Mr president don't want us to look at positions with that mentality that one is juicer than the other, he wants all positions to be embraced as a national call to duty to serve. But even if we were to go the traditional old thinking way of juicy positions, the South is favored with more of such positions.

They are in charge of Works, housing, power, finance, Niger Delta, Transport, Health, foreign affairs, petroleum, National planning, Justice, solid minerals, interior, defence. You then wonder what ministries are left to the North.
================
So the next time someone is telling you that president Buhari appoints only Northerners, tell that person politely that based on empirical facts available sir/ma, you are very very wrong.

Ps: we should be concerned about what dividends we would collectively gain rather than where Mr A is from or Mrs B was born. This mentality didn't give us much in 16 years of our democracy. In fact those we call our sons and daughters have done more harm than good to our immediate constituencies..you only need to check our history.
