OP, if you're privileged to have access to classified information, employ wisdom in divulging such if you must.
Your topic for example is misleading and capable of causing katakata.

@ Post,

If truly "Alhaji Buhari" (apologies to Mr. Protection) said all you've written here, then I am even prouder to have him as my president. It shows "BabaOneChance" (apologies to TANoids in da house) has thorough knowledge about refineries and petroleum industry.

It's all about the north

GEJ's acclaimed success is equivalent to OBJ's failure. Haven said that, am no Yoruba but will not allow you rewrite history. The Yorubas have a recorded track record of good governance since the advent of democracy in Nigeria.

pistol:
it was the north that put us in this position.

agabaI23:
Haa, how can you say that sir? Who classified the information? When Sahara Reporters was leaking some info even though most were lies, did you ask them to employ wisdom? Is this hypocrisy?

LFJ:
U are just becoming ridiculous. It a thing of joy to call yourself an Ijaw man and celebrate Jonathan as your own but it is a crime for Buhari to say he is a Northerner. Did anybody say it was all about Ijaw when Jonathan was dishing out national cake to criminals under the disguise of amnesty

PassingShot:
Saharareporters like other media houses are legitimate news outfits. The OP is not and whatever he says can only be taken with a pinch of salt.

jascon1:
The north Is BACK Am confused.

This is dawning by the day

Anyways let's keep our fingers crossed or if u have received short sleeve let's keep out elbows close

The President-Elect in his speech welcoming the Niger Ambassador cracked a joke by saying:

"...the North is back to restore this Nation... Quote Buhari"

Nigeria atmosphere is awashed with ridiculous assertions that the Northerners are responsible to the state the Nation is today.

barcanista:
Have you ever seen or heard me tribalised the Presidency? Have you ever heard such from Jonathan?

Gbawe:
There is no proof Buhari said this to begin with yet even if he did it is stated clearly that he was cracking a joke mocking the "ridiculous assertion" that the North is responsible for the present State of Nigeria today. Anyway, whoever made the statement is correct because it is indeed ridiculous to blame the North for the current state of Nigeria today. If some want to focus on ethnicity rather than good/bad leadership, which is peculiar to individuals and not ethnic groups, then one can argue that the South has led for longest since our current democracy began in 1999 through OBJ (8 years) and GEJ (5 years) with Nigeria having nothing concrete to show for all that time the South was "in charge".

I personally like the wit of whoever made the statement because he/she is mocking the ethnocentric focus and proclivity of Nigerians that leads them to generalising an ethnic group as 'failed' because of the individual failure of certain leaders. Ijaws did not fail Nigeria. GEJ did. Likewise Yorubas cannot be held accountable for what GEJ could not deliver as President. To a rational person it is obvious the Ijaws, Yorubas, Hausa, Fulani et al have talented and effective leaders in their ranks even if it is the inept, undeserving and mediocre amongst them who have traditionally made it to the pinnacle of leadership in Nigeria till today because of a political system that worships patronage above merit.

OBJ became President as appeasement to the Yorubas over June 12. Yar Adua was a disinterested and unprepared President OBJ foisted on Nigeria with the hope of gaining a 'controllable' stooge. GEJ is an accidental President. Non are like Buhari who has fought unrelentingly to lead Nigeria for more than a decade now. Buhari deliberately wanted to become President out of patriotism and a sense of duty to Nigeria. He has finally gotten there and I believe he will do well. Nigerians should simply support Buhari even if they are doing so for their own sake. If Buhari leads us into an age of progress and socio-economic development then who benefits but ordinary Nigerians?

LFJ:
So Buhari has tribalise the presidency with his statement? If you don't know, Jonathan is the first president in Nigeria history that introduce tribal and religion sentiments into our politics.

philips70:
What are you on about? Is the man who the buck is going to stop on his table not from the north? If that statement is true then it's a welcomed development. The Yorubas have been known to be after good governance and not who and who keeps power.

But we will committee ourselves to the yearning of the masses.......Sai Baba

barcanista:
Really? So it was Jonathan that introduced concensus Northern candidate in 2011? It was Jonathan that vowed to make his government ungovernable until power return to the north?


By Buhari's statement, he has tribalised the office!

eminikansoso:
from the above write up
what I can understand is that Baba feels that northerners are been blamed on issue of Nigeria problems which he (BUHARI) did not see it that way but on individual greediness of entire region of Nigeria.

QuotaSystem:
Yes he has tribalized the office, it's a Fulani Presidency. Have a problem with that?

Noneroone:

Did yorubas vote OBJ or not?
