Sure we lifted the nation and gave it a shake. It took the combined forces of many nations to stop us in a 3 year war which claimed many on both sides. We are MEN.

Lifted which nation? Over three million people suyalised and later compensated with 4th class citizen status! I don't know whether you mean lifted a morsel of fufu when over starved Osus were allowed access to food after the war.

when you fight the right battle, you v the gods with you. Yorubas don't fight like mute. They reason before embarking on a mission.

What are they seeking special status for then, they can just force restructure and enjoy all this themselves... oh wait they still need Niger Delta oil and the industrious igbos

Of course they need eastern Nigeria to survive.

Interesting Yoruba vs Igbo mutual bashing thread.

Mayrock:


nobody hates him....how can we hate our own....wee just trying to correct and bring his brain to his default mode.

This thread is inundated with write up implying that the guy can no longer travel home because his hate filled brothers are waiting to deal with him

Yorubas have some highly educated and successful people, nothing against Yorubas in general but they really need to fix that skull mining problem before comparing themselves with Igbos.

Igbos don't do skull mining and human sacrifice for money rituals, that is a huge plus on their side.

This thread has caused me to laugh but deep down it has troubled me.

The amount of hate between various tribes in this country cannot be quantified and it's worrisome.

Anything that touches tribal boundaries precipitates the abandonment of rational reasoning. It's really a shame cos nobody knows tomorrow.

Such a shame.

it will only poison his innocent mind.

Just as you guys are known for and expected. Read my comments and know where I insulted anybody or any tribe. Oh... No Where!!! you be typical idiotic slowpoke. so SE don't have Governors, Igwes and Obi's eh. What I meant by Leader was who your tribe and Hausa people follow without asking anything or to anywhere you are been taken, even off a cliff without asking Hey, Where are you taking us. Upon the whole truth Nnamdi Kanu was saying, majority of Igbos were against him but your stupid dumb brain won't know that. Your case is otherwise. Whoever Jagaban point, na that person you go vote. Even if the person na He-goat, you go still vote am. Tell me, is that not stupidity of the highest order You lots will just be making mouth up and down without any self value or dignity. Igbos are the only tribe in Nigeria that practices real DEMOCRACY!!! Go and suck a cow as usual if it pains you. Foolish human being.

Oponu, keep on wailing

abeg, abeg just hang it there!

Have you seen the calabar man, denigrate the itshekiri or the benin man deny the afemai his right . Please, don't mention use "various tribes" in your quack analysis.

History books are replete with stories of major tribes battling each other, and major tribes marginalizing minorities. I am yet to see minority tribes, on nairaland heralding 16 pages of inter tribal arguments.

Correct yourself and stop repeating what your told by other quack analyst like babajide of channelstv. Major tribes have issues with themselves, the minorities so far have been simply victims of circumstances or dragged into such issues as cannon fodder.

Hate in various tribes .. my foot. Let the Hausa, Ibo and Yoruba be at the tip of your lips when next you talk about hate in Nigeria. Just repeating words like 3 year old.

efighter:


Yes, my brother, Igbos can never be compared to cowards that declared war against the Federal republic and ran to Ivory Coast while over 3,000,000 people were used for pepper soup and suya.

If you remove kwe from your last sentence.

You've just said Igbo is a mad man in other words
Igbos are mad men.

That's not cool stop it.

Yoruba's are never Cowards it shows during the Civil War no Yoruba ran away in battle except One Chest Beating Bearded Leader of Cowards who are known to be Empty Barrels. The likes of Benjamin Adekunle Obasanjo and other Yorubas fought till the end of the war.



My guy we no be mate ,so stop disgracing yourself .

The only thing right about your statement is that "we no be mate" in anything

You can not in one breath raise your children with hatred, bitterness, anger, tribalism and bigotry against other people while in another breath expect them to coexist with the same other people.


You reap what you sow.

Mr man just shut up! Talking as if all you wrote here are not also synonymous with you and your tribe. The problem with you and your people is hypocrisy. Remove the log of wood in your eyes first, hypocrite.

(Profile) Joe Igbokwe: What manner of a crusader?

By OBINNA EZUGWU

On Joe Igbokwe’s Facebook wall are several articles promoting and defending President Muhammadu Buhari, and at the same time, lashing out at those opposed to the president. His latest is a diatribe against Mr. Dayo Adeyeye, People’s Democratic Party (PDP) National Publicity Secretary who he described as “low, timid and crude.”

