Critical thinking....the more older you become the more prone to ill health....#FACT.
Been young is important we don't want Medical Tourists @Leadership positions...simple

How old is Biden? Or the leaders of China, Japan, Korea, Germany, Singapore, UAE, etc? How old was Mandela?!
Meanwhile, young politicians like Senator Abbas (of the s*x toy shop assault infamy) and Gov Yahaya Bello are as incompetent as any.

Youth without vision is what you often see everyday here on Nairaland…
Young Nigerians turning every news story, event or discussion into a primitive fratricidal ethnic/tribal feud! Just DISGRACEFUL!

Personally, I don’t care about age…
I only care about VISION and COMPETENCE (no need having vision without capacity to deliver/execute - that’s just dreaming)!

Buhari's nepotism, sectionalism, favouritism, bigotry, partiality and disregard for the principle of federal character is mind boggling.
I have never seen such a tribalistic leader.

It should have favoured the S.E. more. Nonsense

inderhappy:
Yoruba and igbos are still busy blaming each others for nonsense reason..... while the fulani from niger and mali continue ruling till maybe they finally get sense one day

There lies the problem, the so-called intelligent Yorubas and Igbos are being ruled by cattle herders from the North.

Not a single shred of evidence. Just empty verbiage as usual

Amaechi2023:
news telegraph should do more in listing out all the appointments made by president Buhari and their states of origin.
they can do that so we ourselves can decide where the nepotism is coming from.
you can't just give us words like a mere commoner, rather give us facts and figures.
the ministerial appointments were evenly distributed across states and regions so also was the service chiefs..

your mumu never do abi?. Continue licking Buhari's stinking ass. Ministerial and service chiefs are Buhari's only appointments right?. He has brazenly disregarded federal character in his numerous appointments in the name of " I appoint people I can trust". His nepotism is not even up for a debate. It is visible to the blind. Except you are a deluded and cankerous zombie( which I am sure you are).

“The composition of the Government of the Federation or any of its agencies and the conduct of its affairs shall be carried out in such a manner as to reflect the federal character of Nigeria and the need to promote national unity, and also to command national loyalty, thereby ensuring that there shall be no predominance of persons from a few state or from a few ethnic or other sectional groups in that Government or in any of its agencies.”


Please get the facts now! This is just security..

The North has more states, appointments goes by federal character. Why should it be surprising that they have more seats at the table?

babyfaceafrica:
And this is news? They have more states, so logically will have more slots based on quota. What we should be discussing is the Southern leaders use their slots for?..

Madueke na thief, Farouk na thief, Dimeji Bankole thief, Orji kalu ko na rogue.....

dey dia dey talk nonsense while buhari continue dey appointment his people, build rail line reach Niger republic You dey here yan rubbish,anyway you go be abooki na

Let's go back to our history and let history guide us. There is no strong argument to support the marginalisation of Igbos in Nigeria beyond what exists in the imagination of those who constantly mine the Biafra franchise to amass private wealth from brainwashed people and politicians who use same for political bargain. I can conveniently say that Igbos have had the best of Nigeria more than any other tribe. Blackmailing the country with victim mentality is not a strategy. Today, many Southern politicians and so-called activists built their public credentials on constant agitation for restructuring of Nigeria. If indeed there is anything wrong with the current political structure of the country, the blame should be more on Igbos. Who promulgated the Decree 34 that abolished 1963 Federal Constitution and unitarised the Federal structure? It was Major-General Aguiyi Ironsi as Military Head of State. With scant regard to other tribes, Igbos dominated the security agencies and the Federal civil service in the first Republic. Professor Ben Nwabueze who is now the chief priest of restructuring drafted the unification decree as Legal Counsel to General Ironsi. Igbos who literally ran the Federal Government then executed the unitary arrangement for domination and ethnic advantage. Who plotted first coup that decimated South West and Northern political establishment? The fallout of that misadventure led to the civil war in 1967. The mainly Igbo officers who masterminded the coup didn't kill any political leader from their tribe. Some Igbo leaders talk about the Civil War as if Nigeria started the war against them. Colonel Emeka Ojukwu started the war not Major-General Yakubu Gowon. Gowon had a duty to defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Nigeria.
Even with all the noise about all that is supposedly wrong with Nigeria, who are the biggest beneficiaries of Nigeria's diversity today? It is still igbos. Every part of this country welcomes them. They prosper more across the country outside their ancestral homeland. Igbos are probably the biggest real estate owners among all Nigerian tribes. In fact records show they own more than 60% of houses, Plazas, hotels and housing estates in Abuja. They play big in Kano, Kaduna, Lagos, and Port Harcourt - every part of Nigeria. I need someone to tell me the number of Hausa, Fulani, Yoruba, Ijaw, Kanuri, Tiv man or woman etc that currently have lands, houses or any business that can employ 50 people in any part of South Eastern Nigeria the same way Igbos do in South West, South South and in the North. Do they sell land to non-Igbos in South East same way they freely buy land and own properties in other parts of Nigeria?
Under President Jonathan, the government they seem to have invested heavy emotions more than Jonathan's own Ijaw tribe, Igbos got key federal appointments through Senator Pius Anyim as Secretary to the Government of the Federation. Did other tribes bitterly complain the way Igbos now do over appointments? In any case, which statutory appointments have they been denied by current government despite rejecting President Muhammadu Buhari and his party in 4 elections? Let’s get real here. Igbos really want to get all top appointments in a government they rejected and have shown unimaginable hostility despite the government offering them the best deal in Nigeria in terms of real development no administration offered them since 1960. It is on record Buhari, in two presidential contests, made top Igbo politicians his running mate. Let’s face it. Which government in Nigeria has taken on the quantum of Federal government-funded infrastructural projects that are going on in the South East than this current FG since 1960? If we analyse the Federal Budget from 2016 when President Buhari presented his first budget, the current FG has possibly spent more money developing SE in 6 years than it has done in Buhari's own North West if we consider FG's spend on Infrastructure per region.
It will appear Igbo elites prefer appointments that only benefit individuals and their hangers-on more than real development that benefits majority of citizens of that region. They covet appointment of an Igbo person as Chief of Army Staff more than Second Niger Bridge, Enugu-Port Harcourt Express, Awka-Enugu Express, Owerri-Port Harcourt Express, Port Harcourt-Aba and other dead Federal highways that are being reconstructed across the region. For all the special intervention supports by Federal Government to all States of the Federation, I am not aware President Buhari denied South Eastern States what is due to them because Igbos didn't vote for him. Question: how did all the appointments held by Igbos before the Buhari administration including Chief of Army Staff, Comptroller General of Immigration, Deputy Senate President, Deputy Speaker of House of Representatives, Inspector General of Police, Minister of Aviation, Director-General of Pension Commission, Executive Chairman of National Electricity Regulatory Commission, Minister of Power etc improve the lives of Igbo people. Stella Oduah and Osita Chidoka as Ministers of Aviation couldn't even fix Enugu Airport in 5 years or did Dr. Sam Amadi, Professor Bath Nnaji and Professor Chinedu Nebo who superintended over the power sector for 6 years supply more electricity to Onitsha, Aba and Nnewi? Having Igbo sons leading the power sector for 6years could not even resolve the legal logjam between Emeka Offor’s, Enugu Distribution Company and Geometric Power owned by another Igbo man to supply regular electricity to Aba. Whereas a Federal government being led by a man they rejected in every election since 2003 has done, in 6 years, what the Igbo adopted political party could not do for them in 16 years. It was Buhari that gave Ariaria Market, the biggest market in the region uninterrupted electricity supply.
The main point here is the fact that Igbos cannot continue to claim they are the only good people or tribe in Nigeria while others are the evil people holding them down. Certainly, hate and insulting other tribes can't be a strategy for engagement in addressing any grievances if at all there are genuine ones.

