The rest of the world know all about the typical ibo shallow, empty, vacuous and meaningless chest beating.

Your ignorant and meaningless chest beating means nothing because I'm not a foreigner, I'm a Nigeria and I know you and I know all about your rotten and backward towns villages.

It beats me why you people think you are smart and better than the people you run to their region for your survival and daily bread

BaaleOko:

Millions of Igbos are in the diaspora doing very well, not the drug mules you idiots always project on the media and are an insignificant minority that taint our collective image...but the brilliant Igbo men and women that impact the societies they live in positively. Igbo kids top almost all the Nigerian ethnic demographics for high acceptance rate into Ivy league schools all over the US(more than any ethnic group), thus assuming the model minorities status with Asian Americans trailing behind, there are thousands of internationally recognized Igbo diplomats in the dispora been elected into key positions of government and agencies, accomplished Igbos in Nigeria who excel anywhere they go, stating from literally little or nothing to building empires, go to Aba and see Igbo ingenuity and entrepreneurship despite been hampered by poor government factors, the average man on Aba is FAR MORE PRODUCTIVE THAN ANY YORUBA... I haven't even mentioned Nnewi where industrialization has taken its finest form, yet without government assistance.

My point is an Igbo man when put together with an average yoruba will always come out the better man if merit was anything to reckon with, that's why we dominate you scums on your own turf, majority of your inland revenues are in the hands of Igbos, commerce on every macro to micro level has been saturated by Igbos, every damn thing we have taken over... So keep hitting your useless cone head on the wall as the Igbo man keeps making you reel in pain, Las Las na lagoon you go end up.

NkayStory:


We can never never be one..Dis-integration is the only way out going forward..Too many Nigerians hate the country with a passion as well tribes that are not theirs

No matter how hard you yorubas fight it,it will definetly happen..

..cant you see Nigeria is getting worse by the day with ethnic hatred increasing at break neckk speed with no end in sight?...or you want to deny that??

You can re-write history to suit your acute myopia but it changes nothing..lie againt Nnamdi Azokiwe or Ojukwu as much as you like it changes nothing!!..

Someday soon,you all shall meet your fate with destiny because this country is jinxed.

Fact Check!
Zik was from Onitsha in Anambra state, Jaja nwachukwu was Speaker house of reps while Nwafor orizu from anambra state was Senate president.

cute9ja:
Yes, we have had bad leadership for over 50 years agreed, and all tribes have failed us to be honest
But what this writer has done is, trace the origin and genesis of this bad leadership, and we can't even deny that there are some shocking facts up there.

5thElement:


What's laughable is you guys from the east always playing the victim card when Nigeria could have been either practicing true federalism or have broken up into its constituent parts.

You screaming "Biafra or death" today is the perfect example of Karma. Ask Isaac Adaka Boro.

You got served.

ipodstinks:
Zik from Onitsha ke

hausadreturn:
Yes, Onitsha

ipodstinks:
Oga, wetin you drink? Zik is from Enugu

hausadreturn:
Like the OP said, don't present your case like a kid.

Zik is from Onitsha, in Anambra State.

ipodstinks:
Zik only lived with his grandmother living in onitsha, he was born in the north. His father is from Enugu

hausadreturn:
I still don't get the meaning of you got served.
Got served how?

Is there any part of Nigeria that is enjoying better than others?

You mean those 2 by 2 shops that offers nothing than nuisance in the SW region?

FortuneDeGreat:
To start with, the heading says it all.

A crap concocted to malign Igbo leadership from ancient times.

A narrative riddled with malicious calumniation of Igbo race.

A piece meant to demonize the Igbos and put them in a position of blame for all the ills that have befallen Nigeria.

Against all storm, all hatred and all castigation we march on triumphantly, untamed and unstoppable en route to greatness.

Enemies please do the needful. Embrace an electric transformer or jump right into a lagoon. I care more for a dead ant �

cute9ja:
The content the writer put up about Ojukwu and Azikuwe are not lies, they are historical facts, you can do a research yourself to prove otherwise!
We will be 60 years next year, we have tolerated ourselves for this long, can we do another 60 with a united Nigeria?

BaaleOko:

I understand your pain, when you're done crying... Locate the closest rope close to you, form a noose with it enough to fit on your cone head and circumference of your scrawny poverty stricken neck, recite the Quoran to appease your pedophile prophet for all the frustrations and hate in your accursed life... And then do the needful while a benevolent Igbo man somewhere will pay for your funeral rites and feed your pathetic family.

This is simple sturvs. Pick a paragraph that you think is a lie and show us the lie and present the truth.

FortuneDeGreat:
When he listed the top military officers of the Nigerian army, he said that the Igbo held the most positions and had the highest number, he went ahead to present their name(officers from the defunct eastern region), he listed names from other ethnic groups in the region, joined them all up as Igbos, then when he talked about the eight "majors" that conducted the January 15th 1966 coup, he said all were Igbo forgetting that only 2 out of the 8 were from the eastern region, 4 were from the Midwest and 1 from the western region. How can you reconcile this sheer unfounded antagonism, I'll be coming up with others but let's digest this one first. Please is "sturvs" an English word? If it is , what's the meaning.

