Soldier go soldier come.

Ipob are only terrorist group in Nigeria not in the world, I laugh in fulfude

Otuegbe:
Soldier go soldier come.

No sir, northener go northerner come.

Thats good.I told Igbos miscreants who were celebrating the death of COAS that they were wasting their time because Buhari will never appoint an ipobian as COAS..More misery awaits ipob terrorists.

Aboki go Aboki come, till the indigenous people get sense

When only one region is always highly favoured.


Congratulations anyway.

Malami appoints should be the right quoting here

..So you were expecting him to appoint an ipob terrorist?

Nepotism has finished Buhari

Another burnt offering loading. . .


Unless he lives right and don't go about spilling innocent blood

Northern agenda....

Obviously the southern Generals involved in the crashed were all removed to get their agenda achieved..

..So you were expecting him to appoint an ipob terrorist?

No I wasn't.
...but is bubu himself not a terrorist?

Appointment without screening. Welcome to federal republic of northgeria

A solid soldier whom I know personally

Someone different from the person expected is probably calling the shot in this country at the moment.

Welcome on board the new COAS.

RIP the late COAS.

That office isn't yours forever, if you die today, thousands are on the queue to replace you the next moment. Take everything easy but strive for the best.
Lesson well learnt

LibertyRep:

Are you just knowing that now?

richiemcgold:

..No he is not.the proscribed terrorists are Boko haram and Igbos.

Congratulations anyway.

2 from the south and 2 from North out of the 4 service CHIEFS then what do u want again?
Ungrateful selfish people!

One important thing is, in the North no zone will come out and protest non-inlcusion unlike when Yoruba is appointed some group will come out and say he's not their own.
This one is neither Hausa nor Fulani but we're content with it!

When it suits IPOB, they want middle belt to be included in their phantom Biafra country but when a Middle belter is appointed to a high office, it is northerner go northerner come.

No one is indispensable. People need to keep this at the back of their minds.

Represent themselves.
