Buhari, pls have mercy on Igbos; they are your children...

People are seriously dying of political hypertension in South East as a result of their ignorance and stupidity @ last election.

See them like prodigal son....

However, if you are to appoint any Igbo man into your cabinet, let the Igbo man come from Anambra state(Anambranians are the 1st class Igbos and the rest are just ordinary Igbos). I can assure you Sir Buhari, that if the appointment goes to Anambranian, the rest would keep their mouth shut.

My brother u just said the Gospel truth but unfortunately ur people will call u a Yoruba man for educating them. I am true born Niger Delta man the Igbos are becoming annoying on social media why hating other region u hated us the Niger Deltans, hate the Yorubas even hate the Hausas, hate the Middle beltans. From my observation u hate the 5 oda region of Nigeria. SS,NW,SW,NC and NE. My dear Igbos do not not cry more than the berived the SS, I urge u guys to work on urself u can go anywhere with such hatred and acrimony. My honourable submission kudos to @ Chukwuemerie

My Igbo brothers that are killing themselves about the
appointments made so far by President Buhari are
just funny. Aside the fact that we Igbos shouldn’t
expect sensitive appointments from him because
many of us hate him without any justifiable
reason and no smart politician will give such
positions to his ‘enemies’, what did all our
brothers that occupied sensitive positions recently
achieved for our geopolitical zone? Recall that
Igbos recently occupied head positions in Central
Bank and Ministry of Finance. Also, an Igbo was
recently appointed Secretary to Government of the
federation, Minister of power, Minister of Solid
Minerals, Head of Due Process unit, Minister of
Education, Minister of Aviation, Executive Director
of Nigerian Communications Commission, Chief of
Army Staff, Inspector General of Police, Senate
President, Deputy Senate President and Deputy
speaker of house of Representatives. Also
recently, an Igbo was appointed the Director
General of National Broadcasting Commission.
The question is what did all those Igbo
appointees achieved for Ndi Igbo? Even Goodluck
Jonathan that you foolishly accepted as your
brother during his days in Aso Rock achieved
nothing for you when he was the President. If
appointments can dictate how a region should
develop, Southeast would have been a paradise
by now because our brothers occupied almost all
the sensitive positions recently. Another thing
Igbos should understand is that the federal
character principle they are quoting as their basis
of argument is the greatest enemy of Nigeria
especially Igbos. This principle champions the
promotion of tribal mindsets instead of
meritocracy in Nigeria as Nigerians are always
after the state of origin of every federal appointee
and prospective candidates for admissions
instead of their performance. It is because of
same federal character that a provision was made
for ‘Education less developed’ states which
always make it possible for indigenes of those
states to be giving more and cheaper
consideration during admissions and recruitment
in order to promote equity in line with the federal
character. This is Rubbish! Such has caused
situations whereby somebody from Anambra or
Imo will score average of about 260 in JAMB
UTME and POST- UTME but will be denied
admission while somebody from states like
Zamfara, Ebonyi or Bayelsa will score average of
about180 and will be admitted in order to achieve
the so called equity in intellectual distribution
among all the states in line with same federal
character. Same federal character is the reason
why instead of criticising the performance ability
of appointees, Nigerians especially Igbos will only
be interested in their states of origin. Federal
character is evil. This is the hour of change and it
must be jettisoned! If Nigeria must progress, we
must do away with federal character and state of
origin provisions and encourage meritocracy and
state of residence. I don’t care where appointees
come from, all I want is excellent performance. If
the wailing Igbos like they should continue hating
Buhari while the Niger-Deltans are busy
consolidating their region and supporting his
government. At last Igbos will remain the wailing
loosers. It baffles me the way some of my Igbo
brothers are hating Buhari without any justifiable
reason. Even the Niger-Deltans that are more
closer to the failed government of Goodluck
Jonathan always acknowledge that he betrayed
them, but the Igbos that are not in any way
brothers to the failed President are killing
themselves and even their conscience with
baseless sentiments. Also, I have expected these
misguided Igbos to understand that the Niger-
Deltans who they foolishly took as their brothers
during the elections are not at any point with
them. These Niger-Deltans have understood that
they can't make any political achievement in
Nigeria without the cooperation of other tribes,
and wisely began to issue their supports and
cooperation to the Buhari led government while
the misguided Igbos are still enslaving themselves
with baseless sentiments. Believe it or not,
political appointments are catalysed by intelligent
lobbying and not unnecessary hatred. No smart
politician will appoint his haters to sensitive
positions. I will never blame Buhari if he fails to
appoint any Igbo to key positions. I am proud of
Niger-Deltans and they are already reaping the
fruits of their wisdom.
Igbos should have a rethink!

I read this from an online forum, Huffingtonpost.com and want to share it here. What are your thoughts on this?



The only remedy to this unfortunate 'tragedy of the commons' is for the governments at all levels to come out forcefully and enforce the
rules of law, that is there must be established grazing reserves in all the States of the Federation as well as cattle routes where the cattle can have a right of way to reach the reserves so created. This then calls for the understanding of the local people who always encroach on these routes and reserves by claiming that the land was theirs and nobody has the right to use them. There was no such conflict during the Sardauna period because he made sure that all the two parties - the cattle rearers and the farmers - respected the law.
