My highly confidential informant told be the President himself has a lion share of the slots. So stop saying presidency as if it's a collection of top govt officials. Funny enough, that guy call elbangee abi what is already a DPR staff. I was mistaking that hypocrite to be marvel all these while. Well, it's good people learn lessons, and learn the hard way, if not. We will never grow

What she's implying is that there is little or no merit in the real sense. The list is also dominated by SHs.

Let's even talk about political offices and appointments and keep employment to the side. Going by the lope-sided and nepotism-laden government of Buhari as regards dishing out 'key' political appointments, then you have absolutely nothing to say about how Federal Character benefits everyone. Don't contradict yourself.

Going back to employment. As long as its a Federal Government recruitment, the Federal Character system favours you northerners, whether you sabi book or not. Let me take you back in history, take the military for example...have you ever asked yourself why its Hausa people and northerners that are the most populous extraction in the army? Okay good.

And yes, I wont mince words to say when it comes to cut-off marks for any form of recruitment, the scores are lowered to favour the north. This is a fact and I stand by it. Sorry, not sorry.

Gec8:


What hatred do you speak of biko? I dont get. As far as Federal Character is concerned, and how the north tends to benefit more from it - then this is pure facts.
