Omololu007:
every state has a slot,no state has more slot than the other.they do choose the same number of candidate in every state

You see am not a bigot and I don't support a bigot, but integrity lies in accepting reality not trying to cheat nature, and besides you can't compare class integrity with political/public integrity, a student may graduate with first class without ever cheating but ends up taking public money would you still say just because he didn't cheat while he was in school that he is not corrupt or still has integrity? Integrity is tested when you give someone an assignment or you trust him with public fund and he didn't eat the yam. And encourages other people not to eat the yam and takes responsibility of everything under him.

Talk about what kwanu?,just like a little bitchh,the South West have been bleeped! And you know what they say,during sex you take of your clothes together and afta sex you dress your sef.The South West should go and pick up there clothes where they left it,WE in the eastern region are going with Biafra our country
Any leader from the eastern region that forms any alliance with the waste is bastard and a Saboteur
What happend afta Ironsi was killed and Ojukwu was fight for another southern brother Brigadier Babafemi Ogundipe to take over as the most senior officer after Ironsi,didn't the coward run away and leave Ojukwu in danger and defenceless
What happend when Ojukwu trusted Awolowo to declare Oduduwa republic so tha evrybody would be on its own
What happened during the election period when the South West used their media to paint a fellow southern brother as the most corrupt person in the world while shielding their own corrupt leaders like OBJ tinunu,fashiola Bode george etc?
Any leader from the eastern region that forms an alliance with those back stabbing bastards from the waste is an idiot!,what we need now is to unite and push 4 Biafra!
TO YOUR TENT O'ISREAL!....evrybody should answer is his fathers name

Its not about availability of capable hands in the south. Everybody knows the answer is pretty obvious. It is about what is important to us. Appointment to kinsmen or delivering good governance. I hear many of the newly approved private refineries are from the south. Like I said elsewhere, even if each of those 65 refineries employs 100 people, that is a whopping 6500 jobs. I'll take 6500 jobs before considering if Ameachi or anybody from the south be given appointment.


Simple!!
Then lobby to make the cut-off for the students from your state to be as low as that of the north! Why worry about the low cut-off from the north. People are being encouraged to go to school so they won't be readily available BH members tomorrow (and their girls married off at early age) and you are pained by that. If you are really desperate equality, then start working so the cut-off for enugu and anambra be reduced to the same level as that of yobe.

Now the highlighted part is the type of mentality that PISSES ME OFF.
We are talking about cutting the cost of governance and you are still promoting 1 minister from each state. What has the number of ministerial portfolios got to do with the number of state? So if Ijebu and Anioma states are created tomorrow, we will have to create two extra ministerial portfolios as well. THAT IS JUST CRAP!
And again, since you mentioned it, let me ask what the hell is the minister of state doing that the main minister cannot do? For example, will the ministry of education collapse without a minister of state for education? Is this not the wastage we are talking about. So you will be pissed off if PMB chooses to run a compact gov of 20 ministries abi since obviously the potfolios will not go round to every state. You may want to read what Festus Keyamu has to say about the legality of not following the usual 1 minister per state bu1lsh!t http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/keyamo-buhari-can-appoint-less-than-37-ministers/210359/

Finally again, I read Keyamu's perfect responce to people like you on another thread on this appointment saga: https://www.nairaland.com/2560234/keyamo-blasts-politicians-against-buharis

First, I don't recollect where I picked up fight with the OP. I understand the fun part of the thread.
I also understand the constitutional provision. But sincerely, this is where I actually have issues with the wailers. Many of them have derided the north for being parasites, that they don't contribute and are just "there to fulfill the federal quota system". They have long called for the federal character "thing" to be abolished. Well on a light note, now that it has been "somewhat" done away with, they are still wailing. That's why they say be careful of what you wish for because you may just get it.

I said in an post earlier today and let me repeat it here. I am a Yoruba - proud one at that. But what did we gain when OBJ/Bankole were in their respective offices? Same goes for people from David Mark and Ekwerumadu's village. Now we have the VP and two slots in HOR, are we supposed to be happy just because our sons are their? Is that our dividends? OBJ our son sunk billions into PHCN without much to show. Now PMB is less than 100 days in office and we have recorded highest electricity transmission in our history. There are many more examples that I am sure you are aware of.

The point I am making is it will be nice for PMB to follow federal character but that should be a secondary requirement. The main thing is to get the job done - even if it means choosing his team from one village. Will the people of Ogoni care about having their son in power now that PMB has given the order to clean their land? A feat their son could do in six years?

We are in emergency situation to correct the rot created by 16 years of pdp misrule. we need to reduce corruption, win the war against insurgency, we need good health care, education and other social amenities. This is not the time to give federal character priority.

And BTW, there are still other appointments to made.
