List Of Heads Of Uniformed Agencies That Were Appointed By President Obasanjo
https://www.nairaland.com/6575166/list-heads-uniformed-agencies-appointed#6575166.8

In recent weeks there has been a campaign by some people who claim that President Olusegun Obasanjo was discriminatory in the appointment of heads of security and safety agencies during his tenure. They claim that he did not appoint people from certain geo-political zones, ethnic groups or religions to head security or safety agencies during his tenure.

Why Attack Buhari, All IGP During Obasanjo Tenure Were All Yorubas

History Of Chief Of Army Staff Appointments From 1999 Till Date


Their claim that President Olusegun Obasanjo was discriminatory in the appointment of heads of security and safety agencies during his tenure is obviously false. I believe that those that are making these claims are trying to justify President Buhari's appointments. They usually select just one position and use that as an example (no president can appoint people from every state, zone, religion or ethnic group into just one position), but their claim that President Obasanjo was selective or discriminatory is false and this will be shown by the list below.


I compiled a list of the people that President Obasanjo appointed to head such agencies, but I later deleted the list because I believe that people should be appointed based on merit rather than their state of origin, ethnicity or religion. However, these people have continued to make these false claims, so it's necessary to set the record straight. Here is the list.

Now I'm regretting.

It seems that there's some kind of campaign to distort facts and claim that President Obasanjo was sectional in his appointment of heads of the uniformed services in order to justify President Buhari's appointments.

There was a very similar thread a few weeks ago and after countering the nonsense on that thread, I wrote a list of the heads of all the uniformed services during Obasanjo's tenure and it was obvious that it cut across all sections of the country. I regret deleting that list, but I will compile it again.

However, as I wrote earlier, I believe that there is a deliberate campaign to distort facts and claim that President Obasanjo was sectional in his appointment of heads of the uniformed services in order to justify President Buhari's appointments. It can't be a coincidence that this thing keeps popping up. This was the last attempt.

Sagtop:
Should i list those Southern Christians appointed by Buhari tin his cabinet & other parastatals too or i should off the mic. Reply

I can list 50 to 100.

Your attempt to change the subject when you are caught lying will not work. I never said anything about Buhari appointing Christians. I am addressing your obvious lies that Obasanjo did not appoint southern Muslims or South-Westerners into his government or into his security positions because they did not vote for him. That is a lie and you know it.

Sagtop:
Yes, But was never a fan of Southern Muslims

Sagtop:
Because He Saw them as enemies, they didn't vote for him, just like you easterner didnt vote for bubu. OBJ concentrated on those that voted for him. North, South East & Soutj South. Tell me one landmark project executed by OBJ in his region?

A farm was handed over to a private company called Promasidor, the private company invested $5 million in reviving the farm. People were employed, equipment was bought, cows were brought in from Maiduguri and the US.

This company makes some of the most popular milk brands in Nigeria (Cowbell and Loya Milk).

Yet, a definition of ignorance says that the government spent $5 million to import cows from the US!!

KAI! NAIRALAND!

Anyway, people have the right to state their views, no matter how silly they are.

Nigeria: 'Abaya' - Kano Varsity Apprehends 17 Male Students Over Harassment of Female Colleague

By Zahraddeen Yakubu Shuaibu
27 MAY 2021


The Kano University of Science and Technology (KUST) has apprehended 17 students for allegedly harassing a female student who wore the free flowing Arabian dress popularly known as Abaya.

A video that went viral on the social media showed how the lady was circled by a group of students who were harassing and mocking her with chants of 'Mai Abaya'.

The Vice Chancellor of the University, Professor Shehu Alhaji said following reports of harassment by the gang of male students, the institution's management has taken action and already identified some of them and decisive penalty will be slam on them.

He said the University has constituted a Committee to identify the "unscrupulous Students" involved and recommend immediate disciplinary action to be taken against the culprits without delay to serve as deterrent to others.

Daily Trust reports that since the inception of the Abaya Challenge by social media users, several women have been subjected to harassment mostly by youth and teenage boys.

During the Eid-el-Fitr Sallah celebration, many women said they could not put on the dress because they saw the humiliation suffered by those that wore it.

At inception, the challenge gained acceptance but things took a new turn after the insinuation that ladies who put it on must have sold their virtues to buy it, because the dress is relatively expensive.

Recently in Kano, Daily Trust observed that significant numbers of ladies wearing Abaya were subjected to ridicule in the public.

This was to the extent that a lady was seen crying after being harassed by some young men. She was later rescued by an elderly person.

Aminu Yusuf, who wore it during the Sallah celebration, said she regretted using it.

"You know how women are generally; they don't want anything negative that will generate people's attention towards them. That was what happened to me during Sallah. If not that I don't always care about what people are doing, I would have engage in a fight with them (some boys).

"My Abaya is now at the extreme end of my set of cloth and I will wear it only after this challenge is over," she said.

It's probably because they have the same melody.

This is a video of the Ondo State Executive Council singing the Ondo State Anthem before their meeting.

The best part is that 6 of our Jersey cows are now delivering 150 litres of milk per day, compared to 50 litres from 40 indigenous cows. Tells me we will soon hit the 1,000 litre/day mark.

Popped into Ikun Dairy Farm yesterday with my friends. Our cows have started calving. We now have two female calves, the second was born only yesterday.

(Naptu2's comment. This caused a stir because one of the cows escaped and was wandering round the Murtala Muhammed Airport while workers tried to capture it).

Update: 250 cows arrived this morning, for onward delivery to Ikun Dairy Farm Limited; a JV between @ekitistategov and @PromasidorGroup. We now have 300 jersey cows, and almost 500 in total. We moo-ve!

Got 41 of c. 250 heifers in today, due to their weight (mostly pregnant) and available cargo space. Hope to get the other 200+ in very soon. Another tiny milestone hit.
