Your crass generalization negates the education and advancement you allude to.

And you didn't also generalize when you said Southerners were their own alatross like Northerners didn't also go after the other. Or you didn't hear about the feud between Bala Mohammed and Isa Yuguda which nearly led to the former's recall from the Senate untill he was granted a lifeline by GEJ: you also didn't hear how Buhari sentenced Abubakar Rimi and Bakin Zuwo to hundreds of years behind bars?

friends and colleagues from every part of the nation and some of my best friends are not even from my side of the country.

However, recent events are making me to have a deeper reflection and I wish we- Southerners in this instance- can have some kind of introspection. Out of 25 appointments made so far, 18 are from the North, 3 are from the South West, 4 are from the South South while the South East has ZERO appointments. A tweet which I saw today stated that “southerners are only competent when it’s time for elections but northerners are competent in terms of governance” and this made the following thoughts run through my mind:

1. Only Southerners have been accusing fellow Southerners of corruption. Oshiomole has been attacking Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as if Ngozi turned down his marriage proposal. The same Oshiomole tried to make nonsense of Akinwumi Adeshina’s successes in the agriculture sector. Ambode tried to pull Fashola down and successfully smeared him with stains. Maybe that’s why Fashola did not get the Chief of Staff role. I’m yet to see a Northerner accuse another Northerner of corruption, even when they belong to different parties. The closest a Northerner got was when the new Kano State Governor attacked Rabiu Kwankaso but he quickly sheathed his sword and even disowned previous reports of attacks. Why are we like this?

2. Are Southerners the only ones who are corrupt? Were there no northerner heading the ministries and parastatals? Did the outgone Comptroller-General of Customs, Abdullahi Dikko not have an alleged case of certificate forgery but he still served out his tenure until he resigned voluntarily? I’m not in support of corruption under any guise but the fight against corruption must not be seen to be sectional.

3. How come it’s easier for the President to believe that Sanni Abacha was not corrupt in spite of recovered loot while it is so easy for him to believe Goodluck Jonathan is irredeemably corrupt?

4. I still remember that aside from God, Tinubu made Tambuwal what he is today. The same Tambuwal would later call Femi Gbajabiamila ‘incompetent’ and rated Dogara as more competent. The same Tambuwal was propped up by Tinubu, a Southerner against a fellow Southerner, Mulikat Akande. Obasanjo was very key to denying Goodluck Jonathan a second term. A good number can still recall how OBJ tore his PDP membership card in public glare. The Northerners find it easy to support themselves but we are always pulling ourselves down. Babangida Aliyu, Sule Lamido and all the other Northern Governors including the former PDP Chairman Adamu Muazu often times refused to campaign for Goodluck Jonathan openly and many times even espoused the virtues of the opposing candidate on the rostrum!

5. Southern leaders and Presidents pull down Southern business men but prop up Northern ones. How many people still remember how Obasanjo ran Mike Adenuga out of town but both Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan made Aliko Dangote what he is today. No northern leader goes against their own. I dare to put it on record that President Buhari will never go against Aliko Dangote for any reason.

6. How come OBJ pardoned Salisu Buhari, the ex-Speaker who forged his credentials and he later was given an appointment as a Governing Council member of a University and heavens did not fall- but when Goodluck Jonathan pardoned Alamieyeseigha it became one of the major issues counted against him? Is there one rule for some and another rule for others?

7. We find it easy to raise our voices in support of the deportation of Buruji Kashamu but have no qualms with Atiku Abubakar strutting around the corridors of power.

8. Only Southerners find it so easy to abuse their elders when they voice opinions not in tandem with the popular opinion. We find it easy to diss Afenifere elders and call them ‘Afenifebi’ while hurling expletives and curses at them. We even abuse our kings and priests. Northerners will never abuse an Emir no matter how unpopular what he said is. Can you imagine any Northerner raising his voice against the Sultan? In spite of Tanko Yakassai, Balarabe Musa and Dangiwa Umar’s perceived support for Jonathan, northern youths did not abuse them. But our own youths run down our elders on social media while our educated elite also support the act.

These are some of the thoughts that have been running through my mind. I don’t pretend to have all the answers and I do this at the risk of being labelled an ethnic bigot. The point however is that Southerners have to get their acts right. We have to put our house in order. The bickering must stop. Let’s engage our emotional intelligence. Let’s not allow others to exploit our tendency to self-destruct.

The South is educated and well advanced in their thought process so no basis for comparison here. It would be plain silly to try to compare a technology driven people to a bunch of religious book memorising jihadists who say western education haram.

