We need intervention of an external force to help secure and mandate the interest and rights of Igbos in Nigeria.

I really feel sad reading the way this man talks. He is expressing pain and despair.

In this period everyone is at disadvantage and weak and powerless. People must not be treated inhumanely because of political difference. Federal Goverment must carry Ibo along in all the support and assistance. They must not be sidelined.

How do you mean?

With all due respect, Buhari lacks the political sagacity needed to effectively run a heterogeneous, multi-cultural society like Nigeria. Probably, angered by the fact that Ohanaeze rebuffed his plea to meet with him during the 2014/2015, he angrily decided to teach the region a lesson. I suspect that both Garba Shehu and Femi Adesina, by their professional training, must have tried to get his permission to correct the grave mistake of 97%/5% formula and the import of the faux pas, on the psyche of a very over-sensitive people, he fought against during the war. A people that remembers vividly the role he played at Asaba and other war theatres. They also recall how he distributed the PTF intervention projects under Abacha. His media handlers managing his public image know that the unprovoked 95%/5% dichotomy will irreparably damage both his image and place in history. That no effort was made to clarify the statement and mitigate the damage done by the pronouncement, simply suggests that the man probably said he didn’t care. His image handlers could have easily played with words and said their principal couldn’t possibly say or mean to apply such divisive formula. But the whole world waited in vain. I suspect the man must have told them, “to hell with Nyamiri.” So those hurtful words stuck till this day. He unwittingly placed a wedge between Ndigbo and himself. And of course, PDP benefitted


Had he been smart enough to reach out to Ndigbo in his first term, he would have won them over. He also chose fear and coercion, as his style of governance, to the end that his close aides seem afraid to tell him any thing they perceive he may not want to hear.
His mistake were avoidable. He didn’t know Ndigbo do not worship man. He erroneously mistook the quite horrible and shameful boot licking culture of the Igbo contractor class, as the Igbo way of life, nobody told him that the genes of Ndigbo are completely different from those of the other ethnic nationalities that bow down and submit to eternal subjugation. He had to find out himself between 2015 and 2020, that Ndigbo worship no man. So within this period he erroneously assumed that Ndigbo would bow and worship, the PDP smartly latched onto Ndigbo in order to survive. That is the truth. Had Buhari wooed Ndigbo with appointments and projects and maybe set up a committee on restructuring Nigeria, in 2015, he would have swept Igboland and the PDP would have been blown into oblivion. Nobody could tell him, as all the people around him were scared of getting on the wrong side with him, by telling him what he obstinately didn’t want to hear. You see, because he comes from the cultural background where the rulers decide and the masses concur immediately, because they are too impoverished and helpless to argue, the completely egalitarian Igbo society is strange to him. He doesn’t understand egalitarianism, where the masses agree and the leadership simply concur with the wishes of the masses, if they hope to remain relevant.

Nobody explained to him that for over 1800 years Ndigbo were governed by the “ama-ala“, Greek model democracy. Where the town crier goes round the village with his gong sounding an invitation to the village square. Where all males above 18 years old are entitled to speak. The elderly and titled men sit in front, whereas every adult male, who doesn’t have a record of misbehaviour or history of mental illness, is actually entitled to raise his hand at the “ama-ala” meeting and air his opinion. Where every decision is put to the vote and consensus rules. All these hard facts were lost on him. He judged the mighty Igbo nation through his experience as Petroleum Minister, Military Governor and military Head of State, especially, the hustling ranka dede prostration of the Igbo political class and misjudged.

He thought Ndigbo flow with the behaviour of the political class, who constitute less than 1% of Igbo population. He wrongly assumed that 45 million Ndigbo would bow down and worship. He only succeeded in making them enemies for life and also strengthened the crumbling PDP. That’s the truth, I am on ground here. Ndigbo identified with PDP, because very credible leaders shaped it. Men like Alex Ekwueme and co. Courageous leaders who through the G34, stood up to Abacha. The PDP sidelined these great men and ran amock. I repeat the PDP is still relevant today simply because Buhari mishandled Ndigbo. Period.


is there any hope with the APC then

The PDP gave us bad dreams. The APC brought nightmares. More than half of the APC people jumped from the PDP. We are in trouble. They are all the same. The entire political class are a direct product of the military. The military ruled us with their civilian accomplices and collaborators, these guys simply metamorphosed into the Nigerian political class, whose dreams, desires and aspirations are totally different with that of the hapless masses. The citizens crave for jobs, infrastructure, security, a growing economy and justice. The politician is occupied with how to win the next election, acquire property overseas, live the good life and of course, continue to fool the people. None of them worries about the condition of the masses or the future of the country. They only pretend they care, when it’s convenient. If they truly cared, they will not delay the restructuring of Nigeria, a day longer. The country is crumbling and I bet you, they are all busy husbanding resources in preparation for the next elections. They are so self centered. They are like a band of predators terrorizing the land, and we are like grass eating gazelles at their mercy.

They are conquered people because they tried to conquer people so much greater than them. If not for Gowon, PMB, Obasanjo, Babangida and the other gallant officers of the Nigerian army, the greedy iboes would have turned south south region to a concentration camp Nazi style while they steal the oil of the people to repair their erosion ravaged deadland.

Justice35:
lolz Igbo's failed to conquer you then but you're still a conquered region any way, the only different now is that those that finally conquered you are not using your oil to develop an erosion ravaged region but they are using it to develop their desert region....conquer na conquer anyway.
