I said Igboland not SE
The SE is just 60% of Igboland, and an Igbo nationalist I'd not entertain the thought of seeing Igboland restricted to the SE alone
Igboland is 43200km², so hang yourself if you don't like it!

I don't even know where/ how to even begin to educate you.
Belgium, Qatar, Brunei, Kuwait, to mention a few, are not respected?
You can't expect to be spoon-fed all the time. To be in the know, you must invest time and effort.


There are several massive countries "without respect" e.g Nigeria, which is presently only a giant in landmass and population.
Better small and relatively insignificant than big for nothing.

somegirl1:
You are presume (or hope) that Igbos in in Rivers and Delta would opt to stick with Nigeria. Even then, what are the land masses of the following countries:

Guinea-Bissau
Lesotho
Equatorial Guinea
Burundi
Rwanda
Djibouti
Swaziland
Gambia
Cape Verde
Reunion
Comoros
Mauritius
São Tomé and Príncipe


Belgium
Armenia
Albania
Republic of Macedonia
Slovenia
Montenegro
Cyprus
Luxembourg
Andorra
Malta 316
Liechtenstein
San Marino
Monaco
Vatican City
Armenia

Israel
Kuwait
Qatar
Lebanon
Brunei
Hong Kong
Singapore
Bahrain
Maldives

Smaller countries are easier to manage.

Patiently waiting on our Twitter senatorial district head to say something about this bill, maybe he could champion it or trash it/ remain siddon look in the house

ayobase:
Oya na.

You can hate or love him. Either way, he is worthy of this appointment. He has been a fervent and unflinching follower of PMB.

Loyalty pays brothers and sisters.

Don't be clement.
Sitting on the fence not permitted.

It is either God or Satan.
It is either PMB or GEJ.
It is either WAILERS or DULLARDS.

Congrats Tolu.

Don't ask me which party I belong. .....I'm after good governance of calling a Shovel not a Trowel.



Na JJ Omojuwa and some Ngenes from NL remain now.

Angelberry:
Fine thank you, I've not been online for some days now, what's the latest on politics

seunmsg:
Most Christians only profess Jesus Christ in words of mouth and not in deeds. Same applies to most American conservatives. They hate Muslims, blacks and Hispanic. They want their government to be nasty to immigrants, shut the borders to muslim and protect their right to carry guns about even when they are killing each other daily with the guns. Yet, they still profess evangelical Christians. Will Jesus Christ support all these nonsense if he's to be on earth?

. . . won't pass as long as Saraki is SP.

ibotic:
It feels good to be back from this long ban...
So many innocent people are being banned anyhow on NL these days..
As an Nnewi babe...
I hope this news is not true...
Ngige is a great man...
I heard the news when coming back from Ohafia today..
I suspect the ipod people are behind this....

Angelberry:
Thanks dear, how are you doing?

Whynotthetruth:
If bolded is true...how come you still love buhari

Dirts and Poisons like you weigh Nigeria down...Believe me, if not for tribal sentiments against Igbo, you won't be convulsing here without checking or understanding the merit of her case...

Angelberry:
Hi angelcaseless!

Favolly:
Some people are locked in perpetual victimhood. I mean, weren't people from other ethnicities fired too?

While she has a point about tribal nepotism which is very common in all parts of Nigeria, she polluted everything by making it all about herself and her ethnicity. What did she even achieve in all the years that she was in charge?

In saner climes, she would have voluntarily resigned her position after PMB won the elections seeing as she was part of the campaign team that was gallivanting about insulting him. How does she expect to continue to work with someone she so vigorously campaigned against even to the point of outright abuse. IMO, Buhari has been extremely magnanimous to have kept someone like her up to this moment.

Girlbye!

luvmijeje:
Hold on! What you quoted are challenges she confronted and overcom in the process of doing her job. The job specifics is empowerment of women. what was her achievement in that area?

mascot87:
Not like the useless tribalistic Onyeka that was shouting "" i was sacked because i am Igbo"" I am sure the people she is working with will even be happy she is going. Sebi this is someone going and his workers are shedding tears on his behalf which shows that he has a great personal relationship with the people he is working with.

Proudlyngwa:
. it is as long as four local governments and as wide as some states.

1. There is tribalism in every government agency - it is not exclusively targeted at Igbo people - but yes it is a huge problem.

