One is the mother of the other and she's in her 40s. Let that sink in. Some people just don't age at all. It's hard to tell who the mum and daughter is, right?

The Igbos are the wandering Jews of West Africa… gifted, aggressive, Westernised; at best envied and resented, but mostly despised by the mass of their neighbours in the federation – Henry Kessinger (famous American diplomat)

Back in the days, men made fortune out of war, war was business. But today, the Igbos are making fortune out of business, because business is the new war.

Before we talk about the plight of the Igbos in Nigeria, let us start by defining a word that has been frequently used by the Igbos to define their situation in the country, marginalisation! According to a good number of dictionaries, to “marginalise” means “to treat someone or something as if they are unimportant.” It also means “to take or keep somebody away from the centre of action.” Another dictionary defined it as “relegating someone or a group of people to a lower or outer edge of a community or society.” For so long, the Igbos have bitterly cried out against apparent marginalisation by the Federal Goverment of Nigeria. There is almost a zero federal presence in the east, despite the fact that the eastern region is the most technologically advanced of all the regions. This suggests unequivocally that the Igbo-speaking Nigerians have been unjustly treated. There is a well calculated ploy by the powers that be from other ethnic nationalities to ensure that the Igbo region stays perennially underdeveloped.

What the Igbos are going through can be traced to none other than Yakubu Gowon. Gowon should explain why a people who were by far the dominant majority ethnic group were suddenly relegated to only one out of the three states created by him in the old Eastern region. Why alter demography just to make the Igbos a minority in a region where they were the majority? Since then, the Igbos haven’t been able to get this injustice reversed and till date, they have seen more states and local governments created in other regions across the country. Nigerian historians are unanimous that the 1963 census remains the most transparent in the country till date. The 1963 census stated that one out of every four Nigerians was an Igbo, which means that if things were done equitably in this country, the Igbos should have a 25 per cent representation in all federal institutions as well as a 25 per cent share of all states and local governments created since independence.

We must tell ourselves the truth and stop living in denial. Nigeria as it stands today is sitting on a keg of gun powder and if we must stay together as a country, we have to sit down and discuss the terms and conditions of our coexistence. No section of the country should be treated better than others. I have heard some northerners mutter several times that power belongs to them. “Born to rule,” the old Sokoto State slogan is a clear confirmation of what has been psyched into the system of every northerner. And they keep saying “One Nigeria?” Isn’t it obvious that the northerners are more Nigerians than other Nigerians? That’s why they could openly threaten the nation with violence like they did in the just concluded presidential election. It was peddled about that if Buhari had lost the election, there would have been trouble in the country and as a result, a lot of people voted against their wishes especially in the north. So many issues need to be addressed in this country. For example, how do you explain why Arabic is on the naira when the official language of the country is English? How do you explain why an Hausa man is allowed to carry daggers freely when others get arrested for carrying a razor blade?

Please, can someone explain to me who the real Hausas are? I have travelled to virtually all the northern states and in most of the states, the people I met claimed not to be Hausas but from other tribes. According to them, that they spoke fluent Hausa doesn’t mean they are Hausas. Nancy who’s from Kaduna always makes it known to whoever cares to listen that she’s not Hausa but Zango Kataf. My guitarist who’s from Nasarawa State grumbles whenever I call him an Hausa man. Amina, my Fulani neighbour screams and curses whenever I call her an Hausa lady. So who then are the real Hausas? What states are they occupying? Stop using politics to bamboozle me that Hausa is a majority. Stop using politics to lump Hausa and Fulani together because you want me to think you are highly populated. In the just concluded presidential election, Katsina State had over two million eligible voters, I have been to Katsina several times and I can’t remember ever seeing so many people there. How did they come about the figures in the presidential election? May God save this country from desperate politicians because it doesn’t make any sense politicising the population of the North when we see otherwise each time we travel there. It is in the same light they claimed Kano was more populated than Lagos in the census conducted during Obasanjo’s regime. We are tired of these lies. If we must remain an indivisible country, the true population of the Hausas, Igbos and Yorubas and every other ethnic group in this country must be made public as well as the number of Christians and Muslims. Enough of the Hausa-Fulani scam or the Zango Kataf man being counted as Hausa.

Finally, the fact that other ethnic groups see the marginalisation of the Igbos as relative or just a perception and not based on the objective realities on ground is a shame. The Nigerian army today cannot produce a bullet but the boys in Awka are producing not only bullets but guns. An unbiased Federal Government would have taken advantage of that and create employment as well as exporting to generate money for the country. With a little government encouragement, Aba can easily rival the industralised nations of the world in production. If Ndigbo won’t be allowed to enjoy the freedom, to develop and maximise their collective and individual potential through unfettered access, use and exploitation of God-given resources – human and material, the country might soon be plunged into another years of Biafra vs Nigeria and this time around, there will be a victor and a vanquished.

