friends and colleagues from every part of the nation and some of my best friends are not even from my side of the country.

However, recent events are making me to have a deeper reflection and I wish we- Southerners in this instance- can have some kind of introspection. Out of 25 appointments made so far, 18 are from the North, 3 are from the South West, 4 are from the South South while the South East has ZERO appointments. A tweet which I saw today stated that “southerners are only competent when it’s time for elections but northerners are competent in terms of governance” and this made the following thoughts run through my mind:

1. Only Southerners have been accusing fellow Southerners of corruption. Oshiomole has been attacking Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as if Ngozi turned down his marriage proposal. The same Oshiomole tried to make nonsense of Akinwumi Adeshina’s successes in the agriculture sector. Ambode tried to pull Fashola down and successfully smeared him with stains. Maybe that’s why Fashola did not get the Chief of Staff role. I’m yet to see a Northerner accuse another Northerner of corruption, even when they belong to different parties. The closest a Northerner got was when the new Kano State Governor attacked Rabiu Kwankaso but he quickly sheathed his sword and even disowned previous reports of attacks. Why are we like this?

2. Are Southerners the only ones who are corrupt? Were there no northerner heading the ministries and parastatals? Did the outgone Comptroller-General of Customs, Abdullahi Dikko not have an alleged case of certificate forgery but he still served out his tenure until he resigned voluntarily? I’m not in support of corruption under any guise but the fight against corruption must not be seen to be sectional.

3. How come it’s easier for the President to believe that Sanni Abacha was not corrupt in spite of recovered loot while it is so easy for him to believe Goodluck Jonathan is irredeemably corrupt?

4. I still remember that aside from God, Tinubu made Tambuwal what he is today. The same Tambuwal would later call Femi Gbajabiamila ‘incompetent’ and rated Dogara as more competent. The same Tambuwal was propped up by Tinubu, a Southerner against a fellow Southerner, Mulikat Akande. Obasanjo was very key to denying Goodluck Jonathan a second term. A good number can still recall how OBJ tore his PDP membership card in public glare. The Northerners find it easy to support themselves but we are always pulling ourselves down. Babangida Aliyu, Sule Lamido and all the other Northern Governors including the former PDP Chairman Adamu Muazu often times refused to campaign for Goodluck Jonathan openly and many times even espoused the virtues of the opposing candidate on the rostrum!

5. Southern leaders and Presidents pull down Southern business men but prop up Northern ones. How many people still remember how Obasanjo ran Mike Adenuga out of town but both Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan made Aliko Dangote what he is today. No northern leader goes against their own. I dare to put it on record that President Buhari will never go against Aliko Dangote for any reason.

6. How come OBJ pardoned Salisu Buhari, the ex-Speaker who forged his credentials and he later was given an appointment as a Governing Council member of a University and heavens did not fall- but when Goodluck Jonathan pardoned Alamieyeseigha it became one of the major issues counted against him? Is there one rule for some and another rule for others?

7. We find it easy to raise our voices in support of the deportation of Buruji Kashamu but have no qualms with Atiku Abubakar strutting around the corridors of power.

8. Only Southerners find it so easy to abuse their elders when they voice opinions not in tandem with the popular opinion. We find it easy to diss Afenifere elders and call them ‘Afenifebi’ while hurling expletives and curses at them. We even abuse our kings and priests. Northerners will never abuse an Emir no matter how unpopular what he said is. Can you imagine any Northerner raising his voice against the Sultan? In spite of Tanko Yakassai, Balarabe Musa and Dangiwa Umar’s perceived support for Jonathan, northern youths did not abuse them. But our own youths run down our elders on social media while our educated elite also support the act.

These are some of the thoughts that have been running through my mind. I don’t pretend to have all the answers and I do this at the risk of being labelled an ethnic bigot. The point however is that Southerners have to get their acts right. We have to put our house in order. The bickering must stop. Let’s engage our emotional intelligence. Let’s not allow others to exploit our tendency to self-destruct.

GOD bless u ma broda

Concern elders of the north, is dat not so! Dat is the name you called urself, the question is, is dis a kind of pay back time to other region? To me, every citizens with qualification should be appointed with merrit, and not with zone, President Buhari should be careful, and use merit to appoint.

chukwudi44:
See GEJ's northern appointments below

Most of what is contained in your list were not by appointments but by natural succession in the civil service.

How do you appoint President of Court of Appeal? How do you appoint CJN outside the natural progression?

.......

.

pmb go ahead and choose whom soever you want period.

Do me a favor and die

What's the fuss about the appointment sef

AlPeter:
are you OK? They never thought anything about the appointments until you bunch of no goods, clowns and idiotas started screaming about Buhari's own so they went back to dig out your hero's own.

Please can you help yourself google about
Northern appointments under Jonathan.
Please it will help you know that the North got more than the south.
And tell me why the North was quite when marginalised by Jonathan
Leave propaganda.

Buhari has better things to do than to listen to a group of insatiable people. He can select every member of his cabinet from Daura as long as they perform. Federal character has led us backwards. Just because we must fill certain quota we end up with people of unknown allegiance and abilities. I believe Nigeria does not need that kind of fairness; fairness that leaves us running in circles.

We need progress and Buhari is the man for the job. I enjoin you naysayers to bury your hatchets. Nigeria will move forward with Buhari at the helm.

A bunch of unrepentant tribalists.They listed South East and South South appointments but refused to show a list of Nothern appointments under Goodluck's administration

tucky200:
Buhari has appointed competent people that are ready to work...I remember clearly in the past "stealing was not corruption" , so jona d mighty clueless appointed different people 4rm all over nigeria that are very good @ LOOTING...

You always make sensible comments on Sundays.

IyaIode:
The north didn't cry when Jonathan did this. Ibos started crying after 5 appointments

Lmao, the Yoruba people are even crying more than the Igbos. They cried last admin and are still crying. So it simply means that the Yoruba and Igbo tribes are the highest wailers in Nigeria..

thats why cut off marks should be the same in every section of the country. what this illiterates listed are the total appointments made by gej. in south east for example all I see is dg dg. buhari hasn't made any appointments for dg yet. he is being criticized for the the recent appointment he made. if u want to criticize Jonathan criticize him based on the same appointment buhari has made. when buhari starts appointing dg's then we would criticize Jonathan based on that

Okonjo iweala from the South East? Please how enlightened are these Northern Elders ?

AlPeter:
are you OK? They never thought anything about the appointments until you bunch of no goods, clowns and idiotas started screaming about Buhari's own so they went back to dig out your hero's own.

And u nelive dis?. Call Goodluck a corrupt man or a thief no wahala but tribalistic man? Nah dats pure fallacy

If these northern elders can be this dumb , then it is unfortunate,
wisdom demands that they compare the list of appointments of
GEJ against that of Buhari, but they chose to come up with a list of
southern appointees in GEJ's government.

They failed to list the NSA, COAS, CDS etc.

Buhari fine sha, see the zoologist beside him.
Fine man with nice agenda.

Lies

The embolden is the very reason why religious extremely is the bane of northern Nigeria.

The day we fail to criticize ourselves and tell ourselves the truth is the day we fail as a people!.

The only way to fairly pass an opinion on this issue is for any association bringing out appointed lists to bring out the full list of the previous administration and not just sections of it like these people did.

Another poster just posted a list of Northern appointments by the previous administration and its numbers blew the figures of the OP.

Mike Adenuga was a friend of Obasanjo's enemy. So he became Obasanjo's enemy
Obasanjo also made Otedola
