dTruth101:
In the wake of His Excellency President Muhammadu Buhari's last appointments, there has been an uproar from section of the country crying foul of marginalization. Since then, Unprecedented regional propaganda by certain sectional media outfits have become the order of the day. Unfortunately, some people seem to have easily forgotten our recent history and are now even deriving fun in calling this people's government all sorts of names such as "Government of the North", "Arewa government","Northern Agenda" etc. But when it is the other way round, Nobody talks or complains. Hence, it is pertinent for all well meaning and patriotic Nigerians to raise their voices in defense of the truth for the sake of posterity.

Dr Joseph Dawha is from Bornu state, North-East
Brgd Gen. Arogbofa is from Ondo, South-West

That said, we voted change and as such expect PMB not to toe GEJ's line.



Yes you are right about the ADC, I will correct it.But Dauha is not from Borno.

I am privy to certain confidential information which I

But noatter how you look at it GEJ case is worse
than PMB's though we are not expecting him to toe
GEJ's path of sectional favouratism.
The most curious observation here is the
unprecedented uproar from a section of the country
while the same section maintained deafening silence

WHY the double standerd? WHY the silence in the

Politics / ON Buhari's LATEST APPOINTMENTS - By Osas Chijioke by dTruth101: 10:32am On Aug 28, 2015
ON BUHARI's LATEST APPOINTMENTS...

People forget that Nigeria is beyond Hausa-Fulani, Igbo, and Yoruba.
Buhari's appointments are touching several states of Nigeria.
For those who don't know, 'the north' is not a monolithic entity but a very diverse region.

When wailers wail because Buhari appoints Christian or Muslim minorities to represent their states, they deserve pity. Buhari has made appointments from Kano to Kaduna to Nassawa, from Katsina to Adamawa.

These are all 'northern' states but they are not the same in terms of ethnic and religious composition. While I personally would have wanted Ogbonanya Onu as SFG, there is nothing that makes that position automatically his.

And by the way, the heads of Nigeria's two major agencies-- the NNPC and CBN-- are igbos. So what are we talking about? Nigeria has at least 250 ethnic groups and 36 states and this composition goes beyond Hausa-Fulani, Igbo and Yoruba. The earlier we get this into our skulls the better.

Politics / Jonathan's Unfounded Fears by dTruth101: 8:04pm On Jul 21, 2015
ll
Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan is now a confused
man, running helter-skelter in search of a saviour as
he was being haunted by his past. He has shown
that he is a cowardly and spineless politician who
couldn’t take his medicine as a man. Undoubtedly,
Mr. Jonathan is now a completely changed man,
totally different from the posture he had adopted
immediately after the April presidential elections
when he conceded defeat without much ado. The
former President is now afraid of his shadow, trying
desperately to redefine the spirit of the tranquillity
fostered by General Abdusalami Abubakar’s National
Peace Committee during and soon after the 2015
General Elections. By so doing, ex-president
Jonathan was trying not to accept the inevitable.
It was reported that Mr Jonathan who was
holidaying abroad, has suddenly dashed into Abuja
to launch a protest over the determination of
President Muhammadu Buhari to probe how more
than two billion dollars was illegally siphoned from
the Excess Crude Account. It was said that he was
planning to protest over his extreme and
unreasonable suspicion of attempt to blackmail him
and his former cabinet ministers and is utterly
miserable and displeased with the tag of corruption
put on his administration, and worried by the
impending probe of the whereabouts of the four-
billion-dollars taxes and dividends paid by the
Nigerian Liquefied Natural Gas company between
2009 and 2014.
Mr. Jonathan and some of his ministers are troubled
by the inquiry into how the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, under their watch
allegedly blew three-point-eight trillion Naira in
three years.
Although ex-president Jonathan has lodged his
protest with former Head of State, General
Abdussalami Abubakar, no meeting was held
between him and President Buhari and it was
doubtful if such meeting could ever take place
considering the fact that the issue may not be open
for discussion because it is an event that may never
occur in the current war against corrup
The General Abdusalam’s National Peace Committee
for 2015 General Elections must by now have
outlived its usefulness and its term of reference did
not cover intercession by a third party or to
dissuade the victor in the presidential elections not
to probe the administration of the vanquished.
Therefore, Mr. Jonathan should not be capitalising
on General Abdussalami to intervene by requesting
President Buhari to stay action on the ongoing probe
of his administration. Already the Buhari
administration has raised a four-man panel to probe
how NNPC spent more than three-trillion Naira in
three years and other related issues.
A former minister in Mr Jonathan’s cabinet, Mrs
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala claimed that ex-President
Jonathan ordered the spending of one billion dollars
out of the two-point-one billion dollars withdrawn
from the Excess Crude Account to oil marketers as
fuel subsidy while another one-billion dollars was
used for Jonathan’s electioneering campaigns. All
the withdrawals were without the prior approval of
the National Economic Council. Against that
backdrop ex-President Jonathan could be culpable
and might likely face charges of corruption and
gross misconduct. He should therefore be advised to
stop unnecessary complaints and prepare his line of
defence when he eventually becomes a very
important guest of the EFCC.
Under ex-President Jonathan the anti-graft agency
appeared to be in deep slumber, but with him in its
kitty it would become alive to its responsibility and
deal with him squarely. Already, three former
governors have been dragged to court and are now
accounting for their financial stewardship. The
arraignment of these top politicians and their cronies
is a welcome development as long as due process
would be observed. In the previous years, under the
administration of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and
Goodluck Jonathan only lip service was paid to the
fight against corruption and the EFCC was used to
witch hunt perceived political enemies.
Nigerians were worried because governance at the
state level was characterised by corrupt practices
with the governors plotting events that charted the
course of their bankruptcy. While the governors
busied themselves negotiating foreign and domestic
loans they were also quick to ensure that the
monies ended up in private pockets with little left to
cater for the impoverished people.
While majority of Nigerians welcome probes that will
bring culprits to book, cleanse the polity and restore
sanity in all aspects of governance, it is advisable
that thorough investigations are carried out before
charging the governors or other culpable officials to
court. The Buhari administration will not certainly
welcome a situation where people are accused of
corruption without sufficient grounds.
In that connexion, Mr Jonathan, who has phobia
about probes, should know that trial just for the
sake of it, or in order to play to the gallery, definitely
will not feature in the current fight against abuse of
office. Therefore, Mr. Jonathan should stop
expending his energy running from pillar to post
seeking to postpone the inevitable. Nobody is after
him or any of his ministers, but everybody is
determined to join the momentous fight against
corruption; and if he is eventually caught in that
web there is nothing anybody can do to save him.

