The SW has been using igbos to play thr game.This will change in 2027 to remove the SW president. Nothing can stop it

Why did the Igbo's also allow themselves to be used by others?

I think we need to disabuse our mind over these tribal/ethnic sentiments and baitings..

Out of 300+ tribes in Nigeria, the North (comprosing North West, North East and Middle Belt) have about 180 ethnic groups or more.

South (comprising South West, South South and South East) has about 120 ethnic groups or more.. the Igbos are just 1 out of the 120 + ethnic groups in the South, so why will anyone expect PBAT to be appointing only Igbos into every position?.

The Northerners all have similar pattern of naming children, that's why you will keep seeing similar names and think it's only 1 tribe PBAT is giving appointments which is not true.. even some Yoruba sounding names are from Kogi and Kwara States lumped into Middle Belt.

If you want to see people that are marginalized, go to Taraba where you'll find the jukun ethnic group or Gombe, Adamawa etc.. Igbos should go and take several seats and allow us hear word.

EXOUSIAng:
19 states in the North
5 states in the East

I think its only a mentally ill person that should expect things to be shared in the same percentage especially when those from the 5 states have made themselves an enemy of the North and their fellow southerners....

The north will always have the higher share.

Lets not even talk about what this 5states are
bringing to the national treasury....

Or should we talk about the fact that these 5states are less than some northern states in Land mass and that each northern state can still be broken into 3 additional state each?

You may argue that its not about landmass.

But you know the reality





The North has a higher percentage in the total number of states. If I was dealing with the Yorubas or, Ijaw who are actually known for having a higher IQ I would have expected these comments to tell us how the North with 19 states who actually contribute more to the National treasury and also feed most of the country is expected to get exactly what the SE with 5states get, but you are the set of people who dont even know their 123 which is why you a call everyone with a few thousands and a car a billionaire.
Even if we say we give 1 per state the SE wants to get 19 ministers because the North will get 19 ministers at 1minister per state.
I think its regional mental problem


This is yet another thing I forgot to mention...
This your foul mouth is the reason why even when you are qualified for a position you dont get it, but it think its insulting people upandan, bragging and making noise is a part of the Igbo cultural heritage anyways....

Anyone with a brain as small as that of a rat would know that when he has problems with everyone around him, from the south, to the north to the west, he most definitely is the major problem.....
Nobody hates the igbos, people just hate this your character

Going by your warped analysis, the north should have the greatest representation than any other region. Now tell me, why is the SW having the lion's share in federal appointments? Is the SW greater than the north in population and landmass? Systemic discrimination and marginalization exist in our country. No nation can prosper under such a situation. The present state of things in the polity attests to that. Water will always find its level in due course

The north contributes zero to the nations revenue. They get grants from FG to farm. Then they sell the farm produce. The grants comes from Niger Delta oil. Niger Delta feeds the north

Allee90:
The illiterate North always benefits more than any other Tribe/Region. This contraption must end now. Even the druggie is always afraid to hurt them. This is the reason why I hate democracy, it always favors the majority illiterates. Nonsense

You no do state and capital for Nursery school? How many northern states you dey see?

Let's say you are an employer, and you want to recruit one person from each state, the North with 19 states will end up having 19 employees in your company while SE with just 5 states will have just 5 employees in your company. Now tell me, how can 5 people win 19 people?


SE should start by making peace with their fellow brethren down south fes. Na the fes step be that. All this crying here and there won't be of any help. You don't have the number, so make peace with others so that they can support you.

Even if you say you want Biafra as it is like this, U are not even in good term with other southerners who could at least lend their support to you.

Make friends, build alliance with others.

The worst aspect of Igbo marginalization is taking the sixth state of the southeast region to make a 7th state in the NW region.
Land mass is never used as criterion to proliferate too many states in an area with large land mass in a country formed by diverse regions.

EmeeNaka:
The writer would have made sense if he didn't appear to be an apologist of IPOB-ESN terrorists and Simon Ekpa led terrorist group.

Your Nigerian led Federal government is the terrorist here and you o yes supporters. Igbos said they want to be on their own, una say no.

Olabest911:
Play your political without sentiment.
INEC don't count emotion, they count votes.

If you were Tinubu would you be romancing SE when you did not and will not get votes from the region? Politics is a game of number.
Form a bigger party and bring out Obi or Atiku

I pity Nigerians that think the issue is tribal. It is a class war.

