The Convener of the Coalition of Northern Politicians, Academics, Professionals and Businessmen, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, has dismissed the sentiments shared by a former Governor of Anambra State that the Igbo have not been treated fairly in the governance of Nigeria.

Ezeife had argued that President Muhammadu Buhari’s appointment of Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, who hails from the Igbo-speaking part of Delta State, to head the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, was not enough to satisfy the South-East.

But in an interview with our correspondent on Friday, Mohammed criticised Ezeife, insisting that people of the Igbo nation have enjoyed favourable treatment.

He added it was wrong to reward the Igbo simply on the basis of the Nigerian Civil War, which lasted between 1967 and 1970.

Mohammed said, “If it is about Buhari making the appointments based on merit, I have no problems with it. I don’t believe Buhari or Nigeria owes any Igbo anything. I don’t care what Ezeife says; if they had seceded, there would have been no Nigeria today. As people who acted outside the interest of Nigeria as a country, to expect compensation is a very odd logic.

“If the Igbo don’t like it, they can attempt secession again. If they do, they must be prepared to live with the consequences. Nobody owes them anything and nobody is out to compensate them for anything.”

The doctor-turned-politician also condemned claims that Buhari’s appointment of northerners into key positions in government was done out of ethnic sentiment.

He said, “They (critics) should tell us which ethnic groups have been favoured by Buhari in the course of making his appointments in parastatals and agencies. Those who are making those allegations, particularly the Igbo, have not told us exactly which parastatals.

“For example, an Igbo man has just been appointed as the head of the NNPC, one of the most important government agencies in Nigeria. And over 50 per cent of those appointed before him were also Igbos. So, if people decide to be mischievous, there is nothing anybody can do about it. As far as I am concerned, those appointed have been good and credible persons.”

On reports that Buhari may head the petroleum ministry for the next 18 months, the northern leader stated that there was no living Nigerian at that public level who knew as much about the ministry as Buhari.

According to Mohammed, there is full justification for Buhari to be petroleum minister for as long as he desires.

He added, “Moreover, the consequences of what happens in the oil ministry are so dire. When one looks at the track record of the past minister, one can see what we have to deal with as a country as a result of her being made a minister.

“In fact, I encourage him to retain the defence ministry because we are in a state of war and he is a distinguished retired general who has headed every single division of the Nigerian Army during his service. If he decides to be the defence minister, I would be more than glad.”

Did he just say Igbos can try secession again if they want? What sort of leaders do we have in this country?
I may not be SE Igbo but statements like this are better off not made. There's a lot of tension in this country right now and it would've bn better if he didn't reply at all than this

I've said it before that if I were a leader, If rather consult my worst critics on certain issues than surround myself with those that always sing my praise no matter what I do. Buhari has made some moves that are clearly wrong by all standards but these sycophants don't seem to see any.

And history will keep repeating itself.smh
Same sycophants that ruined Jonathan's government have defected to APC today

I've tried to stay away from commenting on politics section but I don't think it's right not to lend my small voice to very sensitive issues

If you love this administration, just tell Buhari the truth even when it hurts. If we don't, then you've collectively set him up to fail.

If only Britain and Soviet union had remained neutral

Aunty Susan, why are you taking panadol for this kind of headache? The Igbo people want their own country. It is called Biafra. Did anyone tell you, they are interested in Nigeria?? Haba! Don't turn back the clock for them, oh.

I'm not worried about Igbos n Biafra as much as I'm worried about Buhari making the right decisions as a leader. People around him are not telling him the truth and it's worrisome

This gworo-chewing loudmouth quota system "Dr" junaid should shut his mouth for once, lest he swallows flies. i know he has almajiri slaves. If Igbos could survive all the neglect of fulani military junta for 40 years, i don't know why they can't survive for 4 years in a democracy. Mr Junaid i say to you Go to hell!


**modified** yoruba will come here and praise the gworo chwewing junaid forgetting that he once threatened that yoruba will never take illorin away from the fulani, in the event of a break up. Guys, just sit back and watch yoruba slavery in 3D.

Even though Junaid was somewhat brash, all he spoke is the truth.

It is important Ibos are constantly reminded the that they have been undermining our nationhood since independence, and will only be taken seriously once they shun their empty arrogance, irritating self-centeredness, and baseless sense of entitlement in the interest of unity, and fully join hands in our national development.

While regions that produce the bulk of crude oil and agriculture which are the mainstay of our economy unite and stay calm, those that migrate and trade, earning a living from their hosts keep fostering hatred, division and enmity. What other results do they expect?

Nigeria owes Ibos nothing.

Madam, bother not, the zoo is going down. We Biafrans thank Chukwu Abiama for extremists like Buhari and Junaid Moh'd. It helps our cause a lot. Extremism shall meet extremism. The one with animal intellect will bow to the one with Superior intellect. Zoogeria is gone, it CAN NOT BE REDEEMED. The coming months will be very interesting. I reserve my pity for Igbos who still believe in the ZOO.

U are very stupid can't u be a sensible igbo person for once in ur life must u always insult the yoruba, the speaker is Hausa deal with that idiot, u are lucky u have not met a tough yoruba like me on a neutral ground

There you have it....... So who does Buhari owe something? .the 97% I guess.

Buhari and his friends have continually dug a ditch around themselves.

In today's Nigeria where there is little identity data, poor military intelligence, unsecured borders, heightened religious intolerance, unprecedented ethnocentrism, over-dependence on crude oil resources even in far away sokoto, bokoharam onslaught and increased awareness and divisions across regional divides .........

Buhari has threaded the wrong path so far and have continually spoken through his proxies believing he is exonerated.

Nigeria as a united nation has no future. .. kapish

He really just doesn't like us . It's cool old man. I won't hold this against the north. My interactions on a daily basis show me he is a lone fool with few followers. Most of us want to live and let live while do better for the next generations coming after us. He can keep pushing his hatred of my people (Igbo) but his people (Hausa) are still my people (Black). He is fighting a battle he can't win. We are too black, too strong and too smart. He'll soon be up outta here.

If only you had an ounce of respect for yourself you wouldn't be talking from your puny.
Bloody bit.ch!

NAIJASOM:
Today they threaten you to leave then tomorrow they threaten you not to leave. Nigeria is clearly not a real country.



I say okay i will stay and become Nigerian, then you get angry when i as a citizen buy nigerian land, and succeed in business. You tell me to go back to my land.

Then I say OK, I will go back to my land and form my own country where I can be respected as a citizen and human being. Then you get angry at me and call me a traitor and promise me genocide if I go.

What do you people want?

Mehn I tireooh. Honestly these things are becoming annoying. I was talking to a friend in Abuja the other day, and I told him if a second civil war should break out, Igbos should rather fight for their freedom or forever cease to exist. I do think that the way Nigeria is going break-up may be imminent.

Honestly the ethno-religious divide in Nigeria today is becoming too unbearable.

No wonder he's a Failed medical doctor.
Times have changed. If the war that was fought in 1967 was fought now, it will take a whole new dimension.

Well, nobody prays for war. If the igbos are to secede, it should be peaceful.

Instead of trying to cool down the already Hot polity, this failed doctor is spewing trash

Well the fact is PMB owes every Nigerian

Ask me what he owes us?

By virtue of his office as President,
1. He owes every Nigerian Good governance
2. Fulfilment of his electoral promises.
3. Entrenchment of the democratic ideals
4. Protection from foreign or local insurgents
5. Having the Interest of Nigerians at heart in every policy.

Either Igbo or not, government's touch must be felt in every nook and corner of the Nigerian state.

This is my humble submission.
