Blame Past And Present S/E Governors Not The
Oba Of Lagos By Jessica Obioma
My husband and I really relished the jokes that
flooded social media as a result of Oba Akiolu’s
threat to drown the Igbos living in Lagos in the
lagoon if they don’t vote for his candidate –
Akinwunmi Ambode. The one that takes the cake is
not Basket mouth’s discounted live jackets for the
Igbos. No, it’s the one that says Igbos living in
Lekki had refused to come out on the Election Day
to vote because they live next door to the lagoon. I
thought that was hilarious.
Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu
Now seriously speaking. That threat by the Oba
wasn’t funny at all. However, nothing about those
crude, mean comments from the Oba surprised
me because this particular Oba has always come
across as one of the few less accommodating
Yoruba men I have ever seen. Royalty is not about
brute force or hooliganism. But let me move on.
It’s about time my brothers and sisters from
Igboland sat back and took stock of how and
why things have turned out so hopelessly and
helplessly for them. The civil war ended many
decades ago. How did they sit back and allow a
few mean greedy and little-minded
kleptomaniacs from their own tribe reduce
them to a charity case in other lands. Why
have they allowed past and present South East
Governors to rob them of not only their means
of livelihood but also their right to live and
work in their home land? Once the enabling
environment is not there for you to thrive and
blossom you are forced to seek solace
elsewhere. And that’s what the systematic
looting of state resources by past and present
South East government have done to sons and
daughters of Igboland. Why won’t the likes of
Akiolu denigrate them when their own so
called leaders have devalued, diminished and
degraded them?
Some years back, a man called Sam Mbakwe as
Governor of Imo state showed selfless leadership
by making the welfare of the citizens a priority. He
was ready to suffer mockery in the hands of the
Shagari government, and was labelled the
“weeping Governor” because he was bent on
making sure his people were not denied their
entitlements. He spent the state resources on
developing the people and their communities.
Even the blind saw it and the deaf felt it. He did not
need to appoint any PR consultant or Lying Press
secretaries to peddle lies in the media about
invisible legacy projects.
Dee Sam Mbakwe, as he was fondly called by all,
provided good roads, clean drinkable water
everywhere and affordable quality medical care.
Even though the state capital was Owerri, he
constructed good roads with deep drainages in
major cities like Aba and Umuahia. He set a
standard which subsequent Governors refused to
emulate due to sheer greed and wickedness. And
he did not have the kind of billions these
Governors have been swimming in. Mbakwe gave
all Imo state University students bursary awards,
and Jim Nwobodo did same in Anambra. Workers
received their salaries promptly. Parents were
able to take charge in their homes. Business
boomed in Aba and Onitsha. People came from all
over Nigeria to buy goods from these markets. But
today Onitsha and Aba look like war zones with
horrific odours everywhere.
Since I999, the South East have been
bedevilled by heartless, blood thirsty, and the
worst breed of greedy Governors. They have
been ruling with high handedness, roguery,
and lies. It’s been a case of Me-my-mother-son
and family plc. You dare not raise your voice or
you pay with your own blood.
So, our helpless and almost castrated Igbo
men, who cannot challenge their Governors, go
about chanting things like “OBJ hates us, even
though his government paraded so many
ministers from Igboland, Hausas don’t like us
that’s why they killed us during the civil war,
oh, Yorubas loathe us, in fact they are all
tribalistic.” So what about your own blood,
your kith and kin in leadership positions? One
of you was Vice President Ekwueme, then
came your so called President Ebele Jonathan,
another is the SSG Anyim, Ngozi has been in
charge of the nation’s coffers for years yet
most of you have not been paid salaries in the
states since December, the Aviation Minister
until lately was Stella your own sister, what
has come out of all these?
They just served their pockets and not the
interest of the Igbos. Awolowo gave his tribe
free education and Fashola is doing the same
in Lagos. Now Igbo young men and women
have left their homes to come and work in
Lagos as house helps so that they could enjoy
free education. Abia state Governor sacked all
the civil servants and teachers in Abia who are
not Abia indigenes even though some are
married to husbands who live and trade in the
state. If it were a Yoruba Governor that did that
Igbo hypocrites, who dare not talk in their states,
would chant to high heavens about tribalism. Go
to that slum called computer village in Lagos and
you will see handsome but haggard-looking
unkempt young Igbo boys hanging around dirty
shops in the name of apprenticeship. They can
hardly finish a correct sentence in English.
The same Igboland that was reputed for thriving in
education no longer cares about it. You now have
to be a thug to a rogue politician, a Malaysian-
based drug pusher, or a 419ner with a base in
South Africa to make it as an Igboman. Courtesy of
our Governors. God will certainly reward these
thieving Governors. When you look at the map of
Nigeria and see the small area called South East
you can see that it would not cost much to develop
it. If only these Governors could use up to 50 per
cent of the allocations they collect monthly from
the federal government there would not be so
much poverty and deaths in Igboland. The biggest
industry in Igboland now is burials. People are
just dying of malaria and high blood pressure
because they cannot afford medical treatment and
they can’t afford even a meal a day. They all look
so malnourished and traumatised even though
they are not in a civil war.
The South East especially Abia state have
paraded the worst set of Governors in the
country since 1999 because these Governors
make a living out of rigging elections and
subverting the will of the people. Any state
INEC chief that comes is easily bought over
with hundreds of millions of the people’s fund
that’s how they keep perpetuating their
stooges in power after they have looted the
state treasury for eight years. They continue to
use their anointed and rigged-in stooges to
milk the state coffers. The South East have
never enjoyed democracy so their people keep
running and seeking a better life elsewhere in
Nigeria. So, why won’t the Oba of Lagos trample
upon them when their own blood are humiliating
and crushing them daily without blinking an eye?
Jessica Obioma, a multi media journalist, author,
publisher, TV and Radio host, is President of
Teenage Life Mission.
The above crap is a ranting of a maggot. A silly conjecture born out of delusional mind.

