We said it. A chameleon cannot change hia skin. This man is an incurable tribalist, a nepotic despot and an ethnic chauvinist. Southerners who are still ing him need psychological examination. This is very irritating!

The Masquerade that dances first will surely sit back and watch others dance later.
Keep choosing from one side, but it will be another mans turn tomorrow. When he begins to do same make no body cry foul then.

Life is turn by turn. Teach me and learn

The north will cry one day because of buhari

Buhari is such a predictable ethnic bigot

Cool for him

Hope it is now clear to those Southerners shouting sai Baba that Buhari does not have them in mind nor care for them. You can now see that he knows what he is doing. Ethnic and religious bigot.


FOR THOSE WHO MISSED OR DID NOT UNDERSTAND THIS DOCUMENTARY ABOUT BUHARI DURING 2015 ELECTION, WATCH IT AGAIN NOW

Yusuf Magaji Bichi

hmmmmm fear North

Am sure Buhari knew nothing about this one Again

The slave, cowardly idiotic pigs of Nigeria from one particular segment of the Shithole will still come out to defend him

I know he would never leave a man from bayelsa to man that organisation, they must speak hausa at the security chief meeting.


Now i hope that idiot uboh can now hide his head in shame.

Convener of the NDPA, Dr. Uboh Udosen, in a statement said the appointment of Mr Mathew Seiyefa has reaffirmed President Buhari as a patriotic leader and a core Nationalists.
Let it be place on record that Mathew Seiyefa was twice shortchanged by the Government of Yar’adua/Jonathan when he should have naturally assumed the position of the organization DG by reason of seniority and competence but was push aside and instead the duo of Gadzama and Ekpeyong were appointed against the law of natural justice and incomplete disregard to laid down laws of our land. “Today, the injustice meted out to Mathew Seiyefa by a fellow Ijaw/Niger Deltan the then President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan have been redressed by a Fulani man/northerner President Muhammadu Buhari who symbolizes justice and fairplay.

I am sure this bichi would not only be of lower rank than matthew, he would most likely be dumb and incompetent as well.

like for buhari

Nepotic lifeless president is at it again!!!

Correct me if I am wrong, is Matthew Seiyeifa not suppose to be next in line

Buhari will never change!!!

Shame on those who is giving him another platform to campaign !!!

They are the real enemies of Nigeria!!!

The only people who wouldn't expect this are the idiotic Sai Baba chanters

Northerner baa?

kaorama:
We said it

this man is so predictable

a terrorist bastard

though i like his tactics of putting his men on strategic position against 2019 elections
what Gej failed to do even when his good friends told him about compromised jega then
that cost him dearly

useless president

Even though I'm a born again Christian, i think seyeifa is a wrong replacement for Daura because he's a southern Christian who would be influenced by our myriads of fake pastors and GO's. A Christan who is submissive to fake pastors should never lead a Secret police. Muslims keeps secrets than we Christians so Buhari did not goof on this patriotic appointment

the guy doesn't hide his bias anymore. anyways a man who clearly told world bank to direct all help to north, a man who wants Nigeria to fund Railtrack to chad and Niger from loan Nigerians will be paying, he withheld the appointment of southern CJN for silly reasons. same way many qualified DIG were retired just to make AIG idris the IGP, he has also cut short Mathew sefiya's final lap of his career just to field a junior rank. I honestly hope northerners are clearly watching cos should the zoning come south ward. northerners would feel the heat.

Unrepented sectionalist

Thats how we roll. The position is not a position for any person not having the same political, religious and tribal inclination. Its a position that any president in the world will put in the hands of his own person.

Buhari knows the game. No amount of criticism can change this

We talk am


Nepotism & bigotry at the highest level.


Buhary must not be allowed to continue beyond 2019.

This is really nauseating! And some fools are still busy shouting the name of this old fool demented slowpoke everywhere.

Honestly there is no more hope for Nigeria

Our mumu don do

Buhari is funny.

PMB never fails to disappoint!
Can't even hide his nepotism and bigotry for just some few months before election.

IF PMB AND THIS APC LED GOVERNMENT CAN ACT LIKE THIS WHEN THEY HAVE SOMETHING AT STAKE(RE-ELECTION), WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN THEY HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO LOSE?!

this man is so predictable

a terrorist bastard

I don't care....
All I know is... Say no to buhari 2019.

Ahhhh Buhar, what happened to , " I BELONG TO EVERYBODY, I BELONG TO NOBODY" speech you happily reeled out to Nigerians during your swearing-in ceremony in 2015?

I see nepotism, ethnic and religious bigotry and tribal favouritism in all Buhari's appointments. You totally belong to Daura.

hmmm

Goodness me! This Lifeless Dolt takes Bigotry to a whole new level.
