useless government.

The Government of the north, by the north and for the North. Buhari has not been fair in his appointment. Well, We are hoping for better Nigeria after this regime.

The game North is playing is very crazy.... They want to render the next Southern President useless and control him at will

North has more DIG and AIG than South so the next IG of police would mostly likely remain a Northerner for a long time

List of Military Generals it's also filled with Northerners

.

Southern Nigeria is the most foolish region in Africa.

Since 1999 till now, south has ruled more than the North,yet ,just in few years they have taken over the whole sector without remorse.


Nigeria can never work ,quote me. The Injustice is too glaring,and the north is pursuing this dominance with rigour

When the North were joining civil service (army, police, judiciary), the South were going to school....this is the aftermath

God bless Nigeria. God bless president Buhari

Can a leopard ever change its spot the people I pity most are those expecting buhari to hand power to them

You mean the north has more (capable) lawyers than the south?
Mean while, we hardly see a northern lawyer been employed by a northerner when they have a serious court case.

This is how you people are struggling to set Nigeria on fire with fake news. The truth is as below, government only filled vacant positions as a result of death or retirement.

*CAN’S CAMPAIGN OF CALUMNY ON THE SHORLISTED JUSTICES
OF THE COURT OF APPEAL*

The attention of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) has
been drawn to the insinuations and vituperations that trailed the shortlisting of 20
Justices-designate by the Federal Judicial Service Commission (FJSC). It would be
noted that except it is compelled to do so, the Council has often resisted joining issues with the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) as a matter of principle.

This is because CAN has proved, times without number, its morbid hatred for
Islam and Muslims, its remarkable capacity for destructive mischief, its dexterous
use of scurrilous propaganda and its predilection for always being economical with
the truth as part of the sinister strategy of heating up the polity anytime a Muslim is at the helm of affairs.

It would be recalled that not too long ago, the Council was forced to expose the
marginalisation of Muslims in the successive Boards of the Nigerian Television
Authority (NTA) after CAN made one of its wild and mendacious allegations of
Christian marginalisation. It is actually a wicked strategy and unholy tactics to
accuse Muslims of marginalisation though Muslims are the ones being deliberately and systemically marginalised by Christians, who continue to consolidate on the colonial agenda of emasculating Muslims. However, NSCIA would not allow the serial falsehood of CAN and its propensity for character assassination of people on the basis of their religious identity to stand because truth is irrefragable.
To wit, the intransigence of CAN is playing out again in the deliberate distortion of the issues surrounding the shortlisted 20 Justices-designate. The grouse of CAN, as amplified by some hagiographers masquerading as opinion leaders, is that 13 of the 20 recently shortlisted Justices are from the North and are Muslims. Though the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem, on her honour stated unequivocally that the procedure of the appointment followed “due and
usual process” and that the recommendation “was done without any preference for tribe, creed or association”, mischief makers, ethnic jingoists and religious bigots resorted to blackmail. In venting their spleen against the development, CAN especially and its apologists choose to ignore the fact that Muslims are a minority in the religious composition of the Court of Appeal. In a statement filled with bile and bigotry, the so-called religious body expressed its “feelings of sadness, disgust and anger at the insensitivity demonstrated by the FJSC in compiling the list. It seems undeniable that the recklessness displayed by the FJSC suggests a steady and gradual descend (sic) to (sic) a process of Islamising the Judiciary of Nigeria.”
The unassailable truth is that Justices of the Court of Appeal (JCAs) are 70 but the North with 19 States has 34 while the South with 17 States has 36. The South thus has more JCAs than the North. Meanwhile, out of the 36 JCAs from the South West (where Muslims are a majority), South East and South South (in both of which Muslims have considerable indigenous populations), all the JCAs are Christians except for Justice Habeeb Adewale Abiru of Lagos state and Justice Mistura Bolaji-Yusuf of Oyo state. But in the three geo-political zones of the North where Muslims are predominant, there are 34 JCAs out of which 15 are Christians. In other words, the North East has 4 Muslim JCAs and 7 Christians, the North Central has 6 Muslim JCAs and 7 Christians while the North West has 9 Muslim JCAs and 1 Christian JCA. Of the 36 from the South, only 2 are Muslims.

68 E. O. Williams-
Dawudu
Lagos South West Christian
69 Joseph O. Oyewole Osun South West Christian
70 Gabriel O. Kolawole Osun South West Christian

*Total South West: 11 Christians, 2 Muslims*

*Subtotal (Southern States): 34 Christians, 2 Muslims*

*Subtotal (Northern States plus FCT): 16 Christians, 18 Muslims*

*Grand Total of all JCAs: 50 Christians (71.4%), 20 Muslims
(28.6%)*

However, the three geopolitical zones of the South have only two Muslim JCAs
while the three geopolitical zones of the North have 15 Christian JCAs! Who is
wickedly intolerant?
The cacophony of Christian marginalisation that constitutes the sing-song of CAN
is a blatant lie, a deliberate distortion and a devilish strategy of shedding crocodile
tears or crying while flogging Muslims with bare-faced oppression and systemic
repression in Nigeria. Though religion preaches love, honesty, sincerity, tolerance,
good neighbourliness and kindness, among other virtues, CAN has succeeded in creating a Nigerian version of Christianity which is anchored on morbid hatred, undisguised dishonesty, caustic insincerity, religious intolerance, perennial hostility and outright wickedness. If CAN has its way, it would annihilate Muslims from Nigeria but one billion CANs of calumny unleashed against us cannot extinguish the light of Islam here and elsewhere, even if they try it!
This is the same strategy underpinning the needless hubbub over hijab in Kwara
state and elsewhere. It is given that the right to hijab is constitutionally guaranteed.
However, to CAN, constitutionality does not matter where intolerance festers and it has resorted to toe the path of violence. Section 38, Subsection 1 of the Nigerian Constitution (as amended in 2011) states categorically thus:

*Every person shall be entitled to freedom of thought, conscience and religion*… *(either alone or in community with
others, and in public and or in private) to manifest and propagate his religion or belief in worship, teaching practice and observance;*............

Trash, deceit and lies. Next time before Carrying out such deceitful analysis make sure you verify the initial spread or constituent of the Appeal court. Some of these states do not have judges in the appeal court either due to retirement or death. when appointments are then made does that means other States that have must be involve? Trash.

The northerners are appointed in almost every position in nigeria.what an unfavourable useless fulani govornment.
