This is exactly what I was saying before one mumu interrupted me. Nepotism has found its way into the armed forces

The average Foolaniy & hawoosa have
never really liked anything military
because they are not prepared to take
the wahala & suffering of military
training.

They feel there are easier ways to make
a living than to subject themselves to
such grilling and not to have the freedom
to move & Waka about as you like.

An ordinary hawoosa man will prefer
to put 800 Naira worth of Kolanut in a
tray & walk all over town from morning
to night selling. While foolaniy prefer to
have total freedom, walking all in &
out of the bush or trekking from Sokoto
to Ado Ekiti.

By nature, not every tribe are cut out
for the discipline of military life.

Most times, many Northern rank &
file of northern extraction are simply
forced into the military without the
necessary qualifications or training, while
willing &qualified youths from other areas are
blocked.

Those two senators that walked out should be suspended. There must be orderliness. He wasn't invited because of lopsidedeness in recruitment, why try to push it in. Touts

One Liegeria!

Thanks Sen. Abba Morron .

I guess you see nothing wrong with the military recruitment hence your overrule.

But why am I even blaming you sef. We have all the good for nothing Senators from SE who said nothing and did nothing even though their zone is the worst affected by the imbalance. May God bless the 2 brave Senators from Sokoto and Rivers.
They are touts not brave. Was the military man invited over recruitment issues? They should be suspended

I don't think Igbos are hated as you claimed,
but Maybe they just can't be trusted due to experience.
according to past history a person from that tribe led the first and most tragic coup in the history of this nation because he felt same way you were feeling now, killing the first prime minister (head of govt)who was a northerner, first northern premier, western premier but the eastern premier and governor general who were Igbos were miraculously spared or escaped.
there is alot to say but wouldn't want argument over the fact already.
I personally have no hatred for any tribe on earth but you should know that history can't be forgotten.
God Bless Nigeria!
God Bless Us!!
Nzeogwu is no more Niger Delta and South South man abi?
I thought Igbo is limited only five eastern states.
You only admit the truth when it favours you and massage your ego.

Igbodicool:
Injustice, inequality, unfairness will surely destroy Nigeria.

Igbo is most hated tribe in Nigeria today because they stood against these social ills.

Finally, finally, enough of these to go round.


Don't speak based on ignorance. The same way Fulani are hated today in Nigeria.