In another, he insists that his party, the All Progressive Congress (APC) must do all it takes to win the upcoming governorship election in his home state, Anambra.

As the Publicity Secretary of Lagos APC, Igbokwe punches beyond his weight. His tirades resonate across the nation, and he has been at it for a relatively long time.

It was 2013 and the then governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babatunde Fashola had dumped hundreds of Igbo ‘destitute’ at Onitsha head-bridge in Anambra State. It was an act that triggered a series of angry backlash from the Igbo community at home and in the Diaspora. On social media, the Igbo and the Yoruba were at each other.

At the thick of the controversy, two Igbo sons: Dr Chris Ngige, then senator representing Anambra Central zone and Mr Igbokwe who doubled as General Manager of the Lagos State Infrastructure & Regulatory Agency (LASIMRA), and publicity secretary of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) came out in defence of Fashola, insisting that his action was justified. Both men were strong members of then ACN. The former had been elected senator on its platform, the later was appointed by the ACN government in 2006.

In a well circulated article, Igbokwe said there was no way Lagos government would accept influx of beggars from all over the country, and that for those deported, it was for their own good.

“Most of these people picked up are mentally retarded, terribly abused, sexually dehumanized, hungry, weak, and memory lost. What Lagos does is to pick them up and take them to rehabilitation centres,” he wrote.

“Some of them after recovery may decide to engage themselves by joining skill acquisition centres we have all over Lagos, some may decide to join their kits and kin in their States of origin. After interrogations and investigations those willing to go are taken to a central place close to their towns to find their way.”

But on the contrary, most of those affected said they were forcefully picked up and deported against their will. As expected, both men attracted anger and commendation, depending on which side of the divide one was in the argument.

Fashola would eventually put the matter to rest by apologising, but it had telling impacts on the political lives of both individuals. Ngige’s position contributed greatly in costing him his senatorial seat in 2015…he had been a popular political figure prior, beating the late Prof Dora Akunyili to the Senate in 2011, but his fortunes dwindled rapidly after his remarks on the deportation.

For Igbokwe, it helped to shoot him up to national limelight, and to cement the part he has chosen…the part of a crusader, a campaigner for whatever he believes is in his interest. And when such interest collided with that of his Igbo ethnic group, he never hesitated to protect the former, and berate the latter.

He has established himself largely as anti Igbo, or simply anti any interest that does not promote his own political or personal interest. He has not looked back, and fortune, it must be said, has smiled on him.

As a crusader, it is hard to pin Igbokwe down to any particular beliefs or principles. His, it seems, changes with new realities. He had started his life as an activist in the 90s first by highlighting the marginalisation his Igbo ethnic group suffered in Nigeria, which according to him, had continued since the end of the civil war in 1970. And second by aligning with the famous NADECO movement formed in the aftermath of the June 12 debacle.

He spoke out loudly and vigorously campaigned against that unfortunate cancellation of 1993 election. He stood firmly against political injustice, and was all for the restoration of MKO Abiola’s mandate. The prevailing political opinion within the NADECO rank at the time was restructuring and true federalism. Igbokwe was all for it and spoke for it with as much vigour as he demanded that Abiola be allowed to govern.

In 1995, he wrote his first book, titled “Igbos: 25 Years After Biafra,” a book described as being “of mediocre quality” and its analysis as “a wash,” by seasoned writer and lecturer, Obi Nwakama. But Nwakama admits that the book did its job of putting across the message he intended to pass… the message of Igbo marginalisation. The book must have done well financially too, for Igbokwe said he became a millionaire after its launch.

NADECO birthed the Pro Democracy movement which later metamorphosed into the Alliance for Democracy (AD) and Igbokwe was part of it all. He was discovered by the new sheriff of South West politics, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu and it has been a rollercoaster ride.

In 2006, Tinubu made him pioneer General Manager of LASIMRA. That same year, he became the Publicity Secretary of Lagos Action Congress. A job he has kept even as the party changed to Action Congress of Nigeria and now All Progressive Congress (APC). Having spent over 10 years at LASIMRA, in 2015, the new Lagos governor, Akinwumi Ambode moved him to Wharf Landing Fees Collecting Authority Apapa where he now serves as chairman.



