And the southerners are dummy enough not to see this pattern.

Not everyone is dumb sha..

All the International NGO jobs only announce vacancies in the extreme north, which means all projects in the south are suspended.

so I have been aware of the trend but its not every intelligence you announce.

Buhari is just too old and lacks wisdom. He is just a stupid old man. My fear is hope he doesn't go beyond 2019. Then another northerner comes in cos Yoruba and igbo dont have cooporation. The north feels they have population. Even 10 year olds vote in the north.


He will rule till 2023 and if he fails to handover power to the Igbos, then the call for secession under the banner of Biafra will take a different dimension that the international community will insist on Referendum.

President Muhammadu Buhari is not a true leader and not a Nigerian President. He is too sectional and as well be called and addressed as Northern Nigerian President and not the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

FemiMaduka:
You'll even be more surprised to find out that 'north' to Buhari means all those Fulani and Hausa areas of Nigeria. I WROTE THIS YESTERDAY:

Bro quit pretending to yourself. Whatever hate or disapproval Buhari is getting from the SS/SE is self-inflicted. Yes, I know the Igbos could be very emotional especially on any issue bordering on the Civil war, but it is justifiable bro! We are talking of the spectre of 3million dead - it doesn't go away easily. Did the South East hate on Obasanjo? Did it hate on Yar'adua? Is the South East hating on Osibanjo? You know deep in your heart that it is a resounding NO! Buhari has justified this hatred through his actions prior to his presidency and even presently. I don't hate Buhari but he is a bigot who only feels comfortable in the midst of his kinsmen. Need I remind you that Tunde Idiagbon's father was a Fulani man like Buhari (link the dots). Today, it takes a sensible man to discern that Buhari is systematically sidelining Osibanjo...the blood of the youth corp members spilled (in the north) on the strength of his campaign utterances (usually in the Hausa language) will haunt him


So Idiagbon's father is a Fulani man.?

No wonder

Unfortunately, many Yorubas don't know

You talk like an unrepentant parasite. Who put your region in tumult? Are you not the ones that formed Boko Haram? Your own Boko Haram destroyed your home and you are here saying some people were happy when your region was in tumult.

Is the south responsible for your high poverty rate in the north? So, why dump your dead weight of self-induces poverty on other parts of Nigeria, you bunch of empty parasites?

Buhari is probably the most sectional president Nigeria ever have.

Education could have removed that but he wasn't schooled enough. He is crude no doubt and the sectional attitude is in him like peak.

He wouldn't worth much after he left office. It's sad he destroyed his over hyped integrity with his own hand.

The President of the World Bank Group, Jim Yong Kim, said on Thursday that the bank had concentrated on the northern region of Nigeria in line with President Muhammadu Buhari’s request.

Kim and the Managing Director, International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, who spoke at separate press conferences in Washington DC, United States, also advised Buhari to invest in


things that would enhance economic growth.

Kim said, “You know, in my very first meeting with President Buhari he said specifically that he would like us to shift our focus to the northern region of Nigeria and we’ve done that. Now, it has been very difficult. The work there has been very difficult.

“I think Nigeria, of course, has suffered from the dropping oil prices. I think things are just now getting better. But the conversation we need to have with Nigeria, I think, is in many ways related to the theme that I brought to the table just this past week, which is investment in human capital. The percentage of the Gross Domestic Product that Nigeria spends on healthcare is less than one percent.”

He added, “Despite that, there is so much turbulence in the northern part of the country, and there is the hit that was taken from the drop in the oil prices. Nigeria has to think ahead and


invest in its people. Investing in the things that will allow Nigeria to be a thriving, rapidly growing economy in the future is what the country has to focus on right now.”

Kim also said, “Focusing on the northern part of Nigeria, we hope that as commodity prices stabilise and oil prices come back up, the economy will grow a bit more. But very, very much important is the need to focus on what the drivers of growth in the future will be.”

According to the World Bank boss, the bank will invest in human capital in other parts of Africa in order to prepare the continent for the next phase of growth.

Lagarde, in her remarks, said Sub-Saharan African countries, including Nigeria, had posted suboptimal


growth in recent times.

The growth figures, she said, were far too small considering the huge demographic potential of Nigeria and other countries in the region.

As a result, she said the IMF would be engaging ministers of finance and central bank governors from the region attending the annual World Bank and IMF meetings on how they could boost and stabilise economic growth.

Lagarde said, “The Sub-Saharan Africa is one region of the world where growth is suboptimal. Those countries grow at an average growth of 2.5 per cent. That is too low for the demographic expansion of the region.”

The IMF managing director said emerging and developing economies must invest more in their economies through infrastructural spending, strengthening safety nets, allowing women more access to the labour market and carrying structural reforms.

If this is entirely true, then Buhari is not fit to preside over this country (Nigeria).

How else can an individual reject his fellow citizens on grounds of ethnicity. This error should be corrected so it will not be repeated by future leaders.

NIGERIA WAS MOVING FORWARD IN THE SENSE THAT LEADERS TRY TO CARRY ALL SIDES ALONG BY EVENLY DEVELOPING THE REGIONS OF NIGERIA. NOW, BUHARI HAS BROUGHT BACK THE OLD STYLE OF GOVERNANCE OF NEPOTISM. PERHAPS, WHEN ANOTHER PRESIDENT COME ON BOARD, HE WILL FOCUS ALSO ON HIS OWN SIDE. AREN'T WE RETROGRESSING BY DOING SO?
