@OP.

I can relate with your thinking. Buhari was a President who shocked Nigerians because of his overt and condemnable favouritism towards Fulanis he never never hid.

Tinubu is very different. A Liberal man who wants the best for every Nigerian and understands, like Awolowo, that teaching a man to fish is the best approach to leadership rather than giving a man free fish alone he has no tools or capacity to catch himself.

I personally think Tinubu ,unlike Buhari, is not pursuing any ethnocentric agenda but merely going with the best Nigeria has to offer. If his appointees are from a particular ethnic group and some Nigerians want to argue with their deployment, then let them fault the record of those individuals.

For example, Buhari chose a charge and bail lawyer as AGF, in Malami. Tinubu, always aware of the need to use the best to get the best results, will not do such.

Even if he deploys a Yoruba then expect that Yoruba to be a qualified individual, above reproach as a distinguished and top level lawyer, fitting to be be AGF.

Not a dubious and undistinguished nobody like Malami whose appointment is an insult to the reality of how Nigeria parades the likes of Femi Falana, Fashola, Akeredolu, Agbakoba etal as very distinguished law practitioners.

I am not a fan of President Tinubu, and I am not sure I will ever be, but on the recent development especially his sacking of some persons and appointment of others especially people from his region I support him on this.

Buhari set a very dangerous path as president. He will go down in Nigeria presidential history as the man who introduced, enthroned and established political nepotism. Buhari disregarded federal character, he didn't give a damn about the outcry that followed his lopsided appointments. Everywhere was Fulani that most Nigerians thought he wanted to fulanize Nigeria.

From security agencies, to state house staff, custom and immigration, airports and seaports, anti graft agencies and NNPC. Even CBN leadership was not speared in his evil appointments. It was clear Buhari wanted to set Nigeria on fire if not for public restraints. A few reasonable Northerners called his attention to such injustice but the emperor Buhari never listened.

He forget that life is turn by turn. He forgot that what goes around they say, will come around. He succeed in enthroning nepotism and after eight years he bowed out, today he is in Daura and he feels no remorse about his actions. If wishes were horses, Buhari would have still held sway over his appointees from his Daura home. Unfortunately, wishes are not horses. A new sheriff is in town and interestingly, the new sheriff was properly taught by Buhari how to run a tribal presidency, he is now reciprocating the same footsteps and it appears some Northerners are already feeling uncomfortable. Infact, recently, someone said to me that the way Tinubu is removing Northerners, that he may have issue with Northern cabals and I said cabals my foot. Where were the cabals when their son intitiated this demonic pattern of governance?

No reasonable Northerners should even say a word in condemnation of Tinubu Yorubanization of power. Personally, I will not fault him. What was Buhari thinking when he did the same? Oh, that when a Southerner becomes president he should worship the North and dash them all the positions again like Buhari did? Hell No!

The evil of tribal appointment has come to stay and the last we had it fair enough would be under Jonathan. So bravo Tinubu, on this nepotistic tendency, I stand with you gidigba. Let every region forever fill their own people. Kudos to Buhari.

TokunboCarsOnly:




As much as I understand your position on this, I do not subscribe to the opinion that Tinubu is only after qualified people. That sounds like other regions don't have qualified people. Let's not bury the fact here, everyone is going tribal and I don't blame Tinubu for that. Like I said Buhari started it and Buhari learnt well.

Again, in leadership especially in very diverse country like Nigeria, it is important for every region to be represented. But let's not talk about that for now, Tinubu should just carry on with his appointments.

Grayoso:


The ends justifies the means so we will see if that saying will be true for Tinubu's modus operandi.

I do agree with you about Buhari setting divisive and very painful precedences that have changed Nigeria forever.

Buhari succeeded to show Nigerians 'one Nigeria' is a scam and curse those who are wise and.visionary will fry to escape asap .

Zonefree:
What does the common man benefits in all these appointments?

The painful part is South West were cheering and praising although the 8yrs beware bcause their son was the VP...

Now same people want us to chock on every single policy Tinubu throws at us because he is there son...

