I have been reading some well written articles, brimming with academic arguments, apparently Nigerian government sponsored using situations and circumstances that were way out of context to try to prove that Igbos are not marginalized in Nigeria, they cite examples with situations in the 1960s when Igbos dominated the critical sections of the Nigerian space.
What they did not take into consideration is that what they called domination was even a case of Igbos helping out.
Helping out in the sense that those positions occupied by Igbos then were strictly on merit and that there were no better qualified persons who were bypassed in favour of those Igbos, unlike in the present situation in which a better qualified Igbo will not get a position because he/she is Igbo.
In the present situation, better qualified Igbos will have to take instructions from lesser qualified persons from other ethnicities.
