[color=#006600][/color]I believe we should all stop this uproar about the Kitchen cabinet of out president,there is nothing like sectionalism here.Kitchen cabinet is not a Federal character.it is about you bringing in the people that are competent and technocrat around you,time of Mediocre padi padi government is gone so all what we should do is to think out of the box and support the government that is getting things right...[/b]

Since it's in vogue to check demographics of appointees rather than their track records, very well then we shall do so. While most of us are shouting "Northern Agenda" Let's take a closer look at this expression called "North". Let's be sincere, when we hear North, the first thing that comes to mind is Hausa/Fulani/Muslim. But we have all forgotten or simply refused to learn that North is divided into
Geographically:
1. North East
2. North West
3. North Central

Demographically:
1. Core Muslim
2. Almost 200 Minority tribes
3. A fair chunk of Christian population
4. Hausa/Fulani plus Kanuri Majority Tribes

Simply put, the North is 5 times more complex than the South.
Now let's examine possible reasons why we just assume North to be Hausa/Fulani/Muslim. The answer is not rocket science. It's simply because Hausas and Fulanis have been dominating the Northern scene since forever. Now let's take a closer look at Buhari's Northern appointments so far;
Did we miss the fact that a fair number of the ones in sensitive posts are from minority tribes and in fact Christians??
Now help me ask yourselves, when last did Northern Christians get recognition? When last did we hear of tribes like Kilba, Angas, Tula, Waja? Is it not indeed some sort of change from the usual Hausa/Fulani/SS/Yoruba/Igbo/Muslim we keep hearing all over the place? Ok nau. Are we aware of the SGF is a Pastor of proven integrity? Don't you think that empowering and recognizing the Christians and minority tribes will go a long way in checking insurgencies and attacks on these vulnerable people by Fulani herdsmen, etc? Are you now trying to say that these minorities in the North who have never been given recognition but have been patiently waiting are lower and inferior Nigerians? Don't they deserve spots just like the conventional Yorubas which make up SW, Igbos which make up SE and then the different SS tribes?

I'm not done yet. Have we noticed that these appointees are not your usual politicians? Does that not mean that it won't be the "awon goons mi" business as usual? They were almost regular people until Buhari made them popular, meaning they don't have a never-ending list of goons they need to reward. I know most disappointed APC fans had placed their bets on Onu, Fashola, and Ameachi. They have erroneously seen Nigeria politics as a sport betting game or a fantasy football league where you conjure up your own "dream team". Smh.

If we still insist on this marginalization talk can we ask ourselves these questions?;

1. Is there more stable electricity in North than in the south?
2. The clean up in sectors so far, does it in the long run affect only Northerners? If the EFCC, Customs, pensions, NNPC etc are functioning properly does it not mean better for us as a whole? When last did you queue for fuel?
3. Buhari just ordered clean up of ogoni areas, (let's not forget we just had an ND son there for the past five years!) Are Northerners the ones to benefit from this exercise?

Can we please just relax our muscles a bit while we watch how things eventually play out?
I don't know why the average Nigerian does not think outside the box. These points here are things I pray each and every person reading this will ponder on with at least half an open mind. This is the first time I will be begging the mods to move my thread to FP. My message must touch as many hearts as possible.
Call me a hopeless Nigeria-lover. Yeah I know I am because I'm the type that loves with all my heart, I may get angry but I still love.

Good bless The Federal Rebublic of Nigeria!
Sai Buhari!

You are another + 1 reasonable person on nairaland...nice write up , well said . Wish I no you in person I suppose flex you dis nite ,tGif

hinwazaka:

A straightforward answer, is all that I require. Do the appointees possess better qualifications and expertise than their peers and colleagues in the other regions.
Also, if a clean past is all that is required for nomination and selection, then why not make the leader of Ansar Udeen society, the Govenor of CBN.

he only trust few

Some useless people will always come with useless thread to defend failure, go back to the past administration appointment. In Nigeria the winner takes it all has being our send back that is why Kano has 44 local govt (biggest in Nigeria) and still turn around beg for money generated from oil. We need a genuine change of sysetm restructuring, defining Nigeria nationally.

Lalasticlala, Ishilove, Obinoscopy.

What the clowns are also forgetting is that Buhari will make atleast 1,000 appointments. So far he has only made 43 meaning he has made less than 5% of the total appointments.

Once the ministerial appointments are made, watch people lose interest in his other appointments.

sunnyb0b0:


If only you know how many tribes are in Cross River State alone.

And she say she is from Oron... Ode-oshi Yoruba girl, sweetlemon you ve finally expose yourself today. The north have more tribe than the south but nobody care to know why all of them will love to be called only Hausas... Under AREWA umbrella but the useless SW have been dividing Igbos and their brothers, Yoruba's have not told gwari man or kanuri man that he is not hausa

if Nigerians had to chose between
a. having majority of appointees from one section of the country and in return there will be constant electricity supply, more jobs and less unemployment, better infrastructure,an almost non-existent corrupt political class and a Nigeria that works and
b. observing an archaic federal character and we continue as we are. I wonder which one Nigerians will chose.
My point is this: Buhari is appointing those he knows he can work with to deliver his campaign promises. fine with me and works for me. ours is to watch and observe, 4yrs will soon be up. we will examine his score card. if he has done Well we give him thumbs up, he failed woefully, it won't be because he had to follow some dumb federal character. we will tell him then that we gave a free hand and he didn't deliver. then there will be No excuse. like the OP said, chill and let's watch.

