The North would have burnt down this country if the reverse was the case. Don't try to cover up injustice because it doesn't affect your region; it could be you complaining in the nearest future.

Well said.

What's worse is the SE who are renowned marginalization criers, effectively marginalized themselves by their sentimental and myopic political choices in the polls, otherwise they would have had some political muscle to change any perceived discrepancies.

Meaning for now, it's all just noise and hot-air.

In response to this thread earlier today,

I just want to correct the error the original writer posted. The mischief or whatever the writer is trying to achieve, portends great danger for Nigeria's fragile unity and threat to futher widen our already threatened fault lines.
The op is just trying to be mischievous, he is trying to
deceive those who don't understand how Civil service or
the customs work. He hammered on the "appointment"
of comptrollers. He is wrong in many ways.
Firstly, comptrollers (AREA ADMINISTRATORS) are
not apppinted. They are promoted. It is the highest
position a Nigerian customs officer can attain or
promoted to, based on merit. From the next positions
of ACG, DCG and CG are political appointments sort
of. They form the management team of the Nigeria
Customs Service. The position of DCGs, by principle of
federal character is spread among the 6 geo-polical
zones. The DCG positions are 6, the DCGs head the 6
departments of the NCS. That principle still obtains in
this Buhari's administration. The 6 Deputy comptroller
generals (DCGs) are picked (each from the 6 geo-polical
zones) go to customs.gov.ng and click on the
management team to clarify your doubts. I don't know
of any rule that says assistant comptroller generals (The
ACGs) must be drawn equally from the 6 geo-polical
zone. If there is any, you can share with me.
No government comes to power and retire all the
comptrollers and appoints new ones because they are
never appointed in the first place. they got to that
position via promotion based on merit. It is technical
and logical truism that any region that has the most
number of qualified DCs (DEPUTY COMPTROLLERs)
stands a chance to have the most nunber of comptrollers.
A lot of factors may inform or affect one's career climb,
these include, years of service, age, outstanding
achievements that may warrant rapid or double
promotion, querry that may lead to demotion or halt in
promotion for a number of years, retirement etc. It
should also be noted here that it is not the case that all
the region gets equal number of officers recruited on an
annual basis. All these factors may lead to a lopsided
number of high ranking officers qualified for promotion
to the highest cadre over the years even if there is an
equal number of recruited officers from the 6 geo-polical
zones as at the time of entering the service. This
lopsided "situation" could be to the benefit of ANY geo-
polical zone.
The op is just being mischievous. There is no
marginalization anywhere.

Why not counter the OP with facts like he has done, instead of shouting 'trash' and digging into your bag of emotional blackmail.

What fact did the op bring? How do you reconcile with the fact that merit is actually used? How? In which country will NE has more representation using merit? You guys should start making a bold statement on the quoter system let it be abolished! Any post should have a test for the appointment!
Let the best emerge and take it! If this should be inculcated in every sphere of nigeria! Then I won't complain! The injustice is very glaring!!
