I'm a die hard supporter and believer of PMB and also a northener. But I'm also a bit disturbed at least Amaechi shld have been made SGF.
There is one southerner if not well compensated by PMB then even humanity would not forgive him and that's Amaechi.
Yh he is corrupt just like every other politician in our society today but he was one of the people that made the change possible. One good turn deserves another.

The yellobars should swallow the bitter pills and let us rest. The sold our GEJ now nemesis us catching up with them. FOOLS

Wish I could ignore you sir with your language @STFU. Be mature and discuss public issues without insult. OK?
Though Google could do better in answering you since it keeps more facts than I do, your phone or laptop may have access to it, guess what? It is free of charge.
But to help you with the little I could remember during GEJ time
President South south
Senate President North
Speaker. North
Chief justice North
President Court of Appeal North
Secretary to Federal Govt South east
National Security Adviser North
Chief of staff South

The South East already knew they would be marginalised and therefore not surprised but the South West? Thank God I didn't vote and I am not surprised either but the days ahead are definetely going to be interesting. Its strange becos virtually all the key appointments has been made and all are Northerners.The South has been badly schemed out.let's call a spade a spade!

The wailing has reached APC too.
Wailing wailers are beginning to emerge from APC.

I wonder why they are suddenly beginning to wail.
Were they not the ones who gave him the presidential ticket and support?
Abeg, they should continue chanting 'Sai Baba' as they have always done.

Government of the North...Chaaaaai

koboko69:
President Muhammadu Buhari has pulled yet another surprise — filling key positions in his government outside of popular speculations.

Against permutations that the secretary to the government of the federation (SGF) would be Ogbonnaya Onu or Rotimi Amaechi, Buhari has picked a relatively unknown party man from Adamawa state.

Those who speculated that the chief of staff (CoS) was going to be Babatunde Fashola, former governor of Lagos state, or Hammed Ali, a retired colonel and former military administrator of Kaduna state, have also been shocked with the choice of Abba Kyari, former MD of UBA Plc.

How much do you know about Buhari’s new appointees?

BABACHIR LAWAL: PASTOR AND POLITICIAN

Nigeria.Lawal, from Hong LGA in Adamawa state, is an ICT engineer, PRINCE2-certified project management specialist, APMG-certified change management specialist, business analyst and a Christian theologian with specialisation in missions. He graduated from the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, in 1979 with a bachelor in engineering.

He later worked at Delta Steel Company, Aladja, NITEL and Data Sciences Limited. He set up his own ICT and telecommunications consulting firm in 1990. He is also a member of the Nigeria Computer Society, the Nigeria Society of Engineers and the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria. He is a staunch member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and was in the inauguation committee headed by Timipre Sylva.
In an interview with Daily Sun newspaper in 2014, Lawal said Boko Haram was sponsored to get sympathy for former President Goodluck Jonathan.
He said: “Boko Haram was sponsored to initially get sympathy for President Jonathan. Now, it has backfired. Let me tell you this. I am a Christian and pastor. In 2012, the campaign was that we should vote for Jonathan because he is a Christian. In the churches, nobody wanted to hear anything about a Muslim president. They did not vote for Buhari. They voted for Jonathan who is a Christian.”

ABBA KYARI: LAWYER, BANKER, SOCIOLOGIST, EX-EDITOR

Initially thought to be a possible choice for the SGF position if Onu was not picked, Kyari, from Borno state, is now saddled with organising the personal staff of the president — one of the most powerful jobs in government. His CV is not only rich but diverse: he has two first degrees — one in sociology and the other in law; he has been a banker as well as a newspaper editor.
Kyari got a BA in sociology from the University of Warwick, England, in 1980. He also holds a BA in law from the University of Cambridge, England, and was called to the Nigerian Bar in 1983. In 1984, he obtained a master’s in law from his alma-mater, the University of Cambridge.
Between 1988 and 1990, he was editor with the New Africa Holdings Limited Kaduna, publishers of Democrat newspapers. He was the Borno state commissioner for forestry and animal resources in 1990 and was secretary to the Board of African International Bank Limited, between 1990 and 1995. He attended the International Institute for Management Development at Lausanne, Switzerland, and participated in the Program for Management Development at the Harvard Business School, in 1992 and 1994 respectively.
Kyari was executive director, management services, UBA Plc and later the managing director and chief executive of the bank. He was appointed a director of Unilever Nigeria Plc in 2002. He served as honorary member of the presidential advisory council on investment in Nigeria between 2000 and 2005. He is also a director of ExxonMobil Nigeria.