In reaction to a cowardly Sambo Dasuki claim, as the former NSA cracked so easily under minute pressure, saying: “I gave my best to this transition which led to the victory of the opposition over the ruling Party”.
Dr. Ango Abdullahi said: Of course you did sir. You were even captured on video in Sokoto with a group of improvised marabouts praying for the success of the deadly PDP. Nigerians were sure those prayers were for the success of the opposition not the ruling Party which covert operations you were alleged to have supervised and financed from the NSA’s office while playing acrobatics with the defence budget. It’s obvious Oga Sambo didn’t know that his nocturnal visitations to traditional rulers – part of his efforts “to give his best to the transition that led to the victory of the opposition” was captured and reported to the public in real-time, sometimes complete with amounts of his “drops” which were mostly rejected even by “Dogarawa”. Someday, somebody may trigger his memory to recollect what happened in Gwandu and Sokoto when he went calling. For now, let’s concentrate on what should constitute his today’s worries. Perhaps, not being so privileged and blue blooded like Sambo, if I’m in his shoes I will be worried with details of multi-trillion Naira budgetary spending in 3 years under his watchful eyes with nothing to show but a significant chunk of Nigeria conceded to a ragtag army of untrained militia. I will be more worried with the circumstances that left Nigeria with dysfunctional, visibly pregnant and embarrassingly ineffective army chiefs who seemed more at home supervising multi-billion Naira private estates in Abuja than supervising troops in Maiduguri and Damaturu. Dasuki claimed he was “fair” to all even when he had security cause to act on inflammatory comments about the government of the day (GEJ’s government). I wish he wasn’t. I wish he deployed the powers of his office to react to the “inflammatory comments” about GEJ’s government – comments he seem so shy to tell the public even when doing so could cheaply earn him public sympathy. Perhaps, then I will feel no restriction asking him why he remained aloof about thugs like Asari Dokubo and con artists like Pastor Oritsejafor. We may even ask him why he was silent when Marilyn Oga was busy reducing the DSS into an arm of the PDP he “worked against” to give the opposition victory over the ruling Party. With minimum knowledge of the law of Karma, Dasuki should have licked his wounds in silence considering the fact that he remained stone silent when the same DSS was persecuting members of the opposition he “silently worked to give victory” like Malam Nasir El-Rufai. We are not talking about new laws for the DSS. Just talking about a DSS with a new purposeful leadership with visible intent to restore the lost respectability of a bastardized government institution. Ok, we heard the operatives invaded and ransacked his residences, something that broke the heart of his ailing father who is in a London hospital. I believe that story was cooked up to gain sympathy. Still, I don’t expect a retired Colonel even of a ragtag army to be so womanly no matter how desperate the situation, the least of all Sambo Dasuki who was part of the team that went and arrested President Buhari after he was toppled in 1985. I’m sure Dasuki was privy to subsequent invasions of PMB’s residences that caused unforgivable lost of valuables including certificates – part of which was used to unleash a shameless campaign against PMB’s educational qualification only recently without Dasuki raising a finger to put the records straight because he was busy trying to shift the original date of an election the PDP was obviously going to lose. By the way, did somebody tell Dasuki PMB didn’t have a mother back then whose heart was broken by the travails of her son? Sambo may never know the pain of being locked-up and refused a visit to an ailing mother and subsequent denial of attending her funeral. Haba! Somebody should be a man and save us the “heart melting” tears of a male adult who is sleeping on a bed he made with his hands to suit his comfort. If I’m Daduki, I will use the opportunity to review the chapters I missed in the book of life especially, the most important chapter dealing with the law of karma.

