Politics › I Am Igbo! by AustineE1(op): 5:48pm On Aug 05, 2025
I AM IGBO

I am Igbo.
I am greatness forged in fire,
The embodiment of perseverance.
I rise, not because the world is kind,
But because I refuse to kneel.
No setback can break me,
No hardship can silence me.
My spirit is carved from resilience,
My path lit by the relentless pursuit of success.
Show me an obstacle,
And I will show you how an Igbo person turns it into an opportunity.

I am Igbo.
My ancestors traded in truth long before they traded in wealth.
My word is a contract,
My reputation my greatest currency.
I do not beg for respect, I command it.
My kings are heroes,
Standing tall in honor.
Dignity is our wealth,
And honor is our crown.

I am Igbo.
The architect of my destiny.
Where others see barren land, I see untapped potential.
Where others see risk, I see a future waiting to be claimed.
I am the lifeblood of commerce,
The backbone of industry.
I build empires from nothing,
Turning dust into gold,
Dreams into dynasties.
My wealth is not luck, it is earned, calculated, inevitable.

I am Igbo.
Bold, fearless, and proud.
I walk into any room knowing I belong.
My presence is power, my confidence unshaken.
I do not wait for permission to succeed, I take what is mine.
The world does not have to love me,
But it will respect me.
I have in me Boldness,
Fierceness,
And Compassion.
I am both warrior and diplomat,
Both fire and water.
I know when to build and when to defend.

I am Igbo.
Our graves are sacred,
Resting places untouched by greed or desecration.
We honor our ancestors,
Speak their names,
And pour libations in their memory.
As skilled as we are, no skull is mined.
Our greatness does not come from plunder,
But from creation.
We build, we nurture, we remember.

I am Igbo,
I stand like a garrison,
Fortified, unshaken, a force in comparison.
With explosive receipts, I chase down thousands,
Truth on my tongue, my words form the fountains.
A thinker, a warrior, a mind sharp as steel.
Through battles of mind and the wars of the facts,
I sing for the just, a relentless war drum.
A lion in motion, yet love in my veins.
I speak with a blade,
Cutting through lies with the truths I have laid.
I speak with a blade,
Cutting through lies with the truths I have laid.

I am Igbo.
Generous in heart, vast in spirit.
My home is open, my table abundant.
I take pride not just in what I build, but in what I share.
In my culture, a stranger is family waiting to be embraced.
My love is deep, my loyalty unwavering.

I am Igbo.
Intelligence runs through my veins.
I do not just follow the world’s pace, I set it.
I innovate, I strategize, I lead.
In business, in academia, in the arts,
My name is etched in brilliance.
When an Igbo mind is at work, the world watches.

I am Igbo.
Every December, no matter how far I roam,
I return home.
Because my wealth is not complete until it touches my land.
Aku ruo ulo.
I go to celebrate, to give thanks,
To stand before my ancestors and declare,
“I have done well, bless me to do more.”

I am Igbo.
Our women are unmatched,
Beauty and brilliance woven into one.
They do not just turn heads, they command rooms.
They are fierce, elegant, and unforgettable.
To love an Igbo woman is to understand the meaning of strength wrapped in grace.

I am Igbo.
The richest tribe in Africa,
Not just in wealth, but in willpower,
in culture,
In the audacity to be extraordinary.
My people do not just survive, we dominate.
We are envied, we are admired,
we are unstoppable.

I am Igbo.
A force of nature.
A legend in motion.
My name carries weight, my legacy is eternal.
I do not ask for recognition, I carve my place in history.

I am Igbo,
And the World Knows it.

Hampers001:
So Nigeria have come to the point of negotiating with terrorists?
So they even know who these terrorists are and where to locate them

Imagine oh
My brother,there is more to insecurity in Nigeria than meets the eye. We are taking this road again,wasn't it the same thing Sheikh Gumi was doing a while go and the result was more banditry. It is only a foolish man who keeps doing the same thing and expect a different result.
It seems some people both in and outside government could be making it big by the unfortunate insecurity situation we found ourselves in this country.

