Thanks.

are you afraid of backlash?
The funny is that all the successes of the Igbos you outlined are borne out of sheer hardwork and not govt patronage unlike northerners and south-westerners. You said GEJ said Igbos are the backbone of his administration, that was a statement of fact which no one could have contradicted but buhari's comment that you don't see anything wrong with, is at best, an apartheid, xenophobic, foolish and unenlightened comment ever. He followed the hate speech up with hate actions of appointing over 43 people without a single Igbo and you want us to pretend that all is well. He retired military officers of Igbo origin in an ethnic cleansing based action are you think we should play Hypocrisy just like you.
Well I just thought I should burst your wickedness induced write-up a little

omenka:
Good morning all.

I come in peace.

I'd begin this with two quotes.

Israelmore Ayivor once said..



George Bernard Shaw said..



These two quotes, in a sense, sum up the political blues emanating from South East Nigeria.

Nigeria is such a fascinating place and there is no other place in the country where you find such beguiling political nuances than in the South East, alot of which sprang to life just after the declaration of the results of the last general elections.

It was a chain reaction initiated by the loss of their preferred contestant, Goodluck Jonathan, and catalysed by their collective hatred for the person, tribe and religion of the victor, President Buhari, and those they perceive were associated with his victory namely Bola Ahmed Tinubu in particular, and the South West in general.

No sooner did he take the oath of office than they swarmed him with a torrent of unprintable insults and at best, criticisms, none of which came anywhere close to constructive. They jettisoned all courtesy typical of normal human engagements and delved right into a fray they created in a most sordid manner.

These folks who were having such a fantastic ride with President Jonathan for over five years and literally asked anyone who dared to grumble about being left out or shortchanged to "stick it up their assses" suddenly remembered they've been "marginalised" since the Big Bang!

They found an enthusiastic ally in a sly character called Fani Kayode and he has been doing such a plumb job making sure they fortify their hate for the aforementioned people, he himself a very bitter loser. Most surprisingly, this was the same man whose head they called for just a couple of years earlier for criticising their conduct in Nigerian politicospare.

It is this unbridled hate and anger some opportunistic layabout in London saw and took advantage of, exploiting it to the fullest. Alas, IPOB was born!

This brings me back to both my opening quotes.

Now, if not for reason of sheer hatred, how in God's gracious name did a people who pride themselves as some of the most educated and enlightened people in the continent allow a character that,

1. Has no known educational exploits,

2. Has no known literary exploits,

3. Has no leadership experience,

4. Has no known sustainable means of livelihood...

take on such gargantuan responsibility as secession?

Upon this premise, the second quote is MOST APPROPRIATE.

Nnamdi Kanu would have remained the unknown and insignificant spec in the universe he was had the "losers" not bore such morbid hatred for their supposed enemy.

Some people argue the president lit the torch of their anger by the "5%" comment. Pray tell, would this be the first time someone made such comment? Didn't Jonathan make similar comment when he was the President? The "igbos are the backbone of my administration" comment, remember that? How many people from the North or South West huffed and puffed about it despite its impropriety?

Now, someone tell me, exactly what advantage has IPOB conferred on the South East since the beginning of their belligerent campaign?

Have more projects gone to the South East?

Have more FDI gone to the region?

Have their governors become more alive to their responsibilities?

Have more appointments been given them?

Do Nigerians love them more?

IPOB has but one agenda alone, chip away at the progress Ndigbo have made over the years in every endeavor they've embarked on individually and collectively.

When I look at what these guys are doing to their brothers, i shudder in disbelief.

Take the small town of Makurdi for instance. The most popular "supermarkets", D. O. Brothers, Togos and Nobis, are owned by Igbos. They own the biggest shopping plazas, Ndupet, Merit, O. G. Winners, Tonimas, etc. They are the biggest wholesale distributors of beverages (OFICON). Etc.

I can only imagine what's going on in such big cities as Kanu, Kaduna, Lagos, Abuja, etc.

What strategy of relocation does IPOB have for these people.

You know what they say about "a man who's got nothing to lose"... A most dangerous man. With no known means of livelihood or investments anywhere, Nnamdi Kanu fits the bill for such a character.

