Should we add it to federal character?


Anyways good seeing Akwa Ibom and Edo boys there, Yorubas and igbos dominant as usual.
Meanwhile some cattle rearing nomads are no where to be found.

Na military Una go see them
70% of those in military are from the North

A big congratulations to the first candidate Miss Agnes and second candidate Mister David . Scoring 365 and 363 is no easy feat.

Not even one Northern state ,but in the next couple of years when is time to appoint ministers and DG is northerners that did not scare 150 in their jamb names we see , that is why Nigeria will continue to be backward

I rather you check the statistics before you begin this your habitual tribal slur. The analysis below should tell you something.

In the list, 6 candidates are from Southwest, 5 from Southsouth and 2 from Southeast.

10 of them reside in the Southwest.

They all chose Universities from Southwest as their first choice.

Abeg jump on something else to gloat about and leave these young innocent champs out of your usual tribal banter. It is getting nauseating.

Abolish federal character and there'll be nowhere to be found

Swears, dunno why Lord Lugard amalgamated North and South self.
North would probably be a desert by now.

I have never seen any brilliant student choose a University in the North , why ? I need explanation

Good
Where is Arewa in that List
Few Years from now they will be the ones at the Hem of affairs while the brilliant and innovative Southerners will dump their certificates to start roasting corn and riding Okada. Tell me how Nigeria will ever move forward
