Some people simply dont have that thing called pride. If the news making the rounds are anything to go by, then "Senator" Afikuyomi is set to become a commissioner in Lagos state. It is obvious he is used to living off government and doesnt care at what level he gets to do this. He wont at least have to pay rent, maintain cars, staff, etc for another 4 years, and oh by the way, the chance to milk Nigeria (Lagos State) further. It is such a shame and one wonders where the lines will be drawn. Has anyone taken a look at Fashola's list of commissioners? Every "big" family in Lagos state has a commissioner on that list. God help us.

Dont blame em. The dude has no other job! Politics is his 9-5!!! Show the bloated brother some compassion.

LOL!!! nairalanders go kill person with laughter o!

shameless people, that is why the country is not growing, someone has said it is turn by turn limited, chop make i chop. God will save my motherland one day.

Nigga, ask about him.
He's a hustler.

wasnt he contesting for governorship? all these clowns without direction!
anywhere belle face

kai lagos don suffer

Maybe Tinubu too can apply for a job in LTV.

@ ALL,

AFIKUYOMI OR AFIKUGETMONI@ ALLCOST


I think na because he can not think,na only to shop our money he sabi all this shameless politician can not survived without milking our treasury,na only GOD fit save Lagos if the news na 2rue.

hey nairalanders,put a sulk in the mouth and give afikuyomi a breathing space.were you guys not aware that big bros na exconvict?no be me talk am o, na keyamo talk am oo.

afikuyomi is just a shameless politician,imagine a governorship asspirant under the ANPP and a former senator of the federal republic settling,for a commisioner under fashola, its really a shame.

i dont blame him though,he has no other job ,and he has to feed his family

Politics in Nigeria is an avenue for stackin dem mils.Afikuyomi's case wil not be different.He's there to get his paper and howeva he chooses to do strictly remains his biz!!

Afiku-Desperado-mi.

As much as i don't fancy his style of politics, I, at the same time do not see anything wrong in accepting the job if his intention is to contribute his own quota to development of Lagos.
After all, you guys will be the first to blab about Nigerians not contributing in their own little way.

Nigerians;Hypocrites

@ nuzo
Do you know anything that Toksy contributed in his time at the Senate except to become a multi-millionaire? Do you also know anything that he has done since becoming commissioner except to help with the purchase of the hotel (which I am sure will be dysfunstional)?

has he now descended to a new low?!

nuzo, c ur mouth. . . . . . . .

What a shameless slowpoke!!!

When he was so called senator, all I used to see of him was repeated appearances on Ovation magazines surrounded by young girls.

Leaving senator to be a commissioner, that is the type of people Nigerians are voting for to be in the senate and wonder why they are being plundered.

For those with the lame excuse that he has to feed his family, if he is not capable of finding a top job in private sector/academia or running his own business after being a senator then he is not material for any top public sector job.

My only problem with the guy's that his neck is just too large !

Could never seem to be able to put on a tie properly !

He's the typical Nigerian politician! He even was in the front for a gubernatorial shot in Lagos state for one party, which later went under to support Fashola. Of course, the reward is obvious. Desperadooooooooooo,

dudu-bobo:

If you had read my previous post on this topic, you will find out that i also do not have regards for him regarding his non-perfomance in the senate and his role in Lagos guber election 2007.

However, he might have turned a new leave and may perform wonders as a commissioner. But most importantly, he was appointed into the office and not elected. So, if you guys have a problem with that, it should be on Fashola and not on the so called shameless Owanbe (party) animal.

Afikuyomi's own is even good I think I read somewhere a one time senator in benue state is now a councillor in a local goverment in the state he is not even the local goverment chairman. How about that ?

Note to some posters:

I called him shameless not because he chose to accept the post of a commissioner (after all, he might be trying to redeem himself), but because of his lifestyle and non-performance as a politician.

na so we country be

I am angry that he became a multi-millionaire at the expence of Nigeria without contributing anything noteworthy to the nation

where is he now?

afi kin get moni. ;d ;d ;d ;d

lol @ akifu get money

so the idiot wan become commissioner

when he finishes his tenure as a commissioner, he'll become a council chairman

This is one of the problems we have in 9ja.Our old politicians will not give way for the youger and more vibrant incoming politicians.Imagine a situation where IBB of 73yrs old wants to contest for president after ruling for 8yrs as a miilitary Head of State.What does he want to do that he didnt do b4?
