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.... 20 Likes |

Option 3: Ibos are the loudest in these election because they haven't produced a President or head of State in 60 years 22 Likes 7 Shares |

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. 20 Likes 3 Shares |

My observations on the people's choice are based on reality, that of tribalism and sectionalism is based on the internet you speak of.

Moh247: 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.

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… 12 Likes 3 Shares |

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