Ok

serious

As already informed by the die-hard tribalist president, the 5% SE are not represented in an endemically tribalized committee.

Unfortunately, not carrying everyone along will be Buhari's undoing. It will bite him so hard in due time because every move henceforth will be tribally interpreted and shall inspire various reactions.

Sai baba

This is epic! I love this move. I know, even if this kinda stuff were established by a former president from Otueke, implementation would've been a problem. It would've been talk talk and get paid for talking. But now that Buhari is in charge, I'm very confident that anything that comes out of this will work.

Another wailer has come, please read or make research next time before you come. Professor Itse Sagay is from the South south, Delta State

And please must a man be chosen according to tribe. It's this your tribal bigot attitude that has led Nigeria to where it is now.
Go and sleep if you have nothing important to say

Nice one. Finally, a deltan (Itsekiri) heading Buhari's committee.

Patiently waiting

You cannot wish away a century old ethnocentric nature of a nation away in 4 years.

It has to be systematic or it backfires badly.

Wailers, how this sound


God bless PMB
God bless Nigeria!

They are not known to have a great anti-corruption trait. Instead they are always challenging any legal effort by whipping up the "my brother" defence. A very bad reputation that has become an ignoble identity.

Good effort once again by the president. Nigeria must seize this opportunity to kill the disease called kwarruption.

As usual, the typical region is begging for corruption to be pardoned and extinguished slowly. And you still wonder why the committee is composed as it is?

Baba is working

Congrates to the professor, I believe he will do a nice job because "look at his face" the man is not smiling at all. No joy for the polithieves.

The man is not smiling at all

You lot really contradict yourselves. Why on earth is the need for lamentation. I think it has been stated times without number that the "5%" don't need anything from the new govt. So why is it whenever there's any appointment, there are still groanings and ranting from some quarters?

Besides, in what way would the names included up there benefit people ftom that region..... If I may say, people only get unnecessarily elated when they see their kinsmen nominated for anything, truth is, only close family members which represent 0.00005% may be lucky enough to benefit. Provided there's anything at all to benefit.

Ghen Ghen!!! Action film want start

My observation about PMB'S appointment thus far :- I think he's more interested in Technocrats than Politicians. I noticed he started off with Guru's and Professionals, at least to lead and make the way before the nomination of politicians (possibly) for ministerial posts. However, I think he's also using that opportunity to understudy his proposed cabinets. In addition to that, I also think he gives no damn about however people feel about his nomination, he's more interested in results through capable and most importantly "trusted" (he can't afford to make mistake of giving posts to people whose loyalty lie elsewhere, hence selling out) hands than satisfying or pacifying anyone.


In conclusion, I observe he understands the sensitivity of the starting off point, he would rather have it all right first by employing professionals with sound experience before formal invitation to the "special guests of honor ".

make den start on time now... No time to watse time...

Are you saying babagoslow is too fast for your liking.

Awon wailers sha

All well meaning Nigerians should support this step . Corruption is a stage 4 cancer on Nigeria and if Nigeria fails to kill corruption, it is very evident corruption will kill Nigeria. Nigerians should be tired of living in a third world country where the leadership is having a good time on their common wealth. Nigerians should be the check and balances to eradicate the menace of corruption and nepotism. Hold the leadership and their proxies feet to fire and make them accountable for their mismanagement of the country.

All some people do is to check list to see who is from South East and lambast the eassence of any formation no matter how good it is. How on earth can we move forward with such irritating skewed mentality? Haba!

Compare a Doctorate degree holder and SSCE holder......

sometimes being too educated does not translate to competence.

Nttor!!!!!

I warned Igbos here during Jonathan administration against your public show of hatred for Northerners and Yorubas. Igbos destroyed that gentleman administration with pure and undiluted tribalism.

They manipulated Jonathan in putting Igbos in all the sensitive government positions and left others with nothing.

Can someone tell us about any administration that has done this below since independence except Aguiyi Ironsi administration who was equally Igbo?

Jesus christ!!!! A single region occupying all these below in a single administration:

1). President- Jonathan (partly Ibo but originally Ijaw man)

1a). Senate Deputy- Igbo

1b). Deputy Speaker-Igbo

2). SGF- Ayim Pius Ayim-Igbo

3.) CBN- Emefiele-Igbo

4). Finance-Igbo

5). Health-Igbo

6). Aviation-Igbo

7). Petroleum-Igbo by virtue of her husband

Can someone spot pure wickedness and tribalism of Igbos in the list above. Igbos are hated today by Northerners as a result of what the first Igbo who became the president of this country did which is 100% similar to this.

Igbos are too tribalistic to be a president of this country.

It was at last administration that I knew the devil you know is better than the angel you don't know which means that Hausa/Fulani are far way better than Igbos.

Your mentality is severely damaged and appears irredeemable, federal character in a technical body like this again

If Buhari is a man I challenge him to jail Jonathan. But the terrorist pedophile, the defiler of Aisha and the killer of armless baboons and monkeys is a coward.