5thElement:


So I see we are back to the quibbling about whether there are Igbo in the south south, because this is what it all boils down to. They are Igbos when it suits your narrative, right?

Well, let's look at the names of the officers who plotted the coup and I'll leave the readers to decide whether they were Igbos or not:

1. Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogu

2. Timothy Onwuatuegwu

3. Emmanuel Ifeajuna

4. Chris Anuforo

5. Humphrey Chukwuka

6. Don Oka for

7. Adewale Ademoyega.

The names listed from 1-6 are Igbo names, aren't they?

There are Yorubas in Kogi and Benin Republic. Does that stop them from being Yorubas?

Now, let's examine this.

Notable Nigerian leaders murdered by the coup plotters in 1966 include:

1. Sir Ahmadu Bello (Premier of the Northern Region)

2. Chief Samuel Ladoke Akintola (Premier of the Western Region)

3. Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa (First Nigerian Prime Minister) oh, BTW his body was found on a roadside in Lagos some days later. A whole prime minister.

4. Chief Festus Okotie-Eboh (Nigeria's Finance Minister at the time)

5. Brig-Gen Samuel Ademulegun and his very pregnant wife.

6. Brig-Gen Zakariya Maimalari

7. Col. Kur Mohammed.

8. Col. Shodeinde

9. Lt.Col Abogo Largema

How many of those listed above who were victims were Igbo? NONE!

Michael Iheonukara Okpara, premier of the Eastern region (predominantly Igbo region) was spared.

Nnamdi Azikiwe, the President of Nigeria at the time and an Igbo was conveniently in Bahamas during the coup, haven been tipped off by the coup plotters.

Those are the facts bro.

FortuneDeGreat:
You inadvertently implicate yourself, one time you guys would bluntly argue the presence of igbos in SS but will easily assimilate them into the Igbo folk when poised to demonize the Igbos at large. What a pathetic skelm of a group are you guys?


It's only a low-life tribal bigot and I'll informed fellows who will take you guys serious.

ezenwajosh:
All I understood here is that IGBOS held power from 1959-1966 how many years is that 7years by thus time the white men choose IGBOS reason is because we are fast in learning and following orders... You heard where he mention of WHERE NORTH RESISTED TO ALLOW IGBO HEAD THEEIR UNIVERSITY RATHER CHOOSED A FOREIGNER UNTIL THEY WERE ABLE TO PRODUCE A PROFESSOR.

SO IGBOS WERE HANDLING THE AFFAIRS OF NIGERIA FROM 1959-1966 WHICH IS 7YEARS NOW CALCULATE FROM 1966-2019 and check the affairs of the country and the zoning of offices and tell me if you're Igbo will you be HAPPY?..


WHAT THE SOUTHERN LEADERS REFUSED TO TELL THEIR PEOPLE IS THAT NIGERIA DOESN'T WELCOME THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH INTO NIGERIA ANYMORE...

THE IRONY IS EVERY SOUTHERN NIGERIA POLITICAL LEADER OR OFFICE HOLDER WILL ALWAYS TELL YOU NIGERIA IS OUR COUNTRY because he don't want to loose his source of income no matter the condition at which he gets it... Its his source of livelihood he won't speak the truth. SO FOR YOU ALL STILL WAITING FOR YOUR TRADITIONAL RULERS, GOVERNORS, SENATORS, LGA CHAIRMAN AND YOUR MINISTERS TO COME OUT AND SUPPORT SOUTHERN EXIT FROM NIGERIA they will never do it.

Take a case of the royal family in rivers state the military invaded his home and ransacked every part of his house... SAME THING CAN NOT HAPPEN IN NORTH.

THE MILITARY CAN NOT EVEN GET A WARRANT TO SEARCH EMIRE PALACE.... WHO EVER THOUGHT OF IT WILL BE DISCHARGED AND KILLED BY THE MILITARY.

But tomorrow the same king will be defending the unity of Nigeria because he's still getting something from them. YOU ARE MORE NIGERIAN THAN THEM YET THEY DON'T WANT YOU.

THE EARLIER WE ALL SOUTHERNS JOIN HAND FOR OUR EXIT THE BETTER FOR OUR CHILDRENS FUTURE....FORGET THE SOUTHERN POLITICIANS THEY WON'T MAKE A MOVE UNTIL THEY SEE WE ARE NOT BUYING THEIR EVERYTHING IS FINE BODY LANGUAGE

@ the bolded, we know you guys worship the white skin and you think Caucasians or anyone with light skin a god or special. Nothing more patethic than this.

The white man did not choose Azikiwe to be President. The North had majority in the house while the south could have formed a majority only if they combined.

Awolowo was ready to give Azikiwe the post of Prime minister if they aligned their regions to get the majority and beat the north. But guess who betrayed the south and settled for ceremonial presidency status? Azikiwe.

You guys need to read more o.

5thElement:


I see we are slipping gradually into insults and curses because you can't counter my arguments.

Very typical.

If I asked you as an Igbo person to translate the names of the Igbo officers that you claim are from South-south, would you be able to? My guess is, you would, given the facts that they were your tribesmen.

You hate the truth. You have a long way to go. Spiritual progress is denied you until you embrace the truth no matter how uncomfortable.

If you have nothing else to offer this convo except insults, then keep them in your pocket and move right along, bro.