Politics / The Northern Domination Brouhaha , By Joe Onwukeme by dTruth101: 6:31pm On Jul 21, 2015
Ever since president Buhari was inaugurated as the
president of the emerging Nigeria, some indecorous
critics have taken it upon themselves to be fighting
imaginary wars, making a mountain out of a
molehill.
There’s hardly a day that would pass by that friends
won’t at every turn ask me: “where’s our change”?
On every appointment, a very close friend of mine
would send the names of the appointees on my
facebook wall to notify and remind me no South
east person has been appointed by the president.
To many of my southern friends, the appointments
so far is an indication president Buhari is pursuing a
northen agenda so that a particular region would
continue to dominate Nigeria.
I don’t want to comment on the few appointments
so far, considering the fact that the president has
over a thousand appointments to make in no distant
time but interesting facts abound about this
northern domination which I have seen but don’t
know if others have seen it or pretended not to
notice.
I noticed there is a BBC Hausa station but no BBC
yoruba or Igbo. Was this caused by Buhari to
continue northern domination?
What about Africa Magic Hausa? It’s even on GOTV
but Africa Magic Igbo is not on GOTV, just DSTV
and on a higher bouquet plan. So Africa Magic Igbo
is not given equal opportunities with Africa Magic
Hausa. Who’s to be blamed? Buhari!
Boko Haram has been attacking only the north and
they have not come to the South. Another evidence
of the north wanting to have everything under
Buhari. Lets blame Buhari.
Again, Shekau has been silent but when he speaks
in his videos, what language does he speak? Hausa
without Igbo or Yoruba translations. Hausa
domination of other languages, is that not so?
What of the recent arrest and detention of some
former northern governors by EFCC and the 12 hours
siege at the Abuja residence of the immediate past
National Security adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd)
last week Thursday, by men of the Department of
State Security Service (DSS). Was those acts part of
the northern domination of Nigeria?
Now that relevant authorities are going after
politicians of northern extraction, who were fingered
in corruption cases, some malicious partisan whistle
blowers really seem to be comfortable with it but
when same authorities will begin their manhunt of
corrupt politicians from their regions, they will still
cry out that president Buhari is on a vindictive
mission.
It is only those who are yet to recover from agony
of defeat and some ethnic bigots that would insist
president Buhari is pursuing a northern agenda
through his appointments. Mr. President in his
inaugural speech assured Nigerians he would be
president of Nigeria and not president of a particular
region and so far his few appointments has been
purely on merit and competence. This is a clear
depature from what was obtained in the past and
even the blind could see that president Buhari is
keeping to his inaugural promise of belonging to
nobody but everybody.
Lest we forget: Before Buhari was voted,” he’s a
fanatic”, “he will Islamize Nigeria”, “Buhari is boko
haram” etc. He is now the president and am yet to
see anything close to what those myopic religious
and tribalistically motivated folks were ranting.
Please, to those that are still ruled by parochial
sentiments: just keep your tribe and religion to
yourself. Nigeria has grown beyond that and we
want a better Nigeria.
The truth is, common sense is not really common
here in our polity. Or how can one explain the resort
to checking where Buhari’s appointees are from not
their abilities? With the monstrous problems facing
us, we are really carrying elephants on our heads
and scratching the grounds for crickets with our
feets.
May God save us from us!

Zoning was designed to ensure equity and give sense of belonging to every ethnic nationality in Nigeria but some selfish politicians (GEJ. Anenih. OBJ. and other southern politicians and stakeholders) killed it in 2011.

Zoning is dead since 2011. Nigeria will never backpedal to that agreement.
