Who doesn't know the idiot is a dunce being cheered on and worshiped by bigger dunces?

Only a dunce uses ethnicity and religion to build a political base and opposed to sound reason and logic.

I pray he leads them out. We could use far fewer dunces in this country honestly.

AnanseK:
Why do I have to meet with dunces like this one

Jiang:
sorry sir, i didn't know her husband was online as well, am really sorry, its just i never saw my mom wasting her time chatting, its either shes at work, spending time with us or making sure we are well disciplined

AnanseK:
The whole topic is about the value of the north to Igbos , remember? Not whether Igbos make money or not, that is not in contention and not relevant to the thread.

[/right] [right]

AnanseK:
And have you found out where he made that money? Why was Ojukwu born in Zungeru in Northern Nigeria?

Was his father living in the east making money and his children being born in the north? Figure it out for yourself even if you can't use Google.

Jiang:
Then stop wasting time here & go take care of ur new family, irresponsible housewife kawai

Guyman02:
Time to unite under a just Nigeria is now.
We are better together but under justice and equity.
Igbos are not happy that we still have poor almajiris in the north despite all the resources at our disposal. They actually want a prosperous Nigeria

UGLEEBOI:
DO your maths!

The richest men in Africa 1 - 25

No Ipob dey there... why??

Their money ain't clean..

Ipob are always into Fraud, 419, Laundering e.t.c

Crime is embedded in their Genes

ERockson:
Kwankwaso really rubbishes the SE with this statement. So the whole SE is so small that the land igbo occupied in the north is now bigger than the whole SE. What an Insult!

laudate:
Here it is.

In addition, this extract May also interest you.



"The table above reveals that the South-West has
occupied the position of CG for a total of nine
years; the South-East has had it for six months,
while no officer from the South-South has never
been appointed to the position.
On the other hand, the North-Central, North-West
and North-East have dominated the position for a
period of 31 years registering five, 21 and five and
half years respectively."

Let me elaborate on my reply .
Why hasn't any person from Eastern Nigeria serve as CGC ?

First , It could be a coincidence . A coincidence In the sense that no one is keeping records of the ethnics that had served in that capacity . Since the constitution didn't say that particular post should be rotational among ethnic groups in Nigeria .

Secondly , a study of that office had shown that its rare to bring in civilian to serve in that capacity . So most people that had assumed that post were Custom officials , and they're appointed according to ranks. So if an eastern person had not been there ...without prejudice , it has to be that they lack the rank to be there whenever the need arises .


Thirdly , since you yourself acknowledged the peculiarity of the post , unfortunately it May be that successive govt. don't usually find a trustworthy peron in easterner to trust with such resposibility . And as long as Federal character had been fulfilled - people are usually contented .Except maybe a particular person interested in the post for reasons only best known to him/her.

These are the best possible facts. Whether they're satisfactory to you is entirely your perogative .

bkool7:
I've answered your question ( NO you have not ! . The question is still there it's okay if you don't know why. i don't know either)

Its not compulsory that igbo must be everywhere.( I agree with you but then is it not then ironical that we have something called federal character in our constitution ?)

Its the president perogative to appoint people. (No one is arguing that but you will admit that there must be some sort of mischief at play here, why no head of state or president since 1914 ever appointed the easterners as comptroller general of customs )

You can't mandate Buhari to appoint an Igbo man as CGC just because Igbos have not serve in that capacity before . (No one is mandating buhari, this is my humble observation that i told you in close confidence as my new friend, remember i said, ponder on it. I also am not aware of any group agitating for this, if there is, i personally think they can.)

Is it Buhari fault (No ! It is not buhari's fault, it did not even start from him and it will be total madness for anyone to expect the buhari we all know to appoint any easterner, after all, a lot of investors need ROI )

why are Igbos just aware they never serve in that capacities before and its now they must ? I cannot speak for Igbos in general like i said before it is my humble observation and i have known this fact for a couple of years now.

What's so speacial in it ? It is special !!!!!!!!!!! very special !!!!!!!! (i can't believe you even asked that )


Do you know we have about 250 ethnic groups in Nigeria ? (Ofcourse ! but we have 3 main tribes as well)

Lets concentrate on govt performance rather than our son must be there . I am very suprised you said this cause it is completely off the point but since you mentioned know that i agree with you on this completely !

bkool7:
Igbos can't be in all places

The custom controller general is a post of heirachy, until Buhari decided to appoint someone outside ...which is within his jurisdiction. I know Shagari too appointed someone from outside before .
The same reason is why no one from the West has ever been a Senate President in Nigeria. Does that make the West shout Marginalization ?

And it doesn't bother me because I see no direct impact from someone from my side holding a political office . The only ones that benefit are the friends , families and relations .

What you people call igbo marginalization is the way the political elite marginalize all citizens of nigeria.
You see it as igbo marginalization, but its general

bkool7:
Its a win win for them because they're calculative . Those screaming marginalization should practise the political calcution too .

Reno is jus being mischievous

slowpoke, which facts? Why didn't reno and GEJ address these issues when they were in power? Stupid hyprocite.

If you follow the 1999 presidential election you'll know that the west didn't support Obj . He won the election with votes from other parts of the country .
The regional Yoruba parties are AD and ACN
