Looking at the names of the appointees right now: Dangote is truly a detribalized Nigerian If our leaders were as detribalized as Dangote, many Asia countries wouldn't be able to compete with us If we are not careful, tribalism, nepotism and religion will finish Nigeria Buhari has already set the precedence Congratulations to the new appointees They should manage the conglomerates well because Dangote as a brand feeds thousand of people around the world...including Mrs Blair ![]() 4 Likes |

Congratulations to them! Reading their profiles is excellent, they deserve it. But, it seems Dangote is more interested in Yorubas that Awolowo gave the opportunity through Azikwe to study & gain "Quality Education" Abroad. I would have given him my ideas but let me withhold it till then. 1 Like 1 Share |

Dangote needs competition, not the so called best line up #Rubbish! With all their supposed greatness not one could challenge the might of Dangote, just shows how truly un-great they are. Dangote proudly does not possess half the qualifications of the least schooled graduate in the list yet he dominates them and is free to dispossess them of their relevance to society. Who are these morons fooling, theyre zero without a job and dont have the knowhow to be their own boss. 3 Likes |

Nigerians are among the best educated people around the world. We boast of skilled professional in business management discipline, banking, insurance, political science, public admin, engineering, medicine, pharmaceutical, nursing, theatre art, etc Inspite of this human resources, Nigerians have not been able to utilized this expertise gathered from all this diverse field to better the lot of the country. Nigerians remain one of the most corrupt group of people second to Bangladesh. So people will ask what is the relevance of education to a nation if we can not use it to effect a change on society? 1 Like |

Mostly Yorubas and one Edo. The guy is hausa and knows very well that business and sentiment do not gel. That's the difference between him and Buhari. Igbos are good in business, turning two to four and even to 10, but many of them have no formal education, if not, they'll be at the top of multinationals. The hausa who're very Lazy and good at nothing, gets to top positions due to politics 5 Likes 2 Shares |
