Lies of the highest order unfolding, using escapist technique to run away from the killings they have been perpetuating, God will pay u guys ur evil.

This is exactly what we told them, the chances of a failure in class doing well in office is equal to zero, but the wouldn't believe us, now we are wrecked and can't complain.

Am a living testimony to the first step, it happened to me but I was lucky that my window was not lock all, I just have to use the tool to open the door.

Confirmed.

One of the deadliest town in KD God help us.

With last week’s appointment of Mr Ibrahim Idris as the Acting Inspector-General of Police, President Muhammadu Buhari further made the headship of virtually all the military-cum-defence agencies and related agencies which wear uniform a Northern affair.

show the following: Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, North; Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, North; Acting Inspector General of Police, Mr Ibrahim Idris, North; Minister of Defence, Brig Gen (retd) Mansur Dan Ali, North; National Security Adviser, Major Gen (retd.) Babagana Munguno, North; Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr Ibrahim Magu, North; Director-General, Department of State Services, Mr Lawal Daura, North; Comptroller-General of Nigeria Customs Service, Col Hameed Ali (retd.), North; Comptroller-General, Nigerian Immigration Service, Mr Kure Abeshi, North; Controller-General, Nigerian Prisons Service, Alhaji Ja’afaru Ahmed, North; Commandant-General, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Mr Abdullahi Muhammadu, North; Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps, Brig Gen Sule Kazaure, North; Comptroller-General of the Federal Fire Service , Mr Garba Anebi, North.

If it is recalled that the Minister of Interior, Lt. Gen. Abdulrahman Damazzau (retd.), under whose ministry are Prisons Service, Immigration Service, Fire Service and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, is also from the North, then the Ministry of the Interior with its agencies is virtually controlled by the North in clear breach of the Federal Character policy enshrined in the constitution.




Furthermore, even though it was not Buhari that did it, yet for the first time in the history of Nigeria, all the three arms of government are headed by Northerners: Executive, President Muhammadu Buhari; Legisture, Dr Bukola Saraki; and Judiciary, Justice Mahmud Mohammed.

In addition, the two arms of the legislature are headed by Northerners: Dr Bukola Saraki, Senate President, and Mr Yakubu Dogara, Speaker, House of Representatives.

Currently, the three levels of the law courts are headed by Northerners: The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is Justice Mahmud Mohammed (North); the President of the Court of Appeal is Justice Zainab Adamu Bulkachuwa (North); while the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court is Justice Ibrahim Auta (North). It should be recalled that in 2015, Buhari appointed Alhaji Abubakar Malami as the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, also from the North.

Furthermore, the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, which supervises the conduct of national and state elections, is also a Northerner: Prof. Mahmood Yakubu. The unwritten code used to be that the President of the country would appoint someone from a different zone (different language, different religion) as the INEC Chairman to give a sense of balance and increase the believability in the “independence” of INEC. That was why many people raised their voices when Buhari appointed Yakubu, who is from Bauchi State, just one state away from Buhari’s Katsina State, as the INEC boss; for even though Bauchi is grouped under the North-East, it is not seen as being culturally and religiously different from Katsina. It is like a President from the South-East appointing an Igbo from Delta State or Rivers State as INEC Chairman because Delta and Rivers are technically in the South-South, or a President from the South-West appointing a Yoruba from Kwara and Kogi as INEC Chairman on the grounds that Kwara and Kogi are in the North.

The argument of those who support this dangerous precedent is that what matters is getting those who are qualified and who will get the required results. But that argument is baseless. Statistics show that the North does not come close to the South in education and manpower. Year after year, statistics from the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board show that any pair of Imo State and Delta or Imo State and Ogun or Imo State and Anambra produces more candidates than the 19 states of the North. State-by-state performance statistics in senior secondary school examination from NECO and WASSCE also show that no Northern state usually appears among the top 10 states. Admission into Unity Schools follows the same trend. That is why the least cut-off marks are given to Northern states. However, competent hands can be found in abundance from all zones and states of Nigeria.

In addition, if it does not matter where office holders come from, why didn’t Buhari choose popular politicians like Kwankwaso, Atiku Abubakar, Nasiru el-Rufai or Aminu Tambuwal, all fellow Northerners, as his running mate? He knew that if he had done that, he would have lost the election, no matter how “qualified, clean and popular” he and his running mate were. These two points testify to the fact that Buhari benefited from zoning and balancing of offices.

