I read comments of people on this NL everytime. Ive been a silent member for a long period of time tho but when i see people make comments that are so senseless and insane i begin to wonder how much ignorance and deceit some people have been fed with for so long a time. Onyeka Onwenu jst gave a life testimony, are NLs not aware of the fact that what this woman says is truly what is happening in Nigeria federal ministries, agencies and parastatals?? Nls who dont know that Northeners in this country are d ones who have controlled all key positions in this country for many years should go and ask their prents and grndparents questions. Enlightened parents tho.! The northeners are solely responsible for the woes and downfall of this country. The northerners are solely responsible for the bokoharam retribution and scourge being unleashed upon them. #NoPity The northeners since inception of this Mirage we call Nigeria have always though and fought that ruling is their birth right as they call themselves #Caliphate #BornToRule the question is "born to rule where''? The north or Nigeria as a whole integration? Asides tribal sentiments and biase, Onyeka Onwenu is a matured woman who has been and seen how Nigeria has fared for a long time. Hausa Northerners killed nigeria. They are still killing Nigeria. They are more in the army, government, ministries, police, agencies, parastatals. They get the biggest FG contracts, appointments etc. So if you dont know this or aint aware of this, i advise u STFU! This country is nothing but a dream. A mirage! A hollywood movie directed by Britain that will end 1 day.

oyenka is someone I respect but she's lost that the moment she became tribalistic in her comments. she of all people should be that last to say such.she's never going to lead Nigerians again in any form especially with this childish comments ..

Exactly my issues with her statement, looks like some peeps from the south east just talk as if PMB or northerners will always be President forever, sometimes we forgot that its only God that can determine who will be in power if not Abacha should still be ruling us by now.

so because she vigorously campaigned against the president during elections era hence her sack letter. hmm,one of the reasons the zoo wants to revenge on her,notwithstanding,
Some of her colleagues may also harboured this statement in their minds.
African mentality seems to be the worst mentality to mankind including her unborn generation.
Instead of moving on with her roles in NCWD to build the system and let the bright and intellectuals run the system to another level, so that this cesspit called nigeria can grow up to know the importance of women in the societies. they refused and wants to slowed down her progress and vision for this nation.

I weep for nigerians.

You cant understand what she is saying until you work in Federal government agencies where mediocrity is promoted on the alter of tribe and nepotism. Like I said yesterday, many Northerners, (Few of my northerner friends are hard working) even in their states do not work yet collect salaries (Remember yesterday's story where 30 drivers collect salaries over one working car). Let us call a spade a spade, we cant grow as a country if our appointments are sentiment, religious and tribal based.
As an insider, our leaders need to wake up and stop pampering our brothers from disadvantaged states on mediocrity.

But in case you don't know, in the Nigeria civil service, the Ibos are more in number than any other tribe, so if you speak of mediocrity, tribalism and/or nepotism, you can not attribute it to a section of the country. Its unfortunate that people like you would not remove the logs in your own eyes but would attempt to remove a speck from another person's eye.

It's either the people that commented on this earlier did not read the writeup or they have comprehension problem.
I had the read the writeup for a second time to make sure I did not skip where she said she was sacked because she was Igbo but I didn't see that.
Make una drop una hatred sometimes and treat issues that are being raised in this country for the betterment of Nigeria. That is all I have to say.

I don't know if you read the article but if you did I'm sure you'd see that she didn't complain about being fired,from her words its actually freeing her up to go into her private endeavors.What she has a problem with though is the saboteurs with the ministry and parastatals which no one can deny.Or what else will you call destroying 3 GENS owned by the parastatal few hours to an oversight visit.I'm a Nigerian,I have friends from all around the country who like me don't care about tribe or regions but live like sensible and responsible human beings.But the idea of northerners feeling entitled in Nigeria has got to stop.We are all stake holders in this venture and should act as such.Nigeria belongs to everybody

Before her sack, did you know she was holding that position with the way she campaigned during the elections??

She left the fundamental issues and she's talking tribalism.

