Ever since president Buhari was inaugurated as the
president of the emerging Nigeria, some indecorous critics
have taken it upon themselves to be fighting imaginary wars,
making a mountain out of a molehill.
There’s hardly a day that would pass by that friends won’t at
every turn ask me: “where’s our change”?

On every appointment, a very close friend of mine would send the names of the appointees on my facebook wall to
notify and remind me no South east person has been
appointed by the president.
To many of my southern friends, the appointments so far is
an indication president Buhari is pursuing a northen agenda
so that a particular region would continue to dominate
Nigeria.
I don’t want to comment on the few appointments so far,
considering the fact that the president has over a thousand
appointments to make in no distant time but interesting
facts abound about this northern domination which I have
seen but don’t know if others have seen it or pretended not
to notice.
I noticed there is a BBC Hausa station, Radio France International, China, VOA Hausa, Deutschewelle Radio all airing in HAUSA but no BBC yoruba or
Igbo and the likes. Was this caused by Buhari to continue northern
domination?

What about Africa Magic Hausa? It’s even on GOTV but Africa
Magic Igbo is not on GOTV, just DSTV and on a higher
bouquet plan. So Africa Magic Igbo is not given equal
opportunities with Africa Magic Hausa. Who’s to be blamed?
Buhari!
Boko Haram have been attacking only the north and they
have not come to the South. Another evidence of the north
wanting to have everything under Buhari. Lets blame Buhari.
Again, Shekau has been silent but when he speaks in his
videos, what language does he speak? Hausa without Igbo or
Yoruba translations. Hausa domination of other languages,
is that not so?

What of the recent arrest and detention of some former
northern governors by EFCC and the 12 hours siege at the
Abuja residence of the immediate past National Security
adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd) last week Thursday, by men
of the Department of State Security Service (DSS). Was those
acts part of the northern domination of Nigeria?
Now that relevant authorities are going after politicians of
northern extraction, who were fingered in corruption cases,
some malicious partisan whistle blowers really seem to be
comfortable with it but when same authorities will begin
their manhunt of corrupt politicians from their regions, they
will still cry out that president Buhari is on a vindictive
mission.

Equity demands that: He who comes into equity must come
with clean hands. All those who contributed in the filth and
corruption on our nation’s Augean stables must never go
unpunished.

It is only those who are yet to recover from agony of defeat
and some ethnic bigots that would insist president Buhari is
pursuing a northern agenda through his appointments.
Mr.
President in his inaugural speech assured Nigerians he
would be president of Nigeria and not president of a
particular region and so far his actions has really shown he
belongs to nobody but everybody.
The truth is, common sense is not really common here in
our polity. Or how can one explain the resort to checking
where Buhari’s appointees are from not their abilities? With
the monstrous problems facing us, we are really carrying
elephants on our heads and scratching the grounds for
crickets with our feets.
May God save us from us!

Was there any message in that crap? Or you are just a dry comedian

@poster you lack simple comprehension, people are talking about lopsided military appointments and someone is talking about Gotv and DSTV in a nation of more than 256 ethnic groups and 3 major ethnic groups one ethnic group that produces the largest number of graduates and school leavers and produced a good number of people in the military has not been deemed fit to be given a single appointment.

Not that igbos need the appointment for anything but it is good records are laid straight so that when it happens in the future to the Hausa fulani they will take it in good faith.

The question u should of asked is that, were these appointees merit their positions. And also the last time I checked I see 3:3 North/South appointed military heads.

Talking about merit right , is admission into NDA based on merit or federal character, the promotion of officers is it on merit or federal character, now am I being informed that there is no outstanding igbo military man who can man airforce, navy or army, am I being told that the north now has better trained military men than the east. Does it matter to you that Ihejirika would have remained unnoticed if Goodluck Jonathan was not in power.

Well, since u fake ignorance and chose not to see here we go. The north by default has the highest population figures that is why the international media outlet uses Hausa as a broadcasting language so as to reach more audience. It also has a lot of capable hands to hold unto such positions being debated. Northerners decided the outcome of March28 polls, hence deserve political appointments ahead of other provided that the persons appointed can do job well.

A few deluded christians and some people from the south,who lack the ability to think reasonably will never see what the OP is driving at.
Before Buhari was voted,"he's a fanatics","he will Islamize Nigeria","Buhari is boko haram" etc.Shame on you! He is now the president;besides I have not seen anything close to what the religious and tribalistically motivated folks were ranting.

Moral of the story : just keep your tribe and religion to yourself.Nigeria has grown beyond that and we want a better Nigeria.
