Where is Nigeria going as Andy Uba (the crook) is expected to be the Federal Capital Territory Minister. This guy was given a blank cheque to choose whichever ministry he wanted as he chose FCT. Abuja is for sale as a whole. Shame on you YarAdua as you nominated a fake Doctor of Business istration.

I hope and pray this is not true, else this would be an indication that PDP would gang rape Nigeria for another 8 years!!!!

Don't worry yourself, that Uba family is going to get into deep mess this time around.

do you think he will the senate screening, the northern assembly men should reject him, imagine of all ministries fct.
by today when the list comes out we will know the colourand intention of the yaradua goverment, i am happy that ex governors were banned, what do they want, they shud be visiting efcc right now maybe apart from duke who has ideas, the remaining shud eat spaeghetti as idris wud say.
i fear that we mightbe heading no where, obj 1st term was wasted because of political appointments, we need technocrats and honest people. i hear ojo maduekwe is sure for a post maybe foreign affairs, yaradua doesnt want him as pdp chairman. lets keep our fingers crossed.

Am still collecting my thoughts, dont know how to react. But am guessing yardua is just taking obj's formula: in 1st term please the party ( obj's 1st term he appointed the likes of ciroma, danjuma, graham douglas, asiodu etc) then in 2nd term get the reformers like obj. We're paying the price of an uncompetitive political space. I only hope he doesnt spoil el rufai's hardwork.

I don't want to believe sha since it is still speculations. Uba for fct minister? is musa out of his senses? Then he might as well make Atiku his minister for finance (round peg in a round hole abi?)

This cant possibly be thru

if obj were 2 list two names , uba might crop up. he is ubasanjo , obj godson and dear to his heart. i hope it is not true

HOW THE MINISTER WILL EMERGE
Each of the 36 states nominated three persons. From the list, President Umaru Yar’Adua shortlisted a name from each state and sent to the Senate.

He sent the names along with the six he picked from each of the geo-political zones. Under the 1999 Constitution, the Senate is empowered to ratify the list of ministers before the appointees resume office. Besides, they are to face a Senate where they will answer questions about their suitability for the job.

El Rufai shld continue den.


Yar Adua no crios.C d corrupt people wey full dt list.


When wld dey announce d winner

But am having a rethink - the chances of uba becoming FCT minister is as unlikely as an igbo man becoming lagos gov. Just keeping it real. What is raji razaki doing on that list 4 jeeeez sake. Obanikoro is just pure patronage, they shld put him at a position he'll not clash with lagos govt. If antecedence is considered, Bode Augusto may just be finance minister and dora akunliyi as health minister. But generally the list is uninspiring. Still need to know the experience behind the names.

I cant believe it! if this is true, then i'm afraid Yaradua is up to no good.

If at all Andy Uba is going to become a Minister, he should be made the Minister of Sports. That is one area of Nigeria that is in complete shambles. It is also a good place for him because despite the fact that mes the sports ministry will not bring the whole nation down, but sports fans are very sensitive and vocal. When the whole country starts complaining, they will eject him. Personally though, I believe there's an evil plot to completely make a mockery of the Ubas and completely ruin them before discarding them.

Lets wait and see.

i wonder why too many people are so surprise that uba is to be a minister.
is it not obvious that in nigeria, it has been a case of no victor, no vanquished since the end of Biafra/nigeria war.
obj was angry with yar aduar for adhearing to the verdicts of the supreme court over uba so the only way out is to ask him what he wants to avoid obj back with a third term bid again.
as we are talking, nigeria belongs to obj and it is only God that will save us.
this is a one clear case where all of here who believe in efcc shld begin to think twice.
uba's case in the usa is a clear case, established by the law enforcement agents and decided by a law court found him guilty and gave him an option of fine which he paid and forfeited most of the property bought with the money and the remaining money in the . yet he was made a governor against the wishes of his people forced out again by the supreme court and now on a ministrial list. what a shame? where in the world does a crimal confirmed by a law court becomes a preacher of war against corruption?
where in the world will an uba with a record worst than a renowed crimnal will context for a governor?
it is only in a nigeria owned and controlled sole handly by obj/yar adua group of companies.
by the way, does the birth of this istration gave any hope of changes to any well meaning nigerian?
for me, i will be surprise if the list end up without such man like our able and most inteligent Adedibu not after all his efforts in delivering pdp.
please the senate and efcc shld quick me in the campaign for Adedibu for minister of petrolium or at least minister of defence or even the minister of education. those who work must eat and let the case of adedibu not be different. yar adua my foot.

