PoliticsRe: National Security Adviser:my Take by Belafonte(m): 6:43pm On Jun 15, 2023
With the proliferation of insecurity and insurgents on all sides, the role of the NSA hasn't been more crucial to the survival of our country than it is now. We need to eradicate Boko Haram, kidnappers, killer herdsmen and UGM or we will no longer have a country in the near future

As for Nuhu Ribadu, I dont know if he can be trusted because the insecurity in and from the north is our biggest challenge. However, I trust Tinubu's judgement and believe he knows what he's doing. Still early days though

Ako luo uno nwannem. Your people have said they made lagos what it is. Well, it's time to take your development strategies to your own region and make it the envy of Africa.

Come to think of it, if you leave and Lagosians die of hunger wouldn't that make it even easier to waltz in take what is rightfully yours? Have no fear but patience. I hear igbos are selling off their properties in lagos I'm impressed. Put your money where your mouth is aku luo uno. Ile ya mah igbo niggaz kiss kiss kiss

Can you name one thing Igbo has done that Yoruba hasn’t done?
This is a very poignant question. Is there any sphere of life or human endeavour where yorubas are not excelling? This disdain igbos have for yorubas still amazes me, because what do you have that we don't have (apart from an extreme propensity for chest-beating and self-deceit of course grin grin)?

Gajagojo:
Lol

That is not my objective
I am here to persuade and to be persuaded
I don't know everything but I know Ibos approached the last election with self interest . Yoruba
youth allowed themselves to be manipulated by superficial logic neglecting history

I can summarise Ibos for you
1. They want to dominate everyone and will do anything to achieve that
2. From independence they perceived Yoruba as greatest obstacle to that goal
3. Whether or not you believe that was the purpose of January 15 1966 coup Ironsi pursued that agenda
4. Ojukwu lost out on the July 1966 counter coup and refused to come to terms with reality pursuing a futile war
5. This refusal to face reality and live in fantasy is at the core of their self evaluation and world view
6. They blame Awolowo and by extension the Yoruba for their humiliation in the war and hope one day to see Yoruba suffer. Those who lived through the war like Charly Boy carry this baggage and transmit it to the next generation. That Yoruba betrayed them and Awolowo seized their money
7. Again with that story you find total imperviousness to any alternative logic.
8. To believe that somehow Obi would pursue a unifying agenda is funny. Let Obi point out 2 or 3 Yorubas that were close to him when he was governor or Ijaws. Even among Ibos he discriminates for Catholics.
9. He rode on the back of EndSars,anti Tinubu and antiBuhari sentiment.

But let us assume there were only 4 or 5 Ibo candidates and no other Nigerian I will not pick Obi from 1 to 10
You know being a nairaland veteran, I'm not a stranger to the igbo rhetoric against yorubas but I've always held a glimmer of hope that perhaps it's only an ignorant few that hold these anti-yoruba narratives. This last election cycle proved me painfully wrong.

Also, in the last 2 years I've come to understand that igbos actually detest yorubas. I hear comments like 'you don't behave like yoruba people' 'you don't look yoruba' etc, and thy expect me to take it as a compliment rather than the insult it is. Meanwhile, these are the same set of people that claim 'omo ibo' is a slur.

Sincerely, you don't need to say too much, I underd you perfectly. It's such a shame that the igbos are the way they are, that's life I guess. I hope the igbos understand that yorubas don't give half a fück about you guys. Every tribe/culture has their less desirable attributes but for you to think y'all are superior and even rub it in our faces will always meet with stiff opposition.

Next election cycle when yorubas oppose you, don't come out saying that's how we've always been. This particular one has sown seeds of discord that we'll all real from in due season. No ekun egbere please. Despise and detest us with your chest, we too will show you why our yoruba cultural has survived more than a thousand years on this earth. We dey house for una

Gajagojo:
There is no redeeming feature about Obi. You were manipulated that is all there is to. Psychologically it is difficult to admit that.


Atiku is a much better option than Obi.

Obi can only contribute in a classroom.

His instincts are obvious to anyone who paid attention when he was governor. And who pays attention to Ibos generally.

If you have paid attention properly to Ibos you would never vote one to be president
Alright. Alright

Because Nnamdi Azikwe opposed Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello insertion of secession clause in to the constitution because Igbo were at that time dominating. Ojukwu fought Adaka boro for declaring Republic of Niger delta and imprison him.You have resisted others when they wanted to.We will only release you people too when we are ready.

Bro,I am soo disappointed in you that you tried to impress Igbo by voting OBI!

What were you thinking bro?


You have not gone than the memory lane that Igbo font appreciate and respect anybody they are not dominatinghuh?.....you didn't go down the memory lane and pass through 2011 when yorubas voted massively for GEJ and how they hijacked the government and spit on yorubas face!

I didn't vote for OBI,but when I heared he lost lagos I wan not really moved,then I opened my Facebook and I started reading Igbo people comments,I was so ashamed of being a yoruba man!...I developed so much rage for yorubas that voted for OBI immediately...why are we yorubas not smart while relating to Igbo?,have we forgotten history? ....OBI and Igbo used Christianity to divide we yorubas!
..yorubas Christians forgot that Christian-christian ticket started with Awolowo in 1979.Igbo people voted hausa fulani muslim shagari instead in 1979 and 1983...they abandoned the south and Christianity.The same set of people who hate Awolowo use hell fire to threaten my educated brothers to vote for their brother 43yrs after!
😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂
Bro first of all, your disappointment is irrelevant.

Secondly, I didn't vote to impress anyone, I simply did that in good conscience thinking Obi would be most competent considering Tinubu's many gaffes (the balablu sessions etc).

