2014, more than 1,200 people lost their lives, according to the most recent Global Terrorism Index. This made the Fulanis the world’s fourth deadliest militant group, the report said.” Said BBC report

This has placed the group in a enviable position and a few yards from dreaded ISIS, though the president of Nigeria, who himself is a Fulani man and has a ranch , He has put a lot of machinery in motion to ensure that the menace of these sets of people is curtailed. Fulani Herdsmen has done a lot of damage to his image, to his tribe image and above all to his religion( Islam) .

In some quarters, people have complained that the president is paying lip service to these killing, others have said that it’s an orchestrated effort to Islamize the Southern Nigeria . This is coming after Enugu ( A regional capital of Igbo who are 99% Christian) killing, which up till now there hasn’t been any conviction, then Ile Ife ( a holy city to Yoruba and their cultural capital)

Ride against Mordenization:

Killing in the middle of the night and the day come as a result of either destruction of farmers or host communities trying to safeguard their farms and properties. The Fulani herdsmen have a way of reogarnizing and regrouping to launch an unprecedented attack that kills up to 70 people in one swoop! As we saw in the case of Zaki Ibiam which happened a few days ago. A call as being called for the federal government to develop a ranch and train them on the nitty gritty of modern day agriculture.

Known to be averse to anything modernization, modern ranching system isn’t an exception. The Nigeria Government wanted to take an escapist route of creating grazing bill. This is in a bid to take tgrazing field by the government and give to the Fulani. A move that was rebuffed by well meaning Nigeria.

“Why can’t the Fulani herdsmen who hail from the North simply subscribe to modern, civilised culture, acquire land formally and establish ranches in the North?” Ayo Foyose

Though, the Grazing Bill has been thrown out, some states have tried to be politically correct by giving out lands to these herdsmen to graze. With the high level of illiteracy and low level of education amongst them, showing them the rudiments of ranch system will be slim. It will take another three decades to see a Fulani cowboy as we used to see in Texas and Colorado, there might not even be a Fulani cowboy. Education and domestication will be paramount. As the Fulani herdsmen refuse to domesticate, taking Islam to a new realm and wandering about with heir cattle , without any imperative action by the national administrators. Nigerians must learn now to sleep with one eye open and guard themselves for the consequences that might occur, either nicely or badly.

This is height of stupidity, you come openly nd talk this and disrespect your father

This is unlike the culture of Africa

Means nothing ..a husband sprays money in his wife ended up spraying the money on himself because the wife will give it back to him

So who are we deceiving him

It's pathetic that this is coming from imo state...rochas ia becoming a agent provocateur.


It's well,we dont want disunity in igbo land...I am not from imo or Enugu state but I think these won't go well


Rochas allow this man to be

NafeesaAA:
It's not a Dangote company or investment, and yes it is very true even though from the outside it looks like one of those aabondoned projects by government, but it's actually a manufacturing automobile company silently in function, one of our staff was opportune to be there on 3 occasions for maintenance of 4 of our Vans bought there, I also was opportune to be given a tour of the production line by the Indian engineer at that time, to top it all up I got a commission also for directing a client of mine to purchase 2 Vans, I guess this is a valid testimonial of me and NTM Zaria road Kano. Lastly I had asked the Sales rep and engineer why they aren't loud but they just laughed it off and said we are very much on ground......

Why would they blow their trumpets ? Thanks you said that youvwere given tour by an Indian engineers ..so why blow the trumpet when the Indian is giving you tours

So don't bet your chest yet till it's wholly owned and operated then conceptualised by any Hausa Fulani dude

For now,i think it's will be nice if we leave them in oblivion

Jazzlite:
Dangote is hinged upon government and devilish waivers that can pay up our national debt

That's why I don't respect him
He was spoon-fed

saintdennis:
Sorry bro...please elaborate

When you in the big leagues you play to win...

You can't go nationwide without govt support...ask yourself how come others are not enjoying the support?

I mentioned the example of innosson, a yoruba friend of mine last week told me he saw an innosson car in lag, he commended the design...he was amazed.

Nigerians are determined to patronise MADE IN NIGERIA. Look @ our movies, music, fashion, cement etc. It's booming only a matter of time before our vehicles too become the in-thing...after all forex scarce.

It behoves on mr innosson to go and rub minds with politicians to ensure his businesses get public backing...charity begins at home I guarantee you if okorocha, obiano, nqwanyi, umahi, ikpeazu drive an innosson car give it 6months 1-in-5 cars will be innosson (in southern nigeria)

He needs to learn to liase with govt. Even Ben Bruce a bayelsan is pushing the product pass easterners dem in govt

If innosson fails don't be surprised another igbo man, or even any other tribe with govt connects will spring up a factory and b4 you know it he takes over the lion share of the market.

He will not fail and mind you most business are not hinged to government

Allow forces of demand and supply to determine

May he rest in peace


One reason I am scared of working for people and even Nigerian government...you que to collect pension

But in self employment your business grow with you and you sit on the group head calling the shots


It's unfortunate

Unapologetically igbo man here

ehikwe22:
You only saw one Igbo name which is Nduka, is Obaigbena an Igbo name? is Irabor an Igbo name? is Ovia an Igbo name? one Igbo name makes all the names become Igbo?

Do you know that we have ovim village in ebonyi
Irabor is an Igbo name and has igbo meaning
And it also have Edo meaning

What Sterling (and you) did is like jumping onto a trending hashtag without full knowledge of the origin. Check the trend of their communication (creatives inclusive) and see the consumer personality reflected then come back and apologise to your oga.

omonnakoda:
Some people lack sense so let us lend them a little.
Ikwerre Youths say they denied being Eboe. Really? Where were these youths at the time of denial? Had they been born? The War ended 46 years ago. A 46 year old man is not a youth and a 46 year old man would only have been told what happened ,never a witness. It is the Elders that denied that should come out and recant the denial.They should come out and hand over the abandoned property they coveted. Let Elechi Amadi and his coeval recant

I have always detested your submission...but this is the first time you are logical

HopeAtHand:
Very lame analysis. There is no correlation whatsoever between that Bible parable and the Ikwerre situation.

You can allow misguided elements like Ezepromoe to continue fanning Igbo optimism but i'd state it clear for all to note that long before the civil war, during and after colonial era, Ikwerre had through several medium sought a distinct identity from Igbo.

The defeat of the Igbos in the civil war afforded us a window of opportunity to achieve our demands. To us, the civil war was only a means to an end.

Taaaaa mechionu...onye mbamiri
Proximity to fish has a lot to do with your reasoning

Ugomba:
Even the last Oba of Benin warned ikwerres to stop claiming Benin in his last book. "my humble self at your service"
wetin connect Julius Agwu to benin?
Lol. The pathetic benin wannabes.

Don't mind the lousy lots

Adaure4ever:
oh pls shut up! What the funky hell re the ikwerres feeling like?
Comparing Igbo and ikwerre is a punishable insult because you people are not worthy enough to compete with Nnewi talkless of Anambra alone.
I just hate it when Rags try to feel as if they are important..

Who are the ikwerre ...is it the kaikai drinking people

Ugomba:
Ikwerres- the pathetic benin wannabes.
Hahahahaha.
Even the last oba of benin warned them in his book " My humble self at your service" to stop claiming benin origin.
Who wants the lazy drunkards with identity crisis in their history.
Ikwerres will stain Benin history.
