Since we are all crying foul about nothernazation of our current political atmosphere especially with the wailing coming mostly from a particular region of the country ... We should also talk about the current igbonization of our football and perhaps may be everything..

Has anyone noticed the number of Igbos in the current under 17 that won the world cup in Chile? I mean seriously? Not even a single northerner was present in that team ... Are we saying we don't have under 17 boys good enough from north to be on that team ? I mean out of over 90 million people?


How come no one is asking for amunekes (Igbo) head for selecting over 70% igbos into a team but want to kill buhari for selecting capable northerners to run his givernment ? What is the difference btw amuneke and buhari in this context ...


What would the Igbo or southerner say if the coach of golden eaglet is one garba musa and used over 90% northerners in his team? I'm sure the igbos would be the first to shout marginalization and ewu Hausa is dominating everything and started asking for Biafra ..

Don't you guy think its absolute hypocrisy to think that its okay to dominate when it favors you when you dominate and cry foul when it doesn't ?

go sleep jare
you no happy as the Igbo's bring the cup to Nigeria

Who won pursue their cow for them? Northern under17 wey dey busy for bush with his cow na him u won call make he come play ball for u? Even if they come, they go insist on traveling to chile with their dager!

Una sef wan start una own.

how is it buharis fault that he chose mostly northerners when he knew Igbos will be busy focusing on his business whenever you used them as ministers ? Or using the post to pursue self interest ..

Barth nnaji comes to mind ... Using the post of power minister to build for himself a power plant ...

So na true say Aabbookkii na Aabbookkii

have not yet to see any positive results since the northern parts took over

Norherners are yet to bring the cup in politics the way igbos have been bringing the cup in football. If they start delivering the political cup to all nigerians, all complaints will die naturally.

i have seen the positive result. Besides, give aboki the same 14 yeard southerners used ...

lemme ask ifa

The problem with every major ethnic group of Nigeria is that marginalization is Ok so long it is done by them. They would praise their Kin's for doing such. As you can see with this thread, It is evidence they are happy.

exactly...

Its okay to have one Nigeria when azikwe destroyed regional government and put Igbo's in every key position in country but it becomes a taboo when northerners hijacked it to feed fat on Nigeria ...

The same people shouting igbos brought home the cup would be the first to shout marginalization if northerners hijacked Nigerian football and start bringing home the cup ...


My own point is, I really don't care who or what is in whatever position as long as you are doing great ...I'm cool ...

Go and read up on Geometric Power Coy and how the plant was funded then come back here and help yourself to a huge slice of humble pie....you fool!

my dear everybody knw that u cant talk abt excellence in nigeria without 1st talking abt the igbos...we hv technocrates everywhr, we r jst good. Talk abt money and the economy in nigeria, tomorrow buhari will assign portfolio to his ministers and yet again he is set to use Okechukwu as his finance minister. Why we always talk abt marginilizations is that we hv specialists in all areas(bests) so wen u leave the best and go for better, definetly pple will complain.

Secede

lolz.. Jesus, can somebody listen to dis girl/boy! Can u pls humbly count frm 1960 to 2015 and humbly again remove the numba of yrs northern mess up this country? And still noting to show for it. Hunger, diseases like leprosy, polio and all forms of backwardnes is still eminent in northern nigeria. I wip for u guys, go to gombe by-pass and see children numbering up to thousands scampering for left over foods @ restuarants there. Poverty, illeteracy and so on. My dear northern nigeria has rule more then 80per of nigeria life span

military rule combines every tribe and religion ... Go and check regime of every past military ruler and those that make government... Blaming it only northerners alone is just being mischievous...

As cruel as abacha government was, IBOs were part of his government.

Igbos are goal getter . Football is by merit mostly .igbos sabi play football. Even westerhof who selected the best team ever is a white and that team is dominated by igbos or old eastern nigeria . If other positions is by merit like soccer , igbos will dominate . U can see where there less govt quoata ibos dominate like in trading and business ,education, movie industries , soccer , just only in govt appointments where igbs llack due to the fact that power has eluded them due to nigeria political dynasim was skewed agianst the igbos post civil war

please o,name the southerners that ruled nigeria for 16 years or abi northerners that destroyed nigeria for 46 years plus in the name of leadership by birthright.
Well, who also told u that northerners are been marginalized in football?
Actually, what happened here is that,ur people dont have enough football talents as it is in the south region.
Those players that played 4 nigeria were the best players that were screened 4rm the thousands of footballers nationwide*all regions*
so chill the hell out b4 u set nairaland on fire.

You are a hypocritical liar. I guess that you are a kid also.

Northerners have ruled this country for more than 25 years. Even this your PMB is among the past rulers that bastardised this country. So IBB, shagari, Buhari, Gowon, murtala, abacha, abdusalami, etc are southerners.

Anyway stop saying southerners. SAY YOURUBAS AND NORTHERNERS. THE YORUBAS HAVE RULED FOR MORE THAN 10 YEARS.


OF COURSE YOU CANNOT BLAME IGBOS FOR THE LEADERSHIP WOES IN NIGERIA.

HAVE IGBOS RULED NIGERIA? Do not even mention figure head Zik.

My friend go and read you primary school social studies again and stop dodging classes.