It seems you just learnt a new word 'balderdash',anyway I don't issues with you,you just have to earn your salary...goodluck while it last

Even Reno will be laughing writing this,at some point he would have said to himself that he is yet to see a core tribalist like president Tinubu.
Can you imagine,even in his attempt to select a section of the appointments he thinks is balanced,he is still finding it hard to show that Tinubu is not a tribalist which he is. They appointments given to Yorubas from Kogi or Kwara were not even added and the ones given to Yorubas married to people of other region were removed and yet it is still very Obvious.
In comparing with Buhari,he didnt classify appointments Buhari gave to Fulanis separately but rather he placed the whole north together, Tinubu's own is just Yoruba and not even the whole South.
Reno will be wondering what manner of man is he even supporting.

BlakKluKluxKlan:
To know whether a Christian is truely born-again or not, rely not on his/her word but go and ask just a few of his/her neighbours at his/her residence and place of work or trade.

To know who Peter Obi truely is, all we need do is go to his state of Anambra and ask his own people - Gov. Solido and only a 3rd of senior officials who worked closely with him as governor for eight years.

After all, it is said that charity begins at home.
You guys think awkwardly,how do you expect they political elites whom have benefited from the corrupt system in Nigeria to ever say good of him.Why you see some of these politicians against him,is simply corruption fighting back,they know if he ever ascends to that seat,it won't be business as usual!
I am forced to ask you,are you new in Nigeria or just being outrightly childish?
Politics › Re: Yoruba Muslims Curse Tinubu Inside Lagos Mosque by AustineE1: 5:38pm On Aug 04, 2025
Softmirror:
Does that man look like someone who is suffering at all from any kind of hardship?! Always take a look at the people who complain of hardship very well and you will notice that it is all a show of being ungrateful to God.
Here you go again,life is not basically about self,a man only starts growing when you start feeling the pains of others,that some us complain about Tinubu's recklessly bad governance,does not mean we are not doing great in our various endeavors but how about the suffering majority whom have been subjected to the worst forms of poverty through the irresponsible actions of the government. Peter Obi is very wealthy but he has gotten to that point in life where you want to make a difference in your society.
Let's vote rightly,a new Nigeria is possible.
Politics › Re: Peter Obi, So All Your Gra Gra Was For Just A 4 Year Term? by AustineE1: 12:19pm On Aug 04, 2025
Reflect7:
If I was an Obidient I would feel pretty angry and shortchanged that this man only wants to be president for one term.

Is 4 years enough to fix our problems?

Perhaps in a military regime. Not in this our system we practice where everything is subject to debate, consensus, etc.

So it’s very doubtful that 4 years will be enough to transform Nigeria the way Obi has been promising!
Olodo! May be he should be a life president in other to fix Nigeria. Buhari spent 8yrs achieved nothing,Tinubu has spent 2 yrs and he became an obvious disasater,even if you give Tinubu 20yrs, he wreck Nigeria.
What matters is not how long but how well!
Politics › Re: Why Giving Super Falcons $100,000 Each Doesn’t Sit Right With Me by AustineE1: 8:01am On Aug 04, 2025
It is good the athletes were rewarded handsomely,if only people in other sectors like the ones mentioned in the thread are also remunerated properly as seen in working societies.
But we all know that everything about this government is now geared towards 2027,seeking cheap point by over squandering money when it is not necessary,you can't buy love,do they right things,fight systemic corruption, stop reckless nepotism and tribalism,do merit based appointments with consideration of the federal character,develop the political will to fight insecurity to a standstill,stop the bastardization of our judiciary,police and the parliament and encourage true separation of power,due process should be followed in awarding contracts and shouldn't be seen as a conduit pipe for politicians to enrich themselves,stop reckless borrowing,invest heavily in education and health.
Then I can assure you,that Tinubu will not campaign to win,Nigerians of all tribe,religion and colour will stand by him.
But we all know that he lacks the compassion of a leader and his team are neck deep into corruption that it is almost impossible to do the right thing.

