Buhari's government is nothing but an Islamic/Hausa mad government. After the old man will say he's not tribalistic. Fuck Buhari and his wack appointments. Nigeria need to be divided so this hausa cows can be on their own. Enough of their cowish behaviour.

Unknown said...

I should really learn how to be calm...he is my new mentor

Unknown said...

Professor Jega well done, U proved to us that peace is not attained through war, U controlled yourself in spite of the insults and mouth U received. U took your stance in fair election rather than selling your heart for money.
U Are indeed a cool and brave man..You have inspired me

Prof. Jega has fulfilled his mission - a peaceful and purposeful election and handover. History will remember him for his role in a peaceful election in Nigeria. Even when there was treat to derail him, Jega stood firm and calm to navigate Nigeria to where we are today. God bless you.

Unknown said...

I don't celebrate traitors(Judas)... He treated his Oga(Jona) very badly so am not his fan..

Unknown said...

Jega is a disgrace and why would illiterate Buhari appoint no other than a northern goat to succeed Jega?

ujunwa said...

Thank God for you. Only get ready to reap the reward of your good or evil stewardship. You cannot escape. If it is good, you shall reap good measure, press down, shaking together and running over. If it is bad, you shall also reap, good measure, press down, shaking together and running over.

Unknown said...

wishing him well in his future endeayouse all d best sir
thank you

Anonymous said...

The Hero of this change that people are celebrating is Jonathan because he allowed it or provided the environment for it to emerge. Another Hausa man on the saddle? Jega delivered Buhari, Mohammed is meant to deliver Buhari for another second term or worse still another Hausa man. This is a well scripted plan...Lindaobserve

Unknown said...

Prof Jega was the man behind the success of the last election, he must be commended & probably be given a national award

Anonymous said...

A truly patriotic Nigerian and a role model of exemplary selfless public service.
Men like Professor Jega give us faith that Nigeria will someday attain her destined greatness.
