Igbo Most Marginalised
« on: September 01, 2007, 04:37 PM »

The Ibo's are the most marginalised zone in Nigeria. Nigerians independent came under the tripod stand IE, North,South and East, but now Ibo's are still the most marginalised. For instance since after the civil war which is still a result of marginalisation, no Ibo man had ever become the president of this country, inspector General of police, chief of defence staff etc. There is this rumour that the Hausa's and Yoruba's signed an agreement that no Igbo man will ever become the president of this country - Nigeria again. To buttress this, Dr. Alex Ekwueme was best positioned to win 1999 president but because of that it was denied him. Moreover, unemployment is predominantly in the south east, every zone in Nigeria has six states and above only south east has five. Ibo's are known for their sojourn to other countries or states to look for their daily bread because of the quest to pull them down in the last census Obasanjo and the Northern power brokers insisted that state of origin would not be included in the census form the implication being that Igbo's living outside the Igbo states were counted as non-Igbo's. Since we believe in one Nigeria why not live and let live. Why is uwazuruike still incarcerated?

Am sick and tired of hearing that igbos are marginalized.

Nigeria is made up of over 200 different ethnic groups. And Funny enough the miniorities tend to hold the wealth of Nigeria esp the oil.

No miniority group has been given a chance to rule this country. Igbos in their shortsightedness keep clamouring for power, however whenever a presidential election comes up. Every igbo man that can contest for presidency comes up, in the last election over 8 igbo men came out and "EVEN THOUGH" each of the fools know they can't win, everyone in their greed and foolish "EGOISTIC" nature, runs and refuses to support the other.

I dare say, even though the minorities have the wealth of the nation, the majority have stolen it.

If oil was found in yoruba land, or hausua or ibo land, "IN THE QUANTITY" found in the minority land,,

1. no minority would be allowed to get a job in these idiots lands
2. nigeria would have split ages ago

Every man, and tribe should look beyond the greed and egoistic sentiments of the easu and satanic spirit ruining nigeria and like the arabs have done. BUILD A NIGERIA FOR TOMORROW

or else, lets every forget of being a great nation and stop encourageing these preachers to lie to us about prosperity

no man
no pastor
no leader ( Spiritual, political or traditional )
no bishop
no reverend
no body

has stood up to do good for the nation. Its such a shame, that our generation is that of an easu generation. A generation that shows of its gifts, but has no fruit to show its good works.

generation after generation, we don't produce nothing. No works of our hands

its a shame

igbo's should shut up and try and lead themselves before coming to clamour for power.

well another word from the fool,

am not just referring to igbos alone, am referring to a generation of people. Who have the best resources in the world, but have absolutely nothing to show for it, except for waste, destruction, decadence

When God said, he blessed man, The Bible was referring to talents "ability".

God gives us ability in order for us to be fruitful. The only fruit nigeria has produced is the fruit of the womb, children, which we can't show welfare to. Its a shame on  this generation, scattered around the world. We have "NOTHING" To show for the works of our hands, nothing to offer the generation yet unborn.

When a man like soyinka succeeds, or any other nigerian making waves. In their egoistic nature, they carry themselves revelling in their glory of the past. Giving glory and honour to themselves. Such icons, should reproduce themselves in the generation behind, that we have many sons, called onto glory.

This is my quarrel, not the igbo man.

Its time, for a nation, a people to

1. remain forever foolish
or
2. rise up to its task of 'HIGH GIFTING' and shine.

its up to us

The igbo man is not the enemy, neither is it the yoruba, or any tribe,

IDIOTS  (I mean Nigerians) !!!

Look beyond your skin and tongue, and see a nation a people, a time. BLESSED BY GOD.

Their is no cohesion down there really. I wish thy can help and be true to themselves. Give one of their sons contracts to fix their roads, thy squander the money. They see the rogues living large among them and yet complain that government has marginalised thm. They first need to ut their house in order.

Fact he told you the truth ? The igbo man has not made anything of himself today. Except 419. They are the only set of Nigerians not united.

Zik called himself Zik of africa. But when he died, the road to his village was not even tarred.

