Igbos And Nigerians by Akiintom: 7:18am On Jun 10, 2017
Copied from Babatunde Jose, Esq.

IGBOS AND NIGERIANS: In their confusion, infusion and frustration arising from pride and over estimation of themselves leading them to a series of saboteur maniac syndromes.

Igbos broadly divided other Nigerians into three broad categories. Those they hate, those they deride and those they fear. Those they hate are the yorubas whom they call traitors, tribalists and cowards. Yet no race in Nigeria have been more tribal than the lbos.

There are historical facts to prove this. If something is ten and igbos are not allowed to take 15, so that the rest of us can share minus 5, lgbos will cry marginalisation and label the rest us tribalists. However there is no race in this country that have been more accommodating of the lgbos than the Yorubas, there is no single igbo leader that did not grow up in the South West or is a beneficiary of Yoruba largesse.

Zik went to CMS GRAMMAR SCHOOL, Adolphus wabara went to AHMADIYA COLLEGE AGEGE, Ken Nnamani went to LOYOLA COLLEGE IBADAN, Ojukwu and Ekwueme went to KINGS COLLEGE, Okpara went to YABA TECH while Phillip Emegwali went to AQUINAS COLLEGE, AKURE. Even my brother Anadu went to IMADE COLLEGE OWO etc All major Igbo politicians cut their political teeth in the West. Their major religious leaders cannot thrive outside the West. Pastor Muoka, Pastor Ezekiel of Four Square and Okonkwo of TREM are examples.

I remember that after the civil WAR, Igbos who came back to ILE IFE were allowed TUITION FREE while the YORUBAS in NSUKKA were rusticated. Example is Pastor Adeboye. Yet lgbos reserve their greatest hatred for the Yorubas for reasons being that the yorubas refused to be dominated by the lbos to confront the North.

As to the label of cowardice, had there been any war between the yorubas and the lbos in which the lbos defeated the Yorubas? In the whole ancestral history of Ndigbo, which war has the forefathers or great forefathers fought? Any empire in their history? Yet the yorubas have worsted the lgbos four times in the political history of Nigeria.

As to the label of treachery, had there been any agreement the yorubas signed with the lbos and they reneged? The answer is no. Yet the yorubas have records of Igbo treachery on the two occasions they formed alliance with them. In 1964 to fight the federal election, the yorubas formed an Alliance called UPGA with the Ibos to be led by Okpara because major Yoruba leaders were in jail. There was an agreement that the election must be boycotted. The Igbos sabotaged it, went and contested election while the West kept to the agreement.

In 1979 the West went into alliance with the lbos and formed PPA - PROGRESSIVE PEOPLE ALLIANCE. Again Igbo sabotaged it so that they can produce Speaker house of Representatives. Who then is traitor? The second category are the Eastern minorities made up of present Rivers, Akwa lbom, Cross Rivers and Bayelsa. The igbos see them as subhuman with tidal brain. Until the creation of Rivers State by Gowon, no OGONI man can sleep on the hospital bed in Bori GENERAL HOSPITAL . As at 1977 only UYO ,PHC and CALABAR had electricity light. They were so underdeveloped by their Igbo overseers that you will think that you were in the Congo jungle.

Until Diette Spiff, there was no Ikwere named Street in Port Harcourt. To show how deep the derision is, the present Biafran agitatators changed the name of RIBISI (Phc) to IGWOCHA as if the IKWERES do not exist.

The third category are the Hausa Fulani. The igbos pretend to hate the Fulanis but the truth is that the Igbo man is subservient to them. Ignore the noise. There are historical facts to justify this. Zik served under BALEWA, EKWUEME served under SHAGARI and EKEREMANDU zoned the PDP presidency to the North because he wants to be the VICE PRESIDENT to a Northerner.