Cornered, bruised and humiliated, they've decided inflammable propaganda is the best way to go. The outbreak of Monkey Pox and the military medical outreach presented them with the opportunity to take another pound of flesh out of "their people" (I put it this way because I believe Neither the president nor the soldiers lost a thing from the events of the last one week, rather, school children did).

But for this silly hoax, one would have thought these people who profess to be very educated and enlightened didn't know we have professional doctors, nurses, lawyers, engineers, etc, in the military!!

How sad.

How an enlightened people could believe a government intent on depopulating them would go about doing so under the full glare of the public using such overt means as injection beats me. More disturbing is the fact their leaders have chosen to keep mum over it.

Let it be known to all who care to listen, the Federal Government of Nigeria won't be blackmailed into treating any particular group of Nigerians "differently".

Maya Angelou once said "Hate, it has caused a lot of problems in the world, but has not solved one yet." That held true then, it holds true now, and it will for centuries to come!

Just like Boko Haram, IPOB has succeeded in bullying into silence moderate and sensible Igbos, but just like my friend on facebook, Gozicon Munachi, it is time for these moderate elements to grow some balls, step up to the medium and salvage what is left of the political and moral patrimony of Ndigbo. Failure to do this would have very far reaching self inflicted negative consequences.

The FFKs of this world would hardly make any difference should things deteriorate any further even though they play very critical role in their escalation. Folks like him have the noose around their necks already, and would do whatever it takes to make sure that noose comes off, it doesn't matter how many lives they sacrifice in the process, just as long as it isn't their family members'.

Even the all knowing and "omnipotent" Ohamadike was nowhere to be found when shiit hit the fan. He still isn't!

This day, I extend a hand of friendship to my Igbo brothers. We may disagree on a whole lot of issues, but we could always do so with mutual respect and courtesy. I hardly agree with whatever folks like Truckpusher or Tonyebarcanista say, but we respect some unwritten rules of engagement. I believe we can at well do the same.

Let us make the most of the union while it lasts. The only people that stand to benefit from the chaos that might ensue from our constant bloodbaths are the elites. If you ask me, they represent our common adversaries irrespective of their tribe, political inclination and religion.

Thanks and have a productive week ahead.

There's a lot of igbo culture being promoted within the igbo-British community. Have a look at the channel.

Ereolamide:
Omenka, this thing wet you do pain me.

I'm disappointed man! I know you're wrote this in good conscience but watch how you would be vilified.

Guys, let this people be, whatever effects IPOB actions will have on Igbos, it is family matter, do you think they don't have the tactile support of their people?

Ooh, na dis kind thing I no dey like! Why didn't you just keep quiet, and let those sycophants of Kanu whose tongues have been laced with deceit and insults, speak first? We all know their attitude. Ereolamide, just hold on, and see how they will reach into their bag of hate to launch e-missiles in Omenka's direction. Dem no dey disappoint, na insult & bile, dem take baptise dem from birth.

@ Omenka, you know I gat your back. On a good day, I would hang in there with you. But not today. See today, I will just keep quiet and be watching from my own corner, because I know they will still do what they know how to do best - tearing people to shreds. I know you reached out in good faith, but just wait and see how they rebuff this gesture of yours'. The ability to recognise good gestures of faith, establish respectful relationships with others or embrace the simple truth, skipped their genes.

AlfaWaleFatai:
your obsession with Kanu makes people love him the more
your hatred for igbos makes them stronger more united than ever
Igbos are the only tribe that can sustain themselves without any form of government aid in the world
so mr igbo hater omenka stop hating on blessed people
take your trashy post to Benue state that are currently under attack by fulani herdsmen
they need you more
Stop forming useless patriot when your people needs your patriotism most
hypocrite

Who dashed you the title of Omoluabi? Just listen to the kind of stuff coming out of your mouth, and ask yourself if an omoluabi would respond to someone in the mannerless way you just did....

