Story for the Gods

You guys need to be fair to the bank. They were merely caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. EFCC is a federal government commission and now Fayose. They were merely following instructions. 419ners and fraudsters have been caught by this means. We are only crying foul because of the persons involved and the sentimentality of an 8-month baby involved also. If the EFCC has a valid reason backed up with evidence for their action. I support them. Whether nursing mother or not, a criminal is a criminal.

Nigerians should stop defending and worshiping politicians. Nigerian politicians have so far proven that they don't have the interest of the masses at heart.

Please the bank should not be victimized as they were merely following orders from an anti-graft agency of the Federal Republic.

Unfortunately a good 90% (i'll bet) of Nigerians are blissfully ignorant and to compound matters.. direly illiterate. They would rather believe what their pastors and imams tell them or better yet, defer to Telemundo or Nollywood for cogent advise on life-changing matters than use their god-given sense to think things through.

The corn you eat today was not the type present in West African regions until the colonialists combined them with pest resistant and more durubale ones from their own homelands, today Nigeria is a big name in Yams.. where did you think the source came from, Tomatoes, greens etc we just wake up and eat something we know not the history of and when science tries to do the same thing it did more than 50 years ago with resounding success.. some herbalists and food nutritionists (pure scammy pseudo-science).

The reason we are where we are today is self-evident.. we have allowed stark illiterates and crudely-bred buffoons to lead us. results are too clear to disagree with.

Please don't get it all mixed up. I may not want to go into any technical discussion with you on GMOs and how carcinogenic some of them might be but any ethical company MUST obey the laws - rules and regulations of its host community/country.
If they default, the hammer should be brought down on them. We have laws too in Nigeria you know.

Good one from Buhari! Not a fan though.

Which Cabal?

If there's any cabal in government today, Buhari is the head of the cabal.

Are you saying buhari is not aware of The Fulani herds men, who kill without government doing anything, Shia sect Muslims are being killed with state apparatus?

I still wonder why people just want to make excuses for buhari against all odds.

Even with the economy, they same people will still make excuses for buhari.

It's not ordinary.

I am not making excuses for him. I am only referring people to the more serious case pointed out by Aisha. Certain group of people are playing us which Buhari as u rightly say is aware of them.

I wonder why people are not referring to her allusion of a cabal hijacking our dear nation. This is a very serious matter.
Things are beginning to clear up now. Remember the delayed appointments of cabinet, the lopsided appointments, the laissez faire attitude of the president etc.
Please let's focus on the real issues here. The president is a pun on some people's chess board.

God help Nigeria.

Good move by PDP! Checkmate on APC!! APC not a match to PDP.

When you read comments from people, you will just shake your head. The way people defend politicians that do not even care about them is so foolish and sick to say the least. See Nigeria at 56, nothing to show for it. One step forward and ten steps backward.

Touch any politician and he will whip up ethnic sentiments and then the country will divide as usual and the crook will be let off the hook. People fighting over and for them keep losing their jobs, crying over petrol and kerosene pump price hike, inflation, dollar price, insecurities, lack of medical care, poor quality education, inadequate minimum wage, denied or delayed justice etc.

Tinubu is super rich and acquiring almost all investments in Nigeria while the yoruba land is crying everyday. Buhari and APC members are super-rich while foisting an unprecedented poverty, hopelessness and hunger on Nigerians through their actions and inactions. If anyone talk ill of them, then you will see one hungry, jobless Nigerian will start calling for your head.

I see this as one of the numerous problems of Nigeria. Nigerians worship politicians that have enslaved them by making sure that Nigerians remain poor, uneducated and hungry.

Well, this is my 2 kobo!!

Na so IGI took my money in the name of life policy and since then refused to give me back. I am now begging for my money. God help Nigeria.

Na dem o!

[color=#000030]But your pastors look at their femle members lustfully and sleep with them. . . What is good for the goose. . .

You can force a donkey to the stream, but you can't force it to drink water.

You have been avoiding the eyes of your future wife. Go back and don't try such mistake again. Look her in the eye and "want" her. Approach her after church and collect her number. It's better than asking strangers to add you.

Be a man.[/color]

Maybe mentors can add him...lol. But seriously for a guy to cry out like this means that he has not really been lucky with the ladies.
I suspect he has been meeting parasites in ladies form. If you are a nice lady maybe this is your chance too. Match-make with him and gist us after.

If not for this evidence some folks here would have doubted his age.

