... because Northerners thrive when there is chaos in the system. .that's how they survive ..when thing work properly the north never likes it .

Whereas the above statement may be construed as being tribalistic, the GLARING FACTS of Nigeria's sordid history ATTESTS to it's VERACITY.

That both OBJ and GEJ united Nigeria by running truly pan-Nigerian administrations where merit took priority over tribe really really annoyed the northern elites.

That both OBJ and GEJ expanded the middle class ( dominated by southerners) really really annoyed the northern elites.

That both the OBJ and GEJ invested so much on education , Northern education especially, was taken as an unforgivable insult to the northern feudal elites.
How dare OBJ and GEJ remind them of the their glaring failures against their own people.

The irony is that the type of hatred that the northern elites have GEJ or anything related to GEJ administration is oddly directly proportional to the high level of attention GEJ paid to northern education and economic development.

Again, this might appear like a tribalistic rant, but let's do away with the political correctness and call a spade a spade. After all, Buhari and brethren have absolutely NO pretences about political correctness or their agenda.

Let's take a minute and reflect, for those old enough, that anytime things appear to be getting good in Nigeria , the northern elites intervene to take us back a few decades.

Look back at 1983, when this same Buhari committed treason against his fatherland by overthrowing a Democratic government, a growing and maturing democracy.
What happened to Nigeria thereafter ?

Let's look back at 1993 when the whole nation united and voted for a new Democratic government, MKO Abiola.
Again, what happened next?
The same northern elites scuttle that peaceful transition that would have united Nigeria in more ways than imagined.

Then came Abacha, and the tyranny of that feudal Despot took Nigeria back another 2 decades.

Was it an accident that after POWER shifted to the South for the better part of the last 16years, that our economy began to grow, debts paid off, boost in education, boost in agriculture, boost in trade, the largest economic expansion since the colonial days, the largest expansion of the middle class ( the backbones of any economy) since the colonial era ?

Wow!
And what an odd coincidence (?) that the same Buhari is back, and is quickly taking Nigeria back to the LOCUST years, the years of hunger, despair and desolation.

What an odd, but very very sad coincidence indeed.

When Dr Ibe kachukwu was the NNPC GMD and minister of state for petroleum at the expense of others region, nigerians never complained. When the fuel scarcity was biting hard most nigerian called for his sack on the ground he is not competent. Now the gentle man have been relieved from his duties as GMD but still head the board of the agency, nigerians are crying wolf. The main question, what does nigerian really want? Some of those crying has forgotten in a hurry who and who were the head of these juicy agencies in last administration. Before I forget, Dr Thomas John a member of the board, is he from north or from south south? Are we only looking at who heads NNPC or competency? Would this people turn around the future of NNPC for good to benefit the common man? Would they press and appeal to the conscience of NASS to pass the PIB, laying fallow on the floor? Should we allowed these unserious NASS who are more interested on allocating life pension and immunity for themselves to continue to deceive themselves not us? For those crying selective prosecution against corruption, can we make a comparable analysis along ethnic nationalities, those who have questions to answer. If you are sincere, the north are more affected than any other region. I sincerely hope we have not forgotten that Dasuki is a full "blooded" Fulani. One would have wondered what it would have been if Dasuki was from east or south south. I was shocked yesterday when I heard that a maid who worked for a female minister had over N2 billion naira in account opened in her maid's name and she was not a signatory. A quick reflection was how that sum will transform my LGA Nkanu east in Enugu state. I am sure it will finished the roads from 4 four Conners in Ozalla to very last town Nkerefi in that LGA. Again if that allegation is true, I am left with no other option to say our politician are wicked to the bone marrow.

Dragonking:
I am glad that the whole Southern Nigeria is seeing the deception from the north.. Very soon we shall be fully United and kick the northern crooks out.