100 days of I will..soon...bigotry denial of campaign promises...government of holy saint Northerners ....WHEN EVER WE OPPOSE MEDIOCRATIC BEHAVIOUR OR RESPONSES THEY TAG US WAILERS....NOW I HAVE GAT A NAME OR BETTER STILL A BEFITTING TITLE FOR THEM...BUHARI CRIERS ....WE KEEP ON WAILING....THEY KEEP ON CRYING IN DEFENCE....THEY ARE CRYING CRYERS ....

Crying Cryers feel free to quote me ..my body language will reply u

I call them the gloating gloaters. Suffering yet smiling as ever like they in a haste to wish away the mediocrity that is so glaring for all to see. Its disingenousness at its best form.

Oya gloaters, food is ready. Come and gloat.

What did you complain about and how valuable are your skills in that office? I'm asking this because there is a chance of him accepting you back if you're not that easily dispensable.

My boss once fired me for dissent but I went back and begged for mercy and was reabsorbed into the system because I had vital skills and other workers also pleaded on my behalf. I was a bit heady then but now I can see the folly of my ways.

You might want to go back and ask for forgiveness and promise not to rebel any further as this might soften his/her heart.

The economy of this country is in ruins at the mo and the last place anyone wants to be is at home unemployed. Even employers aren't finding it funny which might explain the seeming injustice you complained about. You just have to walk in their shoes for a while to get a clearer picture.

Try to do something quickly as you have bills to pay and you do not want to become a burden to anyone. Goodluck.

Northocracy:
Total Northernization is the way! Nigeria must have a similar ideology, Nigeria must speak with one voice, Nigeria must be homogenous, Nigeria must be Northernize! Northernization is not equal to Islamization, Northernization is not equal to Hausa-Fulani. Northernization is for anyone, Any tribes, Everyone who wants to cooperate with the strongest power in Africa, It is for those who seek to cooperate with both the West(Britain/America) and the Middle East powers(Saudi Arabia/Iran). You can't win against Northernization, Rather than fighting against it fight for your stake and benefit in it. Just like what the Western powers are doing in the Iranian deal, and what Black Americans did in America. There are tired of fighting against it, they rather seek to benefit from it.

Last I checked, the money being used to look after your almajiri and Boko Haram infested North comes straigit from the South and I expect you to be grateful for that and not come here flap your maggot infested labia majora.


Besides, your just making stuffs up without facts. Pleb.

Arrant nonsense, figures without facts,show us the house or keep mute.

Are you trilled being ignorant or you are too lazy to look up Oshiomhole's multi billion naira Texas styled ranch in his home town of Iyamoh, wich has been widely reported, including here on nairaland and admitted by his personal aide?

See who is talking, a criminal who pockets well over N500 million monthly for urgent security challenges despite there being no evidence that he gives anything close to N20 million to the Edo State police command. Can Oshiomhole explain what he's been spending this money on and what exactly are these security challenges?

How will Oshiomhole explain that he built a mansion worth close to N10 billion as his pesonal residence when his salary as Governor and Labour leader is nowhere near this superflous expenditure?

Oshiohole is merely trying to distract attention from the fact that he is a thief who has been pocketing the money of Edo people in the last seven years with nothing on ground to show for it, bar his personal edifice and the dissapering businesses like The Observer newspaper, Edo breweries and other businesses owned by Edo people.

His former media spokesman, Eric Osagie who is now the MD of the Sun Newspaper wasted no time in dumping his sorry a*se way back in 2009 when he saw beneath the facade of the lies that propelled this so called defender of the masses to limelight.

As is the case now with Oshiomhole's , the dimunitive psychophant believes in his heart that his words of flattery will be enough to fetch him his heart desires which is a safe landding after all the atrocities he has committed against his people.
Oshiomhole hopes he would get a berth by weeping the loudest as he is currently doing not minding that the people are keeping tabs and waiting to seize him by the jugular when his time is up.

And I have no doubt that the good people of Edo State will leave no stone unturned in ensuring that this runt is made to account for all of his misdeamenors in the last seven years that he has been Governor of Edo State.

Hmmm. Tinubu finally getting his wish.

And Yerima, the self confessed paedophile is still walking the streets free. HmmM! Ye ye de smell for this zoo walahi.

A lizard has never been known to give birth to a snake, so the parents need to check themselves for signs of where this is coming from.

And as for the thiefing little boy that is their child, well they just have to live with it because it is who he is- a thief.