Fine girl, I need to chat with u. Add me on BBM - 798A5D60

Hmmmm....yours is better. Industrial and General Insurance (IGI) has finished me. I terminated my policy since last year, after contributing for 40 months faithfully, they deducted about 8% (~N124K) of my total contribution for terminating before maturity. Because I needed the money urgently for medical emergency. Can you believe that till today I am still begging for my money? I have reported to NAICOM - no action from them. I need help o! Insurance specifically IGI is scam!

mountlarry:
Locate the nearest NAICOM office closest to you and make your complaint. Your money will be paid in full or they risk their license.

I have complained to NAICOM and it has been a month now - no action from them. This month has made it 10 months I terminated my policy with them. How did I fall into this trap?

This post just made my day.

Nigeria state is bigger than any political party? What have you been able to do to all their nepotism, favouritism, bribery n corruption, fund mismanagement and embezzlement over the years! If you can't see the truth in his analysis, you are one of them and you are a thief

Yes thief! The ones that steal our money! Thief!

I won't stoop to your level of name-calling. As for the vices you mentioned, I have always and will always condemn it but in social media, discussion forums (online and offline).
My comment only stated that when making analysis, we should desist from comparing PDP with the nonsense APC is feeding us with. When PDP was in power, believe me, they got enough dose of their well-deserved criticism which culminated in their being booted out of office. Remember, two wrong cannot make a right.

I hope I did not waste my time explaining this to someone with low IQ.

TonyeBarcanista:
No one justified or rationalised the appointment.... Read again and you will get the message...

Read my comment again. You started by comparing what PDP did and so APC is doing it. Why the comparison in the first place. Why not just condemn it?

NgeneUkwenu:
Please Fayose, address only the IPOB miscreants...we are not interested in your Unintelligent and useless explanations...

If that is your profile pic, u are ugly o!

TonyeBarcanista:
Earlier this morning, I received a call from a member of my palmchat social media circle probing my silence on the appointment of 84-years old Otunba Senator Biyi Durojaiye as the new Chairman of Nigeria Communication Commission, a sector unarguably dominated by young people. Though I wasn't impressed by the appointment of Otunba Biyi, and I see it as another setback in the agitation for a generational shift in leadership, I still couldn't help but do a retrospection in PDP, that I am unfortunately aligned with at the moment to check whether it is any different.

About 24hours after the appointment of Otunba Durojaiye, the Makarfi led Caretaker Committee of the PDP released a 248-member National Convention Committee list and another 80-member Finance Committee list for the Convention. A look at the 328 Member Combined list will show names of those that came, saw and never conquered. No single individual within the youth age of 18-35 was considered. In the list, there are lots of people that are even in their Seventies(official age). On sighting the list, I told some members of my clique that young people are in trouble in both parties. Then I asked "What is the difference between the appointment of  Senator Durojaiye and the PDP Convention Committee list?"

APC AND PDP DON'T CARE ABOUT THE YOUTH
If you take a look at the ministers appointed by the government of President Muhammadu Buhari, the "youngest" minister as at time of appointment was/is Abubakar Malami (SAN), who is the  Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation. How "young" is he? He was 48years as at time of appointment in 2015, and now 49. Kemi Adeosun, the finance minister that people call "young" is also 49(a month older than Malami). Meanwhile, the Youth Policy in Nigeria defines youths as citizens of the Federal Republic of Nigeria within the age of 18–35 years. In other words, there is NOT a single Youth within Buhari cabinet... Even the Youth Affairs Minister is 54 years of age.

Under the last administration, the only youth that made it into the cabinet of President Goodluck Jonathan was Dr Nurudeen Mohammed, who was appointed at age 35, though the appointment was commendable, he was however relegated to the position of junior minister despite his performance in the Senate during screening exercise. Meanwhile, the former President would later appoint a 58years old two-time former Governor of Adamawa state, Boni Haruna as "Youth Minister". He would also appoint an 80years old Dr. Christopher Kolade as Head of Sure-P, and an 80-years old Bamangar Tukur as "Ambassador at Large". For those that may be unaware, Tukur was a Governor of Gongola state in 1983 (36years ago).

In truth, political appointment in this part of the world is about "sharing" the spoils among party top chieftains and not based on factors that will push the country forward. This is the norm in both PDP and APC, and unfortunately for young people, they are never considered in the scheme of things because they were not among the "FOUNDING FATHERS" of either parties.  The interesting thing about the whole event is that both APC and PDP have a form of established barter system where there is an unwritten code that mandates both parties to heavily reward any chieftain that switches camps.  This privilege is only reserved for "elder chieftains' not rank and file youths.

THE CHIEFTAINS OF PARTIES IN BOTH APC AND PDP WILL CONTINUE TO HOLD SWAY
If you look at both parties, for one to emerge as candidate for General election or Conventions, he must win popular votes among the "delegates" of the party. Who are these delegates?

While some may assume that the "youths" from both camps can mobilise themselves with their clear majority, both parties constitution doesn't work that way.

In the PDP for instance, to elect a governorship candidate, the party constitution provides that each ward will present 3 delegates, of which one will be a woman. To provide shield in case of hijack, the party provides that there shall be "AUTOMATIC DELEGATES". These automatic delegates include, National Chairman and Members of the National Executive Committee, Elected office holders from the state, Members of the Zonal and State Executive Committee,   LG Party Secretary, Treasurer, Youth Leader and Woman Leader, Former members of state Working Committee,  Former Governor and Deputy produced by the Party and  Former Speakers & Deputy Speakers.

A look at the "automatic delegates" has given the "Chieftains" undue advantage in the whole process. We shouldn't even forget that even the ward congress is organised by the chieftains and their wish stays. This is not different from APC... Well, their party after all.


NIGERIA NEEDS 21ST CENTURY LEADERSHIP
Nigeria is in a quagmire because the people that were the problem are the same group of people parading themselves as the solution, even when they either lack the cognitive skill required of 21st century leadership or they are simply there to further their business.

Our present crop of Governors and LGA Chairmen are unable to use modern skills to achieve wealth creation, neither are they able to utilise various resources in their domain to shoot IGR upward. Shamefully, most of them believe that governance is about sitting in the office and waiting for oil money to share. Some see governance as frivolty like  posing for pictures with the poor and those in need of good governance. Sadly, they couldn't consider it wise to appoint smart brains as Special Advisers to help shaping their administration.

NIGERIA YOUTHS MUST STEP UP
Nigeria Youths must arise. Our South African neighbours have grown beyond youth being part of governance but moved to young people taking over reins of power. Unlike Nigeria that keep permuting men of mid and late 50s-60s to succeed Buhari, South Africans are permuting lads of 33-45 to succeed Jacob Zuma in 2019.  We need a change in orientation and take that leap of faith for the sake of Nigeria and our future.

THE POWER OF YOUTHS
In 2013, a group of SA youths led by 33years old Julius Malema, a former President of ANC Youth Wing formed a political party called Economic Freedom Fighters. In 2015 August, they successfully secured a judgement from the Constitutional Court to order President Jacob Zuma and the Speaker to payback state funds that was used for personal effect. Before the judgement, the party participated in 2014 Parliamentary election and won a whopping TWENTY-FIVE seats out of 400 in the National Assembly, and Seven out of 90 in the National Council of Province. These are in addition to seats won in various provinces. In fact, they became the third force in South Africa.

In 2014 a 17-years old Joshua Wong, and other teenagers including Agnes Chow and Oscar Lai, and 21-years old Nathan law led fellow students to shut down Hong Kong for almost two months due to unfavorable pro-China policy. Even after the protest, these lads went ahead to form a Political Party in April 2016 Demosistō. Nathan Law(23) is the Chairman, Oscar Lai is Vice Chairman, and Joshua Wong is Secretary general. A key agenda in their manifesto is self-determination for Hong Kong people, and they have been growing in popularity despite government persecution.

I believe that I have said a lot. I wish to take a pause at this juncture.

As for my PDP friends, before you criticise Buhari for appointing an 84-years old man as NCC Chairman, please ask yourself whether or not PDP considered a youth in their own appointment. As for those young people that are justifying the appointment, I leave you to your conscience.

For comparing APC and PDP in your analysis....I will say it is a junk analysis and a complete waste of time. The Nigerian state is bigger than any political party and such what Buhari did is not advisable.

Your current school is trying to downsize. This is the safe way most establishments retrench their staff so that nobody will feel he or she was singled out. Just take the new offer as you can never be certain of the outcome of the re-application exercise.

“To me, it is a positive sign for our power sector. The decision of NERC to respect the court is a sign that conflicts and interests in the power sector can be resolved in a democratic environment. These are the hallmarks of a good economic and investment-worthy destination. There are silver linings in the cloud of the setback, which the judgement appears to represent.”

Why is this not affecting the pump price of PMS as the crude oil which is the raw material is down now instead the price went up? I dislike people that turn theories around to suit their nefarious acts. FG backing anything that will remove food from the table of most Nigerians.
