who gives a shit about the old man...

I hope he's been treating you and your family right

You can go kiss buharis asss that ain't my stress...

Buhari marginalised the yorubas and you have the strength to come yap about gejs appointments,..

Rubbish

bayelsaowei:
leave those mumu..and I can swear that the OP is yoruba..even after being marginalised the OP still comes out to support buharis lop sided appointments...

Talk about slavery...

odogwubiafra:
Whenever l hear you guys justifying Buhari's stand on one sided appointments, what this means is, yes he is right, after all GEJ did same. What comes to my mind is REVENGE instead of CHANGE as the campaign mantra. This is democratically unacceptable for a party that rode to power on the promise that they will right the wrongs of the past.

However, we are particularly concerned about the KEY positions as regards federal character. Starting from;
1) President
2) Senate president
3) Speaker HOR
4) Attorney General of the federation
5) SGF
6) INEC
7) All Security Chiefs.
I stand to be corrected that never a time even under military that the aforementioned positions were all from one of either South or North.

banki:
This lie you people keep telling irritates me
The chief of defence staff is from ekiti state
The chief of naval staff is from cross rivers
The chief of armybstaff is from Bornu
The chief of airstaff is from bauchi
The chief of defence intelligence was from Benue and has just retired
The head if Nigeria police was Edo and retired and was replaced by someone from niger state

So how can you say all the security chiefs are from the north?

gurunlocker:
Everything is always north.... Mehn, I tire for this country o

Chimdiebere:
I wonder o! Na only us dey for this world.. If groundnut was what was feeding Nigeria , will the NIGER DELTA control it?

bayelsaowei:
Nonsense...abubakar would you get your ass off the Niger delta...

Sunnynwa:
These ones would be embarking on a suicide mission.

HammerTheirPapa:
Horus the abookina is showing pictures of the sunni nigeria army in an attempt to scare the niger deltans. Abooki soldiers wey no sabi swim. Na today?

Fremancipation:
[s]You clearly lack the capacity to understand things. On individual level, Igbos are doing marvelous in Nigeria. With the biggest middle class of all groups and the biggest in the Nigerian diaspora.

But one thing ndigbo refuse to do as long as they are still part of phantom one Nigeria is to let federal government marginalize them on federal infrastructures that other regions get for free.

Trust me, if igbos get Biafra tomorrow, you will see the largest mobilization of private capital for investment and infrastructure in African history. Igbos will build everything infrastructure that they need. In fact there will be 2 additional niger bridge that will be built.

But as long as you devils insists that we remain in Nigeria with you, we will continue to demand from federal government what they do for other regions. [/s]

I hope you get it now dummy.

Mujaheeeden:
I am a twitter Lord and i can bet that this handle is one of those unknown handles that are not popular but the Op just want to score a cheap shot.

If it was @akaebube i would have fainted. Please carry this nonsense handle and gerrout

iaatmguy:
you are correct, you do not share anythingin common with the northerner, but let's live together, I believewe need each other, [s]though apparently the north needs the south than the south needs the north[/s]

Fremancipation:
So your rationale is that Igbo man created the unitary system which was wrong but because Hausa man continued it for 50 years after multiple genocide and multiple coups, we must continue to remain in it just to punish igbos.

Well I have breaking news for you. The unitary system which you all have been supporting is actually hurting Nigeria more than it has hurt ndigbo specifically.

Igbos are the most adaptable group and are doing much better than the rest of other groups in Nigeria. So if your idea of continuing the unitary system was to punish igbos, you have failed woefully in that mission.

And finally because of it, all the poor Asian nations that Nigeria was richer than in the 60s and 70s such as South Korea has surpassed us and left us in the dust. Good luck with your punishment for ndigbo.

It didn't work for awolowo or Buhari and it will not work for you guys. cc Deadlytruth

project50:
look never tell your enemies what you have in mind that what wike did

Rayhutar:
You people are the problem of Nigeria.
Who is deceiving who.
Time will tell.
Even US don't practice one party system and you want one party system for others to benefit.
Let's keep on,one day Nigeria will disintegrate like USSR and Yugoslavia

Deadlytruth:
You get it wrong again. The cause of the anarchy then was all about which party formed alliances with which and who was perceived to have rigged elections and censuses. It had absolutely nothing to do with the civil service or structure of government. So one expected Ironsi to have busied himself with the reviewing or cancelling the disputed elections or censuses or better still calling all the politicians to a round table to address these issues. But he left all that completely and went after the civil service which by law is not even connected to politics and politicians whose misunderstandings were the cause of the problem. How exactly was the unification of the civil service supposed to quell the riots in the western region, calm the Northerners over the overnight gruesome assassinations of their leading lights, convince the Northern military officers that justice would be done, placate the supporters of Akintola who was murdered, placate Northerners over the shooting of Ahmadu Bello's wife directly on her pregnant abdomen, placate the Yoruba's and Northerners over the cruel killing of a lot of fine innocent top rank gentlemen officers?
All these were the real potential sources of further anarchy. So how could an act of tinkering with the civil service have addressed all those issues? What concerns civil service with the assassination of politicians and military officers?
If at all one would even relate the issues with the structure, then one can safely say that the anarchy was partly caused by an abuse and misuse of powers of the central government headed by Tafawa Balewa. Now if the centre could so abuse power to cause anarchy, simple logic therefore dictated that whoever sincerely came with the mission of arresting the situation and returning normalcy should have even reduced the powers of the centre to prevent such abuse in future meaning a further decentralization of all sectors including civil service. But ironically Ironsi unified the civil service thereby further concentrating more powers at the very centre whose abuse of power caused the mess in the first instance. So Ironsi was the cause of our problems any way you look at it.

HopeAtHand:
And they are now asking that it be returned back to the initial system, a system that is in best interest of all. Is dat not good??

Fremancipation:
No matter how many times you guys repeat this lies, it will never become true.

Ironsi left the regions intact the way they were. He only nationalized all the civil service in the regions and put it under military command.

It was actually coward Gowon that dissolved the region through state creation.

proeast:
Very typical, reading this one paragraph alone shows you are afonja. Just look at the shameless way this coward is mystifying the ab.okis as if they are a super power

Sealeddeal:
You are lying to yourself.

Sealeddeal:
Northerners,down south,are reputed for different series of mass action against non-natives and minorities residing within them,which has resulted in different atrocities including massacre, terrorism and forced displacement of people. Nobody who has not been to north will agree that human being resides there. Northerners are considered as 'animals' from the Southern point of view especially those that has not been there. So there is that feeling that nothing from north looks like those in South. The person that created this thread equally want to hear those sentiments. So,when I said " Northerners are human being also", It is simple my view that they should be judged like human beings and not as terrorists, or 'animals'

halimi26:

I admire what you are trying to do with the photos on this thread but those photos are for the wrong audience that is not what they want to see.They want to see pics of almajiris,hijab wearing women&other stereotypes
Thesame thing can be said about the western media portrayal of africa.They would rather show us in mud huts with starving babies than showing us in cities living upmobile lives but as long as you&i know "what time it is",why should we care what these ignoramuses think of us

Sealeddeal:
it seems you're too sensitive. The statement is normal when used correctly.

Maj196:
Have u met d North? Too backward in every aspect of life.

Sealeddeal:
if you want, get me wrong. That's your cup of tea. I live in a city in north and I have also been to different states in the north.
