Forget about any membership or no membership form. You must understand the OP is only making fun.

The constitutional provision that appointments should take care of ethnicity, religion and geographical zones is not there for nothing. It's a deliberate attempt to foster unity, mutual respect and peaceful coexistence.

As things stand, the president has not complied with that provision in the constitution. So, he needs to make ammends without delay. If possible (I know it's a long shot), let him reverse some of these latest appointments to accommodate other regions.

First, I don't recollect where I picked up fight with the OP. I understand the fun part of the thread.
I also understand the constitutional provision. But sincerely, this is where I actually have issues with the wailers. Many of them have derided the north for being parasites, that they don't contribute and are just "there to fulfill the federal quota system". They have long called for the federal character "thing" to be abolished. Well on a light note, now that it has been "somewhat" done away with, they are still wailing. That's why they say be careful of what you wish for because you may just get it.

I said in an post earlier today and let me repeat it here. I am a Yoruba - proud one at that. But what did we gain when OBJ/Bankole were in their respective offices? Same goes for people from David Mark and Ekwerumadu's village. Now we have the VP and two slots in HOR, are we supposed to be happy just because our sons are their? Is that our dividends? OBJ our son sunk billions into PHCN without much to show. Now PMB is less than 100 days in office and we have recorded highest electricity transmission in our history. There are many more examples that I am sure you are aware of.

The point I am making is it will be nice for PMB to follow federal character but that should be a secondary requirement. The main thing is to get the job done - even if it means choosing his team from one village. Will the people of Ogoni care about having their son in power now that PMB has given the order to clean their land? A feat their son could do in six years?

We are in emergency situation to correct the rot created by 16 years of pdp misrule. we need to reduce corruption, win the war against insurgency, we need good health care, education and other social amenities. This is not the time to give federal character priority.

And BTW, there are still other appointments to made.

So u mean there are no capable hands in the south?

funkybully:
[s]
Rubbish, if federal character is to b done away with, let it be all round. No consideration for north when it comes to jamb, common entrance, etc. Let's see how they will get admission with 2% into unity schools.[/s]

funkybully:
[s]And for ur assertion that other appointment will still be made, that is just a nonsense defense tactic.[/s] Every state is entitled to a minimum of one minister. We already know he will give SE ministers of state portfolio, [s]he deserve no accolade on that. no problem about that but the appointment has been grossly lopsided from any angle u look it.
Buhari is setting a precedence that will eventually scatter Nigeria as power will eventually leave north one day whether by divine Providence or any way.[/s]

Rose2014:
When I created a thread asking for SS/SE people that supported Buhari to share their experiences, they called for my head.
They said I was a wailing wailer and they said I should wait n see how oga BuBu will balance the next set of appointments.

I've bn mostly on ghost mode since yesterday reading comments from Buhari's staunch supporters publicly wailing unlimited
While we've kindly accepted the members that registered yesterday, I regret to announce today that there are no more wailing membership forms due to over population in the club. Many people across Nigeria have shown(including Hausas Yorubas SE/SS) have shown interest in joining our club, hence we have to close admission for now.

From nl, the people our club accepted as at yesterday are Afam4eva, Hungerbad and passingshot. We all know they are Buhari's nl supporters but I respect the fact that they spoke out on time(without influence) unlike those that waited for APC leaders or Hausas to complain before they tried joining us.
Anyway the forms are gone, Hence Any wailer trying to join us in the wailing today is on his own. Kindly stay where u are

Long live nairaland

Its not about availability of capable hands in the south. Everybody knows the answer is pretty obvious. It is about what is important to us. Appointment to kinsmen or delivering good governance. I hear many of the newly approved private refineries are from the south. Like I said elsewhere, even if each of those 65 refineries employs 100 people, that is a whopping 6500 jobs. I'll take 6500 jobs before considering if Ameachi or anybody from the south be given appointment.


Simple!!
Then lobby to make the cut-off for the students from your state to be as low as that of the north! Why worry about the low cut-off from the north. People are being encouraged to go to school so they won't be readily available BH members tomorrow (and their girls married off at early age) and you are pained by that. If you are really desperate equality, then start working so the cut-off for enugu and anambra be reduced to the same level as that of yobe.

Now the highlighted part is the type of mentality that PISSES ME OFF.
We are talking about cutting the cost of governance and you are still promoting 1 minister from each state. What has the number of ministerial portfolios got to do with the number of state? So if Ijebu and Anioma states are created tomorrow, we will have to create two extra ministerial portfolios as well. THAT IS JUST CRAP!
And again, since you mentioned it, let me ask what the hell is the minister of state doing that the main minister cannot do? For example, will the ministry of education collapse without a minister of state for education? Is this not the wastage we are talking about. So you will be pissed off if PMB chooses to run a compact gov of 20 ministries abi since obviously the potfolios will not go round to every state. You may want to read what Festus Keyamu has to say about the legality of not following the usual 1 minister per state bu1lsh!t http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/keyamo-buhari-can-appoint-less-than-37-ministers/210359/

PassingShot:

Thanks. The last appointments are indefensible. Because of them, I couldn't place my article on PMB's three months in office as I earlier planned.

It won't make any sense to a lot of people. It wouldn't have made sense to me if I was a neutral too.

fx45:
Quit peddling that falsehood! Buhari has done absolutely zilch with regards to the improved electricity supply. Credits should go to the last administration. I mean how can a sane person take credits for someone else's achievements? That's the height of dishonesty

Rose2014:


*in a whisper* Nnem I heard Amechi has gone to London.

Passingshit:

First of all, the emboldened is not true. The increased electric power transmission we enjoy now shouldn't be credited to PMB. Buhari himself knows that GEJ started it before he left.
Secondly, the reason why the Yoruba tribe supported Buhari is because GEJ marginalized them during his tenure. It was simply a revenge mission and not because of PDP's 16 years of misrule. Who are the PDP/APC btw? Are they not not still the prostitutes jumping from one party to another? Abeg, leave story

.....the Problem most westerners had with Uncle Joe was two-folds. It was a case of double jeopardy. The main issue was performance! The marginalization just compounded it and made things worse. Most westerners wouldn't have cared much if he had performed. Most would have looked beyond the marginalization if he had delivered dividends of democracy. But most people found it very difficult to point to one aspect of their lives that GEJ improved and to make things worse, he made unnecessary enemies by offending some powerful politicians who capitalized on the marginalization issue. Just listen to Fashola during the APC interactive Town Hall Meeting in the buildup to the election:
