Honestly, there's a lot of talk in Nigeria about Tinubu's federal agencies appointments because a bunch of people feel like not everyone is getting a fair shot. At first, a lot of folks from the North were saying that Tinubu was only picking people from certain places and not really following the whole "federal character" idea—basically, that every region should get a fair share of government jobs. But then, after a lot of public pressure, he named 12 Northerners to big roles, and that made some Northern leaders, like Senator Ndume, happy. It kinda feels like the president is trying to listen and adjust, but people are still super touchy about who gets these jobs and if it's fair for everyone.

I remember a heated family chat about this at home! My uncle kept saying these appointments decide who gets real power and resources, so it's a big deal if one region feels ignored. If the balance tilts too much, it just creates more drama. It's not just about the jobs—it’s like bragging rights for every part of Nigeria. People really want appointments to feel fair. That's why there's so much energy and back-and-forth about it.
