Above all, this shows the nature of our people. When it favours them no problem even if there is no performance from their people presiding over various offices and arms of government. When the baton is not on their side, there is maginalisation!!! and there will be noise all over even when the people in operations are performing.

Honestly, as much as many do not support Nigeria disintegration I think it will positively pay all of us in totality to come to terms and agree to the submission of many who want REGIONALISM so that each unit would be doing whatever she feels comfortable with within her REGION. In each region, whoever is given an appointment or contract would be known by all within topography of their region. If the person performs and contribute to the development of the REGION so be it and if otherwise the decision on what to do to him or her reside within the REGION . Nobody would be shouting of maginalisation (though there may still be issue of maginalisation, by then, it will be among the people within the same region). Each REGION would be developing at her pace and healthy competition would have ground to thrive. 

Let the CENTRE with what the agreed contributions from the federating units (REGIONS) are including legislative laws,  handle the responsibilities allotted to it. Also all of the unit can always rise up to face any challenge that wants to face the existence of Nigeria

By so doing, Nigeria as a Nation would belong to all of us while the federating Unit would belong to those who belong to each of the unit that makes up the federating unit-- PERIOD.  I think this would go along way in sorting out many things without trouble. 

What do you people feel

You sometimes surprise me with these your episodically narrow and very ethnic views, because most often you transcend them.

You look only narrowly at the Security angle, and don't wonder whether there are enough positions to go around ALL the ethnic groups in the country, which are MORE than just Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa and Fulani.  If you look at just one sector, and there are no - or not enough - Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa and Fulani - why should that become a major contention, when there are at least 11 other major-minority groups, and maybe three hundred other ethnic groups in Nigeria?  Should performance not be your majority priority?

Now let me give you some few things to ponder about, and allow you to come back to me:

Go Eagles!....I don't care where they come from,,,,and that is what should be of importance to us.

So we should all be careful what we put our microscope on....there are other sectors in Nigeria besides the Security Sector, the Legislative Sector or the Financial Sector...or even the Sports Sector.

And there you have it...

South East ??? After the present appointments were announced,the Ohaneze Ndigbo protested the exclusion of the southeast in the national security structure. Ohaneze Ndigbo has remained quiet since then and one wonders if the initial protest was a ruse.
