Well to be honest Daura is really old to be chief of staff to president he should have reject the appointment and give it to one of his son.
This man can't have a functional brain that could move this country forward .i consider his age with that of my grandfather and am sure they will no be different btw his behavior and that of my grandfather. This mens can't think straight anymore age is against him .

Was Aba Kyari governor in 1968/69?

it's another one.. that name is quite popular ehn in that North

Some Nigerians, me inclusively before seeing this used to portray this guys as some kolanut selling northerners

They all have one thing in common.they all work for northern interest from the inception, so we are not surprise on the happening in this government.

Mamman Daura must be a Confucius scholar with his dressing and look... who knows?

How can Nigerians have faith in these old men? Will there brains be functional enough to move this country to the next level?

A person without certificate such as buhari, it's just natural for him to hero worship this cabals.


They are his god

Na so

Every President or governor has circle of inner friends he relaxes with, banters with and rubs minds with. Call it inner caucus or cabal, they are essential part of the presidents' or governors' support structure. Members of this group may be childhood friends, old school friends or trusted professional colleagues.

President Buhari is no exception and should not be, for his emotional balance. He is human after all.

However, it doesn't matter the advice these friends give, the credits for any positives and blame for negatives in governance go to the president being the person recognized by constitution to lead the country.

In all honesty, these men are well educated more than their principal. They are really using the education to deal with Buhari

Northocracy ..

Government of the north by the north and supported by mumuish south west
