What do the biafrans have to. Say now?

EasternLeopard:


SEUN hide this post

This is one of those guys who stir up the Biafrans to fight back

biodunid:
This is about surfacing the real facts about naija so we know those who are truly marginalised instead of the loudest wailers getting further undeserved concessions from those already downtrodden. Let IPOB come out with its counter facts.

baby124:

You must be drunk this morning. Lmao. 10%? Buhahahha. I can't even argue with you. It will be pointless.

Willymani:
I hope the biafrans are reading this

PassingShot:
Lagos with just 2180 is surprising.
Imo with over 5000 FG civil servants is eye opening.

Generally, more FG civil servants in the South than in the North (averagely speaking). Yet we all brag that those Nortgerners only rely on FG.

If fewer of them work with the government, does it not tell us majority fend for themselves? If anything, it's their politicians and leaders who enjoy the largesse while the commoners bear the brunt of poor leadership, same as majority of Nigerians.

AnanseK:


And the wailing easterners will say they are marginalized.

I can't wait for them to go to Biafra so that Nigerians can fill in those positions.

webtroller:

I'm trying to get it for you.what's it for anyway.

StOla:
So all these poeple who are falsely crying about marginalisation would finally lose the jobs they claim not to have?

No wonder many do not want to return to Biafra.

Even Kanu will wish he had remained in UK instead of coming to Nigeria and receiving the DSS hospitality.

Biafrans should bury their heads in shame.

dabossman:


The North is bound to have more people in the Forces, but it is not because of any fault of theirs. The truth is most of us from the South (SW, SE, SS) would not readily join the armed forces. We feel we are too educated and too sophisticated for that. I know of a few people whose families actually barred and strongly discouraged from joining the NDA after they finished secondary school, not to now talk of finishing higher education and saying you want to join Army, Navy, Customs etc. They will just call a family meeting on your case.

The reverse is the case in the North though. They consider the armed forces as a place of prestige. Also, the less educated can easily get into the Armed forces, and you will agree that the North is under-educated. It is only now because of the high rate of unemployment that people from the South are now considering the Forces as a means of steady income.

Monalisa185:


what are you talking about?

have you lived in the North before?

how many northeners are averagely educated?

do you know how those guys are begged to at least go to school over there?

when I was there, junior class, they beg them to go to school with a cup of tea...

so they should be employed without any form of education at all?

I'm not sure you thought or researched before typing...

Chigold101:
most times we tend to write without looking to the reasons.
It was aftermath of the civil war that made southerners especially Igbos to be less in the military. It was not written in any book, but because from Gowon to Abdulsalami the north control the military and they recruit more of their own also it is easier for a northner to gain admission into NDA than those from the south.
If you graduate at the same time with northern same day. Soon he will be rapidly promoted while you will still be where you were.tha
It is hard to survive in the force as a Southerner than a Northerner

PassingShot:

Tell us the population of real Lagosians.

chesterlee:


How many graduates can you find in a state like Zamfara or Kebbi?

The issue is that most of their few graduates get the Job automatically without stress...While the same can't be said about States in the South

Lusola15:
89000 civil servant for a population of 170million. Plz does dis include d NA. NAF. NN. Police and other para or just core civil servant

Is okey

Brugge:

ubecharles:
Misleading writeup by fake mutum. Kano and Lagos state with their population of over 10million each don't have up to 5000 federal civil servants? When it comes to census they apportion bogus numbers to them.

monex:

i dont know but the lagos census population includes me even if i am not from lagos.

i hope you get my point sha about why the lagos numbers are small. lagosians appear in the ogun ondo osun oyo imo anambra enugu edo delta etc. numbers you see

porshuch:
yes o ! I don't want Biafra, with what I hv acquired already in Nigeria. Abeg I no fit start my life afresh becos of this Biafra. Nke mmadu ibidokwa uwa Na isi maka Biafra.

I will say it again,
Biafra agitators are ppl without bearing.( ndi owuite( broke ppl))

LadyExcellency:
List their State of residence where they pay taxes and contribute to the development not where they have probably visited and touched in not more than a year of their lives on earth.

ubecharles:
Marginalization of the north my foot. This shows that those who claim to have population of over 10million only do so to lay claim to larger share of national cake e.g Kano with about 44 LGAs

PassingShot:

Will true Lagosians have been less than Imolites in population?

Ghost01:
The term "civil service", in administrative parlance, refers only to the Ministries and offices like that of the HOS. Hence, civil servants are those who work directly in ministries. While a policeman, an immigration officer, an NNPC employees and a Customs officer are all government employees, they are public servants, not civil servants. The federal workforce is larger than what is cited in the original post. It covers only the federal civil service.