LOL! I feel your pain man. Well as for me, i have decided to resign myself to fate with matters conserning Nigeria. All i will do from now on is sit back and watch.
After the strike scenario that has just been played out, i fear there is little or no hope for this generation of Nigerians. Very sad indeed!

We shall see.

if all these names are for real then that man Yaradua is suffering from a big disease known as OBJ's stronghold. how crazy could a man be! these people feel that Nigerians are fools. Even if we keep quiet they've forgotten that there is a God somewhere. Just take a look at the last istration see how we were robbed of our rights and the new istration wants to continue in the same trend. it is truly a big shame! how could any right thinking human being ever think of making an Uba a minister any way I'm not surprised, if Borisade could be made aviation minister then what do u expect from the same PDP govt. The only prayer i have for Nigeria is that we will one day be free from the hands of Fidel Castro (PDP) that has hijacked governance in our nation.

I feel it is high time they made an Ibo man the minister of the Federal Capital. The problem is that El Rufai is doing so well and secondly Andy Uba is not an Ibo man: he's a thief! It will make no difference to the Ibos if this Prodigal is made the Minister of the WORLD.

But FCT has a minister already in the person of Engr Al-Hassan

Yaradua should not waste South East slot on Uba, it is like making Adedibu a minister. If PDP loves these fellows too much they should offer them appointments within the PDP not Nigeria.

i agree, i would like him to go over to the sport ministry, he cant get fct, the oppostion to that post will overwhelm him and his powerbrokers

I second that

Engr Al-Hassan is the exectuive secretary not the minister though he was in acting capacity

Still Uba should be fixed somewhere within the PDP if they feel he is a blessing to them

I know there is a God in heaven. . . . . that is why people like Obanikoro will not become a minister. Minister of what, sef? Even if dem dey dash person, di bobo no qualify at all!

Minister of information

If That list was true then The Yar'Adua sef is up to no good Imagine crooks like Andy Uba, Even Obanikoro that thief , cheat, Arsonist who burnt down Lagos city Mall as chairman, whose age revolves between 1954 and 1960, who has like 15 social security numbers in the U.S That crook called Obanikoro. Oh My God.

Even IBB wouldnt have thought of that list as ministers

If this is true then yaradua is a stooge afterall.Our own don finish for Naija.

I say Y'ardua has inherited one heck of a mess!  When Uba was booted out of Anambra state, I knew there was a catch.  Let's wait and see what happens!  Na wah for Nigeria oh!

do you think he will the senate screening, the northern assembly men should reject him, imagine of all ministries fct.

wonderful world huh

does yaradua really have a say, since it's the state governor( and obj's pdp) putting people forward for these positions?

It's up to the senate to reject them right?

If Yaradau appoints that gate crasher as FCT Minister that will be his end. For me that cannot happen, it must not happen. That chief thieve and  the chairman of Agboro Park should not smell any appointment. He should go and mourn for trying to bribe Judiciary to deny judgement on the clear justice. He should be ashamed of himself for imposing himself on poeple he has not done anything to. I couldnt imagine why he was saying that Peter is incharge of Govt house while he is incharge of Anambra state.

It will be a political blunder to out nation Nigeria. Some whose people rejected is coming to rule Abuja, Gwari people should protest! otherwise he will sale them and their properties to Obj and likes.

That is my observation please!

Tell me that this is a Joke.

Why has Yar'Adua ruined our Capital City. Or abee, He wants to deliberately ruin Abuja and make the Capital Katsina

Abuja is dead. Yar'Adua has stabbed Abuja in the heart. .

Less than Two Months in Office and He has already killed an entire Territory.

Now Calabar will be the only good city in Nigeria.

Why God Why.

Why Why Why.

Egbma mi o, won ti pka Abuja. Abuja ti Kuu. Won f'obe gun Abuja.
