1) Out of 67 Names who received the NATIONAL award and not Tribal award, only 5 are Igbo and they received "CON "or say the least of the Awards. 

Reminds me of LOPSIDED job appointments in the Nation, where equity serve as Anathema. Infact it gives Nigeria Erection to use a mechanic to Head a Financial institute instead of giving same to anyone with Igbo name but Financial wizard,they prefer to drive Train with Reverse Gear than having an Igbo dynamic train driver pilot any national train and deliver it on time and with accurate precision,seems the Vanquished are bottom feeders. They forgot that he who held another on the ground to avoid him rising,is also lying down and wasting his own time and growth.

We know Igbo presence in Nigeria is Gigantic, there's no town ,no matter how remote it is without commanding Igbo presence,  there must be Igbo community presence in it , everywhere in Nigeria,and no capital city in Africa without Igbo dominance outside the Aborigines , igbo are always the second most populated and most achieved Tribe in Africa.

Outside the manipulated Census carried out with excruciating prejudice, it's glaring that Igbo may be the most populous Tribe in AFRICA as a Continent.

2) Northerners received democracy award higher than Igbo ,the edge over us is a concern because they are not democratically built or better than others in democracy. 

But they speak in one Voice even in dissent ,they rally behind one another whereas we back stab each other. 

We forgot the Analogy of Ukwu Aziza and when it's isolated.

North can form alliance politically and otherwise while the east can Form bitterness and bickering, it's so bad that even a Governor of a State in Alaigbo can lead opposition against his own subject in a national aspiration,may be to show muscles that are never needed,we have a saying that provides "Onye nó na únó noduru onye nó na ama, and onye nó na ama nóchitere onye nó na únó" ,we have more division on our side of the fence than those opposing us from the other divide.

3) If truly APC wanted to play a Political master class and establish the party in marbles in Igbo Land ,they would've granted relief to MNK all hidden behind the spirit of Democracy day,and will be a winner for them ,as the division and acceptance would've been overwhelming in Alaigbo.

4) The sales pitch for the Award given today was Prof Humphrey Nwosu, seeing the name on the list laundered the centrifugal choices ,that would've been a lesson to POLITICAL Huncho in the West and North that Ndigbo may not be too much involved in Partisan POLITICS,but they have that Mark of Excellency and should be tapped and not mocked. 

We are Republicans but with excessive powers of Democrats.

We are too good to be liked ,but too bad to be hated either.

I don't even know if what I should say is happy democracy day or say thank God na Mmadu abúró Chukwu?

I am Mazi Odera POg JP, Mkpisi Ndi Egede and I am down casted.

Another lesson learnt and yet some Ndigbo can never read the hand writing on the wall,if we accept our Faith and come together,the same God that lead us through with 20 pounds after the Genocidal war will lead us to serve as Giant of all Black Nation.
