She's an OBJ person so no surprise here.

*The crime of that tribe must be so great.*

In 1966: Nearly 1,000,000 of them were massacred in the North as revenge killings for a coup that was plotted by a young man that bears their name but had never been to their land.

They escaped back to their homeland and wanted a country of their own, but they were told that they must belong to one indivisible Nigeria

For three years, they resisted and lost another 3,000,000 of their kith and kin were fed to the vultures. Their entire homeland was a killing field, they were killed, and they were starved. Kwashiorkor finished up their starving children. Many of their wives and daughters were raped and some were taken into forced marriages.

After three years of annihilation, the genocide ended. The few that were still alive crept out of their holes and reembraced the country that has massacred them without a just cause.

To return to the country, they were economically stripped of their remaining dignity and offered only ₦40 each in exchange for their money...millionaires before the war restarted life with ₦40. They did not complain, they accepted their fate and reintegrated with all.

Within a short while, the country embarked on an indigenization policy which enabled many of their South Western, South-South and Northern brothers to buy up major multi-nationals at a giveaway price...with ₦40 in their pockets, they could only watch.... those that owned houses in the big cities lost their homes to the criminal policy of 'Abandoned property' as enacted by some states aimed at committing official stealing.

In the civil service, the policy of the quota system made it impossible for many of them to be accepted back into their former jobs...In trying to get a quality education for their children; the policy of giving admission to children from educationally disadvantaged states, saw their children score so high at entrance exams but locked out from most of the Federal Government Colleges and universities; even though they were coming from war, they were still categorized as educationally advantaged. 53 years after the war, the educationally disadvantaged states are still educationally disadvantaged and the Igbos are still blamed for everything and denied major government presence and projects.

Locked out of schools and locked out of public service, they embraced trading and other menial jobs that a man could do with his hands to feed his family. To survive, they spread out again to the big cities with memories of their dead ones and rundown homeland.

Everywhere they went, they lived frugally, sometimes, a master lived in his shop with his 5 boys until they made enough money to rent a one-room apartment.

Of all their brothers, the Yorubas were the most accommodating after the war and this made many of them quickly forget the pains of the war and settled down to play major roles in the development of the communities, in which they found themselves.

In their host communities, they never looked back in donating towards the building of schools, churches and whatever was required...Some even married the daughters of their hosts and some took titles. At drinking bars, you find Jide and Emeka drinking and laughing. At school, you find Ebube and Bisola reading and playing together as best of friends.

Soon, at the turn of the 90s, many of their town unions encouraged them to completely trust their hosts and join hands in opening up areas that were hitherto, uninhabited, especially the swamps and the mangroves....they bought swamps and the term 'sand filling' became popular, they bought thick mangrove forests and in mowing them down, they became Osuofia and the money coming from them, made their hosts happy because most of the places they bought and transformed had laid waste for years.

With vigour, they negotiated for lands to build markets, cleared the lands and built the markets and were happy to welcome state and local government tax and rate officials. If you slap them on one cheek, they gladly turned the other with a smile. When they build houses, they trust everything to their Yoruba builders and even in their homeland, all their building projects were done by the Yoruba boys they have come to love and trust.


Then...
1999 came....all celebrated the re-emergence of democracy…
but gradually, a new anti-Igbo message started, but they ignored it because they have completely fallen in love with their host...

In 2014.....
The divisive politicians showed up in their numbers and made them; the Igbos the sacrificial lamb all over again...

Someone wrote somewhere and I agree with him completely that:
In 1993, the Igbos voted Abiola against Tofa who had an Igbo as Vice-President…

In 1999, the Igbos voted for Obasanjo en-block

Obasanjo is Yoruba

Obasanjo lost Yorubaland but scored 85%+ in Igbo land

In 2003, the Igbos voted for Obasanjo

Obasanjo scored 95% in some Igbo states

Obasanjo defeated Ojukwu in Igbo land.

In 2007, the Igbos voted for Yaradua

Yaradua was Hausa-Fulani

Yaradua scored his highest percentage of votes in Igbo land

In 2011, the Igbos voted for Jonathan

Jonathan is Ijaw

Jonathan scored 95%+ in Igbo land

In 2015, the Igbos voted for Jonathan

Jonathan scored a higher percentage in Igbo land that in the South-South Region

In 2019, the Igbos voted for Atiku

Atiku is Fulani

Atiku scored a higher percentage in Anambra than Adamawa

In 2023, the Igbos voted for Obi

Obi is Igbo

Once the Igbos voted Obi they became ethnic-bigots

Once the Igbo gave Obi what they had given to Shagari, Abiola, Obasanjo, Ya' Ardua, Jonathan and Atiku, Igbos became criminals.

My heart is very heavy as I pen down these few lines because I smell another pogrom aimed at Igbos loading and I can't see anyone stopping the genocidal messages spreading on many South-West and other platforms... People are speaking of the coming Governorship election in Lagos on Saturday 11th March 2023 which has been shifted to 18th March 2023 as if it is a day that has been marked as D-Day for something very cold and un-Lagos.
And I ask again, what is the crime of the Igbos?
Some said Igbos claim to own Lagos and I laugh, someone who owns a place is buying land and paying tax and rents in the same place?
I am that ‘Kwashiorkored’ Igbo child (now 54) born in the war that you are trying to retrigger.

Good write up but you were economical with the truth.

rummmy:
Asiwaju is still dreaming to be sworn in?
Like he is not seeing what is happening around....
Nigerians have lost faith in inec and elections conducted by inec...
Inec under manhood is working in favour of apc...
A supposed electoral umpire.

