Yeye dey smell... until we have a sound mind for performance than religious or ethnicity then we would have a better Nigeria. Politicians make these noises to deceive Nigerians but it is clearly about their pocket. Sai Baba please kontinue (in Patience voice)

Most governments are a coalition of various interests. Most governments attempt to represent their country otherwise it's an occupying power if it does not represent the country it seeks to govern. Mr Buhari did not win any election on the platform of CPC. He realised that on his own he will be a perianal failure in his civilian presidential dream. So formed an alliance with the ACN to form the APC. Since winning the election he has behaved as if the CPC alone won the election. I have not seen any evidence of the ACN wing of the APC show its footprint in this government. Since CPC was Kaduna based and its members primarily from the North, it appears to others that we now have an occupying power not representative of the people it seeks to govern.

The fight against corruption can not be used as a smokescreen to disenfranchise other Nigerians. The saints do not only reside in the North. Mr Buhari is just by his previous outing a parochial person. He is blind to his obligation to others.

In his recent outing to the States he misunderstood the question being asked but gave an insight into his train of thought. He will pay attention to only the people who voted for him. He is just being bad as a Nigerian president, he better suited to being the prime minister of Northern Nigeria.

He is blind and deaf to the thoughts of others he only hears his own voice. That was evident when he murdered the drug kids. He was oblivious to reason. That trait which generously has been seen as being disciplined mask a more sinister character, an Usman Dan Fodio complex. His entry into the 1966 coup was motived by his desire to avenge the death of Northern political leaders and his prosecution of the civil war was in the same vain. While as a junta leader he jettison the convention that both leader and his deputy not be from the same political zone.

Mr Buhari must know that Nigeria is not only those who voted for him or from his stock. He closes Nigeria to all of its resources if by political blindness, he seeks to impose his brand of narrow righteous gang on the generality of Nigerians. Aso Rock must be like Nigeria and not just part of Nigeria.

All of his major appointments so far have predominately been from his locale, in a constitutional democracy is unconstitutional and picking at the fragile construct that is Nigeria.

I hope Mr Buhari like his last outing understands that no condition is permanent.

That's the price you pay for being a traitor. The south-west who thought they can join hands with the northerns yo betray Jonathan will see pepper in this govt. Tinubu who tot he can stay in bourdillon rule Nigeria would be worst hit. The north speak one voice, the south speak betray.

I like the lady who said and I quote "Buhari should surround himself with the best but it will be an insult on our collective intelligence to say that the best can only be found in the North"

That is the simple truth.
What Buhari is doing is a kind of impunity . Like no one can question him.

Yes, we want PMB to appoint the best. We need a change fast in this country. But then again, does it mean that the best are only from the North? Mr President, this is highly nepotic. God bless the few Northerners whose comments and observations were sincere and honest...

westerners would be like, Buhari must be kidding lol... I didn't vote him and I don't care.. if he likes let him clone himself and appoint as ministers.. idiots

Anonymous said...

Linda, it's a shame that the young people of this country are so blind that they can't read between the lines. Some see nothing bad in what PMB is doing because they hate GEJ,so PMB for them is always right. Does it mean the north is more intelligent than the south? This is a region (north) where if you score 150 in Jamb, you are given university admission while a southern will have to score 250 and above to get same admission. The same thing applies in Unity schools, infact the reason for their low cut off mark is because they are termed Low education development areas (LEDA ) Now tell me how can a person from this zone is now more competent than someone from the south? For those supporting PMB try and be objective as you do so. Do not forget the pact that Nigeria is a plural state, a heterogeneous society and a secular community. Tomorrow PMB might tell us to all convert to Islam and his Myopic supporters from the south will say if it will make Nigeria better no problem. Even some national leaders of APC are not happy with these lopsided appointments. We cannot cry more than the bereaved. A word they say is enough for the wise

If the appointees are competent and can deliver, then we should give it a rest. Appointments never finish and besides, government is a continuous process...

I am Ibo and i don't care. So long as he delivers Nigeria from its present state to a better country. The former southerner embarrassed us so y complain.

Akin' Odunsi @gr8akin said...

