Buhari must have a rethink if he must come back for his second term.He will still meet us and let's see how he will deceive us the second tym.President of the northern republic.

Well, I don't think Buhari is thinking of any second term. I believe he just wants to consolidate power in the hands of northerners and then bow out.

coolitempa:
As someone who strongly backed change.......I must say I am feeling very short-changed at the moment..... .....How can you claim to want to be President of Nigeria and then claim you are only able to work with people from your section of the country.....All his campaign promises are being backtracked on and no new policies have been tendered or are being suggested.....All we have heard is to fight corruption even that one.....we never see nada.....

Thanks for being frank.

Keneking:

'If i loose the 2015 election, the monkeys and the baboons will all be soaked in blood'--- Buhari 2015. So, this is ecouraging Nigerian unity.

Don't mind them.

It is Buhari that is threatening national unity with his tribalism, not Fayose.

Excellent. I hope this article is brought to the attention of the tribalist we have as president.

Good move there. Nigeria is not Buhari's private property. At least the decision on the case will help to set a precedent that will guide future presidents of the country.

The words of our elders are words of wisdom. Damage is done. I hope the gullible ones will learn from their mistake and vote wisely in 2019.

Governor Fayose always on point. Always saying it as he sees it.
Buhari is an unrepentant tribalist.

Bunch of fraudsters, making election promises they know they cannot fulfill just to deceive Nigerians and win votes. They are now making excuses.

They organise taekwondo class at Apapa Club on Park Lane, Apapa GRA.

SenseiX:
That awkward moment even the president's party knows his appointments were lopsided yet the resident sycophants would stretch the limits of idiocy to defend it

Don't mind the annoying fools. No reasonable person would support the lopsided appointments in an ethnically diverse country like Nigeria.

ladyF:
Let us exercise patience....It may not be as bad as it looks.

Most important thing is for the appointees to get the job done. Nigeria shall be great again

Are you guys not yet tired of that line "most important thing is for the appointees to get the job done."?
So its ok for a president of the country to be openly tribalistic.

It's disheartening to hear about some terrible things our police do to innocent people. But I wonder why people do not try to put in complaints to appropriate quarters.
If I experience this type of atrocity, as soon as I am free and I am able to recognize the culprits or their police station, I will go straight to the Area Commander, or to the Commissioner's office. Usually, the higher up the officer, the more reasonable they are.

Good. This is the type of task the DSS under Mr. Daura should engage themselves with instead of getting involved in what does not concern them.

This is the height of mismanagement of the people's resources. Amaechi should be made to refund the money to Rivers State.
Buhari should distance himself from Amaechi.
What a waste.

[size=16pt]Tinubu, Amaechi, Fashola, Lai, Oshiomole, Okorocha, etc, all people wen carry broom for west, were una dey? Una don run go inside una shells after una don impose Buhari to carry broom? Una tink sey buhari carry broom wit una with d same mind abi? Na now that centre rope dat hold the broom sticks go begin lose for una surprise. Una neva see anytin. Dis one na d beginning. Dem sey once beaten, twice shy. The yorubas no go ever learn. Follow! Follow!!. The Afeniferes, I thank una. Una talk, but Tinubu and Obasanjo followers nor hear. As d appointment dey go one side, na so employment of our youths go also go oneside. My people 4rm the south, make una ready 4 jobless situation. Una go see. Make una wash.[/size]

My respect for the wise elders of Afenifere and Ohaneze. I was actually leaning towards voting for Buhari because I was really disappointed with GEJ. And then I read Chief Ayo Adebanjo's interview and made a U-turn. Glad I did.

I wonder why they are keeping the name of the middle eastern company secret.

If dem fry this one now with tire people go dey shout #No2junglejustice.



I bet he stays around the neighbourhood,he shouldnt beso hard to find.abeg tell us when he has been apprehended,see as him dey walker confidently like say na him papa house

Exactly. He must be living in the neighbourhood. They should print out the picture and paste around the neighborhood. Someone who knows him will recognize him.

sarutobie:
The southern efulefus will be like " as long as they are competent"..naive mumus..only the northerners have competent men abi? but when it comes to school cut off marks and admission they remember federal character? chaii..this is the same way Esau sold his birthright over a bowl of porridge without even being aware..when he realized his mistake it was already late..

