“An Igbo man should not be allowed to be president of Nigeria. I have a feeling that Biafra will be established if that happens. They will leave us oo and Nigeria will crumble if they leave oo. Igbos have been planning Biafra since. Let us not let Igbo in for now. We are in this Nigeria together, you will not run anywhere. We die here!” —Tunde Ednut.

At the peak of June 12 electioneering, as a then teenager, my friends and I used juice from cashew nuts to inscribe boldly “M.K.O” on our arms. I still remember vividly the exact spot I tattooed mine – on my left arm. We learned lyrics of most of Abiola’s campaign songs, and sang them religiously in unalloyed solidarity with M.K.O campaign

In the streets of Enugu – the heart of old Eastern Region – that was the trend amongst teenagers and adults who believed and championed M.K.O Abiola mandate. It was an unparalleled and irrepressible political movement amongst Igbo youths. Most of us knew Abiola’s ethno-religious affiliation, yet rose beyond tribal cum religious barriers to support a man we believed in.

Let us diagnose Tunde Ednut’s vile propaganda against the campaign for Nigerian president of South East extraction come 2023.

I read with uttermost chagrin, Tunde Ednut’s misleading post, masqueraded as a joke regarding Ndigbo’s quest to produce Nigerian president, come 2023.

That a popular blogger like Ednut, with huge chunk of his followers on social media being of Igbo tribe, could profile Ndigbo with Biafra agitation, beats my imagination – it bespoke lack of emotional intelligence.

When I juxtaposed M.K.O campaign frenzy in the East, with irrational comment of Tunde Ednut that an Igbo man should not be allowed to be president of Nigeria, it shook me to the marrows how tribalism and oppression have eaten deep in the nerves of some of our youths today. Ednut used the facade of a joke to spew his bile propaganda, but we got the message.

His clear intention was to paint Igbo presidency project with the brush of Biafra agitation, but his innuendoes have been punctured and his prejudices unmasked.

When Abiola’s mandate was truncated by the military junta, the Igbo rose in unison against it. Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) ran amok in the streets of Lagos and other South-Western states, in violent protests against the abortion of what would have been the most popular mandate given to anyone in the political history of Nigeria.

Some properties of Ndigbo were destroyed in Lagos in the process.

At the heat of June 12 struggle, even with the threats by OPC to declare Oduduwa Republic, Ndigbo saw their agitation as a call for justice and fairness.

Most Nigerians saw reasons power should be ceded to South West, which made the military to yield to pressure. In 1999, the two main parties zoned their tickets to South West. Obasanjo emerged as PDP candidate.

Ndigbo supported him en mass during the general election, likewise other tribes. He became president, and the rest is history.

The entire Yoruba race was not stereotyped based on the activities of OPC. We did not insinuate that a Yoruba man would declare Oduduwa Republic if allowed to be president of Nigeria.

The combination of agitations of OPC and NADECO made their voices louder. The question now is: why are people like Tunde Ednut trying hard to inject fear into the hearts of other Nigerians, concerning Igbo man becoming president?

If Obasanjo did not declare Oduduwa Republic because of OPC, Musa Yar’Adua did not carve out Arewa Republic for the north because of Bokoharam bestial actions; Jonathan did not declare Niger Delta Republic because of militants, why is Tunde Ednut insinuating that Igbo man as president will declare Biafra Republic because of IPOB? Was Ojukwu head of state (or president) when he declared Biafra?

The fact that Biafra agitation is still alive over fifty years after the civil war, despite Ndigbo being major stakeholders in a geographical area called Nigeria, despite Ndigbo owning billions of dollars worth of investments across the nation, and despite some Ndigbo helping to develop infrastructure in their host communities from the personal purses, should tell the likes of Tunde Ednut that the root cause of Biafra agitation is injustice, oppression and marginalisation.

It is therefore very unfortunate that a youth like him, that should be at the forefront, advocating for justice and fairness for every Nigerian could be a harbinger of ethnic oppression and purveyor of tribal suppression, no matter how jokingly put.

Stopping Ndigbo from occupying Aso Rock Villa – out of fear of Biafra agitation—like Tunde Ednut advocated, is tantamount to stopping your best striker from playing in a crucial football game you have a huge stake in. Igbo proverb says: “He who is holding someone down is also down. Until you let him up, you will not rise as well”.

Also, southern solidarity will remain a mirage if tribal supremacy and “born to rule” ideology continue to be propagated. We should rise above such anti-progress sentiments.

Meanwhile, I would have asked “who bankrolled Tunde’s anti-Igbo propaganda”, if I didn’t know that some people are working assiduously to truncate this golden opportunity that Nigeria has now, to produce president of Igbo extraction.

Tunde Ednut opinion doesn't count, because most of his posts are sponsor by different individuals. In all fairness APC and PDP should zone their presidential ticket to South East, since all 6 zone are children of Nigeria.
But the constant insults and agitation by Ipob is what most people are afraid of, you can't keep insulting those that will fight and vote for you to produce the next president.

He shouldnt be taken serious,you are just making him more popular.
Before you know it,politicians will start paying him millions for capaign of columny.

Who takes the clown Tunde ednut serious

Tunde Ednut is a child and reason like one...




Having Buhari, core northerner and a believer of Sharia as the president would've been a clear opportunity for Buhari to establish Sharia or islamize the country but he can't....


Things don't work like that.... No Igbo president can declare Biafra just like that.... He'll be death before he'd be done with the pronunciation of that word Biafra....



Biafra will be achieved through it's right means....

What is tundednut? An animal, place or thing?

How is a rebranded Chinese cars maker different from PAN in Kaduna, JAC in Lagos ? E.t.c

If not for the federal government who are the sole user(Government agencies are the sole buyers of IVM), an average Nigeria hasn't heard of the brand Innoson.

