Lets be sincere , the army never really promotes Igbos.
If they do they give them useless posts.

Since Igbos are not liked, why do people want them in the same country?

MemphitzDgreat1:

Don't ask Nairaland members for contact details (email, phone, bbpin) or investments


Seun what is bbpin still doing up there. Is this why some people say that naturaland has refused to grow and evolve? Nobody has bbpin in 2025.

Ask yourself are there many igbos in the Army to start with? The other time, Frank Mba had to hurriedly promoted from ACP till he gets to DIG just to fill in the SE gap at the top of the Police ranking.
Even during the last recruitment exercise, one of the SE governors came out to complain about the low show of interest by his people.
So who do we blame? The institution or your people? Look in the mirror for the answer

When Funke Olakurin, daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti was murdered instead of Bola Tinubu to make sure that the perpetrators were brought to book, he ended up making fun of the death of the young lady by turning everything into tribalism by showing his hates for Igbos.


Tinubu has never spoken against the deadly activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country

The same stand Adeyinka Grandson gave on the death of Fasoranti's daughter is where Tinubu, the leader of the Yoruba Conservatives stands. Please see Tinubu's video below. pic.twitter.com/COhiSvabqW

Mrs Olakunrin died of gunshot wounds in July 2019 after her vehicle was attacked by armed men, suspected to be marauding Fulani bandits whose violent activities had reached a frightening level across the southwest states.


Those arrested suspects include Lawal Mazaje, 40, from Felele area of Kogi State; Adamu Adamu, 50, from Jada area of Adamawa State; Mohammed Usman, 26, from Illela area of Sokoto State and Auwal Abubakar, 25, from Shinkafi area of Zamfara State....

However, the leader of the team, identified only as Tambaya, and three others are yet to be found.

Tambaya has been declared wanted by the police and he is said to be capable of communicating in Hausa, Fulfude and Pidgin English.
