Oduah’s recent appointments in such agencies have provoked allegations of “ethnic cleansing”. At the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, Oduah sacked eight General Managers, GMs. Six of them hail from the Southwest, while two are from the North.

Those affected by the weeding process are Solanke Gideon Akintunde, GM, Facilitation; Mrs. Ayeni Folashade Olufemi, acting GM, Internal Audit; Mr. Komolafe Samuel, GM, Commercial; Mr. Oyedepo Adeyemi Biodun, GM, Mechanical; Mr. Adefarasin Adeoye Emmanuel, GM Stores; Mr. Tanko Idris, GM, Management Services; Alhaji Maltala Iliyasu, GM, Finance; and Mr. Bello Olu Kayode, acting GM, Internal Audit. The minister also redeployed six senior staff– four GMs and two Regional Managers–and appointed 75 new staff in the agency.

Forty of the new appointees are from the South-East. The minister hails from Anambra State.

Throwback:
That's the Azikiwe way of meritocracy.

The 1960 government of Tafawa Balewa / Azikiwe comes to mind. Since the North could not fill most positions due to educational handicap, Azikiwe ensured the bulk of it went to his Igbo brothers in the NCNC, while the crumbs were left for the Western NCNC and Eastern minorities.


In fact, some federal positions were dedicated Igbo portfolios and in some cases where changes needed to be made, the position passed on to a succession of Igbos only.


When Igbo's lament about marginalization or meritocracy, it is because they miss their tribal exploits in the 1960s, when merit meant Igbo, regardless of who was more qualified.

You come across as one sad, embittered, Igbo-hating bigot!

Your obsession with anything Igbo is alarming to say the least! There's just no joy in your life!

Since the late 60s, you Igbo-hating 'one Nigerianists' have had ample opportunity to show Igbos how governance should be done and how to make Nigeria a fair and equitable society, but where is Nigeria today? Nigeria has now become the basket case of Africa and a giant with feet of clay!

It's clear to everyone except throwback that Buhari is the most bigoted and divisive leader Nigeria has ever had since independence, but you won't find throwback tackling about his inefficient and toxic leadership! Oh no! Rather, it's Igbos that are his problem!

Cheers!

You want Ibo to talk about his inner demons without emotion. I will wait to see that day.

Bros, abeg which kind weed you dey smoke?

wowcatty:
These have always been known facts, and you forgot how Igbos killed our leaders and spared their own and will still kill more Yoruba if they smell Asorock.

BabaRamota1980:
Ethnic cleansing can take many forms.

This is one demonstration of what Ibo have always done when placed at the top of the food chain. They clean other ethnic groups out.

An Ibo President is unacceptable.

That you cannot stomach your history is not my problem.

How I come across to you is irrelevant to the facts that history reminds us.


Even I will be ashamed of all the factual and historic tribalism exhibited and perpetrated by the Azikiwe gang in the 1960 independence government, over federal positions that should not have been the exclusive preserve of a gluttonous tribe.

And I'm sure that the details of the topic showed that as it was done by the Igbos in the 1960s, so was it in the very recent Jonathan era by the Igbos.

We will talk about it, without regard to your emotional frailty.

No need for the fear mongering.

They cannot kill anybody, that wild demonic spirit of theirs that saw no wrong in ending the lives of others, while still celebrating the killings amongst the natives whose leaders and brightest prospects they killed, has been exorcised from their body.

Did you ever hear of Igbos associating with coups again since January 1966?


Even that coup that they celebrated all over the North and gloating like suicidal fools, they have since denied it claiming that it was a national coup because they had 1 deceived Yoruba Major out of 8 to 9 Igbo Majors, and Major Hassan Katsina was held at gun point by Major Nzeogwu during the coup execution to state what side he belongs to, and he smartly replied he was with Nzeogwu, that made it a national coup.

They now even deny Nzeogwu all together claiming he was MidWest Igbo, so it was not an Igbo coup. As if it was Nzeogwu that killed Largema and Maimalari in Lagos, or Akintola in Ibadan.


