Actually they didn't. Now they've shot themselves on the leg cause Buhari is not going to give them any juicy appointment.

The north that have all the juicy appointments, how have their people faired?
Nobody cares who is president, people only want better lives, a government that can provide an enabling environment for everyone to thrive.

ebuk4real:


See how daft these people are. Who tell them Igbo's are really after "juicy appointments"?

See, adopt policies that carries everyone along and guarantee right to meaningful life and watch them carve a niche for themselves. Or give them just four years to stir the ship of this country and see what transformative inclusive governance means...


It's the mismanagement of the governance class that makes them agitate for a country of theirs that will make living worth it. Nigeria as it is will NEVER work until we tell ourselves the honest truth...

Aswear, God didn't try to create me in this country. How can an elder be thinking this way? If everyone should vote for Buhari, who then will become opposition? Nigeria in particular should be re colonialised to get sense.

In fact from the way these yeye politicians speak, it means there is no need for opposition.

Dividend of democracy has nothing to do with who u voted for. Voting is ur right, dividend of democracy is your right too. U work for the country and pay tax. The govt is not doing u a favour when they build road. The govt is using ur resources to build the road. Not his personal money.

Who is deceiving u that igbos are the most posperous group in Nigeria? only empty drum makes noise, Go to kani and see well educated rich Hausa you will comit suicide, go to lagos and see well educated rich yorubas that u wont even knw how blessed they are, only ibgos will have 10 million Naira and he wont let his community have peace because he has small change. they same way they drink bear in bear palor so their life style is. pple wiy checking change bragging. abeg give ur self small sence.

bros, think naaa... the region with the least poverty rate, is south East... it's not about few individuals controlling the money of the majority and end up being encircled by poverty stricken people... it's about the whole region being comfortable financially.... Nnewi currently has the highest number of millionaires in Nigeria... beat that. you just can't measure up, to Igbos...face it.... it's not about chest beating.. it's reality... when you people start thinking for the benefit of the majority instead of a few, that's when you'll start moving forward.

nope they didn't and will never have any regrets on that
an average igbo man does not depend on government for survival
they hustle on their own and make living from their hard works even in an unfriendly hostile situations
that's why they don't give a Flying furck when supporting the candidates of their choice
they do so and damn the consequences because they owe no one any freaking apology and favours.
that's how you behave when you're 100% independent.



my question is can any other tribe boast of such independence from government?

Thats Why I Love The Igbo People. Very Hard Working People. I Pray That God Should Bless Me With A Lovely Igbo Wife. Amen

The Igbos cannot leave their own Peter Obi and vote PMB and I am sure most Northerns go for PMB and not OBI. APC is short sighted and that man is childish for saying that the Igbos want juicy appointment

Nope we're just after a better government than Buhari's own

even if Atiku chooses Satan as running mate igbos will still vote for him massively without blinking
it's nothing personal
that's just how we hate incompetency
if you think that we voted for Atiku because of Obi
then you and Buhari's cow should be in IQ contest

kiss the truth

Stop the denial

One of the Igbos grouse against Buhari was that he gave less government appointment to the Igbos.

[/s]
shatap there and get out
you don't know anything

politics is not Igbos calling


they should stick with the bend down select clothes, spare parts, migration, farming and drugs pushing they're used to.


their national political failure and lack of political foresight from the past till date, affirmed my above assertion. I repeat they've no business in national politics. you can't just help it, to give what you don't have

amaniro:
Actually they didn't. Now they've shot themselves on the leg cause Buhari is not going to give them any juicy appointment.

We do what we do as a result of who we are!

We are Igbos, and proud of it. No apologies.

Igbos are not united!
Igbos are not united!

It was the same people who sell you the stereotype that Igbos are not united that came out, to fight the unity of Igbos at Okota/Ago, other parts of Lagos and Igbo land in general.

