In a complex multi ethnic nation Nigeria Buhari has reduced Nigeria to one ethnic group hausa or fulani and to one religion islam. You cannot give what you dont have. Yorubas should bury their heads in shame for electing Buhari.
Must police IGP and EFCC boss comes from the northern part of the country all the time?
Congratulations to him
All d sensitive top positions given to either d fulanis or d hausas even if they don’t merit it.
Are we practicing one Nigeria or practicing Northern Nigeria?
May almighty Allah guide him.
You so on point my dear, they are the ones who put us in this quagmire of clueless, nepotistic and backward reverse motion.
