WHO IS AFRAID OF IGBO?

In October 1960 a Nation was finally born and became an independent Nation in Africa. Nigeria was officially handed over to Nigerian by its British colonial master. The hope was high and the aspiration was great as the founding father of the new great nation was full of hope of a great future for Nigeria but this dream never came to be. It was beclouded with acrimony, selfishness, sentiments, complexity and tribal egotism. Unnecessary rivalry between once united tribes who united to fight their common enemy(colonial master), started by waging cold war which eventually led to the first military coup in 1966 that permanently created division and lack of trust between all the tribes that made up Nigeria. In 1967 a counter coup was launched by the aggrieved sections of the country who believed that the coup of 1966 was sectional and aimed at killing their political leaders. The mutual trust was lost, revenge was in the mind of every aggrieved tribes against one another. Hausa hate Igbo, Igbo hate Hausa, Yoruba hate Hausa vice versa. The mistrust grew and hatred spread and the cat and rat race started.

Unfortunately, we went into an unavoidable and unnecessary secession war of ego, millions of Nigerians were killed from both sides, things fell apart and the center never hold again. After the 3 years of bloodshed the crocodile peace was reached but the wound is yet to heal, mistrust is still there after 52 years. Though, we live together but the mutual suspicion is in the heart of every tribes against one another.
The young Igbos who were not born during the war but read or heard the history of civil war rekindled the call for secession because of the persevered injustice and the neglect of igbo from political scheme. Since independent the dream of Igbo to rule Nigeria after the failure of poorly packaged and executed 1966 coup and the counter coup that removed (killed) the last Igbo military head of state Gen. Aguiyi Ironsi was a mirage. Then Igbo resulted to if we cannot rule Nigeria we should be allowed to rule ourselves. The new call for secession in the recent time is another reaction due to lack of trust between Nigeria tribes, the Igbo youths are becoming aggressive against all other tribes and becoming isolated. Is like nobody want to trust Igbo nor wanted to gamble with power game with them, other tribes believe Igbo cannot be trusted with a country they once went into war with. The fear of Igbo as become beginning of wisdom for entire Nigeria tribes. Who is afraid of Igbo?. And why should we be afraid of Igbo. If Igbo are our neighbors our friends, our co-tenants, our classmate, our school mates, our co -workers, our business partners, wives and husbands then why should we be afraid of Igbo.
We can relate peacefully, forget the past, apologize for the wrong of the past injustice, stop bad mouthing each other, create mutual respect and stop secession agitating. We cannot avoid another civil war and error of the past. We can hug each other trust each other and Igbo can one day lead the country without fear of mistrust.

By Oladimeji M Idowu

Nobody is afraid of Igbos. They are free to contest and campaign for the highest office in the land.

What kinda thread is this?

Hausa fulani and yorubas are the ones afraid of igbos........


they have consistently and wickedly even viciously ensured that Igbos race are wiped out from the surface of the earth.......


Since 1945 uptill today.......approx over 6millions igbo lives have been lost.....and still counting....


The terrorist in aso rock with his allies has made it a point of duty to continue the killing for no just cause.......

We trusted them but they betrayed that trust....even uptill today.

Read very well ,and get the message well

The hatred, tension, tribal sentients and bigotry that has shrunk the nation today was started by the igbos through the first coup and through avoidable war that was started by the Biafran soldiers.
But I believe if everyone can forget the past and look into the future, heal the wounds and forget our differences, Nigeria will be a stronger and better nation and be the pride of Africa and a true giant. Our diversity is indeed our strength......

Did you even read it at all?

They have hope in the politics of Nigeria if they are ready to let go of their hatred, nepotism and hypocrisy at the detriment of other tribes...
Nigeria is ours, we belongs to this country and we ought to be one irrespective of tribe, religion, sex and territory.
Igbo should respect other tribes and stop causing problems to the country...
God bless Nigeria

Nice thread! Nigeria is one! Nigeria belongs to us all! Enough of the tribal trolls here and there. The Igbos are a respectable tribe and will continue to be..Unity is importanat to reach our destination.