Igbophobia:
Did you notice that Igbos seemed to be the only group the AI needed to specify their country? What does that tell you? Why did it not say 'Nigerian Diaspora?'
Why do you think all this hatred and jealousy from a certain region is geared towards doing everything to bring Igbos down. You must understand that a 'golden fish has no hiding place'.
For this same reasons,this your very educative post will never make frontpage,they control the forum. We move on!

tollyboy5:
You guys wants Lagos to feed lazyass state and get nothing in return. If you don't want federal project for Lagos then why were your governors and senators dragging VAT sharing formula?
You want to eat our tax money and still receive massive project?
What kind of parasitic relationship is that?
Lekki deep sea port is a private port.
Lagos Ibadan rail was done by Buhari not Tinubu.
Lagos Ibadan road started from Goodluck. It's a common sense to rebuild the most busiest business road in the country.
You want more project how much do your state contribute to the country's economy to demand Massive infrastructure?
It's a common sense that the states that generates massive revenue receives massive infrastructure.
But people here think upside down.
How many projects has oil producing states got,yet every government in place invest on infrastructures in Lagos however Tinubu's own is done obviously with intention to marginalize others. Yet people pretend as if nothing is happening,just to give peace a chance but after spending our common patrimony on Lagos,tomorrow they tribalists will want you to believe they built Lagos with their money and efforts.You will still hear them telling other Nigerians to go and develop their states,as if they are they ones that developed Lagos.
When you call Lagos 'no man's land',because Nigerian money is massively drafted to build it and Nigeria intentionally placing all head quarters of business establishments there to serve as our commercial headquarters.
The tribalist will still get mouth to talk rubbish tomorrow!na laff,we dey laff...yeye dey smell.

Go and do it in your land. Stop trying to be what you are not in other people's land. Especially for people who detest others from doing such in their own land.

This won't be a big deal if these were people who are accommodating of other people's culture and heritage in their land, but these are people who detest other people's culture and way of life. They always see faults in others' culture while pretending to be blind to their own.
The Lagos new yam festival will hold on the appropriate date despite according to Kemi Badenoch,'Lagos is a city were fear was everywhere',I guess she meant the unrestrained activities of Agberos,street urchins,political touts and government sponsored political rascals. I think we can handle those ones and still go ahead with the celebrations in Lagos.....someone can go and hug the transformer!

Obidients should try and be taking responsibility once and for all. It's those who are in Labour party that accused Peter Obi of marching People to Aso rock. Don't blame others for this.
The last time I checked,Your Tinubu is still the president and in functional societies when such allegations are made,the accuser must be invited or arrested to clarify his accusations, coup plotting is treasonable,dont play yeye politics with it.

The way these Yoruba ethnic supremacists are going in this government should be a cause of worry to reasonable Yorubas,Nigerians are observing the worst form ethnic jingoism,since the creation of this nation.
People are silently keeping records and I bet you because power is transient,it won't be funny when others ascend to that position. The tribalistic nature of this government will stand as the greatest enemy of his 2027 re-election ambition.
Men,this is disgusting,they are boldly robbing it on the faces of Nigerians and expect Nigerians to foolishly support them.if allowed to ever win in 2027,that's when the true ethnic agenda will be fully launched.
Truly,this government is a big disappointment,even reasonable Yorubas will be ashamed of what is happening.

South west 44million including the over 20million Igbos in south west.
North central including Abuja 33million with over 10million Igbos.
North west 63million with over 5million igbos.
South south 33million with millions of Igbos both aboriginal Igbos and others.
Without even mentioning North east with Adamawa,Taraba etc
With my summation,I think Igbos are by far the most populous tribe in Nigeria.

Ojudu is the one playing with fire after losing favour from Asiwaju Tinubu. He was one of them who worked for Prof Osinbajo to contest the APC primaries against Asiwaju and they lost.

Nobody in Lagos will take him serious. He is the second Ekiti man looking for serious trouble from true Lagosians who have called his type irresponsible. In fact, if he recieves the tongue lashing in Yoruba ehn, he will think twice before insulting true Lagosians.
Learn how to attend to messages and not the messenger.Who did this to you guys?so unconsciously blind.

giacomogiovanni:
A rational take.

I don't understand why some black people will complain of experiencing racism in the White man's land but then display the most depraved forms of tribalistic and ethnical barbarism in their native lands.
Tribalism some how has been part of African society,despite the obvious denial but what is particularly suprising in the present surge in tribalism in Nigeria,is because the ego of a god father was bursted in the last elections,he was demystified,they people of Lagos stood their ground,they made a statement,they said no to corruption,no to intimidation,no to promotion of touting and reckless use of power.
However,after the whole episode and the flawed elections,they out come now is to elevate tribalism to state and national levels,now state actors are the ones sponsoring tribalism and from their body language...the briefing from the top is clear.
