All the northers are not hausa or fulani, they are all from the North-east(affected region) and they are kanuri's . One of the general's from the north is also a christian.

There is no one from the NC and NW in the post

Thanks OP for the clarification. Though am sure some people will still rather choose to lump all Northerners as one unit for political purposes.

Darling, your question should be, why no Igbo in Buhari's appointments
Or is he on Re-revenge mission

What does an Igbo man gain by fighting boko haram, have they come to south east and killed your people. shouldn't you be suggesting that the people from the affected region solve the problem.

Is chief of Air Staff from Bauchi state not hausa-fulani?

The people who were appointed where from the affected region (North east). You can not appoint someone from North-west to oversee something that doesn't affect him talkless of someone from the south east

Maybe we should also lump all the Southerners too.

Then it's kinda balance! No cheating!

Sai Baba!!

It is stupid to compare a Nupe man to a kanuri

Mondy Morgan, the Chief of Defence Intelligen is from Benue State, North Central. He is a christian.

The above is very naive, a good leader would've appointed the best brain to oversea the fight against insurgency. The army is made up of career soldiers.

A needless point because most JTF commanders in the Niger Delta have been from the North!

Why didn't you look at the religious side that you are known for?
Six appointments:
Three christians.
Three muslims.

CDI (Chief of Defence Intelligence - AVM. Monday Morgan) is a Christian from North Central (Benue State)

NO

everybody from the far north is hausa fulani. From Niger to birnin kebbi, zamfara, sokoto northern kaduna, kano, bauchi, Northern gombe, Yobe all the way to adamawa and borno. Hausa/Fulani is your lingua franca. Don't come now and start reminding us there are about 100 tribes in the far north. Forget that thing, we know the fact

My darling, are u being naïve? Please boko haram isn't the only work of the service chief. There are more to being in the helm of affair and of the military. Not to talk of the silence ignorance while making appointments so far.

We Have to appoint Generals that Know the region very well and can tackle the menace of Boko boys

are you dumb, check the ethnic make up nigeria, majority of people in the North-eastern corridor are not hausa/fulani but they can speak hausa.

The leader of boko haram is Kanuri

A friend today made some clarifications that the point the Op is trying to bring out. He told me that not all the people from the North are Hausa or Fulani. The guy said Kano, Sokoto, Katsina and Zamfara are the Original Hausa and Fulani while the others are either Kanuris.

But that aside, how does non appointment of south easterners as the military chief here any problem? Why are the other regions like North West or central is not complaining here? Does this mean they are foolish or dont know what is good for them? The rate at which this Igbo go with their stupidity, I think they are going to measure up with flock of goat.

These people did not vote for Buhari, I dont understand why they want anything from him. They didnt sow the seed and they aint going to harvest a seed.

If you call the dozens of tribes in the north one people, thats a huge compliment. Go and work on your eastern unity, the situation where an Anambra man would be subjugating an Ebonyi man is simply laughable

As for the appointments, on point!

How about the dude from Bauchi?

We really have to educate our southern brothers about the north, most especially those who have lived all their lives in the south. . Most of them just assume any name that is not "igbolike", "yorubalike" or "south-south like" is hausa. Majority of southerners have failed to understand that Northern Nigeria is made up of three regions with many different ethnic groups and religion namely North east (Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Taraba, Bauchi, Gombe), North west (Kaduna, Kano, Sokoto, Zamfara, Jigawa, kebbi, Kastina) and North central (Benue, Kogi, Niger, Plateau, Nasarawa, Kwara).. Apart from states like zamfara, sokoto, jigawa, kastina, kebbi and kano that are about 99percent muslims, the rest have very good percentage of indigenous christians, though we don't see religion as a big deal here (you'd find a lot of families with christian and muslim ).. So, it is really unfair to accuse PMB of appointing only hausas.. Our major security challenge now is in the north east, therefore, it makes sense to appoint Nigerians from that region to tackle it.

You need to be educated.
