But it’s alright for Yorubas to call Igbos tribal bigots?

You can’t deny that plenty of Yoruba people are tribalistic, just as many Igbos can be. That’s a neutral fact, not a personal insult. So stop taking it as such.

How many none Indigenes have been Commissioners in the SE since 1999?

Outside of Lagos, is there anywhere else in Nigeria that non-indigenes have been made commissioners (besides the commissioner of police)?

Not trying to argue or anything. Just wish to know.

As a Yoruba man, I can never generalise it, but I was very surprised at what I experienced during my NYSC. I served at Kebbi state, and in our lodge, we have 5 Yoruba, and 3 Igbos. To my surprise, the Igbos don't speak their language to themselves, while we Yoruba always communicate with our language within ourselves. But to our surprise, they went to report us that we're always speaking Yoruba within ourselves, and I was like WTF!
That you're not convinient speaking your language doesn't stop others to speak theirs

[quote author=Christistruth03 post=125695959][/quote]

Lagos will always be something of an anomaly. Given its history as a former federal territory, which led to it being very ethnically heterogenous and far more cosmopolitan than anywhere else in Nigeria, it will be dishonest to use it as an example of the character of Yoruba states in general. That is why I initially said "aside from Lagos".

As for Kaduna, I know of two Ìgbò aides appointed by the current Kaduna State governor. I don't know of any commissioners. Your screenshotted tweet did not specify this Igbo commissioner's name. If you want to talk about aides, go and look up Orji Uzo Kalu's tenure as governor in Abia State when he appointed aides from all across Nigeria.

Also you might also want to look up Hajia Rabi Shinkafi from Zamfara who resigned from her position as Commissioner in Zamfara to take up a commisonerial offer from the governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodinma.

Besides Lagos (which is an anomaly) every other state in Nigeria is still conservative about appointing non-indigenes. Once in awhile, we will hear of an exception and everyone applauds, but don't act like Ìgbò states are particularly unusual about not appointing non-indigenes, because that is statistically incorrect.


Also, I do not know why you added a screenshot about Fulani people to your response to me, as it has nothing to do with the question I asked you, which is about state appointment of non-indigenes.

Anti-Fulani incidents are pervasive throughout the Middle Belt, the Southwest, the South-South and the South-east where they have been seen as (rightly or wrongly) something of a menace for decades now. I'll even say the Southeast has not been as proactive about this as other regions. You somehow trying to suggest that is it something specific to the South-East is disingenuous and no doubt motivated by your own anti-Igbo prejudice.

Cheers. 🥂

I’m no bigot. I’m just pointing out a neutral fact. You don’t like it, you don’t like it.
