I believe op deliberately dissed Rochas so much because he knows that's the only way non-Imo Igbos will not descend on him.
I would have given you a thumbs up but you were not brave enough to take the bull by the horns.

However, as long as you have decided to give Buhari a chance and not wail all over the place then it's ok.

As usual people will just read the headlines or just one paragraph then comment.

Jeromejnr:
I can never be a wailer. No matter how much.

Werey!

Thank you GEJ for the initiative
Sai Buhari!
Sai Nigeria!

hinwazaka:
please can you state categorically the achievements of the appointees, that made them edge out their competitors for the job.

Google will do a better job than me and oh! remember we are not searching for achievements but trustworthiness and clean track records.

Thank yous sir!

Since it's in vogue to check demographics of appointees rather than their track records, very well then we shall do so. While most of us are shouting "Northern Agenda" Let's take a closer look at this expression called "North". Let's be sincere, when we hear North, the first thing that comes to mind is Hausa/Fulani/Muslim. But we have all forgotten or simply refused to learn that North is divided into
Geographically:
1. North East
2. North West
3. North Central

Demographically:
1. Core Muslim
2. Almost 200 Minority tribes
3. A fair chunk of Christian population
4. Hausa/Fulani plus Kanuri Majority Tribes

Simply put, the North is 5 times more complex than the South.
Now let's examine possible reasons why we just assume North to be Hausa/Fulani/Muslim. The answer is not rocket science. It's simply because Hausas and Fulanis have been dominating the Northern scene since forever. Now let's take a closer look at Buhari's Northern appointments so far;
Did we miss the fact that a fair number of the ones in sensitive posts are from minority tribes and in fact Christians??
Now help me ask yourselves, when last did Northern Christians get recognition? When last did we hear of tribes like Kilba, Angas, Tula, Waja? Is it not indeed some sort of change from the usual Hausa/Fulani/SS/Yoruba/Igbo/Muslim we keep hearing all over the place? Ok nau. Are we aware of the SGF is a Pastor of proven integrity? Don't you think that empowering and recognizing the Christians and minority tribes will go a long way in checking insurgencies and attacks on these vulnerable people by Fulani herdsmen, etc? Are you now trying to say that these minorities in the North who have never been given recognition but have been patiently waiting are lower and inferior Nigerians? Don't they deserve spots just like the conventional Yorubas which make up SW, Igbos which make up SE and then the different SS tribes?

I'm not done yet. Have we noticed that these appointees are not your usual politicians? Does that not mean that it won't be the "awon goons mi" business as usual? They were almost regular people until Buhari made them popular, meaning they don't have a never-ending list of goons they need to reward. I know most disappointed APC fans had placed their bets on Onu, Fashola, and Ameachi. They have erroneously seen Nigeria politics as a sport betting game or a fantasy football league where you conjure up your own "dream team". Smh.

If we still insist on this marginalization talk can we ask ourselves these questions?;

1. Is there more stable electricity in North than in the south?
2. The clean up in sectors so far, does it in the long run affect only Northerners? If the EFCC, Customs, pensions, NNPC etc are functioning properly does it not mean better for us as a whole? When last did you queue for fuel?
3. Buhari just ordered clean up of ogoni areas, (let's not forget we just had an ND son there for the past five years!) Are Northerners the ones to benefit from this exercise?

Can we please just relax our muscles a bit while we watch how things eventually play out?
I don't know why the average Nigerian does not think outside the box. These points here are things I pray each and every person reading this will ponder on with at least half an open mind. This is the first time I will be begging the mods to move my thread to FP. My message must touch as many hearts as possible.
Call me a hopeless Nigeria-lover. Yeah I know I am because I'm the type that loves with all my heart, I may get angry but I still love.

Good bless The Federal Rebublic of Nigeria!
Sai Buhari!

Cheers!


Lalasticlala, Ishilove, Obinoscopy.

ejirede:
do you really think if Buhari had picked another northerner has his running mate in the last elections,the southwesterns would have voted for him massively ?

Osinbanjo is most respected VP in Nigeria ever. If this was all about ethnicity, he would have been relegated to the background once mission is accomplished!

omenka:
My dear Sweetlemon, it is a big shame honestly. The elevation of mundane sentiments to such heights as to be the major determinants of who gets what became the norm under that useless ex president- it is the only legacy he left behind after his nearly six years of utter misrule.

He has fractured the Nigerian psyche along such lines as ethnicity, religion and region so much so that even supposed educated fellows have now joined the bandwagon of celebration of mediocrity just as long as "their brother" is the mediocre.

