President of the Arewa Youths Consultative Forum, Yerima Shettima has expressed his reservations over the recent appointments made by President Buhari. According to him, it appears the appointments are lopsided and that government should be seen as nationalistic not sectionalized
“It is unfortunate the way the situation is, because one becomes worried. We must be seen to be nationalistic than being sectionalised. I am beginning to feel uncomfortable because the complaint is that the appointments are seen to be lopsided. I also do not think that is the intention of the government.
However, no matter how we pretend, the reality is that things are not done in the right way. The government should be seen to be more nationalistic than sectionalised. If we truly believe in true federalism and federal character, it should go round. We cannot say that a particular area has the best brains in the country. I think the government should look into that area thoroughly in as much as the President has good intentions.”he told Vanguard

People over reacting abeg.
There are still more appointments to be made.
Yeah its the truth the appointment so far ain't good at all, buhari shud have a rethink b4 his regime hit the rock, out of 25 positions only 1 igbo man smh it is not Good
You got the point, dictator playing democrats.
Well said. Coming from arewa.
Jonathan's chief of Staff was from the south, his secretary to the federal government from the southeast.
these positions are key positions needing his close allies.
We should allow him select the people he feels can deliver.

Hmmmmm.
PMB wil say his appointment r base on merit. So they r no Eastern or those frm West or South dat worth his merit.
We r watching!

I saw this coming a long time ago. It's clear Nigerians will never learn from history, and we seem to have short memories of What people we appoint as leaders have done and said in the past
Your comment will be visible after approval.
E never
Oga shut up. ... Wetin you know..? Tell me how many northaners gej appointted & how many southaners has baba go slow appointted so far. .?
You're an imbecile
Truth be said, the northerners have more appointments.
Right now, of the 42 appointments made by President Buhari, 35 are from the north and 7 from others parts. This is not fair. No one should tell me there are more appointments coming becoause the body language of the president suggests he's not done with his impunity.
That's the change they wanted.....
Jonathan's immigration boss was from south, his custom boss was from south, his NSA was from south... guy rest. in as much as we want the best the president must be wise so as not to be his own undoing
I supported buhari during the elections but i don't let that deride my sense of judgement. How can you explain that for the 1st time in the history of Nigeria. All arms of government ; executive legislative and judiciary are headed by Northerners. Coupled with his appointments. It's fair to say Buhari's government and appointments is loopsided!
Well said,,appointment is based on merit.Let him appoint whoever he feels comfortable to work with..What has quota system in the past done to us..Abegi lv him alone joh
This was a man who claimed he was detribalised Nigerian. How come he doesn't have close allies from other tribes.

