If you rely only on Internet websites and on some Nigeria news media for information, you might get the impression that the Igbo are 8 ft tall; weigh 400 lbs; would break an iron rod on their knees; and would easily kill a tiger with their muscular hands. This is not true and never was. But to some Nigerians their reaction to an Igbo in position of power gives the impression that an Igbo can do anything that God can do. Consider the reactions to an Igbo presidency, to Okonjo-Iweala tenure as minister; to Diezani, etc. And to Army chief of Staff Ihejirika. The fear of Igbo domination is not a new fear and comes up even when there are no bases for it. There had not been an occasion when the Igbo dominated Nigeria or any part of Nigerian political or economic segment. NCNC was a political party that had significant Igbo membership but was not dominated by the Igbo, not in the sense of Yoruba in Action Group or Hausa/Fulani in NPC. There was powerful Yoruba presence in NCNC and with the alliance with NEPU significant Northern presence. One could not say the same for AG/UMBC alliance. Before the Civil War the Federal Government and Civil Service had significant Igbo presence but not a dominant position; not any more than the Yoruba or Hausa/Fulani. Even after one had classified all Easterners as Igbo. Even in Eastern Nigeria the dominant role was not true. There was a non Igbo government leader in Eastern Nigeria . There was never a non Yoruba leader in the West even though Midwestern Nigerians had minorities. There was never a non Hausa/Fulani Government Leader in the North even though there are many minority ethnic groups in the region. Why are the Igbo so feared? On the other hand there were many occasions when the Igbo had been marginalized. In the first 30 years after the Civil War there were no Igbo of any worthwhile rank in the Nigerian Armed Forces or police. Few headed any powerful ministries, or parastatals, or headed the civil services. The economy is now dominated by the Yoruba/Hausa/Fulani oligarchy and now one is complaining. After the indigenization decree nearly 60% of Nigerian economy was in the hands of Yoruba and there was no word from the Igbo or other Nigerians about domination. A review of the Federal Government foreign indebtedness from 1960-2007 shows that the East, especially the SE, was very poorly served. But all Nigerians paid for and are paying the loans. The only part of Nigerian life one would find Igbo domination is in the number of Nigerians who live outside their states of origin. There are more Igbo in this case than any other ethnic group. But these people moved on their own, are often engaged in petty trading or practicing some kind of trade funded by their sweat. There is no government handout involved and they do not work for any government. Why should anybody be envious? This essay was prompted by the insidious attacks on Chief of Staff Ihejirika. This writer had written in the past that non political appointments ought to be based solely on merits while political appointments would try to take into consideration the national character concept. I still hold this belief. But analyzing the recent army promotions and deployments, one sees that the national character concepts was very much in evidence. Could it be that in this instance the marginalization of the Igbo was not as obvious as in the past and therefore people are afraid that the Igbo might come back? There is nothing to fear. The Igbo had never dominated anything, are not planning to dominate anybody and would be unable to do so even if they tried. The Igbo is just like the rest of Nigerians. There are no 8 ft tall Igbo. |

Bruteforce101:OK ..what is tribalism about my submission stupid small imp |
cheruv:Dont worry ..thank you Dryer will do Handky can't handle my tears for you Lol |
size38:What about the Igbo in rivers cross river and delta so because they are now in Niger delta they are not Igbo again You see why I gave up on Nigerian education The way people reason is disturbing I know you will be ashamed of your tribe that is why you can't even call your tribe You must be ogoni or these not visible clans in the swamp |
cheruv:I am crying for you |
safarigirl:This is the stupidity of the highest order ..I wonder what happened to education and the quality we are churning out is disturbing Now you assume my moniker is English so I am an English and I should comprehend Your idiotic submission What I just can't believe this . So in your grandiose illiteracy Anthony and Christopher is an English name. I just laugh If Anthony is an English name maybe you say that Emmanuel is an English name Now I believe that you used Toto to graduate These are not English names for heaven sake ..are you this daft . Can't you just Google names and their origins Elliot is English name Marriott English name Not anthony not Christopher Your education is wasted The money used foe your education should have been used to built a brothel or whorehouse Now never you quote me again Rest in peace |
kentozybee:Idiot That is not an igbo name |
Now I have been listening to obanikoro interview with jimi disu on classic FM and the hen has come home to roast . He is suing sahara reporter an online blog for 1 billion for damages. This is based on defamation and libel. This is based on the tape that was released Now who reads that Sahara reporter. I think its junk journalism. That is my personal perception I also learnt that APC have hijacked PVC distribution in ajeromi ifelodun Now this is becoming interesting . They are saying that jimi disu interview today This is a fact not my saying |
That's e author=shizzle11 post=30512100]APC already rigging systematically in specific areas in lagos. Jega has serious case to answer. He must respond to the questions raised by Clark, Ekwueme, Ladigbolu and co. Its plain obvious he has connived with the opposition to rig the polls. I went for my PVC last year with my 2011 TVC and i was told my ward was one of those that the system crashed (or whatever nonsense excuse they gave). After re-registering last November I went for my PVC this morning, and was told that its not available, i was livid. Now i was told this same morning that registered voters of a particular ethnic group were deliberately being disenfranchised. When you present your TVC to the adhoc staff and your name is igbo, they tell you its not there. It happened to a lot of us, and many left angrily without their PVC's. Obviously the PVC's have been taken away and hidden somewhere, i queried and sought to know why its not there and all they kept telling is 'there may be a mix up', whats my own with mix-up or mix down?. This is currently happening somewhere in amuwo-odofin on lagos state as i speak. The plan by jega and the apc to rig the elections must be resisted by all means. I cant imagine that i cant vote in the coming elections. Jega told us that the PVC's are ready, why cant i find mine?, why cant persons from a particular region find theirs? Jega must tell us what happened to our PVCs. He must tell us why areas suspected to be dominated by PDP supporters or igbos cant find their PVCs. This is unacceptable! I must vote in this election. Jega must not play into the hands of the the so called NEF led by ango abdullahi and their born-to-rule-mentality nonsense. I am so angry right now that if i lay my hands on any apc nuisance on nairaland, i will kill him or her with my bare hands. Nonsense! ![]() ![]() [/quote]Thats |
Bruteforce101:Your absolutely right |

Somewhere in ajeromi local government and its asked if you are a Yoruba and if you say no then they ask if you are an APC then you say no. They will tell you that your PVC is not ready This is terrible .just confirmed it on classic FM interview by jimi disu and obanikoro. A caller called to reconfirm this No country survives two civil war So I think APC should be careful What happened to Yoruba sophistication and hospitality I am going to get my PVC with pictures if there is case This is happening in ajeromi ifelodun.. can we see how we are hurting ourselves We are watching keenly ....how can they give iya Loja card to distribute to And discard non Yoruba cards Why This is the same lagos crowd |
safarigirl:Don't come here and display your intellectual monkeyed notion What happened to research ..oh u use Toto to graduate What type of a graduate are you Not doing geography is not an excuse it shows your intellectually bereft My 2 cents |
BlackTechnology:That is the effect of quantitative free education Awolowo did much harm than good |
Bruteforce101:Hmmm I don't have an abandoned property there so I do nor know what to reclaim ..the king of port is called Eze not emir But in ilorin its emir not oba ..we even have Eze Igbo in lagos ..I think when an oba is installed I will listen Jebe biko |
HopeAtHand:Nwa mbara onye mere ewu ikwere beginning and end of rivers ..the last time I check odili isn't ikwerre yet he is Igbo Can u please rest in peace Ikpu oke |
