Funny enough, the chairperson Fareedah Dankaka is a Yoruba woman from Offa in Kwara state. You guys should blame it on those mofos wey make a very large part of Kwara State north, northern Nigeria should ordinarily have started from after Jebba bridge

The newly appointed chairperson for FCC is a Yoruba from Ofa, Kwara state, North Central Nigeria.

When the better South speak, our South West neighbors joins our oppressors to call us "5%" because their brother is the second in command.

What would you want us to do?

How can anyone take you serious with this level of your self delusion.
Only you "Better South", Jews, etc.

Honestly, everyone knows the SW is fine with division and both SE and North don't want division. Your shout for Biafra secession is only audio cry for attention.

Unfortunately the wise few from SE have to suffer because of the foolish majority.

bizme:
I want to believe there are saner Nairalanders from the South East than the dimwits who are trying to look for an opportunity to throw brickbats at the SW. This is the problem some of you have. Instead of attending to the issue on ground, your vacuous brain only sees an opportunity to continue your age-long tribal rivalry. And that is why your condition will never improve: you refuse to learn. Chidoka has raised a pertinent issue, but many of you are too shallow to even understand how to responsibly pass comment on that, or to support him. Instead, the same losing battle that got you into your predicament is what you're returning to.

You have ended up saying nothing

I say it once again. If Nigeria, as presently constituted, ever has a Southern-origin President and this individual does not follow the Buhari Template of ethnicising appointments, I will call out that President as a fool, coward and a failure as long as he/she is in office.

To suite your own narrative, Kwara has suddenly become one of the 6 South Western States.

Jobabori:

She is a Muslim and from north central.

Stop being silly.
The only region who have been vocal and have the history of being involved in seperation is the Old Eastern Nigeria of which the SE is a main component.
Of course you know this. Wonder what this silliness is for?

In this country now what I feel is I live my life, be able to make money to feed family and assist loved ones, and pray the stupid government does not make a policy that will affect me negatively. And then praying for Nigeria to end in pieces.

To complain don tire person.


Bleeped up country

The fact that there's a board called FCC itself means Nigeria is not united and can NEVER be united. We keep pretending that all's well just to share oil money. We are a doomed country. We can never be a nation!

tamdun:

Must u mention SW in everything, Buhari appointed his nothern brother, an Igbo man complained, so wetin b SW own?

Don't mind these folks. They want to have the right to insult and denigrate others without repercussion. Listen to the nitwit proclaiming his ethnic group "better South" obviously as a slight against the SW.

The people deserve the govt they get. We warned but no one listened.

TheFacelessMan:


I am more intelligent than your entire generations COMBINED can dream to be.

This comment further proves my point.
You just replied like a typical averagely intelligent Nigerian would when offended.......Throw irrational insults.

Most of our foolish southwest citizens will keep mute. Until we stand and fight against the fake union with the Northern-Fulani caliphate as a means to make certain regions minors, we have totally lost our heritage power and intellect.


I cry for my people!

The clannish chap then claims the SW joins their oppressors because "our brother" is Vice President. Next minute he is playing victim.

Agitating for Biafra or regionalism doesn't necessarily need to be violent, volatile and condescending to other tribes who may not share your modus operandi of achieving such.

Yorubas have always agitated for Oduduwa republic or regionalism as Biafra, but Yorubas are known to do things with brain rather than muscle.

Shouting up and down doesn't change anything, it all boils down to careful and strategic planning.

The more the brain the lesser the muscle.

This Man will not destroy Nigeria with nepotism.
May God heal our land.

When the considerations that produce appointments to the present board of the Federal Character Commission do not align with the duties to be performed by the Commission, one wonders at the expectations

FCC: Appointment of northerners as Chairman, Secretary negates federal character — Chidoka

*Asks Senate to reject northern nominee for FCC chairman

A chieftain of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Osita Chidoka, has called on the Senate to reject the nomination of candidates from northern states of Kwara and Taraba as chairman, and secretary, respectively, of Federal Character Commission, FCC.

