Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr and wife dress appropriately when doing exercise! They make sure their bodies are well covered and they work out together! These are guys who studied and worked in America for about 15yrs!

David(41)is the first son of arguably the richest pastor in the world and the heir apparent to the throne! He is well exposed, handsome and highly sophisticated, same for his wife,Kemi(40)! They would never wear singlets and boxers to a public gym. They use the gym facilities in their home thereby avoiding unnecessary temptations!

God bless you David and Kemi. May your home continue to blossom IJN.

If you can't even use Google to find out the process, better you keep quiet.
What stupid process are you referring that you can not detail here?

You think we are not informed? You think we don't know that there is separation of power between the executive and legislative arm of state government too.

The Attorney General of the state belongs to the executive arm of the state and if attorney General of state and state governor are done a correspondence about change of leadership in the national Assembly, it is simply for their information and notice.

The authority of the Attorney General or state Governor is not required to impeach any officer in the national Assembly by his fellow honourables.

After all, they voted him into office and they commenced the process to remove him from office as a principal officer. They didn't remove him from the house, only his constituency can remove him from the house.

So what are you blabbing about?

Lagos is a model state, you can't just wake up and impeach the Speaker or a Governor like they do in other state without following due process. Thumbs up to the President for intervening and doing the right thing. Even after impeaching him, they refused to listen to the President to give him a soft landing.

GAC is divided over his impeachment and Tinubu will do whatever it takes to ensure that GAC is not divided. Even when Tinubu intervened in Rivers State crisis, he asked Wike faction to stop the impeachment process against Fubara.
What due process are you talking?

Why can't the speaker be impeached?

30+ members, out of about 40, impeached the Obasa guy and you are here claiming due process wasn't followed.

The president has no right to meddle in the affairs of the Lagos State House of Assembly directly. Getting the DSS involved is a direct affront on the legislative arm of Lagos State govt.

Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir Elrufai has threatened that he won't fold his hands at anyone including any President who wants to fight him or Criminalise Him.

He said it will be total fight until he dies or the president dies.

He further boasted that anyone who doubts him should go and ask the late President Yaradua.

Elrufai had a running battle with Yaradua who he also accused of plotting to kill him and made him temporarily run into exile until Yaradua's death in Saudi Arabia after a prolonged sickness.

The former FCT Minister is reportedly not having a cordial relationship with current President Bola Tinubu.

And this video which seems to be a clip from an old interview during the Jonathan Presidency has resurfaced online, elicitating mixed reactions.

Sometimes, we wonder why stupidity and sentiments dictate you APC followers reaction to issues.

What makes you think I am a PDP supporter? You APC, LP and PDP politicians and followers are all the same. You think alike so I am not interested in your party affiliations.

Didn't your APC governor in Edo (Okpebolo or whatever he is called) not attempt to violate the law by sacking the LGA chairmen too.

You are acting lawless so I am not surprised but I will align myself with the position of the law on this subject.

APC should wait for the court to determine the Stay of Execution application before rushing to enforce the judgement.

You are not the judge and most certainly not a learned person.

If you are, you would know that it is best to await the position of the court on the stay of execution, since it has been filed before the court, before you rush for execution.

Anyway, let us see how you want to execute the judgement now. Get the police to execute it and let's see how it pans out.

But the stay of execution ain't been granted, so the judgement can be enforced.. remember Shaibu vs Edo State government..
Read the story from the news paper, there is an application for stay of execution in court.

Why can't APC wait to see the position of the court on the stay of execution. It doesn't take long for courts to decide it.

Why is APC rushing to execute a judgement that the appeal motion has been filed by the Osun State Electoral body?

So if you rush to enforce it now, knowing quite well that there is an application for stay of execution, and then court grants the stay of execution is granted by the courts, the Chairmen would again vacate the offices?

Does it make sense that way?

Nigerian politicians will not stop amazing us. Osun defender is telling the side of the story that suits them. See the story:

https://dailypost.ng/2025/02/10/appeal-court-reinstates-sacked-apc-local-govt-chairmen-in-osun/

Extracts:

"...... The court in a judgment in Tuesday ordered the immediate resumption of office of the council officials who are all members of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Meanwhile, the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission, OSSIEC, has filed an appeal against the Appeal Court judgement.

