The votes of the South south and South east are not enough to vote him out of power. You need the votes of the South West you hate so much so how would you chase Buhari out of power?

Sarrki what is your take on this?

Here is my take on the appointments.

1.My own is that 'Are the men qualified for the job they have been appointed for'? Because it seems to me that most people seem to equate being a Southerner with being educated and qualifed, while a Northerner is viewed as 'an inefficient quota appointee'. If the rationale for opposition to the men's appointment is tribe, and not qualificaiton for the job, then that is just plain bigotry.

2.ON the other hand, there is a reason why we have Federal Character laws in this country, and if the appointments violate federal character laws, the men must be removed.

3.And why are we Southerners grumbling? How many people have benefited from appointments made to NNPC when SOutherners held the top jobs? How many Northerners would benefit from the jobs given to these guys. Has the North benefited much from these appointments. As far as I know, the North would still be broke when these guys leave the job at the end of their tenures...the same way most of the NIger Delta is still broke despite having many people from the Delta running the NNPC since inception.

4.Seriously, I am tired of all these people making tribal arguments about jobs. Many of us Southerners live in poverty because of corrupt leaders at all levels, and yet, we expect that a few appointments to NNPC would save us? We claim that we are educated , yet we cannot use our education to actually develop things that would make us super rich. Did Dangote or Innoson work for NNPC before they made it?

5.And the Northerners who are going to defend these appointments? What has having the North in power all these years done for you people? The NOrth is still backward and poor. And see how the result of that poverty....BOko is affecting you! Will a few appointments of Northerners to NNPC top jobs help the North? Or just a few privileged ones?

Honestly I am tired of Nigerians. We have more serious issues than NNPC Job appointments. We have the potential to become a powerful manufacturing nation , producing companies that would make billions more than we are making from fuel. And instead of taking measures to achieve that goal....we are here arguing about job wey no go benefit anyone.

Call me a Zombie, call me anti-North....but it is high time we Nigerians woke up and sorted ourselves out. Otherwise we will continue in our poverty....Northerners and Southerners.

AntiIPOB:
And what do you called your own miserable self, I don't know how some of you reason? The Igbo's are busy shouting making unnecessary noise about key position in the government that they do not believed and have a stake in it,what the Bleep!,this is the man these fools pray day and night for his death.

The same Igbo's that has enter voicemail to avail the terrorist called Nnamdi kalu an opportunity to spread hate speech, you talk about Islamizing nnpc,what had madam madueke that heads nnpc over the years achieved?
your sister head nnpc and end up buying almost half of the world,I will advise you and people like you to stop seen these appointments as an opportunity to steal but to advance development in Nigeria.

The Igbo umbrella organisation is quick to response yet silence on the issue of the idiot called kalu.


The Afenifere you heard making noise are PDP apologists that are out of business since PDP was kicked out of power.


Pmb tried and still trying hard to incorporate all the section of this country to a fold yet the Igbo's look at him as a mistake,you cannot eat your cake and have it.


You cannot recognised pmb government and yet expect so much from it.

RoyalUc:


Bros, watin I do you na? Your fiancee tell you say I ask for her phone number?

Now, jokes apart. I was not in anyway supporting nepotism that has eaten deep into the fabrics of our national life. I don't support Buhari or any other leader appointing mostly, people from his region into positions where other Nigerians can properly fit in.

My worry is that, today the Northerners (or should I say most of them) are comfortable with this because it favors them and other regions are complaining. Tomorrow, we from the other side will defend same acts when it favors us while the others cry. If we feel it's wrong and condemn it today, let's do same tomorrow when our own takes charge.

I repeat. I believe in truth, equity, fairness, tolerance and peaceful coexustence.

2016v2017:
good to let all the morons supporting buhari and saying one Nigeria to see buhari idiotic ass.
It's because Nnamdi Kanu have exposed buhari evil deeds that the north are against Nnamdi Kanu and calling for his re-arrest.
SW/SS/SE wake up,it's time to face the northerners and tell them that other ethnic tribes in Nigeria are not their slaves,rather the north should be slaves to others because of their illiteracy.
Yorubas are more educated than the hausas/fulanis ,likewise other ethnic tribes in Nigeria are more educated than them,yet they want the yorubas to be under their control,why?

eyeview:
Its surprising to me that there are people who actually believe that Buhari can be objective on tribal issues. Wow.
Buhari is a tribalistic human. He cant change. His victory was a tool for the north to take over every reign of power from GEJ who was sharing things equitably for the first time.
Apc merely packaged a hardcore tribal bigot and fools fell for it.

Buhari is the most divisive president in the history of nigeria. All the agitations from separatist ipob, niger delta, etc are all traceable to buhari's words, actions and policies. Anybody stating otherwise is either naive or just lying.

Bizibi:
look,the core north don't believe in equity,fairness and co,they believe they have every right to be the first and the rest last.
Only the southerners practice F.T.P.