Now that Jagaban is on the throne and he's back to his old self. I thank God Obi didn't enter because we for no hear word again for Nigeria. If I had to do it again I'd vote Tinubu and even campaign for him

Someone said that we don't sell lands locate at rural. It will help u to note that lands at rural areas are ancestral lands. Those lands were inherited from fathers to fathers. And in our culture, you will hardly see an igbo man selling his father's land. Even if an igbo man in severe poverty, he will hardly sell his inherited land. Those who eventually sale their own land will hardly sell to someone not from their village/kindred how much more selling it to someone from another state. This is a cultural thing and not because we don't want to sell the land to others.
Land in yorubaland wasn't inherited? It was a gift from angels? Do you know the meaning of omo onile /omonile? grin grin

My utmost respect to you Belafonte for speaking your truth. A lot of people, not restricted to but especially Yorùbá's, were in the same boat as you.

Obidients can't help themselves. They won UI polling unit and flooded social media with celebratory videos. They won Lagos state in the Presidential elections and they went to Alausa to climb the street lights and sing the national anthem.

At some point sha, they must learn to calm down.

Yes, I don't think it's mandatory to hang the president portrait in any office but I think it's now official culture to do so, as it signifies the organization is truly official and loyal to the government.

Any organization that fails to do so, their details should be put here, so that the government can see them and probably figure out the reasons behind it or we forward their details to the appropriate government agencies.

Feel free to send their details here and I can assure you...

I do not have much information about this riot, but the little I gathered was that this was a retaliatory riot because of that happened in the north. Am not in anyway giving it a thumbs up. Like I said, I will dig into it and get back to you.

Aside from that riot, which other riots have happened in the east and compare it to that of other regions.


Lol.... You and I knw that lots of Igbos have been condemning the killings, if you check my post too, you will see that I myself have on a number of occasions condemned the killings.

Most Igbos talk here on nairaland because of the post been created by others. Check the whole of politics section, almost every thread is channeled towards Igbos, and so this make them to speak up in defence, just as you are doing.
Oh, so now that it's your turn to be stereotyped you can make the distinction between some igbos for and against an agenda, but when it comes time for igbos to stereotype other tribes you can freely profile all members of one tribe under a certain agenda? Can you now see that you're deceiving yourselves grin. You guys are comedians. If all Nigerians hate igbos according to you and your brothers, then by your very own logic you all are terrorists and terrorist sympathisers. Capisce? grin grin grin
PoliticsRe: For A Second Time; What Have The People Of SE Don Wrong. by Belafonte(m):
Ofemmanu1: Igbos are the only race in nigeria that celebrate failure. In 1982, the igbos celebrated the defeat of biafra by welcoming ojukwu with fanfare on his return from asylum haven been granted amnesty by the igbo overlords- the hausa fulani. He revelled in the fanfare and promptly married FFK left over- forgotten the over 3million lgbos that died in the war and with many of them languishing at OJI RIVER CAMP.
The second celebration is the release of kanu with the most humiliating bail conditions ever granted an accused in the annals of Nigerian justice system. A bail conditions targeted at the entire Igbo race and granted by an Hausa Fulani judge. I could not believe that with all the noise, such bail conditions will be signed. But he signed and in his eagerness to leave kuje he abandoned his two conspirators in kuje. The bail conditions wiped out the Identity of the ibos and EKEREMANDU was made the enforcer of the conditions.
Now Kanu is back at kuje prisons eating watery beans and Ekweremadu is languishing away in UK detention.
I'm not surprised by this. "Bravery" is their highest aspiration and it is foolish bravery. They cannot strategise for long stretches of time, they cannot calculate and give concessions when necessary. Nzogbu nzogbu is their only strategy

They just live and shout, the'll never learn.

PoliticsRe: For A Second Time; What Have The People Of SE Don Wrong. by Belafonte(m):
A word of advice to igbos. When you are in a competition, you must learn the rules of the competition and play by them. You can only change the rules when you have attained rulership of the competition and not before.

You must learn to negotiate and compromise, otherwise you will wail and wail till eternity and be opening sorrowful threads like this one.

What have igbos done wrong?

Disrespect for other peoples' beliefs and way of life. Period. You people see yourselves and your ways as superior and it informs your attitudes and communication towards others. You lack regard for other people's customs and cultures and even their heritage, eg, "we developed Lagos" "na we get Lagos".

Yorubas might not say anything when you spout such grating drivel and we won't forget, but we will remind you when a Chinedu wants to contest for governorship of Lagos.

Do you know that, I, a yoruba man travelled outside Lagos (my place of primary residence) to vote Obi? And I regretted that act before the end of election day. Why? Because when Obi won Tinubu in Lagos, we started hearing all sorts of nonsense like "we go take Lagos from them" grin. Una papa. Wetin una wan take? That is why Chinedu was roundly defeated in Lagos.

I promise you, a lot of yorubas who voted for Sanwo Olu voted for Obi and would have cast their votes for Chinedu if you and your people had the little thing called respect.

I can beat my chest and say that I am a detribalised Nigerian but I'm not so detribalised that I'm ignorant of igbo ways of disrespect, both overt and covert.

As usual, Tinubu has recruited faceless idiots to issue statements in the name of Ohaneze to make it seem like Ohaneze is defending a criminal who the rest of Nigeria is celebrating his arrest.

That’s how they bought and commissioned another idiot who calls himself Okechukwu Isiguzoro to issue scrupulous statements in the name of Ohaneze during the elections.

What we don’t understand is why Tinubu and Owambe boys are going this far just to tarnish the name of Igbos.

Or are they so threatened by Igbos?
