Why The Hatred On Igbos? by zuchyblink(m): 5:28pm On Jul 24, 2014
The truth is that nigerias inability to
develope is correlated with a grand plan
against all igbos.actually most of nigerian
onshore oil is produced in igboland.igbos
have however been balkanized and put at
loggerheads.oil was actually discovered in
owerri before oloibiri,but swept under the
carpet with false claims of not being in
commercial quantity.i can assure everyone
on this thread that very soon oil will be
struck in owerri again.the largest oil
producing local government in nigeria is
ogba/egbema/ndoni in rivers state.though
99% igbo-speaking,it should be noted that
part of it was ceded to rivers state as a
result of oil in 1976 to reduce imo's income.

Question: Why are other Nigerians always
persecuting the Igbo?
/
/
Answer: I have always tried to know
myself. I am one of those who believe that
the Igbo are among the most peaceful
people on earth. But, because of the fact
that they are very hardworking, ambitious,
and not afraid to live anywhere, or take up
any task, they tend to be resented by their
less ambitious and successful neighbors or
hosts. When you confront a non-Igbo to say
what specific offense the Igbo have
committed against them, oftentimes they
draw blank, or engage in fabrications,
which they insist must stand for a fact. The
Igbo believe in live-and-let-live. It is virtually
impossible for any Igbo to rise against their
guests or hosts. It has never happened in
Nigeria, or elsewhere. It is an abomination
in Igboland for a host to cause his guest
harm. Instead, a guest is considered
metaphysically and physically under the
protection of the host. All Igbo deities forbid
doing harm to a guest. The Igbo are
accused of "loving money." I suppose the
charge is based on the fact that they work
hard and acquire money in the bargain. One
would like to believe that the outcome of
hardwork is good harvest and hopefully
prosperity. If anybody takes offense at the
prosperity of a hardworking person, then
the Igbo or for that matter any other
person or persons, have no apologies to
render.

^^^Keep on kidding ya self! The things done to us in this country ( part of which the OP enumerated above) can only come from a wicked heart consumed by hatred! I used to be as naive as you before.....and this is part of our problem: we tend to think others are bound by the same moral limitations and scruples like we are!

The sooner we realise we're sharing the same country with people that hate us -never mind 'envy'- the sooner we can prepare or strengthen our defences to ward-off their stealthy onslaught! This wishy-washy attitude was our undoing in the 60s!

Question: Why were we taught in school
that Igbo people are easterners?
/
/
Answer: It is both an unfortunate parroting
by teachers and careless adoption by Igbo
educated class. Igbo people come from
Southern Nigeria and not Eastern Nigeria. It
may be correct to say that the Igbo are
found predominantly in eastern Nigeria.
However, by saying that the Igbo are
easterners, the implication is that the Igbo
in western Nigeria, numbering about 2.5
million (Agbor, Ogwashi Ukwu, Ibuzo,
Okpanam, Asaba, Orimili, Ndokwa, Anioma,
etc) are not Igbos. The best known Igbo
anthropologist Professor Mike
Onwuejeogwu is from the western part of
Nigeria, Chukwuma Nzeogwu, Dennis
Osadebe, Okonkwo Adibe (the famous
musician), Sony Odogwu, etc. are all from
the western part of Nigeria. They are no less
Igbo than those who live in the eastern part
of Nigeria. The correct answer to your
question is "the Igbo come from Southern
Nigeria."

Question: Is Southeast and Igboland the
same thing?
/
/
Answer: Not at all. Southeast is only about
3/5th of Igboland. Igboland covers the
whole of Southeast, parts of Rivers, Delta,
Benue, and Akwa Ibom states.
Re: Why The Hatred On Igbos? by zuchyblink(m): 6:20pm On Jul 24, 2014
Question: Is Igboland landlocked?
/
/
Answer: Not at all. Igboland stretches from
Igwe Ocha (Port Harcourt) to Agbor. The
Atlantic ocean washes the shores of
Igboland. Africa's second largest river -
River Niger, traverses Igboland with one
part of Igboland in the east and another
part in the west of Nigeria. Uguta Lake has
the potential of accommodating large ships
and could be made a navigable port. If
Igboland is landlocked, then all Nigeria is
landlocked.

Question: Why do some Ikwerre people say
they are not Igbo?
/
/
Answer: First, it is not up to them to say
what they are and what they are not. When
God created them, He did not ask them who
they wanted to be. He just created them
Igbo. The only way you'll know who
belongs to what ethnic group in Nigeria is
the name and what language the name
comes from. Anybody whose name is
Amadi or Onyeri, or Eke, or Odili, Wanodi
(Nwanodi) does not need to tell you who he
is. He is Igbo, his politics notwithstanding.

Question: But they claim that their language
is Ikwerre, not Igbo.
Answer: That is politics. Ikwerre is a dialect
of Igbo language. Just like an Ngwa man
speaks Ngwa Igbo, Arochukwu speaks
Arochukwu Igbo, etc.

Question: Is there oil in Igboland?

Answer: Yes, indeed. There is a lot of oil in
Imo State, Abia, Ebonyi, Rivers State and

Anambra. Besides, Igboland has many other
natural resources, including coal, limestone,

igbos shud stop playing the victim,dis is 2014,ibo is a major tribe in nigeria,they shud fight for there rights through actions and not through ranting.
u guyz keep blaming yorubas and hausa,but both tribes are controlling nigeria through sheer gut and determination from them...ibos need to wake up and use there strength ,finacial,political,economical to achieve there objectives rather than playing the victim game.

No election in this country has ever been completely free and fair my brother.

The fact is, if we had massively voted for Ikemba, there's no way the PDP would have won in the south east! They might have won the governorships, but not the presidential.

In public we all extol his virtues and sing praises of him, but when the time came to give flesh, bones and blood to our desires , we chickened the hell out!!

We are our worst enemy!
