Hmmmmm!..Congrats to him!
We voted Apc in cos of change,am yet to see any change ooo
ReplyDeleteCongratz... @sholly find change in yourself first
DeleteI second your statement o.
DeleteSholly the change has started, trust me dear. There's a saying that goes thus, that it'll get really bad before things change for the best. So I believe the process has started. Nigeria is in a process of being refined...or redefined if u wish. Give it a year max, and we'd stabilize and begin to enjoy the REAL change. Yes oh!!
DeleteThank God that Buhari didn't make Roli the Chairman. She has no business at NDLEA. Is such a shame that Jonathan made her the DG with no background in that area. Only in Nigeria will they give such a sensitive position to someone based on who she is married to. SMH
ReplyDeleteThe thing tire me. Roli in that place was an epic blinder ab-initio. Say what? Can't even reconcile her image with that of the NDLEA!! That was a nonsense appointment the last administration ever made.

ReplyDeleteA DG is actually just a board secretary in NDLEA.There was never anyway she would have headed the agency.it was impossible! GEJ as usual, turned everything to politics. One day,he would have appointed Obanikoro or Anenih's wives as head of DSS.
DeleteAm sure if Roli was yur relative u'll not say this instead u'll b praying n fasting for her to be confirm, shmmmmm is human nature though we all pray for our stomach, u guyz will never make a statement without mentioning Gej's name, d man has move on u guyz should move on nahhhhh, I suppose dis govt but it very irritating d way u guyz hit every nail on his head Mchewww
DeleteCongratulation
ReplyDeletePharaoh Muhammad, now everywhere is headed by mallams. There is God oh!

ReplyDelete@ Anno 04 is yur comment based on d fact that she's a woman? Hmmmmm cos some African men can't imagine a woman as deir boss
ReplyDeleteHow do u know she isn't fit?
Am sure that's why u came under anno
If yur bro is a thief does that made u a thief
No! Dora Akunyili was a woman.A strong woman who did her job well.But then a sensitive place like the NDLEA is not a play ground.I.never said she wasn't fit.What exactly is her background? Heads of that agency must be former law enforcement or military.
DeleteEnd time appointment
ReplyDeleteThis government is terrible. Is it only northerners that we have in the country? This man may be qualified but don't we have other able Nigerians? This is not good. The message inherent in this is that other Nigerians are second class citizens.
