Igbo Leaders Seek Audience With Trump by explorer250(m): 7:57am On Nov 16, 2016 |
A pan Igbo socio- cultural group, Alaigbo Development Foundation (ADF) is seeking audience with American President-elect, Mr. Donald Trump, just as it has sent a congratulatory message to him on his victory. ADF is a corporate body of intellectuals, clergy, traditional rulers, businessmen, politicians, women and youth of Igbo origin who are working to overcome the state of endemic corruption, political and economic marginalisation in the country. In a November 12, 2016 congratulatory letter and signed by Prof. Uzodinma Nwala, president and Prof Nath Aniekwu, secretary, respectively, the group said Trump’s role in global affairs and his importance in the world can not be over emphasised. In the letter, the group described the Igbo Nation as one of the three biggest ethnic nationalities that were brought together with several others for the administrative convenience of the British Colonial Regime to make up the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 1914, mainly to serve British interest. It alleged ethnic exclusion, genocide, systemic alienation of the Igbo Ethnic Nationality in the Nigerian Federation, a situation which it said had worsened since the end of the Biafra war in 1970. ‘’We Igbos have no sense of belonging in the political contraption known as Nigeria today. We have also been severally unable to fulfil our legitimate aspirations as a people in the country as a result of its lopsided hegemonic and corruption–driven contrivance. ‘’Igbos are found across the globe, being a great cosmopolitan people with the immense God-given gift of an entrepreneurial spirit and culture. Since the second decade of the last Century, Igbos have emigrated in large numbers to the United States where they found a second home in search of education and attracted by the spirit and practice of self-actualisation, acknowledgment of merit, embodied in the American Dream and the core essence of American democracy; themselves being children of a society that is traditionally republican and democratic in practice well before the inception of the British colonial rule’’. ADF said Trump’s victory “represents a hope for a new world order in which America shall chart an independent foreign policy, especially in Africa, devoid of British colonialist manipulation and interests.” While collectively praying for Trump’s success through God’s blessings, ADF offered fervent prayers for his administration to help usher in a new world order, and reverse America’s pro-British policy in Africa. ‘’ADF looks forward to and will eagerly embrace a new American foreign policy under your leadership that recognises the inalienable fundamental rights of Peoples to the protection of their ancestral homes, their lives, property, religion and their faith, to equity and justice and, above all, their right to self-determination’’. The group recalled that many prominent Igbo leaders and intellectuals were brought up in several American universities including the late Africa’s most famous pan-Africanists, Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe , renowned world Bank Executive Director, Ngozi Okonjo—Eweala, China Achebe, Professor Barth Okechukwu Nnaji and several others. It also expressed the hope that under Trump’s leadership, Igbo citizens who wishs to live and work in the USA would be guaranteed protection and freedom under law by your administration. sunnewsonline.com/igbo-leaders-seek-audience-with-trump/ 11 Likes 3 Shares |

I am igbo... and i can tell u that those things written up there are not entirely true. We igbos are not marginalized politically because of hate or anything but because of wrong political calculations and decisions. You support Gej he lost and Apc won and re saying u are being marginalized politically. Is there someone who told you not to join Apc? To make matters worse what were they supporting Gej for i dont know. None of them can point out one project Gej intiated in the east, federal roads zero, second Niger bridge zero, yet for reasons i dont know they were still supporting him. To add salt to wound ever since Buhari won they have been acting like political militants, they keep attacking everything abt Buhari. Out of no where a hate filled organisation dat is filled with ignorant, illitrates and semi literates appeared from no where and starts insulting everybody they can think of online and on radio. I am igbo from imo state, before u start giving me dat afonja trash or northern muslim trash but if ipob or massob doesnt want to develop sense if sm1 like me deals with u guys ehhhh to u people wont be able to cough Biafra or even see it in ur dreams. 29 Likes 3 Shares |

The Igbo race needs to be studied as a research topic perhaps we can understand how a large set of a large group of people can be this gullible, irrational and weirdly emotional at the same time. Every day, we get a new comical display from this group. Why is it even difficult for these people to go their separate way if that is their choice? Do they think any president of Nigeria will just say "oya Igbos, take this portion of Nigeria and have Biafra"? If the Igbos are united about seceding, they should know how to do it methodically. 25 Likes 2 Shares |

Hahaha Pathetic loosers! Trump dont like you. Trump dont care about your biafra shit and all the senseless noise you making! Go back to nigeria and improve the lives of your people not wasting time of frivolous fantasies. There is no country in the world that will support biafra. Why? Cos it doesnt exist! Biafra is a mythical creation of france to gain share in nigeria's oil. It has absolutely nothing to do with helping igbos. Anything u cant achieve in nigeria, u sure as hell cant achieve it in any other country. Period! 19 Likes 2 Shares |

Small small.. Instead of bringing arguments and act in a way that will keep them from ever thinking to leave, in other words have them feel comfortable and loved in this Nigeria, my senseless neigbours feel that antagonising Igbos is the best way to God as longer as it makes them feel excited, not knowing that Igbos are in no competition with anyone as they are already blessed. Biafra will be declared someday to the surprise of all who kicked against it thinking power belongs to them. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

So Mr igbo, how has apc or buhari helped your life than giving you a platform to hate on Gej, a hero of democracy that if given the chance again Igbos will still vote him than a dullard herdsman destined to rear cattle in daura. 20 Likes 1 Share |

If u want to know d real definition of ignorance join dat radio Biafra london group nd see for yourself. Of recent nollywood actor kenneth okonkwo is their new antagonist that they love to attack ever since he said he doesnt support Biafra. Another igborance dat made me want to give up on them is when they wrote a stup1d article and said Lagos govt is dishing out levies on igbo traders. The question is does the Lagos state govt demand for state of origin card when demanding for tax or if they look your face nd u re not a yoruba or hausa they wud say pay this levy... is dat not ignorance. To make matters worst ipob nd der ignorant boys start boasting dat Lagos state is d richest state in Nigeria because of igbo traders . Am fed up with their level of ignorance and stupidity. Another thing is if u try to reason with them and tell dem the truth they wud declare u a yoruba or hausa man. Or they wont even read in details what u ve to say instead they start insulting both u nd ur generation. 12 Likes 1 Share |

Why should you need any other tribe, especially those you curse, and abuse on daily basis, to assist you in the pursuit of your aspiration? The only way I can help you is through my daily prayer for successful actualization of your dream. Personally, I like to see your back.