Yorubas bad lossers nd d most wailing wailers. It jst began though. They thought they re the only pple that knows how 2 betray right? They aitn't see nothing yet wailing wailers
Bonario u r d biggest fool to have walked d earth. Idiot u r very stupid for dis statement. Jonathan gave every region a sense of belonging. Thunder fire u a billion times
Nice one Bonario
The idiot that called you an imbecile is also an "amoeba"
Naijas ave no chill @ all.
Let's watch and see happens next
Even GEJ appointed northerner in a sensitive position-INEC which later removed him. Dat is Naija Spirit
U forget dat his NSA was from the north, so was d minister of defence,Cg of customs north.so Mr man get ur facts complete b4 talking
Short sighted morons talking trash...jonathan appointed people from the south?is there anything as south?south what? Truth be told buhari has so far made d wrong calls and he doesnt care what Nigerians think.how can a right thinking human being do what he did yesterday...they shld call dat man to order
You guys are talking about tribe?? What about women???? Not one single woman in his cabinet!!!!!! This does not project him in a very good light. I was a major proponent of Buhari during d elections but I must say I don't like what I'm seeing
Linda pls I want to know is it only the northerners are buhari's ally? U see dia is God ooo
WHY COMPLAIN? YOU VOTED FOR CHANGE....................... ENJOY MAN........
Bonario may Amadioha destroy your brain because it is as useless as a chaff. So snail buhari feels it's only Hausa people that can deliver yet you being an Igbo man supports and voted for him? Are you not a daft? It's only a bastard that points his father's compound with his left finger. So in the entire South East no one can deliver? You needs a brain surgery.
*Linda's best friend*
I don't know why these appointments have become a cause for wa haha. During Jonathan the SGF was from East,CBN from South,Immigration from South, Finance from East,Petroleum from South, inland revenue from south and so on. Leave this man alone joor,let him pick who he wants. In the last administration how many northerners did we have in strategic positions and yet we lived
@Bonario GOD BLESS U MY DEAR. lets leave him to appoint whoever he deems it fit to. we have achieved nothing from the useless federal character principle. even if he appoints his whole family i dont care. as long as the person can deliver. f..k federal principle.#proudlyNigerian
Bonario.....your comments really shows that you exchanged your brain for cow dung, when you voted Buhari. Cnt you be objective for once? the fact that you support him doesnt mean you cant call him to order when he goes wrong. Maybe when he sells your father house to a mallam, your sense wud then come back to u. IDIOT!!!
Igboooo you people Na only Yoruba vote GMB or because some Yoruba did not vote GEJ that have no capacity to rule d nation.
What Buhari is doing is ungodly, unconstitutional, illegal and condemnable especially considering the fact that these appointments are from areas that contribute nothing to the National Economy. So the owners of the National Wealth are left out while strangers enjoy their God-given resources. Almighty God will never allow His children to be deprived. "For the rod of the wicked shall not rest upon the lot of the righteous; lest the righteous put their hands unto iniquity" (Psalms 125:3)
Alh. Yerima is the president if the largest northern group.he was a presidential Aspirant.He is not a hungry man. It is important we say tell PMB the truth. Given the situation presently. If an election is conducted PMB will loose woefully. This is a fact. You can be this sectional and think Nigeria will vote you. PDP level of looting with no direct impact on the people provoke Nigerians, so the protest vote. Nigerians will shock PMB or whoever bears the APC ticket come 2019. If he likes let Ban Ki moon conduct the election. PMB is just unrepentant.
Ok
Buhari the tribalistic Hausa Goat!
Oga make we dey apply sense with this tribalism of a thing. Wet in concern Arewa and yoruba for this mater?
Just stop it already!
This Bonario Nnags of a guy won't stop with this stupidity of his. The way he worships this Buhari of a man is becoming annoying. It seems he would support this fulani lunatic even if he abuses God. He would never fault him for any reason. As far as FoolBonario is concern, Buhari is superhuman,infallible and can do no wrong
Hmmmm this man is still living in the military life of self dictatorship.he is a fulani man and those people have unforgiven spirit.he also said in his recent interview that he won't treat the people that voted for him same has people that din't.let continue to watch this is just the beginning
I know Arewa youth leader, whatever Your name is. It Is in the interest of the nation that the best and finest are appointed. There is no such person in the South. South westerners, Una no cry. You have Osi b. At least you can be sure of invites to big Owambe. You can wear the finest laces and take pictures for us to devour on Linda. Hajia Linda, please we need a translated Site in Hausa.
I have been a reader of this Blog since late 2011..I'm very sorry to say this but i think the only Reader on this Blog who has something Upstairs is just only Bonario Nnags....See let me tell you all something today...If PMB can Appoints anyone he feels like that can deliver the work maybe all from the North or from his Hometown then so be it...This Country is messed up and the man need people he can trust and believe in them !!!
At least we speak different languages. Which shws we have diffrernt ideas n tinz to contribute to d national quota. I dnt believe d best brainz are from d north sofar. There is need for fairness amongst regions. Apc take note: notin lastz forever
I hv followed this guys sense of judgement so far and all I see is defense for anything APC and attack on anything PDP. Ppl who based their judgement on emotion always wake up late. Let's wait and see how it goes.
Just taking my bottle of coke and Lol
This is unfair
See I hope you all supporting Buhari open your eyes before it's too late, 42 appointments and none from the south east and you are still supporting that? 35 northerners and you're still supporting that? Be wise please. Is he trying to tell us no other region has up to 15 people with integrity and selflessness to serve? Be wise.
Appointment should be based on merits and not on Tribe and Buhari just did the right thing. So this lazy man shd zip up his tongue
Dis bonario of a guy is an idiot..u don't support buhari more than I do but this time he's wrong
I only blame GEJ for not knowing the type of country naija is
U be ewu gambia,so na only hausa's get d merit to rule naija right?
When it comes to admission into our unitary schools then federal character will be applied. How come northerners who gain admission with the lowest scores are now more merit able to score 27:7 against the entire south. Wonders they say shall never end!!!!

Apparently you yourself have nothing upstairs, you obviously haven't heard of federal character and how you can open your mouth to support this shows the kind of person you are
Buhari will never change, he is a bigot. This is Nigeria not Northgeria.
Lol. Make una free Bona he is trying to get noticed maybe he'll accidentally get an appointment lmao
GEJ military heads wr from the North , yoruba then one igbo that time, INEC Jega from the North too, his ministers many from north too. But buhari never see other tribes other than his. No wahala sha
The idea these appointments are made on merit is a stupid one for many reasons.
1. If Northern Nigeria has monopoly of meritorious individuals why do they lag behind in every facet of measurable human development Index?
2. If Buhari truly believes in merit, is he going to abolish quota system and allow admissions to Federal Schools, universities and colleges to be based on measurable performance criteria?
There are some blog addicts making patronising and ill informed remarks about Buhari's integrity without asking themselves why he hasn't used these attributes to the advantage of his own people through selfless leadership without resorting to petroleum fuelled nepotism.
U are a fool ... Hw can a normal woman support a man that said he would scrape the position of d 1st lady
Merit and Federal character can be mixed together, there are technocrats and experienced people in every state of this country, a good president should have friends he can trust from every region of the country, if he doesn't then he's showing nepotism.
Very naive opinion ... Let him also appoint his daughters
Abi Na we dey feed them. U guys are just worring ur self's . Just dey watch the movie . Relax
Eva said already. War is coming
this guy nd the pple wey dey support am no crious
The only reasonable northerner so far
Buhari is just showing Nigerians who he is. He doesn't care about anything anyone has to say. He will appoint his Hausa brothers and who is aggrieved should cry. There is nothing you can do. This is CHANGE!
Bonario pls shut that latrine you call a mouth.
Choi!!! Baba don dey fall ma hand seriously I just dey dey watch am!!
God bless you. Why are the igbo's always feeling intimated. Edo people never complain, atleast bayelsa has gotten a position. Igbo's please be patient. Don't let people see you differently as joy killer. Be patient IGBO
May God bless you Jackson
To the contrary ma dear yorubas re d. ones 2 get worrid nd not d igbos
