Why Igbos Are Out Of Mainstream Politics In Nigeria by maclatunji: 6:58pm On Aug 12, 2016
It is very simple, you cannot be conniving against the progress of Nigeria and effectively benefit from it.

This concept is not alien to you because a large part of your population are spread outside the Southeast and you behave well enough to be accepted as fellow Nigerians.

However, when it comes to national politics, you simply have consistently failed to be circumspect. Let me give you an example, Igbos were the noisiest in supporting the misrule of Goodluck Jonathan as President for 5 years. In that period, you failed to encourage him to build Nigeria, worse still to help develop your region that is ravaged by underdevelopment.

Now, that the man you majorly do not support is in power, you are encouraging subversion and beating the drums of war.

How then can you be political relevant in Nigeria? You cannot and will not be.

Oh, I forgot, you are fighting for Biafra. It would have been fun to allow you have it but you would mess that up and still want to eat from the rest of Nigeria like you currently are.

Sorry, you will not be able to eat your cake and have it. So, the choice is yours, become progressive in your political outlook or remain backwards in Nigeria.

You can make all the noise you want on the Internet, it won't change facts on ground.

Respect to my enlightened and sophisticated Igbo friends, you will forgive me ffor addressing your politically-unsophisticated brethren, making too much noise in Nigeria.

Ibos wants the best things in Nigeria but they hate Nigeria. Ibos hate Hausa, Yoruba, Fulani, Kanuri, Igbira, Tiv, Junkun, even Ijaws, Itsekiri, Urhobo e.t.c. Ibos only like Ibos. Anybody who is not an Ibo is an enemy to Ibos.

Ibos wanted One Nigeria when their adopted son the ineffectual buffon husband of the cantankerous sheppopo was president and was sharing more money than the nation was making with his gang of looters.The drunk fisherman has lost election after bankrupting the country, Ibos now want Biafra. What a people! Ibos now say "give us Biafra or death". We can't give them Biafra and they can't take it themselves either, if they want death, they are free to die.

You kids are too young to know that politics is like a tide,it comes your way today and away in another dispensation. I remember when yorubas were out and they formwd various forms of pressure groups against the govt. Infact they lost out so much that by the time the nation returned to democracy in 1999,the whole nation agreed that they should be compensated with the taste of power. Nobody wrote against them nor made a jest of them.
For once,they click and they now sit to judge others. Na wah oo

Yes yoloba loved Nigeria that's why they helped put a clueless, uneducated dukkard by the name of Buhari to rule all because GEJ named Igbos "pillar of his administration" rather than them

Yes yoloba love Nigeria that's why they voted in a man that he himself is epitome of corruption and equally know to make the claim " Abacha is non corrupt" all because he gave them a VP slot.

Yes yoloba loved Nigeria that's why during Obasanjo rule, the nation was the most corrupt nation in the world but they over looked it but instead rose us to accuse GEJ who till date yet to back up their propaganda.

Yes GEJ and his administration was corrupt yet ironically, till date, have yet to convict ANYBODY in his administration of cprruption...ain't that a trip.

Yes GEJ was corrupt based on billions that got "returned" back to the country yet the yoloba who currently in finance of the nation has been going around borrowing money and even destroying the progress NOI did. What happened to all the money that was supposedly "returned".

Yes yoloba love Nigeria that's why they are the only tribe who made the list of the liquidators that destroyed the nation economy during the "16 years of PDP".

Should I continue?

What a joke of a community.
****. Let all clap for that.. one thing most igbo are proud of it is we have no hand in the worst administration in the ENTIRE Nigerian history.

It is hilarious to me the tribe that claim to be most educated, most sophisficated, most blah blah delusions they give themselves were handed the economy of the nation and they single handily DESTROYED everything and retrogressing the country to a complete joke, poverty and high suffering. Laughable. So much for the "sophisticated"

Yorubas were never like this during the June 12 saga. We actively campaigned for what is right for the country not ask for the Southwest to be carved out of Nigeria,.

We also never supported the bad tendencies of former President Obasanjo when he was in power.

In fact, you can say Yorubas are polar opposites of Igbos politically.

Honestly, he is reeling from my post. Nobody hates you Ikechukwu but we have to teach people like you political sense since some people are teaching you nonsense and they call themselves Igbo leaders.

It is time the true Igbo patriots stand-up and enlighten their people.

It took PDP 16 years to make a dollar = N197,but it took APC just 1 year to make a dollar N400.

It took PDP 16 years to destroy Nigeria, but ittook APC just 1 year to massacre, dismantle, kill and bury Nigeria.

It took PDP 16 years to make fuel price N87 per litre, but it took APC 1yr to make fuel N145 per litre.

It took PDP 16 years to make Nigeria corrupt,but it took APC just 1 year to make Nigeria Fantastically corrupt.

It took PDP 16 years to keep the price of rice at N7,000 per bag,but took APC 1 year to project it to N18,000 per bag.

It took Jonathan 5yrs to travel to 15 countries,but it took Pa Buhari 1 year to travel to 30 countries.

It took PDP 16years to apply resounding economic policies that made banks grow, buttook APC 1 year to apply policies which madebanks to sack more staff.

The worst administration of PDP is far better than the best of APC!

Apc is a disaster.

You dey mind am. They can't seem to keep their head straight.

It's how they constantly defending Buhari and when every body mention they are the only southern group licking his ass..they'll instantly start calling FFK and Fayose name..ironically the two they insult and attack here.

Let's not forget they rejoiced when they thought the military is invading Ijaw community and killing them..they even prompted for more of it.
They equally did the same thing when they thought the militants killed in southwaaste was Ijaws..immediately it was discovered they were yolobas..how many did we see rejoice their death again?

Oh but they love Ijaws grin grin grin

One thing I've noticed is yoloba are crying because no group in South seems to like them anymore excluding maybe Benin so they are desperately trying to get the "igbo hates us and everybody else" spread. It gotta suck to be yoloba, trying desperately to copy the North divide and rule and failing woefully at it.

Watch I actually expect a yoloba to reply this post saying "We SS or We ND loves yoloba but hate igbo". I bet you a 1000 that's gonna happen.

A yoruba muslim ile kewu arabic school graduate is advising Igbo how to play politics. 'I guess his number one advise will be -'Remove all your kings and put a fulani emirate in your land like we muslim yorubas did'. grin


When I was in kano during a riot in the 90s, these same yoruba muslim charlatans were running to Sabon gari to hide in Igbo shops when their fulani brothers-in-Islam wanted to show them 'true love' with matches.

Correct, we played opposition politics but did not try to sabotage Nigeria.

Opposition at national level is mainstream politics, subversion is not.

Sabotage Nigeria? How?
Was it igbos that counselled your president to divide his people into two camps, appoint nitwits based on bigotry after a wasted 6 months,slaughter civil rights agitators like cockroaches, and utterly and totally mismanage the economy?
Are igbos the ones breaking oil pipes or are they even in charge of the military that is supposed to stop them?
