I have long heard rumors about Igbo's being sidelined and not being drafted into a "fulanized" army. So I decided to statistically confirm if it's true.

According to statista.com, 15.2 percent of Nigerians are Igbo.

Therefore, I sampled 421 officers promoted by LT GEN Buratai on November 25, 2020.

My shocking observation,

62 out of 421 officers promoted have direct Igbo surnames. This equals to 14.7 percent of the promoted officers in the Nigerian Army. This is a very close call to the actual 15.2 percentage of the Igbo ethnicity.

So my question is this, isn't this military marginalization claim simply false?

NB: No Ethnic banters, no stupid comments. No unintelligent comments please.

Don't tell me you have already started drinking this afternoon...

Igbos are 15% of Nigerian population?
I.e 15 X 200 000 000/100
= 30 000 000?

I doubt.
We're more than that.

That talk of marginalisation is rubbish, I can confidently say there were two GOCS out of the Army eight divisions during the last Chief of army staff area.

Heck even now sef there are GOCs and branch chiefs who are igbos.

You sound like you lost mental track as usual.

Your comments are unrelated to the discuss as usual.

That seems to be your new modus operandi; commenting absent sense.