Mummy Onyeka, ordinarily you belong in the class of King Sunny Ade, Oliver de coque, Ebenezer Obey, etc. Because truly you are a veteran in the industry but unfortunately today, due to your greed and wanton desire for easy wealth, you have sold your integrity to the highest bidder and lost all respect that should be accorded a woman of your calibre. Today, I wouldn't even place you in the class of people like Vic-O, because at least, those people have something they stand for, for you madam, I'm yet to see exactly what your values are.

From supporting Babangida's tyrranical rule, to spearheading Abacha's "President for life" ambition, to licking Obasanjo's butt, Yaradua didn't have your time but you eventually wriggled your way into power again with GEJ and carried his failed reelection bid on your head like a pure water seller.

Right now you should just bow your head in shame please, and stop trying to whip up tribal sentiments because you lost a job given to you as compensation. Because if I ask you now, since you got into office, how have you been able to touch the life of the average Nigerian? You go dey look me like luqmon.

Please be gone! Nothing you or say willbchange the fact that you were disgraced out of office.

its clear that our generation needs to see and act beyond this attack him attack her mentality.
she mentioned salient points that pervade our civil service that need to be addressed
1. workers poor attitudes as backed by superiors
2. tribal sentiments disrupting the functioning of the civil service
3. senior civil servants not acting civil at all to one another
4. synergy not antagonism is required in and between ministries and parastatals

indeed where there is no vision, the people perish.
if our generation will bring change, please lets look deeper and each one to his own

Are we going to deny we do not know that in most parastatals a junior hausa/fulani is most relucyant tp take instructions from a southerner.

it's because your people won't create room for this due to their hostility towards visitors and strangers. In a situation whereby you want to build a filling station in the east and the community is asking you to join an indigen in the ownership, then you know why people can't develop your place. You don't even sell lands to outsiders. So what are we saying? Igbo in their place won't give people what they go outside to ask and they are easily given in such places.


BTW, can you graze on what the cattles graze on ? Do you eat grasses?
what do u think will happen if igbos re the one grazing thier cattles inside hausa fulani farm wont they call it infidel cattles?or will yoruba allow igbo to graze thier cattles in thier farm for free,who amongs u want to build filling station?u or ur father?and u went to igbo land they refuse to sell land to u,how did oando filling station get thier own land or how did glo get land to build thier mast,mr man if u want land u pay for land cus no where in nigeria where igbos get land for free,after paying for land u pay omo onile and ur here talking as u dash igbos land angry angry angry angry angry angry angry angry

SOMEONE TRIED TO ISSUE A FATWA AGAINST HER!!!! IS THAT THE ACTIONS OF A RATIONAL HUMAN??

That said, I'd like to hear the other side of the story before making up my mind.
Madam'a actions to me, is simply 'medicine after death'.
I believed she should have raised the issue of 'fatwa', against her immediately the incidence occurred
or probably, drag the actors to court for a threat on her life.
She would have received more sympathy and support from Nigerians if she has taken this step.
Her image would have soared higher if she had resigned her appointment, when a subordinate in her department, was sent abroad, without her knowledge.
That singular action would have gone a long way in addressing many of the injustices in the Federal civil service, and probably, some other unresolved issues in the country.

gerrarahia! I have been in the east, are your people any better? You cry marginalization, how many non-igbo have you integrated into your civil service in the east to show good example?

Throughout my stay in the east, I never saw even one street named after a non-igbo. The local government would rather leave the new street nameless and wait for an Igbo to buy land and apply. Even in their Federal Universities, non-igbos should forget about aspiring to higher positions cos the auhorities run the schools like State Institutions.

In their state civil service, non-igbos are virtually nonexistent. It is so bad that muslim igbos are victimized. Even Anglicans and Catholics have laughable discrimination issues. I have not even mentioned their politics. What non-indegenes often thrive upon is Entrepreneurship.

If you want to see real tribalism, go to the east. The reason they are quick to scream victimization is because they are so quick to victimize and marginalize other tribes. They think everyone is as clannish as they are.

I'm not surprised. They can be very petty and unwilling to reason with others. No other tribe can try this in their land yet they'll be flexing muscle in Yoruba land.