STOP TEACHING TRIBAL SUPERIORITY

For those wondering why most Igbo feel they are superior to other tribes in Nigeria and why I have been shouting myself hoax these days about the end to racial superiority, I will not stop because I will continue to provide facts to back up my claim. Any Hausa, Yoruba, Ijaw, Efik who claim tribal superiority should be roundly condemned too, all of us must identify this dangerous trend because if we don't, we shall only be postponing the evil days.

CHINUA ACHEBE did much in his work THERE WAS A COUNTRY to paint other tribes as envious of IGBO superiority and he did much to damage the psyche of most Igbo who will read his work and be inspired to believe him. This should provide explanation for the reason why some Igbo youths believe that they are the best in Nigeria, that they country the country's economy, that other tribes are dirty and that other people's lands should be categorizes as 'terra nullius' (no man's land).

Below are some of the "Igbo Supremacist" quotes from Achebe's book:
1. The Igbo “led the nation in virtually every sector – politics, education, commerce, and the arts." (Pg. 66)

Achebe suddenly forgot the facts that the Yoruba man Esan da Darocha (from Ilesha) was the first millionaire in Nigeria. The Yoruba business-woman Madam Efunroye Tinubu (1805-1887) was the first woman in Nigeria to buy a car. William Akinola Dawodu (A Yoruba) born in 1879 was the first importer (dealer) of motor car in Nigeria -he was the sole agent for firestone tyres, Dogde, Chevrolet, and Rio motors. He was also the principal promotor of numerous Ford vehicles in the country. The first Igbo man to buy a car was , Igwe Orizu I (Eze Ugbo Onya Mba) in 1912.

Kano: In 1851, this city, one of the largest in Africa, made 10 million sandal pairs and 5 million hides for export every year.

Alhassan Dantata, born in 1877, was a Northern Nigerian Kolanut trader and was described as perhaps the richest man in West Africa at the time of his death in 1955; In 1929, when the Bank of British West Africa, opened a branch in Kano, Dantata placed 20 Carmels loads of silver coins in it. That was money speaking.

But Achebe did not see all these as anything so long as the achievers are not Igbo; because only Igbo were leaders in commerce.

The Yorubas were already doctors and Lawyers almost 70 years before the Igbo, but to Achebe, the Igbo were the first in everything. Achebe forgot that Madam Efunroye was sending trading missions to several countries, including Europe before Amalgamation of Nigeria. The fact that the man who gave the Igbo their alphabet (Latinized script) was Samuel Ajayi Crowther, a Yoruba, but according the Achebe, the Igbo led the nation in politics, education, commerce etc.

The NCNC credited to be Igbo party, was co-founded by Herbert Macaulay, a Yoruba who was the first President of that Party; before NCNC, The Nigerian National Democratic Party (NNDP) Nigeria's first political party was formed in 1923 by Herbert Macaulay (a Yoruba) to take advantage of the new Clifford Constitution, the NNDP successfully organized various Lagos interest groups into a single group that was able to compete politically.

