goodluck to another set of loothing
ReplyDeleteLoothing ko looters?
DeleteDon't say that mamannuku... Pls be hopeful abeg
DeleteAn igbo man from enugu state is the minister of foreign affairs. - a key position in any nation.
DeleteOther igbo states got good ministeries too. If these people cannot use their offices to better the south eastern States, no matter how little, then the problem with biafra is right there in biafra.
Now can the idiots scrutinizing every appointment the president makes, hang their asses up in the air?
Thank you.
Hehehehehehe another drama.
ReplyDeleteOne Adamu na education minister, our prof. Onwuka Na just minister for state. It's all good.
DeleteObj was minister of petroleum too. No biggie! Change is all we want!
ReplyDeleteGbamest!
DeleteMr Heineken got me smiling, he tried almost all states were picked.....
ReplyDeleteLet the best man lead!
All I see is Fashola as minister of power...I chose to close my eyes to housing n works.
ReplyDeletePlease work on this electricity problem.
Repair what Liyel Imoke and his father spoilt when they were ministers of power and "steal"
Thats all...
Why are women from the south not active?? I dont see their names here...lets step up mbok
With all the fight and all, Oby Ezekwesili was not handed any portfolio in this government. Chai.
DeleteThere is fuel scarcity in Lagos. I am seeing that filling stations are not trying to sell fuel. Baba waka fast what is wrong
ReplyDeleteNot a new thing. He has been drumming it that he plans to head the Petroleum Ministry. Good for him.
ReplyDeleteHahahahahha I laugh in spanish, so stella finally ur boo is d minister of transportation hahahahah isn't dat a better name for CONDUCTOR so he will be the head of NURTW kikikikik I swear laugh wan kill me.
ReplyDeleteIgnorant mofo
DeleteThis baba go slow is a thief!...
ReplyDeleteOga,you can't be president and also a minister...
Am sure he wants to be in charge of the petroleum so he can steal without trace so the next government won't probe him...
Hmmm...aboki smart move...
Oriegwu!...
So u r dis daft? And u cul urself a queen?
DeleteSmh
Your ignorance attains new levels daily.

***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***
Congrats to him and all the ministers. Let them begin work immediately. We want to see the "change" in action..
ReplyDeleteThe President of Nigeria is the executive officer of the state and by law is in charge of every ministry (directly/indirectly).
DeleteAs long as it doesn't hinder his performance as a President, he is good to go. He was once PTF Head, and I heard the nation benefited from that sector in his tenor.
I guess Kachikwu would still be the brain behind the ministry.
ok o....
ReplyDeleteLol...we see
ReplyDeleteAmaechi for transportation. Daramola for Niger Delta. Hmmm. Buhari go deal with that Petroleum unit no be small.
ReplyDeleteVery Good.
ReplyDeleteNow we can start see changing.
Gba-gbagun!!
DeleteLol, I purposely didn't bother to change it cos my network ain't good. If you see person wey no sabi English you go know now
Deleteminister of trans me be think say him go be of Niger Delta affairs
ReplyDelete#GODWIN™
They will frustrate his efforts if he was and he will end up not doing anything tangible. Better they pulled him away from there.
DeleteValerie, very sensible comment
DeleteAm so okay with buhari been the minister of petroleum cos the corruption in that sector is just too much. With fashola been the minister of power am sure he will do sumtin great. Change is beginning to take place.
ReplyDeleteBeing
DeleteMore grey hairs on Fahola's head
ReplyDeleteVery true. That position is not easy
DeletePower..., transport and finance I like. Hope you all do your work with all diligence. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteLet visible change begin.
In bubu I trust.
ReplyDeleteBawa Bwari, BRF, Amaechi na them concern me directly.
ReplyDeleteAll the best to the rest
Its official.
ReplyDeleteI love buhari, e is a wise man.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if people noticed that PMB has reduced the number of ministries to 24. Only 24 (including himself) of the appointees are substantive ministers; others are Ministers of State. There is no Aviation Minister, but only a Minister of State for Aviation, who will report to the Transport Minister. So he has effectively merged Transport and Aviation - which is what you see in developed countries.
Stella Kork, now that ur boo is the Transport Minister & de facto minister of Aviation, u can do use plane tickets as shoki for us na. No fly 1st class alone o. Extend the freebies to us kwanu. Even if na free ABC bus tickets!!!

