^^^I swear, it's these beggarly greedy and selfish old fools that are our biggest problem!

Our only option as a people is to either agitate for a true fiscally compliant federation, a confederation, or everybody should go answer their papa name.....simple! Not all this stupid going to beg a Fulani man not to forget Igbos! I mean, have they no shame!? These people they're going to 'beg' are the very same people that have hated, marginalized and murdered Ndigbo......and there's no sign that they're remorseful for their past actions, yet some old fools are going to 'plead' with these very same people 'not to forget Igboland'!

Since the end of the uncivil war, we've had bastard sons and daughters like these fools that have done exactly what these knobheads are doing today, yet where has it left us as a region compared to others in attracting 'federal attention and projects'!? People that hate you will continue to hate you, so you better wise-up and fight for true freedom and not all this nonsense they're asking Buhari for!

Fools!!

You couldn't spell the word "illiterate" correctly and you dare call a retired General, who rose through the ranks of the Nigerian Army an "illiterate".

I'm very sure your Father is not as literate as Buhari...

Oloshi!

The problem with your write up is that you don't seem to understand that not all of us see our selves as Nigerians. What is a Nigerian except a west-African who subscribes to an 'colonial identity' foisted on him by a British profiteer called Lugard? You have no country as at yet.

Taaa... The South East supported President Goodluck Jonathan fully and we owe no one an apology. If we have 100 chances we will still vote for President Goodluck against the Fura drinking general and we don't want any appointment under his administration. No Igbo man in his right sense will work UNDER an illiterate.

Nonsense.

FROM DAVID ONWUCHEKWA, NNEWI

Some Igbo leaders including retired Army Generals and the former President General of Ohane­ze Ndigbo, Dr Dozie Ikedife have paid a private visit to the President-elect, Gen­eral Muhammadu Buhari to make a case for the Igbo in the incoming APC-led feder­al government so that the re­gion will not be abandoned for not giving massive sup­port to the victorious party like the South West during the just concluded presiden­tial election.

Dr Ikedife who disclosed this at his Nnewi residence, yesterday, said the purpose of the visit was to appeal to General Buhari not to leave the Igbo in the cold in his ap­pointments and infrastructural development because of the low support he received from the South East geo-political zone during the presidential election.

“You know people of the South East voted heavily for the PDP and not very much for the APC. And I had always warned during the campaigns that the Igbo should not put all their eggs in one basket. And the impression will be that the President-elect was not sup­ported by the people of the South East. Our visit is to let the President-elect know that he is the President for all and that he has to accommodate people from the South East in his administration.

“We have people who are capable, qualified, hardwork­ing and technocrats who can work with him in Igbo land. We have people like the former Governor of Abia State, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, very brilliant and very respectful. We have Oscar Udoji and other people of high integrity and dedi­cated politicians like Dr Chris Nwabueze Ngige. And there are people who worked tire­lessly for the APC to win in the South East, people who did not vie for any elective position, no matter the low number of votes they attracted because of the overwhelming South East sup­port for the PDP. It is important that these people should be ac­commodated,” Dr Ikedife said.

He noted that it was a fact that the National Executive Council (NEC) of the APC had done its zoning as to who got what, the Igbo, he insisted, should be well accommodated and not to be left to pick the crumbs.

Dr Ikedife explained that he was too old to be given any se­rious appointment, adding that his agitation was to protect the interest of his race as an Igbo leader.

He said their discussion with General Buhari did not centre on infrastructure in Igbo land, “but during the President-elect’s campaign in the South East at the last presidential campaign, I chaired one of the occasions when he visited the entrepreneurs and leaders of the economy in the South East where we presented our prima­ry needs including electricity, water, roads and the construc­tion of the 2nd Niger Bridge, and so on. We documented these things.”

On General Buhari’s reac­tion to their request, he said the President-elect was friendly and appreciated the visit but did not say outright that he was going to grant the request or not “since we did not sign any contract with him.”

He said General Buhari listened to them carefully and that the team was of the hope that in fullness of time he would react positively so that the Igbo would be carried along in the scheme of things.

Remarkable:
Buhari needs the Igbos more than the Igbos need Buhari... if he choses to neglect the SE (or any other part of the country)... whether it will positively or negatively affect his administration or its image thereof... is any one's guess.

Gbawe:
Dr.Ikedife has nothing to fear. Buhari is a fair and principled man. There is nothing in his character that would allow him to marginalise or mistreat any ethnic group . In fact I suspect Buhari will be especially good to the Igbos because the General realises that old wounds must heal if Nigeria is to get the best out of all her citizens.

The truth is that Igbos can become very fond of and supportive of Buhari, despite their electoral rejection of him, if the General leads all corners of Nigeria well and assist the completion of projects important to the Igbos that the cynical and self-serving GEJ never bothered with. I think Buhari will actually go out of his way to respect and assist Igbos. I would personally, if president, because leaders must always rise above shallow sentiments to unite those they lead and foster the development of reconciliation, inclusion and peaceful coexistence that delivers socio-economic development Of a people. A Nigeria consisting of ethnic groups primed to fight and resist each other always is not good for the prospect of a great Nigeria.

And the problem with people like you is that you do not understand that there are ways to show you don't see yourselves as Nigerians which would make others take you seriously. You understand the saying "charity begins at home"? Why , if serious about your wish to reject and move away from the rest of us, do you not insularly remain in your domain and make it a microcosm of the separate "great" nation you claim you want and are capable of building?

What would make other Nigerians and indeed the entire world take you seriously more than this? Yet you come here daily telling us all other Nigerians are your problem and are the groups "holding you" back meanwhile your nomadic lifestyle, typified by your readiness to go anywhere in search of wealth and prosperity, mark you out as confused , hateful and hypocritical.

If you do not feel Nigerian, and this is truly a general feeling of your ethnic group all Igbos adhere to as a matter of principle, why not begin showing us you mean business by shunning interaction with the rest of Nigeria to make Ebonyi, Anambra, Abia, ENugu, Imo et al superlative models of how Igbos can create paradise in any space they are completely free to define? Or are you not free to define your space as you wish? Yet why do you leave your domain in droves to adopt the language and culture of others only to turn around and say those same people you willingly travelled to live with hold you back? I will never take your kind seriously as long as the real actions of Igbos on the ground show they need other Nigerians more than the other way round.

Good Nigerians, to include Igbos, are sick of the hypocrisy of bitter individuals like you who are unwilling to let go of the past. The way forward is very simple. You don't "feel Nigerian" then stay away from Nigerians completely. Don't trade with them, don't migrate to where they live and don't interact with them socially. You have the States to enable you to do this, i.e keep to yourselves. We are all sick of your bitter diatribe where you hypocritically say you want your own Country and that the rest of us hinder your progress yet your real nomadic lifestyles bear people like you out as confused, hateful and bigoted hypocrites.

If you and other secession-minded Igbos are genuinely intelligent and sincere then you would have realised that land borders mean nothing to resolute and 100% sincere agitators. You can create an insularly great Igbo region, irrespective of Nigeria and definitive of the "supremacist" talent you go on about non-stop, if that is genuinely what majority of Igbos want and are committed to delivering.