The Igbo elites must summon courage to counter the IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu's hate mongering. Igbo elites have tolerated Kanu too much without considering their own hard work, sweat and investments in Nigeria. Whatever our country is today is what we all made of it. If we now need to press the reset button it should be done in a manner we all can listen to ourselves. We must not yield the space to the mad man and his specialists in IPOB.

What they term 'nepotism' today is merely the justice and balance to the system that have for long favoured the less populous and granted almost everything to those that are the lesser population on a small region as well.
Yet some mypopic minds are busy buying the idea.... common sense is indeed not common

Ipob is said to be a Christian nation. Later you hear Judaism. Later you see people identifying with paganism.
Ipob doesn't have a religious identity. That is perhaps why success is confuse over locating them.

Honestly. Tired of having to explain all of these. We complain about lopsided appointments but fail to ask ourselves if our people apply to government jobs when advertised?

How many recruits do we have in the army that are from Southern past of the country? When most young men chose to either go into business at an early age, or seek white collar jobs over serving in the military, the northern youths who have nowhere to fall to, join the army at a tender age and grow through the ranks to become service chiefs at the end of the day. Same happens in the civil service etc

Judiciary is similar too, many lawyers who would've fit the bill as judges of the Supreme courts opt out to self practice leaving the northerns available for these jobs and yet we complain.

They are fine.
They will defend, ame rationalise every dumb thing he does. That's just how the "zombie brain works

It's ok to criticize, but I prefer facts & figures. What do you expect anyway?, which part of the country voted more for him? any investigation is a waste, it's obvious, even at that, appointments reasonable enough, telegraph or whoever prove otherwise, not just propaganda

If you must favour the north, why not the smart ones Not these dumb appointees littered over Abuja spreading "bambi Allah" mentality across the country!!!

No shade but I remember when the Honourable GEJ used to travel with a 2-3 plane entourage of various ppl, maybe many from the southern part of the nation.

Many Travels of President Jonathan -DailyTrust

http://saharareporters.com/2012/10/14/many-travels-president-jonathan-dailytrust

BY ISMAILA LERE OCT 14, 2012

Reportedly, the president had muted trimming down his entourage on foreign trips in June last year before travelling to Equatorial Guinea for the 17th African Union Summit in Malabo. A Presidency source described it as "part of a cutting cost measure" to reverse the trend of travelling with large team. The source added, "Huge financial resources are committed to presidential trips. Only those whose services are essential like security, protocol and the media would henceforth be allowed to travel with the president again."[b] But on the contrary, most trips made by the president since January had been accompanied by a large number of aides, ministers, associates and government officials [/b]which goes against the purported directives given earlier that only people whose services would be required while on the trip will be allowed to travel with the president.

No , it won't be news because it does not mention esn, Igbo and ipob. Zombie.
