See GEJ's northern appointments below

Mounir Gwarzo became SEC DG EARLY THIS YEAR when Jonathan started looking for ways to appease the North
Same for Arogbofa who became COS after he sacked Oghadiome to appease SW
YARADUA, not Jonathan appointed Sanusi CBN Governor. Jonathan sacked Sanusi to make Emefiele CBN Governor
Aloma Mukhtar became CJN due to the tradition of seniority instituted by Yaradua
Yaradua was the first man to make someone from the SE IGP
On that list of 61 people,
we have the same office IGP mentioned 5 times - 5, 8, 25, 43, 53 and you mentioned Abba twice (8 and 43) and als0 Abubakar was also mentioned twice (5 and 53) and Ringim actually helped to make Jonathan gov by helping removing Alams from office
NNPC is mentioned twice - 6 and 40
NIS is mentioned twice - 20 and 48
CJN is mentioned twice - 36 & 49
On your list, you have 2 IGPs - R and Abubakar

And these are just the ones I can remember offhand and we know that your list was carefully compiled

Only bastard Yoruba peeps voted for GEJ during the last general selection. Apologies to no bagger.

It would have been fair to see south-north appointments under GEJ side by side. Or possibly the percentage ratio.
More still, where is the eldarado change we are promised during campaign?

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

The Ibos are not the only one crying...The Yorubas are also wailing because they have been used and dumped by the Fulani Oligarchs.

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...

If competency was the yardstick used by Buhari to appoint those he appointed so far, the Igbo must have constituted more than 90% of those Buhari appointees.

Though a staunch supporter of the Buhari-led government, its clear the presence administration has more to do in terms of balancing appointments compared to the previous one to reflect principle of federal character & equity(weight of appointments must also balance not just numbers)

u must be stup*id

;Dhaha bro all na the same....no vex o....calm down, i know its very painful and difficult to swallow certain annoying comments, that being said, what do you have to say about GEJ northern appointments posted here on the first thread to counter the OP...i think He was and has been fair enough in balancing things to be politically correct.

One nigeria indeed . Make southerners dey fool dem self. Una go dey inside water, soap go enter una for eyes.

You said that we are not one & I echoed your speech. Now I'm saying that we should part, let Buhari rule his loved north & let the south have independent self governance. Why are you holding sway on the pretence that we are one even when both of us subtly admitted that we are not one.

This so called Northerner elder forum should get their fact and record straight

The Number of Aboki appointees under GEJ regime was more than enough for the northerner himsphere,let them give us. List of South South appointees(I mean peoples from EDO,AKWA-IBOM,CALABAR,RIVERS,ONDO,DELTA) how many of them made the GEJ from the ist year till the last days of GEJ in office

The end point of this matter is that PMB appointments are lopsided and it not a good omen for the unity of this great nation

I see a failed govt b4 2019

they mentioned Miss EVELYN OPUTU, TWICE on the list

so that the number of south east/south south apointed will increase nah....you dey mind these people?

criminalmindz:
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.

The South is educated and well advanced in their thought process so no basis for comparison here. It would be plain silly to try to compare a technology driven people to a bunch of religious book memorising jihadists who say western education haram.

This country is sinking into depths of ethnic and tribalists jingoism never seen before.
I blame Buhari largely bit his critics and supporters are not without blame.
Such display of reckless mediocrity is cringe worthy.

We should see the full list of his appointment before judging, northerners are very greedy.

You lie, we didn't complain during GEJ's na now we go come complain?

neocortex:
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.

The appointments made by Jonathan were in close to 6 years
Buhari has spent less than 4 months!

At no time during Jonathan time did he appoint any service chief from the NW. Never!!!
At a time Jonathan had two people of Igbo extraction (Ihejirika and Ezeoba) as service chiefs and the Hausas and Yorubas were left out. There was no much noise

Curvinus:

Your crass generalization negates the education and advancement you allude to.

The more reason why I will NEVER trust or do business with a Yoruba person, they'll betray you at the slightest opportunity.

They don't have mind of their OWN

They been doing boy boy to the abokis since the days of Nebuchadnezzar

Even when they northerners shit on them over and over and over again just like they're doing to Mr Tinubu presently.

If not for Mr Tinubu, there is no way Buhari will be president of Nigeria, never.

Despite his effort, the northerners still see him as a mere boy boy.

The Yorubas would rather support somebody from Uganda than support an Ibo man.

WE NEED TO SUPPORT OUR OWN

Woe unto him that joined this scam called Nigeria together


I am from SS btw

Having a whooping number of 19 states in once one region northern Nigeria, but only 17 states in the once two regions southern Nigeria is the brain behind north of Nigeria occupying undue large number of government positions as well as determine who must preside over Nigeria any time.

Yoruba military Generals were asleep when northern military generals progressively divided Nigeria into 36 states, and in the process created a super political class in the north of Nigeria.

Land mass is never used in any true federation as criterion for deriving new federating units.

Land mass was used by northern military generals as criterion to derive Nigeria's present federating units of 36 states and Abuja. That's a huge foul play.

Need anything from Jumia? Contact me

Stop whipping up destructive sentiments. We don't need solidarity or unity of the south just in order to protect the corruption of a few because everybody pays the price. I want corruption to stop in my State so that the resources can be used for the development of my State. If the man from Kano decides to keep quiet that is his business. Tell me how does it benefit a vulcanizer in Uyo if Godswill Akpabio is jailed for corruption but Rabiu Kwakwanso is not. Is Godswill Akpabio going to give the vulcanizer part of his loot? These divide and rule argument is sponsored by the corrupt elite in order to give their corruption a free pass, and unfortunately the gullible readers here are buying it as valid argument.

Yes..people like these
Uselessness in crooked places, people who forge certificates like the Dullard himself. Competent my big fat behind

Jst woke up buh wit the same topic m Goin bck oo

There were more Northerners in Jonathan's Government than Southerners

Let the performance ratings of the appointees be the basis of arguements. Enough of these baseless insuniations.

And you didn't also generalize when you said Southerners were their own alatross like Northerners didn't also go after the other. Or you didn't hear about the feud between Bala Mohammed and Isa Yuguda which nearly led to the former's recall from the Senate untill he was granted a lifeline by GEJ: you also didn't hear how Buhari sentenced Abubakar Rimi and Bakin Zuwo to hundreds of years behind bars?
