APC and her Gov't should start to walk the talks.. they seems to talk too much with nothing to show for it yet.
Blaming PDP for everything.. PDP failed this country and they've been voted out..
APC promised to hit the ground running.. here we are today.

APC : Bunch of talkative, tourists and Photo addicts

otunsman:
The way tinubu rain praises on b buhari in the open is not the way he does behind the scenes.We all know buhari has not reach the agreement they both signed during the merger of Northern and western political parties to form apc.He will surely expose him as he did to ex gov fashola.

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.

Buhari and Tinubu agreement? Since fulfilled.

Buhari has since appointed Tinubu boy as boss of FIRS.

FIRS earned nearly N5 Trillion to Nigeria last year.

Maybe because PDP has ruled for roughly 99% of the time since '99.

lurther:
Tinubu has no option, even though Buhari has dumped him long time ago.

Guess, he knows that Buhari is not GEJ, so he has to continue to praise Buhari, if not, he risk what Afonja, Awolowo and Abiola went through and ended their life miserably with shame.

Knowing history is always bound to repeat itself, Tinubu is being carefull not to finish his path to historic end like his predecessors Awolowo, Afonja and Abiola. Atleast he has started with the alliance and he has been dumped. It has always been the normal process in their relationship with the Hausa-Fulani.

The final stage is where Tinubu is now, which is protest the dumping Stage and get the result. Tinubu knowing fully well that if he protest, he is fulfilling the final stage of their historic alliances with the Hausa-Fulani, so, he is trying all his possible best to avert this stage of their historic relationship. He knows the stage he is in now... after Dump, Protest and activism... after protest and activism...Clampdown and arrest... after clampdown and arrest... history is made. Tinubu will now enter history like his predecessors... then the yorubas begin to groom another yoruba man to continue in the fulfilment of this avoidable historic path of the so-called sophisticated people.

Tinubu, even if Buhari takes Nigeria to the doldrums of total destruction, you dare not cough so as to avert repeat of history.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
With OBJ and ATIKU dat are now saints in Apc?You guys are clowns!

989900:


How does that negate the fact that PDP's been in power since '99 till some 99 days thereabout back?

And you guys just throw your craniums into the Atlantic any time you hear, read, or see Tinubu.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
[s]Same PDP Ameachi,Obj and Atiku dat are now saints in Apc ruled Nigeria with[/s]?Are u saying they destroyed Nigeria with PDP and have now moved to Apc?

989900:


And how is that the point?

How does that absolve PDP of destruction of the country's image, wealth, and lives?

I read this part and remember the 'goat&yam theory'


Thank God for the general,
PDP nearly finish us.

This set of ppl shouting 100wasted days now sleep and open their dirty underwear for AC to blow them. Mosquitoes nearly finish us while sleeping in darkness and heat. 100days = good electricity that took PDP 16years to fix.

365days-100days = 265days.
265days + 3years is still enough for buhari to clean the mess PDP put us tru all this years.

And the sad news for all the haters is

Guess what


Buhari is using 8 good years

If you are tired of the country, take the next bus to Benin republic or Cameroon.

smuth:


You must be from Afghanista, who told you electricity is now stable in Nigeria...oh sorry you must be one of those brainwashed by APC, I didn't even bother reading the whole article because it is coming from a very top criminal.

cococandy:
PDP misruled the country for 16yrs. Half of which was under OBJ who has become a saint now. Very laughably idiotic.

And the rest of the stalwarts of APC are leaders who mislead Nigeria part of those 16yrs. Who's the fool here?

You got it right. APC!

cococandy:

It doesn't. It just means APC is the same party that destroyed the country. Changing their name doesn't absolve them of their crimes when they were in the other party.

For Christ sake how many Nigerians are dumb?

So if I steal and go change my name, I become absolved of my crime?

Omo this kind Mumu pass understanding. Aswear.

gboss4sure:


Alright, so before 99, Nigeria was an el'dorado?

smuth:


Hello fool, Nigeria was like heaven before G.E.J. came into power...Infact, he is the only person that ruled Nigeria since independence. You are a confirmed APC brainwashed robot.

989900:


No, APC was in power before '99.

gboss4sure:


Are you making sense to yourself? smh
