You can cry till you shed blood. It never has, and never will change nothing.

You all systematically and effectively excluded yourselves from this government, and have no one to blame.

Nigeria has been healed of the blind Easternocracy that reigned under the ineffectual buffoon.

Finally regarding qualifications, which of PMB's appointees has fallen short in that regard? Your baseless conclusion is uncalled for because it lacks substance and smacks of immodesty, which is deeply uncharacteristic of someone who claims to be a northerner 'through and through'.

Babacele:
fulanimafia, while we don't want pmb to submit his government to an unrepentant hate filled enemies despite the incessant attacks to attract the attention of President and learning from the near defeat Obama suffered while seeking 2nd term, I think the president needs to be a little more sensitive. Truth is that President still enjoy huge followership in some these places that do not ipob philosophies n we can't push away . I give you an example: If Amaechi had allowed us reply ipobs Rivers violence for violence many of you would have realised the huge APC fan base that Rivers has. Would you have believed that a sitting governor an immediate president with all d ' PDP is south south' would found it difficult to win a gubernatorial election Silva being the force they were struggling with o? Or you think PMB had wanted these places ,he wouldn't have gotten them? I swear Wike didn't believe he would survive until the supreme court actually gave him a lifeline. All I'm saying is that I want the president to bring some of our guys before we loose to the other side. But you be shege yaro sha!

fulanimafia:
That's an opinion. President Buhari is vindictive no doubt, but politics is not a tea party either. Of course I am aware Buhari has a sprinkling of support in the SE, which is why we have the likes of Rochas, Onu, Ngige et al. serving in this government. Ask yourself what those names have in common, and you will agree with me that they are the ones who did not myopically and sentimentally reject the current ruling party while it sought for power. How do you expect a conservative man like PMB to appoint people who are hell-bent on ensuring his government fails and are more interested in secession; is that not a willfull invitation to sabotage?



Absolutely, Rochas, Ngige et al. exercised that right despite multi-faceted attacks on them from their people, and are key functionaries in this government. This is why in my initial comment, I emphasized that the SE, by voting as a bloc amidst a bitter, personal, dirty, sentimental, bigotry-filled and intolerant campaign of hatred; systematically and effectively excluded themselves of being significant players in this government. Needless to say, that the campaign of hatred has not stopped, and is bound to further alienate both parties. In the light of this, your above submission lacks merit sir.





Thats not true, Yorubas are well represented in this government from the MDA's to the Armed Forces (Chief of Defence Staff), including the only 'Super ministry' headed by Babatunde Fashola and the FIRS headed by Tunde Fowler which is only second to the NNPC in economic relevance. With regard to northern dominance in the security circles, that's obviously strategic especially considering the fact that PMB survived a coup which ended his last administration. You really can't blame the old man.

Finally regarding qualifications, which of PMB's appointees has fallen short in that regard? Your baseless conclusion is uncalled for because it lacks substance and smacks of immodesty, which is deeply uncharacteristic of someone who claims to be a northerner 'through and through'.

fulanimafia:
True that. I would also love PMB to be more inclusive in future appointments, but the hatred and politics of exclusion played (and is still being played)by the SE does not help matters. I continue to emphasize that those from the region that did not subscribe to the 'amala and tuwo party' school of thought are well represented in this administration.

Regarding the SW, if wishes were horses, all further appointments should come from that region and the SS.

In other news, which of the two damsels did you pick or did you just take both like I'd have done ? Badt guy .

Kilode ma?

That comment is premised on his leaving some states out of the ambassadorial appointments citing lack of qualifications. My life and every had hitherto revolved around the north, until late last year when an assignment brought me to Anambra. I know my people's tendencies, strengths and weaknesses, and shall never shy away speaking the truth at any point until such pressing issues are addressed. Such acts would have been met with widespread condemnation in the north were the acts perpetrated by say, GEJ.

It's worth realising that certain decisions are outrightly indefensible.

fulanimafia post=
Truth be told, the appointments are skewed in the North's favour; but another truism is that it is one of the spoils of political dominance. We saw the exact same thing under GEJ when the South overwhelmingly occupied the juiciest posts. We can not also discount the behavior of the SE during the election campaigns where it systematically and myopically excluded itself from the ruling party. The few that were involved are now well represented in this government (Ngige, Onu et al.) The South West is also well represented and its clear for all to see.

