One thing we should know is that buhari is out to Northernise Nigeria. He doesn't care if you are illiterate, once you are a northerner, you are good for the job. I only pity for my brothers from southwest who are expecting much from this government, but are seeing very little.

It's now Northernization. Has he finished the Islamization of the country you guys always accused him of?

when d dullard appoint kachikwu as minister of state for petroluem, i knew say na just matter of time before d dullard remove kachikwu as gmd of nnpc n replace am with northerner. now my prediction don come to pass.
buari dullard is d most tribalized, bigotiest, northern extremist dat has eva govern nigeria! but am i surprised buari of 2016 na d same buari of 1984. leopard no dey change him spots.

Buhari is the man. wailers make una kill yourself when GEJ was marginalizing the south west and the north where were you.
I always laugh when i hear wailers tagging everyone from the north as hausa/fulani, it is simply ignorance cos there are over 200 tribes in the north. the north constitutes at least 60 percent of naija population and landmass so every wailer can go kill himself.
wailers go and check federal civil service and see you will notice that southerners are far more than northerners in the civil service so yeah buhari is doing a fantastic job

People now rationalise evil. The fact that jonathan did it is not enough reason for you to do thesame. An eye for an eye will make the world go blind. Now let's disect that logic of "jonathan-did-it"

You see, jonathan wasn't oblivious of the massive looting during his tenure, in fact, it was thesame logic of afterall IBB empowered Indimi et al that rationalised the illegalities that characterized his tenure. Wrong is wrong. Buhari as a septuagenarian shouldn't be associated with the mannerisms of the young. At his level he has seen it all to know that this brand of politics is retrogressive in nature in fact it is things like this that has seen that Nigeria doesnt live up to it's billing as a power house. If Jonathan was politically naive in his dealings with the country we cannot ascribe same to buhari.

I agree with you @malton, people like kwankwaso should never lead the country because; like kwankwaso like nnamdi Kanu.

@fulanimafia, the likening of an election win to the spoils of war tells you in total the mindset of the president.
God save Nigeria.

The Group Executive Director (GED), Finance & Accounts, Bernard Otti; and GED, Corporate Services, Peter Nmadu, are also members.
The President urged them to discharge their duties efficiently and with integrity to ensure positive transformation of the petroleum sector.


Wailers, oya, over to una.

that list is evenly distributed between north and south, d names u think re southern re actually northern christains

Buhari u will die in that seat b4 this year runs out,
u shall be yaraduad...
the south doesn't know what its doing to itself, let ikwerre keep fighting igbos over origin; and yorubas fooling themselves because sth doesn't affect them it's not der business, sth that we wud join hands abd drive this people away, even if Buhari goes another one wud rise up nd d north wud vote him into power.
Lord Luggard let thunder destroy ur generation.
am happy that karma is happening to britain now, I pray brexit leads to a heavy war that wud consume Britain for joining us with this demon's.
Nigeria's judgement day is coming.

What more can I say. But sai BABA

I don taya to explain, considering the yoruba factor and my vocal and all out support.... I swear people called to congratulate me in 2015 cos they remember how 2011 was for me... Now they are harassing me, and what's even the problem is that some are close older relatives that i can't even yell at or mouth off at..

Prof can't get the highest office but i hope she gets a leadership position,.where she can be allowed to show her worth.. she was a fantastic HOD, teacher and human being... Her husband is an academician too.. He is an agricultarist....

Talk about being boxed into a corner. Some people sometimes fail to realize how much the staunchest of their supporters staked just to ensure that they achieve success.

Just when you thought that victory has finally been achieved, and you can now point to detractors in the rear view and say, "we did it, we did it!", your "ride-or-die" candidate, now turned president, rides you down in a manner analogized to a Ferrari's tire bursting halfway to the finish line leaving you with so much explaining to do instead.

What all of this ultimately leads to is a situation where people doubt the truth, ignore reality and much of the time wonder if the risk was worth it at all.

As per Prof., you just helped allayed some fears I've long internalized. I was wary that she could turn out to be just another politician. But your take has me throwing caution to the wind on her.
She indeed packs most qualities a modern leader should possess, and surely deserves more than just playing second fiddle.

modath:


Nope!! It is not a specialty, it is sustained feeling of entitlement which weakens the glue of "unity" .... It's no one's birth right, equality and fairness forbid and despise such......

Anyone can attain any heights in private sector as long as they pay their dues, Public service should be balanced..

I befriended a smart well spoken, cultured core northern babe in camp who is a "geologist", I'm still amazed till date cos it goes against what we were made to believe.. El Rufai, SLS and Amina Mohd are very brilliant and erudite in their respective fields... it shows educational sagacity isn't a tribal thing, it is the state of the mind and the opportunities available..






They may, but the man on the streets don't and the difference is that , our people will prefer to form their own perception of events not what the leaders "know"...

