43 years as friends, yet you guys could not advise each other to build and equip hospitals. You guys must have been lying to each other all those years; not see where this has landed your friend.

Mr Goeffrey all these you said about him being detribalized and a Nigerian global citizen would have been true if he had persuaded his master not to treat the SE/SS votes to him as medium of devpment to those regions.

He was nice to you because your parents were rich, you both have opportunity to study in far away country and so you became friends.

The late chief of staff together with his boss practically marginalized SS/SE both in appointments and infrastructure.

If not for oil in SS there own would be worse.

So Mr Onyema, he is detribalized to rich Nigerians hence you have retained your position for 5 years now.

I see sense in what you've written.

Abba was nice to him on personal grounds. I can never be persuaded to change my mind about who others and I saw him to be.

Whatever or whomever he was, he now has the opportunity to defend before his Maker.

I still don’t get why they are all writing good stuff about him now. When he was alive and being maligned/misrepresented, none of them spoke up in his defense.

I’m not a political appointee of the current government but I have taken it upon myself in my own little way to counter the fake narrative and propaganda of those who see nothing good in the president and his government. I’m not doing this because I believe the president is perfect - far from it. I’m doing this because I’m convinced it’s better to dwell on the positives and criticize the negatives constructively and not destructively.

So, I find it very untenable when I see direct appointees not speaking out early enough when issues are been misrepresented. What Onyeama wrote about Abba Kyari, particularly the clarification of the MTN money would have made lots of sense some 3 or 4 years ago instead of after his death. Sadly, they all allowed the social media mob to silence them.

I agree to a large extent, but Onyeama would have needed Kyari's permission to disclose certain details; and his style, just like Buhari's, is to ignore and not feed the trolls.

He will be judged by his deeds and not the social media mob thankfully, may he rest in peace.

See connect.... Chai!!!... Everything in Nigeria is who you know, not what you can offer.... To be in an influential position you have to join a circle.... It is well!!

There's a lot of very good talent for a limited number of positions.

What makes the difference is Grace (divine connection) and "Padi-Padi" (human connection).

You can't say Onyeama is not competent enough for his office can you?

I do not Believe in all these ! It's After someone dies that we begin to hear this or that!

Abba Kayari was Extremely Powerful in this dispensation! Infact He was the De-Facto President

The Unnecessary Killings All around the Country went on Abated because people like him refused to take the Neccessary actions..

The disgrace of Justice Onnegen and the subsequent appointment of the Present Chief Justice was a well coordinated stuff with Abba kyari as the head.

The Fulani Herdsmen killings and free way was a highly coordinated asssignnent! Abba Kyari cannot be said to not know!

Even when it was clear that the service chiefs have been Overwhelmed! The Service Chiefs were kept there..

Abba kyari cannot be said to be innocent of the Supreme Court Magic that brought about the Onnegen saga... 2 of them involved in that have gone .( Aliyu Umar SAN and Abba kyari). April 17th and April 18th


The One sided Security Appointments in the Country is a well planned idea..

Let's stop all these talk of The late CSO being for the Nigerian project! I cannot take that!

Abba kyari was loyal to his boss - Yes

Abba kyari was given to the Fulani Course- Yes

Abba Kyari has Gone to Answer to GOD .








rubbish, but pls explain d one sided security appointment, of the 4 service chief, two from d south, two from the north. keep talking rubbish

He still never helped/advised Buhari(his friend/boss) set a proper landmark and strengthen the Nigeria instructions. So also you.

You are all failures. I'm never sorry to say it.

I am not mocking his demise but they are failures all together!

We would prefer a corrupt leader that will give us the Nigeria we envisage

Really sad how the man was vilified all these years, without anyone coming out in his defence, and now in death, glowing tributes of honesty and integrity flowing from everywhere. I was almost totally convinced that he had his palm greased by mtn , due to the sudden soft stance the government took ,and even suggested that on this forum. I do regret that stance now ,and take back that statement .

This is a big lesson. Don't believe everything you read in various media without substantive evidence.

Wow...

Abba Kyari's loyalty to his boss was top-notch though. Very very commendable and enviable.

I pray God to bless me with just one friend like him.

Na demons and backstabbers yakpa pass for life.

It's rare to find a friend as loyal, committed, ready to stick out his neck for you, and exhibits that " je ne se qua" attitude with no regret.
