Who told youhuh

As time goes on, he will. He doesnt want to appear to be ambitious especially as PMB can still be consulted by his loyalists/appointees from time to time despite his health condition.

Osinbajo is already somewhere...the presidency...

If you are not pleased with it, go and ...
He was not even invited to the NDA passing ceremony.

Buruntai ignored him and invited El Rufai to lay the foundation for a new military garrison in Southern Kaduna.

The COAS consults regularly and takes orders from El Rufai over the security situation in Southern Kaduna (a clear violation of the constitution which gives the president sole powers and control over the military)

Even to comment on the plight of Christians in Southern Kaduna, your hapless manservant cum mere commissioner is too afraid to voice out.

El Rufai is the real acting president as what we can see so far and not Osunbade.

I have checked and the books tell me that Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe and Dim. Ojukwu were the problems. They left evil legacy of lies behind.
Is that what your Muslim convert father told you?

Your ancestors due to their inability to defend themselves from the marauding Fulani jihadist, converted to Islam on the threat of death.

Today that legacy of cowardice is why you afonjas keep being more northern than a northerner and wishing every other non Muslim down south to follow your cowardice path in worshipping the north.

An Ag.President is more or less a president. There is no stopping him at this juncture unless PMB returns to the country hale and hearty. Even PMB cant remove him as Ag.President from where he is.

You loooonatics from the yEast aka yEasterners will die of sheer envy and jealousy if care is not taken. grin grin grin
An agPresident cannot tamper with the security apparatus in the country neither can he order the military.

Have you seen Osunbade getting security briefings from Buruntai?

Yes Gej meets constitutional requirement same as Buhari that east are crying for marginalization.
Don't be funny


This is the worst administration since 1984 in terms of adopting true federalism.

Buhari has made good his pledge to ostrasize not only the SE but the SS as well.

Amaechi's appointment was not based on regional considerations but because of his contribution to Buhari's Presidential campaign

No sir tell yourself the truth. SW is marginalized despite their support. Without their vote, GEJ might lose the election.

But what do they get in return?

President - SS
V.President - NW
Senete President - NC
Speaker - NW
Chief Justice - NW
Gov of central Bank - NW

Minister For Petroleum - SS
Minister of finance - SS
Minister of education - NW
Cheif of defence staff - NE
I.G of police - NW and NE



They support Gej but he push them away.
The speaker position was zoned to them until the Yoruba Muslims controlled by Tinubu supported Tambuwal over Patricia Etteh.

And you know the list of ministers you presented plus political appointees is incomplete.

Jonathan met all constitutional requirements in attaining true federalism in all his appointments.

Maybe you ought to say their greed for juicy positions was not met or Tinubu's goons were not appointed.

A young girl found a young snake lying. Frozen in the snow

She took it home with her, warmed it by the fire place and placed it on her bosom

The snake after being revived suddenly struck the girl.

The girl wrenching from pain looked at the snake and asked why? The snake replied "I couldn't help it for I am a snake".

Ingrates will remain Ingrates.

With a buoying economy under GEJ the same SW benefited mostly from economic activity to the point that Lagos was ranked as one of the top economies in Africa.

GEJ complied with both quota system and true federalism so what is their problem?

What I know in life is that the more you help some people the more they end up hating and resenting you. Case in point the north and sw under GEJ.

Now that they are in power how is their general condition?

When hate and envy envelope your judgement you end up shooting yourself on the foot.

[s]Your comment reeks of ethnic bigotry against the southwest, in 2011 when South west voted heavily for Goodluck Jonathan they were not the problem of the south? out of 6 states, he won 5 with wide margins. Most of us here voted during the last election with a plain mind that this country needed a change in government. it is saddening to see people defending Jonathan'a government that almost brought this country to its kneels with embezzlement perhaps because your kinsmen were the pillars of his government. History will repeat itself come 2019, the same faults and shortcomings of the last administration are evidently being displayed by this present government. Mark my words and If Buhari doesn't loose heavily in Southwest.

Nigeria presently have two set of people constituting problems
1. Those who are still of the mistaken belief that GEJ government meant well for the country (ethnicity is a major factor here)
2 Those singing praises to the present government in face of glaring failures ( ethnicity and religious sentiments) .

Yorubas are the problem - Amir Sanusi
In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude.

The Yoruba elite and area-boy politics;
Igbo marginalisation and the responsible limits of retribution; and
The Yoruba Factor and "Area-boy" Politics.

My views on the Yoruba political leadership have been thoroughly articulated in some of my writings, prime among which was " Afenifere: Syllabus of Errors" published by This Day (The Sunday Newspaper) on Sept 27, 1998. There was also an earlier publication in the weekly Trust entitled " The Igbo, the Yoruba and History" (Aug. 21, 1998).

In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude.

The Yoruba elite were the first, in 1962, to attempt a violent overthrow of an elected government in this country. In 1966, it was the violence in the West which provided an avenue for the putsch of 15th January. After Chief Awolowo lost to Shagari in 1983 elections, it was the discontent and bad publicity in the South-West which led to the Buhari intervention.

When Buhari jailed UPN governors like Ige and Onabanjo, the South-Western press castigated that good government and provided the right mood for IBB to take over power. As soon as IBB cleared UPN governors of charges against them in a politically motivated retrial, he became the darling of the South-West. When IBB annulled the primaries in which Adamu Ciroma and Shehu Yar Adua emerged as presidential candidates in the NRC and SDP, he was hailed by the South-West. When the same man annulled the June 12, 1993 elections in which Abiola was the front-runner, the South-West now became defenders of democracy.

When it seemed Sani Abacha was sympathetic to Abiola, the South-West supported his take-over. He was in fact invited by a prominent NADECO member to take over in a published letter shortly before the event. Even though Abiola had won the elections in the North, the North was blamed for its annulment. When Abdulsalam Abubakar started his transition, the Yoruba political leadership through NADECO presented a memorandum on a Government of National Unity that showed complete disrespect for the intelligence and liberties of other Nigerians.

Subsequently, they formed a tribal party which failed to meet minimum requirements for registration, but was registered all the same to avoid the violence that was bound to follow non-registration, given the area-boy mentality of South-West politicians. Having rejected an Obasanjo candidacy and challenged the election as a fraud in court, we now find a leading member of the AD in the government, a daughter of an Afenifere leader as Minister of State, and Awolowo´s daughter as Ambassador, all appointed by a man who won the election through fraud.

Meanwhile, nothing has been negotiated for the children of Abiola, the focus of Yoruba political activity. In return for these favours, the AD solidly voted for Evan Enwerem as Senate President. This is a man who participated in the two-million- man March for Abacha´s self-succession. He also is reputed to have hosted a meeting of governors during IBB´s transition, demanding that June 12 elections should never be de-annulled and threatening that the East would go to war if this was done. When Ibrahim Salisu Buhari was accused of swearing to a false affidavit, the Yoruba political elite correctly took up the gauntlet for his resignation.

When an AD governor, Bola Tinubu, swears to a false affidavit that he attended an Ivy League University which he did not attend, we hear excuses.

For so many years, the Yoruba have inundated this country with stories of being marginalised and of a civil service dominated by northerners through quota system. The Federal Character Commission has recently released a report which shows that the South-West accounts for 27.8% of civil servants in the range GL08 to GL14 and a full 29.5% of GL 15 and above. One zone out of six zones controls a full 30% of the civil service leaving the other five zones to share the remaining 70%. We find the same story in the economy, in academia, in parastatals.

Yet in spite of being so dominant, the Yoruba complained and complained of marginalization. Of recent, in recognition of the trauma which hit the South-West after June 12, the rest of the country forced everyone out of the race to ensure that a South-Westerner emerged, often against the best advice of political activists.

Instead of leading a path of reconciliation and strong appreciation, the Yoruba have embarked on short-sighted triumphalism, threatening other "nationalities" that they ( who after all lost the election) will protect Obasanjo ( who was forced on them). No less a person than Bola Ige has made such utterances.

To further show that they were in charge, they led a cult into the Hausa area of Sagamu, murdered a Hausa woman and nothing happened. In the violence that followed, they killed several Hausa residents, with Yoruba leaders like Segun Osoba, reminding Nigerians of the need to respect the culture of their host communities. This would have continued were it not for the people of Kano who showed that they could also create their own Oro who would only be appeased through the shedding of innocent Yoruba blood.
I say all this, to support Balarabe Musa´s statement, that the greatest problem to nation-building in Nigeria are the Yoruba Bourgeoisie. I say this also to underscore my point that until they change this attitude, no conference can solve the problems of Nigeria. We cannot move forward if the leadership of one of the largest ethnic groups continues to operate, not like statesmen, but like common area boys.
iii.The Igbo Factor and the Reasonable Limits of Retribution.

