When you learn how to write oponu without a "K" as in okponu, I will respond to this meaningless post.

see. . the two issues: judicious use of funds and fiscal federalism are not linked.

It is to the benefit of the thieves from outside the Delta that they link the two issues
though.

A people should not have to plead with anyone to manage their own resources, their property.

As a matter of fact. . .if the two issues are linked, it is the lack of true federalism that aids the injudicious
use of funds. As long as people from outside the area can milk it like a dysfunctional ATM machine, the
more we continue to see a lack of innovation as well as the overwhelming waste and corruption at all
levels of government everywhere.

Its a shame to see educate men reduced to the level of pure and complete stupidity simply because they can't free their mind from religion, ethnicity and prejudice when it comes to making sound decision and judgment. So, Silvia can be keep looting Bayelsans dry, and keep making their lives miserable? It doesnt matter as long as he is from the Niger Delta? No wonder you people are far behind every states in Nigeria, and you will never get started if everyone down in Bayelsa have the same pathetic opinion like yours. Any nation that doesnt progress has a high population of wicked and useless people. I hope he continues looting you, and pray Bayelsa keep having leaders who are totally useless like him. Dont get mad, I am only praying with you. We all know Bayelsa gets more money than Lagos and all your precious and insane yet wonderful governor who the same greedy MEND support has to show is nothing but Castles and Palaces.

Bruv. . .It is the Niger Deltan's wealth to waste.

It is quite condescending for other states to come here
and start reproaching the ND's.

Which one is worse. . .wasting my own money or some thieving
outsiders stealing my money on the pretence of nationhood and
frittering it away in Ado Ekiti, Gombe and Abuja.

The reaction to most of you to Yar'Adua's attendance of the Jumat service shows extraordinary insensitivity and evil.  If Yar'Adua and his relations believe that he would receive healing by going to the service, who are you to question them?

Yar'Adua is a human being first - so let's respect the man and let him try to work through his illness in peace. Yar'Adua himself has issued statements recognizing GJ and acting president.

I'm sure when many of you hear that some foreign healer is coming for a crusade, you'd do all you can to attend because you expect miracles.

If Yar'Adua is able to attend the service, then we should all be thankful that he is receiving healing. Please let Yar'Adua be and let us all wish him well.

ALMUSTAQIM:

fellow nairalanders, honestly we need to caution ourselves the way we address our president. whether we like it or not he remains our president as planted by the pdp. many of the postings here are insultive. let us either say what is good at any time or simply keep quiet.

Guy man.  . . .he has a choice not to accept the nominations.

He could have peopled the list with persons of entirely his own choosing.

There is no way the Senate would have rejected people the nation sees
as wholly credible.

I am one of her fans and I was disappointed not with her but with Yaradua for putting
her in a role that was totally unsuited for her.

Of course you might say, why would she accept a role that she should know she was not
qualified for?

Well, she is power hungry, perhaps overambitious and probably a tad deficient on the moral
side of things.

But you cannot deny her energy, energy that a few of our key ministries could
do with.

A portfolio like Works for example with a litany of unfulfilled contracts would be ideal for her.
Power perhaps too technical, but transport most definitely.

Juxtaposed with the thieving deadbeats who have formed cabinets in Nigeria for so long, I
will gladly take Dora anyday.

Acting President Goodluck Jonathan has sent the list of the first batch of ministers to the Nigerian senate today. The list includes  names of 7 former ministers, a new economic czar, Olusegun Aganga, a managing director at Goldman Sachs in London and 16 others.

Some of the former ministers whose names were included are Godswill Orubebe, Adetokunbo Kayode, O. Ajumogobia, Mrs. Deziani Allison- Madueke, Fidelia Nzeze, Architect Nuhu Somo Way and others, some of the new names includes former student activist and deputy governor of Nassarawa State, Labaran Maku, Prof. M. K Abubakar (Kaduna) and others.
