ReplyDeleteBuhari always appointing northerner to key positions. Why not chane the name of Nigeria. Clueless president
ReplyDeleteI see that trend too and Nigeria is watching.
DeleteBuhari is trablistic, we are watching if he fails to balance the situation. Note that
DeleteIt is very wrong for all the appointments to go to the northerners only. I hope Buhari know what he is doing. Former President Jonathan avoided war I hope Buhari will do so too.

Matosky and the rest theres something i don't really understand here... sentiment apart when GEJ was there he put people that he trusted from the south *note that* and who complained? Nobody now GMB has put someone he could trust too hows that a problem? Besides didn't you hear of the alleged bugging of the aso villa by the former leadership of the agency? #NoInsultsJustPassingBy

Don't use the appointment of DR director in isolation.Nigerians are complaining of the appointments so far done be your President Buhari. Abbas Esah come up with your defence
DeleteWho are the Nigerians complaining. U call jst u few short vision and sentimental ppl, Nigerians? So funny. When GEJ fill his cabinet and most ministry with south-south and igbos, u guys was silent cos it benefits u. Bt now u suddenly remember the unity of nigeria cos this are not going ur way.
DeleteWhen the former president was appointing those who succeeded in looting our treasury no body dares to say anything. Now the country is in mess and everybody is talking. In fact, it is a free world, say whatever you want to say it doesn't change anything.
ReplyDeleteBuhari has not done anything. The north is half Nigeria. Always look at it zonally. The north has three zones called north altogether. JEG and OBJ in their appointments neglected this core north concentrating on the christain northerners. Look at the formation of the present army chiefs you will get clue. GEJ replaced Sanusi with the present Ibo man as CBN governor nobody shouted. During OBJ regime all his ministers across North central are all christain except El-rufai and nobody shouted. I therefore advised we look at credibility to bail our beloved country first of all form the menace of PDP before individualism or zonalism and tribalism.
ReplyDeleteNortherners and their borne to rule syndrome. Buhari is at it again.
ReplyDeleteIt is a shame that many of you that are talking trash don't know what security means.
ReplyDeleteDo you want PMB to put you there knowing fully that you hate him and that you plan to kill him.
Look at your sentiment alone talk less of employing you in that sensitive post.
PMB is a retired general, he knows what it takes at least to protect himself.
Please, you can go to blazes if PMB refuse to employ your family. You have been campaigning wishing him many negative things thing to befall him, we have been wishing him well including long life.
Please leave our president alone for God/Allah sake.
Long live President Mohamadu Buhari, Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria
Marylyn Ogar should resign too, Afterall she was the spokesperson for PDPigs. Kudos to Buhari.
ReplyDeleteI sidon de look shee na change we want change we are seeing shikena
ReplyDeleteStupid ram called Buhari! What does he know except to rear cows! Aboki na aboki! Any day! Any time!
ReplyDeleteShut up!! Na Change You Vote for Na the Change you Dey See.. So why Complaining. When U people turn deaf ears at the beginning
