Onlytruth, don't be dramatic about all this. No one is even implying that the Igbo cannot try to have one voice. It's just that we fail to see why a socio-cultural organization must dip its hands into politics. Now, if they had started an 'apex Igbo political organization' and chose to voice themselves through such an organization, then you can surely trust that we would not be having this discussion, right now. Otherwise, we would be discussing the question of "Why Jonathan?" rather than the question of "Why are they going out of their way to endorse, the first place?"

You seem to want to debate the question of "Why Jonathan?", failing to understand that those you intend on debating with, came to discuss something else. Makes the whole thing seem as if we aren't even on the same page, to begin with.

Just Saying.

Onlytruth:

This is why I try my best to educate Igbo people about the need for SPEAKING WITH ONE VOICE.

I'm not a "Solomon", but I started arguing with far older men over this same issue when I was only 14 years.

I remember arguing with one man who by my estimation would be around 50 years when I was 15 years old over the same issue. He kept trying to intimidate me into accepting that Igbo lack of one voice is a good thing. I stood my grounds and told him he was wrong.
There is NO WAY we can get our dues in Nigeria or even push for any agenda without speaking with one voice.

In my book, the most foolish Igbo man/woman is anyone telling me that our lack of one voice is a good thing. IT IS NOT.
In fact it is TERRIBLE.

That is why we are cheated on all counts in Nigeria.

The most foolish lion is one which dares to take on a pack of buffaloes alone. It will be trampled to death.

NDIIGBO, LEARN TO ACCEPT WHAT YOUR LEADERS TELL YOU. FOLLOW THEM. IT IS NOT FOOLISHNESS. IT IS WISDOM

Onlytruth:

I don't want to debate "why Jonathan?" I want to debate "why not speak with one voice?"

mikeansy:

There is a saying that what a young man sees standing and stretching, oldmen have already seen sitting down.

When a 15year old tries to lecture a 50year old man on socio-cultural issues then it is obvious where Onlytruth is going wrong, and the history of his thought process becomes clearer.

Igbos do not have have to speak with one voice on every issue, all we should ask for is to stand up for what is right at all times.

Ralph Uwechue can not go in the middle of the night concieve a plan, possibly collect money as motivation and come out in the morning to ask us to back up his view and then tell us we must speak with one voice. That is some madness that certainly will not fly in Igboland.

mikeansy:

^^^^^^

Appologies if I came accross as attacking you, that was certainly not my intention.

Just saying what you call wisdom may not necessarily be wisdom especially when it is a view you have held since you were 15.

However sorry if I came accross as abusive.

Bye.

The most difficult thing for a leader is to lead a TOTALLY REBELLIOUS people. If you could achieve 100 things with normal people, you cannot achieve 2 things with such rebellious people.

chyz, i think ohaneze should stop talking!!! today they support GJ, tomorrow they support IBB. the bible says, "even when a foolish man stops talking, he appears to be wise before a king". i think ohanze should remain a socia-cultural group because they are not playing smart here. they might even end up splitting ""igbo votes""

Andre Uweh:

Ohanaeze has made only one endorsement not two. I do not not know if you are blind or is it your comprehension that is failing you?.

Onlytruth:

Dude, you see why I don't think you are honest about your fabled "Igbo-Yoruba" alliance.
Did you even read the original post? And did you follow this discussion? Where did you see Ohanaeze support IBB?

Are you careless or just being provocative?

chyz:

They are supporting IBB now?!

jason12345:
