Ikechukwus in GEJ government were the cream of the crop. If you think i am wrong, then prove me wrong.
Even in the difficult power sector, Barth Nnaji in his short term was more effective than whatever buhari has now. He is an accomplished american robotics Engineer, btw.
And It seems you have a problem with comprehension. I did not say every adamu is incompetent. Ofcourse, there are brilliant people everywhere.
But there is no way, the majority adamu's northern region holds in government is right. Over 80% of the people in buhari's and GEJ's government are adamus.
It definitely does not tally with their educationally disadvantaged status. Aversion to western education is very rife in adamu's region yet they control our government.
How can that be good? How will Nigeria develop with such madness? That is my argument.
There are brilliant people everywhere, but sorry without being politically correct, the number of people fitted for technical government service should be skewed in the favour of the south, atleast for now. It is not my fault, it is decades of educational head-start that the south has on the north.
If you can't see that, then you are not as smart as you think you are.
I don't have time for political correctness. Nigeria is too backward for me to be politically correct.
The white man that selected the super-eagles chose most of them from igboland and other parts of the south because more of them can be found at the highest level. He has no time for sentiments.
How many northerners can you find at the highest level of scientific and economic discourse? These northerners barely leave the country.
Incase, you don't understand my post, ask someone to explain it for you before you start making arguments i didn't make.

like Alison madueke right?

igwebuike01:
You people should stop this, without kanu's radical approach nobody will call you to negotiation table. He sacrificed and refused to compromise, we should be thanking him for increasing the tempo with his non violent but very aggressive approach which has left the authorities in confusion on how to deal with him

yes the radical approach can include protests and rallies without disrespect for other ethnic nationalities. I listened to KANU live on radio issuing threats against Yoruba and Hausa. that is what is wrong about Hus approach

NaijaMutant:
Just shut up and let those with useful opinion on the matter have a say.

Yes referendum is in the hands of Nigeria, but international groups/organisations can help as pressure groups through covert pressure on the government and negotiation and also funding some covert activities/operations. Again the awareness is going viral and incase of an eventuality from the Nigerian government on Biafra, the world will come for Nigeria. This is how the restoration of the state of Israel started. you one Nigerians are still denying the reality, by the time Biafra will come, it will be like a dream and will be too late for you guys.

The igbos of today are more advanced, civilized and connected. It can be seen how they have been dealing with the Nigerian government in a more intelligent manner. I doubt any other tribe in Nigeria can rally around together to form a formidable force like the igbos are doing. The igbos may not have Military power at the moment, but they have soft power due to their spread round the world and they are using it to the fullest.

Nigeria is still living in the past, thinking with war and arms, they can suppress the igbos. They are hoping to repeat 1967 in igbo land to turn igboland to another syria, but they forget that the world has moved past that and igbos of today are far more intelligent than they think and very sophisticated.

1967 is not 2017..

through Diplomatic means not the way KANU is doing it.

desquad:
you should go to international human rights headquarters in Washington DC and tell them na,

I'm not in support of killing unarmed protesters but the west can't decide our faith for us. we are a country of 200m people. the humanitarian crisis will overwhelm Africa!!!

kettykin:
did the same Nigerian senate move the motion for the handing over of bakassi to cameroon ? somehow , i believe if not handled properly , Biafra will cut Nigeria to size , the emergence of Biafra will mean the end of the giant of Africa.

lmao keep deceiving yourself. I want Biafra to go. let your senators move the motion. Kanus way is not the right way

MeanChris:
I'm not sure we'd want to be in enmity with the west

lol you must be a kid if you think the west will support the break up of this country without vtheir own selfish agenda

etebefia:
Yoruba people and war, please Mr young soldier who is talking about war here? Have you not heard of the word "referendum"?

and the way to get referendum is to heat up the polity and make enemies from other ethnic groups?

smh the SE should face the northerners and leave the southwest.

the southwest is for peaceful coexistence. our sole aim now is to attract investors to our peaceful environment and accommodate peaceful people. we are not rabid dogs

PDP Afenifere...The Same group that adopted Jonathan, as presidential Candidate in 2015

Gbam!!!

afenifere is always making the mistake of trying to speak for all yorubas without proper consultation. same mistake they made in 2015 when they promised Jonathan Yoruba votes.

clowns

fools pls start again. we'll all suffer the consequences together

EmekaMD:
if u hate to read that u cannot read beyond a page but then u want to make a generalized opinion then I have no point making a case with u.

