Uduaghan is not the representative of itsekiri, fashola is not of yoruba, Amaechie is not the representative of Ijaw in river state.  There are ethnic group not in the house of rep. fashola is the representative of lagos. Uduaghan is delta state

Willy, he is not the governor of Itsekiri, he is of delta state.

You the decision of itsekiri is in the hands of the itsekiri people  .And not anybody.  The PDP conducted  a census which put the itsekiri into minority status. Do you think the Itsekiri are happy with that. ?  Any  Itsekiri man who support justice for his people. To be honest with you.


If he does not know how to pick member of the SNC , yes, he will ask people how do you think people. First of all, house of rep are not representative of Itsekiri people.  they are representative of local govt.   Imagine if an Igbo win an election in Nupe land. will that person be the representative of Nupe people. The answer is not.

The Itsekiri can elect their representative to a SNC.  The Uhrobo can elect their Representative to the SNC. The Yoruba can send a representative. Fashola is not a representative of the Yoruba people. fashola is the Representative of Lagos state.  Egun people ko

It is different. If people get elected by Yoruba people to represent them to the conference. he is the Representative the Yorubas. This is what britain did.

what britain did was to allow all the ethnics group to present people to a conference. And they now voice their opinion.

Even in January Steven harper the prime minister of canada had to meet with native to discuss way forward. This picture of Obama doing the same.


Nigeria is a nation of ethnics and not of local govt.

you have to allow the ethnic group to voice thier concern since most of them are not represented in the national assembly.

One of the major problem nigeria has is because you never allow ethnics group to speak their mind . Nobody in the nation assembly represent an ethnic group even while nigeria is a nation of ethnic group. So who are the representative representing. When a nation representing is not of  ethnicity group in that country, how can you call them representative of the people.

It is ethnic group that make up Nigeria. not local govt.

An Ijaw man would prefer to have an Ijaw representing ijaw people , so will Yoruba and others. even Britain allow this.

^^^So who will represent Itsekiris?.
Re: Willy:a governor Is Not The Representative Of itsekiri, Is Not Of Yoruba by musiwa43: 2:40am On Mar 10, 2012
nigeria is a nation of several ethnic but nobody in nigeria national assembly is allowed to represent an ethnic group. why? selfishness .

Nigeria ethnic group dont share the same believe and want different thing, but are not allowed to talk. even if the ijaw have anything to say, how can they say it when ijaw leaders are not represented anywhere. or yoruba leaders are not too.
