Once again the obvious basic problem of the Igbo race comes to fore. Internal rivalry.

Slave treatment, he should blame awolowo for his woes.

“The first count charge, which was
“cowardly behaviour”, was struck out but he
was found guilty on count charge number
two which was “failure to perform military
duties” and was dismissed from the

NOMINEES FROM THE SOUTH-WEST
•Dr Kayode Fayemi – Ekiti
•Babatunde Fashola – Lagos
•Mrs Kemi Adeosun – Ogun
•Mr Adebayo Shittu – Oyo
•Prof Isaac Adewole – Osun
•Prof Omoyele Daramola – Ondo
The South West is the only group, who because
they’re looking for offices in President Buhari’s
government, are resorting to what Yoruba people
call; “If you can catch him kill him; if you
cannot get to kill him, demobilise him.”
We are at each other’s jugular raising
irrelevances about ourselves, destroying
ourselves before President Buhari. Have you
heard such about other people in other parts of
the country? It is unfortunate, we should go back
to Ogunde’s “Yoruba ronu.” Let’s put our
thinking caps on. Enough of self destruction.
— Chief Olusegun Osoba

By Dapo Akinrefon
AFTER four months of waiting, President
Muhammadu Buhari has finally released the
names of ministerial nominees expected to form
the Federal Executive Council, FEC.
Before the announcement of the nominees,
expectations were high that the successful
candidates would assist Buhari in actualising the
‘CHANGE’ promised by the All Progressives
Congress, APC.
With the backing of the 1999 Constitution, the
president has ensured that the federal character
principle is followed to the letter with each state
of the federation being represented at FEC.
The Nigerian Constitution requires at least one
minister to be named from each of the 36 states
of the federation.
The eventual list, no doubt, was greeted with
mixed reactions with Nigerians having their
reservations.
Some members the APC are also not comfortable,
with murmurings and grumblings trailing the
nominees.
Mr. Abdur-Raheen Adebayo Shittu
Members of the APC in the South-West have also
expressed their misgivings over the list as some
leaders, reportedly are at loggerheads over the
successful candidates that made the list.
Interestingly, the South-West parades men and
women, who have distinguished themselves in
their various fields of expertise.
Perhaps, the successful nominees were picked
based on the profound changes they have
effected in various capacities.
The nominees from the South-West are Kayode
Fayemi, former governor of Ekiti State; former
governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola; a
former commissioner for finance in Ogun State,
Kemi Adeosun; former governorship candidate of
CPC in Oyo state, Adebayo Shittu.
Also from the zone, are a former Vice Chancellor
of the University of Ibadan, Professor Isaac
Adewole from Osun State and a professor of
sociology, Professor Claudius Omoyele Daramola
from Ondo State.
Former govs
Of all the nominees, the South-West parades two
former governors, who would work closely with
the president.
Messrs Fashola and Fayemi, alongside other
nominees from the zone, have been known to
display a high level of dexterity in their previous
respective capacities.
Controversy trailing the list
There is no doubt that divergent views trailed the
list submitted by President Buhari in some states
within the zone.
Shittu enjoys support of Oke Ogun
In Oyo State, for instance, the debate over the
choice of Adebayo Shittu continues to garner
heat.
It was gathered that Shittu, a governorship
candidate of the defunct CPC in Oyo State, was
not the choice of Governor Abiola Ajimobi.
From the onset, Gov. Ajimobi had opposed
Shittu’s nomination.
Perhaps sensing the nudge to throw his weight
behind Shittu’s nomination, the governor said he
has forgiven him.
Ajimobi said he would never oppose Shittu’s
nomination since it was the choice of the
president.
“It is the president’s prerogative to select or
nominate his ministers but the practice has
always been in consultation with the state,” he
said.
He, however, said Buhari was the leader of the
party and had told members to allow him select
those who would work with him.
"Shittu himself has come to me and has
apologised. He knew he was always against me
and the party. He campaigned against us. To
forgive is divine. If we all pray to God to forgive
us our sins, then we should learn to forgive
others. A leader must learn to accommodate and
forgive. I have forgiven him,” he said.
The legal practitioner is, however, said to enjoy
support from Oke-Ogun, his hometown.
The Oyo State Coalition group reminded the
Senate of many years of neglect and
marginalization that the zone had suffered at the
hands of successive governments in the state.
The group comprises trade groups, professionals,
artisans, the elderly and the youths.
Described as a grassroot politician, Shittu is said
to be a team player with an ardent desire to bring
rapid development to the community.
Fayose rallies NASS support for Fayemi
During the June 21 governorship election in Ekiti
State, Governor Ayodele Fayose trounced his
predecessor, Dr Kayode Fayemi.
Remarkably, Fayemi conceded defeat after the
election as a means of dousing the already tensed
atmosphere in the state.
Perhaps as pay back time, Fayose has directed
lawmakers representing the state at the National
Assembly to ensure Fayemi has a hitch-free
screening by the Senate.
No hassle for Adeosun in Ogun
In Ogun State, the nomination of Mrs. Kemi
Adeosun did not come as a surprise as was
expected.
Adeosun’s nomination was as a result of the
closeness of Governor Ibikunle Amosun and the
president, both of whom were in the defunct All
Nigeria’s Peoples Party, ANPP.
As a matter of fact, Adeosun’s name was penciled
down to return as commissioner, having served
as the immediate past Commissioner for Finance
in Ogun State.
Also, the Ogun Grassroots Development
Awareness Forum, described her as an
innovation-driven go getter that Nigeria needs in
her march to a new culture of governance that is
based on integrity and performance.
Aregbesola at a loss?