Furthermore, our constitution states that federal appointments must reflect federal character. Buhari has only reflected that in the appointment of ministers. In other appointments, he has disregarded that aspect of our constitution that he swore to uphold.

The danger in this is that in future, a Southern President may decide to do something worse than what Buhari is currently doing. If any part complains, they will be given ample evidence of how it was done in the past by Buhari and many people rationalised it. In addition, a diverse country like Nigeria needs the President to take actions and make statements that show that he treats all parts of the country equally. Much of the tension and crisis in the country today can be attributed to the obvious unfairness that Buhari has displayed in his one year in office. A President with an all-inclusive orientation would have won over the majority of those who did not even vote for him within his six months in office. But Buhari’s actions show that he does not care. He seems to say: “You can say whatever you like or do whatever you like, it will not stop me from carrying on the way I like.”

One of the points those who opposed Buhari’s presidential ambition raised against him was that given his antecedents, he would not be fair to all Nigerians based on ethnicity and religion. By his actions and utterances, he has not proved that view wrong. This does not augur well for the unity, peace and progress of the nation.

Even some Northern groups and personalities like Alhaji Balarabe Musa, a former Kaduna State governor; Alhaji Tanko Yakassai, Chairman of the Northern Elders Forum; and Dr Junaid Mohammed, Convener of the Coalition of Northern Politicians, academics, professionals and businessmen, who see the bigger picture and the inherent danger in this trend, have raised their voices against this trend by Buhari.

As the President of Nigeria, Buhari is like the father of the nation. A father who loves his home and wants the peace and progress of that home avoids actions and utterances that will show he favours some children and create a gulf among his children.

Deceptive act, nothing good about her hajj cos it can't bring food to the poor & it can't grow our economy.

This is a foolish statesman who is a fanatic.

Good Nurse, God bless the work of your hands.

Well said, this is not the type of change Nigerians yearn for, Buhari may u have ear to listen.......

The Northern Muslims are always justifying their evil act, Boko Haram was justified, kidnapping teenages justified, converting young christians justified, fulani headsmen killing justified, and some goats will even justify that Islam is a religion of peace, while every part of this world is ablaze as a result of Islam, may evil religion never triumph over good religion in Jesus name.

I dey laugh ooopoo, no wander Sai Baba get ear problem. Too many problems..

Third straight week without light, very unfortunate, and some people will still be shouting Sai Baba!
Hhhhhhhh
Sai Baba : Sai Poverty

The women deserve to go through what this innocent boy is going through, these women will never find peace.

This is a good omen for all who voted Sai Baba, they are suffering more than us now, while smiling and trekking in bitterness.

I hate men I don't think I will get married to one

You need to forgive yourself for hating men, you can't use one instance and generalized on other, Pray to God to have a right Man.

We were managing with small devil Jona with about 5mega watts till big devil Buhari come with about 2mega watts even zero some times, it's only God that will deliver us from this chains.......

This woman is untouchable as Sanusi said, but now she should face the law not minding how sick she is.

Their is no justification for evil act of cheating, I wonder why such act from men is normal and from women that becomes taboo.

Nigerians should prepare for times, Nigerians will never learn to do things at the right time, except through the hard way, politicians will always paint a good policy bad one, how I wish we are out of this long during Obj or Gej period.

" I dey laugh oooooo "

Hardship mode activated, Nigerians should prepare for the worst days.

Absolutely rubbish, No matter the weakness of a woman their dignity should be uphold.

Rubbish, People should learn to respect the sacredness of sex.

The hausa/fulani is Nigeria greatest problem, fanaticism and tribalism ends there, I just hope they understand the damage they have done to this country.

Gone are those days, It was NITEL, these guys will just wait once it's 30th your line is off.....

I trust Sen. Sani, very few can make such donations.

Minister of Lies and Propaganda. This Man can lie his way to hell

TeeBills is showing how hungry he is, season 2 as it's unfolds.

As a Man if u can't meet your family needs, then u have lost your family, If u can't have self control over women, u are a shame, we need to learn from this.

What a consolation, I remain doubtful until it happens.

Good Job.
