Good afternoon all.

Doing this from a wedding reception so I implore you to excuse my errors.

A couple of days back, I created a thread titled "A call for the preservation of the memories of today's events" (www.nairaland.com/2368500/call-preservation-memories-todays-events). That thread was inspired by the sort of negative and utterly reprehensible brand of campaign championed by the then ruling party against the Person of Mohamadu Buhari, chief amongst which was whipping up ethnoreligious sentiments among voters from a particular section of the country.

I have said it before and I'd say it again- the things we do on this forum could have very far reaching consequences on the mood of things out there, especially given the fact we now live in a cyber age where information, be they negative or positive, spread so fast like a wild fire out of control.

In that thread I stated:

Most of the points listed above were propagated and hammered on by same people who are jubilant over the emergence of Dogara and Saraki as Speaker HoR and Senate President respectively. Dogara is a Northerner, Saraki is from North Central (includes christian dominated states such as Taraba, plateau, Benue, but when the time comes, PDP will call him a "Northerner", and when you say "North", everyone thinks "Islam/Muslim ).

It is necessary putting this in writing because a
time will come, perhaps in 2019, when PDP
would want to replay that ethnic, religious,
and regional cards which appears to be the
only ammo in their arsenal- polarise Nigerians
along these lines, have them vote based on
these sentiments, and see to your retention in
office!

Now, the situation we have at present shows three of the top four positions are occupied by "Northerners" but PDP is happy about it and apparently has no qualms whatsoever with the arrangement.

I wrote this because I understand how Nigerians tend to think nowadays given how badly their minds appear to have been abused especially in the last five years. I knew a time would come when they would want to start whipping up those mundane but potentially dangerous sentiment- but I could never have predicted the script would start being read so soon!!

Someone created a thread earlier today "Northenization of Nigeria" (www.nairaland.com/2376982/northernization-nigeria#34729245) and it seems to be gathering steam because such stuffs happen to be what stairs people up these days- never intellectual discussions. Most disappointing was the fact that members of this forum whom one assumes are adults and educated are the ones in agreement with the op. One even wrote "welcome to Nigeria of 1983"!! How worse could bigotry get??

Let's look briefly to the immediate past if we may: by my estimates, these are the most powerful positions in the country and attached to each of them are the religion and regions of their occupants:

1. President.---------- South/ Christian.

2. Vice President.----- North/Muslim

3. Senate President.---- North Central/Christian

4. Speaker of the HoR.----- North/Muslim.

5. Deputy senate President.--- South/Christian.

6. Chief Justice of Nigeria.--- North/Muslim

7. Chief of Defence Staff.------ South/*Christian.

8. Deputy Speaker HoR.----- South/Christian.

9. Secretary to the Government of the
Federation. ----- South/Christian.

10. Chief of Air Staff---- South/*Christian.

11. Chief of Army Staff---- South/Christian.

12. Chief of Naval Staff---- North Central/*Christian

13. Chief of Staff to President. ----- South/Christian.

14. Minister of Finance.----- South/Christian.

15. Petroleum Minister.------ South/Christian.

16. Interior Minister.------- North Central/
Christian.

Note: * represents uncertainty on item.

Now, out of 16 positions, you have 7 from the North. When you consider their religion, you have barely 3 Muslims.

Furthermore, if we take away the position of the
Vice President since these guys always tend to ignore the position, referring to it as a mere appellation, when promoting their divisive doctrine, we end up with [color=#990000]Only Two Out of Sixteen of those positions occupied by Muslims!

Now, did we see "Northerners" or Muslims come here to allege Jonathan nurses an agenda to
"Southernize" or "Christianize" Nigeria

What is really the fuss here?? Why has this suddenly become an issue even when appointments are yet to be made??
Why are we so bent on trudging along this road that leads to nowhere but damnation?? What use is it having a blockhead installed into a sensitive position simply because he's a Christian or a Muslim, Northerner or Southerner?? Has tribe or religion ever even been a prerequisite for excellence??

As regards what happened in the National
Assembly, did Buhari conduct the election or did
he "appoint" the principal officers?? Weren't they voted by the
Congress that has in its composition a good percentage of southern voters??

I think this is nothing but a continuation of the
"demonise him" agenda the PDP pursued
vigorously during the campaigns against Buhari.

I call on well meaning Nigerians to be wary of those who are bent on polarising us along these lines and accentuating our differences. Ordinary Nigerians have never benefited from these gimmicks, never will. These are condemnable and retrogressive ideologies inspired by greedy and sadistic politicians, propagated by their paid agents, and accommodated and sustained by gullible, ignorant and unsuspecting Nigerians.

It is high time we shoved back this trash in their faces by aggressively rejecting them wherever the sprout, reminding these people how united they become whenever it comes the time to plunder the Nigerian treasury- that is the only time they remember they share a common Nationality and that they are "brothers".

Let's uphold and promote the spirit of the ties that bind us- there's everything to profit from so doing.

God bless us all and God bless the FRN.

The most annoying part is seeing someone being killed for the weak excuse of not belonging to a particular religion.



It is hard being a Blackman...

Sometimes, I read the speech of the apartheid president of southafrica, and I see a true blackman being given a perfect description by a Whiteman.

Nice write up bro

I think this is nothing but a continuation of the

vigorously during the campaigns against Buhari.

This is one of the reasons I find it so hard to forgive pdp.

God bless Jonathan.

We are talking national issues omenka and his cohorts are discussing tribal and religeon politics

God bless Jonathan.

How more can God bless a former president who lost the election and also lost his hat ( he lost in London)?

We are talking national issues omenka and his cohorts are discussing tribal and religeon politics.

If I ask you in clear language why you support jonathan and hate BUHARI, your answer will be tilted towards 'tribe and religion'.

I don't hate Buhari but I know that the CHANGE they are selling is fraud

What saTANist failed to realised is that hating & criticising PMB won't bring back Jona into power, the only thing than can happen is another NORTHERNER/MUSLIM clinching the number spot under PDP in the next 4years which is unlikely if PMB is still hale & hearty because as at today no northern politician can rival him.

Bro why don't you simply pretend to be intelligent for a change- just say nothing. It would keep people guessing.

Think about it.

It's important to keep track of events as a pointer in any case of attempted misinformation in future...Omenka you're doing a great job...

I will like you to go back to that thread you used as a basis for opening this then you will know that it was opened by tribal and religeon supremacist of Nairaland.

Continue to give yourself headache because of frivolous thread

ECOTERRORS:

How can u say the change they're selling 'is fraud' when it has not been sold to u?

We gave Jonathan 6 years to show how clueless and stuupid he's. If you don't hate BUHARI, give him just 100 days before you start your rain of attacks on him.
