These people are still bitter about the demolitions some of them suffered in Abuja during El-Rufai's restoration of the city's master-plan. This should be delicately handled so it doesn't turn to an ethno-religious crisis between northern and southern Kaduna.
kenny987: Wow! Context man! It's neither a pissing nor cussing contest! Hold ur horses please! I expected comprehension of what I wrote not this kind of knee-jerk response. I should not be surprised though...
Neither did I, you sound like you just saw a ghost.
murphyibiam15: hey! u are are getting it wrong...in a democratic setting u cant have the mandate of everybody and thats wat certainly makes us humans..JONATHAN won his election in 2011 losing kano;Katsina and several Nothern states but is still on RECORD he delivered more to the north via almajiri schools and and road networks...and GMB having one on the mantra of change from bad to good for the common Nigerian then all Nigerians irrespective of your religion,ethnicity or region should be all inclusive
centjamie: Convince me that Buhari stopped being a president of Nigeria and has now become the president of the North and South west who bought his change mantra and gave him block votes and i will buy your sentment.
I know your are lettered,guide your words.
Ernieman: why are you hating on the Igbos, like they dont have the right to vote for who they feel deserved their vote, and election is long gone, everyone's moved on and you are here oozing out hatred. Buhari is a politician like every other politician in this country and by virtue of his position as one, he should expect both constructive and destructive criticisms from the Nigerian Populace, this is what the game entails. Besides, this same man you here defending, CRITICISED the past government and made promises that we are yet to have a sign of fulfilment/step to fulfilment. Like GEJ said recently, the man needs our prayers rather than making hate speeches here and there.
Mcowubaba: Ur Statement is illogical nd silly... What do u knw abt being the President of a Country in a Democratic setting... Pls tell me a President in Nigeria or in the World that had 100% support nd love from his Country people GEJ in 2011 lost in over 5 northern States, did that prevent him from appointing people from those states nd also developing those states Nd GEJ did more for the NORTH (though the hated him) than the South!! Obama was abused morethan Buhari, but when he came on board, he had to let go of anger, revenge... PMB will be a dimwit, if he decides to carry out 'revenge' on people that didn't support him..so much from una "change" mantra Ps..Regional appointments does not guarantee Regional developments nd Wealth, if u doubt me ask ur region almajiri's!! I care-LESS abt any bullsh!t appointment in my region, bcuz most of them, r only dia for their Pockets!!! But moreover, whether u like it or not- Federal Character MUST prevail, the entire 6 Southsouth states nd 5 Southeast states will ALL produce Ministers nd other Federal appointments Quote me, after PMB's cabinet is announced
Karlman: Was I expecting much sense from you? Why? Because an Almajiri will always be an Almajiri, no sense or any sort of reasoning is expected from such a thing as you are.
Anyway listen, my point is this.
The SS voted for their son which is a deeply rational act in the context of a deeply ethnicized country.
The SE (most of) rejected the APC and its candidate General M Buhari for not other concievable reason but sheer contempt and hatred,
As it is, theres almost no APC presence in the SE, and the party structure is what lobbies for appointments that are due to the States.
Why should you all now act surprised when there are no Southern appointments out of the less than 20% of appointments that have been made so far?

kenny987: Unfortunately, it is what is...A Northern govt as u call it. On the basis of politicking what is an anomaly is hailed as right. Still, nature has its way of doing things and when the time is right, evil will be seen for what it is and excised. Hopefully Nigerian politics can grow and be more mature. I honestly hope u get severely disappointed though otherwise even they will not deny that their change is a sham and all they're after is to feed fat off an already wobbling Nigeria and not fulfil their mandate. If there is no competition with loyalists on both sides of the divide then what is democracy?
All you can do is wail and whine.
May nature also have its way with you the same way you want it for others, in full measure.

This is utterly condemnable, this is why these blood sucking terrorists should not be treated differently from Boko Haram. Their satanic missions on earth must be cut-short and the animals eliminated.