After the civil war and OJUKWU was granted amnesty for his rebellion against constituted authority, he returned to Nigeria and he joined the Hausa fulani party (NPN) of those he accused of genocide against his Igbo people. It is Igbo tragedy that they hate and deride those who grow and sustain them while they cringe to those(the hausas) who kick them like balls. Igbos are the only race in nigeria that celebrate failure.

In 1982, the igbos celebrated the defeat of biafra by welcoming ojukwu with fanfare on his return from asylum haven been granted amnesty by the igbo overlords- the hausa fulani. He revelled in the fanfare and promptly married FFK left over- forgotten the over 3million lgbos that died in the war and with many of them languishing at OJI RIVER CAMP.

The second celebration is the release of kanu with the most humiliating bail conditions ever granted an accused in the annals of Nigerian justice system. A bail conditions targeted at the entire Igbo race and granted by an Hausa Fulani judge.

I could not believe that with all the noise, such bail conditions will be signed. But he signed and in his eagerness to leave kuje he abandoned his two conspirators in kuje. The bail conditions wiped out the Identity of the ibos and EKEREMANDU was made the enforcer of the conditions. FFK is a polemist like Femi ARIBISALA etc. They have the capacity to argue both sides of the same point.

The igbos regard him as their hero just like Ayo fayose the Eze gburugburu the second. I hope very soon the by Igbo will not start blaming fayose as they blamed Awo for everything that went wrong with their prosecution of the biafran war. I rest.

THE NORTH SHOWS LEADERSHIP.....

* When Terrorist Nnamdi Kanu set up a pirate radio station in April 2015, and started insulting President Buhari and northerners, calling them all manner of unprintable names, no state governor from the Southeast called for the arrest of the cantankerous rabble rouser, instead, as it later turned out, Nnamdi Kanu was just a front being used by Igbo politicians to intimidate, blackmail and subvert the President Buhari administration!

* When IPOB grew and became a platform on which every mentally deranged Igbo youth stood to insult the person of PMB and his supporters, we have not seen nor heard any Southeast governor or prominent leader call for caution!

* We have heard and seen from certain thugs, militants or terrorists from the South/South and Southeast worst statements of threats and insults against "parasites", usually a euphemism for northerners. But while all those threats and insults lasted, never have we heard or seen any governor from down that side rebuking or ordering the arrest of those miscreants!

* We have seen how the Southeast hired and commissioned a morally bankrupt hate merchant like Femi Fani-Kayode to be spewing hatred and insults on daily basis against President Buhari and northerners, to the point that an Igbo newspaper, DAILY SUN, gave him a column where he wrote hate-filled articles against PMB and the north, yet not once have we seen or heard any Southeast governor or prominent politician from that region condemn Fani-Kayode or even call for his arrest!

As a matter of fact, northern Nigeria has suffered incalculable insults, denigrations, and all manner of mischief from all such hate mongers since 1966 up to the conversion of Boko Haram to "Boko Haram", and yet there seems to be no letup on the undeserved attacks and insults against the north and its leaders. What you need to be a "hero" in some quarters is to demonstrate that you are an imp like Femi Fani-Kayode, Ayo Fayose, and Nnamdi Kanu with undying thirst to fan hatred and mischief against PMB, and this visceral hatred against PMB by these sons of Lucifer is simply based on where he comes from, and we all know where their largest fan base is!

In spite of all that, it is condemnable that the Northern Youth Coalition chose to toe the path of IPOB, Femi Fani-Kayode, Ayo Fayose and all the ragtag groups that speak for Terrorist Nnamdi Kanu by calling on the Igbo to leave the north within three months. It is understandable, anyway, the anger and frustration a group of people may feel when they are the subject of hatred and ridicule by people with overrated self importance, but in times like this, it is always expedient to keep a cool head and show leadership in just the same way Governor Nasir el-Rufai showed how venerable monger power he was, by asking that those northern youths who asked that the Igbo leave the north be arrested!

However, patriotism in a diverse, multi-ethnic, and multinational country like Nigeria should not, and cannot be a one way traffic. As much as it is wrong for northern youths to ask for the departure of any ethnic group from the south from the north, it is equally much wrong for any group from the south to claim monopoly of sectional bigotry. I have seen hypocrites celebrating their full scale hypocrisy by condemning what those northern youths coalition said whereas they are well known as ardent supporters of IPOB and their allied groups. Tit for tat ain't good but not everybody can endure persistent, unrelenting insults and regional blackmail.

El-Rufai has shown that in the midst of needless provocations, and dearth of leadership among the provocateurs, there is no leadership in the northern part of the country. And this is the same el-Rufai every slowpoke that adorns themselves with IPOB flags love to label as Hell-Rufai on social media.

My own anger against the Igbo leaders, is their insidious and mischievous mute, on the senseless behavior of neo-biafrians, who are mostly fetuses or infants when the civil war happened.

It's more pathetic for them this time, because, if war should occur ( a rarity) again, their loss will be infinitesimal, compared to 1967.

Again, with all these childish ranting of neo-biafrians, they are effectively clogging the wheel of their political prosperity.

This is the manifest foolishness and pettiness of the neo-biafrians:

Without noise, your biafra can happen at snap of fingers. Let all the Igbos in every nooks and crannies of Nigeria, move to the SE geopolitical zone, and remain there.

Nobody will begrudge you for that.

Staying in Nigeria that you called zoo, and making noise from there, is the grand definition of illusionary quest.

You should go and study more about Nigeria's history. In 1967, Igbos returned home in their millions to face Biafra. It was you Nigerians that came to the East to fight for 3 years to bring Igbos back into Nigeria. Now, you are asking Igbos to repeat what did not work last time?

Since you Nigerians fought to hold on to Igbos, it is now incumbent on you people to show you now mean business. Join the call for the creation of Biafra. After Biafra is finalised, then you can ask Igbos to go.


You cant ask Igbos to go while there is still 'one Nigeria', thats like asking a person to go home while you hold on to the keys of the persons house.

Did you see anybody ask The Scots to go back to Scotland when they had their 2014 referendum?

But make no mistake about it, I and my fellow Igbos will one day exit this zoological Republic of Lord Lugard.

Thanks for pouring out your hatred of Igbos.
But do you think you have made any sense in this garbled piece of nonsense ?
You know, any fool can also write volumes of garbled innuendos against any tribe, including yours, to justify dislike, loathing, envy or fear.
Like most Igbophobes , you failed to show how and when an Igbo or the Igbos ATE YOUR LUNCH.
You only succeeded in showing your deep inferiority complex.
And that is what it always boils down to: inferiority complex.

But more than that, it takes a very very shallow, very very weak and cowardly mind to come out on social media to proclaim hate for a people, an entire race that have committed no crime against you.
When Hausa Fulani slaughtered tens of people in Ketu last year, I guess your cowardly mind was in a cowardly coma to come out on social media to show your outrage or disgust.

When same Hausa Fulani slaughtered hundreds in Ife earlier this year, no one heard your cowardly voice on Nairaland. I guess you must have been preoccupied with more important matters, and no time to come online to berate the aggressors.
Is this a case of Stockholm's syndrome ?

If you think Igbos are your problems in life, then I urge you to stay in the North in the following months, and we wish you a happy union.

Now, for the record, Igbos have a legitimate right of self-determination.
The online rantings from insecure chickens and favored slaves of the Hausa Fulani feudal serfdom only makes Igbo more determined , and the goal more imperative.

The fact is Nigeria has been a dysfunctional state for a very long time.
There has been many attempts to build unity and national cohesion by building strong democratic institutions.
But from historical facts, it has always been northern elements that have tended to truncate attempts at unity and national cohesion through their inordinate greed for political power at the center.
This is not my opinion, but facts.

No matter what you think of OBJ and Jonathan, the 16years of democratic government under them witnessed economic progress, national cohesion and less NEPOTISM and ethnic rivalry.
So, it's understandable why every group adopted a wait and see attitude
Now, when the current president came to power, what were his first utterances and acts?
What is the current State of national unity and cohesion ?
Whose fault is it ?