Abubakar Tsav is a top Buhari ally and was on his Presidential Campaign Security Committee

It’s wrong to be sectional in choice of appointees —Tsav

Also speaking, a retired Commissioner of Police, Alhaji Abubakar Tsav said: “I see the appointments as lopsided. Nigeria is too big to have majority of the appointees from one section of the country.  We have competent people in every part of Nigeria. For that reason, he (Buhari) should spread the appointments to every part of Nigeria.

“If he  (Buhari) is looking for honest people, there are honest people in every part of Nigeria, just as we have dishonest people in every part. Most Nigerians voted for him, even those who did not vote for him are his subjects and he is bound to carry every one along.”

SeverusSnape:
I like what's going on, When we were saying it, they were taking us for granted.

Buhari IS An unrepentant bigoted illiterate and a chauvinistic cow herder, A megalomaniacal extremist.

I read comments of some people saying "As long as they will deliver, no problem". While deep inside them, they are pained by these lopsided appointments. Some of his supporters, especially those from the east and some from the West are already regretting.
Northernization of the country is in progress. Buhari is proving us right, He's as predictable as a goat kept within close range with yam.

...And please no fool should come here and start saying "they are yeebos", Because from the tweets, I see igbos, Yorubas, hausas and other tribes.

abacrested:
This is what GEJ was trying to correct but because we have more fools in this country he was voted via propaganda. Yorubas betrayed the only southern alliance that would have cured this sickness, we better live with it for another 4 years.
This is another reasons lgbos want biafra because nigeria is and will not work.

ZKOSOSO:
OP is very correct!

Quota system for them
Federal character for them
Allocation of Crude oil Blocs for them
Sharing of crude oil Money for them
Everything must be lowered for them to have their way.

South need to wake up! SW see wetin over sophistication dey cause?

Wildrage:
Before you buy the latest dummies being sold by northern hegemonist and their southern puppets concerning the lopsided appointments by the new govt of Buhari, pls ask yourself, how come the competence of Northerners only manifest in government related work or appointments? How come they never apply for Jobs in Shell, chevron, Agip etc but you see them in large numbers at NNPC and LLNG? How come you hardly here of brilliant SANs from the North, but they dominate the highest echelon of our judiciary? Why is the competence not shining through in private banks, telecommunication companies etc but only in govt parastatals? The over dependence of our northern brothers on govt patronage is the bane of their underdevelopment and the reason they fight tooth and nail to capture power at the centre. It's the reason they would never allow for regional autonomy or devolution of powers, the reason they blackmail other regions with murderous tantrums when they can't have their ways, the reason they inflate population figures and strongly oppose privatization of money guzzling corporations and parastatals however moribund they are

adeyemi2015:
I was a bit down reading the names of the new Appointees (Northerners again)!
Buhari still has my support though!

Reading from your post you have graduated into Chief of staff wailer!!!








The new Appointees should shame the Doubters and the Wailing Wailers! But truth be said, I'm still ain't happy!
PMB has my complete support and I strongly believe in him; he's gonna deliver and make us proud!!!

Dygeasy:
What qualifies an individual to own oil blocs? Does the government sell or lease out these blocs? We keep enriching a particular set of people and we talk about mass poverty level. Which way Nigeria?

ibotic:
I am ibo and from Nnewi.
I am ashamed of my ibo people.
Nigerians should forgive us for our stupidity
We are just sorry because we are jealous of Yorubas
We wish we had an origin, history and culture like them.
We must be less cowardly and brave like Yorubas who plan better.
I say no to Biafra and I know we need Nigeria more than you need us.
Please just allow us to be shouting Biafra of the Internet because we are jobless.
Nairaland is all we have and even that is owned by a Yoruba man who is nice.
We must stop Okija, ritual killings, Osu issue, fraud, fake spare-parts etc
We know without you we cannot survive that is why we run to your land
Our shame and hopelessness in the face of your superiority is terrible.
Even Ijaws are now our bosses and we have been reduced to goats.

Chukwu Abiama o.......

buygala:
Summary of the epistle ..


Nigeria's resources should be stolen equally ..... No be only northerners dem born to thief .... Other regions should be allowed to steal as well


Buhari is talking 95% votes, and this one is busy yapping about 83% of oil Wells ..... I laugh in Fulani

Teejizzle:
Igbos can't do without attaching themselves to the south south, yet frown at a Yoruba doing same. They claim their kins in delta and rivers. While I believe they have every right to do so, they should also realise that the yorubas also have the same right as we also have the itsekiri as our kins in the Niger delta. The same way we have our kins in the north.

Austin4lif:
Boko haram will be a thing of the past if the islamic preachers like Gumi continue to preach against the teachings of Boko harams. Boko haram have members all over the north, being a member does not really mean that all of them are fighters or suicide bombers. Many people down north are their sympathizers. Preaching against their ideologies will do a lot in this fight. As military warfare is very important so is psychological warfare. God bless Nigeria and our military.
