North East has had 3 IGPs, namely: Kam Salem (1966-1975); Adamu Suleiman (1979-1981); Gambo-Jimeta (1986-1989).

North West has had 2 IGPs namely: MD Yusuf (1975-1979); Ibrahim A. Comassie (1993-1999).

North Central has had only 1 namely: Adamu I. Attah (1989-1993).

It sure is!
I heard recently that south easterners own 73 per cent of allocated land in Abuja!
That alone is enough to put fear in the Nigerian polity run by a certain cabal up north!

This is a reality. I think actually that there is a premeditated plan to keep the southeast out of the security system in Nigeria. from independence till date, no south Easterner has been the Inspector general of police and none has been the chief of army staff. Apart from Ebitu Ukiwe, I stand to be corrected if anyother south Easterner has held any of the highest position in the millitary, navy or Airforce. Well our indomitable spirit lives. While they are in the force, we are buying up the whole plots in Abuja and I tell you, 40% of the houses in Lagos are owned by the south easterners

OFCOURSE they are. But the question is why? We are trying to build a unified nigeria but some people are still scared of others and not trusting them. Now how will that bring a unified country. People are scared of you when they know you have something better to offer than they have. Maybe the nigerian police is still inefficient and behind both in technology and integrity because they have not had anybody from the southeast lead them. If everybody else has tried and failed, then it says something.
Igbos do not dominate things because they thirst for power or because they like to but because they are good at whatever they do, very competent, vision ad goal oriented and ready for changes. Unfortunately, morons in nigeria have not realized that yet and that is why they keep on doing what they do. Professionals around the world have realized the spirit and will of the Igboman and that is why you see igbos in all facets of the world economy and organizations. Okiro is IGbo and should be given chance, but when you make appointments only based on a region, that says a lot.
JUST FYI, about 80% not 73% of land allocation in abujah belongs to igbos and this is from a credible source. It is not because they want to dominate but because they love to invest. In 1976, when abujah was created, most of it belonged to the northeners because at the time, igbos were the poorest group of people in nigeria because of the war. Today, it is a different story not because they had a savior president who rescued them or somebody who actually cared, but because they all worked really hard to get where they are now. The same goes for PH, Lagos and Calabar.

tpia:

Isnt Mike Okiro from Imo state?

born in Oguta and also from the border area between Rivers and Imo?


Mike Okiro is igbo but that does not mean that the people of the current day Southeast does not deserve to produce the IGP just like other regions have. It is a question of equity. If the people of the southeast are treated this way in appointments and things we all can obviously see and recognize, i wonder how they are treated in those that are not covered by the Media. You go figure.
