A Message To My Fellow IGBO Folks by cheerokee(m): 12:46pm On Apr 11, 2015
ON THE OBA OF LAGOS THREAT TO IGBOS IN LAGOS.
I think we the igbo's have got a real big problem, we are ranting here and
there about the recent threat credited to the Oba of lagos, it seems we
haven't learnt any lesson yet. Our igbo leaders have sold out that region to the
PDP just because of greed and sending the region to political extinction. Now
let us reason together, the Oba of Lagos is not a politician and secondly he
never supported the candidacy of Buhari, which he made it open when
Goodluck visited him before the March 28 poll, he went to the extent of raining
insults on former president OBJ, now he is coming out to create another
confusion by his comment, have we sat down to ask ourselves maybe he
might be working for the PDP? Because they know the igbo factor in the lagos
election, and igbo man can be use to do dirty work, once you grease the palm
of an Igbo man, he can sell his dignity. Why are we not seeing the big picture
here? Why do we always throw away our golden opportunities to develop the
igbo people? Why do we make ourselves to be seen as a betrayer? Lagos
under the leadership of Tinubu and Fashola has recognized the Igbo in lagos
and have been generous to the igbo even to the extent of appointing igbo's
into their administration and allocating juicy positions, it only in Lagos that an
Igbo man has been appointed commissioner for budget and planning, it only in
Lagos that igbo has been elected local government chairman, other non Igbo
states has never done that, yet we allow ourselves to be used against an
administration that has been so generous to us. I think we should be ashamed
of ourselves because we have a very big issue, during the fourth republic, the
Igbo had the senate president and we killed ourselves, we masterminded the
impeachment of our fellow brother because of position, it is only the igbo turn
that we had 3 senate president in four years, we are the same people who
witch hunt down our own blood brothers because of greed, Buhari floated CPC
and won some states in the north and today all those governors are still with
him up to date, tinubu created ACN and won all 4 states in the west and today
they are still with him, Orji Uzo Kalu formed PPA, won abia and Imo, but what
happened? They went back to that same PDP that sent them out. You are
destroying yourselves, making yourselves inferior to other region, becoming a
follower because you have refuse to have a leader as a result of lack of trust
in each other, we know Buhari, Babagida, Atiku etc as current leader in the
north, we know Tinubu, obasanjo, in the south west, we know Edwin Clark,
Anenih, in the south south, who is our own leader in the south east? Ojukwu,
who risk his career, life and family for the Igbo nation created APGA and yet
he cannot lay claim to the whole of igbo state, this is a shame on us and the
worst of it is that, they have sold out that legacy after his demise, former
governor Peter Obi is a betrayer, he dumped a platform that gave him 8 years
in office, and became a follower, I can still align with rochas, he collapsed his
APGA in forming APC, he can be adjudged as a founding member of that party
unlike Peter Obi who joined an already existing platform, Theodore Orji can be
described as the worst governor in the southeast yet he has the mandate to
represent in the senate, Stella oduah has corruption charges hanging on her
neck yet she got an heroic welcome in her state and was given the mandate
to senate, we openly celebrate criminality and yet we want to be accorded
respect, in my own view I think the Oba was even kind, he should have said
igbos will be delivered to shekau to deal with them or even put them in a
container and bombed. What were you thinking? You think just as you have
deprived yourselves an association with the federal government, so they will
allow you to make their state loose same too, no way! They want development,
lagos has recorded so much progress in the last 16 years without much federal
empowerment, have you though how much more progress it will have with the
federal might? I pity you and your investments in Lagos. You said you want
independent. I laugh, because have always asked where are the leaders that
will govern us? Nwazurike formed MASSOB, today you said Jonathan has
bought him over, hundreds of MASSOB members are in jail today, they have
been denied bail but non of the Niger delta militant were jailed rather the
collect billions of naira and they are sent abroad, yet you voted and cast ur
support on Jonathan, I was told that it was the south south that betrayed
Ojukwu during the war and he lost, thousands of Igbo died, yet you all shout
GEJ till 2019, well thank God it didn't come through, because we are daft, he
changed his name to Ebele Azikwe and we followed and say he is our brother.
APC has come out to tell you to ignore the Oba, Tinubu has come out to do
same, he went ahead to asked if the government have not been paying the
school fees of igbo children in public schools, 4 igbo children has been given
opportunity to become governor in a day in Lagos thru the spelling bee
contest, they have enjoyed scholarship to study abroad in Lagos, yet we still
shout everyday that the Oba threatened, why didn't ur so called Eze's protest
at the meeting? The clapped for him because they are bunch of cowards. Well
for me, an Igbo boy, born and breed in Lagos, I am appreciative of that state
and will support it. Eko o ni baje.