In fact a careful study of the list of the associations which made up the NCNC part showed that it was an amalgamation of several cultural associations, and labor movements formed in 1944; with very few Igbo associations represented but according to Achebe, it was the Igbo who led the nation in politics. See the List of the NCNC founding associations below to judge for yourself:

T.U.C. of Nigeria
National Democratic Party
Associated Press (Zikist)
Demobilized Soldiers Union
Calabar Improvement League
Lagos Market Women Union
Ebute Butchers Union (Lagos)
Tailors Union of Nigeria
Bamenda Improvement Association

2. The Igbo were “the dominant tribe.” (pg. 233)
Achebe forgot that the Yoruba had Telephone connection close to 70 years before the Igbo, and that Itu was connected before Enugu. The Hausa/Fulani built empires and cities centuries before the amalgamation of Nigeria, but to Achebe, the Igbo were the dominant tribe.

3. “This group, the Igbo, that gave the colonizing British so many headaches and then literarily drove them out of Nigeria was now an open target, scapegoats for the failings and grievances of colonial and post-independent Nigeria.” (pg. 67) According to Achebe, it is the Igbo alone who chased the British out of Nigeria. The works of Awolowo, Herbert Macaulay, Anthony Enahoro, Pa Michael Umoru, and others.

Obafemi Awolowo advocated federalism as the only basis for equitable national integration; as head of the Action Group, he (Awolowo) led demands for a federal constitution, which was introduced in the 1954 Lyttleton Constitution, following primarily the model proposed by the Western Region delegation led by him.

4. Achebe writes, has “an unquestioned advantage over his compatriots…Unlike the Hausa/Fulani he was unhindered by a wary religion, and unlike the Yoruba he was unhampered by traditional hierarchies…Although the Yoruba had a huge historical head start, the Igbo wiped out their handicap in one fantastic burst of energy in the twenty years between 1930 to1950.” (pg. 74)

Describing the religion of others as 'wary' is not palatable, and to trivialize the traditional culture of the Yoruba is an arrogant display of supremacy and tribalism.

5. “It is my impression that Chief Obafemi Awolowo was driven by an overriding ambition for power, for himself in particular and for his Yoruba people in general…However Awolowo saw the dominant Igbos at the time as the obstacle to that goal, and when the opportunity arose – the Nigeria – Biafra War – his ambition drove him into a frenzy to go to every length to achieve his dreams. In the Biafran case it meant hatching up a diabolical policy to reduce the number of his enemies significantly through starvation – eliminating over two million people, mainly members of future generation. (pg. 233)"

It is obvious from the above quote that Achebe has sown the seed of hatred against the Yoruba in the minds of the Igbo forever. Claiming Awolowo had overriding power for himself and his Yoruba people. He arrogantly claimed Awolowo saw the 'dominant' Igbo as a threat and obstacle that must be removed. This is a deliberate incitement against the Yoruba by an opinion leader and influencer like Achebe. This self-delusive claim of dominance above others is common in several narratives among both the Literates and Illiterates Igbo. This nonsense must stop, it is standing history on its head to claim the Igbo are the dominant ethnic group in Nigeria. Yet these are the people who will accuse all others of tribalism.

According to Achebe within 20 years, the Igbo became the leading tribe in Nigeria, he made this assertion without any statistics.

He made it look like other tribes stopped developing. When evidence contradicted his arrogant claim. The first TV station in Africa was created in the 1950s by Obafemi Awolowo with money from Cocoa; the first University in Nigeria (the University of Ibadan) was founded at Ibadan and not in Igbo land. Awolowo built the first stadium in Africa, the first high rise building in Nigeria, first industrial estate. I guess the Igbo within 20 years surpassed all these records and only the Igbo grew because other tribes went to sleep.

If an intellectual like Achebe could have this supremacist attitude, then one needs not be surprised when not-so educated Igbo claim that their tribe are the richest, the cleanest, the best in Nigeria. This attitude gives false sense of entitlement because people fed with these falsehood will grow up wondering why they are not the leaders in all aspects of the economy since they are the best.

We must make it a mission to correct this dangerous attitude, because it has led to several violent conflicts before not only in Nigeria but in Nazi Germany and in Rwanda. There is nothing like a superior tribe. We must also stop sweeping all dangerous comments and tribalist claims under the carpets for the sake of 'peace.' If not corrected, we are only postponing the evil days.
The poster of the above crap simply dwells in hearsay and innuendos. You have done what Yoruba do best, thus, to claim everybody in Eko who had meaningful source of living as Yoruba. It has not yet down on the writer that anything claimed by Yoruba is completely tinted and instigates element of doubt since Yoruba had have the liberty to incorporate returnees into their society. No Igbo man claims anything but states factual facts which history tends to validate. I guess the poster cannot differentiate fact from fiction as in the case of alleged Dantata’s load of 20 Carmel of silver coins and Bank of British West Africa. What a ninny.

