So that we can go in peace! The South need peace!But it will still surprise you that many of us "Southerners" still want this country to remain one despite the fact that we "can never be one"! Remember, the Abokis want out in this 'inglorious marriage' shortly after arriving from Aburi during Gowon regime before the Nigerian-Biafran War, unfortunately it was the then Allison Ayida led (a southerner) civil service commission that convinced them to stay, and now we are in this mess.Trust me there are still many 'Allisons in the house' who want this contraption to still exist as ONE! ![]() |

(DAILY TRUST) Nigeria: Army, Navy Officers Grumble Over Promotions By Mohammed S. Shehu and Misbahu Bashir, 24 December 2012 Officers in the Army and Navy are grumbling over alleged lopsidedness in the recent promotions. The Army last week promoted 22 Brigadier Generals to the rank of Major General and 37 Colonels to the rank of Brigadier General. Also promoted were 91 Lieutenant Colonels to the rank of Colonel. Weeks earlier, the Navy also conducted its own promotions of 112 officers. Daily Trust learnt that many officers feel aggrieved because they are left out of the promotions exercise even though they are qualified and that there are vacancies to fill. There are also allegations that certain sections of the country have been favoured to the detriment of others. In the list of Army promotions published last week, no details of state of origin of the officers were given. But Daily Trust learnt that of those promoted to Major Generals, South-South has 5, South-West 4, South-East 3, North-Central 4, North-West 3 and North-East 3. Colonels promoted to Brigadier Generals in the North-West were 4, North-Central 8, Northeast 1, South-East 7, South-West 9 while South-South got 8. A source told Daily Trust that in a particular Army corps, only two officers were promoted to the rank of Brigadier General even though many vacancies were available. When contacted, the Director of Army Public Relations, newly-promoted Major General Mobolaji Koleoso, said he was not aware about the allegations and will not make comment on them. In the Navy, 112 senior officers were promoted to various ranks late last month. The exercise involved 19 Commodores moved to the rank of Rear Admiral, 40 Captains to the rank of Commodore, 33 Commanders to the rank of Captain and 20 Lieutenant Commanders to the rank of Commander. A senior officer in the Navy said the promotions were skewed against the North, with no officer from the Northeast getting promoted even though there is a particular state that has four officers on the promotions list. Navy's Director of Information Commodore Kabir Aliyu could not be reached for comments. 'How military officers are promoted' A source in the military gave Daily Trust an insight into how promotions are done in the armed forces. "On the promotion calendar, a particular course year for regular and short service officers is supposed to be promoted to the rank of Major General, Brigadier General and Colonel," the source said. "However, because of the inability of their predecessors billed for promotion to secure promotion and move on, it became difficult for some of the officers to be promoted even though they are qualified for promotion. "Therefore, those who are due for promotion have to wait for the top to be cleared. By implication, some of these officers have to spend more years on a particular rank against the establishment standard of progression in the military. "In order to pacify some of these officers and keep the system moving, some of them have to be promoted and retired to give space for others." On requirements for promotion, the source explained further: "The Army has established qualification requirements for promotion of officers. There are basically three requirements: C+ from either War Collage, Command and Staff Collage and other courses; awards garnered during the period like the Chief of Army Staff award, National Honour, Personal Evaluation Report (PER) for good conducts and establishment; and lastly geo political zone to balance the equation. All these depend on when there is vacancy and age on rank." The source also said in spite of the criteria, favouritism may creep in. "You cannot rule out favour in such kind of activity. It is natural some will be favoured but it minimal in the army because of the discipline," he said. "If you look at the promotion, you will find out that while some geopolitical zones have two or three Generals, others have six and above." Regarding the "age on rank" policy, the source said under this, "you are expected to make the rank of a Brigadier between the age 50 and 53, Major General 53 and 55." END |

This issue of state of origin or zone shd be abolished. I grew up in d north but when issues of school admission or job is raised, ones state of origin or religion comes to play. During census, most of us that are not northerners are counted as residents or inhabitants of d zone or region thus increasing their no but during recruitment, u wont be considered at all. U will be asked to go back to ur state. This is more disadvantagious to Igbos who populate most of d big cities outside Igboland unlike other tribes that are handful in Igboland. Saying Kano, Kaduna, Lagos is 9 millions plus, how many Igbos make up d population? |