Seeing that their narrative is failing, they are now selling another narrative. They are saying Igbos are putting all their eggs in one basket.
How can the whole of the Igbos vote PDP?
Now we are being accused of not being divided enough to spare some votes for APC. Olee ihe emere ya adi uwa mma?

A little history will suffice. We are an egalitarian society. Indirect rule didn't work with Igbos. It worked well with the North and the South West but not with Igbos. Warrant Chiefs didn't help matters either. So really, Igbos are not political lots. Same reason voter aparthy is highest in Igbo land.

But when we take a political stand, we speak with one voice. That is who we are.
We have always done. We did it with Shagari, Obasanjo, Ya'radua and Jonathan. We are doing it against Buhari.

Make no mistake, we have always put our political eggs in one basket and that is who we are. That is why we don't entertain dynasties. The likes of Saraki and Tinubu and Mohammed won't last a decade in Igbo land.
We are decisive and courageous. If that is what you call arrogance, then so be it. But we will never stand on the fence.

I write this because of the young generation of Igbos in Nigeria. Go home to your fathers in the villages and ask questions. Learn how to be Igbo without being apologetic. The first thing people notice about an Igbo man is his enterprising spirit. It is not found anywhere else. Ihe agwo muru aghaghi ito ogologo.

We can't apologize for who we are. But what we do not have is the spirit of Nigerian politics. We don't play the politics of "Master say! Alhaji say! Everyone is a master in Igbo land. Onweghi onye na akpanye ibe ya nri.

The Igwe of my community has no more stake in the affairs of my community than I do. He is more of a representative of the people to the government and the custodian of our tradition than a "ruler" in the real sense of it. That is why we have the cabinet and elders in council.
Igbo amaghi eze.

It is not a bad thing in a sense that decisions are collectively taken, from the household, through the hamlets to the community. It does not make us lawless lots. The consultative mechanism is our strength. Igwe bu ike.

This is the singular reason why the Ohaneze Ndi Igbo has not been able to evolve into that rallying point for the Igbos like the Arewa People's Congress for Northerners, Oodua Peoples Congress and the Afenifere for Yorubas.

Let us all brace up for the times ahead.
Someone who will dislike you will not always need a reason to. Add the ingenuity and hardwork of the average Igbo man to the mix, and dislike quickly turns to hate.

And I understand it. I perfectly do. Its not easy to like someone who comes back to your land, after being sent packing just a few decades ago with just some two pounds and all his properties confiscated by his hosts.

He comes back and acquires them back hundred folds, marries your daughters and prospers with them. Then goes ahead to not only carve settlements in Ojodu and Ojo for themselves, but is about to become a determinant to your political future in a dispensation where you have been promised a second place.

What they may never know is that the ordinary Igbo man is not interested in your presidency. We thrive wherever we go. So when you say we are not strategizing enough for the presidency, we don't see it how you see it.

The average Igbo man simply wants a good environment for his business, and good infrastructure for a decent life. The things which "presidency" has not bestowed on any ethnic group in Nigeria.

The five Igbo states have since 2012 almost consistently occupied the best positions in WAEC and produced the highest number of medical and engineering students in Nigeria.

Check the Igbo business in Lagos, Kano, Maiduguri, Portharcourt. Most are not based on government patronage. We make things out of nothing. Presidency means nothing to an average Igbo man. The ten poorest and educationally backward states in Nigeria are within the regions that have held the presidency within the last two decades.

A good example is the very primary school where President Buhari cast his vote. It was the closest to his ancestral home. A "successful" Onitsha business man who has made money from his trade will know that the church and the school closest to his home is the very yardstick to measure his success. He needs not become president to refurbish them. Ana esi na ulo mara mma puo ama.

To the young generation of Igbos, I say to you today, Quit trying to impress anyone about how hospitable or detribalized you are!
Nnamdi Azikiwe did it and failed, Jonathan did everything imaginable, things he did not do for his native South South and yet failed. If you think you can please Nigeria, then you have another thing coming.

