The Central Bank facility in ABJ was designed to cater for 2000 personnel but during PMB’s tenure it was overstaffed with about 4000 extra persons.
Majority of these guys were young Hausa children of influential parents.
They were given employment without any assignment.
In other words they were collecting salaries without doing any work.
- Most of them also were not qualified.
- They will not agree to work anywhere else outside ABJ.
Remember when BAT became president, he relocated some branches of the CBN to Lagos. It was because of them.
Many of them who were supposed to be staff in these branches resigned because they were not ready to relocate.
The second step was to transfer others outside ABJ.
That also attracted further resignations.
- The rest staff were offered the option of taking an exam to remain in the bank or accepting a 2 year salary severance package and leaving the establishment.
Most took the package because they knew they were not qualified.
My friend’s daughter works in the CBN and she took the exam and is still there today.
That is how BAT sanitized the place.
All this noise stems from the anger of these people (Hausa/Fulani) who all along have been taking advantage of Nigeria and treating it like it belongs to them only.
Nigeria’s economy is in this terrible state today because of what they used CBN and Emefiele to do with the dollar.
When BAT took over, they discovered an account in CBN with $20ml belonging to the 6 year old child of Buhari’s nephew.
They were buying at very cheap rate and selling at great profit using bureau D change agents. Because of this, business people, importers, manufacturers and ordinary people traveling could not get dollars to buy. That is what damaged the naira.
Today most of the Bureau d change businesses have closed because the price difference in dollar between the CBN and the open market is very small.
They are very angry, that is why they are coming up with all manner of negative propaganda against BAT.
I am not a fan of BAT. I did not vote for him but some of what he is doing is very good for us.
Look at Wike as FTC minister, who would have thought that a non Hausa could ever become the FTC minister.
The petroleum subsidy was another cash cow of these people but now it’s gone.
Many of them were putting forward false documents and collecting money without importing anything.
Today also petroleum theft has drastically been curtailed.
So all this talk of converting the National Assembly to APC so that he would become life president is nothing but cheap propaganda.
The problem of Nigeria has been the Hausa North. They are not progressive in anything.
Their definition of progress is to loot government money for themselves and their cronies.
They don’t do anything worthwhile for their people.
Imagine the banditry and terrorism still going on in Sotoko, Zamfara, Katsina, Kebbi, Bornu and Yobe states all these years and yet nothing has been done by them, even when PMB was president.
It is because their leaders sponsor it because of mining of minerals.
They still allow Fulani herders to roam about and almajiri system to continue in this day and age. Haba! It is not only very shameful but also disgraceful.
They are desperate to see that BAT does not make 2nd term because if that happens then you can be sure that Nigeria will be restructured.
Why should Lagos state generate income and then share it with the rest of the nation?
That is part of what his tax reform is correcting.
Let every state generate their internal revenue and use it.
A few years ago in Zamafa state, they looted all the money in the government purse and when there was nothing left they went and cleaned out the civil servants’ pension money.
Brother, Nigeria must change and we must always remember that a coin has 2 sides, so BAT cannot be 100% okay.
With the issue of putting his Yoruba people in strategic positions, I don’t blame him. He has to put people he can trust.
Buhari also did the same.
We see what happened to GEJ when he drew some Arewa people close to him, he was betrayed by them from within his government.
God allowed PMB to rule Nigeria to teach us a lesson because Nigerians claimed he is the only person that can save us and this was including the church.
Many Christians and some men of God were involved in the protests and process of removing GEJ and bringing Buhari.
I believe that the deliverance of Nigeria is going to be in phases and for now God is using BAT to do somethings that no leader has been able to do over the years: example is the fuel subsidy and the whittling of the Hausa/Fulani grip on power.
If Nigeria is to progress, then these people must be put in their place.
We just have to keep praying and looking on to Jesus for the healing of Nigeria.
The above expression is absolutely not that of the Scope News. It is derived online.
Yes, Tinubu’s confrontational stance against the Fulanu oligarchy is quite overt and obvious. He did not pull punches when he rejected El Rufai and refused him a place in his cabinet. Straight out accused him through his Senate praise singers as A Security Risk.
Then his war with Aliko Dangote, the Fulani multi Billionaire. He brought that one to his knees and made him cowtow to him. Now, Mr Dangote is subjective and literary subservient to him.
Then there is Shettima, his supposed vice. That one he has placed in a permanent state of obscurity. And worse being that it is becoming glaringly obvious that the 2027 ticket will be without Shettima. And maybe without a Fulani.
Also, the case is with the leader of Meyitti Allah. The cattle herders association. A man who during the dismal days of Buhari, his followers carry sophisticated weapons brazenly, as if they are an invading force. Tinubu has quieten them and put them in their righful lowly place.
I also remember the man that was accused of sponsoring the end Bad Governace protests last year. Tinubu grabbed him, and today the man is out of ear and out of sound. In total obscurity.
Then added to the purge of the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Nigeria National Petroleum (NNPC) as elucidated above by the writer.
REACTIONS
If all that is said above are the reasons why he is hated, then why do a lot of the Yorubas like Obasanjo and others hate him.
Why is he and his followers not loved in Edo state.
Why is he and his henchman Wike disdained in Rivers state. Remember the famous walkout of the Rivers state women on the wife of the current Military administrator.
Why don’t the Igbos like him?
Why do the Nigerian Diasporas and indeed the international community express discomfiture towards him and his cohorts?
Granted that he is at war with the Fulanis (note that the Hausas are not included in this, as they are one of the most sidelined ethnic groups in Nigeria). A situation that is watched with keen interest by both the local and international communities. But what is of note here is that Tinubu does not do anything for any other person but Tinubu.
More reactions from Nigerians will be welcome to the post.
Its been now two years and three months. Can Nigerians give Tinubu their ratings. On a scale of 1 – 10