Hope to see things change for the better, the air is very tense and highly charged.... Take care...

This has me wishing there were 1001 ways to like a comment. Should hit home with every discerning mind!

Well said!

Theoritical:
Whoever have any intention to destroy d unity planted by our forefathers in Nigeria will die by fire.

Whoever tries to deny us our right as Nigerians not to enjoy d positive benefits of our fathers land shall be roasted by thunder.

Whoever pray against the positive prayers for 9ja shall meet spiritual accident.

Amen Amen Amen

Everytime you feel cheated you pray to your God to send "holy fire" while you take no action and keep "suffering and smiling"

babyfaceafrica:
OGA,if you are talking of fair....OBj na d best!!!!....but all of dem na thief

That does not negate the fact that Jonathan was fair to the North and other south save southwest.

fulanimafia:


Lol me sef dey vex with am seriously for the slow economic diversification drive particularly regarding solid mineral development; we should be seeing the likes of Mittal and TATA falling over themselves making daily presentations in Fayemi's office by now...but sha it's still early in the day and uneasy they say, lies the head that wears the crown.

Regarding appointments, my people got no chill when it comes to politics and governance as some feel that's their area of specialty like you guys and your academic prowess + dominance of the private and financial sectors (outdated thinking if you ask me), however I must admit I feel uneasy whenever I don't see the SW also being massively included in appointments considering the sacrifices and efforts made.

Stay strong and keep calming frayed nerves as things are bound to improve if we read the handwriting on the wall, most of the frustration is economic in nature and the economic future looks bright (I can elaborate further though I know you don clock am already)

At the end of the day, I believe the President has the best of intentions and PYO, Tinubu, Fayemi et al know it (afterall they ain't stupid). It is well.

This sermon only shows that you tacitly approve of the unfortunate action of President Buhari.

As for the emboldened, it is the height of hypocrisy because you wouldn't have been saying this if it was to be the South or SW that was benefitting from these appointments with the north marginalized. smh

modath:


While at it, he should also beam his searchlight on Babachir, Dambazzau and Malami... .. They are all up to no good!!!!

Magu is a gem... God bless him..


@ Malton

I'm still "assessing" but the future....

...seems VERY BLEAK!
Getting ashamed to have ever disbelieved those who labelled him a bigot before elections.

SW no complain why SS and SE they complain and make noise now..let them stomach it like most SW did...life is not fair

IBE KACHUKWU HAS BEEN TECHNICALLY SACKED.



IF AM IN HIS SHOES, I WILL QUIETLY TENDER MY RESIGNATION AS A MINISTER OF STATE(VERY STUPID POST) AND ALSO TENDER MY RESIGNATION AS THE SO-CALLED BOARD CHAIRMAN AND QUIETLY LIVE THE COUNTRY FOR SWEDEN OR CANADA WHERE I WILL LIVE TILL THE TRIBALISTIC BIGOT OF A PRESIDENT FINISH HIS TENURE.












I SO HATE THIS TRIBALIST PART OF THE PRESIDENT - ITS BEGINNING TO GET TO MY BONE THAT I MAY SOON BE FORCED TO WITHDRAW MY SUPPORT FOR HIS PRESIDENCY.




I MEAN I KNOW HE HATES MY MY PEOPLE BUY WHY CANT HE AT LEAST PRETEND THAT HE DOESN'T, SINCE HE IS NOW THE PRESIDENT OF THE COUNTRY - UNITY OF THE NATION SHOULD AV BEEN HIS GUIDE - I MEAN HAVE FOUGHT TO KEEP THE COUNTRY ONE. OR IS IT THAT HE FOUGHT TO SECURE THE INTEREST OF THE NORTH !


TELL ME WHAT DOES HE HAVE AGAINST THE YORUBAS TOO - THEY REALLY SACRIFICED FOR HIM - WHY IS HE BETRAYING THEM TOO


WHY MUST ALL THE POSITIONS GO TO THE NORTHERS I MEAN WHY CANT THE NORTHERS THEMSELVES TALK TO HIM AND TELL HIM TO BE A LITTLE BIT FAIR IN HIS DEALINGS!!!



I STARTED SUPPORTING HIM SINCE 2003! MADE LOTS OF SACRIFICES BOTH FINANCIALLY AND OTHERWISE BELIEVING THAT HE IS A DETRIBALISED NIGERIAN - IF HE HAS NOT WON THE PRESIDENCY, I WOULD AV STILL BELIEVED HE WOULD AV BEEN THE BEST WE NEVER HAD. NOW HE IS ALMOST KILLING EVERYTHING POSITIVE I THOUGHT I SAW IN HIM!


NOW HE IS MAKING ME SOUND LIKE A WAILER!



THE PRESIDENT SERIOUSLY NEED SOME PSYCHO-ANALYSIS

You never halla!

