igbos always want to dominate. That is their problem

And the Buhari they love to hate knows their antics well.. he is not like GEJ they successfully turned against even his kinsmen


Hausas love to dominate, Igbos love to dominate. That is why Igbos and Hausas relate on a peer-to-peer level and regard Yorubas as subordinate praise-singers

There is a lot to hate Buhari for right now if you’re an Igbo person whose business depends on importing goods from anywhere in the world like China for example. A few years ago, you could get $1000 for about N200k to N250k, now it’s almost double that at N400k. And guess who is enjoying the topsy turvy FX rate, those BDC guys who are mainly Hausa.

If you’re not feeling the bite and still importing stuff, the tariffs at the ports is enough to give you heartaches and kill you. Many Igbos are in the import/export business in Nigeria. The economy is not favourable for business right now.

So, who gets the blame for “making the economy this way”? The guy who promised to “you know, make it all better with a magical wave of his hands” during his campaign. The guy in whose regime, FX is now twice it’s regular value. I don’t know about other people but anyone who messes with my sources of income will be hated with every fibre of my being.

Now let’s go on to marginalisation of the Igbos in his gov’t and the old hatred between the Hausa’s and Igbo’s. Apart from the ministers (according to law, one must come from each state to prevent marginalisation), his other appointments have mostly gone to Hausa, Fulani and Yoruba. Can anyone say the word, “Marginalisation” with me?!

How about the fact that yet another Hausa man is holding the highest office in the land? In our history as Nigeria, only two Igbo people have occupied that office. The second was deposed in a coup which ended up leading to the 3 years civil war in which millions of Igbo people died.

Thanks for changing your mind...check your first post you said that you hated everything North and West. As far as going any where u like its your right...you are always welcome...but please quit the hate.
Go back and read my post slowly, I never said Igbos hated North let alone South West.

I have thought, long and hard on this issue, but, I can't find any logical reason for their dislike, which borders on hate.
I have looked high and low, there just isn't anything, or even a series of things, that I can point out and say, “that's why”.

Op you are very correct and the govt know that very well. The Nnamid Kanu issue messed buhari up among lgbos considering how bad the issue was managed. Forget people saying the hatred has PDP origin. Buhari wasn't smart in his dealing with a tribe like Igbos.

Even the learned lgbos are begining to sympathice with Kanu and that is not healthy for him and his political success. Igbos will definitely queue behind any alternative come 2019 even if it's Abacha son.

This has got nothing to do with GEJ. The coming of Buhari has shown everyone that Igbos were right to have backed GEJ. Everything has crumbled since Buhari came. GEJ was not perfect, he never claimed to be. But one thing is sure, GEJ was a much better president than Buhari can ever be

New year, yet your old lying habits persists.

SE rejected Buhari in 2003 and 2007,even when he paraded Igbo Vp just like we rejected Awolowo in 1979 even when he too paraded Igbo VP.
Of course, we also rejected Buhari in 2011, 2015, and will still reject him come 2023.

The reason is simple, Buhari is an Igbophobic entity, and it's not a co incidence that all lovers of Buhari are inherently Igbophobic, birds of same feathers flock together.

Buhari had demonstrated his Igbophobia many times in the past and continue to do so presently.
Buhari was part and parcel of the Northern counter coup junta that killed many Igbos.
He rejected an Igbo candidate in favour of a Fulani Man from Niger for the post of Sec general of OAU

Buhari out of hatred for Igbo decided to jail Ojukwu in the 1984, because he knew what Ojukwu represented to the Igbo. It was paramount that he disgraced Ojukwu, to please his Igbophobic Nigerian supporters.
https://www.nairaland.com/2084360/why-did-buhari-arrest-ojukwu/1

Buhari currently holds in prison an Igbo freedom fighter, who is loved by millions of Igbos, without any real concrete evidence against him.

Buhari had made it open that he considers Igbos 5% and would marginalize us to statisfy his Igbophobic Arewa-Oduanistan sychophants.

What old habits exactly are you talking about? Speaking the simple truth? I'm sorry there's nothing I can change to, the truth does not change. The hate and bile the SE has for Buhari is primarily rooted in the love the zone has for GEJ (there's nothing to be ashamed of in admitting this); every other thing fronted as a reason is only secondary.

To clarify what you wrote up there, Buhari wasn't rejected in 2003 and 2007 by the SE because he was hated, same way in which Ojukwu/APGA wasn't rejected because of hate. Rather, the SE wasn't really interested in those elections (especially presidential) at that time and there wasn't really any candidate in those elections loved enough by the SE to change that trend; not especially an old Hausa soldier (irrespective of his running mates). The disinterest of the SE in the presidential candidates at the time made it easy for the PDP to do their usual rigging to grab all SE votes, and that was why even APGA with Ojukwu as its candidate couldn't still take substantial SE votes.

The summary of my point is that the conscious hate the SE has for Buhari today stemmed from the GEJ era and it was purely due to Buhari's opposition to GEJ.

Igbos rejected Buhari in 2003, we rejected him in 2011, 2015 and will still reject him come 2023.
He was rejected all those while, not because we hate him, but because we know he is Igbophobic and a part and parcel of the Northern Islamic Fulani hegemony, and so far, he has not proven us wrong.
You can continue linking it all up to GEJ, if that makes you feel better.
But I'm sure you know the bitter truth.

Under Buhari:
1. SE has the lowest government positions.
2. SE has the lowest capital projects.
3. SE has the lowest road projects even when it has the worst roads in the federation.
4. Igbos are killed while protesting peacefully while Fulanis are compensated with money for killing people.
5. SE was called 5% and it was made clear there will be punished for not supporting APC even when there is freedom of choice.
Should I continue...

You should ask Buhari why he hates the SE.

Guy dont fool your self. There is still massive corruption happening as we speak. Governors, Senators, Local Govt Chairmen, Ministers and so on are still stealing the natiom blind. All Buhari is doing is just a comic show. While it is true that corruption should be destroyed, it dies not mean that Buhari has destroy the Nigerian economy, make everyones life harder, and we turn around and congratulate him for fighting corruption. So Buhari cannot fight corruption and grow the Nigerian economy? If he cant do both then he shouldnt be there.

Or maybe, it's because there are no free petro dollars to mask Buhari's incompetence like it masked those of incompetent Nigerian leaders before him.

Buhari is forced to think outside the box to provide solutions to Nigeria problems, as there are no more petrodollars windfalls to
throw at those problems, hence Buhari and his team are being exposed.






So much wisdom. Preach on. I told my father the same thing when we discussed Nigeria economic situation.

Bush destroyed America's economy (remember the meltdowns and multinationals collapsing), handing over a dead cow to Obama, who did everything, including billions of dollar bailout (similar to what Buhari is doing), only for the country to be handed to a scamming, doublespeak, sexist, racist and xenophobic demagogue who can't talk for a minute without self-referral. Have you ever heard the phrase, "Corruption will fight back." History is good at repeating itself.

Actually we yorubas know that Buhari hates Iboes, that was why we voted him. We wanted him to deal with the Iboes and give us all the appointment as we believed we are more educated than the north.

Unfortunately, he preferred to appoint his daura goats and cows than to appoint we yorubas.
Then recession came and hit us harder that distracting us from dealing with Iboes. Now we only think about our stomachs.
