True. The sectarian president and his handlers cornered the much viable and lucrative ones that also do not require too much technical expertise or proof of competence. All to the usual side.

Very predictable.

COWS AND RAMS HAVE BEEN FULLY REPRESENTED, ONE NIGERIA

pple must complain no mata wat.

Most Nigerians do not understand that the chief breeder of corruption is nepotism. When the basis for making government sensitive appointments are not fair the people so appointed get the feeling of entitlement. They tend to seat in their comfort zone, very proud they are of the favoured tribe and that they can get away with anything; and they often do. This engenders a feeling of hopelessness in the society and even the best of individuals will not be out to do their best. You will often here the saying ''is it my fathers work''. There is no commitment. The practice of nepotism cannot bring about strong institutions but will always take us through various cycles of corruption where the outcome is what we are witnessing today with the recovery of millions of dollar from unexpected places. It time that Nigerians begin to rethink the basis for electing individuals to the seat of the president. There is no reason we should elect any individual who does not show in his track record that he has a fair mind and believes in diversity. If this was used as a basis there is no way someone like buhari can ever get elected. We saw this coming.