The Igbo people of Nigeria have made a mark in the history of this nation. They led the first successful military coup which eliminated the Military and Political leaders of other regions while letting off Igbo leaders. Nwafor Orizu, then Senate President, in consultation with President Azikiwe, subverted the constitution and handed over power to Aguiyi-Ironsi. Subsequent developments, including attempts at humiliating other peoples, led to the counter-coup and later the civil war. The Igbos themselves must acknowledge that they have a large part of the blame for shattering the unity of this country.
Having said that, this nation must realise that Igbos have more than paid for their foolishness. They have been defeated in war, rendered paupers by monetary policy fiat, their properties declared abandoned and confiscated, kept out of strategic public sector appointments and deprived of public services. The rest of the country forced them to remain in Nigeria and has continued to deny them equity.
The Northern Bourgeoisie and the Yoruba Bourgeoisie have conspired to keep the Igbo out of the scheme of things. In the recent transition when the Igbo solidly supported the PDP in the hope of an Ekwueme presidency, the North and South-West treated this as a Biafra agenda. Every rule set for the primaries, every gentleman´s agreement was set aside to ensure that Obasanjo, not Ekwueme emerged as the candidate. Things went as far as getting the Federal Government to hurriedly gazette a pardon. Now, with this government, the marginalistion of the Igbo is more complete than ever before. The Igbos have taken all these quietly because, they reason, they brought it upon themselves. But the nation is sitting on a time-bomb.
After the First World War, the victors treated Germany with the same contempt Nigeria is treating Igbos. Two decades later, there was a Second World War, far costlier than the first. Germany was again defeated, but this time, they won a more honourable peace. Our present political leaders have no sense of History. There is a new Igbo man, who was not born in 1966 and neither knows nor cares about Nzeogwu and Ojukwu. There are Igbo men on the street who were never Biafrans. They were born Nigerians, are Nigerians, but suffer because of actions of earlier generations. They will soon decide that it is better to fight their own war, and may be find an honourable peace, than to remain in this contemptible state in perpetuity.

The Northern Bourgeoisie and the Yoruba Bourgeoisie have exacted their pound of flesh from the Igbos. For one Sardauna, one Tafawa Balewa, one Akintola and one Okotie-Eboh, hundreds of thousands have died and suffered.

If this issue is not addressed immediately, no conference will solve Nigeria´s problems. By Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.

Personally, I dont believe that a Yoruba man will ever become president of Nigeria again. It just so happens that Obasunjo was (and is) the only Yoruba man the Northerners and Easterners could contemplate trusting.
For where? Which useless manservant are you talking of?

Osunbade can never smell the office of the President in the wake of a Buhari demise.

You think the SS/SE have forgotten so soon the betrayal of the yorubas on the entire south to forge ahead in an ungodly alliance with the north?

Or do you think 8yrs of sustained jihad by the north will simply be washed away to allow a kafuri pastor to be their president? Jonathan attending church service alone was enough to fuel their hatred talk more of a confirmed evangelist pastor as president?

Or have you forgotten why Patricia Etteh was opposed by the north with full backing from their afonjastic Yoruba Muslims in the house of reps?

An Osunbade Presidency in the event of an official announcement of Buhari's demise will make boko haram under GEJ look like boys scouts.

I personally will never accept Osunbade because being a confirmed coward backed only be fellow cowards I don't see him achieving one of a millionth of what GEJ achieved despite all Northern opposition to make his administration ineffective and the polity ungovernable.

APCHaram:
Buhari's corrupt legacy as minister of petroluem

Despite its relative autonomy in those early years, NNPC was hopelessly inept. In the wake of allegations of massive fraud, including an improper withdrawal of more than $4b from the corporation’s accounts in the late 1970s, the newly elected President Shehu Shagari (1979-83) in March 1980 instituted a tribunal to probe allegations.

NNPC’s oversight and regulatory role over the industry was virtually non-existent, due to a combination of low capacity, sheer inaction, and simply a proclivity of the corporation to break the law.

Agreements with IOCs lay around for years without ratification, and the IOCs often acted as if the corporation never existed.

NNPC’s accounting system was an unmitigated shambles; the corporation had never prepared and submitted audited accounts.

The industry under NNPC up to 1980 was so dismal that the tribunal— even with its full judicial powers to subpoena witnesses and information —could not reconcile crude oil production and sales figures from the various arms of government

The panel recommended the pruning of the power of NNPC and the streamlining of its operation for increased efficiency.

The limitation of the panel is underlined by the tribunal’s failure to summon Generals Obasanjo and Muhammadu Buhari, who as national ruler, and oil minister NNPC chairman respectively “supervised the NNPC and controlled oil sales during the period in question.
