Could More Than Fifty Percent Of Nigerians Actually Be Igbo? by LocalStandard1(m): 6:30am On Feb 09, 2023
After reading this piece you will be left with two options only. Either you agree more than fifty percent of Nigerians are Igbo or you admit Nigerians no longer care about tribe and Peter Obi is the most popular candidate today.

Let me start like this. No day goes by that I don't read people accusing and alleging someone is Igbo just for having a different view especially criticizing Tinubu, Buhari or the APC (which the Tinubu supporters now are at the forefront).

Some people have started this 2023 elections thinking they will use the same mode of oppression and perceived sentiments of old as other previous elections. "Push for a villain, one the people love to hate. Attack them like theirs no tomorrow!"

I see myself and an uncountable host of others having to clarify "I'm not Igbo!" cause we support a divergent candidate, group or views they think everyone should join and hate.

The thing is, the way I see it no one cares as it is. Well maybe one section of the country still do. But generally using sectionalism or tribal connotations to sway people's opinions is getting stale and old. About 95 percent or so of Nigerians today weren't even born during the civil war, we don't care!

My question is. Now that most people are automatically called Igbo or IPOB cause they support a certain candidate and views is it safe to say:

1. Igbo people are by far the majority in Nigeria? Or....

2. Peter Obi and the Labour Party actually have the most support from common Nigerians?

Pick one....

You mind tinubu miscreants. In Rivers State,Everywhere you go it is peter obi. Even most Wike 200k aides will be voting for Obi. That is to say that we have now turned into Igbos by local tinubu urrchins who have never traveled out of Oshogbo and ogbomosho.

why they seem the loudnest is because of option one or two. So your option is redundant.

What is the internet? I don't know that please tell me what it means.

I stay in a territory that's mixed, tribes and religion. My observations on the people's choice are based on reality, that of tribalism and sectionalism is based on the internet you speak of.

So educate me, do I leave in an alternate reality or is it you who leaves on Mars that you deny reality?

Or maybe it's obtion two cause I am not Igbo, neither are the majority around me.

Or maybe you're just too tribalistic to admit reality. No one cares about your anti-Igbo sentiments but you and your type. Nigeria and Nigerians may have moved on while you're still sleeping.

I can confirm what you're saying and it's true cause even the Edo State Governor confirmed it when he said his own state and household are all OBIdients. Or is Godwin Nogheghase Obaseki also Igbo?

Igbos are everywhere, but 50 percent seem like a lot.

I choose the other option, I can’t believe someone left office, rejected payments of any sort, never assigned a land to self, friends or family members, created jobs, worked and saved for the state, till date have asked anyone to go check everywhere if he ever embezzled money belonging to the state while he served and no one can come with anything(read that 3 times again). I will if I was ever in his shoes, I damn will!!!!!!!!
A closer look at his lifestyle too will tell a lot. Sometimes I wish he isn’t contesting so Nigerians can be what Lagbaja sang about “ 200 million fools”…

Even a current governor who criticizes him cannot even find a thing in the books to accuse him of.

That’s virtue and exceedingly competent.

It’s an insult to compare Obi to a senile old thief and a Dubai based spv crook, unbelieveable!!!!,

you have to be a crook to compare them , you just have to…

How can wike have 200k aides, he should be in jail once he leaves office if that’s true, 30 is too much for a governor, they see soo much money and they build little and waste the rest.

Watch him leave office and leave billions of debt for the next governor to pay. I hate Nigerian politicians

Do you have to be mannerlessly rude in expressing yourself

This is supposed to be an adult conversation

Everyone not supporting Obi can't all have anti Ibo sentiments and tribalistic

Please answer me I will be waiting.

I am not the one that goes about calling everyone Igbo or IPOB, it you people. You and Tinubu supporters have called me and plenty others, Igbo and IPOB here so many times I can't even count.

Let's use this statistics on Nairaland right now then.

If you support Tinubu hit LIKE.

if you Support Peter Obi hit SHARE....

bro, I tell you he has although I don't know if the Numbers are up to 200k. I know so many of his aides. The man is just wasting rivers money but has refused to increase salary of some civil servants.

Have never yoruba's so dumb like the ones on nairaland,an obvious local site were anything goes.

Why would you guys Call everyone that support obi ipob if not mental devaluation?

Y'all still can't come to terms that obi is accepted by sane Nigerians all over the country.

Y'all should take a break from nairaland were you guys are local champion and come on international site like Twitter or Instagram and label every supporter of obi ipob. And let's see how it goes.

Supporters of obi are more than the five eastern state combined.

Y'all should try and get sence

Thank you! Sadly even fellow Yorubas and even Yoruba Muslims that I know here have fallen victim to their tribal name calling, yet this very tribalist here denies it.