From your Anambra Daughter...
#fingerscrossed#
So, which nominee didn't get a portfolio??? Yinmu at president bubu. Love him still
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to BRF.
ReplyDeleteLiar Mohammed, since we are in the era of change. Please do well to change also since you have the whole of Nigeria relying on you for information... Thank you in advance!
Baba musr be involved na
ReplyDeleteWhat is important now is not what tribe got what portfolio - that is childish. What is important is how each minister performs from this point on.
ReplyDeleteThat's how we should reason. Who cares where anyone comes from. What's importance is competence and performance. I hope a time will come in this country when no one cares where an intending President comes from, nor his religion.

Ur head dey there today o! Preach!
DeleteWell said, GM.
Delete#WhiteDiamondOut
Nice
DeleteMy fellow Igbos. You have up to five Ministers. Stop disturbing the peace of Nigeria with those sad tales of being sidelined by Pres. Buhari. You hear?
ReplyDeleteXOXO MYSTERY
Seriously, shut up! Leave d igbos alone. Wat is it sef!
DeleteShataap your mouth .You guys always stir trouble where there is none. Stop all tribal nonsense. You never learn from ya yansh opening, I think?
DeleteXoxo shut up
DeletePresident Muhammadu Buhari has just used his super-ace by making Fashola responsible for the Power, Works and Housing ministry. I was hoping it would be either Power or Works but PMB is way smarter... and with the amazing Lagos HOMS idea and now having BRF in charge of federal housing, I am very hopeful. PMB can continue fighting insurgency and lawlessness, Nigerian can count on BRF to transform our power and infrastructure because he will do everything possible to prove he should be the next president of Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteGhanaman signing out!!!
Here's a kiss for you; #muah
DeletePls make it two na!
DeleteHmmmm the only one that caught my attention was that of fashola... Housing,power and works? Hehehe can't wait to c what he will deliver!
ReplyDeleteThere is no Aviation Minister, but only a Minister of State for Aviation, who will report to the Transport Minister.....you are wrong. Aviation isn't under Transport.
ReplyDeleteXoxo mystery shut the fuck up
Yeah right....Aviation is under health. Thanks for reminding us.
DeleteBe informed pls! Aviation is now under d ministry transport.
DeleteAviation is now under transport. You have no idea what a minister of state is. Amaechi calls d shots in both ministries & will present to d senate on ALL transport issues & budget.
DeleteU have just said that 1+2=3 but 2+1 is not =3. Pls explain in less than 100 words or less.
DeleteHmmmmmm Congrat oooooo. Buhari minister for petroleum a whole president na wa oooooh
ReplyDeleteLets hope for a better performance from this list of ministers and pray to God that nothing will distract them from performing their duties
ReplyDeletewe shall continue to give them support. huh. what shall we do. they are changed thieves......

Ok so buhari has finally proved he is as clueless as the word clueless. Aisha Alhassan was declared by the election tribunal recently as APC gubernatorial winner of the April election and now she has been nominated the minister of women affairs. I just don't understand how dat will worsk. He is simply blinded by religious sentiments and dat am sure will lead him in the wrong path. Later now some people will say dat. I DON'T CARE IF HE APPOINTS HIS CATTLES SO LONG AS CHANGE COMES yet dey seem to forget dat change could be positive or negative and wat I see is a NEGATIVE CHANGE
ReplyDeleteThen you are as clueless as u soud, because that negativity you are wishing affects you and your generation unborn..
DeleteHas she been sworn in yet?
DeleteAunty are u learned at all? ?? Has she bin sworn in??? U ooze of ignorance. ....
DeleteHappy birthday and congrats on ur admission... More blessings and grace.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations darling.
ReplyDeleteAnd Happy Birthday.

I don't think there would have been as much igbos in the list were it not for the fact that we woke up.
ReplyDeleteMy dear Xoxo mystery what exactly is your phobia with our Igbo people? í ½í¸€ I don't think your opinion is of any relevance. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday and congrats girl...you are a shining star
ReplyDeleteMay God give them the grace to serve with total dedication and selflessness.

ReplyDeleteCongrats Ollie and happy bday
ReplyDeleteLie lie Mohammed will bring this government down bet me... that is a very sensitive portfolio most especially after the passage of the FOI bill. All I see is Fashola, and I pray you don't break my heart and disappoint us your fans.. its a Hercules task but God's grace, strength and wisdom see you through in Jesus name,if you derail we will call you out. On a more personal note, stay away from woman, what is it. My Lady Mrs Abimbola is beautiful enough, tie it with a rubber band to you leg cos now the whole world is watching and your a star of the moment... igbos,hausa, yorubas love you. That's God's Favour.
ReplyDeleteStellz ask your boo that while his 'BLAZING' and pretending to be an 'ANGEL', he needs to complete that white elephant called mono rail he started in PH and fix the airport at omagwa and stop this his toutish behaviour... does he need a conductor? am available....ki ki ki