Is it now Ihejirika's turn? There is this piece circulating online on army promotions under General Ihejirika. The author, apparently sponsored by faceless failures, alleged that Ihejirika was promoting his Igbo brothers over Northerners to achieve an "Igbo agenda". Here is what I know. BY John Okiyi Kalu Unlike other past Army Chiefs, Ihejirika insisted on competence and merit as a basis for promotion to very senior positions in the Nigerian Army. To give teeth to that policy and engender competence and professionalism, he invited an external body to administer promotion examination for those within the relevant cadres. If Igbo or Yoruba man passed that exam and the author's sponsors fail to make it, should we promote the olodos and sacrifice competence and professionalism? All the while "federal character" and "we we" were used as basis to promote all manner of misfits in the army, how did Nigeria benefit? Apart from coup plotting induced pot bellies and class looting of the nation, what did we gain from past promotions? Let the author of that vile piece summon the courage to publish all promotions made in the Army from 1979 to date. It will help the whole world see why everything is wrong with Nigeria. Don't forget that even out of power, militicians replaced themselves with their civilian minions made up of slightly more incompetent people at all levels. Even then they still find themselves retiring and contesting elections to continue the suffocation of Nigeria to death. To them, merit is haram. For Christ sake people should also stop insulting our sensibilities by flaunting fake population figures in public discussions. We are not in the dark ages and anyone who cares to know the truth about Nigeria's population should simply go to google earth and see how many buildings are there from Abuja to Sokoto. Even the British have long accepted complicity in this census fraud. I challenge any living Nigerian to swear that those figures we bandy about as census figures truly represent Nigeria's population distribution. If you lie let your story be Nigeria's story. Great potentials but negative growth for 52 years. Let it be known that any system that is based on merit will favor the Igbo man and competence driven Nigerians, naturally. If the rest of the country is not ready for merit based progress let them reconsider keeping Igbos in Nigeria. It is wrong to force them to remain in Nigeria while living in mortal fear of them. Like I've said severally, a key reason Nigeria is not moving forward remains her fear of the Igbo man. That mind set have led to a situation where every single national system must have a viral program that says "keep Igbos down". A country committed to keeping one section down will remain down to keep that section down. It is better to seat down and tell them to go and form their own country so that those who choose to remain will progress (or retrogress) without Igbophobia. Even our national football team is now a victim of this "I love, I no love" attitude towards Igbos. One so called activist recently posted thrash on how the match allowance paid to the national ogbono team mean enriching the Igbo nation. The emergency activist forgot that the glorious USA 94 team was also an "Igbo team". With the exception of Yekini and 2 others,, the rest of those who made up the first team were of Igbo Origin. I can tell anyone without fear of contradiction that the team excelled because Westerhoff made his team selection based on merit. All the coaches after him were forced to operate under the "national agenda". Not long ago, we saw similar propaganda being circulated against the former head of immigration. She was sacked two weeks ago. It was also deployed against Barth Nnaji and he lost out. Such propaganda is hardly deployed against the locust and cankerworm of the Nigerian nation. They can steal N37b police pension money and get 2 years with option of N750k fine. Billions of new naira notes can disappear at CBN and nobody will talk about the CBN governor but EFCC will look for Soludo over N750m contract awarded by Obasanjo. Sincerely, if Nigeria is not ready for merit based growth and development, let's sit down and talk. Lord Luggard's 100 years expires next year, 2014. If because of hypocrisy we cannot shake hands and say "you are still my brother no matter your new republic" let us agree a regional government where each region pursues the type of development suited to it. While some might choose the Sharia model, others will be free to pursue Awolowo style development socialism or apply the American Capitalist model based on merit and competence. If one region is making progress others will copy or at least visit that region to borrow wisdom. Who knows, after AD 2140, our great grand children might decide to come together and propagate and pursue merit as a basis for reward, promotion and appointments.. God forbid that my children will belong to a country where merit and competence are punished. This post was posted to my FACEBOOK page and i agree absolutely with the author! 8 Likes |

For over 38 years, d north has hijacked the rulership of this country-military dictators, army, navy, airforce, police, custom, e.t.c. This comes to show me how people can be intolerant to injustice to which they perpetrated on others. Just cos of natural incident of death dt saw a southern taking over d presidency, they raised boko to cause chaos thru violence. Just now, since after d civil war, an Ibo man, (who has been marginalised in all aspect) became an army chief of staff, its a problem to them. People nawao 2 Likes |

SILLY STUPID NIGERIAN AT WHAT THEY DO BEST! CRYING VICTIMS WHEN THINGS DON'T GO THEIR WAY. The times when northern coas had been promoting only northern officers, we did not hear anything, now an easterner is the coas and promoting only ibos, they will not let us sleep with their noise, if a westerner becomes the coas and do the same for yorubas, i'm sure it would be the same story and the crazy cycle keeps rolling. go ahead, the game is as good as played. |

Dude, I always stand on the side of history and righteousness. Take for instance EFCC. When Nuhu Ribadu was the chairman of that organization, he single handedly recruited Adamawa state indigenes and filled the commission to brim with his fulani brothers. Check this out. Nuhu Ribadu chairman(Fulani), Adamawa State Ibrahim Lamorde(Fulani), Director of Operations, i.e. second in command is aslo from Adamawa state. Muazu Zabairu(Fulani, 3rd in command is from Adamawa/Gombe Mohammed Wakili(Fulani), 4th in command, head of Lagos operation is from Adamawa/Gombe . . .The list is endless! Mark you, I know when they recruited 50 people from Adamawa out the total 150 required. where is the useless quota system? Fulani is the second language spoken at EFCC headquarters presently. As it is now, all EFCC chairman in line of succession are from Adamawa. Who is the present head? is he not from Adamawa state? who is going to succeed him? Adamawa?? With exception of Farida Wazira that was appointed from outside. Why are these fools not writing petition to the national assembly about the "fulanisation" of EFCC structure? When I have time, I will post about Prison service and how the Katagum Mafias, small town in Bauchi state that produced 2 Secretary to Federal Government plundered it like a war spoil. And much later on, I will go on ride with Obj and the compulsory retirements of officers he perceived as threat to his government. No one moved a muscle when all these was happening, only to be shouting now because ibo man is involved. Pathetic. Ejiné: 3 Likes |

With due respect, it was during the tenure of His Excellency General Olusegun Obasanjo that a large swathe of ststes in northern Nigeria in quick succession started declaring themselves officially as sharia states, against the spirit and letter of the Nigerian Constitution. His Excellency General Obasanjo's response then of to do nothing actually emboldened those states and actually set the stage for Nigeria's current security situation. The world is really keenly watching you Nigerians to see how you measure up to your claims to being the giants of Africa, or whether you are even ready to join the 21st century. |
