We Igbos do not vote according to our leaders!

This is because we are independent!

When will Igbos learn how to play Nigerian politics. Some so called Igbo leaders can't just wake up and adopt someone that has not shown his affinity for the Igbo race. Jonathan has made me start seeing OBG as someone who loves the Igbo race. During his time we had, Dora, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Chukwuma Soludo, Oby Ezekwesili, Frank Nweke etc but if i'm asked to mention the Igbo people in Jonathan's cabinet, the only name that comes to mind is Akunyili. Pls we Igbos must learn how to play our games right. Let's not be fooled by our so-called Ijaw brothers. Even this may sound silly.I'll rather vote an IBB who had an Igbo wife and made Asaba the capital of Delta state than vote a Goodluck Jonathan.

Gbam!

If IBB could promise me that he would try to break the financial strangle that the southwest has on this country and bring power to the East, he would have my support.

He can garner the Igbo vote, by saying a few things in our favor.

And ceding the Igbos found in Delta state and Benue to their kin would also be good as well.

SIMPLE !!!!
YES THIS IS THE TYPE OF PEOPLE THAT SHOULD BE REPRESENTING IGBOS, NOT MORONS AND GARAGE BOYS LIKE EZEUCHE AND CO

If I was representing the Igbo, I would be paying back you Yorubas and Ijaws in the same way you all treated my people. There will not be any love lost.

[quote author=bk.babe97y link=topic=498258.msg6589182#msg6589182 date=1282072353]Nah, I think most of us just concerned that EzeIlekeidiUche is so adamant on wiping out the Ijaw nation and stealing their land/oil for the glory of Ibo land![/quote]Why should we wipe them out? Have you went to Bayelsa? No Igbo man would want to go there. They can keep it. I think they all should be forecfully moved to Bayelsa State.

If you were talking to an Itsekiri man, maybe he would want the Ijaw wiped out.

seanet02,

Stop acting like you have rabies. No one was talking about Biafra. Just Igbo politics which is something you do not understand, because your small cnanot understand such complexities.

Should of known when there are huge number of Igbos congregating in one thread, that these fools would be coming to disrupt the thread. Couldn't they have watched from the sidelines and see us Igbos debate instead of adding their re-tarded comments that do not make any sense?

chyz:
I dont think i can disagree with anything you've said because quite frankly everything is true but the its between him and IBB,who is worse than the other?

Neither! Either Pat Utomi or Donald Duke.

Oba234:
okay, I can clearly see you have some kind of biased against south africa. If I didn't spend 4 weeks in south africa, I may have believe what you wrote, but from my own view, south africa is no different from any developed country. They have their bad part and good part. In reference to crime, I actually felt safe there and I don't believe that they have a higher crime rate than Nigeria, Congo or Sudan. They are just good at keeping records of crime in the country while in countries like Nigeria, the police aren't keeping records and whatever they are keeping is lies, lies, lies. In comparison to first world country, their crime may be high, but in comparison to third world countries, I actually think it's pretty low.

Living there for only 4 weeks in South Africa is not good enough my friend. And the country has the highest AIDs rate in the world after Botswana.

Let us not forget that rape is very common in that country moreso than any other African nation except DR Congo. Do not try to act like South Africa is the promise land. Those xenophobic riots were committed by Africans against fellow Africans such as the Somalis and Zimbabweans. What did they do to desserve to that? Because I heard both people are hard working.

Oba234,

Lets be frank. Even though I agree with most of the things you have been saying, a lot of Africans are envious with Nigerians, because we can compete with them in their countries. Only a Nigerian has the audacity to challenge Africans in their own countries such as in Ghana, Togo, Kenya and South Africa.

Plus, the fact that we are not easily intimidated makes matter worse. Remember that South Africans were killing Somalis and people from Zimbabwe, but were chased away by Nigerians with AK-47s.

These same South Africans who are infected with AIDs and believe in raping their own women and robbing people bring up their own crime. There is a reason why people say South Africa has some of the worse crime in any nation besides Jamaica.

I agree with what Ezeuche is saying. Igbo interest is first and foremost until equality and trust is reached in nigeria. I dont understand why instead of speaking your minds, when some people gang up on one person another person hops in to sound "politically correct".That is the problem with alot of people on nairaland. Igbos must play the game how it goes we might be democratic by nature but the only place that can hold up for the igbos at this point of time is in Igbo land not "Nigeria". Ijaws or any other tribe must not be trusted, just like they are looking out for their own interest, the igbos must do the same.There's no such thing as brotherhood in southern politics outside of tribe at this point.

I think few of our brothers and sisters are still as idealistic as Zik was when he was dealing with Awolowo and Bello. They knew the game, but he didn't. Just like some people ganging up on me do not understand the game. We do not see ourselves as one people, so why should I see myself as a Nigerian? I am Igbo first and foremost and I only care about our own interest.

How can we trust a people who sided with our enemies? I mean I would rather have the Hausa betray us then our closest neighbors.

