Balancing things. Sai baba

The good people of the SE will be appointed....but nothing for biafraudians.....they cannot be trusted....

Yorubas are always 2nd class

Why the announcement? Ade Ipaye has been functioning as Osinbajo's COS since May 29 same as Laolu Akande who has been releasing statements for the VP's office since June.
I guess the criticism so got to Bubu he had to name Osinbajo's personal aides to appear less of the bigot he is.

Just going thru their records alone should tell you the kinda people PMB works with, wailers can wail till eternity but their tears wont distract baba... May God continue to Guard and Guide PMB, VPYO, and all those who believe in this government.
.... Abeg can someone help us with Doyin Okupe's records

Oya where are those "northernization" apostles.......come and see o. What do you guys have to say to this again

Anyways, I registered today...and I made front page today #YouCanImagineTheFeeling

Nonybb:
Eeewuchimoooo Igbos, where is our position in Nigeria eeeeh?. We have seen the result of Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani gang-up. After this Yoruba appointment, next you would see is Hausa appointment. Where is the Igbos eeeeh? Ndibanyi eee, gini ka anyi nu merenu Muhammadu Buhari ee. Buhari evuhariwana anyi ee

Onye Mbaise/Ngwa....nna suwaya!

Buhari is still a tribalist but unlike the last time under military rule, he's gotten smarter. Appointing yorubas to defend his government becos he knows a northerner defending his northernization policy would become soo obvious. I urge the yorubas to resist this and resign from all such positions meant to defend this demonic government‎

Na which class u dey ? U wey never see anything. Wailing continues. ..

Congratulations to them. They will soon start praying that APC does not leave govt. #Fela

Many lil kids on the forum actually think that relegating SE/SS to the background is to Buhari's advantage.

Just note that no nation has ever progressed without the collective effort of its major entities.

Anyone who wants a better Nigeria must urge Buhari to be national. Anyone who wants a balkanized Nigeria can continue to encourage the status quo.

Its only a function of time and not for too long.

Whats keeping President Muhammadu Buhari from announcing my name?

congrats to Ade Ipaye