When it comes to marginalisation; the Igbo elites are marginalised and are being secluded from the table where the national treasure is being stolen. The Hausa and Fulani and Yoruba politicians have direct access to the loath, whereas the Igbo politicians are being sidelined and have the least stolen money to absorbed the cost of living and to drive around with state security services.

Please note, not the Igbo people but the Igbo elites.

But when it comes to the ordinary Nigerians everyone is being marginalised equally. Income is the same across the country, cost of living and insecurity is affecting everyone equally. Health care is terrible across board and public education is below standard across the country

kedeojo:
I taught they said Tinubu is not their president. Why asking for appointment after so much hatred. Most of this people are just hypocrites.

Ask your federal government to remove his hand on anything south east. Let's govern ourselves. We no want one Nigeria

Let have full fiscal federalism where there's 100% resource control and each state contributes an agreed percentage say like 15% to run the federal government. Thats what other federation do and thats the fair thing to do.

Ijaw marginalization no matter? Tiv, Igala, Ogoni, Ikwerre, Ibiobio, Efik, Nupe, Idoma etc.

dynicks:
They are coming.....Yeah u know the set of people..!!

Helinues and yarimo is coming 🤣😂

North don’t care😎

Anytime Igbos complain of marginalization, you Nigerians always give excuses. Now, you'll say its because of Ipob. Ipob came few years ago but you've been marginalizing Igbos since 1966

EmeeNaka:

You play too much. Know when to be serious

lagonovo:
Sentiment aside, Oyo is marginalized too though they don't talk about it. Oyo competes in size with the entire Igbo land and it's just one of several states in the South West. Yet, Oyo has just one governor and just 3 senators while Igbo land has several governors and numerous senators. That is marginalization.

With this analysis of yours,why is the north the only region against true federalism, resources control and total restructure? Why are you the only region afraid of disintegration?

They benefit more than the little they contribute

smartlad:
can you state where the north benefits more from the other regions?

Fact

ValarDoharis:
You play too much. Know when to be serious

Valyrian Freehold! I agree I play too much but on this matter, I'm serious. Oyo is marginalized!

ednut1:
You cant be marginalized in a country and still control / major stakeholder in trade and commerce in virtually every state of the country . This man na trouble maker lol. Is it only igbo land that people based in lagos become governors or legislators? Makinde, adeleke, abiodun in the south west are all lagos based , same with other states that are abuja and lagos based too


Shebi Tinubu has appointed many Yorubas but majority of our people are still hungry and dying in rice/giveaway stampedes. So wetin be the gain gan gan?

Bro they ain't talking about personal or private endeavours,they be talking of national federal govt spread and they are very correct....all regions should be carried along in the scheme of things as far as the federal govt is concerned....

DEI does not exist in Nigeria

It’s strictly merit based.

No one is marginalizing anyone.

See as Nigeria de sweet this one. Igbophobia.

Walk out into other functioning countries and see what a country looks like.
You lack sense to understand that by undermining one of the three major ethnic groups in Nigeria, the country can never progress.

You excitingly quote 19 states in the north. Who created the states? What criterion was used to make one region of a country become 19 federating units and Abuja, while the 2 other regions are left with 17 federating units. You foolishly believe it's fair to use land mass or population figures as yardstick to multiple one northern region but reduce the political representation for the other two regions; assuming you know that Nigeria was formed by three regions in 1960.

, The writer wants Warri Port,Calabar port, Port Harcourt port, They keep shouting eastern region, dude that schematics are gone, Well just have an Ibo president and all will be square,Then we have democracy and INEC,Wata Bam Bam, equality, fairness and justice don't hold in Nigeria,

Then let Oyo speak! Oyo marginalization cannot be used as a reaction to Igbo marginalization.

Igbos have the highest number of states per capita. The SW and the NW have the lowest and federal projects are cited according to states. The only thing Igbo is missing is Presidency and if Nigeria does not break up they will get it but hopefully the country will break up for everybody to go and develop their land in peace

[God bless you real good.

quote author=aspabay post=133974880]Employee one person from each region

North will have 19
SW will have 6
SS will have 7
SE will have 5

Yet SE will claim marginalisation.


During GEJ era SS and SE were having all the appointments, where was this olodo native doctor that time. The SW kept quite and strategised on how to get back to the Center.

A typical IPOB analysis for Biafrans digestion.

I feel we Igbos should just adopt the minority mentality like the smaller tribes because that will keep us away from all these online battles.

Then we can sit back and enjoy the battle between the North and the West.

Since 1966?
As at 1966, the Head of State was igbo. How come you say they've been marginalised since 1966?
