₦airaland Forum

All of you guys on this thread, from Yoruba to Ibo to Fulani, sound so confused.

I want you guys to take a minute to put down that tribal lense and read the contents on this thread.

I was like wtf? lol.

One minute you're supporting each other, the next minute, you're "on top" of each other because of the primed hate.

Some Yorubas want Saraki to pay but they don't want to lose the senate president position (Saraki being Half-Yoruba et al). Other Yorubas want Saraki to pay because they think he took the position from a pure Yoruba man.

Ibos want Saraki to pay because they want to blame this on Buhari and call him a tribal bigot.

Una confuse well well

Stop being mischievous!
Aside no 2, we have nos 3 and 6.
We also have the Senate Chief Whip and House Leader.

Which No3 Saraki that Buhari is using all his power to remove by force or Osinbajo the Messenger Boy. U sound ridiculous.

At least, he's still the Senate President. Wait till he's removed.

Osinbajo is by far the best VP Nigeria will have in decades and he's being groomed for the top job. A ship cant have 2 masters.

Wasnt GEJ Turai's houseboy? Yet he became president.

The fact is that you ibos are eyeing Osinbajo's seat indirectly seeing the presidency is way beyond reach.

If wishes were horses, ibos will ride. Buhari wont choose an ibo VP in 2019.

Igbos were offered to be Buhari VP and they rejected it.

I will leave u in your delusion and dream that Buhari and his Fulani executive will ever allow Osinbajo take over from where Buahri stops.

Igbo Presidency is inconsequential wen you will be in Odudwa Republic and Hausa will be in Arewa Republic.

Biafra is eminent.

Sure, Saraki is passing through this because he is Yoruba.
No matter how much his father claimed to be Fulani, the real Fulanis never bought the dummy.
Fulanis dont bear pure Yoruba names and do speak Fulfulde or at least Hausa.

Please explain how you arrived at that conclusion; perhaps you must have sat down and discussed with these so called real Fulanis and thereby obtained their views on this matter; thats why you feel free to come here and authoritatively regurgitate that nonsense you just wrote and foolishly expect us to believe you.
Maybe you can start by telling us which of the Fulani clans you belong; otherwise you might as well take your ignorant bigoted misleading propaganda and waka comot.

Shut up! Read the article below; focus on the bolded:

Three days after his inauguration, President Muhammadu Buhari has not been able to make key appointments due to a crisis of confidence that has pitted him against power blocs in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). This has made the National Coordinator of the Concerned Northern Professional Forum (CNPF), Dr. Mohammed Junaid, to accuse a section of the APC leadership of trying to arm-twist Buhari to make some appointments against his wish. He accused the APC of trying to use zoning to hold Buhari captive, saying resorting to allotting positions on zonal basis is inimical to good governance.

The president, which on Sunday named Managing Director, Sun Newspapers, Mr. Femi Adesina and head of media of his campaign organisation, Mallam Garba Shehu, as spokesmen, is yet to unveil names of Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and Chief of Staff, among others.

But New Telegraph learnt that intense pressure, as well as insistence on certain government positions from intra-party and regional power blocs, might have stalled further announcements of sensitive appointments by Buhari. “There is more to what you think, the president is not keeping the party guessing, rather, a brewing cold war has to be stemmed from getting out of hand”, an insider said yesterday. It was gathered that some powerful Northern power brokers had impressed it on the president to restrict his search for the headship of certain sensitive positions to the region.

The source, a member of the APC Board of Trustees (BoT) caucus, listed some of such positions to that of the SGF, Chief of Staff, National Security Adviser (NSA) and the headship of the Federal Ministry of Finance. He said some young, but powerful confidants of the president had drawn up a list of such positions with the support of certain influential power brokers from the North. “We fear if the president can say no to such persons under the present circumstances,” he added. He said a delegation of some influential Northerners had handed over what he called an ‘A’ list to the president.

“When you say the president as a person is keeping the party guessing, I laugh. In fairness to him, it is not true because we know as a matter of fact that some powerful leaders of the party from the North have insisted on certain key appointments. “Looking at their arguments for such, you will also agree that they might be right to say yes, we need to have these this time around because in whatev-er we do, once precedence has been set, it becomes difficult to fault when successive actions in similar light come to the fore.

