After wrongfully giving Jonathan a bad name of Yoruba marginalisation just to hang him, and unleash APC extreme poverty shege on 200 million Nigerians?
Yorubas was marginalised throughout 5 years of Jonathan government. Na Igbo people filled Jonathan government. Everyone witnessed his government. Let Tinubu do his own too. Jonathan started it, buhari followed the same pattern, now Tinubu is continuing it.

The Kano man will never show us the data.....when Hammed Ali was CG for 8years, he bombarded the customs recruitment with people from the NW.

Let the Kano man show us the break down of the current Customs personnel by state of origin. The result will shock you. Hausa became official language of the customs during his time.

I beg plead with the Kano man to wait for his turn in 2031. If there is any imbalance, he can correct it then.

Let us have a breakdown of all the current personnel serving in the customs(NCS) based on states and geopolitical zones. angry

The FG is dull on issues like this angry

Rubbish.......did northern military rulers not share more than 60% 0f Nigeria 's 774 local government to the north.........did the northern military junta not give the north 19 states to the south's 17 states.........turning Ndigbo to overnight 'minority '.........ndiala !

The North should enjoy the inequity they helped to create! Ndi uchu

As I post this....Northerners are dying of hunger even in a rich state like Kano.........a region thst has produced more leaders.......I have scant pity for them.......Yorubas have not learnt from the North...they will be in the same boat very soon!

Was he complaining in the last recruitment drive? How many jobs are needed in Lagos? How many jobs are needed in the Northern States? Did he consider the literacy rate in the North? This idea of putting people. In positions based on numbers only is the reason we are where we are today .. the reason why do many illiterates hold office

How many graduates does the north have compared to the south first of all. And I mean quality graduates o! Not the ones that are just pushed through school for the sake of graduating.

Let KPMG do a proper aptitute test of 1000 students from each geopolitical zone. I can bet you graduates from North East and North West that would pass wont be more than 10%. Go to ICAN and get a list of all of their Chartered Accountants and lets see how many are from the North. But when it comes to government appointments you want equal footing.

All these years before Tinubu, is it not northerners that had majority in custom? Now, you can see how it feels now and what southerners had endured for years

Where are all the Quota System officers that were recruited into the Customs, Immigration, Civil Defense, NDLEA & Prisons during Buhari administration ?

You think we were all sleeping because we kept quiet? No! We knew our own turn too would come.

Tinubu is only following in the footsteps of the Commander General of Nepotism - Buhari.
grin grin

..monitoring spirits is watching you..you write & think like helll..anuis.. grin grin

..why are you now complaining of quota System under the darling daddy..whom you all from the Sw defended as he discarded federal character to favour Northerners & some yoruba people..

..you all said that " even if Buhari appoints only his family members..it is because he can önly work with people he knows..

..there was no cry of any of quota System..no cries of federal character..but now..so suddenly under your kinsman..the nepotistic & bigoted actions of darling daddy is buhari faults.. grin grin grin

..In order to defend the tribalism & parapoism of tilumbu..you have to go back to darling daddy era to swallow the lies of vomit..so much that you can justify the bigotry & nepotism of tilumbu...

When states were first created
They were 12
All other states have been split into at least 2 some 4 or more states

East Central is now 5 states
Lagos state is the only one of those 12 states that has not split and has only about 20 Local Government Areas

Yet it contributes most

Lagos state is most marginalised. If Lagos splits into 5 states it is okay

It is four times the land mass of Singapore
Are you saying Lagos is bigger than Singapore? Let me hear that again

1. WHAT HAS BE THE CONTRIBUTION OF ZANFARA ,etc,to National Development?
How come Zanfara State have more Local govt than some States in the East?
What has been the total Contributions of Jigsaw,Yobe,Zanfara,Nassarawa,Borno- to our Development?
Is is about Terrorists and Bandits Contributions - since their leaders called Yesufu-brought in Bokoham, during OBJ Era?
Kiss 😘 the TRUTH!
Na there them de catch you. If them begin give you wotowoto for north you start claiming south.

You conspired with Buhari to dethrone a southerner, praised Buhari for 8 straight years as the best, then condemned him as the worst soon after he left office. Backstabbers!

Tinubu supporters are not part of any south and will never be. Tueh!

