A whole 4 pages for Enemies of the State to wail on! Tears everywhere May our enemies be put to shame.

Sowore should be grateful that @PoliceNG are not vindictive. A buck shot to the ass is the standard procedure in some climes.

Why Political Marginalization Is Harder for the Igbo to Prove Beyond the Presidency. By Chioma Amaryllis Ahaghotu

The issue of political marginalization in Nigeria often resurfaces in conversations about the Southeast. Yet, beyond the presidency, it becomes increasingly difficult to prove in concrete terms.

Every state in the Southeast is governed by Igbo people.

Every constituency in the region is represented by Igbo lawmakers, both at the state and federal levels.

From senators to members of the House of Representatives, from local government chairmen to councillors, the Southeast controls its own political structure.

Even at the state level, the power to appoint commissioners, special advisers, senior assistants, and board members rests solely with Igbo governors.

These appointments are made internally, by Igbo leaders, for Igbo people.

If there’s poor representation, mismanagement, or exclusion within the system, it’s not the handiwork of any other ethnic group; it’s the result of internal politics, favoritism, and poor governance within the Southeast itself.

Now, let’s talk about federal appointments.

The claim that the Southeast is completely excluded from national representation does not hold up under scrutiny. Across successive administrations, Obasanjo, Yar’Adua, Jonathan, Buhari, and now Tinubu, Igbo technocrats, politicians, and bureaucrats have held key federal positions: ministers, ambassadors, heads of agencies, service chiefs, and permanent secretaries.

From Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala to Pius Anyim, Oby Ezekwesili, and Charles Soludo, the region has produced some of Nigeria’s most influential voices in governance and policy.

The issue, therefore, isn’t a total absence of representation, it’s that the appointments rarely align with the political ambitions or emotional expectations of the Southeast.

Even the historical argument about the “forced amalgamation” of 1914, often cited by IPOB, loses moral weight when one considers that Nigeria’s independence in 1960 was a joint effort. Nnamdi Azikiwe and Michael Okpara were not sidelined; they were architects of the new nation. Azikiwe became Nigeria’s first President, and his leadership symbolized unity, not division.

The Southeast once produced some of the most politically sophisticated minds, bridge builders who understood that politics is not won on sentiment, but on negotiation, alignment, and patience.

Today, instead of coalition-building, many have chosen isolation, resentment, and emotional politics. That’s not mere marginalization, it is worse, that’s self-sabotage.

Between 1960-1966, Igbo people dominated even in the military. Right before the Biafran Civil War.

Political relevance is never given; it is built, through strategy, numbers, and networks.

The North and Southwest have mastered the art of alliance politics, while the Southeast remains trapped in cycles of moral outrage and victimh00d.

It’s easier to argue “marginalization” than to admit that disunity, inconsistent political strategy, and lack of negotiation discipline have weakened our leverage as a region.

Until the Southeast learns to convert emotion into structure, agitation into participation, and rhetoric into coalition-building, it will continue to mistake self-inflicted isolation for national exclusion.

The truth is, the Igbo are not politically invisible, we are politically fragmented.

APGA, the only major Igbo-led political party, holds relevance in just one Igbo state. The PDP, a party that the Igbo have loyally supported for decades, never truly allowed them to lead its top hierarchy. Why is that?

And what about grooming the next generation?

How many Igbo leaders today are actively preparing for 2031 and beyond, strategically, not sentimentally?

IP0B’s agitation has blurred the line between a separatist cause and genuine Igbo political interest, making even the most politically savvy among us too emotional to think strategically.

Politics, everywhere in the world, is a game, of numbers, leverage, and alliances.

If you don’t have numbers to bargain with, you have no leverage.

The fact that no presidential candidate feels compelled to court the Southeast as a necessity to win elections tells us everything we need to know.

The Igbo are also the most geographically dispersed among Nigeria’s major tribes.

Most Yoruba people are situated within the Southwest, and Northerners largely remain within their region.

The Igbo, by contrast, are spread across every corner of the country, economically present but politically diffused.

And until that changes, or we adapt our strategy, this marginalization debate will end in emotional appeal and online outrage. Our political potential will remain a dream deferred, not simply because Nigeria conspired against the Igbo, but because the Igbo have yet to learn how to conspire with themselves.

Anyi kwesiri ikpo onwe anyi meeting! It is long over due.

Sifia pains for finishing specialists. I expect Sowore to stage a protest at the hague after 20th Oct

17 Southern Governors in cahoot with the Presidency Obi of Agulu is finished

Wailers over to you Bring the knives out as usual. Wailers are finished

Obi wants to gate crash and destroy ADC even before the first ballot He's gat the midas touch

Another one bites the dust. Oluwole UNN branch lol! 😀😥

Who is Olawepo in the scheme of things? His boss Saraki could'nt stop APC making incursions in Kwara. We don't know him in the West.

anonimi:
The name of the incompetent and corrupt president should give any ọmọlúwàbí nightmares.

Why are you not an ọmọlúwàbí yourself?

If he has been stealing money from Lagosians, then why is he and his surrogates failed to employ well paid civil servants to make education free for all children, basic healthcare free for all residents, water available to all households.

Are they not progressive politicians? Or do you know if they are progreThief politicians?

You are simply deluded. You are on a long thing my friend.

Lagos Rising! Will Obi bring his minions from a la ibo to come cheer this wonderful event? Just curious

bewildered:
So this man stole the presidency and is cruising with it with the Nuevo Rich doing photo ops on a daily. So the world no longer call out wrong again abi? If the world was still sane,every rational person should have avoided this government.

pele dont cry. You aint seen nothing yet. This is just the begining.

nothingspoil70:
Why is this thread so dry? Maybe because people are still in bed.

I want to see the comments of the negative thinkers

anonimi said hi The name Tinubu gives him nightmares.

Bad news for AGOBI Why is Gbajue scared of primaries? He's a typical coward.

adetoya234:
I will start taking turakin Adamawa serious when he steps down for Peter Obi.
If Adc makes the mistake of not giving Peter Obi the ticket, they should kiss winning in 2027 goodbye.

Obi is not an ADC member. He's still swinging.

Freshtruth:
both of them were Governors colleagues how are they not mate is it because he hold a traditional stool? If obi want kingship in Igbo land in the next 1hr kings will gladly step down for him

Yes we know how your ancestors worship ego

phransix2:
Africa and it's leaders need to do better, I don't know why it's so different here...

Is Nicholas Sarkozy an African leader? Wasn't Trump also indicted? Corruption is human nature.

Stomoney:
