They said he was going to islamize Nigeria, yet he proved them wrong. They called him a terrorist, yet he fought and reduced the strength of insurgency to the barest minimum. They said their brother Ebele Azikwe was a messiah, the hero of democracy, he proved to them and the world beyond reasonable doubt that their brother was a celebrated criminal, even without probing him directly. Now, they propagated news of his death, but today he's in a Aso rock walking on his feet with a beating heart..... Even with all this, he remobilised contractors to ensure the speedy construction of Enugu Onitsha express way, a depleted road and death trap which their brother Azikwe couldn't fix for them, yet the herdsman is fixing it. In all these happenings, our Yoruba brothers are busy sitting on a round table strategizing on ways to fix the west, become relevant in government, and make their region a better place irrespective of who is in power. What do we do, we keep wailing, making the loudest noise like we did in 1967 and got served. Igbos need to sit up and step up their game, politics has gone way beyond the level to which we still operate in.

Typical Nigerian article and way of thinking. The whole paragraph is filled with Yoruba, Igbo, my brother this, my brother that.

People need to start thinking straight - Analyze an issue objectively rather than petty sentimentality, that's gonna take us nowhere Mister man.

Yorooba op doin wot he knows how 2 do best,...


Leave dem alone!

E no concern u if them no strategize,... dey mustn't pander 2 ur whims n caprices




When yoroobas strategize,its for selfish ends for themselves alone(positioning a yorooba vp,incase...) ! See where they put the country now


When igbos strategize,its for the general good of the whole country,...

Do yoroobas care for another tribe but themselves?


Abeg keep ur useless strategy!

You definitely will struggle to make sense of it. I understand.

Can Nigerians eat 3 square meals? No
Do they have access to quality healthcare? No
Is our Education sector up to scratch? No it isn't
Do they have access to energy? No

And yet you are comfortable enough to say they are wailing? The sooner people realize everyone is in this together, the better.

You often instinctively recoil to hate & bigotry. I suspect you must be Ngozi123 a badass tribalist.

So your reading and comprehension skills cannot help you deduce that my point is that EVERYONE is in this together. If that sounds like tribalism to you, pele, I can't help you.

I am just part of the rare people who doesn't advocate for ethnic discrimination ... Even if biafra is actualized, isn't it the same mentality that will rule it? We just want to fight and fight and fight.. If ethnicity is still a major metric for voting a leader then we won't even progress in this country.


Well. I pray one day we shall see the light. For we all are in darkness....

What Nonsense!... I'm not referring to an isolated instance, not on this thread, rather the summation of your disposition largely depicts your true nature & self-deception.

They will definitely come for me, but this isn't 1967 when a general could deceive and lure thousands of naive people into battle, neither would my head make up for thousands of heads that were lost between 1967-1970 because of the greed of a clueless coward whose wife later became an ambassador in a country he claimed to despise.

Take my advice; revisit your profile & be the judge in your own case.


BTW, how is your friend Kathmandu (call her cath), the recession must have dealt her a penurious blow that she couldn't afford data for her online rantings.

What have your tribe got to do with Buhari's illness and why do you single out Igbos as scapegoat for Buhari's misfortune?
Fayose and FFK are they Igbos too and what about Junaıd Mohammed who said Buhari's presidency is over?
Why do Nigerians always like to scapegoat Igbos in everything that goes wrong in this country?You voted for a man who was obviously sick and ill prepared for the job ahead and still turn around to blame Igbos.SMH.
Op I am sorry for you if you are actually Igbo.

I can tell all is not okay with you this afternoon, which is unfortunate.
You quoted me out of the blues on this thread, I challenged your point, you immediately claimed it's a different thread, and now you are talking about stalking.

All manners of human beings on this NL though. Smh.
