CSTR2:
So you are telling me there are not enough southerners that are part of buhari's inner circle?
How then did he win the national elections?
You are right though. He has only four years and he better succeed with his northerners, or this country will never recover from the eventual backlash of his bigotry.
The southern power brokers are watching.

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.


Oops! By the way, I am a "Wailer"- a proud one at that. I suppose "wailing" for a better democracy is honourable.♦

Dhugal:

Federal Character is for every public service post,including civil service.When are you going to stop playing ostrich?.
Or can it be said you truly don't know,you're that ignorant?

blueButtocks:
There are more appointments coming. Let's be patient.


Truth be told, I think Buhari is trolling the Tanoids. Even the most ardent of Buhari's haters would have been shocked by the announcements today. It was completely unexpected. This nigga really gives no Bleep.

For once, we have a leader who understands what it means to be President. A man who survived a coup and lost 3 elections really has it all to prove. And he will only appoint those whom he trusts. I only hope he applies a little wisdom in his next appointments to douse the tension of ethnic sentiments that's beginning to fester.

EyesulO:


Right, but that is still not to say that there are no honourable and very capable southerners who can be trusted in the helm of affairs.
Are northerners truly that incorruptible? This your song will change down the line, i bet you, just wait and see.

Obiagelli:

Honest response pls, how many northerners do you have in your inner caucus? if you have got 10 children and you are forced to give them away, how many will you give to people outside your caucus just to make them feel a sense of belonging?

substitute the above for appointments, that is how a serious leader thinks.

peeparty:


dem never chi chum chin.

mtcheee mouth action president#olodo

1toRtoiSe1:
what if the people he appoints, which currently aren't from you stock, perform and end up being the ones to facilitate a 2nd niger bridge, a SE seaport, federal roads, federal presence etc in the SE, will you still prefer he had appointed based on ethnicity equality? Remember how GEJ appointed mostly from SE. No one complained until they started looting and not performing.

Wait till his appointees fail before you wail. That was what the SW did concerning GEJ's administration.

Osode:

A nothern friend once told me that the 'Education' that southerner pride themselves on is their Greatest Undoing.

wiegraf:
Even I, a northerner, am somewhat confused

It's starting to become too much.... Haba!

Abeg, 9ja, no too vex. Wait small first, other appointments still dey. He doesn't deliver? Vote him out soon enough

AZeD1:

I haven't said there are no capable southerners or northerners are the only incorruptible people.
As a matter of fact, if it had turned out differently from how it's playing out, then I'll had concluded that Buhari was joking.

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.

Afam4eva:

I just hate defending Jonathan but when some people make it a habit to be misinformed, i have to say something. Do you have any proof whatsoever that 70% of Jonathan's appointees were southerners or that there were more southerners than Northerners in his government. I've seen you guys throw such half baked facts around and it's becoming embarrassing. You have to understand that the North will always win whether an Ijaw, Igbo or Yoruba man is the president. Nigerian structure has just been setting in such a motion that they just always have to win. Do you think they would fold their arms and watch Jonathan appoint 70% of his staff from the South? Do you even think Jonathan has the mind to go through with it?

DDeliverer:
1year grace period? interesting.

what happened to 100days in office?

I am fully persuaded that at the end of the 1year, some naboobs of negativism will still say its too early to criticize the sole administrator.

PassingShot:

[s]I will look for the document and present to you later. Maybe not 70% but you cannot argue that it was skewed in favour of SS and SE.

Besides, did where his appointees came from had any significant effect on his performance? His Otuoke community recently cried out for lack of potable water and other basic amenities?[/s]

CSTR2:
And i thought you were for crediblity and the ability to deliver with proven track records and not for politics of ''my people''.
Of course, buhari has more northerners as his friends, but Nigeria's best minds are resident in the south.
It should reflect in the appointments of a so-called progressive government.

christinie:
point of corrections:
1. Buhari stopped the building of 2nd Niger Bridge.
2. GEJ did not appoint mostly from the SE. His appointments cut across.
3. The Northerners Buhari appointed end up employing 99% of their tribe in the Federal Civil Service so that affects other regions.
Etc.

ZUBY77:


I am sorry to say this but you are such an idiiiot.
"more appointments coming" really?

What stopped him from appointing people from other tribes first?
He first of all, chose Adesina so he could humiliate him into announcing his one sided cabinet for him.
And the Yoruba thought he recognised them.

This Dullard doesn't know how far Nigeria has gone.

BTW what other appointments are there?

Immigration gone.
Custom gone.
Inec gone.
Chief of army gone.
Ssg gone..
Maritime gone.


What other appointments are you talking about?

Ministers would be my guess right..
Ministers he already said won't be awarding contracts.

A society like Nigeria is where this old man is playing this game.
Let's watch and see.

Obiagelli:

I would think a wise leader should form a caucus of credible people with proven track record and thankfully of Buhari's appointments have not fallen short of these attributes except of course the "appoint my people too" you are fighting for.

drunkenmaster:


So all you care about are contracts right? Don't you think your comment is myopic? I guess you've only made it to this point because of contracts gotten through your tribesmen right?

CSTR2:
Other appointments still dey is what we have been saying since day one and yet the bigotry is getting worse.
Don't be an ostrich my friend.