In Africa hate speech did not start with d Rwanda genocide it began in Nigeria.Check ur history properly on South West Reps abusing North Reps before independence and calling them all sort of names. Also check the retribution by the North by the likes of Alhaji Inuwa immediately after d SW Lagos incidence. Also check the ones by the leaders in d North on the Igbos and the genocide before the Civil war not to mention the hate speech during d civil war. Also check Buhari hate speech tha led to the death of educated corp members , the one he mentioned baboons and monkeys blood.How would u feel if one of ur family members was among those murdered by his hate speeches.How about the hate speeches before 2015 election by the APC members.Please cure urself of hatred on South East.
Why dont u reason with this,despite all the rallies embarked by Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB and the attack on the govt not a single skin was scratched.What does that tell u? One that NK and IPOBIANS r law abiding and more learned democratically than u when compared to ur demand and support for war and murder and their support and call for referendum.
The fact that some of us have right to key board should not reduce our intellect.

Toh. We'd see how far the insults take us in the very end.

Good morning.

Dear @Omenka,

Your writeup would appear well argued and presented to the undicerning.

A lot of your implied conclusions about the absolute zero value of IPOB ideals to the greater Igbo goals stand right.

But here is where you failed. IPOB was not born after Jonathan's loss.

You wrote:
It is this unbridled hate and anger some opportunistic layabout in London saw and took advantage of, exploiting it to the fullest. Alas, IPOB was born![quote

Ipob existed long before that and had been active through Radio Biafra. You propably started to hear mcu of IPOB from the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu. Many opinion holders believe that the version of Namdi Kanu and his IPOB that really became a central issue arose President Buhari govt's arrest and prosecution of Nnamdi Kanu.

So that said, from you quoted knowledge of Igbos, I expected that you would know a little more than equate Igbos to IPOB. This is the greatest failing of your sermon. I can tell you that up till date, IPOB has not succeeded in winning the support of Igbo elites, Igbo businessmen and traders outside Igboland, who practically worry more about their thriving investments than what IPOB demands; and the Igbo academia. So whose view does IPOB represent? IPOB does not represent the Igbo view. If you care little more, you will notice that IPOB is dominated by illiterate and unskilled artisanian and unemployed youths, who as you rightly poited out, "have nothing to lose"

I made bold below some you 'wild' generalisations.

Hear this, that Jonathan lost is of no matter to the Igbo politicians many of whom have jumped into bed with APC since the dawn of this administration. Talk about Jim Nwobodo, Ken Nnamani, even some governors. On record, no Igbo politician has insulted Buhari.

So, what am I saying, giving IPOB a centrepiece in Igbo narrative is a complete misunderstanding of the Igbo journey. IPOB is a misadventure, promoted to limelight by crude and poor handling by the central government and truth be told, serious minded Igbos in energy, transport, hospitality, commerce, academia and politcs don't really care about IPOB. Today, I won't know how IPOB has become more relevant than MASSOB, or Biafra Zion Movement or, I don't know, there is another Biafra Zion smthn... there are so many of them. Truth is any serious minder government have basically ignored them. Ignore tham and they don't get noticed.

I hope you have picked a thing or two.

Thanks

Didn't Jonathan make similar comment when he was the President? The "igbos are the backbone of my administration" comment, remember that? How many people from the North or South West huffed and puffed about it despite its impropriety?

Now, someone tell me, exactly what advantage has IPOB conferred on the South East since the beginning of their belligerent campaign?

Have more projects gone to the South East?

Have more FDI gone to the region?

Have their governors become more alive to their responsibilities?

Have more appointments been given them?

Do Nigerians love them more?

IPOB has but one agenda alone, chip away at the progress Ndigbo have made over the years in every endeavor they've embarked on individually and collectively.

When I look at what these guys are doing to their brothers, i shudder in disbelief.

Take the small town of Makurdi for instance. The most popular "supermarkets", D. O. Brothers, Togos and Nobis, are owned by Igbos. They own the biggest shopping plazas, Ndupet, Merit, O. G. Winners, Tonimas, etc. They are the biggest wholesale distributors of beverages (OFICON). Etc.

I can only imagine what's going on in such big cities as Kanu, Kaduna, Lagos, Abuja, etc.

