Igbos Cannot Play Opposition Politics - Ngige by deji17: 4:20am On Sep 04, 2017
Igbos cannot play opposition politics. They will rather plot to bring down the house than play opposition politics..
For them to play opposition politics, they will call Nigeria a zoo and plot to destroy the country. Under Jonathan and past PDP Govt, Nigeria was eldorado..

Ken Nnamani urges Igbos to learn from the Yorubas

We should play politics of ideas, and avoid abusive words. Ndigbo do not have the ingredients for opposition politics. We do not have the media or business or money to play opposition politics. We are not anywhere because of our bad politics,” he added

We were in Opposition for long in the SW, Our Leader AWOLOWO was jailed, Abiola Election was annulled, he was killed, his wife was killed, his business was killed. Ajasin was put under house arrest, Abraham Adesanya was shot and the bullets went like raindrops, Bola Ige was murdered in Ibadan, our elections were rigged with provoking audacity, Tinubu was attacked politically and almost brought down but we fought without destroying Nigeria. We conquered without silly blackmail!!!!!!

There is a country called NIGERIA and DEMOCRACY has come to stay, if you can't play with common sense, you will just die of hypocritical ranting!

Igbos are good business people with good creative mind to excel anywhere and everywhere they go but politically, I think they are miles behind and should learn fast.

Aside the above, I think the agitation, though not too loud during Jonathan as it is now is good for our politics.

Even if Biafra is not achieved yet, they have been able to send messages be it right or wrong to the Federal Government on the need to always ensure a collective government is formed which every part of the nation will feel regardless of political affiliations, tribe and religion. One good thing about this agitation is successive government will now know the need to carry every part of the nation along to ensuring nation building.

The current administration has used too many divisive tools that made the Biafra agitators to shout unnecessarily. I believe for the simple reason that the Igbos didn't vote PMB, that alone, should have been the reason for a collective governance to prove to them he cares too.

That side, Igbos should also realize that there is also the need to form alliance. You don't get to be politically relevant without taking sides. No man is an island. You can do a 'solo' run in business and be successful but politics is a different game. In Politics, your perceived enemy today is your friend tomorrow and vice-versa. Nothing is permanent in politics but interests.

Igbos are not marginalised under the current administration. All the cries about marginalisation is blackmail.

Ngige never cease to say rubbish since he joined APC. Who would have thought he was a former PDP governor....
