desgiezd:
Mohammed Abacha withdrew? In spite of the withdrawal of his case and his meeting with the President?

Can one really understand this game called politics?

That was the outcome of his meeting with gej last week....use ya head

I received the invite for the interview the night before the D-day. The timing wasn’t ethical considering I applied for the job since May.
If I had my way, I would have ignored the invitation but 2015 is fast approaching and I was getting more desperate to be gainfully employed before the year runs out.

The company is located at the outskirts of Ojota. It took me one bus ride, one keke ride and a bike ride which cost a total of N400 to get there. Not to mention the early morning traffic I endured. I arrived at 8:30am against the 10am slated.

To stress how remote the location was, the network signal on my phone vanished when I got to the gate.

The company had no signboard, no cars were parked, the surroundings when unkempt… it could be easily mistaken for a residential building.

This better not be a ritualist den, I prayed silently.

I relaxed when a young lady emerged from a building best described as the company’s boys quarters and led me to the reception.

“The test would start by 10am” she said.

“Test? But I though its just interview?”

“There would be a 1st test, 2nd test and interview today.”

Very well. If they were going to be scrupulous in their recruitment process, it only meant one thing: THEY WERE GOING TO PAY GOOD MONEY!

By 10am, five other candidates joined me.

The exam sheet was sectioned in 30 quantitative reasoning questions aka patterns, 30 English questions and 40 tough GMAT questions.

The mathematics questions were not even multichoice. You have to work your way right to the answer without a calculator.

I solved most of the first two sections and did the little I could in the mathematics. Forty five minutes after, our answer sheets were gotten from us.

We were then assigned to different desktops where our knowledge in Ms tools were tested.

An hour later, the five candidates were screened out except me.

It felt too good to be true.

Then I was called in for the panel interview…

The so called panel was made of up the HR lady, the HR friend or whoever she was (she had no tag), the receptionist girl, one other random female staff and the gateman.

Except for the man, the rest of the team began firing me questions like I snatched their boyfriend or something.

“What are your weaknesses?” The HR said.

“But that’s not a weakness” The receptionist said.

“No No No! You can’t have only two weaknesses.” HR friend said.

“We want to know what are the bad things you secretly do but earnestly want to change?” The HR cut in again.

They were not going to shut up until I tell them my weakness is when I see a man, I start wriggling like an earthworm.

When it was the gateman turn to interrogate me, he said, “Wait o. Why did you study this kind of course in Nigeria?”

“Because I didn’t want to end up as a gateman.” That would have been my reply if I had no atom of humility.

At the end of the session, the HR excused everyone out except her friend.

“Can you resume next week Wednesday?” She said.

I nodded in affirmation.

“Your salary is N30,000. Any questions?”

I held myself from asking her why they tortured me with that sort of difficult exam and still went ahead to bring the company ancestors to interview me for a N30,000 job.

“No questions ma. See you on Wednesday.” I quipped sarcastically as I made my way out.

“One more thing” she added, “Its best you come on Monday so you can start processing your Sure-P internship application. Nobody here will do that for you. That’s where your salary would come from.”

I let out an inaudible sigh.

So technically, I was to do cheap labour in a nameless company for a position that wasn’t going to boost my résumé?

The 419 company wanted the best hands they could get yet they were not ready to spend one kobo of their money to train or motivate me.

I was so mad at myself for being the lab rat of a bullshit interview.

On my way home, I bought three cans of orijin in traffic and downed two carelessly in the bus amidst the stares from the passengers.

Just look at how uncivilised a bad day rendered me. SMH

This morning, an unfamiliar number called me.

“Its 8am. Are you not resuming work?”, a voice I recognised as the HR’s said.

Let’s assume I consider the offer:

Transport Monthly = 16800

2 cans of Orijin daily ( I would be needing this to keep my temper at bay before I go home and start smashing plates in rage) = 8400

One gala per day (abi I no go chop for work?) = 1050

Tithe = 3000

Subtract the total from N30000 and tell me in the comment box.

“Please I am not interested in your sure-Q offer. Thank you” I politely said and ended the call.

I am not the perfect employee, I may be a tad too desperate but that does not change the fact that I know my worth.