OYIBN:
Until we choose to be honest, we will only be going round in circles. All the above names were not the main reason why we are where we are. Jonathan is. Had he not marginalised the South-West

elisra:
yeah,igbos can claim or mimic any tribe but any tribe can't mimic or claim igbo

justy15:
I laugh in ching chong...where is lie Mohammed the puppet bubu propagandist to defend this one. is like they have adviced him to stop talking

Ezechinwa:
go and check your history well... use Google and check the people who surrounded Jonathan.
my question is "can we ever have one Nigeria? '
British man sees his fellow British man, they relate..
but a Nigerian see his fellow Nigerian, we ask questions like " are you Igbo/Yoruba/Hausa?.

we as a nation are just diversified in the wrong areas ( religion, tribe etc) and until we find a way to fix that.. then we solve our problems

OYIBN:
Until we choose to be honest, we will only be going round in circles. All the above names were not the main reason why we are where we are. Jonathan is. Had he not marginalised the South-West because they did not vote for PDP although they voted for him and assumed Tinubu was the same as South-West, there is no way Buhari would be President even if he had one trillion votes from the north. He would not have two-thirds of 36 states, a constitutional requirement. Jonathan relied on the northerners who were deceiving him and he was giving them plum positions while snubbing and ill-treating his brothers and sisters from his own zone, the South-West. It was too late when he realised his folly. He failed to realise that the people from South- West are so politically sophisticated that they make up their own minds independently and can't be directed by Tinubu who to vote for. He was so cruel to the South-,West and did not even listen to his party men and women from the South-West when they were complaining about marginalisation. He kept romancing the north, ill-treating South-West such that Buhari began to smell like sweet roses to the people from South-West. Myself that disliked Buhari with a passion because to me, he is a religious zealot and ethnic warload ended up voting for him. Readers who are not from the South-West must take a moment to think how they would have felt if they were from the South-West. One can say Tinubu entered one chance bus but at least South-West is getting the crumps that fall off the table. Not the best but much better than Jonathan's era. What we must all strive for is a true national leader like Mandela that would love his country and the citizens equally and galvanise them towards a common goal that will make Nigeria a great country that would be admired worldwide. Does anyone know who that Nigerian may be?

Laid2001:
People can be MUM oo.
The minister is always the chairman of the board of NNPC!
And the real power in the industry belongs to the minister as yhe MD has very limited power.
Any contract above $20mil has to go to the board chaired by Kachikwu.
All policy directions is approved by Kachikwu.
The industry has been suffering since this man has been double hatting!

All important issue including this new board is at the recommendation of the minister.!

New licencing round is coming and the minister is the key person on this.

That sowore, surely does not know the industry!.

Who even remembers the GMDs that worked with Diezani?
She used 5 GMD over the spate of her five years as Minister.!


The power in the Nigerian oil sector is with the minister

anonimi:
How can you lie so blatantly by saying Jonathan marginalised the south west?
How?
He wanted to make a Yoruba woman- Mulikat Akande- the Speaker of the HoR. Our Asiwaju Asiwere & Gbajabiamila plotted against that and installed Tambuwal instead.
Not so



https://cdn.thenigerianvoice.com/images/content/hon_mulikat_akandeadeola_1.jpg



He started the reconstruction of the Lagos-Ibadan express road that our son of the soil- Ebola Owu had abandoned for eight years.
Not so



https://www.post-nigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/fQV0057.jpg




The two performing ministers in his cabinet were Yorubas- Adesina and Aganga.
Not so

Perhaps you have a different meaning for marginalisation that you will share with us.

Dereformer:
Do you think southern Nigeria will ever be united? I doubt. The type of hatred the Igbos and the Yorubas have for each other is unprecedented.
Some people are benefiting from this animosity and I believe the North is using divide and rule approach to deceive the south.

I keep saying it, any politician that succeeds in uniting the sw and the se should be giving a southern award.

The day the SE and SW embrace each other and form a new alliance towards self determination, Northern influences will stop.

In another news:Osibanjo to be replaced by-guess who?

frankline5:
Una never see any thing.
I wonder how sensible people voted for buhari while knowing fully well how bigoted he is.

Shame on Tinubu

Shame on soyinka

Shame on falana

Shame on pastor bakere

Shame on ezekwesili

Shame on Amaechi

Shme on all zombies that were deceived with the propaganda that "bigot buhari" is a change agent.
