For the UNESCO, “marginalization occurs when people are systematically excluded from meaningful participation in economic, social, political, cultural and other forms of human activity in their communities and thus are denied the opportunity to fulfil themselves as human beings.”

Ike Ekweremmadu from Enugu State is the Chairman of constitutional amendment committee for the past 10 years till date yet he couldn't lobby his members to include Referendum in the constitution.

Emeka Ihedioha from Imo State was the Co-Chairman of constitutional amendment committee yet he couldn't lobby his members to include Referendum.

Morons making excuses for them will foolishly tell you that Hausa-Fulani did not support them yet:

Ihedioha manipulated his ruling party PDP and conspired with opposition ACN to become deputy speaker to Hausa man

Ike Ekweremmadu manipulated the ruling APC and conspired with some northerners to become the Deputy Senate President.

Maybe Ndigbo know how to lobby Hausa Fulani when it comes to personal and selfish interest but will label them unapproachable when it comes to our collective interest.

Solution to your problem is within you. Keep blaming every other tribes for your problems and exonerate the crooks you elected to represent you.

Go and study how to lobby in a democracy and stop glorifying idiocy through senseless utterances

Okokobioko is your anchor man
Stay tuned
[9/14, 8:51 PM] ‪+234 806 291 6213‬: The claims that Igbos are enslaved and marginalised in Nigeria is a big lie. The person with the sole right to import kiwi polish into Nigeria is an igbo man based in Onitsha. He is the sole importer of kiwi shoe polish the whole Nigeria uses. The sole importer of Bama mayonnaise into Nigeria from the U.S. is Peter Obi. The whole Nigeria use Bama mayonnaise. Orji Uzor Kalu imports more than 40 products into Nigeria. Cosmas Maduka has the sole dealership for BMW in Nigeria. He also has Ford Motors dealership and is also the sole dealer of certain medical equipment. Igbos solely own over 70% of imported products used by all Nigerians imported through the ports of their choice. None of those ports exist in igboland.

In the civil service, Imo state is the highest with more than 5,000 civil servants. Zamfara doesn't have up to 900. Most houses in Abuja are owned by igbos including estates and hotels. Bolingo hotel, Rockview hotels are some of the five star hotels in Abuja owned by Igbos and countless other 3 star hotels. Igbos have more stake in the Centenary city Abuja than other 5 geopolitical zones. Igbos dominate all the building materials market in Abuja. The land area owned by Igbos outside the South East is more than the 29,500sqkm of the entire landmass of the east. What more can Nigeria and Nigerians who are not Igbos do? It's only an ungrateful greedy person who worship money and materialism with no respect for other people that will want to have it all.

• Please Read What Former Chief of Army Staff, RTD MAJOR GENERAL IHEJIRIKA Wrote On His FACEBOOK Wall:

FOOLISH IS NOT IGBO!!!
For 6 years our own occupied the offices of Deputy Senate President, Deputy Speaker, SGF, Minister of Finance /Coordinating Minister of the Nigerian Economy, Ministers of Health, Aviation, Labour, Petroleum (by Marriage), Chief of Army Staff etc. yet nobody complained that the Igbos got too much of the Federal Power rations neither did your highly placed brethren improve your lot in terms of development!
Other ethnic groups watched carefully and played their politics towards national relevance while we the Igbos got carried away and played politics of the pocket where semi-illiterate money bags charted the cause for us!

Those who have access to Aso Rock and got fat contracts sustained the lies to hoodwink both Aso Rock gods and the Igbos. In blind response devoid of any logical reasonings the Igbos put all their fragile eggs in one basket that had lost form and shape to protect them.

As the results of those fatal errors set in the same money miss roads are now fanning the ambers of secession as their next meal ticket bargaining chip while the teaming youth they lure with money and lies risk losing everything including their lives for nothing in the end.

Compare the Igbo TAN money bags and/or failed politicians to the likes of Aliko Dangote, Mike Adenuga, Femi Otedola who are hardly seen or heard playing partisan talk less of ethno-religious politics!

Imagine Dangote gathering the leaders of Northerners in Lagos and imposing political party or candidate in Lagos State politics on them. Such is near impossible!
The Igbos have allowed derogatory pocket politics to puncture their natural nobility as a people!

With men of honour and class like Ebitu Ukaiwe, Emeka Anyaoku, Ndubisi Kanu, Ben Nwabueze and others, the Igbos should have no business listening to the likes of Ifeanyi Uba (Capital Oil), Chris Uba etc. any time they talk politics!

Foolish is not IGBO!!!

Nairalanders let's have some healthy debate on this matter. Healthy debate takes the heat out of a heated polity as Nigeria presently is due to IPOB moves. It also helps misdirected folks see better in a manner that has dignity intact.
