s please don't delete my post. You don't have to like it but it's the truth.

Over hundred tribes with 3 dominant groups yet we justify these appointments based on merit as if there are no competent hand from other tribes.

Repeating the mistake of Buhari which caused division in the country.

Infact Buhari enthroned the whole of the North but Tinubu is taking tribalism/nepotism to a new height by focusing solely on Yourbas..

Obasanjo in his prime did exactly what Buhari did, he brought together the rest of the south and had a strong force to match the North.

Today, your kins is fighting and putting pressure on you to give them the whole juicy appointment, so desperate as if Nigeria is ending soon and they want their own bite.

Mr president, you didn't even ask if its only their vote that made you president.


Anybody ing this madness is the real enemy of this country..

8 years of Buhari just ended, like a movie 4 years of this istraton will be done.

Even devout ers of APC from other regions especially the North is baffled.

Peter Obi was the one alleged to have the intent to enthrone such nepotism.

Enjoy greatly o ye ers of this madness for time will come when you wished it was otherwise..

For a president that allegedly won less than 37% of electorate, Tinubu , you can do better.

I know the pressure is from your kins Mr president but it will lead you to no where..

Your so called alliance with the North is failing, the clamour to unite themselves against you is real.

You have no concrete alliance in the South, your tribal kins don't trust anyone.

They will end up pushing you out of this seat before your time and sending Yourbas into longterm political exile.

Your biggest enemy in the future will be your greatest allies yesterday.

Am seeing the NORTH plotting with the rest of the SOUTH against you.

When this happens, these so called your kins pushing you into this decision and rejoicing today will desert and even blame you.


There is no progress without unity and no unity without fairness..

With the absence of "Yorubanization" in past istration, what did we achieve? When former presidents did as you've suggested, has the country gotten any better??

Picking from all the tribes doesn't mean the tribe will actually benefit anything from it.

We have compulsory leaders from every part of the country in the legislature (senate and house of reps). Why do you think this is in the constitution?

I dont care where anyone is from, as long as the job is done! Its time we start looking at results, not tribe.

It is even too low for a touted master strategist. Like you pointed out, OBJ had a United South, GEJ may have been misguided to favour the north, but he had true allies in SE & NC. PMB had SW and the entire north. The greatest undoing for this istration will be the disunited south, because when the north rallies against him (like they did GEJ before 2011), he will have no base outside SW. His minions are not even helping matters, the SW used to be more refined than we have seen this year. Definitely, a lot will change going forward. It is really an emilokan presidency. Time will tell how far it gets him.

This is common sense

You put only your trusted allies in charge of your wallet, treasury and security

IGP was Tinubu's former ADC, they eat and dine together, they are brothers, if anybody is planning any evil, even without Tinubu knowing IGP would fight for his boss

Buhari reappointed Emefiele without even conducting due diligence or knowing him, he just felt since he is qualified give him the job, we saw how he betrayed the trust of Nigerians and Buhari

I don't understand why some Nigerians are not normal.

Presidency is not family business, you're leading a whole country, why is this too hard to understand.

Tomorrow when he's out and another tribe does same, you will be first to cry foul.

If you can't trust other tribes then you have no business leading them..

In the court, you maintained that Tinubu won 2/3 in over 20 states.

Oga, appoint people from those states then.

Stop this tribal mindset....

This is where Democracy emerged

Now Tinubu appointed his loyalist and allies who are not even related to him then you cry blue murder... Nepotism

Buahri gave Tinubu's protege, Fowler FIRS chairman and Emefiele as Cbn governor both whom are from Southern Nigeria
kettykin: 8:33am On Sep 16, 2023
Even military juntas don't operate this way I am really surprised though. How can the president, chief judge, minister for justice, IG of police, Chief of army staff, minister of interior,commander brigade of guards , CBN governor, firs chairman, minister of finance Chief of staff all be from a part of the country .

This is no longer looking like the democracy I used to know.

Very soon inec chairman will be replaced from the same part of the country .

