Re: Army Appoints Brigadier-General Mohammed Yerima As Spokesperson by Racoon(m):
......Brig.-Gen. Mohammed Yerima.. replaces Brig.-Gen. Saghir Musa,.........
Another one! COAS hausa-fulani muslim.Army spokesmen outgoing and incoming are all hausa-fulani muslims.Haba! There are other well qualified seniors officers in the army. So why cant they be appointed into positions?

Are these ethnic groups the only ones in the army that are eminently qualified? I remember the Directorate of Army Public Relations produced the likes of Brig.Gen. Fred Chujuka, Maj.Debo Bashorun in the time past when army chiefs were muslims.Buhari have entrench nepotism everywhere

If only they will send only Hausa fulani soldiers to sambisa forest to fight bokoharam and to the sw to fight criminal fulani herders ,but no they will rather send igbo and Yoruba youths to those dangerous places and continue to share higher ranks and senior offices amongst themselves ,nepotism is worse than corruption