“For instance, when today they insist on having the NSA, CBN governor, SGF, COS and even the Minister of Finance, you don’t have to blame them because right from the days of Obasanjo till Jonathan, we have come to realise that these appointments had at one time or the other, resided in a section of the country before. “In fact, there was a time former President Jonathan had his NSA, CoS and Finance Minister all from the South-South. So the issue is not just the president keeping the party leadership guessing, but what is at hand is how we will stem a brewing cold war within us to get out of hand into open confrontation.

“The truth remains that to say no, or simply ignore the demands presented by this group of our colleagues from the North will only be insensitive, that is why we are trying to explore more diplomatic means of concession to one another,” he said. It could not be immediately confirmed if the move by the Forum of Northern States’ Secretaries to Governments to endorse one of their own, the Secretary to Borno State Government, Ambassador Baba Ahmed Jidda, for the position of SGF was in line with the push as disclosed by the party top shot.

The forum, in a letter to Buhari and signed by the Coordinator of the Forum and former SSG of Niger State, Hon. Saidu Ndako Idris Kpaki, said the recommendation was part of their contribution to support the new administration to succeed in its quest to improve the lives of Nigerians. The position of the forum had raised curiosity; especially following reports that a founding leader of the APC, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, was being considered for the job. For the positions of the NSA and CoS, erstwhile Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Abdurrahman Dambazau and Col Hammed Ali, all retired, are the prime candidates likely to get the jobs.

But New Telegraph gathered that on the cards for the positions of Finance Minister is Dr Tanimu Yakubu Kurfi, who was Chief Economic Adviser to the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua. But Junaid, who clarified that he was not speaking for the North, said the APC should be blamed for any crisis and delay over appointments by the president. He alleged that with the zoning of offices, the APC was already holding Buhari hostage. He said: “First and foremost, I have never claimed to be speaking for the North; my attitude has always been what is good for the nation.
Having said that, I think the APC is creating a problem for President Buhari by this zoning mantra. “Basically, I think it is because the party allowed crooks and counterproductive elements from the PDP to join its fold and these persons have now brought in this idea of zoning, which I think is very inimical to good governance. “For instance, the position of the SGF is a very sensitive office and it is the engine room of the government; the head of government must be allowed to pick whoever he feels is best suitable for the job.

When former President Obasanjo picked Chief Ufot Ekaette, it was believed that he picked out of merit and not zoning, so the APC should not try to impose any useless zoning on the president. “The same goes for other offices such as the CBN governor, NSA and all that, including the now annoying jostle for the position of the Senate president.

“Nigerians should be wary of those who want to plant seeds of discord that will cause confusion in the early life of this administration because from the way things are going, if care is not taken, leadership of the Senate might be in the hands of the same ethnic group that has grabbed the vice-presidency; that same ethnic group wants to be speaker of the House of Representatives. But I can bet you, it will not be allowed to happen in this country because we know ourselves.” But reacting to the allegation that the APC was holding the president hostage, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said such a statement should be ignored. “Please ignore such statements; it is too early to give prominence to statements that will not help this administration,” he said.

Shut up! Read the article below; focus on the bolded:

What a block head; you got to be joking.

Focus on what?

You mean I should take that narrow set of views from a Nairaland thread, arising from a myopic piece of speculative baseless journalism, without a single shred of evidence from a nondescript blog of no repute as the gospel truth - you gotta be kidding; not only that, you must also be crazy.

Tell me how does that garbage make you an authority on Fulani affairs to the extent that you can speak for and on behalf of them on this matter?

While you are at it , please also try and answer the following questions:

Who are the real Fulanis you were referring to?
How did Dr. Junaidu become their spokesperson and Buhari their agent carrying out their agenda against saraki?
Since when did the APC become a Fulani party.
Are the preferred APC candidates for the Senate President (and Speaker of the House) Fulani men and if not; then how does the APC opposition to Saraki's ascendency to the Senate presidency become a Fulani matter and Buhari carrying out their agenda - is Bola Tinubu, the party leader and Saraki's main opponent a Fulani man?

If you have any evidence to this effect, please feel free to share them; otherwise stop passing your borrowed bigoted pet conspiracy theories as facts - not all of us are as shallow and stupid as you.

You are a dullard!
Are you disputing that Dr Junaid said that or not?
Also, Yorubas have cornered nos 2,3 and 6 in the order of precedence.
Isnt that enough to unsettle the Fulanis?

Dindirin, this must be how you repeatedly failed JAMB and were instead blaming your village witch for your poor comprehension.
Didn't you see the questions posited to you?
Answer them first, instead of trying to shift the goal post, stay focused on the issue; unless of course you are suffering from A.D.D.
