Most of you guys on nairaland politics section are so infantile in your reasoning and many of your posts betray sound use of logic, I hope Seun and those Mods in charge of this politics section know that there is an Emergency in Nairaland politics section. This online space has turned to an online beer palour where people vomit thrash and revel in stupid ethnic sentiments instead of addressing the merit of issues. Nairaland Politics was not like this when I started visiting in 2006! Moderators! Please do something on time.

You can as well list out the entire super eagles squad. grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin
kindabigg:

Most of the players in the SE are not core igbos, majority are deltans and from rivers.

Victor Moses, Juwon Oshaniwa, Raheem Lawal(Yoruba). Nosa Igiebor, Efe Ambrose, Fegor Ogude, Reuben Gabriel & Brown Ideye(Edo). Ahmed Musa(Hausa).

Keshi just loves his Delta people. Those players are not the best Nigeria has to off but they have done well.

This is what generates internet traffic for a website designed for Nigerians. Are you expecting serious intellectual discourse?

Prof Corruption:

So where is the figure that Ihejirika used to conduct the promotion?
It has nothing to do with Igbo per say but everything with Ihejirika. He lacks strength of character. This is the sort of action that a perverted individual takes but would later haunt the entire race. Action and reaction are not equal in human relations and by the time the present clueless administration is gone, the next president may simply retire some of these folks that are being unjustly promoted.
I understand what you're saying. There could be a case of nepotism here but that is not the point. Let's put it like this;

20 igbo generals ruling as bosses in the army
20 hausa Lt cols second in position to this Generals

when the generals retire, we would see the case of 20 Hausa general in top position

and guess what?
nobody will complain or convene for such an irrelevant matter.

Must the north always drag everybody back?

Federal character must certainly give way for merit, to enable the country make progress.

Northerners should be thankful to the SE, because even the fake population they count on, normally have above 10% Igbos which means they should also be giving more than 10% of their so called federal character quota to SE.

AK 48: have u ever asked yourself why the progressive super eagles is filled with igbos?

Do u think the super eagles wud av gone far if quota was used as a selection tool?

Why didnt they complain abt the igbo domination of super eagle?

Whoever is fit academicaly n otherwise should b promoted
Ode osi! The 1994 set of supereagles is the best set of eagles ever assembled together, and also the best in Africa at any point in time. Yet this set of eagles was å fine blend of players from all the regions of the country.

pro01: Nigeria has never been, and probably would never be, a nation in the real sense of the term. We're just deceiving ourselves. Since blind loyalty to one's ethnic group is a bigger priority than the collective interest, we might as well embrace a loose confederation (with regional armed forces) and retain the Nigerian identity merely for ceremonial reasons.
Well said. These gworo chewing charlatans are jokers. South East Senators too should meet over Hausa domination in NNPC and Customs. bloody Hypocrites

HAH: This the reason the army refused making Igbo chief of army since 1966, ironsi became COAS and it led to the first coup in Nigeria and it led to first mutiny as well.

Igbos that are still thinking about Biafra, don't trust them in anything government.
Idio.t.s like you deserve to be nuked by NATO bombs. So when the north had all the army chiefs and filled the rank and file of the army with illiterate aboki officers, it was good. But now an Igboman is occupying the position, your use.le.ss aboki senator brothers want to have midnite meeting because of it? Mgbo gbaposikwaa unu anya there. Infidels.

after my secondary school days, i wanted to join d army but a friend said to me "except u r of northern origin, dont waste ur tym" i really tuk dis serious because av neva seen an igbo military officer, most of d military men dat av seen r frm d north and dey dont speak english. so i proceded to the university. The present COAS is a big surprise to me, being of d igbo tribe. The past COASs av neva been frm d SE, and d northerners av held dis position for ova 40yrs, so y r they screeming BLUE MURDER?

The igbos still dominated the 1994 set of Super Eagles, the two greatest Nigerian footballers, Okocha and Kanu are igbos so what are you saying. Mind you, it is too early to call the 1994 eagles the best ever. If the present eagles win the cup they would be considered better by many cool

The highlighted is true. But you must realize that Ihejirika ll not be there forever. Another man tomorrow might just pack Northern generals there and because someone has done it before in the name of "merit", there would be no basis to question such a move. A merit that is not defined is nothing short of nepotism.

I personally hate the Federal Character quota system. But the history of Nigerian army, which was once more or less a Northern Nigeria army, pleads caution. If we want to get rid of it, let us do it in a most transparent way. Get the law repealed (constitution amended) and then clearly define what qualifies someone for a promotion. I am sure if we have such a system, there would be less noise now.

Many people are naive when it comes to the issue of southern Nigeria.With no apology or tribalism the Yorubas are culpable of this.I have met many of them that thinks everyone from Edo and Delta are Igbo.Even some people from the south are still naive when it comes to Rivers and Bayelsa.They think everybody from these two states are Ijaws

HAH:

Bigot for your information all appointment in govt must follow the federal character constitutionally and it is wrong for one part to dominate others

I have worked closely with the nigerian army and believe me Igbo are among the minority not because they are not recruited but because they want to make money quickly and in the military you must pay your due

One thing I notice about this Jonathan government is the deliberate marginalization of the south west in every sector, it seems the highest office holder from south west is the minister of Agriculture

And the reason why must people see the north as dominating is because the north sees itself as one but in the south everyone Identifies with his tribe and there is nothing like one south that is why jonathan will marginalise the Yorubas.
