Southerners always pulling themselves down only to cry of maginalization later. How many Northerners have petitions written against them?

Buhari has high respect for Prof. Osinbajo's integrity he is counting on him for sound nominations. So dont be surprise to see more academicians on the list expecially from the SE.
See, this is beyond southerner pulling southerner down. I'm really trying so hard to look beyond ethnicity and other things just in a bid to having a new Nigeria. Moreso, is Donald Duke not a fellow southerner? I'm more concerned about who will be more effective at the job. Can you compare the impact Donald had on cross rivers state to what Amaechi did in rivers?

First of all, I'm still an employee, but I do not plan to remain one forever. If all employees here are true to themselves, 95% would admit that they don't really like what they do, and what they get paid for it, but they have to work just for survival. I recommended entrepreneurship, and as a Network Marketer, I was obviously biased in the type of entrepreneurship I recommended. If fire burns flp how does it affect me? The company makes over $2.6 billion in profits every year, out of which over 40% comes to us. How e wan take bankrupt? And I have so many friends in Network marketing who make millions every month! Now that's something to work towards.
I'm talking of a honest living here, and you're talking of a public servant who owns other businesses. My mum is a very honest Perm Sec @ grade 17, and she doesn't have any of those, so where did your public servant get money from? Buhari is appointing judges for him. You mentioned investments! Why do people here keep saying " invest wisely" here. What investment? Stocks? Our capital market has lost 18% ( about 2 Trillion naira). That's some people's wise investments there. how many can invest in real estate? Forex? Good luck! Invest in someone else's business? Angel investors would tell you factually that such investments fail 9 out of 10 times. Our generation needs to start thinking! You can't give someone else your money to manage for you and really hope to make a fortune, except you're already a billionaire with a lot to invest. You need to move from poor to rich first!
I don't expect my messages to appeal to everyone. if you decide to plan your own life with a limited salary forever, I wish you luck, and I respect your decision. But if you feel like you deserve more out of life, then you're welcome to try.
Please I like your line of reasoning. In view of that, what kind of investment would you recommend?

Hmm... It seems the Ibos haven't learnt from what happened during the Biafran war. Perhaps they're fortified for another war. Meanwhile I think Buhari is not yet ready to reply them. When he is, they'll see the his real body language.

Although I vehemently condemn the action of the military and police on those unarmed civilians. Their bullets should be directed to boko haram and other criminals and not on people they're supposed to be protecting.

PoliticsAPC Leaders Angry As Buhari Appoints More Northerners by drberry(op): 5:13pm On Aug 28, 2015
THERE was an outrage in the ruling All Progressives
Congress on Thursday over the announcement of new
appointments by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Leaders of the APC, who spoke to The PUNCH , complained
that the appointments tilted in favour of the North and said
the party must move fast to cope with the backlash of
expected rumblings in the polity.

“The President does not consult before making most of
these appointments and I can tell you that Nigerians are
going to term the party and the President as a northern
party and the President of Northern Nigeria,” a leader of the
party said to one of our correspondents late on Tuesday.
Buhari, according to a statement by his Special Adviser to
the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, on
Thursday approved the appointment of Babachir David
Lawal from Adamawa State as the Secretary to the
Government of the Federation.

He also named Mr. Abba Kyari from Borno state as his Chief
of Staff. Other appointments approved by the President, according to the statement, are those of Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali (retd.) as the new Comptroller-General, Nigerian Customs Service; Mr. Kure Martin Abeshi, Comptroller-General, Nigerian Immigration Service; Senator Ita Enang, Senior Special Assistant on National Assembly Matters (Senate); and Suleiman Kawu as SSA on National Assembly Matters (House of Representatives).

Both Ali and Kawu are from Kano State and Abeshi is from
Nasarawa. Enang from Akwa Ibom State is the only one
from the south geo-political zone. Adesina said all the appointments would take immediate effect.

Three top national officers of the APC, who spoke with one
of our correspondents on condition of anonymity shortly
after the announcements were made, wondered why the
President was appointing only northerners to positions to
the detriment of the southerners.

They said that the President was already giving the party a
bad name among Nigerians. They said they had hoped that
he would learn from the criticisms that trailed his first
appointments where more northerners were appointed into
sensitive positions than southerners.

Before the latest appointments, the President had also
named only one southerner among the initial nine
appointments he made.

The northerners in the first appointments are the Director-
General of the State Services, Lawal Daura; Acting Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Mrs. Amina Zakari; the Director, Department of Petroleum Resources, Mr. Mordecai Danteni Baba Ladan; and the Accountant-General of the Federation, Alhaji Ahmed Idris.

Also in the first appointments are the President’s Chief
Security Officer, Abdulrahman Mani; State Chief of Protocol,
Mallam Abdullahi Kazaure; Aide- De-Camp, Lt. Col. Muhammed Abubakar; and the Senior Special Assistant on
Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu. Only the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Feminine Adesina, hailed from Osun Staten in the South-West.

Another APC leader said the party must devise a way of
managing the backlash that would follow the appointments. He said, “Though the President did not get much votes from the South-East but we must not neglect the zone in key appointments. “Even the South-West that supported and was the backbone of the party, what are we giving the zone in appreciation?

We need to be careful before the party is destroyed.”
It was gathered that some leaders of the party were already
thinking of having an enlarged meeting where the
appointments would be reviewed. But another senior member of the APC said such a meeting, if it would hold at all, would have to wait until the party holds its Kogi State governorship primary on Saturday.

A member of the state executive of APC in a South-West
state, said the appointments were lopsided against the
South. He said, “When President Olusegun Obasanjo took over, you saw balance in appointments as he reflected federal character. President Goodluck Jonathan too reflected a semblance of balance. Buhari is pursuing a northern agenda. This is the same agenda pursued by the late Sir Ahmadu Bello, when everything was pro-North.

Buhari made six appointments at a go and five of them are northerners.” The Speaker of one of the Houses of Assembly in the South-West, who spoke on condition of anonymity, also described the new appointments as shocking. The Speaker, who is a member of the APC, said, “This is shocking. It doesn’t speak well at all. The South-West has been completely neglected and the South-East too. The South-West was neglected during the President Goodluck Jonathan years. The South-West must rise up against this.”

Similarly, an APC chairman in another South-West state,
who also spoke on condition of anonymity, said the list of
the new appointees had left him perplexed. The chairman said, “This is not good at all. Why should he choose everybody from the North? I am sure he did not confide in anybody before drawing up the list and making the announcement. We will continue to watch. It is condemnable.”

In the same vein, an APC member of the House of
Representatives, said the leaders of the party in the South-
West were shocked by Buhari’s latest appointments.
“He didn’t tell anybody. We are all shocked. The real
shocker would be when he is going to appoint ministers. The only thing that would save us is that he is mandated
constitutionally to choose from all states, otherwise, he
would have chosen all the ministers too from the North,” the female member of parliament said.
