Igbo People Why? -Ebuka Ikeoyibo by dotcomnamename: 11:56am On Aug 22, 2017
Written by: EBUKA IKEOYIBO:


One of the closest Igbo man to the President Elect is Dr Chris Ngige Onwa, a Senator who was defeated in the Senatorial Election.

See how bad Igbos are at strategizing? They couldn't override a pathological hatred for General Buhari to make a hedge bet and return this man to the Senate, to enhance his chances at Senate President, incase General Buhari wins, which he did. Instead folks played tribal and religious politics to the tilt as drunken sailors, and failed the man and the chance to make history as Senate President. That's what happens when emotions trips common sense and folks succumb to hustlers like Peter Obi and Arthur Eze, hustlers after their own interests instead of the masses they pretend to serve.

I urged caution, I pleaded that we were making a huge mistake to hitch our wagon on Jonathan who wasn't going to win. And predictably he lost, so also our chance in the new administration. I hate to gloat. But maybe, maybe, only maybe he gets a good ministerial appointment, but nothing beats being Senate President.

Igbos are very bad at politics. Fifty years after independence, we are yet to produce a president when others have taken multiple turns. Our answer? Blame others! If you only Hausas didn't do this or Yorubas didn't do that, perhaps the god of politics will bless our lot. And sadly it won't stop until we learn to coexist with others instead of our 'better than thou' attitude when dealing with the Hausas and Yorubas. We are not better than anyone, these folks we thumb our noses at, are God's creatures like us. We don't like the Hausas and we don't like the Yorubas, yet we populate their States in search for our livelihood. Our politics should mirror our economic aspirations, not the other way around.

There is no wisdom in living in the North, earning a living, yet despise the Northerners. That's being ungrateful. The gods of politics don't like that. How long can this collective amnesia insulate us from meaningfully seating at the table, making contributions to Nigeria's political evolution? How long can this foolishness go on? How long? There is a miserable silence across the land today, because we are realizing that we were sold off for pennies by pimps who parade as Igbo leaders. Where are they? Anyone home?

Bros God go bless you for this your write up, it baffles me when I hear young people throw insults at them self because of one person that has made his money and never cared for us. Hmmmmm for once I never heard Gej insult Buhari since he lost to him yet we carry the matter for head like say en send us, one fact is that they are rich we are poor we can't change it until we unite and forget about tribes or religion. kapish

Point 2

independence, we are yet to produce a
president when others have taken multiple
turns. Our answer? Blame others!

Point 3

that, perhaps the god of politics will bless our lot.

No, we have our politics. The politics of live and let others live, the oldest democracy in Africa, I stand to be corrected, Nigerians and the brits want to destroy us and did everything to make us hate ourselves, ie killing our people in the pogroms, starving our people to death in their millions, then try to bring divisions amongst us (especially the brits by suddenly creating tin gods, made up of thieves and low lives among us and backing them up with so much men and guns ), after the so called independence, we still had some credible leaders, like Mike Opara, Ojukwu, sam mbakwe and many others, but since 1999, which ruler in Igbo Land was nut imposed on us? Even Ojukwu contested ad a senator but was ingloriously rigged out, Alex Ekwueme was, also suffered the same, he should have been the president in 1999, not obasanjo, in fact the nigerians continued the usual imposition of leaders, that is why good men cannot win any election in Nigeria, well, this time no one is going to the polling booths.

My 45 million strong Igbo nation is way over due to be a separate independent sovereign nation

The Igbo nation should forget all these people whose only vision for Igbos if for us to remain in Nigeria eternally jostling with Hausas and Yorubas for one political position or the other.

Gambia is just 2 million people but is an independent nation

Benin Republic is 10 million people but is a sovereign nation

Sierral Leone is just 7 million people but is a sovereign nation.

Gambia, Benin and Sierra Leone are out there talking with the world, signing trade and bilateral agreements with different countries even though the population of all three countries is not even half of Igbos.

But the vision of some people is for the Igbos to be in Nigeria begging for restructuring, begging for resource control, begging for Nigerian presidency.


My dear Igbo nation, how can we think so low? Let us aspire to our own independent nation and make it great rather than perpetually remaining in Nigeria measuring D#ck with Hausa and Yorubas.
