Igbo Marginalisation is a Big Fat Lie. It is Just a Propaganda
[/size]

There has been a lot of shout of marginalisation by South East part of Nigeria since after May 29th, 2015. This is a lie that have been said too long which is now looking like true because others have refused to come out and correct this big lie. I will like to address most of the points use in spreading this lie. What we have in Nigeria is tribal competition and not Marginalisation.

1. They Claim Igbo need to score like 70% while the North need to score 5% to gain admission to Federal govt Secondary School

This point is highly flawed. First of all, the requirement of high cut off mark for admission in Federal govt Secondary School is not limited to South East. South west (Yoruba) and South South also require high cut off to gain same admission. This in itself is not marginalization. This in itself is an inclusion policy in order to ensure the educational weak North still have access to Federal govt College. Despite the cut off differences, South east, south west and south south still dominate the federal govt colleges admission. I believe it would have been marginalisation if we subject the north to the the same cut off as us in the south. Because they would not have been able to compete because they are weak in educational capacity. Policy of inclusion and diversity is a global practice. Multinationals companies are compelled to include people of all race, disability, religion, sexual orientation and gender in their workforce. This is a United Nation mandate. This means there is a minimum percentage of a group of people that must be in the workforce even if there are more capable people in another group to fill up the space. A society that have no space for the weak is not a fair and just society.

2. The North dominate Federal Civil Service due to quota system

This is another big lie. It has been proven than Imo State has the highest number of federal civil servant followed by kogi and Ogun state in Nigeria. By geopolitical zone, south west has the highest, followed by North central, south south third, south east fourth, North west and north east are the last two. The south is 61% of the total Nigeria federal civil servant while the north is 39%. The only thing I may agree with is that some northerners may have risen faster than some of their southern colleagues. However this has been highly corrected in the last 16 years of Democracy. In the last 16years the South has been in Position of President for 13years and the North 3years. As at May 29th, 2015 there were more permanent secretaries of southern origin than northerners. Currently the head of civil service is a southern woman from Cross river State.

3. Federal road in South east are bad because of marginalization.

This is another lie. Marginalization is not responsible for bad state of south east federal road. Two factors are responsible. Soil type and corruption. In the last 16years almost all the ministers of work have been from south south. From Tony Anenih, to odion Ugbesia to Mike Onolimemhen. Who among this people will want to marginalised south east? To bring my point home on the issue of soil type and corruption, Onitsha -Owerri road was completed less than 8years ago, today the road is already dilapidated. if you spend the same money used for that road in a northern road, it will last 20years or more. Instead of the contractors to do the road by putting the soil type into consideration, because of corruption the roads are poorly done and money are pocketed. If you go and find out who the contractors are you will discover that there are a lot of southerners involve in sharing the money.

4. South east is marginalized because of Unemployment and poverty
This is another twisted statement. I believe there are more poverty and unemployment in the North than in the South. The truth is that unemployment in Nigeria is a national problem. There is poverty everywhere in Nigeria. Unemployed youth are all over the country.

5. There are more northerners in NNPC than Southerners
This is another big lie. There are no more northerners in NNPC. Actually there are slightly more southerners in NNPC. NNPC usually recruit many of their staffs by quota system. Today we have 19 northern states and 17 southern state. This will make it appear you will have slighty more northerners. This may be true before 1999. But since Gaus Obaseki from Edo state became NNPC GMD, he changed the recruitment structure. While about 60% of recruitment are still base on quota system, about 40% are base on merit. This has greatly changed the statistics of NNPC staffs. And also in general in the Oil and gas industries, more than 70% of the staffs are southerners. Yoruba and Igbo dominate the oil and gas industry in Nigeria. Those of us from south south even feel marginalized by Yoruba and Igbo when it come to oil and gas Job

6. South east is marginalised because they have five(5) states while others have six (6) states.
This is more of political competition than marginalization. About 13 Northern states each are bigger in size than all the South East states combined. Kogi state is the 13th biggest state in Nigeria. Kogi State size is 29833km sq. If you add up the size of all the south east state it is 29095km sq. Thus the whole south east combined is approximately the same size with Oyo State, the 14th biggest state in Nigeria. The whole of south east is one-third of South south. The argument mostly put forward by Igbo on this topic is that state should be shared by population only and size should not be considered. With the small size of south east in relative to other region, south east is suppose to have maximum of 3 states. It is the consideration of the population and their political strength that makes it 5 states. I believe the population has been strongly considered.