So again I disagree with Buhari because he doesn't believe in meritocrasy.
And don't tell me I shouldn't question him because his actions and inactions affects me as well as every other Nigerian

you are the one making generalised argument but concluding southerners will always be better than northerners in any position.

why not start out by telling us how those appointed have failed then we can both call for their resignation instead if playing the ethnic card

[quote author=okenwaa post=60091874][/quote]coming from someone that can't put forward an argument to counter my points. next time you call me fool I'll call the mods.

I'm entitled to my opinion. if you don't like what I said then either argue reasonably or shut up
kid

EmekaMD:
this is the point of my argument with u..
Nigeria is the way it is because any nation that refuses to use its first eleven but insist on pushing mediocrity forward shall remain underdeveloped..

Igbo States have the highest cut off points for any level of education beginning from Primary Schools to University level.

In addition, Igbos have the highest number of graduates, Masters degree holders, Doctorate degree holders and also the highest number of professors. Literacy in Igboland is above 90%, peaking in Imo state with 96.4%.

Despite, these intimidating characteristics, Igbos are rarely found in positions of authority to turnaround Nigeria..

Igbos dominate list of Nigeria businessmen and industrialists. Igbos have 80% of registered businesses in Nigeria Corporate Affairs Commission yet Igbo opinions are not sought on improving Nigeria economy as it plummets to all time low.

The only area where Nigerians often get it right is football. because of our foreign coaches meritocracy rides above mediocrity.

In the atmosphere that there are over 10,000 Nigeria internationals with about 80% of them as Igbo, it is natural that first team shirts go to mostly Igbo footballers. This policy of excellence has pivoted the Super Eagles to leadership position in Africa and admirable position in the world. Nigeria is made proud by great Igbo Footballers like Jay Jay Okocha, Kanu Nwankwo, Sunday Ogochukwu Oliseh, Christian Chukwu, Emmanuel Okala, Iheanacho, Mikel Obi to name a few.

The Igbo excellence was once again expressed when an Igbo dominated Super Eagles beat Cameroun 4-0 to the joy of all Nigerians at the US Stadium.

It is widely known, that if Igbos are courted in other areas of Nigeria life especially leadership and decision taking that Nigeria shall be pivoted to positions of international pride and acclaim. Many say that the Igbos are capable of reversing the debilitating effects of imperialism and restoring the lost glory of Africa.

Will Nigeria and indeed Africa clinch to the Igbo fast - track of national /continental development or should we continue in our negligence of the black Jews of the world?

Victor Wilberforce
is a critical thinker and a social engineer.

Imagine if the super eagles had jettisoned their first and most qualified eleven (in crucial match )and then come back after they've been beaten mercilessly to started telling us that we've all failed, when infact they deliberately refused to give the chance to the people who has the pedigree to do it.

I stopped reading the moment you started talking about Igbo states and cut off points. there are at most 10 northers in NNPC executives. you wan to tell me all those northerners are not qualified? as long as they are qualified let's forget tribal sentiments and allow things play out first. if they fail in their line of duty then we can call for their removal. the DSS was dominated by southerners under GEJ yet no one cried blue murder except when APC data centers were raided. stop the tribal hate

cstr1000:
Given the fact that adamu has been in charge of your country since decades, it is a fuccking shit-show.
Adamu comes from a region where western education is still seen as a pariah, yet government agencies is filled with the likes of adamu and his people.
How do you reconcile that?
The old NNPC boss under GEJ was also a northerner and we all know how he looted to stupor.
Jonathan appointments were lopsided against the SW a bit. The north still had the far majority because they always do and they wrecked that government.
Take a look at Dora Akunyili and Ngozi Okonji Iweala. These are highly educated people that made impact. Among the best in their fields.
Aside from Jelani Aliyu who has not done anything as of yet, give me a northern equivalent of these brilliant amazons in any sector of buhari's government.

