Fear of presidential debate should then be debatophobia and the fear of GEJ is GEJobia

Ojuchwu was I am sorry to say an idyot Never I mean Never fight a war you cannot win...He should have used the threat of war to improve the lot of his people but not war itself.

No, that is a cowards general that flees while his soldiers are in the heat of battle.

My problem with Chimamanda is how she's is always painting the Igbo tribe as a victim of modern Nigerian.

Yes! The oba's statement is full of folly! Yes! No sane human being should utter such silly words, especially when it is directed to a particular set of people. But to ride on the tide of a statement made by an illiterate shows how badly Chimamanda wants to play the "Igbo card" in any of her piece.

She said it herself! There is danger in single stories, they are stereotype and stereotypes are always incomplete. Start the story of Biafra war from how Igbo's were starved to death and you have a completely different story, start with the actions of Ojukwu and you have another story entirely.

The first Nigerian coup (1966) has Igbo written all over it. Maybe we should
start telling the story of Biafra from there.


I respect her works, but I really hope she would stop seeing the 1960 incident from Achebe's perspective and read the story from another angle.

Chai!!! Ndigbo being used since the time of Azikiwe.

The funny thing about you is that deep inside you, it hurts that the election didnt go your way. If you continue to see the northerner as your opponent that does not help our dear country. I am a Christian northerner who voted for GEJ in 2011. I refused to vote him this time around not because he is from SS but because his leadership was below par. I voted Buhari not because i am sure he can bring change, i did because i am hopeful that he will be better than GEJ.

For you, you have no hope in Buhari and am sure you wish he fails so you will tell the Northerners and westerners how they made a mistake. It is unfortunate that the same you who 'didn't believe he can bring the change' is expecting him to convince you. It is me who vote for him that needs to be convinced that i made the right choice.

However, we are all Nigerians and Buhari will be a president for Nigerians not the North and West alone. The only difference is that while the North and West will captain the plane called Nigeria, the SS and SE will be passengers on the ride who needs no convincing. If they dont like it, they can jump out at 30,000feet. Thats the bitter truth.

It is an abomination in Yoruba land for an Oba to apologize publicly. It will have negative effects in his people, so forget Oba apologizing because it won't happen. The best thing that can be done is others apologizing in his behalf which is what APC leaders are doing

Thank you very much, they did not vote for him yet they expect more than they are getting from the present government. Some people allow unnecessary sentiment to cloud their judgment and yet they will be making louder noise than those that gave their all to make it work.

adanny01:
Easterners need no convincing. Whether they like it or not, Buhari is their President. If Buhari does well, in 2019, Buhari will be reelected whether easterners like it or not. They made their bed, they must lie on it.

munky:
Your candidate won and you are still yet to tone down your bigotry. My question is what would you have done if your candidate lost the elections. You spend all your day pouring hate and abuse on the Igbo people. Well some things will never change.

What is good for the gander is also good for the goose..
Since Igbos have decided not to learn from history and continue to try and take us backwards and also try to destroy Nigeria's Unity because of the Civil War they started, we shall give them the same treatment.

you cannot treat everyone around you like fools and dirt and expected to be treated like heroes... who get unna time?
you started the Civil war with the first coup and forty years you are still playing professional victims.. the sorry we have told you is enough e don do..
if you decide to play tribal politics we will play it well with you.
since you have decided to the rebellious son we will mold you into who we want to be/..stupid set of people. we no go hear word again..

deskossy:
Everybody hates d igbos...yet they are the most successful tribe in naija

galadima77:
dont worry OP, GMB is gonna prove to ur brothers who voted for him that their votes were actually an effort to redeem Nigeria from those bent on ruining it for posterity..... and someday, those ur brothers are gonna smile and say "thank goodness i didnt let petty sentiment get over my patriotism"
God bless every true patriot of this nation!!!

thelastmediator:
Ultimatum as usual, We are use to it. As a young boy,I witnessed the Yoruba Vs Hausa and Yoruba Vs Ijaw crisis in a part of Lagos and I know what the Yorubas are capable of. The Igbo should thread with caution. Just a piece of advice.

Funny..... But you are right.

They didn't vote APC so how do they deserve it?

Yeske2:
You've said it all, let them continue to wallow in ignorance now and cry marginalisation tomorrow. So sad i'm Igbo too

tomzman:
I pray Igbos would one day see the wisdom in the decision Rochas made. Igbos should stop this hate, you would end up as losers in the end. Learn from this election!

Isholab:
It's really getting hotter the more. Make dem finish the collation thing joor and declare GMB as the winner. Abi now?

notobs:
The Truth of the rich Efik And Ibibio Traditions are well documented and has been a subject of intrigue to the europeans even before colonization and hence there is a lot of literature on our history of shared traditions, Readers will do well to read those account from Talbots, to Amah jones in peer reviewed journals and scholarly books and not ogogor/kiakia fueled figment of imagination of a few igbo wannabe revisionist historians posted on fringe websites and lacking in proper academic referencing as above.

A Copy can never be an Original.

don't mind him..telling lies when the andonis knew nothing else apart from canoe making. the nsibiri is peculiar to the Igbo, mgboko and Ejaagham peoples... nations of the cross river basin.