And yes, Biafrans or Niger Deltans have the right to say that we are sick and tired of being relegated to political serfs under Hausa Fulani feudal fiefdom.

For your information my dear friend, Biafra is deeply imbedded in the heart and soul of every Igbo soul since the civil war.

Do you think Nigeria is a united country?

The very method of the pursuit, of the mirage called biafra, from its sickly conception, by its progenitors and the present neophytes, betrays shallow thinking.

You speak as if you are ignorant of history. Every revolutionary idea starts out as a grand heresy, and its champion, a delusional heretic.
Anything worth having, is worth fighting for.
Like I said before, Biafra resides in the heart of every Igbo person. This latent feeling is there and has always been there, embedding deeper with every instance of institutionalized injustice against the Igbo people since after the civil war.
Kanu is not Biafra, but only a provocateur, a rekindler.
Kanu is not the leader of Biafra, but a brave symbolic of its symbol and tenacity.

Let me ask you. I don't know how old you are, but when was the last time Nigeria, any part of Nigeria , had a youthful leader that fought for something, anything at all ?

Kanu is a refreshing emergence and presence in a population, especially the youthful population, that had been betrayed and cowed by one set of oppressors after another.
Kanu's brave and exemplary fight is for everyone in Nigeria, every oppressed person in Nigeria.
Youths like you should be able to look beyond periphery and see Kanu's fight for what portends for Nigeria.
It is either Nigeria comes out better from it, restructured for more regional independence, a more equal, more just and progressive nation , or pls give me Biafra.
It is as simple as that.

I personally bemoan the lost capacity for rational and progressive thinking, that now afflict youths, who crave the primitive and crude idea from Kanu.

Boy, you live in the 21st century world, it amounts to pathetic case, to find direction in the delusionary path, that Kanu has charted.

You can can fire as much invectives at Kanu as you wish.
He is obviously 10x the man you could ever be, even if does absolutely nothing for the rest of his life.

The point is that you , as a youth , have never in your generation had a leader of any sort. Therefore, you are the least qualified to speak about leadership , its qualities and what it means. You have absolutely zero with which to make any form of comparisons.
There are no text book manual of what a should.look like or method for his struggle.
The fact that you and I are having this discussion means that Kanu has already succeeded beyond his own expectations. That's the point that eludes you.

By their choice of words regarding Kanu, it is obvious that only only people bereft of courage that tend to despise him.

Sorry boy, I'm conscious not to fashion my life, after bull headed and inordinate intransigent folks.

From Kaduna Nzeogwu to Ironsi to Ojukwu and now to Kanu, all liars, power drunk, hypocrites and cowards.

Let me remind you, Ojukwu was whipped back from Ore, on his way to Lagos, during the foolish campaign. Is ore or Benin part of biafra land?

Nzeogwu executed a coup, wherein no single notable Igbo leader was killed. But northern leaders were desecrated. Ironsi pampered the felons, until Ironsi's sore did festered.

You guys have offended innocence, and trust has become a commodity you can never be accorded.

Your not making any sense. Was it not Biafra that first invaded Nigeria?



kingzizzy:


You should go and study more about Nigeria's history. In 1967, Igbos returned home in their millions to face Biafra. It was you Nigerians that came to the East to fight for 3 years to bring Igbos back into Nigeria. Now, you are asking Igbos to repeat what did not work last time?

Since you Nigerians fought to hold on to Igbos, it is now incumbent on you people to show you now mean business. Join the call for the creation of Biafra. After Biafra is finalised, then you can ask Igbos to go.


You cant ask Igbos to go while there is still 'one Nigeria', thats like asking a person to go home while you hold on to the keys of the persons house.

Did you see anybody ask The Scots to go back to Scotland when they had their 2014 referendum?

