When Mr. President started making appointments shortly after he was sworn in as Nigeria’s president on May 29th 2015, starting with his close aids who would work with him, immediately a pattern was noticed in his appointments by those of us who cared enough to notice it.  The few, but initial appointments was largely tilted in favor of a particular region of Nigeria the north and uncoincidentally it's the very same region Mr. President is from. President Buhari, since becoming head of the Nigerian state has what I would liken to a cult follower-ship from the northern region, hence when I use the term his supporters in the write up, I mean  not only people who are from the presidents region but those from other parts of Nigeria still with strong/passionate support for Mr President.

Anyway as I drove, ahead of me I saw the #fantastically corrupt Nigerian Police Force (NPF) officers on “stop & search duty”, and true to their calling they stopped me, asked for my vehicle papers and licence, after checking and finding nothing implicating, to haggle me a...
