You are lying. The president is discriminating against those not from his region, religion, tribe and political party in his appointments, dealings, including in his so called fight against corruption. It may not be connected with the 2015 presidential elections but the facts on ground is that hed is a sectional leader. The most annoying thing is thst he keeps on chorusing that the unity of the country is not negotiable when his actions are divisive more than unifying. You are comfortable with that because it is favouring your people, isn't it? If you sincerely believe the president is being fair to all, then may the way the president of Nigeria is treating the Southeast region in particular be your portion anywhere you go and in whatever you do. Please say AMEN to prove to the world that you are sincere. NOTE: My motive is not pray a bad prayer for you. If you are honest and refuse to support injustice any more, then the way the president is treating the Southeast in Nigeria will not be your portion I J N,

The liar is the one that still cannot substantiate his claim with verifiable evidence but relies on presumptions, assumptions, innuendos, rhetoric, conjectures and any thing other the truth backed by bare facts - continue deceiving yourself.

I thought you would say Amen but you didn't. You know the truth. There is nothing hidden about president Buhari's appointments, projects, priorities, body language and dealings since he was sworn in as president: All but two of the highest ranking military chiefs are northern Moslems, including the Minister Of Defence, the Minister of Interior, the Chief of Army Staff, the Chief Security Adviser, the Inspector- General of Police etc - none is from the Southeast. Virtually all the most sensitive, influential and lucrative positions are controlled by northern Moslems with a few reserved for the Southwest. What about the Secretary to the Federal Government, the INEC Chairman, the EFCC Chairman, Minister of Petroleum Resources (who doubles as the president), the Minister of the Federal Capital GMD NNPC, the Accountant General of the Federation, Comptroller General of Customs etc. There was unexplainable delay in the confirmation of the current Chief Justice of Nigeria who happens to come from the South south causing needless tension until the providential emergence of an Acting President who took the bull by the horn. What about the external appointments that a sitting president influences one way or the other?: the UN Deputy Secretary General, the OPEC Secretary General- all from the Moslem north. Recall that one was recommended by the presidency for the African Union top position but did not win - also from the Nigerian Moslem North. Are all these coincidences? So none of the Southerners who happen to be more educated is eligible for any of these positions? What of the quota system of admission into Unity Schools whereby a child from Anambra or Ekiti is required to score 70 plus to gain admission while a child from Katsina or Zamfara can score less than 5 and get admission to the same school! Ditto with Universities. (This has been in practise for several years though it was not kick started by this current government). Yet when it comes to employment and government appointments, products of quota system are preferred! What of the Northeast Development Commission that is in place barely 7 years after Boko Haram boys destroyed their own place themselves whereas the Southeast that was destroyed by the Civil war from externak aggressors for more than 40 years has not been repaired despite Gowon's proposed three Rs. This is not to talk of the 2014 Confab Report that favours restructuring so that there can be fairness and more even development which the present government is reluctant to implement apparently because the status quo favours the North. This present government is glaringly favouring the North to the detriment of the South in several ways. There is no presumptions or assumptions, conjectures or innuendos about these takes of discrimination. It is real. This government is setting a precedent. I hope you will not complain when it becomes the other way round. Thanks.

The confused one, how are ya?

Just like I thought; exactly the trick you ppl use to deceive the gullible among you through distortion of the realities on the ground, because you already know that those you will sell these lies to are too lazy to bother to cross check.

So you think by just picking a few of the appointed positions to make an example is sufficient proof enough to justify your claim - how childish and myopic; do you think everybody is that gullible?

If you really wanted to be fair and honest, you would have provided the list of all the appoint-able positions, side by side with the list of who the president appointed along with a break down of their tribes/regions, to show how the Igbos were left out and marginalised by this administration.

Once again, I challenge you to prove otherwise - pls do the needful.

Your other point concerning quota system pertaining to school admission and employment are not relevant to the present argument; so I set them aside for now and not address them.

I thought your desire is to prove me wrong - that the president of our country, who made the famous quote 'I belong to everybody, I belong to nobody' is really not marginalizing any group. Of course, each of the Southeast States has a Minister according to constitutional requirements - Foreign Affairs (Enugu), Labour and Productivity (Anambra), Trade and Investment (Abia), Science and Technology (Ebonyi), Minister of State for Education (Imo) and the one given to Mr Joe Igbokwe (the Lagos State APC Spokesman). Aside that, there may be one or two other appointments (please I stand to be corrected). I make bold to say that the marginalization of the Igbos or the Southeast did not start today. They voted massively for former presidents Obasanjo and Yardua and what did they get compared to other major tribes? Yes, the CBN Governorship of Charles Soludo and the Ministry of Finance of Okonjo-Iweala who was later transferred (or demoted to Foreign Affairs) upon which she resigned. It was actually during Jonathan's administration that the Igbos got dome sense of belonging in appointments, though not in infrastructural development. The Igbo's have been the proverbial endangered species in Nigeria. So it is not peculiar to this administration. I understand that the Igbos massively supported Jonathan and rejected Buhari just like the Yorubas did to their kin Obasanjo in 1999 and the core North did to Goodluck Jonathan in 2011 and almost throughout his administration. I learnt, rightly or wrongly that some people hardly forgive either by their nature, upbringing, tribe or religion. President Muhammad Buhari is in charge and he has the right to do whatsoever he wants with the power given to him through popular votes. He also has the prerogative to appoint whosoever he wants into whatever position. Hoqever, my candid advice to him is that he should not abuse power or use it to victimize anybody or group for their dissenting views. If he wants to fight any societal ill, he should make it wholesome without partiality or with political motive. The country is seriously divided. If he really desires the peaceful coexistence and unity of this heterogeneous nation, he should as much as possible eschew tribalism, religious bigotry and every other form of discrimination.There is nothing anybody will do that everybody will applaud, but the president should remember that power is transient. May the Almighty God help our amiable president to do the right thing, take the country to the promised land and carve his name in gold I J N,

You guys are incorrigibly dishonest; see as how you have been going around in circles, beating around the bush without actually substantiating your allegations.

The onus is now on you to provide proof to back up your claim that Igbos are being marginalised; remember, you were to provide a full list of all the appointments for comparative analysis so that everybody can see and judge for themselves.

However, as expected you cannot come up with the required evidence because as we know it doesn't exist; this clearly goes to show that you and your ilk are only spreading rumours and propaganda against the government and the president in order to justify your natural hatred for him and what he stands for.

Go on, keep spreading lies and hate; what you sow now is what you will reap; sooner or later all the insults, lies and hate will get back to you with accrued interest- Kanu is already seeing to that; your ppl are already slowly turning themselves into the most repugnant and disliked tribe in the country.
