PMB should make this man EFCC chairman. You go see as corruption go pick race from Nigeria

I love TAMBUWAL. APC politicians staying in touch with the masses and the realities on ground since 1802.

This is how a serious country should operate

Only God knows what would have been left of Nigeria had these bastard GEJ govt and his bastard tanoids succeeded in staying in power for another four years.

I have the feeling that we are just beginning to hear of the rot that was perpetrated by the most irresponsible govt in Nigeria's history. Barcanista is trying to sweep this one under the rug by cluelessly questioning Joda's credibility. How the mighty have fallen indeed

Jonathan and Madueke ran Nigeria like their private business. No accountability, no responsibility, no security only mediocrity.

Let them call Kirikiri to reserve window bunk bed because I hear say heat too much inside there

Watch the tanoids flee from this thread like a plague. Your hero of Otuoke should prepare to cool that his ogogoro yansh for Kuje prison.

100 trillion Zimbabwean dollars = 40 cents
Since 1 cent = 2 naira
Therefore, 100 trillion Zimbabwean dollars = 80 Naira

I have 250 naira right now which is roughly 300 trillion Zimbabwean dollars. Who say na only Otedola and Dangote rich? I am moving to Zimbabwe abeg

that yogurt looks familiar

Na him be say you don enter one chance be that. As for us that school in France, we are safe

Ezenwammadu:
This is a serious government not the i will i will dullard in aso rock or defense house

How many did the "serious" GEJ government arrest during its entire six years in power? When any suspects were caught, they all managed to 'escape'. You come here with your maggot infested wormhole you call a mouth because Buhari has not arrested any Boko haram member in 3 weeks since he became President.

Hypertension kills!

I am very glad that this is at the top of the public agenda. These politicians must know that the masses are becoming more educated and that we will not be taken for a ride any longer. Imagine one of them saying that people working in oil companies and banks make more than them? Are legislators supposed to be the most paid people in a country?

On Friday the 19th of June, we are going to #OccupyNass. BE THERE!!!

Wetin dey for Yemen abeg? That place sound like where Nigeria better pass sef

this boy - money = agbero

simple mathematics

The salaries we earn are not in any way close to what people speculate. People in the oil and gas sectors, banking and even lecturers earn more than us and the President.

so this brainless bastard expects politicians to make more money than everybody else? What exactly do they do? Is it not the same House of Reps where people collect salaries without proposing a single bill in four years.

We need to begin to recall some lawmakers. Make thunder fire their left yansh finish

Tanoids be like 'is she the president? Why is she telling them what to do'

They are coming...I don see them from far

Tanoids be like why did he release only $21 million?

They are coming

samsard:
How do you put a lawyer in charge of the ministry of finance?

How? The president appoints him and the senate confirms the nomination

jomoh:
Nope I beg to differ. Putting him in a a key Ministry will mean putting him in a position of unnecessary scrutiny and expose him to saboteurs who will want to put a stain on his whites.

I prefer SGF or an adviser on important sector of the economy. There, his contributions can be felt without exposing him to dangers of Image saboteurs.

But then if he excels in such a position, any presidential election he participates in will be a walk over

Isaacpyo04:
A SAN in charge of ministry of power
SMH...

How many MW did 'Prof/Engr' Barth Nnaji add to the national grid as minister of power?

Going by your warped logic, only political science graduates should contest for political office. Only past athletes should be sports ministers. Only real estate agents should be housing ministers and so on.

Keep shaking your head

modelmike7:
. . . . So because of Niger delta militants and Boko Haram, Nigeria as a nation should not move forward right? Are they bigger than Nigeria? I wonder how some people reason!

Apparently the govt is not in full control of the security situation in the country. I don't think it is acceptable to gamble with the lives of thousands or perhaps millions of Nigerians for "development" until the security apparatus is fully functional

APC doing things transparently and showing PDP how party politics should be done. In a real democracy, the party is bigger than the candidates not the other way around and APC clearly believes in that ideal. They will only get better. I think they have handled themselves satisfactorily so far. I have very few to no complaints

Nuclear plant in Nigeria? Make these people respect themselves abeg. If Niger delta militants or boko haram get their hands on enriched uranium, shebi na sorry dem go tell us

kekakuz:
f

f for fashola

I personally think that BRF is better off in charge of a critical ministry like Finance or Power. So that he stays in the public eye until he runs for the Presidency. But PMB is a wiser man than me...he has been around Fashola and knows him best

So criminals are basically making laws for us

I think their economy is better off with a trade by barter system. I give you two yams and you give me two mudu of drinking garri, half kilogram of groundnut and half kilogram of sugar.

No be this kind "trillionaire" wey person de pray for

Zimbabweans will start exchanging 'quadrillions' of local dollars for a few US dollars next week, as President Robert Mugabe's government discards its virtually worthless national currency, the central bank said on Thursday.
The southern African country started using foreign currencies like the US dollar and South African rand in 2009 after the Zimbabwean dollar was ruined by hyper-inflation, which hit 500 billion percent in 2008.