As Peoples Democratic Party in Imo State votes to pick its candidate for next year’s governorship polls monday Uneze, in Owerri, looks at those likely to win the ticket

The delegates’ elections of November 1 and the House of Assembly primaries polls held penultimate Saturday have seemed to confirm the frontline positions of some of aspirants ahead of tomorrow’s governorship primaries of Peoples Democratic Party in Imo State. Going by the already cleared and accepted primaries held across the state, about six of the over 40 aspirants for the governorship ticket are contesting the governorship primary. But they can also agree to harmonise their positions and choose one person who would be supported to wrest power from the All Progressives Congress.
Following are the aspirants.

Ihedioha
Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, is no doubt a frontline aspirant in the race for the governorship ticket of PDP in Imo State. He may only be waiting to be confirmed. In the ward delegates’ elections, loyalists of Ihedioha and those supported by his structures emerged as party delegates almost throughout the state. Apart from a few local government areas like Isiala Mbano and Owerri North, where other aspirants hold sway, the deputy speaker has emerged tops in the delegates’ polls.
Even in Orlu zone, where a political stalwart of the party is believed to be very influential, Ihedioha has broken very good grounds and is set to make a formidable mark at the primaries of tomorrow

Stunned by the brilliant performance of Ihedioha in the ward elections, some aspirants, especially, from Owerri zone, were said to have attempted a gang up against him by alleging irregularities in the exercise and a cancelation of the same. But the alliance of convenience crumbled when at least two of the aspirants said to have signed a petition to the national headquarters of the party denied being part of it and alleged forgery of their signatures. And that was how the gang up failed and Ihedioha’s hand was further strengthened.
In the Assembly primary elections to pick candidates, Ihedioha’s loyalists and beneficiaries of his state-wide structure also emerged victorious, further reinforcing his frontline standing among the contenders for the PDP governorship ticket. In some meetings with the delegates called at the instance of the deputy speaker, the party’s electoral college members openly pledged their support for Ihedioha, prompting some aspirants to get nervous and even contemplate withdrawal.

The deputy speaker is, no doubt, the prominent aspirant with the clout, capacity and political muscle to confront the incumbent and deliver Imo State for PDP. He is also financially ready for the task ahead, should he get the ticket.
The frontline place of Ihedioha’s aspiration was affirmed recently when he received accolades from key leaders of the National Working Committee of PDP. The national organising secretary of the party, Alhaji Abubakar Mustapha, who handed him the nomination form, showered praises on the deputy speaker, describing him as a leading light of the party. The PDP deputy national chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, received Ihedioha in his office and declared that the party was proud of him. Secondus said with aspirants like Ihedioha the party was sure of reclaiming Imo State. He said Ihedioha had showed loyalty and immense service to the PDP and President Goodluck Jonathan, especially, in the House of Representatives.

“We wish you well and we want to commend you for all you have done for the party as the deputy speaker. You have supported the party. You have supported the president,” the deputy national chairman had said.

Ihedioha has also received commendation and open endorsement from key party leaders in Imo State, including the leader of South Caucus of PDP and member of the party’s Board of Trustees, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, (BOT), former governor of the state, Chief Achike Udenwa, and Chief Francis Nzeribe, both of whom are key leaders of PDP in Orlu senatorial zone and, indeed, Imo State. Former PDP national vice chairman (South-east) and leader of the party in Okigwe Zone, Chief Fidelis Izuchukwu, has also commended the deputy speaker.

Besides, Ihedioha’s aspiration is supported by the zoning arrangement in the state. Of the three zones – Owerri, Orlu and Okigwe – that make up the state, it is Owerri zone, where the deputy speaker hails from, that is the most short-changed in terms of the governorship and the people have mounted a strong campaign for power shift to the area. Although, Ihedioha stands tall in terms of competence, qualification, preparation and visionary focus to govern Imo State, the zoning clamour will also count in his favour.

Ohakim
Dr. Ikedi Ohakim is one man Imo people would like to work with again as a second tenure governor. His first experience as governor between 2007 and 2011 was adjudged to be one of the best moments for the people in terms of its cleanliness, solid infrastructure, free flow of ideas and economic growth.
From the last House of Assembly primaries held in the state, it could be also said that Ohakim’s men, popularly referred to as Team Ohakim, gained some prominence. In Owerri West, former Development Centre Coordinator in the Ohakim administration, who has remained a staunch member of team Ohakim, emerged. The story was the same for Owerri Municipal.

In Orlu Local Government Area, some of the Ohakim’s men were also said to have scaled through the primaries. The former governor has strength and character and he is ready to spring surprises at the primaries tomorrow.

