Are Igbos Really Foolish? by Nobody: 12:46pm On Oct 31, 2014
Dr Junaid Mohammed,a member of the House of
Representatives in the Second Republic and
currently coordinates the Coalition of Northern
Politicians, Academics, Professionals and
Businessmen. He treats other zones of Nigeria
with little respect, and obviously cannot hide his
hatred and disregard for Ndigbo of the South
East Nigeria.
In the Punch Newspaper of September 12, 2014,
he described the just concluded National Confab
as a waste of time, and that it achieved nothing,
and argued that the agenda of the different
regions of the South failed.
According to him: Those who wanted to use the
result of the conference for their own political
good, like Goodluck Jonathan and the Peoples
Democratic Party have failed woefully; the Igbo
wanted to use the conference to achieve their
demented agenda of equality or parity between
the North-West and the South-East.
In his words: “If you are to use a serious map
that is scientifically based, to show respective
areas where you show the North-West as the
palm of a hand, the South-East will only be a
dot”.
Continuing, he said: The South-South request for
resource control also failed; the recommendations
of the Confab would not scale through the
National Assembly that has Northerners in the
majority; any of the presidential candidates in
2015 election who commits to maintaining the
current revenue allocation formula would not
win; anybody who commits himself to maintain
the preponderance of the Igbo in all our financial
agencies, ministries and department will also not
win the next election; Goodluck Jonathan has
already started boasting that he has given the
Igbo more than anybody in the past, for that
alone he will not win the next election. If he rigs
it, there will be mayhem.
Dr. Mohammed has said it all; he should be held
responsible for any bloodshed after the 2015
elections. He must be coming from a school of
thought that believes Northern Nigeria must
always produce the President and the heads of all
Federal Government ministries and agencies in
Nigeria.No wonder Northerners are swarming the
NNPC through which they milk Nigeria as their
inheritance as given to them by Great Britain and
exposed byAliyu Gwarzo.In their wisdom, their
tribe is meant to reap where they have sown
nothing, while denying the actual owners of the
oil any benefits with the vehemence of a suicide
bomber!They cannot stand women in powerful
positions as we have them now.
For the likes of Dr. Mohammed and his brother
Murtala Nyako, GEJ is an Igbo man; how
unfortunate!
A great beneficiary of the years of Northern rule
of Nigeria, Dr Mohammed needs our sympathy and
understanding because the tide in the affairs of
Nigeria has continued to change as ordained by
God who created the heaven and the earth. The
refusal of any mortal to accept the will of this
sovereign God over this nation is rebellion
against God, and the consequences include
destruction. God will judge that, and He does not
fail.
Dr. Junaid Mohammed was reported recently as
calling Igbos selfish and shameless in an
interview published on the Hope for Nigeria
website. I do not blame him. He is saying it as he
sees the Igbo man. There are reasons to think
that the Igbo man is selfish and foolish, I mean
very foolish! After all, an Igbo Proverb, says that
the madman knows what he does, but may not
know why he does those things. Dr. Junaid may
not know why he is saying the things he said, as
a matter fact.
Let us face it, here is a people who were
massacred in the North of Nigeria in 1966.They
were killed in hundreds of thousands which
culminated in a three years civil war.
What did the Igbos do right after the war? They
quickly ran back to the same spots where they
were killed in 1966 and re-established businesses
in a bid to survive the hunger from the war.
They remained in those states,built houses,
estates, hotels, and expanded the economy of
their erstwhile killers! Some have children born in
such places who can’t speak Igbo language!Is it
wise to think that your enemy will love you
because you came back to make money? No man
will hate your father and turn round to love you!
Igbos know this too well, but refuse to change,
it is shocking!I was in the war, as a young boy,
in the Biafra Organisation of Freedom
Fighters,BOFF.
We were told then, that one way the Nigerian
soldiers confirmed that an Igbo soldier was really
dead was to shake a few coins noisily in his ears.
If he did not move, then he is dead! This
captured the greed or selfishness of an average
Igbo man as perceived by Nigerians. This wrong
notion may have accounted for the different
attitude of some of us; the products of that
training to money. We see money as the reason
Igbos are insulted by every fool in Nigeria!
Since after that war, Igbos have succeeded most
in working against themselves. First was the
Onitsha sea port which the then Alhaji Shehu
Shagari government wanted to build for Igbos,
but ended up building that small canoe jetty in
the name of seaport at Onitsha. Igbo sons were
part of the deceit at that time, and it remains a
scar on the conscience of those who betrayed
their land by refusing to use that opportunity to
give Igbo land a sea port.
When you demand for a seaport in Igbo land
today, the Northern interests would get an Igbo
professional to tell you that it cannot be done,
forgetting that the United Arab Emirates built
one of the biggest seaports in modern world
today, in the desert! If these Igbo professionals
that are being used are not fools, what will you
call them? We know them, yet we clap when they
vomit upon us!

If Dr. Junaid comes out for any elective post to challenge a toddler, I would cast my vote 100% for the toddler. The school that awarded him the doctorate degree should be closed and investigated. You don't award such a degree to a monumental slowpoke that is mentally jaundiced.

Buhari will continue to fail as long as he has people like Dr. Mohammed acting as his spokesperson. Imagine him bragging about the resource control discussion failing, so it's all about resource control abi?

Afterall, all your usual garbage, the fact still remains that you Igbos are GREEDY and COVETOUS.

Even your bumb post attest to that fact. So because a few ibos owns houses in lekki that means lekki belongs to the ibos, huh.
