Nna bros, I have observed that you irrationally HATE Peter Obi with a passion, maka why?? Remember that he made your Hero Obiano governor. At least give credit to whom it is due. Hian!!
so he's accomplishment after 8 years is making obiano governor,
now he's opposing him. During peter obi's reign as governor the amount of touts & jobless youths were excessive but thanks to willie obiano security in the state has drastically improved. Those in anambra state know how upper iweka used to be.#WillieIsWorking

What is he saying that Ndigbo should do to get to the center because I didn't understand him at all?
Peter Obi never mentioned building bridges like some APCist are shouting here.

If the bridges Ndigbo built by voting Shagari, Yar adua, Obj is not enough for you ApCists to reciprocate. Then Ndigbo can't help you. Ndigbo will not kill themselves to make you happy.
Rather you will have die off as the country crumbles for Ndigbo to live since you can never be satisfied. #Hardtruths

The reason he is wrong is because marginalization, by definition, cannot be self-inflicted. Has nothing to do with the Igbos; go check Jews in Europe or Black-Americans in the USA.

Peter is one the reasons igbo youths are behaving they way are doing. He is part of the people that completely brain washed the igbo youths.
He was the governor that introduced the deportation of igbos from lagos politics and this put Ngige into a mess during the election with peter obi.
He was a governor when El- Rufai was locked in a hotel room in Awka, I watched Peter open his mouth in the television to say El- rufai is not welcomed in Anambra. He should go back to his hausa people.

Unfortunately Nigerians don't understand their history. The Igbo's are marginalized because of the civil war and their undiplomatic and aggressive nature. It is unfortunate but it is the truth. Other tribes have not forgotten yet. Especially the north.

Former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi, has said that most of the injustices and marginalization alleged to have been meted on Ndigbo in Nigeria were self-inflicted.



The former governor spoke in Awka, the Anambra State Capital during the grand reunion of Osisiona Foundation founded by Dr. Chike Obidigbo, former All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), gubernatorial aspirant in the state.

Obi who was accompanied by his supporters to the event said that Igbos choose to be spectators than getting into the mainstream of seat of power, where the national cake is being shared, declaring that if one was not where the cake is being shared nobody will remember you.


Most governors of South East, he said, don’t attend relevant meetings and when they attend they do not have patience to stay in such meetings.The former governor who was intermittently cheered by hissupporters at the occasion said that as APGA Governor, there was no Governor who got more than him from the centre when he superintended Anambra State.He said in the Millennium Development Goals (MDG’s), no state except Gombe State, apparently, where the woman in charge hails from, got more than Anambra State.Endorsing Dr. Obidigbo for the 2017 Anambra State Governorship race, the former governor who indicated his interest to run for the Anambra Central Senatorial Zone against the APGA candidate, Chief Victor Umeh, said it is people like Obidigbo who are employers and wealth creators that should be given opportunity to rule Anambra State.


He said that if people who have never invested nor employed people were entrusted with power, they receive allocation and embark on frolic of their own to squander it because they have never known how to handle money.In his speech, the traditional ruler of Nteje, Igwe Roland Odegbo, said the traditional rulers and religious leaders in the State were working hard to reconcile Obi and his successor, Governor Willie Obiano, saying that a lot of people in the State will not like the peace move because of what they benefit from this quarrel, but they will fail.


Calling for respect for traditional rulers in Igbo land, Igwe Odegbo challenged those who forment trouble in the State to desist from it or face the wrath of the people and thgods.Dr. Obigdigbo said that he was prepared for yet another round of political battle in 2017, urging his supporters and people of goodwill to remain prayerful and unwavering as they jointly pursue this agenda of honest and quality leadership for the great people of Anambra State.

“It is often said that quitters don’t win and winners don’t quit. We are winners and refuse to quit because God cannot be found in an abandoned project,” he said.

May God widen your knowledge for you.The online hates between Yorubas and Ibos today is a bi product of Peter Obi.The way he escalated the deportation then for his own selfish and political gains then was just too alarming.Unfortunately my brothers from the east played to Obi gallery.The simply question on my mind is, what has Obi done to alleviate the suffering of those deported from Lagos since he left office except his own selfish political gains.

What do you mean by "marginalization, by definition, cannot be self-inflicted?" I wanna believe you fully understand what Self-infliction means, as well as the word - marginalization?

Peter Obi said the Igbos supposed marginalization is self-inflicted because "Igbos choose to be spectators than getting into the mainstream of seat of power, where the national cake is being shared, declaring that if one was not where the cake is being shared nobody will remember you"

Simply put, how do Igbos want to enjoy the seat of power in this country when they willing absent themselves whenever the power is being shared?

I know Peter from childhood. I will not take away from him. He really worked in Anambra State.
But what I don't like is his selffish politics. Everything about Peter is selfish. He used igbo politics to his advantage and for his selffish gain. That is part of what we are suffering today.

I mean what I said lol and I don't wanna argue with you. Marginalization can't be self inflicted, someone or some group has to marginalize you or your group. Someone has to "confine you to the lower limit of social standing," you definitely don't do it to yourself. That's why I used the African-Americans as an example.

His quote is... vague and meaningless. Addressing it would go into awkward talks of an awkward past, so that's not worth it.