Good one. The Igbos suffer the most brain- drain in Nigeria. They should have a re-think for their own good instead of saying that Lagos is no man's land.
If federal government should give Igboland Lagos or Abuja as it have given Yoruba land and Hausa land, Ndiigbo would have stayed in their Lagos or Abuja which could have hastened the disintegration of the jungle called Nigeria. I am strictly for disintegration of Nigeria so that every Joe could control his destiny.

"Igbo's Didn't make Lagos, Lagos Made the
Igbo's".~By Akin Ajayi Obe.
-Most Igbos say they are the people that
developed Lagos and made Lagos what it is
today. They say without Igbos, Lagos is finished.
And I keep wondering how have Igbos helped in
shaping and developing Lagos?
“Lets get the fact right, Igbos didn't develop
Lagos rather, it is Lagos that shaped and made
the Igbos what they are today. Without Igbos in
Lagos, Lagos will remain Lagos and without
Lagos, most Igbos may likely be nothing.
“Reason for my assertion is that most giant and
top companies that attract millions of people
across the country to Lagos are not owned by the
Igbos so, how have Igbos shaped and developed
Lagos?
“These are the achievements and economic
advancement Igbos gave Lagos and Lagosians;
Tokunbo and Fake Spare Parts at Ladipo Market,
China Electronics and Pirated CDs at Alaba
Market, Bend-Down and Select Clothes at
Idumota, Yaba and Kotangowa Markets, Chinese
and Tokunbo Computer/Phones and Accessories
at Computer Village Ikeja are Igbos economical
achievements and contributions to Lagos. In fact,
most Igbos are causing nuisances in Lagos. A
visit to these markets will tell you the amount of
nuisances that Most Igbos have caused in Lagos.
The environments these Igbo traders are mostly
populated are always polluted with waste of all
sorts, they are dirty, stinking, rough, erect illegal
shops on the roads, on pipeline and railway lines
indiscriminately in these market places that cause
traffic gridlocks and other dangerous situations
and when Lagos State Government dismantles
these illegal shops, they get angry. If Lagos State
Government closes their shops for environmental
violations, they pick offence. How then have the
Igbos developed Lagos?.... think on these......
“As far as I am concerned, PZ, COCA-COLA, 7UP,
CADBURY, MTN, ZAIN, GLO, ETISALAT, DANGOTE,
SHOP-RITE, GOLDEN PENNY, FLOUR MILL,
INDOMIE, UNILEVER, P&G, CHI LIMITED,
GUINNESS, NIGERIA BREWERIES, OANDO,
CONOIL, TOTAL, MOBIL, CHEVRON, SHELL, KFC,
AQUADANA, EKO HOTEL, INTER CONTINENTAL
HOTEL, PROTEA HOTEL, JULIUS BERGER, RCC
CONSTRUCTION, NESTLE, KPMG, GSK,
FRIESLAND FOODS, WAMCO, BRITISH AMERICA
TOBACCO, SCHLUMBEGER, AIT, SILVERBIRD TV,
CHANNELS TV, LARFARGE, etc are not owned by
the Igbos. These companies are what attracted
millions of people to Lagos.
“Igbos shouldn't lay claim that they developed a
place by becoming nuisances. Most of the top
Churches in Lagos are not also owned by Igbos.
House on the Rock, Redeemed Christian Church of
Christ, Christ Embassy, Deeper Life, Living Faith,
MFM, etc are not owned by Igbos. The only
Church that's reasonably big and is owned by an
Igbo man is TREM, while another Igbo Church,
Lord Chosen Church, encourages nuisance in
Lagos and it also doubles as the dirtiest Church
in Lagos.
“Records show that 75% of robbery cases in
Lagos are carried out by Igbos, 85% of ritual
cases in Lagos are carried out by Igbos, 60% of
drug cases in Lagos are carried out by Igbos, 70%
of fraud cases in Lagos are carried out by Igbos,
90% of pirated CD cases in Lagos are carried out
by Igbos, 60% of fake and adulterated drugs in
Lagos that have killed thousands of Lagosians
are carried out by Igbos, in fact, most of the
crimes in Lagos are connected to the Igbos, so
how have the Igbos developed Lagos when they
can't get their hands off crime?
“There's no Igbo man among the top three
richest people in Nigeria, so how are they
successful?
“The truth is that Igbos should be grateful that
the Yorubas accommodated them in Lagos
peacefully, they shouldn't take the meekness and
kindness of the Yorubas for granted.
“Igbos didn't make Lagos but it is actually Lagos
that made Igbos.” End of discussion! ......
Yoruba are full of it. All of sudden, Lagos has become the almighty creator that made Igbo. Please can someone tell the moronic writer of the above crap that Eko was before Lagos and all are man-made?

