Seriously aside the media parapazzi by the new COAS ,how is the current war faring under him? Is it any better than during GEJ's time? More people havve been killed on daily average under buhari than under GEJ including the about 100 killed in the last few days!!!

Buhari has not really done much to stem the tide of killings!!! Lets just quit the propaganda and face the real truth.

Now terrorists only attack soft targets using innocent looking teenage girls as suicide bombers. That's more difficult to handle. Under GEJ they were running down our soldiers, collecting their weapons and taking over local governments, we had a sizeable part of our territory (as large as the size of Belgium) under the control of terrorists for months. You can't even compare at all.

Eh! Eh! You want make Forbes remove Dangote from their list of richest black men?

so you are happy with the reinstatement of a man who aided and abetted enemies of nigeria?

and you have evidence to prove this? You Sidon for your house dey know person wey "aided an abetted enemies of nigeria" shey. Besides, police service commission is chaired by Mike Okiro not Buhari.

The only reason why GEJ could not fight BH was lack of political will and corruption. His cabinet members and military chiefs were feeding fat on funds meant for prosecution of the war and I'd be surprised if he wasn't aware, he probably thought that the insurgency in the north will work to his favor in terms of votes not knowing that God had other plans. Don't tell me that crap about USA refusing to sell weapons to us. Where did the military get the weapons they used taking the bloody terrorists down few weeks before the election? For six years you knew you had alternative means of getting weapons yet you allowed our gallant soldiers to suffer and die for nothing dismissing or giving death sentences to those who dare to challenge the system.

Thank God we now have a leader in Baba who has genuine consign for the country and her people (citizens of the north east and our courageous military men in theater of war). Looking at our new service chiefs you will know these men know exactly what to do and how to get it done. The chief Army staff in particular leads his troop on the field and not from and an ac tight office somewhere in Abuja.

They're lucky I'm not the president, I would have scrapped the NDDC kpata kpata sef.. mcheeww.. Shey no be wen agency exist e dey get board? Let me hear what the bloody looters will say.

After now una go dey yarb Okorocha say he refuse to wash hand wey he use shake Obama

Oga, we don't want a world-class economic team. World class team don't put food on the table of a wheel barrow pusher. We want a local economic team that can alleviate poverty among our people. This goes to show that GEJ never knew what he was doing, he only relied on the big names on his "economic team".

Very BIG lie from the pit of hell! I know that junction very well. The traffic lights never go off

When will mama peace declare her's?

friends and colleagues from every part of the nation and some of my best friends are not even from my side of the country.

However, recent events are making me to have a deeper reflection and I wish we- Southerners in this instance- can have some kind of introspection. Out of 25 appointments made so far, 18 are from the North, 3 are from the South West, 4 are from the South South while the South East has ZERO appointments. A tweet which I saw today stated that “southerners are only competent when it’s time for elections but northerners are competent in terms of governance” and this made the following thoughts run through my mind:

1. Only Southerners have been accusing fellow Southerners of corruption. Oshiomole has been attacking Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as if Ngozi turned down his marriage proposal. The same Oshiomole tried to make nonsense of Akinwumi Adeshina’s successes in the agriculture sector. Ambode tried to pull Fashola down and successfully smeared him with stains. Maybe that’s why Fashola did not get the Chief of Staff role. I’m yet to see a Northerner accuse another Northerner of corruption, even when they belong to different parties. The closest a Northerner got was when the new Kano State Governor attacked Rabiu Kwankaso but he quickly sheathed his sword and even disowned previous reports of attacks. Why are we like this?

2. Are Southerners the only ones who are corrupt? Were there no northerner heading the ministries and parastatals? Did the outgone Comptroller-General of Customs, Abdullahi Dikko not have an alleged case of certificate forgery but he still served out his tenure until he resigned voluntarily? I’m not in support of corruption under any guise but the fight against corruption must not be seen to be sectional.

3. How come it’s easier for the President to believe that Sanni Abacha was not corrupt in spite of recovered loot while it is so easy for him to believe Goodluck Jonathan is irredeemably corrupt?

4. I still remember that aside from God, Tinubu made Tambuwal what he is today. The same Tambuwal would later call Femi Gbajabiamila ‘incompetent’ and rated Dogara as more competent. The same Tambuwal was propped up by Tinubu, a Southerner against a fellow Southerner, Mulikat Akande. Obasanjo was very key to denying Goodluck Jonathan a second term. A good number can still recall how OBJ tore his PDP membership card in public glare. The Northerners find it easy to support themselves but we are always pulling ourselves down. Babangida Aliyu, Sule Lamido and all the other Northern Governors including the former PDP Chairman Adamu Muazu often times refused to campaign for Goodluck Jonathan openly and many times even espoused the virtues of the opposing candidate on the rostrum!