May that innocent baby's tender soul rest in peace.
kenny987: He was in the opposition same as a large number of people and entitled to his stand. That is no crime and no one should be 'punished ' or deliberately sidelined for their opinion. APC and Buhari promised to carry all Nigerians along and just as the sun shines on all so does the rain. In much the same manner, Nigerians have collectively had a raw deal as far as leadership is concerned from the days of military rule till date. So they all collectively call for a better leadership which translates to a better standard of living, u cannot therefore exclude some and favour others more because they didn't support u. Where then is the beauty of democracy and politics if there are no choices or alternatves? There must be a healthy competition, someone must graciously concede defeat when it so happens while the other accepts victory and fully accommodates all.
If this government will take taxes from all Nigerians irrespective of region or tribe; if Federal institutions such as the Police which are paid by taxpayers will wield authority over all and sundry then all citizens have a right to equitable representation and development. Until it becomes a criminal offence and no longer a constitutional right to form or belong to a political or other association, no person has the right to exclude another.
I have not insulted u but stated facts as they are. It is absolute insanity to discriminate against a group or region simply because of their political leaning. Until we have two or more governments representing individual ideologies then it is all for one and one for all.
Keep pontificating while others are politicking, you can play ostrich all you want. The fact remains that this is a northern government (don't be deceived by the words of politicians) which will dish out the juiciest appointments to its allies and loyalists. You WILL not reap where you didn't sow, you are obligated to pay taxes as a law abiding citizen, PMB is not obligated to appoint any S/Easterner as a full minister, it is at his discretion.
Of course the SS will get it's full ministers, but I will be severely disappointed if the SE gets more than the constitutional requirement of a junior minister. If you call it hatred, be reminded it's reciprocal.
centjamie: Mister,you must be a very big fool for making the kind of comments you make on this forum.i am not a fan of using foul languages on people but you just pushed me to the limit.i know you think you are smart and intelligent,but sorry to disappoint you,intelligent people don't say everything no matter how disgruntled they are.they control their emotion.
you want Buhari to run a government of revenge and witch hunting yet you preach change.if Gej ran a government of ethnicity,favouritism and nepotism,the onus now lies on pmb to do the correct thing as the agent of change he is bearing in mind that Nigeria is a multi ethnic state.he shouldn't follow the old established order.or was he not voted in to fix the ruin in the system?
Just look at the rubbish You wrote up there and tell me if your children will be proud of you after reading them.
You can insult me all you want, but I will not descend to that level. What I've stated is the pure truth, you never bought the idea of change so it's puzzling how you suddenly lay claim to it.
The PDP had a solid structure in the North, therefore party bigwigs and interests had to be considered.
The APC, now the ruling party, was totally rejected in the SS/SE. Of course without a structure in those regions it would be difficult if not impossible to lobby for the highly coveted portfolios.
sunnyb0b0: The south is also made up of 3 geopolitical zones but Buhari is already marginalising the South.
Nope.
Femi Adesina is SW, and the rest of PMB'scabinet will reflect the SW significantly. As for the rest of the south, they are already over represented in this government which they never believed in.
PMB does not have their mandate and that a cold hard fact. I will be heavily disappointed if he gives any tangible portfolio to those who hated him with passion and said he was too old and illiterate to govern. They have no business in such a government, and should be limited to ministers of state since the law requires every state to produce a minister.
Jonathan once said Igbos were the pillar of his administration, yet no one screamed blue murder. Hypocrites.
kenny987: Don't forget that the Ekiti state governor was one of the loudest in the vociferous criticisms of GMB. Last I checked, he is from the SW. What then happens to the SW in this regard? If u can disregard the comments of an elected governor and are more concerned about those that supported him then u cannot deny or disregard support he got in the SE/SS however minimal. Selective appointments/negative treatment of perceived enemies will only show that he's not prepared to lead and that #CHANGE was all a scam designed to take power to the North. In a place like Nigeria this 'winner-takes-all' mentality cannot work. If the current administration keeps going back to previous administrations to validate their wrong and questionable activities where then is the change? He is President of all Nigerians and not a certain section so advocating a deliberate side-lining of a particular area because of their political ideology or inclination is myopic and unbecoming of any sane person.
