Re: Governor Otti Makes 30 New Appointments by Throwback:
You cannot vote 95% for a fellow Igbo and call my own tribe as tribalist for voting a fellow Yoruba at 60% of votes cast.

You cannot have the politics and political appointments in the SouthEast to be exclusively for Igbos, but you want to participate in the politics and political appointments of other regions.

This is why Ahmadu Bello came up with the Northernization policy when he was the Premier of the North.

Simply beacuse some people having exclusively occupied all the positions in their own region, wanted to be allowed to compete for roles in the North.

Despite all the lamentations of Igbos about their phantom discrimination in other parts of Nigeria, they are the ones who still boast that they have displaced "lazy" indigenes in their home region, while no tribe can displace Igbos in their own home region.

A weird case of an aggressor crying that he is being assaulted, and hoping that will prevent the 'foolish' victim from seeking redress.

Joe IGBOKWE is a commissioner in Lagos o...Federal character

Go and become one yourself. Abi your legs are broken or are you forbidden from becoming one.

You guys talk like people without exposure.
Go to bauchi, Kano, kwara…. Go to all parts of Nigeria and you will count thousands of igbos with houses and shops but the same can’t be said of other regions. During my NYSC in Bauchi state, you will see igbos with their plazas and houses scattered all over the state ,everywhere but you can’t say that to others.

Joe igbokwe and likewise somany igbos has been actively involved in politics in Lagos from ages despite the obvious tribalism. You are not doing them a favour!.
It takes guts to buy form and contest elections in a toxic environment.

Do you think igbos really care about you joining their politics?…. Nobody cares.
Tribalism is what you guys breath … nothing else. See how you guys wants to create tribalism in an innocent list.

No one forbids you guys from buying forms from political parties.l and contesting with your money. Are you the one that borrowed them the money to contest?.

Igbos are all over Nigeria buying properties, building houses and risking their lives to join politics and you stay in your house to write nonsense. Nonsense

Name one Yoruba investment in Abia

If Yoruba had 10% of Igbo investment in Lagos in Abia they can easily become governor

Have igbos only votes for any Igbo man 95% ? Is that not how igbos vote?

In fact you were so sure of Igbo libra nature you banked on it thinking they would leave obi to vote atiku because they have left their sons several times to vote others

Now their son was the best candidate and they voted him it's tribalism?

Dont worry,when we get a ministry of skull mining and ritual in Abia,it will surely be headed by a Yoruba

Tinubu's special advisers are all yorubas, 21 out of 28 security heads are all yorubas in a country of about 350 ethnic groups

He has already ignored the Federal character that is boldly captured in the constitution of the country, his predecessor whom you so much adore did worst than him

They should appoint you from your hole in osun state . Joe igbokwe lives and does his business in Lagos. If u want to participate in governance of any state despite ur state of origin. You live and partispate in local politics of that state. You can't reap where you did not sow.

I disagree with you on this.

Dem yapa for Lastma and councils. What of state schools? Igbos make up over 30% of primary and secondary school teachers in Lagos.

Lets not even mention the state tertiary institutions. Yorubas are more Liberal than every other tribe.

My current coy here in PH is owned by a Yoruba man and Igbos dominate the entire company. Infact, people from Rivers and neighbouring states like Bayelsa & Akwa-Ibom no even reach 20% of the total workforce.

I love Igbos but the vast majority of you folks complain too much which is a turn off to your hosts. Learn to be appreciative.

Lagos is a no man's land collectively owned by all. When the right time reaches Lagos will be shared collectively. Just like Abuja the appointments are distributed around all tribes. You cant see an Hausa man ruling in typical Yoruba state like Ondo abi ekiti

Lower ur noise against the igbos
