From democracy to Northenocracy: A young burgeoning political analyst, Oke Umurhohwo writes

Northernocracy is a government of the North, by the North and for the North.
This is what has been trending on Social media since yesterday when President Buhari announced his Service Chiefs.


So far, PMB has made 17 Appointments and the distribution is as follows:
Northern Region: 14 (82%)
South Western Region: 2 (12%)
South South: 1 (6%)
South Eastern Region: 0 (0%)
The stats above clearly show a highly favorable regime to the Northern Region while all other regions have either not be represented or barely been represented.
In a country like Nigeria where ethnicity and cultural divide is still very prominent, I hope the government of the day know what it's doing.
It spells doom and disaster for our nascent democracy if this trend continue unabated. Until such a time when our democracy has come of age, I would call on the government of the day to maintain the Federal character as clearly stated in our Constitution.
I would just employ the proverbial "Sit-Down-Look-Na-Dog-Name" until we see the ministerial list and the ministry attachment to know if we can fully call this Buhari's administration a Northernocracy or not.
God Bless Nigeria.

Is it correct to say I waybilled it to you? A few expressions you probably don't understand

Good morning KIB students. Thank you for showing immense love to your teacher. Many of you understand how draining it could be for someone to consistently post here on Facebook. I appreciate those who ensure that my bank account doesn't  get flooded with cockroaches😃. Anyway, let's get down to brass tacks. What is a waybill? a waybill is a list that contains  names of people and goods to be conveyed from one location to another. It is that book where you write your name before entering a bus. There is an air waybill, sea waybill etc. Waybill cannot be verbalised. I want to waybill some goods to you❌ If you are looking for a verb to replace  the erroneous 'waybill', here are two genuinely accepted words to use. 1. Freight (verb) transport (goods) in bulk by truck, train, ship, or aircraft. "the metals had been freighted from the city". We freighted the cargo down to Port Harcourt. freight is used when  goods are quite bulky. When good...
