"Why are minority groups within the Igbo community being treated as if they represent the majority in government?" — Governor Hope Uzodinma According to him, Nigeria is mainly made up of Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba groups, and each of these groups also has minorities within them. He said that... when Hausa people are represented in government, it is usually by a Hausa person, and when Yoruba people are represented, it is usually by a Yoruba person. But in the case of the Igbo, he questioned why people from minority groups are sometimes chosen to represent the entire Igbo population. ~ Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, speaking at an Independence banquet.show more

So there are minorities again within the igbos lol If you think diving this country into regions will solve our dis unity it means you are not aware

Yorubas do not have minority groups ooo 😂😂 We only have different dialects but we are all Yoruba. Not even Oyo and Ife Yorubas can brag of being more Yoruba than others 😂😂 When your tribe na join join, na this kain wahala una go Dey face

The kind of leaders we have in this country 🤦‍♂️ We are already greatly divide across ethnic lines, and what this governor thought of speaking on is something that further divides us 😳 Nigeria needs to get rid of these leaders.

Uzodinma is raising a question about political representation within the Igbo community. 🇳🇬 He argues that minority groups should not automatically be presented as speaking for the wider Igbo population. Is Nigeria’s current approach to ethnic representation fair to all groups? 👀

This is a straight shot to Senate President Godwills Akpabio and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike. To the Ibo man, the Ibibio and Ikwerre were minorities in the old Eastern Region but today, they are at the forefront of national politics. It rubs their ego. To hell with WAZOBIA! 😅😂

The Fulani are dominating Hausa people and that’s not a debate . There is nothing like minorities in Igbo , just like Yoruba have different dialects, that’s how Igbo do too , even ikwere where Wike came from are Igbo with different dialect but due to political reasons, they don’t want to be identified with Igbo while everything they do are purely Igbo including their names. Hope and Dave Umahi are doing politics of divide and conquer. We are too intelligent for this cheap nonsense

It is even contentious to call some groups “minorities within the Igbo.” If you have specific appointments in mind, name them and explain why they were supposedly chosen to represent the Igbo. Let's examine it, not debate ethnic labels.

Him and David Umahi are tools used by Tinubu Government to disintegrate the Igbos. Tinubu showed Dave and Uzodima how to jagaban a state amd a region. Now they want to kill themselves on it

What is this thing saying again ? Who are the minority Igbos again. When a f00l grabs power by force, he desecration the sacred things. Sometimes, I wonder if Hope is that hopeless. So shameless.

See the way the real tribal bigots are practising tribalism among themsevles but are always quick to label others bigot. They are only united when it comes to hating, insulting and harassing the Yoruba people. Hatred is the only unity they have in common. Hypocrites.

Sir respectfully, we Yoruba don't have minority group sir ..all youruba states are important

This man is not speaking about minorities within the "Igbo" tribe... This fraud is speaking about minorities with the old eastern mentality in which the SS were treated as minority. Listen to that again... He said Nigeria is made up of Igbo, hausa and Yoruba. So every other tribe

We Yorubas DO NOT see any group as a minority within the Yoruba race. You people shouldn't include us in your nonsense!!

Why are Igbo people trying to claim these "minority" communities in Delta and Rivers states??? You think we don't see through your schemings. It won't happen. The people of Anioma will overwhelming vote against getting coopted by Igboland

This is him probably refering to Umahi as a minority ibo 😂 There may be minorities within Ibos but please, there's no minority Yoruba land.

I support Hope uzodinma on this submit. Imagine an ikwerre man contesting for president of ohaneze ndigbo when 98% of ikwerre people denied being igbos. Now rotimi amaechi is parading himself as an igbo man simply because of 2027 general election. What nonsense!!!

Minority how??

Buhari chose Kachikwu, Emefiele. Tinubu chose Umahi, Wike. All of the above are from Igbo minorities. However, we are not bothered, we are one people.

Most of you lacks the in-depth knowledge of what Hope Uzodinma is talking about.

What is he even saying Who are the minority group in Igbo land. He's just after his senate president ambition

I don search communities for SE today tire. I no see the minorities uzodinma dey talk about. If him wan divide SE further, make him talk am with him full chest 🙏😂. So that once he steps down from office we go reason the division together as one big family 🤗

So the problem is no longer whether you are Igbo, but whether you are “Igbo enough” to represent the Igbo? Interesting. By this logic, we’ll soon need an ethnic census before anyone can represent us. 😂 So the problem is no longer whether you are Igbo, but whether you are “Igbo enough” to represent the Igbo? 😂

So Godswill Akpabio is the man from the minority Abi, una weldone. My own be say we no get majority or minority in Yorùbá land, so carry your wahala go.

Thank God,you guys eyes is beginning to open,it's not late

@grok which people are igbo minorities?

Tell me how many Hausas are attacking Atiku but come to Peter Obi hmmmm umahi and Soludo is looking for who will win in attacking obi, but they should remember whoever that betrayed his brother, even the buyers will not trust him.

Imagine the nonsense he is spewing 🤮

Which one in minority ig o groups again?

The disunity in Nigeria is deep

That's why I will forever love this guy HOPE. He doesn't trash talk, he understands the true meaning of onye aghana nwanne ya. Unlike the efulefu we have in EBONYI and ANAMBRA

The only wise Igbo APC Governor.

For those asking who the “minorities” are, the reference is to those who deny being Igbo when it doesn’t suit them, but claim Igbo identity when it benefits them particularly when seeking political positions or other advantages.

Who is he asking? Who r d minors & who is d adult? R d minors based intra or inter state? What criteria used 2 determine majority is it land size or population or GDP. Is there consensus on census? Hope takes marginalisation cry 2 next level. Clan vs Clan cry will follow after.

This failure thinks Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Rivers, Bayelsa... Are Igbo states. Bastard, calling the States minority because the Senate president isn't Igbo is pure foolishness.