I'll rather throw Beaf to the "dawg."

He can have him. I intend to die a virgin in that hole.

I speak for the silent majority.

If you look at this thread, I am not the only person who said that I mistrust the Ijaw. And rightfully so!  

chosen04:
THIS IS IT!!!. . . . . . .You spoke an everlasting truth and deserves more tha just a drink. . .

Watch out, people may jump on me, like I said that I mistrust the Ijaw.

Ikengawo:
yeah because nigeria and cameroon are worst places then somalia afganistan and haiti.

smfh. you people will buy anything that degrades your country just for the sake of feeling degraded.

Shut up! Are you in Naija? If not, you really need to shut up. The average Nigerian is just trying to survive.

I might give my support to Jonathan since his grandfather came from Arochukwu. He has Aro blood in him.

Glad we Igbos are majority Christian.

paddy_lo,

Agwo tupiakwa gi amu! 

Ikwikwi ka ibu. . .

Beaf,

You need to stop saying this 'south-south' and support One United Eastern Region. This 'south-term' terms gives me pain o! Aren't we all in the south-east? In the history of the world, I have never heard a people saying 'south-south.' Only In Nigeria will a fool claim he is from the 'south-south.'

Why would anyone want to go to that AIDs infested country known as South Africa?

asha 80:
Who told you beaf is ijaw?

He said he was mixed with Ijaw and Urhobo did he not?

paddy_lo,

I know you are "Igbo" but you do not speak on behalf of Igbos. You are one of those Igbos raised in Yorubaland, so you cannot be taken seriously, seeing how much you give praise to Lagos. I can tell you weren't raised in the East.

This 'South-South" nonsense was used to divide the East, create confusion amongst the Igbo who live in that region, and another way to exploit the land

How has these 6 geo-political zones benefited the Igbo? Any sane Igbo man will say that is not a benefit to us.

I look back to the days when the Igbo  held sway in our region and the nation in general.  In the First Republic, the president was Zik and the senate president was Orizu. And the days we had an Igbo premier (Okpara) and an Igbo governor (Ibiam)

Beaf,

You really want to start this beef again? Am I the only Igbo who mistrust the Ijaw in this thread. Look at the other post and many other people share my sentiments. You Ijaws talk out of both sides of your mouth. And I will never forgive the Ijaw in Port Harcourt who would not return our land!

In Port Harcourt, it was the Ijaws who were unforgiving and hostile, hence the passing of a , law by Diette-Spiff to seize Igbo property! Most Ijaw saw it as an opportunity to claw back some ground on Ndigbo who had controlled Port Harcourt before the war. Sam Mbakwe fought hard for most people to regain their property and it was only the vengeful nature of Diette-Spiff that prevented everyone gaining their property back! I will never forgive the Ijaw for this treachery!

Get out of this thread bk.babe97y. These threads have been quiet since you been gone and we have had good intellectual discussions.

That is why I support Gov Amaechi, he does not play around with these Okrika people. Those boos sounds like music to my ears. Igwe Ocha (Port Harcourt) will always remain an Igbo town. It is about time that these Ijaws understand that they cannot take this land from us.

He telling them that they have to leave is very funny as well. He is not asking them for permission, he is telling them. If these Okrika people do not like this ruling, then they can pack their bags and move to desolate Bayelsa state.

And the Ikwerre should understand that they need their Igbo brothers to the north. We will always be with them, even though they deny us sometimes. They are still our people and we shall support them.

Obiagu1:
This is funny. I know Igbos love peace and take care of their brothers and neighbours but the truth is that we should see reality for what it is – the Ijaws are the greatest enemy of the Igbos for no just cause.

If it were an Igbo man vying for the Presidency, the Ijaws won’t support him. Imagine Peter Odili, an Igbo from SS, shoved aside that he does not represent SS just because he is Igbo.

Now they need us right? Let’s be wise! The Ijaws till date keep saying that the North should remember they’ve always supported them in everything (at the expense of the other former easterners).

I agree with your sentiments! I do not trust the Ijaw one bit. They fear our domination and they are continuing to try and annex Port Harcourt (Igwe Ocha). We must be wary of them, because we have not been able to subdue them.

We had a chance when we were in regional governments, but we treated them like our brothers. We should have silenced them like the Yoruba did their ethnic minorities in the southwest. When was the last time you heard anything from a minority group in the southwest? The answer is NEVER!

The Ijaws need to realize that we Igbos are the majority in the East. We make up 60-70% of the East. Not including some Igbo subgroups and our Ibibio brethren. The sooner they realize this truth of truths, the better! Oh I wish we had regional governments! The forceful annexation of their land would be a fitting payback for their treachery led by Adaka Boro!

This fictional 'south-south' needs to be done away with as well. There is no such thing as a 'south-south.' Do we see a 'north-north.' No!

I'll hold my breath. . .

Why must my name be invoked?

Ileke-Idi, if you want me that bad, just ask and u shall receive.
