Thanks for the education. I wish Nigerians would always think objectively and in terms of performance instead of some primordial ethnic considerations.

Emmanuel Uzo Obi:
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.