All I do is ignore those nuances whenever I can and try to persuade those who care to listen that these faultlines are being accentuated and even in some cases created by politicians who leverage on them to consolidate their power.

I have never had a doubt in my mind Baba means well for this nation and no amount of blackmail by those who swore Baba would fail and would never see anything good in any action he takes would change that belief.

They can wail for all I care- it is not like they have anything else to do with their lives.

Honey, you are simply wonderful! No wonder you are from the middlebelt. Beautiful people with people souls.
I wish I had your kind of faith bro. But I just need to bow out and just siddon look perhaps from the USA now cos I AM TIRED of people who do not have the faintest idea what they really want and what it takes to get what they want. Even when Buhari does something well, these people will pull it down with their own hands.
I just cant deal no more! I just kent!

modath:
I do not care if he is the best thing after sliced bread.. that post is for Ogbonnaya Onu!!

Cant believe I'm saying this but where were the so called "clean & incorruptible appointees" when the Amaechi, Fashola, Ngige, Jagaban et al were laying it all on the line for PMB to clinch that post...

OMG, some people are gonna so drag meeeeeeee!!!

This hurts...

And what make your narrow mind think that this guy did not also do some running around for Buhari?? That he's not as popular as they are does not mean he didn't also work his butt off.

How much will Ogbonaya give you biko?

Yeah you heard me right.
I am tired!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When news of appointments breaks out, the first thing people will do is check the state of origin. Really? So track record is no longer important? Mr Fowler that was a Southerner was he not later shown to have fake certificates? And please don't give me that crap about competent people being in other tribes cos we all know for fact most people would prefer him to employ incompetent people from their regions rather than competent people from the North. And yes even some so called APC supporters too! Some Yorubas would also be feeling left out because they don't have "enough" appointments. Then when governance goes back to being business as usual with the same stories of missing hard currencies every week, we start crying for our sorry selves. Of the new list of appointments, there are 6 of them in number. fine 3 or 4 of them are Northerners but there are 3 Christians there plus one 0r two SSners. One name looks middlebeltan too. I checked this Col. Hameed's record and he is squeaky clean. But no he's not good enough for some people because he's a Northerner?
For Christ's sake ask your distracted selves these questions:

1. There has been even distribution of electricity for a while now, did he give orders for more to go to the North? Is there more stable electricity in North than in the south?
2. The clean up in sectors so far, does it in the long run affect only Northerners? If the EFCC, Customs, pensions, NNPC etc are functioning properly does it not mean better for us as a whole? When last did you queue for fuel?
3. Buhari just ordered clean up of ogoni areas, let's not forget we just had an ND son there for the past five years!

I could go on and on about certain structures Buhari has put in place for Nigerians as a whole. Things that will benefit YOU and ME. Ordinary, everyday Nigerians. Not appointments. Biko was your father or uncle jostling to make the list? So why are you so concerned about any other thing about the list apart from track record If he appoints all from SW, if he makes the appointments equal among all regions will a single kobo get into your pocket Will it affect your personal lives in anyway whatsoever? Dammit mehn! Damn this shiit!
I really don't know when and how manage Nigeria moved from having two Muslim Presidential candidates without anyone batting an eyelash to all this religious and ethnic melodramas.

Honestly I'm so tired now. Maybe I should just relocate to the USA or something. Nigerians really get what they deserve. I'm just happy that Buhari doesn't seem moved by unnecessary outcries and may God grant him the strength to be able to remain resilient and focused on his mission.

I'm so disgusted!
When news of appointments break out, the fist thing people will do is check the state of origin. Really? So track record is no longer important? Mr Fowler that was a Southerner was he not later shown to have fake certificates? The way I'm seeing it, people would prefer him to employ incompetent people from their regions rather than competent people from the North. Then when governance become business as usual, we start crying for our sorry selves. I really don't know when and how manage Nigeria moved from having two Muslim Presidential candidates without anyone batting an eyelash to all this religious and ethnic melodramas.

Honestly I'm beginning to get tired of the Nigerian dream. Maybe I should just relocate to the USA or something. Nigerians really get what they deserve. I'm just happy that Buhari doesn't seem moved by unnecessary outcries and may God grant him the strength to be able to remain resilient and focused on his mission.

RedCard1:
Everything is going to the North.

So there's nothing for South South.

Well, even GEJ who's from the south gave it all to Northerners.

I believe Buhari's regime will yield positive changes but we need to diversify on people that gets appointments.

I'm sure you saw a senator Ita Enang there on that list?

001ng:
Northerners, winner takes it all.