The government filed an application for stay of execution, pending hearing of the appeal.

DAILY POST recalls that on assumption of office in November 2022, Governor Adeleke sacked the local government officials after a High Court decision had earlier upturned their election.

The High Court sacked the council officials after their election which was organised by OSSIEC.

The Osun State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and other political parties had approached the High Court to challenge the council elections.

They prayed the court to declare the election as a nullity because it was only the APC candidates who contested vacant positions and the ‘options given to them was either a YES or NO’."

Based on this newspaper information, there is an appeal of that judgement and stay of execution in place at the court.

So why is Oyetola and his APC team in a hurry? Be calm and see it through at the courts.

Ah yes, our self-appointed Wailer of CBN Affairs has returned with another TED Talk on governance. It must be exhausting carrying all your righteous pride on your shoulders. Let me address your very deep concerns again..

1. “I am not completely certain about the legality…” Oh, you are not certain anymore? Fantastic! So you are leading this parade of outrage with vibes and assumptions? Maybe next time, you should try knowing before shouting. Just some common sense advise.

2. “Why not just make them staff?” Because the CBN needed actual reformers, not permanent salary collectors playing office politics. Consultants are brought in to fix, execute, and leave.

3. “What do you mean expertise isn’t cheap?” So you want A-list expertise to advise on monetary policy for a $362.81 billion on a roadside corn seller’s budgethuh Meanwhile, the Naira is actually stabilizing and foreign investment is picking up, but I guess real results don’t hit as hard as anonymous online tantrums Oh!

4. “You’d make a terrible CEO”....and you my Oga, would make an excellent head of the Ministry of Bitterness & Complain Without Facts. I am sure you are a premium candidate.

5. “We should put your CV on red flag” Please do. Maybe print it out and use it to wipe away your tears while watching the Naira hit below ₦1,600. Must be painful seeing reforms actually working.
grin

All your responses are petty and sentimental, though expected, but I will respond to your number 2 and 3. Kindly excuse me for ignoring the rest, I don't have time for petty banters.

2. Have you ever read a book - "Good to Great" written by Jim Collins or "Built to Last" by the same author? I doubt it so I want to recommend it to you.
Anyway, since we have an understanding that consultants are not permanent, as you said - "brought to fix, execute and leave".Then would you agree with me that CBN os a going concern, it will exist into the foreseeable and perhaps unforeseeable future. Don't you think the human resources that would provide solutions to the challenges, businesses and affairs of CBN should be permanent staff. Why do you think the case study companies selected for the research in "Good to Great" we're companies that have had minimum of 3 generations of Chief Executive Officers? It was generally accepted by the team of researchers that a great organization is such that has built a system powered, driven and operated by persons who come into the organization and fit into the system to keep the greatness running. They distinguished between organizations that were led by great leaders and great organizations that were driven by a system and preferred the later as criteria for greatness.
This is to tell you that you can only build, operate and sustain greatness in an organization when you recruit human resources with necessary qualification, skills set(including soft skills), attitude and intelligence and train the human resources on the organization's policies, strategies, culture, values, standard operating procedures and plans to enable them key into your mission and vision effectively. All I have explained is to tell you that recruiting and training permanent staff will help the management of CBN build a lasting greatness in the organization than engaging temporary consultants or staff that will come and go within a short period of time and definitely not focused on building a sustainable success because their deliverables and terms of employment are in the short term. CBN needs more of permanent staff and train them to succeed and be great. Who dares to say staff can't be reformers - you only need to start with a few in the right positions and the reforms will trickle down.

3. Every A-list experts must understand that the organization you apply to work. Infact, before you go for interview or when contacted by headhunters, you should do more research on the organization you would like to offer your services. You can put a price to your skills and quality but it is still the organization that will determine what remuneration to offer you and it is up to you to accept or reject it. That is the tradition in the employment market except for a few exceptions which often turn out to be poor recruitment strategies.
The CBN can put my position to test by advertising the position of the consultants and give fair and equal opportunity to all and let us see the lots of skilled, excellently qualified, experienced and equipped consultants that will offer to take those jobs at highly reduced remuneration.