a lot of ikechukwus were in charge under Jonathan and NNPC failed to remit billions of dollars in oil revenue.

so you are so shallow minded you believe there are good hands and managers from your own side of the country but every appointed adamu must be incompetent. can't believe I'm arguing with someone that can't out 2 and 2 together

Name any hausa player(s) in any top/reasonable/foreign team(s) that deserve (in form) to be invite that was not invited?
.
If keshi and oliseh (both frm south south) did dat, then they have been justified by the past and present foriegn coaches (gernot rohr and clement westanhof, bonfere jo) selection of majority southern players that they are far better than their northern counter parts.
.
.
Nigeria constitution/laws made provision for federal character in political appointments bt their is nothing lyk dat in football law.
U can insert that if u dont mind.
.
Nice precedent being set by buhari

oga stop fooling yourself. since the best made t to the eagles squad without federal character then let us remove federal character and let presidents work with whole ever they are comfortable with. that's my point. you should understand that if you have a working brain.

yes ministers should be appointed with federal character but when it comes to aides and executives of agencies then let us forget about federal character

DabuIIIT:
just like a complete big one like U..

Jolar101:
Because northerners were dominated in eagles and sports minister.

liar. the ibos have dominated the eagles since we won the nations cup not northerners

cstr1000:
You are being smart by half.
The people in football are the best we have. They play at relatively highest level for Nigerians currently in football. Ignoring federal character is the obvious move here to maximize our best pool.
On the other hand,You can't tell me that the people in buhari's government are the best we have given the fact that the regions majorly represented are more or less educationally disadvantaged.
The people buhari trusts are not the most educated, the most technical or an authority in their fields.
Their only selling point is that they are northerners.
Infact, i take it back- you are not smart at all.

you are the one being clever by half. are the current NNPC executives not doing OK? what gives you the impression an Okechukwu would have done better if he was appointed instead of the adamu? my point is let each person/handler work with the people he's comfortable with. both the NNPC and the DSS were dominated by SE/SS under Jonathan. Jonathan's appointments were also lopsided and no one cried blue murder.

mekyno777:
Remember the selection of players which is mostly southerns was done by a white man (even if it is a local coach) that don't know abt tribals so it is on merit and they delivered as well.
But buhari's tribalism has not delivered/helped matters. I wont mind if i am seeing result bt the whole thing/madness is going over board.
If u support buhari's appointment, then don't complain when a southern president comes in and appoints only his own people.
I knw north will not only complain, the will do unprintable things.
Time will tell

burnit wasn't tribal when it was done by keshi and oliseh right? maybe if keshi and oliseh used federal character then other regions will have players good enough for the eagles now.

what gives you the impression NNPC and DSS officials are not qualified right now? when both agencies were dominated by southerners under GEJ did you cry blue murder?

EmekaMD:
that's not the point u brainless child!!

The point here is that Buhari is known to favor his people even though most of his appointments have proven to be unqualified.

The case of super eagles is this , yes I agree most of them are from the SE but are they the most qualified (at least by the judgement of the coach and the Nigerian people)?. The answer is yes!!

So u see.. people like me do not blame Buhari because his appointments are from the North, I blame him cos it's obvious those people he chose are the least qualified (it's evident in the performances of his administration).

Then why can't he give the chance to the people who can deliver? Is he sacrificing merit on the altar of nepotism? The answer is yes!!

If President Buharis Northern filled administration can do half of what the super eagles southeasteners filled has done then I'd not be here arguing with u.

I'm very much against the federal character thing (or call it quota system) but you have to vindicate ur choices with ur performances.

you are the brainless child. must insult before you pass your points across? the eagles were selected based on merit and they performed. at least 5 of the starting 11 are from the SE and only 1 is from the north. why can't the same principle be applied to NNPC? the NNPC is doing OK without the federal character principle. if you believe keshi and the foreign coach selected the ibo dominated eagles based on merit without federal character why can't the same logic be applied to NNPC and DSS?

get a life please and don't insult before you spew your jaundiced opinion next time

Jolar101:
They are performing in stealing and sharing our oil money.

Can you lists their performance and impacts?

For debates purpose.

and the ibo dominated eagles that didn't qualify for the last nations cup is performing?
