The Igbos And The Nigeria Politics. by akpumping7720(m): 10:44pm On Apr 08, 2015
"Respectfully, We Igbos have always
overrated our significance in Nigeria. Since
the existence of this country, our
stubbornness have always made us the
best looser. We haven't taken a lesson from
Biafra, or the fact that we largely assisted
in relegating PDP to a regional party, or the
fact that our "myopic thinking" (in the
words of Rochas) have cost us the seats of
the Senate Presidency and House of Rep
Speaker.
But we gladly take a worthless pride in our
stupidity. NdiIgbos really need to look
inwards and cast the demon misdirecting
us away".
I quoted d above statement from a nairalander's comment on a particular topic today. Truth be said, d above statement needs to be written on a golden slate. The igbos need to look inwards if they really want to have a say in Nigeria politics. The average igbo is Proud and always full of himself. I respect the igbos a lot because they are very INDUSTRIOUS and INTELLIGENT. They have contributed a lot to the Nigerian economy directly and indirectly. There is no sector you wouldn't find an igbo man in Nigeria. But they have little say in the Nigeria Political system.
.Even almighty God himself respect HUMBLE people. Ojukwu can avoid d civil war if he hadn't prove stubborn that he can't receive order from Gowon because he is superior to him in rank, but truth be told, the Igbos need to learn the art of the game by learning how to be humble and loyal to other tribes. We have a saying in yoruba that 'if we should postrate for a dwarf, it doesn't mean that we will grow shorter when we get up'. Being loyal doesn't make you a 'butt licker'. Large deposit of oil is in the Niger Delta and not in the core east, that was why the presidency was zoned to them. It is true that Nigeria belongs to us all but there are some set of cabals that only revolution can cast them away, they determine who will be there and who is to come. The Ndigbos need to go back and learn how to play the card well. Buhari wouldn't have won if he didn't align with the Southwest to win the Presidency. If a yoruba man wants to get something that will be difficult for him to get, he doesn't mind calling d person daddy even if he is old enough to give birth to that person, he can even go as far as postrating just to get it. Let the igbos come together in one voice and support one of their own and do away with 'Pride', I believe if they can do this, they will one day Rule this nation and have a prolong say in the Nigeria Political System.

I'll commend you on your choice words.
The greatest threat to the igbos is themselves.
They are perhaps the most versatile of a tribes, but a tree doesn't make a forest.

Thought you lots said that the reason you will not give the Senate president to Ndiigbo was because there are no APC senator from SE. How about now that we have APC house of representatives members, 3 as a matter of fact. Are you lots now going to give one of them the speaker slot, or is the goal post going to change as usual?

The above crap is a classical display of idiocy. I guess Ndiigbo were not involved in relegating PDP to any level of national political prominence for 16 years it ruled Nigeria. Simply because the PDP has just lost presidential election, Ndiigbo equally lost the humble aspect of their being. Most Nigerian are completely short ranged on the intellect.
Re: The Igbos And The Nigeria Politics. by focus7: 11:48pm On Apr 08, 2015
Talking of over estimation, igbos indeed always think they have some sort political significant to determine the success of any political party in Nigeria. I must says that the south south or the north central has more political worth than the igbos, any politician who really want political success on the national level wouldn't take igbos support more serious than necessary. Igbos political significant can only be useful in igbo land. When I heard Igbo that cannot sustain apga claimed they want to make pdp a regional opposition party I laughed and can only predict the demise of pdp if it is going to depend on igbos support. Already, we have started witnessing series of defections taking place in Niger Deltan and North Central regions from pdp to the great APC, but the empty drum, chest beating and self over rating igbos wants to remain adamant to make pdp a regional party, that is RIP to pdp just as apga.