Chidoka said the nomination violated Section 4 of the subsidiary legislation which states that the distribution of position shall be across the zones.

He said that it had always been the tradition that Chairman and Secretary are from the North and South, respectively, for the same reason past governments, including that of Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, had appointed northerners as chairmen and southerners as secretaries.

According to Chidoka, “where the number of positions available cannot go round the states of the federation or the Federal Capital, the distribution shall be on zonal basis, but in the case where two positions are available, the positions shall be shared between the northern and southern zones.”

The former Aviation Minister recalled that when President Muhammadu Buhari appointed Mohammed Bello Tukur, the Legal Adviser of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, as Secretary of the FCC, many thought it was to pave the way for the first southern Chairman of the commission.

He said: “Instead in a rather brazen act the penultimate acting Chairman Mallam Shettima rather than handover to a southern commissioner handed over to the Secretary of the Commission.

“The President in violation of Chapter 2 of the constitution aptly named Fundamental Objectives and Directive Principles of State Policy that provides in Section 13 that;

“It shall be the duty and responsibility of all organs of government, and of all authorities and persons, exercising legislative, executive or judicial powers, to conform to, observe and apply the provisions of this Chapter of this Constitution’ has appointed a Chairman in violation of the spirit and letters of our laws.

“Chapter 2 Sec14(3) expressly mandates that ‘The composition of the Government of the Federation or any of its agencies and the conduct of its affairs shall be carried out in such a manner as to reflect the federal character of Nigeria and the need to promote national unity, and also to command national loyalty, thereby ensuring that there shall be no predominance of persons from a few state or from a few ethnic or other sectional groups in that government or in any of its agencies’.

“But this government has consistently violated one of the most ingenious and ambitious affirmative actions entrenched in our constitution to promote national unity uniquely named Federal Character.”

Northerners historically speaking do not want the restructuring of Nigeria 's federal system to make way for the devolution of federal powers to the region/state.


The average northerners prefer the centralization of federal powers as they use it to exploit the south.

The British colonial government that was in charge of Nigeria in the pre independence period concentrated most of Nigeria 's powers under the northern control before the military coup of 1966 led by Late Major Kaduna Chukwuma Nzeogwu tried to end the northern control.

You guys are the foolish people not South West folks. Who would join you bigots fight the Northerners when we know you are far worse,
A million times more tribalistic and much more clannish?

Was this not how the Bigot Stella Odauh went on a retrenchment 0rgy against Yorubas in her Ministry, when Minister under GEJ, to replace them with Igbos.

Any smart and 'aware' Yorubas know you guys are by far the most unfair-minded and selfish folks in Nigeria.

For example, I don't know any time in our history any Northerners sought to make other Northerners heads of important institutions and parastatals in the SW as Azikiwe greedily tried to achieve.

You cannot fool the SW with your vocal hatred of the North. We don't do 'enemy of my enemy is my friend' like you lot.

Because one region is ashamed of what they brought upon themselves.

ekestic1976:


It didn't start today, Bro. Was Dr Ekwueme not Vice President before now? Was Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe not "President" when the SEEDS of the present lopsidedness were sown? Perhaps you were too young to know (but you may ask) the person who ABOLISHED the Regions and introduced a UNITARY government in Nigeria. Even when Awolowo was writing about TRUE FEDERALISM as far back as 1947, some people were forming African nationalist, even when they couldn't carry through their Free Education policy in their Region in1953. Ask questions about Nigeria, but not from Marginalisation mouthers who only tell the story as it suits them!

Even at aburi accord where ojukwu stated all he wanted which was true federalism, where every region control their resources, equal recruitment into military. Ur almighty awolowo didn't tell Gowon that was the right thing to do.

We are all hypocrite in this nation, from the onset. Nigeria is a failed project let's keep deceiving our selves

Too bad if true.
Common things as Federal Character should not be too much to ask for.
This regime has always being pointed out for bias in a multitribal system as ours.
What is good for goose, is good for gander.