Agbaso
Chief Martin Agabso is another serious contender who is well respected both locally and internationally. He commands good followership from both PDP and All Progressives Grand Alliance. As a grassroots mobiliser, the Emekuku-born politician played a major role in the emergence of Chief Rochas Okorocha under the platform of APGA. Being the former leader of APGA in the state, Agbaso still commands support from the new and old PDP fateful. His strength lies in his grassroots appeal and he is widely addressed as “papa umuogbenye” (father of the poor). He is generally seen as a bridge builder due to his friend with virtually all other aspirants.
Having played a prominent role in the election of Okorocha in 2011, Agbaso is widely seen as the most equipped person to contest against the APC. His drawback may be that he seems not to have the financial muscle like Ihedioha and Ohakim.

Njemanze
As a lawyer, Senior Advocate of Nigeria, and former Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice in the state, Chief Ken Njemanze is widely seen as intellectually and emotionally prepared for the governorship position.
A knight of the Anglican Church and the son of the soil from the famous Njemanze dynasty of Owerri, Ken Njemanze is a quiet and fine administrator that has the blessings of some delegates.

Amadi
Rt. Hon. Bethel Amadi is the current president of the Pan African Parliament that sits in South Africa. Amadi’s leadership has been applauded for bringing about some unprecedented growth in the parliament’s global recognition and prominence. His desire to reposition Imo State is a task that may be supported by many delegates who believe that with his numerous achievements at the international arena Imo under him would be a success story.
Amadi has promised to generally re-establish good governance, restore and deepen local government administration as a potent instrument for sustainable development, create jobs for the youth population, boost agriculture, and ensure free and qualitative education and sound healthcare delivery systems.


Chukwueke
Chief Jerry Chukwueke is called “people’s choice” or “the great mobiliser” by his supporters. He is a popular in grassroots mobilisation. He is chairman of the State PDP Committee on Mobilisation, and this position made him popular among the powerful PDP power blocs as well as the delegates.

Chukwueke played a prominent role in the revitalisation of PDP in the state, he has continued to play a key role in efforts to ensure the party remains strong and united.

A Russian airplane intercepted by Nigerian authorities Saturday on its way to neighbouring Chad, was transporting a large cache of AK47s and bullet proof vests, and other items, the News Agency of Nigeria has reported.
Security operatives at the Malam Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano, on Saturday seized the plane which landed at the airport at about 2a.m. as a result of technical problems.
Crew members of the airplane have been detained while investigations are ongoing, NAN quoted a source as saying.
“Security has since been beefed up at the airport in order to ensure proper investigation,” the source said.
The general manager of communication, Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, Yakubu Datti, confirmed the seizure of the plane.
He said the pilot sought permission to land at the airport after the plane developed problems.
“The plane had a technical problem and the pilot sought (for) permission to land at the airport’’, he said.
Mr. Datti said security agencies had since commenced investigation into the matter.
Security sources told PREMIUM TIMES the plane was travelling to N’djamena, the capital of Chad.
A spokesperson for the Nigerian military, Chris Olukolade, could not be reached on Saturday for comments.
The spokesman of the Joint Military Task Force in Kano, Col. Eze, did not also respond to telephone calls.
The Police spokesperson in Kano, Magaji Majiya, said details of the arrest could only be provided by the airport security.
This is the third time since 2009 that a Russian plane loaded with arms would be arrested in Kano.
The detained planes were later released after investigations.
The destination of the latest aircraft has however raised concerns amid increasing worries in Nigeria over Chad’s alleged role in the Boko Haram insurgency plaguing Nigeria’s
North east.

Bomb dey ya head? Can't he be president by 2019? Will you block him? Be like say nut comot ya head

DickDastardly:
Seeking notice? Ignored

Pls ignore the fool he might be an apc member try to win the Joy award (janjanweed of the year)

FastShipping:
SMH! You need to read Buhari's profile. Some of you just say things for the sake of saying it and disgrace yourselves while doing it. Educate yourself to avoid being disgraced in the public. Buhari attended Nigerian Military Training College, Kaduna, 1962; Mons Officer Cadet School, Aldershot, United Kingdom, 1962-63; Defence Services Staff College, Wellington, India,1973.

And that's the way orji uzor kalu told us he has a degree too heheheh

Iroh88:
This has always been my problem with some of you people. Your utterances lack common sense. Anyone who criticises the president must either be an APC member or an "Aboki".

Smh.

Your worries

You got more chance there than other states unless you sure you can score high in post jamb then goodluck