I will be the bigger person and ignore your thinly veiled insult which was completely uncalled for, insanity is condemning a man's capacity to govern and then pleading to serve in his government a few weeks later.
Fayose was in the opposition and as such was entitled to his hallucinatory diatribes, if he as much as lobbies to be part of this government he will be given the same response, regardless of the fact that he was an exception in his region.
It's cowardly to seek altruism when powerless, after behaving like spoilt kids under Jonathan. Do you remember all the taunts thrown at the North by Dokubo and other southerners?
If Igbos were the pillar of Jonathan's administration, it is absolutely hypocritical to throw tantrums when northerners form the pillar of Buhari's administration.
If you didn't buy the mantra of change, then it's completely illogical to demand change when it arrives.
M4gunners: President of the northerners. As of mr am not feeling this Man.He has not still convince me he is the president of all.
He didn't get the mandate of all. Your yardstick should be competence not ethnicity, as for representation, I assure you the SW will be significantly represented in his cabinet. I will be heavily disappointed if he gives any tangible portfolio to those who hated him with passion and said he was too old and illiterate to govern. They have no business in such a government, and should be limited to ministers of state since the law requires every state to produce a minister.
Jonathan once said Igbos were the pillar of his administration, yet no one screamed blue murder. Hypocrites.
barcanista: GEJ can be accused of anything but not marginalising the North. The only people that can complain is the SW but it wasn't that bad. It is a shame that some people in the North are poised to rewrite history that we all witnessed.
The North is made up of 3 out of the 6 geopolitical zones so it's impossible to marginalize the North.
Nwangoma: Besides,am not bashing the North. Like i said earlier,most of them in the North have nothing to do with you asides linguistics. Am bashing the inherently most violent group of people in the north. Now you know them!
Nwangoma: Stupidity! Boko haram posses the features of ISIS, just like other islamic fundamentalist sect in the world. If you don't stop them to today,then we might see a local sect grow into a Regional and international sect. Go and contain Boko not spread it!
I can see the lack of nutrients and mental scars of the war have been genetically transferred to you making you irredeemably stupi.d. The root of boko Haram is radical Islam as you have said since they possess the features of ISIS, why then is your focus on the North, or were you told all northerners are Muslims or that the Muslims among them support radicalism? Are you really this ignorant? You need to leave that rock you've been living under and explore the world. The same northerner Gen. Buhari defeated a similar Islamic sect Maitatsine in 84 and will do so again so don't despair.
Anyway the issue is the BH prisoners you once supported have been sent to Anambra by the same Ijaw President you slaved for, your zone is now heavily militarized, you lack the power to secede, and you must live under the rule of the same northerners you so love to hate.
Nwangoma: Learn how to think before writing eventhough it's obvious you have deep rooted prejudice against Igbos. The Subject at hand is Bokoharam in Nigeria not kidnappers, Northern Nigeria not Igbos,terrorism not easterners, Violence not wealth! As a northerner,i expected you to list ways and methods to contain your fellow animals but you insist on insulting Easterners that are based in the east. I keep saying that all of you are senseless animals,prone to jihad and terrorism. Why not argue like a human being for once,i can see you are moving too fast by showing how fulanis are interested in western education. I don't care about than neither is it the crux of this argument. The issue here is that you are indoctrinated by religion to be violent,to plunder and destroy exisiting civilization. I don't care if an aboki is making money or not. Am interested in the fact that they have a penchant to kill and destroy. It doesn't even stop at boko haram,they go as far as destroying their Host communities whereever they find themselves. Must be some Devilish genes!
