wow so that's how all the posts in Nigeria has been slowly overtaken by the Northerners. it is well

I wonder what this old man has to offer that dead channel called NTA whose picture quality is like water colour.

oldincracy

Are there no fresh blood to steer NTA than bringing an old man out of retirement?

northernocracy, oldinocracy....lol for all of una

There are three zones in the north and three zones in the south, calling every northerner an hausa is WRONG, stop confusing people

This man should be in his 70s. His claiming 63

Northerner again??

Hmmmm, fear north

Welcome to mumoauhari administration

ok

Sorry for other tribes in naija!!!

so this is why nta stil have that black and whitish display. no young blood again?

and the recycling continues. leaders of tomorrow my foot, no competent youth in this our country any longer. Not surprised at all, after all Osibande once said it. and for the youths who come here to insult themselves in the name of zombies and tanoids, it's really a pity. the only plans these people have for us is for them to continue to trample on us as we continue to be their tools to grab power. imagine this people wanting to pay us 5k and we are anticipating and praising them. whatever happened to teach me how to fish and not give me fish is beyond my comprehension. these people will never teach us how to fish as we could become greater fisher men tomorrow. congrats man.... government of the olds for the olds and by the olds.

Ok. Wishing him all the best.

There are more capable southwesterners who can move this institution forward.

what the heck is ''he attended Ahmadu Bello University and got degree in social science''

what did he study...is it degree in Islamic Engineering and suicide bombing?

Rubbish. look at all the millions of young vibrant Nigerians with hi-tech knowledge in digital broadcasting wasting away.

you bring this old slow poke.

how will this man who is part of the moribund NTA for years transform it.

we are not just ready.

we don't care..he is Hausa man,that's all...besides who still watches NTA where there is channels and AIT

Queen Elizabeth,Obama & Buhari went to Hell fire.Queen Elizabeth asked the devil 2 allow her make some calls 2 England 2 inquire about the Country's welfare, so she spent five minutes.Satan billed her 5million dollars. Obama also made a call to U.S.A and spent 8 minutes.the bill was 8million dollars. Then Buhari called Nigeria and spent 2 hours.how much is my bill?he asked Satan,One dollar,Satan replied. Surprised!! Buhari said but I stayed longer than them all,"Satan smiled and said" calling hell from hell is not expensive,it is a local call.

Buhari is forever a Tribalistic fellow and the irony is that we have some hypocrites down south who will accept everything because they were give Vice president.This loopsided appointnent is too much to be be ignored is an insult on the sensitivity of other Nigerians.Thanks.