Now if a rebranded Chinese car , which is manufactured in Nnewi by an indigenous business man employing thousands of Ngerians and contributing positively to the economy , via taxes , job creation and employment generation is a huge joke and the same cars are being ordered by west african countries what would you make of an unemployed Ednut who uses social media to bring down other people , contributes nothing to the local economy in terms of taxes and has no economic relevance to both his country of origin and his country of residence

Keep quiet man

Innoson isn't the first car assembly plant in Nigeria.

There is PAN in Kaduna
JAC in Lagos
Nord in Lagos
Proforce in Ogun
And according to sir Nap.tu there are few ones in North.
Because he was able to blackmail the government into buying his mediocre Chinese rebranded cars doesn't make him the best.

I doubt if Innoson is in top 100 most valuable brands in Nigeria.

The last time I checked, Dangote (who is the biggest business man in Nigeria), Adenuga, Abdul Samad who plays the biggest role in Nigeria economy and job creation are not Igbo and you don't see their kinsmen make noise like you do.

how people who mostly engage in petty trading, pays little or no tax since government does not have records of their business e.t.c thinks they control Nigeria beats me sometimes...

little wonder they were chased away under Ilorin flyover, what they do is cause traffic jam....

their region had the second lowest igr due to the nature of their economic activities, say nah okrika seller, Spare parts, prostitutes go pay reasonable tax? but to them they control the economy..what nonsense..

tell me apart from seplat (which is on and off in stock exchange) which other igbo owned business makes the top 10 players in Nigeria stock exchange.. don't tell me U.B.A and Zenith bank oo

Lol. You guys and delusion.

So Adenuga Glo business is into loss? The second richest man in Africa.

Dangote and Rabiu are into business because of government patronage but Innoson that government buy almost 99% of his cars is not into business because of government patronage?

Dangote major market are the Nigerians consumers and government patronage is very low compared to that. There are several cement companies in Nigeria so stop shouting monopoly disguised under favorable government policies.

If anyone enjoy favorable policies of government, it is Innoson. He import car part units from China at 0% import duties due to the law in place and assemble them in his factory and sell it back to the government at full price.

When Abiola’s mandate was truncated by the military junta, the Igbo rose in unison against it. Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) ran amok in the streets of Lagos and other South-Western states, in violent protests against the abortion of what would have been the most popular mandate given to anyone in the political history of Nigeria.

Some properties of Ndigbo were destroyed in Lagos in the process.

At the heat of June 12 struggle, even with the threats by OPC to declare Oduduwa Republic, Ndigbo saw their agitation as a call for justice and fairness.

Adenuga's business are loss making , Dangote and Abdul Samad are in business today because of favorable government policies and patronage, igbos are in business today out of hard work , ingenuity , smart business policies and competitive egde

Car assembly plant you mean not manufacturing plant, Innoson assembles BAIC motors products,a Chinese state owned Enterprise.

Dangote today is not only the richest person in Africa but the biggest business man in the Continent..
Dangote Sugar
Dangote Cement
Dangote Salt
Petit Tomato Paste
Dangote Sacks
Danvita
Dangote Macaroni
Mowa Water
Dangote Flour
Dangote Spaghetti
Ziza Milk
Dansa Juice
Dangote Noodles
In addition, Dangote is building the biggest fertilizer plant in Africa, one of the biggest refinery in the world, I also learnt Dangote is building a sea port right beside his refinery..
Dangote group alone is bigger than all Igbo business combined (I may be wrong).

Not to talk of BUA groups (let's not even go there) recently he signed a deal to build his own rifinery... All these a Hausa/fulani business and you won't see them making noise.

There is nothing an igboman can do today that a Yoruba hasn't done before ( or at least didn't have)

Talking about car assembly plant, we have Jac in Lagos, Nord also in Lagos, Proforce armoured cars in Ogun.

Building materials, tell me an igbo company that is bigger than KAM wire.
There is WAPCO in Ogun (though I don't know if it's indigenous).

Talking foods, Rite foods is a force to be reckoned in Nigeria, it's products is what your kinsmen hawk on the street, from sausage roll to drinks and beverage, Bigi drinks is actually the biggest company in Nigeria market today, there is no where you won't see Bigi apple, bigi Chapman e.t.c the company his bigger than Coca-Cola in NIGERIA market ATM.

There is nothing you won't see in Ogun state at the moment, same with Kano and Kaduna.

Leathers are being exported in Kano ATM, the north is the food basket of the nation, kebbi state is the home of rice.

In real estate, go to AMEN estate, in Lagos, the finest estate in Nigeria, doesn't even look like Nigeria. Owned by a Yoruba man.

According to premium times and winners, Canaan land in Ota is the second biggest single hosing estate in the world, contrary to the uncompleted millennium Park in Akwa, (LMAO).

The highest grossing films in Nollywood today were produced by Yorubas with majority of the casts being Yoruba too.

Adenuga is running at a loss, but his wealth kept growing every year, today man is the third richest man in Africa, 3 years ago Adunuga's wealth isn't even up to 4billion dollars, today Adenuga is worth over 7billion dollars... But to you his company his running at the loss.
Everyone cannot be like Ifeanyi Uba, I learnt if you sell everything he owns including his clothes, it can't pay the debt he's owning AMCON.. LMAO.

I repeat, you guys are nothing in Nigeria, just name it, Yorubas beat you noise markers in all aspects, talking about Education, SW is the centre for Education, even the north looks attractive than your jungle education wise.

Too much noise....

Who is buying the aircraft parts, you import car parts you mean? LMAO,