Of course they also don't forget to mention a litany of low rank Northern foot soldiers whom Nzeogwu never told what mission they were training for. In fact, the Yoruba soldier who opposed him when their mission was disclosed to them, was killed right there on the spot.

You keep on harping on about facts! Is it facts as cherry-picked and narrated by the likes of you and you bigoted ilk? Gimme a break abeg!

I know the history of Ndigbo quite alright, and given the challenges we've face as a people, it's one i'm mighty pleased with if i don't mind saying so myself!

Your pain seems to derive from the fact that Igbos held prominent positions in gov't in the 60s (b/4 the uncivil war) and during the GEJ regime! I can empathise with you knowing how much you despise us!

Since you claim to be a creature of 'facts' maybe you'd have noticed there's a distinct difference on the one hand, in the social and economic fortunes of Nigeria when you claim the 'gluttonous' Igbos coveted certain federal positions; and on the other, when you had succeeded in wresting control of power at the centre from the 'big/bad' Igbos! I guess the man on the street can be a better judge as to whether his fortunes have improved or deteriorated since the coming of your god Buhari in 2015!

What boggles the mind is the way you bleat on about the 'greed' and 'covetousness' of Igbos in governance in Nigeria, but have little of nothing to say about this current Buhari/APC gov't in power! It's clear to any neutral that you're a biased, bigoted schmuck in dire need of help!

If Ndigbo are as evil as you're making them out to be, pray tell, what have you done or what are you presently doing to support the Biafran bid for secession? There must be something seriously wrong with you if you sit on the fence doing nothing when you believe you're sharing the same country with such a 'evil' people who according to your flow of argument, ought to learn from the Fulani and Yoruba how to be fair-minded, upstanding and model citizens of Nigeria!

BabaRamota1980:


After Aguiyi became Head of State the Army elite and leadership was Ibonized. They carried out a similar ethnic cleansing and Yoruba soldiers were skipped for promotions.

Those in Yorubaland who have been crossing the niger to shake hands with Ibo are deluded. They are the ones promothrg the idea of its Ibo turn to preside. Ibo is remorseful because its not in power. Wait for them to be on top of the house....Yoruba will be their first casualty, fvk handshakes!

Xander85:


It seems you just bandy phrases about without knowing the meaning! It's clear to all that throwback despises Igbos...don't you read his posts? So where does 'emotional blackmail' come into it?

Anyone saying i despise Nigeria or dislike sharing the same country with the likes of the Fulani would be right because it can be seen in my past posts! I wouldn't accuse them of 'emotional blackmail' just because i feel my arguments don't have a leg to stand on.

Throwback:



Oti ooo!

Igbos don't commit any evil, rather they are the ones who have evil committed against them.

Lagos-Ibadam press of Afonja have only told lies against the Igbos.


In fact, I have once debated a self righteous Igbo on this forum who posited that it was wicked Yoruba press that exacerbated the post coup pogrom in the North by reporting on the gloating of the Igbo. As though the Fulani man in Kaduna or Kano needed to read or hear news from the SouthWest about the jubilations of the Igbos in the same Northern markets were both traded, with the Igbo personally reminding him how they killed their leader and he was crying and begging like a ram poised to be slaughtered.

I will admit that I reply Igbo hatred with like hatred.

But I will never tell a lie to win an argument. I only deal with facts without the need for political correctness.

My problem with Igbos is that they are a tribe that are bereft of any political correctness by nature. They feel it is their prerogative to talk about other tribes and their culture and their leaders as they choose to see them, but will never entertain same discussions about their own.

You are highly territorial and protective of your own, while not caring to lay to waste and derision all that others hold dear.

So yes, If I see an Igbo despising my tribe or Nigeria that they loved while in the corridors of power, he becomes a worthy recipient of my own hate too.

Let the Igbo continue to talk as they like, others too can talk as they like with the same reckless abandon we have learnt from the Igbos.