Sycophants

Grayoso:




Yorubas are normal and no worse than any other anywhere in the world and in fact better than most in several respect.

They play politics like it is done worldwide. I.e a game of permanent interests. Especially for stakeholders who understand that if you fail to plan then you plan to fail.

That then does not mean Yoruba are okay with Buhari's nepotistic misrule that led to even many preventable Yoruba fatalities because we supported him to be President hoping he would reciprocate the monumental effort from a political perspective.

What Yoruba leaders, who could not read Buhari's mind, expected was for him to lead well on behalf of all Nigerians to then equitably and honorably support a Yoruba in future in the spirit of. "one good turn deserves another".

You forget that Yorubas, when things started to go seriosuly wrong , fought Buhari, Malami etal exemplarily and unrelentingly to birth Amotekun, fight for VAT fairness for the south, insisted on State police and uncompromising demand for Regional governance etal that would prevent a Buhari happening again.

Move on and stop sounding like a broken record. Tbe problem.with you guys is that you are always bitter, hateful, vindictive and reactionary.

Men sometimes have to accept sh1t has happened and then move to fix wrongs rather than be lamenting about the past every damn day as if muscle still does not exist in the arms to improve the future.

You guys are always fixated with hatefully and unprogressively living in the past. That is your main problem.

Don't support Tinubu. That is your problem. If he succeeds it only damages the stock of Igbos further as a people who can never support what is best for Nigeria and never wishes the "Zoo" well.

DoTheNeedful:



Nepotistic tendency is subjective. It depends on who you ask. Just looking at the bolded, I could tell that you are either from SE or SS. The reason being that a lot of people believe that Jonathan's appointments favor the SE and SS very significantly.

The last time appointments were fair was under Obasanjo. Even the late Yar'adua that a lot of people almost canonize today because he died in power gave most of his appointments to the Northerners to the extent of giving CBN position to Sanusi, a fellow Fulani man. Southerners have mostly been the CBN governors since 1960.

Ttalk:


I disagree with you that Buhari set the precedence for nepotism, rather nepotism was enthroned into our body polity by Azikwe when was the president, and further stamped by Aguiyi Ironsi's military rule.

Check the records of appointments given to Igbo as against other Nigerians during those periods.

Fulaninigger:
Lol leave the fool! Nigeria is full of hypocrites. We don't hate corruption and nepotism as long as it benefit our religion and tribe

Almost all head of state/president practice nepotism as some point, but people cherry pick who to insult

SpatialKing:


Take it easy
You sound pained
I only stated the fact

Fulaninigger:
Lol so it's justifiable for Tinubu to appoint his kinsmen in all possible position because they are "competent". But it's wrong for Buhari to do it because you decide who is competent or not

Bro, let Tinubu appoint his kinsmen as he dims fit, after all Buhari did it too.. But don't insult our intelligence or justify it with this competent bullshit!

Grayoso:


Not pained bro. Just progressive. Try to become more philosophical, humane and a lover of what is good about life.

After that you will note you and others like you are aberrant.

You can have strong and even bigoted views but the minute that crosses over into malevolence that means you no longer care for your own progress, and only want to see everything ruined so those you hate suffer or are discredited, is the minute you become no better than a brainwashed suicide bomber happy to take the life of those they have never met yet have cultivated murderous hatred for.

That is what is overtaking your SE region today. Folks like you should focus more on deradicalising the hate that has been supplanted in the average Igbo for more than 6 decades now instead of coming online to show you are embodiments of that.

Based on indices and Statistics SE is doing well
The region might not have the population but the region has been able to sustain herself although the years will little federal government support..

You lack any iota of progressivism stop quoting what you don't have

I don't care what you think. Tinubu knows what he is doing. That will soon be obvious to most Nigerians who don't appreciate that not everything can be stated publicly.

Fulaninigger:
I voted for Tinubu and I'm glad I did!

But you can't insult our intelligence by trying to justify appointmenting his kinsmen, while admonishing Buhari for doing same. It's outright hypocrisy!