I don't know why some people are so daft and tribalistic! The Media Man to the President, is he not a yoruba man? If the President chose to appoint mainly all-northern cabinets, as far as they are doing their job, it's good for me! Ain't nothing wrong in that! This is one of the reasons Nigeria is shaky, we are too tribalistic, let's face it, he's the President and has the right to appoint whoever he wants to work with him! Shikena!

You are correct my able Fani, i read it when you warned the gullible that a leopard does not change it's spot. Buhari is a known tribalist he does not trust any tribe except his own fulani kins men. Those who does not see anything wrong with his wicked action will always praise him at the front while they cover their shame and disappointment at the hidden back. I don, t care if Buhafi appoints all northaers is a comment of a defeated and a subdued man. A soul that has accepted to be a slave. A soul that accept his generation will never grow. God forbid for me. This president is telling all nigerians that the only tribe that has perfect honesty is from the north ànd people are dancing to it. Thoae who see nothinğ wrong had automatically said that themselves, their father, .Mother, family memebers and generations are dishonest people that are not fit to hold any post in nigeria and so it shall be unto them Amen.. I and my generations even those unborn have said this is wrong and we condem it.

I can see one chicken-brained hawusa slave in this blog trying to show off! He must have sent or drawn the attention of Linda to these tweets!

It is only a fool that will compare the national football team to political appointments in a multi-ethnic country like Nigeria! Tell me how many northerners are playing football abroad! Even within the local league, the players are made up of southerners! Go check out the names of players in El Kanemi club, Kano Pillars clubs, etc. They are southern players! So where are they going to draw the northern players from? From the market?

Among all the tweets above, the only person that stated something reasonable is Oke Umurhohwo. He tweeted that Bhuhari is setting a bad precedent in a multi ethnic country! He is quite correct because not only will subsequent Presidents from other tribes/ regions appoint only their kinsmen; Bhuhari has dug a big hole in the unity of this country! Tell me how Bhuhari can canvas or talk about UNITY in this country when all he does is to appoint only his kinsmen in all positions and marginalize other regions!!!

Obviously, Naijas are not good students of history bcos PMB's latest appts into the highest federal govt offices, is not a new lesson @ all. Matter of fact, it was the same dissatisfaction as now, that in part, fueled the Biafran war. So, what exactly is PMB telling the rest of Naijas by such lopsided appts? It can only be contemplated: the drama on stage continues until the drumbeats say otherwise...cry, my beloved country QED@atm

And is really abt 2 strt, Buhari shld have knwn better 2 think that there are no good person or persons frm d south and east. He's so behaving like we are in d military realm he can do any thing nd no one can question him.

Anonymous said...

The main issue here is this if buhari insists this is a fair appointment then why do we do federal character. Why would I from the south have lower chance of getting a job or admission than someone from the north. I can get admission with 150 in jamb if I'm a northerner but I need 250 or more if I'm from the south. I can get a very low score N get into the unity school if I'm a northerners but can't if I'm from d south.
Let's stop deceiving ourselves. Even in the USA you have to include the blacks Hispanics Asians and such when making appointment. You can't only appoint a group of people N say it's fair.
Are the fulani's the most qualified? we know that not true.

The current purported fight against corruption is a mere deflection yet the gullible swallow it. The fact is, over 85% of oil blocks in Naija are owned by northerners; the same northern oligarchy has ruled the state for at least 38 years since independence. Does anyone else see the connection or what? Now, fast forward to PMB's govt: military command center moved to Borno from a centralized location formerly in Abuja; BH militants relocated by fiat in the middle of the night to Anambra State except for the peoples outcry; talk about poking the finger in a person's eye. Shortly thereafter, Junaid Muhammad spews a hate-filled speech against the Igbos for which his sponsors have kept silent and not rebuked; b/4 our eyes, almost every sensitive federal appt is headed by a northerner despite a huge human capacity from other regions. Even more sad, is the propaganda that many southerners now belief about themselves as being dishonest and unfit to lead or take part in meaningful roles in their own country. Una see una selves? This one na one chance una enter so abi na wetin person go call am nee ? #goodcausetospeakup