What strategy of relocation does IPOB have for these people.

You know what they say about "a man who's got nothing to lose"... A most dangerous man. With no known means of livelihood or investments anywhere, Nnamdi Kanu fits the bill for such a character.

Cornered, bruised and humiliated, they've decided inflammable propaganda is the best way to go. The outbreak of Monkey Pox and the military medical outreach presented them with the opportunity to take another pound of flesh out of "their people" (I put it this way because I believe Neither the president nor the soldiers lost a thing from the events of the last one week, rather, school children did).

But for this silly hoax, one would have thought these people who profess to be very educated and enlightened didn't know we have professional doctors, nurses, lawyers, engineers, etc, in the military!!

How sad.

How an enlightened people could believe a government intent on depopulating them would go about doing so under the full glare of the public using such overt means as injection beats me. More disturbing is the fact their leaders have chosen to keep mum over it.

Let it be known to all who care to listen, the Federal Government of Nigeria won't be blackmailed into treating any particular group of Nigerians "differently".

Maya Angelou once said "Hate, it has caused a lot of problems in the world, but has not solved one yet." That held true then, it holds true now, and it will for centuries to come!

Just like Boko Haram, IPOB has succeeded in bullying into silence moderate and sensible Igbos, but just like my friend on facebook, Gozicon Munachi, it is time for these moderate elements to grow some balls, step up to the medium and salvage what is left of the political and moral patrimony of Ndigbo. Failure to do this would have very far reaching self inflicted negative consequences.

The FFKs of this world would hardly make any difference should things deteriorate any further even though they play very critical role in their escalation. Folks like him have the noose around their necks already, and would do whatever it takes to make sure that noose comes off, it doesn't matter how many lives they sacrifice in the process, just as long as it isn't their family members'.

Even the all knowing and "omnipotent" Ohamadike was nowhere to be found when shiit hit the fan. He still isn't!

This day, I extend a hand of friendship to my Igbo brothers. We may disagree on a whole lot of issues, but we could always do so with mutual respect and courtesy. I hardly agree with whatever folks like Truckpusher or Tonyebarcanista say, but we respect some unwritten rules of engagement. I believe we can at well do the same.

Let us make the most of the union while it lasts. The only people that stand to benefit from the chaos that might ensue from our constant bloodbaths are the elites. If you ask me, they represent our common adversaries irrespective of their tribe, political inclination and religion.

Thanks and have a productive week ahead. [/quote]

Truth is bitter, even to the man that owns the whole truth as it is being told.







I will just watch ,the insults that keeps emanating from some quarters of this country when told the whole truth can boil an ocean that is made up of ice.

are you a new nairalander that you didn't know the obvious hatred omenka harbors for igbos or are you telling me that you're not following his posts
he should be more concerned about his fulani ravaged state that he is yet to accept that fulani herdsmen are the one doing the killings.
they're the ones who need his voice
he should leave SE and focus on his conquered middle belt.
If you have a friend that you can't tell the truth about his behavior is that one a friend?
i guess you're his friend now

If you can't pick out one thing positive from all he wrote down despite your perception about his hatred for the Igbos though last time I checked it was mutual ,then you'll never see it even if the truth should stick out a hand and smack you so hard in the face.
Read the words of your enemy or perceived enemy like a book, try and meet him halfway. You may just be saving yourselves all the attendant brouhaha that comes with hate. Because hate produces nothing but more hate.

As for your last statement, I can categorically tell you that in that field ,we are neither friends nor enemies - It's usually an open season ,we just flow with the tide and that you can't take away from us.

Mutual in what aspect?
Omenka vs Igbo nation.
Na wao

Omenka vs which Igbo nation?? Omenka only faces individuals who toss e-blows in his direction, and he takes them head on. If they happen to be Igbo, so be it. Whenever they launch their attacks first, he simply retaliates and gives them a taste of their own medicine. Now you are claiming Omenka vs Igbo nation. You people know how to form victim, sha.

I don't blame you, though. Na Omenka I blame. He has given you the mouth to talk to him anyhow, because of that message he posted up here. Wubbish!
