Beyond all the politics, I am worried about the future of Nigeria. A lot of dangerous politicians in strategic places. El rufai have started a dangerous experiment by converting Friday to a work free day in kaduna, to counter balance with Sunday for Christians. Very soon, it will spread across the rest of the north sparking a second wave of Sharia fervour in the Constitution. El rufai is more terrifying to me as a Patriot than anything ipob will ever do. Unlike buhari, El rufai is actually intelligent and know how to inflict maximum harm with policy. 3 Likes |

FactBoyz: If you really want to know why nobody will allow them to go their separate way then read this and know how they set a trap that consume them; Do you know that when Tafawa Balewa was Prime Minister of Nigeria; Chief of Army Staff was from SE Chief of Naval Staff was from SE IG of Police was from SE Chief of Defence Staff was from SE Internal Affairs Minister SE External Affairs Minister SE Education Minister South SE Many other key ministries to SE Parliament President SE Unilag VC from SE The University of Ibadan VC from SE North resisted same at ABU! Still, there was dissatisfaction by SE, the officers from the region killed this same Balewa!!!! Out of all the most senior officers in Nigeria, SE has 37, none was killed. 8 from the north, all of them were killed. 10 from the west, 2 were killed. Then Ironsi imposed a unitary system of government on the country so that everything can belong to a region who snatched it! We must know our history so that when we want to make corrections, we will not end up concealing the truth. This has nothing to do with tribalism but everything to do with the truth.....at times when lies litter the streets. There is a tendency to think those are truths and facts. *What follows are facts that can be cross-checked for authenticity!"* Prof. Ben Nwabueze was the man who drafted the constitution that took away powers from regions and handed it to the central government because his brother Aguiyi Ironsi was the head of state then but some ignorant or selfish people limit their accusations to only Abdussalam Abubakar constitution that give birth to current democratic govt. Today, they're shouting restructuring that they helped to destroy. We won’t forget.”*. The Igbo man is known to enjoy blaming the Hausa fulanis, Yorubas and indeed every other Nigerian tribe and Lord Luggard/Britain for their seeming claim of being in third class citizen status in Nigeria or refuse to let thm go. In their perpetual attempts to play the victim card, they recount the political events of Nigeria from 1914 to the present in a half-baked and highly selective manner which cleverly avoids the mention of the roles played by their elite who by all natural laws of judgement were actually responsible for the woes that befell not only the Igbo race but the entire Nigeria nation. However, the national archives have the complete and unedited history of Nigeria regarding the political events beginning way back from even before 1914. Shortly after the 1914 Amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates, it started getting clear that the country was bound to fail as the amalgamation in question was done with colonial fiat without the consent and consensus of the different tribes which were over 300. This prompted the political leaders to start asking for de-amalgamation so as to forestall the future danger which the forced amalgamation portended. To that end, Ahmadu Bello, speaking on behalf of the Northern protectorate in 1944 described the amalgamation as "The mistake of 1914 which if allowed to remain will ultimately lead to unstoppable bloodshed and a failed country". Awolowo, speaking on behalf of the Yorubas and Western minorities, described Nigeria as a mere geographical expression not qualified to be called a country let alone a nation. Awolowo added that if the amalgamation could not be reversed, then Nigeria should be structured as a strictly federal state so as to enable each tribe enjoy autonomy this freedom from being dominated by any one single tribe. But Nnamdi Azikiwe, speaking for the Igbos, denounced Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello, terming them ethnic champions. He accused them of nursing a sectional agenda against the unity of Nigeria, and he declared further that the Unity of Nigeria was non-negotiable. After moving the motion for independece in 1953, Anthony Enahoro proposed that a secession clause should be incorporated into the future constitution of Nigeria so as to give legal backing for any tribe to peacefully exit the forced union if it feels marginalized in future. According to Enahoro, such provision in our constitution would instill in all Nigeria's future leaders the fear of the consequences of misgovernance. But Azikiwe, speaking on behalf of Igbos, rose against him in the parliament and labelled him an agent of disunity, and enemy of Nigeria. At a later date, Awolowo too made a case for secession clause, but Azikiwe again resisted him and instigated the colonial authorities to threaten him and Enahoro with charges of treasonable felony if they didn't stop proposing secession clause for the future constitution. While Azikiwe did all these, Igbos cheered and urged him on because they felt the future Nigeria was theirs to dominate and lord it over every other tribe Before independece, Tafawa Balewa too had in a public speech described Nigeria as a British experiment and Nigeria's unity as a British intention which Nigerians themselves don't believe in. But Azikiwe kicked and demonized him too. Had Azikiwe co-operated with Enahoro, Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa about the secession clause, Nigeria perhaps would not have been this misgoverned. It should be noted that there were many Igbo members of the parliament in which Azikiwe fought against Awolowo's secession clause proposal in the link above, but not a single one of them rose against Azikiwe or condemned him. Igbos initially never wanted to hear anything like secession in Nigeria because they so much believed, though falsely, that they were the most educated tribe. As an evidence of Igbo domination agenda hence their initial resistance to the idea of secession; here is a quote: "From all indications, the god of us Igbos have destined us to rule the whole of Africa" Northerners have clearly known this & will never succumb to cheap political trick, how can u call us backward and at the same time asking us to go back to 1963 constitution talkless of even amending the current constitution? 5 Likes 1 Share |

Hashabiah: Because Ezeife said so and it's foolish for anybody to start to agitate for his tribesman to be president in that brazen, primitive and selfish manner. It hasn't gone that bad to give the presidency to any region just because they ask for it, people work for political offices, nobody agitates or begs for it. Ibo president is neither priority or concern of Nigeria, because Nigeria does desire an Ibo president by all means. It's the Southeast that craves , raves and weeps for an Ibo president by all means, even to kneel and prostrate for every other Nigerian one by one. Then for what? Shameless people. 2 Likes |

ideatoprince18: Nice one my brother. The Igbo leaders that went to beg are not patriotic Igbo men. I can't imagine Afenifere going to beg on behalf of Sunday Igboho with all the security issues we are facing on the South West. Who are the so called Igbo leaders in the first place?! Yorùbá people doesn't have a monolithic interest group that's leading them. Afenifere and other interest groups in Yorùbá land can't talk on behalf of the entire Yoruba people...So who are the Igbo leaders begging on behalf of Nnamdi Kanu? 1 Like |

adenigga: Nothing that Igbos will not hear in this country. Just reading this Arewa youth man makes one sick. If not for the skewed political structure created by northern soldiers to favor Arewa north economically and politically, how could this Arewa man get the guts to address the Igbos in this insulting manner? If he doesn’t understand that zoning determines how Nigeria chooses president, because of the skewed political structure, and that the zoning formula dictates that it’s the turn of the Igbo to present a successor to PMB, he is in for a big struggle against the Igbo. 1 Like 1 Share |
