Congratulations.
Family business. Wetin concern me ?
Just look at.
It's now family business, what a shame!
Not a good thing
This country is now turned to a family business for the politicians.. Odili's wife and two daughters are chief judge in both Abuja and Rivers.. those that merit such positions are tossed aside.. Time will tell
Kwaróption. Crude oil infested republic.
Your second time is guaranteed, who did this to us
Diri nah idiot on a normal day.
Nepotism at its finest.
First lady of Bayelsa got sworn in as a judge while first lady of Nigeria have long ran away from Nigeria because of fear of ordinary Buhari's aid who should be loyal to her and nobody is talking about it. Everything in Nigeria is upside-down.
Why should that be a news or is the wife not qualified, have I recently hear anybody condemning Buhari for holding mister of petroleum and all his lopsidedness appointments? If Buhari was an Igbo, all the it would have been revealed that he died years ago by all means.
tinubu
Following wike's footsteps? Is that the new style now? To become a governor you must have a chief judge as a wife
Just like the Little Hitler, Gov. Wike of River State ! That will not save you if you embazzled Bayelsa public money ! Criminals everywhere !
Just ask the citizens of Delta, rivers state who are conversant in legal matters about Bayelsa State Judiciary. People prefer filing their cases at the federal High Court instead.
Lobatan
Nigerians Nawahooo, this is just personal interest. Why are like this ?
Anything goes in the zoological republic of Nigeria. No common sense.
Politics is now family business 😂 Game theory....
It's Nigeria and I have seen it all. I'm not surprised anymore.
Criminals
Can you imagine ?
Nothing person no go see for this Zoo
😅
Now this is not nepotism?
Family business
Family's enrollment loading. Soon, his son go get appointment.
These people are not well at all. I don’t understand this.
Kini gbogbo radarada yi? What have they turned this country to?
All I need now is a way out of this country... Paddy paddy everywhere
Family Business Typical Nigerian
Is that not better than killing his own people like the supreme court governor/ idi Amin of Imo State is doing . Hope Uzodimma have killed over 5000 imolites. Some roasted like chicken, others beheaded and majority shot at close range.Over 150 unclaimed dead bodies imo hospital
This is totally wrong, My Nigeria 🇳🇬. This is why Nigeria as state will continue to go down......👎👎👎 am sorry!
Nepotism is nothing new for Africa leaders. So why do you people sound shock about this. I be more shock if anyone of them finish he/her time in office without putting their families into different office...
Is she qualified? Her certificate is not nepa bill? What about law school and NYSC discharged certificate? Hope they are not oluwole's forged. Barring all these, no evil is committed.
Fraud.
Lol,no be Naija.
She now has two office..1. First lady n Judge.buh if she merit am no problem.
What is this. Haba This is wrong.
This is the development PDP is bringing to Nigerians. Congratulations, this is a win for Bayelsa people
The protection & right Odili wife enjoyed in this recent past open their eyes to the importance of putting their wives in the key judicial position.Politician are thinking ahead of Nigerian.Looted funds & properties are kept under the cover of such judicial appointees.
Why can’t she if she is capable
Nigerian politicians have invent again.Putting their wife, daughter and siblings in strategic judicial ⭕. They want political power in one hand and the judicial power in the other.
Family matter
This should not be happening if Nigeria was working imagine if a case that has to do with her husband is brought before are as the judge
Nice if she merit it otherwise family business it's
That can only happen in a useless country like Nigeria
Family business continues
Nigeria has been reduced to the level of family business!
Is she’s fit and qualified then i don’t think that’s a problem
The wey den de do politics for ds Naija sef na like comedy movie 🎥
The highest level of nepotism
She Qualifies Nooow. Ask The Bulkachuwas?
A big mess. No surprise that BAYELSA is a funky State.
Nepotism
Nig will not change until people want it to change. Anyway, someone else is coming as governor to undo the nonsense
emmaikumeh I thought his wife is a nurse?
Hell yeah...
From Odili to Akeredolu nor Diri. Politicians and nepotism are one
If na Buhari we for don kill am.
Wahala
Politics in Nigeria na family affairs oh
The reason why Buhari's appointments are quickly attacked is because of his antecedent. He has more of his people in some key positions and the people are not living up to the billings.
Looters everywhere you go
😳
99% of these army generals are all fulani people without single education. That is loapsided appointments in Buhari regime every one is crying about.Generals are loyal to presidency bcis all of them are cousins sponsoring bokoharam.
Let’s be fair and call it for what it is. This is Nepotism, it’s not only when Fulani people do it then we will start shouting. THIS IS WRONG!!!!
Lol Crazy system of government😂
Madam is looking away. Is she shy ?
This is nigeria and it will keep happening to anyone who sees evil and say is good,,, I come in peace✌👌👌
Padi-Padi Government
If she merit it! Congratulations to her
The judiciary has been buried and the common man on the street will bear the brunt of this fail judiciary.
Ha! This country boasts of the most selfish, nepotist on the planet
emmaikumeh Nepotism of the highest order. Ain't this things against the law ?
Chaii when I thought I've seen it all... na waaa oo This one don worst pass Rivers State where the judiciary is in the governor's pocket.
& Twitter is dis quite? Jst imagine it was Gov El-Rufai or Gov Sanwo-Olu. Hehehhehe.... Hypocrisy everywhere on this Twitter...... Tuehhh
If na appointment then na rubbish but if na popular vote then it's nothing wrong. You can't appointment your family member even if they are competent. Let's be honest.
Wao!!
If it were buhari now . Grammer will start
Akeredolu format
Diri will be like 'take this post and no ask or disturb me for soup,hair and clothes money again oo'😂
Fear and shame is gone...
Nigeria and nepotism 5&6
Doing all this is not a bad thing Just do your job and the right thing I don't why is so hard to do? Great hospitals Constant light Great road Great services Great policies The most important thing Great Security Even if you steal billions
Family business
Beautiful.
Selfishness at the height of order
As long as bayelsa people are cool with it who are we to complain 😎
That's the importance of marrying educated women. Education meets opportunity..💯
All these family business must stop ..
She may have earned it.
What this country has turned to. Everybody nah hustler
If Buhari had done this, then we would have come down hard on him, and rightly so. But, this is wrong too
Nigeria is a laughing stock.
Na so
