Northerners always wanted to take charge of the military

Always wanted to?! Lol!

The North practically runs every top and sensitive organization in Nigeria!

They also have the numbers in the rank and file of most key government agencies.

Marvieduke:
The rate at which this northerners misbehave baffles me sometime. Imagine trying to take Lagos slot as if it is their land.

They do it in every state. That's why in every government parastatal they are always in the majority

How is this a testament to transparency when the news had to go viral before they were arrested? How many others in times past have slipped through or are we expected to believe these six are the first to go through that route??

Wait o, someone born and raised in another state is not indigene of that state but the one born in America or any western country is a citizen, where shall we go from here?

This is what's tearing us apart?

It's sad.

if na igbos do this now, the country would have been on fire

Mitsurugi:
Nonsense! Na today? No be so Northerners take full Army, Navy, Air-Force, Immigration, FIRS, CBN, EFCC, NIMASA, Customs, NNPC and every parastatal regardless of competence.

Nobody should quote me because my profession has taken me across these bodies and agencies. You'll see them seated, doing nothing while their Southern counterparts do all the work.

Na today?

Fury as Southerners "take over" Northerners' slots in N-Power shortlist — Daily Nigerian
November 23, 2016

By Adnan Tudunwada
Controversy has trailed the release of the list of the beneficiaries of federal government’s job creation program, N-Power, after names perceived to be those of Southerners appeared on the shortlist of some Northern states.

The N-power is a federal government’s programme designed to drastically reduce number of unemployed graduates and provide qualified manpower in basic education, agriculture and healthcare sectors.

But some activists in the North faulted the shortlist of the 200,000 successful candidates, believing that it was doctored to favour Southerners.

The activists argued that in Kano, Jigawa, Sokoto, Borno, Zamfara, Yobe, among other states of the North, some “strange names” are replete in the list.

In Abadam Local Government Area of Borno State, some residents cried that there was a higher number of non-Indigenes than indigenes of the local government.

A youth activist, Nasir Suleiman, said natives of Abadam, a Kanuri dominated area with Fulani and Buduma people minorities, were out-numbered by non Indigenes.

“Names like Josephine Adebayo, Olywaseyi Oye, Ibe Ije, Adebisi Lawrence, Jude Okorie and Ilemiri Godson are examples of names that dominated the list of Abadam Local Government in the N-power programme,” he added.

A native of Abadam, Malam Abuy Akhuwa argued that “nowhere in Abadam one can see persons named Olywaseyi Oye, Ibe Ije, Adebisi Lawrence, Jude Okorie, etc. But these are the names we saw representing us. No! It is impossible.”

Another youth activist, Kabiru Haruna said in Bagwai Local Government of Kano State, previous reports indicated low number of application from the natives of the local government, but suddenly “some strange names” sprouted from the local government.

He added that in Kano Municipal, with its population of over 1 million, only 373 applied but more than 30% of those selected are said to be non-Indigenes.

“It will be very hard for Kano Municipal Local Government to have an Igbo or Yoruba Indigine. You can’t have a similar treatment in Imo or Bayelsa. In the whole Imo, there was not more than two Hausa people that were selected but in Jigawa alone more than a 100 non-indigenes have occupied the space of indigenes,” he added.

A Kano based lawyer, Barrister Abubakar Mujahid, said nobody will raise alarm if there was equilibrium in the distribution of the names of Northerners in the Southern states. “But one could not find a similar inclusion of Northerners in any Southern States,” he lamented.

Responding to Daily Nigerian enquiry on the matter, Laolu Akande, the spokesman of the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo said there was no cause for alarm as applicants were selected based on their place of residence not state of origin.

if na igbos do this now, the country would have been on fire

What will make the country to be on fire is that Igbos will claim victimisation if they arrest them the way these Hausa guys were arrested.

Mitsurugi:



They do it in every state. That's why in every government parastatal they are always in the majority

They are so uncultured. I thank God am not from that region.

Ulunne777:
First find out the Colonel Gambo who issued them Oshodi Indigenship certificate in connivance with the LCDA chairman .

Btw , I thank God they aren't Igbo e for be another Internet buzzer.

My brother, if it were to be Igbos, the entire yorubas would have gone gaga and insulted the entire lineage of igbos till end of 2024

90% of the yoruba's claiming to be Lagos indigenes are not from Lagos , for example MC oluomo is from kwara state

Princedapace:


My brother, if it were to be Igbos, the entire yorubas would have gone gaga and insulted the entire lineage of igbos till end of 2024

Because you guys would have seen it as an act of victimisation. How many Hausas did you see crying about the arrest of their kinsmen so far?

Igbos would have turned the whole thing to tribal witch hunting and cry of victimisation.

spiSeyi:
Good riddance by Gen. Lag aka this can't happen during PMB erra . PBAT knew what he was doing when he said"Yoruba lokan" , Northerners have had enough share of power in this country, and SS and SE through GEJ
GEJ installed mostly Igbos and Niger-Deltans, PMB installed mostly Northerners, and when PBAT installed his tribesmen some hippocrytes will be wailing

This nonsense can't give u something to chop today neither can it balance ur empty bank account

How did they get indegeneship, which baale and family head signed the local government form

Ulunne777:

Igbos don't really fancy that job. Even the military said the South East doesn't fill up their regional slots.

Northerners with their obsession with NA

It is a strategy. Thats why if the south decided to go to war with the North. We the South are sitting ducks.....
Why do you think all the Military headquarters are in the North? The majority of our firepowers are in the North.
The quota system was introduced so that the North can be educated, like the Southerners. But still, they ain't that educated. Why do you think they adhered to politics like a magnet?
Without the Southern Nigeria. The Northern Nigeria will be like Somalia, Congo, Burkina faso ,Mali, Chad and Niger Republic.....

That is great, all this madness has to stop.
Each ethnic group and state must be represented in the national security.
National security is not meant for just one ethic group.

Not every ethnic group is really interested in being represented in Nigeria national security. Those who want to send their children to die prematurely in the battle with insurgents while the generals cash out big time due to massive corruption should go ahead sending their children to their early graves.

Mitsurugi:



They do it in every state. That's why in every government parastatal they are always in the majority

Every slot for fed govt training abroad in NIMASA in states are mostly given to northerners.
They will hide the advertisement and do partial airing so the indigenes won't know and the next thing is, people from gombe,Kaduna,borno will fill the slots.
Go to maritime academy in Oron that should be 70-30 in favor of the south and see things like "Gombe entourage". They will just pack them in buses and bundle them down.

Onboard ship,they are all officers while southerners grapple with lower positions.
NIMASA that oughtta be headed and run by majority southerners who own the coasts and seas is headed and run mostly by alhajis and mallams.
An abboki kilishi seller can easily access the NIMASA facility more than a seaman in certain NIMASA office..

Nairaland you are too slow in reporting news

Na wetin dem don dey do since independence na. Na why northern people full all the security units.
The Nigeria Immigration Services (Passport office) in Lagos full of Northern people.
EFCC na northerners dey there
Customs like 95% representation
Police like 70%
Army 80%
Navy 85%
Air force 80%
DSS 75%
ICPC
NSCDC

Who told you lagosians need the NA slots? NURTW slots don full?

iwaeda:

Normal now, popular story of man claiming Niger, but from Ogbomosho. This show one thing, MOST indigenous Lagosians are LAZY, looking for cheap money, owomida. In actual sensense, how many of the people ruling Lagos are truly from LAGOS.

Indigenous lagosian are lazy you say, but you are hardworking right? How many indigenous lagosian have you meet to arrive at your conclusion?
