You are wrong my yoruba brother, we yoruba must continue to tell yeebos that the fulanis have the right to control all the army and armoury. Sai Baba!
You are boring...go back to bed and stop being a nuisance...

We Nigerians get distracted easily with God knows what while they dastardly carry out their plans.. those southerners that were bypassed, why didn't they object or file complaints towards that? What is killing we yorubas is our Education, and Igbos is money, we allow education sanity to blind us while these notherners goes streetwise with us.. Until we Yorubas or southerners learn to help ourselves, we'l be behind d hausas.. I pray that God will see to the affairs of this country and lead our leaders right... this is why i'm an advocate for splitting, because tribalism will never allow this country to grow.. especially if we have dese hausas in Govt... God Bless Nigeria
Until we Yorubas or southerners learn to help ourselves.
This is answer to every thing.

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.
We are talking about all the security apparatus..

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


Babacele , we can call a spade a shovel. cheesy


Cc presidency, the streets are talking.

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
. I am in love with you now but the problem is that you are a zombie and I am a wailer. Can we collabo?

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
It applies to every federal government sector and parastatal on individual basis, Otherwise u will soon agree that it is okay for the oil and gas and the Finance sector to be dominated by Southerners while it is alright for the North to dominate the Police for instance, provided it is a roughly equal number for representation at the end of the day. That is not the true spirit of the Federal Character law.

FEDERAL CHARACTER COMMISSION (ESTABLISHMENT, ETC) Act; GUIDING PRINCIPLE AND FORMULAE FOR THE DISTRIBUTION OF ALL CADRES OF POSTS http://www.federalcharacter.gov.ng/index.php/about-us/guiding-principles/principles

Each State of the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory shall be equitably represented in all national institutions and in public enterprises organizations.

Where the number of positions available cannot go round the States of the Federation or the Federal Capital, the distribution shall be on zonal basis but in the case where two positions are available, the positions shall be shared between the northern and the southern zones.


How do you interprete this provision of the law?

This argument is pointless and goes to no issue. Security is very volatile in nigeria. We need best hands that can be trusted, and the President is in the best place to determine that. U can argue from now till high heavens but u are not the commander in chief of armed forces, neither are u a security expert.

Did you hear that 26 innocent people where killed in benue yesterday, killed in their sleep by Fulani herdsmen And they land occupied by their murderers? Did you also hear that agatu is still occupied by herdsmen months after the original inhabitants Were killed and chased out? What are the security units doing about these?
You northerner are only fooling your selfs.

The President is subject to the laws of the land. He is not free to pick and choose which law to obey or jettison. He is to carry out his functions within the ambit of the law. He must be able to guarantee the security of the entire Nigerian state within the law that stipulates equitable representation. Until there is a security report indicting an Igbo, Urhobo, Efik or whichever from the South that makes it impossible for him to be appointed and so a 'clean' Northerner is appointed in his place, the president has gone contrary to the laws of the land. It is a constitutional breach of the terms of fair and equitable leadership at all times.

DavidAdeyemo:
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 bigotry. But on a lighter note is it not the same people that want to leave the country that are complaining. Seems someone is confused.
They want to leave but haven't left because every attempt at even a peaceful gathering is met with stiff resistance and deliberate murder. In other words, they remain active and valid stakeholders for the time being and therefore rightfully demand their fair share. There is no confusion and u cannot expect them to lose both ways, they will not be allowed peaceful exit yet be cheated? Nope, ain't happening.

Which IRS, wen they showed the sham requirement made by IRS,no be northerners name full inside? So me sef should be shouting SS controls CBN and the oil, wen they still employed most northerners. Tell me one benefit of works, housing and power. The best FG housing system is in the north incase u don't know. Power that u av, are u nt paying for it? U think the northerners pay that high too... my brother wake up. It's morning, night is gone. People are waking up, u r still sleeping putting ur hope on buhari. He will always disappoint u, he disappointed tinubu with appointment talkless of you.
name the head of irs.
audit was carried out.
na Imo get highest number of civil servants, stop lying
works housing power (fashola is not a northerner)
na dia 2019 funds go comot.
who are all the construction workers in construction companies? northerners? you too funny and short sighted.
name the housing system (no mention gwarimpa o)
who cares how much is paid, it is what productivity it supports that matters.
oh my slow non strategic friend,you mistake my support for Buhari and tinubu for blind obeisance.
no, they are just tools that we need for now (to remove pdp or do you have a better suggestion)
as soon as they outlive their usefulness we discard them like pampers

Who signs off the monies?
[b] who signed off on Boko sponsorship, militants, cultists, opc, 2019 election campaign spending, avengers, ultimate warriors?
you go school now...



Which army are we buying?, what can we offer them that the region cant?

see above, enough jobless youth can be hired overnight. and trained by disgruntled ex soldiers

The OP is saying, in event of calamity or rising issues, those sitted at the discussion table are all from same region, there is no representation of other part.

what I am saying is were Niger deltans not at table when they lost oil rights?
obj did not fix road to his village
diezani cried as minster of works she no fix her village road
as minister of petroleum she no give her ppl oil block or license to refine
so how are they useful to you
did north help dia ppl against Boko
who helped you against kidnapping.
abeg make he full everywhere with him ppl so when southerner win presidency next we return the favour and when they shout we will be serious about shouting next time a northerner is there.
if bad thing no happen to pesin pesin no go appreciate the good wan