You better get used to it ordinary Osun election tribunal sef dem still never finish am almost getting to a year. You Sabi how many years Presidential tribunal go take? .
And let me tell you another thing what Obi is doing is purely an "academic exercise".

Rather impeached former deputy.

Only if Chimaroke Nnamani wins his Senate bid should the SE be given the Senate President. If not SS or a Christian from NC should take it.
I trust Tinubu on this...nobody can dictate nonsense to him. He's different from Bubu.

Na everyday una go dey repeat this news. Okay we don hear

May God forgive you....anybody still wishing PDP on Abia is evil!

Shouldn't this be the function of police? What's the business of army in this? This does not add up.

You can blast Sanwoolu but poor performance is not part of it.

Arise TV truly distorted the interview....Aondoakaa never said that. I watched the interview. He even said there was already a precedence to that case which was instituted by Buhari against the late Yar'adua back in 2007/2008. Arise TV are liars.
Even your Obi is not arguing that section in court; you people are just too aggressive.

BeardedmeatR:
So why do you send your children to maim innocent people and burn their shops because they have a different political opinion?

Why do you maim and kill your own illustrious sons and daughters all because they don't support your ipob ideology?!

ShadowCracker:
Oga rest abeg.
You are not even from Lagos, if not you would not even be questioning if Rhodes-Vivour is a Lagosian.

Lagosians know ourselves.

We will still vote Grv, we will still vote Labour Party.

E shock you abi, una never see anything yet.

If you like make it about Igbo's nah your papa problem be that.

You that you're talking sef you're also not from Lagos. Why is Lagos your main concern?!

You people just like sensationalism... there's nothing special their. Life shouldn't be too hard!

Should governors have the prerogative of power to release people on death row? This is dangerous and should be reviewed. The executive shouldn't have this kind of power. Most times people like this end up committing more grievous crimes.

Injera:
He also claim he attended ecole in France, a very ivy league school in France

His father said so too anyway.

LikeAking:
Send an email to CSU and wait for dia reply...

A lot of people have already done that. Here is a sample of the reply

Hellonearth:
Did u verify his primary school certificate

Tell me how many people still have their primary school certificate? Even you yourself talking.

LikeAking:
Don't believe the lies of OP.

If you dey doubt me send a similar mail to you he school and see their response. Ordinary individuals can't have access to such info..

Who told you that? Didn't people send mail to CSU to confirm Tinubu's studentship and they replied everybody. Proper investigation must be carried out on this matter.

nazicartel:
didn't want to reply this. But Aketi's wife stepped down during primaries because of some strong men from her senatorial district. Not because she married a Yoruba man. The issue was just internal ( like party issues ). I was working with one of them then. AKETI wasn't even discussed then. Let's get our facts correct before coming online

You're a liar Aketi's wife didn't step-down for anybody. Where were you when she was lamenting on TV that she has been cheated at the primaries?

IgOga:
I can confirm that he attended Nottingham University. We both attended thesame Uni

But what of MIT? If it's proven to be false, I just pray he didn't submit such certificate to INEC. This is a serious matter o!

This is a very serious matter. People should contact both schools he claimed to attend; both Nottingham and MIT with his full name; Chinedu Gbadebo Rhodes-vivour. Then verify with INEC which certificate he submitted for screening.
We can't afford to have a fraud as Lagos state governor!

Beremx:
This propaganda does not fly at all.

Next propaganda please!!

It doesn't fly abi....just chill

chatinent:
Out of a sudden, people are actually verifying certificates. When last did you verify Tinubu's primary and secondary certificate?

Make una dey calm down. This initial ovasabi no dey help. If you guys don't want him, vote him out. Since this Lagos thing, the level of tribalism planted in you folks from your elite classes have consumed y'all totally...more like y'all were waiting until now to cast this fury.

Nigeria is a mess already and the least you should contribute to is tribalism...you only help politicians.


Truly, the Igbos, Yorubas, and Hausas/Fulani are the most tribalistic tribes in Nigeria.

I wonder what other minor groups would do if these trio are claiming they are superior to the other.


Funnily enough, I have people living with me from the three major tribes and they aren't tribalistic because they choose to be apolitical to tribal politics. E come bi like they are the only reasonable people in Nigeria.

Tinubu's attendance and certificate in Chicago State University(CSU) has been verified true many times.
Maybe they should add Chinedu to the name.

Anything against Tinubu ori whatever he stands for will always get Obasanjos's support. No vacancy in Alausa!

LPs lack of preparation is what is leading to all these. If they need any data they should get it from the backend or Irev. Do they even have the manpower to extract data from 176,000 BVAS machine? Thesame party that couldn't provide agents in all its polling units. They should stop being a clog to the wheel of progress of this country. Nothing will stop the governorship election from being held on saturday.

It is shameful that the Catholic Church could descend so low to be selecting candidates for the people. How can anybody still wish PDP on Abia state? . Pls keep them shut by voting massively for Alex Otti(LP).

This man and his usual nonsense....!!!

IbileIfe:
Are you RE-TAR-DED?
He is a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) with his own Chambers and staff.
I doubt if you can even work as his paralegal.
You cannot even read the thesis of his first degree.

Non-entities come online to display their intellectual ignorance and stupidity with N100 data.

Your body too dey hot....I was referring to Vector

No wonder his career is dead.
