BrOwnSuga3:
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

Actually the SE has aligned with the North more than the SW
1960 - 1966 - Balewa and Zik (PM and Gov General/President)
1979 - 1983 - NPN and NPP alignment - President (NW), VP (SE), Senate (SS) and House of Reps (SE)
1999 to date - SE has mostly voted PDP along with North (anambra has been the consistent exception and Imo since 2011) , SW has mostly voted opposition. But they voted for the party at the centre/Jonathan in 2011
This is the first time that core SW states are being mostly ruled by same party as the one at the centre (Ekiti and Ondo are still under PDP)

PassingShot:

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?
Hahahaha this guy, you keep getting worst! So most of the appointments in his list were through natural successions whereas those in the list of the concerned northern elders are not? When Buhari appointed DG DSS and CG customs out of the natural succession in the civil service, did you complain? Please try using your sense!

SirJeffry:
This clearly shows that the name united Nigeria has been a figment of our imaginations all these while and our continued existence together is self deceit.

So, the Northerners have a grudge all these years about Gej govt but chose to bottle it up until they regain power?

It's now obvious that Buhari is playing an already written script.

The division of this country is long overdue honestly. undecided

"Edited" @Criminalmindz, God bless you brother.

Did u hear the North crying or wailing over the place during this appointments?. Buhari have made just hoe many appointments and all u guys do is wail and wail. If u tired of one Nigeria...you can port to North Korea....

I hate seen matured Elders lying. What they are trying to do by releasing this so called list is to defend the "slowpoke" president of our dear nation.
Do they think we don't read meanings? Or do they think we only read headlines not content as their fellow northern brothers do?
The truth is that the appointment is lopsided we are still going to witness more lop-sidedness.

I understand they are making caricature of their own brother. If not they should make available the North-west, North-central and North-east appointments under Jonathan's administration.


Their brains have been tattooed.

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.

This your write up is not only flash back but also a challenge I don't think what the southern Nigeria is doing is wrong. in fact is right but in wrong place. you hardly find evil tormenting southern part of the country like the northern Nigeria because Southerners don't keep quite against wrong and evil thing around them.

if a southern man sees his child making some bad moves he quickly calls him to order if he does not change he reports him to elders if he continues he reports him to authority if he does not change he finds spiritual help for his child and if he doesn't change he disowns him that is what southern Nigeria does that is why you hardly see them organising deadly groups like boko-haram and tens of its likes that the north had organised in the past.

Almost all natural disasters in Nigeria happen in the north do you know why? the northerners have failed to say, do or condemn something and someone.

almost all the artificial disasters happening in Nigeria happen in the North do you know why? because north has called good evil and evil good, they fail to tame their wards.

almost all the artificial disasters in the south are committed by northerners living in the south. who has never heard of herdsmen and their likes?

it is good to condemn evil if you find one around you this same north you are talking about has lion share of almost everything in this country. They led Nigeria than southern region, they stole federal money than southern region, they contribute little or non but more than have of allocation or equal goes to north still THEY ARE POORER. they have lion share of every evil and backwardness.

if not keeping quite against evil is what makes south better I think it is good to keep going like that. however, it will be good for south doing this in her country not in Nigeria which is wrong place.

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.
u r just an idiot!
