It’ s frightening to know one of the reasons
people ignore the obvious is a grudge
against the president . He ’ s accomplished
remarkable things , but people are allowing
political affiliations to take precedence
over facts . When people accomplish things ,
they are awarded justly ; the same cannot
be said for our president.

buhari continue the northernisation of nigeria,the end shall tell

Meanwhile idiots were expecting the president to rush into appointing idiots like them. softly softly catchee monkey

Swerve!!!

The mistake most southerners make is that they think northerners don't go to school. Honestly speaking, few northerners that go to school do so very well. The region he comes from aside, does this man profile not qualify him for the position?

Some people just came to check which region the man is from.
NIGERIA where are we headed

Must we think every position was sentimental even when it's glaring he merits it.
I share some of our pains too, but if this is what it will take to make Nigeria work again then why not support him and move this nation to greater Heights.


God Bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria

McEwen:
