@BashirAhmaad I really wondered if you would have cared to write this long epistle of apologies if she wasn't from your ethnic group and religious affiliation. We just must learn to show same sympathy across all tribes and religions and not only be do so when it touches our 'own'!

@Rxbremen You hit it on the nail!!

@misshembe Happy birthday to you! Keep trusting God to see you through the process.

@d_ocheido Congratulations Deborah! But I am wondering how did you get the PR after being rejected on Spousal work permit? I think you should clarify so we can better understand the testimony and trust God the more.

@VeryDarkJoe Wow, this is really encouraging!

@DreamDaisy89 @VeryDarkJoe Glory to God!

Ok. This is a good first step. Those who constantly shout “Get government out of the way and let the private sector do everything” convinced government to give IPPIS payroll management to the private sector.

But when I was in government, we realised that the private-sector companies managing it were themselves creating ghost workers on IPPIS. We also realised that, ghost workers aside, some public servants who do exist were collecting up to 20 salaries each! With BVN it is possible to find out who is actually collecting the salaries if the banks are willing to help.

Biometric verification is an important first step to reducing the cost of governance but it is only a first (and easy) step. A comprehensive audit of all agencies, commissions and extra-ministerial bodies is also important. That is one of the things that the Oronsaye Report did. Since that 2012 report, the number of these bodies that draw on the federal budget has trebled.

Do the biometric audit of staff, then the audit of agencies, commissions and extra-ministerial bodies, and check with PENCOM how many people the Federal Government is paying contributory pensions for.

After doing that, decide which agencies you want to merge or scrap, and which ones should be giving us revenue instead of us funding them from the budget.

The last step should be people that we want to ask to go. Again, that will be graduated, starting from offering redundancies and giving people an incentive to go. At all times, have the trade unions alongside, so that they can see that reduced personnel costs will make it easier to pay those that remain better. It can be done.

@Oladejiakinn @Oberiko_Pro @mikeachimugu01 @Oladejiakinn. This is one of our problems in Nigeria. ITKs! Maybe you don't even know that GPT-3.5/4.0 was trained on standard human writing. If someone writes well, you immediately assume it's ChatGPT, especially when you see the long dashes. You better change your mentality!

[Ifeanyi Kalu, Engr., PhD @ikalu2012]

@Oberiko_Pro @flyunitedng @FAAN_Official Kaiiiiiiiiii, this is sad! We, Nigerians are just the cause of all our problems in this country! Dubious, greedy, selfish, wicked to ourselves. Just want to extort and leech off others! These airport officials should be penalized for this kind of harassment.

[Ifeanyi Kalu, Engr., PhD @ikalu2012]

@JohnsonProvost @GovWike Kaiiii, Nigerians, we seem to be cause of our problems! See how u're hailing him for his daughter graduating oversees! When will they fix our educational system & make it strong that their children can study here, at least for their first degree? Hope we get it right soon!

[Ifeanyi Kalu, Engr., PhD @ikalu2012]

@mikeachimugu01 Well done Mr. Achimugu! Please keep this good job going!