The Osun State governor, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola
and a leader of the party, were reported to be at
each other’s throats over the nomination and
submission of ministerial candidates for the state.
Though the state chapter of the APC has refuted
the claims, but the two leaders struggled to
ensure their nominees made the list.
The name of a former governor of the state,
Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola was touted to be on
the list but eventually, Professor Adewole ended
up taking the Osun State slot.
Ondo APC in waiting game
Prior the announcement of the second batch of
the ministerial nominees, APC leaders in Ondo
State, were sharply divided over who would
represent the state at the FEC.
In fact, an atmosphere of anxiety and tension
pervaded the state chapter of the party over its
non inclusion in the first list forwarded to the
Senate by the President.
Tongues were wagging by party loyalists as to
why none of the over 15 contenders in the state
made the first batch.
The three nominees said to be in the fore front
include the former governorship candidate of the
defunct Action Congress of Nigeria ACN in the
state, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu (SAN), the Vice
Chairman of the APC in the South West, Chief
Pius Akinyelure, and a female politician from Ose
Local Council of the state, Mrs Oredola.
At the end of the day, the president settled for a
sociologist, Professor Daramola to fill the Ondo
State slot.
For Fashola, its transformation all the way
The nomination of former governor of Lagos
State, Mr Fashola did not come easy.
Resistance from his home state was put up to
ensure his name was dropped by President
Buhari.
In fact, an allegation of corruption and financial
impropriety was leveled against him in a quest to
cast him in a bad light.
A petition, purportedly aimed at smearing the
former governor’s name was sent to the
president.
However, at the end of the day, the president
turned deaf ears to all the allegations and sent
his name to the Senate for screening.
There is no gainsaying the fact that Fashola
provided a developmental template which was
adopted by many states across the federation.
During his eight year tenure, Fashola approached
his work as Lagos State governor with unusual
fervor; he felt challenged and inspired by the
examples of global transformational leaders.
It is expected that his input would have far
reaching impact in the Buhari administration.

The first count charge which was "Cowardly
Behaviour" was struck out but he was found
guilty on Count Charge Number Two which was
"Failure to Perform Military Duties" and was
Dismissed from the Nigerian Army.

They call us cowards.....we threatened succession...Fulani are now running up and down...they threatened succession....they were beaten black and blue.....i no mention tribe oooo
We dont brag,we act
they dont act,they brag

superstar1:
They know the consequences of Yoruba's threat.

A sample was meted out at Oke Ogun. Even Buhari being in Aso Rock will not save them. The outside world can only hear what the press reports and be rest assured, there shall be no reportage of any incidence, borne out of unwarranted provocation of some criminal elements among the fulanis.

Good development. They should rid themselves of the ones that have criminal tendencies.

simplex2:
Yes I am a proud Igbo, devoid of stupid sentiments. Tell me again, why didn't all these agitations start during the 5 yrs tenure of GEJ?

Abagworo:
You can easily judge from Nairaland. Only PDP Igbos are agitating for the fake Biafra because Jonathan lost.

abagoro:
The spokesperson wasn't truthful. They rejected their salaries because of disagreement with government on salary scale not that Government refused to pay them. What they are fighting is Government reduction of their salary scale to be at per with other ministries and other States.

PenSniper:
Aside from the falsehood inherent in your claim, let me remind you that only dummies with dwarfed mentality and a defective cognitive reasoning copy bad behaviours and make a show of it with pride.
Therefore, your post simply acknowledged Ibos as a bunch of dummies devoid of their own mind and sound reasoning faculty.

disumusa:
i mean just to use them to achieve biafra dream, later turn them to minorities and dominate them.

PenSniper:
Am in doubt if you wrote this with mundane wisdom.
You have a perfect understanding of the psychic of the Ibo and have put it succinctly.
The way they go about making enemies of most tribes in Nigeria and establishing odious reputations for themselves outside the shores of this country makes me shudder to think they may be destined for partial extinction.
No tribe in the entire world is on record to be as hateful, pompous, intolerant, boastful, vindictive, expantionistic, morbidly acquisitive, conceited, unenlightened and primitive regardless of western education and confused as the Ibo.

They make a classic case study for mental diagnosis considering the preponderance of these attitudes among them.

Just a few minutes ago I stumbled on another one created purposely against the Ibo, now another one by an Ibo.

Friends, let deal with issues. All tribes, race and people are great.

OP why are people from all over the world rushing to Yorubaland? Why are the Igbos running away from home at least Yorubas don't. You cannot find a single Yoruba living in the East.