Eazybay:
You almost made sense, I mean in totality. You genuinely forgot the trickle down effect in this detailed explanation. If they fix themselves in the board, they fix their cronies in the job positions. If u get someone there, you stand a chance.

Manufacturing as it is requires HUGE capital. No one would crowd funding you and no one is ready to loan or invest in you. Take a good look around, besides SOME political jobbers many of the wealthy biz men you see got their startup capital from working in SANE countries.

Alcatraz005:
Can you expatiate please?

isnovic:
See it behoves the Southerners now to come to a round table and discuss the way forward.

Make peace with the North Central and discuss the way forward.

It is clear, the presidency believes only the North gave him the seat of power.

The Southern Senators and House of Representatives must organize themselves into a movement for emancipation of Southern and Central Nigeria.

They should sponsor motions that will lead to:

1. Voting for the implementation of restructuring.
2. The conduct of Biafraexit vie a referendum.
3. They should pursue with 100% vigor the relocation of all oil and gas Headquarters and Operational Head office to the SS and SE regions where there core production is from.
4. They should immediately give the oil and gas producers operating in the region ultimatum to relocate or shutdown production and mandate the MEND, IPOB, IYC to implement same without fail at the expiration of the ultimatum.
5. They should call for a re-write of the constitution. If possible by any Scandinavian House to ensure equity at play.
6. They should ensure total resource control for all minerals, oil and gas inclusive.

Anything short of these, will be wasting our time as the Northern ruling elites aims is to dominate all aspect of economic, military, manufacturing, strategic and critical infrastructure/organization before the 2019.

This will make there perpetuation in power more easy.

chiscodedon:
What do you expect from president that nepotism, chauvinism and cronyism are his order of governance.
Bitter truth; does nnpc really need to be headed by northerners?... If tribe has to be considered,I presume that nnpc should be headed by a southerner. why would such commission be headed by mostly northerners?.
You can't keep beating a child,still telling him not to cry,these are reasons why there's agitation for secession, restructuring,hate speech...After he will be saying that the unity of the country is not negotiable,while you are treating some ethnic part of the country with disdain.
buhari needs no military to fight hate speech and secession agitators,only let them feel sense of belonging, you shouldn't be favouring one ethnic group in ur appointments and expect the others to start applauding u in a country u say they belong, is only a coward and fool will do that.

Femolacaster:
Buhari has succeeded in dividing this country more than any other President.The man is an error.

ZombieTAMER:
they said a leopard cannot lose its spots
So I don't really blame buhari

When a mad man dances to a sweet tune and runs into the market square.... It's the people beating the drums for him that should be held accountable

All the zombies are enemies of state and progress .. They detest equity and justice... Especially the zombies of nairaland who have sold their senses all because of crumbs falling on their laps

ZKOSOSO:
The more you think God has taught Buhari some lessons on the need to always carry everyone along inclusively, the more he shows his true colour of a non repentant Fulani supremacist of the highest Order...
Life Patron of HateSpeech......97/5% code...

signz:
I'm surprised that I'm even surprised. I knew Buhari was a bigot but I never knew he'd take it to new heights. Abacha wasn't as bad as this.

Just like Ive always known that Buhari presidency would be bad for our economy but I never in my wildest dream knew that he would be this bad.

RoyalUc:
We must always point at 'the north.' Which Nigerian leader has been seen to be absolutely fair and equitable to all?
Since the return of democracy, how many northernern had been President and how long have they ruled? Therefore today, they claim other Nigerians don't want them to complete 'their turn' as president.
As for dominating certain institutions, which region (especialy the three major regions) is free from that offence? How many non-indegenes do we have as students and staff in UNN, UNIZIK, UNICAL, UNUIUYO, UNIPORT, UNIBEN (I learned uniben is better though it is more of politicians candidates), etc and several other federal institutions in our various regions.

The North is not our problem. We are!

9jakohai:
The trickle-down idea was not far from my mind even as I was writing my original post....that's true.

But at the end of the day...how many people does it benefit? Probably not up to a hundred.

A major annoyance I have with Nigeria is that we too dey rely on government for jobs....which is why I back industries. Yes it is hard setting them up. But that is the only way we can generate jobs et al.Dangote has generated far more jobs as a manufacturer than he did when he was (in my mother's words) a 'mere importer'.

Enough of the silly talks... expedite actions towards retrieving your assets from the Fulani lords...

Niger deltans irritate me so much... where are the avengers, the MEND IYC.

You guys now have a justified course to take back what belongs to you anyway you deem fit.

EmeeNaka:
President Buhari's plan to suffocate the SE will fail.
when we were listing his nepotistic activities as a Head of state and PTF chairman, some APC zombies said we should be ignored but now, it's clear to everyone what and where Buhari stands for.
People should not be so much bothered, Buhari can only stay for 8years maximum and get out of Aso rock. Many of us will outlive him and his administration.