Meanwhile, which naira is stabilizing, you call what we have witnessed in the exchange rate market since 2024 "stabilising"?

You said foreign investment is picking up but it has not translated into employment, improved personal income, standard of living and development of the people in Nigeria. If I have to discuss the economy with respect to the monetary policies of the CBN so far, you would assume that I am anti Federal Government or CBN so let's not go there.

And you - stop being delusional!.

Ah Oga , so you don’t care about the motives behind the smear campaign, yet you are here repeating the attack points verbatim? Na wa for you oh!

Since you’re laser-focused on consultants, let’s be clear:

Why hire them? Because cleaning up years of financial mismanagement requires expertise beyond the old guard.
Is their employment legal? Yes, the CBN Act allows it. No law have ben broken.
Why the remuneration? Because quality expertise isn’t cheap, and the results are showing, stronger remittance inflows, naira stabilization, and better financial oversight.... If you truly care about the real issues, these facts don't lie
Why not just use directors? Because the same directors were there when the CBN was bleeding.. spending over 8 trillion naira in interventions and yet the economy entered gutter. Fresh expertise is how you break the cycle of failure.

So lets be honest here... do you actually want answers, or just a reason to be upset?
You are nobody to get me upset; you are only speaking based on your understanding of management and business administration so I am only reading your skills set.

1. If you must hire them to do your "assumed and subjective" cleanup of financial mismanagement, why not employ them as staff?

2. I am not completely certain about the legality of their employment however, if it is completely legal, then why the noise about it?

3. What do you mean by the statement - expertise isn't cheap? The salary structure of CBN is not cheap either. Why should CBN employ individuals as consultants and pay them outrageous and exorbitantly, even beyond the remuneration of deputy governors. They are temporary staff for business sake and I think if their role and responsibility is defined and advertised for willing consultants to apply, we would see highly and more skilled and qualified consultants offer to take the jobs at highly reduced remuneration.

4. Are you saying that directors can't be replaced? If you feel you can't trust the old directors to do their jobs, you can employ new directors, promote new directors and head hunt new directors to have them drive your policies or culture or strategies that you desire in the organization.

You are just out to defend without reasoning critically, objectively and properly.
Business › Re: The High Price Of Excellence: An Exclusive On The CBN – Afusat Kassim by Wallade(m):
ejunkie:
Since you're so deeply concerned about legalities, I assume you’ve read the CBN Act and its provisions on hiring consultants? No? Alright, let’ me break it down for you.

1. Legality of Appointments? Absolutely legal. The CBN, like every institution, has the right to engage consultants for specialized work.

2. Are these roles duplicating directors’ jobs? That’s an easy one. No. Directors oversee departments, while consultants bring in external expertise to execute reforms at a strategic level. But let’s be honest, the real issue here isn’t duplication, it’s that these reforms are working, and some people don’t like that.... might i add I suspect you are one of the poor attack dogs they are paying to run faster than common sense.

3. Degrees and certificates don’t matter? Oh, but they do, especially when critics imply these women were picked out of thin air. If we’re going to debate the necessity of hiring, let’s at least acknowledge the credentials that make them worth hiring in the first place.

4. Why compare to foreign consulting firms when Nigeria is not the US or UK? Oh, I see. So when Nigeria hires PwC, KPMG, and McKinsey to advise on economic policy, nobody asks if their fees match "Nigeria’s salary scale”? But now, because these are highly qualified Nigerians, suddenly, we must earn “Nigeria-level wages” despite providing global expertise. I am getting you... However, I suspect you are not getting yourself
1. I am not certain that their employment conforms with the requirements of the CBN act in respect of employing consultants - non direct staff. The special nature of the consultants jobs, in this case, has not been proven beyond reasonable doubt.