How can u be a giant of a nation, when your hometown is in shambles ? Beats me.

@osisi

to be fair to afrika1 he has criticised not just the Igbos
but the nation as a whole

Another thing, Igbos are often accused of a lack of unity
an idea i simply don't understand

I don't see any of the 'other major' tribes displaying any
greater level of unity.

Considering how diverse the country is and the subdivisions
within this major tribes themselves, 'unity of any sort will continue to
elude all groups, and any benefits will prove shortlived

Even in individual families,unity is often lacking talk less of a whole Igbo nation.
there is no way all Igbos can reason as one.
We are individuals,there is no Igbo leader and there never will be.
Just like I don't know who the Hausa or Yoruba leaders are.
There probably isn't any.

afrikafreak or whatever he calls himself is an idiot and I'm sure he already knows it.

My sister, please leave that matter because it is the most redundant and despicable term in the history of Nigeria. If Igbo 'unite' and speak with 'one voice', they deserved to be driven into the Atlantic Ocean because it is not only unhealthy and unnatural, it is detrimental to their existence. That term 'Igbos are not united' is very popular among  the spiritually (and physically) indolent. I never respond to such people because I believe it is better to let them wallow (choke and drown) in their rancid pool of bigotry, prejudice, ignorance, malice and superficiality. However, I hardly resist the attempt to reply when it comes from somebody that should 'know better'. Don't join the empty chorus, please, yank yourself away from the shameless peddlers of this atrocious fallacy.

OOOOOOOkaymy people let's join hand together to shun the evil spirit of 'Kparakpoism' for this is the moment of truth!!!! And the good book says ''The truth shall set you free!!"


1. Igbos are not united
2. Igbos are fat and ugly simply because they are not united
3. Igbo women have oversized bakassi because they are not united
4. All Igbo men are fat belly-cookie cutter accent-sorry excuse of Nigerian men because of Igbo disunity!
5. Igbo men have bloated testicles because Igbos refused to unite
6. Igbos love money so much, because of lack of unity.
7. Retarded Igbo people won't let the good man Chris Uba be, because they can't support their own! They'D rather vote for Abubacha.
7. Igbos love to suck on their crack pipe just like Militia, simply because they lack unity.

My people, it is the moment of truth. . . we suck!!! If you disagree with me, you need unity in your life, you retards!!!!

All Igbos in this forum should not join issues with those who have imbibed unnecessary hatred against Igbos.

Listen, no Israelite can win any elections in the midst of Arabs, and the Igbos are like the Israelites surrounded by those who hate them and cannot win any elections in Nigeria.  This hatred cannot be explained, just like the Arabs that surrounded Israel. Even if Angel Gabriel is an Igbo man today, Nigerians will prefer to vote a condemned criminal from other tribe – Angel Gabriel cannot win elections in Nigeria if he is an Igbo man.

They say Igbos are not united and cannot produce a consensus candidate.  It is unfortunate that some Igbos have believed this nonsense.

In 1999, Obasanjo was not a consensus candidate for the Yorubas but the Northerners picked and supported Obasanjo and rigged the elections in favour of OBJ.

In 2007, Yaradua was not a consensus candidate for the Northerners, but the PDP Government picked and supported Yaradua and rigged the elections in favour of Yaradua. 

Meanwhile, when it is the turn of Igbos, Nigerians cannot adopt any candidate from Igbo and support him.  It is then they will say that Igbos are not united.  They should produce a consensus candidate, knowing fully well that this is a democratic setting and bringing a consensus candidate cannot be possible. So, that story of Igbos not united is not new to us.  We understand the game and this evil country will remain cursed until Igbos are recognized.

I think Nigeria is were she is today chiefly because of the inability of our fathers to unite the polity. If our fathers couldn`t, must us their children follow the example. I believe the the problem is not our ethnic differences but our inability to take responsibility.

Before the Maji dynasty, Japan had the problems of regional disperity, they identified their problem and one of the strongest economy.

please lets just forget about tribe and face the challenge.

God bless Nigeria!
