What exactly are the benefits of having a representative in the highest political offices? I have searched high and low and I can't find it. The Igbo's are probably the smartest of the large ethnic groups. They have focused on what truly matters - building and developing strong local communities through infrastructure, commerce and education. With all their years in power, the North has not accomplished half of what Igbo's have accomplished. This aboki Musa man needs to mind his own business and work towards getting the almajiri off the streets instead of pretending to sympathize with the plight of an ethnic group that's collectively doing better than his. See pot calling china plates black!

That is very true.

There's no question Igbos are still paying for the war, what's not so obvious on the short run is that Nigeria as a whole is also paying for the war, because anytime you hold somebody down, it takes useful energy that could have been used for other purposes to continue to hold that person down.

With or without the govt an Igbo man can survive anywhere, anytime. Igbo people are doing greatly with every little opportunity accord to them. The debt secured by the Husas for 40yrs takes an Igbo woman ( Okonjo Iwuala) 1yr for world bank to cancel it. What a Yoruba president (Obasenjo) could not do.

Musa should concentrate on how to improve the lives of dandoko, almajiri. He should think of how to set up healthcare in the remote areas in the north, his people are in need of water (borehole), no classroom, students sit under the tree to learn.

Leave the Igbo people alone and face the we the northerner, we really need greet help!!!

i think I know where this is going. why is he bringing this up now. The man is just trying to portray himself as a champion of the south east's political ambitions, playing along tribal lines to garner support. I'm just left wondering to what end as I can't see him becoming Nigeria's president.

as regards marginalization, i think we should have gone way beyond that. wether marginalized or not, pretty much every part of Nigeria is suffering from the rot at the center. let's take state governance, for instance. A major tribe cannot claim to be marginalized in its own states. Yet what have most state government done for the people of the state. opposition parties also get marginalized. How many ACN members recieved Federal appointments in the last dispensation? Yet the ACN governors have done pretty well with what they have. At the end of the day, it boils down to how you make use of what you have or get and not how much you get. Prime example: Bayelsa state.

I think that is the closest Ndigbo will get to the presidency (VP) with the North as the president come 2015.

No body should crucify  Musa for awakening the ibos.But what i foresee is the fulfillment of John Negroponti's prophecy come 2015. Nigeria will either give it to the ibos or face another somalia and Rhuwanda. Enough is enough. What we have in this country is sheep ruling lions and now the lion is awakened and the sheep should prepare to surrender or face been devoured.

I am happy Musa has made it publicly open into the ears of the ibos and soon we shall reply him come 2015,Thank you Mr.Musa I salute your courage no-matter how bitter the truth may be it is sweeter than falsehood.

You are so pathetic that you have lost your sense being a human to an Ape. LOl who told you that Igbos are flooding your God forsaking region called yoorobaland The population in Onitsha alone is larger than the population of all the sw states put together. Maybe you have not moved out of your rural states of osun, ogun and rest of other junk Yoruba states to the East to better understand that more population are in the East than what you have in the southwest. Igbos are in lagos for obvious reasons which will elude lagos sooner than later. Tell me the population of Igbos in ibadan, akure, eketi, oson, ogon Definitely zero. Igbos have no damn in such rural states of yours. As Nigerian-Jews, Igbos are most advanced in Nigeria than any other group, more especially the Yorubas who are trailing the hausa alumanjiris. You guys are the most cursed region in Nigeria. Yorubas are the cause of Nigerian woes. Yorubas are the criminal and ritualists and ogbonis and all the evil Nigeria has seen in the last 100yrs. yorubaland has largely remained under-developed due to the evil they are swimming in. Even after holding on to power for 8yrs the southwest has effectively remained the poorest region in Nigeria. Igboman is in Lagos because of the seaport, today there is seaport in Onitsha awaiting presidentials commissioning, this will have adverse effect on lagos economy

What's been going on is the use of the instruments of the state to surpress Igbos to the advantages of those who percieve themselves as winners of the civil war.

If you remove the federal clog and energy deviced to hold Igbos down, you'll notice a nearly even playing field. Individually, everybody knows the Igbos remain superior overall.
I’m afraid the condition you described will remain as long as your Igbo leaders continue to support these instruments of state and even head many of the organizations which you claim are used to surpress Igbos. None of the devices you claim are used to keep Igbos down would be effective without your fellow Igbos and so-called leaders making sure that the condition remains. These leaders don’t give a hoot about your plight as long as they are compensated handsomely and make enough money to keep several generations of their families wealthy.

The day SW and SE put aside their hatred for each other and cooperate for the greater good will be the day hope begins to rise in the SE. Gba be. So far, the North dey kampe.

The tenacity of the Ibo man to turn the truth on its head, dutifully hate the Yoruba for no reason, and to claim glory when none is due will always be his downfall.

You doubt me? Read your post over!

No need for war again but Biafra State must come to stay wether Nigeria likes it or not. Remember Sudan is setting the pace that Nigeria must follow.

It is highly uncharacteristic of Ndigbo to exibit fear simply because anyone can communicate in Igbo. Igbos are typically tough folks - I am beginning to suspect that you may be a fake Igbo.

Don't you have enough foes at it is? Why have you classified me as your foe when I consider you my lovely brother? Nwannem what are you really afraid of and why are you threatened by faceless internet monikers?