Your analysis is not balanced. Have you forgotten that here is a case of two yoruba men unlike in the presidency where you have an ijaw/hausa against hausa/yoruba? Lets say the igbos gave Jonathan a block vote in Lagos while the Yorubas gave Buhari same because of Osibanjo. Now Jimi and Agbaje will have to share the votes that yorubas gave to Buhari. Add the Yoruba votes to igbo block votes for Jimi and see what the result will look like, bearing in mind that the votes gap between Jonathan and Buhari was slim.

This is just as a matter of man's calculations anyway. It may or may not go this way in reality though. God knows the best. Let the best candidate win.
Bros, tribalism tends to cloud most peoples' acumen. The political fight in Lagos State is between Yoruba. Any external help is a magic hence the irrational and silly comment by Oba Akiolu.

If not corruption, Nigeria would not have Gen. M. Buhari. Sir, I suggest you eradicate your silly self before any other person.

See dis okoro goat.Was Awo in Aburi Ghana with Ojukwu and Gowon when they reached whatever agreement they reached? You people need to get over the fact that you lost that war. If you start another one today your landlocked lot would still lose. Perpetual losers.
The above post clearly indicated one alignment that deeply struck Nigerians. Where in the previous post that stated Awolowo was in Aburi, Ghana, olodo?

Duru, you have been schooled again today like your ancestors were schooled between 1967 -1970 by Black Scorpion

So take this anyday, anytime, the descedants of Obasanjo Adekunle and Awolowo are ready to take you to the cleaners like we have always done
I know about the free education in western region of Nigeria and its outcome. Believe me, it has not been pretty. I guess your boy did not know that August 1966 when Awolowo was let out of prison preceded January 5, 1967 meeting at Aburi, Ghana. Again, Awolowo was even a member of National conciliation Committee stood up in November 1966. Now you can school your dumbass behind on these facts.

Its only senility that would make a person link Awolowo to Aburi

When Awolowo was never a part of the agreement and Awolowo wasnt released from prison until the war has started
Foolery is a naturel manifestation. You can enjoy it.

In order to reintroduce cultural sanity to Imo State, Mallam Rochas Okorocha needs to be defeated without deposit tomorrow. The jackass is an embodiment of counterculture.

And the Civil war soldiers too killed the useless people in Nigeria. Benjamin Adekunle killed the foolish people who had no sense and came with a knife into a gun fight

You are free to inject the tribal plank into it
I do not know about civil war soldiers who killed useless people in Nigeria. However, I knew about one idiotic and loudmouthed Benjamin Adekunle who was practically man-handled at the battle front by the Biafran soldiers that prompted his sack as GOC of 3MCDO of Nigerian army.

. well an igbo man Major general Alexandria Madibo who was Ojukwu's second in command explain How d war started in his book which he wrote after d war, he explain How d war could Have been avoided entirely when Ojukwu signed d Aburi accord deal in Ghana but for d selfish interest of Ojukwu who successfully deceive his kinsmen that they will win d war...He explain d series of meetings BTW Ojukwu and some "White men" which Ojukwu reluctantly refuses to share d details with anybody incliding hia second on command, he further explain how Ojukwu trusted in white mercenaries he hired more than his own people who feels d pain of d war....he explain how Ojukwu castigated a yoruba man (Major Ademola)who was fighting along side d Biafran soilders since d begining of d war, reason was that Ojukwu didnt like him and ordered his people to killed him by jungle justice (what a shame) a man who was disowned by his people cos he defect to biafra....Major General Madibo also gives account of how he threatened Ojukwu to surrender when he knows that d war can never be won no mater how hard they fought...he explain how ojukwu stationed a TWO army batallions in his native town Nnewi....my friend major secret were released in that book.....
I know telling the truth has become a taboo among certain ethnicities in Nigeria. It is a natural fact that Ojukwu did not reneged on accord reached in Aburi, Ghana but the so-called federal government of Nigeria led by Yakubu Gowon and staunchly encouraged by Obafemi Awolowo.
Please just remember you do not have monopoly on the so-called book written by Alexandria Madibo.
