Just saw this on the news at ten
'Child Girl'

barcanista:
Stop trying to sound clever. The Director DPR wasn't part of GEJ first appointment. Aliyu Giusau NSA(North) was among the first prominent appointment of GEJ in March 2010. Attahiru Jega was appointed in June 2010,

George Osahun was appointed Dir DPR in 2013. The first DPR di®ector appointed by Jonathan is Mr. Osten Oluyemisi
Olurunsola from Kogi state. He serveved between 2011 and 2013.

Ibrahim Dankwambo(North) was the ant General under Jonathan until when he left to contest Governorship election.

Mohammed Jameel was GEJ's chosen State Chief of Protocol, Olutola Onijala was not appointed by Jonathan

These ones that have been appointed by PMB may still be replaced later on so there isn't a problem. If PMB factored in the competencies of those under him, he would remain unruffled by the negative perceptions of some Nigerians... Humans see only what they want to see. At least I still Dr Dora Akunyili for her achievements at NAFDAC. The day she indicated interest in the senatorial seat of Anambra was the very day I got to know she was a native of the state.

I cant give a transcript, I don't know the language or how to type it

Okay I enjoy their songs. I know some off hand but dunno how to write Efik on paper

madridguy:
Serve him right. It is called "insubordination" in the security profession.

So you wanted the CSO to take orders from a mere ADC(someone who performs the same functions as a PA)?

barcanista:
Òga Federal Character may or may not be enforced by the government in power except where speccified (eg min number of Ministers per state). How many of GEJ appointees were from his Bayelsa state? how many are Ijaws? Which key sector was the North marginalised? What GEJ did was to give fair sharing of office. In fact only the Yorubas can complain of "not getting enough" among the r majority ethnic groups.

Okay I think we are speaking of the appointments of PMB in his first 30 days, if you did check the holders of these posts under Jonathan you will find just a little difference... PMB has made just 9 appointments since the 29th of May. He made replacements in the DSS, INEC, DPR, Slot of ant General, CSO, State Chief of Protocol, ADC SSA on media and publicity and SA on media and publicity. Those who occupied these slots under Pres. Jonathan were
DG DSS- Ita Ekpenyong(South)
INEC- A.Jega(North)
DPR- George Osahun(South)
ant General- Jonah Otunla (South)
CSO- Mr Gordon Ogbuah(South)
State Chief of Protocol- Olutola Onijala(South)
Aide de Camp- Adegbe(North)
SSA on Media and Publicity [GEJ didn't have this but had SSA on public affairs(same functions) ]- Doyin Okupe(South)
SA on media and publicity- Reuben Abati(South)
-So of PMB's nine appointees 8 are northerners, 1 is a southerner.
-Of PGEJ's nine appointees 7 are southerners, 2 are northerners.
So how does that make PGEJ detribalized if PMB is being accused of tribalism for having 8 out of 9 appointees as tribesmen?

barcanista:
GEJ can be accused of anything but not marginalising the North. The only people that can complain is the SW but it wasn't that bad. It is a shame that some people in the North are poised to rewrite history that we all witnessed.

But Oga most of the appointments you have up there were made based on the Federal Character stuff na.... When you even compare the appointments PMB has made and those GEJ made they don't look different if you consider the zones of the appointees

Why can't Zahra release the statement herself! The Presidency should be careful before it starts releasing press statements on irrelevancies

MaziOmenuko:
Mani caused the security rift at the state house by challenging the authorities that called off the DSS at the state house.

Mani did nothing, the ADC should be held responsible

Shazee74:
Good news... D cso was posted to him by d sacked sss boss when he became president in waiting. All d cso did was fight with d adc about who controls d villa security. D day he wrote that letter to d press abusing d adc, it was only a matter of time b4 his sack

The CSO controls villa security not the ADC

True words...when you ignore something..that doesn't mean you forget about it.....NO WAY!!! what i meant in this article, http://www.roviarsguide.com/seo/ignore-seo-and-improve-your-search-engine-ranking Is that bloggers should concentrate on writing more annd more quality content.....because doing SEO with content is wack.... the saying that "content is king"

thanks for your comment.