But make no mistake about it, I and my fellow Igbos will one day exit this zoological Republic of Lord Lugard.

Oh. And I mistakenly thought we were having a genuine discussion of current events.

It's obvious that you are just another Lilly livered Igbo hater.
It eats you soooo deep, as deep as your personal insecurity and inferiority complex about Igbos and the word Igbo itself.

I am not surprised that Kanu's courage reminds you that you are perhaps half or a quarter of a man, considering that you have and see nothing in your life worth fighting for or agitating for.

They deliberately don't teach you dimwits history in school, for the good reason that they don't want you to ever understand events and issues in a broader historical perspective other than a narrow , stomach infrastructure perspective. Example is your shameful " political prosperity" nonsense.

As a Yoruba that I assume you are, you are ignorant of the struggles of Obafemi Awolowo against your current slavemasters
,and how his struggles and agitations paved the way for whatever benefits your parents and you enjoy in this contorted federation.
Cognitive dissonance wouldn't also allow you to remember that Obafemi Awolowo was the first Nigerian to face trial and be convicted and jailed for treason in Nigeria.
No one has held that fact against the entire Yoruba people.

Now, since you are Yoruba, and don't see anything wrong with Nigeria, and therefore have nothing to struggle for, I urge you to simply ZONE OUT, and desist from disparaging those of us who see plenty to fight against and agitate for.

I very well understand the psychology of little people like you.
Kanu will continue to stare you and your in the face as the giant of a man you can never rise up in 10 of your lifetimes.

Hate Igbo , despise them all you like. But we know it is only your own deep down personal insecurity that you are marketing online.

No, Nigeria first invaded Biafra first when it shelled and bombed the Biafran border town of Garkem in Ogoja on July 6th 1967. That is the day the war began

I tire oh! They called everyone one unit beggars, now they were released to go and the magnitude of their possible loss dawned on them and they started shifting and begging others to initiate a referendum. They should be at the door steps of their leaders now telling to initiate the referendum. They are busy abusing imaginary enemies. They are going to leave Nigeria.

A referendum was always what we wanted. If you want the Igbos to leave so badly then you should support our quest for a referendum. You can demand for us to leave once we stop being compatriots with you guys. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Initiate your quest and politely ask for a referendum. Eat which whose cake, IPOB get any cake to offer. Show seriousness by first moving. Nigeria will show seriousness too.

Dear my fellow Biafrans.
I support your struggle 100% but my problem is your approach.
I would want to suggest the following procedures and i can assure u its going to work out successfully. if you can unite and follow the following 10 steps then i can tell you, welcome to the Republic of Biafra in advance.

«««STEP 1»»»
withdraw all your services from Nigeria and render the Nigerians as you are the backbone of the country.

«««STEP 2»»»
Withdraw your kinsmen who are public office holders e.g Ike Ekweremadu, deputy senate president, Peter Obi the D.G of S.E.C

«««STEP 3»»»
Reject all the ministerial nomination from the so called Nigeria.

«««STEP 4»»»
Endeavour to reject Federal Allocation.
You are very industrious people you will be better off without it

«««STEP 5»»»
Stop all form of importation through the Nigerian sea port so that Nigeria will crumble without your Tax

«««STEP 6»»»
Recall all your sons and daughters from all parts of Nigeria to relocate to home untill this fight is over then Nigeria can beg them to come back as expatriate.

«««STEP 7»»»
Lock up all ur shops in idumota, Alaba international, Kano main market, and every other market even in the remote villages accross the country.

«««STEP 8»»»
Go beyond closing of the Niger bridge stop all Nigerians from buying or selling in Onitsha Main market or Ariaria market in Aba.

«««STEP 9»»»
Make sure u make ur Visa very hard for Nigerians.

«««STEP 10»»»
This fight can be achieved without Violence just like south Sudan. Finally, make sure you don't fight it with weapons.

Igbo kwenu!!! hee!

»»I am Cossy Diva Orjiakor««
and i just want To Make Common Sense.