2. How can you say these roles are not duplication? Directors don't just oversee departments, those are simply a middle management level responsibilities. Do you even know who and what a director is in an organization? I bet you have never worked in a highly structured organization otherwise you will not reduce Directors to middle level management staff. Do you know that the directors are almost at par with the governors(includong the deputy governors) in CBN. In a standard organization, directors are on board of the organization, they also include executive directors who actively engage in running the business affairs of the organization. Are you the one trying to reduce the directors to limited roles to create the need to employ consultants to do the works that directors, deputy governors can or should do. What then are those directors and Deputy governors being paid to do? I honestly think you are the one without sense of what a corporate organization should be, rather you are used to the limiteds that run as one-man-business.

3. Yes! Degree and certificates matter to the extent that it is essential to recruitment of staff, along with some other skills set, in the first place. If Cardoso must work with those ladies, why not recruit them as directors in CBN. That way, their remuneration will be in line with the HR policy of CBN and not draw this kind of attention. Why must they be recruited as consultants? Consultants to do what? I am telling you again that a critical look at their roles and responsibilities will be exactly what directors and deputy governors can do in CBN.

4. You mentioned PwC, KPMG, and McKinsey, those are firms that can be employed as consultants and they will come with a team of staff to do their job within a defined(temporary) period and leave. The current consultants in CBN are recruited in personal capacity (as individual) on such exorbitant and outrageous remuneration. Even these PwC, KPMG, and McKinsey that you mentioned would not bill clients in Nigeria the way they would bill in other climes. The pay scale in every country varies and this is applicable to all employments. In my opinion and perhaps general opinion, their remuneration is extremely high and unrealistic with the Nigerian wage structure. I also don't think such remuneration is justifiable in CBN considering staff remuneration structure in CBN and wage structure in the Nigerian business environment.

Finally, I think you are the one who needs to be more realistic, objective and critical in decision making. You will make a poor business manager, administrator or Chief Executive Officer or Director eventually. You are the type that runs organization into loss and bankruptcy by satisfying your greedy desires to live large on the resources of the organization, make poor risk management decisions and spend the resources of the organization carelessly.

It’s interesting how some people are quick to scream “paid article” without questioning whether the initial hit piece itself was a well-orchestrated smear campaign. Let’s take a step back.

The Premium Times article wasn’t an investigative report, it was an attack piece designed to discredit specific individuals while conveniently ignoring the broader context. It selectively targeted female consultants, completely sidestepping the appointment of male consultants in similar roles. That’s not journalism; that’s an agenda.

The real question we should be asking is: Who benefits from discrediting this administration’s reforms? Who stands to gain from derailing policies that are already restoring investor confidence and stabilizing the economy?
That Premium News or this article are sponsored or hatched jobs are not our usiness. That is not the crux of the matter.

We are not exactly bothered about who benefits from the articles or newspaper posts. We don't see it as discrediting any one, we are rather focusing on the possible need of employment of the consultants or otherwise

We don't care about the gender of the consultants or the motive of the person that hired them.

1. Why hire them?
2. Js their employment legal?
3. Why are they on such extraordinary remuneration package?
4. Why do you need consultants when there are directors that can do such jobs?

Umarnuhu1990:
I understand the concerns raised regarding the recent appointments at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). Let’s address each point systematically:
1. Appointment Process and Best Practices: The necessity for transparent and merit-based hiring is paramount. The consultants in question bring specialized expertise that complements the existing team. While their appointments may not have followed traditional procedures, it’s essential to recognize that in times of significant reform, unconventional methods can be employed to address unique challenges effectively.
2. Qualifications and Necessity: The addition of these consultants, who hold advanced degrees and possess extensive international experience, aims to infuse fresh perspectives into the CBN. Their roles are not redundant but are designed to tackle specific issues that require their unique skill sets. Investing in such talent, even during economic constraints, can lead to long-term benefits that outweigh the initial costs.
3. Remuneration Concerns: The reported salaries of the consultants have raised eyebrows, especially in comparison to existing directors. However, it’s crucial to consider the global market rates for such expertise. Attracting top-tier talent often necessitates competitive compensation. Moreover, their contributions are expected to drive reforms that could significantly enhance the nation’s economic standing, potentially justifying their remuneration.
4. Comparison to Foreign Consultants: Engaging local experts with global experience, as opposed to foreign consultants, not only retains funds within the country but also ensures that the solutions are tailored to Nigeria’s unique context. While the costs are substantial, they are competitive when compared to international consultancy fees, and the cultural relevance they bring is invaluable.