Great post Op
Well content is king but... Content without marketing is just lame! I don't think anyone wants to write great content just for the fun of it. If you are interested in making a living off your writing you can't ignore SEO(don't mean shady SEO though). And I think most of the techniques you highlighted are SEO techniques. I'll say have a touch of all cause funny enough when we say we are ignoring SEO, some things included in the content make up SEO we never knew

OrlandoOwoh:

If Saraki can be "elected" by only PDP , I expect APC to reconvene and impeach him. I doesn't have to be with a 2/3 majority. Buhari should learn from Obasanjo and stop being too democratic. It may lead to problem that may even lead to the closure of the House. It won't stop Buhari from having his ministers. The "principle of necessity" will be adopted.

This your principle of necessity will set the nation on fire o!

TheGoodJoe:


Mr. Nyesom Wike served as Chief of Staff, and upon departure left with all the vehicles he used as Chief of Staff. This has been the practice since this democratic dispensation when President Olusegun Obassanjo instituted the monetisation policy. Having served as Commissioner for two tenures, I am entitled to my status cars and have proof of allocation. ...Ibim Semantari.

Leave those folks, you can't kill yourself for people who refuse using their brains

I'm also tired of the inconclusive argument just try to be objective when next you post. Hasta la vista

DaBullIT:


Reduced allocation for States but conveniently stole [b[2trillion for campaign[/b] Where's the logic in that?

Who told you that?

Whynotthetruth:


1)It is either you're dump hence lack ability to read and understand... otherwise show me from original post till now where it is ever stated here that any SE except Anambra is NOT owing anybody?...

2)What's the content of the link I gave you if those are not facts...what again is fact to you?...

3)You're really dumb...so the link I gave did not show you that all the SE states are leading in all indices of economic development before any other region in Nigeria...and it is just the most recent study....smh...

4)I would not engage you any further if this show of ineptitude and crass ignorance even when being spoonfed with facts from verifiable sources are staring you in the face....Open those links I sent to you and see the contents boy....Stop all these empty rhetorics...

You can keep deceiving yourself-this is an excerpt from your hypocritical piece
" Ebonyi state is still healthy economically, why should Osun state be dead already? If Enugu is still forging ahead strong economically, why should Oyo state be bleeding?"
And this has been trashed severally here, you now shift the goal post to economically viable states to suit your stinking hypocrisy. I've said it, when you're done advising the man in Abia,Enugu and Ebonyi then you can do same to others. You posted Imo as a backward South East state because it's APC when it is even the most economically viable state in the SE. Keep deceiving yourself again I say.

Whynotthetruth:


And when you were given recent info... it never changed your partisan outlook because it is not anything patriotism or growth of the system but myopic gains of partisan inclinations....

What recent info? You mean propaganda? I've told you only fellow hypocrites will believe even a sentence of your post. My request is simple as at 2007, Only Imo made the list of top 10 economically buoyant states. If you have that of 2015, kindly post it here.



https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nigerian_states_by_GDP

Whynotthetruth:


Sometimes, it is good you marry your bed when u don't understand a thing...

Does the fact that those SE states are owing make them any less viable based on the ingenuity of their leaders as compared to their less fortunate brothers elsewhere...

Ebonyi is owing but is viable compared to Osun...Enugu is owing but more stable compared to Oyo...These are states I know both on paper and in reality...


Did you even care to read the vanguard link you provided?...hehehehe...nawa

You know nothing about these states! You said Enugu and Ebonyi weren't owing, that was trashed here with facts, now you run around claiming Enugu and Ebonyi are more viable than Oyo and Osun yet you still do it without facts but you claim APC uses propaganda. My stand on this is simple, if you can't denounce the incompetent governments of the SE then you have no right to give your political and unsolicited advice to others. I posted on this thread that as at 2007 only one SE state made the list of top 10 economically buoyant Nigerian states, I expected a rebuttal and a 2015 report showing the position of the 5 SE states, none provided yet you speak of viability and your supposed claims of ingenuity of the s of these states. I don't know if Martin Elechi and Theodore Orji as ingenious to you, if they do then I'm sorry to say you have a bigger problem than the governments you intended demystifying with this thread.
You need to deal with that and save your ponderous attempts at wit for some other day.

Whynotthetruth:


once you drop your partisan lens... you will see more.

APC through wicked propaganda confused a people that their problem is PDP...and by my post, I am showing to all that their problem is within and not PDP as they are meant to believe...

