Yes, because some of us watch the details of the game and make our views based on it, while noisemakers only base their views on what the final result was, even if a player was lacking.

I bet you didn't notice the Winks incident, but I who notice such detail will give my score based on it, and you will be surprised. My score is 5.

Lol. You couldn’t even answer that.

But as a Nigerian by marriage, it qualifies her for the job. I think she's also done a good job of promoting the culture. It's why I wanted to see ibime's view on the issue as he's literally experiencing this. I just hope my question wasn't interpreted to be ill-mannered or bad intentioned.

Brother, we are talking about an important position that appointments should be made on merit and achievements.

The reason you're being empathetic is because she's white. I don't think a white administration would appoint a Black woman married to a white man to take such a role because she promotes their culture.
She can take any other thing, but not a commissioner abeg

wman:
Chelsea have played the last 19 games in 60 days (that is approximately every 3 days). That is the most frequent by any other team in Europe.

In that meantime, they have encountered 32 injuries and covid without getting a single game postponed. That is the highest number for any team in Europe without having their match postponed

Now they will get a much deserved 13 day break except the players on internationals

Personally, I might argue she merits it. We are talking of tourism and cultural affairs here. What better way than to put someone who has shown a deep love, acceptance and advertisement of the said culture than her.
She is already doing it, she is qualified. But I understand the negative optics.
I understand that giving the post to a foreigner when there is barely any other cabinet member from another tribe just looks absurd. Still doesn't take away from her qualification for the job.

She has shown deep love, acceptance and advertisement of our culture more than hundreds of thousands of the ladies in Anambra?

Na joke be this, abi you serious?

You just feel this way because she's white. You may not advocate for this if it was a Yoruba or Hausa lady married to an Igbo guy.

She can be recognized by the government, but appointing her over the affairs of our state is just ridiculous.

Nothing makes her more qualified than Chinyere that was born and bred in Fegge, or Adaora that grew up in Ozubulu.

My wife isn't white. Any Nigerian citizen should be able to hold any position the constitution qualifies them for, that's when we will know we've gone past tribalism and quota system to a competence based system. As for whether she is qualified, those in the know can decide. We have many Nigerian born immigrants holding political positions in UK, Canada, USA, even Poland. We've also always had Nigerians holding ministerial and Chief Justice positions in places like the Gambia. Yaya Jammehs Chief Justice was Nigerian until 2017. What's good for the Jews is good for Uganda.

Nezzjnr:

Are you from Fegge??

You should be related to Odumeje then

I'm not from Fegge oh.

And which one come be Odumeje wey you wan drag me join?

That's egregious, it's not just because she's white.
It's because I see her devotion to a whole different culture.
It's rare to see someone from another continent go to another whole continent and ingratiate themselves totally to that new culture.

It's not impossible to think of a Yoruba woman who adapts to an igbo culture or an Hausa culture because that person has already been exposed to bits and pieces of the culture since birth by virtue of proximity. The cultures share certain similar attributes, traditional monarchy, relatively similar diets, similar cultural fashion. Some of this brought together by the fact that both share similar environment, same whether, same vegetation, same climate etc. Very much unlike the different factors someone else from another continent faces.

So it's a much bigger deal for nwanyi ocha to have adapted so well than those from the same geo location or continent.

You tribalistic prick! You're Igbo, right, Izzou?

How come you don't raise sentiments such as this when governors in the South West (Yorubas) and South South (particularly Akwa Ibom and Rivers State) appoint Igbos who are non-indigenes and not even married to indigenes as Special Assistants?

In Ogun State, as far back as 2002 under Gbenga Daniel, Igbos were being appointed as SAs and SSAs, and nobody had issues. The story is the same in Lagos State, and the most recent popular case being Joe Igbokwe who is wholly Igbo.

In Akwa Ibom State, under Godswill Akpabio (2007 to 2015) (who is married to an Igbo woman, Uloma Akpabio), SSAs and SAs who were Igbos were appointed and even Igbos drafted into our civil service. We were okay with it as they had lived in the state for donkey years and even speak the language, even though they married Igbos too and had Igbo names.

Tribalistic folks like you who chestbeat on the internet is why we kicked all of them out of these positions and got them removed from the civil service because Igbo States refuse to reciprocate the gestures and goodwill.

Arc. Victor Attah (1999 - 2007) who was Akwa Ibom State governor and Obasanjo's friend until the sharing formula for oil states fallout, was married to a white woman who couldn't even speak the language and wasn't one-tenth as immersed in the culture like the said Nwanyiocha is but was never treated less than the wife of the governor and was given the full powers as women leader of Akwa Ibom State.

A non-Igbo even aspiring to be course representative in any university in Igboland would have his or her life threatened, and worse if you aspire for a key position in any of the SUGs.

Continue breaking bridges instead of mending the ones your forebears broke with other tribes in Nigeria.

You should ask yourself why an Ibibio man (the fourth largest ethnic group in Nigeria) or Ijaw man (of the fifth largest) is always three times as likely to be fingeréd to rule this country or benefit from the socio-politico-economics than the Igbo who's amongst the three largest ethnic group.

You should ask yourself why every president is likely to take other tribes as key allies (including Jonathan and Buhari) but somehow skips over the Igbos.

You should ask yourself why Asari Dokubo or Boy Loaf who have committed more atrocities than Nnamdi Kanu would ever think of are walking free why the later is in chains.

Continue fanning the embers of hatred and discrimination then cry foul when others treat you the same way. We would keep watching.

I noticed you bro.

I really did

I also liked and shared your post.

Very insightful.
