Igbo Ethnic Bigotry And Hate Campaigns Worries Me :JEO IGBOKWE by Ogashub(m): 12:35pm On Sep 18, 2017
Ever since President Buhari won the 2015 Presidential elections he was destined to win having labored in 2003, 2007, 2011 and then 2015 a very vast preponderance of South South and South East indigenes have descended on the President, pouring invectives, calling him names, abusing his person and his exalted office, preaching hate, and ethnic divisions. I have followed this dangerous trend over a year now, and it is not abetting. It is growing like wild fire everyday. In recent times the South-South people whose son lost the election have moved on except the criminal avengers who are fighting for their pockets only and destroying their environment.

I have seen spirited and genuine efforts being made by the leaders of South-South to bring peace to the Niger Delta, and I heartily commend them for this. It is in their own interest. But in the South East, our people have refused to move on. In the diaspora, in Nigeria, in schools, in the markets, on the streets, in Churches, in Town Meetings etc Igbo have refused to move on. Every move the President makes to rebuild and reposition the country is abused, castigated and ethnic meaning read into it. The dangerous trend has become so embarrassing that one is compelled to speak out. While leaders of South-South have made interventions to make way for harmony and peaceful co-existence, Igbo leaders have maintained a deafening silence but this silence is no longer golden. Ethnic bigotry and hate speeches our people both at home and abroad dish out everyday endanger our people living in all parts of Nigeria. President Buhari belongs to a section of Nigeria and must not run away with the thinking that his people will be happy and clap for us when we malign and abuse one of their own.

No ethnic group in Nigeria moves and settles in any part of the country like the Igbo. They settle and do business in almost every part of the country, and when we throw stones to other Nigerians, we endanger their lives and their businesses. The worst sets of Igbo guilty of this dangerous trend are those living outside the country. While some of them are engaged in meaningful employment, many of them are unemployed. They have become economic refugees and cultural savages. They have formed an association of hate preachers and wailing bigots. They have through actions and deeds created millions of enemies for Ndigbo in Nigeria while they waste their precious gift of time abroad doing nothing.

Last week the Vice of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Professor Yemi Osinbajo was in Afe Babalola University Ekiti State as Guest Speaker during the University’s Convocation ceremony. In the cause of his speech, he told his capacity audience the Niger Delta Avengers are not freedom fighters but those fighting for their pockets only. I saw the story on facebook and other sites on the internet. The one on Facebook caught my attention because of nearly 400 reactions as at the time I read it. I took mental note of the reactions and the names attached to it. 95% are Igbo names and they abused and called the Vice President unprintable names for speaking the truth. This is a shame. Ignorance should not be a virtue. Ignorance is a disease. Foolishness is a tragedy. This is ignorance stupid. This is mental darkness. A roaring lion kills no game. It is only a river that wants to get dried up that forgets its source. A Chinese proverb tells me that “He who blames others has a long way to go on his journey. He who blames himself is half way there. He who blames no one has arrived.”

Now, it is time for the Igbo to move on and join other Nigerians to begin the process of rebuilding Nigeria. I want Igbo Governors, elected Senators, elder statesmen, House of Reps Members, House of Assembly members, political leaders, traditional rulers, Igbo intellectuals, professionals, market leaders, town union leaders, village heads, etc. to rise up to defend the integrity and honor of Igbo race. Are these ignorant ones who preach hate speaking for us? Are they representing us? Are they our brightest and bests? Are those asking for Biafra and using it as business venture speaking for all of us? Have we taken a look at the situation in South Sudan today? Shall we continue to sleep pretending that all is well? Can we be honest enough to see the real danger ahead? For how long will our leaders continue to be silent on these weighty issues? Can elders continue to sleep while the kids wear snakes as necklaces? Can the young teach tradition to the old? Who will bell the cat in Igboland? Who will call the ignorant kids to order?