They entire south east and south south got less than 200 slots....this extreme tribalism and yorubalization is pushing Nigeria to precipice!
I have said it severally,no tribe is half as tribalistic as Yorubas,get an employment in an office with majority Yorubas,you are finished,they will speak only their language to make sure you are put out of daily activities in that office,you will be most likely stagnated,infact you may be forced to sign your resignation and the next day one Bayo,that is a messenger in that office will be instantly elevated to takeover your position.
Just look at what is happening at the national level,thankGod all Nigerians are witnessing it firsthand.
It is worrisome when someone who claimed to be an educated person will swallow accusatin from a politician hook line and sinker without first verify the veracity of the claim.

Since the Assembly man can't present data to back up his claim, can you, the towncrier present the custom personnel record to show staff by each state.

I know your Agbotikuyo the Alagulu of Agulu will hit media on this news and enters into the trap Onanuga set for when the actual data is presented.

In what you do, seek and apply wisdom, opposition can be done sensibly to attract sympathy and win more people to your side but not in a crude way the Obidients are doing it.

In as much as i believe, merit based recruitment into organizations are the way to go! Northerners have for a long time turned federal jobs into personal gains they use to reward their kins. Go to BOI, CBN, DPR, NNPC, FIRS, NA, NN, Airforce, Customs, Immigration etc. and do a census to determine the number of people from Northern extractions in those places.

You'd see that the injustice this man so claims to be meted to them as a region is what they have been doing for a long time coming to other regions. If someone is trying to put a balance to it. I do not object. This country belongs to everyone, from East to West, North to South and we all deserve to be equally represented.
Thank you sir for your wise contribution, some of the Nairalanders are just spewing trash

Which other parts of the south nominated you as their speaker to speak on their behalf or are you only hiding under this to show your usual frustration ? You can quote the figure first qt least to know the figure you are protesting and the south you are fighting for or just be bold if you are only talking bout 5%ers part of the south that never contributed anything in vote to Tinubu, but wanted dividend to be divided equally.

You want to eat where you did not work, right? So, you want the food to be divided equally despite you never worked for the food, right? Bible says if you don't work, don't eat. Now, we are telling by God's grace against 2027 to align rightly now, but you still want to follow mushroom party and candidate despite signs pointing you to winner. When next food is ready with Tinubu in 2027, you will still expect food to be divided equally, right? Ok, stay there and continue to deceive yourself!
Gibberish. Did Lagos deliver for Tinubu in 2023? Why then is every project and appointment concentrated in Lagos?

Actually that is not true
There are some things many of you assume

Nigeria was formed in 1914

Before that Lagos has ALWAYS BEEN AHEAD

https://www.nairaland.com/4144976/lagos-1898before-nigeria-not-oil

First power plant
Street lights before 1900
First secondary school
First telephone

Lagos has always been a net contributor

The success has been replicated

Who are the most educated Nigerians? You can live in denial but Yoruba are better than all of you

I say it with full chest
Most civilised and most likely to succeed when we break up
The Europeans setting up their colony in Lagos was the very reason why Lagos advanced ahead infrastructurally than other places, it was not due to the excellence of Yoruba, No, Yoruba had no hand in the development of Lagos state especially in 1914.

You are brilliant
Why didn't they set up in Onitsha
Where did the money for this infrastructure come from in 1898
Were they bringing money from Europe?

Why they didn't set up in Onitsha? Because Onitsha wasn't close to the sea.

The money to develop Lagos came from both Lagos and other southern and middle belt areas under the control of the royal Niger company/United African Company.

No they didn't bring money from Europe as far as I know, the only time they stated bringing in Money from Europe was from 1900-1914, and the money was given to the North protectorate as a non refundable grants totalling over £4 million. This was because the North was running on deficit despite the fact that surpluses from Lagos and the southern protectorate were being sent to the North.

Not being close to the sea is something you need to discuss with your ancestors


No this is your fabrication

Southern Nigeria and Lagos were merged in 1906
Before that
Lagos was administered distinctly from Onitsha
Under different Government
Many of you just lie ignorantly

The East not Lagos was under the Royal Niger Company and their capital was Calabar until 1906

The Britiish kept financial records

So stop lying


Southern Nigeria

Was essentially the Eastern Region
