ToyozzieTohBad:
This is one of the most sensible comments I've read in a
while, as regards to President Buhari's nominations.
All these selfish, stupid and aggrieved Yoruba/Igbo people
should just go and sit somewhere.

Ndigbo's that are killing themselves about the appointments made so far by President Buhari are just funny. Aside the fact that we Igbos shouldn’t expect sensitive appointments from him because many of us hate him without any justifiable reason and no smart politician will give such positions to his ‘enemies’,
what did all our brothers that occupied sensitive positions
recently achieved for our geopolitical zone? Recall that Igbos
recently occupied head positions in Central Bank and
Ministry of Finance. Also, an Igbo was recently appointed
Secretary to Government of the federation, Minister of
power, Minister of Solid Minerals, Head of Due Process unit,
Minister of Education, Minister of Aviation, Executive
Director of Nigerian Communications Commission, Chief of
Army Staff, Inspector General of Police, Senate President,
Deputy Senate President and Deputy speaker of house of
Representatives. Also recently, an Igbo was appointed the
Director General of National Broadcasting Commission. The
question is what did all those Igbo appointees achieved for
Ndi Igbo? Even Goodluck Jonathan that you foolishly
accepted as your brother during his days in Aso Rock
achieved nothing for you when he was the President.

If appointments can dictate how a region should develop,
Southeast would have been a paradise by now because our
brothers occupied almost all the sensitive positions recently.
Another thing Igbos should understand is that the federal
character principle they are quoting as their basis of
argument is the greatest enemy of Nigeria especially Igbos.
This principle champions the promotion of tribal mindsets
instead of meritocracy in Nigeria as Nigerians are always
after the state of origin of every federal appointee and
prospective candidates for admissions instead of their
performance. It is because of same federal character that a
provision was made for ‘Education less developed’ states
which always make it possible for indigenes of those states
to be giving more and cheaper consideration during
admissions and recruitment in order to promote equity in
line with the federal character. This is Rubbish! Such has
caused situations whereby somebody from Anambra or Imo
will score average of about 260 in JAMB UTME and POST-
UTME but will be denied admission while somebody from
states like Zamfara, Ebonyi or Bayelsa will score average of
about180 and will be admitted in order to achieve the so
called equity in intellectual distribution among all the states
in line with same federal character. Same federal character
is the reason why instead of criticising the performance
ability of appointees, Nigerians especially Igbos will only be
interested in their states of origin.

Federal character is evil.
This is the hour of change and it must be jettisoned! If
Nigeria must progress, we must do away with federal
character and state of origin provisions and encourage
meritocracy and state of residence. I don’t care where
appointees come from, all I want is excellent performance.
If the wailing Igbos like they should continue hating Buhari
while the Niger-Deltans are busy consolidating their region
and supporting his government. At last Igbos will remain the
wailing loosers. It baffles me the way some of my Igbo
brothers are hating Buhari without any justifiable reason.
Even the Niger-Deltans that are more closer to the failed
government of Goodluck Jonathan always acknowledge that
he betrayed them, but the Igbos that are not in any way
brothers to the failed President are killing themselves and
even their conscience with baseless sentiments. Also, I have
expected these misguided Igbos to understand that the
Niger-Deltans who they foolishly took as their brothers
during the elections are not at any point with them. These
Niger-Deltans have understood that they can't make any
political achievement in Nigeria without the cooperation of
other tribes, and wisely began to issue their supports and
cooperation to the Buhari led government while the
misguided Igbos are still enslaving themselves with baseless
sentiments. Believe it or not, political appointments are
catalysed by intelligent lobbying and not unnecessary
hatred. No smart politician will appoint his haters to
sensitive positions.

I will never blame Buhari if he fails to appoint any Igbo to key positions. I am proud of Niger- Deltans and they are already reaping the fruits of their wisdom. Igbos should have a rethink!

hehehehe, when peter obis aide was caught with 250, million in raw cash in Lagos, you think we forgot know that.. Peter obi is as corrupt as other corrupt Nigerian politicians or even more. Stop crying like a little baby and ask obi to account for LG funds he looted for 8 years. The difference between me and you is I see through obi's propaganda..

I understand your situation, but you need to move on. Obi has since moved on, you too can though it might be very easy (since your source of income has always been looting, inflated contracts and kickbacks from LG funds).

FreeGlobe:
typical of you drunk peter obi supporters, when facts are brought out to indict your corrupt master, you start calling names. The same way Peter obi abused el rufai for calling his budget fraud instead of countering his claim with facts (if there was any)

Wetin Obi do you? Obi has moved on, why not do the same?

Fashola jump pam pass oh no prob

The war on corruption we voted for has yet to gather steam. If the current office holders do not see the appropriate punishment on those who have looted our federal, state and local government treasuries, they would not be dissuaded. We are yet to see a difference between how GEJ fought corruption on the pages of newspapers and what is happening now. And on top of that, APC is about to coronate another looter Audu as their guber nominee in Kogi.

T.A ORJI AND SON PLC NKO?

Am still wondering why no one has mentioned Dr Ewetan Uduaghan( ex governor of Delta state) in all these probes that EFCC and ICPC are conducting.

Interesting. Probes, more probes. Typical of Machiavellian law of leadership.

Probe anybody that is corrupt. We can continue this way. We have been misgoverrned for years. A country so bless but the weath is with very few people. if these 4 years is to build a foundation for a less corrupt Nigeria, personally I don't mind.

What of the governor that embezzled 9 months salary, won't he be probed

That's a good one. At least the noise about "selective" probe has come to roost. It is now cutting accross ethnic and political divides with Amaechi and Kwankwaso under probe. Abi?
