Repeal Federal Character

If we don't practice affirmative action for something as "unserious" as football, why should we do so for the Army and Police? > > Affirmative action cannot go on in perpetuity, there has to come a point when the "learning" wheels are taken off the bicycle, unless the "minority" remains a kid forever, unable to ride a bicycle in adult life without "learning" wheels. What is made worse in NIgerias case is that the affirmative action is not intended to lift a disadvantaged group to new heights but to maintain an established status quo. > > My stance on this FC and Quota issue has been very clear, it has breed a nation of tribes, not a country. It is corruption, FC is corruption, legalized corruption. > > I recall a story about Bola Ige, born in the North, he did not realize he was "different" until he was like 12 and applied for secondary school and was told even though he passed the exams, his state cutt off was higher. Thus the kids he grew up with in the North got into tax payer funded schools and he, a Nigerian in name, but a citizen by tribe was not only denied entry based on where his grandfather came from but it imprinted in him that what mattered was not where he Lived ie North but where his Grandfather came from ie West. > > The same will happen to our kids, today they are watching Ben 10 together, oblivious of anything, once they experience the Federal Government for the first time, they become tribesmen, Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba tribesmen. > > > What Nation can prosper like this?