That's a bad precedent in a multi ethnic country like Nigeria.


PMB, I voted you but I don't support this. Don't let my neighbours , friends and family members that were against my support for you laugh at me.

I don't think you voted for him cos from the emboldened you obviously have issues with Northerners.
But I don't get what people are crying about sha. There are 3 Christian names there and 2 southerners out of 5 nominations. So what is your big issue?

Tunami:
dis buhari has shown that he is a tribalistic presido, apc shame

Please spare me.
Out of 5 names there are 3 Christian names there and 2 Southerners.
What else do you want biko?

SOUNDKING:
mr man,stop ranting,any day a Biafran man dies because a yoruba killed him,that day shall you loose lagos,,trust IPBO.

See action feem! Ghen ghen ghen. Oya do Jackie chan!

EasternLion:

I'm just pitying the true and real illustrious sons and daughters of Ndigbo that you guys are embarrassing.

shaddoww:
election own never die down, he dey bring another one, I hope he doesn't say provocative words wey fit vex Lagosians oooo, he should know dey have alot to loose should any violence erupt in Lagos

Ha! You've never been to his twitter page then. He called Lagos the dirtiest city in the world.

ekenedegreat:
And you think your people won't be included? I just don't understand the way you reason.

This right here is my exact problem with you guys cos when wahala bursts some uninformed Yorubas and Northerners will tag both SS/SE as same. So annoying!

Yorubatic and ibotic, over to you.

What are you mentioning me for?
Oh you are now in Yoruba territory insulting and calling them and your President names? Oya clap for yourselves!

But I hope nobody will come here to cry victim when the oba threatens to throw you into the Lagoon?

I need a more confirmed report.

Sometimes your starting point does not necessarily determine how well you will finish. Some start well and finish badly, some start badly and finish well.


BUT

I wouldn't say Ambode has been idle. If not anything he has done something about the tankers and trailers making life miserable for people working and living around Apapa. That was the first thing he did on resuming work.

Akwa-Ibom


Ado ok!

LMAO!
I just checked now that this thread was last year. No wonder barcarnista could speak his mind then. Now he badly needs the same Igbos to help promote his PDP campaign and they naively believe him

Obiagelli:
the days of self criticism is over, if you want to be accepted in the east, Attack the hausas or Yorubas and you become the son of the soil. Recent igbo leaders ride on that emotion.

This is why NL Igbos hate me so much. Most just can't stomach the fact that an Akwa-Ibomite can join forces with other regions and not the SE.
Sorry my dears, I will NEVER ever accept your style of hate-Yoruba-and-Hausa politics cos it leads absolutely nowhere at all whatsoever

barcanista:
Honestly, I keep questioning the sincerity of some Igbos whenever they eulogies Ikemba Ojukwu...

ThÍs same Ojukwu with the help of Chief Chekwas Ókorie lost the 1983 SENATÓRIAL poll, after obtaining the ticket on a pLatter of Gold with help from OkorÍe. He lost to a lowly ranked nÉwbie.

This same Ojukwu was Ñot invited to the Burial of the Late Owelle of Owerri, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe

This same Ojukwu was denounced PUBLICLy and in Newspapers by Ohanaeze Indigbo, after he took the Title Ezeigbo Gburugburu

This same Ojukwu was brought in to APGA by its founder Chief Chekwas Okorie to contest the Presidential election of 2003. He was defeated in Anambra State and the entirer SE by incumbent Obasanjo.

The Same Ojukwu that was insulted and called a BÉTRAYER by Chief Chekwas Okorie after he sided with VictÔr Umeh for Þhe APgA party Çhairmanship tussle.

This Same Ójukwu that was told to step down for Uzor Kalu by PPA Chieftains (Igbos) in the 2007 Presidential poll because he's not "sellable"

ThÉ same Ojukwu that could not Save Peter Obi's impeachment in 2006 despite his condemnation of the exercise and was bluffed publicly when he called "the PDP dominated house to order"

The same Ojukwu that was humiliated at the Onitsha High Court before then Justice Obiora Nwazota. The Judge refused to entertain Ojukwu legal suit against Ohanaeze.

LMAO!
When I say that politically, Igbos don't just seem to know what EXACTLY they want, some low self-esteemed bull will start stalking me.
They don't want Presidency, they don't want biafra, they don't want the senate, they don't want nada. The most painful thing is that they now blame others for their lack of not knowing what they want.
Business-wise Igbos are the bomb, academically Igbos are hot, professionally Igbos no dey carry last. But politically? Chai! As in ehn. ZERO.

