Afam4eva:

Of course, THE FACT that you cannot present. But the fact still remains. Nigeria don suffer.

I don't have to go out of my way to satisfy you NOW. I can always do that at a more convenient time.

Buhari will surely out-perform Jonathan and all past presidents since democracy returned. So, what "suffer"?

Buhari has really messed up... FACT

@anybody
Lets assume you have 9 appointments to make using the federal character clause, how do you intend to make those appointments without the northern part having more share?

I was referring to your inability to present something you called FACT.

Obiagelli:
Why do we seem to worry where who gets appointed comes from, we act like this appointments automatically mean "come and chop" rather than "come and work". We (rather they) keep quiet when the last government was appointing the biggest thieves from everywhere.
I would suppose a sane human being would be interested in how corruption free the president's appointments are rather than where they come from. It's not like when someone from your tribe is appointed you personally feel the impact. What is the fuss about?

Buhari has a 4yrs mandate, allow the guy choose those that can help him achieve the results he desires.

Don't forget about contracts, jobs and employment connections. This is why people want their own to gain appointment, and that is the rationale behind the principle of federal character.
Don't get deceived by those who put on the cloak of "competence and performance" to execute sectional agenda. This is a very sensitive issue in a highly flawed country like Nigeria with so much imbalance and injustice.
Ask yourself; would the northerners have adopted our kind of diplomacy and maturity if the reverse was the case?

Just watch how these so-called competent appointees flood the Custums, Immigration, Civil Defence, Army and other large govt agencies with their northern kinsfolk while our very qualified people from the South are discriminated against and unemployed. then it will no longer be " I Don't Care As Long As They Perform".

1toRtoiSe1:
stop acting like we all don't know how much of a scam that bridge is.

Even if it was the greatest scam in world history, the project is very important to the southern economy and Nigeria at large.
There are more civilized, sensible ways of trimming an inflated albeit critical project than stopping it outright.
This was the same thing he did to the jakande project, a far better administrator than buhari will ever hope to be.

1toRtoiSe1:
you should have used the above space to point out the senselessness in the post. I guess you couldn't find a fault in it.

Anybody who feels Buhari would have won the election with a muslim-muslim ticket is a kid in the new Nigeria.



Why should i waste my effort tolerating such reasoning being ?

4Play:


I often find this sentiment profoundly silly not because I have much regard for PDP but because of what it reveals about Nigerians' lack of perspective. PDP came into power in 1999, the Nigeria of pre-1999 was an odious calamity. You often find people who either don't remember the Nigeria of those days or were kids/young at the time and had no real knowledge of the actual state of affairs then, basing their analysis on the notion that PDP is the root cause of our problem. They do so because PDP is all they have known in their adult life.

Nigeria was messed up before PDP was formed, therefore, what is wrong with Nigeria transcends PDP. This is a 55 year old country which has been dysfunctional from the beginning. You can keep deluding yourself that regurgitating political characters from the past, so long as they are not PDP, is the path to a new beginning but that is the height of self-deception. I predict that we will be dissapointed just as we have been for 55 years. In 8 years time, people who are infants or teens today will proclaim that our problem is mainly attributable to APC. We will never learn.

How bad was Nigeria in 1999 that PDP didn't make it worse?
I was in my final year when OBJ was elected. How old were you then?

PDP messed up the country and left it worse than they met it.

1. What was our electricity generation capacity when they came? How did they leave it with all the billion of dollars spent?

3. What about pipe borne water?

4. The education system?

5. Infrastructures?

6. Security?

7. Fuel?

Most of the gains Nigeria has recorded since 1999 were out of natural occurrence and development. E,g, opening up of communication and technology.

Compared to what the country earned in those sixteen years and what PDP spent to "achieve" whatever they claim to have achieved, PDP was a complete disaster. They simply engaged in "chop-I-chop" governance.

Pls, just stop it already.

All I see here is corruption, corruption and more corruption. We clamor for a transparent nation yet we harbor corrupt intention.

I would like to see ogbonnaya's demeanor right now.
Buhari just called him incompetent and corrupt, unworthy of the SGF position.