In summary, while the concerns about process and remuneration are valid, it’s essential to balance them against the potential benefits these consultants bring. Their specialized skills and experiences are assets aimed at navigating the CBN through complex reforms. Transparency and clear communication about their roles and the expected outcomes can help in aligning our perceptions shaa
Why didn't you start by addressing the legality of the employment of Consultants by CBN.

Are those appointments legal?
Are the remunerations payable to the consultants legal, justified and approved by the board.?
What are the consultants job description and are those jobs duplication of director's jobs?

Don't come telling us about international remuneration of consultants. Are those consultants not working in Nigeria? Is the salary scale in the USA or Britain the same with the scale in Nigeria across profession?

Don't tell about their degrees and certificates because I believe that the legality of their employment comes first.

This is nonsense.

Never read a more infuriating pile of rubbish.

1. While she disingenuously accuses detractors of lacking balance, she herself completely lacks balance. Yes, these women may be qualified. But where were they appointed following best practices? Is that not the crux of the issue?

2. She asks why there hasn't been a focus on the men (those mentioned in the article on Cardoso's first 11). But the answer is obvious - the men were appointed as directors, not consultants. This is normal practice and should not raise eyebrows.

3. She says the women hold PhDs so in addition to the existing 400 PhD holders, another 2 more is wisdom. Can you imagine how selfish some people can be? The nation is broke, and you can justify hiring people who are clearly not needed just because they are probably your friends. This is even as, according to reports, these women outearn all the directors put together!

3 consultants earn more than 179 directors combined! How is that justifiable?

4. She says Foreign consulting firms command similar fees and would only send "white boys" to do the work. What a disgraceful attempt at sophistry. This is Nigeria where we don't have that kind of money and there are no "White boys" getting sent anywhere.

No one says Cardoso shouldn't hire consultants. But it has to be done reasonably.



1. Justify the need for them
2. Use transparent hiring practices
3. Offer fair remuneration that reflects Nigeria's status as a third world country


That's not too much to ask!
Brother, let me emphasize that any organization is only allowed to engage consultant for jobs that employees and directors are not equipped or properly qualified to do.

No company management should employ consultants to do the jobs that staff are already being paid to do. That is duplication of effort, waste of resources and clear case of incompetence.

If the staff are incompetent, fire them or demote or transfer them and replace them with competent staff, directors and managers.

I completely agree with the three suggestions going put to the management of CBN.

Paid article.
They sponsored a hack writer to do image laundering for the illegal appointees.
Bragging about them having PhDs and qualifications as if that automatically legitimizes the illegality.
The question is: what does the law, in this case, the CBN act and public sector regulations say about their appointment, tenure of stay and remuneration? If these do not conform with the extant laws, then, they are illegalities. Gender, academic qualifications and work experience cannot make them legal..
So Mr hack writer, take several seats. Your article is dust.
I am very impressed with your position on this article and subject.

Whenever you see people play the gender or marginalization or sentimental card, one needs to be critical and careful to analyze the case involved.

Why pay consultants massively and exorbitantly for jobs that directors can do?

If the directors are incompetent, then disqualify them as directors and elevate or engage directors that are competent.

Lies! God'Grace would be over soon and then His Undiluted Wrath would be poured out in full measure on the earth after the Rapture.
There is nothing like "Undiluted wrath of God...."

God is merciful, he has no plan for undiluted wrath on mankind.

The Grace of God will forever abound. We will keep benefiting from it. You are not God.

So, what was the result of the "lawful detention".... where are the charges? Why the sudden release?

Ohhhh suddenly, he can go after inviting him for a meeting then you turn the tables by holding them for what charges?

You no get talk... you dey support animals because you be one...
Did you follow the case at all? Idiot!

They(including Binance) were legally charged to court. There was a diplomatic intervention to get him released. Whatever transpired between USA and Nigeria in respect of the diplomatic discussion on his release is not for public consumption and we have no right to that information.

Stop referring to fellow human beings as animals. It presents you as disrespectful, despicable and uncultured.

You obviously lack manners and proper training.
