Obasanjo And Tinubu At War Over Buhari's Ministerial List
Obasanjo And Tinubu At War Over Buhari's Ministerial List
Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo and the National Leader of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu are reportedly at war over
President Muhammadu Buhari’s ministerial nominees.
According to New Telegraph, the trouble started when Tinubu nominated former Lagos State Commissioner for Finance, Wale Edun as Finance Minister to fill the Ogun State slot.
Obasanjo is said to have subsequently called the APC leader and warned him against choosing Edun for Ogun when his work and career were rooted in Lagos State.
According to sources, the former president’s recent visits to Buhari were based on his nominations for the ministerial list.
According to New Telegraph, some of Obasanjo’s nominees include: former Osun State Governor, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola (Osun); former Governor of Ekiti State and now the Deputy National Chairman (South) of the APC, Chief Segun Oni (Ekiti); Mustapha (Ogun); former Minister of Education, Mrs. Oby Ezekwesili and former Governor, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Professor Chukwuma Soludo.
“Tinubu and Akande’s visit to President Buhari on September 9 was an impromptu meeting. An influential official in the presidency told them of Obasanjo’s surreptitious moves to corner the ministerial nominees from the South-West. This is why the two leaders visited,” a source said.
Obasanjo visited Buhari on September 8 while Tinubu visited the president on September 9. The APC leader however denied that his visit to Buhari was in connection with the president’s ministerial list.
Buhari is set to name his ministers before September 30 despite recently saying that ministers are just noisemakers like politicians.

See What The New Customs Boss Did To Corrupt Officers
Ali, who formally resumed duties as the new Customs boss on Thursday last week said that President Muhammadu Buhari gave him a three-point mandate to reform, restructure and boost Customs revenue.
“The mandate he has given me are three basic things: go to Customs, reform Customs, restructure Customs and increase the revenue generation, simple. I don’t think that is ambiguous, I don’t think that is cumbersome. It is precise and I believe that is what all of you are here to do,” Ali told Customs officers in Abuja on Thursday.
In fulfilling the mandate, PM News gathered that Ali, over the weekend, in addition to demanding for the files of top officers of the NCS especially those from the ranks of Comptrollers and above, also reportedly enlisted the support of the Department for State Security (DSS) to investigate top Customs officers especially Customs Area Controllers, Assistant Comptroller-Generals and Deputy Comptroller-Generals to track down their wealth and property across the country.
“It goes beyond sacking them. Many of them will forfeit illegally acquired property to government in addition to losing their jobs. Some will also be prosecuted. It is the beginning of a new era in Customs. It can no longer be business as usual,” a source at the Presidency told PM News.
The source said President Buhari was particularly concerned about high level of corrupt in the NCS and the perception that “Customs is one of the most corrupt agencies in the country”.
It was also gathered that a mass purge is imminent in the Service as part of efforts to carry out the President’s directive.
It was also gathered that the past Customs Comptroller-General, Dikko Abdullahi’s tenure will be probed with a view to recovering lost revenue.
Ali has also reportedly directed the implementation of zero tolerance for smuggling, underdeclaration and Customs duty evasion.
“Any importer or agent found culpable for any gof these acts going forward will be prosecuted. No more slap on the wrist as it used to happen in the past,” a Customs officer who did not want his name in print told PM News.

10 Tips On How To Get A Boyfriend By Flamboyant Psychologist
10 Tips On How To Get A Boyfriend By Flamboyant Psychologist
10 tips on How to get a Boyfriend,Read below;
(1) Remove guys from your friendzone list. (2) Smile Often. (3) Change your normal routine. (4) Eliminate distractions. (5)Open mindset and Reasonable standards. (6)Go out less with your friends. (7)Be more active on Social media. (8) Join an Organization that is 60% male dominated. (9) Rebrand / RePackage yourself. (10) Pray...
