Domination In 1960's And Modern Nigeria by Sergio101(op): 8:59am On Sep 16, 2023
So I was going through this thread.....I had to pause and think how we got to this

https://www.nairaland.com/7842411/yourbanization-way-forward-administration

Prior the 1966 coup, Eastern Nigeria and majorly igbos were castigated so much by other Nigerians that they are dominating in government office/posts (which was actually based on competence as at then because there's still fresh breaths of white men's orderliness).

The northern Nigeria were finding it hard to compete with the southern Nigeria because things were based on brains and competence.

This grew a strong hatred towards igbos which till today, it's still in the lips of many Nigerians that "igbos always dominate and are gready"
If you read or watched "half the yellow sun", you will understand how this event played. That during the pogrom..... speaking Igbo alone in government office as a worker warrants your death.

Now today.......a certain tribe is making a full domination unapologetically. Not even out of competence but under the shield that "I can only appoint someone I trust around my table"

And to all of us...... it's nothing bad after all. The funny thing is that some of the major monickers in politics section accusing igbos of domination over the years are the ones that defends this modern domination to the core.

Which way Naija??

It's simply because they're competent.

But the tribe that did it before were the bad guys right?

You justify it then that they were competent.

Can you tell is who is not competent among the names you listed or who among your own tribe is more competent?!
