Those boys that came to play for Nigeria are they employed by the federal government?
In the capacity that they're representing the federal government of Nigeria, yes.

A lot of Yoruba's don't care about the existence of Nigeria, most don't care if Nigeria exist or not,forget about all the foolish one's in this politics section.

One Nigeria is a scam,you will hardly hear buhari speaking about the welfare of the Nigerian people,but will always talk about the unity of Nigeria

They say the dominance of the Igbo in the national team is what brought success, and they were all based on merit. If that is the case, the dominance of others in other fields is what would make success and are based on merit.
.
Your idea of merit is dominance.
.
Today you'll oppose federal character, quota system, etc. and tomorrow you're seen advocating it, just like Kanu is for one Nigeria during Jonathan but a secessionist during Buhari.
Finally you manage to show face grin weldone.
Your claim about Igbo dominance in the national team is null and void because admittance into the national team is base on merit, not quota system. Sporting activities are strictly based on talent and merit, thus not on the same padestral with politics and govt administration.
The question you should be asking is; is Federal character same with quota system? Federal character is the equitable distribution of govt appointments and positions among ethnic groups in a country to prevent unfair domination. This system is good for multi ethnic countries to prevent one tribe dominating govt positions at the expense of others. Quota system on the other hand is the mass distribution of govt slots and positions to particular set of people whether they are qualified for it or not. Now if govt distributes certain positions to a particular region, it is up to the govt to make sure that those to be appointed are qualified, otherwise it will be just another case of quota system. A situation we have seen too many times in this country.

This your post in itself is nepotistic. It won't go anywhere as it is selective, full of sentiments, and is lacking in research etiquette. Those people will consider it, maybe when you change your name to Nnamdi.
What is selective about this thread? Is nepotism not the order of the day in Nigeria? Look at Abuja for example, how many southerners were appointed substansive ministers of Abuja? None. Yet we have northerners heading NPA, Customs, NNPC. Is there a law in the constitution baning an Obi or Afolabi from heading the ministry of the federal capital territory?

Well, those who are conversant with Nigerian football would agree that you're a novice. This is a place whdry Westerhof said players do give as much as $15,000 to be included in the national team.
If this is alleged to be happening there, as with many facets of Nigerian life, I wouldn't be convinced by a nairalander, who is known to support his tribe in all, that the dominance of the Igbo was on merit.
.
We've taken it as Nigeria's victory, but when you have representatives of Nnamdi Kanu telling us only they are the best, it is a nationalistic duty to tell them they're being bigoted as things could not be the way they're making it up.

That is not employment as the coach is at liberty to call up anyone he chooses,those boys are working and making their living abroad and after their engagement they go back to their various clubs so you can't compare it to appointment in federal agencies.

The North is your sport. Obj was there for 8 years, Jonathan was for 5 - 6 years, and they had it so smooth. It was not a crime if they appoint anybody from any region, but for this man who's barely two years, his must be scrutinized.

Stop diverting to Nigerians football and address the question. Why the nepotism in appointment of ministers in the federal capital territory?

Which is why I ask, is there a written law in the constitution that made it impossible for OBJ and GEJ (both southerners) to appoint Abuja ministers from the south?

Same situation pasist in Nigerian customs where a particular region of Nigeria held sway.

Brigadier General Samuel Ango from the Nigerian Army was appointed Comptroller General of Nigeria Customs Service by former Head of State, late General Sani Abacha in 1994 from the Nigerian Army.

**Dr. Haliru Mohammed Bello was appointed Comptroller General of Customs from outside the service in 1988 by the military regime of former military president, General Ibrahim Babangida He is a veterinary doctor by profession. He was comptroller general of customs from 1988 to 1994.

**late Shehu Musa was appointed Comptroller General of Customs from the civil service in the 1970s. He was also the Secretary to the Government of the federation during the Shehu Shagari’s presidency.

Well, a Danite is here.
Nigeria obviously has problems. Our contention at DAN is that tribal hatred (ala NK), bigotry, and secession are not the answers. People will still seceed from Biafra for the same reasons. People will keep seceeding till they are back to their traditional villages.
Here is something I wtote earlier:
I agree with u. The current system does not suit a country like Nigeria and should be changed. But secession is not the answer at all. You are also right that Nigeria (Babangida, etc) copied what they thought was the US system, without copying the underlying mechanics that actually make the system work.
As for Northern resources, it is Igbos that have the acumen to move in and monetize them. That's why one Nigeria favors Igbos as much as, if not more.than any.other tribe.
Oh, in situstions where resources like oil is involved, the answer is no, there has to be war. See, if they let Igbos go, they have to ley the Delta and their oil go also, and that's a no.no

Im most gratified when i see posts like this. Our Yoruba people only claim useless sophistication, but a lot of them are just mentally slavish, dumb or just too foolish to understand the type of mess they're actually in, in a so called country, Nigeria as presently constituted. Thats exactly why....

Well I read somewhere Igbos own.some 70% of.private buildings in the same FTC u are talking about. How do u explain that? Who gave them the permits? My aim is not to explain but to put it into discussion. That will lead to a solution. My running away by.seceeding will not.