Are they beast or demons that they should be feared?

LochOtieno:

All the IGBOs in the land have right to contest for any post in the country but they have to stop their hatred for the other tribes in the country and think very well on how their own region is going to develop as well.hatred and bigot ism can not do any help to them.they should stop their bad attitudes,egoism and embrace unison in the interest of this great country of ours.God bless Nigeria

Nothing to forget.....people that died are not chickens......they are human beings for christ sake...........

Give me the president of Nigeria and I will split this country within 72 hours....

Yorubas and Hausa-Fulani are the ones afraid of Igbos.The more they team up together to isolate the Igbos the more Nigeria become a stagnant country with new militia springing up like Boko haram. They poison the mind of middle belt and other tribes in Niger Delta against the Igbos.

Today middle belt are been wiped out from the surface of the earth because Yoruba don't care if the Fulani wipe them out as far as they are picking their crumbs from their masters table.

Igbos are concerned but cannot act because the middle belt also hate Igbos.

YOU HAVEN'T ANSWERED MY QUESTION

spartanman007:

u can answer that.

In the dictionary of Nigeria ,,I believe Yoruba ,Hausa and Igbo are one,,,,I wonder why a tribe should because of ego want to isolate or separate themselves from others ...If Igbo in any way has been cheated ,i believe we can still come to table together in order to right the wrong...We are one Nigeria..No segregation .....God bless Nigeria....

Nobody is afraid of the Igbos,they are the one creating hatred for the other tribes,if all the tribes can come together as one family to tackle all the challenges we are facing in this country, Nigeria shall be great again....the work cannot be done by the govt alone but with the help of everybody generally ........we can achieve so many great things if we erase our sentiment and tribalism ideology.One love,one Nigeria

That is a lie and you know it! If the hausas want to wipe yorubas out, they are free to bring it on. But i dont think the hausas have such intentions.

It is the igbos that see this BIG HAUSA giant everywhere. The yorubas are just living their normal lives and we cant just hate Hausas because the igbos want us to. Life doesnt work that way.

Igbo have the constitutional right to contest any office as far as Nigeria is concern. No one can deny them that. The writer of this piece is well acquainted with the historical genesis of what transpire to lack of trust, ethnic jingoism and religion bigotry the Nigeria geographical location. Igbo people are hardworking people with steadfastness and capability to achieve. Their greatness cannot be doubt by anymore, but with due respect to them, i think Yoruba and Hausa deserve unquantified respect as well. If Igbo want to produce president, they would have to imbibe the spirit of inclusiveness and sportsmanship encapsulated in love, trust and unity.

This is one of the problems we are having...you
can criticise the govt or the president without using some foul language by calling him "terrorist" which I know if the president happens to be from your tribe you won't can him such a bad name........we the youths can make the difference by changing our level of reasoning and the way we engage ourself especially on social media

ITS NOW CRYSTAL CLEAR THAT YOU ARE HELPLESS JUST LIKE THE MINORITY CHRISTIANS IN IRAQ, EGYPT, SYRIA AND WESTERN NIGERIA WHEN ARE YOU LEAVING THE COUNTRY CUZ E BE LIKE SAY WATER DON PASS GARRI.

Yorubas are most afraid of Igbos..by far.

Not when the two tribe continue trapping upon the Igbos, for almost 52 years now they have continue stampeding on Igbos.

GEJ did not do well in the office because of Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani just because GEJ put some few Igbos in key positions.

GEJ renamed UNILAG with Abiola name all hail was losed but Imagine if Buhari renamed the same university with Abiola name, they will gather and celebrate it and give thanks to Buhari.

The Igbos should stop carrying the mindset that some set of people does not want them in power. They should shun nepotism and all their effort of dividing the nation, and being independent on their own should be aborted. A nation divided against itself cannot stand.