Thank God today the card reader worked. All these issues of card readers did not work were ploy by the PDP to rig the election. Thank God it failed.

A beg release their money for them. If you want to punish money smugglers arrest GEJ, Orisajieafor and others that attempted to smuggle our $ 9m to south Africa. Na people hustle you want to seize. Leave their money for them.

I be Igbo and a well trained Historian. Even if our ancestors might be Jews, we better be the Igbo that we know that to go and claim Jews we don't know or can we effectively substantiate it. Thanks I be Igbo.

One mistake some women make is that they don't study their husbands emotional reality towards intimacy. Do you initiate love making? If yes how do you do that? I have been married for some years now but I can't remember her for ones nitiating love making.
Study him and know his soft sports or weakness areas when it comes to love making. How you will know is this. The very few times you make love, find out the spot on his body that he will always want you to touch. This can be known during the fore play time. Look sex starts from the mind before the physical finishes it. Most men have some. My own is if a woman rubs the tip of my penis. Wear sensual clothes in his presence most times. Make sure he sees you clean most times. If he comes back from work, make the house condusive for him. Don't allow him be worried about work, business or any thing. Initiate sex when possible.
My secretary in the office has the same issue and just like you, her husband disvirgined her. The man was not into women and she knows nothing much about sexism. Help him to take interest in sex. Very soon name u go run. U go still come back here to cry fro help with the caption MY HUSBAND WANT TO KILL ME WITH SEX.

Although it is not easy for ladies but I think it is not bad at all. In my secondary school years, I had no time for women but observed that some of them liked me. They were giving me green light which I know but never follow. The closest one got towards asking me out was telling my friend how she feels if me. The girl in question is someone I admire as well but I was a very big phycologistical wreck and avoided women. I was not comfortable staying with women.
I went to only boys secondary school, my family is made up mainly boys so I had little relationship with the female and was not comfortable staying near them. If anyone that I admired then had approaced me , she would gave helped me out of my misery. Some men stay away from women cus they don't even know how to approach things.

But wait ooooo. Why on earth will a man wish to turn to a woman? Please answer me if you have any reason to let me know.

Can you survive in the east? You know it is not possible. Why dont you people learn from the Igbos. We survive and make marks any where on earth. I regret gettong into this stupid debate caused by one idiotic Oba. I have a very nice Yoruba friend here in south south. You and your confused OBA cannot make me to view him from a very bad way. Park well small boy.

Which other man's land are we talking about here. We are in Nigeria and Lagos is Nigeria. The Igbiz there did not steal lands. Most of them bought lands and developed them. It is a very great foolishness for anybody to make such statement like the so called Oba.

abbey621:
I am no fan of Oba Akinolu, in fact I still believe he was not meant to be king but however harsh his statements might sound rest assured it's all just politics. The Igbos should involve elders in this matter not useless youths with wayward statements. Nobody can threaten the Oba of Lagos no matter how you feel about him, he's still BOSS. I know it must hurt to watch a monarch utter such careless statements but that's just some of the things that comes with living in another man's land; this issue should be resolved by dialogue not by issuing ultimatums.

My brother, don't mind that stupid Oba. Most Yoruba people are very envious of Igbo people's achievement. They have this inferiority complex thing boiling inside them. A stupid OBA is as well envious of Igbos s achievement.

hedonistic:

As a proud Igbo person, this part of the useless Oba of Lagos, a son of a worthless dog, hurt my massive ego beyond what words can describe. Has the Oba or any oily Yoruba bastard given a free house to any Igbo resident in Lagos? Has the Oba or any bastard Yoruba landlord ever allowed an Igbo tenant stay in their house for free without collecting rent? I know how much my Igbo brethren buy and rent OVERPRICED properties in Lagos. That is testament to our industriousness and wealth. Nobody has ever "dashed" us anything for free out of so-called hospitality and charity. That's why I get pissed to my bone marrow when lazy bastards like the Oba and his servile amala subjects talk as if they have done the Igbos in Lagos any favours.

Go to Abuja, Igbos own the highest number of properties - houses, housing estates, hotels, shopping malls, etc. Uncountable. And I don't mean Igbos that are politicians. I mean ordinary Igbo businessmen. Meanwhile, the only Yoruba you would find in Abuja are either hungry taxi drivers or civil servants/white collar workers/politicians leeching off the commonwealth. These idiots have zero industry, ingenuity, and acumen. They are only comfortable in their so-called Lagos. Extremely annoying. I even hate these lazy slobs more than Abokkis these days.