The focus of the world and the subject at hand is on terrorism, not Northern Nigeria. ISIS is not Nigerian, but is made up of the British, Syrians, Iraqis etc. The thing they have in common is radical Islam, not being northern or Hausa. If your focus is truly on terrorism, then I will gladly join you in fighting the disease called radical Islam. If your aim is to bash the North, then you have something else coming.
Nwangoma: For every Aliyu ,there are 10 Igbo genius. Pls stick to the discussion at hand! We are talking about terrorism!
Nonsense, I thought you were trying to denigrate the Hausa/Fulani tribe, now that you have seen that we are capable of world-class inventions, industrial excellence, and occupy the enviable spot of the Richest African on earth, you want to concentrate on BH which was birthed and operates in a small corner of the North, and are made up of a minority tribe called the Kanuri.
Nwangoma: Pls stick to Boko haram issues. Calling Dangote is unwarranted in this argument. Terrorism should be contained not exported,if your leaders cannot do that ,then i don't know what they can do.
Nonsense, I thought you were trying to denigrate the Hausa/Fulani tribe, now that you have seen that we are capable of world-class inventions, industrial excellence, and occupy the enviable spot of the Richest African on earth, you want to concentrate on BH which was birthed and operates in a small corner of the North, and are made up of a minority tribe called the Kanuri.
No matter how hard you try, you cannot equate the North or Hausa/Fulani to Boko Haram. Your lies and ignorance will continue to be exposed in the process.
Nwangoma: In the course of this argument, i have defended or shielded the fact that these crimes you mentioned are not committed by Igbos. But it's obvious,how you don't wanna take the blame for your Terrorist brothers and blood suckers. But you turn around to accuse and mock others. Hate it or love it, you people are prone to be violent and senseless and shouldn't be relocated to other parts of this Nation.
Tell that to your confused brothers complaining of the lack of Dangote presence in iboland, a very illustrious fulani son by the way.
Nwangoma: Let's just face it,you are looking for an avenue to display your ethnic bigotry against Igbos. I've seen you do that in other threads. You name alone describes your personality. But you can't be a mafia for a group of people who have single handedly brought this Nation to a stand still. A set of people who continue to mock Nigeria in the international community. I expect you to focus on how to stop your blood sucker brothers from spreading to other parts of Nigeria and West Africa. Not defending terrorism and approving what you know it's not right inspite of yourself. Am not going to join you to argue about drugs or baby factory,the issue at hand is how to stop and Contain these terrorist in Northern Nigeria. Any other thing far from this would be interpreted as bigotry.
I can never defend terrorism, and it is a symptom of a weak mind to start attacking a person's personality instead of addressing the issue. Did the east not celebrate the north's travails under BH? Who then was supporting terrorism in spite of themselves as events have now shown, you seem confused.
Nwangoma: The last time was 40 something years ago. This is 2015 and there is a better option and a better reason to do that now. If you think Easterners will should their arms and manage this terrorism nonesense then you have to think properly. It's not enough that boko haram started by killing Igbos in the north....they can't try such in the East and go free. Support you? Were you not making fun of Igbo factory babies and kidnappers? You are just a bigot!
In 1967 you had a quasi-leader that despite his many inadequacies, was an Army colonel and was well educated, regardless of the blood of millions of ibo lives that were lost through battle and starvation that soak his hands.
Fast-forward to 2015, you are commanded by a semi-literate, ignorant and belligerent fraudster in the name of nnamdi kanu. An emotionally disturbed misdirected young man that has never fought a toothpick, and is so consumed with inferiority complex that he insults his very heritage, his blackness, his 'africanness' and that of his gullible and honestly stupi.d listeners on a daily basis.
If you already believe you are unintelligent and inferior to whites, what happens in the event the west supports Nigeria in the war like it did in the past and is doing right now in the NE? Surrender and declare your inferiority?