I could recall that way back in the 80s, families would usually investigate the other for signs of the thiefing DNA before marriages were conducted. Sadly, this is no longer the case nowadays and that is why we are having to discuss this issue.

I have a cousin who does all of the depicable things you can ever imagine in this life and all of the prayers, counselling and deliverance sessions have been of no tangible help. Dude is literally getting worse and its cos of folks like this that we have correctional facilities like the kirikiri and kuje prisons. They are a major threat to the society and need to be locked away for the good of all.

However, if the parents are certain the stealing habit isn't from either of them which I very much doubt, then the child needs to be told in the clearest of terms the fate that awaits him if he were to persist in his ignoble ways

The wife needs to ditch whatever deodrant she is currently using and switch to baking soda and white vinegar as a matter of urgency.

The boy still de speak plenty girama self.....U sure say this pix no be photoshop.

For the Lord is in His heavenly place. Now let the earth be silent before him.

The way I see it is the early birds got all the worms and that explains their protruding abdomen....As for the late ones, they can can go after Boko Haram and zip them in the nuts

Tinubu and his ilk will continually wear the big girlie blouse for the Almajiris because they like to lick the south end of the north bound donkey. It's in the DNA....

Good for him, but its really no skin off my back.

this thread will never make front page...... keep derailing your own thread #smart guy

Time for humble pies

Trust me when I sayI will beat them two goals hadicapped on fifa 15 and run with their money.

They may be experts in the music industry bt for where fifa dey, I swear na IT things for them.

Hope say registration fee no too high sha cos money no dey do these boys.

Modified: thought they were staging some sort of copetition for hardcore gamers crack their knuckles, only to realize they are just staking between themselves. Labish. Why bring it to the public domain. Kids of nowadays.

NUC spitting their meaningless dummy as if they are employing anybody nowadays.

You haven't given jobs to the hordes of regular students who are roaming the streets uemployed and you are here crying over online education. Talk about misplaced priorities.

And since when did employers start sending certificates of their workers to NUC for approval?

The way I see it is NUC should rather focus on sanitizing the nation's institutions of higher learning and ridding it of all unwholesome practises, rather than dissipating energy on matters it has little or no grasp about.

The road to ruin is paved with good intentions. Let us all get behind Buhari and pressure him to do the needful before he drags us further down the mud and sip our resources down the drain.

I assume this article is meant to enlighten numerous job seekers out there, but unfortunately, it has failed to hit the broad of the barn because the Op is just too grumpy and dismissive.

Needless to say it has given me something to sink my teeth into and I'll shoot it straight to let the OP understand what I mean.

For one, if you say Nigerian graduates are unemployable, are you saying there is mad rush here in Nigeria to employ graduates from other parts of the world because the ones we have are supposedly unemployable? Of course, the answer to that is a resounding no. You could say there are no jobs and as a result, the employers are looking for flimsy excuses to reject your application, ranging from the shape of your brow to the pattern of your dentition. But to make a blanket statement that Nigerian graduates are unemployable shows ignorance on your part and this idea should be discarded to trash can where it rightly belongs.

It beats my imagination that a man who calls himself the President of a country would go on record and say it is politically correct to adopt favouritism as your administrative strategy in 21st century Nigeria with all its complexities. It is either Buhari does not understand the meaning of politics or he is just plain stupid.

In fact, those defending this latest show of shame by the jihadist and sharia loving dullard need to have their head examined by a well qualified psychiatrist because this to me is beyond bigotry. It is idiocy at its best form.

The buck-toothed nitwit continues to dwadle and dither without cause, while his slaves down South gleefully swallow his lame grissles with repulsive morsels.

Now, the dumb one has added lying to his game and the imbecilic pseudo humans are still cheering him on in what is now becoming an odius spectacle. I hate liars.

The dullard and their slaves would rather prefer the status quo where a country is happy to legislate against basic human instincts of its citizens rather than allowing each region to develope at their own pace.

Its like when you put crabs in bucket. They won't stay in and they won't move out because as soon as one tries to move on, the others will pull him back in.

Nigeria is not and will never work the way it is presently structured. Just wait till Iran's oil hit the market and watch the poo go splat.

Self denial is not the name of a river in Africa. Let us discuss this after four years.

Fear Conji and live for it defies logic. And when its in its wake, not even age can stand in its way.

Oh Conji! You are everybody's flavour of the month. But when we are caught in the act, others want to wrinkle their nose and claim moral high grounds.

Conji I hail thee.

And as the rabit grazes in the grassy valley beneath the grassy hill, I say spare thy wrath thou angel of rythmic pleasure.
