Mallam that was deaf and dumb during Buhari's 8 year of fulani Muslim domination of key government posts has now found his voice to speak.

Allah is truly great. Now the dumb can speak.

Wonderful!

We are not kindergarten children here. Jonathan government favours his Niger Delta mostly and the SE. Yoruba didn't see anything from his government and that is the reason he was booted out.
No he was removed because people believed propaganda from Tinubu supporters, but most Nigerians now know better. It will never happen again

In the group, someone would post customs news in hausa language and we all thought that only hausas dominated the Nigeria customs service and no one complained, we were only asking for interpretation

Let's go across all the parastatas and all agencies of government let's do head counts and balance the tribes under employment even according to states, many northerners will be dropped, do you want to talk of the army, Navy and Air Force, even in the customs, let me even ask, why should only North have 19 states out of 36, south east just 5 and west just 5, when bauchi, Jigawa, zamfara, and gombe states combined are not even up to OYO state. These northerners always think they're wise

I can bet my life, the former CG who is hausa fulani would have packed that place up wuth his people from 2015 to 2023....hence the need to balance things up with more southerners brought into the service.

Same thing would have happened in the Army, DSS, Police, Navy, EFCC, Air Force etc.

The propaganda machine of Oshiomhole’s Assembly of Past Criminals, APC really did a great job on our tribal mindset.

How we foiled Jonathan’s effort to make Mulika Adeola Speaker, Akande reveals

AS president in 2011, Goodluck Jonathan did all he could to ensure South West grabbed the country’s number four seat, including lobbying then opposition leaders from the zone, to no avail. The North West eventually grabbed the seat, supported by South West leaders in opposition to then ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Former Governor of Osun State and now statesman, Chief Bisi Akande, made this revelation in his autobiography, “My Participations” which is currently dominating political and national dis- course.

Aminu Tambuwal, now Sokoto State governor, won the seat, against the preferred pick of his party, Mrs Mulikat Adeola Akande, from the South-West. Defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, then a fledging opposition, which had Akande and his soulmate, former Lagos State governor, Senator Bola Tinubu, as front- line leaders, openly asked its elected members of the House of Representatives, mostly from the South-West, to work against their region and back Tambuwal from North-West.

The opposition party’s support carried Tambuwal through the contest against Akande, then ruling party’s favourite for the speakership seat.

In his book, Chief Akande revealed that former president then as incumbent, personally reached out to Tinubu, who is now believed to be nursing presidential aspiration in 2023 and himself, but couldn’t convince them.

He wrote, “President Jonathan, immediately after the meeting (with political parties), called Bola Tinubu aside into a lobby to broach the matter of ACN support for a choice of who would become the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

“That same day, President Jonathan talked to me on phone about the same matter. He disclosed that PDP had zoned the position to the South-West but that only one Muraina and another Mulika won elections on PDP ticket from the zone into the House of Representatives.

Buhari was years ahead in terms of appointments than this dolt. Not in support of Buhari, but at least, he appointed people from the northern region in droves!

But for the dolt ruling you now, the majority of his appointments are from the SW!

Who told you? GEJ didn't just allow SW to have the best positions like they always do that was why they hated him.

GEJ brought in some SE people to the fold (that angered SW people mostly) and also allowed North to have their usual dominance in terms of projects and appointments.

GEJ dared to level the playing ground, that's all.

SW has always benefited most from most Nigerian govts because because no matter how tribalised a Buhari and any Northerner can be, when they want to appoint a Southerner, they go to their SW moles.

Let me see the 2.5 million vote can make him president again. Good the north has rejected him

Una don start this nonsense talk again, u are really a child, what did south west not get from Jonathan? Are you referring to the speaker seat that Tinubu, made ty Ekiti woman loose in favour of Tambuwal the black sheep of the PDP then even when Jonathan supported the south west for the speaker role but Tinubu supported the North west(Tambuwal) that already had the Vice president (Sambo). I don't know where you are referring that Jonathan surcharged the south west, I have educated bigots like you in the past who use this scenario to say Jonathan surcharged the south west when it was your own god who fought Jonathan's Candidate from Ekiti just so he can have a narrative to feed gullible ones like you.

You better help yourself with history between 2011 to 2015 because you actually don't know nothing about Jonathan's regime.

The presidency out a Yoruba man to head the customs and this is the result.. The Northerners are crying because this has been their bread for years.

No he was removed because people believed propaganda from Tinubu supporters, but most Nigerians now know better. It will never happen again
No, he was removed, because he was a bad leader.

One thing that annoyed me about GEJ was you his supporters. Anytime boko haram constituted a problem there was always the excuse of his supporters that it was a 'plot' against the man. Constantly repeating that line essentially made him look weak, and incompetent...because if you are not solving the problem...no, if your'e not perceived to be solving the problem, but blaming it all on the opposition, it means that what you were voted for ...you can\'t do it. And what do you think Northerners that were bearing most of the brunt of boko bombs thought? Remember it was not just christians boko attacked ....(Even when GEJ brought in the russian and SA mercs...it was too too late. Minds were made up.)

Then he mishandled the oil boom. Yes. If we were borrwoing to pay salaries by the end of December 2014, that tells you that 1) no savings were made from the oil money 2) no diversfication of the economy. And you his supporters were blaming Amaechi and governors union....meanwhile , nothing was happening...Buck stops at leader's table, you dey blame Amaechi. Amaechi na president?

Corruption? E dey there. Remember auntie stella and auntie diezani, and uncle ATM Dasuki? You don't think Nigerians were blind.?

Even the 'good times' were due to oil boom. Yes, you youngsters have never lived under oil boom. Am old enough to remember the old oil boom of the 70's and 80's up to 1982. Yes, we enjoyed back then, N1 was One dollar, and foreign comics and books were dirt cheap here. Oil booms are also a unsustainable thing. Once oil prices fall, the economy goes bust...which is what happened under buhari (and which does not excuse him, because he got advice on what to do, and he should have learned from his first coming...but no). If GEJ had won in 2015, by now we would be saying he ran down a good economy, so count yourself fortunate that he lost in 2015, otherwise you no get mouth to defend am.


The only 'deceit' I would allow for was subsidy removal in 2012. It was in Nigeria';s best interest to remove subsidy, yet most people were decieving themselves it was better to keep it, even thought the warning signs were there as early as 2011 that it was costing far far too much.

GEJ was just tinubu with oil money.


Before you call me apc e-supporter, and tinubu agbero...look at the big picture. We too dey sell oil, and other things, and use the money to import consumer goods....instead of the stuff we need to make things that would be needed by the world. And every one of our leaders has done the same thing since independence. Fake life with resource dependency. Understand that, you will get why we have never had good leaders.