Did the Yoruba go to war when June 12 1993 Presidential Election won by their illustrious son Chief MKO Abiola was annulled on June 23rd 1993 on a sheet of paper by IBB? Did Yoruba go to war when Abiola’s wife Alhaja Kudirat Abiola was murdered in Lagos in the morning of Jun 4 1996? Did Yoruba go to war when the winner of that historic election was poisoned on July 7 1998? Did Yoruba go to war when those who killed Abiola imposed Obasanjo on them as President in 1999? Did Yoruba accept Chief Ernest Shonekan when IBB made him to head the interim government in 1993? Yoruba rejected OBJ and Shonekan because this unique race has never been slaves to public office and yet they have remained number one in Nigeria in almost everything. This is wisdom and strategic thinking at work.

Those of us who have lived in Yoruba land for years should not only learn how to wear Aso Ebi, eat Ewedu soup or dance Owambe, music.

We must have also learned other unique things from them like sharing property to both male and female children, religious tolerance, ethnic tolerance, transferring legacies from generation to generation. Do you know that APC National Leader Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s wife is a Christian? Do you know that former Governor Fashola’s wife is a Christian? We can learn a lot from Yoruba. Yoruba too can learn from Igbo in areas of thinking home, business enterprise, self-help, apprenticeship, etc.

A Yoruba woman, a Pastor Mrs. Eunice Olawale Elisha of the Redeemed Christian Church of God old NEPA Road Phase 4 Kubwa, Abuja was killed by unknown persons on Saturday morning of July 9, 2016, while preaching the gospel around 5.30am. I have followed the reactions on the internet and Yoruba do not behave like the Igbo. They have been speaking but not preaching hate. They have called for the culprits to be fished out, prosecuted and punished. If Mrs. Eunice Elisha had been an Igbo hell would have been let loose. There would have been abuses and abuses. But Yoruba are not Igbo. This is civilization. This is strategic thinking. I hope our people can learn from this. Civility is not a sign of weakness. He who fights and run away lives to fight another day.

To have ears is not to listen, to listen is not to hear, to hear is not to understand, to understand is not to put to practice. I know that writing this may not get me many friends among the Igbo, but it always gets me the right ones.

Case Rested!

I just wasted my time reading a bullcrap from this comfortable slave.
Joe Igbokwe deserves no hate but pity.
It's very shameful that he didn't even condemn the killings done by dictator vegetable, but quick to attack his own kinsmen with a stupid analysis all in a bid to please his masters. Smh.
Anyways, what do you expect from a servant ?
Someone that has boasted how he served, Tunibu , Fashola and Ambode and still serving.. very disgraceful.
I repeat, JOE NEEDS PITY.
He even went further to list how some afonjas were killed and they didn't react, that Igbos should not also react for whatever challenges they are facing, really ?. Everybody knows that Igbos have this resistance nature and must react against any injustice coming their way, no matters the angle it's coming from, while the weakest tribe in Africa lack the ballls to challenge their oppressors due to their nature(Cowardice), even when they are being killed, they will always remain loyal to their Masters..

The ist pix is for Joe igbokwe while the second pix is for those iddiots including Joe Igbokwe that are saying that Ipob agitation is as result of Jonathan's failure at pulling unit.
Calm down and look at the date if you have eyes.

Mr man u must have lost ur sence of reasoning. sometimes when this foolish leaders speaks i wonder how they reasons.
Mr man let me reply u point by point.

Yaradua was a Fulani man from the same state with buhari, when he won election he was loved by every Nigerian including the Igbos, what is happening to buhari was KARMA he was the inventor of this new generation HATE SPEECH. so I don't know where u got the fact that everything started when he ascend the throne of leadership.
moreover no president of Nigeria has received as much insult like GEJ, kiss the truth Mr.
u claimed when the Yoruba woman was killed the Yoruba people maintained peace but if were to be Igbo the reverse will be the case.
u make me wonder if u are suffering from mental disorder or lost of memory. how many Hausa people was killed when the Hausa youths murdered Igbo woman in Kano market 2yrs ago? how many times do u want igbos to keep quite whenever the Hausa youths kills there own. we have cases of Hausa people killing igbos at every slightest provocation weather here in Nigeria or outside Nigeria, are we made to be killed by this animals.

u claimed the igbos should bend and learn from yoruba, but u haven't done the same because the Yorubas I know will always defend there youth weather good or bad. so why did u choosed not to have learn that from them even when u know that igbos has sacrifice much already.