Look at Benue people, they received the greatest visit of deaths from this government. But they'd rather die some more than let an Igbo man smell the Vice Presidency. And tomorrow, they will also tell you Igbos don't know politics. And you will want to engage them in an argument.

Do not be disturbed when you hear them say we are not united. We have never been that kind of united people. Read our history. Even as Igbos were dying in their hundreds during the pogrom, Gen. Ojukwu, one of the first Igbo men who realized that this "forced marriage" can never work was only "permitted" to embark on the war against Nigeria by seeking the voice of every hamlet, every village and every community. He did not take unilateral decisions.

That's how decisions are taken in Igbo land. We do no alienate those who are in dissent. We do not allow one Tinubu to make decisions for some and another Saraki for others, so that our two eggs are comfortably placed in two baskets. No! We rise to the occasion wherever we are, Lagos, Kano, Kaduna, sokoto. Our spirits communicate with each other and not with any leader figure and decide what is best for us. Either you respect us for getting it, or you respect us for trying. This is who we are, and we are not changing it soon. We are Igbos. Deal with it.


I will repeat the last line.

WE ARE IGBOS. DEAL WITH IT.

Where's the beauty of democracy when everybody votes the same direction. Is only a coward tribe that will vote to please his master.

Being a good leader is about carrying everyone along even those that don't like you. It's about bringing peace and unity amongst all. Buhari lacks everything entirely.

majority of Schools in anambra state and Igbo lands are ran by the missionaries so you failed on that too

besides that's not depending on government afterall we pay huge amounts for education unlike those up there that let their children in the streets even when education is free and subsidised there.
even when they're in government throughout

Oga we are talking about Lagos,u're talking about anambra
U think bcua govt talk say education is free,u think say dem no dey use money maintain your children for school?
Multiply the teachers with their salaries every month
Running cost to maintain daily running of school
Una dey here dey complain wetin no make sense
As u guys dey pay tax,na so everybody sef dey pay tax
If u feel u guys are not comfortable living in Lagos,make una pack una load commot for Lagos
The downfall of the igbos is their hate for all the tribes except their own.you guys are not the only ones developing Lagos with your sweat.have u seen the hausas at mile 12 market pushing truck loads of goods and some carrying sack loads of tomatoes from dusk to Dawn?
The irony of it all is you guys don't spend your monies in Lagos,cus at the end of the year you all travel back to your states to spend the money

I can see why the south east is the way it is, sebi you no need govt assistance, yet all of you run to Lagos so you can make it in life, all the infrastructure you make use of in Lagos was built by ipob abi, am not surprised at your comment, you can never expect a baby to think like a man.

successmatters:


The real people who shot themselves on the foot are almajirins and the yoruba street urchins starving on most cities in squalid conditions, their poverty will multiply .

And what would an atiku presidency do for them? Mop them up from the streets and provide them with a paradise like living?

amaniro:

We don't need to consider any gaddamit thing! We are independent and we need someone who can move Nigeria forward not backward! We want someone who can live up to to the expectations of our nationalist leaders!

If no other tribe can stand against this military regime in the name of "democracy", Igbos will!

If everyone would support a particular candidate, it means, there is no democracy where people makes their choices. I didn't vote for Buhari and will never vote for him; I have no regret and I don't care. I am from Rivers state.

fordunit:



I lived in the east for about 9years and I can confirm that the average Igbo Man in self reliant and dependent. They do not wait for even the state government to do things for them. Someone will build a house and buy transformer and embark on electrification project for a while street without whining I applaud them for that.

However, I think they should get along more with other parts of the country. Perhaps that would open an influx of people of other tribes to the east to live, work and do business. For now, Eastern Nigeria majorly houses the Igbos and it's not a good thing.

oga the solution is a working functional federal country not a unitary state as we have....imagine if the ports in niger delta work as much as Wat u have in Lagos...moreso u can't force ppple to go dwell elsewer...something ll attract them...u have a considerable no of other tribes igbo land...like u said u lived for 9. yrs dee
