Where is the Gloom and Doom Promised to Igbos for Supporting GEJ? by Ofodirinwa: 3:16pm On Oct 15, 2015 |
It was preached at Igbo will and should in essence be punished for their non-support of APC. It was in fact propagated that GEJ's victory in the SE and SS would be met with total exclusion and was a sign of Igbo political miscalculation. Today the NNPC, Finance Ministry, and CBN are to be headed by Igbo persons. They will act to actualize (in their own words) the issues important to Igbo people such as the Petroleum Industry Bill, which will give greater reimbursement to oil producing community, which the majority of Igbo community fall under. I'm only disappointed by the lift of the import ban (which Igbos being the primary importers int he country, gain most from anyways), because of the fatal blow it'll deal indigenous manufactures (Which again Igbos are well represented, if not in the lead in). Is it time to stop obsessing over who's tribe wins the 'presidency'? Things aren't as black and white as we want them to be and our desire for such simplicity is more a sign of our laziness than our reality. 2 Likes |

I'm concerned with the fixing of the road from Owerri to PH, so that Owerri can boom again despite Okorocha's mismanagement and showbiz governance style, the actualization of the Ibaka sea port, and the finishing of the second Niger Bridge. I would like to see the Enugu airport treated as a true international airport with more direct flights, and patronage of manufactures. All of the appointment gist and this person is beefing this person drama is left for the clueless. 1 Like |

[size=14pt]I think it is better to be one. Igbos should just try not to be over bearing. Such makes others to react. Reactions that results from an over bearing actions make the Igbos feel they are hated. No, they are not hated. If Buhari decided not to give those positions, they will play the victims card. I remember Buhari told them when choosing the kitchen cabinet that he will not marginalize the Igbos in his later appointments. With this testimony from you, I am happy the man I doggedly campaigned and also voted into power is keeping on his words of not marginalizing any part of Nigeria. OP, thanks for pointing this out.[/size][size=8pt][/size] 2 Likes |

I'm not going to 'thank' anyone for not marginalizing the 48% of Nigeria that didn't vote for him, the same way I don't thank my friend for not shooting me. I president doesn't 'achieve' something by not subjugating others and I have higher expectations from him than appointments. The Nigerian state is weak. The military is weak, and it's the most under policed country in the world. Among those police are few and far examples of competence and efficency. So the idea that the Nigeria president actually has power outside of Abuja is laughable. In reality, nobody controls or 'rules' (as many of you like to say) Nigeria. The country in fundamentally lawless and people can and do do as they wish. This is shown by the fact that there are 2 genocides (middle belt, northeast) happening in the country and this level of lawlessness is so normal that people are focusing on Amaechi because it's boring otherwise. So I don't care who become the president because the president of Nigeria isn't in control of Nigeria. At most he can make his friends and colleagues rich as pass policies that will be taken away in the next administration as is always the case. Buhari as president doesn't have the power to subjugate or marginalize anyone. No Nigerian president has been coordinated and competent enough to do this, even as dictators, because they truly don't have command of the country. It's not up to Buhari if Igbos are marginalized or not. 1 Like |

Ofodirinwa: [size=14pt] Good to know that the cry of marginalization from the east over the years is self inflicted according to you. I read from you here that no President of Nigeria can marginalize the great people of the east, neither can any part of Nigeria do. I got this golden point. Bravo friend.[/size] 1 Like |

No need for specifics in a hypothetical, the point i'm making is the justice system in this country is trash from the police to the jail to the judges to the lawyers. A criminal is given 100 chances to pay his way out of a crime before he sees a court room and 100 more after. So controlling the state of nigeria doesn't make you necessarily powerful over the people in it because the state has no control of the people and it's self. You can't be ran over by a car with no engine. |

The way i see it, true political power is through education in Nigeria. Nobody will hire you without a degree, and you can't work in the civil service without one. A lot of the time politicians will stuff their whole uneducated village into different posts, but Buhari for example knows that he knows nobody of repute. So he is now stuffing his cabinet full of Igbo people. consider this. If more people are applying to take WAEC in Imo state than the whole of the Northwest, you'll have a situation when only 1 out of 10 people you can hire for something will be Igbo. Most of the time they ignore this and hire their kind but the doom that comes with it will follow. If Buhari had 100 educated people from Daura to chose from, he wouldn't hesitate to have a northern government from top to bottom as his 'body language' has shown. But today he knows he can't fail and he knows that he doesn't have the leeway to put his under-educated family members there so in comes igbo technocrats. These techocrats before the 'godfathers' senators, representatives, governors, and presidents of tomorrow. The north wants to dominate Nigeria because doesn't have the human capital to do this and therefore there isn't much to worry about because it all fall apart. I was contacted to be a part of a very corrupt deal between a northern politician and the government. He was going to use government money to build a private hospital and I was the only IT person he knew. When I looked at his entire staff it was 90% Igbo because all of the educated people he knew were Igbo, and they chose people under them that were igbo as well. He was going to 'run' the hospital through 1 northern proxy (his brother in law) that was uneducated, but in 10 years that 1 brother in law takes his 'loot' to the north and the other 127 igbo people take theirs to the east. If you see any government agency with less than 40% Igbo representation know it was a case of tribalism because statistics show that Igbos are close to 40% of Nigeria's educated population. |
