Provoking questions that can make someone drink rat poison like one of our founding fathers


I no call name oo, I come in piss

I can't just help but loose the hypocrisy we practiced in real life when we can not tell ourselves the truth...

I prefer people to hate me for telling the truth than hailing me for telling lies and continue the real life hypocrisy on social media

Ekealterego:

If you were not duuummmbb, you would know that you and the useless poster are on the same Igbo-hating page... I guess being duuummb is one criterion for being a bMC thug.

No they are not,infact op seared through his heart by that data.

only what that donkey wants to hear is bad news about igbos. Not any igbo edification or the likes

I have long heard rumors about Igbo's being sidelined and not being drafted into a "fulanized" army. So I decided to statistically confirm if it's true.

According to statista.com, 15.2 percent of Nigerians are Igbo.

Therefore, I sampled 421 officers promoted by LT GEN Buratai on November 25, 2020.

My shocking observation,

62 out of 421 officers promoted have direct Igbo surnames. This equals to 14.7 percent of the promoted officers in the Nigerian Army. This is a very close call to the actual 15.2 percentage of the Igbo ethnicity.

So my question is this, isn't this military marginalization claim simply false?

NB: No Ethnic banters, no stupid comments. No unintelligent comments please.

Interesting. May I have the source of the list of 421 officers promoted by LT GEN Buratai on November 25, 2020.

flamingREED:
Igbos are 15% of Nigerian population?
I.e 15 X 200 000 000/100
= 30 000 000?

I doubt.
We're more than that.

No, you are half the population.

Ok. I've just updated the post. The link to my data source is up there.

Owerri1stSon:


Igbos have more population than Yoruba... Forget Naija politrick census... Make your research also

bring proof lol

ImmaculateJOE:
Igbos are around 25%-30% of Nigeria's population..

Don't base you conclusion on the 5 SE states.. More than 10 million Igbos are residents out side SE and SS.. (There are up to 5millon Indeginous Igbos in Delta and Rivers State plus Igbo residents in other SS states.)

Check stats and don't make ambiguous claims.

2006 census gave us 18% but we are much bigger than that.

ChimaAdeoye:
Fulani boys in NL dishing out fake threads with fake data every day because they think every Nigerian is so gullible and lady to research anything.

You could have said Igbos were 79% of Nigerian army and 83% of Nigerian Navy. We will still believe you because we are all too lazy to verify anything told to us by a Fulani boy on NL.

Statists is more accurate than Wiki. And by the way, I ain't Fulani, I'm of Ibo origin and I like to factually confirm information. Anyway, just like you many Nigerians like to think they're wise but dumb in reality. Travel outside and see how normal people behave.

garfield1:


We are talking about army.someone already said 2 out of the 8 gocs in the army are igbos.you guys shout Fulani army as if majority of Nigerian soldiers are Fulanis meanwhile you guys outnumber fulanis in the army

Exactly

You did good research. I prefer these factual posts rather than tribal gossip we have here - Well done. However you seem to have lumped the South-south names along with the Igbo names.

There are a lot of Middle belt names that "seem' like Igbo names.

I can only identify 38 core Igbo names here

they're definitely more than 55 at least. I've lived in Nigeria a lot and know Igbo to a good extent. I didn't only identify the Igbo names I know the meanings but also the ones I've come across and the ones I can identify an Igbo ancestral phrase. Normally speaking, you many not think Obilor and Onoja are Igbo.

Faithful007:
Exactly

Please avail us with more data if possible

Lol, Obilor is delta Igbo or Anambra Igbo. Onoja is Igala ( usually given to people who had titled ancestors) However even with 38 we cannot really claim marginalization

Funny enough, I have an Igbo friend from enugu with the surname Onoja.

There has never been an actual or factual figure regarding Census in the Nigger Area.

There may even be more Ibibio people than Hausa but no one can for sure say...only quack numbers for political purposes

helinues:
That statistics must be from IBS ( Igbos Bureau of Statistics?

Bigot

No be human being like me and you write that yeye statistics? I know you are only looking for people will visit your blog, thank your stars, I've done that..

But know it that, that statistics is from Kaduna media house.

Hausa are the third largest population we have in the country, behind Igbo and Yoruba..

In the entire NE, it's only in Bauchi you will get real Hasua speakers..
They are mainly found in the NW where there are also many minority tribes.

But in SE and SW you will get 97% Igbos and Yorubas respectively.. In Igbo case you can count millions of migrants in other parts of the country.

OP is bad at math.

You dey mind those people..

Igbos and Yorubas are far more populated than Hausas.
