I don't really understand these sorts of baseless ethnic or rather myopic criticism.

The Service Chiefs, as presently appointed are done to every extent; with National interest

I particularly hail President Buhari for appointment a thorough professional and disciplined soldier (Gen Buratai) as the Army 'Chief'.

His days at code Sector 2 (Pulo Shield) a-la 2nd brigade as Commander and his pristine records is glaring.

Amongst others, these present service chiefs were all appointed on merit.

But it's ok for another ibo man to replace another as super eagle's coach?

Ibos are the most tribalistic animals out there.

Gravanno:


You don't have to stress yourself reasoning with these neanderthals. When Sunday Olise replaced Stephen Keshi we didn't see them wailing. They Can keep crying for all I care.

I pray they have their Biafra before December, I can't imagine any more agony than having to live with these cancerous growths.

But sometimes people should be consistent with their claims and what they want.
On one hand, their is this call for cessation. People wanting to leave Nigeria and form their own country called Biafra. The next minute this same people complain at the slightest opportunity to register their displeasure about not being carried along within the appointees of the Nigerian government - a country they so much desire to leave.

On one hand they claim Biafra encompasses the whole of SS and SE. While the veracity of that claim is subject of another debate, one would think they will at least be pacificed that "one of their sons" Rear Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas who hails from Cross River State is now the new the new Chief of Naval Staff - appointed by president Buhari.
But what do we have, this same people now complain yet again that they are yet again marginalised by Nigera. This cast serious shadows of doubt about the sincerity of those saying SS should join the Biafra bandwagon. It is of course left to the people of SS to determine which way is best for them.

They claim they developed Lagos and so deserve to have a good representation in the Lagos government. But when we point out their son within the cabinet of the government of Lagos, they yet again claim Igbokwe does not represent the interest of Ndigbo in Lagos. The question I keep asking is, is it until the Obi or Nnamdi Kanu is appointed by Lagos or FG that they'll be pacified?

I am definitely not in the business of advising people and it is certainly not my business, but I guess for any group to be taken seriously, they need to be consistent with what they want/claim.

They should take a lesson from man they so much hate with passion - Jagaban Tinubu- who refused to join the ruling party from inception and now his consistency has paid off for him. If history is anything to go by as a pointer, I bet by 2018, we will see some people from SE calling for Buhari to continue as the life president. Just as we saw with Abacha, OBJ and GEJ

Jorussia:
The Igbo nation is indeed unfairly marginalized by the Nigeria state,as regards federal appointments.

The Yoruba nation yesterday reviewed the lopsidedness in elective positions and appointments made at the federal level, and concluded that the region has been shortchanged.

Speaking under the aegis of Yoruba Unity Forum (YUF) in a press conference addressed by former Secretary to the Federal Government (SFG), Chief Olu Falae, the forum remarked that President Goodluck Jonathan has been unfair to the region in the sharing of federal offices.

The conference, which had the Vice-Chairman of the forum, Rev. Bolanle Gbonigi, in attendance, tasked Jonathan to consider the interest of the region in any other top federal appointments.

According to the group, the Yoruba people are being systemically shortchanged in the distribution of entitlements under the Jonathan administration and thus being deprived of their rights to equality of treatment.

The group asserted that the complaints about the systematic marginalisation of the Yoruba nation cannot be equated by Jonathan to the usual cries of marginalisation from all geo-political zones.

The group, which backed the Yoruba nation’s complaints with annexture lamented that no Yoruba indigene was ranked in the 12 topmost positions that constitute the apex of the political power hierarchy in the country.

“Thus, the absence of any Yoruba at the top of the political hierarchy has consequential effect on the Yorubas in respect of appointments and job security throughout the federal service,” they argued.

The group noted that all the 12 positions listed at the apex of the power hierarchy are elective, “hence the president could have filled at least one of the purely appointive ones with a Yoruba of his choice to accommodate the federal character principle.”

The group reminded that the Yoruba votes at the 2011 presidential poll, more than any other part of the country gave the Jonathan election credibility and universal acceptability.

This tends to suggest that Igbo are not considered worthy of being entrusted with military power, or trusted by Nige­ria’s leaders, past and present.