But Igbokwe is rarely known for his job at Apapa. He largely made his name as publicity secretary who speaks what he believes to be the mind of his employers. He has been very successful at it, and according to him, it has “opened the doors of the rich and poor… opened the inner ways, byways, subways, expressways and highways to the corridors of power in Nigeria.”

With his success, he admits, came new beliefs. He began to see the world differently. Whilst not much has changed with regards to the marginalisation of the Igbo in Nigeria, which was the subject of his book in 1995, Igbokwe no longer thinks it is necessary to talk about it. He has made his money, he is comfortable and as far as he is concerned perhaps, the marginalisation of the Igbo is no longer a big deal.

“He no longer believes Igbo marginalisation is an issue because of what he has gained from Lagos which the Igbo could not offer him,” notes Chidibere Anthony, an Abuja based legal practitioner. “He is indirectly seeking national relevance through the aforementioned propaganda.”

Igbokwe stood for political justice during his budding years in the 90s. He stood for equity, equality and importantly, he stood for true federalism. But today, he writes long articles to justify the marginalisation of the Igbo by Buhari because according to him, those who didn’t vote for the president deserves no justice, no equity and no equality. The talk of restructuring, for him, may also have largely become the talk of opposition.

“He is a person who has sold his conscience and personality for a morsel of porridge,” says Lagos based lawyer and analyst, Mr Ikechukwu Ikeji. “He speaks for his stomach.”

One cannot help but notice the contradictions in Igbokwe’s character. While the Buhari administration has relentlessly worked to undermine Tinubu, his boss, he does not seem to care either out of sheer ignorance of the prevailing political atmosphere, or he is angling for a new boss in Buhari.

It is common knowledge that Tinubu has been shut out of the government he worked so hard to enthrone. While the former governor’s boys in the media have largely turned against the president whose administration many say, has fallen short of expectations, Igbokwe sees no evil and hears no evil. For him the only truth is what Buhari’s spokesmen put out as ‘statements’. If a scandal is unraveled, he insists that everyone must wait for the “official” position of government for therein exists the only truth.

“Igbokwe is not a character that should be taken seriously,” argues Bar Okey Ilofulunwa, former secretary-general, Igbo think tank group, Aka Ikenga. “He doesn’t have enough grasp of issues.”

About the Igbo nonetheless, he still accepts somewhat that they are still marginalised. In a recent interview with online medium, Sahara Reporters, he said: “Yes, Igbo have been marginalized in Nigeria since the end of the Civil War in 1970. It is a deliberate, systemic, and strategic marginalization.”

But it no longer pays him to make the marginalisation an issue. For it seems the only crusade worth his while is one that will directly or indirectly improve his income.

TeejayMaya:
Joe Igbokwe says it raw!

"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 internety 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.

When GEJ marginalized Yoruba in his cabinet for five years despite been the most vocal in an effort to make him president, Yorubas didn't threaten anybody, they didn't abuse anybody, they simply fought in a peaceful & civilized way to effect a change in 2015 using their PVC. Today the most active VP since the independence & most likely, the next president of Nigeria is Yoruba. Fashola heads 3 ministries & referred to as prime minister in some parlance, Kemi Adeosun heads finance, Fayemi heads mines etc. That's how to fight for relevance in multi faceted country like Nigeria & not taking up arm against everybody.

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"

sometimes you don't use violence to get what you want look at Trump Vs Kim.. if it was Obama may be US be dropping bombs on North Korea.. Igbos are brave people but yorubas are smart people these people will get what they want according to their strengths.. but I repeat sometimes you use words to get what you want not force.

You guys have been hating on each other here, it's not the white people who created your ethnic bigotries.
It's extremely low IQ conspiracy theory cop-out to slander me like that (I tell people not to make ethnic bigtry hate speech all the time) or blame the prejudices and hate on outsiders.

Are the IPOB separatists white? Is it white people not allowing the Igbos to get elected as president or depriving them of major infrastructure? Is it white people who unleash the Fulani herdsmen to kill Christian farmers?

You already have enough animosity and hate, muslim-christian hate included. You don't need anyone putting it there, you have to blame the tribalist bigots here who are screaming ethnic slurs all the time. They were always here.
