Igboid:So does it mean the Igbo may not be able to produce a politician who is so popular across south east states?? For instance an Ebonyi or Abia people have no influence from peter obi who is from anambra or anambra people have any influence from ogbonnaya/Anyim pius who are both from Ebonyi Don't u think is a disadvantage politically |

Igboid:I think you clearly nailed it but don't you think that if one builds something somewhere else ,he will be definitely mocked and tounted that his own place is not developed just as we have in igboland when most developments where concentrated in regional quarters..I don't support it though.. If the Igbo can get out of this mess I believe the Igbo will have political change |

rowanMama:Exactly what I see it to be too...imagine after peter obi speech most where thinking he's popular over south east without knowing that the guy is only known under the confince of his anambra or is it rochas who's not even popular in IMO or ogbonnaya on who's doesn't even wierld much power in Ebonyi. Wonder how south east will be able to produce a president going by all these |

murphyibiam15:Stop making mockery of yourself by mentioning Peter Obi as a potential Igbo leader. The man is a cheap liar and a montmental fraud. He looted anambra treasury mercilessly and still has to answer for the murder of innocent Biafrans while he was governor. |

Igboid: Correct, the answer is "an average Igbo man is selfish" Thank God this generation are waking up with the help of Nnamdi KANU. We are gradually changing our orientation. Nnamdi KANU made the saying "Igbo ewenghi eze" a refuted claim. The only thing about us is that we are self serving. But this is gradually changing. I've been looking towards Pat Utomi. But some folks we know will still do what was done in the past. One problem is ignorance. An average Igbo man is ignorant of consequences and things that are happening outside his enclave. They only see their surrounding. They Dont care about the brother outside. This need to change. |

Proudlyngwa: They are the same. The ideology gives birth to the institution. The igbos are conversant with the two, but have rejected it; hence "igbo amaghï eze". An ancient adage says that the EZE title is the highest any man can obtain in igbo land, and in order to make the Eze title unattainable, tradition stipulated that one of the requirements must be that the title seeker must feed the towns he seeks to lord over in kingship, all by his own personal efforts. That is clearly impossible. You see kings pretend to do this by first confiscating the land or other means of production of the people, then granting it to them again as if by the King's grace. Thus it appears as if the king is the source of sustenance of the people, when it is vice versa. 1 Like |

What the Igbo nation need in terms of leadership, in this dispensation, is someone with the right vision of uniting Igboid group and making them a strong political/economic power house. Political leadership that is focused on getting the Nigerian Presidency is a waist of energy and time. |

I taught abt this issue.I came to conclusion that Igbos will always be dead politically until they leave this emcleff called Nigeria. 1. The idea of supreme leader is almost a taboo to Igbos 2. Even if Igbos actually get a president tommorow. It will be a doctored Igbo/Hausa/Yorouba like Rochas. Which I know his impact won't be felt by Igbos. 3. Igbo enweghi eze is an idea that can never be tarnished in Igbos mindset. That's why this Osu matter may never die. Imagine when Nwafor Orizu and other Notable leaders came together over abolishment of Osu traditionally.. After it the people requested if they are serious, the kings involved should marry Osu before others can follow... But as usual None agreed to take the first step. 4. The rate of Competition in Igbo land is too much, Nobody wants to Agree that another is greater than him even when all evidence is pointing at it. And I think its an old issue passed from forefathers cos every igbo man takes huge pride from their venture wether small or big and will never allow intimidation over it. 5. Same Enweghi Eze mentallity distracted Biafran actualization when it was first declared cos Ojukwu was not ready to listen to Elites advice. Watch Nwobodo interview on Youtube you would see Nnamdi Azikiwe was the man many allies recognize during the Biafran War. I still believe the reason why Biafran failed is because Ojukwu was bent on going to war even When elites were against it. Everybody like Azikiwe,Soyinka,chinua achebe were all for biafran before Ojukwu rush to win through war but As usual, Nobody recognize this people because everybody and not some set of people wants to make an Impact. In conclusion is a big disadvantage to Igbos in Nigeria and a Big advantage if they finally actualize a country that would honour this indept tendencies. That's why I always believe that non-igbos like Awaibomites and Deltans will enjoy Biafra more politically because the core Igbos will be busy fighting who is greater than the other. 2 Likes 1 Share |