I'm with Buhari, and one more stop to the "northernization" is the CBN. The man there right now should be removed and put either north or SW. No important position should be in the hands of unstable insecure and hateful people who will use the office to avenge imaginary betrayal and get to their perceive enemies.

O se!

babyfaceafrica:
SW no complain why SS and SE they complain and make noise now..let them stomach it like most SW did...life is not fair

Which south?
Abeg speak for yourselves alone!
There's no south.

STONEGEORGE15:
You can't beat a child and expect the child not to cry. When the South starts agitating, people will say the south does not like ''a united Nigeria''. Buhari's actions and inactions are clearly showing his hatred for the South.

TonyeBarcanista:
That does not negate the fact that Jonathan was fair to the North and other south save southwest.

the north is just greedy, they said Jonathan marginalized them when Jonathan focused almost everything on them because he wanted there support.

madenigga:

that list is evenly distributed between north and south, d names u think re southern re actually northern christains

Correct me if I'm wrong:

GEJ

There are 6 southerners and 3 northerners.

8 Christians and 1 Muslim.


PMB

There are 4 southerners and 5 northerners.

3 Christians and 6 Muslims.







P.S. Personally, I careless about who is there as long as they will work in our favour, and not do a Diezani, or like all our former petroleum bosses.

modath:


I wish you could trade places for a day... aswear you go pity me... I've deliberately avoided 2 people's communication this evening, i can't explain nothing, i am not an adviser.... I'm just a fan....

One thing remains though, Bubu has uncountable annoying faults but Jona was no option... I'll take this over someone who supervised genocide of a large number of the population in the name of "election" fund procurement....

Amosu returned 2bn of 45bn, do you know how much one helicopter even costs? That they sent gallant Air force officers to their death in scraps.....

As for contest, I wish, But I'm going to have to find a platform to attach myself to, if we all keep running away , only miscreants and thugs will rule us... If we dont occupy a position, we have to make sure the right people get there.. Kowa is a nice location.... Thieves never plenty.. Prof Sonaiya is also the real deal..

The bolded.. What can we say about the rampaging Fulani herdsmen, silence of Buhari, Buhari's grazing bill (which aims to arm twist other tribes of the nation), the silence of our security forces in that regards, murder of innocent IPOB protesters and Shiite Muslims, etc? What makes Buhari better (since you still choose him over the other) when within just a year, he has supervised the murder of over 5,000 Nigerians. When will you come to terms with the fact that Buhari isn't better of?

Where were you during Gej? I didn't see your protest then, it's very hypocritical of you.

The people complaining are the usual wailers who didn't support Buhari in the the first place and will cry till he's out of the office no matter what he does. The few Yoruba speaking against Buhari here are weak and just playing to the gallery and are afraid of ibo mobs attacking them. Ask yourself this, if Yoruba had it worse under Gej and didn't cry, so why would they wail on behalf of the ibos now?

TonyeBarcanista:


Nobody is saying the North should not be appointed, Haba!.

Northerners like Southerners are very important In the project Nigeria. All we are saying is that the President should be fair even if he won't treat equally. His action is creating animosity and bad blood.


You see core Buharists from the south are not happy. This Is not a wailer thing guy.

is Daniel wazdani a southerner?
is Abdullahi Abdukar a southerner?
is Joseph Dawha a southerner?
out of 6 names 3 are southerner why 3 are from the north but the wicked north wud say they were marginalized

ycat:
Which south? Abeg speak for yourselves alone! There's no south.

Whats ur problem with me?

Southerners ask urself one thing why are the north so fixated in oil, the agenda which played b4 that gave them 80percent oil block ownership is currently ongoing.
Abuja Nigerias fct that shud be sth for all Nigerians built with Nigerias resources is being claimed by d north after they sighted Nigerias capital there for there to be a southern fct minister is like war, but u see them forcibly taking over and over running the south anyhow they want with impunity.
why we keep fighting useless fights today its Biafra, tomorrow its Niger delta next tomorrow yoruba, southerners wise up.

You? Who are you?
You said something about 'south agitating' and I asked you to speak for yourself, so how's that having problem with you? When you could have just mentioned your region.

igbos are far ahead of the yorubas in so many thing's, ur actions towards them every day makes it obvious.
Ambode banned hawking in Lagos yorubas who re majority of hawkers are jubilating because they think igbos wud be worse hit not knowing they re shooting themselves on d foot, at d end when d list of hawkers roles out and its filled with yoruba names u dirty lieing people wud be shamed.
the entire south is marginalized but u people are ok with it as far as igbos are being marginalized too.
stup1d set of people.

let Donald Trump become president of America if accepting gay marriage wud keep us away from this hate filled bastards in the north we are ok with it.

the north is trying to mk sure they are ahead of the south, they try to mk sure all the development is in there region, yet when southerners come up north to work they kill them in there numbers.
Lord Luggard I swear ur entire generation is cursed.