Hey u no go sleep? Your mate never sleep? Ur senseless OBA wey talk that crap, don sleep ooo.

i talk am u no b yoruba dude u jst want to belong or maybe ur mother wey be sex machine na igbo

This is one major reason in Nigeria we are still not developing. A useless king will wake up and believe that God has given him powers. He thinks that he can threaten millions of Nigerians because he has political interest. He is fool. Tell Nigerians the reason why they should vote your Ambode and not talk crap. Who is he?

You are a big fool. The older fool that calls himself your Oba is pushing people like you to be mad and you are falling for it. Remember you people have Yoruba people in other parts of Nigeria. Here in south south, a sizeable number of them exist. When it comes to the Igbo man, an average Yoruba person used to develop inferiority complex. Most Yoruba people are very envious of Igbo people. I just don't want to be dragged into the statement of a mad Yoruba king because I have a very nice Yoruba friend here in the south south. You people should caution your mad king.

thelastmediator:
Ultimatum as usual, We are use to it. As a young boy,I witnessed the Yoruba Vs Hausa and Yoruba Vs Ijaw crisis in a part of Lagos and I know what the Yorubas are capable of. The Igbo should thread with caution. Just a piece of advice.

Someone should help me tell this Kunle or whatever he us called that if a business is not favouring you , you can change business. No stupid man stays in a business and be blaming others for his failures. Don't push your foolishness to millions of Nigerians because they are Igbos. If film making is not rewarding to you, go and sell pure water my friend. Don't come to the open to show your inferiority complex and stupidity. Are you telling me that no Yoruba person is involved in the illegal business if film pirating. Park well plantain head Kunle. Stop crying my friend.

I will only say Thank you Jesus. We had Mbaka from one end and my prophet from another end telling GEJ about the will of God. Thank God he took it in good faith. God will bless him. Thank you Jesus.

You are lucky indeed. The only problem was that you allowed your wife and bad friends to cut short your luckyness. Just enjoy the last one month and some days remaining of those luck. You can sponsor Mama P to contest as the governor of Bayelsa next year. From there she can make it as the Vice President and when her President dies, she will then be a President. Well na u sabi wetin you go answer. May you go answer Papa peace. This will make you people to return to Aso. I am just advising shaaaaa.
God bless you richly GEJ.

Look you here this boy. No carry Mama Piss play ooooo. U no vote for her husband. So park well. She is resting. Is it easy to dance all those Shoki during the election period? Is it easy to contribute to your husband's defeat in an election? Abeg leave her alone ooooo. She needs rest and as well needs to think if she will go and contest for the Governorship if Bayelsa next year from where she will be a Vice President. Later president(GCFR). We will bounce back.

Why fine Mama?

An2elect2:
I don't belong to any cos i don't go to "church" anymore.

God punish Satan. No wonder she de visit Abdulsakam Abubakar. We are waiting. The only thing I know is that her salary and that of her children's salary cannot fetch them this kind of lifestyle. God de watch. We no get work and people de steal us dry.

Who are u to close the thread. Are u drunk? You people should leave GEJ alone abeg. Una don win am. Una never do? Una wan make Im end up in German hospital? A beg leave him alone.

You are pitying the wrong person. I de pity Mama Piss. The woman that has been removed as first lady. The first Lady thing the shark her well well. I really pity the woman.

What do you expect him to do naaaa. He was busy fighting dragging numbers of Northern votes in the collation center and his oga GEJ called Buhari to congratulate him. His party said that they will accept the result. Their chief thug(Fayose) also congratulated Buhari. Do you want him to be a scape goat and be left on his own to go down? He acted fast not to be caught up in the quagmire.

Park well my guy. You contributed to GEJ loosing the election.

Park well my guy

My own is Buhari. Buha, Buha, Buha

More than 80% of what is happening in our different religious institutions are human initiative. We human thing that we can create situations to control and keep people to God. No. Most of these human initiatives in churches end up making members to live pretentious lives. Thank God he has realised himself. The strict confused nature of Deeper life is very worrisome and even disadvantageous to mainly women inbthw church. It makes most of them to live life of pretence. God have mercy.

Abeg give me sugar mummy. We the talk about election, you the share sugar mummy. The Sugar Mummy and Daddy you are sharing in Nigeria will answer. Na only you waka come to come share Sugar mummy. There is God ooooooo.Continue.

Aboki4inside:
We will see d real change o when Buhari wins... RUBBISH... The problem with many Nigerians is that we fantasize a lot, we want something instantly when development is gradual, we want change which has already begun with GEJ. please if you hate him, cant you please allow him finish what he has started? Can't we use our brains? Buhari ruled what did he do? We want CHIBOK GALS, 24/7 power supply abi? it just like a mechanic saying if he touches a car whose engine has knockdown, it would start.. Is it not a gradual process?? GOD HAVE MERCY>>

Development gradual for other Nigerians but fast for the PDP politicians. What are you saying. Is 16 years not enough to at least fix the power issue or refineries? These guys steal money as if Nigeria us their private business.