Too many naïve people in this country.

dckng16:
Hey peeps, I just got an info from a very reliable and impeccable source that PMB is only keeping us on suspense. Come September 2015 the ministerial list will be balanced, it will be made up of all tribes hausa, yoruba, IBO and other tribes. So the wailing wailers should stop wailing. .

Our constitution requires that each state must produce a minister. So, for the ministerial list, Buhari has no choice but to appoint from every state. So he is not "keeping us on suspense".

yongnoble:
All of a sudden, these APC folks are claiming competency is much more important than Federal character. Few months ago, they posted this ad on a national newspaper.


Let's look at the bright side, the federal character law seems to be abolished. I hope this long awaited call for abandoning the 'almighty' federal character that the North has used to rub us of for all these years has come to stay.

What the APC is failing to understand is that within as short while, 4 years would be over and new elections would suffice. Should a southerner win and begin to reciprocate by appointing only 'competent' southerners, they shouldn't cry foul because first to do, e no dey pain....

Don't mind those supporting tribalism by a president. They are actually unwittingly shooting themselves on the foot. The north is inadvertently abolishing federal character. We should play along and ensure that federal character is dead and buried. Buhari will not be president forever.

Buhari's tribalism might actually provide an opportunity for progressive minded people to campaign for scrapping of federal character for good. We need to do away with it.

skywalker495:
Seems dem northeners are d only competent THIEVES in diz zoo...sowi kwantri

Well...since we all voted for diz y d complaints??

Who are the "we"?. I did not vote Buhari. From his past I knew he would be tribalistic in the governance of Nigeria. So I am not surprised.

Emekamex:
My own is that northerners shouldn't make noise and kill people as they usually do if a southern president in the future only appoints people from his region in the name of competence.

You bet that they will destroy the country if a southern president does the same thing Buhari is doing.

AZeD1:
It might look like that but i don't really care. You cannot solve problems with the same mentality that created the problems and ethnicity is what led us down this road we are.

I hope you continue not to care when another president after Buhari starts appointing only his tribe because, supposedly, they are the ones he trusts.
Nigerians and hypocrisy.

blueButtocks:
There are more appointments coming. Let's be patient.


Truth be told, I think Buhari is trolling the Tanoids. Even the most ardent of Buhari's haters would have been shocked by the announcements today. It was completely unexpected. This nigga really gives no Bleep.

For once, we have a leader who understands what it means to be President. A man who survived a coup and lost 3 elections really has it all to prove. And he will only appoint those whom he trusts. I only hope he applies a little wisdom in his next appointments to douse the tension of ethnic sentiments that's beginning to fester.

So he only trusts fellow northerners right? He is setting an interesting precedent. He would not be president forever.

blackpanda:
Only a fool will pretend not to see the link between this ridiculous kangaroo court and the investigations by efcc into shady deals.

The senate (saraki) is clearly going to bea huge obstacle in buhari's anti corruption crusade.

Who cares if there is a link? Lamorde & co have a serious corruption case to answer.

Story. Whether the petition was engineered by Senator Saraki or not is irrelevant. The question is: Is the EFCC boss Mr. Lamorde guilty as charged?
He needs to respond to the petition. Nobody is above the law.

nonebutme:
Fashola is not being accused of anything. It is surprising that on one hand some of us call for transparency and accountability in government and yet turn around to call it a witch-hunt. These projects are all approved and completed, hence there is no reason why LASG tenders board shouldn't put them on its website. It is left for those who see anything fishy to come out with their proof, rather than trying to set the former governor against his successor.

Before you blame Tinubu or Ambode, it was Fashola himself who gave the directive that contracts bidded, awarded and excuted be published on the website.

Are you kidding me? Those contracts are clearly inflated. I have always felt that there is massive corruption in Lagos State. With the huge internally generated revenue realized every month, you can hardly find any decent road in Lagos. Fashola's performance has always been on the pages of newspapers and tvs/radios. He should not be rewarded with federal appointment. It would send the wrong moral message.

Kudos to the Iwealas for investing in Nigeria. I hope the hospital project comes to fruition. Other moneyed Nigerians should emulate them. We need more world class hospitals like this.

The way Nigerians spread rumours amazes me. And they will be talking as if they are 100% sure. Even a senior military friend of mine based in Abuja was telling me about how the ex president was always drunk and I believed. And now this rebuttal coming from someone that should know. Jeez.
