Igbos are around 25%-30% of Nigeria's population..

Don't base you conclusion on the 5 SE states.. More than 10 million Igbos are residents out side SE and SS.. (There are up to 5millon Indeginous Igbos in Delta and Rivers State plus Igbo residents in other SS states.)

I am 100% Igbo.

My army should be 100% Igbo.

Anything less is marginalisation.

Fulani boys in NL dishing out fake threads with fake data every day because they think every Nigerian is so gullible and lady to research anything.

You could have said Igbos were 79% of Nigerian army and 83% of Nigerian Navy. We will still believe you because we are all too lazy to verify anything told to us by a Fulani boy on NL.

flamingREED:
Igbos are 15% of Nigerian population?
I.e 15 X 200 000 000/100
= 30 000 000?

I doubt.
We're more than that.
With the way runaway coward nnamdi cownu is leading gullible Igbo youths to their untimely death, you may be reduced to a minority soon

Faithful007:
I have long heard rumors about Igbo's being sidelined and not being drafted into a "fulanized" army. So I decided to statistically confirm if it's true.

According to statista.com, 15.2 percent of Nigerians are Igbo.

Therefore, I sampled 421 officers promoted by LT GEN Buratai on November 25, 2020.

My shocking observation,

62 out of 421 officers promoted have direct Igbo surnames. This equals to 14.7 percent of the promoted officers in the Nigerian Army. This is a very close call to the actual 15.2 percentage of the Igbo ethnicity.

So my question is this, isn't this military marginalization claim simply false?

NB: No Ethnic banters, no stupid comments. No unintelligent comments please.


How do you expect us to believe you when ur claim is not backed up with the list and their state of origin.

Good observation.

You see marginalization is just the igbo elites way of making the government feel guilty of the civil war.

It is an industry on its own.

Igbo people claimed they are marginalized but the data says otherwise.

The only marginalized group in igboland are the osu, who are marginalized and discriminated by the igbos themselves.

And so what? 50% of igbos are outside igboland which means igbos are about 36 million which is less than 20% of the population.

By the way,igbos are not marginalized in the army as falsely claimed

Is the figure not from that questionable Census of yours?
The year an accurate Census will be conducted is the year Nigerians will be shocked, that's if Nigeria will remain before then

Igbo are not marginalised as you wanna claim, yet it had to take the coming of a GEJ for a Igbo to be appointed Chief of Army Staff (first time since the time of Ironsi), and head of NDA Kaduna!

Only those who want to lie to themselves will buy your story.....and sadly, when it comes to Igbos there are many of them!
