MUHAMMADU BUHARI'S APPOINTEES: IS IT NOW A CRIME IN NIGERIA TO APPOINT COMPETENT PERSONS IN STRATEGIC POSITIONS?

First of all as a Nigerian, I have all the right to comment on the national issues both the economics, political and socials  issues as it affects my people ( saying my people does not mean am referring to Ijebus or Yorubas in particular but Nigerians in general) Having said that, I have read some comments about  Muhammad Buhari’s few appointments so far, but it’s a pity that most Nigerians are still “sick minded”. Is it a crime in Nigeria now to appoint the right persons to strategic positions in his administration? “And the tribalists are ranting. They claimed that their tribesmen and women were neglected. They did not complain of qualifications of these selected few. But because they are not from their tribes, these sick minded Nigerians did  not tell us few months ago that he would make appointments based on our constitution’’.

Wait a minute, as far as am concern, I never believe in the second slavery Edict, Law or phrases called ‘QUOTA SYSTEM’. The system is rubbish; it’s a ‘tribal and ethnic sentiments’, whereby a mediocre will be appointed based on ethnicity and tribal crap so as to satisfy our myopic tribal masturbations.

What is the quota system? According to FactMonster, quota system was defined as: 1. a system, originally determined by legislation in 1921, of limiting by nationality the number of immigrants who may enter the U.S. each year.
2. a policy of limiting the number of minority group members in a business firm, school, etc.
3. any hiring or admissions policy requiring that a specified number or percentage of minority group members be hired or admitted.
