Politics of exclusion ..


Even here on nairaland southeast ,esp enugu and anambra are always referred to and mocked as gully erosion ravaged enclaves. These are the glaring injustices and barefaced marginalisation that the mannequin and his cohorts have elevated to an art.. how many rainfalls does those listed northern states experience yearly. It's just like listing eastern states in a desert encroachment program while leaving out states like yobe,jigawa and sokoto . That is ridiculously standing a fact on its head

As far as I'm concerned, Abia and imo states should be removed from the benefitting states because is just repetition of effort.

Every single Nigerian is very much aware that gej has already completed all these projects in the South East, so why is Buhari trying to take the glory?

The last thing some of these Igbos want to see is the disappearance or reduction of the popular "Buhari hates Igbos" craze that has taken a strangle hold over the East. Upon this craze some of them have built their little political fiefdoms.

That is the essense of the title of this article. It doesn't matter the inclusion of two other states from that East, nah, it must be the Exclusion of ANY of the FIVE, notwithstanding only sixteen states in all 36 are beneficiaries. You just have to do anything to promote that preconceived notion and hatred for the man. Anything outside that is unacceptable.

One of the Benefitting state is even that is Kanu, Abia, but it doesn't matter! If four had been on the list with the exception of only Abia, they caption wouldn't have changed in nature. Maybe they would have attributed it to Buhari's hate for Kanu.

It is just appalling.
