Goodluck Jonathan did one thing which resonates, should and does resonate with the igbo : fair play. The igbo I know are not asking for any undue advantage in this country... We just want a level playing field. Let the top security positions be equally available to all... Let innosons of this world get the same encouragement that built the dangotes etc let a femi adesina shine as brightly as a Mahmud jega is encouraged to freely do his work without intimidation. I voted Jonathan because he represented fairness as against nepotism, freedom and fresh air as against suffocating tyranny. Every Ibo I know still would vote for these qualities.

Why do people think that my thread is controversial?
I saw an Akwa ibom Fb group where they were bitter that Igbos labelled Victor Attah as "clueless". I Opened a thread abt them, advocating for IPOB to be open to Contrary view, how is that sentimental?
I opened another thread on how to develop South East. How is that Sentimental?
Even if Okorocha erred (as any1 can) why can't he be forgiven and we move on as a united Igbo race and end this dumb tainting of his image?

Adaure4ever:
and who doesnt err?
No tell me, My deepest fear about Igbos is where this our unorganised nature is driving us to esp. politically!
We have no political bearing now.

Rochas is a crook and a monumental failure
btw
wetin happen to your handle?

Nahwao:



You may have had good intentions by creating this thread, but sometimes before acting out any thoughts you have to assess risk versus reward and choose the lesser of two evils.

Knowing the anti-Igbo stance of Nairaland ( for example, the number of likes in an anti-Igbo tribalistic post vs others) and using examples of predecessors who went your way - examples Berem, Abagworo..................................what positive outcomes did you expect to result from here? How does this compare to what is the reality?

Budget vs Actual analysis:

What we have seen so far:

a. Cheers of tribalists who delight in Igbo downfall.
b. Promotion of state vs state animosity
c. All manners of unpleasant insults levelled at your person.

Your thread has not:

a. Changed Igbo mentality (whatever that is) for the better.
b.Reoriented them to concede to your arguments.
c. Improved Igbo morale while respectfully challenging the status quo and offering new ways of "seeing things."

Even you will have to conclude that your attempt at success has failed, assuming that your intention was to make Igbos have a rethink on Rochas.

Unless this thread is a disguised attempt to "unshackle" yourself from the Igbo vs Nairaland divide and "bat" for the other team, even you must admit that you really didn't think this through.

nobody is a first class igbo, Igbo is igbo forget Chino he's working for his stomach and majority of nairaland igbos know that.

am from Anambra state (onitsha) and i ldetest anything that brings division among igbos and trust me majority of Anambarians do the same.

have you ever seen Anambra people despising other igbos here? (forget chino and abagworo numerous monikers)
my good friend MizMyColi (Imo) is happily married to an Anambra man and just yesterday my Aunt was given away as a bride to an Imo state man ( oguta)
so forget those old men fooling themselves

You see, my dear.
You are right.

I will give my no holds barred perception here.

My Husband's family are lovely people.
I look up to heaven and I wish every woman the kind of in laws I have.
They don't give me the "Imo state" treatment.

I don't understand the crass naivety behind the superiority displays of Imo and Anambra folks online. People who do such, no matter their level of intelligence are spiritually backward beings who lack a sense of what it means to tow the path of brotherhood in all sincerity of purpose.

Based on how my Husband treats me, I would have said....Anambra men know how to treat their women real nice.
But then I remember how kind and loving my dad has been to mom for over two decades and half, which even led me to pray for a husband that is like him and even better than him (Dad is from Imo, Mom is from Imo).

Basically, it boils down to individuals. It boils down to what you want and what you attract to yourself.

I can stomach the superiority displays among Igbos and Yorubas.
But within Igbos too?
What kind of nonsense and ingredient is that nau?


As for Okorocha, my perception of him is that he is an overly ambitious turncoat. I see no visible development. Go to Anambra and see their roads, go to Onitsha and you will see some form of organization despite the rowdiness, etc.

The road connecting Orlu from Onitsha is sooo smooth till you get to imo state boundary.
Poto poto everywhere. What about Owerri Rd?

What Okorocha runs is a government of billboards, by billboards and for billboards.

Just like his ilk in APC, they are all hype without any real salt. They will fare better as showbiz administrators.

Willie Obiano is distinguishing himself. South east governors are doing their thing, no loud noise. Only my Imo State is backward.

Please let me end here.

Enough has been said already.

TRASH! I am a Federal govt. Employed Pharmacist in a govt.hospital.

Adaure4ever:
Rochas Owelle Okorocha, The 3rd Executive Governor of Imo state since 1999 is a popular figure among the Nigeria political sphere.
The purpose of this thread is to examine the level of Hatred and Resent shown to to this man mainly by SOME of his fellow Igbo kinsmen.
We do hear names like Okoroawusa being used at him, we have heard accusations like
1. He is a Sabo and Traitor
2. He romance with the North
3. He is fathered by a Northerner during the war.. Etc
Bla Bla Bla ALL GIBBERISH
....
What exactly have Okorocha commited to attract this hatred?
If he is romancing with the North, Did Azikiwe not romance with the North politically? He did,
so why crucifying Okorocha for his political affiliation with the North?
....
The next one is "Okorocha is Owing Salary " is he the first governor to owe workers salary?
....
"He is an APC governor and support Buhari"
so what? Are we Igbos not Republicans in nature?
Must every Igbo politician be in PDP?
After 16yrz of Loyalty to PDP, what did they give Igbos?
A 2019 Vice Presidential slot, in the midst of PDP being an Opposition now.
Why did they not give Igbos atleast VP when Pdp was in power? Why now that they are out of power?
- Okorocha has a constitutional right to be in any party of his choice and He Has Chosen APC.
....
He is building School in the North, so what?
He is a well known social entreprenuer and His charity have benefit many imo people and other Nigerians.
....
NDIGBO, Let Us Stop this "pull him down" mentality, It is not helping us.
Look at how we are behaving just because GEJ an ijaw man lost an election.
Can the ijaws stand behind an IGBO Man for Presidency? apparently NOT, because an Igbo man contesting for Presidency has a Big chance of winning in Ogun State than in Bayelsa.
....
So why Hating on our own Rochas Okorocha and Heavily backing GEJ an ijaw man?
When did we get to this level?
....
No amount of Image tarnishing can stop Rochas okorocha.
Let him be, I just don't understand this level of hatred shown at him.
NDIGBO, No matter our political different, let us support one of our own. BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER.
Rochas Okorocha Has the Potential To Liberate The IGBO Race From this Political Wilderness We Found Ourselves.

let us hear word jor. She is right, the way some of you south east Igbos behave is annoying.
People must protect their own, she innocently as a land want these insults hurled at okorocha to stop.

HARDBUOI:


u are equally as dumb as her...
i asked her a quetion 2 times and she avoided it.
and d question is..

IS THIS D RIGHT PLACE TO BRING SUCK ISSUE FOR SOLUTION?

SHE SAID SHE IS IN PRO-IGBO GROUP SO WHY WONT RAISE D TOPIC THERE IF SHEZ REALLY CONCERNED AND WANTS A SOLUTUON
BRINGING IT TO NAIRALNAND HERE WILL HAVE NO POSIVITE EffECT WHICH U HAVE SEEN URSELF SO FAR.

BRINGIN THIS ISSUE HERE IS LAME.
