This president is still as divisive as ever. Weak in fighting insecurity but very active in appointing his ethnic members who are more active in helping him run down Nigeria.

shocked The government complained about too many fragments that could lead to the break up of the country with one hand and uses the other hand to cause more fragmentation. Just imagine not nominating one name from the South East. Maybe Buhari believes South South and South East are the same looking at the list he provided!!!

Long overdue...

President Buhari is working.. Too bad, some evil netizens, sponsored by corrupt politicians to destabilize his government, will invade this thread.

They've been having a field day since morning, peddling fake news and outrageous propaganda to tarnish the image of President Mohammadu Buhari.

But they'll keep failing. Nigerians are wise now. They can tell the difference between authentic news and news specifically sponsored to attack the integrity of Mr President. They never believed the fake news earlier peddled by the merchants of anarchy.

And to the Patriots out there, I appeal to you all to continue to be good and supportive. Don't attack or insult anyone. If they attack you, leave them to God. That's exactly what our President represents - peace, love and unity.

Nigeria will be great again.

God bless President Mohammadu Buhari.
God bless Professor Osinbajo.
God bless Nigerians.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

After this 8yrs of northern dominance, some idiot will want power to go back to the north again in 2023? That will be the catalyst to split the fragile Nigeria.

Nepotism has been the practice of Nigerian presidents of Northern extraction.The current President Almajiri has carried nepotism to the level of insanity.
All federal establishments such as the military, judiciary, security agencies, immigration, customs, ports authority, railways, prisons, NTA, NAN, NNPC, aviation, ministries, name it, have all been bedevilled by nepotism.
Nepotism results in bias, unfair treatment, and exclusion of others.Without justice, Nigeria and Nigerians will never know peace, progress and prosperity.
Without justice, forget about one Nigeria.It is the blatant injustices alienation, exclusion, discrimination, marginalization, suppression oppression that fuel the agitation for Oduduwa Republic and Biafra.
With the Fulani obduracy to cling to power at all cost & philosophy that is opposed to revolution, reformation, or modernity, the break-up of Nigeria is imminent and unstoppable!
