DONT mind these men. But when they want to steal they wouldn't remember those lines.

Trust is general human problem is not a problem peculiar to the Igbo,love is trust.

Hmmm it's curious he didn't mention Biafra.
But wait a minute, this old can lie o!
Northerners we see no specialty or superiority in different race. The Islam we generally follow was the first institution to condemn racism where a freed black slave became a governor of an Arab state.
So I don't know which part or who among northerners consider the white man special more than anyone else not to talk of Igbos.
Unless it's his belief that Igbos are imperior to the whiteman and superior to everyone else, but for us northerners we are all equal before God!

When i was warning u about taking osogbo weed u refused to listen...naw c wat is happenin to u..rili sad

somebody lie!!!! Watoff the yoruba?? Dat speech is just to make dem strive more for biafra

The opening line to this thread is just disgusting. So, you believe the 'white men' are at least more important than you (Igbos)? I wonder what goes through some people's thought process.

It's very silly for any body to think a group of people are 'more important' than another. You can only speak for yourself as an individual, EVERY group or race or tribe is blessed.

In a nut shell, bro Ekwueme...just stop.

I laff when they shout freedom.. The Nigerian 'factor' is d only thing keeping them in check..
They have other regions to run to and forget d evil at home

The bloodshed will be too much if they are allowed to go, they'd kill nonsense in themselves just for power tussle.. And no woman will ever hold public office cos they are regarded as subordinates. Why I laff at those forming feminists

Why the elder state man is rating white men above Igbo? Very funny people everywhere.

The statement was on quote "".U should know the meaning.

that iz his disposable cup of shayo .







IMO the Yoruba people are even more important than the white man.






proof is when you observe the way white love adopting Yoruba culture and traditional religions



it iz very obvious

The cause of disunity amongst Igbos is Nigeria!

May God bless u for this insight. Nigeria is a problem to igbo race. to be a good and patrotic nigeria is to be anti igbo and any thing done in the interest of ndi-igbo nigeria is against it.

Igbo politicians are the problem not the people. They are suffering from "pull him down" syndrome.

Truth! But Igbos will not like this, and many of them will be asking for Ekwueme's head now, those untrained Igbos youth will be here to insult him as well.

DONSMITH123:
Elder statesman and Second Republic Vice president, Dr. Alex Ekwueme has affirmed that the Igbo people of Nigeria are the second most important people created by God after the ‘white men’.

According to him, though the people occupy a special place in the heart of God, they find it difficult to trust themselves.

He said until the trust is restored, there won’t be progress in the land.

Ekwueme, spoke at the traders’ summit at Amaokpala in Orumba Norht local government area of the state.

He recalled that Igbos were strongly united before and immediately after Nigerian Independence and wondered what went wrong over the years, considering what is currently happening in the Igbo –speaking states of the country.

He said: “When I returned to Nigeria after my studies abroad, I worked for the then ESSO West Africa Limited and the job took me to many cities in the Northern part of the country. I found out that there was no place you would go and won’t find an Igbo man and they all cooperated well.

“If you wanted to buy APC medicine in any city in the North, whether it was Kano, Maiduguri, Kaduna, Bauchi, Bida, Minna, anywhere, it was an Igbo person that would sell it to you. Igbo people were so industrious that Northerners were saying that after the white man, the next most important person created by God was Igbo.

When Igbo was Igbo, there was so much unity, such that once Igbo leaders met and took a decision, every Igbo person would abide by it. The trust among Igbo was responsible for the reason apprenticeship became popular with the result that parents would allow their children to stay with an established Igbo man to learn a trade for periods ranging from five to 10 years after which the apprentice would then be settled to start his own business.

“Even after the settlement, the newly settled young trader would be getting goods on credit from his former master and return the money after sale because of the trust that existed. But lack of trust has diminished that age long cooperation between the master and his former apprentice, which is very worrisome.

“The main problem of the Igbo today is lack of trust. If we can rebuild the trust among ourselves, our people will be better for it.”

While the former vice president appreciated the efforts of Igbo traders engaged in import business, he advised them to pay more attention to areas that would enhance export, arguing that it was by so doing that they would be in a position to withstand the uncertainties in the foreign exchange trade.

President of Anambra Consensus Project, Dr. Emeka Eze explained that the organization was committed to promoting Igbo ideology, as well as oneness of the Igbo and a unified direction of Igbo growth and development.

He's an anambra man so am in tanderm with his views.....so much more common amongst his anambra people.imagine saying whites are more superior to Igbo...foolish grey hair old man....am a south easterner but truth is that igbos are the worst creatures one will ever want to associate with....so bilious and hateful and always living on clanship pattern...I spit on crazy Igbo fellows...I prefer staying outside south east bc there is more relaxed mind outside

Read the article. He claims that that's what some Northerners said about the Igbos; he doesn't actually say it himself.

I agree with Mr Ekwueme to a certain degree as the apprenticeship scheme has been so beneficial to us over the years; I even believe that it was the reason why we managed to recover so quickly from the economic marginalisation we faced from the Nigerian Government at the end of the Biafran war. However, the issues that we have when it comes to trusting one another isn't specific to the Igbo alone. It's very much a 'Nigerian disease' and starts from the top- the political elite- and slowly trickles down to the bottom- the masses. As a country, both within the Igbo nation and without it, we need to change our whole 'every man for himself' mentality. Once we stop glorifying thieves and start to care about the common man then we'll finally start to see some positive changes in this country.

Some people wont understanding the quote, let me break it down - In the eyes of the Northerner the white-man is god and the Igbo a higher beign.

The Igbos should trust each other more, and be in oneness.

Container Ona High Sea.. i neva hear any afonja or group of afonjas make that statement not to talk of the jihadhist from north.. sheebi ena don ban importation thinking say ena go take our econmic power buh no worry ABA made product go flood market.. the statement go kon be CONTANERS ONA HIHG ROAD/BRIGDE.....

Thank you for clarifying what he said to everyone. I just don't understand why some people won't read before commenting.

I dey laugh in Swahili. Igbo a higher "BEIGN" indeed

How can we trust ourselves when our States like Anambra has been left to rot by Igbo Governor. This is the present state of a major road in Awka. It has been left in this state for so long that Okada men had to organize a little repair. Such a shame.
