Congrats Sir, build on the gains of Fowler.





Hahahahahahaha........

As usual he didn't disappoint.

When you see them making noise insulting everyone all over the places, just note, is not as if they are not getting what they are actually entitled to. The problem is that they are not getting more than their fair share.

They will soon start shouting "marginalisation" and some foolish bulcraps everywhere.

Give them appointment- we merit it.

Give others- marginalisation.

Nawao.

nothing new

All sensetive positions for abokis

Just get the job done
And do a good job

Ok

Beginning of the End.....just as predicted

Not surprised, just as predicted

Good. I wish Buhari can run for the fifth term so that everyone will enjoy it.

lol ... Buhari na im fit naija.

The majority are a stubborn, tribalistic people, so they deserve a stubborn, tribalistic president. How they looked at his antecedents and still elected him in 2015 is stuff of magic as even the Sahara Reporters' man can now testify.

Maybe future presidents (especially the more or less politically correct ones to come from the south) are taking notes.

Adios Señor Fowler. Guess it was fun while the supposed alliance lasted.

Awusubilahi . Won ti kapa Tinubu. ANAN chartered not even ican or acca nawa

Republic of Northern Nigeria...smh

While the average Yoruba n Igbo man on Nairaland are fighting tribal wars with their keypads, the real threats are taking all the Federal positions and swimming in billions. Smh

Government of the north for the north.
