All regions should be represented.
6 different geo-political zones for 12 different positions aall occupied by people from one region.
It is well with Nigeria!

Buhari is an unrepentant bigot !, he can't change.
All sensible men in Nigeria have died. Keeping silent in the face of this obvious tyranny and injustice.

Someone remind me again the meaning of federal character... undecided
Blackpanda I'm certain you wouldn't have said d president had d right to pick from wherever if d president was from the South and decided to favour only southerners. When has Nigeria ever been without tribal and religious considerations?

In a country like this with strong tribal and regional recognition, what is the point of a federation without fair representation of all regions? When did u become such a detribalised Nigerian when loads of ur posts here show ur strong tribal affinity?
Federal character applies to the entirety of federal appointments, not any particular section of the country. It does not apply to service or defense chiefs as a particular class. That they all appear to be from a particular part of the country may be either coincidence or an express action, in any case it is the President's prerogative. Thats his number 1 job to ensure security. You are not the one to teach him what to do

You can't blame the north entirely, if not in recent times, all the while, southerners will never join any force. Our parents always think those jobs are below par. Take the recent police recruitment as an example, 90% of the people here says God forbid they join the police. 10years from now, we will discover that 80% of those that joined today are northerners. Its our fault
You are a bloody liar...... there are millions of southerners willing to join the police but they will always be short-changed at the end...do you know how many jobless southerners who want join the police or other forceshuh
Re: Buhari Appoints Northerners To Head All Defence Units: Points To A Regional War by Nobody:
Honestly, I'm disappointed with ds latest appointment from the President, it shows he careless bou what the people are saying giving credence to the allegation of him being a bigot. But on a lighter note is it not the same people that want to leave the country that are complaining. Seems someone is confused.

Useless tribalists! Na una sabi o. Cry me a river


The President has the right to appoint whomever he believes will deliver on the job. It is not the right of any particular tribe to be appointed as defense chief. So stop these ridiculous conspiracy theories. If we are all nigerians then tribe shldnt matter. But if u so much believe in tribe, then maybe the president is right in not picking anybody from ur place!
Every region should share equally in the Nigerian vision as Nigeria is not only made up of the northern region. Stark Zombie!

CDS & CNS only, not very balanced in a multi ethnic, multi cultural, varying interests nation, don't you think so? cool
Well, the CDS negates the CAS and CAS, which makes it 2 out of 12. grin

Moreover, I think Baba compensated the South with the control of key financial institutions, which in the events of annihilation of the south( as assumed by IPODs) are capable of rendering the defense unit incapacitated.

I think it's balanced. wink

How does CDS negate CAS? A mostly ceremonial position? Even 2 out of 12 is dismal & doesn't translate well.... anyone called a goat thief ought not to be seen playing with his neighbour's new born kid..

There shouldn't be need for compensation , all that is needed is equitable distribution of critical roles & fairness... no one needs any handout, competence & merit, dazall.. & it's high time Bubu's handlers & Advisers stop alienating him from even his core support base.... babu balance & fairness in 2 out of 12... cool #fact

Don't mind the ipod, we yorubas know that the fulani have the right to head all Military parastatal and put all their brothers there so as to protect their herdsmen when they kill our people in Ekiti and Ogun. We yoruba especially we muslims support Buhari in this. Sai Baba! grin

Making appointments is a prerogative of Baba, and he alone can choose whoever he wants to work with.

You should spare him the rigorous task of choosing between competence and yearnings of some bigoted minds.
Re: Buhari Appoints Northerners To Head All Defence Units: Points To A Regional War by Nobody: 9:13am On Jun 22, 2016
Why are you people sounding so worried and helpless. You do not need a war to defeat your enemy. You just need to control the resources.

I have never seen a tribalistic government like Buhari's government. The funny thing is he does it like its normal thing without conscience.

For the new Inspector-General of Police, Nigerians as usual are so dumb or distracted to know that Buhari bypassed 5 Deputy Inspectors-General of Police because the next in line was from the south, and went to pick someone from the North from the list of Assistant Inspector-General of Police who are under Deputy Inspector-General of Police by rank and law. Same thing happened in the Customs except a northerner outsider; military man, was brought in when the next in line was from the south. As usual, the south foolishly turned a blind eye. 90% of all custom comptroller generals since the creation of Nigeria are from the north. 100% of all EFCC chairmen since creation almost 15 yrs ago are from the north.

Someone should pls tell me anywhere in history of our democratic dispensation where an Inspector General of police was chosen from Assistant Inspector-General of Police. Same with Customs, where an outsider was brought in.
My brother gradually we dey face there ooo.Lord help us Nigerians.

This assertion is uncool & uncalled for!!
This right here is the problem we have as a nation, so pointing out what is glaring is "bigotry"? So competence is restricted to a particular section? Don't go this polarizing path abeg.

Choosing who to work with comes with a degree of "sensitivity" & giving everyone a sense of belonging... In a multi faceted polity, balance & inclusion is key..

We can't be sai Babaing everyday & watch the government walk down a path that isn't doing any good ... what is wrong is wrong, not every critic wants the government to fail & not every action of the government deser applause...

I repeat, 2 out of 14 (12 to you) is an epic fail!!! sad

And how has he ensure security of our people?

The fulani herdsmen have been going about raping and killing in the south and all the president has to say is that they are Libyans not Nigerians.

The minister of Interrior said that the police can handle the rampaging demonic herdsmen that it is not a job for the military.

The minister of Agriculture says that there is nothing the government can do to stop the herdsmen because they are from fellow ECOWAS countries and their freedom of movement cannot be hindered.

You can clearly see that this government is not bother abut southerners, I will create a thread on this soon.

Guy, calm down, leave the zombie b@stard mofos selling their birthrights to the North, the thunder that will fire all of them is brewing.

The same thing happened in NSCDC. The first acting CG selected, ACG (Dr.) Obiora was rejected because say na IBO man before they now aappointed this Northerner.

How support for a politician dey blind people to common sense and fairness, I nor come understand again?!

And do you even know the scary, crazy part?! The whole Naija landscape is now divided into Nay & fanatical Yea-sayers! Nobody with a brain that's independent of the Naija Ethno-political Matrix!!

Everyone dying to support half-brained policies of schemers and scammrscammers who can buy their entire families 50times over with ill-gotten wealth!

Now is Bubu's time and everything the man does is right. There're no true nationalists who can only assent to policies, strategies and recommendations in the best interests of the country.

Even God the Almighty sef has professional disbelievers who have made names deriding His Person and those who Irreligiously don't give a rat's ars.s abound ignoring Him in every way possible!

So, the requisite quality of throwing your brain away and not being able to address issues for what they are is still what I don't get in Nigerian politics.

If all these appointments are Buhari's prerogatives alone to make and he has MADE THIS LOOPSIDED NEPOTIC APPOINTMENTS, DOESN'T THAT SAY SOMETHING ABOUT HIS MINDSET AND TTHE NEED FOR PROPER GUIDANCE?!

its like saying chief of army staff, chief of air staff and IGP are from the north while all others are from the south. You sound as if there are over 100 military chiefs with only 2 from south.