5. Southern leaders and Presidents pull down Southern business men but prop up Northern ones. How many people still remember how Obasanjo ran Mike Adenuga out of town but both Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan made Aliko Dangote what he is today. No northern leader goes against their own. I dare to put it on record that President Buhari will never go against Aliko Dangote for any reason.

6. How come OBJ pardoned Salisu Buhari, the ex-Speaker who forged his credentials and he later was given an appointment as a Governing Council member of a University and heavens did not fall- but when Goodluck Jonathan pardoned Alamieyeseigha it became one of the major issues counted against him? Is there one rule for some and another rule for others?

7. We find it easy to raise our voices in support of the deportation of Buruji Kashamu but have no qualms with Atiku Abubakar strutting around the corridors of power.

8. Only Southerners find it so easy to abuse their elders when they voice opinions not in tandem with the popular opinion. We find it easy to diss Afenifere elders and call them ‘Afenifebi’ while hurling expletives and curses at them. We even abuse our kings and priests. Northerners will never abuse an Emir no matter how unpopular what he said is. Can you imagine any Northerner raising his voice against the Sultan? In spite of Tanko Yakassai, Balarabe Musa and Dangiwa Umar’s perceived support for Jonathan, northern youths did not abuse them. But our own youths run down our elders on social media while our educated elite also support the act.

These are some of the thoughts that have been running through my mind. I don’t pretend to have all the answers and I do this at the risk of being labelled an ethnic bigot. The point however is that Southerners have to get their acts right. We have to put our house in order. The bickering must stop. Let’s engage our emotional intelligence. Let’s not allow others to exploit our tendency to self-destruct.

Nonsense thoughts. When southerners occupied the juicy positions under GEJ what did they do for you?

I go leave am for God.

Is dis not dat girl with big yansh?

No wonder she got pregnant.. confirm olodo! "Handwriting"

The man dey always look like love-vendor or someone in 419 business But he is very sound, though he usually supports policies that favours the rich.

I need him pin sharply. I get wetin to tell am.

This man is a true leader who is respected by all. He has kept the list of people he wants to work with a secret for 3 months and nobody can say he/she knows what is in his mind.. Unlike one president I use to know that usually gets his speeches leaked online before he reads it to the nation.

GEJ was never in charge of anything. Nigeria was running on autopilot under him.

Rip to u man
.. U disadvantages had popular that most people of around you.....

weed dis early morning

Baba loves his family so much I can tell. He use every opportunity he gets to flaunt his handsome and beautiful kids and grand kids. Funny enough, all his children and grandchildren took his looks.. the man strong all round

Toktee:
Thunder fire you,,don't even go there ok.

see wetin all these useless peadophiles don cause ba. Person no fit use church mind admire person pikin again o.. Congrats bro.

Dis one na comedy?

MsRemarkable:
I don't know o, but I thinks Booboo is trying.

mama peace?

Lol.. They have achieved their aim already. The whole world now knows the woman's Congo is been shined by a divorcee who is not married to her.

Do we lament over their dominance of marathons and other long distance races? Dem better face front jor or better still go mop Lagos Lagoon. For dis music matter we dey generate power like a mikano.. Na we be kingkong.

I'm sure he didn't design the flag for free. I'm sure he had many productive years after designing the flag to use his fame to get jobs, favours, etc. I'm sure he has adult children whom he trained. We all agree government has been bad (before Baba came in) but we shouldn't blame them all the time.

Each time I hear "Jega", the only other word that comes to my mind is "Orubebe".

I see "Federal character" in the list of retirees.

Just what the customs need.. A NON-NONSENSE man.

Carry on Baba.. Do not let us down. Slow and steady wins the race.

Av been noticing positive news about Nigerians abroad since change don arrive. Glad abt dis

Buhari is the man to thank. #bodyLanguage

dBard:
I frankly don't know what the hullabaloo is all about
This is more or less a summary of what the yet to be verified assets will be.
Also taking it with a pinch of salt, not with the no of reversals of previous statements we've bin having.
This is neither an official statement from the seat of the presidency nor is it consigned by the president.
It is more or less a prose by d spokesman on what to expect.
Will rather wait