Lets also remember the alliance that worked in '67 is in its strongest state ever today with the ruling party. The futility of what you seek is so glaring but it seems only you jesters are blind to the bullshit.
Nwangoma: The last time was 40 something years ago. This is 2015 and there is a better option and a better reason to do that now.

You are just a bigot!
Oh so now you're hurt I reminded you Ibo's also kill and destroy after you called the entire north killers? You're just a joker, hypocrite.
Nwangoma: The Fulani people are the third class citizens in this country. No desire to progress at all. Always planning evil in their host communities. 90% terrorist, always thinking of how to hold on to power. Guy wisen up and ask your people to CHANGE. Or they will never be respected in this world.
Okay
While you are ruminating in your idiocy, check the world respecting and celebrating a Fulani genius and inventor of the Chevrolet Volt, Jelani Aliyu.
Nwangoma: You are only seeking for a means to insult people. History already shows that your people are violent and can't be stopped when they decide to go on a killing spree. I wouldn't put all Northerners in the same basket,cos many of them don't share ancestral relationship with you,just geographical space. Am basically referring to the terrorist children of ottoman fodio...
You are now confusing yourself now that I've exposed how myopic and irrational you last statement was. History has also shown your people to be cannibals and unrepentant drug traffickers, so does it make sense to color all Ibos in the same hue?
You are so cooked in your stereotype of the North that you cannot entertain reason or distinguish between what is rational and what is not. Killers, criminals, and terrorists are present in every tribe, region and culture since the biblical ages, it is daft to color an entire people based on the actions of a few.
Nwangoma: What do you want the East to do? To cry for you. To cry for a problem that was caused by your dullard power thirsty leaders? Now,i know what you want. That bokoharam repeats what it has done in the North? That will not happen. The country will just be divided,no two ways about it.
The east should have supported the fight against BH wholeheartedly instead of taunting the North. You lack the power, whether militarily or legislatively to divide this country so quit filling yourself. The last time you tried it you starved to death so don't be foolish.
Nobody wants bloodshed of any kind anywhere in this country, don't be misled by the sentimental rhetoric being peddled by vengeful elements that are still wailing over Jonathan's defeat.
Nwangoma: Kidnapping,factory baby are mere crimes. You can't possibly compare it with terrorism. Pls stop quoting me,you are not worthy enough.
Lol not worthy coming from third class citizen and conquered entity that is clearly cerebrally deficient and lacks the intelligence to present his own argument.
Nwangoma: This is not about Osu,Yoruba or Edo. This is abour a stupi-d group of people that have sworn to kill in the name of religion. I can't really speak for all the Northerners but spilling blood is part of your DNA. No reasonable human would like to share a space with blood suckers.
And in your myopic mind all northerners are Muslim? All northerners are killers? That would then mean all Ibos are tree worshipping cannibals that behead their fathers at the slightest disagreement.
Nwangoma: How silly! Echoing Igbo sentiment? Or Speaking the truth? I don't blame you though....you should have been in destroying and killing people like your brothers,if not for the little education you have.
I'm also glad you have not been kidnapped, your head is not cut off and spewing money, though I'm not sure you're not a product of an Umuahia baby factory, so you can showcase your hypocrisy unhindered.
Did the east not celebrate the North's suffering under BH? Was it not Jonathan that authorised the prisoner transfer, or is it the Anambra governor that campaigned for him that is lying?
Ganjafama: Am not surprised at this comment. You northerners are not fit to share the same country with us southerners. The sooner this country is split the better for all of us.
How would it make sense to you when it is the truth?
Don't deceptively try to hide under the umbrella of southerners when the entire world knows the unbridled burning hatred you have for your fellow southerners like the Yoruba and the Edo. Even if the North leaves, you vengeful bigots will still think Westerners are not fit to share the country with you, you even think some of your brothers are not fit to share the same village with you because they are Osu so what are we talking about?
You Ibos are full of hate and are reaping what you have sown... Period!
