Because ndigbo believe everyone is a king/strongman of his own home.

Ever heard 'igbo enwero eze'?

I may be wrong tho bt that's my opiniõn.

Good question, abeg modify the title of the thread, there is a typo there.
Now back to your question. Every Igboman is capable of leadership. We are republican by nature.

CHIJIOKE1314:
Foolishness made you see Tinubu in a light he himself couldn't even comprehend..

Ndigbo won't allow you deceive them for a long time..
It might click for you in the first year but, all the record you presented would be on your desk for defence in the second year..

I wonder what Tinubu did that we still have people dying of poverty in the SW likewise in every part of this damn contraption called Nigeria..

Dre re many
We just don't worship them like you folks

Rather we have respects 4 technocrats

Like Soludo, NOI, PETER OBI, TONY ELUMELU, LATE AKUNYILI, nad many more
Infact there is hardly a VILLAGE in the east without Technocrats who are directly or indirectly impacting on the lives of dre pple

then the freedom fighters
UWAZURUIKE, NNAMDI NKANU and many more Fighters to come.
Then how does it benefit the political advancement of the igbo within the confince of present Nigerian politics when there is no one such individual who could pull a crowd across state divide


Let me Educate you about an average IGBO MAN ideology,

"As long as u re not his direct benefactor, be you billionaiere, he gives no poo about you"

D only reason you think Tinubu is powerful is because d SW worship him,
M sure u can spot d difference now that it's National politics...


Comprehehnde?

Can you please help me point out the error??

mazifrankmore:
We have men like peter Obi,ekwueme etc whom we respect but can never worship like how yerubas worship looter like tinubu who misled them into voting and incompetent dullard into power.

Igbo man believe in himself first before any leader and daz why we excel.

The answer is local politics.
How local is politics in the core eastern states.
You just have some money bags/criminals reeling out cash to touts and compromised elders .
How many wards have party youth leaders anymore.
Politics in the south east is for who can buy more.

holocron:



Its still very much alive, fortunately or not.

The igbos are a people who in prehistory, experienced the tyranny and injustice of kingship, and have rejected it in favour of republicanism in the best traditions of ancient greek democracy. Hence the saying you quote. To go back to kingship again would be tantamount to a regression.

Abagworo:


More like a Nigerian problem than Igbo problem.

murphyibiam15:
Why is it that there is no single individual in south east who is widely respected across the state divide in south east unlike in the south west were Tinubu is a strongman and northern Nigeria were Buhari is a strong man irrespective of your state..more esp I used to think Buhari was from Kano because of the massive support and 'Said' baba chanter which in started from there...
But in south east it seems no politician is respected beyond his state.
I would have thought about ogbonnaya onu but don't really think he's popular outside Ebonyi state.
Why is this so?? And then is it an advantage or a disadvantage to the political advancement of a region??

OK free correction. The topic should read

"Why Is There No Respected Regional Politician In South East"

Basic principle of most language is "don't waste words"

Abagworo:



You're right. In Igboland everyone has an opinion and people listen to whosoever has the best at the moment. Respect comes more from achievement than from birth. IMHO it is a very good thing.