Worry about a united country first.
You need unity and a common sense of belonging before talking of transparency.

Someone just asked me how many northerners are in the super Eagles, we don't wail about because we have our best legs know to our coach.

The socio-economic state of the north tells us otherwise.

You don't get sense of belonging by appointments, this is not a power sharing government. I respect your opinion though

This is the same zombie who believes a thing like Buhari "body Language" and "Integrity" has magically increased our power supply and repaired our refineries.

Obiagelli:

Your politics are too idealistic for the current Nigerian political reality.
How then do you create a sense of belonging for a widely divided country if its leadership is irrationally cornered by a certain section at the expense of others ?

Obiagelli:

I still support Buhari, but let no one use the corruption mantra to distract you from the salient issues.
People lobby for positions and contracts, apply for jobs with the best intention.
The north will keep benefiting from our self-adopted negative stereotypes.

The new question I kept asking is; if Buhari cannot observe the principle of federal character in his key appointments, who are his appointees to do otherwise?
Let's not forget, this same north has already pocketed the president, senate present, HOR Speaker and the CJN. First time in Nigeria's history (if I can remember). Isn't that enough to worry about? And is the president not abreast with this?

This is Nigeria my dear! And you know how difficult it is for a graduate to get a mere police job.

TheSonOfMark:
You expect well-ratiocinated explanations from Buhari's equally bigoted sycophants?
Here's what would happen:

*They'd invade this thread to post inciting comments instead of issue-based FACTUAL explanations devoid of overbearing sentimentality.

*Supporters of PDP would be forced to defend themselves.

*A free-for-all cussing polarized squabble would occur.

*When Buhari's sycophants realize the purpose of this thread has been defeated and they've successfully diverted attention from his glaring nepotism and bigotry, they'd desert this thread and move on to the next one to regurgitate the same cliched sentences.

Predictable lots.

You seriously don't get the point.
The argument i have against buhari is not just because they are northerners. It is that there are far better candidates in the south and in higher numbers.
If the north had the best track record in governance, their leadership position would be justified beyond reasonable doubt albeit grulgingly.
The north is one of the worst places on earth to be a child,how can you then justify their domination of a supposedly progressive nation.?

Great Post. Please preach

PassingShot:
@OP, a mistake in your thread: PMB may not have appointed someone from the SE but Dr. Ibe Kachukwu, the GMD of NNPC is Igbo.

I am extremely disappointed and at the same time appreciates the character of the president. The personality that he sticks to his gun as far as he believes in what he's doing. Though this type of attribute, as it's strength, can also become weakness.

Having said that, these latest appointments cannot be justified on the ground of absence of competent and upright characters in the SS/SE/SW.

Too late brother.

hinwazaka:

An individual who spent four years in a University would not utter the unintellectual gibberish you just wrote. So to perform as a president, he should disobey the constitution, which promotes federal character. To you PMB's understanding of presidential conduct is to exclude an essential and important region from his government. It's obvious that, to you, PMB can do no wrong. Keep on deluding yourself, you and your supporters club will be the greatest catalyst in PMB's inevitable failure.

^^^So much for their 'nation'....their 'one Nigeria', that a President can't work with or trust a significant part of the country or an entire regional block! Now if you say 'no wahala.....since we can't be trusted, don't measure up with other ethnic groups on the incorruptible scales, and thus can't be given equal treatment with everyone else, can we now leave so everyone can quit the pretense'....if you say that now they'll remind you of 1967-70 and threaten more genocide, war crimes, and blood of dogs and baboons on your head!

Makes you wonder doesn't it?

we are only as divided as we want it, the 3 biggest appointments are equally shared anyway, customs, firs and the NNPC

The OP is very silly. When we told you that Buhari is a bigot, you were one of the many morons that voted him. Now you want to sit on the fence.

It is better for us in the Biafran Dynasty, cos we already know that nothing good can come from Buhari. The stock market has lost billions already and there is no single project started by Buhari, no Ministers, yet oil is being sold daily and the money is being used to settle election sponsors.
