the same east, how is that place developed, can it compare to lagos or abuja. Please stop deceiving yourself

A Second Republic lawmaker, Dr Junaid Mohammed, has alleged that Igbos are using the agitation for Biafra to blackmail the North into ceding the 2019 presidency to them.

Mohammed insisted that such move will only prevent the South East from producing Nigeria’s president because, “democracy is a game of numbers,” adding that nobody can tell “people to vote for you because you are being irresponsible.”


Speaking with The Sun, Mohammed maintained that Igbos caused the Civil war that claimed the lives of over one million people.

Mohammed wondered why the same people who caused the Civil war will now turn around to demand for Presidency.

He said, “The Igbo are clamouring for an additional state, one of the reasons they are now talking about Biafra, even though the real reason is that they want to blackmail the North, to concede presidency to them.

“By this means, they will never get any hope for presidency because democracy is a game of numbers. You cannot tell people to vote for you because you are being irresponsible.


“You caused the civil war that claimed over one million people, you will now come back and demand as a right that you must have a president. Is it democracy they are talking about or secession?”

OP...even though I agree with you, but can we be realistic? Is it possible to revert back to merit based system and sustain it? Do you know that the hate against Igbos started when they dominated everything when WHITES were in charge and after they left? That's what brought the hatred against Igbos by Hausa-Fulani and Yorubas. They didn't just start hating Igbos for no reason...something caused it!

Again, I get your point, I support it but can we sustain it without hating the person at the top? As it'a right now, if you take away quota system in the educational sector for example, Igbos will flood our educational system with huge representation more than others which will bring about more hate. I'm not the one saying this, the statistics say this as their cut off mark is higher than others and same goes with their performance in WAEC and Jamb. It's one thing to be clamoring for merit based system but don't cry or hate have when a people who are not your own occupy the top.

Though I agree with you, I'd rather prefer we separate and go our own ways, and for every people to develop at their own pace which will stoop the envy and hate.

Why are some people like this? You only bring up this federal character talk when the Super Eagles win games. But when they lose games with this same exact squad, you don't emphasize merit or ethnic makeup. The lads that lost to Ghana by 4 points last week or so weren't accused on the basis of federal character so why now? This divisive superiority complex talk needs to stop.

zombieHUNTER:
You are right...
Take a good look at any Nigerian sports team
It's made up of more than 80% southerners
And the team will surely progress
This is because... Intellectually... Physically and otherwise.. . The southerners are way head of their Northern peers..

When it comes to politics and governance
Instead of doing the same thing
The reverse is the case
The northerners hijack all delicate positions
You can imagine when a dullard like buhari who can't pass waec is the minister of petroleum...
What is the fate of such ministry...

If you doubt me
Let Nigeria be represented by a team made up of 80% northerners.... In sports or anything
Let's see the outcome

Acepen:
just look at your sense of reasoning, and u think Nigeria would have progressed If not for amalgamation. Is it not the Yoruba, igbo and Hausa that are equally corrupt?

mrvitalis:
If we igbos had good politicians we should already have a candidate from the medle Belt that's Would be loyal

How can a Fulani tribe with a population of less than 10 million control Nigeria in a democratic setting when you have igbos and Yorubas

Ovamboland:
Still lacking candour to admit when found out? You just accused me of faking your post by giving an example of how you make fake post. Confronted with hard evidence of your own words you go on tangent of BMC.

BMC made you lie and deny your own words?

Ovamboland:
Typical tanoids, now resort to denying your own words freely written

Please don't sound dumb, they awarded, never completed and took the full cost of completing the said projects. Who is now setting us back?

Ovamboland:
I wonder why you want to deny your heritage and stand. You supported TAN and not change. Who said you're necessarily a card carrying member? Where your sympathy lies is obvious

prof12:
No I disagree with you.
This is what is called continuity and that is what we lack in Nigeria in the administrations.

Ovamboland:
TAN people are very daft, how can previous administrations mean only Jonathan's government?
Almost all projects completed by the Jonathan administration were initiated or planned by previous government including the rail, power etc.
Did Jonathan also initiate Ajaokuta, Mambilla dam, Lagos-Kano rail standard gauge, Ajaokuta-Warri rail etc

Ibime:
Go and check what Rwanda did within a few years. Comparing Igbo land to Rwanda is like comparing Enyimba to Barcelona. Don't let the backwardness of tue North set low standards for you. Igbo land is very much underdeveloped and decrepit.