2. I think Onyeka's problem with the guys she worked with stemmed more from their strong resistance to actually putting in work; trust me anyone who tried to bring about the transformation she described in her article would face very stiff opposition in any government agency. I'm aware that even in the Lagos Civil Service (which is seemingly the most urbane), the bosses at the top face a lot of spiritual attacks, especially where they are perceived to be "making life difficult" for their laggard subordinates.

3. Further to point 2, I've heard stories of how Onyeka was high-handed at this agency plus she also got her hands dirty with a couple of funny deals, so she can quit the "Jesus my saviour pretense.

3. Onyeka as a person can be quite nasty, and the truth is that the nastiness some of us in the private sector (especially financial services) get away with would get you into serious shit with these public servant types. I know top dogs in government agancies who are more careful with the very low cadre Staff than even senior staff. The nastiness of this brood is one of the reasons the labour union in this country is very effective (mostly at promoting bullshit) at many organizations.

4. The sack was not directed at any tribe, so Onyeka should quit trying to sneak the tribe card on us (even though some of the things she mentioned here are quite bewildering and need looking into).

5. Anywhere in this country where public sector behavour has taken root, fighting them is very difficult, bitter and very dangerous. When Funke Osibodu worked to push out these lot from union bank, she faced a lot of intimidation and even spiritual attacks (ask around from people in the know). Unon Bank had BOs and in some cases AMs who were drivers (i don suffer).

6. Tribalism is very real in Nigeria, and I dont know if its just my perception, but it seems to have become a more acute problem since after the election, with the SE and SS feeling left out of the equation, while the rest of the country views their protests as attacks (a bit simplistically), thus dismissing them.

freshvine:
Ok.

Onyeka Onwuenu started by stating the laxity of workers in her establishment and how she was able to reorganize the place for effective administration .... You skipped this part in your reading.

She went on to explain how workers in that government departments have sectionalize the workforce and how she fought tirelessly to create a balance.... You skipped this part of canker worm that is eating deep into the fabrics of national integration and development.

Onyeka Onwuenu is a PRO Nigerian. Her first marriage was to a yoruba man....You see why she isn't a tribalist?

Her songs has always been about ONE Nigeria, LOVE amongst tribes and all the media gingles she did for government promoting ONE nation.

Here's a woman who believes in one Nigeria, Promotes Nigeria crying out for equal right and privileges in the same nation she so much believe in and all you do was to find hate to justify a bad system.

Are you more Nigerian than she is or you're just a tribalist believing the Injustices she recounts will carry on forever?

If you need a GOOD and working NATION, do the right thing. She didn't complain she was sacked, she only recounts her challenges while discharging her duties

midehi2:
sameer1212 come and answer this question

nnokwa042:
what do u think will happen if igbos re the one grazing thier cattles inside hausa fulani farm wont they call it infidel cattles?or will yoruba allow igbo to graze thier cattles in thier farm for free,who amongs u want to build filling station?u or ur father?and u went to igbo land they refuse to sell land to u,how did oando filling station get thier own land or how did glo get land to build thier mast,mr man if u want land u pay for land cus no where in nigeria where igbos get land for free,after paying for land u pay omo onile and ur here talking as u dash igbos land

emmydee:
I do not agree with you. The govt should rather investigate those issues she pointed out cos they actually took place. If you become a DG someday and your staff behave in such a manner, am sure you will react too.

AfroKnight:
Throughout my stay in the east, I never saw even one street named after a non-igbo. The local government would rather leave the new street nameless and wait for an Igbo to buy land and apply. Even in their Federal Universities, non-igbos should forget about aspiring to higher positions cos the auhorities run the schools like State Institutions.

In their state civil service, non-igbos are virtually nonexistent. It is so bad that muslim igbos are victimized. Even Anglicans and Catholics have laughable discrimination issues. I have not even mentioned their politics. What non-indegenes often thrive upon is Entrepreneurship.

If you want to see real tribalism, go to the east. The reason they are quick to scream victimization is because they are so quick to victimize and marginalize other tribes. They think everyone is as clannish as they are.

charles316:
On a more serious note,tribalism won't take us anywhere. We,afrcans, are still living in the past and tribalism won't let us achieve much.

charles316:
I have a colleague like you. He hates people who " bring in ethnic coloration into issues " but he is the biggest tribalist in the office.

Hope you practice what you preach.

praxisnetworks:
He's using an ssce certificate so go and die

PMB should show us his ssce failed certificate