Buhari seems to be a real saint compared to the barefaced nepotism playing out

I the appointment of Wale Edun as finance minister and Cardoso as CBN governor because these are people you can not doubt their level of competence to deliver. Nigeria need immediate repairs so we need people with experience to get the country back on its tract. Though I don't pity Tinubu because he is responsible for puting Nigeria where it is today by sponsoring Buhari so let him clear the mess he created. If Tinubu can get a more competent person to run the power sector, then i am ready to forget about his certificate forgery case.

So, Tinubu can't trust anybody in the five remaining regions (SE, SS, NC, NW, and NE) with CBN, FIRS, Customs, head of service, ant general, minister of finance? It must be only SW? Even Buhari was not that bad! Tinubu won over Atiku who is their son in Jigawa, Kano, Zamfara and Niger, yet he can't trust anybody in these states with the above mentioned posts. I suspect, Tinubu is being misled by Femi Gbajabiamila and his wife because no any other person has immense influence on him as these two people!

Reasonable people should encourage the government to set in motion plans to restructure our polity, instead of fanning the embers of an ethnically-driven power grab. The winner-takes-it-all approach is a recipe for disaster as any good student of our nation's history should know.

What Nigeria needs is a weaker centre, in the spirit of true federalism, and Tinubu more than anyone else knows this based on his antecedents.

The former governor of Lagos State called for a return to the ideals of the 1963 Constitution, which he said guaranteed fiscal federalism, regional autonomy, regional constitutions, and progressive competition among the federating units.

Tinubu said, “Many of the 68 items on the Exclusive Legislative List should be transferred to the Residual Legislative List,” explaining, “This would be in harmony with the 1963 Constitution, again an instance of reaching back to revive something old yet more likely to give us a better Nigeria. That prior constitution granted vast powers to the regions, enabling them to carry out their immense responsibilities as they saw fit.”

Buhari favored a whole North 3 regions with South West benefiting what's largely meant for South..... So he had 4 regions of 6

Tinubu is giving most position to 1 region out of 6 and you want to compare it to 4/6

I am not up and about on the tribal thingy. I am just pointing out that precedence have been set and it is mostly the beginning of something we see, we rarely know how it ends. Going forward,there is every likely hood that every president will also always prefer to work with only the people they can trust. The implications? Well, let's see how they unfold.

Oh, and how does that personally benefits me? I hope you know that we Yorubas are the most independent-minded tribes which by implications mean that my tribesman may even chose to favour you more than I, his fellow kinsman without remorse.
I beg, let's drop the tribal sentiments. It holds no water.

Those who never wish Yoruba well are at it again.

Obasanjo came and brought Igbo out of the dog house since the end of the War. They called him detribilized Nigerian.

Jonathan, a Biafran, came and turn his Government into Igbo and Southsouth Government telling who did not like it to go to blazes. He called Obasanjo that made him, a motor park tout. Jonathan made Dansuki Father Xmas to placard the North.

: our money we spend it anyway we want.

Buhari came and filled all positions with those he trusted and stole more than Abacha because Abacha never stole (enough)!

Tinubu who most Yoruba cannot stand as reflected in Osun and Lagos outsmarted all of us and became the President.

Since day one, you would rather see another Buhari or Jonathan than ANY Yoruba. You prefer a coup than Tinubu. You want Court to make anyone but Yoruba the President.

Tinubu has barely been there for 100 days. You refused him honeymoon period you gave every head of state including military.

This is not about Tinubu or his character that Yoruba disapproved BUT HATE for anything YORUBA.

YORUBA can see through you. This is why they are now ing Tinubu. Wise people fight fire with fire. The more you hate Yoruba, the more Yoruba used what you hate to fight you.

Zetra7,

I did not realize you are one of the ignoramus. The days you used to appeal to Yoruba sense of liberal fairness, tolerance and accommodation of others in our political parties, on our land and in our Governments are limited now.

Whose land did you buy with drug money? Check the lease of those you "bought" for 99 years. Your generation cannot inherit it.

Odeson, which citizens call themselves American, Russians or British. So you are very daft. Are you living under a rock?

Never heard of Irish American, Scottish American, Italian American, Polish American? You do not know about Ukraine/Russian war or ever heard of Yugoslavia?

Enough is enough. No more feeding on Yoruba good grace. You are Trojan horse on Yoruba sympathy.