I can only classify u as a slave trying not to loose his job.
u are a buffoon, a bigotry,an idiot and also foolish as well to have spew this arrant nonsense.

Buhari is the master of hate speech.


Saying that Igbos should not expect anything from his govnt for given him 5% votes in a Democratic election is a hatred induced statement.


But this man finished the Yorubas here oo..

"Did Yoruba go to war when the winner of that historic election was poisoned on July 7 1998? Did Yoruba go to war when those who killed Abiola imposed Obasanjo on them as President in 1999?".


They killed MKO and used OBJ to shut them up and you expect them to go to war, the promise that they will be given a presidential slot was enough to calm them down.

Trash, to my opinion Igbos are not needed in Nigeria by other tribes, they drive joy in seeing Igbo region been marginalize.
1.If not SE supposed to have six state like others.
2.Railway is been built in other regions and Igbos are left out at the joy of others.
3.No functional international airport in the east, no seaport.
4.Second Niger bridge to ease movement have been abandoned.
They are agitating for their own country move theirself forward out hate towards them by others, civil war ended over 50 years ago yet the region is still under subjugation, it shows the nation has no vision.

I have often restrained myself from insulting igbos but some of you guys may never learn cos of your stupidity, nonsensical talks, unjustifiable hatred against Yoruba's and chest beatings which you equal to speaking out against oppression but hasn't gotten you anywhere than the road of victim mentality.

Your claimed that we are cowards is hogwash cos we are better off than others in the scheme of things as far as this country is concerned even northerners won't make such assertion cos deep down in their hearts they know.

So I'll advise you read Joe igbokwe statement again then maybe you'll learn few things since it seems you lack basic comprehension abilities.

Civility and strategic thinking is not a sign of weakness but it is WISDOM.

Look at the type of person you wait on and look up to!

Shame

Joe Igbokwe:
"Shame is the most powerful, master emotion. It's the fear that we're not good enough."

People who inspire with their writings without abusing or calling names.
I have read your penchant for lies,mockery and divisiveness.
You and Igbokwe did not speak of the dead,now you claim more catholic and the pope.
How can you celebrate the deaths of people.

My guy,I know you want quick fame here,you won't get it from me.

People who inspire with the writings without abusing or calling names,and I respect that,and was about editing the warthog part before your shame word.
I will not drag you down,though....

Respect Sir

As a yoruba man, it is good to have shame in local parlance so you would not do or say shameful things.
As for you calling Joe a warthog, no problems if that's how you can express yourself, good for you.
Lastly my eastern brother life is a mirror your disposition is always reflected back at you in surplus.

Peace!

I just wasted my time reading a bullcrap from this comfortable slave.
Joe Igbokwe deserves no hate but pity.
It's very shameful that he didn't even condemn the killings done by dictator vegetable, but quick to attack his own kinsmen with a stupid analysis all in a bid to please his masters. Smh.
Anyway, what do you expect from a servant ?
Someone that has boasted how he served, Tunibu , Fashola and Ambode and still serving. Nawa ooooo.
I repeat, JOE NEEDS PITY, nobody should insult him abeg.

The ist pix is for Joe igbokwe while the second pix is for those iddiots including Joe Igbokwe that are saying that Ipob agitation is as result of Jonathan's failure at pulling unit.
Calm down and look at the date.

Then that shame should be reserved for you.

I told you like I have said no Omoluabi worships blood.

I do not need your like,to like you.
I love those who hate me.
Hate is too heavy a burden for me to carry.

Now,you try to justify,the injustifiable.

Did you type this?
Its just a YES or NO,and
I trust u will be honest.

Are u xtian,atheist,Muslim,traditionalist,etc?