I can vividly remember the first 3 months of President Obama in White house,he appoint almost all is former staffs from Chicago as is kitchen cabinet and even making the present Chicago mayor Raheem Emmanuel is Chief of Staff.American as a democratic country that believe in there president never ridicule there president rather they support him.this is the time Nigeria should unite and lets support our president for job well done...

.

Quick advise for the OP...
Pull your head outta Buhari's arse before you start looking like his 93 year old shiiiit.

Very senseless thread trying to justify Buhari's gaffe. How much were you paid??
So there are no technocrats from other regions in Nigeria...how Qualified are those mallams that are not "Awon goons mi"?
Have you really checked Buhari's relationship with the people he's appointed so far or your itchy fingers just feel like typing rubbish?

CHESSBOARD:


Of course, is your name not Adamu Shuaibu

Lol, But seriously she knows what she is saying

Pierocash:
Abacha, IBB, Atiku altogether didn't loot half what only Jonathan looted.

You well so?

@OP
Thinking outside the box doesn't necessary mean you will get it right.
A Nigerian president must appoint his key cabinet based on all u have highlighted but also include a valid constitutional rule which is federal character. He has really missed on that. Executive, legislative, armed forces, paramilitary, etc and very soon the Judiciary.
Muslims or christians isn't the point here but the proper distribution based on zones. You say we should wait and see what magic he will come up with, remember all decisions have both the positive and negative ends. He is more on the negative. What other key appointment remains? Ministers of finance and defence?
The financial aspects of Nigeria now is fully being run by the CBN and forget the puppet that will be made defence minister. There are credible non northerners in Nigeria....
I may be wrong with my analysis but I'm thinking outside the box here.

One Nigeria I stand!

See country abeg. Abi they no get wailers? But dem dey complain able reasonable tinz

kestolove95:
Buhari said earlier on that his
appointments would be MAJORLY based on
technocrats and very few everyday politician and
that's commendable....Apart from Ita Enang who is a
'politician' and the house of rep dude...do you hear
much abt the rest appointees ??
Obiagelli was damn right!!! We tend to see politics/
leadership as a avenue to make money(business)
and not as a way of servant-leadership thats why
some persons worry about the state of origin of
appointees...
In governance, a leader is FREE to choose anybody
he feels he can work with, trust and can still hold
accountable...
The problem with the last admin despite how
balance the appointment were was that GEJ 'was made'
to choose lot of persons he barely knew and can
vouch for, that was why things went awry and his
govt was hijacked from him...
Persons he couldnt call to order cos he was scared
of the unknown!! That was the main reason why you
hear him claim unaware of some major decisions
taken towards the end of his tenure..eg the
postponement of election and the moroccan envoy

Ref. louisvangaal

Men! Double, triple twale for you. One of the most sensible comments I have read on Nairaland in a while.

Pierocash:
I don't care wether all appointment is from nt, what we need is credibility.afterall, southerners are most corrupt.

Thank you jare. All the balanced appointments we have had in the past, what good has it brought us? Abeg, whatever move Buhari makes, I am behind him, as long as it brings the desired change. By the way, I am from the south west.

odinese:
.don't giv 3fvcks ....



Buhari for life..


Haters go hug transformer!!


Since when pdp has been ruling with random pple, what have they achieved?

God bless

My man I hail you but are you sure you read history of these men you said they did not loot half of what Jonathan looted, They country is this bad, it was all of IBB and OBJ , Jonathan is a saint where these men are, answer this question, Who devalue our Naira, whose president wife was caught smuggling Cocaine outside the country and that led to Dele giwas death, Am waiting for your answers please.

Gbam

Being apolitical myself, am all for competence and getting the job done, however OP I've got just one question for you, when it gets to the benefits, say FG scholarship or recruitment, are we still going to strongly advocate for and maintain that individual ability be the criteria or shall we fall back to the federal character quagmire??

geopolitical zones, though unconstitutional, was created to take care of minorities. SW for yorubas, SE for Igbos, NW for hausa. NE and NC for northern minorities and SS for southern minorities, any appointment that is equitably distributed within the geopolitical zones automatically takes kia of the minorities. hausas hav been dominating the north who have more minorities that are more culturally distinct but collaborate with yorubas to divide east even those with same culture and language

adamshuaib:
Seriously, She make sense with the analysis. U need to read with an open mind. But if u r here to wail, Tohhh. Kontinue

Even you did not read it with open mind.

I tell you no logic can justify / successfully defend this misstep of the president. Anyone who supports the insensitive appointments is a blind and naive supporter of Buhari.


Do you know there is a part of Nigerian constitution that talks about "federal character"?

Rubbish northern propaganda post.

God bless you for this thought provoking piece. I hope those ignorant souls will read and understand.
God bless GMB.......God bless Nigeria!!

My humble submission
ABSOLUTE THRASH Excuse from Sweetlemon .....
President Buhari Balance the appointments SIMPLE!! FEDERAL CHARACTER. QED!! No only North...South is part of Nigeria....
