Agbakoba, people do not reap where they didn't sow.
When the South West didn't have the 1st 6 positions between 2011 and 2015 heavens didn't fall.
South East should strategise for 2023.
If they continue to follow Nnamdi Kanu, there will be no hope.

It is not worrisome....it is a god Development. It would vindicate Kanu and also ...it would make the remaining 20% of Igbo That still have any rays of hope to give up on Naija and know that Nigeria hates them ....it is clear

So ...this is blessing in disguise ! It has a way of doing these this

1. Resetting the brains of Igbo That believes in Nigeria
2. It has made the remaining 20% Igbo That hopes in nigeria to give up
3. It is a good case for international community and a refrence point for Biafra
4. It has shown that apart from South South...the Igbo has no ally except their Niger Delta
5. It has shown that nigeria is irredeemable
6. It has solidly unified Igbo And made Igbo a rugged group wey no send
7. It has shown the hypocrisy and stupidity of Nigerians and Nigeria

All u av just wrote is rubbish
It is better for your tribe to be in power,so that u can checkmate other region
This Is not about food clothes or houses
It's about power
Imagine an Igbo person is in general buratai position
u see everything happening in Nigeria
This issue is very complex
Do u think those guys don't know what they are doing

the yorubas did not meet AD during Jonathan government yoruba man was the speaker. I like the way some of you online yoruba reason, look beyond immediate happenings we should always be ready to endure karma when it comes calling.

That is how Enugu was pampered when coal was a hot cake, but the good thing about Enugu is that they made judicious use of their resources because regionalism was practiced during that time , that's why despite more than half of a century Enugu stopped being the capital of Eastern region, it was still named among the most resilient cities in the world alongside with Paris..

The problem now is what's the fate of oil producing communities if Oil becomes worthless like coal which is inevitable by next 25-30 yrs?
No land for agriculture which has been contaminated with oil
No more oil revenue .
The water is also polluted

Those that are always quick to type "SS" are only being Mischievous.
Nigeria never loved the region SS and every living thing in it which has been proven by history over and over again. The only thing important to Nigeria is what is flowing underground in the region called SS .

You're right. But why is every saying Igbos played bad politics simply bcs the didn't vote APC.
I believe the Igbos should stick to PDP and wait till 2023. l don't see APC reigning after Buhari. Once PDP pick a young northern President candidate. The north will migrate.

Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

Chief Olisa Agbakoba (SAN), a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) on Wednesday has described as worrisome that no South Easterner is occupying any position in the first six political offices in the current administration.

President Muhammadu Buhari is from the North-Central while Vice- President Yemi Osinbajo is from the South- West. Ahmad Lawan, Senate President is from the North- East while Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila the Speaker of the House of Reps is from the South- West.

Justice Tanko Mohammed the Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) is from the North- Eastern state of Bauchi while Senator Ovie Omo- Agege the Deputy Senate President is from the South- South geopolitical zone.

He also said the President Muhammadu Buhari’s speech on Democracy Day was not inspiring though it gave him a slight ray of hope.

“I was not inspired because it was not the kind of speech that I expected. I expected a foundation laying speech; meaning that if you are building a house, you find a deal with foundation issues. I think Nigeria lacks the foundation and the fact that for instance, if you look at the first six highest political offices in Nigeria and there is no Igbo man is worrying which the President hopes to achieve development and success”.

“I was hoping to hear a speech that focuses on the need for a strong, united Nigeria. I didn’t hear that. Notwithstanding, what I hear gives me a slight ray of hope. I was impressed with the issue of lifting 100 million people out of poverty in 10 years”.

“I was impressed with the fact that there will be strong men to do the job. So, what I am looking at now is to watch out for the next few days to see the kinds of people that will be appointed to drive the ship of state” he said.

Any Igbo person wailing about this top 6 position is an opportunist and potentially corrupt

Is it top 6 that will put food on anyone's table? Did they tell you people that any of those people in the corridors of power gives a hoot about the average Nigerian? People are looking for food to eat, y'all are concerned with nonsense politics that has never led to progress in Nigeria.

Is this country better off today than we were ten or twenty years ago? We are regressing into irrelevance in world politics and people are bothered with irrelevancies. What did Ekweramadu do for the advancement of the Igbo nation all that time he was DSP? Nothing.....yet, somebody is disturbing us about Igbos in the Top 6

What does it matter who is at the helm? It will only serve the person and his immediate family, none of those people care about the country and nothing they do will ever favor the country

ollah1:



Shut up man!! Nigeria hates you when you dont get slots. During GEJ reign, SE had two slots from the top six; Nigeria didnt hate you then. When you were articulating, Nigeria didnt hate you but when the reality dawned on you, you are screaming blue murder like you are used to. Emotional, hypocritical and sentimental politics

The painful bit was that Yorubas actually voted for PDP in the national level In large numbers the year we were excluded, but we didn't start crying.

it happened to yoruba 2011 to 2015. heaven did not fall.

dokiOloye:

You ppl always conveniently forget that PDP zoned the speaker of the HOR to the SW and nominated Mulitak Adeola Akanda in 2011 but saint Tinubu directed ACN reps to vote Tambuwal.

Weak comeback

Billy0naire:
The Igbo tribe of Nigeria have been doing very well without political support. I have no doubts that the sky is their limit. But no one is talking about my small tribe of less than 5m people.

Since Nigeria is now a Tribal State, can they tell us when all the tribes will have their own share of the Presidency?

Congratulations Agbakogba. Abaribe is now Minority Whip. That's like number 10 position. At all, at all, na im bad pass

Blue3k:
This is a case of entitlement mentality. Who made it anyone's birthright to have the first 6 highest political posts. Lol how did this arbitrary number come up anyway? There's a clear difference between losing and being excluded. Everyone was given opportunity to vote their choice.

1. President is elected
2. Vice President elected
3. Senate President elected by peers in senate
4. Speaker of the House elected by peers in house
5. Chief Justice appointed then confirmed
6. Deputy Senate President elected by peers in senate