7. Igbo Presidency
This is another area where you hear plenty lie on marginalization propanganda. In other to fully discuss this issue we need to look at Nigeria history briefly. In the beginning of Independence in 1960, Nigeria politics was dominated by Igbo and Hausa/Fulani. The Yoruba were the one who were playing Opposition. From 1960 to 1966 before the first coup, Nigeria federal govt was more Hausa and Igbo government at the centre. While Tafawa balewa was prime minister , Nnamdi Azikiwe was President (though ceremonial but he was number one citizen of the country). Then came the first coup which made Igbo man the First Military head of State of Nigeria. After that, it became from one coup to another which was dominated by the North. This in itself was not marginalization. It was simply dog eat dog affair and purely military affair and power struggle. Then came democracy in 1979 to 1983, this again became Hausa and Igbo government. Yoruba was now the opposition. after that came coup. Yes the military govt became northern dominated. but I cant call it marginalization because this were simply power struggle among opportunist. Then came 1999 and democracy. There was a kind of gentleman agreement or understanding of power sharing from south to North. We must understand that the power sharing was not by geopolitical zone but by region. Obasanjo who is from south did 8 years, the govt moved to North in the name of Yar adua. from North it came to south through Jonathan who did approximately 6 years. From Jonathan it went to the North through Buhari. If Buhari do his 8 years it will come to the South again in 2023. This in itself have been very fair and just. Nigeria democracy from 1999 has been fair to both North and South. By 2023, South East need to play the right politics for them to get presidency in 2023. Because 2023 presidency is for the south not for the south east. As far as the Northern part of Nigeria is concern, 2023 should be southern presidency. The truth is that South East, South West and South South will compete for it. Nobody will just give you the presidency just like that without you playing the right politics. If Igbo continue to make almost every other part of Nigeria their enemy, south south or south west will get 2023 presidency. Should South west or South South win 2023 presidency nobody can call it marginalization. It is the same Igbo that are claiming marginalization who are Supporting Wike an Ikwrere man in Rivers state. From Omehia, to Amaechi to Wike are all Ikwerre. Ikwerre and upland have been ruling rivers state for 17 years now (Since 1999). Yet the greatest supporters of Wike (an Ikwerre and upland) are Igbo in rivers state. This is one big hippocracy. You claim you are politically marginalised yet you are promoting exactly the same thing in rivers state. Just as I said, losing in a political competition is not marginalization. Wike (upland) winning dakuku (riverine) is not marginalization but political competition.


In summary, there is only one form of marginalization in Nigeria. That is the marginalization of the masses by the political class. Where the political class eat fat while the masses are left to die in squalor.

You made a whole lot of sense bro

Romance / Re: Nigerian Girls And The Idea Of “runs Girlism”: When The Hunter Becomes Hunted by freddaboh(m): 6:26am On Jan 06, 2016
iamexcelblog:
So I was hanging out in this bar today, sipping my bottle of orijin when this not so good looking man who should be in his sixties, strolled in with a girl of a much younger age. Mere looking at their body language, the way they looked at each other and the occasional touching and smooching, I was able to decipher that the girl in question will not be his daughter or anything close to a relative. It shouldn’t also be any rocket science that the girl in question is what is regarded in the local Nigerian parlance as a “runs girl” and the man she came with her “MAGA”. Without much ado to anything, I will get down to the business of the day.

