Whynotthetruth: The jazz he's using on them is just working (especially on some Southerners) because he hasn't made his final appointments. Once he makes all his appointments and they all follow this same pattern, its then you see the likes of passingshit, midoliar, demdemm (cursed son of haedes) will start gnashing their teeth. By then the jazz go done clear for their eyes... 5 Likes |

I don't know why we are always inpatient in this country. Who cares about what people call PMB. We should be more focused on what is rather than dwell on what isn't. |

People who call buhari a tribal and religious bigot have been vindicated. A leopard cannot change its spot. His apointment so far is lopsided and cannot be justified condering competence. and performance. There are far more competent hands among the south nigeria that can occupied such exhalting position. The disparity of development between the north and the south is due to purposeful leadership, vision and intellect of the southern nigeria. Most of the labour force and think tank that are sustaining and midwifing the nigerian economy are from the south. Buhari is setting a dangerous precedent in the history and annal of this country and he pushing nepotism beyond its limit. Politic of inclusion is what is helping most developed country in the word and their universities. One day , somebody from the sw or ss or se who do the same believing all humanbeings from his region are to best in terms of intergrity and competency. Let the self denial, paradigm delusion and hypocrisy continues. If you sincerely want merit, let the merit be extended to cut off marks in all entrance exams to federal universities, and colleges and also to unity schools and government parastatals. All nigerians must have the same cut off mark regardless of where you come from at the expense of federal character principle since the south nigerians are not responsible for the socio-political gap in the north. The president to me is pursuing an agenda that may be detrimental to the peace and unity of this country through his lopsided appointment. Hope the historians are taking note. Any nation that play politics of exculsion does that to its own peril. 1 Like |

Re: Were People Right About Buhari? by InvertedHammer: 3:43am On Aug 28, 2015 |
/ In the spirit of equity and fairness, how many Northerners were in key positions during OBJ and GEJ's regimes? Did the heavens fall? To how.much did the lot of the Southerners change with their people in key positions? How positively did the presence of GEJ in Aso Rock change the lives of Otueke people? I can understand the concern about lopsided appointments by PMB but it shouldn't be misconstrued as the key issue in governance. Government of parochialism, ethnicism and worse, prebendalism have not gotten Nigerians anywhere. Yet they continue to fall for the same shenanigans. This is why I frown at the term "juicy" portfolio because such suggestive lingo negates the whole essence of public service. \ 2 Likes |

Re: Were People Right About Buhari? by DamieJos(m): 4:04am On Aug 28, 2015 |
Sad indeed that PMB will do exactly what his opponents had predicted. By his northenisation of Nigeria is in itself corruption because he's defiled the constitutionality of federal character. By the appointments so far made, only only the immigration of which its a career progression. Why sidelining S S, SE $ S W especially when Tinubu was the driving force of his presidential primary success. 4 yrs is not forever. Let those marginalised now put their acts together $ do the needful. North Central has also been marginalised, this has been thecase in history. The north can boast of exclusive good character. There are lots of them else where. PMB's character is made open. |

AZeD1:exactly, they can never change, i still prefer the northerners cos they are diligent than the SE that (loves) money than life, lets watch and see how this government will unfold things, i still prefer buhari's action, the man knows what he is doing, his very first statement when he took over the power (i belong to everybody and belong to nobody) was a powerful statement and that is what we are seeing now. Ride on man, if na only nepa light i dey enjoy, atleast its a change compare to past. i support him 100%, if he like he can appoint from chad, ghana, seme, togo, so far the country is moving forward and the poor masses are happy. |

OAM4J:I would worry when projects are skewed in favour of North and not appointments. Do you remember the Cbn governor's action during the presidential visit to the US? Buhari has to work with people that share the same ideology, the NNPC and Firs bosses are not northerners. positions like COS and SGF are reserved for your most trusted allies. 1 Like |

Whynotthetruth: What role exactly |
Re: Were People Right About Buhari? by Nobody: 4:33am On Aug 28, 2015 |
AZeD1: Go and check out majority of the federal ministries and parastatals. Over 60-70% of their staff are northerners. This is also how it used to be in the Nigerian Army, till Obasanjo came and improved the chances of southerners. Through the long years of northerners ruling the country, they have succeeded in filling up most of the positions in FG jobs with their people. That why when you hear the names of directors of any FG MDA, most of them will be northerners. Appointing of mostly northerners by Buhari will worsen their already bad dominance in our system, and it isn't healthy. How do you expect graduates from the southern part of this country to get jobs in these parastatals when their DGs, Chairmen and Directors etc are all northerners? Competent people abound in every region. All Buhari needs to do is to identify them. You can't tell me that he has never been able to find any competent man from d south East, meanwhile many southeasterners are making Nigeria proud both within and outside the shores of this country. A country that already has the 1st, 3rd and 4th citizens as northerners, going ahead to fill up most of the parastatals with northerners is grossly unhealthy. Northerners don't only bother about good governance. They ensure that their people are put in sensitive positions in government because it increases the chances of their graduates getting employed by the FG. It's only southerners that don't bother, because they feel it doesn't matter. That is stupidity and insensitivity. The constitution encourages federal character, so that no region of the country is left behind in anything. It's never only about competence or excellence, otherwise 80% of intakes into the federal unity schools for instance would have been from the SE/SW/SS. When it comes to situations where academic excellence would be required, northerners remember federal character. Now, they are trying to jettison it. Preceeding governments have been failing not because they have been applying the principle of federal character, but because the presidents failed to show true leadership and oppose corrupt practices by all means. That is what Buhari needs for his government to succeed, not by choosing to cut off a whole region from his government. |

Re: Were People Right About Buhari? by christinie(f): 4:35am On Aug 28, 2015 |
I have only one question for Buhari and those who like or pretend to like his lopsided appointments: Why did Buhari not find a man of integrity from the North to use as his running mate during the Presidential election? Why did he go South? If indeed regions do not matter he should have selected a man/woman from Duara or any other part of the North to be his running mate. I bet even those pretending not to mind if he appoints only Northerners would not have voted for him. Let us not bury the truth in the name of defending our candidate. Let us call a spade a spade. Buhari is wrong and should be corrected instead of being praised/hailed. ONLY the truth shall set us free, NOT propaganda. 2 Likes |

Midehi:Just imagine your line of reasoning. Quite sad. I'm a PMB supporter too. Check my previous posts to confirm that; but your statement that you prefer the Northerners cos they do not supposedly love money unlike their SE counterparts is infantile and ignorant to say the least. The likes of IBB, Abacha, Abdulsalami etc that contributed cheaply to making this country this mess it is are from the SE I guess. They do not love money. That's why trillions of Nigerian money looted by Abacha and scattered all over the world are still being recovered till date, that's 17 years after his death. Can you beat that? |