At the height of Zimbabwe's economic crisis in 2008, Zimbabweans had to carry plastic bags bulging with bank notes to buy basic goods like bread and milk. Prices were rising at least twice a day.
From Monday, customers who held Zimbabwean dollar accounts before March 2009 can approach their banks to convert their Zimbabwean dollar balance into dollars, Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) Governor John Mangudya said in a statement.

The process will legally end the local currency. Zimbabweans have until September to turn in their old bank notes, which some people sell as souvenirs to tourists.
Bank accounts with balances of up to 175 quadrillion Zimbabwean dollars will be paid $5. Those with balances above 175 quadrillion dollars will be paid at an exchange rate of $1 to 35 quadrillion Zimbabwean dollars.

The highest - and last - bank note to be printed by the RBZ in 2008 was 100 trillion Zimbabwean dollars. It was not enough to ride a public bus to work for a week.
The RBZ said customers who still have stashes of old Zimbabwean dollar notes can walk into any bank and get $1 for every 250 trillion they hold.
That means a holder of a 100 trillion bank note will on Monday get 40 cents. The RBZ has set aside $20m to pay Zimbabwean dollar currency holders.

Obijulius:
OP on the surface your prefix and the supporting arguments sound convincing.

But a deeper analysis will prove you false on all grounds, I think you are being subjective here.

Good grooming is a sign of respect, but not necessarily a determiner of success .

Mr man, please come up with your "deeper analysis". The article states that not worrying about what you wear allows you to focus on being a successful person not that you must dress a certain way in order to be successful. Apparently there are successful people who do not wear the same clothes everyday and the article does not argue against this fact. If this was a comprehension test, you would have failed woefully.

What do Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, President Barack Obama and Albert Einstein all have in common?

They've all worn the same outfit, pretty much every day.

Why? It isn’t a coincidence. Jobs and President Barack Obama, for example, are both part of the same-outfit club, but for different reasons. And both are logical, from both a scientific and business perspective.

The Science

If you notice, Obama wears a blue or gray suit all the time (when he wore a tan suit earlier this year, it nearly blew up the Internet). Why? Here’s the explanation he gave to famed writer Michael Lewis, via Vanity Fair:

“You’ll see I wear only gray or blue suits,” Obama told Lewis. “I’m trying to pare down decisions. I don’t want to make decisions about what I’m eating or wearing. Because I have too many other decisions to make.”

That logic is backed up with some pretty convincing science. Two college professors who have studied decision-making, Kathleen Vohs and Barry Schwartz, both found that a person has a limited amount of brain power in a day, so the more decisions they have to make, the weaker their decision-making process becomes.

"The mere act of thinking about whether you prefer A or B tires you out," Schwartz told The LA Times. "So if I give you something else that takes discipline, you can't do it -- you'll quit faster. If I have lifted weights in a gym, later trying to lift a 30-pound weight is impossible."

Vohs conducted a study where she asked a group of random people how many decisions they made that day, and then asked them a series of simple math questions. The more decisions they made in the day, the worse they did on the math questions.

Steve Jobs’ Reason

Jobs, meanwhile, garnered the additional benefit of more brain power by choosing to wear primarily a black turtleneck, blue jeans and white shoes, but that wasn’t his main motivation. Instead, Forbes reports Jobs – one of the great marketers ever – did it to establish himself as a brand.

“It is also great to have a trademark look,” William Arruda, a branding expert, told Forbes. “It makes you memorable and distinctive.”

It makes sense, when you think about it. After all, who can’t picture Jobs without that iconic black turtleneck? Or Zuckerberg, with his gray shirt, portraying the ultimate irreverent, precocious 21st-century Internet entrepreneur? Or heck, even Bono, and his ever-present yellow shades?

For these people, that look has become part of their overall mystique. And that makes them more iconic, like a Homer Simpson, which people can recognize instantly.

Albert Einstein

Similarly, Albert Einstein reportedly bought several variations of the same gray suit so that he wouldn’t have to waste time deciding what to wear each morning. This is all related to the concept of decision fatigue. This is a real psychological condition in which a person’s productivity suffers as a result of becoming mentally exhausted from making so many irrelevant decisions.

Simply put, by stressing over things like what to eat or wear every day, people become less efficient at work.

This is precisely why individuals like President Obama, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg and Albert Einstein decided to make life easier by adopting a monotonous wardrobe.

Obviously, as these are some of the most successful and productive individuals in history, they are on to something.

Indeed, having a diverse collection of clothing is overrated. We waste so much time worrying about things that have no substantial consequences, and don’t even realize how easily we could change this.

We might all consider simplifying our lives a bit more by reducing the amount of time we spend thinking about pointless aspects of our day. In the process, one might find that they are significantly less stressed, more productive and more fulfilled.

Life is complicated enough, don’t allow the little things to dictate your happiness. Simplify, simplify.

Please share and maybe somebody will thank you one day for setting them on the path to success

I'm once again proud to call myself a Nigerian. May God guide PMB so that Nigeria will experience limitless success henceforth