Who are the "Nigerians" there? Please edit it to GEJ supporters.

azzima:
EVEN the Ijaw militants are now cooperating for a new Nigeria, moving forward. The other day,it was the PDP in BAYELSA that defected to APC. Na ONLY the Igbos that are crying more than the bereaved with Bitterness. They are a the only one left standing by themselves now. Talking about marginalisation by your own self. Sad!

You hit the nail on the head bro. Their hate will soon choke them to a miserable end (the bigots though cos there are some sensible Igbos)

melzabull:
ode, who cares about your hate? is that why you keep creating senseless threads here and there? hypocrite

You are a dunce! what gives you the impression that you are as beautiful as me? self consolation. suit yourself bItch. I have obliged you on this thread, next time be bold enough to return the favour, stop running and picking where to show your st√pid self, the links are there madam bitterdemon

How many of them has opened useless threads like you? you keep having nightmares over people that don't give a sh1t about you even taking your hate to twitter (according to you) lmao...unlike you that sleep, drink and eat igbo, b1tch!

just go sleep, yeye thing

Return what favour? Obliging you on another thread so you can infect me with your slimy low self-esteemed hate-others-so-I-can-feel-better self? Hell No. I'm too beautiful for that and so I don't need to bring another fellow woman down just to make myself feel more acceptable. Keep hating me if it makes you feel a lil bit more lovable, if it makes your sorry, empty life worth the next breath. Keep stalking me all over the place, but as for me, this is the very my last time I will be quoting you now that I really know what your problem is cos I've been wondering why you chose me of all the other openly vile Igbo haters to fight with. Definitely it's about something I have that you can only dream of in your depressing, suicidal life! If you really have guts go and re-open a moniker that is very identical with your last one lets all see who you are.

Good evening!

melzabull:
I am not any of the afformentioned you disgusting thing.

Secondly and FYI I actually supported and voted you up to the last round. Even when you were being hounded for your sauciness and incorrigible attitude, I merely stayed back and watched hoping you would see reason with those who admonished you but no! your ITK won't let you.

Thirdly, I barely remembered your moniker until Patel when I started seeing your hateful comments against anything Igbo. I observed for a moment to see if its a one-off thing but No, it was habitual. You get moist on sighting 'Igbo'. Im only keeping my promise of keeping an eye on you

look at this thing. Why have you always dogged my mentions? you chose to respond on this thread but shied away from others, foolish coward, you think you can have reprieve here? I will respond to you here and will still send links to others....useless fool even bragging... lmao

Yeah, yeah. That's what they all say. Like I'm supposed to stil care about it!
I have long since stopped trying to explain myself to people like you that what I hate is the way you play your politics and not your tribe itself. If you are so determined to believe that I hate you, if you are so determined to keep carrying the us-against-the-world load on your head, then please be my guest. I no jus send una anymore.
And oh! If remembering how beautiful I looked makes you so depressed that you have decided to come all out for me in particular, of all the other vile Igbo haters on NL, then please do. I don't want be responsible for anyone committing suicide ok? whatever makes you feel better about your shapeless, loveless self suits me just fine.

See ya lerra girl!

melzabull:
foolish goat! stop feeling important cos you are grossly inconsequential. And I mean you personally

Odikwa very serious. Meaning you have personal issues with me?
Since you kept referring to the Miss NL at some point, I'm thinking you're one of those girls who sat on my case earlier on NL after that unfortunate pageant. Itzmodella or Tasha, one of those lepacious dry bones looking girls or maybe that Linda something girl who contested with us then at the Miss NL thing then turned around to hate me after the bed guy gists. I saw that one's pic. Shapeless orobo like that. I know this your moniker is a new one, most of you miserable low-self esteemed things that only found the tiniest sense of self-worth by hating on me, including ogugua who taunted me then have all deactivated their monikers in shame. But guess what? Sweetlemon is still standing strong and I'm not like before when I allowed you guys get to me you're damn lucky I don't know which of them you are cos baby I can be nastily mean when I'm pushed to the wall. I hit you right in your most sensitive spot! Just look at you hiding behind a new moniker just to attack me!
But let me indulge you. Keep ranting like a tortured baby tormented by evil spirits in the middle of the night ok? It is well.

Cheers!

midolian:
lol.. I don't have to support everything buhari does..you should know that

Don't mind them.
They think Buharists are blind supporters like GEJites who will support anything GEJ does. Most of them see this as football club fan kind of game where you stay loyal to your club no matter what. I will always support Chelsea but that's because Chelsea does not owe me no infrastructural developments, security, or economic stability. So I can afford to gamble all I want with Chelsea.
