Did you not mean grin?

So much for a smart lady who considers someone else illiterate and unintelligent.
You should have at least consulted a dictionary before making a fool of yourself. The lady you're trying to throw a shade at is very much correct. "Green with envy" is an idiomatic expression which implies being jealous, and not "grin". I hope you've learnt something today.

I think some Nigerians are over flogging this matter, so the acting president's visit to the crisis ridden niger delta and the sudden appreciation of the naira to the relief of Nigerians now mean a servant outshines his master? haba, its like we Nigerians appreciate doom over progress.

This article is made for the dustbin, rubbish!

I wonder when some parochial people will stop to misinterpret and misconstrue the "never outshine your master" mantra. A subordinate only owes his master loyalty but never servitude. More so, since law courts are yet to start deciding cases based on prejudice, therefore I see no reason for anyone to cast aspersions on the effectual acting president since he had never made any derogatory statement against his boss. They are a team, thus his success or failure is proportionally his boss gain or loss.
Quite correct, considering the Obasanjo/Atiku altercations when they were in power, or is it feud?

You can watch the master cause his own downfall. When his influences and popularity begins to fade, you best seize the moment and outshine the hell out of him.

very brilliant post I must say. The combination of PMB/OSJ was the reason most Nigerians especially those who saw beyond ethnic and religious divide voted for APC. The problem has been PMB and his henchmen not given OSJ some concession to handle those areas PMB and his henchmen didn't have enough capacity for. This is what is evident now which is making people feel OSJ is outshining his boss.

See sycophants all over the place! We are heaving a sigh of relief for once since this president assumed office and the dude-writer is worried about image! We all still know who the boss is, this is just his cue to know he's been grossly incompetent all this while! If his subordinate can do it in a few weeks, it means it could be done!

I don't know if Osibanjo is a strategist. If he is, he's probably playing his own game with his own rules.

And yes, even if he failed it. What would you rather have him do? Sit in Aso rock and fold his hands and watch Nigeria perish because he doesn't want to outperform the Dullar.d?

So we should pretend we cant see the fact that Buhari is a colossal failure. Osinbajo ride on. Loosening the yoke of the Hausa Fulani illiterate cabal/mafia from our neck. I know the writer is obviously sarcastic and trying to point to the fact that Bulgari is a burden on the neck of Nigeria. His illiteracy, unintelligence, and outright bigotism will make Abacha green with envy. He has a First Class in wickedness.

Actually the two regimes and the personalities involved are of different ethical leanings. Both OBJ and Atiku were/are of the manipulative ethical leanings, thus their individuals domineering, conceited and opportunistic attributes made it nearly impossible for them to co-exist peacefully together. What existed between them from the year 2002 until their tenure finally elapsed was a frenemy relationship.

However in the case of GMB and Osibanjo, so far, I see two men of same diplomatic ethical leanings. No one is undermining another believe you me. And so long as they continue to ignore goading from third-party (mischief makers) they would move mountains together.

So much for a smart lady who considers someone else illiterate and unintelligent.

It is obvious you don't even understand the idiom 'green with envy'. If you did you won't come here to display your ignorance. You can still enrol for adult evening school if you are too old to go back to primary school. Google can also help you and when you correct yourself, make sure you are humble enough to apologise to me.