P.S: The 'North' is made up of 3 regions, North Central, North West and North East so quit the deception in presenting it as 1 region.

MeAboki:
Is that all?

Well here is some more news for you, the job is not yet done till we come down to your home state and replace the governor, all your lawmakers including your village chief with northerners and forcefully convert everybody to Islam.

Meanwhile you can take your selective statistics and go and jump into the nearest lagoon - BWT are those the only occupied positions under the FG, what about those you had not listed, who may be occupying them?

malton:
All due respect, sir, you've got to draw a line in the sand between support and barefaced lying. That statement is as crooked as a dog's hind leg.

Buhari seems to have lost his marbles since becoming president. I am resident in the east and can confirm to you that Buhari still has a reasonable amount of support to this day. Good people from whom he can appoint. Not to mention the neutrals.

People have a right to association. A leader brazenly isolating a particular section of the country like Buhari is doing is a recipe for disaster. He is setting a bad precedence.

What should matter is that he's now the president of all, and should act like it.

Granted, he's isolating the Igbos because they did vote against him. What reason have you made out for his leaving out the Yorubas and other southerners who voted overwhelmingly for him in the scheme of things? How much rewards have they had?

But then, you can't use yesterday's thinking in today's world. The man is behind the times in a lot of aspects. I hope you and those in support of this travesty of equity and fairness can take the heat when it eventually turns on you, and no innocent blood will be shed as a result.

Life is turn by turn.

By the way, I am a northerner through and through, born and raised. I just like to call out a spade for what it really is. Can't met out a treatment I cannot take on others. Nobody should be thought of as less specialised in anything. At least, not while they boast even more qualifications.

modath:
Incredible!!! , I love your "analysis", , I excised some so we don't belabour a very contentious issue...

Bubu took a trip 3x with "only" his people and returned 3x empty handed, he took it a group of "strangers" just once, ONCE and got lucky.. He only became a success because he took this journey as a collaboration.

It was strategic to walk with those strange bedfellows then, but when it comes to sharing the spoil of war, he had to only do it with the people he trusts, very smart and noble thinking..

... So over compensating northerners and gross disregard (though not a breach of the constitution,it's just a slap in the face of equal opportunity and fairness) for federal character principle will ensure that any attempt to remove him will fail?

Please remind us again the tribe of the people who removed him the first time? The jokes write themselves....

P.S, 2 Things Bubu needs to do for the few of us that still are managing to hold out hope in the face of despair/buyer's remorse and mocking "I told you Sos".

1. No matter how vindictive his humanity allows him to be, not all the votes he got from the east are his party members, he should try and remember what it took them and the risk they took and be magnanimous in victory... one or two that way wouldn't be amiss.

2. He should please remove Adesina, a recruitment error that is taking up valuable SW space.. We have only about 5 spots, (ministerial is constitution, ain't no favour) Adesina is not representing us well!!!

It's Yoruba Lagos IB pro Bubu publication, this is one of their posts today... seeing your "strategic" excuse just made it seem so surreal! You may believe it or not but Bubu isn't playing the game like he ought to and our people aren't clapping no more...peace.

I'm 100% sure if the errors of IB's way had been pointed to him by those who wished him well, he possibly might have side stepped so many gaffes and wouldn't have needed to blindly & mindlessly loot the treasury (with his loyal band of bandits) to prosecute an undeserved 2nd term bid...


Your logic also can't function optimally enough to distinguish between progressive criticism and regret, so therefore I can't help you. you've been noticed, back to the ignore bin!!

CHIJIOKE1314:
'Kilode ma?' says how surprised you are at Modath comment.. I expected that of her since she changed and became through Nigerian and rid herself of tribal, political and sectional sentiments. Don't you know this?..

Take a tour of her comments on this forum and learn how sincere she has transformed into(not sounding as if she is patronizing anyone) she lashes on issues without prejudice....

You on the other hand are bent on defending even the indefensible so long is about Buhari.. You are ready to even deny your birth to state the obviously not..

Enjoy the moments!
