Anyone Telling Igbos To "Build Bridges" With Other Zones Should Remember This... by kingzizzy: 3:33pm On Aug 13, 2020
I have nothing against my fellow Igbo emerging president in 2023 but I do not believe it is possible, they hate us too much to trust us with power, they will never vote for us. What annoys me however is when I see other Nigerians telling Igbos to "build bridges" with other zones. Some foolish ones even go as far as saying that Biafra, IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu have burnt all the bridges for Igbos. Let me remind the foolish people who talk this way with two examples

1)In the 90's and early 2000's, Oodua Peoples Congres(OPC) was an armed group that wrecked havoc all over the Western Region, particularly Lagos. Many Igbos had to flee for their lives back to the East due to the violence OPC brought on Nigeria. I personally witnessed OPC kill people. Despite this, Nigerians elected a Yoruba man called Obasanjo in 1999 and re-elected him 2003.

2) Since at least 2014, armed Fulani herdsmen have been killing thousands of Nigerians each year, destroying farm lands, raping women. This did not prevent a Fulani man like Buhari being elected President in 2015 and re-elected in 2019.

So when OPC Yoruba youths and Fulani Herdsmen were killing people, you all forgot the bridge and elected people affiliated to their ethnic stock? But when it comes to 2023 and Igbos, you all will remember Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu and the bridge?



IPOB is an unarmed group that has not even done 1% of what OPC and killer herdsmen have done in the past, and has no proven record of having killed anyone.

So my fellow Igbos, when they ask you to "build bridges", please ask them which bridge was existing when OPC Yoruba youths and Fulani killer herdsmen were killing people, but it did not prevent a Yoruba or Fulani man from getting elected into office.

They only remember the "bridge" when it is Igbos!