Whatever myopic stance you wanna take is up to you...thanks

And I should applaud you because you wrote this with your patriotic lens? The post from top to bottom drips with your hypocrisy and I'm sure you're vexed that I played into your hypocritical game and beat you at it

fx45:

Egbon, I hope you're not living in the past like Buhari. We're in 2015 and you're quoting 2007 figures. Between then and now, we've had three presidents... One served for 3 years and died in office (may his soul rest in peace). His success served for 6 years and has left office. The current president recently just returned from West .

Eight years is a long time bro. You need to dig up current (and valid) data.

You are funny though- you never read where I asked to be provided with recent info on the economic buoyancy of states only to give a reply stating the same thing I said. I knew things had changed that's why I wanted recent info

Whynotthetruth:


BTW did you read the link below before all this back and forth argument

https://nairaland.macsoftware.info/2263635/south-east-south-west-south-south-lead-
attainment

When you're done reading them, try and go back to the topic of this thread and remind yourself what we are discussing bro...

No matter how nebulous you try to be, what your post says is simple "The people of the SW, the APC have veiled you with propaganda, look at how your SE/SS brothers under PDP are doing, don't you want to be like them?"
And my reply to that is simple all the PDP states you mention are owing salaries and other arrears, Abia, Ebonyi and Enugu the supposed model PDP states are sunk in debt, Enugu is even the most-indebted in the SE

Whynotthetruth:



I did a comparative analysis of SW cum SE states with similar economic situation and fortunes...

If you desire to open a thread to crosscheck debts alongside infrastructure on ground...you're free...

I know both regions very well outside newspaper propaganda and lies...

My analysis is based both from evidence on paper and what's on ground...

You can go back to my original post to refresh your mind on the essence of this thread...

You can open a thread on divergent aspects of this topic and let's discuss such as analysis of individual SE states...thanks

Done that already

You never gave paper evidence Sir! It was when I got tired of the half-truths the post was filled with you got paper evidence from ME of how the SE states (the ones governed by PDP I mean) were owing tons of workers

aresa:



It really wasn't hard to spot the usual ibo lies, ignorance and deception. Funny enough, the joker didn't do basic research hence claiming enugu and eboyin are financially stable when in fact they are they are equally in debt and are owing salaries .

The ignorant OP is intellectually lazy and fraudulent..

I was equally shocked when I read that part. A little research doesn't kill

https://nairaland.macsoftware.info/2377269/list-states-owing-salaries-6

Abia is owing a section of its workforce not the entirety...don't get it twisted...owing salaries isn't good BTW...

how's osun better under APC with aregbesola as helmsman

I don't care what section these states owe. They are under PDP and they must pay up! FYI
Enugu and Ebonyi the two 'prosperous' PDP states are also owing and are sunk in huge debts

www.punchng.com/news/unpaid-salaries-strike-imminent-in-18-states/

Whynotthetruth:


Imo state is the only SE state that's being declared insolvent by CBN notwithstanding it gets the highest allocation in the entire SE...

Having declared Osun state insolvent giving the huge exposure to internal and external debts including the interests...now add it to the arrears of civil servants for more than seven months running now...deduct it from their average of their federal allocation noting that federal government is NOT owing them any kobo...and tell me when they will be free...

Kindly note that the external debts aside the ever increasing interest will keep growing with depreciation of the naira...

Read and see how well your 'successful' states are doing

In the SE, Enugu is the most indebted state

And as for the debt profile of Abia, it is so bad that shame didn't allow Governor Orji publish it

SarahBabyxx:


I seriously don't get you.....until you accept the fact that you're biased in your analysis this won't go anywhere

I have to say that including ebonyi state was funny...despite being 'debt free' what does the state have to show for the money allocated to them....atleast the states with 'debts' have something to show for it

No one is '' defending the ineptitude of these thieves"...the only thing anyone is pointing out here is your 'bias' and the 'hypocrisy' you're hammering on


I'd also like to see you 'analyse' other states owing aside SW states.....one question why SW??

Which debt free? Is it Ebonyi of Nigeria? The same Ebonyi that the governor Dave Umahi was crying some days back that he has inherited too much debt?

[size=16pt]Pls lets not view this thread as one borne out of bigotry. Try to counter the Op's point even though you think it's lopsided, still enlighten us. No need to mess this thread up please.[/size]

There is no point to counter. Enugu is the most indebted state in the SE but trust the hypocritical op to call Rochas because he is in APC