Who is a runs girl and what does it imply? In the Nigeria local slang, a runs girl is a girl who is into offering her body up for sex in return for cash or other material rewards. This is akin to prostitution albeit in a co-operate way. We can rightly then call it cooperate prostitution. The only difference between them (Cooperate prostitutes) and the usual prostitutes we have always had an idea of, is that while the former has no particular base of operation, the latter is always known to stay in particular places at a particular time. The former is always on the move and always shady. She is always visiting a distant uncle brother’s cousin relation!

Why Nigerian girls indulge in such act up till today has remained a mystery to me. It’s no wonder you see a Nigerian girl whose father can’t afford to give the family 3 square meals a day using a phone of 300,000 naira or so. This is all in effort to live a fake live or show off that “They belong”! I have been to Abuja, Lagos and Port Harcourt and seen how young girls stay in duplexes and apartments rented for them by one Alhaji or “Chairman”. Their only duty is to wake up every morning, brush their teeth, eat any available food and watch telemundo till evening... then sleep off again. This cycle continues all year pending when the “Alhaji” or “Chairman” has time to come and visit them for you know what! When they have a chance to visit any of their friends, they will gist them on how they caught a “Maga”. This is exactly what puzzles me because in the Nigerian parlance, the idea of a maga connotes “A Fool”. So my question is now: Who is the fool in the real sense?
You are a young girl with potentials who meets a man who is old enough to be your father and you are being used for sex. Your so called “maga” in question is a married man with Children studying in the best universities all over the globe. He dips his hand into his account of 800 million and gives you twenty thousand naira and a Tecno phone for one night. The girl in question now goes back and tells her friends that she met a “MAGA”. My dear, I laugh at you in Swahili.

This is 2016 and a time for amendments. Discover your passion and purpose on earth and work towards it. Unless your destiny in life is to always warm the bed of one Alhaji or Chairman, let it be known to you that time waits for nobody. [b]Your present day beauty is not an asset that can be invested in because rather than appreciate with time, it depreciates with time. As the day goes by, your body gets weaker and uglier. That is human nature for you. Doesn’t this point to the fact that your beauty is a liability and you are investing in it as if it is an asset? [/b]My dear, there is something you are particularly talented in or good at but you have not discovered it yet. Time to work on that is now. A word is enough for the wise they say. Don’t sacrifice your future for a plate of porridge. Thanks.

Politics / Re: "Nigeria's Democracy May Break With The Arrest Of Olisa Metuh" - PDP by freddaboh(m): 2:48am On Jan 06, 2016
TonyeBarcanista:

Oga Secretary, we are standing up for democracy, hence, our position that Olisa Metuh should get a team of brilliant lawyers and explain all what he knows to the investigators. If the investigator aren't satisfied, he should be prepared to explain himself to the judge. There is no two ways about this. This is a democratic process.


However, if he knows within Himself that he ate our scarce resources(yams), he should save us time by surrendering his yams and plead for forgiveness. But whether or not he agrees, the law must take its course.



God Bless Nigeria

Right on point bro.

medoyin:
This is why we are where we are today. Every sector is corrupt and the good man with good intention is the bad leader, has we youths are prescribing him.

You want a suspect with 2.1billion dollars loot be released on bail, you want to use your atm abroad, the country with 1.1% unemployment rate and you don't want him to borrow. Where would he get money, heaven or moon huh? I think we are not ready for the anticipated change, we still want things be done in the old ways with positive changes.

If the man his released on bail, you are the same people that will mock the ''bad leader'' or blame the judiciary if he absconds. I am not against his release,we all know our country, the moment he's released, the case will be in court for donkey years. Why can't we support the bad leader has we did to the ''good leader''.

Nigerian youths, we should be supporting this administration to succeed. Remember, if anything happens, they (the rich) would board the next plane. We will face the consequence.

Lets stop all these attitude of hatred in this new year for a better tomorrow.

God bless Nigeria..!

My brother, you made a whole lot of sense. Haters can keep hating, it is allowed.