IGBOS MARGINALISATION OF NIGERIANS
*THIS IS THE REASON WHY HAUSAS, YORUBAS, EDO AND THE NIGER DELTA MAN WILL NOT TRUST THE IBO MAN AT THE CENTER AND WHY THE HAUSAS MAY NOT WANT TO RELINQUISH POWER IN NIGERIA*
Any historians in the house to vet this:
Forgotten History Of Igbo Tribe And Northern Alliance?
Do you know that when Tafawa Balewa was Prime Minister of Nigeria;
Chief of Army Staff was from SE
Chief of Naval Staff was from SE
IG of Police was from SE
Chief of Defence Staff was from SE
Internal Affairs Minister SE
External Affairs Minister SE
Education Minister South SE
Many other key ministries to SE
Parliament President SE
Unilag VC from SE
The University of Ibadan VC from SE
North resisted same at ABU!
Still, there was dissatisfaction by SE, the officers from the region killed this same Balewa!!!!
Out of all the most senior officers in Nigeria, SE has 37, none was killed. 8 from the north, all of them were killed. 10 from the west, 2 were killed.
Then Ironsi imposed a unitary system of government on the country so that everything can belong to a region who snatched it!
We must know our history so that when we want to make corrections, we will not end up concealing the truth. This has nothing to do with tribalism but everything to do with the truth.....at times when lies litter the streets. There is a tendency to think those are truths and facts.
*What follows are documented facts that can be cross-checked for authenticity!"*
Thou shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.
*“Prof. Ben Nwabueze was the man who drafted the constitution that took away powers from regions and handed it to the central government because his brother Aguiyi Ironsi was the head of state then but some ignorant or selfish people limit their accusations to only Abdussalam Abubakar constitution that give birth to current democratic govt. Today, they're shouting restructuring that they helped to destroy. We won’t forget.”*.
WHAT SOME GROUP OF PEOPLE WILL NEVER TELL U ABOUT THEIR WOES
The Igbo man is known to enjoy blaming the Hausa fulanis, Yorubas and indeed every other Nigerian tribe and Lord Luggard/Britain for their seeming claim of being in third class citizen status in Nigeria. In their perpetual attempts to play the victim card, they recount the political events of Nigeria from 1914 to the present in a half-baked and highly selective manner which cleverly avoids the mention of the roles played by their elite who by all natural laws of judgement were actually responsible for the woes that befell not only the Igbo race but the entire Nigeria nation.
However, the national archives have the complete and unedited history of Nigeria regarding the political events beginning way back from even before 1914.
Shortly after the 1914 Amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates, it started getting clear that the country was bound to fail as the amalgamation in question was done with colonial fiat without the consent and consensus of the different tribes which were over 300. This prompted the political leaders to start asking for de-amalgamation so as to forestall the future danger which the forced amalgamation portended.
To that end, Ahmadu Bello, speaking on behalf of the Northern protectorate in 1944 described the amalgamation as "The mistake of 1914 which if allowed to remain will ultimately lead to unstoppable bloodshed and a failed country".
Awolowo, speaking on behalf of the Yorubas and Western minorities, described Nigeria as a mere geographical expression not qualified to be called a country let alone a nation. Awolowo added that if the amalgamation could not be reversed, then Nigeria should be structured as a strictly federal state so as to enable each tribe enjoy autonomy this freedom from being dominated by any one single tribe.
But Nnamdi Azikiwe, speaking for the Igbos, denounced Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello, terming them ethnic champions. He accused them of nursing a sectional agenda against the unity of Nigeria, and he declared further that the Unity of Nigeria was non-negotiable.
After moving the motion for independece in 1953, Anthony Enahoro proposed that a secession clause should be incorporated into the future constitution of Nigeria so as to give legal backing for any tribe to peacefully exit the forced union if it feels marginalized in future. According to Enahoro, such provision in our constitution would instill in all Nigeria's future leaders the fear of the consequences of misgovernance. But Azikiwe, speaking on behalf of Igbos, rose against him in the parliament and labelled him an agent of disunity, and enemy of Nigeria. At a later date, Awolowo too made a case for secession clause, but Azikiwe again resisted him and instigated the colonial authorities to threaten him and Enahoro with charges of treasonable felony if they didn't stop proposing secession clause for the future constitution. While Azikiwe did all these, Igbos cheered and urged him on because they felt the future Nigeria was theirs to dominate and lord it over every other tribe
Before independece, Tafawa Balewa too had in a public speech described Nigeria as a British experiment and Nigeria's unity as a British intention which Nigerians themselves don't believe in. But Azikiwe kicked and demonized him too. Had Azikiwe co-operated with Enahoro, Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa about the secession clause, Nigeria perhaps would not have been this misgoverned.
It should be noted that there were many Igbo members of the parliament in which Azikiwe fought against Awolowo's secession clause proposal in the link above, but not a single one of them rose against Azikiwe or condemned him.
Igbos initially never wanted to hear anything like secession in Nigeria because they so much believed, though falsely, that they were the most educated tribe.
As an evidence of Igbo domination agenda hence their initial resistance to the idea of secession; here is a quote:
"From all indications, the god of us Igbos have destined us to rule the whole of Africa"
Northerners have clearly known this & will never succumb to cheap political trick, how can u call us backward and at the same time asking us to go back to 1963 constitution talkless of even amending the current constitution?

Patrick Chukwuma Nzeogwu was born in Kaduna the capital of the
Northern Region to Igbo parents of the Anioma people in Okpanam
Town.
among the 5 majors Ifeanyi ifeajuna,okafor,anuforo,only Jeremiah ademoye was Yoruba.
Ifeanyi and Nzeogwu convinced/confused the others to believe that they were being marginalized.

The senators were asking the wrong question at the wrong time and directing it to the wrong person.please,read sen Moro's explanations
why haven't they summoned the army chief since 'few months' ago, or at least halt the exercise (recruitment) until the right is done?