(1) Remove guys from your friendzone list : "Friendzone" is a mental classification or categorization of a guy or group of guys in a lady's mind I.e she sees a guy as a non sexual object or as a brother. Some single ladies today see having a lot of guys on their friendzone list as an achievement or an award, they enjoy the fact that guys keep trying to get their attention or approval while they call him things like "bro" , "cuz" , "G" "padi" "Egbon" as a means to discourage him from trying to talk to them or ask them out. My question is ; if you're single and you're looking for a boyfriend why have so many guys as just friends without giving them chances? Or opportunities to prove themselves to you. Marriage counsellors have revealed that most couples were initially just friends or co-workers before they started dating. Un-friendzone some guys and see where it leads, you may just be swept off your feet or be walking down the aisle soon.
(2) Smile Often ; Look Approachable: A lot of guys are discouraged to approach a Lady who has a strong or mean face. Some ladies attend weddings or fashion shows just to frown their faces, men may be scared of instant rejection or think you're just mean. Primacy Effect in Psychology makes emphasis on first impression being an important factor in perception. So Ladies if your face is strong and your heart is soft make an effort to smile more. This makes you look more approachable, most men don't like being rejected in public by a woman so they would be most likely discouraged to approach you if you're always wearing a hard / strong face.
(3) Change your normal routine (try a new church, bar, cinema, beach) : If you're a single lady and you've been attending the same church, cinema, bars for the past 16 months and there is no visible suitor I suggest you switch the branch of your church from Ikeja to Surulere, or Apapa to VI. This is a Process known as randomization; doing something different or attending new places will give you a new set of possibilities of meeting new suitors or making new friends generally.
(4) Eliminate Distractions : (Exs, Single minded friends, friends with benefits etc ) : Exs that just hang around like vultures waiting for drunk sex to happen again or standing in your way of moving forward need to GO, "single minded friends " ladies you may have that friend or "friends" who wants you to be single because she's single too and it's ok for you to have a boyfriend only when she has a boyfriend, that friend/ friends needs to go, friends with benefits only create a mirage in your mind because you're being emotionally and physically satisfied but there isn't any strong commitment so you find yourself in a quandary or dilemma because you're living for the moment and not the future.
(5) Open Mindset and Reasonable Standards : Some Ladies have crafted and created their boyfriends or husbands in their minds, they have played the role of creator in their Cognitive Archetypes so any guy who doesn't meet a particular standard or level shouldn't even bother walking up to them. No one is saying lower your standards but there are a lot of guys with potential out there... Not everyone can be 100% and complete when you meet them.
(6) Go out less with your friends : Obviously this doesn't mean you should be a recluse but there are sometimes when you should just be that pretty or stunning lady at the mall or movies. Studies have shown that men feel more comfortable approaching a lady who is alone than with a group of ladies. Some ladies feel uncomfortable or think it's a taboo to go out alone and feel that they would look desperate or awkward but ladies write your own rules, what works for others may not work for you.
(7) Be Active on social media : some people may disagree but social media when used properly can be a good medium for meeting people. Some ladies from January to August don't post a single picture of themselves, their favorite football club, favorite movie, favorite political party on their BBM or Instagram they are basically Ghosts and observers. By posting a picture of anything you can attract a similar mind like yourself for you to at least start a conversation. It takes just one conversation to start something special
(8) Attend organizations that are 60% male dominated ( gym, dance club, weddings) : Attending the gym often is not only good for giving you a great body but also for meeting guys and you being the centre of attraction, weddings are the most popular in recent times and there are more males than females at weddings. Weddings have been credited for initiating a lot of marriages and relationships
(9) Rebrand / Repackage yourself: While Staying true to yourself and upholding your ideals and goals. Focus on making yourself better than who you were yesterday by hard work, eating healthy, networking, working out, SELF LOVE and attitudinal orientation because if you don't believe in your self no one will believe in you. Don't let your last boyfriend or relationship define you. A lot of us still carry scars from our past relationships, this creates a burden in our minds and impedes our progress.
(10) Pray: this is the most Important factor when searching for a boyfriend. Prayer does things that science cannot explain.
Remember having a boyfriend doesn't make you complete, and being single doesn't make you incomplete. There are a lot of people in relationships just to mark register " I have a boyfriend" but aren't happy. Above all do what makes you happy and what is beneficial to you, stay true to yourself and have reasonable standards..
