5 Ways Igbos Believe Buhari Has Punished Them For Not Voting Him by ajoguegbe(m): 12:22am On Dec 21, 2017
So if you interview most Igbos, they actually believe these things happen because they are the 5%
1. In Appointments.
Most political appointment by Buhari and his APC government has been concentrated on the North. Even after a public condemnation where they released names of "all' their appointments to prove no section is being marginalized. A counter investigation showed that they hid some names in their list

2. In Victimization
Igbos believe Buhari is using the tools of government like the army and EFCC to victimize their people. Reno Omokiri captured it well when he said EFCC could not arrest maina and co but were very swift in arresting Innoson MD same way they arrested Ifeanyi Uba. Another area that comes to mind is the Arewa vs Ipob issue, Some Arewa Youths called for genocide and no arrest was made even after El rufai ordered their arrest but the military invaded nnamdi Kanus house for asking for seccession. Fulani herds men have murdered thousands but are not declared terrorist instead a special fund will be allocated to fight them but IPOB never killed anyone but were declared terrorists

3. In Favoritism
Since Buhari came to power all efforts has been concentrated in the North. I think it was the World Bank president or so that said Buhari asked him to focus all development effort on the North East. Buhari has also wasted billions looking for oil in the North and recently demanded for 1 Billion dollars to fight Boko Haram-all northern problem. Imagine what half that amount would do to empower entrepreneurs in the South

4. In Commerce
Under Buhari many imported goods are banned under the pretext to promote locally made goods. Importation in Nigeria is done mainly by the Igbos. Also due to the dollar issues many Nigerians studying abroad could no longer afford the fees neither did the federal government come to their aid.

5. In almost every opportunity
It seems to most Igbos that Buhari uses every means to punish them. Last December 2016 there was fuel scarcity, this December 2017 another major scarcity. This is a period most Igbos travel to the east for Christmas. All these moves are always hidden under one reason or the other

I don’t think Buhari is targeting the igbos specifically but he is targeting the South is general. Let’s stop all these conspiracy theories and plan how our families will prosper in the meantime. Buhari was a huge mistake but he can’t be President forever. Abacha came and went and Nigeria is still standing.

Buhari too will come to pass. Let’s stop giving the Muslims/Northerners the satisfaction of knowing that Buhari’s actions hurts southerners/Christians. He would eventually leave aso rock in 2023.

The only thing that you are complaining about that has some semblance of legality is concerning appointments.

All other suggestions are concerning stark illegalities.

You are complaining that the president is not allowing you to break the law.

So it is right when the illegality is from the North? That's injustice which is against our anthem of building s nation where peace and justice will reign

Buhari can do his worst.
It wont intimidate anyone into voting him unless he performs.

Meanwhile trying to punish a major tribe in nigeria is simply trying to ruin Nigeria. Its the proverbial cutting your nose to spite the face. Nobody cares what Buhari does, he has a limited time and he is wasting it on trying to punish igbo instead of developing Nigeria

No! Let it be on record, so that when they start reaping the consequences of Buharis action they will learn a lesson. With all the devastation Boko Haram has caused them it seems they learnt nothing. This is specifically for those who are in the position to speak out but kept quiet.

no law was broken
They didn't support they don't deserve
They do have their ministers according to constitution
Views jury whining cos they didn't get 'juicy' posts where Tey can loot not actually fix anything

2. In Victimization
Igbos believe Buhari is using the tools of government like the army and EFCC to victimize their people. Reno Omokiri captured it well when he said EFCC could not arrest maina and co but were very swift in arresting Innoson MD same way they arrested Ifeanyi Uba.

Did they commit the offence or not
They weren't victimised at random
They shouldn't disturb govt when they know they have skeletons


3. In Favoritism
Since Buhari came to power all efforts has been concentrated in the North. I think it was the World Bank president or so that said Buhari asked him to focus all development effort on the North East. Buhari has also wasted billions looking for oil in the North and recently demanded for 1 Billion dollars to fight Boko Haram-all northern problem. Imagine what half that amount would do to empower entrepreneurs in the South
Same with point 1
Only ministerial and civil service require federal character


4. In Commerce
Under Buhari many imported goods are banned under the pretext to promote locally made goods. Importation in Nigeria is done mainly by the Igbos. Also due to the dollar issues many Nigerians studying abroad could no longer afford the fees neither did the federal government come to their aid.

Why can't they invest in manufacturing like dangote instead of exporting our nation's birthright for mess of dollars

5. In almost every opportunity
It seems to most Igbos that Buhari uses every means to punish them. Last December 2016 there was fuel scarcity, this December 2017 another major scarcity. This is a period most Igbos travel to the east for Christmas. All these moves are always hidden under one reason or the other
If they like their village so much they should stay there
What stops them from importingfuel and selling at loss abi fuel companies in east are northerners?
