Politricks
Pity poor Turaki (or not). He weeps like a woman for what he stole like a man, and now the kingdom is lost (guess the historical reference before you start flinging abuse). Kuje prison must be somewhat less than 5 star. The gist I can add is that when in Jigawa State earlier this year, I heard on the vine that he has a wife in Damaturu, a wife in Singapore (or was it Malaysia?) - with whom he spends most of his time - as well as a wife in Niger. Apparently he does not share a common language with the Nigerois. I wonder if the translator is permitted to enter the matrimonial chambers? Kalu on the other hand took his remand sentence like a man, I am happy to report.
It looks like Bode Agusto, who would have made the best finance minister Nigeria has ever had, has been pipped at the post by Shamsudeen Usman (from the CBN).
With ministerial confirmations coming shortly, we will finally see what kind of team Yardy go-slow has assembled..

having a miserable afternoon, you made me laugh out loud.. imagery of "Yardy go Slow" priceless!
Another sign that you have been bitten by the Nigeria-bug: you are talking about by those in high office!!!!
And by the way, I believe Umaru-Go-Slow-Yara'dunce is out of ideas. And is picking ministers based on ethnicity and geopolitical origin, but that is a matter for another day, eh?
I wonder how Turaki wld survive. infact he is already a dead man. As for Bode Augusto, i think he shld rest somewhere ABEG!
I'm with you on Agusto. Would have dragged the finance ministry, kicking and screaming, into the 21st century.
The initial momentum that Okonji-Iweala created would have been followed through by Agusto. Having said that, his name stands out in what is a rather uninspiring list and he wil undoubtedly do a great job in whatever ministry he is assigned.
Yardy Go-slow? Let's give the man a chance, people!
I like the bit about Turaki crying like a woman for what he stole like a man. I am sure he is wishing now that he had spent some of that money improving the prisons. Heh, heh! (ugly, witchy naija home-video laugh).

that's what the constitution says... to reflect 'federal character', how else do you expect him to get someone to each state without consulting the leaders of the state?
I saw bits of the ministerial ‘grilling’ from the senate on BEN TV last night. But trust BEN TV to cut me off when it was slowly getting interesting. I have decided to hold fire on Alhaji Yardy. I don’t think there is any rush; he seems to have proven that you don’t need ministers and advisers to run a country. For the likes of Gordon Brown who had a team assembled under 24 hours, you are on your won. You simply don’t have a clue. Oga Yardy, in your own time mate. Anyside of Christmas will be great!.
What a farce!
LoL @ Yardy Go slow!...I think Bode Agusto is an exceptional candidate...or i should say would have made an exceptional candidate...who wants a politican looking after money?!
